LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 31, 1848.

LATEST FROM IRELAND.

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]

DUBLIN, SUNDAY EVENING.

The accounts received by the trains from Kilkenny,
Carlow, Cork, Cashel, Tipperary, Thurles, &c., this
afternoon, report everything as perfectly quiet. About
ten o'clock on Saturday night the 83d Regiment left
Kilkenny for the relief cf Lieutenant Trant and his
party, with about sixty constables, but returned this
morning, not having heard any tidings of them.
(From the Times.)

Nye have received by electric telegraph, fromiLiver-
pool, accounts from our own correspondent in Dublin,
who informs us that our reporter, writing from Will-
mount, Ballinghy, on Saturday night, states that
rebellion, which actually commenced on that morn-
ing, had been decidedly checked by fifty or sixty
police.
On the common at Bonlagh, near Ballinghy, a
collision took place. Three of the insurgents were
shot, and several wounded.
Smith O'Brien, who headed in person, had fled
completely deserted by the rebels towards Urling-
forA, and it was expected he would be made prisoner
before night. Doheny, Reilly, and Dillon were also
in the field ; the latter had been killed.
On the departure of our express from Dublin all
remained quiet in the city. No account of Smith
O'Brien's arrest had yet been received.

CLONMEL, JULY 29.

Clonmel, the chief town of the county Tippe-
rary, is still quiet; no actual outbreak has yet oc-
curred hero or in the neighbourhood, but excite-
ment and alarm continue almost unabated. The pro-
clamations from Dublin Castle, offering rewards
for the apprehension of Smith O'Brien, Doheny,
Meagher, and J. B. Dillon, arrived this morning,
and were posted up in all directions, without hind-
rance or disturbance. The general feeling is, that
the Government having taken such a decided stand, a
few days will reveal whether we are to have an insur-
rection or not. The leaders have cast themselves
upon Tipperary, where their only hops seems to lie;
Smith O'Brien within this week has appealed to the
clubs at Carrick-on-Suit, twelve miles hence, the
greatest stronghold of clubbism in Ireland; told
them if they would stand by him he would defy the
Government, and lead them himself; the majority
responded to the call, but the president wisely in-
formed him that Carrick should not he made the
battle-field of the revolution, and that he should put
himself upon the devotion of Dublin or Cork, which
were the proper quarters in which to begin
operations. Since then, he (Dillon) and Doheny
have been hovering round us, one day at Slie-
'enamon, another at I\lullinahone, and so on. On
Tuesday last O'Brien and a body of men went to the
police barracks of the latter place, and demanded
admission, that they might gain possession of the
arms contained therein, which the sergeant refused,
saying he would die first, and would defend it to the
last; no attack, however, was made, the insurgents
not being desirous of a rencontrece with such stern
sin
stuff; the sergeant has received two chevrons
and 201., and has also been promoted to the rank of
head constable ; the other men who were in the bar-
rack at the same time have each been rewarded by
two chevrons and 51.
Yesterday a troop of the Bth Hussars were passing
through Killenaule, a small town fifteen
miles to
the N.W. of this ;on their approach large
body g e
body of the rebels there, headed by a
O'Brien
and Dillon, turned out to meet them, un-
der the impression that they had warrants for
the arrest of their leaders ; a barricade was thrown up
at each end of the town ; O'Brien mounted the top of
one, armed with a pistol and a pike, and inquired the
object of the soldiers ; he was told they were merely
passing through; he then asked the officer, on his
