We lind the following highly interesting
despatch in the New York papers, which
brings the commercial and political advices
down to the latest moment:
LIVERPOOL, September l6, ii A. NJ.
Our special express messengers from Dublin
andthe disturbed districts in the South of Ire
land, have just this instant reached Liverpool,
and as they are the bearers of some rather i'm
portant intelligence, we hasten to subjoin an
outline.
Another, and more determined outbreak than
that of Mullinahone has actually broken out in
parts of the South of Ireland and although our
messengers are not disposed TO place implicit
reliance on all the rumors which they heard
respeotin this emute, either as To its origin or
extent, they are, nevertheless, fully convinced
that thousands of the people are up in arms
against the government, and that already more
skirmishing has taken place between the po
lice and the insurgents. In fact, they learn
that loss of life has already taken place at a
district called Glenlower, about eight miles
from Clonmel, where the police were attacked;
and short fight ensued, three of the rebels are
reported 10 be killed, and two or three of the
police wounded.
The police are reported to have fed from
the out-station, leaving their barracks TO the
tender mercles of the insurgents. 1t is now
confidently asserted that three pieces of can
non were actually captured by the insurgents,
in a succe ssful attack on Curraghmore House,
the seat of The Marquis OF Waterford. Among
the insurgents who were repulsed in the al
tack Of the police station, at Glenowler, a num-
Der are said TO have worn the uniform OF The
SD club. During the attack on the police
station, at Portland, the Rev. MIR. Meldicot, J.
P, rector Of the parish, contrived 10 effect an
entrance into the barrack, from the rear, and,
ii is said rendered essential service, by encour
aging the police to offer vigorous resistance.
| Oar messengers, who have made particular
inquiries as to the extent of the present out
break, inform US that a system of secret organl-
zation has been extensively carried on, not on
ly in the districts where rebellion mas now
burst forth, but even In quarters which present
an aspect OF perfect tranquility, and this they
infer from the fact that Messrs. Doheny and
lO'Gorman, about whom variety OF conuadic-
tory reports have been disseminated, were in
the immediate neighborhood OF, if not within,
the city, on certain evening last week. An
Iopinion prevails n several quarters that the
lpresent movement is merely social one ,stim-
lulaied BY poverty, and not intended TOR the
assertion of any political right.
!. MIR. Meagher has retained the services OF
MIR. kirwen, of Thures, as his solicitor, and
that gentleman Is at present engaged III pre-
loaring his defence. Meagher feels Indifferent
as to the charge. as he cannot be identified as
one OF the insurgents at Ballingary
From the inquiries which our reporters have
made respecting the approaching State trials,
we FIND the government contemplate carrying
lon the prosecutions In the most vigorous man
ner, thougLJ as TO the ultimate fate Of the per
sons TO be put on trial, if convicted. nothing
hut vague comeciures can be bearded, which
lit would be out of place for us TO trouble YOU
with
The case of Mr. McManus, who was appre'
blended al Cork, is supposed to be one on Yhicf
the crown lawyers deem the materials Tor a
prosecution 10 be very strong; and In reply &c
an inquiry from him as to the nature oil the
charge Of which he stands accused, he has beer
informed, in short formal reply from the SO
licitor's office, that he wi. put on his trial fo'
thigh treason. We are informed that he hat
been eight days at sea, on his voyage 10 Amer
lea, when the vessel In which he had EN- 5arkeC
was obliged TO put back from stress of wettae
and on taking shipping second time, at Cork
he was arrested. We believe that his buslnes,
here, as forwarding and commission agent
and general broker, produced him some fl20C

We must not omit to state that no less than
; % of the 81 Bluffs have been arrested and com
mitted to Jail, for shouting repeal.
As considerable anxiety and curiosity is felt
respecting the fact of Lord John RUSSELL being
summoned as witness on behalf of Smith
O'Brien, we directed our Dublin messenger 10
make some inquiries on the subject, and he re
