New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1848-08-28

We have no room for extended comment on
the recent news from this country nor IS D. oeces
sary Things remain In pretty much tie same
situation they occupied at the sailing OF the pre-
vous steamer. The spirit OF Rebellion, lhouA b u
has made no great demonstration, IS not at all
crushed, aud but for the report that MEtGtEK DiL
Lon and REILLY have made proposition through
some Of the clergy to surrender themselves g.
save the lie Of WILLIAM SMITH BRIkN, We
should say that an Instruction is as prooao'e rs
ever In tact, the only item OF Intelligence by ihs
arrival is the arrest OF Mr. BRlEN.
As we supposed the British news received b.
the Cambria last week was IA many respects 4n
true. Smith O'Brien had not escaped 10 Amer ~
the JANE BLACK" nor had the handful Of ace
men van iuished thousand insurgents Il aPf ears
that at Ballingarry body OF policemen met about
an equal number OF peasants, aud after short
engagement agreed to surrender but taxi ADJ
vantage Of permission granted them TO stack Their
arms. they reiterated 20 a house. which tney tor
tilted. and which was saved from the iury Of the
people only By tie Interference Of Mr. BRlEN
aud the clergy.
The arrest or surrender of Mr. SMITH BRES
was certainly strange While he remained among
the people in the country the efforts OF she whole
British power aided by large rewards, were una
vailing to secure his arrest But it seems that
his generous nature revolted from the idea o.
endangering the lives OF the peasantry, who ran
the risk OF punishment for high treason iol
giving him shelter. We presume he expected T.
be arrested when he went to the THuRLEs Rail
way Station, but had some hopes that he might
reach Limerick, TO spend at least day or two
with his family before he was taken.
II MEAGHER aud his companions to save Mr..
O'BRiES delivered themselves up, presume
the rebellion will remain checked, but not extin-
guished-but we hardly know whether 20 believe
these reports or not. Ii what we have received
prove true. the leaders have not deceived the pe0.
pie this time but the people have deceived the
leaders We do not, however, place reliance upon
the news coming to US through anti.Irish sources
nor do we think it very probable that GoRMAN has
attempted to escape 10 this country. No matter
how the friends OF Monarchy may sheer, these
young Republican Irishmen have shown no signs
Of cowardice as yet
It will be seen that the trials OF DUFFY MAR
rIN, 'DoHERrY Sc. were progressing The At
torney General, and the other representatives, OF
the Crown are showing all signs Of harshness to
the Prisoners, but the latest accounts seem 10
make it doubtful whether the bloodthirsty Gov
eminent will be able to carry the first case. Tho
Jury were not at all likely to agree.
We have not seen the charges upon which some
Americans were arrested, nor the particulars OF
the searching OF Amercan vessels for sympathzers,
but this is rather dangerous business, and one ia
which England has not always shown proper
respect for American rights.
The news by the next steamer will be looked
Tor with increased interest. We DO not yet think
that the cause OF Freedom Is hopeless in Ireland.
A few days however, will probably settle the
question. God grant her speedy delivery from
unparalleled oppression
