It is rumoured that last night the mayor and magistrates came to the conclusion that it was necessary to take the more dangerous o f the Liverpool demagogues into custody, and in pursuance o f this decision a war

„

Pious reader, please to pray for the hamiv reno»» t «. i . , 1Dt0. CU8tody’ aDd ln Pursuance o f this decision : V i n___ P„ , . hsppy repose of the lately rant was made out for the arrest of Fir insane enterprise, are generally still ready to peril their l iv e s ; and some of the chief leaders “ amongst them are prepared for any extremity ; but “ their plans are not matured— their forces are scattered and disorganised— the Roman Catholic Clergy, with few exceptions, are actively and de“ cisively hostile, and there is neither armament, “ commissariat, nor the means o f organisation or “ discipline.”

In Tipperary the Archbishop is known to be a warm friend o f peace, and at Roscrea the Very Rev. Thomas Blake, V .G ., has addressed his parishioners against the Clubs and the preparations lor war.

Mr. Doheny was to have been entertained by all the Clubs on Sunday night, but Mr. Blake warned his parishioners against the Clubs and the horrors o f war. “ He could tell them what would be some o f “ the natural consequences o f ‘ the war.’ Ireland, “ that affords at any time o f late little more than a “ week’s provisions, could, by a blockade o f the ports, “ be immediately placed under the effects o f a fearful “ famine. They had ju st escaped from two fearful “ scourges, the famine and pestilence; and did they “ now long for the sword ? What they wanted was “ industry and the blessing o f God to make them “ happy, and although there were in this diocese 155 ' ‘ clergymen, he thought he was quite safe in saying “ there were not fiv e in favour o f the course they were “ pursuing."

In Cork, the Bishop, it is said, lias sent round his Clergy “ amongst the Clubs, to use all the influence “ in their power to dissuade the misguided people “ from their ruinous courses.” Other instances of the like kind will be found in another part o f this jo u rn a l ; but, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that a few clergymen may be taking a very different course. Friday’s Freeman contains the fo llow in g :— “ I t is currently rumoured that several other war“ rants have been issued fo r the apprehension o f the “ more prominent members o f the Clubs. Messrs. “ D illon , Meagher, O’Gorman, and M ‘Gee, have been “ named, and it is even said some clergymen are “ amongst the number o f those whose arrests have “ been ordered.”

On Friday morning the police brought in from Blanchardstown, by railway, three or four anonymous prisoners, “ young men o f the middle class.’ >Drogheda. Thursday Evening.—About three o’clock, Mr. P. Marron, editor o f the Drogheda Argus, Mr. P. Hart, and Mr. S ephen Drew, were arrested on a charge of training and drilling. Mr. Drew was dismissed, but Messrs. Marron and Hart were held to bail to appear at the next Meath assizes. On leaving the office, they were loudly cheered by a large crowd of respectable tradesmen and others, and on their return to the Argus office, in West-street, a deafening cheer was given for “ The Queen and Repeal.”

Saunders’s News Letter states that at two o’clock this morning a cat containing five persons was stopped at the Blanchardstown Turnpike-gate by a constable and one o f the police o f that station, and upon examining the car they discovered there three guns, three pistols, two bullet-moulds, and two pike-heads, with a large quantity o f ball-cartridge, powder, balls, caps, &c. The ear was conveyed to the station-house. The prisoners gave their names as Kenna, O’Rourke, Hayes, Lee. and Fahay. They were escorted into town by twelve mounted and sixty foot policemen o f the reserve force, at four o’clock this morning.

The Clubs of Cork have issued a proclamation, signed by the Presidents o f fourteen Clubs, calling on the people not to resist in case o f any arrest or seizure o f arms, but by no means to dissolve themselves.
