As is known to most of our readers , tbie portion of railway is used in common by the Great Yv " e 353 raand Midiacd companies , a line oi four feet nine inch rails being laid within th » broader ones . On Friday aftern-iiis , a nn ^ ibir of men , ia the eajplsy of Mr Blinkaoi-ii , contractor , were cc ^ aged in removing old , and laying d ^ wn nsw ballast , at Halberly-bridge , three miiei u 21 Cheltenham . Tlis work , owing to the alsoa cjns . ant trafiic psssing over a portion of tho lice u 3 : d by these two l & r ^ e coiupanies , is liable to very frequeac interruption , and is aa occupation of great danger ,
requiring « raost vigiant look-oat ta bs Ktpt by tho woikan-r-, or by some one in their behalf . Accordingly , Illr Biinkhorn has employed a lad io attend to this important duty , and to ring a large uad strongly sourtding bell , as a warning to the men on tho ap preach of a train either up or dovn ; and it is but justice to Mr Blinkhorn to state that he vo ' entarily adopted this course out of regard fcr the sa ' ety cf his men , iaaMticn to udrgall the other measures of precaution imposed upon bin by the rules of the railway cospany . It would stem thai whan the aceidsiii occwrcd , the men , bring warned by -lbs btli that a train % & z approaching , Jeft off irorlr , =. ad siosd ntderthebri ^^ o to & haw \ e the ima a ' s itjavsd .

Whilst so engaged , a broad gaoge train ( ihs twelve o ' c ' : ck train , irorn l \; ddinglon to ChelteLham ) , cama up in the opposite direction , acd along the line on which tbe men were s-tanSing . The boy rang Kg beS , and ihe driver of * h " . aporoaehisg train sounded the large "shistle oi ? us eneVne , but uuhsppily all to no perpose . The j . 00 / io . i'swa tither teard not at all or vsiy indistinctly the warning notes , owing tg the reveibtr & Uon cau : c by the train whose motion they were wat : Lin » nnder the bridge where they were standing ; or , il they heard the whisile and bell at all , they thought orobablytbe warning wss given in reference to the train then passing them . Be this as it may , the unhappy men remaiced inattentive or deaf to the saving sound of either whistle or bell , and in an instant they were -. 'Teiran by the train . Three of tne unformnate men were killed on tha spot— de ith must 1 » k e becii as instsntaneous as if ths victimg had been

struck by a flash of lightning , and infinitely more horrible to look up on ; for the mutilated remnants of mortality scattered about the line , are described to as as giving to the spot all the horrors of a slaughterhouse . Two more unfortunate men wore knocked down aud frightfully mangled . The three men who were killed were named Witts , Newman , and Paul ; and an inquest will be held on their remains at the Cheltenham Railway station this afternoon . The other two men , who were seriously wounded , aro named Ford and Wilks . The former has his arm and thigh severed from his body , and the latter has part of his arm and a portion of hia foot cat off . They lie in a very dangerous , almost helpless state , at the Cheltenham Hospital . All the five mm were married , and have tamilies . —An inquest was held at the
C'linpisses Inn , Cheltenham , near the Great Wtstern Railway , on Monday , on the bodies of the thres railway labourers , viz , Joel Witts , aged 32 ; Wil . iam Bull , 24 ; and John Newman , 32 . Several witr-esas were examined , when Dr Brookes , medical olncc-r to the Cheltenham district of the Great Western Railway , and who arrived by the pilot engine on the spot shortly after the accident happened , described the nature of the injuries which had caused tbe decsased ' s death . Newman had the top of his head cat off , and the piece was lying at a considerable distaaca from the body . The injured men had told him that they did not notice tha approach of the T'as ? enper engine . The jury relumed a verdict of * Accidental D ? ath .

Shockixg Mooter at Stockport . —The feelings of the community of Stockport and its neighbour - hO :- d were very much shocked at an early hour on Friday , the 15 : h inst ,, by the perpetration of a coldblooded and deliberate murder , an event that has not occurred ia this borough for very many years , Th ? . perpetrator of this crime is James Kelly , batwsea 25 and 30 years of age , who was employed at M ? Orrell ' s , Travis Brook Mill ; and his victim is a young woman named Elizi Faulkener , of comely appearance , somewhat over twenty years of age , who also worked at the same mill as a throstlep piniier . The deceased and Kelly had some time k ? pt company , buther friends having lately told her : ome circumstances connected with his life previous to their acquaintance , she determined to break off
ihe connexion with him , and had told him so several days previously . On Thursday night he went to her lodgings at Mrs Dvson ' s and solicited an interview . She granted it , End stated to him that besides being a Chartist he had been io prison . lie replied he had feen in prison for poaching at Preston ; but aha told him that all her friends had threatened to turn their backs npnn her if she continued to receive his addresses , and that she had firmly made up her mind never to marry him , or indeed meet him again . On Friday morning about half-past five o ' clock , he went fc tha house again , and called her by name , knowing iha- she would be going at that hour to work . She left heme with her landlady ' s daughter , and he joined thtm al tbe entry end , where it is supposed
h i renewed his entreaties to be received again as a lover , and sho refused ; the other girl had before that lelt her . They crossed Norris-street together at the entry end , and were close to the window and tor of a Mrs Sleigh , near the turning into Hopestree :, and not more than forty yards from the entry end , when she gave a loud scream , and Mrs Sleigh opening the doer at the time , saw a torrent of blood gushing from her throat , and the unfortunate girl the nest , moment precipitated herself into Mrs Slti o u o arms . Mrs Sleigh attempted to carry her across the street to her lodgings , but she fell down upon the fia £ ? , just outside the door , and died almost instantly . Several persons were witness to the attacking deed , and the prisoner was at once
apprehended by three men , who stated to Bowers , the officer , that the man they had in custody was charged with almost cutting his wife ' s head off . Bowars , addressing the prisoner , asked if he heard what the msn siid against him . The prisoner replied , ' It is true . ' He then asked Bowsrsto sit down by the side c ! him , whica be did , ffhen the prisoner said , 'It is astray wife , but my sweetheart . It ' s all her friends ' fault , they tiled to persuade her all they could not lo keep company with me . ' He was then lscked op and an officer placed in the cell to watch him . He had a cat ou hh lefc hand at the time , which bled profusely , and this was dressed . The murder was perpetrated ttiih a long sharp knife , wkich the
prisoner immediately after threw away , but it was soon afitrwaria picked up in the street , and is now in possession of Policeman Walt : vs . The deceased had neither father nor mother living , but she had two iister . ' Sh < -is represented as a girl of good character , quietds-pojUion , and steady habit ? . The inquest -as h ' . ld on tha body , before Mr Ruttcr , coroner , at tbe Gcc-sn public houja , Ueatsn-Iane , at four o'clock on Friday afternoon . The tbove statement was tally corrobsrafed by saveral witnesses . The coroner aavin ? btkfiy summed np , the jury returned a verdict cf' Yfiil ' ul Murder , against James Kelly , ' who was then committed to Kirkdala on the charge . — Manchester Guardian .
Murder , of Two Children in Staffordshire — WiLtEXHAii , Friday , Sept . 15 . —This afternoon an inquest was held before Mr T . M . Phillies , coroner , upon the ! -odies of two children , named Edwin Jones , a ^ cd eighteen roorths , and Sarah Spencer , aged twelve years , who wera murdered iate on Wednesday eight by a woman named Maria Jones , mother ot the first aud aunt to the second unfortunate victim of her undoubted insanity . The facts of this horrible caie may be told shortly . The woman charged with the-murders is the wife of a working man named Enoch Jones , in apparently comfortable circumstance ' . She is a very interesting looking young womai > , and appears from her conversation when in a right state of mind to have received an education
superior to those moving in hsr sphere of life . About three months since her husband noticed a change in her usual behaviour ; she neglected her household aff . iir .- . andtcemed absorbed in religious speculaiiuns , Her msncei' became so strange , that ultimately it wis deened advisable ta place her in tha lunatic ward ofthe Wolverhampton Union Workhouse . She a ' a * , however , discharged oa Wednesday last , at the hsteuco of two of her relatives , named Maria Hadley nnd Martha Jones . She then appeared to ba in a rational state . Daring her short stay at the union wotkhouze her child waa at the . house of a sister-inlaw , and on her raturn she took it home with her , beine accMspacied by the little k " ' , Sarah Spencer Aboat sine o ' clock that night the neighbours wew
alarmed by the woman's crle ? from a window , dccltriog { hat she had murdered the childran ; aud she then attempted to cut her own throat , but she only Eucceedsd in inflicting a slight wound . ^ The neighbours entered , and found the infant with its i ; C-ad entirely severed from its body , and lying a few inches from if-. The girl ' s throat was also cut , but t !;< 3 head waa only half severed from the body , and she appesred to have struggled considerably , At tue time the pai ties entered the house the woman 37 : 8 threatening to kill any person who should lay fcands on htr . Sho was . however , soon secured , and taken back to tho workhouse at Wolverhampton abou' twelve o ' clock at night . Itis said that during her stay at the workhouse it was not deemed
necesssry to placo her under any particular restraint . Herhusbandiswhatin this country is termed a * ffhiiacey' man , nnd necessarily at some perisos worin at the pit all night . The next morning the Koman entered into conversation with Mr Abbott , the soTDraC'r of the workbouw , and in the presence of Colonel Hogg , deputy chief constable of Staff jrdsh ' we , narrated the manner in which she committed theerime ? . She ^ tated tlnisbosen : the little girl to bed with the c ' aild before eight o ' clock , and then walked down the hne with a neighbour , named Mrs Cave . She returned , bolted the door , aud went to brri hercelf , but did not slejp . Sha then got up and ssarcled for a wzw with which to cut the child ' s throat , as shs teiicved it wauld be damned owing to its having been christened by a Catholic priest . Kot befog rtble to find a razor she got a black-handled kuife , which she sharpened against a steel , went up stairs , then cuv ibe throat of her niece , but did not
cut the head quite off . She then declared that she ought to suffer for spilling the poor baby ' s blood-At times the unfortunate woman appeared calm and collected , ard reproached herself bitterly for the crime ; but at others she was exceedingly violent , threatened to kill those around her . and had she not tieea prevented by the parties watching would have ; trar-g'ed hrr-elf . The inquest stands adjourned , ?/ u : no person s ; ems fo entertain a doubt as to the prisoner's - ' TBaniiy . The adjourned inquest was held on Wcdce-fdav -u the bodies of the two children , and has terminated in a verdict of Wilful Murder against tho unfortunate woman . Since the horrible occurrence the wretched woman has been in the work , house at Wolverhampton in a state of insanity . She . however , is sufficiently sensible of having commi ' -ttd iho terribleoffence , and has repeatedly acknowledged her guilv . She will ba removed to Stafford gaol to takehsr trill at the next a sizes .
Mktsrious Case- —Two Children Foisosed . — Gmucestev Wednesday . —Soma sensation has teen created in this city by a report thst a whole family hisa bro » poisoscd , ifiuethrjr accidentally or maliciously yet remains to ba ascertained . On Friday week John Kca , Journey man currier , of Have-lane , got no eariy , aud , having ligi-tcd the fire , went to his work . Soon afcersards tw ¦ . < of his ssnj—Frederick , aged twelve years , and Djniel , aged ten years —came down , and , being hungiy . began to hunt in the cupboard for some breakfast . Frederick havic been unwell the day before , his mother had aiade ' bini some gruel of fbur and water , and the
boy finding a pw « hag in the pantry , which it is stated contained ' farinaceous food , ' took it upstairs to his mother , who was in bed , and asked her if he might make some gruel with it ? The mother gave the boy permis sion to do so ; ho , therefore , boiled some ofthe powder in water , and b-ving eaten a portion of it , went cut of doors , leaving the remainder on tbe table in a basin . About half an hour afterwards the boy became very sick , and went home , when he found his mother in the kitchen with two younger children , Fancy and Sarah , nnd the gruel on the table just as he had left it . Frederick having to d his 1 mother that he had been sick west to bed . Sarah and Fanny afterwards , by their ngthet ' s permission

partook of the gruel , and instantly became very sick ' Fanny having become much worse in the afternoon , medical assistance was sent for , but unfortunately she expired before a surgeon could be obtained . The other child , Sarah , expired on the following morning . These circumstances bavin * become known to the Coronor , Joseph Lovegrove , Esq ,, be ordered post mortem examination to be mado . No trace of mineral poison was found in the bodies , and the surgaon gave it as hh opinion that death had been caused by excessive vomiting , but the cause of that vomiting he could not tra : e , adding that the vomiting having taken place instantaneously on the gruel being taken , the poison and all traces of it might bare been thrown off . Apparently by accident , Mr Hickes obtained possession of some of the powder of which the gruel had been made by the boy Frederick , and , on analysing it , he discovered that it contained arsenic , These facts being elicited , the inquest was adjourned <
Tub Essex Poisonisgs . —On Wednesday the core ner for the northern division of Essex opentd an inquiry into another of these mysterious cases , involved in the death of Nathaniel Button , aged 60 , who died in October , 1814 , very suddenly , and £ 8 was to have been paid to his wife for the funeral ; but greatly to her dissatisfaction ' the club' paid all the bills for the funeral , and then handed over the balance , £ 1183 . Deceased wss a healthy maa , but was taken ill soon after breakfast , and was grossly neglected by bis wife in the brief interval whioh elapsed before his
death . The contents of the stomack of the exhumed body not being analysed , the inquiry was adjourned . Coal Pit Accident . —Oa Thursday week last , William Whittaker , engineer at Hollin Grove Pit , near Burnley , went down into the pit to change the water-bucket , and as he was ascending , the rope broke at a part where it was spliced , and he fell to the bottom of the pit , a distance of sixteen yards from where the rope gave way . His arm was broken , and his head and breast severely bruised . The poor fellow died on Sunday morning , at four o ' clock . — Manchester Examiner .
Firk at Campsby Ash High Hodsj ? . —On Thursday merning . shortly after four o'clock , * fire" broke out at the High House , Campsoy Ash , the seat of J . G , Sheppard , Esq . The butler being awakened by the barking of a small dog in his bedroom , found the room full of smoke . Upon making his way out , he found the laundry and kitchen below in fhmes . An alarm was instantly raised , and the inmates , including Mr and Mrs Sheppard , and a large circle of distinguished visitors who were staying with them , were aroused The engines from Rendle nam Park reached the spot at five o ' clock , and a good supply of water bsing at hand in the moat , did such service that the fire was subdued by half-past five , its ravages being confined to the kitchen , laundry , and butler ' s room , forming a portion ofthe east wing of the mansion . All the plate and valuables were removed to a place of safety . The fire is supposed to have been caused by the over-heating of a beam in the kitchen chimney . —Bury Post .
A Maw Shor—On Saturday night last , about twelve o ' clock , Mr Godfrey Holden , farmer , of Darnton , near Barnsley , heard some parties about his premises , and on looking out of the window saw three men , two upon the roof of the house , taking off the slates , the third standing upon the ground . The farmer fired his gun through tho window at the thieves , and one of them fell , but was carried off by his comrades . On the following morning , a wounded man was found in a stable belonging to Mr Totty , at Darten , about half a mile from Mr Holden's farm : His name is Samuel Gledhill , and he is now at his house on Worsborough Cemraon , without the least chance ef recovering , a bullet having entered between his thiph and his bodv . Mr Ilolden had had a great number of fowls stolen wl bin the last ten days , and other farmers in the neighbourhood suffered similarly .

The New Rebellion. (Abridged From The Co...
THE NEW REBELLION . ( Abridged from the Correspondent of the Times . ) Clokmel , Sept . 12 . —The military sustained twelve or fourteen hours of fearful fatigue without a supply of any sort of provisions ; the men were rrady to drop on thiir arrival , so worn out wore they with the want of food and a harassing marob . Ono of the offiotrs informed me that from ail he saw he had no doubt but that large bodies of the insurgents were on the peaks of the very mountains through which the army passed ; they had information of a rebel force being here and there , but they were generally posted inahuistinaccessible positions , 00 that is would be impossible for a compasatively small force nf military , without a commissariat , to haveattacked
them with aay success . They succeeded , however , in capturing nine ecou ' -s and sentinels , whom they surprised and took in arms , I saw them marched in as' prisoners of wat' tinder an immense guard of constabulary . They were reckless , fierce-looking mountaineers , and seemed little concerned for their fate . The troops returned to Carrick in full battle array , and presented a most imposing appearance . When leaving in the morning they were in high spirits , hoping that the rebels would stand a shot . On setting the command to march they gave three hearty cheers , and were as gay as larks on tho road for a considerable time , but coming back they were greatly disheartened that all their toils should have had so little reward .
The writer further adds , tnat , in company with a respectable Roman Catholic he met a man who said , in reply to a question as to where the boys were going . ' There is no danger in telling you all . 500 or COO of us are to meet below there to-ni ^ hi , and march for the camp . Djn't you ree where it is ? Look at the light from the fire ; we are on for it , and will go through with it . ' This valiait correspondent gives the following graphic stato of the country : — Carricr-on-Suik , Sept . 13 . —I left Clonmel this morsiog' as eleyan o ' clock , and proceeded to Grlenbower , about eleven miles distant , where a desperate engagement took place at six o ' click yestsrday evening between a body of rebels ( I cannot vonturo a guess at thai ; numbers , the accounts on both sides are so cotflicting ) and the police who occupied the constabulary station at Glenbower .

tha coi-fl'ct arriving at Clonmel tha excitement greatly increased , and the alarm was so great that few were disposed to venture cut of the town ; tome confined themselves closely to their houses . I was most ansioos , however , to witness the sceneof action , end determined on running tho risk of visiting it . Till I came within a mile of tho place , the lovely country through which I passed , blessed by nature with a fertility and beauty rarely equalled , had a woful appearance of desolation . Not a man was to ba seen on the roads , in the fields , or about the houses ; caUla , crops , dwellings , barns , wero all deserted ; there was a fearful silenco and an ominous absence of employment everywhere . As we gained the Carrick side of Slievenamon and approached Glenbower , I met a few men hero and there who seemed more on the look-out than anything else , and were curioua to know what was my object in coming to such a disturbed country .
In consequence of an order from hsad-quarters ths police were preparing to leave their station , at six o ' clock yesterday evening , and were packing their baggage when a body of rebels appeared on the hill to the left , and fired upon them as they rushed down . The police immediately retired to their barrack and secured the doors , windows . < fec , as best thoy could , but had scarcely finished , when their assailants came running and yelling about the house ; a well-dressed gentlemanly young man went to a window , and thrust his hand through a pine of glass to shake hands with a constable , pledging his word that if tho men delivered their aims they should be unhurt , and allowid to go wherever they pleased ; the police kept up an amicable parley as lonij aa at all
practicable , in the expectation ot some aid , in which they were not disappointed , for , to their inexpressible joy , they saw theNiae-mile-house police , who were eight in number , cot-ims along the road . On seeing them ths rebels moved away from tho barrack in order effectually to intercept them acd tako their arms , but the police parleying , and at the same time marching to tho barrack , were enabled to gain it by a gallant bayonet charge ; the men in tbe barrack then opened the door snd nobly dashed out to their assistance . Then the fight commenced in earnest , five or six of the insurgents , with extraordinary daring , leapedinto the little yard in front of the barrack , and engaged the police hand to hand , while others from the hill and road poured in aa indiscriminate fire . One
subconstable particularly distinguished himsslf by his coolness ? nd bravery—he shot one ot the boldest of the assailants ' hr < iugh the herd and while doing so another presented a tnusket at him which missed fire , ha turned upon the follow and gave him a tayonet wound in tha head , making him a prisoner . The fight raged for a quarter of an hour , when the rebels retreated to the mountain , taking somo of their killed and wounded with them , but leaving one of their dead weltering in his blood near the barracks , and the other horribly wounded . Hoad-oonstable Orr , with thirty polica and sixteen foot soldiers , from
Carrick , posted to the spot , and arrived there at nine o'clock ; as they approached the barrack , they gave three hearty cheers to notify thoir approach to their companions . This had nat the desired effect , hawever , for the polico in the house thought they were in for a second attack , and the rebels who were still on tha hills started up from their hiding places , as they thought to receive & reinforcement , but as the fact was , to sustain a charge and galling fire , not onl * from the police , bnt from ono hundred of tha ii Buffs under Major Cameron , who soon caraa \ ip to join in the pursuit . Tha constabulary only \? ere ordered to 6 fOi but the infantry coujd not . bq restrained

until they had discharged two rounds , though they oould eeo but a few men in the distance jumping from rock to rook ; in the pursuit they picked up a number of pi kes , and must have wounded many of the rebels . They did net return till past three o ' clock ibis morning . One policeman received a bullet through his cap , and another bad his musket broken by a ball as he was going to fire * , one or two were woundad , and also a soldier , but none badly . _ The fate of some of the nolica in ihe distant outstations is painfully uncertain . ( From the correspondent of the Freeman ' s Journal . ) iln-KENNy , Sept . 14 . —The districts of this and the adjoining county of Tipperary , which were disturbed during the beginning of tbe week , now wear an aspect of the utmost oalm , and the people seem to be engaged in the fi elds at their usual avocations aj if nothing uncommon had recently occurred in the neighbourhood . . _
Doherty , who was twice tried , and Williams , his partner in tbe Tribune , memorialised the Lord-Lieutenant that they might be allowed to leave the country , but his Excellency declined the request . SUDDEN DBATH OP SIB RICHARD LBVIQNK . This gentleman suddenly dropped dead at four o ' clock or last Tuesday evening , while out on a walls in the grounds of bis princely residence , Knock ' drin Castle , He was , up to the fatal moment , in his usual good health , and had reached his 60 th
year . ( From the correspondent ofthe Morning Herald . ) DubH " . Saturday Morning . —No further outrage by armed insurgents had been committed , but all who have anything to lose in the localities traversed by the reckless bands at present in the field , are filled with alarm , and expect the natural results if such a state of things be not instantly stopped . ( From the Kilkenny Moderator . ) The writer attributes the late events to distress : — The movement wMch commenced at Aheuy baa ce » ed ; bat It la stated with confidence that a portion of
the Insurgent banditti ( for they nan only bo so termed ) , were on Thursday assembled upon a more remote part of the mountain of Slievenamon ; at a plaoe called Bowndonnell . : Such a plan of proceeding as that of retiring before the troops , and quickly appearing and disappearing along the heights and amongst the fastnesses of the mountains , very plainly indicates that the Insurgents , whoever may he their leaders , are acquainted with and determined to practise the old Irish mode of warfare , by which an enemy of far superior force and discipline could be yet ffoctuaUy harassed , and worn out , or atleastleept at bny , for a considerable period . The same writer adds that : —
If tho ppople at large , from a want of employment and by an anticipation of the approach of famine , be rendered desperate , they will join the present actually exist , ing banditti , and the coastquenso wit he the wholesale plunder of the unfortunate farmer * , and a vast expendl . ture of public treasure in the movement of troeps , who will he hamsed by perpetual forced marches , without ever meeting an enemy to oppose them ,
KILKENNY . The portions ofthe counties of Kilkenny , Tipperary , and Waterford , so recently disturbed , appear now to ba quite tranquil . There was no insur * reotionary demonstration on Thursday or yesterday . INQUBST ON THB KILLED EEBSL . On Thursday , an inquest was held at Carrickon-Suir , on the body of Patrick Keating , who was shot at the Glenbower station on Tuesday evening . Constable Robert Uniacke proved that deceased was shot by the police . Sub-constable Edward Breen corroborated the evidence of Uniacke , and the jury returned the following verdict : — ' That the deceased , Patrick Keating , came to his death by a gun-shot wound , inflicted by the police , at Glenbower , in the county Tipperary , on Tuesday evening , the 12 th of September , 1846 , when defending their barrack and arms .

The correspondent of the Clonmel Chronicle writes as follows : — Oa arriving here I applied for admission to view the body of the dead rebel , which was lying in the fevir hoepitul . Having obtained it , I proceeded there in company with a constable , end with difficulty got through a crowd of people , principally women , who bad come to get a glimpse of tha corpse , fearing' that one of their own relatives had fallen . They could hardly bo restrained from forcing in their way , so ansious weie they to assure themselves thet the deccesed did not belong to ! hem : As we entered , a woman rushed ia , frantic with suspense , and trembling with excitement . As I caught a glance of the de & d man ' s countenance I instantly
recognised the Btriklag likeness between It and tho woman ' . ) , who was evidently lis mother . Description would fall to convey any idea of the harrowin . ; scsuo tbnt ensued on hor recognising her son ; her simple and touching narration of all hlB excellencies were most affecting ; and awful was tho Imprecation that sho prayed upon the heads of ' the gentlemen' who were the means of bringing him to an untimely fate , Eo was a young man of a powerful frame , one of the most athletic I ever saw , 22 years of age , very well dressed , and appeared to have been a respectable farmer . From two letters found in hfs pocket , he was discovered to be a person named Pat Earning , who lived within a few miles of Carrick ; they wero from a girl to whom ho was attaccea ,
PILLAOB BY TUB INSURGENTS . Plunder to an alarming extent has already commenced . Foraging parties from the rebel camps are beginning to soour the country for provisions of all sorts . Several instances of their driving away cattle have come to our knowledge ; and as for the property ofthe humble farmers , it is quite at their service , for the owners would not—dare not as much as make a complaint of any depredations committed upon them . Persons who were carried away to the camp and afterwards effected their escape , say they saw in them a number of black cattle and sheep . Some state that the loaders held a council , to decide who were the parties on whom they would levy tribute . ANOTHER ARREST .
TirrERAnr , Thursday night . —The only incident that occurred hare calculated to excite tho least interest or surprise was tho arrest of Mr O'Divyer of Cullen , brother-in-law of Mr Djheny , at his residence ( above-named ) this morning . And to give you an idon of the tranquillity of this town and surrounding country I may mention that the arrest was made by two policemen , who brought Mr O'Dwyer in a covered car into this town to-day at twelve o ' clock , and hones , withouS augmcatiag their strength , on to Clonmel . I have been assured that the charge on which he has been asserted is—when stripned of the verbiage ( legal and desoriptivej-one of complicity in the con duct and proceedings of Mr Doheny . MORE ARRESTS .
Uf . wards of forty men charged with being concerned in the attacks upon tho polico stations at Portland and Glenb . iwer , have been arrested . It is expected they will be sent to Dublin . T < vo men , named Connolly and Murphy , are now confined in Nawry Bridewell , under circumstances warranting grave suspioioa of their connexion with treasonable practices . C'lISIUTATIOIf OP THE SENTENCE OP DEATH . A leiur from tho Lord-Lieutonant reached the governor of tho Nenagh Gaol , on Thursday , containing an order for tho commutation of the sentence of daath to transportation for life in tho case of Michael Ryan , who was condemned to death with the culprit Carry , ai being a party in the same crime . Cariy will be executed today with Matthew Ryan , who was convicted of shooting at Mr Lojd .
TUB SPECIAL COMMISSION . In consequence of the insurrectionary movements in the neighbourhood of Clonmel , we would not ba surprised if government changed the venue and ordered the commission to be held in Nenagh , It would bo rather a novel thing to witness three judges of the land trying prisoners on a charge of high treason , and 1 rebel encampment at the same time within a few miles of their lordships . —Nenagh Guardian .

On the contrar / , these disturbancei will be repeated again and again ( even should the lost of life amongst the people be much more serious then It bag been on this occasion ) , so long as the prospects of the country remain In their present deplorable condition , The inhabitants of this district , which includes a circle round Carrick ef about twenty miles in dinmoter , in the counties of Tipperary , Waterford , and Kilkenny , ara becoming every day more reckless os the fear of famine grows stronger . Should their
fears ho realised , and no adequate relief be afforded , and should the landlords persist in that . oppressive and tyrannical conduct which many of them seem to have adopted , although any large organisation or extensive movement may be prevented by the presence of an overwhelming body of troops , the result will inevitably be the establishment of a system of agrarian outraga in this neighbourhood , which will far outvie tho unenviable notoriety that has for tbe iast few years , been obtained by north Tipperary , A letter from Waterford says : —
From Gall ' s rock ( near the city ) , on which stands the Protestant Orphan House , down to Dunmore East and round by Passage , on Tuesday night , every hill had its rebel signal fire . Nay , it wemt on through the counties of Kilkenny and Vf oxford . It appoara the Insurgents had not Sufficient powder to eomplete the desiraciloa oi Grannagh Bridge . All tho suspected and imprisoned farmers nea Carrick-on-Suir have had their crops cut down fo them gratuitously by their sympathising neighbours ' The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne ar rived in Kingstown on Saturday , in the Admiralty steamer Banshee .
THE INSURGENT CHIEF . The Clonmbl Chronicle , published on Saturday , contains the following : — During tbe skirmishing of the military and police force yesterday morning , at Comeragh Mountains , county Waterford , a man was seen at a distance crossing from ihe direction of the rebels , on horseback , The dragoons , nnder Mr Coulson , resident magistrate , gave chase and gained on the fugitive , who , seeing his perilous position , jumped off the horse and succeeded in effsct ' ng his escape . The horse was taken by Mr Coulson , and proved to be the one which bad been taken from William Til-Hers Stuart , Etq ., by the insurgents in one of their midnight movements , Pistols were in the holsters , and ,
from informations received by the authorities , the horse and accoutrements are well known to have been those used by O'Mahony ; there is no doubt but ho was the rider . This is the second or third time that his pursuers bare crossed his track within the last three days . On Wednesday evening , about six o ' clock , ho was pursued by the constabulary from the neighbourhood of Glenbower , and so close was tho chase , that he made for the river Suir and dashed into it at Doefieid Castle on horseback , swimming over to the Waterford side , which he reached , and th < n joined a large body of his followers on the mountains . The horse and accoutrements were brought into Carrick yesterday by the military , who returned at about eleven o ' clock .
In tho attack at Glenbower , on TuesSay evening last , throe or four of tho constabulary , in the heat of the conflict , actually fired off their ramrods , I extract the following from the correjpondence of the Freeman : — Soon after reaching Clonmsl , a party of military , consisting of about 120 men , returned to the town , dreadfully harassed after a most fatiguing excursion through the adjoining mountains , but without capturing a single prisoner . Fires were lighted sooa after dusk last night on Palliser ' s Hill , and immediately they wero responded to by like signals along the chain of mountains in tbe direction of Carrick . About ten o ' clock to-day thirteen persons were brought in by the police from Cioriham . Thoy aro now undergoing examination before Mr Eyan , R . M ;
Thurles , Monday evening . —This town was the scene of great excitement during the early part of this morning . Owing to information communicated , I believe by a magistrate , Mr Gore Jones , R . M ., was astir before nine o ' clock , and at ten proceeded from Thurles in the direction of Holyoross . at the head of a large party , consisting of about 100 cavalry of the line , and 100 infantry of the constabulary force . Pre ' paratjons wero also made for the protection of the town in case of a surprise , and those who , swayed by the rumours , expected an assault upon the town , wete , I can assure you , by no means few . As the day progressed ths excitement increased , and it was not till after two o ' clock , when Mr Jones and his ' army' returned , weary and exhausted , but
'unscathed , ' that the panic was allayed . The cause of all this excitement may be briefly explained . It appears that , during the latter part of last week , Mr Lanigan , ef Castlefogarty , had removed to his farm yard some corn , wheat , and oats , seized for rent due by some of his tenants . The poor peasant ? , finding their corn gone to the landlord , their potatoes melted into rottenness , and their wives and children in danger of bsing without food , went among their neighbours and told their tale of woe . Each man who heard of the seizure , felt that his own turn could not be far distant ; and in the course of Sunday notices were ported in all the public places , calling on tho tenantry of the district and of those adjoining to
assemble on this day ( Monday ) to consult what steps they ought to take to secure for themselves and their fatuili « s so much of the crop as would sustain life . The placo fixed on for the meeting was Mealiffe Hill , about two miles south of Holycroas . ( Ffoca the correspondent of the Morning Post ) Dublin , Sept . 19 . —By the following communication—received by the mail train this morning , at half-past four o ' clock—it will b * psreeived that the neighbourhoods of Clonmel , Portia w , Kilmacthomas , & c , continue in a state of great exciteraant , from tho nightly exhibitions that take place . The reports by this conveyance stato that the other parts of the county of Tipperary remain tranquil : —
Clonmel , Sept .

They are charged with having been present at somo of the nocturnal assemblage ; , and are principally young farmers iu good circumstances . The insurgents continue to annoy tho neighbourhood ofp . irrluivand IMmacthomas by their nightly excur . alons ; arms nnd provisions aro the objects of their attack , Tho Marquis of Waterford has goa « rottsly thrown open his house , and fitted up tho out offices for the accommodation of tha lam ^ ios ol 'Ma neighbours and t-namry who are not in a p mltion to > dsfond thomseives .

On Monday evtening , shortly before nine o ' clock , a special train wa ? , in readiness at the King ' s Bridge station for tha v jmaval of the principal stato prison era , who aro ta ' oa tried at the ensuing commission at Clonmel . At ths hour above mentioned , the police v : m arrived from Kilmainham , bearing Smith O'Briim . T . F ; Meagher , Maurice Leyne , M'Manus , and O'Dop oghue . There were also some other prisoners of , ' lesser note , who wero accused of having taken a part in the affair at Billingarry . The van waj guy rded by a body of city police under Superictenden ' j ; Solwood , and Inspectors Carmody , Stokes , and T ' , dd . A body of fifty constabulary , under Inspect or Gcfrnon j were in attond » ace , and a portion of ther a drew up in a double lino between tho van and thf , doors of the station , whilst the state prisoners P' <* sed through , each guarded by tivo of the oonitahulary . O'Brien walked with a firm step , and
Meagher appeared quite cheerful and laughed occasionally ; but Leyne , unlike tho rest of the prisoners , did not soem in good health or spirits . Major Brownrigg , and Mr Fifz ^ orald , a ma & istrace of the county , wore present on tha occasion , and the constabulary and polico stood on the platform—the polico with cocked pistols in their hands— whilst O'Brien , Meagher , and their associates took their scats in a first-class carriage . A portion of the constabulary , with fixed bayonets , sat iu tha carriage with them , and the rest wore dispose . ! in the other carriages composing the train , to which there were threa vans attached , conveying a carriage and four horses , in which the prisoners are to be brought from Thurles , whore they will leave the train , to Clonmel . At fi ro minutes past nine o'cloik tho train started . There were few persons collected at tho station , owing probably to the fact of the intended removal not having been publicly known .
( From tho correspondent of the rimes . ) Clonmel , Sept . IS h . —The authorities havo annnunoed to-day that Ryan , a policeman ( who was said to have bsen hanged by the insurgents ) , ia sale . ANOTHER ARRRST . A man named Kelly was arrested at Clerihan , on Saturday night , armed with a gun . He is committed for trial .
THE SPXCUL COMMISSION . The judges , aa we have already stated , aro to be Chief Justice Blackburne , Chief Justice Dohertv , and Judge Moore . It is usual iu special commissions to try treasonable offences , to name , at least , three judges . At the trials of Arthur O'Connor and his associates at Maidstone , in Kent , the number of commissioners exceeded three . At the trials of Emmeit , and those implicated in his insurrection in 1803 , live judges were named in the commissioa ; only three sat . Tho trial of Frost and his associates , at Monmouth , in 1839 , was conducted by three judges . The commission will open unlike ordinary asaiz-s for the county at large For ordinary purposes the I county has been divided into two ridings , the assizes for the north riding being held at Nenagh . foe the

8 outh riding at Clonmo ) , with separate grand and petit juries . It has been decided that this division of the county does not apply to the case of special commissions , and the grand aad petit panels will both be returned for the entire county . Notice , we underatand , has been served by tha Crotrn solicitor on several of the prisoners , to be ready for their trials under this special c / amission . The peraons who have so received notice , are Mr O'Brien , Mr Meagher , Mr M'Manus , Mr 0 'Do « noghne , and Mr Leyne . Mr Daffy is not included among the number to be tried at Clonmel ; We believe we may state with certainty that the defence of Mr Mesgher is to be conducted by Mr Butt and Sir Colman O'Loghlen .
Dublin , Wednesday Morning—The accounts from Tipperary this Horning announce continued tran quillity , but there is still an undefined apprehension on account ofthe disorganised state ofthe peasantry , and the fear of further outbreaks during the winter .

The Tory newspapers of the Monster countiesparticularly the old women in lodgings who drives' the Clonmel Chbonicle—have set the empire ringing with tales of' broken bridges '— "f * beleagued castles '— of ' captured cannon '—of police barracks bein ^ in ashes—of ragged regiments beyond counting being perched on the Tippstary and'Wa . terfurd bills—ot tsiriaishsaat tillhonta with tho pselers aad soldiers—of hordes of pikes-men biing miwod down by military bullets . & c , & c .
I need not be minute in describing what has occurred last week in the south . Yjur last publication gives enough of the particulars , and a good deal mors than is true . Tsis is no blame to you , however . These stories found an echo in tho most of tho Irish papers , and eves journals published on the spot . Tha truth amounts to this—Intro is a reckless spirit of discontent and despair amongst tho people all over IreUud , and particularly in tha southern portions of Irc- ljind . Some cause , not yet well definad , collected stveral mobs of half-starving , unemployed peasantry on the hills In South Tipperary , and in the vicinity of Waterford oa last Tuesday , Their oh * jec : BBsms to h-ivobeoa to take op arms to proouro a day's food by force , A police barrack o » two waa uttaokad , shots fired into them ( It Is said ) without c & tct , and shots '
returned from them , killing three or four insurgents , ' and wounding several—tho exact number not being ascertained . Several farm houses were summoned for contributions towards the Insurgent Cjramissariat ; sevvral bullocks , pijs , aud sheep were sent voluntarily to tho hills ; numerous peasant cabins wero entered by tho mob ordering ' out ' the Inmates fit for fight ; the parapels of ( Irannagh-brid ^ o wore levelled in a vain attempt to break down the thoroughfare ; tho residence of the mad Marquis of Waterford was threatened with a visit ; tho Dublin Cistlo authorities became ' ail over , ' and packed off poor General M'Doaald and thu 60 th Itfles to tha seat of war ! On thalr arrival , ' aU was found quiet !' Tho ' captured cannon' wero found on tho parapets of Gurraghmoro House ; tho mad Beresford was found alivo and well .
Ths psasantry are all got into their huts , end such of them as havo any employmaat , busily and quietly en . gaged iu its performance . All is now as quiet and miserable as the bitterest enemies of our country can desire . Such is the termination of the ' second edition ' of the great Irish insurrection of 1818 !! But will tho psoplo oonthrao quiet ?
