DIAILTN, AtOUST 17.
The verdict in the case of Mr. Martin, which I
despatched by special steamer last night, took the
sympathisers by surprise, although, from the consti-
taon of the jury, their known firmness and integrity
of character, there was (one would imagine) little
round for hope of disagreement. It has saved
so iety here, however, much uneasiness, and the
authorities much difficulty. It has, too, not improba-
bly, saved trial by jury to this country, and avoided
the military tribunals, which are remembered here
with terror since '9B.
It seems that Mr. Martin's immediate friends are
determined not to take the matter peacefully.
Scarcely had the verdier been recorded last night
when Mr. James Martin, brother to the prisoner,
entered the shop of the foreman (Mr. Waterhouse,
jeweller), in Doine.street, and defied that gentleman
to mortal combat. Mr. W. is a person of great
firmness and courage, though not more than
twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, and
immediattiy grappled with Mr. Martin, and, a
polionnan being at hand, gave him into custody,
and he was conveyed to the station-1 once. lie will
be examined to-dly.
Mr. John M. Burke, who seid he was of Fort Wil-
liam, Scotland, was arrested yesterday; and four
pers,ns already in custody,,R. F. Ryan (American),
Eugene Martin, J.anes Lawlor, and 'Timothy Sexton
were fully committed for treasonable practices.
It appears that, though a Mr. Harnett is in custody
in Limerick, on a charge of treason, he is not the per-
son of that name who is said to have taken part in the
attack on the mails at Abbe) tale, and in the capture
of Censtabl.. Ilogben. This person is still at large.
The Mr. Ramat in custody is proprietor of a
very ponsidernb!e woollen eatabli,hment at Newcastle,
in the county Limerick, and nu the route to ferry.He was preaid. nt of the Felon Club of New Castle,
and it is said evidruce exists of his having been in
correspondence with the rebel leaders within the last
fottuigh*. ,
Mr. Richard Dalton has been arrested for the
delivery of a treasonable speech at Galvally, county
Limerick. He is a shop-keeper, in Tipperary, and
wealthy.
Two persons, giving their names as Terence Smith,
or Brady, and John Doherty, have been arrested for
circulating seditious pamphlets in Clair.
A person has been arrested in Mayo, supposed to
be from America, and lodged in prison there, but ho
refuses to give his name.
The police continue still their searches after Mr.
O'Gorman, a convincing proof of the persuasion of
the authorities that he has not escaped. Many per-
MOOR in Dublin !Alyce he has.
Mr. Francis Morgan, our late corporation solicitor,
Lae escaped to France. Mr. Doheny's successor in
• the treasurership of Cashel corporation has been
, appointed.
Mr. M'Cleeihon, late editor of the Limerick
&porter, has bee. arrested on suspicion.
So great has been the fall of rain at Tralee, that
the streets have been flooded since Monday last, the
river having oil rflowed its banks above the town.
The comity e f Cork has bee n the scene of a brutal
murder. A poor man, named Leahy, was beaten to
