In consequence of Smith O'Briens proceedings
at MuIhnagaher, a large meeting was held lately
by Doheney. The Government have issued orders
for the formation of Camp there as well as at
TiltOn. Camps are already formed near the seat of
the Earl of Desborough. At the Irish Mining Com
pany's works near Balingarry, county of Tippe-
rary, the wOrkng-men all returned to their work
yesterday, and arms that were taken from several
parties the day before, were returned to their
owners.

Stamps were on Thursday refused for the Felon
and the Nation which therefore could not appear
yesterday, inasmuch they were not to be trans
mitted through the mails, and if despatched other
wise to the provinces, the police to seize them
at every point. Warrants were positively sent to
the south on Thursday for the arrest of the insur
gent leaders Their names are mentioned, incud-

Jr., Mr.. Doheney, Mr.. Darcy, Mayo, etc
Mr. Devin O'Reilly has returned to the North.
Mr.. Laher has gone to the Leinster border; Mr.
Mayo is also breathing country air, and the whole
literary phalanx, Mr. O'Brien once termed their
| confederation, seems broken and routed
from the European Times of July III
The state of Ireland has been the absorbing theme
of interest during the week. The confederates, in
all the fury of despair, have now entirely thrown
off the mask and declared their unequivOcal pur-
pose-iTst to kill and capture the 10000 troops sta
toned in Ireland, and then establish Republic.
The events of the last few days have opened the
eyes of every genuine lover Of order and real ber
ty, and all disguise being cast aside, the only ques
ton is in what mode to crush the foul rebellion
which has almost broken out. After the announce
ment given in our last number Of the intention Of
| Lord John Russell to propose a suspension of the
hG6edS corpus act as respects Ireland, our readers
| will be prepared for the most rigorous measures.
Accordingly, on Saturday, the 22d inst, his
was only interrupted by the approving shouts of al
most every member in the House of Commons,
moved for leave to bring in bill, which is known
a suspension of the hdbeaS corpus act, by which
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for the time being
is empowered to apprehend and deain until the 1st
of March, 1919, such persons as he shall suspect.
One of our London correspondents describes the
scene in the House of Commons, as one OF the most
interesting he ever witnessed.
The quiet, resolute tone of Lord John Russell,
who spoke in his best STYLE was not more admira-
bic then tie timely ard judciOus observations Of Sir
Robert Peel who supported the Minister, nor could
any better proof be given of The practical character
of our English Institutions than the universal ap-
probation which cheered everv sentence of the
Minister Of the Crown, whilst when Mr.. Fergus
O'COnner spoke, almost every member rose and
expressed LIeir dissent.
The provisions of the new Irish habeas corpus
suspension bill, may be applied to Liverpool, but
this is a matter upon which the Government has
not yet decided.
Correspondence of the London Chronicle.
DUBLIN, July %, lSiS-Ihe admiralty steamer
"Ancker" entered Kingston harbor this morning,
with Queens messenger who came express from
London, with a copy of the act for suspending the
habeas corpus. Aspecial train was at once prOvi-
ded, and the messenger proceeded by the railroad
to deliver the act to the Lord Lieutenant The
government have determined on a considerable
number of arrests, and it is stated that number of
persons, not heretofore openly connected with the
revolutionary movements, are to be taken up.
At this hour, half-past 4 O'Clock, the Attorney
General and Solicitor General at the castle, and
1t has been arranged that the warrants are to be
issued this afternoon Mr.. Smith O'Bren and sew
eral other leading members, now organizing the
clubs throughout the country, are to be taken into
custody tonight, and if the attempt to them
should not lead to outbreak, they will be brought
up to Dublin tomorrow.
The accounts from the South this morning are
lIyvT tala Iha
pear to be so insane to contemplate an insurrec-
ton, and indeed already they have little doubt of
an actual outbreak. The deepest anxiety and ap-
prehensiOn prevails among the gentry and well-dis
posed of all classes Gentlemen have come up to
make representations to the government of the state
of their districts, and requiring for their ten
antry to defend their families and property against
any insurgent movement.
Lord Farnham, from Craven, and magistrates
from Wicklow and other counties, have been in at
tendance at the castle to-day
The danger is imminent, but the Lord Lieuten-
ant is well prepared and determined promptly to
crush if he cannot prevent an instruction, forced
on by the wicked men VINO are now endeavOring to
produce CONFUSION.
Troops are constantly arriving from England and
departing for the south, where the danger is most
pressing. troop of the 9Th Hussars, en- route from
Cork to Newbridge, has been ordered to halt at
Kilkenny, where il is to be stationed for the present
Four companies of the seth, which landed this
morning from England, marched direct for Kilken-
nv. The remainder of the regiment, on the instant
of their arrival, will proceed 10 the same destna-
ton, and at an early hour this morning the troops
of the 18th Lancers, with two pieces of ordinance
left town for Dunschauchlin, county of Meath
where disturbances are apprehended.
The police in the out stations of the disturbed
counties, who would be comparatively defenceless
in case of an outbreak, have been ordered to con-
centrate at the chief station.
The government securities have declined fully II
per cent at our stock Exchange to-day. Consols
fell from 50 to 49,.
Notwithstanding all this alarm, for which unlor-
tunately there is ample grounds, shall cling the
hope that there will be no insumectiOn. Indeed
my belief is as strong as before that there will be
no serious outbreak and that government will be
able TO crush at any insurrectionary attempt.
The squadron Of Sir Charles Napier has arrived
at Cove.
Her ExcelIency the Countess of Clarendon, with
of the children of the Lord Lieutenant, left
Kingston this morning for England.
| have seen letters from Galway, Roscommon
and even from Tpperary, which state the cOnvic-
ton of the writers that there will be no outbreak
