storing confidence between neighbours. I have not called you here to ask for protection; I can depend upon my own right arm, and the loyalty, courage, and attachment of my servants; and if I do fall by a rebel hand, the traitor may win but a dear-bought victory. I call you here to defend your honour, your property—to give new life to that confidence and friendship between landlord and tenant which I have always prized as the greatest boon handed down to me by my ancestors. Would you uphold your honour ? Then come forward like men, not like cowards waiting to proclaim the victorious party in this struggle as your friends, but boldly to declare your policy, be it loyalty, be it rebellion; meet me as friends or foes, but wear uo disguise. Would you protect your property ? Be loyal. What must be the result of this conflict even were the rebels successful for a moment? England__ mighty England— would send her power to crush the traitors to the ground. Ireland— unhappy Ireland— deserted by her few remaining men of capital, would have to support a double amount of soldiery, and would contain but three classes of inhabitants— the paid soldier, the unemployed labourer, and the distracted farmer. Would you retain the confidence of your landlord ? Act as you have done in days of yore, declare your resolution to uphold the Queen, the law, and justice. Such was your conduct in former rebellions. Have I any cause to doubt you now ? —Have not Land my wife lived amongst you ?—have we not studied your comfort?— have we not spent more than 100,CC3i. in the last six years for the general good, within twenty miles of this hou3e?—have I not been a good landlord ?—has she not been the best of women ? Now, then, do you expect to better your condition by passing from our hands into the guidance of a set of coward traitors__ to-day gaudy in uniform and daring of speech, and tomorrow vanishing at the smell of powder? fordid they but gain power they would hold you but as the mean tool of their ambition. But I hope for better things; I trust that you will warrant the affection and good opiniou I have always had for you. I am sure that you will assist to restore peace and good-will.”

Cork— The Constitution states that Cahirroovle House, (Mr. O’Brien’s residence), has been searched for another of the rebel leaders, Mr. O’Gorman, jun ; the pursuit is said to have been so hot that he escaped the police by hut half an hour. He is reported to have had about 150 desperadoes with him, and a fierce resistance to his arrest is anticipated. The Examiner gives cur rency to an absurd report that Mr. O ’Gorman had been shot dead in Tarbert.

SECOND EDITION. LATEST FROM IRELAND.

THE W A R P A R T Y — THE LEADERS. (Prom the Morning Chronicle of Saturday.) D ublin, A u g . 3 .— Still there is no account deserving the slightest credit about the locale of General O’Brien and his lieutenants. The rumours are as numerous and conflicting as before, and new versions are given, on the authority of letters from Galway, of the escape of O ’Brien, accompanied by Meagher, Dillon, and Doheny, in a schooner bound for America. I have seen one of those letters, which gives a circumstantial story about the manner in which the fugitives effected their escape, and the professed object of the writer was to allay all apprehension in the minds of Mr. O ’Brien’s relations regarding his safety.

The military authorities in Tipperary appear quite confident that Smith O’Brien is still concealed in the neighbourhood of Slievenamon mountain, or the collieries of Slievardagh.

‘ on Saturday, by a police party, Smith O’Brien fled to

Killenaele, which he left on Saturday evening; but, ‘ from that hour to this, nothing deserving a moment’s credence has appeared respecting the movements of “ the fugitive.’

The Globe says: — •“ W e hear it stated that some near “ relatives of Mr. Smith O’Brien either have taken, or “ are about to take out, a commission of lunacy to in“ quire into the state of that gentleman’s mind for some “•time past.”

It is now the general belief that Mr. T . F . Meagher has effected his escape.

The Cork Examiner has the following curious statement in a letter from Nenagh, dated Tuesday evening— “ The sy mpathy for Mr. O’Brien in this town is very great. Nothing has been heard of him here, though “ troops are marching in every direction. The people “ al° nii the entire line from Cashel to this town, who “ were connected with the Clubs, are deeply incensed “ against the Priests, who, they assert, encouraged “ them at first, and are now strenuously opposing them. ‘ ‘ A s to the former assertion, I cannot form any opinion; “ but I am well aware that at present the Priests o f “ this part of the country exhort their flocks to abstain “ from anything like insurrection. The feeling in the “ P'ace is particularly strong against the Rev. Mr. “ Kenyon, who, it is believed here, treated Mr. Lawlor, ** A f r M o a r r l i a f n r id rvfVtnv« ______ t _ n , i

Mr. Meagher, and other prominent members of the ‘ party, in anything but a gentlemanly manner, re“ fusing to see them when they called on him at his ‘ ‘ residence. It is almost impossible to say where Mr. “ O’Brien and his friends are ; but the rumour most “ generally believed here is, that they have gone on “ towards the W icklow hills. It is generally said that ‘ ‘ Mr. Dillon has deserted his party and fled on towards

‘ the Shannon. Mr. J . F . Lalor lies in -----------the gaol of , tin» town, and is in a very delicate state of health. (* It is thought that he will be tried at the assizes which

‘ now going on. Mr. Doheny’s case will be called on to-morrow, when it is feared that his securities, Mr. Maurice Linehan, of the " , . Vindicator, and Mr.

Eagan, of Roscrea, will be obliged to pay in the bail ‘ which they passed for his appearance at the present

The A rmy in the D isaffected Districts.— More troops continue to arrive in the disaffected districts, and fresh encampments are being formed. I have seen a letter from Ballingarry, the scene o f the recent conflict, which states that the police are occasionally bringing in fugitives, but without arms. Large quantities of arms, however, have been seized by the police in the district, and the writer says,— “ The insurrectionary spirit is rapidly subsiding in this quarter.”— Correspondent of Morning Chronicle■

Prom the Times of this morning we ex'ract the following from their Correspondent’s letter from headquarters, near Ballingarry, under date of Wednesday:—

It was ascertained by General Macdonald that Smith O’Brien had slept on Saturday night at the house of a person named Costigan, under-forester to Mr. W . P. Barker, Kilcooley. Costigan was in consequence summoned to appear before the General, and was accordingly examined in his presence by Capt. Fitzmaurice. The General wanted information as to Smith O’Brien, but Costigan completely foiled him.

The following singular manifesto, issued by Smith O’Brien to the Mining Company, was last night forwarded to the Lord-Lieutenant by Gen. Macdonald :—

“ Callao, July 29.

” Mr. William Smith O’Brien presents his compliments to the directors of the Mining Companies, and feeling it incumbent upon him to do all in his power to prevent the inhabitants of the collieries from suffering inconvenience in cousequence of the noble and courageous protection afforded by them to him, takes the liberty to offer the following suggestion

“ He recommends that for the present the whole of the proceeds arising weekly from the sale of coal and culm be applied in payment of men constantly employed in raising coal and culm.

“ He recommends that a brisk demand be encouraged by lowering the price of coal and culm to the public.

“ In case he should find that the Mining Company endeavour to distress the people by withholding wages, and by other means, Mr. O’Brien will instruct the colliers to occupy and work the mines on their own account; and in case the Irish revolution should succeed, the property of the Mining Company will be confiscated as national property.

“ On the contrary, if the Mining Company observe a strict and honourable neutrality, doing their utmost to give support to the populace of their district during the present time of difficulty aad trial, their property will be protected to the utmost extent of Mr. O’Brien’s power.”

(From the Freeman of Friday.) Thurles, Thursday, 5 p.m .— The “ moving column of troops, under command of General M'Donald, consisting of the 74th and 85th Regiments, and the 60tli Rifles, suddenly broke up their encampment here yesterday, and moved towards the colliery district, where, it is said, Mr. Smith O’Brien still remains, all the rumours to the contrary notwithstanding. Quarter-past 5.— The mail car has just arrived from Killenaule. A ll quiet there. No arrests.

K ilkenny, Thursday Night, 9 o’Clock. — Up to this hour all is tranquil in this city and county ; hut I am bound to say that both in town and the rural district there is very general discontent, and that deep sympathy is felt with Smith O’Brien all through the county.

Nenagh, Thursday Evening.— It is a fact that early on Wednesday Mr. Thomas F . Meagher and two others passed near Nenagh, and were driven up to the foot of the Keeper Mountain.

A nother A rrest.— The brother of Mr. Lalor, who is here in custody on a charge o f treason, was this day arrested on suspicion.

Clonmel, Wednesday Evening, August 2.—More arrests are taking place; amongst them Mr. J. O’Donnell, of Ballyboe, who took thechair at the great Slievenamon demonstration.

Smith O ’Brien’s flight was traced to within a mile of Urhngford, in the county of Kilkenny. His track was there lo st; but it is clear that he cannot escape. He wore four pistols at his belt, and intends, it is said, to die with arms in his hand. Even before his flight, his jaded air and exhausted powers struck his followers. H e has been seen to weep, seated under a haystack. He has slept in the open fields or in the meanest huts. Early in the week he was seen, with his portmanteau and carpet bag, in a cart, surrounded by his armed followers, stretched at length, apparently much fatigued, bolstering himself with his luggage. To a respectable farmer he said, sighing deeply, that he felt he was a doomed man ; that the support he got was not such as he expected. It is believed that the sudden need of a retreat caused by the powers of arrest granted to the LordLieutenant, threw him into the Mullinahone district, where Clubs were not organised ; and there he at once found he had failed, and only hoped to defend his person Aom capture for a fortnight, until the crops and the f lftlin trv w n ro i>ina TT!------ ’ ■*

assizes.” Clonmel, Tuesday— There seems to be no clue as to the whereabouts of the chiefs, but it is stated that Doheny has sold them, and that they are in desperation. I know a Protestant clergyman whom Smith O ’Brien met on Saturday night as he was flying from the Police on horseback, and to whom he mentioned that he had been deceived by Doheny, being given by him to understand that the whole county of Tipperarv was ready to rise, and eager for the word to commence.— Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.

The Hue and Cry, in addition to the names given in the last publication as charged with treasonable practices, contains the name of Richard O’Gorman, jun. The following is the description given of the parties named :—

“ William Smith O’Brien— Has a sneering smile constantly on his face; full whiskers, sandy, a little grey; well set man, walks erect, dresses well.

“ Thomas Francis Meagher— High cheekbones; peculiar expression about the eyes, rather cocked nose, no whiskers, well dressed.

liesterday a man was taken up by the police for harbouring Doheny— the penalty for which crime is death.

Cork.— Several arrests have taken place. They are Messrs. Isaac and Ralph Varian, Mr. Denny Lane, Mr. Mullen, and Mr. Barry, editor o f the Cork Southern Reporter.

It is stated that a war-steamer will be in the river to-morrow, to hear away the prisoners to Fort George, in Scotland.

Sixteen gun-boats, containing twenty-five men, each armed with pistols and cutlasses, and six of them having twelve carronades at their bows, have been towed up from the Cove by two steamers, and anchored off the Custom-house Quay, whilst the city was searched for arms.— Morning Herald.

Roscrea— Mr. Edward Eagan and Mr. Quin have been arrested. _______

The Marqois of WATERFORD.—The tenantry of the Marquis of Waterford were recently convened by his

Mr. Walsh, of Glinstown, then read an address from the assembled body, and the meeting, after signing the address, separated. From the Third

Edition of the Morning Chronicle of Friday.)

L IT T L E T O N (ten miles West o f Ballingarry)

Co. Tipperary, Aug. 1, Eight p.m. The terrified families of the neighbourhoods of Waterford, Clonmel, and Kilkenny, retreated to those towns, but the well-affected inhabitants of more remote neighbourhoods, who could not leave their properties, sought the shelter of any stronger house at hand, garrisoned it as part of the common family, and at night, through planked up windows, with guns disposed in readiness, watched for the enemy till day.

In the morning, before breakfast, the gentlemen and the more courageous of their wives and daughters sought their respective homes, and only returned to the common shelter at tea time. To-night, if they cannot venture to resume their own homes, they at least can sleep at peace, without keeping up watches during the night.

W aterford, A ugust 1.—A t Carriek a great change in the tone of the people is manifest within the last two days. I don’t apprehend any disturbance there, although it was in the most disturbed state. The Rev. Dr. Conolly, Roman Catholic Pastor, has denounced the leaders, and cautioned all under his care against break iag the peace. A t Cahir the Dean denounced the n yvement on Sunday; at Cashel, the parish Piiesl pronounced against i t ; at Clogheen, the Rev. Mr. Kelly lent his voice to its suppression ; and Archdeacon Laffan, at Feathard, gave his powerful assistance from the Altar in withdrawing his parishioners om being led astray. From the strong opposition given to the Confederates by the greater portion of the Roman Catholic Clergy, and the Old Irelanders being disinclined to fraternise, I think I may assure you of peace, at least in the districts I have mentioned in this report.

I t may not be uninteresting to your readers to know that the crop looks most luxuriant, and, from all I have been able to gather from competent judges, the existence of the potato blight is all nonsense.

The R ebellion Denounced.—The altars of Carrickon-Suir, Cahir, Clonmel, and Cashel rung with denunciations against the physical force movement on Sunday morning last— all the priests, with a few exceptions, are for peace.— Morning Chronicle of Friday.

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Limerick (Dr. Ryan), iu addressing his congregation on Sunday last, adverted in strong terms to the disorganised state of society arising from the “ political agitation”— a rather gentle term, by the way— going forward in the country.— Times.

Another dignitary of the Roman Catholic Church is equally entitled to credit. The Rev. Dr. Coll, of Newcastle said— “ He knew too well the sincerity and bravery “ of the British soldiery to conceive for a moment that “ they would tarnish the victories they had achievedby “ being guilty of so base an act; and that if he appre“ hended they bad an idea of doing so, be would be the “ first to caution them against so vile an act of dege“ neracy.”

The Limerick Reporter of Tuesday says:— “ SiDce the “ passing of the late act, it is said that the inhabitants “ of several districts in the county have resolved to pay “ neither rents, tithes, nor taxes.”

State of Feeling.—Callan, Tuesday Night.— The quiet which succeeded the victory of Saturday last still continues undisturbed. Y e t it would be wrong to say that although treason has been overawed it has been entirely repressed. I have the most ample facilities for observing the actual condition of the country, and I lament to say that the people are deeply and widely disaffected; that they do not accept the fight at Boulagh Common as anything more than a temporary defeat, and that they are anxiously waiting for the moment when the removal of the military and the return of Smith O’Brien may enable them to resume the contest. I have the fullest evidence of this
