_Execution ai Liverpool . —Nearly four years have elapsed since the last infliction of capital punishment occurred at Kirkdale ; and the wretched individual who underwent the extreme penalty of ths law in tl e present instance , on Saturday , was the man Adams _, in expiation of the murder of a woman with whom he had cohabited . The execution took place at the north-west angle of Kirkdale prison ; and the crowd which colleoted to witness the solemn si _icicle was much lees than we haveseenon occasions ol a similar nature , and tbe conduct of the ma-tito . de more _decoioas . The number present amounted to about 4 , 000 _pers ids . A strong body of police was stationed under ihe gallows , to preserve order . A faw minutes before twelve , the door leading tothe scaffold was opened , and immediately after , Calcrafi , the Old
Bailey executioner , came forward to adjust the rope . The prisoner soon appeared , and cast an anxious glance at the multitude . Hi 3 countenance was careworn and disturbed . In his hands he hue a crucifix , and the two Catholic clergymen followed him , reading the litany for the dead . Daring the final preparations the dying man looked wistfully on the scene about to close on him for ever . The bolt was drawn , amidst exclamations of sympathy and horror from a number of persons , and he fell . For a moment there was scarcely a struggle perceptible ; a few eeconds and he struggled intensely , amidst tbe Bhrieks of the bystanders . At length , in his agony , he attempted to raise his bands convulsively to the rope by which
he was suspender ] , and at least five minutes elapsed beferalife was extinct * In tha afternoon , as the joiners W 6 re removing the platform and scaffold , after the execution of ths unfortunate man , one of the ¦ workmen , wbo had his foot npon an ir » n rod and his arm round a beam , accidentally slipped his hold and fell to the ground , a height of upwards of fourteen feet . His head was seriously injured , and he was conveyed in a state of insensibility inside the goal . The surgeon ef the goal was not in attendance at the time , butDr M'Dauall , the Chartist convict , was , we learn , brought with all dispatch from his eell _. and , nnder Mb direotion , suoh remedies were administered aa to remove at least present dasger .
A _Caniobal ;—At the Rochdale Petty Sessions on Monday week , a young man , aged nineteen years , named Samuel Grindrod , moulder , of Shaw Clougb , Scotland , who had been remanded from Friday , was again placed at the bar . It appears that , about seven o ' clock on the evening of Monday , the 4 th instsut , a number of young men were drinking at a publichouse at Shaw Clough , when t iro of the party agreed to wrestle for two shillings a-side . The prisoner , aud a young mm named Thomas Diggles , a butcher , were appointed umpires , and whilst the men were wrestling Diggles complained that the prisoner acted unfairly . A dispute ensued , and at last tbe prisoner attacked Diggles , and bit a piece off his bottom lip ,
and then Bpatthe piece in his face ; he also bit the firat finger ofDiggles ' s right hand off at the first joint , and afterwards bit off the end of the long finger on Diggles ' s left hand . Mr Benjamin Butterworth , surgeon , gave evidence to the effect that tbe finger of _Biggie ' s left hand was likely to mortify , and that he was in a very dangerous state . Mr Harris , solicitor , who appeared for the prisoner , solicited the bench to accept bail for the appearance of his client ; but the magistrate ? refneed , and the prisoner was _rerennded until Monday next . We understand it is only a few weeks since Grindrod bit a man ' s ear off . and also bit a pieo 3 off another person ' s nose . —Manchester Guardian .
DnsADFUL Railway AccinRKr near . Cheltenham . —Three Men Killed . —A most horrible accident occurred on Friday , tha loth inst ., a tew minutes before four o ' clock in the afternoon , on the railway between Gloucester and Cheltenham , at about three mites from the Utter place . As is known to most of our readers , thia portion of rail way is used in common by the Great Western and Midland companies , a line of four feet nine inch rails being laid within the broader ones . Ou Friday afternoon , a number of men . _ts the employ of Mr BUnkhcrn , contractor , were _engaged in removing old , and laying down new ballast , at Hatherly-bridge , three miiea _from Cheltenham . This work , owing to the almost constant traffic _passing over a portion of the line used by these two large companies , is liable to very frequent
interruption , and is an occupation of great danger , requiring a most vigilant look-out to be kept by the workmen , or by someone in their behalf . Accordingly , Mr Blinkhorn ha 3 employed a lad to attend to this important duty , and to ring a large and strongly sounding bell , as a warning to the men on the ap preach of a train either up or down ; and it is but justice to Mr Blinkhorn to Btate that he voluntarily adopted this _courseout of regard ior the safety of his men , in addition to using all the other measures of precaution imposed upon him by the rules of the railway company . It would seem that when the accident occurred , the men , being warned by the bell tbat a train was approaching , left off work , and stood under the bridge to observe the train as it passed . The train , which was on the narrow gange up line _, happened to be an unusually long one , wbich circumstance unfortunately absorbed the attention , of the men- isd they occupied themselves , iu _ce-unting the
number of the carriages . Whilst so engaged , a broad gauge train ( the twelve o ' clock train , from Paddington to Cheltenham ) , came up in the opposite direction , and along the line en which the men were _etanding . The boy rang his bell , and the driver of the approaching train sounded the large whistle of the engine , but unhappily all to no purpose . The poor fellows either heard not at all or very indistinctly the warning notes , owing _ts the reverberation cauie by the train whose motion they were watching under the bridge where they were standing ; or , it they heard the whistle aud bell at all , they thought probably the warning was given in reference to tbe train then passing tbem . Be this as it may , the unhappy men remained inattentive or deaf to the Earing sound of either whistle or bell , and in an instant they were overrun by the train . Three of the unfortn-• tttemeo were killed on the spot—de ith must _htno beea as instantaneous aa if tha victims bad been

struck by _atis-ji cf _KAtainfc and infiaitely more horrible to look u jon ; for tbe _ui-aSLited remnants of mortality scattered about the _lfoe , are _dewirilEdi _** as as giving to the spot all the horrors of a slaughterhouse . Two more unfortunate men were knocked down and frightfally 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 , are 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 his foot cat off . They lie in a very dangerous , almost helpless state , at the Cheltenham Hospital . All the firemen were married , and bave families . —An inquest was held at the
_Compssiea Inn , Cheltenham , Beat ? the Great Western Railway , on Monday , on the bodies of the three railway labourers , viz , Joel Witts , aged 32 ; WH iara Ball , 2 i ; and John Newman , 32 . Several witnesses were examined , when Dr Brookes , medical officer to the Cheltenham district of the Great Western Railway , and who arrived by the pilot engine on the spot shortly after the acoident happened , described the nature of the injuries which bad oaased the deceased's death . Newman had the top of his head cut off , and the piece was lying at a considerable _distaaoe from the body . The injured men had told him that they did not notioa the approach of the passenger engine . Tbe jury returned a verdict of ' Accidental Death . ' The whole ot the deceased were married men with numerous families . — Gloueetter
Journal . Shocking Mubdbb at Stockport . —The feelings of the community of Stockport and its neighbour herd were very much shocked at an early hoar on Friday , the lath inst ., by the perpetration of a coldblooded and deliberate murder , an event that has not occurred ia this borough for very many years . The perpetrator of this crime is James Kelly , between 25 and 30 years o ! age , who was employed at Mr OrreU ' s _, Travis Brook Mill ; and his victim is a young woman named Eliza Fauikener , of comely appearance , somewhat over twenty years of age , who also worked at the same mill as a throstlespinner . The deceased and Kelly had some time kept company , bather friends having lately told her
eame circumstances connected with his life previous to their acquaintance , sbe determined to break off the connexion with him , and had told him so several days previously . On Thursday night he went to her lodgings at Mrs Dyson ' s and solicited an interview . She granted it , snd stated to him that besides being a Chartist he had been in prison . He replied he had been in prison for poaching at Preston ; bnt she told him tbat all her friends had threatened to turn their bachB upon 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 abont half-past five o ' clock , he went tt the house again , and called her by name , knowing that she would be going at that hoar to work . She
left home with her landlady ' s daughter , and he joined tbem at the entry end , where it is supposed _hs renewed his entreaties to be received again as a lover , and she refused ; the other girl had before that left her . They crossed _Noms-street together at the entry end , and were close to the window and door of a Mra Sleigh , near the taming into Hope * street , and not more than forty yards from the entry end , when ahe gave a load scream , and Mrs Sleigh opening the door at the time , saw a torrent of blood gushing from her _throat , and the unfortunate girl the next moment precipitated herself into Mrs S . ' _eigh'a arms . Mrs Sleigh attempted to carry her across the street to her lodgings , but she fell down upon the flags , just eutaide the door , aud died almost
instantly . Several persons were witcesa to the shocking deed , and the prisoner was at once apprehended by three men , who stated to Bowers , the officer , that the man they bad ia custody was charged with almost catting his wife ' s head off . Bowers , addressing the prisoner , asked if he heard what the men said against him . The prisoner replied , ' It is true . ' He then asked Bowers to sit down by the aide of him , which h 8 did , when the prisoner said . 'Itis not my wife , but my sweetheart . _Ifs all her friends ' fault , they tried to persuade her all they oould not to keep company with me . ' Ho was then Iscked up and an officer placed in the cell to watch him . He had a cut on his left hand at the time , which bled profusely , and this was dressed . The murder was
perpetrated with a long sharp knife , whioh the prisoner immediately after threw away , but it was soon afterwardB picked up in the _etteet , and is now in possession of Policeman Walters . The deoeased had neither father nor mother living , but she had two Bisters . She is represented as a girl of good character , quiet disposition , and steady habits . The inquest was held on the body , before Mr Rutter , coroner , at tbe Crown public house , _Heaton-Iaue , at four o ' clock on Friday afternoon . The above statement was { ally corroborated by several witnesses . The coroner having briefly summed up , thejury returned a verdict of' Wilful Murder , against James Kelly , ' who was then committed to Kirkdale en the charge . — Manchester Guardian .
Mubder o ? Two Children in _Stawordshirk — Willbnhall , Friday , Sept . 15 . —ThiB afternoon an inquest was held before Mr T . M . Phillips , coroner , upon the bodies of two children , named Edwin Jones , aged eighteen months , and Sarah Spencer , aged twelve years , whe were murdered late on Wednesday eight by a woman named Maria Jones , mother of the first and aunt to the second unfortunate vict ' m of her undoubted insanity . The facts of this horrible case may be told shortly . The woman charged with the murders is the wife of a working man named Enoch Jones , ia apparently comfortable circumstances . She _iY a very interesting looking young woman , and appears from her conversation when in a right state of mind to have received an education
superior to those moving in her sphere of life . About three months since her husband noticed a change in her usual behaviour ; she neglected her household _affain , and seemed absorbed in religious speculations , Her manner became so strange , that ultimately it was deemed advisable to place her in the Ianatic ward of the Wolverhampton Union Workhouse . She wa ? , however , discharged on Wednesday last , at the instance of two of her relatives , named Maria _Hadley and Martha Jones . She then appeared to be in a rational state . Daring ber short stay at the anion workhouse her child was at the house of a sister-inlaw , and on her return ehe took it home with her , being accompanied by the little girl , Sarah Spencer . About nine o olock tbat night the neighbours were
alarmed by the woman ' s cries from a window , declaring that she had murdered the children ; and she then attempted to cat her owa throat , but she only succeeded in inflicting a slight wonnd . The neighbours entered , and found the infant with its head entirely severed from its body , and lying a few inches from it . The girl's throat was also cut , but the head was only half severed from the body , and she appeared to have struggled considerably , At the time the parties entered the _hoase the woman waB threatening to kill any persen who should lay hands on her . She was . however , soon secured , and taken back to the workhouse at Wolverhampton about twelve o ' clock at night ; Itis said tbat during _hetatay at the workhouse it was not deemed
necessary to place her nnder any particular restraint . Her husband is what in this country is termed a _whimsey' man , and necessarily at some periods works at the pit all night . The next morning the woman entered into conversation with Mr Abbott , the _governor of the workhouse , and in the presence of Colonel Hogg , deputy chief constable of Staffordshire , narrated the manner in which she committed the crimes . She stated that she sent the little girl to bed with the child before eight o ' clock , and then walked down the lane with a neighbour , named Mrs Cave . She returned , bolted the door , and went to bed herself , but did not sleep . She then got up and searched for a uzx with which to cut the child ' s throat , as she believed it woald be damned owing to its having been ohristened by a Catholio priest . Not being able to find a razor she got a black-handled knife , wbich she sharpened against a steel , went up stairs , then cut the throat of her niece , but did not
cut the head quite off . She then declared that ahe ought to suffer for spilling the poor baby ' s blood . At times the unfortunate woman appeared calm and collected , and reproached herself bitterly for the crime ; but at others she was exceedingly violent , threatened to kill those around her . and bad she not been prevented by the parties watching would have strangled herself . The inquest stands adjourned , bat no person seems to entertain a doubt as to the prisoner ' s ?? _sanity . The adjourned inquest was held on Wednesday on the bodies of the two children , and has terminated in a verdiot of Wilful Murder against the unfortunate woman . Since the horrible occurrence the wretched woman has been in the workhouse at Wolverhampton in a state of insanity . She , however , is sufficiently sensible of having committed ths terrible offence , and has repeatedly acknowledged ber guilt . She will ba removed to Stafford gaol to take her trial at the next a sizes .
Mtsteriotjs Case —Two Children Poisoned . — Glgucsstes , Wednesday- —Soma sensation has been created in this city by a report that a whole family hAve been poisoned , _vjhetbw accidentally or maliciously yet remains to be ascertained . On Friday week John Kent , Journeyman carrier , of Have-lane , got up early , and , having lighted the fire , went to his work . Soon afterwards two of his sons—Frederick , aged twelve years , and Daniel , aged ten years —came down , and , being hungry , began to hunt in the cupboard for some breakfast . Frederick having been unwell the day before , his mother had made him eome gruel of _fhur and water , and the
boy finding a paper bag in the pantry , which it is stated contained' farinaceous food , ' took it up stairs to his mother , who was in bed , and asked her if he might make some gruel with it ? The mother gave the boy permission to do so ; he , therefore , boiled some of the powder in water , and having eaten a portion of it , went oat of doors , leaving the remainder on tbe table in a basin . Abont half an hour afterwards the boy became very sick , aud went home , when he found his mother in the kitchen with two younger children , Fanny andSarah , and the gruel on the table juBt as he had left it .

partook of tha gruel , and instantly became very _siok * Fanny haviBg become mnoh worse in the afternoon _, medical assistance was sent for , bat unfortunately she expired _befate a surgeon could bo obtained . The other ohild , Sarah , expired on the following morning . These circumstances having become known to the Corouor , Joseph Lovegrove , Esq ., he ordered post mortem examination to be made . No traoeof mineral poison was found in the bodies , and the surgeon gave it as his opinion that death had been caused by excessive vomiting , but the cause of that vomiting he _tsould not tra : e , adding that the vomiting having taken plaoe instantaneously on the gruel being taken , the poison and all traces of it might have been thrown offApparently by accidentMr Hiokea
. . obtained possession of some of the powder of which the gruel had been made by tbe boy Frederiok , and , on analysing it , he discovered that it contained arsenic These faots being elicited , the inquest was adjourned . ' -. — .,. Thb Essbx _Poisoniros . —On Wednesday the coroner for the northern division ot Essex opened an inquiry into _another of these _mysterisus oases , involved in thedeath of Nathaniel Bulton , aged 60 , who died in _Ootober , 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 foneral , and then handed over the balance , £ 118 s .

The butler being awakened by the barking of a small dog in bis bedroom , found the room full of smoke . Upon making his way out , he found the laundry and kitchen below in flames . 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 ham Park reached the spot at five o ' clook , and a good supply of water being at band in the moat , did such service tbat the fire was subdued by half-past five , its ravages being _ooafiaed to the kitchen , laundry , and butler ' s room ,
forming a portion of the east wing of the mansion . All the plate and valuables were removed to a plaoe of safety .

The New Rebellion. {A Bridged From The C...
THE NEW REBELLION . { A _bridged from the Correspondent of the Times . J Clonmel , Sept . 12 . —The military sustained twelve or fourteen hoars of fearful fatigue without a supply of any sort of provisions ; the men were ready to drop on their arrival , bo worn out were they with the want ef food and a harassing march . One of the officers informed me that from all he saw he had no doubt but that large bodies of tbe 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 in almost inaccessible positions , so that is would be impossible for a comparatively smallforce
ef military , without a commissariat , to have attacked them with any _suocess . They succeeded , however , in capturing nine scouts and sentinels , whom thev surprised and took in arms . I saw thorn marched in as ' prisoners of war * nnder an immense guard of constabulary . They were reckless , fierce-looking mountaineers , and seemed little conoerned for their fate . The troops returned to Carrick in full battle array , and presented a moBt imposing appearance . When leaving in the morning they were in high spirits , hoping that the rebels would stand a shot . On cett ' ng the command to march they gave three hearty cheers , and were as gay as larks on the road ior a considerable time , but coming baok they were greatly disheartened that all their toils should have had so little re ward .
The writer farther adds , that , in company with a reipeotable Roman Catholio he met a man who said , in reply to a qaestion as to where the boys were going . * There is no danger in telling you all . 500 or 600 of ns are to meet below there to-night , and march for the camp . Don't yoa eee where it is ? Look at the light from the fire ; we are on for it , and will go through with it . ' This _valiant correspondent gives the following graphic state of the country : — _Cabrice-on-Soir _, Sept . 13 . —I left Clonmel this morning at eleven o ' clook , and proceeded to Glenbower , about eleven miles distant , where a desperate engagement took place at six o ' clock yesterday evening between a body of rebels ( I cannot venture ' a guess at their numbers , the accounts on both sides are so conflicting ) and the police who occupied the constabulary station at Glenbower . On the news ef
the conflict arriving at Clonmel the exoitement greatly increased , and the alarm was so great that few were disposed to venture out of the town ; tome confined themselves closely to their houses . I was most anxious , however , to witness the scene of aotion , aad determined on running the risk of visiting it . Till I came within a mile of the place , the lovely country through wbich I passed , blessed by nature with a fertility and beauty rarely equalled , had a woful appearance of desolation . Not a man was to be seen on the roads , in the fields , or about the houses ; cattle , crops , dwellings , barn ? , were all deserted ; there was a fearful silence and an ominous absence of employment everywhere . As we gained the Carriok side of Slievenamon and approached Glenbower , I met a few men here and there who ssemed more on the look-out than anything else , and were curious to know what was m ; object in coming to such a disturbed country .
In consequence of an order from head-quarters the 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 tbey rushed down . The police immediately retired to their barrack and secured the doors , windows , & c , as best tboy 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 hie . hand through a p & ne of glass to shake hands vfHh ft _ooiiBtable _, pledging his word that if the men delivered tbeir arms they should be unhurt , and allowed to go wherever they pleased ; the police kept up an amicable parley as long as at all practicable , in the expectation of Bomeaid , in whioh tbey
were not disappointed , for , to their inexpressible joy , they saw the _Nine-roile-house police , who were eight in number , coming along the road . On seeing them the rebels moved away from the barraok in order effectually to intercept them and take their arms , but the polioe parleying , and at the Bame time marching to the barrack , were enabled to gain it by a gallant bayonet charge ; the . men in the barrack then opened the door and nobly dashed out to their assistance . Then the fight commenced in earnest , five or six of the insurgents , with extraordinary daring , leaped into the little yard in front of the barrack , and engaged the police hand to hand , while others from the hill and road poured in an indiscriminate fire . One so bconBtahle ; particularly distinguished himself by his coolness and bravery—he shot one of the boldest of the assailants through the head , and while doing eo another presented h musket at bim which missed fire , he turned upon the fellow and gave him a bayonet
wound in the head , making him a prisoner . The fight raged for ' a quarter of an hour , when the rebels retreated to the mountain , taking some 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 . _Head-constable Orr , with thirty police aud sixteen foot Boldiers _, from Carrick , posted to the spot , and arrived there at nine o ' olock ; as they approached the barrack , they gave three hearty oheers to notify their approach to tbeir companions . This had not the _deeired effect , however , for the police in the house thought they were in for a second attack , and the rebels who were still on the bills started up from their hiding places , as thoy thought to reoeive a reinforcement , but as the faot was , to sustain a charge and galling fire , not only from the police , but from one hundred of the 3 a Buffs under Major Cameron , who soon came np to join in the pursuit . The constabulary only were or * de / . ed to fire , bu . _$ tbe infantry could not be restrained

8 UDDEN DEATH OF BIB RIOHARD _LSVIGNE . Tbis gentleman suddenly dropped dead at four o ' clook on last Tuesday evening , while out on a walk in the grounds of bis pr ' moely residence , Knock ' drin Castle . He was , up to the fatal moment , in his usual good health , and had _rcaohed his 60 th year . ( From the correspondent of the Morning Herald . ) Dublin , Saturday Morning . —No further outrage by armed insurgents had been committed , bat 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 snoh a Btate of things be not instantly stopped . ( From the Kilkenny Moderator . ) The writer attributes the late events to distress : —
The movement wWoh commenced at Aheuy bas ceased ; butltii stated wltb confidence that a portion of the insurgent banditti ( for they nan only be ie termed ) , were on Thursday assembled upon a more remote part of tho mountain ot Slievenamon ; at a place called _Bowo . donnell . Snoh a plan of prooeeding as tbat of retiring before tbe troops , and quickly appearing and disappearlog along th » hoIgh » s and amongst the _fastusiaes of th « _moantalBS , very plainly Indicates tnat the Insurgent * , whoever may he their leaders , are acquainted with and determined to practise the old Irish mode of warfaro , by wbich an enemy of far superior force and discipline could _bB yet _effectually harassed , and worn ont , oratleastkept at bay , for a _considerable porlofl _. The same writer adds that : —
If tbe people at large , from a want of employment and by an anticipation of the approach of famine , beren . dertd desperate , _tbty will join the present _aotually existing banditti , and the _coasequenco will be the wholesale plunder of the unfortunate farmers , and a vast eipendl . tureof publio treasure in the movement of troops , who will ba harassed by perpetual forced marches , without ever meeting aa enemy to oppose them _.
KILKENNY . The portion * of the counties of Kilkenny , Tipperary , and Waterford , so recently disturbed , ap « pear now to be quite tranquil , There was no _insnr * _reotionary demonstration on Thursday or yesterday . INQUEST ON IHB KILLED BEBIL . On Thursday , an inquest was held at Carrickon-Suir , on the body of Patriok Keating , who was shot at the Glenbower station on Tuesday evening . Oonstabla Robert Uniaoke proved that deceased was shot by tbe police . _Sub-conatable Edward Breen corroborated the evidenoe of Uniaeke , and the jury returned the following verdiot : — ' Tbat 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 Clonubl Chronicle writes as follows : — On arriving here I applied fer admission to view the body of the dead rebel , whioh was lying in the fever hospital . Having obtained It , I proceeded there in company with a constable , and with difficulty got through a crowd oi people , principally women , who had come to get a glimpse of the corpse , tearing tbat one of their own relatives had fallen , Tbey could hardly be restrained from forcing in tbeir way , so _anziona were they to assure themselves tbat tbe deceased did not belong to them : As we entered , a woman rushed in , frantic with suspense , and trembling ; with excitement . As I caught a _glancs of the dead man ' s countenance I instantly reoog .
niaed the striking likeness between It and the woman ' s , who was evidently bis mo _' . her . Description would fall to convey any Idea of the harrowing scene tbat ensued on her recognising her son ; her simple aad touching narration of all his excellencies were most affecting ; and awful was the _Imprecation that she prayed upon the heads of 'the geotlomen' who were tbe means of bringing him to an untimely fate . Ee was a young man of a powerful frame , one of the most athletic I ever saw , 82 years of age , very well dressed , and appeared to have been a ' respectable farmer . From two letters found in his pocket , he was discovered to be a person named Fat Eoaiiog , who lived within a few miles of Carriok ; tbey were from a girl to whom be was attached .
PILLAGE BY THE IN 8 UHGBNTS . Plunder to an alarming extent has already commenced . Foraging parties from the rebel camps are beginning to scour the country for provisions of all sorts . Several instances of their driving away cattle have come to our knowledge ; and as for the property of the humble farmers , it is quite at their service , for the owners would not—dare not aB muoh as make a complaint of any depredations committed upon thorn . Persona wbo were carried away to the camp and afterwards effected their escape , Bay they saw in them a number of black oattle and sheep . Some state that the leaders held a council , to decide who were the parties on whom they would levy tribute .
ANOTHER ARBEBT . _TippsBASr , Thursday night . —The only incident that occurred here calculated to excite the least interest or surprise was the arrest of Mr O'Dwyer of Culler ) , brother-in-law of Mr Doheny , at his residence ( above-named ) this morning . And to give you an idea 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 oar into this town to-day at twelve o ' clook , and hence , without _Augmenting their strength , on to Clonmel . I have been assured that the charge on which he has been asserted ie—when stripped of the verbiage ( legal and descriptive)—one of complicity in the con duct and proceedings of Mr Doheny .
MORE ARRESTS . Upwards of forty men charged with being concerned in the attaoks upon the police stations at Portland and Glenbower , have been arrested . It is expeoted they will be sent to Dublin . Two men , named Connolly and Murphy , are now confined in Newry Bridewell , under circumstances warranting grave suspicion of their connexion with treasonable practices .
COMMUTATION OP THE BEKTENCE OF DEATH . A letter from the Lord-Lieutenant reached the governor of the Nenagh Gaol , on Thursday , containing an order for the commutation of the sentence of death to transportation for life in the case of Miohael Ryan , who waa ooudemned to death with the culprit Carty _, as being a party in the same crime . Carty will be executed today with Matthew Ryan , who waB convicted of shooting at Mr Lo _> d .
THE SPECIAL C 0 MMKM 0 H . In consequence of the insurrectionary movements in the neighbourhood of Clonmel , we would not be _Burprised if _government changed the venue and ordered the commission to be held in Nenagh . It would ba rather a novel thing to witness three _judges of the land trying prisoners on a charge of high treason , and i rebel encampment at the same time within a few miles of their _lordshipB . —Nenagh Guardian .
( From the correspondent of the Times . ) Clokmbl , Sept . 10 th —An express was received in town today by the authorities tbat the insurgents had moved from tho neighbourhood of tbe Comeragb mountain !' , county of Waterford , where they have been in strong force for some days past . Tho military and police force which left Carrick on Thursday in pursuit nearly captured O'Mahony ; they remained at Ratbcorraack " under Mr Coulson , _president magistrate , on Thursday night . The force , _conBiBtjDg of 200 of the 3 rd Buffs and 83 rd Regiments , half a troop of the 4 th Light Dragoons , and sixty constabulary ( who had halted one hour in Carrick after their arrival trom Dublin ) , returned to Carrick yesterday about neon , bringing some arms , pikes , & c , which tbe iellows lelt behind them in the chase , and O'Mabony ' _s horse , fully equipped , from which he jumped to make hia esoape . They report that the insurgents bad moved off towards the Tipperary side by the river Suir .
A constabulary party of twenty men , under the command of head-constable _Godsilf , has jnst been sent off from Clonmel to _KiJsheelan _, upon which vil _lage'tho insurgents are ' now said to be marching , after having attacked all tho farm-houses in the _Ticinity of Slievenamon last night , carrying withthe / _ji a large quantity of arms and provisions . On the moving of tho insurgents yesterday morning to the Tipperary Bide they attacked ihe house « f a Mr _Hahessy , into wbioh they fired . They broke the doors in , and were faced by the ow _/ jer , who told them he would not give up his _piopey ' ty . Mr Hahessy , was wounded in the side by the insurgents , and is beyond recovery ; indeed he , ' reported to be dead . Dee , who fired the shot is a ' farmer , possessing about forty _aorcs of land . _Informations have been Bworn to this ( fleet ,

Oa tae contrary , these disturbances will be repeated again and again ( even shoald the loss of life amongst the people be muoh more serious than it hai been ba tbis oocaiion ) , so long as tbe prospeoti of the conntry remain in their present deplorable condition , Ths Inhabitants of this district , whioh lnoludes a circle roand Carrick ef about twenty miles in diameter , In the counties of Tipperary , Waterford , and Kilkenny , are becoming every day more _reokless as the fear of famine grows stronger . Should their
fears bo realised , and no adequate relief be afforded , and should tho landlords persist In that oppressive and ty . rannical conduot whioh many of them seem to have adopted , _altbonah any large organisation or extensive movement may ba prevented by _thepreaenca of an overwhelming body of troops , the remit will Inevitably ba the establishment of a system of agrarian ontrago in this neighbourhood , which will far outvie the unenvlable notoriety tbat bas for the last few years , been obtained by north Tipperary . A letter from Waterford says : —
From Galls rook ( near tbe city ) , on wbioh stands the Protestant Orphan House , down to _Dunmore last and ronnd by Passage , on Tuesday night , every hill had its rebel signal fire . Nay , it weat on through the eoun . ties of IUk-nDy and Wexford . It appears the insurgents had not sufficient powder to complete the destruction of _Qrsnnagh Bridge . All the suspected and imprisoned farmers nea _Carrick-on-Suir bave had their orop 3 cut down fo tbem gratuitously by their sympathising neighbours ' The Marquis and _MarohionesB of Lansdowne ar rived in Kingstown on Saturday , In the Admiralty steamer Banshee .
THE INSURGENT CHIEF . The Clonmel Chronicle , published on Saturday , contains the following : — During the skirmishing of the military and police force yesterday morning , atComeragh Mountains , county Waterford , a maa was teen at a _distaace crossing from ihe direotion of the rebels , on horseback , The dragoons , under Ur _Ooatson , resident magistrate , gave chase and gained oa tbe fugitive , who , seeing his perilous position , jumped off the horse aBd succeeded in efftct ' ng his es . cape . Tho boras was taken by Mr Coulson , and proved to be the ona which had beea taken from William Villiers Stuart , Eiq ., 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 hare been those used by O'Hahony ; tbere is no donbtbnt be was the rider . This is the second or third time tbat bis pursuers have crossed his traok within the last three days . On Wednesday erening , about sis o ' clook , he was pursued by the constabulary from ihe neighbourhood of Glenbower , andBoclosewattheche . se , that he made for the river Suir and dashed into it at Doefteld Castle on horseback , swimming over to tbe Waterford side , which hereaehed , Bnd then joined a large body of his followers on the mountains . The horse and accoutrements were brought into Carriok yesterday by the military , who returned at aboat eleven o ' clock . In the attack at Glenbower , on Tuesday evening last , three or four of the constabulary , in the heat of tha conflict , aotually fired off tbeir ramrods .
I extraot the following from the _correspondence of the Fbbbman : — Sooa after reaching _Clonmsl , a party of military , consisting of about 120 man , returned to the town , dreadfully harassed after a most fatiguing excursion through the adjoining mountains , bat without capturing a single prisoner . Fires were lighted sooa after dusk last night on _Palllaer ' s Hill , aBd immediately they were responded to by like signals along tbe ehain of mountains in tha direction of Carrick . About ten o'clock to-day thirteen persons were brought in by the pel ! ce from _Cleriham . Tbey are now undergoing examination before Mr Ryan , R . H ;
Thurles , Monday evening . —This town was the scene of great exoitement during the early part of this morning . _Otring . to information communicated , I believe by a magistrate . Mr Gore Jones , R . M ., was astir before nine o ' olock , and at ten proceeded from Thurles in the direotion t » f Holyoross . at the head of a large party , consisting of about 100 cavalry of the line , and 100 infantry of the constabulary force . Pre * _parations were , also made for the protection efthe town in case of a surprise , and those who , swayed by the rumours , expected an assault upon the town , were , I oan assure you , by no means few . ABthe day progressed the exoitement increased , and itwas not till after two o ' clook , when Mr Jones and his ' army' returned , weary and exhausted , but '
unscathed , ' that the panic was allayed . The cause of all this exoitement may be briefly explained . It appears that , during the latter part of laBt week , Mr Lam gan , of Gaatlefogarty _, had removed to his farm yard eome corn , wheat , and oats , seized for rent due by Borne of bis tenants . The poor _peasants , finding their corn gone to the landlord , their potatoes melted into rottenness , and their wives and children in danger of being without food , went among their neighbours and told their tale of woe . Each man who heard of the seizors , felt that his own turn could not be far distant ; and in the courae of Sunday notices were posted in all the publio places , calling on the tenantry of the distriot and of those adjoining to
assemble on this day ( Monday ) to consult what steps they ought to take to secure for themselves and their families so mnoh of the crop as would sustain life . The place fixed on for the meeting was Mealiffe Hill , abont two miles south of Holyoross . ( From the correspondent of the Morning Post ) Dubiin , Sept , 19 . —By the following communication—received by the mail train tbis morning , at half-past four o ' olock—it will ba perceived that the neighbourhoods of Clonmel , Fortlaw , _Kilmacthomas , & o „ continue in a state of great excitement , from the nightly exhibitions that take place . The reports by this conveyance state that the other parts of the oounty of Tipperary remain tranquil : —
Clonhel , Sept . IS . —There was considerable excitement yesterday evening oa account of ths appearance of a large body ot men within a mile of the town , on the top of a mountain that rises from , the river . They remained there in motion for several hours , aad wben the Bight came on lighted up signal fires ; bat they seemed to hove all decamped before the morning , and there is no traoe of them . On ths night before last there was a great gathering a fair miles farther oat on to the mountains , bat word was sent in to tbe people living in the suburbs of this town , that the boys would be coming before long _.
L > r _« , e numbers have also come together in the direction of Fethard , as many as some thousands , but I have been unable to learn whether they proposed to them _, selves any objeot , or have been guilty of any violence , Tbis morning six of the meat respectable persons from _Clabiran were taken prisoners , and brought in here by the police . They are oharged with having been present at some of the nocturnal assemblages , and ara principally young farmers in good oircumstaaoes . Tbe insurgents continue to annoy the _nelghbonrhood _ofPortlawandKllmacthomas by their nightly excursions * - arms and provisions are the objects of their attack . The Marquis of Waterford has generously thrown open his house , and fitted up the ont offices for tho accommodation of the families of his neighbours and tenantry who are not in a _position to defend themselves . Nearly 150 have availed themselves of bis kindness and hospitality , and he has so fortified Curraghmore as to make it fit to stand any attack that the rebels could make .
On Monday evening , shortly before nine o ' clook , a Bpeoial train was in readiness at the King ' s Bridge station for the removal of the principal state prisoners , who are to bo tried at the ensuing commission at Clonmel . At the hour above mentioned , the polioe van arrived from Kilmainham , bearing Smith O'Brien , T . F . Meagher , Maurice Leyne , _M'Manns , and O'Donoghue _. There were also some other prisoners of lesser note , who were accused of baring taken a part in the affair at Ballingarry . The van was guarded by a body of city police under Superintendent Selwood , and Inspectors Carmody , Stokes , and Tidd , A body of fifty constabulary , under Inspector Gernon , were in attendance , and a portion of them drew up in a double line between the van and the doors of the station ! whilst the state prisoners passed through , each guarded by two of the _constabulary . O'Brien walked with a firm step , and
Meagher appeared quite cheerful and laughed occasionally ; but Leyne , unlike the rest of tho prisoners , did not seem in good health or spirits . Major Brownrigg _, and Mr _Fitzgerald , a magistrate of the county , were present on the occasion , and the constabulary and police stood on the platform—the police with cocked pistols in their hands— whilst O'Brien , Meagher , and their associates took their seats in a first-class carriage . A portion of the constabulary , with fixed bajoneta , sat in the carriage with them , and the rest were disposed in the other carriages composing the train , to whioh there were three vans attached , conveying a carriage and four horses , in whioh the pristnera are to be brought from Thurles , where they will leave the train , to Clonmel . At five minutes past nine o ' clock the train started . There wero few persons collected at the station , owing pro . bably to the faot oi the intended removal not having been publicly known .
( From tho correspondent of the Times . ) Clokmbl , Sept . 18 th . —The authorities have announced to-day that Ryan , a policeman ( who was said to havo been hanged by the insurgents ) , ia safe .
ANOTHER ARREST . A man named Kelly was arrested at Clerihan , on Saturday night , armed with a gun . He ia committed for trial .
THE _BPECIAL _COMMISSION . The judges , as we havo already stated , are to be Chief Justioe Blackburne , Chief Justice Doherty , and Judge Moore . It is usual in special commissions to try treasonable _offencea , to name , at least , three judges . At the trials of Arthur O'Connor and his _aBBociatea at Maidstone , in Kent , thenumbBr of commissioners exoeeded three . At the trials of EmmeH , and those implicated in his insurrection in 1803 , five judges wero named in the commission ; only _thros sat . The trial of Frost and his asseoiate 3 , at Monmouth , in 1830 , waB oonduoted by three judges . The commission will open unlike ordinary _asniz's for the county at large . For ordina * y purposes the county has been divided into two ridings , the assizes for the north riding being held at Nenagh , for the

TUB IN 8 URGENT MOVEMENT .

Humble no longer at the feet of the law , for it has no eyes , nor ears , nor bowels of humanity ; but it has eyes of horn aod a heart of steel .

Bat where is that spirit of determination which gave lustra to the Irish character since the earliest ages in every corner of the _olrillsed world ! Resolve at the present

THB SECOND ' INSURRECTION —THB APPR 0 ACHINO STATH TRIALS—IBS NEW _AGITATION—EMIOKAMON OF THK PEASANTRY . ( From our own correspondent . ) Dpblin , September 19 . Tou have heard terrible things of ' insurrection ths second' wbich began and ended on last Tuesday , in the _neighbourhood of _Carriok-on . Suir , and the adjacmt localities . The Tory newspapers of tbe Munster countiesparticularly the old woman in lodgings who drives the CtoNMSi _Chsonicle—have set the empire ringing with tales of ' broken _bridges '— _« f' beleagued castles '— of ' captured oannon '— of police barracks being in ashes—of ragged regiments beyond counting being perched on the Tipperary and Waterford hills—of _eairmisbes at all hours with tho peelers and soldiers—of hordes of pikes . men being mtwed . down by military bullets , & c , & c .
I need not be minute in describing wbat hat occurred last week in the south . Your last publication glveB enougb of the particulars , and a good deal more than is true . ¦ This is no blame to you , however . These stories found an echo in the mist of the Irish papers , and even _journals published on the spot . The truth amounts to this—there is a reckless spirit of discontent asd despair amongst the people all over Ireland , and particularly in the southern portions of Ireland . Some cause , not yet well defined , colleotod several mobs of half-starving , unemployed peasantry on the hills In South Tipperary , and in the vicinity of Waterford oa last Tuesday . Their oh * jec seems te _htve been to take up arms to procure a day's food by force . A police barrack or two was attacked , shots fired into them ( It is said ) without effect , and shots
returned from them , killing tbree ar four « insurgents , ' and wounding several—the exact _nnmber not being ascertained _. Several farm houses were summoned for contributions towards the Insurgent _C-mmissorlat ; _several bullocks , pl _.-s , aad sheep were Bent voluntarily to the bills ; numerous peasant cabins were entered by the mob ordering ' out' the inmates fit for fight ; the para _, pets of Orannagh _. bridge were levelled in a vain attempt to break down tbe thoroughfare ; the residence of the mad Marquis of Waterford was threatened with a visit ; tht Dublin CAstle authorities beoame' all over , ' and packed off poor General _M'Donald and tho 60 th R fles to the stat of war ! On their arrival , ' all was found qniet I ' The ' captured cannon' were foand oa the _pmpets o ( Curraghmore House ; the mad Beresford was found alive and well .
The peasantry are all got into their huts , and such of them as have any employment , busily and quietly en . gaged in its performance . All is now as quiet and miserable as the bitterest enemies of our oountry can desire . Suoh is the termination of the ' second edition ' of the great Irish Insurrection of 1818 ! I But will ihe people continue quiet ? No , Tboy are now desperate . Hunger , nakedness , want , drives them mad , and they are reckless of consequences , and England's 10 , 000 sol . _diers will not be able to keep anything like peace in tho county of Tipperary ' . Ot coarse there is no chinos of anything like a formidable right , bat the state of things I pro Hot will prove more ruinous to England than another ' triumph' like that of Waterloo I
Tho preparations for tbe coming state trials go on with unabated aottvity . The Commission opens at Clon . mel on next Thursday , the 21 st Inst ,, and W . Smith O'Brien , Thomas F . Meagher , Mr _M'Mnnus _, _Mr-O'Donohoe , and Beveral of the miner insurgents will bo put ob their trial . Those prisoners bave received copies of the _lnfo ? ra » ttons against thorn which _include tbe de « positions of nearly fifty witnesses who are to appear on the trials ! Tho most of theso aro policemen and per * sons connected with the Slieveoidagh collieries iu , tba neighbourhood of Ballingarry . It is reported that Lord John Russell is to appear on the part of Smith O'Brien _(' . ) . when , it is said , he will be made to disclose tales which will fill the world with as . _tonishmerit .
Mr Duffy ' s case will not come on now . He appears before a jury of the count ; of Dublin , at the commission which opens in Graeneireet on tbe 21 st of next October . Lord William Fitzgerald aad hit _co-labourers have not given up the egltutioa for a ' Rotatory Parliament and Court' in Dublin , The ; have high hopes of success , and on next Saturday , tbe 23 rd lost , thfy Btart a new weekly journal , — .
