IRISII S 1 POYS.  In connection with the events in India, it may be recollected that in the course of last week an inflammatory placard was posted in the town of Carrick-on-Euir, to the sreat scandal of the peaccnble end well disposed inhabitants of the place, who lost no time in taking measures to express their horror of the sentiments embodied in the atro7ious document. A meeting of the town commissioners, the majority composed of Boman Catholics and Liberals, was held there on Wednesday, when the following resolution was unanimously adopted— Reso'ved,—Th dt haring heard with nnmi'iga`ed su.pri e and pain that a placard of a sediticui and icilammatory nature has been.pLstel through oar town, the act, we feel sAikfled, of some individual miscreant, endeavr,uring to excite disaffection in the minds of the people, re take this the earliest onp:mtuoity to denounce such c"nduct i 1 the most unqualified terms; and while we regard any attempt to enlist the sympathy of even (tie indivi.;u in this place for the iv farious purpose intended as utterly futile, aid dsesving of our moat pm fsuni contempt, we, nevertheless, are determined to use the moi,t strenuous meat s to disc suer and bring to justice the indirdnal who had the hardihood to perpetrat?, such an insult to the peaceable character of our town ; and that, for thi-s purpose, a Eubsciption be openel, and a regard ffered for the detection uf the perpetrator ef this outrage."  The Free. Press (113tnan Catholic and UltraLibel...ll) adds:—  " A subscription HA was opened, and all the •cnmmissioners present enrollel therein, Til;R day, tie 17th of S,e,:tember, 1857, the matter was brotizbt utder the notice of the local jostic~e at petty scssions, who all subserib-rd largely. It is expected that the local sabscripions will, in a few days, exceed £lOO ; when the reward will be 'published, and the incendiary in all probability di,covered. It should be remarked that it no .v appears that these inflammatory placards were not confined to this town alone, but were also posted ve'y generally in the rum! districts of Kilkenny and Waterford. There is bat one feeling here among all claw, s—that is an ataions desire to discover, and bring the offlnder to condign punishment." As a set-off to this discreditable display of right feeling,it is but fair that the British public should know that the section of the Irish press devoted to the Sepoy interest continues its foul work with unabated zeal. One of those champions of Jena Sahib, in its number of Saturday, positively aloats over the temporary reverses of the gallant Havelock, to whom the Nana/1 refers in these terms:—  General Havelock has ir.en gaining greet victories over the rebe's, four or five per diem on an average, and marching enc, mous distances in veil short times. He is shortly to receive the title of General Jack the Giantkiller. It is not tebe s 'apposed fer a moment that any namber, small or large, of the British troops are e►er beaten to sops, or kick np tbeir heels and run f• r their lives across the •country. No ! perish the thouelitl—they only'" retire," or "are thrown icto a little canft slots," or "receive a check:" So it was et Agra, and so it has been with her Majesty's 10th Reoiment of Foot, mording to tee last accounts.; so it has been, we venture to say, on many other occasions cf which we have as yet heard nothing, fad as the British do not wish to speak of them, we probably -shill never bear a word, Lord Canning having garotted the press of India. This gatot,ing, however, be it remarked, was only done to prevent the wen from ;prai4ing•the British too much and publishing to the world their highly creditable acts. The modesty of the Briton cou'd not stand the'. And again, with reference to its especial favourite, the Nation says:— The issurgents, it is said, have been defeated in eeveral engagements by the treops under General Havelock. Nana Sahib, we are lola, is no more. He was the only man arming the iasurzent cithfs who set-m% to have studied British his'ory end to have adopted British vigour. He spared none of tee filibusters oho fell into his hinds, and theirs was a terrible fete indeed, to fell into the hands of a foe nearly as savage as Ludlow, as mercil, as as Cremwell ! Pethapv, as the victims of Nena S wt re 83 few, it would be to much4o compare his rigoni'with that of those bloody monsters, or presume to e' -vote to the dignity of a crowning mercy' the bort° sof C twnpore. He certainly made a faint endear our to copy British tactics as practised in Ireland; and, as in life so in death, ha imitated the British generals ; following the example of Stalk,ar and Eth,idge, he ended his eat eer by suicide. Elareleck seems to be pushing on rapidly to relieve Lueknow, the importancec,f which it would seem he was fully aware of; but there seems far more 111;6'U:en-I of the siege of D.;:hi being raised than that of Lue'euow ; a few mare sorties &nth as those repor e t by th's m'it, and there would not be a British tent vs ithia sight of Shakjehanaba ."  A,CPNT of Byte NEvts.—A correspondent writes :—" I, wi h four fiends from let ,nchester, staying at Fort Wiliam Hotel, N. 8., darted at nine o'clock to ascent Ben Nevis, tbrceigh great difficulties—a pouring rah and thick mist—and after Eve hour'',4 hard walking, Rai without a few tumbles, at leng h we reached the summit, when we were glad to take our refreshment. On looking abc:ut. to my crear,cle izht, I picked up a copy of the Morning Star, of September 11th, of which I enclose you a parr. I woe glad and much pleased to have an opp r tunity of seeing my dai'y pager nearly 600 mites from London and 4,380 feet above the level of the sea, and with a view of 170 miles in extent.
