This was tha old hunting ground of the famous herculean Irish _ch- _' eftain , Fin M & c _/ vwl , who two thousand years _aso led his warriors and his wolf hounds in stormy cba = e through its defile- ' , and ivsr its _crass .

IS 43 . It is f _honi-ht that Mr Meagher waits an attempt on tbe part of government to arrest him . before be sounds the call . ' To your tents , oh Kilkenny ard Tipperary ! ' J . B . _'Diiloo is . I hear , up in Galway , stirring up _the'tribe-i' of that ancient anti-Saxon _ci-y . Some of the miner _mHnters of ths _coincil are in the midlard districts : asd it is calculated that fourteen of the thirty two Irish counties will bs in open rebellion bnfr . re the end of the week .
In _thf meantime , government 13 net losing 3 moment . It a Jste letter to the _Stas I _sa'd they would 'leave no stone unturned , ' top .. t a final period to the _insurrecth nary morement in this islai-d . I have not r . e _» - deceived . Tbey eo on bravely with the _work . The garrison of this city ha 3 been augmented by a e _* mr > I _*? of _fioymnd men , 5 md further militarv arriva _!** are expected to-day and to-morrow , On vpsterday . a ca _* _up was flung up on thePrcenrx Park , tear the _mauazise battery , which is occupied by 800 men ot he 75 _. h Infantry . Tha arming and organisation of the Orangemen gce 3 en quickly to *) , and the _pi-i'ice hare receired cutlasses snd pistols . It is said * hat the railitary will take _possessica of all the _bridges over th _» Liffev and the two canals to
morrow _, and that no person will be let into or ent of the c : _* _y _without a pa ? s- The search for arms will bs commenced on this day or to-morrow , and it is _ssid that tbe most fiery of tha clubs will shoot down or pike the police who may come to their houses . A good many arrests for _carryisg and having arms abroad bare _bsi n already effected , and th _^ sa so arrested hare in most cases been sent for trial . One _y-ounu mas , the son cf a respectable grocer and spirit merchant , was arrested at a late hour last night with 3 pike in bis _possession , which he was carrying lo flin _** into tie Liffey rather than surrender it to the authorities . No ar _* B 3—not a _sin _^ lestand—I believe _, hare b ? pn as yet giren up , and very few have made _asnlica-ion to the officers appointed to erant licences
for retaining them . No member ! or _ex-membsr of a C ? _nfederate Club , no matter how respectable , will be _sranted licence , bat it appears that the fact of a man's bein ? an O'Connellite Repealer will not disqualify him from the privilege . Several of the _gunsmith _*** and pike-makers have left town for the purpose of effecting sa l es in _nnproclaimed district ? . It 13 said that the celebrated pike-forge in _CbarJee-sfreet is _sbut-BD , and _Divid _Hylazd , the proprietor , gone down lo pursue his * occupation' in the town of Carlow , which , by the way , is getting a 9 rebellions these latter days as any other town in Ireland . In short , terror and uncertainty is tha ordsr of the day , and
no man knows when the dreadful intelligence of the rural copulation beine ; * up' may arrive . The Bask of Ireland ar * d the General _Pcat-cfSce are strongly _garriscn-d , ar . d every clerk , and servant , and porter in each of thess establishments , is armed to the teeth . There will be no review of the garrison troop 3 in the Phoenix Park lo-day , though there hs 3 been a re _» iew there on every Taesday and Friday since the _commencement of the summer season . It _hss been told to me this _mcmEnt , that thera are _Eentinels on all the avenues leading to the hay and straw markets in _Smitbfiald , lest fhe carta and waggon _losds of these materials shoold be captured by the clubs for th ? _cnnBtmciroa of barricades . I do
not vnuca for this , however . Ton will see that the _Natios and _Felos _^ of last Saturday have not abated a _single scintilla of their ' Felony ' There are no cop ies exposed for sale in the h _= i * r , d 5 ofthe new 3 _Vendors or print-shops , bnt , _naiocldifh . ' if a man wanted fifty copies of eithsr jsur na ! , he _cnu'd get them-C G . Duffy , John Marlin , and the other incarearated ' Felons , ' will not address the people any more . An order from the Board of Superintendence prohibits tbeir feeing allowed to write any politics ! arli cle =, or to _roblish or date any writing or document from Nrwgate pri . _'on in future .
Jo -n O'Connell is now in the South of Ireland , lt 13 said terethathe is the daily guest of Sir Charles Kapler , and that hs is instructing him on the best mode of attacking and destroying the f rebel' Irish villages and towns on the Cork and Kerry coasts 11 % has published another of bis blackguard letters in the _PiLCinswepaFer , _denouncing' Young Irelacd _, ' hoarding tfce _government on the clubs , and _tel _j _isg his ' dear countrymen' that he will come to Dablin in a few days , and that he w ' vl re open the old Markethouse on Burgh Qaay , for political traffic and mon-Eter * _thimble-Eigging , ' early in August . But we _nsFr bim t _* play tbe old gameagain ! Oh , no , ' my dear son John , ' itis all op with you ! Your occupation is gone , and , whatever may b ? the fate of' Young Ireland , ' your influence and political character is crashed for ever .
. . Feargu- O'Connor has once more earned the eternal _blti-sinis of Ireland . His gallant stand agaicst Lord John ' s ' Suspension' notice in the Commons , mil hi a bright page in the weary histtry of our _unfortunate country . And yet , Mr O'Connor wss once pointed at by the Conciliation Hsll swindlers , as an enemy to Ire ' And , and a dangerous member of society . He was certainly a ' dangerous' member in any _Bcciery where thc O'Connells would rule the _reast , but every day proves that Ireland has no warmer friend , no more faithful advocate , than the
brave descendant ofthe brave O'Connors . I _regret _;? say that , daring the last few days , the crop 3 have suffered much trom bad weather , and the fatal potato _blight has made its appearance in many districts of the country .

The magistrates ar- * , we believe , in full po _^ _e-Mon of the _proceedings of the _« e _disafhcis'ii co : tri . _s , snd ara quit . ! aware of their most secret resolves .

A railitary camp ia to ba formed at Everton ; ii is to be _niti-hed in a _fisld opposite to Waterhouse-lane , _at _. d th " e 9 _"h Regiment of Infantry , 1 000 strong , with a body of Dragoons and a hrigada of Artillery _, arrived on Saturday to occupy it . The pi lice , who for the last few days have bsen trained to the use oftbe _irnsket , in addition to the sword eiercite , appear to relish the task , and have attained , ! , is said , a surprising tffioiency for so short a _tiftjp . Fer some time a body of 500 military have been stationed here ; the pensioners , a most efficient corps
oi 700 mis , aleo hold _themsslves in readiness . The additional soldiery who have _already arrived are , thc entire reg _i-nent . with the exception of one company , ofthe 9 th Infantry , three companies of the SM Infantry , snd three or four troops oftbe 4 th Royal Irish _Dragoons . A brigade of artillery has also arrived from GaeBter ; and we understand that an _tffici-il communicition was yesterday ( Sucday ) received thst _another bedy of 1 , 000 men ( tbe regiment is not tmn'Kne _' _-r ) will arrive here by rail in three companies , dicect from London , in the _course ot tbe dsv .
About three o ' clock on Saturday afternoon a petition io the House »> f _Cemmons , _epiana'ing from the recently formed Constitutional _Association here . praying for an extension of Lord John Russell's measure for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland to Liverpool icas laid upon the table in the Exchange ' rooms . It was headed _tiy the Earl of _Sefton , signed also by the mayor , Mr Rushton , and all the magistrates ' , and received nearly 400 signatures in the _course of an hour . Two arrests were made on Saturday , those of two men charged with having illegal weapons in their possession . One of these , a man named Caddie , was stopped in th 3 street with a bag full of formidable pik ' - _'heads ia his _possession . Last nig ht the various clubs in town had private meeting - ; . The ' John Mitshel' Club also met at Birkeohead , with closed doors .
_PROGRESS OF _POLITICAL EXCITrMEST AT LIVERPOOL . ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) ARBE 5 _T CF riEE-VENDESS . Tuesday . —Frum the great preparations which are _goioic forward on the part of toe Mayor and magistrates of Liverpool , it is evident that they labour under the apprehension of an outbreak , ehould the 'Confederate Clubs' dare to resist the tremendous power with which the _Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland has just been armed . Accordingly , specid cocstab ' _es continue to bs sworn in ; but as the inhabitants fcave but little taste for facing pikes , great numbers of _es'ra police are being appointed , Plenty of re cruits tor this bu 9 ire _? s -ire coming forward , and they d ;> p ! ay the most laudable z _.-al lor ' preserving the peace . '
The military , of whom there are now upwards of 2 , 000 in Liverpool , are abtut to encamp at Everton , so that they can command the town from that eminence . Tbe police are not only drilled to the use of the sword , bat hare bad muskets placed in their hands , and althpugh they are not yet by any means as crack shots as Kentucky mf n , still report sptaks very favourably of their progress in the manual and platoon exercise . Several arrests have taken place of persons carrying pikes . Last n'ght a man wa 3 captured in Iiur .-t street who was carrying a bag containing pikes , bayonets , cutlasses , and pistols . He was taken to Bridewell and lodged there . The pria _oners were examined before the magistrates to-day , a nd remanded .
Two privates of the 89 th were arrested last sight for shouting for Repeal in the streets . They were lodged in Bridewell . A portion of ihe 83 th sail for Ireland this afternoon . ( From tbe Liverpool Mercury of Tuesday . ) The rognhr police _foroe , under the direction of Mr Dowling and his officers , numbers 800 . These , by direction 6 f the Secretary of Stats , have been lately regularly drilled to tbe use of the carbine and the sword , and they already display great proficiency in their new duties . Annoyed and fatigued by extra driU and extra duty , they have arrived at that state of mind when tbey will prove very formidable opponents , if once let loose upon a rebellious Eiob . Their hearts arc in their work , and they seem determined ,
at all hazard ? , to protect the peace of the tewn , and tbe _safety of the uaeffending and orderly inhabitants . The force is to be increased to the extent of 500 , and Mr Dowling was occupied the greater part oi yesterday in examining applicants lor the situation . The list is rapidiy rilling np , and considering the _number of able-bodied men wbo are applying , the full complement of 1 , 300 will , in all likelihood , ba completed to day . The corps of pensioners , numbering 700 men , bave had directions to hold themselves in read _ness ; and _those who know anything of _Liverpool , and the pfcaceab ' e nature generally of its inhabitant *? , will be inclined to think that such a force weuld be sufficient to quell any riot which might _tsfee Dlace here , but the magistrates have determined to be on tbe safe side . They have applied to government , snd the bead-quarters of the north-western military district hare beea _remored to this town . General Sir William Warre and his staff of officers
have taken up their residence here , and there is a rumour that permanent barracks are about to be erected in Everton . There are at _preseat in _Liverpool the _fallowing troops : —The 9 th Regiment two companies ofthe Slst Regiment , the Sfl : h Regiment , a company of the COth Rifles , a squadron of tbe 4 th Dragoon Guards , a brigade of Artillery , and yesterday , the 60 th Regiment arrived , the t"tal number in tovTB being about 2 , 000 . These are _disponed in various parts of the _borough , so as to bs brought out immediately Bhould their services be required . Tbe warehouses of Mr Molyneux , _Sefton-street , Seelstreet police-station , the North Corporation Schools , and Lucas ' s Repository have been temporarily appropria ed to the use of the _treopa . Two additional pieces of artillery have arrived here for nse , the four pieces belonging to the town have been ordered to he mounted , and ic is known that upwards of two thou sand stand of arms have been « ent here by government , with the necessary ammunition .
It is in ' ended , we relieve , to erect a camp for s portion of the soldiers in a field opposite _Waterinusslane , Everton . We were informed that the materials arrived yesterday , but up to ten o ' clock last night nothing had been done towards the formation of the camp . Of special constables , somewhere about 20 000 have been sworn in in the several wards . Steps have also been taken to organise the corps and appoint leader . ' . A plaee of rende _£ vou 3 has been taken in each ward , and there a guard ia placed night and day , to give the alarm , should the _necessity for so doing arise . About 1 , 000 men belonging tc- the dork works have been sworn in , and amply provided with formidable weapons , and all tbe publio buildings in the town are guarded day and night .
Bibrekhkad . —Birkenhe & d , following theexamplo of Liverpool , has set its shoulder to the wheel , in making preparations for any outbreak which may occnr in the present unsettled state of affairs . A recommendation having been sent to the magistrates , signed by many of the most respectable inhabitants , arging upon them the necessity of sitting for the pur . pose of swearing ef special _canstablos , Mr Harden , Mr Shaw . Mr J . S . Jackson , awl Colonel Glegg attended yesterday at the Police _Sonrt for that purpose , when upwards of 300 of- the inhabitants were sworn in , ani the _Qujabepyfifcto 04 . 8 * 0 * 0 , in is about m .

There is this _diffidence between Russia and here ; thero they dial with them _summarilv ,
but hero we are insulted wi . h tte mockery of an examination before poor old _Dame-Durdeu liberal ma-•• istra ' _cB , who are frightened at their own shadows , and would go iuto _hysterics at the s und of a popgun—then we are sect to triil before partisan _judges aBd bigoted juries—found guilty , sentenced to imprisonment , and tho premier , the attorney general , the hangers-on of gorernment , and all tho short-sighted of the land , proclaim the _startling truth , * That the majesty of the law has been vindicated , tbe _designing _selfiah demagogues put down , and peace and tranquillity _remored ! ' Humbug extraordinary . M'Douall haa been committed onthree distinct charges , viz .: attending an unlawful
_assembly , sedition , & 11 J riot ; and wa Lave sepn and heard on 9 of tho ' noble' lords who committel him , spevk at as riotous , _tumultuoup , and _ssaitious , an assembly as that for which he committed M'Douall . Em tbat was in ths days of ' rampant , tyrannical _^ Toryism . ' The noble lord above went scot free , and it remained for _ua , in there days of Whig liberality , to _wimesB the damning spectacle , of a prefe 38 iona ! _ gentleman , _educated at one of the _firot _colleges in the world , committed to prison for _addressing the _inhabitant of Asht n from a window . This mectinj ! was unquestionably one of the m < _-. st peaceable and orderly meetings ever held in England . Oh shame ! where ia thy blush ? Oh bigotry . ' where is thv conscience ?
However , men aad women of Ashton , so it I ' . _M'Diuall , upon the _patehed-up—made up—dovetailed evidence of four policemeu _, has been committed to take hh trial at Liverpool , in TnnEK wkeks from now When he came amongst you , he had a good freehold property in Scotland , a profession and practice which realised him several hundred pounds annually—besides a large sum of accumulated money in the _b-itk ; all of which haa been spent long _ago in the advocacy of the right of the _paople to get a goed living for moderate labour , and the universal right of the _people of these realms to be enfranchised , and enjoy the _^ great principle of ' Equal rights and equal law ? . ' Now that hia ail bas been spent , and another attack about to be made on his liberty , shall v ? _a desert him ? No , never , never , never !
Let us then realise a defence fund , and maka the same generous sacrifices for him that he has made for us . Plenty of evidence can be produced on the trial to disprove many of the statements made and sworn to by thoso who swore agakst him ; but never forget that it cannot be dona without money to pay the _expenses of those parties going to Liverpool . Fiy _, then , to the rescue of one of Britain ' s best and bravest sons , and by your united _enargy your collections may be of such a cast that even Bhould a jury ba found b 3 _sc enough to _convict him , he will not have to add to it tho mortifying fact—he must exist oa prison fare ; and his wife and three little ones _uader seven _yeiTs of age suffer not only his want , but want also the common necessaries of life .
_ A committee has been formed to receive subscriptions for the defence , and we hope that warm . g _2 aerons , and enthusiastic feeling displayed during his detention , examination and release from the Town llall will not die away , till he 13 again himself as free as te _wisaas to see tha whole human family . Wiliia * n Aitken , Treasurer , to whom all _subacriptioni must ba taken . The Committee will meet in the Chartist room , on Saturday evenings , from seven till nine _oVosk P . S . On inquiry we Gnd that there is not a single
tittle of truth in fhe rumour , in reference to Mr _Mostyn , as he declares his feelingB and _sjmpathies are with Dr M'Douall , and tbat he would suffer death in any shape sooner than become the hireling of a government , or any sot of mea wbo seek to stab liberty , and injnre the fearless and honest advocates of holy freedom . We deeply lament that any rumour should get abroad injurious to the character of an honest man , and we believe Mr Mostyn so to te , We hope this short ar peal will remove any wrong _imprear-ions made on the minds of the people , and tha Mr Mostyn will receive that respect he ia entitled to .

Ikqtjbst ? . —Mokdat —Alleged _MnnnKR . —Before Mr II . Baker , al the Royal Mason , Poplar , respecting the death of John Doharty , aged nineteen , a _ballaat . getter , in the employ oi the Trinity . _hoase Corporation , who was alleged to have been forced into the river by George Green . On Monday , the 17 tb instant , the _dectased with higparents went to Blackwall to witness a rowing maich . They pro . ceeded in a boat to a ballast-barge , belonging to the Trinity-house , lyinz off the East and West India D . _'cka . The boat _wasmade fast to the barge , and the deceased and his sister went on board , leaving
their parents in the boat . The deceased went along the gunwale of the barge . Green was Bitting upon the washboards , and on the deceased attempting to remove _thsra to form _soatSi Green desired him to leave them alone , saying that he did not belong to the barge . The deceased replied that he was in the service of the Trinity-house , and that he had a right to bo on board . An alteroation then ensued between them , and Green offdred to _fightthe deceased , who _refused , when _Gxeen struck him ? . violent blow , and ha fell backwards into the river , and was drowned . The body was not recovered until the
following Friday . —Mary Ann _D-jhart y stated positively that Green was the man who struck the deceased . —Another witness corroborated her evidence . —Mr Pelham , who appeared on behalf oftheao cased , said he had several witnesses who would prove that George Green was not the person , but his brother William , who so nearly rcserablea the accused that in the absence of the one tbe other would be taken for him . Mr _Ballantine , tbe magistrate , had remanded George Green until this day , for the purpose of having tbe prisoner ' s brother apprehended and brought before him , —The Coroner said it would be better lo have both brothers placed _together , and the inquiry trae adjourned until Wednesday next .
Magisterial Tyranny towards a Special Constable —LnuGHBOROCGJi . —It will be remembered tbat . n Mr O'Connor ' s visit to thia town on _Whit-Wednesday la ' t , the meeting was prohibited by the authorities , and that Yeomanry Cavalry , police , and special _constables were in great requisition . A Mr _William Harris , a special constable , after having been on duty all the day , was disgusted at night on seeing a number of the special inroxiccted ; and _judginir from the quiet _s'ate of the town that his services were not _Itkely to be wanted by the inhabitants , went home . For this he was summoned before the magistrates , and fined £ 0 and costs , or in default to be committed
to prison for one montb _, with hard labour . Ihe sentence was , however , commuted to a fane 10 £ 1 and costs , or fourteen days' imprisonment , which _imprisonment he served rather than pay the fine . A public meeting of the _inbabitants was h & , d on _Wednesday week , July 19 th , iu tha Marketplace , t » memorialise Sir G .

Tbe _obji-ot which M < _- O'Connell and the _Repeal Association bad held out to the p _.-oplo of Ireland was , tbnt the Act of Union might be repented—that a Parliament might sit in _hvlond , constituted of LordB and Commons , and tbat , as a _Parliament had sat in Ireland from 1782 to
1 S 09 , ao l . _ltiwiBe , bythe repeal of tbo union , another Parliament _misht ba revived to legislate for Ireland . Thoy also declared tbnt they desired to _nttaiu that o ' r . _jtJCt only by peaceful agltailon . The new confederacy , ty wbat-ver name they w _; re called , holl forth their object at _fir't _Bcrncwbat covertly and _arnhi-juousij _, bu ' , more _op-jnly as tbey proc _^ _PQed- ~ altho . _igh I think it was quite evident to any one who _esamlnjd their language from tha beginning , that _th-. _'ir object waa _s total separation oi _Iral . _iad from the dominions ofthe Crown . ( Uear , hear . ) TLoyht . ld . ijn certain lax conditions , a sort of allegiance to the Sov , _- > - ralitH of this country , but thtir object evidently waa that they should be totvlly independent , and that no _counsels of the Sovereig n of tbli couutry were ot all to i . _ffjet ihe
oursti otlrgis _' ation oradminiotration ia Ii _-elond . ( _Hiar , hear . ) They pointed clearly , as I think , to the spparfltio . n ofthe two ni _' . lon' , and tothe iBdependenee of Ire land under _to-fie other form of _gorei-nnic-nt ; for , what _, _tvar might _bi _thought—whatever I for _ona might thiuk of tte proposal | of tbe _rtpeal of the _legislative union , se tending to a dismemberment of tho empire , that was b matter of reasoning , of argument , aud of proef—the _separation which these _pereonB contended for wan ob _vious in the face of their proceedings and proposals ( Hear , boar . ) Likewise as to ilia me * us by which the ) _propo-isd to effect their obj ct—those _nu-ans , from thc 0 gianini ; wero _rtistlnauishcd by tho application of tht term ' physical fore * , ' as opposed to ' moral _fi-jrce , ' whicb
desijfnatfd the mode of operation by the old R ' _psalvrs , By the term physical force , ' they intend-d no lens than _rebellion against the Crown of this kingdom . ( Hear . ) They _thoutrut by m . _* an » of rebellion , If successful , to _eitablish tho separate Kovemraent at which tbey aimed . Whatever might bs the thin disguise _aBSumod at first as to their object , or as to tho want nf power of carry i ng it into effjot , a great charge has been produced by the _OTtnts wbich havo taken place within the Met fsw months . Tbe misfortune which fell upon Ireland of the Wight in tha _pa'ato _crop , and tho consequent wan : of f , _-ad by millions of her poople—the _lmptrfncilons which naturally belong to any plan of endeavouring by artificial _m-ans to feed th _036 who aro deprived of their crdienry _subsietenci—afforded to thoso who were looking to the
¦ separation of Ireland from tbis country _tiia means of furthering their objects , _a- ? d of exciting tho passions of tho people against this country . Bo it observed tV . at , as far aa I know , they _nsver did anything to _esBusge that calamity . ( Loud _crios of'Hear . ') While £ 8 , 000 , 000 wera lavishly poured into Iroland by the vote of this house while £ 400 , 000 were contributed by tho volun . tary assistance of tho « In this country and Scotland _, who could not boar to soo their _fellsw-creatures _per'aning —all that w _» 3 contributed by thess parties ware seditions harangues . Inflammatory appeals to the passions of the peoplo , _andendriavourB to misrepresent the motives and amount of the contributions of tbiB country , ( Cheera ) When Ireland was in some degree , and but very slowly , recovering from this great calamity—when the evils con .
_acquontupon ll , _aithoug ' a still very _aovGre , wero _nome what _mitigated , there occurred an event In a neighbouring country , which has been productive ef encouragement to all who wish tbo overthrow of our institutions to all who wish to promote _rebellion ; to oil who believe thatthe Thronoand authority of thia empire can bo over _, thrown by revolt—1 allude to the event which occurred in _Franes in the month of February last . W * _oannot forget , that Immediately upon that event a deputation was sent over to Paris , comprising amoDgst Ub numbers a member of thia house , ( loud cries of ' hear , hear , ' ) with the vo . v of nsktn ? _aoaiotancefrom a country which had just sot tho example of revolution j with the virw of asking their assistance against the authority of this country , Tho attempt was unsuccessful . The
government of that country , although sprung out of a revolution , felt tbat its duties towards _neighbouring countries were paramount , and _refused to leDd Its aid to their _designs . " ( Loud ohoers . ) Thoir prcjnets , howover , went on , aud thera waa little or no _alsgulso any further attempted as to what tbey really Intended . We _raay all remember that a newspaper wa 9 Bet up , called the Uhited _Ibi-hmam _, to whose arguments I will net ci 11 tho attention of thia houso with any view to tho author of tho articles , because ho is now _suffering tho pen _.-. lty of tho offenco which ho _commitcd ( hear , hoar ); but I call the attention of the house to the fact , beoau 99 the sympathy which nas been exhibited towards him b y this party in Ireland shows that they identify themselves with tiio sentiments which wero expressed by the author of
those articlts , nnd which wero found in Ireland to be articles tending to ihe overthrow of the government ot the country , and to tho deposition of the Queen from her crown snd dignity . ( Hear , ) It is notorious that every kind of sympathy has been shown , and that every Bert of indignation bas ken _exprossod that a parson nliohad avowed suoh _ssntimeurs should havo heen punished . It has _beon declared tbat he is one of the best patriots in Ireland , an _> 4 that bo far from deserving punishment he merited reward . O ther papers wero _subseqtientlj set up which followed in the oamo steps , nnd I now hold in my hand a newspaper called the Ibsse Felon , and so . c _> illod because that individual was convicted of a felony ; I wish to rend a passBge from tbe writings of one person- , aeontributct ? to that paptr . who _signa _himscif 'James F
Lalor , 'iu which I think will bo found the general spirit of tho sentiments which havo been expressed by these Confederates , Tho writer _aays '— ' We bold the _prosont _existing govmment of this island , end oil exlitlncr rights of property in our wil _^ to bo _meroun-irpiitionand tyranny , and to be null anu' void , as of moral effrct ; and our purpose is to abolish them utterly , or lose our lives in tho attsmpt .

and thfl disorders wbich _h-ve never _ceased to _ifllict our p . _'opln under tbe _swty ot Britain . ' The houso will seo ia this _disclaim-r that they meant to _associate for pur . _pojos of plllogeand massacre ; that they do not d _' _sguiso that their object io no ' , to obtain a rrp _: al of the union , tut to overthrow _altogether the _s _« 8 y of the government which they are bound to obey —( hear , hear ) '—and that nothing less than tha _dlfmomberrnent of the empire would satisfy their wUhea und aspirations . ( Hear , hear . ) So much then , I think , from _theirown _confession , may be taken as tto what is their obj _> ct . You may _beilevti with me or not , that In _^ _tbe _accompliihment o' that obj ct they would _necossarlly ovorthrow the _swayofreli glon , and the < xlstence of property as it is uow held in Ireland ; bu : this you must believe , that it is a traitor _, _ous conspiracy intended to overthrow tiSe government ol
the united hingdom , and to put some new national au thority , _republican or _othernisc , in its place , which is _hereaii' r to rule Ireland as a separate country . ( Hear , h' _-ar _. ) That I say is the leas : —rating their _oljocts ne you will—that is the _stna'lest end to which you c _^ u be . - . ' . eve them to aspire . ( Loud cheers . ) I come now , sir , to tbat which I here siited would bo the seeend proposl . tion which I should have to submit to the _houstnamely , that there aro formidable m _nns preparing intinled to produce rebellion , and which pre only too likely to end in rebellion , against the authorities wbich nowoxist . Sir , although thero may be projects of the raost i'jurious and of the most mischievous character , vet If _thsse projects ore _entertained _byafowpersonr ,
onlyif they are entertained by some obscure club or _insigDifi can ! _tsot'ocitition , such is the free _constitution of the gov rumeut of tbis couutry , which permito every hind ot opinion to ha _caprcsped , it wou'd be felt tbat we _ofiould 1 e siicrilicin ; the greater to the less if wo were to in : er . _fer-j by means of a _» _ry extraordinary law to crush an evil which was in itself small in amount , and which was not to be compared to the _general advantajo nnd good arising from -. be perfect liberty cf opinion which every man in this conntry has a right to enjoy . But , although I _believtd for a timo such was tbe nature of these projects , and although I had hoped that such would have cont ! - _nued to bo the case , yet I am sorry to eay that til the accounts thBt we have received frem Ireland have tended
t ) the _rooclusiou tbat tho organisation proposed by these Confederates is formidable , that it Is rapidly ex . finding , and that in some parts of tke country they and tbe persons associated with these Confederates , are already rips for rebellion , After the law waa passed by this houso , _somewhero about the month of April , which gave the power ' of _bringing before a court of justice for f lony _perBOHB who were _consp ' _rinij to de-pose the Sovereign , or to levy war _ngainst the Sovereign and b y which law a great checfe was placed upon the designs ot conspirators in Irclsnd , a confederation was formed in ihj organisation of clubs , and it waB determined to send missionaries into the country with a view of persuading persons in tbe great towns , and e en in small towns and _villsges , to adopt a similar organisation , For a time those _iff-rts did not succeed . Tho accounts wc received
irom the _Lord-Lleutennnt of Ireland tended to Induce ub to believe tbat that organisation would not become immediately formidable . But very soon those accounts changed tbeir character , and both tho Lord-Lieutenant and thc Lord _Ghancallor of Ireland , founding them *** Ives upon what they saw in Dublin and npon tbe accounts ro . cei .-ed from the country , pronounced tbat the _coafe . _deiaeyofclubawaa beooming organised , numerous and formidable . It Is , however , chl fly within tho list month that these proceedings bavo assumed tbe character whioh I am about to detail to the house . In the firot place I will refer to u private letter which Lord _Chsrendon _directed to my right hon . friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department , in the beginning of this montb , ia respect to the then state of things . He stated _tii at' A decision need not bo Immediately come to
bj ber Majesty ' s government ; but I am afraid that before the . Parliament is prorogued tha government will have to determine whether they _eball ask for greater _poworr . from parliament or pormi ! the organisation for aa immediate civil war to remain unmolested . ' The _acoruota received tt rough tho constabulary reports , at the same time , from different par ' . & _t-f Ireland were of an equally formidable cdwncter . On tho 3 rd ofJu _' y the following account was received from Tipperary : — 'Tbere havo been 6 ve confederate _ciubs _ftrmud at _Carriclt-on-Suir ; they havo about _CtiO members ia all . No persons tu : members _ora admitted to _theij meetings , Their object seems to be to _ascertain their strength io cuee ot _irjsurrectie . n . ' On the oh of July the following account was _received from Meath : — ' A meeting to form a Repeal Club was hold at Trim on the 2 nd inst . _MeEsrs Duffy and
Dillon werp _present and _addresst-d the people , _urged _thctn to _provido arms , and said they expected to see the constabulary iB tho from raDh of tho Irish Haticnol Guard . ' © a the 6 th of July tho following was rcceivid irom the _crnioiy Louth : — 'The United Irishman Cub met at _Dundalk on tho 29 th ult . , about _fiftj persons present . The usual cpeech & _s- wero made . A Mr Boston taid , fcv would endeavour to put the government down unices they put him down , and if he was transported there w 6 ro othors to take _hio place . ' The f ; flowing wa 9 thn _ascoont from _Wrsford oa the 7 th of July : — ' A _rnectiag of tho Repeal Club was held at Bree on the 2 nd _iosunt , Mr _Wbitty proposed _sevoral violent resolutions that none but toon of good _character bo admittssd , nor po'iceinan to be admitted without a warrant , A MrjBevin produced a pattern of a
ctipap piko tor poew- persons , urged ti « people to arm and drill , and suggested modoB of attack , & C . ' I should say that tbo mttboi pursued by these _Cjnftderatss wua In _general to summon a meeting for some political object , to harangue that meeting in vlolont speeches , and Immediately afterwards to form aa association os club which waB to meet secretly . Thero clearly havo been In all t heso instances In the first place , a meeting in which some speech was made ofa violent character ; but meetings then followed week after week , in wbich no _persons wera admitted but those who belonged to the Confederation ; and if any person presented himself to te admitted , tuch a ? a _polloeman , for the purpose of giving
Information to the government , or who went as a loyal man to observe their proceedings , be was carefully _excludod . The account reopived from Cork on the 7 th of Jaly Is this * . — * There are now about fifteen Confederate clubB formed , or In course of formation in this city , and probably about 2 , _000 names enrolled in them ; there are lew . If any respectable persons amor g _* t them ; some of 'ht'BO clubs have been open to the polico visiting them ; at a few admission has been refused . ' Another account from Cork on the same day states that 1 A meeting of Confederates took _placo at _Skibbereen on the Sad to enrol a National Guard ; the speakers advised arming and organisation ; It was stated HO names were enrolled , ' On the 8 th of Jaly tho _followisf _acgount wag received from

' ; that thy _wtrs ready to arm _thtmatlvef _, ond ti appear _whes thty were called for , Another event to which I wish tt > allude took place it _WaTEi-ford . A Mr Meagher , who ia one well known for bavin- ' used lan _.-uage frequently exciting the people to rebellion and insurrection , was _arrested at \ Vaterf"rd 00 a charge of sedition . Several thousand persons collected together vmbing to rescue _JIrMe . * ghtr , bu" he _rUclared that it would be wasting the blood of the Irish people to attempt _eucIi h thing . Thj Roman C . itl . ohc Clergy , I tm bound to say , used all their ( ffortg to keep the pfaco , and Mr _ilesgher waa conveyed without _resistance _sut of the to _« n of Waterford . There was soon a ' _terwarda a _meeting , which assembled on a _mountain well known in the _political history of Ireland , cnlled _SUerenan : _or _, _trhich _^ -33 _attend ' , d fi me Bay by 10 , 01 ) 0 , and others by 15 _, 000 persons , to h _» _-nr Mr Meagher , Mr Doheny _, and others . Wh . u Mr Meagher returned io Waterford from that _meetinjr , ho was waited for by several _tbousai-e'Ipirso & a . _vvfco _itisoed to five him
a _welcome , and I have ; : n acct _. unt of what happened at Waterford from a person with nhorn I bave cme ac qualntanee , whom I know perfectly well by rjoucation , vnd who is entirely _trustworthy , m , to the cl : as of _ptr _. s _^ . nj who . _ve _^ re thus » bi . t . r . g to _recidve Mr Meaghvi . TWa gentleman 6 ajs : — 'It being now ten _o'cl-. ck at night , and dark , 1 resolved to go to tte tud of tne bridge , where many _thousands were waiting . * * There were no politics spoken of , ' out that all tho p ' . _ins were making to upset the uutbori'jo _' , so ihat _iluy _nioy have tho _piunder . One fellow said , 'lam _Egui' _.-st plunder . ' ' Well , and eo am I , ' was the answer , ' bnt it ij not _plunder ; they occo got it trom us , and it must be _o-. r turn now , ' This watt the _s-j _' . er . _- _rd serious burt _' eu of thtir son ? , End I have no _iusitaiion in satin *; that , _ualesu _governm-nt take instant steps although tbey wiil in the tnd get the better of these people , before that much _properly and the lives of many respectable _u'ojjle will ba _Sflcrinced . ' I can aiisner for tho character _ofsr . o _gcs tiet > . an who wrote that letter , being a may ot * experience both in civil life and in foreign war , and of as much
courage and firronesa ae any man wbo is in tbe 6 ervice of Her _Mujesty . Tho state of Waterford has beeu _lieBcribsd to me by other persons , and I havo seen many letters from _pjrsons wbo either wtre iu the neighbourhood at tho timo , or « ho went there immediately afterwards _, some ot thoso persons bedng connected with tbe place by the ties of properry and family , and well acquainted with its inhabitants and thtir political feelings , and what is most likely to be the _dii-position Of the different classes of the peoplo . The evidence of all these _persans is to oao and the same _e-ffnet , namely , that _although the persons of propm ; and the clergy , both Protestant and Roman Cathi lie , aro decidedly agaicst any outbreak , jet tbat no influence that is used by tbem _niil bave any tffvet whatever in deterring many thousand pereons of the jouugcrmim ef every class , but more especiall y of
tbo farmer and peasant class , who are determined to rise in insurrection . ( Hear , hear . ) That , sir , is the evidence wbich I have received , supported , as I think it is , by all the public accounts , and entirely believed by t he _Lsrd-LieutenaEt _, who has himself _eein and conversed with some of tbose persons who wero at _Waterfotd , In the town of C _^ _rrick-cn-Suir , also , there occurred that which , although lt Hi not end In blood , is a _tuoBt menacing warning for the future . Three persons were arrested in tbat town for what bapp ntd to be a bailable offence—not under the Felony Act , but arrested for seditious language acd drilling , and for 'hat _effenco placed la tho Bridewell of that town . An _immtnaa collection of persons immediately assembled from all the country round . Various _repoTts wore spread ; Boms that a priest had been she , _some that these men ba _^ t been
confijed , as was the _caee < and others that tbe insurrection h . td begun . But what bas been seen and witnessed was ttat tho peasantry of tbe town and _neiglifcourtjo , d , a Uw armed with muskets , aod many with rude pikes and scythes marched into the town with a most - _^ ectcing _asp'ct , aad declared that tbo prisoners must be liberated . It was thought advisable , such being the state of things , and as tbe offence was bai ablo it could _propsrJy be done , thatthe prisoners should be let out on bail ; aad when they appeared _before tbo people the tewn , which had been in the bonds of _JliiB multitude for _ecine time , re _« _sutued its usual appearance , aud again became peaceable , But it was evident tbat if there bad been causu to retain theso persons in custody——that if tho offence with which tbey wera charged bad _bocu such that they could cot havo boen bailed- —or if , fur any other _icasou , the de .
sires of tbat armed multitude could not be complied with , that blood would havo been shed , ur . d _ttio beg inning * of the insurrection would hove token place , ( Hear , hear , ) It is clear that thero was uot want * int ; tbe design , that there was [ net wanting tho will , that _tlaere was not wanting the intention to rebel ( cheert ); but tbat all tbat was wanting was the parti * cular occasion—and ibat those wbo meant ; o rise being satisfied with what was done , and iheir object being completed , no riBing took place . But no mas can doubt tbat if mBtterB bad been otherwise a commence _, ment of ti _. e insurrection would then and thero _havs taken place . ( Cheers . ) Sir , the accouats irom these _vetrioufl places are , that cow end for Bometime past the _Cotif ' derato clubs bave betn rsaking great progress in forming associations which are tu fact , seem eecietie _* ,
into which no person i _" admitted wbo i 3 not a member of theso _slubs ; that ths general obj tet which is held out to tbem is , that they are to ovtriurn tbo governr ?; cnt ; that they are to procure anus fer that purpose _; ntsd tbat nothing is aow wasting but the day ond the hour to be fixed by tbeir leaders in order to carry into t ffeei that fatal aad dreadful resolution . ( Hear , hear . ) In tbo beginning of a p rivate letter _whic » I havo received from the Lord-Lieutenant to-day , he says : — I huvo nothing satisfactory to _scEd yon to-day . The accounts from the country are as ea < l as 'hey can ba short of open _robelllon , aud oeoryfcody concurs in _sajing that the change In the feelings of the _peoi . lu _nishin thelast wetk or ten days has been tbe most rapid and complete thing over known even in iroland . Tto bad spirit hai now extended itself to Tipperary , end the stipendiary magistrate at Clonmel tells mo there is great alarm for
that town . ' It is certainly to bo _stattd _, _nr . d tbat lead * me to the further part of _tnt-t _ntilcl * 1 bare to state to tho bouso—It is certain tbat tbat which two months ago was not formidable has become formidable now , and that for tbe _paipotets of insurrection . Il may be . and I believe It will be . as the writer of thu letter from Waterford _oflirmB , that ia the event of an . outbreak theso persons will be put down in ihe end , but that muoh bloodshed will take place ; that many lives villi ba sacrificed . And we ehould have to _leprowb ourselves If we did not take 6 u : h measures u are ne * cessary ia order to prevent that outbreak from taking placp and prevent the leaders of tbat organised insurrection from taking the field for tke purpose of opposing the authorities of the country . ( Cheers . ) Sir , I come now to the measure whioh I shall think it my doty to propose , la order to mett this eneigenoj . TVt Lera . Wen . HMBi ?} Ireland , to _eotcert wiA till Um
