LATEST FROM IRELAND.

there had been no outbreak or collision in the neigh-
bourhood.
The search for arms was being prosecuted with
vigour. The Cork Southern Reporter of Tuesday
afternoon says :
At an early hour this morning several large bodies of po-
lice, under the command of sub inspectors, traversed the
various distric's of the city in search of arms, but we believe
met with but little success in their search. To aid those
already in the city, seventy additional constables were brought
in bat night in a special car of Mr. Bianconi's and several
jingles hired for the occasion; and, for the purpose of making
the array more imposing, 16 gun boats, in two divisions,
each divbion towed by a steamer, came up the river this
morning at seven o'clock, and,one division having proceeded
up the North Channel, as far as Patrick's-bridge, and the
other up the South Channel, to Aniclesea-bridge, both re-
turned and anchored off the Custom-house. Six out of the
sixteen boats cirry 12-lb. carronades at their bows, and there
are in each from 20 to 25 men, all of whom are armed with
cutlasses and pistols. There are from 50 to fio marines in
each of the reamers. On the whole the preparations of the
authorities have a very formidable appearance In the course
of the search the gun-smiths' ehopn were vi-ited, as well as
the stores of the retailers bf gunpowder, and a body of police
was left in charge of each of their stocks. The residences of
many of respectable persons were visited, but of course no
arms were found. In the acwthtrn pkrt of the city some old
rusty guns and pistols were freely given up by their
sore, but the number obtained was comparatively smartehe
pawn-, tfices were minutely ',arched—a large crowd was
, assembled, but no unpleasant circumstances occurred nor

pr6ouers made.
A passage, by the Sabrina informs me that, to his
knowl, dge, a quantity of arms, both tire-arms and
I pikes, which had been ordered from Birmingham and
Sheffield, and received in Ireland, have been returned
from the parties to whom they were consigned, un-
opened.
A rumour was prevalent in Cork, on Monday, that
Mr. R. O'Gormon, jun., was shot in a coiision with
the authorities at Turbert ; but it has been ascertained
to have had its origin in tie sui&de of a gentleman,
of kindred name, which took place on Saturday last.
In consequence of an application from the authori-
ties a large force has been stationed at tho Cork cus-
tom-house, and preparations are being made for the
purpose of strongly fortifying that building.
'I he Channel fleet has been placed under the im-
mediate command of Admiral Mackay, for set vice on
the coast of Ireland only. A wsr steamer is
to be moored off Monketown, and another off
Passage West, and a naval officer is t' be stationed
in Blackreck Castle, and another in the neighbourhood

able to keep up a correspondence between the military

This match was resumed and brought !o a conclusion yes.
terday at Lord's, in the presence of a Nast assemblage of
spectators. Ole result of this contest hss been the cause of
large sums of money changing hands, for, although the gen-
tieing n were on the first day disposed of for 31 runs, stilt in
the end they Lave been proclaimed the victors by a majority
of 27 rune. To the efforts of Mr. A. Myna this result may
be mainly attributed, for. whilst in the second innings he
obtained 66 runs, he we, instrumental in the demolishment
of eight wickets. The pressur.. upon our columns prevents
