The Catholics OF Ireland were, on July 10
making great prepsrations for the laying OF the
corner stone of the c,ssat Catholic University
building lar Dublin. Their. was 70 pe ~ ~

OF the University, said, ut meeting on
tion held on the 9th Of July THAI nearly every
corporation would be represented BY their town
councillors, and small towns would be represented
by their commissioners. They had received letters
| from all the towns in Ireland as to the manner in
which they should be represented. Mayors of cor
poratons, magistrates and deputy lieutenants
| would be present. The two hundred magistrates
who signed the protest against certain institutions
would be there. There was no doubt whatever
that the Archbishop of New York would be pre-
sent. They had received letter from him. and
on that very evening they had received letter
from Brussels, from the Bishop Of Orleans, an
nouncing his intention OF being present.
We have files of the Diario del Concrete Of La
guayra, Venezuela, to the 9th ult. The rebellion
against the government had not yet been suppress
| ed though the Dictator and his advisers were
using the utmost diligence to end the war. An
| other attempt was made to get up . revolution in
| Maracabo on the 10th ut; but fortunately the
plot was discovered in time, and the promoters
| seized by the military force of the 60
vernment. The plan, as confessed by the
criminals, was to overpower the troops, cut
the throats Of the authorities, officers, &C.,
and make general sack of the treasury, stores,
nc. Four sergeants of the ringeaders were tried
by court martial and shot on the 10th ult Many
others concerned have been imprisoned. The
papers contain lengthy accounts of the death of
Doctor Pedro Gual, who died at Guayaqu on the
| 9th Of May last. Senior Gual was Vice President
of the Venezuelan republic, and after Senor Ma
| nuel Felipe Tovar had been compelled to resign
| the Presidency he filled the chief position for
| some time. His death s greatly lamented.
| sensation story is going the rounds OF the de-
mocratic press copied from Chicago paper, to
the effect that the conscription act of the bogus
| confederacy, which takes males into the army
| between the ages of seventeen and thirty-three,
| will raise the Confederate force to one million
| four hundred thousand. Estimates based the
census of 1860 will show the absurdity of this
| statement. There are less than four and half
| millions of white inhabitants in those sections of
| the South which are now under the rule of the
rebel leaders; but will give them the benefit OF
those figures, for the sake of the round numbers.
OF this white population there are:-
| Women. Observation-Disclosures. i 200 900
/ Children under seventeen years. ..... 400 900
| Able bodied men over thirty-three years. 600
| Able bodied eXempts s................ 40O,0o0
/ Sick and disabled. Observation-Disclosures. zoe, 900
Total. $500 600
| This would leave at most but seven hundred thou
sand to be forced into the army, and of these it
may be estimated that at least one hundred thou
| sand have fed to escape the operations of the
| law, or are non est.
The command of the negro regiment styled the
Kansas Zouaves d'Afrique," !" now raising in Lea
venworth, it is said will be.tendered to Horace
Greeley, of the Tribune; and, in the event Of the
white coat philosopher declining the colonelcy, it
will be given to Capt. George G. Hoyt formerly Of
Massachusetts,.
Beecher's Independent says" Not one single
State except South Carolina cast popular majo
rty for secession yet every State seeded except
Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky" This state
ment contains two gross errors. Besides South
Carolina the States Of Texas. Arkansas, Georgia.
Alabama Mississippi and Florida cast popular
najorities in favor Of secession, and Missouri
shosld be added to the nonseceded slaveholding
States.
Governor Tod, Of Ohio, has refused to convene
the Legislature in extra session. and also refuses
to grant any State bounty TO volunteers. but will
rely entirely upon the honor, patriotism and libe
1 rality of the people.

| Pooh GREELEY CALLING on THE NEGROES
Poor Greeley is down on his knees, tearing
his hair and calling on the negroes to come
North and help US. "If they don't come,r says
Greeley in the Tribune yesterday, May God in
His infinite mercy save the republic; for
there is no other hope remaining Look at
this silly sniveller-half coward, half traitor.
Here at the North we have twenty three mil
lions Of viii te men, and in the border States
we have . million Of slaves. In the South they
have three millions Of negroes, who are es-
Gaping TO our lines as last as possible. Yet poor
frightened Greeley and his gang Of fanatics
have the impuaencs to declare that II these
three millions Of dsrkeys do not come over to
