DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENIU.
The city remains perfectly tranquil, and e,y
possible precaution has been taken by the authorities.
No immediate disturbance is apprehended.
It is rumoured that Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr.
Meagher will be at the Royal Agricultural Show to
be held at Kilkenny to-morrow.
The Privy Council, summoned at four o'clock this
afternoon, did not sit, as the Royal assent to the
suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act bad not arrived.
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN CLONMEL.
JULY 23.—The town has been thrown into a state
of great excitement by the news of this morning,
announcing Lord John Russell's intended motion on,
and the suspension of, the Habeas Corpus Act. We
are informed that a meeting of the Mitchel Club has
been suddenly called, to obviate which the Rev. Mr.
Henneberry called on the people from the altar at
the last mass to avoid all gatherings, and to go
straight home on leaving church.

(From the Dublin Evening Post.)
WA.TERFORD, JULY 24.—The arrival of addi-
tional troops, and other precautionary measures
adopted by the Government in this locality, had a
good effect, giving confidence to the well-affected
and deciding waverers. The panic is not so great :
several families, however, are leaving for England
and Wales.
THE STATE PRISONERS.
We understand that the superintendents have given
orders that the State prisoners be not henceforward
permitted-fii publish in their own journal, or in any
others, articles dated from Newgate, with their names
or signatures attached.

POLITICAL EXCITEMENT AT
LIVERPOOL. Yfr
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY AYTERNOON.—from the great
preparations which are going forward on the part of the
Mayor and magistrates of Liverpool, it is evident that
they labour under the apprehension of an outbreak,
should the " Confederate Clubs" dare to resist the tre-
mendous powers with which the Lord-Lieutenant of Ire-
land has just been armed. Accordingly, special con-
stables continue to be sworn in; but as the inhabitants
have but little taste for facing pikes, great numbers of
extra police are being appointed. Plenty of recruits for
this business are coming forward, and they display the
most laudable zeal for "preserving the peace."
The military, of whom there are now upwards of
2,000 in Liverpool, are about to encamp at Everton, so
that they can command the town from that eminence.
The police are not only drilled to the use of the sword,
but they have had muskets placed in their hands, and
although they are not by any means as crack shots as
Kentucky men, still report speaks very favourably of
their progress in the manual and platoon exercise.
Several arrests have taken place of persons carrying
pikes.
Two privates of the 89th were arrested last night for
shouting for repeal in the streets. They were lodged in
Bridetvoll.
A portion of the 89th sail for Ireland this afternoon.

MEETING OF THE CONFEDERATE CLUBS
IN MANCHESTER.
TUESAY EVENING.—The members of the several Con-
federate clubs met to-night in their respective club-
rooms, and proceeded thence, about nine o'clock, in
military order, to a large space of vacant ground adjoin-
ing the now Roman Catholic chapel on the Cheetham-
hill road.
The number present was very great. No speech was
delivered, but three cheers were given for " the cause,"
immediately after which the assembly dispersed.
The intention of holding the meeting having become
known to trio authorities, steps were taken to prevent
any disorder.

REPEAL SYMPATHY IN BIRMINGHAM.
BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—Last night the inhabitants
of the Bull Ring were touch surprised by the sudden and
unexpected appearance of a number of Chartists and
Repealera, who had marched in procession from a meet-
ing in the People's Hall, Loveday-street. The meeting
was not called by any public announcement or demon-
stration, and would seem to have been the result of sizmo
secret organization. The numbers have been estimated
by some at 2,000 ; others say less ; but, from all we can
learn, there were at least 800 men present. On arrivin
at the Bull Ring, they commenced groaning and cheo/Ir
ing; and before leaving, an announcement was made of
another meeting.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday, the 24th, the House was occupied
with a somewhat novel discussion on the subjpct of mili-
tary dress. This has beea supposed to be the province
of kings and tailors, and has not ordinarily been brought
before the popular branch of the Government. lam not
sure whether the result now was to effect any great ap-
proach towards sound principles. If a uniform is useful
for an gay, officers ought to wear it as well as soldiers,
though-reris-.7ay be of finer materials, and bear the marks
of their rank. If soldiers are to wear red, officers ought
not to wear blue. If officers ought to wear blue, soldiers
should wear it also. The great mistake is in believing
that offics are not made for service in the field, but to
fill up ballrooms. This, and a desire to put money into
the gpckets of lace-makers and army tailors, make the
source of any difficulty that exists.
On Tuesday the House met at twelve, and among
other things the Poor-law Union Charges Bill (No. 2)
was read a second time. lam informed your clause on
providing for the emigration of irremoveablo paupers is
to be treated in Committee.
On the same evening came on the motion of the
Member for Southwark (Sir W. Moleaworth) on the
Colonial Expenditure. Thert can be no doubt of its
being very salutary to a Gc,kornment to be met occa-
sionally by a motion of this kind. It cannot fail to
convince them of some points en which it is ex-
pedient to increase seal, and some where it is
necessary to abandon cherished errors. But
viewing the whole in the light of an attack,
the Government maintained the best position of the two.
Among other things the assault was let down, by a ,
per-
petual appeal to the hateful claim of " the Anglo-Saxon."
When the Irish leader, under circumstances of irritation,
threw about him the " Saxon" as a term of reproach, ho
was excused on the ground of temptation. But there is
no excuse for in cool blood and without temptation,
throwing about a phrase which is a declaration of war
against the Scotch, the Irish, the Welsh, the Canadian,
and every man who does not happen to be of the bloodw_
and family of the speaker. In common life a man will
not get forward who interlards his conversation with

made an -
able reply. He dwelt powerfully on the efforts
wade by the Government for the defence and advance-
ment of the native races in all the dominions of the
CroWn; a principle opposed to the inclination of the
"Anglo-Saxon" party, which is to substitute themselves
for everybody else, as the Hanoverian rat is said to have
done with the ancient British one. If there had been a
division, I must certainly have voted with the Govern-
ment; for it is impossible to vote with men who talk
about the Anglo-Saxon. But this was in due season
prevented by the House being counted out.

Revised anti corrected throughout from the Personal Communications

" For the amazing quantity of personal and family history, admi-
rable arrangement of details, and accuracy of information, this ge-
nealogical and heraldic dictionary is without a rival. At this time,
when it has reached a tenth edition, it would be superfluous to say
more in its praise ; the stamp of public approbation has already been
fixed upon it, and It is now the standard and acknowledged book of
reference upon all questions touching pedigree and direct or colla-
teral affinity with the titled aristocracy of the land. The present
edition is enlarged and amended, an contains lists of the Orders of
Knighthood, of Daughters of Peers married to Commoners, and in-
deed of all the other conceivable matter calculated to render the
book a complete repertory of aristocratic lore."—Morning Post.
