Arrival of the America at New

little more than 10 days from Liverpool.
The weather has been generally favorable
for harvest operations, and accordingly, in
the Northern part Of England and in Scot
land, the crops have been secured in toer-
ably fair condition. The crops in Ireland
will be below an evernge, aud it is feared,
that after all, the potato crop will be found 10
have been much damaged.
There is very little news of interest from
England. The Queen, Prince Albert aud
Royal family are in Scotland. They landed
at Aberdeen, amid The most extruvngnnt de-
monstrations ofloyalty.
IRELAND.
The news from Ireland is important and
interesting. A new insurrection, caused, il
is said, by social and not political grievances,
has broken out in Carrick-on.S SUR.
The correspondent of the London Daily
News writes as follows all who were OH the
spot and had facilities for ascertaining the
facts agree in stating that the movement was
altogether of an agrarian character, and had
no political object whatever. The impelling
motives were poverty and privation, not the
hope of political amelioration.
The following letter, which contains the
latest news, we take from the Courier and
Enquirer:
LIVERPOOL, ION sept, 1870
The state of IRELAND hus assumed n new
phase, aud the slnmbering tranquility of the
South has suddenly burst forth into open in
sulrectiom The formidable demonstration
in which the peasaEtry are at this moment
engaged, is variously represented; but all ne
counts concur in showing that its extent far
exceeds any thing Of the kind attempted
since 1898 ; and that its probable issue is diff
fcult 10 be estimated. We cannot find that
it has arisen from political causes, but in the
present state Of the country il is utterly inn
possible that ii could continue long to be dis
scented from the ruling passion Of the day
Commencing, as i; did, in the agrarian dis
content which pervades the entire of the
South--the result of present want and pros
pective starvaton-we find that it speedily
allied itself to the smouldefng elements of
political violence, and that in the present out
break all the purposes ofa decided revolution
are uneqivoculy contemplated.
The Clonmel Chronicle adds:
"The most exciting reports reached Clon-
mel this morning of an outbreak ut Cerrck-
on-Suir. A man from that place came Into
Clonmel this morning in great haste, bring
ing with him all the money he could collect
to get gold for it. He DIES cribed Carrick us
being in an awful state. The hills all around
covered with armed men, who have forced
all the farmers to give barrels of bread, meat,
and other supplies, as well as arms and am
muniton. Many of them have been also
forced 10 JOIN the movement, and lie stated
that Carrick was to be taken forthwith
Not luborer was to he seen between Car
rick and Clonmel until he reached this town,
all have joined the rebels on the hills, who
are represented to number several thou
sands.
And in u Second Edition states:
"At Newton hill, the insurgents, il is be
Iieved, have formed an encampmeut, and |
am assured by person who travelled close
by ii, That it is covered with people. The
military have inrmed n camp close by. Last
night CurraghmorG was attacked by body
Of insurgents; for the purpose of taking the
swivel guns and cannon, with which the
Marquis of Waterford recently fortified it.
The Marquis sent for the troops, but did not
hear Of the result. A large body of Marines
left Waterford this morning, for the scene,
having been served out with biscuit aud meat
for some days; they were marched off by
Major General Macdonald, who is busiIy en-
gagged at that place,in the disposition of'troops
nj his command Every thing lends me TO
believe that we are on the eve of another in
surrection.
At Carrick the greatest excitement prevails
in consequence Of the belief there that the
bridge of Gruney had been thrown down to
still standing, but the hattlements are demol-
lshed and the roadway picked up. The 3D.
Bluffs and SD regiments, which were to pass
through here today, have been stopped at
Carrick and despatched to the scene of the
disturbance. A gentleman informed me
that at PiIllown two pieces of artillery had
arrived and large number of troops The
military which had been sent for to Carrck,
were returning towards Curraghmore horse
foot and artillery are now on the move in all
directions"
The report that the Neapoltan troops had
captured Messina is confirmed. The city
was bonn barded for five days and it is said
to be n heap fruins. This event took place
OH the 9Th. 1000 refugee inhabitants were
on board the English and French ships.
The English and French Admirals have
called on the Neapolitans not TO attack Pnler-
mo.
The Paris Assembly has rejected The pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution pledg-
ing the State to find labor for the working
people, by vote of $50 to 1877. The clos
ing part of the debate was most tumultu-
Gus.
The Clubs out of doors are reViving violent
proceedings. The return of Louis Napoleon
is said TO be certain and TO cause great en-
barrassnent. The LegitimistS and Orleans
ISIS will combine to elect Marshal Bugeaud.
