" Hr r . O'Cokkoi . —Sir , as this report only enters in : o one t--2 ch of tha subject , perhaps the hou » e will indnlge tie wnlle Isij a few werdi on that tubjact sUo—Imest ; th ? financial department of the Katieaal Lind Camj - .-jy . There were two questions subilttedto the coma ; ' tee ; tae ons was to inquire into the expenditure of th ; & .: u ' t 2 B of tea CospiDy . and tbe oiber at to the pracficibiiiy ? or Jmprscrtcabilily cf the pl&o . It having bees cirrdiited , not in one newspaper , but in nearly eTery -eTspsperiu the ceuBtry , that I had established ibiM i ' . ta for my owa benefit , and that improper accobs ' . t vere for that object kept , I beg now to appeal to tBOte '¦¦ ¦ z-a . gentlemen who were on the committee—and wpccisul ; to tUs cbairmau of that committee—end to a k tbsni , first , whether every facility which they thought neotSiMi for tbe inveEtigatian and fair hearing of the
* hole ? = fiwas not given to them ! But I cannot , sir , notwUtf ' andlng that the regolntlons ate sxesedinglj f » . T 0 an . Ke to me as far as the expendltnre of the monies of tb-. Company is concerned—I cannot , I say , allow it to go :- " -i to the world that tho » e working men , who gCted scJer my di ^ ctions , bav « hRd ogiun cast upon t&eff l I ; appjari wiat the fourtn resoluUon nates that « nly -. srct balance sheets were presented to the comaltte :, wi-. a the name * ef the auditors attached ; but it « fc 9 ttl i ^^ understood that thoie balacce 6 heets included an ei : ; .

tame time , that although those musing balsnoa skeoti wsra not in exlitenoe , yet the books of the previous iscretary , from which the balance sheets were taken , were presented to tbe accountant . I should elso state , in reference to thesa two balance sheets , that the accountant examines every item with the vouchers ; and he took tb « labour book which is kept at the office ; and although that book contained accounts to the estent of £ i 9 , 00 Q , yet there was noS two shillings difference between the ftCWmnts I furnished and the accounts In the books . Hereafter the general question will come on , when I shaU be able to go further Jnto the subjeot . I now , air , beg to refer to tbe ton . gentleman , the chairman of the commlttes as to the manner ia which the inquiry tras contacted . And , in conclusion , I may be allowed to state that theso resolutions were adopted by the committee Hnauimously .
Sir O . Hai 5 E&—P . rhaps I may bs permitted t » say that I bear my most willing testimony to the accuracy ef what the honourable and learned gentleman has stated , I am desirous to admit that every facility wai given to the committee for the investigation of the whole of tbe acrounts and matters relating to this Company . Every officer that wa cal ed for was at once produced . The accounts are rigidly investlgaedb ; an accountant , who was appointed by mjself at the Buggestion of the committee ; and the result was that which the honourable tni learned gentleman has stated to the house . Undoubtedly the accounts were kept—I will not ^ enter into the reiton why they were so Kept—la an extremely irregalir
manner . [ Mr O'Cokkob . —Certainly . ] I believe that tbe result at which the accountant arrived was as much a matter ofsmrpriie to tbe hoa . gentleman as it was to any member of the cemmlttee . It was a matter of surprise to me . Every facility was afforded by tbe Company to the committee for tbe purpose ef examining into the matter , and I must alio bBar my testimony to the fact that the resolution ! were came to unanimously on the part of tbe committee . I decline entering into the general question at present , but I shall be perfectly ready to do so at the proper time , wken tbe evidenco taken before the committee shall have been laid before the houBj .
Sir Benjamin Hail : Having originally suggested to the honourable sad learned gentleman that a oomiaittee should be appointed for the purpose of inquiring into this soheme , and having attended daring the sitting of the committee , I with to offcr a few observations in reference to what has fallen from the honourable end learaed geatleman and the ohalrman of the committee . I perfectly agree with them tkat every faollity was given to the members of the committee to investigate the affairs of the Company ; but at the same time , I oannot conceal from myself , this fact , that tbe whole of the
original accounts , as stated to have been audited by Mr Coffay and Mr Knight , the auditors of tJw Ctnpany , with tbe exception of the aocoTOts for the quarter ending September last , December last , and Kerch last , have been destroyed . They were not forthcoming ; although I admit that , according to ths data whloh were placed before ths accountant nominated by the committee , and whose appointment was acquiesced in by the tiea geatlenas ( Hr O'Connor ) , thtre c ' oe * appear to be a balance due io the honourable and learned gentleman of £ 3 200 froia tae C . rapany , Mr F , O'Cokkob : £ 3 , 400 .
Sir Besjihin Hall : One makes £ 3 , 400 , and the other £ 3 , 2 U 0 , but that is a matter of no importance . There is a balance . Now , I think it would have been much more satisfactory to me if the original accounts , as audited by the auditors of the Company , had been foFthcaming . But as regards the practicability or impracticability of ths scheme , I thlak It is not desirable to enter into { that question at present . Ths hon . geatlctnoB ( Mr O'Connor ) would probably bring forward a measure to carry out tbe objects of the promoters of the Company . It will be in his recollection that on the l » : h of March I pat a question to htm , whether I was to distinctly understand the honourable and learned gentleman that if the biil then brought in should not pass , Mb intended to procaed to the complete registration of the Carapany , and the honourable and learned gentleman answered that it was his determination , if
the bill did not pass at once , to obtain complete registratien ef the Company . Now I hardly think he will be able to carry out that promise . I would therefore ask him * hat coaras he intends to take with re gard to registration ef the Company t There if another question I wish to put to the honourable gentleman . He will recollect that the fea-Bimple of all t&e property purchased with the funds of the Company ia vested exclusively in his name . All tbe property ii assigned to Mm . self and bis heirs , and so other person has any pawer with reference to that property . The questions , then , I have to ask the hon . member arc , what he intends to do with regard to complete registration of tke Company ? and whether he proposes to make over the estates which are now vested in his name to those persons who , usder tlio rules of lie Company , Have received allotments , bat for which allotments they have at present no title f
Mr O'CjRhob : Tbe honourable baronet , Sir , his gone more extensively into the question than I Intended . If he had read the resolution ho would have found an answer to his question , because it is there left to tbe promoters of the society to consider whether or no they will wind up tbe affairs of the society , or whether tbey will spp ' j for an extension of peweri from Parllamsnt . Ac I have not had tlma to consult anj one , and It having been recommended by the committee that a me * t . in ? of the thereaolder * should be held for tke purpose o { their beta j censulted . I io thick It is rather hard that tbe honourable baronet should BBk me to decide , where 70 , 000 are to have a voice In tbe matter . With regard to the conveyances to those persons who have obtained allotments , It is rather strange that the honourable baronet who attended the committee should have
sa soon forgotten that I stated I was ready to transfer the property now rested in me and cry quits , making the Company & present of my £ 3 , 400 , aaj that I was prepared to act upon the suggestion of the committee , whatever it might be . I must say the honourablebaroaet has tried to confuse the accounts asmuohas possible . Ths Sphkeb here observed that , as there was no question before the house , the hon . gentleman could not make any statement . Hr Hattek thea moved that the report be printed .
Mr F . O'Cohkoe proceeded to say that the honourable baronet had endeavoured tocenfuse the accounts ot the financial secretary of the company with his ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) own aooouuts . The accounts for which tho balance Bbeets were not presented amouited to about £ 3 , 000 . Tbe amount for which he ( Mr O'Connor ) was responsible was about £ 109 , 000 ; au $ the accountant declared before the committee that , after going over tbs balance sheets with the original documents , there was not a difference of two shillings between the printed documents and tno original balssoo sheets . His ( Mr
O'Connor ' s ) balance sheetSi however , were never signed by eny auditors . Resolutions were signed by auditors approvicg of the vouchers and accounts laid before them , bat the balance sheets themse'vea were not signed by any auditors . He might add , that he hod furnished the accountant with vouchers for every item down to 2 « . ed . He hoped that , although the honourable ba . ronet ( SirB . Hall ) might eideavour to ba critical , he would not seek to give a false colouring to the evidence which was in print , and which every member of tbe honsBeonlA read for himself . When that hasonrab ' . e
baronet promised a searching and rigid inquiry into the accounts of the company , he ( Sir B . Hall ) was not pro pared for the result which bad been arrived a * . He ( Mr O'Connor ) begged to remind tbs honoorsbls bsronet of the d'fferent course he h&d adopted to that whiob the bOBonraile baronet had pursued towards him . H «( Mr O'Connor ) had received several letters from Wales , which he forwarded to the honourable baronet , informing him at the same tiae of his intention to put to him three questions , as to the management , of a public fond , and of his ottq property ; but be ( Mr O'C . ) had abstained from bringing the subjeot befors the bouse , as be knew t&e honourable baronet was rather tender on ths point . He ( Mr O'Connor ) oould assure the honourable baronet that he was not tender on the subject af tbe Land Company . He would reosramend the honourable baronet in future , when he brought forward any question of this bind , to confiae himself to the evidence , and to abandon the profession , welch as eeetned to have adopted , of general prosecutor in that
house . After a short conversation between Mr Boovjsbib , Hr Hatte * , and Sir B , Balk ( with refereuoo to tbe opinions of Mr Finlayson , the accountant ) , which was in . adible in the gallery , Hr Q . THosPiOH said , be felt bound to state that while it was . the nnaniinfm ? conviction of the earnmlt-. ro that but a very insignificant portion of the subscribers weuld , within any reasonable time , become passessed of allotments , jet that throughout the waele courio of the investigation no complaint had been
prefered by any one of the seventy thousand shareholders , Bor bad any expreision of disappointment proceeded from any quarter with regard to the manner In which tbe allotments had been made . He might also add , that no imputation had bsea thrown npon the motivee oi the promoters of the campeny ; and as to the practicability or impracticability ef the plan , Mr Finlsyson ' s evidence distinctly asserted t&at tbe plan , if legalised , would be perfectly practicable . The report was then ordered to be printed . The Liw or Mabbuqes , — In answer to Sir R . H .
Iholis , Mr S . WosTtitT laid that he was In hopes that be would bs enabled to bring in Ms bill oa this subject at an early hour en Wednesday , Mr GouLBDiv made a& observation , after which Mr S . Wobtlit said that he thought it very desirable that the people of this coontrj should be ia possession of the fact that there was an intuition to propose an alteration In t&e law respecting marriagea which would have a retrospective 8 s well as a prospective tBect . Hr Labouchebe intimated that it was his intention to bring in two bills for the purpose of prohibiting the importation of cattle when dlfoaeed .
Mr S . WoiTXET ealled tbe attention of the house to the petition of Mr W . R . S . Fitzqibald , the mambcr for Hor < asm , complaining of on irregularity in taking the r * oognliances on the petition against hia return , and moved that the consideration of all the election petitions be postponed until next session ; but after a statement from tbe Attorney-general , and aome observations from otber honourable members , the motion was withdrawn . Chcrch TEKroiixmEi .--l $ x Hoiutiu thin moved that a humble address be presented to he * Majesty praying that she will be pleased to tefee , into her cosst '

deration the whole condition of the Established Church as regard ! its temporalities { tbaiaho nil ! direct sn laquiry to bs mads Into the full value of all Church property under lease , and cause such measures to ba pro * pared as may make the revenues of the Church more full ; conduces to tha religions teaching ef the people . The honourable gentleman , in the coarse ef bis arguments , confined himself altogether to tfee temporalities of tha Church , as it was with that branch of eur ecolesiasilc&l establishment that Parliament could most easily deal . Ba believed the revenues of tbe Church amounted to a sum not leas than £ 5 , 000 , 000 per annum ; but although this sum was larger than that of any other Church in Europe , it was nevertheless tbe opinion of many people that it fiat not sufficient for tbe
maintenance of the clergy . Considering how largely the Church was endowed , he thought It was ia a most Inefficient oondition . He believed that in no other religion could there be found such opposites of sasl nnd Indifference , learning and Ignorance , piety and heathenism , as in tbe Protestant . This might be setn by the publications of benevelent societies , and by many other channels and sources . The evil had certainly been remedied 1 b part by previous legislation , and tbe Church had been recently railed into a degree of popularity and efficiency hitherto unknown ; buttbat great change oould not ba oarried out unlsss they themselves took some measures to put the machinery by which the system was carried on Into batur cosditlen . The hon . gentleman entered
ioto a variety of statistics on the subject , end then procsedod to observe that his former mations en the subject had received tbe cordial assent of tbe house , which seemed to feel tkat the view he took of the subject was the just one . If , therefore , thoao mottOQB wero heo from objection , lie felt confident his present one coold be still less objected to . There never was a period when tbo Ecclesiastical Bjettm excited a warmer feeling throughout the country , or when tho houses of Parliament were mere united on the subjeet . He hoped , therefore , the government would consent to this inqulry , with the view of forming a comprehensive sjatem of legislation on tbe subjeot . Sir E . BniTON seconded the motion .
Lord J . Russell said that the proposition of the hon . gentleman was certainly one north ; of consideration , but at the same -time it was encumbered with so many difficulties of a practlo&l nature that they ought to be fully considered before the introduction of any measure on the tabject . He thought the main preposition cf Mr Horjman well founded—that it was to the increased value of Church property they should look for tbe improvement of the incomes of the clergy and for the increass of spiritial instruction . With respect , however , to the immediate motion of the hon . gentleman , he did not think it would be advisable for tbe house to prtseat an address to her Majesty requesting her Ha .
josty to direct sn lnqalry to be made into the full value of all the Chorea property under least ; although ho shauld be quite rondy to adopt sach measures as would ba likely to give a proximate estimate of the fall value of such property , Oa a farmer occasion certain bishops and dignitaries bad refused to give any return as to the fall value of the church property boloaglug to them , aad he did not think tbe Crown ought to be placed in the unbecoming position of receiving a refusal frem the bishops and dignitaries , having no power of enforcing the necessary inquiries . He hoped , therefore , tho hon gentleman would be satisfied with his insurance that ha wnnld ennoider the means
by which sn inquiry could be made , and that he was entirely of opinion that the propsrty of the Church should ba mado more available for tbo purposes of tho Church than it was at present . Sir R . 1 * 01 , 18 said , the concession of the noble lord might well satisfy a more ambitious mind than that of the hon . zaembar for Cockermoutb . He admitted the spiritual destitution of some portions ef the metropolis , but it was the duty of Parliament ta remedy that evil without resorting to other than legitimate sources for tbe means . Aft r a discuision , in which He W . P . Wood , Mr Gontuuitf , aBd Mr Fseweh took part , Mr Hobbmah yielded to the suggettien ef the noble lord , and the motion was withdrawn , Mr Ubqub * bt bsTing postponed bis notice for compensation to tbe family of the late Lieutenant .

Smith O'Brien , Esq ., M-P-, tor the purpose of making a search for papers , &o . It appear * that , acting on false
information , which is now spread far and . wide for an obvious purpose , erderaweregivenfroni headquarters to make the search ; and that it was industriously prosecuted , there cannot be a second opinion . Every room in the house wasolosely searched—every box openedevery escrutoire examined—every nook and corner explored ; but it is almost unnecessary to add that sothiog on earth was discovered that could throw the slightest light on tbe authorities , further than they have been already informed . None of the Cahermojlc family were at home .

IMMEHSE SEIZURE OF FIEES AND AMMUNITION .

—HORRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE POLIOS—THB POTATO CROP—IKUTIUTT OF THIS ARMS BILL . ( From our own Correspondent . ) Dublin , August 1 st . I delayed my letter until " thia day , hoping to have something authentio , or , perhaps , something final , from the south to communicate . I am disappointed . I am as muoh ia the dark as I was on last Saturday , nnd the reports from the ' seat of war' are meagre , contradictory , and unsatisfactory . At one time wo hear that Smith O'Brien is insane , and asking his followers to carry him to tho next lunatic aiylum . The same report baa it that J . B . Dillon is frigh > fully wounded in & scuffla with the police at Balliccarry ; that T . F Meagher is lurking in some of the
caverns in the Slieveardagh collieries in the county Tipperary ; and that O'Gorman , M'Ghee , and others of the leaders Of the movement , have taken tbeir departure for foreign countries . By and by we are told that , io far from Smith O'Brien being a discomfitted and despairing madman , he is at the head of a numerous and well-armed body of men ; armed himself like a guerrilla chief , dressed in a splendid military costume of green and gold , and only awaiting the attack by his enemy to commence the bloody onslaught on the Saxon . Which of these reports to believe , pozzies tbe people of Dublin . They have no accurate information , and all is doubt , uncertainty , and impatience . It is certain tbat the Dublin newspapers , and particularly those who profess
Liberal opinions , are suppressing the sews which reaches them—giving only what ia meHely Calculated to dlBpirit the people , and allay excitement . This may , in tbeir opinion , be a wise policy , but certainly it is not fair dealing with the public , nod particularly with the supporters and subacribsn of thoae newspapers . Ik ia oaid that the Castle functionaries have gone ths rounds of the still-existing Dublin newspaper offices , and issued strict commands against their circulating any matter , whether editorial or communicated , which might prejudice the government er inspirit the disaffected . This the Freeman ' s Journal of this morning < indignantly denies ; but be the matter aa it may , it ia certain that the people are enraged beyond measure &t the
manner in which the metropolitan papers are being conducted in these exciting times . _ Making all due allowances for the critical position in which proprietors and editors of popular journals are situated , wo still would expect better from them tban what they give up . They do very well indeed to shun that vortex , and steer wide of those craga whiehhave already shattered every journal of any value in Dublin , but we expected that they would not pour forth their abuse on the brave fellows whoara playing the game of life and death with the government , and whose only fault is that they loved Ireland too well , and appear to have miscalculated on the virtues , and valour , end spirit of their countrymen . And yet thoao craven wretches are acting in the very way
which I describe . They seem to enjoy the failure of the Confederates , and look very muoh like the asa . who in the fablo . amusei himself kicking at the dead lion . We hope , however , that we shall not beloug without » good , manly-toned journal ; and certainly , any raan of influence , and having capital and spirit , would succeed admirably with & popular weekly , or oven daily aewsp&per , in Dublin . I have s&id just bow , that we , in this city , have DO . autbentic intelligence from the south of Ireland . For all we know , we Bra treading ob the verge of a volcano , or the spirit of the people is crushed and paralysed . It is certain , at all eveats , that the government is terribly alarmed , and do not look on their situation as complacently as some would fain
represent . Every tide brings us a regiment or two from England , and they are soaroely permitted to oat a meal of food or brash their jackets , ere tbey are packed ( ff on the railway to the south of Ireland . Two-thirds of the military in garrison here all the summer , are gone too ; and mure is said to be preparing for moving thia evening . In the three counties of Kilkenny , Waterford , and Tipperary , there are new upwards of sixteen thousand soldiers , besides several thousand policementhere being ten thousand of that number concentrated about the Tipperary mountains , where report sajs O'Brien aad his handful of pikemen are wondering up and down . If this statement be true ,
does it not look very strange tbat they do not make a bold dash at the outlawed chief , and let some body or bodies finger the fire hundred gold pieces offered by proclamation for bis arrest ? In my opinion O'Brien is not as defenceless or forsaken as they report . Some say he has not S 0 O men witk him ; if this be true , how is it that 10 , 000 disciplined troops » re cowed and kept at bay by 300 starving yebeh ! It is exte&erdi « nary , indeed . It is certain that up to Monday ( yesterday ) at noon , he was at large , and how it is that in bis reported defenceless state , he is Buffered to sfemain so , is tho sre&t nnasle . Another day Of two , however , must solve the mystery ; but at this moment no man iu Dablin is in possession of anything like satisfactory or conclusive information .
I have to inform the conductors of the Northern Stab that their labours for Ireland are well-knowu and ap preciated , and tbat tbeir journal will soon be one of the most popular in this kingdom . It is inquired for now by hundreds who a short time ago were ignorant of its existence , and Feargus O'Connor bids fair to be the great favourite of tbe Irish people . I hear thousands speaking of him every day , and wishing they had him in Dublin to lead that great party which will ba in OPPOSITION to the O'Connells . If Feargus O'Connor could now give up England and the English people , he would lead Ireland from tbo Gangway to Cape Clear .
Many are inveighing against the people of Dablin , and against the Dublin Confederate Clubs in particular . Tbey accuse them of cowardice , and of shrinking from a conflict which they had courted and tried to provoke . This is wrong and unfair . I know the Dublin men well . When the day of trial came , those who professed to lead the public mind fled from the city , and left the eluba without couaael , guide , or instruction . What , then , could those clubs do ? 'Ihere was nobody to say , ' Out boys—follow ma . ' Had any man ot known courage and braver j issued this appeal , it would have been responded to , and Dublin before thia would have strange stories to relate , and etrango items to add to her historical annals . The Dublin
man are pot cowards . I know there are a few fat Corporation blockheads , a few hundred huokstersand dairymen , and perhaps a couple of thousand old fellows-brainleBS , ignorant , and oiwardly—who still cling to the disgraced and ruined O'Connell faction ; but , believe mo , the bone and sinew , the youn ? , intelligent , and high-minded men of Dublin are as bravo as any on God ' s earth . Let nobody then dare to say that the Dublin men are traitors or cowards . You will see the faota eonneoted with tho attack on the NAnpN > nd the Fblon offices on last Friday , and the tyrannical suppression ot thoso journals . They did not appear on Saturday . The Fklos was in type ready to go to press , and tho Natibh impression for the wetk W 8 S nearly worked off . when the ifrtio was

made , and every atom belonging to the papers sad printing coaoera * carried awayto tbe Castla . Evan the Pennt Ibibhmah , and toe Nationai . Gpard—another excellent penny publication—havo been suppressed , and tbeir proprietors and editors are fled from Dub lin . Shaw , of Bftcbelor ' s-walk , I believe , waa the owner of the Irishman , and John M'Cormick , of Christchuroh-plaoe , was proprietor of tho Natioual Guard—Mr O'CalJ » £ h » n , the author of . The Green Boek , ' being , as I am informed , the editor . I hear that all these gentlemen have left town .
I was leoking at the attack on the Fiv > n office on Friday evening . When I came up there was a small group before the door , from whom I learned that ft party of police had entered , and proceeded to search the premises fit was supposed ) for arms . Immediately afterwards , two covered oara , laden with ' detectives , ' with pick-axes and shovels , drove up . They entered tbe office immediately , and commenced operations . Every nook and cranny was ransacked —the boards tors from the joists—the cellars and ground floor dag up with spades , and disfigured with crow-bars—yet there w&snot a single pike , or pistol .
or bullet found . After continuing the search for about five hours , a large trnok , or float , was brought up , on which the press and printing materials of the concern were piled—much valued type being destroyed during its removal by the ignorant and rude policemen . An immense has crowd hy this time collected ; bu was kept at a safe distance from the captured property by a cordon of about fifty policemen , with drawn outlasses . Subsequently the whole was conveyed into the Lower Castle Yard , where it lies in the ^ keepJDg of government at present .
The police are acting in the most ruffianly and arbitrary manner . They are now armed with cutlasses , and their insolence knows no limits . The people are almost distracted . Most of them being of the dregs of the peasant population , too lazy to work , and having no means of subsistence bu 6 their police wages , they make no scrup le in performing any outrage whioh may gain them favour with their masters . I saw them this day drmng away the people from reading the placards giving a synopsis oftba contents of the morning papers , and vhich were hung at the doors of the news-rooms . On yesterday several men ( and some highly respectable
gentlemen amongst the number , ) were carried before the polije courts for the crime of reading those placards . I saw at one room in Dame-street the police acting in the most overbearing manner . Not a man dared stop to look on those obnoxious plaoards . The footway must not ba crowded , nor the publio progress be impeded ! And yet , on the opposite side of the street , exaotly fronting that reading room , was posted up the , Vice-regal proclamations , offering Saxon gold fer the arrest of the Irish leaders !—and , will it be accredited ? two hundred persons were , at the same moment , reading those proclamations , without impediment or hindrance , or annoyance .
Nobody can guess how events may terminate . A word—a shot—any trifle light as air , ' may set the kingdom in a blaze of rebellion . And it may end id a bottle of smoke , after all . If O'Brien and his iel low-outlaws be taken , they will swing from the scaffold at Newgate ; of this aobody doubts . There ia no hope that Duff / , Martin , and the rest , will have ft fair trial , and , of course , those gentlemen are already bracing their nerves to hear the sentence of transportation pronounced against them ! We have terrific times in Ireland 2
The weather is glorious and genial . The late panic about the re-appearance of the potato rot is gone down—the report being ill-founded and a most magnificent crop being nearly matured through the country . Excellent potatoes can now be had in this city for 61 . per 14 lb 3 ., and it is thought that next week they will not fetch more than half that price . In tho meantime thousands are in state of halfstarvation and hopeless . Business is almost entirely suspended , nobody knows what may come next , and even those who have work to do , find wages to ears , are too excited and toe alarmed to apply themselves to their usual avocations . I hope to let you have a full , and interesting , letter next week .
Though the police in the towns , and the military in the opuntry districts , are moving the very stones of the highways in quest of arms and ammunition , still , strange to say , they are not getting scarcely a single stand . There have not been fifty piksa discovered in all Ireland np to the present hour . A few guns and pikes have been seized in the public streets , but the search in houses and suspected places has been unsuccessful . The people are not disposed to give up their property , to gratify the whims , or allay the terrors of their enemies .

STATE OF LIVERPOOL , ( From the Homing Chronicle . ) MoHfiiY . —Tke aUtfi of ( his ( 6 wn is perfect quiet , though preparations te meet any outbreak that may occur are still continued , and numerous persoas are daily sworn in as special constables . The exoitement occasioned by the clubs is fast weariDg off ; nevertheless the frequenters of them are narrowly watched by the police , who seem to have pretty good information of all that passes in them . A very decided step is aaid by one of the Liverpool papers to have been taken on Saturday , by the trustees of one of the dock companies , who dismissed on that day 500 labourers from their employmeat , for refusing to ba sworn special oonBtables , A counter-petition to that lately sent up to London , and wherein the petitioner * asked to have the Habeas Corpus Act suspended in Liverpool , has been banded about here for signature , nod hsa already received a great numbsr of names .
( From tbe Liverpool Mercury of Tuesday . ) The magistrates were at first somewhat in doubt as to their powers of apprehending Dr Reynolds and other phyeioal force advocates , who have figured sway io this town for' some time past , bat these doubts having been removed , warrants have been issued for their apprehension . Dr Reynolds was supposed to be somewhere in tho neighbourhood of Birmingham , and an officer was despatched to arrest him . He bad , however , up to last , sight , continued to cenceal himself from the police . It isitated that Mr M'Manus and others of the leaders went last week to Dublin , They were , without knowing it , accompanied by a' deteotive / aud Mr M'Manus was traced to hia hotel in the Irish metropolis .
Last night the 46 th Regiment , enoamped in the field on the north side of Brock-road , Everton . The novelty of the sight attracted an immense concourse of spectators . About three o ' clock a company of the 6 th Dragoons arrived at tbe field : they were followed by the whole of the 46 th Regiment in military order , with baggage , he . After being inspected by Major-General Sir W . Wane , orders were given for the erection of the tenta , and in an incredibly short space of time a large number of them were pitched . There are upwards oi 100 tents in all ; they are arranged in ten rows of ten each , and form a square . The officsn' tents are » t the south end , and at some little distance tho = e for the Major-General And , Colonels will be erected .
At convenient distances around the field large canteens have been formed , from which the rations will be eerved ; and on the north end of the encampment a shed , extending upwards of fifty yards , has been erected by Messrs Jones and Jump , of Pleasantstreet , for the Artillery and Horse Guards . Every necessary for the troopa has of courao been provided Each man , last night , was served with sixty rounds of ball . Upwards of 600 of the local company of pensioners , under the command of Captain Greig , wen on duty from six o clock on Saturday raormng to nine at night . During the day they were inspected by Msior-Gener *! Sir Wm . Wane .

Fatal Accident . —A fri htful accident occurred on Saturday last to one of the guards of the London , Brighton , and South Coast Railway Company , of the name of Chase . It appears that after bringing up from Brighton the train due at London * bridge at twelve o ' clock , he returned to New Cross , where he resided , to get his dinner ( having to return to Brighton in the afternoon ) , on an engine which was drawing some horse-boxes which had come up by a previous train from Drayton . As they neared New Cross the train was slackened , and the unfortunate man sprang from the engine on to the platform , from whence he fell backwards , and the whole ol
tha train passed over him , crushing him in a most frightful manner . The poor fellow was an old servant , and much respected by those with whom his employment brought him into contact . He has left a very large family to lament his loss . Past and Present . —Madame George Sand has quitted Paris : all her property has been removed to Tours , where it is said she intends to fix her abode . Tbe late events in Paris are the cause of her having decided upon leaving the capital .
At the Ambleaide ( Westmoreland ) petty sessions , a few days ago , tbe parish constable appeared before the Magistrates as complainant against himself . He accused himself of having been drunk at the fair . The Magistrates fined him 5 s ., which he paid . William Murphy , master of the Ballinrobe Workhouse , lrelaud , has been committed for trial at the Castlebar assizes , charged with the wilful murder of Patrick M'Gowan , a boy twelve years of age , by beating him to death .
A correspondent of the Scottish Press calculates that in Edinburgh £ 234 , 520 are yearly expended in strong drink , and JG 312 i 000 in bread . The total amount of subscriptions received by » e was announced in last week ' s Star as beiig JG 288 Is 4 Since then I have received a letter fjom Mr W . Woodhead , Holmfirtb , in which he states that he remitted tbe sum £ 2 17 » . to the wrong place , it not being intended for the Defence Fund , but for the Land Fund , and requesting me to hand that sum over to . as Directors . This will account for the discrepancy in the amount at tb . e head of this column .
