Ouf readers will find in our colums to-day
ful. accounts. as far as they could be obtained.
OF ihs movements in Ireland, The principal
feature OF ;he news is its want OF point and
clearness. From a chaos OF Inconsistencies
| lahficaiious aud futnors, we arc left in almost
! total ignorance of the real state OF things ia
the island, Tor at least eight days previous TO
tie shilling 90 The steamer. From the accounts
which we have from the English and Irish To-
~ papers. and from the Dublin Repeal press
now, we are told. under British censorship
we are led 10 believe that nothing OF impor.
tancs has occurred, with the exception OF a
billed attempt 70 arrest Smith O'Brisn at
Bailingary, in the County OF Iipperary.
II Is really iudirrous to observe the attempts
of the English press TO prove that the long
gathering storm OF Revolution and Ress ance
IN Ireland had begun and blown over IN an
insignificant collision witha few score Of Pol-
ice L1nstahles. We are told that Smith q
Bjen was at The head Of | 600 men, another
account makes bis forces amount To only 700,
while another stll puts them down at 200 or
thereaboui. Even the latter numtes is prob
ably exaggerated; and yet before these lew
unarmed peasants, mostly GOLFERS from the
neigl boring mines, Inspector Trant retreated
TO the hous. OF a widow Mccormick, whose
i've children The Police retained in the houss

We may here state that it is not at all GER

Rebel Forces oroi any Iorces whateverat

One fact, however, Is plain-and it is the
great substantive fact of the weeks news

by spies and detectives, have been doing their
utmost to arrest the insurgent leaders. and yet
that o'Brien. Dillon, Meagher, Reilly, O'Gor-

The careful readers of the details will fnl
many things to strengthen his belief in the
stirring news we publish from our Private
