conviction shall be had, the clubs are to rise immediately
and prevent the trial by an anticipatory, and, as they hope,
a successful outbreak. One word we must add, the 20,000
muskets above mentioned will cost alone, by the time they
are delivered in Ireland, fully £lO,OOO. How and whence
are the enormous sums to make these purchases obtained ?
It can only be explained by the supposition that the os-
tensible instigators of rebellion in Ireland are clandestinely
backed by men of large resources.

DUBLIN, WATERFORD, AND CORK PROCLAIMED,—
RESCUE OF PRISONERS AT CARRICK-ON- SUIR.—A Privy
Council was held at Dublin Castle on Tuesday afternoon,
at which the Lord Chancellor, Sir E. Blackeney, the Re-
corder of Dublin, and the Attorney-General were present.
The Lord Lieutenant presided. The Council agreed to
put into operation the provisions of the " act for the bet-
ter prevention of crime and outrage in certain parts of
Ireland," and have accordingly issued a proclamation
against the city and county of Dublin, the city and county
of Waterford, the city and county of Cork, and the county
of the town of Drogheda. The proclamation takes effect
on and after the 22nd of July instant. Although Dublin
is much excited by this vigorous step, no disposition to
commit a breach of the peace has been manifested
there. Adoring, and, we may add, successful effort to
trample upon the constituted authorities, has just taken
place elsewhere. A priest, the Rev. Father Byrne, was
committed for sedition, and committed to Carrick-on-
Suir, preparatory to his committal to the county jail.
The mob no sooner heard of the arrest than they immedi-
ately set to and rescued the reverend prisoner, and also
liberated all the other prisoners. The military did not in-
terfere, as it appears that they were without orders how
to act on the occasion.

estmeatn, in toe vicinity of Ealimahown, has
been suffering from the depredations of an infa-
mous band of nocturnal freebooters, known as Kil-
lian, Larkin, and Co., and, notwithstanding the un-
ceasing exertions of the constabulary in both counties,
the practised desperadoes continued in their career with a
degree of adroitness which long enabled them to evade
detection. At length, however, the intrepid conduct of a
girl, whose years scarcely number sixteen, has effected the
object of breaking up this evil and extensive confederacy.
On Thursday night the gang broke open an outhouse be
