LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, !
September l6-lf A. NJ.

Our special express messengers from Dublin
and the disturbed districts in the South Of Ireland
have just this instant reached Liverpool, and as
they are the bearers OF some rather important in
telligence, we hasten 10 suboin an outline.
Another, aud more determined outbreak than
that OF MullnahOne has actually broken out in
parts of the South of Ireland, and although our
messengers are not disposed To place implicit reli-
ance on all the rumors which they heard respecting
this sHiuie, either as 10 lis origin extent, they
are, nevertheless, fully convinced hat thousands
Ol the people are up in arms against the govern
ment, and that already more diminishing has taken
place between the police and the insurgents In
fact, they learn that loss of life has already taken
place at a district called Glenlower, about sight
miles iIom Clonmel, where the police were at
tackled, and a short fight ensued: three of the reb-
els are reported 20 DC killed, and two or three of
the police wounded.
The police aSe reported 10 have fed from the
out-saliOn, leaving their barracks 10 the teEder
mercies OF the insurgents Ii is now confidently
asserted that three pieces OF cannon were actually
captured by the insurgents, in a successful attack
on CunaghmOre House, the seat OF the Marquis
OF Waterford Among the insurgents who were
repulsed in the attack ON the police station, at
GienOlweT, number are said 10 have WON the
uniform of the SD club During the attack on
the police station, al Portland, the Rev. Mr. Mel
dicot, J. P, rector of the parish, contrived to eff
feet an entrance into the bauack, from the rear,
and, it is said, rendered essential service, by
cOuragng the police TO offer vigorous resistance.
| Our messengers, who have made particular in-
quiries as 10 the extent OF the present outbreak,
inform us that they find that system Of secret
| ganzation has been extensively carried on, not
only in the districts where rebellion has burst
forth, but even in quarters which present an
aspect OF perfect tranquility, and this they infer
from the fact that Messrs. Doheny and o. COT
mon, about whom variety of contradictory re-
ports have been disseminated, were in the imme-
date neighborhoOd of, if not within, the city,
certain evening last week. An opinion prevails
| in several quarters that the present movement is
merely a social one, stimulated by poverty, and
not intended for the assertion of any political right
Mr.. Meagher has retained the services Of Mr..
kirwen, of Thurles, his solicitor and that gen
teman is At present engaged in preparing his de-
fence. Meagher feels Indifferent as TO the charge,
as he cannot be identified one of the insurgents
| at BalingaTry. .'
From The inquiries which our reporters have
made respecting the approaching State trials, we
| find the government contemplate carrying on the
/ prosecutions in the most vigorous manner, though
as 10 the ultimate fate of the persons be put on
trial, If convicted, nothing but vague eonecinres
can be hazsrled, which il would be out of place
| for MS TO trouble you with.
The case of Mr.. McManus, who was spprehend-
ed at Cork, is supposed 10 be one on which the
| crown lawyers deem the materials for a prosecJI-
ton TO be very strong; and in reply 20 al inquiry
from him as TO the nature of the charge of which
| he stands accused, he has been informed, IN a
short formal reply from the crown solicitors office,
that he will be pnt on his trial for high treason.
We are informed that he had been eight days at
| sea, on his voyage TO America, when the vessel in
which he had embarked was obliged TO put back
| from stress of weather; and on taking shipping o
second time, at Cork, he was arrested. We be-
| lieve that his business here, forwarding and
commission agent AID general broker, produced
him some E12U0 year.
We must not omit to state that no less than Is
OF the Sd Bluffs have been arrested and commit
ted 10 jaii, for shouting repeal
As considerable anxiety and curiosity is felt re-
specting the fact of Lord John Rursell being SUM
monedas witness on behalf of Mr.. Smith D Bri-
| en-, we directed our Dublin messenger TO make
some inquiries on the subject, and he reports as
follows:-"As soon Lord John Russell has been
placed on the witness table, he will be handed fol
recognition certain autograph notes OF his own
