THE LUST FOR RIcHEs.-The grudge with which most men part with a little pittance for the nobest purposes, is astonishing and hu- milatng. Mammon, Mamnon, is the gcd of the protesting world among us. The love of dis tinction flows in the channels of wealth, and thus creates an aristocracy the most corrupt and corrupting, the most slavish and enslavine of all ar stocracies--the aristocracy of dol lars. Hence the passion for lucre is the pas espectabillity, not by their deeds of goodness but by the stms of which they are masters = Mason.

The Arrests in Ireland.

G second edition 0l tnS tofh Repoflef announces that on the merning of the 7th December, fifteen prisoner, charged with being members of an illegal society, ar rived by the Bandon train, under the es- cor, of large body of police. Tie cap tured seemed to be all young men of res pecsable position in society. Twelve Of them are from Skibbereen, and three from Rantry. They are charged with being members of the Phenix Society, and the nformations have been sworn against them by one of ther own body, (the old stofy,1 person named Sullivan. The object of this confederation is said to have been for the purpose of obtaining an n- vasion of Ireland by American fllibusters. The following dispatch dated Cork, on the night of the Eth, gives few extra particulars;
 "Flteen young men were to-day com mitted to the Cork county jail on charge of being connected wlth an illegal society, called the Phoenix Club They are principally from Skibbereen and its neigh borhood, and all seem to belong to classes above the common peasantry, being well dressed, intelligent looking, and apPefent- y well educated. Their names are, Murty Downing. Jeremiah Donovan, Muny Moynehan, Daniel M Carthy, Jeremiah Driscoll, Eugene M'Carthy, Dennis Downing, Timothy Dugan, Pat rick Downing, James Stark, Thomas O'Shea, Wm. O'Brien, Jeremiah Culnane, Dennis Sullivan, and Timothy M'Carthy. Three of them are said to be clerks to q well known solicitor of high standing in Skibbereen; another IS clerk Tn brew cry; and all of them of some occupation or pursuit which indicates the possession of at least a good English education. What the nature of the evidence against them is, has not transpired, as whatever investigation took place has been private, but there seems to be little doubt that in the western part of the county ot Cork this illegal club or society counts great many members, and the authorities there have been for the last few months on the qua viue IL appears, also, that the prison CTS are charged with illegal drilling with firearms, bikes, and other weapons, so that their designs, however foolish and insane, must be of a reasonable and wicked character, and require the exer- else of energy and vigilance on the part of the authorities to suppress them before serious mischief may arse from them. 1 In letter received on the 4th inst, from New York, by person in Clonme, the following startling passage, says a loca paper, occurs: " 1 am sorry 10 tell yot 1 will not be able to carry out your sug- gestion to visit the old country with the Sixty-Nnth Irish Americans, as. owing to the liberality' of the British Govern. ment, so many men carrying arms would not be allowed to land in Ireland -
