DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND.

FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING POST.
DREADFUL AFFAIR.
Tuesday Afternoon, Four o'clock.
We learn, with great affliction, that there has been
a most serious affair between the military and the in-
surgents near Kanturk. The troops were commanded
by Sir JouN I...tAtnEttr. It is stated in letters that we
have seen, that the insurgents had 13 men killed,
And it is said that the army also suffered. but not so
considerably. The country between Millstreet and
Nlacronm may be said to be in possession of the
insurgents.
We have just learned, that an affair has occurred
in the neighbourhood ( Millstreet between the pea-
santry and a part of the Rifle Brigade : probably that
referred to in the preceding report. • The peasantry
attacked the house of a man of the name of Armit.
While the attack was going-on, a party of the Rifle!
Brigade came up. The peasantry farmed ; bat on
a signal givers, rushed down the bill. The military
fired—killed six ; the remainder fled in disorder ;
and thirty aie stated to have been made prisoners.

TRALRR, JANUARY 26.
The non-arrival of the Cork Mail in this town for
the last two days, has produced considerable anxiety,
as• it is supposed that the insurgents have pre-
vented its progress. As the communication between
this town and Cork is completely interrupted, we are
principally indebted to the accounts from Limerick,
received this morning, for whatever information we
possess. As soon as it was understood yesterday in
Killarney, that the arrival of the coach had been pre-
vented by the 41'embling of a body of insurgents on
the road, the detachment of the S9th Regiment, quar-
tered in that town, under the command of Major
D'ARCY, and a small party of dragoons, with a body
of 40 or 50 Gentlemen well armed, proceeded to-
wards Millstreet, for the purpose of reconnoitering
them. The greatest anxiety prevailed, we under-
stand, in Killarney on this occasion. We have an
account up to six o'clock yesterday evening from Kil-
larney, at which time it was not known whether the
military had conic in contact with the insurgents-.
A letter in the Cori Mercantile Chronicle of Mon-
day, stases, that in the rencontre between Colonel
MITCHELL'S party and the Whitehoys on Friday, one
of the latter was killed, and 29 taken prisoners.—
These, with the 21 taken on Thursday, were sent,
under a strong escort, to Cork

Wednesday and yesterday Cabinet Councils were
held at the Foreign Office, in Downing street, which
were attended by all the Cabinet Ministers, except
that of yesterday, at which the Duke of WELLINoros
was not pre.ent. The Council of Wednesday assem-
bled at half-past two o'clock, and broke up about
four. The Cabinet Council of yesterday was unex•
pectedly summoned. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY
having left town after the separating of the Cabinet
Ministers on Wednesday, sent orders at a very early
hour yesterday morning to summon the Cabinet
Council, from his seat at North Cray, in Kent. The
Cabinet assembled in the Foreign Office at half-past
two o'clock, and continued in deliberation only about
an hour.
