IRELAND,

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—We yesterday had put into
our hands two letters dated 22nd inst., from gentlemen in
Waterford from which we take the following extracts.
They show the melancholy condition to which that un-
happy country is reduced, when the peaceable inhabitants
are compelled to fly for safety. One gentleman says—

" I intend to-morrow morning to take my family over per
Mail packet to Milford, and leave them there -

for some

time, until the times look more quiet. I shall return on
Tuesday. A good many others are also going, and num-
bers leave daily. The Bristol packet yesterday was very
full. There is a regular packet here, and 1 have no doubt
we shall have a row, but I don't think it will last long."
Another gentleman (who is a relative of a clergyman in
this town) writes—" We are in a state of great alarm
here. Nothing but the most energetic exertions of the
Government can prevent open rebellion. 1 suppose that
but few men of the labouring and operative classes are
not enrolled in clubs and armed. Pikes are manufactur-

tions of the woods between Carrick and Clonmeran-

A Belfast paper mentions that, a few days since, a very
large brown eagle, which measured seven feet ten inches
from tip to tip of the extended wings, was trapped by a
gamekeeper on the Carey mountains, in the neighbour-
hood of Ballycastle.
Accounts from Waterford state that the excitement con-
sequent on the Carrick outbreak had wholly subsided.
Troops were expected in great numbers. Heights outside
the city had been rented by the government for the pur-
poses of a camp, and temporary fortifications are to be
erected. _ _ _

EMIGRATION OF FEMALE PAUPERS. On Monday
morning last, twenty-three young girls, belonging to the
Magherafelt Union Workhouse, Tyrone. left that estab-
lishment, in order to proceed to Australia, under the
Government emigration grant. They were previously
fitted out with necessary clothing by the Guardians.

On Monday a rumour was circulated in Kilkenny that
Dr. Cane, one of the leading confederates of that city,

in a very short time threw up a pair of formidable barri-

THE JACOBIN LEADERS.-Mr: Smith O'Brien has ad-
dressed several meetings of the clubs at Drogheda and
Navan, and also appeared on Wednesday at a meeting of
the " Irish League," in Dublin. His language was sedi-
tious or treasonable, but was less so than the furious
harangues of his fellow-agitator, Mr. Doheny. who is
employing himself in agitating the confederates of Tippe-

g other meetings which he has attendedims

If the " Felon" journals are to be suppressed, more vi-
gorous steps must be employed than those which have been
heretofore adopted. Nothing can be more ridiculous than
to see policemen squabbling with miserable news-hawkers
for their stock of papers. This mode of suppressing a nui-
sance is absolutely contemptible. Besides, it is ineffective,
for, after all the activity of the police, how many scores of
