A DEPOT OF FIRE-ARMS IN CARLOW.

On yesterday (says the Carlow Sentinel) a large van
arrived in this town, containing several hundred stand
of arms, to he disposed of openly by sale in Dublin-
street and every fair and market. The owner has had a
brisk and extensive sale in this county on a former occa-
sion, but at this moment the opening of a mart for the
wholesale disposal of fire-arms is a circumstance that
cannot fail to create apprehension in the public mind.
We warn the Government of the consequences of per-
mitting the establishment of such depots in this county
at the present crisis ; and we trust the local magistracy
will, without a moment's delay, demand instructions
from the Executive bow to act in this emergency. It'
the. Government decline to interfere, then let it be respon-
sible for the result. When certain counties in Ireland
are proclaimed all but in open rebellion, it would amount
to a positive connivance at insurrection to allow the
peasantry to arm themselves at these depots with pikes
and rifles.

NENA G 11.
(From the Guardian.)
Rumour is already busy in this neighbourhood. We
have learned that upwards of 6,000 club men, of course
armed, are to march inio Nenagh on the 2d of August,
to watch the trial of ➢lr. Doheny, for the purpose, we
presume, of intimidating the jurors, or, it' not success-
ful in so doing, to break open the county gaol, if he be
found guilty. This would be sheer madness, inasmuch
as the military force in our town, although small in
comparison with such numbers, would be sufficient
(although not txceeding 400 men) to drive them into
the Shannon. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary that
the Government should be forced to act promptly, and
coerced into the suppression of these clubs, for the
orderly and peaceably should not be left to such a con-
tingency as the mercy of an armed band of lawless
butchering rebels.

" TO THE PEOPLE OF WATERFORD.
"Fellow Citizens—The English Government havo this
day issued a proclamation declaring you disqualified to
bear arms—declaring, therefore, that you have forfeited
the first privilege of free citizens. This is another act
of despotism—threatening the liberties of the country—
testing the patience and the heroism of the people. It
is done to surprise--to alarm—to intimidate. It shall
not do so. It has come too late. You know your
duties well, and you will have the virtue to fulfil
them. In Limerick, in Carrick, in Tipparary, the
Arms Act has been in force for many months
—and in those districts it has neither dismayed the spi-
rit nor checked the organization of the people. Imitate
the example of these gallant men. Be firm, be steady—
organiztl calmly, speedily, and fearlessly. The men in
whom you now confide, and to whose ability and courage
you look for guidance and success, will not fail to give
you that advice which the perils of the day demand.
" I am, fellow-citizens,
" Your faithful and devoted servant,
" THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER.
" God save the people.
" Redmond, Printer."

Friday, July 21.

* . * The potato disease has broken
out in this neighbourhood with awful. virulence. I have
just returned from an inspection of several farms, and
the sight I witnessed was most distressing. Last Wed-
nesday there was not a sign of failure. Yesterday, the
stalks were drdniping, as if from the rain—to-day, all is
rottenness. The ash-leaf kidney, which escaped so well
on former occasions, appears now worse than any other.
Great alarm prevails among the poor farmers who have
planted large quantities of potatoes.
From Kerry, Mayo, Cork, Waterford, and tho Mid-
land Counties, the reports are. equally distressing. 'I he
northern counties do not complain much, but enough
appears to warrant the apprehension that the disease
has commenced in the province of Ulster.

League.
Although all laymen regard the League as nothing more
nor less than the Irish Confederation under a new name,
Dr. Maginn and his 90 priests have resolved, among
other opinions, the following:—
" 1. Having maturely considered the proposed terms
for a reunion of all sections of Repealers, to be hence-
forth called Tho Irish League,' it affords us the sin-
cerest gratification to find that they are such as we can,
without any dereliction of our peace principles, conscien-
tiously approve; and, notwithstanding what has been
said to the contrary, we have full confidence in the
honesty of purpose and patriotism of the parties to these
terms of reunion—that both their letter and spirit will
be undeviatingly adhered to in the League, so as to work
out Ireland's legislative independence by the concentra-
tion of public opinion, and means purely legitimate and
Christian."
