" Mr. Hudson presents his compliments to the Solicitor-
General,
and begs to acknowledge the receipt of his letter of
this evening, enclosing a reply to Mr. Butt's note, of which
Mr. Hudson was the bearer. Mr. Hudson, on the part of
Mr. Butt, accepts the letter of the Solicitor• General as a
sufficient assurance that the expressions complained of was
not intended by him to apply to Mr. Butt; as, however, Mr.
Hudson believes that these expressions have left a different
impression on the public mind, he considers it right to pub-
lish this correspondence.
" Monday evening, Aug. 21, 3, Gardiner's- place."
THE CLEARANCE SYSTEM.

The Dublin Evening Post contains the following ac-
count of evictions in Meath:—
" The sheriff attended at Clondoogan on yesterday
(Aug. 16), accompanied by a numerous police force, and
levelled to the ground seventeen houses, sending the un-
fortunate inmates, eighty-four in number, adrift upon the
world. _

" The following are the names of these wretched creatures:
—Charles Ash, wife, and five children ; Edward Morris, wife,
and two children; Thomas Brennan, wife, and seven chil-
dren; Michael Fitzsimons, wife, and five children; Patrick
Salmon, wife, and one child; Richard Hannon, wife, and
three children; Mary Fegan and child; Henry King, wife,
mother, and three children ; Edward Murphy, wile,_ and
seven children ; Widow Kelly, two children ; Widow
White, two children; Patrick Stones, wife, and two chil-
dren ; Bridget Shauness, five children, deserted by her hus-
band ; Widow Connell, two children ; Widow Gilligan, two
children; Richard Gilligan, wife, and two children; Patrick
Monaghan, wife, and two children ; Widow Johnson, two
children.
" I should feel obliged by your giving publicity to the
above statement. I pledge myself to its accuracy.
The last account from the recent scene of insurrection
in Tipperary is the following:—
" EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BALLINGARRY.—MON-
DAY, AUG. 21.—We had a violent gale here last night. It
rained incessantly. Nearly the whole of the tents of the
74th Regiment were being blown down— even the mess-tent,
which was well secured, could not withstand the violence of
the storm. Although the country is apparently tranquil,
still few arms are delivered up. The encampment is ex-
pected to be struck in eight or nine days."
THE HARVEST.
The weather continues better, but still far from settled.
The reports of the grain crops are, in many instances,
very discouraging; but the injury caused by the rain is
only partial. Th potato blight is still making progress.
At the Dublin Corn Market there was an advance on
all kinds of grain, and the new wheat at market to-day
%as indifferent in quality.

CHARTIST DISTURBANCES.
At a full meeting of the Somera-town Chartists, the
following resolution was adopted:—
Resolved—" That this meeting, being convinced of the
truth and justice of the principles contained in the
document called the People's Charter, and believing that
its recognition as the basis of society would effect not
only the political emancipation, but also the social
amelioration of the toiling masses, we therefore cannot
but express our deep and heartfelt regret that this sacred
cause should be damaged and brought into odium and
contempt by the insane conduct of a few (no doubt
honest, but) misguided and unthinking men, who allowed
themselves to be stimulated on by those who were
actuated by the most vile and basest of motives, and as
we, the Chartists of Somers-town, have never counte-
nanced or been connected as a locality with the proceed-
ings alluded to in the evidence, of the informer Powell,
we consider it to be our imperative duty to protest
against all secret proceedings, and we hereby repudiate,
denounce, and condemn the conduct therein detailed, as
subversive to the great cause of progression and liberty,
this meeting being conjtiodHenNtlymotfisio(p)iTnTioinstehearettainryce.n-
diarism, anarchy, and bloodshed will never eventuate in
redressing the wrongs or achieving the rights of the
working classes."

The grand jury assembled a little before eleven o'clock,
and at great length heard the witnesses.
About half-past two o'clock the foreman of the jury
stated in court that they were unanimous in finding true
bills against the whole forty-six defendants. As soon as
this announcement was recorded, Mr. Pollock applied for
warrants against all the individuals named, who were
not already in custody. This was immediately acceded
to by his Lordship. Information was forwarded to
this city by telegraph, and officers were sent to ap-
prehend the conspirators. The first apprehended was
James Leach, a printer, as hei was leaving Whit-
taker's Temperance Coffee-house, Ancoats. street. Sub-
sequently George Clarke Cropper, a well-known Chartist
