DISSOLUTION OF THE CONFEDERATE CLUBS
OF DUBLIN—FLIGHT OF THE LEADERS.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, SIX A.M.
By a Dublin letter of last night we learn that the Con-
federate Clubs of Dublin have voluntarily dissolved
themselves: many of the leaders and more prominent
members have fled. Mr. O'Brien is not yet in the hands
of the police. The rebels in the metropolis are panic-
stricken.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.
The city remains perfectly tranquil, and every
possible precaution has been taken by the authorities.
No immediate disturbance is apprehended.
It is rumoured that Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr.
Meagher will be at the Royal Agricultural Show to
be held at Kilkenny to-morrow.
The Privy Council, summoned at four o'clock this
afternoon, did not sit, as the Royal assent to the
suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act had not arrived.
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN CLONMEL.
JULY 23.—The town has been thrown into a state
of great excitement by the news of this morning,
announcing Lord John Russell's intended motion on,
and the suspension of, the Habeas Corpus Act. We
are informed that a meeting of the Mitchel Club has
been suddenly called, to obviate which the Rev. Mr.
Henneberry called on the people from the altar at
the last mass to avoid all gatherings, and to go
straight home on leaving church.
(From the Dublin Evening Post.)
WATERFORD, JULY 24.—The arrival of addi-
tional troops, and other precautionary measures
adopted by the Government in this locality, had a
good effect, giving confidence to the well-affected
and deciding waverers. The panic is not so great :
several families, however, are leaving for England
and Wales.
THE STATE PRISONERS.

We understand that the superintendents have given
orders that the State prisoners be not henceforward
permitted to publish in their own journal, or in any
others, articles dated from Newgate, with their names
or signatures attached.

POLITICAL EXCITEMENT AT
LIVERPOOL.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.—FrODI 110 great
'preparations which are going forward on the part of the
Mayor and magistrates of Liverpool, it is evident that
they labour under the apprehension of an outbreak,
should the " Confederate Clubs" dare to resist the tre-
mendous powers with which the Lord-Lieutenant of Ire-
land has just been armed. Accordingly, special con-
stables continue to be sworn in; but as the inhabitants
have but little taste for facing pikes, great numbers of
extra police are being appointed. Plenty of recruits far
this business are coming forward, and they display the
most laudable zeal for "preserving the peace."
The military, of whom there are now upwards of
2,000 in Liverpool, are about to encamp at Everton, so
that they can command the town from that eminence.
The police are not only drilled to the use of the sword,
but they have had muskets placed in their hands, and
although they are not by any means as crack shots as
Kentucky men, still report speaks very favourably of
their progress in the manual and platoon exercise.
Several arrests have taken place of persons carrying
Two privates of the 89th were arrested last night for
shouting for repeal in the streets. They were lodged in
Bridewell.
A portion of the 89th sail for Ireland this afternoon.

MEETING OF THE CONFEDERATE CLUBS
IN MANCHESTER.
TUESAY EVENING.—The members of the several Con-
federate clubs met to-night in their respective club-
rooms, and proceeded thence, about nine o'clock, in
military order, to a large space of vacant ground adjoin-
ing the new Roman Catholic chapel on the Cheetham-
hill road.

The number present was very great. No speech was
delivered, but three cheers were given for " the cause,"
immediately after which the assembly dispersed.
The intention of holding the meeting having become
known to the authorities, steps were taken to prevent
any disorder.

REPEAL SYMPATHY IN BIRMINGHAM.
Bin-mum:um, TUESDAY.—Last night the inhabitants
of the Bull Ring were much surprised by the sudden and
unexpected appearance of a number of Chartists and
Repealers, who had marched in procession from a meet-
ing in the People's Hall, Loveday-street. The meeting
was not called by any public_announcement or demon-
stration, and would seem wave been the result of some
secret organization.' The nir4,bers have been estimated
by some at-2,000 ; others sky less ; but, from all wo can
learn, there were at least 800 men present. On arriving
at the Bull Ring, they commenced groaning and cheer •
ing; and before leaving, an announcement was made of
another meeting.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday, the 24th, the House was occupied
with a somewhat novel discussion on thcpanbject of mili-
tary dress. This has been supposed to be the provihee
of kings and tailors, and has not ordinarily been brought
before the popular branch of the Government. lam not
sure whether the result now was to effect any great ap-
proach towards sound principles. If a uniform is useful
for an army, officers ought to wear it as well as soldiers,
though it may be of finer materials, and bear the marks
of their rank. If soldiers are to wear red, officers ought
not to wear blue. If officers ought to wear blue, soldiers
should wear it also. The great mistake is in believing
that officers are not made for service in the field, but to
fill up ball rooms. This, and a desire to put money into
the pockets of lace-makers and army tailors, make the
source of any difficulty that exists.
On Tuesday the House met at twelve, and among
other things the Poor-law Union Charges Bill (No. 2)
was read a second time. lam informed your clause on
providing for the emigration of irremoveable paupers is
to be treated in Committee.
On the same evening came on the motion of the
Member for Southwark (Sir W. Molesworth) on the
Colonial Expenditure. There can be no doubt of its
being very salutary to a Government to be met occa-
sionally by a motion of this kind. It cannot fail to
convince them of some points en which it is ex-
pedient to increase seal, and some where it is
necessary to abandon cherished errors. But
viewing the whole in the light of an attack,
the Government maintained the best position of the two.
Among other things the assault was let down, by a per-
petual appeal to the hateful claim of " the Anglo-Saxon."
When the Irish leader, under circumstances of irritation,
threw about him the "Saxon" as a term of reproack, he
was excused on the ground of temptation. But there is
no excuse for in cool blood and without temptation,
throwing about a phrase which is a declaration of war
against the Scotch, the Irish, the Welsh, the Canadian,
and every man who does not happen to be of the blood
and family of the speaker. In common life a man will
not get forward who interlards his conversation with

fixed upon it, and it is now the standard and acknowledged book of

edition is enlarged and amended, and contains lists of the Orders of
