A reward of 3001. has been offered by the govern-

Since the receipt of the above telegraphic despatch,
the following letter from our correspondent has come
to hand:

From the information I have received, I behave it
not unlikely Mr. Meagher may be made amenable

aseured, more than a day or two.
The following proclamation, offering a reward for

T. N REDINOTON.

We have some more particulars of the arrest of Mr.
Smith O'Brien to-day. It seems his motive for placing
himself in the way of an arrest, was, as he intimates
himself in a letter to Mrs. O'Brien. the fear and hesi-
tation manifested by the peaple to harbour him. No
doubt, though he does not avow it, he con-
cluded that that fear and hesitation might be-
come dangerous when operated upon by the hope of
gain. The houses of several of his friends were
searched by the police; amongst others, the of his
brothers' residence, at Gromoland ; the seat of
Mr. Godley, on the borders of Cavan and Leitrim,
who is connected by marriage with Mr. O'Brien's
family ; and the resid, nee of his brother, the Rev.
Mr. O'Brien, a clergyman of the diocese of Kilmore
in Cavan.

A gentleman who visited Kilmainham to-day, in-
formed me he saw Mr. Smith O'Brien in that prison,
hut had no communication with him. His room is in
the debtor's side of the prison, at the extremity of a
corridor, having at the entrance of the passage
an armed policeman, and at the door on the
outside au armed soldier, with fixed bayonet.
Soon after my informant er4ered the prison, Mr.
O'Brien passed along the corridor, proceeding to
the prison-yard. his appearance manifests no symp-
tom of recent trouble or privation. Having reached
the yard, he proceeded to exercise him-elf, by flinging
a ball from one extremity, a gaol-guard catching i
and flinging it back again. Thus Mr. O'Brien passes
time in his prison-home.
It is a significant circumstance that, not alone was
there no excitement in Limerick on the news of Mr.
O'Brien's arrest reaching them, hut not even in Rath-
kealc—at his own door, I may say—was any excite-
ment manifested.

Mr. Meagher is, it is said, on the Keeper Moon-
tains, and Mr. DL:heny at the Slate Quarries. Mr.
O'Gorman is still reported to be in the neighbourhood
of Abbeyfeale. Mr. Dillon's whereabouts is not
indicated. The accounts from the South by the after-
noon train to-day report all quiet—no armee,
but the utmost vigilance exercised by the police.
Hogben, the constable seized at Abbeyfeale, on sus-
picion of possessing a warrant against Mr. O'Gor-
man, was, it appears, actually carried off from the
public street of that town. Ile was stripped and left
in a bog,but his property has been restored. So much
do the townsfolk sympathise with the insurgents, or so
much afraid are they, that not a single article of
food would be cold to the police, and they are obliged
to go into the grocers and provision shops, weigh and
carry off what they require, leaving the money.
Th ire are in the town two companies of the BSth, and
200 eon -tabulary. A guard of the latter daily accom-
panies the coach to and from Tralee to Limerick.
Several of the highwaymen have been arrested.
Two American sympathisers, named Langtry and
Egan, both of Irish birth, have been arrested in the
King's County. Mr. C. R. Malowny, news-room proprie-
tor, and a member of the clubs, who has been "on the
the run " some days, appeared publicly to-day, and
was taken into custody. Upwards of 50 persons
have been arrested in and around Callan, in the
vicinity of the Tipperary colleries,"without any attempt
at rescue or disturbance. Among them was Feehan,
the well-known Tipperary pike-maker.
The Very Rev. Dr. Blake, who was threatened by
the disaffected for his advice to the people on last
Monday, was more strong than ever. His exhorta-
tions and Smith O'Bri. n's arrest have given the coup
de grace to the clubs in that quarter.
Mr. H. J. Loughman, a late candidate for Kil-
kenny, has been refused a gun license. A tradesman
at Dungannon, who was president of a club, having
been refused a licence to carry arms, went and pur-
chased a game licence of the excise, and, coming back,
exhibited it in court, demanding if the magis-
trates could take that back ? " No," replied Mr. Sin-
gleton, the resident magistrate; " but it the govern-
ment had acted on my report, you would be now
in prison, instead of having arms in our despite."
The rebuke told.
The magistracy in Limerick have prohibited all
sale of powder, and have taken the stock into charge
of the authoritit a.
The two men executed for the conspiracy to murder
Major Mahon hive acknowledged the justice of their
sentence. Such cont., ssions we very seldom hear—
allegations of innocence are more frequent.
