The eorre 3 ? osdent of the TniEi writes , it would Le wrong to eay that although treason has been orerawed it has been entirely repressed , I have the most ampla far-Illties for ob « erviD ? the actual condition of the countrj , and I lament to siy tnat the people are deeply and widely disaffected ; that they do not accept th-3 fight at Bonlarh Commoa as anything mote than a temporary defea t . I have the fullest evidence of this—evidence which reaches me bj different channels , and is of the moat vari&m complexion . The suilen and dissatisfied aspect of the peasantry however is of itself sufficient to show that mischief is still brewing — the guarded manner in

      • which they evade year questian 9 shows thB suspi . cion and dietruEt which is abroad—the false rumours ¦ RhJeh they hare so industriously propagated show their desire not to abandon their position—aad stove all , W 8 tenacity with which they conceal the loss Fnstained by them on Saturday justifies the gravest apprehensions- When an Irishman foregoes the funeral ebsequies of his friend , there are strong reasons for it . ff&eo he tmries him in secret and eonceEh his fa . ] , there are deep and cogent grounds for bb conduct . None of the peasantry here will scknowjed . se that more than two of the insurgents hare bten killed , or more than five or six wounded , jet it i 3 beyond all diubt that eleven or twelve of the combatants are deid , and many more are seriously hnrt , and that the amount of loss on the part of the

      rebels greatly exceeds our information . The party in widow Cormack's house fired altogether 250 shots , each msn being a £ o : d mar ' esman and taking a steady aim . Mr Trant before the action commenced told them , with characteristic cosiness , that he tx fteUd a man for every cartridge , and from all that I can hear I believe the men didthdr best to act vpto ikese Instructions . There is no longer any doubt that the peasantry in t&s south of Ireland are deeply and desperately disaffected ; that whatever they may ba in external appearance , they are all , or nearly so , rebels at ieart ; that almost every man among them is araed , and braves ths law by retaining bis weapons ; that , in sheK , nothing is wanted to make the rebellion of 1648 boti formidable and extensive bat the presence of leaders skilled in the conduct of warlike

      operations

      THE KUS 05 EB 3 . Thct 3 I . es , Satuhdat Moruisg . — General Macdonald , att ' aehead of the troops under his command , left Ballingary on Thursday afternoon , taking with him twenty-ons prisoners . They were handcuffed to each other and moved forward two abreaBt , the polish , with fixed bajenets and muskets cocked , surrounding th&n on every aide . As they were leaving their friends crowded forward to take a farewell—the ^ romen in their grief setting up a low wail , and the men lookiDg on with anxious laces , in which fear , scger , and sorrow , were curiously blended . For the criminals—most of them wore an air of dogged determination , such as rebels might be expected to have . A few besought the gentlemen of the neighbourhood t * interest themselves on their behalf , and with earmBt looks declared their innocence . One among

      them was a wounded man and was placed on a ear , where hiB pale featnrea and appearance helped to complete the intemlh of thU pitiful Bcene . Their fmnds were most inquisitive abouttheirdestisation , end when told they would be conveyed to Dublin and kept there until tried they appeared to give them np 3 S lost for ever . They followed them for 6 'jme distance oa their way , though it rained heavily at the time , and when they F&ited , one fellow who Lad been blubbering lustily , shouted out as his farewell , ' Die like men , boys . ' This , as you will readily understand , is only the first instalment of that full measure of retribution which awaits the rebels of this district . Yesterday many more arrests were made , and the magistrates are in pessession of information which will enable them t * rea : h all those who took th s most active part in the late outbreak .

      We pre 3 ume that the following , from the Ddblis Evssjsg Mail , relates to the above prisoners : — Last night the police succeeded in arresting twenty of tee wretched men who had been induced to take part in the affray at Boolaga , on Saturday list , Oas of the prisoners was gerionsly wounded in Ihe shoaliier . Three law clerks and a printer were arrested on Friday evening . The printers of the Ninojr have , with three exeephora , been admitted to bail .

      TRICKS OP A POLICE SPI—ABBBSI OF DB WEST . Dceun , Acg . 5 . —ArreBts oontinne to be the order of the dsy . Amcng the latest was that of Dr West , a thriving apothecary on Summer-hill , and a prominent member of the Confederation , who _ has for several days eluded the vigilance of the police , but fell into their hands last sight by a ruse en the part of one of the detective force . This man , who is of a weak and sickly appearance , went into the doctor ' s shop , and sitting down in a chair said he required instant bleeding . The assistant behind the counter volunteered to do the job ; but the patient would permit no one

      to operate but his friend , ' the doctor , ' and stripped off his coat and bared his arm for the lancet . The shopman was completely taken eff his guard , and summoned the doctor from the top of f he house , where be had been lying concealed . lie wa 9 about feeling the man ' s pulse , when the latter produced his wftrraKt and carried off his prisoner to the next police station . It is reported that documents and correspondence of a most treasonable natuia rperefoand ID West's possession , besides a warrant of his appointment to a post of high command in the army of Slievenamon .

      SJR OBBIEN . The correspondent of the Fsbehan ' s Journal writes : — On Wednesday tke polloe of Balllngarry discovered some of MrS . O'Brien ' * clothes in tha house of a poor woman near the commons , whom they arrested , and have still In custody . The articles f mnd were a pair of boots and a shoe , two cloth trowiers , a coat and waist , coat , and t * o shirts , on which Mr O ' Brien ' s name was marked . These are all in the hands of tbe police , aleo a great coat belonging it is said , to Mr Dillon .

      ABBETFEALS . —UR 0 GDRMAS . Fridat , Aug . 4 . —Accounts from the county inform U 3 that Mr O'Grormanhas been figuring in this neighbourhood , whers he made his appearance on Thursday . The neighbourhood of Abbejfeale . in the county Limerick , was the head-qnarters of Captain Rook in the memorable year , 1822 , There he held his camp , and thence he issued hia proclamations . After addressing the mob , he beat a retreat to the village of Ache . ? , and soon after hia departure it traj discovered that a policeman , ia coloured clothes , had been in the pla ; e . This unfortunate man was on his way back to Newcastle , from whence he had come , when he was pursued by a baker and nailor on horseback and brought back te the village , when he was stripped naked , and some money , a letter , and a pistol taken from bim . He was then sent towards Athea , to be dealt with as the General might determine , but was afterwards released , and allowed to return home .

      AKBKBT OF A POLISH BEF 0 GKB . On Friday a man representing himself to ba a native of Poland , named Sinowsky , was arrested in Carlow by the local constabulary , under the following circumstances : —On Monday week he arrived in this town from the south and claimed relief from various persons , in order to enable him to proceed to London , to obtain the means of passing to his native country . In the interim it was reported he had uttered seditioHs language , and a constable in plain clothing from the country was employed to watch his movements . Ih gave , during an interview with the constable ( of whose position he was ignorant ) , a detailed account of bis proceedings in the south of Ireland , as a ' driller' in the Polish science of' pike' warfare , for which b . 3 was liberally paid ; and he further added , that he expected to be employed in drilling &&d train * ing £ club in Carlow . since extinct . After communicating the interesting information , he was taken [ to the police effice , and committed to gaal .

      Mr Meagher , M . P ., father to Mr T . F . Meagher , is the third in the list of special constables sworn in for Waterford city . TKE BALUSGABBT AFFAIR . —IFqUEST 02 ? THB BODIES . An inquest was held at BalliDgarry on Monday , 31 st of July , by Thomas O'Meara , Esq .. Bouladuff , Coroner , and a jury of the farmers ot the locality , on view of the bodies of Patrick M'Bride and Thomas Walsh , the two men who where shot dead by the party of police on Saturday , the 29 th of July , in the affray between tbe police and the insurgents assembled on the Commons of Bouliok " . The inquest was attended by one of the local magistrates . Mr Goingi of Ballypbillip , by Mr Fitzmaurice , R . M ., as well as by General M'Donald and the officars of his staff . The Coroner first took the evidence relating to the death of M'Bride , and called

      John M'BiunE , brother of the deceased , who , being swsin , deposed that on Saturday last he heard his brother was shot at Farronrory , aear the Commons , and went in that direction , when he met some men carrying him home on a door ; asked him what was the matter with him , when he replied , ' Oh , I ' m killed . He said ep more until he came home , when he said he was coming over the wali of tbe widow Corroack ' s yard ; the police were at the time in the house when he was shot in the back from the house . Witness stated that deceased had gone with the crowd who followed the police , and heard about half a dozen shots . He was a servant bjy that was making hay at the side of the road , and when he saw a crowd he followed chem . In reference to the cause of tha death of the unfortunate man Wash , the Coroner examined

      Anna waisb , wife of deceased , who being sworn , deposed—I recollect Saturday Jast . My husband went to work at breaking stones , about six o ' clook I saw crowds of people goine to the Commons , and that morning about twelve o ' clock heard g ome shots , but cannot say haw many . I thea went to the widow Cormack ' s house , wfeere the shots geemed to be _ firing , and gaw my husband lying on the field outside the wall of the house . I was going over to him , when two gnns were put out of the

      kif ; he 3 i windows of tbe houEe , and some persons inside cried out to me to go bach , or they would let the light through me . There was not a man near thehauss . or any other person except myself and my husband , and another man who was laying at the wall of the house struggling for life . The Rev . Mr Fitzgerald then came up , and I asked him to interfere to get my husband ' s body , that I might bring it home to wake it . I have one child , and bad no way of living , but my husband earned a pound of meal a day stonebreaking on the relief works .

      The Jury returned a verdict in both caaeB , that death eDsued from gun-shot wounds inflicted by some of thepslice , who had retited to the widow Cormack ' s house , and fired in self-defence . On the suggestion of General M'Donald , Anne Walsh was called , and on being asked did she receive money from Mr Smith O'Brien after her husband was shot , she said that Mr O'Brien gave her a £ 1 note bsfore he left , expressing the greatest sympathy with her misfortune , and telling her to bury her husband with the money . THE ACCURATE INFORMATION POSSESSED BY THE

      AUTHORITIES . 01 Friday an effort was made to arrest the editor of the Cork Southern Reportbb . A police force entered the office of the paper , and inquired for Mr Barry , bat be vas not to be found , it was understood , however , that ha was subsequently taken at Blackwall by z sub-inspector of police , who , on finding him absent from the office , had proceeded towards hia residence . An evidence of the vigilant supervision exercised by the authorities , and of the accurate information possessed by them , is presented in the fact that two young gentlemen of a respectable class , named Hopper , who had only arrived from Eagland on Saturday last , and who are in the confederacy , were arrested in Bannagher on Wednesday , ( We take tie follomng from an Iri 3 h paper . )

      Closubl , Aug . 3 . —Notwithstanding the late arrests and consequent excitement , this town , and , as far as I can learn , the whole country remains quiet and undisturbed . Air Francis O'Rjan , of Cashel . was taken yesterday in Carrick-on-Suir ; and I am also informed of the arrest of Mr Richard C . Jackbod , of South Lodge , near Carrick-on-Suir , on the charge of harbouring Doheny . Hia house tob searched on the day before for the rebel chief , but without any re 3 H . lt . Mr Jackson and his friends Btate that Doheny had not been been at his residence during the last moath . Two pieces of artillery were received here yesterday . Preparations of every de-Bcription are yet going on , and every precaution still taken , though the probability of a serious rebellion is daily becoming more unlikely . The danger in

      Muns er is not yet at an end—a most extensive system oi organisation had been arranged , but it was not intended to bring matters to a crisis until November . The suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act drove S . O'Brien and the most headstrong of his party to declare themselves prematurely rebels ; but further rebellious proceedings are oontemplated ween the days become short and the nights long and dark . Secret information bad been given on this head , and strong precautions must continue to be taken . Mr J . O'Donfiell , of Ballpbos . was led into a cognisance of the acts ef the Confederates by the persuasions and advice of ' Doheny , ' the most mischievous though not the baldest of the leaders , We must not be too confident because no greater explosion has taken place . Many yet bide a more convenient

      season . ARRE 8 I 3 IN CASR 1 CK . Clonmel , Auo . 3 . —Carr ictHm-Suir was the scene of great excitement about two o ' clock to-day , Dr Ryan , of that town , and Mr Anthony O'Ryan of CaBhed were arrested on warrants from tae Lord-Lieutensnt , and conveyed out of the to vn in a chaise , escorted by an immense force of military , horse and foot , and a large police force . It seemed deabtful for some time whether there would ba a rescue ; they were , however , brought off without any attack , but amidst great excitement- A few miautes ago they arrived here , and were lodged in the county gaol . A kr ^ e number of eavtlry , infantry ; and constabulary from Clonmel joined the Carriek escort on the way , and the whole formed a most imposing array as they accompanied their prir oners through Clonmel . Some troops left this Ie it night , at twelve o ' eiook , for SlievenamuB , to aejmoi for arms and antsjusi-

      tie-n also to look for Mr Doheny , who was Baid to be lurking about there ; they obtained gome arms , bat could not lay their hands upon the rebel chief . After leaviDg Slievenamon they visited Kilcash , Thorney Bridge , KilsheeBaD , and several villages in that district .

      POREION BTMPATHY . The government having received information to the tffactthat Buppliea of arms , ammunition and food , intended for vhe use of the rebel army in Ireland , had been shipped from France and America , have taken effectual measures to prevent the landing of these mischievous consignments . In addition to tho fleet at Cove , and tha steam frigates , sine sloops of war have received orders to cruise off the Irish coast . — Dublin Evening Herald . Nenagh August 3 . —Yesterday two French travellers , their air soldiery , came by canal to Limerick , and without stay proceeded at once by steamer down the estuary of the Shannon to Kilrusb , whose defences they examined , and were found , by the direotion of their reconnoitring glasses , to be also eyeing the forts of Tarbert on the opposite side , and others around .

      Same tide they returned to Limoriek , and their conduct was so suspicious that they are this day at examination before the magistrates .

      ARREST OP MR SMITH O'BRIEN . ( From the Correspondent of the Times . ) TauRiBS , Saturday Night . —This evening , at eight o ' clock , Mr Smith O'Brien was arrested in the town of Thurles . just as he was on the point of leaving for Limerick . The arrest was mado without the slightest resistance either on the part of the prisoner or the people , and the infatuated rebel chief is now on his way to Dublin ^ He was recognised in passing through the principal street of Thurles by —> Ilulme , a guard in the employ of the Greit Southern Railway Company . Mr O'Brien asked htm the way to the railway station , and Ilulme having answered the question , immediately sent off for reinforcements . He himself followed Mr O'Brien to the station . On

      arnvisg there Mr O'Brien askid for a second-class ticket to Limerick , the price of which he paid . His manner was so embarrassed that tbe clerk noticed it , and particularly the tremor of the hand . He did not , however , recognise his face . Having given more money than was sufficient to pa } the fare the clerk returned him 6 d . change , but he took no notice of this , and was walking away , whea the clerk called him back . On his return he asked which was the right platform to go to , and being told that it me that opposite where b . 9 stood , he crossed the line to get to it . There he was immediately arrested by ilulme , who commanded him to surrender himself in the Queen ' s name , and seized his arm to prevent any resistance or the use of a weapon . Head-constable

      Hanover , D , who held ths warrant for his arrest , immediately assisted Hulme , and Mr O'Brien was at once disarmed of a small pistol which he carried in his waistcoat pocket , and which was the only weapon he had about him . The reinforcement which Hulme had the prudence to send for , and which consisted partly of police and partly of soldiers , now arrived , and Mr O'Brien was at once conducted to the gaol , where arrangements were made for his lodgment during the night . General M'Donald , however , wisely determined to send the prisoner without a moment ' s delsy , to Dublin , and accordingly , in an incredibly short Bpace of time , a troop of dragoons and a detachment of infantry were drawn out as an escort to the station . In the meantime the people

      DQgan to assemble in groups , tbe voices of women were heard waxing eloquently rebellious , and every moment increased the signs of popular agitation . General M'Donald ' s arrangements , however , were made and carried out with the greatest exredition and precision . The entrance to tbe gaol was cleared by the police , a strong body of infantry held the station , and a troop of eavalry swept the streets clear ef the crowds that bad assembled there . The shopkeepers w era imperatively ordered to close their doers , and the General himself entered one or two where a disposition was shown to disobey his orders , and itntck terror into the inmates . In consequence

      of these vigorous measures not the slightest dimsnlty was experienced in conveying Mr O'Brien from the gaol to the station . He was taken there on a oar , whioh was also occupied by Mr Gore Jones and Captain Fitnnaurice , the resident magistrate , and by General M'Donald . A Btrong escort of infantry and police accompanied the prisoner , who was safely placed in a special train previously prepared for the purpose of conveying him to Dublin . Mr O'Brien occupied the centre seat in the carriage , and in the same compartment were Lieutenant Alexander M'Donald , four armed policemen , and the sub-inspector of constabulary at Thurles . The train started on its way a few minuteB after ten o'clock .

      Dublin . Stjkday Mowing 6 o ' olock . ™ Mr O'Brien has arrived , and lias been safely lodged in the Royal Barracks here by Lieutenant Macdonald , to whose care hia father , the General , intrusted the prisoner . Mr O'Brien was prohibited from speaking or moving on the way on pain of instant death . He therefore tried to sleep , but his effsrts were not successful . His manner during the journey was upon the whole confident and self-possessed , though the uneasiness of his mind would occasionally betray itself in his face , and in the restless manner in which he ohanged his position from time to time . I could see that anxiety of mind and personal exposure have lett deep traces behind them on his features . On reaching tbe Dublin terminus he walked to the barracks , gunrded by a party of thirty policemen , who had accompanied him by the train . Viscount Hardinge left down this day to take command of the troops at Clonmel .

      I am this moment informed that Mr O'Brien ba ) been sent to Kilmainbam , under the same escort as that which accompanied bim to Dublin . Prince George of Cambridge haa thus lost no time in providing ior his safe keeping . The news of Mr O'Brien ' s arreBt , although arriving at the untimely hour of two thia morning by epecial engine from Thurles , flew like wildfire over town . Even at this early hour the subject forms the topic of discussion at every street corner . People appear panic-stricken at the fate of the leader of the inBUr * gent army . ( From the correspondent of tho Daily News . )

      Mr O'Brien purchased a second-class ticket for the town of Tipperary in tbe statioD , and wn creasing over to the passengers platform when he was seized by Hulme , who had in the meantime told the few police who were in the station then to be on the alert . They also rushed upon him and effectually seoared him . A byestander foolishly attempted tc interfere , crying out to Hulrae , ' you sha ' nt take him , ' when a member of the detective police , who was on tbe platform at the moment , presented a pistol at this person ' s head , and effeotually put a stop to his display of sympathy . O'Brien was removed to the Bridewell in a few minutes afterwards Mr Gore Jones , the stipendiary magistrate of the locality , and Mr Fitzmorris , the stipendiary magistrate who

      has been acting with the military , were in attendance there as quickly as possible , and with the utmost expedition completed the forma necessary to the transmission of the prisoner to the metropolis . I was informed by a gentleman who had gained admission into ths gaol , that O'Brien , pending the arrival of the police who were selected to escort bim to Dublin , entered into conversation with the officials whe were present . It bein ? observed to him that the general impression in that county was that he bad succeeded in making his escape from Ireland , he said , in reply , that he had remained among the people until he found it useless to attempt remaining any longer . His presence had become a constant source of terror to them , and he had made up his mind to leave the hills rather than run tbe risk of

      bringing down upon those who sheltered him the penalties to which they became liable for so acting . The Frbkman's Jourhal gives the following particulars ot Mr Smith O'Brien since his arrival at Kilmainham : — Oa tbe arrival of Mr O'Brien with his escort at Ktl-Qaiahatn Gaol , he was conducted at once iato the interior , ana wbb shown into the registrar's room , whilst arrangements were making for his reception , and the usual entry mado in the prigon books . Mr O'Brien was reoeived by the deputy-governor with courtesy and reaped . When he reaehed the pri » en Mr O'Brien was enveloped in a large double-lined cloak or travelling wrapper of dark ffltza . This he wore over hU usual ooatutne . 3 ome brief delsy taking placa , Mr O'Brien inqatred how

      soon he wonld be shown tha room he was to occupy ; ho expressed himself very much fatigued , and laJlmated his wiBb to be allowed to tafee some rest , Ho was at once conduoted to a lock-up room , where a bed was placed , and on reaehing it be proceeded to dispose himself to take Bome repose , after his long j jurney by railway , and , prebably , a fatiguing walk acroes ihe country to Thurles , previous to h ' g arrest . Tho officer in charge of the prison , however , deeming that some refreshment was neoefl-« ary for hU ptleonef , had tea , ie ., got ready and brought up to him . Mr O'Brien partook of it , ond thanked the officer for his opportune attention . He then slept uninterruptedly until nine o ' clock , when he was served with breakfast . He breakfasted heartily , and , as we couli learo , appeared self possessed end cheerful during the morning .

      MR 0 BR 1 EN APIBB HIS ABRH 8 T . The Freeman expresses the feelings of the Repealers on the arrest of Mr O'Brien , in an article from whioh we take tbe following passages : — Never , perhaps within the memory of the present generation , » a » the public mind of Dublin more deeply nwayed by anxiety than on Sunday , the 6 th of Augusta day of remarkable import to Ireland the day that gavo birth to Daniel O'Connell , and a prison te Smith O ' Brien . No sooner had the depressing intelligence tbat Smith O'Brien had been apprehended and

      committed for' high treason' been diffused , than anxious inquirers flocked frjw every quarter of the city to leara the par 4 cular 6 of an oveat fraught with bo many painfal feelings and recollections .

To thio magnanimous resolve Is due tbe arrest at Thurlcs . Wearied and worn , from long and painful watching , and fearing tbat to accept the protection of the peeaaiu ' u fire-aido migat diroct the vengeance of the law en the innocent , he determined never again to lay bis bead beneath roof other than his Awn , and in par-Boanco of that stern and herolo resolution he turned his wandering footsteps once more towards home—careless of personal oonuquencea , provided only the injury an 4 tho ruin ( ell upon himself alone . Wo can vouch f jr this

      ( act . ( From i correspondent of ihe Morning Chronicle . ) He was dressed in a suit of black , not apparently soiled or disordered . One of his first acts on reaoh ing the gaol was to take off his shoes and stockings , his feet to all appearance being much swollen from walking . He iooks emaciated . The expression of his eye was wild , as that of a man who had been aubjeot to very great excitement . Beyond an appear&noa of utter prostration of mind and body , which might be the natural result of what he has gone through , there was noth ' wg either in bis appearaoce or speech to warrant tha opinion that ha has been for some time

      insane . To all questions put to him as to where he had been , and what were his intentions , and ss on , he gave tho moat consistent anwen . but , at the same time , with the manner of a man so aufforing from excitement that his intellect was unstrung . He inquired moat affectionately after Meagher , Dillon , and his other companions . He was under the impression that it was Dillon , and not yonng Stephens , of Kilkenny , who had been Phot at Ballingarry . lie asked for tea . He was treated with considerable attention , but with a due regard to the awful stake he had at issue . When they were about to bring in a sofa to the room where he was , he deolined to hare ie . and said he would sleep on it in another room ad *

      joining . O'Brien said he had felt it impossible to hold out any longer , as all his friends had foreaken him . He said , ' I was promised the support of a nation , to drive the English from the country . ' He added that he had been induced to leave his retreat in the hills , because the farther he went the more the people seemed to fear to harbour him , or hold any communication with him . When asked the localities in whioh he had been , he Deemed utterly ignorant of their names , and seemed surprised that the authorities should know them . His whole demeanour was that of & man jaded and prostrate . His expression , that of indeaoribable despair . ( From tbe Times . )

      ARRESTS AT WATEnPJRD . August 5 — At about two o ' clock to-day , hearing the bell of one ef the Catholic obapels tolling violently , I ran into the street to inquire the cause , and found the police farce in motion , and the townspeople flocking together . On inquiry , I learned that Thomas Francis Strange , Esq ., solicitor , and presi dent of the Felon Club , was arrested and lodged in the King-street police-station . Proceeding farther on , I found the police searching for other prisoners ; they took into custody Mr Supple , glover ; Mr Patrick M'Auliffe , clathier ; Mr Fogarty , assistant to surgeon Kenney ; and Thomas William Condon , a whitesmith , aeoraiary to the Wolfe Tone Club , a man of superior abilities . Torrents oi rain , just at

      that moment , oleared the streets mo 3 t effectually . About an hour after the arrests , the prisoners were taken through the wideat streets , and by a circuitous route to the gaol . When they were entering the prison gates , tbe scene baffles all description ; the women wishing that they were men to take revenge , abusing the cowardice of the olubs , and venting their indignation in curses , loud and deep , against the ' Feelers . ' On the return of the escort , stones were unsparingly thrown amongst the police . One woman was arrested by them , but rescued by the others , the police cot deeming it prudent to use their fire-arms . A troop of dragooons , with Sir Charles O'Donnell and Mr Tabuteaiii R . M ,, assisted the police . Four boja were made prisoners for stone-throwing .

      FURTHER PAR'PrCUf . ARS OF THE ARREST OF MR WM . SMITH O'BRIEN . ( From the Special Reporter of the Cork Examiner of Monday , ) Sundat Morkino , Eigdt o'clock . —Having intimated to you ia my despatch of yesterday , my intention of proceeding to Thurles , and from thenoe towards Keeper Hill , I accordingly left Caahel for that town at three o ' clook yesterday evening . I reached Cashsl shortly after five o ' clook . The town and neighbourhood were perfectly quiet . Having walked about the suburbs for some time , I proceeded towards the Thurles terminus of the Great Southern and Western Railway , which place I reached about ten minutes to eight ; o ' clock . The officer on the station told me that tha Dublin train would be in at eight o ' olock , and that the Limerick train would start immediately after . Haviog an anxiety to see them start , I made up my mind to wait for a short period .

      It wanted but a few minutes of eight o'clock , when I perceived a gentleman cross from the town side towards the station . I know not why , but I assure you my entire attention was instaatly abmbed by him . He wore a , black hat , a blue boat cloak , in which he was rather tightly muffled , and a light plaid-like trousers ; he carried rather a large black stick in bis right hand . He entered the office , and aa he passed me , with what feelings I cannot desoriba to you , I recognised the features of Wijuiau Smith O'Bhibn . There were at this time not more than one dozen persona in tke vicinity of the station , five or six of whom were gentlemen who had engaged places in the Limerick train ; the others were three policemen , and some one or two railway officers , with two fellows , rather decently dressed , whom I afterwards disco * vered to be ' detectives . '

      Mr O'Brien entered the office . I watched his movements with the greatest anxiety—he paid his fare to Limerick , got his ticket ) and walked out . He again wrapped himself up in his cloak , and , folding his armB , walked across the line to the opposite Bide . Scarcely had he readied the other aide , when I perceived the guard of the Dublin train pass , from behind the office , aad anxiously look in the direction in which Mr O'Brien had gone . Mr O'Brien was walking slowly along tbe line , awaiting the arrival of the Dublin train , by which he was to start for Limerick , when this same officer , who is an Englishman , and named Hulme , stole quietly accrosa the line to whore Mr O'Briea was , and placing his hand on his collar , said , ' You are the Queen ' s prisoner . ' Instantly the two detectives

      called on the three policemen , and all ran towards Mr O'Brien , each catching him by the collar as he approached him . At this moment , a young gentleman who was standing by ran towards Mr O'ErieD , and stretched out his hand to him . No sooner did one of the ' detectives , ' who was o ! ad in a white overcoat , perceive this movement , than he drew from either pocket of his coat a double barrelled pistol , and , pointing each at the gentleman , exclaimed , 'Stand back ! for by heaven , if jou move another foot in advanoe , I shoot you—Policemen draw your bayonets . ' The latter command was quickly obeyed , and the seoond detective , who walked at the rear of Smith O'Brien , produced two pistols similar to those of his companion who walked in front , each pointing his arms at the heads of any person who attempted to approach them .

      Mr O'Brien , who looked as though he had only made his toilet a few houra before , was exceedingly pale . He seemed most dejeoted , and was scarcely able to walk , having to lean back on the policemen who were behind him , and who in the roughest manner possible , shoved him under the neck with their open fists , while . two others dragged him by the collar , tie was taken from tho station , through the streets of Thurles , and lodged in the gaol of the most central town in Tipperary , escorted by five almost unarmed policemen , and two deteotives . The only words I heard Mr O'Brien utter were , when his guards were shoving him violently , KaBy —take me easy . '

      As he waB carried through tho streets , some few persons recognised him , and exclaimed , 'There is Smith 0 Brien . ' A number of women quickly colleoted , and commenced hootirg the police ; but , with this single exception , there was no symptom of excitement . Mr O'Brien was then taken up a narrow lane , in whioh the ga 9 l is situate ; and the troops , who by this time h&d got the alarm , were instantly drawn across tho lane , bo as to prevent any approach thereto . A despatch waa immediately forwarded to the encampment outside the town , when troopB instantly were poured into the town in vast badieB . On my return to the railway offiue , I could soaMelr make my way through the street , so filled were they with military ; yet the people were unexoited .

      On my arrival at the office , I perceived the same person who arrested Mr O'Bhgh dresaed in a diSereut coatume , and heard him order a special train for Dublin , in whioh I afterwards learned Mr O'Brien waa to be conveyed . When leaving Tfaurlea all was quiet . Prom what I Baw of the people , I am fully convinced there was no attempt at rescue . 1 had nigh forgot to mention that , on inquiry , I disordered that Mr O'Brien , drove in an outside car muffled in his oloak , through Tharles , to the very neighbourhood < sf the station , from a village distant from tbat torn about three aiks , « ad lying towards Keeper Hill .

The City Grand Jury returned true bills against Mr Charles Gavan Duffy for felony .

      In a few minutes Mr Doff ; was placed at the bar . The prisoner evinced the utmost unconcern , and with unmoved countenance heard the indictment read against him by the officer of the court . Clerk of the Court ; Charles Oraran Duff / , are yon guilty or not ? The prisoner , by the advice of his agent , abstained frsm making any reply . Sir Coleman O'Loghlen applied for a copy of the indictment , as a favour and not aa a matter of right , which waa refused , on which the learned counsel said , it would be necessary to haveifc fead out slowly t ) ree times . Some further discussion arose on the artiolea seized by the Crown , which were not printed , and which thftconnsel for the traveraer never saw .

      It was finally arranged that the ease should be postponed until the next morning , for the purpose of ascertaining the opinion of the Attorney-General .

      Mubdeb of a Father by his Son — On Saturday last , a young man , named John Parker , was committed to the Castle at Lincoln , to take his trial at the ensuing assizes , on a charge of having murdered his father . On the 19 th ult ., the deceased was found dead in his house , from the effects of a gun-shot wound . Circumstances arose , which led to suspicion falling upon the prisoner ; but at the inquest , held on the 20 th of the same month , the jury , after a lengthened inquiry , came to the conclusion that there was not sufficient evidence to justify them in returning a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner , and he was consequently discharged . The inhabitants , not satisfied with the result of the

      inquest , caused further inquiries to be made into the matter , when additional evidence was obtained , and the prisoner was taken into custody , and brought before the Rev Mr Potchell on Saturday , when he underwent a final examination , which ended 5 o his being committed as above stated . It appeals , the deceased , his wife , and son , lived together in a . cottage , at Corby , near Grantham ; the two former Jed a very disreputable life , and on tbe day that the alleged murder was committed , the prisoner and the deceased were down stairs , when an altercation took place , and bis wife , who was up stairs , heard the

      report of a gun , but although the prisoner told her that 'his father was shet dead , ' his wife did not think necessary to come down and ascertain the fact , or send for medical assistance ! The report , however , alarmed the neighbours , and they , consequently , entered the house , when they fouad the deceased as already described . The prisoner , in defence , said that 'the deceased met with his death entirely from accident ; that lie ( prisoner ) had a gun in his coat pockets , in two parts ; the barrel , which was loaded with powder and shot , fell from a hole in his pocket , when the contents were discharged , and his father was shot . '

      Extraordinary \\' HiRLwiyD .--Oneoftheniost tremendous hurricanes that ever took place in this country occurred here on Thursday week last . We have made many inquiries of eye-witnesses and have received from their own lips , in most cases , the following information;—Michael Searle , wbo keeps the telescope on the chain pier , said he saw , about a mile to tke south-west of the pier , what appeared to him to be a very black cloud of a conical shape , and like a large cistern suspended in the air with water pouring from it , or drawn up with it . It approached the pier head , where it seemed to divide and join again on the other side of the pier . It kept twisting like a snake . It then got among the bathingmachines , causing them to run about the beach , and ihen rushed up the sea wall , and took a direction

      towards the race course . The length ot 16 was about 50 yards . Apparently , a moment afterwards , a mass of canvass appeared to rise from the race course from the tents of the booth-keepers . Other occupiers ot the chain pier gave a similar account of the phenomenon . Considerable damage was done to the booths on the race couise . A cart , drawn by a pony , standing near one of the new stands , was blown over several times . Several persons who had been much injured were taken to the hospital . It is understood that some gentlemen intend to raise a subscription for the sufferers . Zc is fortunate thst the hurricane took place in the morning . Had it come later in the day , when the booths were filled with company , it might have been attended with far more serious consequences . —Brighton Herald .

      Execution at Winchi-ster . —On Wednesday week the convict , William Atter , who was convicted at the Jast assizes of the premeditated murder ef O'Connor , his keeper , in the Portsmouth dockyard , suffered death for his crime at Winchester gaol . The wretched man was born of decent parents at Great Gonerby , in Lincolnshire . Having lost his father when a child , he was above the control of his mother , and ( although apprenticed to s good master as a blacksmith ) he fell into the compaay of dissolute people , which led eventually to his ruin . He was

      sentenced te be transported for seven years for kousebreaking ; and after being released , at the expiration of half his time , for good conduct , he enlisted as a soldier ; and having deserted , and become destitute , he then committed a highway robbery , for which he was sentenced to be transported for life , and was placed on board ihe York hulk , in Portsmouth harbour , where , by his own account , from being very bad in disposition , he became much worse , and eventually he reached on murdering the man for whose death his own life was yesterday taken .

      The Coming State Trials . —It is said the Dublin shopkeepers are threatened by their own shopmen with ruin , and even death , if they do their duty in the jury-box , and allow the prisoners to be convicted . — Times . Tub PROROGATioN . _ We understand that the Court is expected to return to Buckingham Palace from Osborne about Monday , the 21 st " inst ., for the purpose of Her Majesty ' s prorogeing the sessions of Parliament in person , Her Majesty ' s stay in the metropolis will not , it is expected , exceed two days , after which the Court will return t o the Isle of Wmhl-Mn Bull .

      Shaky Condition of the System . — Once unsettle England , and credit , enterprise , employment , and wages fly away , The houses we live in require the ; r foundations to be absolutely firm . If the ground yields in any part by ever so little , the most solid wall will crack from the foundation to the parapet . It is exactly so with the fabric of our commercial prosperity . Shake its foundation , which is saeiflj confidence , and the whole edifice tottnrs . —Times .
