FURTHER ARRESTS.-SUPPOSED RETREAT
OF THE INSURGENT LEADERS.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY,
The accounts by the trains arrived this afternovi'l
report the state of the South to be perfectly tranquil.
Twenty men, arrested in the county of Tipperary for
having taken part in the recent attack upon the police
at Boniagh, reached Dublin this morning. According
to general b lief Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Doheny, and
Meagher are in the Keeper or Kepper moun-
tain. The three leaders are reported to hare been
together yesterday, in uniform, well armed, and
calling upon the country people for support. A force
consisting of 1,100 of the constabulary proceeded this
morning in pursuit of the rebel fugitives. Bodies of
the police were to move, in the course of last night,
from various points, so as to form a cordon round the
mountain, and the search would commence at day-
light. The result of this movement is anxiously ex-'
pected.
Messrs. S. T. Meaney and P. Brennan, both of the
Tribune, were examined to-day, and, together with
four clubbista, committed to Newgate. Many more
arrests are contemplated.
Mr. Denny Lane, a barrister, president of the Cork
' clubs, and the most prominent member of the con-
federation in that city was arrested yesterday by a
single \)oliceman, "and walked quietly to prison."
Mr. Mu lan, a member of the town council, was also
a. rested, and walked off with a policeman, ;" with-
out telling any person in his Ebtablikiment." Besides
these gentlemen, Mr. Michael Joseph Bacr7, a bar-
rister, and Messrs. Isaac and Ralph Varian, have
been arrested, the two latter for high treason. The
whole proceeding appears to have caused not the
slightest possible excitement in Cork, where it took
place. In fact, accounts from all the southern dis-
tricts agree in reporting that everything is quiet.
The Cork papers Bay there was an op.nion current,
that the prisoners would be 'nut without delay to
Fort George, in Scotland.
At Roscrea, county of Tipperary, four more leading
Confederates have been arrested under the Habeas
Corpus Suspension Act.
A Dublin journal of yesterday, under the head
" Authentic and Important," says : " Government has
received information of large quantities of arms and
ammunition having been shipped for the use of the
rebel army from France and America." I am much
inclined to doubt this; and the rumour, for it can be
no more, has arisen from the "order" to the customs,
of which I have already advised you. America can-
not yet have heard of our "Insurrection." Charles
Cavan Duffy and John Martin, together with several
prisoners of minor note, will be put upon their trial
at the ensuing commission, which opens on the rith
instant. It is stated that Mr. Hoban, the registered
printer of the Tribune, means to plead guilty, rtlying,
under his peculiar circumstances, upon the clemency
of the Crown.

The hue and Cry contains a full description of the
following persons, charged with treasonable prat•
tices:

William Smith O'Brien. no occupation ; Thomu Francis
Meagher, no occupation; John B. Dillon, barrister; Michael
Ildieny;harrister ; Michael Crew, shopman ; Francs Mor-
gan, .olcitor; Patrick James Smith, studying for the bar;
J ihn Hetherington Drumm, miciical student; Thonus
D'Arcy M'Ciee, connected with the Nation; Joseph Brenan,
• editor of the Felon ; Thomas Desist Redly, auh-editor of
the Felon; John Cantwell, shoproan ; Stephen J. Meaty,
outi-editor of the Irish Tribune; Richard O'Gorman, jun.,
barrister.

The Limerick Chronicle Rives the following account
of the visit of the police to Mr. Smith O'Brien's resi-
dence. and the writer expresses his belief that that
gentleman had been at Cahermoyle shortly before the
arrival of the police:
On Sunday morning, at four o'clock, Mr. Gelwey, 8.M.,
Abhes 'tale, with a party of the 88th under Major Gould,
with eighty of the constabulary under Sub.lnspector Cop-
pinger, proceeeded to Cahermoyle-house, the residence of
Mr. W. S O'Brien, key ng received information that that
gentleman had attired there the s tine evening. That the
information given was authentic, there is little doubt; but
Mr. O'Brien. being apprehensive that search would be
to tele, did not make any delay with his family, and left early
the same evening. Mr. Galwey, however, searched the
house, without meddling with any manuscript documents,
having strictly confined himself to the discharge of the duty
he was commissioned to carry out. Mrs. O'Brien and her
children were in the house when the search wan made. Ihe
troops and police, numbering 1.000, who have been sent out
for the purpose of arresting Smith O'Brien and the rebel
leaders, have received posi lye directions not to fire a shet
'aye in self-defence, or when fired on and attacked.:

TnuaLes, Auo. 3, 5 P.M.—All is tranquil about
her,. Yesterday four persons, one of whom is said to be Mr.
Dohany, gave a quantity of frieze to a country tailor, living
about eqpit miles from this town, to have made into
clothes, and—acting, I presume on that statement—a
large b'dy of police, about forty-hoe in number, with
three sub-inspectors, went off on can, at an early hour
this morning, taking the direction of Kilcominon, in
search of rule of the parties against whom warrants have
been Hosed. They are scouring the mcuntaina in that
locality, and have not yet returned. The' moving column'
of troops, under command of General M'Donald, consisting
of the 74th and 115th Regiments, and the 60th Rifles, sud-
denly brae up their encampment here yesterday, and moved
towards the colliery district, where it is said Mr. 8. O'Brien
still remains—all the rumours to the contrary notwith-
standing.
KILKENNY, THURSDAY NIGHT, NINE O'CLOCK.—
lip to this hour all is tranquil in this city and county.
T-sday the county inspector, accompanied by Mr. Wins-
low, 9 1., proceeded to the house of Dr. Cane, in ‘Yilliam
street, having received int rmation from some mischievous
party, I presume, tat Mr. Dillon was lying wounded and
concealed in oar of the apartments. The search was of course
fruitless. . . . . .

The Governnten•, in their search for arms and ammuni-
tion, have found a great deal more of both commodities than
they had anticipated. In one farmer's shed, in the neigh-
bourhood of Piltown (county Kilkenny), no leu than twenty
stand of arms were discovered, and in a small grocer's shop
in the town of Piltown 34 casks of gunpower were seized.
It is now, upon what appear to be grounds of the highest
probability, conjectured by the authorities that Mr.
Meagher has succeeded in effecting his escape from New
It .0 to Bristol, in female apparel.
CLOYMEL, AuGusr 3.—Notwithstanding the late
arri-ma and consequent excitement, this town, and, as far as
I can learn, the whole country, remain, quiet and undis-
tarbed. Mr. Francis O'Ryan, of Cashel, was taken
yesterday in Carrick.on-Suir; and I am also informed
of the armt of Mr. Richard C. Jackson, of South
Lodge, near Carrick.on-Suir, on the charge of bar-
houring Doneny. his house was searched on the
day before for the rebel chief, but without any result.
Mr. Jackson and his friends state that Doheny was not at
his residence during the last month. Two pieces of artillery
were received here yesterday. Preparations of every de-
scription are yet going on, and every pr-caution still taken,
though the probability of a serious rebellion is daily becoming
more unlikely.
NENAGII, THURSDAY MORNING•—Thin morning, at
2 o'clock, a leas leady of troops left Nenagh en route to the
Keeper Mountains, a wild and lonely range of heights about
four miles from this town. The Anglesey line of road tra.
verses the base of those mountains, verging on towards
panes which lead into the county of Limerick. It is a fact
that, only on Wednesday, Mr. Thomas F. Meagher, in
company with a man named Nl'Manus, against whom
there is a warrant, and a third party, whose name
has not been ascertained, rued near Nenagh, and were
driven up to the foot of the Keeper mountain. A messenger
was then sent by them to arouse the peasantry around to join
in the struggle, but this man found that the people were not
so ready to act as had been supposed. The intention of the
leaders is, at any risk, to avoid being taken into custody.
