DESPERATE AND FATAL CONFLICT BETWEEN THE

POLICE AND PEASANTRY.

DUBLIN, Juwe I.—The following letter, which describes a fear-
ful conflict between the " Molly Maguires" and the police, in the
most disturbed district of the county of Leitrim, reached here this
morning. The fullest reliance may be placed on its accuracy:—

_
" Mohill, Saturday Evening.
" A dreadful affray has just taken place in the vicinity of this
town, which, unfortunately, fully burs out the description of the
condition of this part of the country, given a few nights since in the
House of Commons, by Lerd Clements, during the debate on Lord
John Russell's motion.

" A party of police, having gone in search of some delinquents,
observed a number of men (' Molly Maguires') armed in a field.
The constable in command sent into the station for a reinforce-
ment, and on their arrival the police rushed forward. The
Molly Maguires' fired at the police, who returned the fire, shoot..
ing one man through the heart, and wounding others. The
` Molly Maguires' fled, and the police gave chase, but the country
people got out of their reach. The police subsequently returned
to the field, and were taking away the body of the man shot, for
the purpose of identification, when the country people, greatly re-
inforced, came up and attacked them, rescued the body of their
fallen companion, and put the police to flight. The second on.
slaught was desperate. The police, who were greatly inferior in
number, found it impossible to cope with their assailaots.
" Mr. Veevers, the stipendiary magistrate, was pelted with
stones when he interposed.
" This lamentable affair has produced a deep sensation and
much alarm in this part of the county of Leitrim."
REPEAL COMMEMORATION—REJOICINGS IN THE
CO 11 NTR Y.
There are accounts, this morning, of bonfires, Illuminations, and
other modes of rejoicing, in various parts of the south, to com-
memorate the anniversary of the imprisonment of Mr. O'Connell
and the other defendants on the State trials.

On Friday evening last the annual meeting of the
Governors of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest
took place at the Board-room, in Great Marlborough-street, Captain
Gordon in the chair. The report read by the secretary of the pro-
ceedings of the past year was highly sattsfactory, and was adopted
unanimously; as was also the report of the building committee of
the new hospital now in progress, at Brompton. After the announce-
ment of several very handsome donations, thanks were voted to the
Gallant Chairman, and the meeting broke up. The Right Rev. the
Bishop of Lineoln has kindly intimated his intention of preaching a
sermon on Sunday morning next, at the church of St. John, Clap.
ham, In aid of the funds of this hospital. On the same morning, and
for tha same charitable intent, a sermon will be preached by the
lion. And Rev. Robert Eden, M.A., &c., at the church of St. Mary,
Battersea.

There are various ship arrivals from different parts of the
world, but the dates they bring are not generally later than
those already to hand.
The Mexican correspondence received by the Committee
of Spanish American Bondholders has given much satisfac-
tion, the agency being changed from the firm. of Messrs.
Lizardi to that of Messrs. Schneider and Co.
As an instance of the facility of correspondence afforded by
railroads and steamers, and the assistance rendered to the
mercantile interests thereby, we may mention. that a letter
advised by a merchant in London to Smyrna on the 7th May
last, was received and replied to on the 18th, and the answer
was in the merchant's hands on the 2d June ; and, had: not
Sunday intervened, twenty-five days would have barely
elapsed during the transit to and from Smyrna.
A considerable amount of business has been transacted in
British Securities to-day. Consols for the Account have ad-
vanced to 1001, and for Monet to 100%. The value of the
latter has since fallen 4 per cent. ; all the other Stocks are
firm.

The value of Mexican Stock is well supported, and has
been advanced to 38% 1/2. Brazilian new Bonds have been
firm at 871. Spanish Five per Cents. are 3014 to 29%,
being at present less firm than they were when the market
opened. The Three per Cents. have been 424 to %.
Dutch Four per Cents. are 981,1, and Russian bonds 118.
The Share market is very firm this morning with a great
and good demand
