The decline was rapid to wards the close of business, the telegraph bringing Consolsi , per cent. lower than the closing price of last night. The quo tations of business done were : East Lancashire Preference, pm. ; Leeds Preference, pm. London Stock, 125; Quarter Shares, 1 pm. ; Midland Stock 1 C 3 ; If Shares, 6 51 6 dis. ; Newcastle and Carlisle, les North Union A, 206; Shrewsbury Preference, 13; Dover No. 1 8 i dis. ; No. 4, 2{ dis. ; • Royal Assurance, U pm. The supplies, which up to Friday's market were generally light, have been subsequently increased, making, for the week ending yesterday, several parcels of Wheat, Malt, and Flour coastwise, but very little of anything from Ireland. From Canada, during the same time, the imports consist of 629 qrs. Wheat and 6588 barrels Flour; from the United States 11,825 qrs. Indian Corn and 2824 barrels Corn Meal; from Europe 4615 qrs. Wheat, 550 qrs. Barley, with 7598 qrs. Beans thence and Egypt. By daily advices from various parts of this country and Ire land, complaints of the Potato blight continue to increase; but as in some districts the disease is stated to have shewn itself in a mitigated form, and in others to be less perceptible, opinions on this subject, even of practical agriculturists, are contradictory. We may observe, however, that these remarks apply to the produce of the seed intended for early use ; the main crop, planted later, appearing so far nearly, if not wholly, untainted. Meanwhile the markets are plentifully supplied with the article from the growers at extremely low prices. There was a fair attendance of town and country millers at our market to-day, and the rise in London yesterday giving an impulse to the trade here, Wheat of all qualities was in fair re quest at an advance of 4d. to 6d. per 701bs. over the rates of Tuesday last. Sack - Flour was 25., and barrel Is. dearer. In Barley, Malt, and Pease, no variation. The general qualities of Beans maintain late prices; and Egyptian realized an amendment of Is. per quarter. Oats being scarce, improved fully 2d. per 451 b. from the quotation of this day week, and Oatmeal 2s. per load. The transactions in Indian Corn have again been considera ble to-day, realizing au advance on all kinds of 3s. per quarter since this day week. The market has been nearly cleared of Indian Meal, at an advance of Is. 6d. per barrel. 0 0 . I 0 0 0 ib. ) G 3 W CO -tom 1 .... t C) ib.

SlR,—Since my last letter was written, I have been reminded of a point of some importance, and which natu rally strikes one as having something mysterious about it. We are frequently told that we should have made our ob jections to the Rivington scheme at the proper time ; that is, before the committee of the House of Commons. It is contended that no bill ever encountered a more severe opposition, and that surely all its weak points must have been well sifted. I will attempt an explanation of this. When the bill was before parliament, the Water Works - Companies went up prepared to make a strong fight for the local supply. While there, however, the Corporation found they could make no progress till they had agreed to purchase the interest of both companies, and this was consequently arranged. The parties, therefore, who had gone to London expressly for this purpose were silenced, and the opposition was then chiefly that of mill-owners, canal companies, and parties interested in rival schemes. Consequently, the local supply question was almost, if not wholly, without an advocate. But let us not look back : we wish to make no accusa tions. If we, as ratepayers, have neglected our interest, we must suffer; but this should not close our eyes to the future, now that they have been in some measure opened. And now, again, the cry is raised—" indifference to the wants of the poor"—" neglect of the health of the town." many of those who are now asking for more time to test the local supply, (for this is all we ask,). need not fear to stand before their townsmen on this question too. We do seek the health, welfare, and happiness of the poor, knowing that our own comfort is inseparably connected with theirs—and it rejoices nie to read the following para graph in the papers of last week : " HEALTH OF THE TOWN.—We are glad to learn, from a report presented to the health committee, by Dr. Dun can, that the health of the town is at present in a very satisfactory state. During the quarter ending Ist July, about 2000 deaths were registered in the parish of Liver pool, being , 900 less than during the previous quarter, and 2800 less than during the previous quarter of last year. Since the beginning of May, the mortality has been below the average of the season. It is particularly gratifying to know that fever, which committed such tre mendous ravages amongst us last year, is less preva lent than it has usually been even in ordinary years. During the month of June. only 26 deaths took place from fever, while in June, 1847, there were not less than 769. The different fever-sheds and the wards in the Workhouse which were temporarily devoted to fever pa tients, were closed some time ago, the old fever hospital (built forty years since) affording sufficient accommoda tion for the cases now requiring it." But let me ask, has the Rivington water effected this ? or has even a better supply from the local wells done it ? for it is only quite lately that any change has been made in the quantity. No : under God's essing, it is to a great extent due to the efforts of our Corporation, in an other department of which several of the Water Com mittee are actively engaged ; and we thank them most sincerely for the labour they bestow upon it. Would you ask where we are to see the workings of the efforts here alluded to ? I answer, inquire into the dutie s of Mr. Newlands, Dr. Duncan, Mr. Fresh, and others. Though perhaps much remains to be done, you will there see enough to account for our more healthy condition. Proper sewers and drainage are the foundation of all sanatory operations. These are being carefully attended to, and the course laid down by Mr. Newlands is the cor rect one, viz., to take a comprehensive view of the posi tion of the whole town, and proceed with such parts as are most required and as the funds can be spared. Cleansing the courtsand driving the people from the cellars is the next step, and this hasbeen and is in effectual progress. General cleanliness, ventilation, and other essentials to health are being urged upon the people. All this and much more is in operation, and the practical results may be seen in the report of Dr. Duncan, above quoted. The habitation of the poor man to be healthy, should be above ground, clean, well ventilated, and dry. About 6 gallons of water per head per diem, will keep everything clean and wholesome, and provide for all wants,—more would be useless or worse than useless. While, however, all these measures are producing so many good results, the utmost economy is essential. The high rates that now burden the town counteract much that sanatory measures tend to alleviate ; the latter ope rate gradually to thin the population and to force it from the dense and less healthy districts to those that are more elevated, while the former occupants of these parts in their turn retire to the out-townships. But it is now too evi dent that the existing pressure is greatly counteracting this beneficial tendency by causing the masses to close in again upon the heart of the town. This is one of the argu ments on which we urge the propriety of further inquiry before a fresh and uncertain outlay is commenced. Discussions have arisen as to who should have charge of the water pipes within the borough. I should not have thought that this subject could have caused a moment's he sitatichi. As a matter of course the corporation engineer must have the sole control,—no other system can work long without serious injury to the public interests. Before leaving the subject I propose, as briefly as possi ble, to enumerate some of those points which may be styled " fallacies." They are of two classes, viz., those which arise from an ignorance of the true bearings of the case, and those which arise either from giving undue im portance to trifles, or from drawing wrong inferences from facts in themselves true. Not however desiring to judge of motives, I will leave the public to draw their own con clusions. I.—ln these discussions, it is a common fallacy, in at tempts to show that the local supply must be very expen sive, to make calculations like the following, viz. :—lf to pump 3,000,000 gals. costs £5,000 ner annum, 16,000,000 will cost £26,666; and, if one well, with its engine, costs £50,000, and only yields 1,500,000 gallons, wells for 16,000,000 will cost £533,000—a larger sum than the Rivington scheme. There are three great fallacies here. Instead of 16,000,000 of fresh water, we may not, for many years,. require more than 6,000,000, which our present wells will supply, with a trifling expenditure. Next : a well with its appendages need not cost £50,000; for in stance,—Windsor Station cost about £27,000. And lastly, the expense of pumping by no means increases in propor tion to the quantity of water raised. In some cases, the only additional expense will be in coals. 2.—lt is a fallacy to suppose that we go into the extreme of asserting that the local supply can last for ever. We merely say that it will probably last for many years; and, when more is wanted, that the additional quantity may be obtained, at a trifling expense, compared with the present contemplated outlay. And we say, also, that great re liance, founded on past experience, may be placed on the wells, while there is considerable uncertainty as to the Rivington water. 3.—The failure of Berry-street well is no argument against the local supply—it was not very deep, and the machinery was in bad condition, so that there was no effort made to preserve it. Owing to the large number of wells there can be no doubt that the level of the water under the town becomes lower ; this operation is, however, very slow, and is easily followed up at a trifling expense. We are aware that any benefit from surface water in the town is almost wholly lost; but we have no evidence to show that the supply derived from the deep springs which are tapped by boring is at all diminished, or has an injurious effect on private wells; from this source, there are well grounded expectations that large additions may be made to the supply, at a light expense. 4.—lt is a decided fallacy to expect profitable increase in the water rents by carrying the pipes beyond the borough—an argument often urged to reconcile us to pay. ing for so much more water than we are likely to use. The cost of the pipes is not provided for in the estimate, and it will be a long time before they can be laid with any pros pect of returuins . 5 per cent. interest. s.—lt is a great fallacy to suppose that the water rents will be much increased because of the Rivington water being brought here; with either supply the demand will probably gradually extend. A few additional tenants amongst the manufacturers may be induced to take the Rivington water at a very low rate, but it must be recol lected that, if a reduction is made to some, it must to all those who are at present paying a much higher rate : and thus not increase the gross receipts. 6. I believe I am quite safe in styling as fallacies those attempts which are made to depreciate cur local wells. I have reason to believe that, except that the general Itvel of the water is lower, (owing perhaps to the loss of sur face water,) the quantity is as abundant as ever, and the quality is equal to what it ever was. I believe also there is no doubt of our being able to increase the quantity, when required, to a very great extent. 7.—1 should have devoted a few lines to refute Mr. Spencer's table of experiments, showing the supposed quantity of salt in the town wells, had not Mr. Spencer himself (though rather tardily, 1 confess) shown the in correctness of the published statement of his experiments. B.—Both the friends and foes of the local supply con stantly persevere in the error of supposing that we ever intend to use salt water for fires, and on this mistake, sometimes I fear intentionally made, is raised a great ob jection to the salt water scheme. We do not propose to use salt water for fires—we contemplate that the fresh water mains will always be full, and therefore ready for fires at all tunes. The quantity required is but a trifle compared with the other demands, and would not be felt. Salt water for watering streets, flushing sewers, washing courts, and for public baths, is all we ever contend for ; and, for these purposes, salt water is very superior to fresh. • 9.—lt would be a fallacy to attempt to leave the deci sion of this question to either one or three persons, as has been proposed ; we have within ourselves the safest test — leave it to the practical men who are now in the employ ment of the corporation, only give them time and the question will be fairly tried. They should not, however, have the fear of the displeasure of the Water Committee before their eyes, but be allowed to feel that it is no longer a party question. 10.—It Would perhaps be unkind to clear away the very pleasing fallacy in which some persons indulge, in con templating the amount of work which is in store for the poor when the Rivington works are in progress. The people out beyond Chorley have certainly a very keen sense of the benefits to be thus derived to themselves, as I found on a recent visit to that locality, but what good it will do to our own poor I am at a loss to see; but if the local supply is maintained, they will have a chance of keeping in their own hands what little is to be done. 11.—It is a very great fallacy to suppose that our local supply is in the least injured by drainage from sewers and cess-pools ; the perfect freedom from all organic matter, of the well water, is our best proof ; and here we have an unquestionable advantage over the Rivington water. Having now, Mr. Editor, sufficiently taxed your kind ness, and the patience of your readers, I will close my poor remarks by again recommending a calm and good tempered consideration of this important though tiresome subject—let there be no calling names, especially in the council—no bitterness—no p_rty spirit—no concealment of important facts and undue magnifying of trifles. We all have the good of the town at heart, and let us adopt the beet means of ascertaining it. JOHN GRANTHAM. • --I • • co • 62 • G. • LATER FROM THE WEST INDIES, Since our first form went to press, giving the intelligence brought by the West Indian steamer, which arrived at Southampton on Sunday, we have received the following additional news : The brig Greenock, of Glasgow, was lost at St. Domingo, on the 4th June, loading mahogany for Liverpool ; part of her crew came home passengers per Forth. The Forth observed a fleet of men of war, consisting of five brigs, one frigate, and four line of battle ships, stand in, in for the land near the Dodmans, on the m orn i ng o f th'elStli. The weather being hazy, they were soon lost sight of. Intelligence from Port-au-Prince states that horrible massacres continue to be perpetrated, but at Martinique comparative tranquility prevailed. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Lee was wrecked on a reef sixty miles north of Belize, on the 10th of June; crew saved. Bermuda was in an unsettled state, in consequence of a report, being current. when the packet left, that an attempt would be made by a large party of Irish from New York to rescue the convict Mitchel. A ship had arrived thither from Halifax with the intelligence that a large body of his countrymen were making preparations for this pur pose. The government at Bermuda were, notwithstanding the improbability of such a course of proceeding, adopting precautionary measures to resist any attempt that may be made. _ _ _ All the colonies were healthy. and rain had fallen in great abundance in most of the West India Islands. A slight shock of an earthquake had been felt in the island of St. Thomas, but no damage whatever had been done either to life or property. It was reported that the slave population at Cuba had evinced symptoms of an outbreak, but the government were fully prepared for any emergency. The damage done to public and private property, by the late events in Paris, has been estimated at 10,000,000 francs, or about £400,000 sterling. A curious case of injury is recorded in connexion with the recent outbreak in Paris. It is related of one indivi thial that a ball went in at one cheek and out through the other, but, as his mouth happened to be open, it touched neither his jaws nor his teeth. In St. fetersburgh, on the 7th of July, there were 3,571 persons ill of the cholera, to these 1,071 were added during the day—of these 222 recovered, 576 died ;on the Bth there were 3,790 sick, 853 were attacked during the day-574 died, 172 recovered. On the 9th there were 3,817 patients In the hospitals. Cape of Good Hope papers to the 18th of May state that the Boers beyond the Orange river had made com munications to the government which would lead to the inference that they were prepared to abide by the regula tions of the government considering them as calculated to insure peace and tranquillity on the frontier. The 'Port Philip papers of the 14th of March report favourably respecting the improving prospects of that settlement. Trade was better. Wheat by the latest quotations was worth 4s. 4d. to 4s. 9d. per bushel, and flour 12s. per 1001 b, Papers from Sydney contain a report of the opening of the Legislative. Council by commission on the 21st of March, when the address of the Governor was read by the Colonial Secretary. This address congratulates the colony on its continued progress; the exports in 1847 of the two leading staples, wool and tallow, having largely exceeded those of the previous year, the wool by 5,700,000, the tallow by 49,000. The Madrid Gazette announces that the Commander of the Carbineers had defeated, in the valley of Erro, the united bands of Ilzarbe and Zubiri, with the loss of nine killed and thirty wounded. Another encounter had taken place between Brigadier Eguiluz and the faction of Itur mendi, in the valley of Ega, in which seventeen of the latter were killed and many made prisoners. _ The Paris papers of Saturday contain the following tele graph despatch, received on Friday :—" The Austrians entered Ferrara on the 14th of July, to the number of 5000. They occupied the principal posts of the town, and levied a war contribution on the inhabitants. The Pope protested against the occupation, and the Chamber of De puties unanimously voted the project of a lea gue o f a ll t h e States of Italy against Austria. ' RACE BETWEEN A YACHT AND A SHIP.-Our readers are aware that a match was recently made, for £250 a side, to run Mr. Naylor's yacht, Sultana, against Mr. Ripley's iron barque Panic,. The race was to b e f rom the light-ship—round ireland—to the starting point. The yacht has won the match, having arrived in the Mersey on Friday morning at 430 a.m. The following is from the Sultana's log :—From 1 15 p.m. Saturday to noon Sun day, 125 miles • fine and calm—noon Sunday to noon Monday, 106 miles ; fine and calm--noon Monday to noon Tuesday, 107 miles; fine and calm—noon on Tuesday to noon Wednesday, 222 miles •, blowing very fresh W.S.W. —noon Wednesday to noon Thursday, 209 miles ; blow ing very fresh and heavy sea—noon Thursday to reaching ; light-ship, at 220 a.m. Friday morning, 127 m il es blowing a heavy gale from N.N.W: , and heavy sea. Total distance, 896 miles. Distance run (20th July), from Bel fart Lough, northern point, to N.W. light-ship, 127 miles, in 12 hours 46 minutes. The barque Panic did not get. sound Cape Clear in time to catch the favouring gale, and consequently has not arrived yet. The Goodwood Cup, of this year, is surmounted by a highly-finished group, representing an incident related of Richard Coeur de Lion when at Jaffa, where, as a proof of the estimation in which he was held by the Saracens, it is said that Saphadin, Saladdin's brother, sought and re ceivedlhe honour of knighthood from him. I n the com position, which is very excellently designed by M r. ca. erill, the monarch, seated on a noVe cl arger; GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Night. No doubt appeared to exist on 'Change to-day that the Irish will rise in the South of Ireland, in spite of the strong preventive measures taken by Government; and although great confidence is reposed in the foresight of those to whom the preservation of peace is entrusted, the proba bility of an unhappy contest in that country, in its pre sent excited state, has had the natural effect of depressing all speculative branches of trade. The West Indian in terest, however, suffers from another cause ; and a hitherto unobserved failing in the Government measure has within the laSt few days thrown the merchants and refiners into considerable dismay. owing, as stated in the bi-monthly circular of Messrs. T. and H. Littledale, to " the Cus toms admitting refined Sugar from the Continent at a duty of 245. Bd. per cwt. By the old bill, refined Sugar was admitted at a proportionate rate of duty, if imported from the place of growth ; but on all other a prohibition of 635. per cwt. was imposed. By the present, the prohi bition i 4 removed, and the several rates of duty are, from wherever imported, 245. Bd. per cwt. on first refined, and 275. 9d. on double. This we can only look upon as an oversight of the Government, and needs only being brought before them to be remedied ; otherwise it would be the heaviest blow at our own Colonies, particularly Jamaica, and refiners, which has yet been given —the Dutch, as we understand, receiving a drawback on their exports of 2s. 6d. per cwt." Meanwhile, the effect upon the market has been, that sugars suitable for refining purposes are selling for 2s. to 3s. less money than could be obtained a week ago. We have good reports from the manufacturing districts : the home trade is brisk ; and, as we anticipated, the export demand for goods and yarns has considerably increased, accompanied by some advance on the low prices which have so long prevailed. The greatest facilities are also offered to trade by the easy rate at which money can be procured ; and although consols have fallen a little in consequence of the Irish business, they closed on Saturday at the respectable price of 871- to 1; for the 10th of August, the last quotation was 877 to 7. The accounts from France contain no new features of much importance; an addition of £79,000 to the deposits of the public, and the absence of any material change in the present low state of the discounts, still serve to indi ' cute the continued paralysis of trade. Advices from Vienna show a steady increase of confidence ; whilst at Naples, on the 14th instant, the reaction in the funds consequent upon the news from Sicily was still going on, the Five per Cents on that day having fallen to 86. The CorroN trade, which 'was going on swimingly at the beginning of the week, has fallen off since the confir mation of the disturbed state of Ireland, and although the daily sales were large up to the close of last week, the slight advance which had been realized on the previous week's prices was lost. There has been only a small at tendance of spinners at market TO-DAY, which has re lapsed into a state of inactivity again, owing entirely to the suspense arising out, of the unsettled state of matters in Ireland. The trade in conseqence have purchased spa ringly, speculationfor the present being checked, so that the business, inclusive of 1000 for export, will not amount to more than 4,500 bales of all kinds. In prices there is no material alteration to notice, probably a fraction in favour of purchasers, as holders do not appear at all anxious to press sales beyond the demand, feeling confidence in the measures being adopted by government towards Ireland. Advices from New York, per Cambria, state that holders had consented to a decline of 7 @ 7 of a cent le- lh., gene rally * ; and that consequently there had been more business doing, both for shipment and home use. The market, however, was still dull. The receipts at all the shipping ports were 2,203,984 hales, against 1,736,712 to same dates last year--an increase this season of 467,272 bales. The total foreign export this year is 609,044 bales more than last—say, 441,929 increase to Great Britain. 73,000 increase to France, 50,819 increase to North of Europe, and 43,296 increase to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern to northern ports are 71,882 bales more this season than last; and there is a decrease in stock of . 113,250 bales. The sales quoted were 2400 bales, as follows : Upland and Mobile, N. 0., Florida. and Texas. 1400 bales. 1000 bales. Inferior Ordinary to good ord 57 5 7 e. 51 ) 57- c.

The CORN Market here is steady for every article of the. trade, without any material alteration in price since Friday. There is rather more inquiry for Indian Corn and Wheat, although we have not heard of any large extent of business done in the latter article. Imports into this port since Thursday last:—Wheat, from Ireland 110 qrs., coastwise 1220 ; Malt, coastwise 3384 qrs. ; Beans, coastwise 64 qrs., Europe 2857 ; Indian Corn, U. States 5162 qrs. • Oatmeal, coastwise 35 ids., U. States 12; Flour, Ireland 16 sacks, Canada 1864 brls., U. States 3 brls. Exports:—Wheat, coastwise 160 qrs. •, Beans, coastwise 320 qrs. ; Indian Corn, for Ireland 2630 qrs., coastwise 4 ; Indian Corn Meal, for Ireland 440 brls., coastwise 100 ; Flour, coastwise 216 sacks 344 brls.— Throughout the country Wheat is rather higher, and from 2s. to 3s. advance has been realised to-day in the London market. The Irish markets are generally firm, owing to the smallness of stocks. With regard to the Potato crop, although unfavourable reports continue to reach us from various quarters, we still decline to adopt them without much reservation. The quantity and qua lity of those brought into the market warrant us in using great caution ; and as we have seen finer and healthier specimens this season than for some years past, we will continue for the present to hope for the best.—A mer cantile letter from New York, dated 11th July, states : " The grain and grass crops all over the country have been most abundant, acrd as the shipments -of specie have ceased, a good fall import trade is not improbable." The New York Shipping and Commercial List, per Cambria, states that there had been a good demand for Western Flour for home use, and the sales had been pretty large; yet the receipts exceeded the current in quiry, and the market for the most part was quite dull, and if pressed by-holders, rather lower rates would have to be submitted to. Corn Meal was in fair request, and remained steady. Wheat had been in request for milling: the market, however, was without particular change, though rather in favour of the buyer, the demand having been pretty freely met by holders. For Corn there was an active demand, at an improvement of about one cent per bushel. The receipts down the Hudson since the opening of river navigation are as follow : _ 1848. 1847.

Both Hams and Shoulders have suffered a depreciation in value ; the latter, however, meeting with a ready sale, whilst transactions in the former are concluded with difficulty. Considerable sales of Lard have been made this week, at about last week's prices, with the exception of inferior and Grease, which have declined from 3s. to 4s.

The market for Scotch Pig IRON is extremely dull, principally on account of the unfavourable nature of the news from Ireland, which has taken away the disposition to do business.

We are certain that this branch of business will improve rapidly. Foreign Wool. has been in good request this week, and a fair extent of business has been done, in some cases at an advance of 5 per cent. on previous rates, and all kinds in demand may be said to have improved to this extent. ' Some large sales of Alpaca have been made, and although the prices have not been alllowed to transpire, they are , understood to be below the late current quotations. s Scotch there has been no business reported, and farms are said to be asking higher prices than the trade seem prepared to pay. Imports for the week ending July 22 —Foreign 4474 bales, previously 43,125, total 47,599 Scotch 333 bales, previously 7691, total 8024 bales. There is still a fair demand for both raw and thrown SILK, by our manufacturers, for the home trade; but owing to the large imports from every place where silk is produced, stocks are still heavy, and prices rule low—par ticularly on China Silk—and our quotations of the 4th instant, of Taysaams from 9a. to 10s. 6d. per lb:, and Tsatlees from 9s. 6d. to 145., have been barely supported, and all other descriptions of raw silk h ave 'suffered the Same depression.

Up to the date of the Cambria's departure from New York, Exchange on England had been in fair demand at 1091 to 110. LATEST FROM DUBLIN. THE INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT.-SUS PENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT. No outbreak has as yet taken place in Ireland ; indeed the utmost tranquillity prevails; but in that country a lull is always open to suspicions. Silence is the most dangerous element of Irish agitation. So far the appre hensions of disturbance are confined to Dublin. Orders have been given to seize all arms imported into Dublin. It is notorious that neither rifle, pistol, or any other fire arm is to be seen in the shop windows, having all been sold. The general impression is that the provinces are not yet ripe for an outbreak ; and that until the provincia clubs are more widely extended the rebels will make no hostile demonstration. In Cork, however, there was some excitement when the intelligence arrived that that city had been proclaimed. The announcement of Lord John Russell's intention to apply to parliament for additional powers to crush insur rection in Ireland, reached Dublin, by electric telegraph, early in the forenoon of Saturday, and had a thunderbolt fallen upon the city it could not have created greater dis may or terror. Full time was it to resort to the extreme measure shadowed forth in the Premier's notice of motion, and that not another instant is to be lost will be made tolerably clear by a perusal of the manifestoes—it would be childishness to call them newspaper articles—put forward in the felon journals of last Saturday. They are "open and advised" declarations of war, and nothing less. Mr. Duffy, Mr. Martin, Mr. Lalor, and Mr. Brenan, with their signatures appended to those blood-breathing documents, tell the people that the hour has conic for striking the blow; that the 40,0e0 military composing, the Irish garrison roust be slaughtered ; that they (the people) are to be stigma tized as cowards for evermore, should they neglect the present opportunity to obliterate British dominion in Ireland. All this, and even more desperate advice, is given by the accredited leaders of the movement, so that there is no choice left ; the crisis cannot be much longer averted. With such undiluted treason as flows through the columns of the Nation and Felon it is difficult to know where to begin or where to stop. Mr. Gavan Duffy, as the senior journalist, is, perhaps, entitled to preced ence ; and here is an extract from one of his appeals to arms : " Rise, then, men of Ireland, since Provi , lence so wills it. Rise in your cities and your fields, on your hills, in your valleys, by your dark mountain passes, by your rivers and lakes and ocean-washed shores ! Rise as a na , tion ! England has dissevered the bond of allegiance. Rise—not now to demand justice from a foreign kingdom, but to make Ireland an independent kingdom for ever. It is no light task God has appointed you. It is a work of trial and temptation. Oh ! be stedfast in the trial— be firm to resist the temptation. You have to combat injustice, therefore you must yourselves be just. You have to overthrow a despot [power; but you must estab lish order, not suffer anarchy. Remember it is not against individuals or parties or sects you wage war, but against a system. Down with it—down with it, even to the ground; but show mercy to the individuals who are but the instruments of that system. You look round upon the land—your own land—trodden down and trampled and insi Led, and on a persecuted and despairing people. * * * Act as if ycur soul's saNation hung on each deed — and it will, for we stand already within the shadows of eternity. For us is the combat; but not for us, perhaps, the triumph. Many a noble heart will lie cold, mans- a throbbing pulse be stilled, ere the cry of ' Victory' will arise. It is a solemn thought, that now is the hour of destiny when the fetters of seven centuries may at last be broken—and by you, men of this generation—by you, men of Ireland ! You are God's instruments ; many of you must ne freedom's martyrs. Oh ! be worthy of the name ; and as you act as men, as oatriots, and as Chris tians, so will the blessing rest upon your head when you lay it down a sacrifice for Ireland upon the red battle field." His letter is dated " Newgate Prison." His brother felon, John Martin, is equally intelligible. He says, " My advice is, shortly, that you stand to your arms. Stand to your arms ! * * Stand firm and yield not an inch of ground to the threat and the rage of our alarmed tyrants. Let them menace you with the hulks or the gibbet for daring to speak or write your love to Ireland. Let them [threaten to mow you down with grape shot, as they: have massacred your kindred with famine and plague. Spurn their brutal ' acts of Parliament'—trample upon their lying proclamations—fear them not 1 The work you have undertaken is to overthrow and utterly destroy English dominion in Trcland. That work must be done. It must be done at any risk, at any cost, at any sacrifice. Though hundreds of us be torn from our families, and free air, to be shut up in the enemy's dungeons or sent in chains to his felon islands—though thousands of us be butchered by the enemy's cannon and bayonets, cur streets and nati v e fields be purpled with our blood—never shall the struggle for Irish freedom cease but with the destruction of that monstrous system of base and murderous tyranny, or with the utter exter mination of the Irish people. Oh, dear countrymen ! let not your hearts quail at the sight of the enemy's pre parations—of 40,000 human machines arranged with their weapon's of death to butcher you on your own land for the crime of loving your own land. Stand to your arms resist to the death ! Better a hundred thousand bloody deaths than to leave Ireland another year .disarmed, cowed, and defenceless to the mercy of that fiendish des potism." Mr. J. F. Laic)'r calculates that " there are 40,000 sol diers in Ireland, and the question is, how best and soonest to kill and capture these 40,000 men ?" He would take the time " when the full harvest of Ireland shall be stacked in the haggards. Wherefore, let us fight in September, if we may—but sooner, if we must. Who thaws first blood for Ireland ? Who wins a wreath that will be green for ever ?" Another letter is from the pen of a man who, at meet ing held on Saturday week, proposed a resolution to the effect that the outbreak should bo commenced that week, but -the motion was lost by a majority of one only. Although the meeting in question was limited to twenty one persons, each holding a responsible situation in the rebel counsels, the government was in full possession of their " secret" intentions on the following day. This man says that if the clubs shrink, " the slaves' portion will be theirs. Let the coffin-maker's heart be merry, for his trade will shine. Will not the land be rich and produce great harvests for luxury when the bones of the poor manure it ? These things will be if you strike not. Now, then, or never! Now, and for ever! I think we had better front our fate at once, and be free in death, if we cannot live in freedom." The greatest excitement prevails throughout the district extending from Carrick-on-hub., in the county of Water ford, to Clonmel, in the South Riding of Tipperary. The club organisation all along is quite complete ; and after the metropolis, this is the only quarter in which immedi ate danger is apprehended. Mr. Meagher has arrived in Dublin from Waterford. It is said Mr. Smith O'Brien has taken wing and retreated to Wexford. It is said that four regiments will be encamped in Phoe nix Park. Already the troops are daily exercised in pitch ing and striking tents &c. The severest scrutiny is exercised in granting licenses for arms. No license is to be granted to any person to hold any large quantity of arms, or who has not a legiti mate use for them, and in no case are licenses to be granted to young men to keep arms who merely want them for amusement. Hyland. the Dublin pike maker, has put out his fire and transferred his anvil and other apparatus to a southern county, free from the incumbrance of a Government proclamation. BIRMINGHAM MANUFACTURE AT COURT.—A magni ficent chimney-piece, grate, and fender, en suite, of an entirely new mcde of manufacture, made for his Highness Abbas Pacha, were submitted to Her Majesty and Prince Albert, on Saturday, at Buckingham Palace, by Mr. H. Room, of Birmingham. THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT.—We have so long enjoyed peace, subordination, and security in this happy island, that young, or even middle-aged men, do not remember the day when the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended within the realm of England. But the student of consti tutional history and the well-informed lawyer are both aware that such suspension has taken place more than half a-dozen times within a century, and generally, if not always, with the happiest effects, and with no destruction or permanent diminution of public liberty in England. Even within the present century, the 31 Charles H. has been twice placed in abeyance, and were John Horne Tooke, or his pupil, the late Sir Francis Burdett, or John Gale Jones, to rise individually and collectively from the tomb, each must admit that such suspension —far from inflicting a wound on public liberty—only tended to pre. serve and foster that greatest blessing. ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO BLOW OP A HOUSE AT SHEF FIELD.—On Friday, Mrs. Marples, the wife of a joiner's tool maker, in Hermitage-street, Sheffield, 'was aroused from her slumbers by a loud explosion, accompanied with the smashing of window glass. Slie immediately jumped out of bed, and took her children up, when she saw a flame shoot through the aperture in the window shutters. Having alarmed her brother, who was ,sleeping in an adjoining room, they went to the front and shouted " murder ! The night watchman immediately repaired to the place, when he found three men running away. He .chased them, and, having laid hold of one, the other two came up, knocked the watchman down, and rescued his prisoner. Upon getting in frontof the premises three - ginger beer bottles, charged with powder, were found lying on the ground, and about two pounds of strong blasting powder. The glass in the window was broken, and it was quite apparent that only bottle had ex ploded, and that had fortunately nefarfejt the; bed ! . room, on account of the window-shunexerrye.g,Ta4lal4 closed.
