IRELAND.

i DUBLIN, SATURDAY ENENING.—We have a new
j batch of re:6l,urs in the town to-day, some absurd and
j improbable enough. One of them represents Mr. Smith
(I'Brien at the head of 50,010 men in Tipperary, while
Waterford, Limerick, and C)rk, are preparing to march
for the head•quarters of "tie Army of IndependenCe."
As to Mr. Smith O'Brien hinself, it is we believe, quite
certain, that he has made up his mind to resist the war-
rantthat determination or not remains to be seen. The
Catholic clergy, to their credit be it said, are almost to a
man opposed to violence aid bloodshed, and unless
for his arrest. Whether he will be supported in
stimulated, or at least countenanced, by the clergy, the
people will be very reluctant to embroil themselves in a
contest with the military. The following from a corre-
spondent et the Freeman, is :he latest authentic intelli-
gence of Mr. O'Brien's proceedings:—
On Tuesday, at one o'clock, P.M., W. S. O'Brien, Esq..
M.P., accompanied by J. B. Dillon, EsqEsqs., with a
~ barrister-at-
law, P. Donoughoe, and C. 7, Cantwell,
few other Dublin gentlemen, arrived at Mulli-
nahone, whence they proceeded to the residence
of Benjamin Wright, Esq. Immediately after
their arrival a vast number of men flocked from
the surrounding parishes, amounting to at least five
thousand persons, who assembled round the wall in frolit
of Mr. Wright's residence. After the people had as-
sembled, Mr. O'Brien addressed them at great length;
he was followed by J. B. Dillon, Esq., who was cheered
several times. Loud calls were then made for Mr.
Thomas Wright, who
immediately got upon the wall and
spoke for nearly an hour to Vie vast assembly, during
which he advised the parties not to do any act that would
not become men, and that he hoped things would pass off
without violence, and that the Government would see the
necessity of doing what would better the condition of
the people. It being now five o'clock, the crowd sepa-
rated until seven, when they
again assembled and re-
mained quietly in the town until clear day in the morn-
ing. Mr. O'Brien advised theta to return to their homed,and that he would be glad to address them on his depitf
ture the following day. After
breakfast they began to
assemble again, and remained cheering until Mr. O'Brien
left at one o'clock, when all the party escorted him to
Ballingarry and Slievierdah collieries. Owing to the in-
fluence of Mr. Wright's family,
good order was pre-
served all through without any person being in the least
injured or insulted.

-It is now said that the warrant for the arrest of Mr.
O'Brien was sent by mistake to Limerick, and returned
on Wednesday. By the mail of Wednesday night a new
warrant was dispatched to Tipperary in charge of an
inspector of the metropolitan police,••••
Mr. Eugene O'Reilly, a rather piominent leader of
the Confederates, and against whom a warrant had been
issued, surrendered himself to the magistrates, and has
been committed to Kilmainham under the Habeas
Corpus Suspension Act. Mr. O'Reilly took this step at
the instance, or on the compulsion rather, of his
father, a respectable solicitor, who accompanied his son
to the police-cffice. The prisoner, who is an extremely
prepossessing young man of education, with good expec-
tations, formed one of the Irish embassy to Paris, with
the ultimate view • of entering the French army.
Having, however, taken a few lessons ill military tat-
tics, he changed his mind, and returned to Ireland,
whore he shortly afterwards became president of one of
the clubs.

MORE ARRESTS AND OUTLAWRIES.
Several additional arrests of men charged with " trea-
sonable practices" were made to-day. A considerable
number of the leading clubbists and writers of treason
have absconded. The following is from the flue and Cly
of this morning. Lalor, Halpin, and two others have
been arrested since this
l Dublin
Castle, July 28, 1848.tion:—
" Whereas the undernamed persons sand charged
with having been concerned in treasonable Practices and
,
have absconded,— • ..!
" Michael Crean, late of the city of Dublin;
Thomas Matthew Halpin, of the same;
Francis Morgan, of the same, attorney-at-law;
Patrick James Smyth, of the same;
John H. Drumme, of the same;
James Cantwell, of the same;
Thomas d'Arcy M'Gee, of the same; •
Joseph Brennan, of the same;
Thomas Devin Reilly, of the same;
John Cantwell, of the same;
Stephen J. Meany, of the same;
Henry Shaw, of the same, printer; and
James F. Lalor, late of Tinnikill, Queen's county.
" Inspectors of
.police, constables, and sub-constables
are authorised to apprehend, and cause to be committed
into safe custody, the before-named offenders, to be
further dealt with according to law.
" And inasmuch as they respectively stand charged
with having committed felony, all persons are warned
against incurring the penalties to which in such cases
they will become liable under the provisions of an Act
passed in the eleventh year of the reign of her present
Majesty, cap. 2, intituled An Act for the better preven-
tion of Crime and Outrage in certain parts of Ireland,'
by harbouring or sheltering them, or any of them."
Thomas Matthew Halpin was secretary to the late
" Irish Confederation ;" Francis Morgan is one of the
attorneys to the Dublin (repeal) corporation; Pill Gee, a
leading writer in the Nation, and one of the crack ora-
tors; Joseph Brennan, Devin Reilly, and Meaty, writers
in the Felon; Shaw, printer thereof, and Lalor, the mo-
dern Murat, who quaintly observed the other day in
a published letter of his, that before dealing with the
present proprietors of the land in Ireland, the 4,0,000
armed men employed by the Queen to guard it should be
killed.

The Government cannot sot a very high valte on the
lot, as they do not offer a pound reward for their appre-
hension. Now, this is not treating M‘Gee, for instance,
fairly; for, as a writer, speaker, and organizer, he is, to
use a familiar description, the " daddy" of the whole lot
of patriots recently outlawed.
Subjoined are particulars of the latest arrests. It will
be observed that at six o'clock last evening the town of
Nenagh did not exhibit the least excitement or sympa-
thy for Mr. Lalor, who was expected there In custody
every hour.

- (From the Nenagh Guardian of last night.)
" ARREST OP DIR. JADIES g, LALOR.
" Just as we were going to press, a strong force of the
34th, numbering about eighty, and twenty-four of the
police, under the command of the Sub_inspector O'Dell,
left town, for the purpose of escorting to our gaol Mr.
James F. Lalor, who had been arrested by constable
M'Cann and a party of police from Itorrisoleigh, in the
house of Mr. Kennedy of Ballahans. It appears Mr.
Lalor had been sojourning in the vicinity of Temple-
derry, &c., for the last few days, and that he had been
addressing the people in the most seditious and revolu-
tionary language. He has been arrested under the re-
cent Act of Parliament.

" Six o'clock P.M.
" The police and military have not yet arrived with
Mr. Lalor. The town is quiet; not the least excite-
ment prevails, nor manifestation of sympathy for Mr.
Lalor.

" Half-past Seven.
" Mr, Lalor is on his way to Nenagh gaol, escorted
by a strong guard, but up to the above hour has not ar-
rivod in town."

It is clear that the Nenagh Guardian—a paper pub-
lished in the least loyal portion of Tipperary—has no
fears for the future. Hear what it says this morning .
"The Queen's troops and a half brigade of artillery
would puzzle all the tailors, drapers' boys, shoemakers,
nailors, and labourers, which the lanes and alleys could
disgorge, or who might be aided by a force of all the
labourers from the surrounding country. We have no
fears therefore as to the peace and quietness of our dis-
trict being disturbed—nor do we think that any out-
break in any other county or locality will be attempted.
Not but we think that if there were no forces opposed to
the whole movement, its leaders and members would
show an immense amount of heroism and bravery. The
greatest bullies are always the greatest cowards—and in
the case of the clubbists, they quietly and very judi-
ciously dissolved themselves, their threats, troasons, plots,
and stratagems."

TILE SEDITION CASES AT CORK.

Yesterday the Clerk of the Crown announced that the
county grand jury had found true bills against the fol-
lowing parties. The indictments were drawn upon long
sheets of parchment, and seemed to. be very volumi-
nous:—Ralph Varian, Isaac Stephen Varian,. John
Walter Bourke, Denis Philip Lyons, JObn O'Brien, and
George Allman.
The traversers having taken their places at the bar,
Sir Cougar; O'LoGHLEN said he had, not seen the
indictment, and was unprepared to go on with the case
of the traversers.
The COURT directed that copies of the indictments
should be furnished to the traverser? counsel.
The case was then postponed till twelve, o'clock to-
morrow, and the parties accused left the court.
The Nation and Felon are suppressed. Neither was
published today.
At a meeting of the county grand jury held on
Thursday, the foreman read the annexed, correspond.

Government were last night put in possession of in
formation of the state of affairs in the south of so urgent
a nature that not an hour was lost in taking steps to
prevent the possibility of a successful outbreak, ~
cordingly, this morning,
almost break of day, two

batteries of artillery, the 74th Highlanders, from Ship-
street Barracks, a company of the 60th Rifles, and a
well. stored commissariat, were put in motion, and at 6
o'clock the whole of this auxiliary force was on its route
to the disturbed districts.

Major-General Macdonald, second in command to
Prince George of Cambridge. has proceeded to take
charge of the southern district.

The 85th Light Infantry, now in Richinand Barracks,
and two more companies of the Rifles, proceed to-
morrow as further reinforcements to the army in the
south.

A company of artillery, with field battery, landed
here from England this morning.
From 80 to 100 young men connected with the Dub-
lin clubs are prowling about town, seeking to make
their escape to the disturbed districts with the desperate
determination of taking their stand by their belea-
v uered leader, whose fortunes, they say, they will follow
to the death.
