Grimsby, from its position near the entrance of the
Humber, will, when the proposed extensive works are
carried out, and the projected railways completed, offer
great facilities to the trade with the Baltic and northern
Europe; it will be a ready coaling place fur steamers,
and will probably become the principal resort of the
fishing vessels employed on the Dogger Bank, as well as
on the more distant grounds of the North Sea fishery.
This part of the Humber, and the neighbouring anchor-
age of Hawkroad, offer the only harbour of refuge in
easterly gales, from Harwich to the Firth of Forth, and
during these winds 300 vessels have taken shelter here at
one time.—Lincolnshire Chroniek.

IRELAND.
THE CONFEDERATE LEADERS.
DUBLIN, JULY 23.--In reply to wery puular in-
quiries for Mr. W. Smith O'Brien, ALP., at hinesidenee
last evening, it was stated that the Ikon. and Gallant
Gentleman had left town rather suddenly, without men.
timing whither he was bound!

Several other leaders have likewise left town, on busi-
ness connected with the threatened " rising." Air.
O'Gorman arrived in Limerick yesterday on a tour of
inspection among the clubs in that county and Clare.
He visits Killaloe this day, says the Etraniincr, where
he is promised a warm reception.
Mr. Doheny is running riot through Tipperary, and
Mageo is revelling amid the would be rebels of the
county of Dublin. Meagher is preparing high-flown,
appeals to the God of Battles, and vowing that he will
not register that celebrated sword of his, which, by the
way, is not yet forged.
Subjoined are some extracts from the provincial repeal
journal:, which must be calculating on the impunity with
which the " Felonious" papers in Dublin have been per,
miffed to circulate their treason :

(From the Waterford Chronicle.)
" Verily, the crisis has at length arrived, and indica-
tions of a bloody straggle are almost daily supplied now
in our populous cities, and anon in sequestered districts.
To-day, on the very apex of a lofty mountain, ten thou-
sand voices shout for repeal ; and the next day are as-
sembled, at a moment's notice, in a small ill-garrisoned
town one thousand hale determined men, armed with
pikes, and athirst for vengeance. What will the time-
serving, vacillating, double-dealing, cowardly Minister
say to this state of things ? Forewarned by the Liberal
press of the provinces of the consequences that would
inevitably result from his treatment of file
remonstrances of the people, he still blindly
and obdurately clung to his course, and another of the
many curses of his rule has fallen on us in the determi-
nation of the people to appeal to the sword, and glut
their enchafed wrath in the life-blood of their oppressors.
Oh! sad, bitter, withering day for this country that
witnessed Lord John Russell's election to the Premier..
ship. His was not the. policy of a humane ruler; for
thousands of her Majesty's faithful Irish subjects star ved,
died, rotted away, unpitied by the Premier, and un-
heeded by his parasites. Nor yet was his the wise, caul-
tious policy of one anxious to preserve the peace of the
country; for when the people complained of their crush-
ing aftlictions, and besought a redress of grievances, at
once maddening and indescribable, no words of soothing
came from the Minister—no token of sympathy ema-
nated from the Senate-house. On the head, then, of Lord
John Russell will rest the consequences of this menaced
and imminent outbreak; and children yet unborn will
employ his hated name as the foulest known to the peo-
ple in damning execrations of the folly, the madness, and
the tyranny of our rulers."
(From the Limerick Examiner.)
"In short, terror is nowhere. The devil is raised. The
people are at bay. Persecution, proceeding step by step
from the day of John Mitchel's condemnation, suc-
ceeded in awakening resistance alone; and now coercion
is carried from city to city, to inflame detestation; and
communicate and spread it, pretty much in the manner
of the red -cross of old. It is not thus that peace will
return; nor can excitement diminish while the bigoted,
factious, ascendancy party rules the Executive; or while
Elise, frivolous charges are deliberately concocted, and,
the vilest and foulest abuse is poured out against Irish-
men, to justify their arrest, and gratify that virulence
with which the active opponents of oppression are pur-
sued by unprincipled hirelirgs."
The Limerick Examiner announces the formation of
clubs at Kilmallock, Charlevillc, and other parts of the
county,
