ARMS LICENSES.

Mr. Knaresborough, and Mr. boa, county in-
spector, resumed the hearing of applications for license
to have and carry arms on Saturday.
Mr. Knaresborough announced that persons selling
arms and ammunition had no necessity at present to
come before him, as the proclamation now issued did
not affect them, but in a very short time they would be
dealt with, and put under restrictions by another procla-
mation.

Licenses were then refused to several persons who at-
tended confederate meetings, and it was stated that 110
publican would be allowed a license for arms.
The commission for the county of Cork was opened on
Monday before the Hon. Mr. Justice Ball, who in his
charge to the grand jury said the calendar contained the
names of eighty-seven prisoners, but of whom over sixty
were persons committed for common larcenies, leaving
only twenty-five which wore properly assize offence?.
He regretted to find that out of the total of 1,142 prl'
Boners in the gaol, an establishment not built for half the
number, there were no less than 109 persons under sen-
tence of transportation, and who should have been re-
moved long since. His Lordship then called attention
to the state of the jury lists made out for the county
Last spring assizes he had occasion to see some of the,
jury lists returned by the barony collector here, " and
the palpable and wholesale omissions of the persons beat
qualified were so striking, that I considered it my dutY
to refer to the matter with a view to its correction, and
so far as I can understand from the state of the lists, I
think those collectors are greatly in fault, and that it is
to them the present state of the county panel is to be at-
tributed." His Lordship concluded his charge by al'
luding to these matters principally and the duties of the
magistrates, but without any direct
.allusion to the dis•
turbed state of the country.
When the Rose left Waterford at three o'clock yes-
terday, all was then quiet; but intelligence had reecho'
the town of the passing of the Suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Bill in the House of Commons in one night. The
Confederates were greatly exasperated et it; but the
loyal portion of the community were gratified by the
vigorous measures of the Goveranient. There was s
meeting of the clubs at Carrick-on-Suir, on Monday
night, at which it was understood that both Mr. Smith
O'Brien and Mr. Meagher were present. Meagher had
issued an address calling upon the clubs of Waterford
to meet at five o'clock on Tuesday night, when he and
Mr. Smith O'Brien would be present. It was stated tbat
warrants had arrived from Dublin for the arrest of both
these personages, and the prevailing impression was that
an attempt to capture Mr. Meagher would lead to a 01.
lision. The authorities were in the meantime using ener-
getic measures to resist any outbreak which might arise'
The Artillery, Dragoons, Fusiliers, and Buffs, were in
readiness for immediate action. The Rhadamanthtig
frigate was lying at Wateford Quay, and another stearg
frigate was coming up the river, supposed to be witd
troops on board. The armed police were mounted, ah,
were stationed at points on the public roads, so as 'ff
convey to the authorities the earliest intelligence
the approach of large bodies of persons. There
had been no precise proclamation forbidding the
~
club meeting last night, but it was thought that,,,Pbe
magistrates would not permit their assemblage. 4.
