IRELAND.
The most exciting accounts have been received
from Ireland of another outbreak in Tpperary.
The accounts are, however, somewhat contradic-
tory. The following is from the Dublin and Liver
pool papers
The ostensible cause of the outbreak is said to be
the seizure of crops by the landlords for rent which
has so maddened the people, that general rising
IS expected to take place throughout the South of
Ireland. 1t is well known that the people around
about Carrick, Clonmel, and Tipperary in the vi
entity of the slate and coal mines, literally in
state of starvation and rather than die by hunger,
they have resolved on fighting.
On the night of the 18th inst. there was partial
rising in Waterford. The first outbreak was the
stopping of the mails near Waterford, which, how
ever, were ultimately allowed to proceed An at
tempt has been made to blow up the bridge at
Granagh, over the SUR, and thus impede the ad
vance of the military. The police and a party of
the insurgents have had a brush at PorlIaw; the
latter are said to have retreated after ten rounds
leaving two killed.
The news of the affair at Portlaw was received
with much exultation Three hundred men are said
to have left Conmel, in small parties, to join the
nsurrectlOn. Two were arrested by the patrol
when pixies and provisions for three days, consist
ing of bread, meat, and whskey, were found upon
them.
The. bells of Kileash and Ballyline rung for at
tack on Carrick- SUR; but messenger came out
stating that there were soldiers coming (the S5th on
their march, and consequently the attempt was not
made.
The Cork Examiner, of the 18Th, publishes the
lowing: g RumOrs have reached Cork this morn
ing in reference to the illegal disturbances in the
county of Waterford.
Information, we understand, reached the police
authorities this day, that tile police barrack at Port
law was attacked at an early hour yesterday morn
ing by a body of armed peasantry. The barrack
was occupied by about ten police, commanded by
Constable O'Regan. After short struggle the
assaians put to flight, but not without serious
loss on either side; two of the police having been
shot, and several OF the assailants having been
either killed or severely wounded. It's not known
positively whether the police were shot dead or
seriously wounded We give the report as it has
reached us, without being enabled to add any con-
tirmatOn to it.
1t was rumored in Cork this morning that the
bridge of Waterford had been blown up, or other
wise destroyed, yesterday morning. 1t was also
rumored that the bridge Of Granogh- ferry, about
mile from the city of Waterford, and on the road
to Carrick, had shared a similar fate. The arrival
of the YOugha coach, at - O'clock brought con-
frnatOry intelligence in respect to the latter
bridge. The troops stationed IN Youghal barracks
were dispatched at an early hour this morning to
Cappoquin by steamer, their route to the locali-
ties said to be disturbed.
g 1t may be mentioned in confirmation of this
iioF0'Ifo's +D'F7a -'s Va tArfnra that
two detachments have received orders to hold
themselves in immediate readiness to leave Cork
garrison for Youghal and Middleton, to replace the
troops sent on They may have marched out Of
Cork before this
The Clonmel Chronicle of September 12th con.
tains the following: g The most exciting reports
reached ClOnmel this morning, of outbreak at
Carrick-on-Suir A man from that place came
into Conmel this morning, in great haste, bringing
with him all the money he could collect, TO get
gold for it. He describes Barring being in an
awful state the hills all round covered with armed
men, who have forced all the farmers TO give bar
rels of bread, meat and other supplies, well as
arms and ammunition Many of them have been
also forced to join the movement and he stated
that Carrick was to be taken forthwith. Not a Ia
bOrer was to be seen between Carrick and Clon-
MEL until he reached this town all have joined
the rebels the hills, who represented to num-
Der several thousands.
By the cross coach from Clonmel to the Water
ford road, we find that two conntrymen We're seen
dead on yesterday morning, in the streets Of that
town, having been shot by the police, in an affray
between the people and that force.
Arrangements Of the IlSurgents.-It is reported
that Doheny headed the armed insurgents who
made the attack on Curraghmore for arms last
night. He had taken the command Of the Water
ford rebel division, whose present rendezvous is to
be Portlaw: and the Tpperary rebel DIVISION I'M
der the command of O'MahOny, is to rendezvous at
Slievenamon.
Their commissariat is said TO be most abundantly
supplied at the expense Of the neighboring farm
houses and il is cOnditioron all recruits joining
that they are to bring arms, ammunition, and a.
supply of bread meat etc., for certain number of
days. This has all the appearance of a determined
and sanguinary rebellion 1t is also reported that
Gen. Macdonald has demanded an immediate rein
forcement of artillery and cavalry.
Six companies of the Goth Rifles left Dublin on
the 18TH by railway, for the disturbed districts.
The reports generally circulated in Dublin are,
that the Marquis of Waterfords house, at Curragh-
more, has been stormed, and a police harrack
forced and the arms of the men taken.

clared their intention of OBTAINING the mail until
