we have received the Dublin evening papers Of
Yesterday. They bring no confirmation of the
alarming news which we gave, with a caution, TO
our readers, Hnder the head, latest news. The
Dublin Evening Mail admits that there Is disturb
ance in the ReighbOThoOd OF CurIaghmore, but
speaks of IL as dying away. The whole account,
as II now stands is merely TO the exteD. that three
police barracks have been attacked at Rathgor-
mack, POrlaw, and the State QuaTries; that in
these cases, some one or two oil the people may
have been killed; that bridge has been disInan-
lied at Carney; that there has been collision with
a small body of the military and the mob. the lat
ter being disconnected and driven for refuge into
the woods of Carraghmore; that bonfires, up 10
| Wednesday night, have been seen blazing on the
hills Of Waterford and Kilkenny, and that there IS
some sort of q camp, IebeliOusly occupied, fcrm-
| ed on Aneny Hill--this camp being defended by a
few pieces OF cannon plundered from the house Of
| the Marquis of Waterford. At the POrtlaw hanack
1 the mob force did not exceed four hundred. Sew
| eral prisoners have been taken by detached corps
of the seth regiment Infantry, and these men have
been identified as eliminated in the attack on the
\ police barracks. Mr.. % Mahoney is said 10 have
headed guerrilla expedition on "Wednesday, the
object OF which was predatory excursion in the
neighborhOod of kilmaethomas, in search OF arms.
Nothing more is said OF Mr.. Doheny. The military
and police are everywhere on the alert, and SC far

have yet had with the would-be insurgents. 4 re-
port Of what was going on had been forwarded 70
