the warp which ran from the boat to the Britannia. Those
on board th. Glenelg called to the boat's crew to clip their

IRELAND.
Dense, Jett' 21
A warrant was issued last night for the apprehen.
sion, on a charge of felony, of Mr. W. Smith O'Brien.
The hon. gentleman, as reported yesterday, suddenly
left town for Wexford. It was rumoured that war-
rants were out agsfist Mr. Meagher and Mr. Darcy
Magee ; but such is not the fact.
Mr. Butt, Q.C., who addressed the juries on behalf
of Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr. Meagher, in the recent
state trials, has been retained for the defence of Mr.
Duffy, at the approaching commission.
A proclamation has been issued, placing the city
and county of Kilkenny, and the remaining portions
of the counties of Cork and Waterford, under t'..e
Crime Repression Act, as mentioned by us yesterday.
The suspension of the Habeas Corpushas had a sedative
effect on the fermenting spirit of the clubs. They are
withdrawing very seosibly from the old manifesta-
tions of violence, and 1 should not be at all surprised
if ninety per cent. of the "kingly and queerly
weapons" were surrendered without a murmur.
I understand the club-men have received
distributive shores of the funds of their benefit socie-
ties, thus anticipating the day of sickness or distress,
when such a fund was most necessary. I also learn
that the general trades fund, composed of contribu-
tions front all the trades in Dublin, is to be allocated
among the original contributors. This, at least,
strikes at the root of combination, and pro tanto will
prove a social gain.
Another seditious journal is advertised, under the
suggestive and appropriate title of the Ncicuate
enkndor. Its advent is announced thus :
Ovum ash Ahvuseu FEW:etc.—Oa Thursday next, and
on every future M inlay and Thursday, will be published
the Norgate Calendar, eucc.'ssor to the Irish Tribune, a
political, military, and felonious jnurnal, edited by It. D.
Williams arid Kevin I. O'Doherty, at present prisoners in
Newgate Gaol, price 2d. The object of this journal is to
teach the Irish people the ways and means of their deliver-
ance, and the tees and results of freedarr. when won. That
it may do this effectively, a third of the journal
will Ir occupied with mili:ary information furnished by
the ablest authorities, under the heads of City
Fighting,' Guerilla War,' • Military Engineering,'
and ' Munitions of War.' All the requisite knowledge
will be carefully arranged, and the war dt pinch. nt or the
United Irishman, and the • I'ractical Instructor,' and Easy
Lessons on Military Matters' of the Nation, reprinted. With
the Name object the journal will be published in a convenient
pocket shape, at the convenient pocket price of 21, and to
facilitate its work it will be pubLsheil twice a week, the
opinion of the edi.ors on an Irish revolution being, that if
''twere done, when 'tis done, 'twere well 'twere done
quickly.' Several approved felons have promised their a‘-
sistance, end the editors Lave to ancoun.t that articles will
appear in early numbers frain C. O. Duffy, John Martin,
T. D. Reilly, T. D. fil•Ghee, M Itl•Derount, M. Doheily,
Jose Brennan, Stephen J. Meany, J.an.s F. Lalor, awl a
host of competent felonious cantributo:s.—Office, ll,Trinity-
street."
The Ithadamanthus landed her freight of police at
Waterford on Wednesday ; and on Friday the Duchess
of Kent steamed 400 of the 3rd Buffs.
The 11'am:ford Chronicle, with a " very " strong
tendency to exaggeration, states that a Quaker
gentleman "in an adjacent town"—of course C 10..-
mel—supplied " bits of iron and wood" to all
applicants, out of which 2,000 pikes were manufac-
tured! The same authority adds that " there are no
less than 4,000 armed meh ready to take the field with
arms, well calculated to turn the tables; and, what's
better, without drilling." If this be the whole
disposable force of Waterford, it is slight indeed com-
pared with the work. The Carrick clubs alone were
said to count 2,000 stalwart men out of a total
popnlat!on of 9,000! A correspondent from Cork
writes :
I believe that if things should be pushed to a crisis it will
be found that the number of those who ar prepared to join
in a physical struggle is very few. There are many led away
by the excitement of hurraing and oaradiug, and fine quak-
ing, who are as ignorant of the matters in complaint as they
are of Greek and Hebrew ; and beyond the hurraing, arid
paraning, and line peaking, these would nut move a joint.
It seems to me that iu Ireland " the peril'' is greatly over-
rated.

QUICK JUSTICE.—A cow collector of Westmeath was
