      DnfiADFBi Railway Accidksi nkab Cheltehham . —Thebs Mks Killed . —A moss ho ; rib ! e accicent occurred on Friday , ths 15 th . inei ., a few minutes before four o ' clock in tha aftcrcoou , on the railway between Gloucester and Cheltenham , at ab-ut three miies from the latter place . As is known to most of cur readers , thia portion of railway is used in common by the Great We 3 l 3 rnand Midland companies , a line of four feet nine inch rails bsicg laid within ths broader ones . On Friday afternoon , a number of men , in the employ of Mr Blinkhorn , contractor , were engaged in removing old , and laying down new ballast , at Ilatherly-bridge , three miles from Cheltenham . Thi 3 work , owing to the alao » t constant traffic passing over a portion of the line used by these

      two . urge companies , is liable to very frequent intertuption , and is an occupation of great danger , requiring a most vigilant look-out t 9 be kept by the woikmen , or by someone in their behalf . Accordingly , Mr Blinkhom has employed a lad to attend to this important duty , and to ring a large and strongly Bounding bell , as a warning to the men on the ap preach of a train either np or dovn ; and it is but j ait ice to Mr Blinkhom to state that ha voluntarily adopted this course out of tegardfor the safety of his Eien , in addition to using all the other measures of precaution imposed npon him by the rules of the railway coapany . It would seem that when the accident occurred , the meo , being warned by the bell that a train was approaching , left off work , and stood atder the bridge to observe the train a 3 itpa 3 ? ed . The train , which was on the narrow gauge up lioe , happened to be an unusually Ion ? one , which circumstance unfortunately absorbed the attention , of the

      men , and they occupied themselves in counting the LTw ^ fl ^ f ?^ ' ^ 80 ceased , a broad gaoge tram ( the tircto o ' clock train , irom Padding , ton to Cheltenham ) , came np in the opposite direction , and along the line ? n which the men were standing . The boy rang his bell , and the driver of the approaching tram sounded the large whietleof tne engine , but unhappily all to no purpose . The poor iellowa either heard not at all or very indistinctly the warning notes , owing ta the revetbtration cau-e by the train whose motion they were wat-bine under the bridge where they were Btandins ; or if they heatd the whjslb and bell at all , they thought projjabiy the warning was given in reference to the tram then passing ; them . Be this as it may , the unhappy men remained inattentive or deaf to thetaTinp sound of either whbtle or bell , and in &n instant they wete overrun by the . train . Three of the unfortn * nate men were killed on the Bpot-de » th must lwe beta as metantaaeHM * a » if tbe victimj had been

The three men who were killed were named Witts , Newman , and Paul ; and an inquest will be held on their remains at the Cheltenham Railway Btation this afternoon . The other two men , who were seriously wounded , are named Ford and Wilka . The former has his arm and thigh severed from hia body , and the latter has part of his arm and a portion of hia foot cut off .

Several witnesses were examined , when Dr Brookes , medical officer to the Cheltenham district cf the Great V 7 eB ( ern Rai ! way , and whoatrived by the pilot engine on the spot shortly after the accident happened , de-? critad the nature of the injuries which bad caused the deceased ' s death . Newman had the top of his head cat off , and the piece was lying at a considerable distance from the body .

      marrieil men with numeroua families . — Gloucester Journal . Shockikg Mdedbr at Siockpsm . —The feelings of the community of Stockport and its neighbour hod were very much shocked at an early hour on mday , the loih inBt ., by the perpetration of a coldblooded and deliberate murder , an event that has not otcuired ia this borough for very many yeara . Tha perpetrator of this crime is James Kelly , between 25 and 30 years of age , who waa em « ployed at Mr Orrell ' a , Travis Brook Mill ; and hia victim is a young woman named Elizi Faulkener , of comely appearance , somewhat ov * r twenty years of age , who also worked at the same mill as a throstlespinier . The deceased and Kelly had some time

      kept company , but her friends having lately told her home circumstances conneoted with bis life previous to their acquaintance , she determined to break off the connexion with him , and had told him bo sereral dsy s previously . On Thursday night ha went to her lodgings at MhD . i son ' s and solicited an interview . She granted it , snd stated to him that besides being a Chartist he had been in prison , lie replied he had been in prison for poaching at Preston ; but she told him that all her friends had threatened to turn their backs upon her if she continued to receive hia addresses , and that ahe had firmly made up her mind never to marry him , or indeed meet him again . ; On Friday morning about half-past five o ' clock , he went to the hou 3 e again , and called her by name , knowing

      that she would be goiDg at that hour to work . She left homa with her landlady ' a daughter , and he joined them at the entry end , where it is supposed ha renewed his entreaties to be received again as a lover , and she refused ; the other girl had before that leit her . They crossed Norris-street together at the entry end , and were close to the window and

      upon the flasa , just outside the door , and died almoat instantly . Several persons were witness to the shocking deed , and the prisoner was at once apprehended by three men , who stated to Bowers , tbe officer , that the man they had in custody was charged with almost cutting his wife ' s head off . Bowers , addressing th prisoner , asked if he heard what the men said asain 3 t him . The prisoner replied , ' It is true . ' He then asked Bowers to git down by the side of him , whicb he did , when the prisoner said , ' It is not my wife , bnt my sweetheart . It ' s all her friends ' fault , they tried to persuade her all they could not to keep company with me . ' He was then lscked up and an officer placed in the cell to watch him . He had a cat on hia left hand at the time , which bled

      profusely , and this wa 3 dreBsed . The murder was perpetrated with a long sharp knife , which the prisoner immediately after thraw away , but it was soon afterwards picked up in the street , and is now in possession of Policeman Walters . The deceased had neither faiber nor mother living , but she had two sistcrj . She- is represented as a girlof good character , quiet d ? sposiliOD , and steady habits . The inquest was held on tha body , before Mr Rutter , coroner , at the Crown puWiciiou 3 e , Ueaton-lane , at four o ' clock on Friday afternoon . The above statement wa * tally corroborated by several witnesses .

      MUBDER OF TWO CHILDREN IN SlAEPOBDSHIRB — Willbnhall , Friday , Sept . 15 . —This afternoon an icqueat waa held before Mr T . M . Phillips , coroner upon the bodies of two children , named Edwin Jones , aged eighteen moEths , and Sarah Spencer , aged twelve years , who were murdered late on Wedntaday eight by a woman named Maria Jones , mother of the first and aunt to the second unfortunate victim of her undoubted insanity . The facts of this horrible case may be told shortly . The woman charged with thomurdema the wife of a working man named Enoch Jones , in apparently comfortable circumstances . She ia ' a very interesting looking young woman , and appears from her conversation when in a right state of mind to have received an education

      superior to those moving in her sphere of life . About three months since her husband noticed a ohange ia her usual behaviour ; she neglected her household affaire , and seemed absorbed in religious speculations , Her manner became bo strange , that ultimately it was deemed advisable to place her in the lunatic ward of the Wolverhampton Union Workhouse . She wa ? , however , discharged on Wednesdav laat , at the instance of two of her relatives , named Maria Hadley and Martha Jones . She then appeared to ba in a rational state . During her abort stay at the union workhouse her child was at the house of a sister-inlaw , and on her return she took it home with her , being accompanied by the little girl , Sarah Spencer . About nine o ' clock that night the neighbours were

      alarmed by the woman ' s cries from a window , declaring that she had murdered the children ; and she then attempted to cut her own throat , but she only succeeded in inflicting a slight wound . The neighbaurs entered , and found the infant with its head entirely severed from its body , and lying a few inches from it . The girl ' s throat was also cut , but fee head was only half severed horn the body , and she appeared to have struggled considerably ; At the time the parties entered the house the woman was threatening to kill any perasn who should lay hands on her . She was . however , soon 8 ecurfd , and taken back to the workhouse at Wolverhampton about twelve o ' clock at night . Itis said that during her stay at the workhouse it was not deemed

      necessary to placa her under any particular restraint . Herhuaband i 3 wbat in this country is termed a 1 whimsey' man , and necessarily at some perieds works at the pit all night . The next morning the woman entered into conversation with Mr Abbott , the governor of the workhouee , and in the presence of Colonel Hogg , deputy chief constable of Staffordshire , narrated the manner iu which ahe oommitted the crimes . She stated that sho sent the little girl to bed with the child before eight o ' clock , and then walked down the lane with a neighbour , named Mrs Cave . Sbe returned , bolted the door , and went to bed herself , but did not sleep . She then got up and searched for an > z : > r with which to cut the child ' s throat , as she balioved it would be damned owing to its having been ohristened by a Catholic priest . Not being able to find a razor she got a black-handled knife , which she sharpened against a steel , went np stairs , then cut the throat of her niece , but did not

      cut the head quite off . She then declared that Bhe ought to suffer for spilling the poor baby ' s blood , A 6 times the unfortunate woman appeared calm and collected , and reproached herself bitterly for the crime ; bat at others she was exceedingly violent , threatened to kill those around her . and had she not been prevented by the parties watching weuld have strangled herself . The isquest staads adjourned , but no person svems to entertain a doubt as to the prisoner ' s ^ sanity . The adjourned inquest was held on Wednesday on the bodies of the two children , and hag terminated in a verdiet of Wilful Murder agaiaat the unfortunate woman . Since tbe horrible occurrence the wretched woman has been in the work , house at Wolverhampton in a state of insanity . She , however , is sufficiently sensible of having committed ihe terrible offence , and has repeatedly acknowledged her guilt . She will be removed to Stafford gaol to take her trial at the next a sizes .

      Mysterious Case . —Two Cihldbbn Poisoned . — Glguce 8 TE 3 , Wednesday . —Som-j aenoation has been created in this city by a report that a whole family have beea poisoaed , whether accidentally or malicioualy jet remains to be ascertained . On Friday week John Ken ' , Journeyman cunier , of Have-lane , got np early , and , having HgUcd the fire , went to hie woik . Soon afterwards tw . i of his ssna—Frederick , aged twelve years , and Daniel , aged tenyeara —came down , and , being hungry , began to hunt in the cupboard for some breakfast . Frederick having been unwell the day before , hia mother had made him some gruel of fhur and water , and the

      boy finding a paper bag in the pantry , which it is stated contained' farinaceous food , ' took it ap Btairs to hia mother , who was in bed , and aeked her if he might make some gruel with it ? The mother gave the boy permission to do so ; he , therefore , boiled some of the powder in water , and having eaten a portion of it , went but of doors , leaving the remainder on tbe table in a' basin . About half an hour afterwards the boy became very sick , and went home , whea he found his mother in the kitchen with two younger children , Fanny and Sarah , and the gruel on the table just as he had left it .

      partook of the gruel , and instantl y became very sick * Fanny having become muoh' worae in the afternoon , medioal assistance was Bent for , but unfortunately she expired before a surgeon could be obtained . The other child , Sarah , exjired on the following morning . These circumstances having become known to the Coronor , Joseph Lovegrove , Esq ., he ordered post mortem examination to be made . No trace of mineral poison was found in the bodies , and the surgeon gave it as his opinion that death had been caused by excessive vomiting , but the cause pf that vomiting he could not tra-e , adding that the vomiting having taken place instantaneously on the gruel being taken , the poison and all traces of it might have been thrown off . Apparently by accident , Mr Hickea obtained possession of sorae of the powder of which the gruel had bsen made by the boy Frederick , and , on analysing it , he discovered that it contained arsenic , These facts being elicited , the inquest ; was adjourned .

      SrelanDf . THE NEW REBELLION . ( Abridged from the Correspondent of the Times ) Clonmel , Sept . 12 . —The military sustained twelve or fourteen hours of fearful fatigue without a supply of any sort of provisions ; the men were ready to drop on their arrival , so worn out wore they with the want of food and a harassing march . One of the officers informed me that from all ho saw he had no doubt but that large bodies of the insurgents were on the peaks of the very mountains through which the army paased ; they had information of a rebel force being here and there , but they were generally posted in a ! m < st inaccessible positions , to that is would be impossible for a comparatively small force

      fif military , without a commiseariat , to have attacked them with any success . They succeeded , however , in capturing Line ecouts and sentinels , whom the ? surprised and took in arms . I saw them marched in a » ' prisoners of war' under an immense guard of constabulary . They were reckleas , fierce-looking mountaineers , and seemed little concerned for their fate . The troops returned to Carrick in full battle array , and presented a moat imposing appearance . When leaving in the morning they were in high Bpirits , hoping that the rebeh would aland a shot . On setting the command to march they gave three hearty cheers , and were as gay as larka on the road tor a considerable time , but coming back they were greatly disheartened that all their toils should havo had so littla reward .

      The writer further add ? , that , in company with a respeotable Roman Catholic he met a man who said , in reply to a question as to where the boya were going . ' There is no danger in telling you all . 500 or G 00 of us are to meet below there to-night , and march for the camp . Don't you fee where it is ? Look at the light from the fire ; we are on for it , and will go through with it . ' This valiant correspondent glvea the following graphio atato of the country : — Cabrick-on-Suir , Sept . 13 . —I left Clonmel this morning at eleven o ' clock , and proceeded to Glenbower , about eleven mile ) distant , where a desperate engagement took place at six o ' chek yesterday evening between a body of rebels ( I cannot venture a gueBa at their numbers , the accounts on both Bides are bo CQLfiV . cting ) and the police who occupied the constabulary station at Glenbower . On the new 3 of

      the cOL-fvet arriving at Clonmel the excitement greatly increased , and the alarm was so great tbat few wera disposed to venture out of the town ; tome confined themselves closely to their houses . I was most anxious , however , to witness the scene of aotion , and determined on running the risk of visitirg it . Till I came within a mile of the place , the luvaly country through which I passed , blessed by nature with a fertility and beauty rarely equalled , had a woful appearance of desolation . Not a man was to ba Been on the roads , in the fields , or about the houseB ; cattle , crops , dwellings , barns , were all deserted ; there was a fearful ailenca and an ominous absence of employment everywhere . As we gained the Carrick side of Slievenamon and approached Glenbower , I met a few men here and there who Beemed more on the look-out than anything else , and were curiona io know what waa my object in coming to such a disturbed country .

      In consequence of an orderfrom head-quartara the police were preparing to leave their station , at aix o ' clook yesterday evening , and were packing their baggage when a body of rebels appeared on tho hill to the left , and fired upon them as they rushed down . The police immediately retired to their barrack and secured the doors , windows , &c , as beat they could , but had scarcely finished , when their asiailantB oame running and yelling about the house ; a well-dressed gentlemanly young man went to a window , and thrust hia hand through a pane of glass to Bhake hands with a constable , pledging his word that if the men delivered tboir arms they shonld be unhurt and allowid to go wherever they pleased ; the police kept up an amicable parley as long as at all

      practicable , in the expectation of some aid , in vrhioh they were not disappointed , for , to their inexpreEsiblejoy , they saw the Nine-mile-house police , who were eight in number , coming along tho road . On seeing them tho rebela moved away from the barrack in erder effectually to intercept them acd take their arma , but the police parleying , and at the same time marohing to the barrack , were enabled to gain it by a gallant bayonet charge ; the men in the barrack then opened the door snd nobly dashed out to their assistance Then the fight commenced ia earnest , five or six of the insurgents , with extraordinary daring , leaped into the little yard in front of the barrack , and engaged the police hand to hand , while others from the hill and road poured in an indiscriminate fire . One subconstable particularly distinguished himself by his coolness and bravery—he shot one of the boldest of the assailants through the head , and while doing to another presented a musket at him which misBed fire

      he turned upon t&e teilow and gave him a bayonet wound in the head , making him a prisoner . The fight raged for a quarter of an hour , when the rebels retreated to the mountain , taking some of their killed and wounded with them , but leaving one of their dead weltering in hiB blood near the barraoks and the other horribly wounded . Head-constable Orr ' with thirty police and sixteen foot Boldiera , from Carriok , posted to tho spot , and arrived there at nine o ' clock ; as they approached the barrack , they cave tkree hearty cheers to notify their approach to their companions . This had not the desired effect hawever , for the police in the house thought they were in for a second attack , and the rebels who were Btill on the bills started up from their hiding places , as they thought to recsive a reinforcement , but as the faot was , to sustain a charge and galliDg fire , not only from the police , but from one hundred of the 36 Buffa under Major Cameron , who soon came up to join in the pursuit . The constabulary only were orde : ed to fire , bat tie infantry could not be restrained

One policeman reoejved a bullet through his cap , andanother hid hia musket broken by a ball as he was going to fire ; one or two were wounded , and also a snldiw , but none badly .

      the Insurgent baadittl ( for th * y nan only be is termed ) , were on Thursday assembled upon a more remote part ol the mountain of Slievenamon ; at a plaoe oalled Bowadonnell . Such s plan of prooueding as that of retiring before the troops , and quickly appearing and disappearing along the heights and emongit the fastnesses of the mountains , very plainly indicate that the inungents , whoever may- be their leaders , are acquainted with and determined to practise tbe old Irish mode of warfare , by which an enemy of far superior foroe and discipline could bo yet i ( factually harassed , and worn out , or at least kept at buy , for a considerable period .

      The Bame writer adds that : — If the people at large , from & want of employment and by an anticipation of the approach of famine , be rendered desperate , they will join tbe present actually existing banditti , and the ooastquence w 11 be the wholesale plunder of the unfortunate farmer * , and a vast expenditure of publio treasure In the movement of trospB , who will be harassed by pgrpetaal forced marches , without ever meeting an enemy to oppose them .

THB INSURGENT CHIEF . The Closmbl Chronicle , published on Saturday , contains the following : —

      During the skirmishing of the military and police force yesterday morning , atComeragh Mountains , county Waterford , a man was seen at a distaace crossing from ihe dlreotlon of the rebels , on horseback . The dragoons , under Mr Coulson , resident magistrate , gave chase and gained on the fugitive , who , seeing his perilous position , jumped off the horse aad succeeded in ef&ct ' ng his ea . cape . The howo was taken b y Mr Coalson , and proved to be the one whioh had been taken from William Vil-Uers $ tuaTt , Etq ,, by the insurgents in one of ttaelt midnight movements . Pistols were in tho hoUters , and , from informations received by the authorities , tho horse

      and acooutrements are well known to have been those used by O'Mahony ; there is no doubt but he was the rider . ThU is the second or third time that his pursuers have crossed his traok within the last three days . On Wednesday evening , about bIz o ' clook , ha waspurBued by the constabulary from the nei ghbourhood of Glcnbower and so close was tho chiso , that ha made for the river Suir and dashed into it at Doefteld Castle on horseback swimming over to the Waterford side , which faereaebed and th . n joined a large body of his followers on the mountains . The horse and accoutrements were brought into Carrick yesterday by the military , who returned at about eleven o ' clock .

      In the attack at Gleabowcr , on Tuesday evening last , throe or four of the constabulary , In the heat of tha confllct , actually fired off their ramrods . I exlraot the following from the correipondence of the Freeman : — Soon after reaching Glonm si , a party of military , oob . slsttng of about 120 msn , returned to the town , dreadfully harassed after a most fatiguing excursion through the adjoining mountains , but without capturing aslngle prisoner . Fires were lighted boob after dusk last night on Palliser ' s Hill , aad immediately they were responded to by like signals along the chain of mountains In the direction of Carxick . About ten o ' clock to-day thirteen persons were brought in by tha peVce from Cleriham . They are now undergoing examination before Mr Ryan , R . M .

      Thuhles . Monday evening . —This town waa the scene of great exoitement during the early part of this morning . Owing to information communicated , I believe by a magistrate , Mr Gore Jones , R . M ., was astir before nine o clock , and at ten proceeded from Thurles in the direction of Holyercss . at the head of a large party , consisting of about 100 cavalry of the line , and 100 infantry of the constabulary force . Preparations were also made for the protection ef the tawn in case of a surprise , and those who , swayed by the rumours , expected an assault upon theto ^ nj were , I can assure you , by nomeanBfew . As the day progressed ths excitement increased , and it waa not till after two o ' clook , when Mr Jones and his army' returned , weary and exhausted , but * unscathed , ' that the panic was allayed . The oauae of all this exoitement may be britflj explained . It

      appears that , during the latter part of last week , Mr Lanigan , of Castlefogarty , had removed to his tarm yatd some corn , wheat , and oats , Beized for rent due by some of hia tenants . The poor peasant ? , finding their corn gone to the landlord , thoir potatoes melted into rottenness , and their wives and children in danger of being without food , went among their neighbours and told their tale of woe . Each raan who heard of the seizure , felt that hia own turn could not be far distant ; and in the course of Sunday notices were posted in all the public places , calling on the tenantry of the district and of those adjoining to assemble on this day ( Monday ) to consult what Bteps they ought to take to secure for themselves and their families so muoh of the crop as would sustain life . The place fixed on for the meeting was Mealiffe Hill , about two miles south of Holycroas .

      CtoHHEi . , Sept , ia . —There was considerable exclta-¦ sent yesterday evening on account of the appearance of a large body of men within a mile of the town , on the top of a mountain that rises from tha river .

      Larje numbers have also come together in tha direction of Fethard , as many as some thousands , bat I have been unable to learn whether they proposed to ' them , selves any object , or have been guilty of any violence . This morning sis of tbe msst respectable persons from ClaMran were taken prisoners , aad brought Inhere by the police , They are charged with having been present at some of the nocturnal assemblages , and ara principally youag farmers in good olrcuantaBoes .

The van waa guarded by a body of city police under Superi ntendent Selwood , and Inspectors Carmody , Stokes , and Tidd . A body of fifty constabulary , under Inspector Geraon , were in attendince , and a portion of them drew up in a double line between the van and the doora of the station , whilst the state prisoners passed through , each guarded by two of the oonita .

      bulary . O'Brien walked with a firm atap , and Meagher appeared quite cheerful and laughed occasionally ; but Leyne , unlike the re 3 t of the priaonerB did not seem in good health or spirits . Major Brown rigg , and Mr Fitzgerald , a magistrate of the countv were present on the oooaBion , and the oonstabularv and police stood on the platform-the police with cocked pistols in their hands- whilst O'Brien Meagher , and their associates took their seats in a first-claas carriage . A portion of the coastabuW ^ ith fixed bajonets , sat in the carriage with them and the rest were disposed in the other oarriaS composing the tram , to whioh there were three vS attaohed , conveying a carriage and four horses , in which the prurnen are to be brought from Thur es , whore they will leave the train , to Clonmel . At fi ve minutes past nine o ' clock the train started . There were few persons colleoted at the station , owing probably to the faot ot the intinded removal not having been publicly known .

      THE SECOND IH 3 URRECIION '—THE APPROACHING STATE TRIALS—THE liEW AGITATION—EMIQRATION OP IHB PEASANTRY . ( From our ow » eorrespondtnt . ) Dcblix , September 19 . You hava heard terrible things of ' inturreclion the second' whioh began and ended on last Tuesday , In the mighhourhoodof Carriofcon-Suir , and tbe adjacmt localities . Tbe Tory newspapers of the Muniter countiesparticularly the old woman in lodgings wko drive * the Clonmbl Chronicle—have set the emp ! re ringing with tales of' broken bridges '— f > f feeleagued catties' of ' eapturedoannon '—of police barracks being in ashes—of ragged regiments btyoni counting being perched on the Tippe * ary and Waterfsrfi hills—of enirmishes at all hours with tha peelers nad soldiers—of hordes of pikes-men bsing nnwod down by military bullets , < fcc , &c .

      I need not be minute in describing what Ms occurred last week in the south . Your last publication gives enough of tbe particulars , and a good deal more than is true . Tbls is no blame to you , however . Tbjse stories found an echo in tbe moat of the Irish papers , and even jiurnals published on the spot . The truth amounts to this—thtre i 3 a reokless spirit of discontent aad despair amongst the people all over IreUnd , and particularly in tho southern portions of Ireland . 'Some came , not yet well defined , coHectod several mobs of half-starring , unemployed peasaatry on the hills in South Tipperary , and in the vicinity of Waterford oh last Tuesday . Their ob « jec seems to hive bees to take up arms to procure a duj ' g food by force . A polios barrack or twe was attacked , Bhots fired into them ( it is said ) without effect , and shots

      returned from them , killing three or four insurgents , ' and wounding several—the ex » ot number not bsing aa . oertalned . Sovaral farm houses were summoned for contribution ! towards the Insurgent Commissariat ; sovjral bullocks , pljB , aad Bhecp were sent voluntarily Io the hills ; numerous peasant cab ' ns wero entered by tho mob ordering ' out' the inmates fit for fight ; the para , pets of Gfannagh . brid go were levelled in a vain attempt to break down the thoroagbfare ; tho residence of the mad Marquis of Watarford w * s threatened with a visit ; the Dublin Cistle authorities beoama ' all over ' and packed off poor General M'Dooald and tho 60 th R fles to ths scat of war ! On their arrival , all was found quiet 1 ' Tho ' eap ' . ured cannon' were found on the parapets of Currashmoro House ; the mad Baresford was found alive and well .

      Tho pa&Bantry are all got into their huts , and such of them as have any employment , busily and quietly en . gaged iu its performance . All is now as quiet and miserable as the bitterest enemies of our country can deBiro . Suoh is the termination of tbe ' second edition ' of the great Irish insurrection of 1818 !! But will " tha people continue qutet ? No . They are now desperate , Hunger , nakedns 6 s , want , drives them mad , and they are reckless of oonsequoncoB , and Eagland ' a 40 , 000 sol . diers will sot be able to keep anything like peace in the oounty of Tipperary !
