CONSTANT RIADER  IRELAND. DURUM, Jenv 17 Mr. Doheny was admitted to bail on Saturday evening ; the charge, therefore, can have been only for sedition. After regaining his liberty, he started for Cashel, where the King Cormac Club received him with open ranks. Thence he was away yesterday to the broad ridge of Slievenamon in an open barouche, drawn by four horses, and attired in the half-forgotten uniform of the 'B2 club. The procession from the City of Monarchs is said to have reckoned 8,000. On reaching the summit the hest was met by a mighty assemblage. The chair was not filled, as stated in the programme, by Mr. Doheny, but he spoke at some length, "advised the people to form clubs, cautioned them to be firm and fear not, and the day was their own." There was no disorder beyond that which accompanies the gathering of some 30,000 persons—the report seta down 50,000. I nave just learnt that Mr. Meagher proceeded from Waterford to the place of meeting in a carriage drawn by six horses, and followed by the clubs of Waterford in military array. On the return of the procession in the evening some of the authorities were disposed to prevent them entering the city in marching order, and it was proposed to support a command that they should break ranks and enter in civil mode by the military and cannon if necessary. The magistracy of Waterford refused, it is said, to sanction the latter measure. The toll-bar was put down before the procession reached the bridge at the Kilkenny side the Suir, and it was enjoined that the procession should break up before being allowed to pass. The answer was a burst which took away the whole tollbar, and the party entered in triumph. The article in last Saturday's Nation has been much canvassed, and suggests a belief that an outbreak, if not directly invited, is at least insinuated, as an effective mode "to set the prisoners free." The clues are undergoing a more perfect organisation. They are being divided into sections and sub-sections, so as to answer to the roll-call, and come more readily under the eye of tire commander. All their movements, however, are well known : their minutest acts are reported to the police. Reports are furnished by members of their own body, and, knowing this, they proceed with necessary caution. It is calculated that' the entire force of the clubs does not include 20,000 and scattered over so wide a surface, with garrisons and police barracks well supplied in those districts where their strength is greatest, there is but very slight hope that the struggle could be protracted beyond a few days. It is said that the Earl of Clarendon has requested the presence of Sir C. Napier'a squadron on the southern coast for some weeks until the harvest is cut. Whether that be true or not, every rational mind is convinced that the clubs and their organs prefer talk to action. I learn from a private letter that sixteen arrests have taken place in Cashel, in consequence of the attempted rescue of Mr. Doheny. The soldiery quartered in the town and the inhabitants are on the worst terms. The civilians complain that the soldiers have paraded the streets, crying out, "To hell with the pope ! " ; while the soldiers complain that they have been insulted and attacked by the civilians.  An application has been made at Enniskillen to Mr. Justice Perrin, to admit Mr. Martin to bail. His lordship refused to entertain the question until the informations were kid before him. They have been sent down from the Crown office to Omagh, where the learned judge will hear and determine. Baron I,efroy has expressed his disapproval of the late circular of the Attorney-General, and more particularly the suggestion that briefs should not be issued to crown counsel until the prisoner had pleaded. Such a rule, he said, would defeat the administration of justice, and he would seek its correction.  Hasty, convicted for the murder of Major Mahon, and Beirne for that of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, will be executed in Roscommon on the Bth of August.
