nearly f250,0O0 sterling the goods from France
consisting Of merchandise Of the most costly char
acter
The news brought by the America is of the ut
most importance. The crisis 50 long expected in
Ireland has nearly arrived, and we may expect
every moment 10 receive news OF a terrible insur
recti0n. The organization of the clubs proceeds
rapidly, surely and effectively, and they seem TO
paftahe to a great extent of a military character
$4,000 conf5derates, it is said, ready to take
the field, well armed equipped and munitiOned, and
il is also stated that 10000 stand of arms had been
Purchased in London for the use of the Irish insur
gents. At Carrcl, the people and the authorities
had already come into collision; but the former
achieved bloodess victory, by compelling the re-
lease Of those of their number who had been
rested.
The Mutton still continues its Instructions in
military iacIics, and if It's lessons not thrown
away the confederates will enter the field with at
least The knowledge, not the practical experience,
Of veterans. Among the arrests which have re-
Gently been made, We find the names Of Alessrs.

IRELAND.
A Priyy Council was held at Dublin Castle on
the 18th at which the Lord Lieutenant presided,
when it was resolved to proclaim the following
places under the Coercion Act:-County and city
| of Dublin county and city of Cork, county and
city Of Waterford, and county and town OF Dro-
| gheda
| Kilkenny.
The cautionary notice Of the police against the
purchase of - seditiUus newspapers had no effect
Mr. Smith O'Brien has been active in organizing
| clubs in Drogheda as Messrs Meagher and Do
! heny, in Tipperary and Waterford.
The club organization Is daily assuming more
| alarming aspect-nOre secret in the mode Of pro-
| ceeding, but more concentrated and sytenatlzed,
whilst branch clubs are extending far and wide into
| the rural districts
The recent proceedings in Waterford and Linn
erick, in connection with the prosecution against
| Mr.. T. F. lIeagher, have shown how difficult it is
for the leaders to restrain the cubsts from pre-
mature outbreak.
| The Government along with a strong body of
! conslabulary are concentrating troops in Water
! ford and its neighbOrhOOd. Troops have marched
| from Wexford in that direction, and from Kilkenny
this morning The place Of the latter IN Kilkenny
| is occupied by companies of the I'D, from Carlow
There is artillery both at Waterford and ClOnnel
In addition TO the police force despatched yesterday
! by the Rhadamanthus steamer, regiment OF IN
| fantrv is ordered up from Belfast, per the Duchess
| of Kent chartered for the purpose, and has also
! been despatched. Cabin IS 10 supply some troops
! Of cavalry.
| There has been a brush . at Carrick-On-Suir
| A Clonmel correspondent thus describes the affair
| 1.-The Carrick people on hearing Of the arrest OF
some of the club members, and the runOr that one
of their own curates was marked out for arrest
rose en- hlaSSe, and with arms in their hands, con
sisting of rifles and pixies repaired to the author-
fies and demanded the release Of the prisoners who
| We're OF once delivered up to them.
They then rlng the chapel bells when 1000
men descended from the neighbOrng hills, armed to
! the teeth, who remained at CarrlCk all night, lest
an attempt should be made to arrest Father Byrne.
The delivery of the prisoners, and the withdrawal
/ of the few troops were considered triumph
| There is no installing the national feeling.
The intelligence Of the rising at Carrick-on-Suir
| was received all through Iipperary with enthu-
sasm. On Monday night the mountains were all
! in a blaze with fires from SlievcblOOm TO Slieyena-
mon, and the peasanry crowded around them in
| large masses.
The cheering along the Waterford range was
distinctly heard at CIonmel, and the clubs turned
| ont to do homage to the general enthusiasm.
The last club procession in Cork brought the
! leaders in contact with the authorities, and the
result has been the arrest o. Messrs. Varlan,
! Bourke Lane, and J. O'Brien.-all on charges OF
sedition. The arrest took place on Tuesday The
parties We're all admitted to bail.
/ The purchase and manufacture of arms are pro-
ceeding rapidly
Last week eighty stand Of arms were purchased
by the Dr. Doyle Club, Of which MIR. Duffy, of the
Nation, is the President 10000 stands Of disused
military flint muskets have been purchased in Lon
over in patches.
Hyland the noted pke-maker, has left Dublin for
/ Carlow, with a large consignment Of pixies.
A Cork paper says that 1872 600 confederates,
armed, ammutioned and drilled are waiting but for
The word to rise. The Sth of August is named as
the day for rising A circular to this effect, signed
by one Of the 8 Felons" now in custody, was read
before one of the Dublin clubs. It's now arranged
that if upon Inc formation of the jury to try Duffy
or his fellows, it shall appear probable thara con
viction will be had, the clubs to rise immedl-
aiey and prevent the trial by anticipatory, and
as they hope, successful outbreak The rebels
have prepared a map OF the city of Dublin, subdi-
vided into districts, in each of which the points al
which the clubs are respectively TO muster, and
where the banicades to be thrown up, are ndi-
Gated.
The accounts, on the 20th, from Tipperary and
other paris of The South, regarding the preparations
for outbreak, are OF a very serous and alarming
character.
Mr.. Meagher availed himself of the privilege
conferred upon him by tie Saxon law, and has
traversed Pr0r. until the next assizes in Limerick
He is actively engagedin the formation and address
