EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENT.  [FROH THE IRISH PAPERS.] At ten o'clock on the night of Friday, the sth instant, W. Nam, Esq. Chief Officer of the Police, stationed at Roscrea, having heard some shots near that town, proceeded immediately with a party to the quarter whence they were fired. At the distance of about a mile from Roscrea, he met two men on one horse ; he challenged, arrested, and searched them. In the breeches pocket of one, the son of a very reputable man, was found a manuscript book, written with great cleverness, emblazoned with various devices, and containing the oath,  pass-word, and a complete system of insurrectionary organization, the object of which is truly diabolical. It would appear from this document that a general union and consolidation of the several systems which have for years back distracted various parts of Ireland, have been effected. The Prisoner was forwarded on Saturday to Capt: WILSON, the Magistrate at Thurles, who awaits the directions of Government relative to him. For this discovery the public are indebted to the prompt exertions of Mr. NASH, whose ability and activity have been conspicuous since his appointment. About a week before the above occurrence, he succeeded by a well-laid plan, in apprehending Henry Martin a principal in the cruel murder of Joseph Hoey, a meritorious constable of Shinrone, in the King's County, about a year ago, ever since which Martin had eluded every attempt to arrest him. The following is a co7)y of this extraordinary document which is signed by the delegate to Captain Rock:1.
