THE STATE TRIALS . Sipr . 9 —On Thursday the summonses wereserved on thegrand jnrcn of the South Riding of Tippera * y . ordering tbeir at'eadanca in Clonmel on the 21 st instant , nndera penalty of £ 100 each in ths event of failure . The Hfeb Sheriff ofthe county of Dublin , and the Bordof Superintendence , visited Mr Smith O'Brien and Mr Meagher yesterday , in Kilmaiubam gaol For the first time since their imprisonment , leave , I understand , has been given to both gentlemen to have free access to newspapers , and whatever hooka they may choose to call for , pendisg their tran ? - mission to the senh to take their trials . Notwitb-• tandinz all the ' authorised' reports to the contrary , Mr Meagher has not up to this day had any consaltation either with counsel or agent , nor has h * made ths slightest preparation for tho conduct of his defence .
The subjoined statement appears in the Meecik-OJ * Apvsrtiskb of last night : — Seme of the snperlntenfleots and other p-reozB cmployed by the mining company in tbe SlieveadegH collielies , bare been for some -daja in Dublin , having been tsnraoned by tha Crown , with a view of ideaUijirg eur > of the persons in custody as took pait In the rutbreak in tha , * district . In regard to Messrs Smith O ' Brien and H'Hanas there could be no d-rurally , bnt Mr Meagher wm not identified by any ot tbs parties , mi the presumption Is tbat he took ao part in tbe Insurrectionary proceedings in that quarter . According to the accounts that have reached us M'Manut is accused of taking a most prominent part < rom beginning to end . It is alleged that ha headed the party who attacked the police barracks at Mallinahone . Mr Smith O'Brien , It is said , Opposed this pro ] ct , reoommf suing tbat tbe insurgents
should ac ~ . upon tha defensive—tbat tbey should wait to bi attacked , and , in tha meantime , strengthen their position by the erection of barricades . But M'Manus prevailed upon the crowd to proceed with hla . to the police barrack , whither elsa Mr O'Brien followed , end was enabled to prevent any act of violence . He summoned tha few policemen in ths barrack to surrender , and gave them some lime for consideration ; but meantime tkey left tbe barrack and made their way to the head quarters of the constabulary . At the colliery Mr O'BrUn required tw * horses fir his scout * , which the superinten deat , Mr Culisn , refused to give , oa the ground tbat be was merely tbe servant of the company , end Mr O'Brien at oaoe admitted the justice of tbe obJMtbn , We bave heard that tbe impression made upon Mr CaUea by tbe whole fearing of Mr Smith O'Brien was , that bis mine was 8 ff : cted , aud Mr Collen at the time mentioned this as h ' j impression ia a letter which he had occasion to
A letter from Ballybay , in the Belfast Nbwsietxbr , states : — Tbat on the s ' gat of Monday Ust , a v-ry strict search waa made in tbat town for Mr Thomas D . v ' n Rally , who was supposed to te accreted in the neighbourhood . The varch was conducted under tha snp-riotendenceof Captain Vfaxakett , U . U ., of BUlybay . and tbe local constabulary . The house of Mr ReUly ' s near relative , the Ssr . Thomas Tieraey , parish priest of Cloutrioet , was aarrowly examined . We sre also informjd by our car . respondent , that a simultaneous search , was Blade in er . ral places tkronghoat the country , but without € & a 6 t .
PUBsurr of ms ddhbst . The CiiOsu & x CasoKictssaya i—During the but week or ten days there bave been some expeditions , within a few miles ot this town , in search of Doheny . We heard of one in tbe neighbourhood cf BaHinamolt , where it wa # supposed he was concealed in . a wood . The party is pursuit ttarted some man , evidently net a peasant , thotufe dressed as such . He was imssedlately bailed and commanded to staad , at bis peril , bus succeeded ia treating hit escape by a plunge into a thick part of the plantation , being considerably ia advance ef bis pursuers . If Oaheny is not in D iblin Cattle , we think he is in this vicinity still . It is re . ported that Doheny held a moonlight meeting , a few n ' ghts ago , on a mountain within four or five miles of
Carrick-oo-Sarr . The general belief is , that he is still In this neighbourhood . Since pinning the preceding about Doheny , we received tbe subjoined information from a source oa which we can place the greatest reliance : — 'The other day Djbeny wag very nearly plon-. d in Duaiarvaa . A onitaVe got Us eye on him , and instead of arresting him , aa he should hive done , kept him in view for some tinu to make tbe arrest blmtelf , and thus obtain tke entire reward .

' ei that a few n ' ghts ago they h ? d a plan laid to entrap the police—that upwards of 430 men were armed and pasted at both sides of the wood between thia tiwn and Coolnamuck , and tbat & scout was aent up by them , to give information to the p slice that Doheny would b i coming towarda C ousel at a c-rtaiahour . However , tbe p'au proved nniuccm fol , as the constabulary here are too well acquainted with persons and appearances to gfr 9 foil credence to every whisper that may came to their knowledge , ( From the correiBondent of the Morning Post )

taken down and the witnesses brought before the State prisoners , the documents were read over before all parties , in presence of Major Brownrigg and Mr Fi ; z maurice .

A SIGN OF UIISB DESTITUTION . In the county of Kerry ( be value of the agricultural property and labour has so diminished under tbe burden of poor rate , grand jury cess , and the depreciation of land rental , that several priests lately signified to Bishop Egan their absolute inability to maintain their sacerdotal rtation with ordinary decency , much less with camfort , such is the destitution of their Sacks , and that they prefer going as curates iu the larger and comparatively affluent parishes of the county . A BOLDIEB ' S LIFfl .
The soldiers that have been passing through Clonmel for a few days past , from their camp quarters at Tcrtulla , have tha appearance of men who arc worn oat by unusual hardships . Some of them declare tfeat tbey would prefer any foreign service in which they could be engaged , to the harassing duty wbiob they sustained in the camps throughout the south of Ireland . For many weeks they were required to be ready at a moment ' s notice , and their tents afforded tbem a very indifferent protection to the severity of the wet s ? ason which they experienced . There is £ 3 , 000 poor rate uncollected in Eonis
. The sentence on the soldier of the Athloce garrison found Guilty of having cursed the Queen and cbeered for Repeal , is seven yean * transportation—a warning to red-coated sympathisers . The guards of the mail-coaches robbed at Abbeyfeale have , after a consideration of the circumstances by the authorities , been restored . Aiter stating that a grazier who could manage many thousand acres of land in sheep p stures and bullock farms with' the aid perhaps of not half a dezen men , the remaining peasant pspu ' ation burrowing in the bogs , has resolved upon breaking up his establishment , the writer adds : —In other places ' extermination , ' as it is
terrred—evictionsseem to have become even a mania . I have heard myself the names ot landlords in the west of Ireland who would now permit tbe occupation of farms , whence the late tetania have been evicted , by any parties who wonld be able to till the soil and pay the poor rate . They have themselves no capital , and without it they cannot cultivate themselves their own lands which lie idle . How they hope to work en I cannot imagine . Possibly they hope the paupers will die off ; more probably that government will undertake the employment , or maintenance , or transplantation of the proportion they regard as redundant . In the nnion of Eilrusb , where we have
i flieial knowledge that one thousand houses have been thrown down , I find it stated to-day ; in a Lime rick paoer , that one geatletnan will have to pay this year stven thonssnd pounds , in poor ntes . Isheu'd be curious to know how much this gentleman ^ expends in labour . And the people do not manifest any indisposition to laboar , bat tha contrary . By and by accu tamed to pauperism and the workhouse , it will probably be difficult to withdraw the able-bodied from iht workhsuso and its drowsy inactivity . At present , in many parts of Clare , and even adjacent to the city of Limerick , the able-bcdied labourers engage with the farmers for their board without wages . Some ert twopence per day ' for tobacco . '
On Friday a deputation of noblemen and gentlemen censected with Galway waited en Lord John Russell , by appointment , at the Viceregal-lodge , to represent to his lordship the miserable condition of tbe people of that country and tbe destitution which the loss of the potato crop will necessarily entail—his lordship expressed his regret tbat , the exchequer being very low , he could not hold out any hope tbat the negotiation for a loan from the government ceuld be at present entertained , as he , without the sanction of parliament , could do nothing of himself . The deputation returned thanks for the attention with which he had received them , and withdrew . The state prisoners on trial at the commission will probably be transmitted to the south before the close ofthe ensuing week . ( Abridged from the Jfomino Post . )
¦ Mr Duffy is to be put upon his trial , not with the other accused parties in Clonmel , but before the next commission in the county of Dublin . T . M Rivers , Esq ., of Tybraughny Castle , county of Kilkenny , for whose arrest on a charge of high treason a warrant bad been issued shortly after the . iffrir of Ballingarry , is said to have arrived in France . Yesterday , at twelre o ' c ' ock , about two hundred prisoners ( all male ) were removed from Eilmainbam and Smithfield prisons . The convicts had been collected from different parts of the country for some time past . They were taken from the prisons to the North wall in covered cars , guarded by dragoons . On arriving at the lighthouse point , they were out on board one of the river steamers , and sent to Kingstown , where they were shipped on board the Pestohjee Bomanjee , which will sail for New South Wales in a few days .

nsss ON JURORS . We ( Rscohkos JocBKAtf are concerned to find that tbe sheriff of this county has received from the Exchequer authority to enforce the several fines ( £ 60 each ) imposed on nn-attending jurors at the last assizes of Roscommoa . Many persons have already paid the pinalty , and within the last week three respectable characters were lodged in tail , who , at the moment , weie unable to meet the demand .
( From the Times . ) THE WEATfflta AKD THE CE 0 F 3 . The rain has cea * ed since Sunday afternoon , but the temperature of the atmosphere continues low . Tht » accounts as to the patato are most conflicting , but the prevalent opinion certainly is that the crop will be more than halt unprofitable . The Etnas bulbs Chbonicxb says : — Tab accounts from all qusrters of this county are most conflicting as to the probable yield of the potato aad grain crops ; bnt judging from the supply of the former which areuffcred for sale in our market , we are strongly of opiaion tbat tbey are infected with tbe disesse to a great extent- Scarcely any really sound potatoes are obtainable at any price here . Tbe grain crops promise well , although tbey will not yield an average prodnce . If the weather should continue fine , it is to be heped the deficiency in the harvest crops may not turn out so extensive as it was at first prognosticated .
A gentleman , whose name does not apnear , having volunteered by letter to conduct Lard George Bentiock through some of the most ruinous and intricate parts of Dublin , his lordship sent the following reply , which appears in the Fbkbmah ' s Journal of Saturday morning : — Harcourt-bouse , Sept . 6 . Sib , —Is is all the invention of some imaginative bra ' n that I have any intention of visiting Ireland , I have no power to help her ; I can ba therefore of no good to her by going there to see the destitution and nakedness ot tbe land . If I were to go to Ireland I ssould not be above seeking information from a Repealer , or « f a personal Inspection of tbe * Liberty ot Daoiin . ' Tbe religion or politics ef a ffltuess are nothing tome ; his matter of fset information and trathfulaess is all I oinsider .
I as not a Rtpeslcr , though I probably nay enter , tain a very different opinion from you which country woild be tbe gainer and which the lour by a repeal ef the union . It was not so much through tha hostility of the Soglleh members as through the desertion and hostility of tbe Irish members ( many of tb « m Repealers ) that , In Fetroary , 1847 , Ireland lose tbe opportunity of obtaining a loin of £ 16 , 000 , 000 of English gold , at j £ 817 s . 6 j . per cent , to stimulate the construction , by private enterprise of railways la your country . Unanimous ia Palace-yard on one Tneiday in favour of the propositions I then brought forward , on tbs Thurs . dsyse ' nnightthe same sixty gentlemen having seen tbs Prime Minister at tho Foreign-cfBce ia the interval , voted two to one in the House of Gammons against giving railways to Ireland .
Out of 105 reprtientatires which Ireland possesses , twenty eight only , if my memory serves ma correctly , w uld vote for that loan to Ireland . Two-UVrds of the Irish repni .-ataiiFfjpKKat declined the measure—the rest took oare to be rum est JKveatus at the division , whbh was the boor o ! Ireland ' s need . Rend , mark , learn , end inwardly digest the division Ust , and you will find there were many more true friends of Ireland on tbat occasion , among the supporters ef tho union than among tbeRep > alers . Isitiurpritiagtbat , when Irish reprsentatlvM voted two to one against tbe acceptance of tbat measure , and when but twenty-eight out of Ireland ' s 105 could alone bs found to say 'Aye , ' a majarity of Englishmen could cot bs found willing to make a sacrifice ot English interests to force upon Ireland a boon which the majority oi Irish members tens tt \ icitfi .

without his acceptance of the viaticum . His lordsbip then remarked tbat be was going to Scotlaad by a special order to wait upon her Majesty , and be did not know for what purpose bis attendance could be required at the trial . Mr Potter stated , tbat tbe legal advisers of Mr Smith O'Bri . n considered bis lordship ' s attendance and evUeaoe absolutely requisite . The Premier then requested that if it should still be domed neoeesary to examine himas a witness , he should receive intimation to that « fi \ ct as early as possible , in order to enakla bim tf > make arrangements for attending the trial at Clonmel . Mr Potter repeated tbat he had reason to before bis lordship ' s evidence would be indispensable on the trial , and then withdrew , after which Lord John Russell stepped Into his carriage aud drove off to Kingstown ,
( From tbe Sun . ) It is supposed that the object of the accused is to obtain from bis lordship a distinct enunciation of opinion respecting the extent ef prosecution which would justify armed resistance to authority , and perhaps also ascertain how far his lordship ' s prac . iee as a statesman agret a with hia thenrins as a historian , la his lordship ' s Life of Lord William Russell , dootrises are broached and promulgated which would go ts show that obedience t » bad laws was a crime , and resistance even togoid laws badly administered , a duty .
STATE OF IRELAND . ( From the 3 / omin ^ Chronicle ) The priests are loyal , exactly in the same sen ? e as the mass of the peasantry are " loyal—that is , they abstain from acts of open disloyalty , because the country is filled with bayonets and cannon , and they bave no wish to knock tbeir bead against thsm in a hopeless-fight ; but let a chance be given to themlet a French expedition land at Bantry Bay , or let ihsi * army of occupation' ba called away on foreign service , and a very different tale will be told at _ the Munster altars—a very different countenance will be shown by the peasantry , ay , and by the middle classes , both in the country and in the towns .
One fact is worth a thoosicd inference * . In tbe city of Limerick there is a population of 60 , 000 , and of these there were found but three hundred who would offer the ' r services to the local authorities , and whom the latter considered fit to bo trusted with arms , in the event of an insurrection . In Kilkenny matters were even worse , for out of a population nearly half as large as that of Limerick , it was calculated tbat there would be but twenty jive actively loyal-in Waterford , between three and four hundred—and soon . Iu short , throughout the entire south and west of Ireland , the higher gentry stand alone among a population eager for their destruction , and as universally and radically hostile to the
government which restrains them as the Spaniards were to that of Joseph Buonaparte , or , to use a more apt illustration , as the Communists of the ' Roe Saint Jacques , ' are to that of the French Dictator . ( From the correspondent of the Southern Reporter . ) I have paid a visit to Messrs O'Brien and Meagher in Kilmainham , and have the satisfaction to acquaint yon tbat they enjoy excellent health j and are in very good spirits , considering the anxiety necessarily attendant on the circumstance * of their position . I am enabled to state that one ef tbe first witnesses who will be examined for the defence on behalf of Mr O'Brien will be no other than—Lord John Russell .

AM 0 THBEB BEBKIWOH IN T 1 PPBKART Doblut , Wednesday rnornii'g . — The Kilkenny Modbbaioe , printed late last night , contains intelligence of a serious character . The peasantry of Tipperary were then collecting at Slietenamon mountain , and it was supposed Doheny and several other outiawed chieftains were with them . The Limerick Reporter britfly alludes to the fact : The following iafrom the Kilkehnt Modeeator : — IMPOBTAST fROH THE COUKtr TIPPgRARTHUMOURS OF AN OUTBBBAK .
We stated in our last publication tbat from the information which we had received through several authentic channels from Carrick aud Its neighbourhood , another appeal to arms on the part of the defeated insurgents ef Billingarry mig ht be immediately expected . Reports received as we are going to press folly prove tbe cor . rectness of oar anticipations . On Friday last , In consequence of a rumour being e float that a' black night ' or general rising and massacre was ( o take place , tbe troops in Carrick and Piltown , consisting of the greater portion of tbe 3 rd Buffs , and a company of the 83 rd , together with the constabulary of the district * were p aced under arms and were kept in readiness for action till the foliating morning . However , thenightpa » sed over without any alarm , and the entire rumour was mated as an Idle
report . This state of things lasted till Monday evening , when a report was received from the Slate Q Jarry P . ilic ; Station ( county ef Kilkenny ) that a oamp bad been formed on the portlea of the Shevenamen range of hi'Is neighbouring that district , and that beacon fires were everywhere gl jaming on the heights . The military and constabulary were immediately placed under arms , and were in espeotation of an attack on Carrick or the Bosborough encampment durlag the entire night and yesterday morning . When our informant—a trastworthy gentleman intimately connected with some ef tbe local authorities—left Piltown , they were still In readiness , and reports corroborating the first intelligence as to the
rebel encampment were pouring in from all the surrounding police stations . It was generally stated that > he intention ofthe insurgents was to break down tho bridges on the mtin roads leading towards tbe eoeno of action , in order to impede tbe advance of troops . This rumour is supported by tbe statement of a car driver , nho arrived in this city from Waterford , at about three o ' clock p . m . yesterday , and who asserts tbat tbe battle ments bad been removed from Granny Bridge , near tbe latter city , and an unsuccessful attempt made to throw downthe area on Monday night by tbe peasantry . The same man states that a large concourse of people had assembled at B & Uyhale , In this county , fVr the purpose , he believed , of jainiog the insurgent camp at Slleve .
namon LAim iNrrmestrcc . Information baa just been received hero that vatt orewds of tbe peasantry are throwing to the rebel camp , from every direction . No attempt has been yet made by the military to dislodge ths Insurgents , but a portion of tbe 8 rd Buffs is stated to have advanced from Piltown aud Cregg , which lies n < ar the rebel position . Saveral persons travelling ta . Carrick are eald to bave been slopped and made prisoners by the Insurgents , who bave been amaslag themselves all day firing thote in the oamp . A mounted policeman has just arrived with die . patcbei to tho authorities here—the contents , of course , have net yet transpired . The Likebick Rxpobieb thus alludes to the rumoured rebellion : —

We have no means of verifying the rumour . FCBTflER PARTICULARS OF THE RSNEWBD REBELLION . ( From the Morning Chronicle ) Waibrjohb , September 12 ih . —It is with much regret I hare to acquaint you that for the past week armed patties have been going atout at midnight through some parishes in the neighbouring county of Kilkenny , warning the farmers and labourers to be prepared to attend when called upon . These proceedings are said to have taken place owinij te the
newly out crops being in possession of bailiff * placed over them by the landlords , who appear determined to have their rents at all hasards , This morning some uneasiness waa felt here as to the Dublin coach , due at five o ' clock , which did not arrive at the appointed time , but at ten minutes before six it reached the post-office , when James Doolaa , the guard , reported t hat he was stooped at Granagh-bridge , within one mile and a half of this city , by 500 armed men , who deolared their intention of detaining tho mail until the bridge was blown up , which it is said they endeavoured to do , but failed in their purpose . The bridge has been visited by several persons to-day ; tbe battlements are much broken , and the centre torn up ton considerable extent . A government
steamer which fortunately arrived was moored within fifty yards of the bridge . In the meantime a police eavaiier arrived frorn Portlaw for assistance , and 500 men of the 85 th Regiment who had only arrived here from the Camp of Turtulla on Saturday , and whe were expecting to enjoy a little rest after tbe fatigue they bad undergone , were ordered off to Cutrsghmore , the rdmour being that that village was attacked last night ; that the police fired from their barrack window ; that two or three of the rebels were killed ; that the police barracks were entered , and their arms taken ; and that seven swivel-guns were taken from the Marquess of Waterford at Corraghmore , which place it will bo recollected his lordship promised he could defend against tbe assaults of 10 , 000 pikemen -

fctCmKGlHBMAlLB . Dublin , Wednesday Morning . —As the Cork mail was on its way to Dublin , it was met by a party of the people , who told the coachman and guard toreturn , as there was a collision between the police and the people at the Glenbower police-station . Ou arrival a man was found lying dead in ' the road ; the police were still safe , but expected a renewed at tack . The coachman hurried on to Callan , where he delivered a note from the police asking for assistance . The mail-coach did not meet with any obstacle on the part of the peasantry , who are in a high state of exoitemant , in consequence of ejectments in the neighbourhood and seizures of corn for rent .
The Waterford mail , which left Dublin yesterday ( Tuesday ) morning , was stopped near Graany-bridge by a large party of men , who in the first instance would not allow the coach to pass , as they were about to puddown the bridge . After some remonstrance they permited it to be drawn across . On arrival at Waterford , tbe guard reported the circumstance to the postmaster and to Sir C . O'Donnell , the General of the district . ( From the correspondent of the Morning Chronicle , ) ESCAPE OF MR mtHAKD o ' oSBHAtr .
I have learned from a well-informed source , tbat Mr Richard O'Gorman , for whose apprehension , on a charge of high treason , a reward of £ 300 had been offered by the government , has at length effected his escape from this country . On Thursday last Mr O'Gorman , with two other fugitives , Messrs J , O'Donoell . solicitor , and Doyle , of Limerick , got on board afishisg smack at a place called Carrig-a-gan-Dial , on tbe Lower Shannon , and were safely conveyed to a vessel which had been waiting at sea , out of reach of the government cruisers . The vessel at once cot under weigh , and the owner of the smack returned to the Shannon , It is stated tbat be received £ 200 for his exertions , after producing a certificate from Mr O'Gorman of the faithful discharge of the perilous duty he had undertaken . LORD JOHH ' S VISIT—THE ' WEATHER ANB THE CBOPi—STATE OP THB C 0 UKIRT -- BPVttU AND THE OPERA .
( Frem our own CorrespondentJ Dobiw , 11 th September . The news I have to communicate to day is neither voluminous nor important . Wo are at a' dead-lock ' for something to talk' about in Dublin this week . Lord John Russell and bis movements kept our tongnes going and our sides cracking , last week , bat now—more ' s the pity—we have not a word in our cheeks . It was expected that Lord George Bentinck was coming over to emulate the glories of Lord John ' s Irish tour , but it appears we may hang eur harps on the banks of the Liffey , and weep over our blighted expectations . The London correspondent ef tbe Fbeeman's JovUhal was tbe person who set this blast blowing , and did so without the shadow of authority , as Lord George himself has taken up pen
and ink . and indignantly repudiates ever having any notion of coming amongst us ., That wiseacre ofthe Frkbman gives us very laughable opinions as to the cause of Lord George refusing to do . what bis lordship swears he never had . a notion of doing ; . He tells us that fot * not certain (!) whether his lordship declined coming in compliance with the wishes of the government , who feared if he were to show himself in ' The Green isle , ' the light , which Russell was shedding there would be utterly eclipsed ; er whether he feared : the fi hg he made at poor Mitchai i . ia Parliament might be revenged by some of that unfortunate gentleman ' s friends in Ireland ! This fellow who 'does ' the Frbkman in London , deserved a 'lift !' lie takes so many ' rises ' out of the gulls over here , that it is certainly a pity he should go unrequited . I hope his employers will' see about it . '
Lord John is gone from us ! Nobody still knows what brought htm , unless indeed it was that , like the late Daniel O'Concell , he fancied he would get 'fat by abuse , ' and that he wished to have personal proof of the' ballyragging' powers of the Jaokeenery of Dublin . Never was a man so unfortunate in a visit . Whenever he showed his laughter provoking phiz , he was the unpitied object of contempt , ridioule , and the most unmitigated pergonal abuse . The very chimney-sweeps iu the streets held up their sooty firgers in scorn at the Premier , and the miserable tag-rag offering his box of congreves for a farthing , looked as if he would not exchange his situation for that of'Finality Jack . '
Never was man so dessiscd , so scorned , and yet so little noticed . He carries home with him neither cur « e uor blessing , but he will long be remembered in Dublin with feeUegstomethingakintb those w . th which tbe weli . ftd hulking English labourer regards the dwarfish , starved-looking emigrant reaper from the wilds of Galway or Mayo . Ho leaves behind a name associated with every thing that is contemptible in per . son , mean in manner , and trickish , imbecile , and spiteful in public conduct . Such have been the fruits ( as yet ripened ) of Lord John ' s great visit to Irelandin . l 8 i 8 . ..,.,-..
There is ivery little news of importance from the interior of Ireland . The weather , is i fine and sunny , the harvest is ' being secured quickly , and every kind of crop is said to be ' turuihij out' fat belter than was expected . The potatoes however , will be a failure ; let people say what tbey will . ' There are strange reports in Dublin oh this day in connexion with the South of Ireland and the rebels . It is ' said that there is unmistaheable symptoms ot an approaching outbreak—that the peasantry hold reviews by moonlight every other night—that pikes are being manufactured—and * . that various woods and groves iu the . neighbourhood , of Slieyenarann and Carrick are being thinned of trees to make pikenhlAB . They say there is a mysterious , dodged
determination amongst all the people in the counties ot Kilkenny , Limerick , and Tipperary ; tbat they are keeping up constant correspondence with other parts of Ireland , and that early in October , a general massacre of the troops and loyalists , all over Munster , is in contemplation , Government , too , have received information on these matter ? , and , it is said , will keep np the present military force during the winter , though afow days ago it was their determination to withdraw several regiments from different localities . Whether these rumours be worthy of credit , lam hot in a position to say , but certain it is , the people are determined not to remain astheyars . The Catholics ofthe south do not look on the Ballingarry
failure , or on the dispersion of'Young Ireland' as a national defeat . I verily -believe tbat a great portion of them are glad of the turn recent affairs have taken , and , atleast . sb far as Smith O'Brien is involved , feel very little concern for the imprisoned leaders . My opinion is , if England dees not show a disposition to do justice , the Munster peasantry will not be long it ) quiet . And if they rise at all , it will ba as ' a Catholic' party , and the consequences at every side must be dreadful . Smith O'Brien ' s defeat has had no terrifying effect on the great majority ofthe people of . 'Munster . The priests were not at the head of it ; if they were , the people would rise to a man , 2 nd p ould fight ii ssi to we destbi
But Dubux, Sept 7.—The Oorrerpondent Oft...
England knnws that too , and hence the present policy towards Rome and Popery . The Whigs dread the Irish Roman Catholic Clergy . The clergy , on tueir part , know this , and will not give up without ' twenty shillings in tbe pound' of the ' Ould debt . ' Tbey will not allow a fight so long as they can keep * utof it ; but , believe we , they will not be an hour at rest until they are satisfied . The state trials will commence at Clonmel on the 21 st inst . Smith O'Brien , T . F . Meagher , and Mr M'Manus the Chartist , will be tried on that occasion . A whole host of' informers' and witnesses have been brought up from the scenes of the late Munster riots , and were confronted with Mr O'Brien in Kilmainham last week . Several identified that gentleman as
having led the attack on Boulagh Common and . on tbe police barrack at Mullinahone . Mr M'Manus was identified by constable Carroll as the person who carlitfHoffhia horse . They wili'be certainly transported , if nothing mere trario befals them . There are strange reports about other parties being ' splitting ' as well as the police and ' detective' mercenaries . Nothing good , nothing respectable , nothing successful could come of it . There were some as glorious fellows connected with the late insurrectionary mevementa in Ireland as ever the world produced ; but I must say the majority of those , even at the council , were paltry , selfish , low-reared and skulking wretches . Iu future communications I will treat this subject more fully , and prove the truth of what I now only
assert . The Italian Opera is closed with us- The wondrous Grisi is gone , but the ramie admiring folk of our city will Jong rem -tuber with pleasure tbe glorioas tones of the incomparable Julia . Jenny Lind is to be over here one of those days , and will open her throat on the Dublin boards some evening early in October . Poor as we are , I am certain tbe ' Swedish Nightingale' will' feather her nest' in the Irish metropolis .

.-MtStbbious AFr * iR .--Another of those artfully-coneooted and very mysterious robberies which are occasionally brought under the notice of the public , has just taken plane , the plunder being no less in amount than £ 2 , 000 , From information which has bsen received , it appears that on Tuesday week last a strong deal box , about eight inches sqnare , and iron bound , centaining 2 , 000 sovereigns , was sent from the firm of Messrs Praed and Co ., F ; eet street ; addressed to Tweedy and Co ., bankers , Trnro , Cornwall . It was forwarded in the first instance , to Chaplin and Home ' s offices . Swan with Two Necks , Lad lane , to be by them conveyed io the usual course to tbe PaddingtOB station . On the next morning a box , which was sent by the mail train directed as
above , was received at the establishment of Messrs Tweedy and Co ., and on its being opened it was found to contain nothing more than a quantity of melted pewter and other rubbish . Io turns out that the said box was of somewhat larger dimensions than the oae seat from Praed ' s , bnt that the address thereon was a very good imitation of tbat on the original box for which the ether had been in so artful and extraordinary a way substituted . A gentleman from the Trure bank named , accompanied by an officer of police , arrived at Paddington late on Thursday night , when they had an immediate interview with Mr Saunders , the secretary of the railway company . Mr CoJlard , tbe active superintendent ot the company ' s police , io , with other officers , upon the alertin order to discover
, , if possible , the perpetrators of the robbery . The Ocsan Monarch . —At Blackpool , a wateringplace on the north-western coast / north of Liverpoo l , nearly a dozen bodies have been thrown up by the sea , supposed to have been passengers by the Ocean Monarch . A figure head , supposed to be tbat of the ill-fated vesse l , has been thrown up there . Manslaughter b ; a Dauohibb . —An inquest was held en Saturday last before Mr W . Carter , at the Canterbury Arms , Upper Marsh-street , Lambeth , on Elizabeth Shields , aged 60 —Mr Hemming , of 11 . Upper Marsh , stated that the deceased had a room ac his house , and on Wednesday alterneon , the 30 th of August , he heard a noise in the pas . age as of persons fighting , and npen going there he saw the deceased
and her daughter struggling together , the deceased laying ; hold of the hair of her daughter , who was trying to pull her down . He tried to part them bnt oould not , and at last the deceased fell and pulled her daughter on her . She struck the back of ber head with great violence , and her cap was instantly delu ged in blood . Her eyes were also much blackened . A policeman was sent for , and the deceased gave her daughter into custody on a charge of assault , and for stealing a £ 10 note . On the following Sunday she became very ill , and was attended by Mr O ' sShea , a surgeon , up to the time of her death on Thursday . Mr Hemming added that the deceased was continually intoxicated and was very abusive to her daughter .
—A child named Forster stated tbat she saw Mary Ann West throw a piece ef brick on the Wednesday afternoon , which struck deceased on the back of the head . —Police-constable Norman , 23 L said , that while he was taking the daughter to the station-house , she said' She would murder the old faggot , ' meaning her mother . —Mr O'Sbea , of Mount street surgeon , was examined at considerable length , and his opinion was that death was the result of a lacerated wound found at tbe back of . the head . —After some other witnesses had been examined the Coroner summed np the evidence , and the jury returned a verdict ol ' Manslaughter against Mary Ann West . '—The Coroner then made out his warrant for her committal .
Frightful Accident at the New Houssa ey Parliaxbnt . —On Friday week , Patrick Farrell , one of the men employed at the New Houses of Parliament , met with a dreadful accident . lie was at work at the top of the shaft for ventilating the House of Commons , and while an immense chair for hoisting the masonry was being lowered by means ot crab he extended his foot to catch it in its descent , and direct the lower extremity to its proper point . He had done this several times before , but on this occasion the chair was lowered with greater rapidity than usual , and being unprepared fer the shock , he was drawn from his footing . Assistance at the time was impossible , and he fell to the bottom of the shaft , a depth of 100 feat . He was picked up in an insensible state , bleeding profusely from various parts of
the body , and was taken to tbe Westminster Hospital . He lies there without the least hope of recovery . Fire near Leicester- ! quark . —On Sunday evening , shortly before five o ' clock , the premises belonging to Messrs Wookey acd Ca ., known as Cranbourne H 0 ute . No . 30 , Cranbourne-street , Leicester-square , were discovered to be on fire . The building , which was very extensive , was fitted up in a cog' . ly style with plate glass , and was occupied as a lace and millinery warehouse . The shop atone contained a great deal of valuable property , and when the first alarm was given the ground-floor was in a general blaze . Two or three engines quickly arrived , and the firemen succeeded in preserving the upper part of the premises , but the whole of the valuable stock-intrade , chandeliers , mirrors , and plate glass , in the shop were destroyed .
Mail-Guard Killed on the Lohdoh and North Western Railway . —On Saturday morning last , about three o'clock , an accident occurred on this line at Crewe , by which a mail-guard iras deprived of life . Tbe man's same was Leigh Hare , and he had left Manchester by the mail train which forms a junction at Crewe with the mails from Liverpool , Chester , and Holyhead , on their way to London . It was hie duty to remain at tbe Creve station till the down mail from London arrived , a little after three in the mttuiag , and then return to Manchester with thebags previously brought by the Chester acd Holyhead up trains for Manchester . The guards bave a room at Crewe in which to lock their bags during the five hours they wait lor the down mail , and Hare having waited till within few minutes
a ofthe time the train was due , was carrying his . Chester and Holyhead bags acto * B the line in readiness to start for Manchester , when a luggage train suddenly came upon him , the engice of which knocked him down on one ot the rails , and the wheels of the engine and wag . gona on that side went over his body and head , crushing them . Hare was a tall and rather fine-looking man , well-known en the road between Leicester acd MaBehester , for many years before the London and Nitrth-Western Railway was epened , as the guard of tho old four-horse London and Manchester mail on that pare ofthe journey . Fatal Accidbwt on the River . —On Tuesday an inquest was held at Limeheme , on the body of James Watkins Guest , aged 21 years , a sawyer . On

Middlesex Sessions. At The Sitting Of Th...
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . At the sitting of these sessions on Tuesday , an sp . plication was made on beha'f of Mr Wool ' cr . Some of our readers may recollect that Mr Wooller took an active part in the political agitation some years ago , and made himself famous bv his publication . ' The Black Dwarf . ' Mr Prsndkrgast said , he was about to make a somew . hat extraordinary application , and it was one , too , whioh very much affected a gentleman sf the name of Woolier , who in yeata gone by occupied a very nelebrated position before the public . Mr Wooller , however , was not the same as he had been in the days to which he referred ; for the truih wa » that the infirmities with which that gentleman had been visited
long had rendered him quite a different mau . _ However , be that as it might , Mr Wooller had , in serving a client , placed himself in a difficulty . It appeared that a person whom Mr Wooller was instructed to defend had been convicted by the magistrates at the police court of some offence arisingout of transactions in respect of a watcb , and thinkinp . as well as hia client , that the latter had a good defence , he bad given notice of an appeal against the conviction at the last sessions . The defendant , however , it would seem , had only one surety to otkr at that time , therefore , on his application , wr Wooller consented to become the second surety . Ihe necessary sureties were thus given to appear and prosecute the appeal . By some mistake , however , the appeal was not entered , whereupon the recognnancea were e « treated , and in of
pursuance that estreat the Sheriff had taken Mr Wooller ia execution , and tbat gentleman had been in prison some days . As the matter now came before the Court , the question was , whether the recognisances in the case of Mr Wooller were ta be enforced or not * The learned Judos said , that he should be sitting for several days , and if Mr Woelier would on any one of tho « e days deliver up his client , Morrison , or cause the payment of the £ 6 10 s ., or the surrender of the watch , the Court would then have no difficulty ia directing the releise of that gentleman . As soon a * Morrison was in custody , than there would be no dif . ficulty in tbe case . Let Morrison come in and surrender , or let Mr Woolier produce him ; and then , when the principal waa iu limbo , the Court would at once proceed te the assistance of Mr Wooller . Mr Prbndbroast was inclined to think that the
results pointed out were not the most seductive , wt were tbey . in his opinion , sufficiently so as to induce a man to come into court personally , Tbe learned Judge said , that either the watch , or the £ 6 10 * ., or the person of the client Morrison , Eiust be forthcoming befere the Court could interfere * Two diminutive lads , named Thomas Wal . ' ace , and George Herbert , each sixteen years of aite , were found guilty of stealing 5 ilbs . of bacon , the property ef Thomas Wright . fbe prisoner " Herbert was convicted in the name of William Kelly , at these sessions , in August , 1846 , and being proved to be the constant associate of thieve * , and a convicted thief himself—tbe court sentenced him to be transported for seven years . The Assistant-Judge observed , that this was one
of those oases with which the prison inspectors had interfered , being totally ignorant ofthe character of the boy , who was very bad indeed . That court had received full information about the prisoner , and the sentence the court pronounced was estimated accordingly , but the court had added to that sentence a recommendation that the lad should be admitted inti the establishment for young convicts at Parkhurst . Instead , however , of sending the prisoner out of the country , or attending to the recommendation , the inspectors had bim removed to tbe prison at Millbank , from which he waa liberated last August Now this boy wa ? , it appeared from information in possession of the court , one of a gang of
tnieves , notorious in the neighbourhood of Drurylane , and was besides about the worst conducted boy ever sent to prison . When he was sentenced before he had been previously , conviited , yethu sentence bad been commuted , the effect of the recommendation of this court . If such recommendations were to be treated in that mancer , they need not he made » t all , and he should make no more . The prisoner , however , could not be permitted to remain in this country , and it was to be hoped that this time he wnuld be gent away . The other prisoner , Wallace , had been before convicted , and he had but just come out of prison . The sentence was that they each be transported for seven years .
The Weather And The Crops. The Past Week...
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS . The past week was , on the whole , very favourable for the completion of the harvest , there being some fine sunny days , with drying winds . Oa Saturday and great part of Sunday , we had again a good deal of rain ; but yesterday was fine , though with a sensible change in the atmosphere for the colder . The grain in this neighbourhood is now , with very little exception , put under tbatcb . It would appear that tbe late fine weather has arrested the further pro * gress of the potata disease , if , indeed , it has not to some extent restored it to a healthier conditio ? .. O'her field crops ate looking well . —Iftierpool Standard .
The harvest in this part ofthe kingdom is drawing to a close , and after making diligent inquiry ol sevfl " ral parties competent to judge , we give the following as the result : —The wheat under an average crop , and indifferently , in feme instances badly saved . The barley and oats above an average crop , sufficient to make an aggregate average of these three BOtta of grain , and the quality of the two last being generally good ; this is so far satisfactory , but the general report of the state of the potato crop , which is said to ba in a worse state than even that of 1846 6 , gives a sombre tinge to the future , which it ia difficult to avoid , when we consider how much has been found to depend upon the produce of that escu * lent . —Devonshire Chronicle .
SCOTLAND . On _ Friday and Saturday last , the weather was occasionally aaowery ; but as there were at intervals bright sunshine and drying brefzss , harvest operations were not entirely interrupted . A good deal of grain in stock has now been exposed for a considerable time ; but as the temperature has been low , no harm has yet ensued from sprouting . The weather during the last week , with the exception of Monday and Tuesday , was generally rather unfavourable in this district ; but we are glad to observe that in other parts of the country the season was highly auspicious , and over the greater part of England the harvest is rapidly coming to a conclusion . At the principal grain markets prices have still a downward tendency , lesterday was a charming day , and we were glad to notice that the mercury in the barometer was graually ascending . The accounts from the various
districts of Scotland Iran to tbe pleasing side . The report from Stirlingshire , for instance , has the following : — ' The harvest is proceeding rapidiy and during the last week every one was busy . A considerable quantity of wheat is already in the stack-yard , and with the exception of beans , all other grains are about ready for the sickle . Seme of our farmers , oi handling their wheat andbarley , an convinced that the crop of both will considerably exceed that of last year . In further proof of tie be * nefit to be derived from pulling away the shows from the potatoes where the disease is suspected to exist , we may mention that the experiment was tried in e > field in the immediate neighbourhood of tho town . Several plants were intentionally left , and the result was that where the sbaws were removed the tuberi did well , while where they were permitted to remain the tubers were fast decaying .

All the passengers and crew were vived , but notwithstanding all the efforts employed the fire could not be got under for an hour and a-balf , by whioh time tbe upper part of the vessel and the greater portion of the cargo were destroyed .
