IRELAND.

MALIN, 411.1. Y 10.

A gentleman of considerable reputation, the Rev.
Mr. Archer Butler, Professor of Moral Philosophy in
our university, has died of typhus fever. Ile was a
man of great literary attainments, and distinguished
as a writer, lecturer, and pulpit orator. He was only
in his 34th year.
The slight excitement consequent on the arrests has
subsided. In the vicinity of Nesegate todayp there
were a few loiterers ; and several of Mr. Duffv's
friends presented themselves for' admittance, which
was granted on to one o'clock in the afterr.oon. The
time would have been extended, on a special order of
the inspector of prison, to three o'clock, " on business
only." Mr. Duffy has notified that the period for visits
should not extend beyond the latter hour, inasmuch
as he had scricokbusiness" to occupy his evenings.
The seizure of all copies of the Irish Felon, by
order of the police commissioners, has led to some
slight disputes with the police. An ardi nt confede-
rate to-day purchased a copy of the " second edition"
vf the Felon, which was seized by the authorities eo
instanti. The question was referred to the police
magistrate. The discussion will be found below.
It is stated that a warrant has been sent down to
Cork for the arrest of Mr. Meagher, who attends the
sortie to Smith O'Brien this evening. Other arrests
were spoken of to-day, but nothing has taker, place up
to post hour.
According to one of the organs of the repealer.,
warrants are out for the arrest of Mr. Darer Illogic,
Mr. Joseph Bruno, Mr. James F. Lelor. Dr. Antiscl,
and others with whose names the public ere not so
familiar. The statement gains credence from the fact
of the papers and manuscripts of the three yroscribed
journals which were seize I by the police on Saturday
being now in possession of the government, whence
they could, with identification, be produced as evi-
dence against the several writers when put upon
trial. The commission of oyer and termir.er stands
I adjourned till the Bth of August, so that the prisoners
already in custody will have ample time to prepare
their defence. The Chief Baron aud Baron Richards
are to be the presiding judges at the next commission.
Rumours of an immediate special commission are
in circulation, but it is not probable the government
will travel out of the ordinary course, in consequence
of the near approach of the ordinary commission.
The " Irish League" holds its first meeting at 7
o'clock to-morrow evening, at the Mosic-hall, in con-
sequence of which the general gathering of the clubs,
fixed for this night, has been postponed until further
notice.
At a recent gathering of one of the Cork clubs the
health of "Madame Blanc," whoever that lady be, was
toasted with acclamation, bemuse she had cut off the
heads of five of the Mobile Guard !
