II seems tolerably certain that we are on
the eve Of an insurrection, whether it has en-
ploded or not. Reluctant as we are to say
any thing inculpatory of the government at
such time, we cannot but express our sur
prise that Lord Clarendon should have allow
ed the leaders of the League to have left
Dublin, knowing as he must have known that
the announcement of Lord John RusselPs mea-
sures would be the sequel of the crisis. If
he could not have arrested them legally, he
should have exceeded his legal power to do
so, and asked for an indemnity. However
that is past now, and they are at liberty to
fight
The West and North are comparatively
free from the contagion, though from very
different reasons. The accounts which we
receive from Kerry, Clare, and nearly the
whole of Cannaught, are favorable as regards
present tranquility and the apparent absence
of excitement among the people. In these
counties the people are more primitive, more
subject to the influence of the clergy, (which
is at present exerted to prevent rebellion and
more affected by physical depression of ex-
treme distress.
The organization of the clubs has in very
few instances been extended to the west of
the Shannon, nor have we heard, except in
Galway, of any preparations being made for
insirrection Certainly no alarm is felt among
the gentry.
Ulster is safe-the demonstrations of loyalty

Of any outbreak in that province. We do not
even expect partial rising there In the north

them less prone to the wild excitement OF the
Celtic South, but they are thoroughly anti

if they saw a chance of success.

hearing of movements in South Meath, West
Meath, and even Dublin and Wicklow. On
the whole, however, there seems reason to
suppose that at first the insurrection will be
confined to six or seven counties, viz: Cork,
Waterford, Limerick, Tipperary and Kings.
Nothing that we have heard gives us reason
to apprehend that it ought to be either diff
ficult or tedious matter to deal with the two
menaced provinces, where there are nearly
10000 troops and 5000 constabulary forces.
and Notwithstanding all rumors 10 the contra
ry, we are convinced that the latter will fight
as well as the former.
The Lord Lieutenant has issued procla-
nation for suppressing the clubs.
During the week the Mayor and Magistrate
have been actively engaged in raising con.
stabulary forces, and this body now numbers
10000.
