Later and Most Astounding Intelligence
from Ireland-The Crisis Approaching
Conspiracy To Massacre the Protestants
Throughout ireland.
We have received private letters from Dublin,
conveying intelligence whose accuracy IS sus-
tanned by persons connected with the Vice-Royal
government, and which is Of the most alarming
character 1t appears that the trial of O'Connell
has been determined on as the signal for some 81
multaneous outbreak all over the Kingdom. In
some quarters a general massacre of the Protes-
tants has been darkly limited at; and the firing of
the CITY of Dublin, and similar attempts In the
principal cities and towns, spoken of in other
quarters as having been agreed upon. These and
other rumors OF the same astounding description,
are circulating every where, and we need scarce
ly adj excite the utmost CONSERVATION and alarm.
Meanwhile the British government are pouring
troops and munitions of war into Ireland, and
every possible preparation has been made TO resist
any popular outbreak.
But the present state Of things in that long dis
tracted country, will be at once perceived more
clearly from the statements in the letter referred
to, which we accordingly annex, and whose sccu-
racy is, we repeat, unqueslionabe:

This letter presents condition of affairs on the
other side of the Atlantic, Of which the news
papers give inklipg and this, indeed, is
very remarkable and significant sign. The papers
are afraid Just now to meet those rumors boldly
and openly. This very quiet, and apparent absence
of all aarm-at least of all public manifestation OF
it's omnous and the movements OF O'Connell
himself, and the repeaers throughout the country,
are very expressive Nothing is so demonstratve
of the perfect, and universal organization OF the
disaffeced portion of the Irish people, as the I'M
broken submission, and implicit obedience uni
formly discovered to all the mandates of their
leaders, with respect to the observance of peace
and order O'Connell, himself, appears to be
keeping quietly aloof for the present
We should not be at all surprised to hear very
soon of some terrible commotion and outbreak in
Ireland. 1t is quite foolish to suppose that the
hatred of England and Professionalism, and excited
feeling, so artully nurtured and stimulated by poll
teal dcmagogues can be safely turned aside The
food-gates may burst open than many
imagine, and an awful scene of destruction be pro-
duced. We trust this calamity may long be avert
ed but the astounding intelligence, which we have
just given, has, necessarily, excited much appre-
hension, and we shall await, with great anxiety,
the next arrival from Europe.
NEw YoRK NEWSPAPERS AND THE MERCHANTS
The publication OF the late important intelligence
from Europe, demonstrated in very remarkable
manner the Incidence, inefficiency, and worthless
ness Of the Wall street papers, as contraste with
the cash papers published generally in the neigh
borhood Of the Park.
Great anxiety pervaded the whole commercial
community with respect to the news from Europe.
1t was looked for with intense interest Immense
quantities of cotton were held in the markets OF
this continent, awaiting the receipt of the account
of prices the other side of the Atlantic. Ameri-
can produce to the extent probably OF fifty millions
of dollars, and whose value was to be Influenced to
the extent of ten twelve millions additional, was
thus retained. Well, in these circumstances, what
did the Wall street papers dol They did not make
the slightest effort to procure the intelligence SO
anxiously expected, and which was to exercise
such important influence on the whole COM
mercial community. But the cash papers, on the
other hand, employed expresses at large expense,
brought the with the greatest possible expedi-
ton to this city, and containing all the i'm
portant issued especiallyfrom this office,
with the utmost promptitude, and despatched by
that evenings mail all over the country. And then,
next day, the Wall street papers, like lazy, worth
less, miserable concerns they are, and with cha
racteristic meanness, came out with abstracts Of
the foreign news, taken from the cheap, cash pa
pers. A more signal triumph of energy and enter
prize over Incidence and inetficiency, was never
exhibited.
