SEIZURE OF ARMS IN IRELAND.

The Sligo correspondent of the Dublin Mail reports *
seizure of arms made in the town of Tubbercurry. On
Saturday last a large barrel arrived at Ballymote, pur'
porting to come from Rawlinson, of Leeds. It was
directed to Robert Clarke, Tubbercurry Clarke
being the carrier between his home and Bally-
mote. The barrel was brought to Clarke's house, but
Clarke was not at home, and he did not expect the goods.
The barrel was finally opened; it was found to contain
rifles, swords, bayonets, and ammunition. Clarke imme-
diately communicated with the police. It is suspected
that some miscalculation made by the real consignee
did not come to meet the cask; and thus it fell into
the hands of the authorities. The police are " actively
inauirinc."

Sugar owing is said to be thriving amazingly in
New south Wales and Queensland.
The Echo states that the O'Donoghue has not, as
yet, received an appointment to a governorship.

A MOSLEM UONSPIRACY IN TUNIS.—A. general
belief, it is said, prevails in Tunis that the late outbreak
of fanaticism in that town was part of a conspiracy to
massacre the Christian and Jewish inhabitants,
and the Mahomedans that were in the em-
ployment of the Europeans. The plot was organised
by a few fanatical Moslems, and they intended to run
simultaneously through the streets, killing all obnoxious
persons who came in their way, and proclaiming' wsA
against the infidel. One fanatic carried out the scheme,
but was quickly arrested and executed, his con-
federates, for some unexplained reason, not having
come forward. While the body of the culprit was being
interred, a Dervish began inveighing against the Chris-
tians. He was at once arrested and received the Basq-
nado. The fanatic wounded no less than 32 persons in his
course, one of them being a child in arms and two others
Moors, in the service of the -United States, and thQ
Italian Consulatek
