News by the Niagara.


England demands the attention in the iutelli-
rence by the Niagara, that Ireland and France
have by turns before commanded. To Amer.
cans the movements of the Chartists in the Ulni-
led Kingdom and the rise in bread stuils arc the
more prominent features Of the present news
The argus. eyed Government, that never sleeps
because il can never sullor itself 10 sleep in safe
Nv, has perfect knowledge Of the plots Of the
,iisaflectcd at home; and by the timely exercise
of its powers will undoubtedly prevent their be-
ing perfected. The up-turnings on the CONT
nent and the ngitations in lrelnnd have cncour-
aged all the wild spirits and disafiected minds oil
England to sec what can be done by similar
manifestations there; and with less vig'lant
Government and less loyal people, serious con
scouences nfrht indeed be unprecedented But
the evils that the English labor under, Il seems
10 US, can only be assuaged or removed by a
moral revolution. The phrcnzed efforts that
the reckless gangs Of in most cases, uninfuen-
iial and claracterless persons, under the name
OF Chartists, arc now making in various sections
of the kingdom, can only end in their own dis
grace and tho strengthening of the Government.
John Bull revolutionizcs through Parliament,
not by barricades and pixies he gets along slow

As for the Irish rebellion, Il is all over. There
is more Of il in this country ut this moment than
in all Ireland There was no concert, no lead
crs worth the name, no anything in iact that
could give assurance Of triumph to the people
of Ireland in the nbortiyc struggle that is now
over The thing died in being born-dicd in
fact before it was born. II must therefore be a
matter of regret that it was attempted-for the
moral force Of the so called triumph Of the Brit
ish will, most likely, delay any more promising
and reasonable efforts to secure larger share of
liberty and justice to oppressed Ireland, than she
at present tries to exist under.
The circumstances which led 10 the arrest of
Mcaghcr and his associates, were as follows: n

near Thurles, a party Of three persons, dressed
MS peasants The police salnted them in pass
ing saving GOOD night, boys" and were replied
to in the usual terms having proceeded some
twenty yards or so, ii occurred to the party that
they might be persons against whom an accusa-
ton rested, or at least capable OF nIordlng nior-
nation. They therefore returned and overlook
the party, who did not appear anxious 10 clndc
them. Having como up with them, the police
sergeant thought he knew the person OF one,

Mcaghcr made no reply, either in assent or de-
NAL, and was instantly arrested as the Queens
