LIVERPOOL, Saturday
September Is Ill A. M. {
Our special express messengers from Dublin, and
the disturbed districts in the South of ireland,
have just this instant reached Liverpool, and as
they are the bearers of some rather important In
tellgence, we hasten to suboin outline.
Another and more determined outbreak than
that 81 Muinahone has actually brokenlout in parts
of the South of Ireland, and although our messen-
gers are not disposed to place implicit reliance ON
all the rumors which they heard respecting this
fmcute, either to Its origin or extent they are.
nevertheless, fully convinced that thousands of
the people are up in arms against the government.
and that already more skirmlshing has taken place
between the police and the insurgents In fact,
they learn that loss of life has already taken place
at district called Glenlower, about eight mules
from Clonme, where the police were attacked,
and short fight ensued; three of the rebels are
reported to be killed, and two or three OF the
police wounded. The police are reported to have
fled from the out-statIons, leaving their barracks
to the tender mercies of the insurgents 1T lis now
confidently asserted that three pieces of cannon
were actually captured by the insurgents in sue
cessfu attack on Curraghmore House, the seat of
the Marquis OF Waterford. Among the insurgents

the uniform of the SD club. During the attack on
the police station, at Portland the Rev. Mr.. Mel
dcot J. p, rector of the parish, contrived to effect
an entrance into the barrack, from the rear, and,
it is said, rendered essential service, by en-
couraging the police to offer vigorous resistance
Our messengers, who have made particular in
quries as to the extent of the present outbreak.
inform us that they find that system of secret
organization has been extensively carried on, not
only in the districts where rebellion has now burst
forth, but even quarters which at present pre-
sent an aspect Of perfect tranquility, and this they
infer from the fact that Messrs. Doheny and
O'Gorman, about whom variety OF oDtradictory
reports have been disseminated, were in the I'M
mediate neighborhood of, not absolutely within the
city, on certain evening last week An opinion
prevails IN several quarters that the present move
ment is merely d social one, stimulated by poverty,
and not intended for the assertion Of any political
hight.
Mr. Meagher has retained the services of Mr.
Kirwen, of Thurles as his solicitor and that gen.
Heman is at present engaged IN preparing his de-
fence. Meagher feels indifferent to the charge,
as he cannot be identified as one of the insurgents
at Ballingary.
From the inquiries which our reporters have
made respecting the approaching State trials, we
find the government contemplate carrying on the
prosecutions in the most vigorous manner, though
as to the ultimate fate of the persons to be put on
trial. if convicted, nothing but vague conjectures
can be hazarded, which it would be out of place
for us to trouble you with The case OF Mr.. Nc
Manus, who was apprehended at Cork, is supposed

materials for prosecution to be very strong; and
in reply TO an inquiry from him as to the nature
the charge of which he stands accused, he has
been informed, In short formal reply from the
crown solicitors office, that he will be put on his
trial for high treaso We are informed that he
had been eight days at sea, on his voyage to Anne
RIGA, when the vessel Ia which he had embarked
was Obliged to put back from stress oil weather;
and on taking shipping second time, at Cork, he
was arrested We believe that his business here,
as forwarding and commission agent and general
broker, produced HIM some Gl200 year.
We must not omit to state that no less than %
of the Sd Bluffs have been arrested and committed

As considerable anxiety and curiosity is felt
respecting the fact OF Lord John Russell beirg
summoned as witness on behalf of Mr.. Smith
O'Bren, we directed our Dublin messenger to
make some inquiries on the subject, and he re-
ports as follows As soon as Lord John Russell
has been placed on the witness table, he will be
handed Tor recognition certain autograph notes OF
his own. These notes, II IL said, were written oy
the noble Lord, during the memorable reform bill
agitation, and convey instructions TO the effect
that large bodies of men should be marched upon

reality, 10 terrfy, If not worse As we nave not
