EXECUTIVE ADDRESS . Fellow CouNTRYMEN ,-The reign of terror progresses , and grows searchin g and dreadful . Justicethat hallowed word—which we have been long a" 8 Ot to revere as the ideal of God himself , and which ever should be the pillar on which a nation ' s faith should rest , has , we fear , but a small share of the heart-affections of the rulers of this land . Lioerjy . justice , aniright-the trinity and unity of ail that 18 good m man , and humanising in the progress of nations , exist in name , blinding thecrcduloas , deceiving and betraying the confiding and heroic of our land ; but the practical embodiment of these great principles u not manifested in the frame-work of our legislation ; nor are their fruits found in the character of our national morality ; as a dream they are fancied , as a system they are dead and inert .
So close has our political atmosphere become , that men are almost suffocated . So crowded are rumours , following in quick uncertainty j so fearful the thrilling doubts and stifled fears of every man we meet , that it requires courage even to think steadily , and boldness and nerve to direct order from this motley chaos . But duty and interest—these inseparable twinswhich when followed from love , and obeyed from instinct , seldom err in the guidance of mankind , come to us with their aid . Our duty then is to raise the
standard of principle—pure unsullied princip le . Our interest—the destinies of a nation , that knows no faction , owns no sect , but points in the true spirit of universality , and says , « Go . plant the tree of liberty , ' and if it be watered with tears , and nurtured with blood , yet it will grow green and flourish , and the sons of men will reap a thousand fold the fruits of your labours ; and as tbe sun bursts the cloud and dispels the darkness that shadows the face of the earth , so shall prosperity banish in its day the very memory of adversity . Let your hearts then fail not—have faith—have hope—have ceurage , and be MEN .
We had almost hoped that the State Persecutions of 1839 and of 1842 had paralysed the arm of despotism , and taught even the ignorant and antiquated men , who looked on power as the appanage of rank , and persecution as the rampart of its defence , that a principle was indestructible—we at least thought that cruelty would never again be added to slavery . And , in this land of free discussion , in which the printing press , with a giant arm , scattered thought abroad , we had conceived that men of all schools of politics and philosophy , might safely trust the justice oi their claims , aud the success of their wishes , to the fair field of intellectual warfare . We have been
mistaken—the error is of the heart , and generoui Englishmen will not despise so forgiving a confidence . The serpent has slept , but . it has yet the power and the will to sting , and its bite is rapacious , venomous , and cruel . Men of active intelligence and noble enthusiasm spend their sleepless nig hts and melancholy days within the walls of prisons , whilst gaunt hunger and maddened frenzy stare us in the face as we travel in city or village , in street or highway , yet are we bold enough to say to you , be patient , and let caution and discretion control the hurricane and calm the storm . The earthquake tremor now felt , will shake the quiet content of fat ignorance , and make muBty and moth-eaten satisfaction pause to consider the relations existing among men . Society has duties as well as rights , and you—the .
unenfranchised—who are denied all participation in practical legislation , have for years prophecied that evils , huge and uncontrollable , would follow in the wake of a policy that preferred a deputed power from a section of the people , rather than a full enfranchisement of the male adult population . You have worked , but do not possess ; you have produced , hut cannot control property . You have obeyed laws , but your wisdomhas not enacted them . You have seen enacted extensive measures of fiscal and commercial change , and your experience tells you , but too sadly , that yonr condition is not improved ; neither have your claims on society lessened ; you have a ri ght to be fed , clad , and housed , in a country professing to be civilised . No party cry or assumed power usurped by the possessor , or granted by others , can alienate or destroy the right of man to a sustenance in the land of his birth .
The House of Commons , as now constituted , either has or has not a power over this state of things . If it has a power , demand of it that that power shall be used remedially , for your benefit ; if it has no power , demand that it yield up its trust , and return once more to society that which a section of the nation unrighteously gave to it . Do you answer—we have no power over the House of Commons , it sits in London , whilst we
reside in Manchester or Yorkshire , in Leicester or Scotland ? Remember , we beg of yon , that the House of Commons is net self-existent—its debating and enacting power is in an old house in Westminster—but the source of its power is among the electors scattered over the face of the empire , and its administrative action exists in every city , borough , and village . Let , then , the non-electors deraand of the electors , of every town and country , that they be fed , clad , and housed ; these are debts
that the electors owe to the non-electors . There is not to be found a horse able or willing to work , tbat is not well fed , housed , and moves about sleek and fat ; and it is not to be borne that man , a being of refined sensibilities , has fewer claims than the meaner races of the earth . Do the electors assure you tbat they can exercise no power for your benefit ? then let them either resign their right to the Suffrage , as an exclusive and sectional fraction , or fulfil the responsibilities co-existing with , and inseparable from the power they possess . But how can you accomplish these objects ?
First . —By extending your sphere of local actioa j where necessary , add to the numbers of your committee , and locally disseminate , by every available means , a knowledge ef your principles—do not teach the doctrines of Chartism as the doctrines of a sect , and only fitted for a section of men , teach them as the universal protection of all men , fitted alike for the security of all classes . The struggle of representation is not a war of those who have not against those who have , it is simply a struggle for a recognition of a great principle—to wit , the right of the majority of the nation to control the government of the country in which they live .
Exercise every available power in the election of the local authorities within the boroughs in which you live ; use yonr influence to secure the return of Char , list representatives to fill offices in the church , highway boards , and in the council chamber ; local government is the mainspring of Mfttioaal government , and to controul it is to regulate administration , and to directly control the functions and functionaries of lav ?! Second . —By having a watchful vigilance over the acts of the representatives of the cities or boroughs in which you reside , acd let every vote given by them be carefully scrutinised , and when necessary the opinions of the -whole people expressed tbereon , and remitted to the deputy representing the electors in the Imperial Legislature . And in all cases , where there is no vote recorded—on important
questionss , public meeting be called forthwith , and from that meeting a committee be appointed to write to the representatives of the electors , asking the reasons of absence , and the electors in all cases to be looked on as responsible to the non-electors for the votes and speeches of their representatives ; and in the event of a general election of members to serve in parliament , that you adopt every means , legitimately at your command , to return to parliament men of sane mind , untainted by crime , aad pledged to vote for , and to propagate a knowledge of , the principles of the People ' s Charter in or out of
parliament . We also would remind yoH that the numbers of our agricultural population are immense , and at present form the reserve army , that are called out on all necessary occasions to fight the battle of faction . The ignorance of our agricultural popula tion is bardly coneievable by those of you who are not practically familiar with the rural districts of BBgland . But every one who has been present at an election in s small country town will bear testimony to the influence exercised by the ignorant labourers , shouting and rejoicing at the success of some candidate for parliamentary favours , and who is elected to support interests diametrically opposed to the weal of the majority of the nation , and to
vote for measures , and enact laws , binding upon all the intelligent asd radically progressive portions of the community . The agricultural labourers have ianumerable grievances , and suffer from a direct social despotism , as tyrannical and burthensome as the ancient usages of feudal vassalage . It is absolutely indispensable that immediate steps be taken to remove this frig htful and hideous state of igno ranee by means of lectures , addresses , tracts , newspapers , &c , so as to force the two great wings of the army of political emancipation to move as one solid mass , and to ruin , now and for ever , the unjust influence exercised by an ignorant squirearchy , and in many cases , an irresponsible magistracy , supported by country bankers , land stewards , auctioneers , and attorneys , over a limited , and relatively

an uninformed number of the electors and non-elec- j tors of the empire . The importance of the agricul- ] tural population to a really national movement canuot be over rated . With its aid and support we are safe in all we may find useful and necessary to do for the advancement of the popular causewithout its SHpport , our success may be protracted , and , m some cases , doubtful . We cannot , in this address , point out all we think necessary for the accomplishment of our object but the first g reat requisite on your part is action ! action ! action !

IRELAND AND THE ; ENGLISH PRESS . GANG .
TO THE WORKING CLASSES , Beothsb Proletarian * , —Time was when I could scarcely find wordB to exprets my diBgust at what I conceived to ba the ignorance of wickedness of Irish speakers and writera in representing England as the national oppressor of Ireland , and the English race the enemy of the Irish people . I had no difficulty in acknowledging the English government the unchangeable scourge of Ireland , but I maintained that the English people , oppressed and misrepresented by that government , were not responsible for the wrongs and sufferings of their Irish brethren . But recent events have considerably modified that view of the Irish queation . The evidences are abundant that hatred , contempt , or indifference , towards the Irish people abound in English society For my part , I can no longer condemn the furious hatred towards ever j thing English , which has , of
late years , inspired the toDgaes and pens of so many able Irishmen . ' The blood will follow where the knife la driven , The fl JBh will qnlrer where tbe pincers tear . ' A . nd it is only natural that English persecution should exoite in Irish breasts a thirst for vengeanco ; that EngliBh calumny Bhould exoite Irian hatred—English Ecorn Irish defiance—and English opprea aion Irish retaliation . Were I an Irish father , I should be tempted , like Hamiloar , to swear my children to lead a _ life of naceasing combat against everything English . My justification would be , the tyrannous and hostile deeds and words of Englishmen . Do I overrate English injustice ? ' Look around !' Behold amongst all classes aud parties , with one ex ception , the damning evidence ? , ' notorious aa the ann at noon-day , ' of English hatred or indifference towards Ireland .
Is there any man lunatio enough to imagine that the English government pr legislature really care for the welfare , or sympathise with tbe Irish people ? If bo , a moment ' s consideration—if he be capable of such an effort of the mind—will at once disabuse him of his error . A string of Cosrcioa Bills , and a series of' Suspensions of the Constitution , ' varied by occasional measures of sbam Reform , thrown as sops to the traders in the sufferings of the masses , constitute the sum total of English legislation for Ireland . la propoiing to the House of Lards the bill for the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , the Marquis of Lansdowne eaid , He was glad to find ttai there were many precedents' for the course he
proposed—that oi passing the bill for ' the Suspension of the Constitution' in the course oi one sitting la the discussion in the House of Commons , on the aame measure , it was stated that the Arms Bill , passed in November last , was the sixty-fifth Coercion Act inflicted upon Ireland . Lastly , when tbe indecent haste with which the Habeas Corpus Suspension BUI was hurried through Parliament , ia contrasted with the refusal oi the Ministry and House of Commons to entertain Mr Sharmas Crawford ' s motioD , declarator ; of tbe necessity of remedial measures for Ireland , it must be evident to every one , that for the Irish people to look for anything like justice from the Imperial Parliament , as at pre sent constituted , would be downright insanity .
As ia the sample , so is the sack . The government and legislature represent the ariatocraoy ef land and money , and the representatives , in their acts and words , rather fall _ short of , than exceed , tbe -vindictiveness entertained towarda Ireland by those they represent . The bowgeoiiie , naturally selfish , ignorant , and cowardly , and , consequently , the friends of' order , ' undar any ciroumatences—who , if Erbest or Nicholas ruled this land , would down on their knees to the said Ernksx or Nicholas—this clasa , throughout ita several sections , rioh and poor , are animated by one feeling of hatred of Ireland . Address them on
the subject , ana yon will find the shspooracy , from tbe dealer in ingots to the vendor of an ounce of snuff—' on 'Change and in the counting-house , at the counter and in the omnibus—br eathing but one sentiment , tbat of vengeance towards Ireland . Their idea of remedial measures' is expressed in Captain Maxwell's 'few tons of gunpowder and coils of rope , ' with which to mow down and hang np the unfortunate people of Ireland and their leaders There are , certainly , a few individual exceptions , who give expression to more just aud humane aentiments , but these white orows are , indeed , ' few and far between . '
And yon , my countrymen of the working classes , are you altogether olameless ? Do you redeem the name of England by your general aud h ? arty sympathy for your oppressed Irish brethren ? I fear no I admit the sympathy of the Chartiat party to a man . I know the earnest desire of my byotherDamoorata to see justice done to long-suffering Ireland . I know that not a few Englishmen would even lay dswn their hveB for Ireland ' s redemption ; sjill I fear that masses of the English working classes are blindly ignorant of the wrongs of Irishmen , and deplorably indifferent to their sufferings . I have no doubt that m Manchester , and eome other manufacturing towns , a great majority of the EngliBh proletarians earnest y desire the freedom and happiness of th 9 ir Irish brethren ; but can the same be said of the working men of other places—Londoa , for instance T I fear not .
The great proof of the hatred or ind . fference of the middle-classes and a large portion of the working classes of England towards Ireland , is to be found in the character of the public joutnalo aupported or tolerated by those classes . The favourite journals of the bourgeoisie , are the Times , Chrobiolb , llBBALD , » nd Dailt Nbwb—one and all the bitter Blunderers and relentless enemiea of the Irian people . The gham-Ra ^ dical Mobnikq Advertser and Sum are equally &ati-Irish . These papers are the oracles of pot-house and oofff e-room politicians chiefly belonging to the working 0188868 . Of the weekly papers , the Spectator , Examinbb . Atlas , Jobs Boll , Britannia , &c , are read principally by the ' upper' and middle classes . The readere of the Dispatch , Suwbat Times , Bkil ' h Life , Douglis Jbrrold , &o ., &i ., belong to the middle and working olasses . Below these are the cheap Greenacre-journala , read almost exclusively by working men . All thes ?; weekl y aewipaperfc whstbc

calling themselves Whig . Tory , or Radioal , vie with the Iimbs , Hbrald and Chronicle in their abuse and misrepresentation of the Irish people . ,, i ™ O L m , atterfor Ta « nn that of all the ? 7 n , rnl PUbU l edin , En ? laad . tins journal ia , as iZ nLl n r ? * ? cly one that ' in ai > d out of scaaon , under-all circumstances , steadily advocates the Northern Stas . It ia a matter rather for crief than exaltation . Would that every joarnal-e | eci aUy every journal read b y the working ola \ Sahared the sentiments of this paper in relation to Ire and . Were that the caae . the cruel oppression of Ireland by her own and by the Englbh ariatocraoy , would be speedily brought to & olose .
The atrocious conduct of the Preaa-gang at this orisi ' , demands from me a few words of comment . From the liafe of traffickers in class prejudice and popnlar ignorance , I shall select two or three , and commence with the Tiues . The Puddledock Thunderer asserts , that 'the Enginh are generally aware' that ' every hard-working man in this country carries a whole IriBh family on hig Bhouldew . ' This U advanced by the Times as a reason why the English working men should feel no sympathy for the Irish millions . Without nonrdiacussing the aaaertion of the Timbb . but taking the truth thereof for granted , I shall venture to tell the Thunderer , that every sensible hard working Englishman is aware of two other things : —1 st—That Irish pauperism is caused by English miggovernment and class usurpation : and 2 nd—That English poverty
is mainly the consequenee ef labour having to carry on its shoulders the brawny carcase of idle , laxurioua , plundering Privilege . Here are three hideous lies of the Times : —1 st That the eight M . P . ' s who voted against the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus repreaent Bothing bat torbulenoe and discontent . ' A pretty complim ept to pay to the constituencies of Rochdale and Nottingham ! Yyhat doea ¦ Mastee Waltbb' repre-?? n « L ? ' ^ 7 * 11 Iri 8 h RebBls , ' Bay 8 thaTniEB , iDBinuate that the prospect of pillage for two hours or two days is amongst their chief iaceatives to action . In support of this aaaertion , the Tuieb imputes to the Irish loaders the idea ot acomprehensive agrarian . law . ' Such a lawsu not pillaco
pposea , but the restoration ( to the people ) of stolen pra ^ perty ( on the part of the landlords ) . The third lie is partiinlarly rich :- ' The subjeots of this realm . ' aays the Times , feel that they are thoroughly their ownmaateH , and are under no ocoaaion te tremble at a nod , to Humour % caprice , or fear a revenge . Their houses are tieir castles , their minds , to them , are kingdoma , and their language as free as the air whioa conveys it . ' Bravo ! This bangs Banuagher Soarcely a day passes that houseB are not broken into ( in England and Sootland , to say nothing of Ireland ) , and the lord of the ' castle' dragged to prison for the crime of speakine ' Ma mind' in Ian .
fjuage' not quite ao 'free' as ' the air ; ' and it is notorious that no honest man oan now walk the streets of our towns , without being dodged by a ' detective , ' or having his words noted down by a spy , Happy subjects ! ' Merry England ! ' A suppressed rebellion , ' says the Times of this day , justifies and compels a eomawhat stronger aad sterner polioy than that which befitted the mere brooding of the storm . ' On this basis the Times argues lor trying tbe prisoners by martial law , and continuing Ireland in a state of seige . These Banguinary promptings attest tho truculent sentiments of the commercial classes .
The Morning Herald take 3 credit to itself for having six months ago , laboured ta induce the go . vernment to rule Ireland by martial law , which , according te the Hebald , is the very best law in the world to govern the mob . The Herald argues , that had its advice been taken , when it recommended the shooting of ' half-a-dozen agrarian plunderers and murderers by drum-head court martial , in the month of November laBt , ' there would have been no rebellion at this time : bow , however , that rebellion baa oame , the Hbhald demands , the ' biyonet charge , ' and the * rakinr , well directed fire of
mugketry or artillery , * to dispel the errors of the disaffected . The Herald likens the Irish peasantry to rand dogs , or mad bullB , whom it is necessary to strike down , or shoot at once . ' Oh ! ' ories the Hbrald , ' for one hour of our straightforward and illustrious Duke ta set this empire to rights . ' ' France , ' argues the Herald , ' is ruled by a soldier —Cavaigaao . Spain is ruled by a eoldier—Namez : aad shall not Great Britain and Ireland owe their sifety to the greatest of greab soldiers—Wellington ? ' Up , then , ' saya the Hbrald , ' for our Qaeen , for a united empire , and a strong government , to put down traitors and rebels at home and abroad !'
I hope , my friends , that you will feel grateful to the Hbrald for the ' strong government' provided for you by that generous joqrnal , when I tell you that its list includes in additien to the Duke , such wise , honest , and liberal statesmen , as Lord Stanley , Lird Lvndhurat , Lord Ellenborongh , Lord George Bentinck , the Duke of Richmond , Sir Robert Inglis , Lord Chief Justice Blackburn ( Ireland ) , Major Berecord , Messrs Miles , Newdocato , Spooner , snd la-it , not least , your old favourite , tho consistent and tender-hearted Lord Brougham !
It is eaoagh to say tbat the Daily News , Globe , Advbbtissr , and Svs , fulminate against the Irish in the spirit of the Tjmbs . The Sun and Advbr-TiaBBhavo long made political capital out of Irish grivances , yet they are now amougat the foremost in calling for a war of extermination against the Irish people , and the utter abrogation of the last remains of Irish freedom . The total extinction ef the right of public association , and the complete disarmament of the masses , are amongst tho remedies for Irish disaffection demanded by thesejournals ,
The Standard , after imparting the original intelligence tbat ' Chartism was strangled at once and for ever , by the noble demonstration of the 10 th of April , '{ nsists that— 'all money collecting leagues and political clubs ought to be prohibited in all parts of the United Kingdom . ' The Standard then argues that this is the time for a thorough revisal ot the whole system of Irish policy , by the restoration ot Pbotbstaht Aecbndaicy—that is , the restoration of the system under which to be a Roman Catholic was to be the plundered , persecuted , hunted viotimof Orange bloodhounds , with no voice in the legislature , and co rights , social or political . The revival of the bloody times ot the Penal Laws , will alone satisfy the p ' oaa loagiDgs of the panon-pettec ! Standard !
The forcible suppression of the Nation and Irish Felon , aad the wantoa destructioa of the property of both journals , to , 'ether with the comtemptibls but cruel persecution ot the preaa men and printers of those papers , and the poor creatures who sold them in the s ' . reets , has not called forth one word of remonstance or condemnation on the part of any one of the daily journals . Imagine tup out ' burst of virtuous indignation with which the Times , Chronicle , Sun , &o ., would have greeted such an act , if performed by order of Nioholas , instead of Lord Clarendon , and iu Warsaw instead of the
capital of' the Poland of the West . ' No onecoald be surprised at these joarnnls hounding on the government to pursue Smith O'Brion and his followers with fire and sword , but they might have abstained from the lies aud calumnies , with which they have laboured to destroy their victim ' s character , and heap o lium and contempt upon liia Dame . Brave men ore generous , even when combating personally against their enemies ; but these hireling wretches of the preBB gang , who lie became they are paid for lying , are utterly destitute of every Bentiraent of manly gcnero 3 » ty , and regard for truth and fair , play .
Tbe ferocious denunciations of Ireland and Irishmen , every week gracing the ooltiaiss of the Dispatch and Sunday Times , are too well known to require further notice . Bell ' s Lifb , the Weekly CnRomcLK , John BuLL . the Atlas , and Spbctatob , are celebrated for similar anti-Irish sentiments . The atrocious writings of the placemen of the Whig Examiner have several times been brought undsr the notice of the readers of this journal . The laat namber ot the Britannia was most ferociously anti >
Irish . The sentimental sham-r , adical writers of Douglas Jerrold ' s Newspapbb , 39 celebrated for ' hear - strings' of moat delicate toxcare , avow , in their paper of Saturday last , their admiration ot the ' wiaa and just polioj' pursued by the government and Parliament , in suspending the Habeas Corpus Act , for the purpose of owning the ' rebels . ' Tory , Whig , and Liberal , Sham-Radica ' , Philo 8 ophio . 'l » Ridioal , and Sentimental-Radical—the gentry of the Presa-gang are all alike , all tarred with the same stick . Oh for a scourge 1 To lash tho rascals naked through tbe world !' G . JULIAN HARNEY . August 3 rd , 1848 .

This day , Mr Patriok O'Higgins , a Confederate and agent of the English Ch&rtiBts , was arrested . On the premises occupied by him ware found a large quantity of arms , and other munitions of war ; amongst which were 360 gun stock ? , a double-barrelled gun ( loaded with ball ) , a single-barrelled gun , a sword , and a pike—the latter was a na 6 st formidable weapon , the shaft being nine feet six inchea long , mounted with a steel blade , exceeding two feet in length , furnished with an axe and hook .

Dublin , July 27 . —Lord Clarendon has lost no time in availing himself of the stringent means now at his disposal for the repression of treason and inaurreo * tion . Before break of dawn this morning tke whole force of metropolitan police was in motion , and a general search was commenced is all auBpeoted quarters for arms and ammunition . Tho club-rooma were the first object ? of this sumiilance ; but as fat as I can learn the police were not very successful La their efforts to detect either arms or documents of a dansrerouB tendency .
Mr Patriok O'Higgins , the leader of the Dublin Chartists , was arrested this morning under the new act , while proceeding to his office in North Anneatreot . Hia houae was subsequently searched by the police , and a vast quantity of gun-stocks were found upon the premises , together with aspkndid ' y finished pike . They were lodged in the Castle . In justice to Mr O'Higgins , it should be stated that the gunstocks were purchased in England , nearly three years ago , on a purely mercantile speculation , and with a view of supplying tke constabulary ; since that time
they have lain on his bands a dead weight . The possession of the pike , however , iB not so satisfactorily accounted for . Mr O'Higgms was lodged in Kilmain ° ham Gaol on a charge of treason . A person earned Flaitfgan , a noted pike-maker , has alBO been arrested . In hiB house were found swords and cutlasses . In the houses of other bus * pected parties were found various weapons ef war * ( are , as well as bullet moulds , wadding , and ammunition , and also doouments showing the connexion of the parties with the clubs .
Several blacksmiths have been arrested for making pikes , and other parties for having them in their dwellings , together with ammunition . One of the Cork papers states that it is understood that 6 000 pike heads had been introduced into that city from Sheffield . ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) Clonmel , Jolt 25 . « -The cannon which are placed on the top of Cane ? Castle were fired yesterday w veral timea for ' practice , under the direction of the authorities . Within the last two days CloEtnel has beem filled with the most alarming rumours . Yesterday it was reported tbat the clubs were to assemble at the Mile Tree , near the tows , and to make a sudden irruption into it when darkness favoured them . At noon to-day an express constable arrived ,
from Cashel , it was said with information of an out * break there ; we doubt , however , its correctness The most painful anxiety ia awakened for to-night , as the general feeling is tbat an insuireotion , with all its horrors , is at hand , and may commence beibie we see the light of another day . The police have removed from the barracks ia the Irishtown , and taken possesaien of the West Gate . Military are to occupy the Main Guard , and no doubt every precaution will be made for the protection of the town , and the security of its peaceable inhabitants . It is further eaid , that one of the lenders spent last night at Taorneybridge , in the neighbourhood of Slievenamoni and that the Carrick-on-Suir corps are in readmega to join in the onslaught . ( From the Waterford Chronicle )
Watbbp 3 bd , Jdls 28 . —Soldiers are marching , countermarching , bugles are Bounding , rumours are flying through town of the most exciting nature , de ° Bpatches are arriving every hour or two . No less than twenty-five families from this neighbourhood ieft yesterday in the Roae steamer for Bristol . Fami . lies are leaving Carriuk—and the other towns in this neighbourhood—very quickly . It has been reported about town to-day that Borne of the most extensive establishments in this city are about stopping wotk , and that all the hands will be discharged . If so , ifi will entail ruin on the poor families of the artisans . In Carrick the people are terribly excited , there is nothing spoken of but war , the armament is pro * greasing very rapidly . There can no longer be a doubt about it , the people will fight , and no mistake . But the awful danger lies in tho desertion of the people by their leaders . If so , the consequence * will be fearful , but . on the other hand , should the men who
now assume the leadership ooatinue faithful to the people , and lead them with proper judgment through the oampaign now opening , we would bo very little surprised to see & Republican government sitting in Dublin before many weeks . We have just heard tbat Mr O'Brien informed the people in Carrick , on Monday night , 'If the government attempted to arrest him , they would have hia lifeless corpse to take . ' Mr Meagher is reported to have said— ' The assistance of the people might bo cal . ' ed into requisition in a couple oi hours , provided the authorities attempted to arrest him . ' Yesterday another party of the Buffs were sent from on board the Rhadamanthus , and were aUnoe despatched for Carriok-on-Suir . We understand the whole force oonoentrated ia and about Carriok now numbers over 1 . 500 men . There are over 15 , 000 pikeraen fully accoutred in the Bame neighbourhood .
Yesterday we noticed a great number of idle men walking about the city , and on inquiry we found that they were persons belonging to the Dablin detective force . The Dragon steamer has juat arrived with a regiment of Highlanders for this city . To-day the walls oi tho city are placarded wua proclamation * , calling on the people to deliver np their arms into the nearest police barrack .
