DUBLIN, JULY 17.—The club organization is daily
assuming a more alarming aspect—more secret in the
mode of proceeding, but more concentrated and syste-
matised, whilst branch clubs are extending far and wide
into the rural districts. The recent proceedings in
Waterford and Limerick, in connexion with the prose-
cution against Mr. T. F. Meagher, have shown how dif-
ficult it is for the leaders to restrain the clubbists front
a " premature outbreak." This may be considered
madness, and it is nothing short of insanity; but the
evil is not the less dangerous; and if some decided steps
be not taken for the suppression of the clubs, the most
deplorable consequences may be apprehended.
The Government, it is welt known, has been watching
with great vigilance the progress of the club system.
Letters from various parts of the south state that
earnest representations have been made to the authori-
ties regarding the dangerous prospects of those con-
federacies, and the apprehensions prevailing in conse-
quence.
There are reports of fresh prosecutions to-day. It
is alleged that Mr. Meagher is to be prosecuted under
the Treason Felony Act for the speech delivered by
him to the populace of Limerick on last Friday evening.
However, no reliance whatever can be placed on such
reports.
Mr. Smith O'Brien has gone down to Drogheda, to
attend a Repeal demonstration to-day.
The following communication, which appears in the
Evening Mail, affords a remarkable illustration of the
desperate character of the movement in Tipperary:—
" CAMEL, JULY 16.—Mr. Michael Doheny is just
returned in triumph from the North Riding, and is
now setting out, dressed in a most showy military
costume, green and gold, mounted on a chesnut
charger, at the head of his club (quern regiment ?),
to the groat rendezvous of the clubs, on the moun-
tain of Slievenamon. where it is expected some
thousands of the army of the League will assemble
this day. Mr. Meagher, of Waterford, is gone with
Doheny. The opinion of most people here is that mat-
ters are hastening to a crisis. •The League know right
well, non progrcdi est regredi, and are therefore doing
what they can to excite the multitudes to action. In
good truth, Government must either put down the clubs,
or the clubs will put down the Government, and that
very speedily too."
The declaration of the Roman Catholic Bishop and
clergy of the diocese of Killaloe, on the danger of " the
impious club-system," has already received the signatures
of seventy-eight clergymen of that diocese.
PROSECUTIONS AGAINST THE NEWS-
VENDERS.

At the various police-offices; this day, informations
were preferred by the police against newsvenders for sel-
ling copies of the Nation and Felon newspapers.
At the bead office, Sergeant Bowen, A 91, brought a
boy named Patrick Cullen before Messrs. Porter and
Magee, for " vending a seditious publication called the
Nation." It appeared that he was crying va-
rious papers, amongst others the Nation, when
:he constable went up and asked for a Na-
tion. The prisoner dented he had one, but on search-
ing him the constable found a copy. The paper was
handed to the magistrates, when Mr. Porter read the
leading article, bearing the initials "C. G. D." After
a long discussion, in which Mr. Rea, a solicitor, ap-
peared for the prisoner, Mr. Porter declared that the
paper was a seditious publication, and that the magis-
trates would ser.d the case for adjudication before a jury.
Ultimately it was arranged to bind the prisoner to ap-
pear to morrow, when informations will be received.
HENRY-STREET OFFICE. Police-constable C 48,
charged Ellen Roche with selling copies of the Nation
and Felon newipapers, on Saturday last, same being sedi-
tious and felonious publications. Mr. Kelly, the pre-
siding magistrate, called for the papers referred to. The
constable stated that he did not deprive the prisoner of
them. Mr. Kelly, therefore, dismissed the case.

THE HARVTST.—POTATO CROP.—Tbe weather still
continues most favourable. The accounts of the grain
crops, with few exceptions, are most enconraging. In
some districts the potato blight has certainly appeared,
rbut as yet to no serious extent. In general the reports
of the potato are very favourable, and the supplies at the
markets are becoming considerable.

Queen's Letters Lord Bishop of Cork, will be installed

WEXFORD, JULY 15.—Yesterday Baron IlicuAnDs
addressed the grand jury. He said—l am very happy
to be able to in►orm you that the duties you have to per
corm at this assizes are light indeed. There are not
more than five or six bills of indictment to ge before
you, and those of a light and ordinary class of crime.
After the trial of three persons for burglary, and of a
young lad of about twelve yerrs of ago for stealing a
watch,
Baron RICHARDS said—This disposes of the whole
criminal business. I wish I could dispose of the county
Tipperary as easily.
The Court then rose.

EARLY RISING.—I was always an early riser.
Happy the man who is ! Every morning day comes to
him with a virgin's love, full of bloom, and purity, and
freshness. The youth of nature is contagious, like the
gladness of a happy child. I doubt it any man can
be called " old," so long as he is an early riser, and an
early walker. And oh, youth I—take my word for it
—youth in dressing-gown and slippers, dawdling on
breakfast at noon, is a very decrepid ghastly image of
that youth which sees the su❑ blush over the moun-
tains, and the dews sparkle upon blossoming hedgerows.

THE MAIDEN'S LEAr.—A. daughter of the first
Earl of Gowrie was courted by a young Highland
gentleman, much her inferior in rank and fortune.
Her family, though they gave no encouragement to
the match, permitted him to visit them at the castle
of Ruthvcn, in Perthshire, and on such occasions the
chamber assigned to him was in a tower, near another
tower in which his lovely mistress slept. On one of
his visits, the young lady, before the doors were shut,
got into her lover's apartment, but some person of the
truly, having discovered it, told her mother, who, cut-
ting off all possibility of retreat, hastened to surprise
them. The young lady, however, hearing the well-
known steps of her mother hobbling up stairs, ran to the
leads, and took a desperate leap of nine feet four inches,
over a chasm of CO feet from the ground, alighted on
the battlements of the other tower, whence descending
Into her chamber, he crept into bed. Her mother having
in vain sought her in her lover's chamber came into hler
room, where, finding her seemingly
gised for her unjust suspicion. The young lady elope
asleep, she apo od-
the following night with her Highland laddie and was
married. The chasm between pe the ow
