THE ARMY.

Cornet Frederick Arden, 12th Royal Lancers, has
been detached from Cork garrison to Ballincollig.
Captain C. J. Longmore, Lieut. Hon. S. F. Carew,
and troop of the Bth Royal Irish Hussars, arrived on
Friday at head-quarters, Newbridge, from Thurles.
This troop was a portion of the flying column under
General APDonald. Captain Walter's troop, under
command of Lieutenants Thomkinson and G. Lock-
wood, arrived also at head-quarters on Saturday from
Kilkenny. Captain J. Thompson's troop still remains
at Kilkenny.
The following troops are now stationed in New-
bridge barracks :-Bth Royal Irish Hussars, three
troops and head-quarters; 4th Queen's own Light
Dragoons, two troops and head-quarters; 6th Ennis-
killen Dragoons, recruits and young horses ; twelve
rank and file of the 7th Dragoons; and a company of
the 71st Highland Light Infantry.
A brigade of the Royal Artillery, consisting of two
guns, with ammunition waggons, arrived in New-
bridge on Friday from Thurles.
A large body of invalids, consisting of cavalry and
infantry, doing duty at Beggar's Bush Barracks, with
the local force, for the past three months, have been
inspected by Prince George of Cambridge; with few
exceptions they have been returned to their various
corps, his Royal Highness being of opinion they were
still fit for further service.

The Bth Royal Irish Hussars expect to move
shortly for England.
The company of Royal Artillery, to replace Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Chesney's at Ballincollig, may be ex-
pected by the 21st inst.— Cork Constitution.
THE FAILURE OF THE MALLOW SAVINGS' BANE.—
Some meetings of the depositors to the above bank have
been held, and it appears that the liabilities of the esta-
blishment amount to about 8601; that the property of
Mr. Mahoney, the actuary, who has absconded, will
realize over 5001., and that there is about 1301. with in-
terest in the Provincial Bank to the credit of the depo-
sitors. It seems that the amount of the depositors in
this bank never exceeded 1,6001., and that, on the sav-
ings' bank panic having broken out, several of the de-
positors withdrew their money, which of course mate-
rially lessened the amount in the bank, and the serious
loss will be confined to a very few depositors, the num-
ber of claimants not being more than twenty-four or
twenty-five. It is now nearly six weeks since the ac-
tuary absconded, and it is understood that his property
will be immediately made available towards the liquida-
tion of the debts due to the depositors by this establish.
ment.—Cork Reporter.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The further accounts this day confirm the intelli-
gence of the insurrectionary movement. It extends
to parts of the counties of Tipperary, Waterford, and
Kilkenny.
A rebel party was defeated by a small police force
at Portlaw, and two of the insurgents killed.
Several police stations have been attacked by the
rebels.

A large military and police force went down by
railway this day, and General M`Donald goes down
this afternoon to resume the command.
WATERFORD, SEPT. 12.
Since I left my dispatch with the Commander of
the Rose I have seen the guard of the mail which was
stopped at Granagh-bridge. Ile states that- on
reaching there the coach was stopped and the horses
taken from under it, and left walking about the
road. The guard remonstrated, and the leaders
of the people informed him that they would not
injure him or his charge, but that they would
detain him whilst they made [preparations for the
destruction of the bridge by gunpowder. They
then demolished a portion of the battlements
near the centre, and drilled some holes near the key-
stone of the arch. 'When these were charged, they
assisted the guards to put the horses to, and allowed
him to proceed in safety. The explosion at the
bridge, which did but little damage, took place
soon after ; it only failed for want of sufficient gun-
powder. The houses of several quarrymen were
previously searched for that article, and but litile
procured. I will send you correct particulars about
the affair at Portlaw to-morrow. I am told it ori-
ginated in this way :—The Marquis of 'Waterford
lately raised a corps of armed specials, whom, it is
said, he paid. These were lately disbanded tempo-
rarily, and, it appears, circulated false reports as to
the movements of the peasantry. These men the
latter resolved to find out and punish, and on their
way to Portlaw for that purpose this morning they
fell in with the police patrol of that village. Firing
took place, and one policeman was wounded in their
retreat to the barracks, whence they fired on the
people and wounded three persons; it is also said
that the " specials" fired upon them. The war is not
now for a repeal or a red republic, but to protect them
from the avaricious hand of the landlord. By the
next post I will send you all particulars, as I will
proceed to the seat of war, and do not expect to re-
turn to-night.—Chronicle.
(From the Dublin Evening Mail.)
Just before going to press we received a second
edition of the Kilkenny Moderator, from which we
extract the following interesting and succinct narra-
tive of the outbreak
The intelligence received since last night has been
more alarming than we had anticipated. No doubt
remains that an insurgent force has assembled and
shown a spirit of the utmost determination.
The main body of the insurgents, said to be 4,000
strong, has encamped on Aubrey-hill, in the county
of Tipperary, but immediately adjoining the slate
quarries in this county. The position is an ex-
tremely strong one, and every possible measure ap-
pears to have been taken to add to its security. There
is no doubt that leaders of some military experience
are amongst them, and the peasantry are being re-
gularly drilled. They are chiefly armed with pikes,
but many have rifles. hichard O'Gorman is said to
be chief commander, and Doheny is also supposed to
be amongst them. About four o'clock yesterday
afternoon a detachment from the camp proceeded to
the police barrack of the slate quarry, which the
constabulary had quitted only twenty minutes pre-
viously to take refuge at Noeltown. The insurgents,
at some distance from the house, fired through the
windows, but finding there was not any person
v.ithin it they soon took possession, and ultimately
59t fire to it, reducing the entire house and furniture

to ashes. It is rumoured that the surrounding con-
stabulary stations vtere attacked and in some places
the police were disarmed, but in others the men had
fortunately quitted the barracks, and retired upon
Clonmel and Carrick.

The driver and guard of the Cork Mail, which ar
rived here about ten o'clock last night, report that the
police had quitted the Glenbower Station, and retired
to that of Nine-mile House. Shortly before the arrival
of the coach at the latter place a party of rebels had
surrounded the station, and demanded that the men
(about 10 in number) should surrender their arms.
The police refused, and upon their proceeding to at-
tack the house the little garrison fired upon the
insurgents, and soon put them to flight. The fate of
the gallant little party is, however, still doubtful.
Rumours, which are not authenticated, assert that a
skirmish took placa yesterday at Portlaw between the
police and the rebels, in which some were killed on
both sides.

Another report asserts that, yesterday morning, 800
armed men, with pikes, marched through Coolnamuck,
and from the county of Waterford, to join the insur-
gents at Aubrey Hill.
