FRom BERMUDA.-The Boston Traveller has re-
ceived Hamilton Bermuda) papers up to August l,
from which it learns that the Legislature was in
session, ard the House of Assembly had appointed
committee to inquire into the expediency of repeal
ing certain enacnents which restrict the trade of
the islands to Hamilton and ST. George. The COM
mttee, in reporting upon hesubect state that there
has been an alarming retrograde of the commercial
interests of the colony since the trade was with
drawn from the numerous other convenient harbors
in the islands, and exclusively centered at the towns
of Hamilton and ST. George. The tonnage of Ber-
muda under the present restrictions, has diminished
one half-bsing now only about so vessels with an
aggregate of 5000 tons. The committee express an
opinion, that so long the present prohibitions and
restrictions are tolerated, distress and ruin will be
widely spread among the Bemudas and they ac-
cordingly recommend a repeal Of the enaements.
The papers contain no aEusion to Mitchell the Irish

BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH
Arrival Of the Steamship Cambria.

Seven Days Later from Europe--The Rebellion in
ITeIand-Fight in Ballingay-Great Destruction
Of Iife-Royalisfs Victorious ETC. ETC.
New YORK, August 10, P. M.-The steamship
Cambria arrived at her wharf at 10 O'Clock this
morning, having sailed from Liverpool on the 18th
inst, bringing intelligence seven days later than
was brought by the Acadia. The news she brings
from Ireland is important, but the accounts appear
to be entirely English and intended rather to ridi
eule and put down all sympathy for the Irish. We,
however, give them as they come to us, regretting
that the accounts are not in more reliable form.
The Irish insurgents showed no concerted action,
AT Ballingay the Royalsts fought from house, but
concealed the amount of their loss. Each man was
marksman, and took deliberate aim. They had
$50 rounds Of cartridge, which told dreadfully. A
priest came in, praying permission to bury their
dead, and got wounded.
The FIST accounts of the fight are all from Tory
sources. Others say that Smith o'Brien behaved
bravely, and received a wound while striving gal
lantly to rally his comrades. The Irish doubtless
acted bavely, barring their bosoms to the shots of
the soldiery in the sacred cause of national freedom;
but cool discipline had advantage over all numbers,
without practice and military leaders.
Condition of Ireland.
The accounts from Ireland, taken from the Liv-
erpOOl Journal of the 9Th inst, most confused
and unsatisfactory but every version Of the story
makes against the prospects of success of Young
Ireland The Journal goes on as follows:
"O'Brien has thrown away the scabbard, but
left the sword by its side. Meagher bought dis
guise at a slop-shop, and took post-chaise, and
showed the superiority of his speed. The rebels
were allowed to choose their ground, hut only took
advantage of it for an easy retreat There had been
some skimishing, and some accounts say battle.
The latest accounts from Dublin state that all was
quiet in the disaffected districts O'Bren and the
other leaders had escaped"
The London Times says: f" O'Dillon was wound
ed, and o Brien had narrow escape. His coat and
neckcloth were both perforated. He first sum-
moned the constabulary to surrender their arms,
and when the negotiation failed, gave orders to com
rnenee siege of the house-shouting, Blaze away,
boys, and slaughter them all . He is probably now
concealed near Callan, but O'Dillon was taken to
Dublin by some of his friends"
ITALY.--At London, on Friday morning, the
funds were auet but after the receipt of the Irish
news consols rose from S68 to S65, and stiened by
reports that France would not interfere with Italy,
where the condition of the affairs of Charles Albert
were more desperate. He had asked an armistice
Of Radetky, which was refused, except on terms
which the King declared he would rather fall at
the head of the army with his sons than accept 1t
was added that assistance from France was hope
less, unless England Joined in the Intervention. The
Sandman Ambassador has formally demanded
French Intervention.

The Irish confederates on the issue of the proela-

to whom suspicion attached, retired to the South

Police near Mullingaharie. The Police retreated

claimed, and several arrests made, and the parties
taken to Dublin.
The Repeal Clubs in Dublin have been dissolved.
The barracks at Thurles were attacked, but the
insurgents were repulsed The details concerning
the skirmishes are very full; but everywhere the
Irish yielded and fed. The triumph of the Gov

evidently passed over dimming all Irish hopes for
the present at least.
Gen Mcdonnell has command of the barracks at
Ballingsay, and all was quiet But the withdrawal
of the troops will be the signal for outbreaks
O'Brien is believed to be concealed in the mines.
Viscount Hardinge has reached Dublin, and
