bourhood of Carrick-on-Suir, where they,addressed
the people in. the most inflammatory language, de-
claring their determination not to be taken alive, but
to sell their lives dearly, and appealing to them for
that protection which Irishmen seldom refuse to the
unfortunate. Having thorough).- excited the people
in those already disturbed districts, they departed
for the borders of Kilkenny and Tipperary, in the
neighbourhood of the Sleivenamon Mountain, which
had always been celebrated as a place of refuge to
outlaws, and for the lawlessness of the surrounding
country. Mr. DOHENY had previously departed for
Cashel, and Clonmel, while other ringleaders moved
to quarters known to be ripe for revolt.
The result of these proceedings will be found in
the intelligence contained in another column, and
which has just been received by electric telegraph.
Not merely a passive resistance has been offered iu
Tipperary and Kilkenny, but acts of aggression
have taken place. The station of the Great Southern
and Western of Ireland Railway, at Thurles, has
been set on fire, and the rails have been torn up for
miles, pursuant to the instructions of Mr. MITCHEL,
long since contained in the Nation, before his se-
cession therefrom or the establishment of the
United Irishman, and for which a prosecution
was instituted against Mr. DUFFY, as proprietor of
that journal. At Clonmel, Kilkenny, Carrick, &c.,
fighting is going on; and it is said (but with-
out sufficient coisfirmation, and we trust with-
out foundation), that the military have been
defeated at severarpoifits ; and, also, that they have
exhibited marks of disaffection. We cannot credit
this latter statement. We are convinced that the
British soldier will on this, as upon every former
occasion, be found faithful to his SOVEREIGN and
his country, and that any attempt to induce
him to waver in his allegiance will be found abso-
lutely futile and unavailing. Neither do we enter-
tain the slightest doubt as to the speedy triumph of
order. Whatever temporary success may attend the
insurgents at the first moment of the outbreak,
they will be wholly unable to withstand
the concentrated force that can be brought against
them at a very early period. The matter now is
brought fairly to the issue, and painful as must be
the results of a civil war, in the destruction
of property and the loss of valuable lives, any-
thing is better than the state in which
Ireland has been kept by the anarchists
for the last five months, and which prevented the
possibility of any permanent amelioration in her
social condition, which we may now reasonably hope
for, so soon as peace and tranquillity can be restored,
and the elements of disturbance wholly eradicated.

Parliament seems determined to arrogate to itself
some of the most solemn prerogatives of Omm-
SCIENCE. Instead of restricting its exertions to the

regulation of the relations of man with man, of the
individual with the community, it has the self-suffi•

ciency (the impious self• sufficiency, we should say)
to interfere with the relations subsisting between the
creature and his GOD. The conscience of an irreli-

gious publican is henceforth to be probed like any other
ulcerous cicatrice. Such appears to be the determi-
nation of the House of Commons, as far at least as
we can surmise from the discussion which occurred
last evening, on the consideration of the different
