Ireland Ireland abSorbs, al the pres
ent moment, the exclusive attention ol
the British ministry and the British peo.
pie. The Repeal movement continues to
make the most gigantic strides, the whole
country is in fearful state Of excite
ment, and Mr.. O'Connell, after visiting
Cork and various other parts OF Ireland
has returned TO Dublin. During his So
lourn in the provinces, hundreds Of thou
sands of his countrymen congregated a,
his back, and his progress resembled Q
continuous ovation from his outset until
his return. He addressed them, on every
occasion, in the most inhammatory strain
condemnatory Of the British connexion
while he poured out the most unmeas
ured yituperaton and ridicule against Sil
Robert Peel, the Duke OF Wellington anc
Lord Bspugham. The great bulk ofthe
Catholic clergy have thrown themselves
headlong into the movement, the reni
comes pouring in by thousands of pounds
per week, and all classes seem TO regard
acr,sis at hand. Whether, in this emer-
gency, Mr.. O'Connell will prove himself.
Fit TO command World,
And rule it when Ills widest,
time will show, but he has brought his
darling repeal panacca 10 pitch at once
fearful and sublime. If he now falcr in
his course, farewell, long farewell to
all his greatness" while a continuance
in his present policy must inevitably

menl and precipitate convuson. There
is no middle course. Troops are daily
pouring into the country; government
steamers are constantly engaged between
the Tower Of London and Pigeon-house,
Dublin, in carrying and landing arms;
the Castle. in the latter city is being
placed in state Of defence, and every
thing shows that the government antici-
pates an immediate outbreak.
Wales and Scotland.-The little prin-
cipality Of Wales has been giving some
uneasiness of late to ''the powers that be-. )"
The southern portion, more especially
has been the scene Of a series of emeues,
which show an unhealthy tone OF feeling
amongst the peasantry. Hitherto, their
depredations have been confined to mid
night crusades against toll-bars and toll
keepers, by bands Of coniederated labor
ers, yclept Rebecca and her Daughters;n
but recently, their 5oldness has become
more audacious and the magistrates
have it in contemplation to place the dis
turbed districts under military suryeil-
lance.
Scotland has been the scene OF reli-
gious movements, the most important IN
its consequences, the most extended In
its remitications, which has taken place
since the time Of the Reformation. Near
ly five hundred ministers--the hearts

are most distinguished for learning, tai
ents and energy-haye seeded from the
Kirk, and thrown themselves upon the
voluntary principle, rather than submit

Austrian Observer, announce that serious
disturbances have broken out in Bosnia.
The rebels attempted to get possession ol
the fortress Of Ostroschavitz, but alhey
were beaten off. They then surrounded
the three fortresses Of Ostroschavltz, ba-
koyilzo and Kraska, hoping to starve them
out. On the 18th, the Governor OF the
province assembled several troops at be-
haez, for the purpose Of operating against
the rebels, but.the river Klotot overflow
ed its banks, and his movements were |
consequently paralysed.
Hungary--The Hungarian journals an
nounce that the election OF deputies ior
the Comitat Of Marmara hadI given rise
TO sanguinary riot. A cry Of fire was
raised, the tocsin was rung, and stones
