agreement by which we could get the message forwarded
immediately waR, that we gave the copyright to the
company, for them to use as they pleased, with the un-
derstanding, however, that the papers mentioned were
not to be charged.
"We thought it advisable to accede to these toms, con-
sidering that delay would be serious.
"Mr. Rushton, the stipendiary magistrate, called this
morning and begged that I would lend him the enclosed
documents, as their authencity was doubted. I did so,
and a meeting of the authorities immediately took place.
After much deliberation, the Mayor dispatched a mes-
senger to the Holyhead telegraph (not electric), re-
questing that, on the arrival of the mail boat off that
station, they would signal to her for intelligence. He
also gave orders for the defence of the town.
" Great excitement prevails, though the intelligence is
very much doubted.

"The Dublin letters forwarded in this evening's par-
cel were brought by the cargo boat Roscommon, which
arrived after train time this morning.
" The captain of this boat says, that just as he was
starting two gentlemen came on board, who stated that
they had expressed down to Kingstown, expecting to
beard the mail-boat, but that she had started ; they
therefore returned to Dublin, and came by the Ros-
common, which leaves half an hour after the mail.

" The Mayor has just called upon me to request that
I would open your Dublin correspondent's letter. After
much earnest pressing I consented, and he went away
intending to publish and forward a statement to Govern-
ment that no such intelligence was contained in your
Dublin correspondent's letter. I trust that this will be
a sufficient excuse for having taken the liberty.
" There are so many statements as to the manner in
which this information was brought to Liverpool, that it
is utterly impossible to say which is correct. Willmer
and Smith and myself are the only ones that rdceived
the intelligence.
" The arrival of this evening's mail will decide whe-
ther the news is correct."

DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING.
Mr. P. O'Higgins, a confederate and Chartist
agent, was arrested for high treason this day; a large
quantity of arms was seized at his house. Thetre are
several other arrests.
No actual attempt at insurrection has occurred in
the south, but there is a rumour that 10,000 insur-
gents are assembled at Mullinahone, and that Smith
O'Brien is there. The military had gone there to
arrest him. A collision was apprehended. I think
there are less grounds for alarm, although Cork,
Clonmel, and other places are in a state of great
excitement.
There has been a severe run on the Bank for gold.
Government Securities advanced per cent. to-day
in Dublin. .
The city is perfectly tranquil.
WATERFORD, JULY 26.
The alarming rumours afloat in this city
throughout yesterday were in some degree quieted
by the arrival of the car from Carrick-on-Suir,
at eight o'clock, PAL, which brought word
that Carrick was tranquil ; but no intel-
ligence could be had of the 'whereabouts
of Messrs. Meagher and O'Brien. So great was the
excitement here that about 2,000 persons awaited
the arrival of the car, and the authorities had what
soldiers were left in the barracks under arms, and
they were not numerous, as a large reinforcement
went to Carrick at three o'clock ; and the mail
steamer Pigmy had her steam up even throughout
the night, to convey intelligence to the fleet at Cove
of any outbreak that might occur. The Stromboli
steam-vessel arrived from the fleet, and with the
Rhadamanthus lies in the river, their guns pointed
towards the city. Smith O'Brien and Meagher are
between Carrick and Cashel—at one time here, at
another there. They have resolved not to be arrested
alive, and will keep to the inland towns. It need not
surprise you soon to hear that Tipperary—from Clog-
been to Roscrea—shall be up in arms ; the fight is
most likely to begin there.
A 20-gun ship has just arrived, and more are ex-
pected.
