70. ireland, one from Manchester, the other
from Chester. The Manchester regiment,
l,200 strong, was aroused at o'clock In the
morning, md By : O'Clock they were en route
for Liverpool, whence they were to embark ut
e O'Clock. Seven officers absent on leave were
ordered by telegraph to report themselves at
the Clarence dock by O'Clock last evening
Our information Is that the Chester regiment
was ordered with equal haste to Dublin, ria
Holyhead. Movements such as these will create
deal Of uneasness, and they must fudtcate
either serious danger or remarkable cretlu-
lity on the part Of the authorities. No doubt
the troops who hare been sent are English-
men. For the past few days there have been
statements made ns to certain very extensive
designs being entertained By tie Dublin
Sentans, aud these have been supported bY
the measures taken b. the authorities. All
tation has prevailed at Limerick, fostered by
the hasty transfer OF troops from place to
placc:

not for alarm, at least for extraordinary pre-
canton.
