IRELAND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
'rho accounts from the South this morning state that
tranquillity continues to prevail.
Saunders's News Letter contains the following
" THURLES, TUESDAY EVENIWG.—AII remains quiet hate,
and a very large addition has been made to the camp. Up-
wards of 2,C00 soldiers are under canvas.
"It appears that, on three several oczasions since his affair
with the police at Ballingarry, Smith O'Brien slept in Thurles
at various intervals, and one man who saw him after his arrest
recognised him as a person who some days previously had
met him on the road and inquired if a stranger would be re-
marked if he went to look at the encampment.
" Although Borrisoleigh is only seven miles from Thurles,
the peasantry who met there on Monday at a fair could
scarcely believe in the news of O'Brien's arrest. Several
zealous clubs were formed there, one of which consisted of
young men who wore their flowing locks in a peculiar
manner to imitate the French republicans; but in the last
twe days the tonsorial abilities of the rural operator of
Borrisoleigh have been called into requisition, and several
of the more prominent members of the clubs have also dis-
appeared."
CLONMEL, TUESDAY EVENING.—This town an :1 neigh-
bourhood are beginning to resume their warred appearance.
and every one is getting tired of talking of and preparing for
the rebellion. The mountaineers of Slievenamon and Glen-
patritl seem to have relinquished their signal tires, and ad-
mit, without hesitation, that the work was spoiled.
" Lord Hardinge arrived here this day.
" llillon, Dohenv, Meagher, and O'Gorman are said to be
at the Keeler or Kepper Mountains, between Thurles and
Killaloe, with some thousands of the peasantry,. so that the
seat of war, if anywhere, has been removed from us.
" The unfortunate potato seems to be in a bad way. The
disease is spreading daily, and assuming a more virulent
aspect."
file Freeman's Journal contains the following:—
" HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH.—We have re-
ceived the following important communication from a cor-
respondent in whom we have perfect fatth—
.
" ' Thurles, Tuesday, Seven o'clock r.st.
" ' I have just learned, through a source on which I can
implicitly rely, that a communication has been made to the
Irish Government, through the mediation of an influential
Catholic clergyman, from the parties who, next, after William
Smith O'Brien, were considered the most important against
whom warrants have been issued. The communication, I
understand, is to the effect, that these gentlemen undertake
to surrender themselves to the Government upon receiving
the assurance that none of the proceedings instituted against
any of the state prisoners shall extend to taking of life. It
appears that this communication was induced on the par-
ties hearing of the arrest of Smith O'Brien, on Saturday
evening." • •
It is stated that one of the chief witnesses for the Crown,
at the trials of Mr. Smith O'Brien and the other parties im-
plicated in the insurrection and conspiracy, will be Mr. P. J.
Barry, who had been secretary of the first Young :Ireland
Association, and who remained all along a prominent mem-
ber of the Confederacy.

The Limerick v Reporter of Tuesday contains the fol-
;owing :
- - - - - -

Tue police, from the concentration of head-quarters at
this city, have returned to their stations at Ballinacurra and
Boherbuoy.

" At twelve o'clock to-day, Colonel Trevor, the adjutant,
and doctor, with six companies, twelve officers,and baggage,
of the 59th Regiment, arrived in this city from Nenagh,
where they had been encamped. They halt here, and ex-
pect orders to leave to-morrow.
" Some interest and excitement was created by the ar-
rival and countermand of troops by the Waterford and Lime-
rick Railway in this city. The following are particulars:
On Sunday evening and early on Monday morning the
troops which had been encamped in the county Tipperary,
consisting of 570 men and 27 officers of the 85th Regiment,
and 90 men and 10 officers of the 60th Rifles, with
General M'Donald and staff, and some baggage, arrived
here, and by some mysterious order, supposed to he caused
by the trials of Messrs. Duffy and Martin, &cc. in Dublin
to-day, the 85th, with the General and staff, left for that
city at twelve o'clock yesterday by railway. The Rifles, on
their arrival marched to Adair, but returned yesterday,
and left by the six o'clock train this morning for Dublin.
The officers and men appeared to be much harrassed and
fatigued. As the 85th were returning. one of the privates
fell at the station, between the platform and an engine,
which suddenly started, and bruised him terribly. He
was immediately carried to the hospital of the Artillery bar-
racks, and little hopes are entertained of his recovery.
We should add that the whole were fitted out with camp
requisites."
