IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JuLY,l6.—The threatened demonstration of
the Dublin clubs, promised by the Nation for this day,
did not take place. The object was to ascertain " the
precise strength of the Dublin clubs." Much surprise
was caused by the abandonment of the meeting ; but no
cause is assigned unless a " difficulty in obtaining the
ground for the assemblage." The police were on the
alert, expecting the meeting : but they have escaped a
day of toil, in watching the marchings and counter-
marchings of the Clubbists.
PROSECUTION OF MR. T. F. MEAGHER.

The Limerick Chronicle of Saturday contains the fol-
lowing :
" Mr. Meagher last night addressed another crowd of
persons from the windows of the house of Dr. Geary,
J. P., George-street, where he had dined. He said
the county Limerick grand jury had found true bills
against him, that some of that panel, including
the foreman, were members of the late Irish
Council, which had advocated the national doc-
trines for which he is now to be tried as a felon. He
adverted indignantly to the seizure of Mr. Gavan Duffy's
property in Dublin, and designated our rulers as the
Government robbers. He thanked the Government not-
withstanding fur sending him to trial to Limerick, where
he had now found a secure and substantial footing. He
cared not for the Court, the Government, or the army.
and he entreated the people of Limerick to organize and
increase the clubs, now becoming of universal formation
throughout Ireland. Let them never forget the tens of
thousands of their kindred and countrymen starved to
death by English misgovernment, and mouldering in
untimely graves; and resolve never to suffer the glo-
rious harvest of this year to pass out of their hands at
the peril of adding to the human sacrifice of the last two
years.

" This unseemly display, by a gentleman in Mr.
Meagher's singular position at this assizes, took place in
a street nearly opposite the judge's lodgings, and cer-
tainly within hearing of their Lordships.
" This day, at twelve o'clock, Mr. Meagher appeared
in court to plead to the indictment, and he then traversed
in prox until next assizes."
It is stated that the new poor-rate, upon the Kilkee
division of Kilrush union, amounts to 17s. in the pound,
upon the valuation !
SLIGO ELECTION.

Mr. Somers is once more member for Sligo borough.
He was declared the sitting member on Friday evening.
At the close of the poll Somers had a majority of 12
over Hartley, and of 15 over Ball. Mr. Hartley is to
petition against the return, and it is stated that some
electors of the borough are to petition for a general
inquiry.

will bo seen that the former had a comparatively easy
victory. The final snore was as follows:

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 6,500 bales. There was no change in prices.
Imports since Friday 10,000 bales. American, 3id. to
54d. per lb.—Shares closed very firmly, and holdeix
again asked higher rates.
Although we have sedulously brought under notice the
general advantages of emigration, we conceive that it is
the duty of every one who writes upon the subject to
prevent so important a boon being brought into disre-
pute by want of foresight on the part of the individuals
proceeding to the colonies, or by the interested pro-
ceedings of parties inducing them to pro-
ceed to certain localities. All the colonies
have their advantages, and afford a choice unlimited
almost, of climate and pursuits. At the same time the
United States offer a home to thousands who do not
object to seek their fortune under other than British
rule. In the case of emigration to the States, however,
our Government is manilestly incompetent to interfere,
and hence the inexperienced and too-confiding emigrant
is enticed to pay money to parties here for promised
advantages on the other side of the Atlantic.
The purchase of lands not worth a farthing to an
European is a frequent case, and one which, from cer-
tain advertisements just inserted, we fear is likely to
occur now again to some extent. Let parties beware,
and if they do not have recourse to the Government
agents, take at least the counsel of some disinterested
person. It is madness to buy lands of anonymous parties,
whether professing to act for themselves, or in a body,
as a company.
There is very little news to-day, and the fine weather
is almost the only matter spoken of. Its influence, how-
ever, is really wonderful, and will not be less felt in the
Continental money markets than here, for no doubt .to
scarcity of food may in a great measure be traced the re-
cent political convulsions.
The Funds have further advanced, and 90 for Consols
is now spoken of as likely to be attained this week.
Confidence once receiving a bound, the reaction towards
prosperity may be as decided as was that to adversity,
and each temporary decline after a rise in the funds only
appears to spring from the sales of the less sanguine,
who desire to realize profits, and is succeeded shortly
after by a more decided advance than ever. The un-
funded debt shows the abundance of unemployed
