IRELAND.

The following was received this morning by Elec-
tric Telegraph Company's Express, and published in
all the London papers, but from what appears in
our iacond edition, there is reason to hope that the
accounts are exaggerated, if not altogether untrue.

DUBLIN WPDMB,DAY.

Tr.e whole of the south of Ireland 4in rebellion. A
special engine has jtut arrived in Dublin, from 4 miles
this tide of Thorley; (eighty-two miles in two hours).
The station at Thurles is on fire ; the rails for
several miles torn up; and, as the engines arrive, the
mob intend detaining them.
At Clonmel the fighting is dreadful; the peopls
arrived in masses; the Dublin Club leaders are there;
the troops were speedily overpowered. The military
at Carrick have been driven back, and their quarters
fired.

At Kilkenny the contest is proceeding, and there
the mob are also said to be successful.
No news from NVaterford or Cork.

We understand that government have not received
any later accounts from Dublin than those above
given, but measures have been taken for the
immediate dispatch of large reinforcements of troops
to Ireland. Any further intelligence that may come
to hand will appear in subsequent editions.

DUBLIN, JCLY 2i.
A diabolical attempt to assassinate a policeman
was made at two o'clock last night by three
clubbists, and there is too much reason for
apprehending that their victim will not sur-
vive his wound many hours. It appears that
as Constable John Byrne was on duty in South
Great George's-street, about two o'clock, he met three
young men, one of whom had a pistol in his hand,
which he waved across the fact of the constable,
who asked him to give up the weapon, or show
him his license for carrying it. He refused, and a
scuffle ensued, in which the policeman succeeded in
wresting the weapon from the young man, who
suddenly turned round and plunged a dagger
into his groin. The constable at once knocked the
fellow down, and then fainted from loss of blood.
The fellow who actually inflicted the wound is
Michael Moran, and the other two are John Joseph
Moran and John M'Cormiek ; all are in custody.

WATERFORD, TUESDAY, s r.w.
The rumour in circulation, that the Confederate
leaders had left Carrick last night, at the head of a
large armed force, is not generally credited,
while some say that tt e inflammatory speeches
addressed to the populace by Messrs. O'Brien
and Meagher failed to elicit that forward spirit neon
which the leaders so confidently reckoned. Iwo
orderlies have just ridden in from the county Kil-
kenny side, and in consequence of the communica-
tions which hive reached Sir C. O'Donnell, 100 men
landed from an armed steamer, have crossed over
the bridge and marched along the Carrick road. There
is some idea of raising a force among the citizens, if
only to prevent plunder, but I suspect it is only talk,
for, though many Roman Catl plies would join, there is
no one of sufficient energy and station to embody and
give effect to the scattered sentiments of hundreds.
It is now said that Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher, Dillon,
O'Gorman, and Lane, are beyond Carrick-on-Suir,
in the county of Tipperary, surrounded by the
armed peasantry, determined to sell their liberty
dearly. The greatest alarm prevails here amongst
the peaceable pertion of the people.

SCOTLAND.

IMPORTANT FROM EDDTBURGII.

(By the Electric Telopaph Company's Express.)

EDINBURGH, WEDNESDIY. This afternoon Mr.
Henry Rankine, Mr. ArchibOd Walker, and James
Cumming, with some oilers, were arrested on
charges of a general character, comprising attendance
at iilegal meetings, and addresses deliver( don those
occasions of an exciting description. The houses of
those individuals have been starched, and documents
of a very suspicious character have been seized and
carried away.
An examination of the prisoners took place, but it
was of a strictly private character. Alter the exa-
mination, Messrs. Itankine, Cumming and Walker,
were committed to gaol, and some of the other parties
arrested likrated upon bail. A great demonstration
of s3mpathy with the offendcis is talked of by the
chartists.
