IRELAND.
Dublin, August 24-There is no doubt whatever,
as have been informed, that Mr.. Darcy Magee,
one of the most dangerous men among the tomen,-
ers of the late rebellion, has long since effected his
escape out of this country. He was sub-edltor OF
the Nation, and man Of extensive literary &C
quirements, which might, if devoted 10 DETER
cause, have gained for the possessor more enVla-
Bile reputation than that which now attaches to MS
name and fortunes. Mr.. Magee first fled to Scot,
land where he was recognized by friend, and
warned of the danger of long remaining there I'm
Glasgow, as the police were on his track TAX
ing the hint, he was next day invisible, and II Is
believed, that by this time, he is safe IN America,
where he previOusy well known for some
years as editor of one of the Boston newspapers
Mr. Devin Reilly, another of the msurgent chiefs,
is reported TO- have had equally good luck, and that
he, too, is among the fortunate missing but there
is no certainty of his destination beyond the seas
He was present with the insurrectonary force as
sembled at Slievenamons These gentlemen Were
only deemed worthy of not very hatterlng notice
in the Hue and Cry; but doubt much whether
the whole band of cOnspiratOrs contained two
more dangerous men, or two more likely to do
mischief in the event Of prouacted struggle with
the British Government.
August 25.-The official accounts received by
the Government up to last evening are scarcely as
favorable as the previous advices. The weather,
however, has much improved, and it is to be hoped
that the next reports will be of more satisfactory
nature. We have had two fine days here-a rare
occurrence since the month of May last-to
o'clock this morning there is no symptom of
breakup

The van drove off to Richmond Bridewell, where

Head Constable Mills, and left in charge of Head

| Arrest under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act.
! A young man of respectable appearance and adj
| dress, named Stewart Wright, was on Wednesday
last committed TO our county jail from Lurgan. We
rather think the arrest was made in Portadown He
is detained In prison undear warrant bearing the
sgn-manuel ofthe Lord Lieutenant, and the alleged
charge against him is, we believe, on suspicion OF
reasonable practices or correspondence.-Ib1d
| Arrest of one of Me Wounded at Ballingarry.-A
man, of the name of James Dwyer, was brought into
| Clonmel, on Thursday, and lodged iii the county
goal; he was Oithe insurgent band in the battle
| of Boulagh Common, and at Ballingarry, and had a
| dreadful wound in the right breast. Ever since The
affray he has been concealed III of the pits in the
vicinity of Boulagh and from informations received
by the authorities, he arrested down III the pit
| few days since, and conveyed to Killenaue, from
which place he was escorted into Clonmel.
The Felon - The Democrat, &c.
Our readers may, perhaps, remember that when
the Attorney General relied in the of Mr.. John
| Martin on the name of the FeLon as evidence OF
! guilt, Mr. Butt retoted on him with considerable
effect that if the name constituted guilt, her Ma
| esty's government were equally criminal, who en-
trapped the proprietor by permitting that name to be
registered at the Stamp Office, and the paper bear
! ing it to be sent free by post.
Struck by this reply, the jury enquired of the
| Chief Baron whether government had the power OF
| directing to the name before issuing the stamps
After some discussion the Chief Baron substantially
answered. that such power, if texisted, had never
| been exercised.
Without expressing any opinion as to the right Of
the government to refuse stamps to paper because
| they dislike its name we may mention, as matter
Of fact, that the power was very recently exercised.
The discussion in court has elected the fact that in
| April last-just before the time that the Feon was
recognized in Ireland-an application was made in
London to register newspaper under the title OF
1.-The Democrat and the applicant was informed
that no stamps could be issued to paper under
that title.
We have seen the handbills announcing the pub
LEGATION of the Democrat, and subsequent handbills
apologsing for its non-appearance on the ground
that the stamps had been refused, and would con-
tinue TO be refused unless the title would be changed

''The Dublin Evening Post will be happy tc
hear that Mr.. Richard O'GOrmon was in hands o.
Mr. Little, R. NJ, who, however, the Post will BE-
mortified to learn, let him slip through his fingers
or more properly, from his arm. Before the steam
boat was searched at the quay of Kilrush, as we
have already related, Mr.. Little and the police
were standing on the stones, devOuring with theil
eyes every male passenger who happened TO be
standing or sitting, walking or ounging on the decE
of the vessel. The plank was put out and the pas
sengers dsembarked, stepping out on the landing
with considerable alaclty, and walking the gaunt
let between the files of police There was an ole
lady, however, of sallow complexion, and dressed
some say, in black, who got out with some difficult
ty; and, tottering good deal, and complaining
not a ttle was making her way up the slip t
where Mr.. Little, R. NJ, happened to be standing
His attention was attracted, his galiantry was
reused, and he courteously descended, offered hi
arm and led the feeble old lady up to the landing
