      STATE OF CORK . From Cork the accounts this evening are favourable , although some excitement prevailed in the oi : y en Wednesday night , as will be seea by tbe fol-I-wing statement copied from the Reporter of yesterday : — On list sight tbe troops in this garrison took possession of the city . From some information obtained by the magistrates it was considered necessary to keep t _ = m under arms ___ in readiness fer an immediate turn on ^ .

      S ; nrtly after nine o ' clock a rocket was sent ap from the Tnckey-street guard house , and soon afterwards su : h Of the people as were in the streets were astonished to beheld s targe mluirrr force marc-lnj np Patrick-street to tbe Grand Parade , where they took up a field position . Imme diately after the Lancers arrives from Bslliccollig , where tbey had been in waiting for the signal . The troop < :, which consisted of the Lsacers , the _ Slh sad 70 th S » g + ments , and a large police force , numbering as far as coald be estimated between 503 and 609 men , remained for some time on the Grand Parade , while the general , field f fillers , magistrates , police officers , & e „ were in consultation , we believe , at the guard room . The subject of the consaltation , of course , was kept a profound secret , bat en its tjrmination a movement—or rathe ? a eerlta of cencertsd movements—took place . A troop of D .- « goo _ 3 , and five er six companies of one of the infantry

      regiments , with a detachment of pslice , marched down to the South Mall , where th » y took up a position in the neighbourhood of the banks . Another troop of Lsneers , wiib » police pirty , occupied K-ng-street ; while a third , as we have been informed , with the artillery , occupied a position on ths Wellington-road , which covered the city . A i . ither detachment took possession of Great George-• trfet . Several detachments of Dragoons and infantry petre _ ed ia various districts , one up the western , road to tb" bridgeacd roond Sunday's-well ; a second cp Hallowlas ' , Dablin . hill , returning by Blackpool ; a third by Blarney-lane ; a fourth by the Balljhoolly . road ; and a fit a . by BaHin-tetapie to BUckrock and Doz glas , At the same time different patrols of police were kept continually laureling about tha principal streets , taking short circalts from the Grand Parade , where , it appeared , the htau quarters had been established .

      Biortly after the first arrival of the troaps on the par * ds a nnenber of psople assembled from motives of cor' -slty ani wonder etthis inesplicab ' e movemeat , and remiined for some time watching the proceedings ; but as the feour became later tbey gradually dispersed , and , afi'T cieven o ' clock very few were to be seen in any part of I ' o . a city , which remained in tbe possession of tbe military . T'tings continued in this state until midnight , when the order beiag given to re-form , the troops im _ ie _ iately dtp * ' ted , in nearly the same order as thsy had previously U' ¦ "s in entering the elty , the greater portion of the Lancers ijB . hincollig , and tha remainder , with the 28 th and 70 th Retra-nts , to tha barracks . Iti-ge bodies of police , towever , _ UHibsri-g from 70 to 100 men , continued to patrol the city till a late hour of th .- m-rning .

      ALARMING STATE OF THE ? 0 ETH , Government were last night put in possession of information ot the state of affairs in the south of so urgent a nature that not an hour was lost in taking steps to prevent tha possibility of a successful outbreak . Acordingly this morning , at almost break of day , two batteries of artillery , the 74 th Hiahlanderg . from Ship-street barracks , a company cf the 60 th Rifles , and a well-stored commissariat , were put in motion , and at six o ' clock the whole of this auxiliary force was on its route to the disturbed districts . Major-General Macdonald , second in command to Prince Getr ^ e of Cambridge , had proceeded te take charge of the southern district . The 85 th Light Infantry , now in Richmond barracks , and two more mnpaniea of the Rifles , proceed to morrow aa farther reinforcements to the army in the south .

      A company of artillery , with field battery , landed here from England this morning . From eighty to one hundred young men connected with the Dablin clubs are prowling about town , seeking to make their escape to the disturbed districts with the desperate determination of taking their stand by their beleaguered leader , whose fortunes , tbey say , they will follow to the death .

      MOCK FUNERALS . At an early hour on Tuesday morning last a hearse was seen drivingrapid ' y through Clonmel , surrounded by about fourteen horsemen .

      There has been a considerable number of arrests to-day , including some members of the Irish Confederation and the clubs . Hyland , the celebrated pike-maker , ia stated to be amongst them .

      ( From the Daily News ) Ddblik , Jolt 28 . —The police are searching thia city by entire streets . The houses of all persons either connected with the Confederation or the clubs , or bearing kindred in any way with the members , are being searched from cellar to garret . Arms have been discovered in places most ingeniously contrived for concealment , but in no very great quantities . The police have received information that arms have keen concealed in the villages surrounding the oity . Tbe search will commence , on Monday .

      Four persons from the village ef Blachardstown , in the vicinity of DuWin , were committed this day to Kilmainham nnder the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act . They were proceeding to the oity in a covered car about midaight , on Thursday , when they were checked at a toll-gate , and incurred the suspicion of the horse patrol . The car , en being searched , was found to containseveral stand of arms , including pike heads , ammunition , caps , bullets , & c . The prisoners were immediately taken up , brought into Dublin , and lodged in gaol , nndef the powers of tho recent ROf . One of the parties thus arrested is a tavern-keeper , named O'Rorke , hayings house of entertainment at

      Clontarf , which was a great resort of the Confederates . This person was dressed in a green uniform . FORCIBLE SUPPRESSION OF THK ' NATION * AND * FBLON . ' Between the hours of _ five and six o ' clock on Friday evening a party of sixteen policemen , armed with outlases , proceeded to the printing-office of tho Nation newspaper , in Sackville-lane , and seizsdal ! the printed copies of Saturday ' s intended publication , and a large quantity of blank paper , amounting altogether to about 8 , 000 blank sheets—all duly impressed with the government stamp , and in course of preparation to bo issued on Saturday . They destroyed the ' forms' of thd paper , which were in type , and having rendered all the materials in the office unfit for

      use , removed the entire , with the exception ot the machine , to Sackville-lane ttatioa house . They also arrested the workmen who happened to be assembled in the office , and conveyed them to Henry-street policeoffice . While the above proceedings were in operation , another patty entered the publication office in D'Oiier-street , took possession of all the honks and papers it contained , and arrested a young man named Wilkinson , connected with this department of the paper : A third section of the force were at thesiine time similarly employed at the office of the Felon in Trinity-street , the whole movement having been simultaneously conducted . Here the officers arrived in a oavered car . which was laden with spades , pickaxe ? , and other instruments necessary for

      the purpose which they had in view . They destroyed the 'forms , ' which were nearly completed tor publication on Saturday , and had them brought away to College-street station-house . They thenprocteded to dig up the ground floor of the premises , where they had been induced to suspect armshad been concealed ; but after a laborious investigation they were not able to disover any . The flooring of all the stories was raised , in expectation that treasonable papers would be discovered , but here , too , the search proved fruitless , None of the persons usually connected with the paper were in the office when the constables arrived , having been absent at dinner ; in the interval intima tion boou reached them of their fortunate escape from arrest .

      At Henry-street police office the persona employed in the Nation office , were brought up before Dr Kelly , by Superintendent M'Carthy , charged , with having' printed , and aided and abetted in the printing of a publicatiou of the Nation of Saturday , the 29 th of July ; the said paper containing articles of an unlawful and seditious character , calculated to seduce Her Majesty's subjects from their allegiance . ' It appears that previous to the seizure the usual supply intended for the country and English , agents o f the Nation had been sent to the Post office , where the ? were detained , and their treasonable character discovered . Mr Rea attended for the prisoners , whose namea were , Thomas Dolany , Lnke Quill , James Bradyj Andrew M'Donnell , A . Diggine , Patrick M Donnell , Charles Reilly , Patrick M'Keon , Robert K'Keon , and James Delany .

      Toe charges having been stated , Dr Kelly said , he would send the prisoners for trial , and intimated that he would attend at the office at seven o ' clock this evening to receive bail for their appearance . The amount required for Mr Delany , his worship stated , would ba himself in £ 200 , and two sureties in £ 100 each ; aud for the remainder , wi th the exception of James Delany , their own security of £ 50 , and two sureties in £ 25 each . Mr Rea stated that Delany , who is a very young lad , had only gone to the printing' office with his father ' s dinner , and was not aiding in the printing or publication of the Nation , and applied that a smaller amount of bail might be taken in bis case . Dr Kelly consented to take Delany ' s own ball In £ 20 , and two sureties in £ 10 each . About half-past eighto ' cleck the rrisoners were removed in the police van to Newgate .

      THE LAST ' NATION . ' The Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle says : — By accident I succeeded In getting a peep at one of tbe captured numbers of the Nation , Intended for this day ' s dissemination , end I must say it has been most providential that the circulation baa been stopped . Tbe leading article is headed , 'Tho Tocsin of Ireland , ' and contains a most exciting appeal to tho people to rush at once to arms ' . It says , We declare Viis war is just and necessary , tfcett men may enter on it with free eonseiences , and a fuU assurance that it it Heaven ' s work . ' Further on it adds : * Lit this be our lastslruggle . Earth is weary of mtr orooiis . ' Let us kindle her heart anew with the roar of aw onset , and soothe it Kith the Te Deum of our victory . ' Those who excited the people to their present frenzy , and invoked them to resistance , but who would shrink from tho con . sequences ef their own acts , are warned thus : — ' £ e ( tio mem w 7 io has stimulated this quarrel by word or thoujht presume tohold bach noio ; if he does he is dishonoured and accursed . *

      ( From the Dublin World , of Saturday , July 29 } Arrests of News Agents fob Selling the Felon and Nation Newspapers I—Any of the agents in the different towns throughout the country who sold copies of either of the above papers on last Saturday were guilty of a felonious offence , and liable to a heavy punishment . Several of the parties have been arrested , amongst whom we may mention the following : —Mr Michael Dempsey , of Enniscorthy , agent for the' Felun ; ' Mr Coleman , Clonmel , agent for the Felon , ' and ' Nation ; ' Mr M'Grath . of Ennis , agent for the ' Felon : ' Mr Thsmas Rafter , of Kilkenny , agent for the ¦ Felon ; ' the Postmaster of Sligo , and various other persons whowere detected in selling seditious publications .

      INVASION OF THE DAVIS CLUB . Inspector Hoveoden last evening paid a visit to the Davis Club , which usually held its sederunt * in New-rew , South . The Confederate books had the principal leaves torn out . Several seditious documents were discovered , including printed copies of the celebrated letter of Father Bermingham , for which ha afterwards said his mea culpa . Pasatiokots were also found , and other articles , which show that the rebels bad , by the granting of commissions , been on the eve of organising a eemi-military force , ( From the _/ orr « ng _ id ' uer £ j ' ser . )

      Wateepobd — ' Since our last publication , says the Watbbfobd Chronicle , ' no less than four ships have entered our port carrying troops . The corvette Tweed , conveying 20 gnns—the brig Frolic , and the steamers Royal Adelaide and Dragon , all laden with troops , the greater part of whom have been inarched to Carrick . As yet no disturbance has taken place . Special constables are swearing in , and every necessary precaution is now being taken to make a successful defence , in case tbe city pheuld be attacked , However , it is probable the services of this new brigade will not be called 'into requisition , unless very great necessity should arise ,

      About 400 men ot the Buffs arrived here a few days ago , and were paraded along our quays on yesterday , on their way to the recently constructed camp on Mr Mil ward's hill , near this city . As they passed towards the encampment , thousands of idle boys and daring women walked side by side with them , and the general cry was— Fear not the Buffs , they will not tire on their countrymen . ' Owing to the agitation and fearful excitement trade is almost entirely at a stand in Waterf ord . Shopkeepers are doing no business whatever—it is a melancholy state of things .

      Limerick . —Every hour we have fresh rumours of an alarming nature from all part * , but in no instance has the intelligence of outbreak or disturbance been confirmed . In this city perfect tranquillity prevails , and all classes , with few exceptions , regard with indifference the vague reports in circulation . _ A . number of leading Confederates , and many citizens who dreaded arrest , have absconded in terror . We knew many who have left . Several of the detective police from Dublin arrived here yesterday , to watoh the movements of the clubs and political agitators .

      A rumour is pretty current in town that Mr R . O'Gorman was arrested by the police on Tuesday night , in Ratbkeale , and immediately secured by the people . Yesterday Major-General Napier and Colonel Doyle left this for 1 buries , where they are to meet t _ e 7 _ th Highlanders , two guns field battery . 200 of the 00 th Rifles , 200 of the 8 th Hussars and Dragoon Guards , the whole column being sent expressly for the purfOie of opposing and pursuing Mr Smith O Bnen , Mr Meagher , Ac . who are presumed to be in the neighbourhood of Thurles .

      Me O'G : rmak in Nbwcastlb .-A correspondent of the Limkkice . Examiner , referring to Mr O'Gorman ' s visit to Newcastle , says :- « The club-rooms are withmafewyarda of the barracks where a company of the SSth are stationed .

( From the correspondent of the Morning Chmxicle . ) Dublin , Jolt 30—It is now quite manifest that

      the government acting with great prudence , have determined to delay the capture of Smith O'Brien and the other leaders in the insurgent movement , and the dispersion of the wretched aud deluded peasants who follow him , until they have concentrated a military torce so powerful around tha rebel ga * hering , that any attempt at resistance would be impossible . It is stated that the arrangements will be finally completed to morrow , and that the capture will be effected on Tuesday morning . Circumstances may render decided action necessary this day or two-mor . row , Possibly sirae movement hss already taken

      plsce , and Mr Smith O'Brien may now be in custody ; but the intention of the authorities was that an overwhelming force should be concentrated by tomorrow , in order that the rebel movement should be effectually crushed on Tuesday morning . Troops are constantl y arriving in Dublin , and departing for the South .

      We have receiver the following special report from our corresponden t m Kilkenny : — TiS & ihfpn" ™?*' . mo "" sub-inspeotc . E-i ° ^^ n Ration , county Kilkenny , with between forty and fifty mea under his command .

      Dublin, Jolt 2g'.B.—Four Ooropanif.A Of ...

      proceeded to the neighbourhood of Ballingarry , on the herders of the county of Tipperay , and twelve miles from the oity of Kilkenny , to assist in arresting Mr Smith O'Brien , who was reported to be in the mountains of that locality , surrounded by a large body of armed peasantry . Seme time afterwards a mounted police constable , named Carroll , was sent from the Maudlin-street station , Kilkenny , with a dispatch for sub-inspector Tranfc , but on arriving at a part of tho county

      between Ballingarry , and a place called Comonons , he heard several shots fired , and was soon afterwards taken prisoner by some armed country people , several of whom wcra for shooting him , saying as I am informed , ' If this man gets back , be will hang us all . ' The others , however , declared they would not take Carroll ' s life . The constable was in coloured clothes . He was taken into the presence of Mr Smith O'Brien , who , it appears , wore a cap with a peak and silver band , and carried a stick in his hand ,

      Mr O'Brien , addressing Carroll , formally , ' You are one of the mounted police . ' The constable at once said he was , being aware that he was known to persons in the neighbourhood . Mr O'Brien then turned round , andaaked the peop le whether he should give himself up , but they advised him not to take mich a step , upon which he walked about for some time , and then , mounting the cocstable ' a horse , rode 'away . Carroll was detained in the custody of four men . During this time sub-inspector Trant and his men were shut up in a house to which they had retreated , surrounded by the country people , upon whom they fired from the windows .

      After tho lapse of two or three hours Carroll waa left in the charge of one man , who allowed him to take his departure . On his road back Carroll encountered Mr Smith O'Brien , who had changed his dress , and now wore a hat . Mr O'Bnen , who was on horseback , stopped the constable , but the latter remonstrated with him , and told him it was foolish to think of holding out against the force that would be brought against him , especially as the priests were exhorting the people not to join in resisting the authorities . Mr O'Brien appeared to think deeply en what Carroll said , and observed , that for twenty years he had been endeavouring to serve his country , but that if the people did not stand by him , he might as well give up the attempt . He shortly afterwards gave Carroll his stick , and rode off .

      On the constable ' s return to Kilkenny , orders were g iven to the military to march to Mr 'k'ant ' a assistance , and at half-past eight o ' clock the ci ' y was tbrownt . into a dreadful state of excitement by the marching of a most formidable military force towards Ballingarry . AtaoDgthe body Was the troop of 4 th Dragoons . These were followed by a large bod y of police , and then came 400 infantry , headed by the resident magistrate , Joseph Green , Esq . The rear was brought up by another body of police , making in all about 160 constables , and between 300 and 400 . soldiers . A guard of the 83 rd regiment keot watch on the Tholsel , and ; a largo number of police were under arms in the Assembly-rooms , it being generally expected that Smith O'Brien would be brought in a prisoner during the ni ght . COSIUCT WITH THE PEOPLE AHD THE MILVUB * .

      SEVERAL SHOT . Shortly after the departure of the military and police , the news of the safe retreat of Mr Traot and bis party was conveyed to Kilkenny , aud the cavalry and police were dispatched to recall the soldiers , who were on their way out , and thsy returned at an early hour this morning . Mr Trant and hia party got off safe , but several of the people were killed and wounded . Mr Dillon is thought to be among the latter . There were about 300 armed men around Smith O'Brien at fclio time Carroll was taken . Several Catholic clergymen were seen in vain exhorting the people to retire , whilst shots were whizzing around them , The last accounts from Ballingarry state that the military were concentrating on that point from all the surrounding districts .

      FURTHER PARTICULARS , Liverpool , Mosday Night . —To-night ' s Dublin mail confirms the accounts of a collision having taken place , which was telegraphed this morning . It appears that ten of the rebels were killed and forty wounded : Dillon is thought to be dangerously so .

      ( From the Times , ) WlLLMONT , NEAE BALLINGARRY , COUNTY OF TlP perabv , Saturday Night . — This morning at three o'clock intelligesce was received at Kilkenny tbat O'Brien , Meagher , Doheny , O'Reilly , and Dillon had been proclaimed traitors ; that rewards had been offered of £ 500 for tbe apprehension of O'Brien , aad of £ 300 for that of each ofhis four confederates . Notices to this effect were posted up not only in Kilkenny , hut all over the country , policemen having been despatched on cars in every direction for tbat purpose . Scarcely had the announcement been made at Kilkensy , when Mr Blake , the County Inspector of Constabulary , resolved to undertake tbe important duty which the Lord-Lieutenant ' s proclamation pointed out . Having matured his plans , with the most praiseworthy despatch he started from Kilkenny shortly after daybreak , and reaching

      Harleypark , ascertained there on undoubted authority that Smith O'Brien and the other proclaimed traitors had paseod the night among the colliers ( cr' Black Boys' ) of Bonlaghcommon within a mile of Ballingarry . This important point having been settled , Mr Blake sent a messenger to Cal / an , where the constabulary of tbe surrounding district had been concentrated some daya previously . These , to the number of fifty or sixty men , under the command of chief-constable Trant , be directed to march on the common of Boulagb , a distance of ten Irish miles . Mr Blake also despatched a messenger to Mr Greene , the resident magistrate of Kilkenny , requesting him to get a strong military force moved at onoe from the barracks th ^ re to the same point . Proceeding to Ballyphilip , the residence of Mr Going , he there received further information as to tbe whereabouts of Mr Smith O'Brien and his rebel

      crew . Acting upon this , he proceeded at once to Thurles , and havi gsecured military reinforcements of the most complete and overwhelming kind from that place , and , by the aid of messengers , from Fethard , Clonmel , Templemore , and Casbel , he had these all concentrated on the spot which had been pointed out to him as the head quarters of the rebel army . While all these preparations were in progress , the small but courageous band of policemen from Gallon had already penetrated to the very centre of disaffection , and had in effect suppressed the insurrection . The police on arriving at the common of Boulagh found Smith O'Brien and his associates in treason stationed there with an overwhelming force , ready to give them battle . The bell of the nearest

      Roman Catholic Chapel had beenrung as soon as they were seen approaching , and crowds of persona were momentarily flocking to the ranks of the insurgents . Finding himself in danger of being surrounded and cut off , chief constable Trant threw his men into a substantial slated house whishetandson an eminence close to the common . Here they were speedily as sailed by the armed mob without and by their leaders . Mr Smith O'Brien went up to the window with a brace of pittols in his hands , and called on them to surrender their arms , promising them that if tbey complied their persons would be safe . The time was now come tor action , but the police did not use their mucktts till several shots had been fired at them , and stones thrown in on them through the window . One account says they fired a volley , another that they fired enly three shots . Certain , however , it is that two ef them , one of them , I believe , named M'Bride , were killed dead on the spot , and that a

      third expired shortly _ after , it is also currently reported that oneof Smith O'Brien ' s friends ( some say Dillon ) was wounded in the knee . The effect of this determined conduct was that the crowd retreated , and although Smith O'Brien urged them over and over again to go and pull down the house , they would not attempt it . Tho Roman Catholic clergyman of the district , it is said , arrived at thi * time on tbe scene of strife , and implored the people to abstain from violence . Smith O'Brien and his friends t en appear to have got disgusted . Declaring that as the people would not stand by him , he would not stand by them , he fivd across the country , upon tbe chief constable ' s horse , and , rumour says , in the direction of Urlingford . By this time a reinforcement of oonstsbjlarlyhad arrived from Cashel , and soon after strong bodies of the regular troops , cavalry , artillery , and infantry , came ponring in from every quarter . By the time they had arrived the utmost tranquillity prevailed .

      No outrages on property , at least none of & very serious character , have been committed by the insurgents . They have several times taken temporary possession of horses for their own use . They have al * o made a descent on some of the potato fields , but these are all the charges I have heard against them on that score . Ballinoarbt , Sunday , 3 p . m . —Tho scene of rebellion uwarms with troops from every quarter . The disturbances are completel y suppressed . General Maodonald is here in command . Two of the insurgents are mortally wounded , and are dying now , and there aro a great many hurt . There is no news here of Smith O'Brien and his companions .

      It is Bftid thoy fled to Johnsto wn tho cavalry and police are in pursuit of them . Anather report , in which I place some reliance , states that O'Brien was fired atyesterday within a distance of ten yards by two policemen , and that he fell wounded ; if so , it is likely he and the others are not far off . ( From the Times of Wednesday . ) WlLLMONT , HEAR BoCLAOH COMMON , SuMMI NlOHT . —I have to mention tbat the brunt of the contest at Boulagh-common , was not entirely borne by the party of constabulary from Callan . A body of nineteen men from Cashel , headed by Sub-Inspector-Cox , and accompanied by the Hon . Mr Ffrenoh , R . M ., arrived on tha floane of action just as the struggle with Mr Trant and his 60 men had terminated . While they were pushing upwards to tho house where their com-

      rades were barricaded , an immense body of the msureents came down upon them , m One man , a « black coat boy , " armed with a huge pike , which he brandished as he went along , offered to lead the attack on the police , and stood out in front for that purpose . Sub-Inspeotor Cox immediately gave the order to one of his constables , ' Shoot that man . ' fie wis at once pierced through the heart with a ball and fell dead , tumbling over like a hare when shot running , lhis had a decisive effect . The crowd fled at once , receiv . ing a volley as they dispersed , which must have wounded some of them . . _ .. „

      According to the Timbs correspondent the Catholic Clergy of the district have exerted themselves to put a stop to the insurrectionary movement . He names the Rev . Mr Corcoran , the Rev . Mr Mabor , and the Rev . Mr Fifzierald . as taking a prominent part in persuading the people to lay down their arms . He adds that the celebrated Fathe * Laff * n also told his * exoiteable' parishioners at mass tbat it they joined in the rebellion he would curse tham from the . altar by bell , book , and candle . Father O'Shaughnessy , parish priest of Drangan , made a similar announcement , , Several arrests have been made of persons implicated in the fight yesterday , or who have been heard using seditious language .

      The small parties of police actually engaged with the insurgents appear to have done bloody execution among them . Out of eleven who are known to have been killed on the spot , or very severely wounded , six are already dead , and the rest are not expected to survive . Many more , I hear , are hurt , and it is imposssible to ascertain exactly the extent of the loss . aa the insurgents , who were principally colliers out of work , withdrew their comrades when tbey fell , and concealed the bodies of their dead . Smith O'Brien , I hear , gave a sovereign to a woman whose husband was shot dead befcrs he loft the scene of action . The per tons engaged in the outbreak yesterday will be brought to justice summarily , and every possible means will b 3 used to vindicate the supremacy of the law in thia lawless district .

      Dublin , July 31 st . —At an early hour this morning a party of police entered the extensive establishment of the Messrs Pim , in South George-street , armed witi warrants for the arrests of several young men holding situations there , who were suspected of treasonable practices . The following are the names of the persons arrested;—James Grotty Roscrae , James Baker , William Walsh , Henry Brackston , Edward Beahan , Andrew Beahan , Thomas Sergio , Richard Johnson , and John Sheehan . After their capture the prisoners , together with the various arms , ammunition , and documents fonnd in their possession , were conveyed to the Commissioners ' office , Lower Castle-yard , and an order drawn up by the commissioners of police , Colonel Browne and Mr O'Ferrall , for their committal to Kilmainham , whither they were forthwith transmitted .

      Notwithstanding the vigilance of the police , considerable numbers of the club leaders have effected their escape from Dublin within the last few days , to join the rebel encampment at Slievenamen . A Privy Council was held at the Castle thia afternoon , when it was resolved to place the following counties and baronies of counties under the operation of the Prevention of Crime and Outrage Act . This step has been taken with a view of effaoting a general disarmament of the rebels 1 . County Kerry * 2 . Count ; of the town of Gal way . 3 .

Couatj Wieklow . A correspondent writing yesterday from Thurles says ,

      Although eo actual outbreak has occurred here , I am yot sorry to inform you that the people are in a itate of the greatest excitement , and ara ia hourly expectation of being called upon to act , They are well armed , and as tbey are well practised in tbe use of fire-arms , aud aro moreover of a naturally lawless dispositios , tbe worst fears are entertained ia the event of tbeir being called on to take part In the insurrection , The well . affected are not provided with the means of self-defence .

      CATHOLIC CLERGY . ( From tho Morning Chronicle . ) The Roman Catholic clergy , in all quarters , are exhorting the peasantry to hold no communication with the insurgents . DrJ . P . Browne , Bishop of Elphin , has issued circulars to hia clergy , exhorting and commanding them to discountenance the club system by all means in their power . Dr Darry , Bishop of Clonfert , has issued circulars to the same effect .

      Account , from the south state that the Catholio clergy of North Tipperary were successful on Sunday last , in preventing their flocks from joining the inaurgenta at Sliovenamon . Though hundreds of then went armed to prayers , with intent to leave for the camp , they left for home . Doubts are entertained respecting tbe truth of tbe statement that Dillon had been wounded . Dublin ; W _ DSE 3 DAr Morniso . —The Frebius ' s Journal of this morning contains the following : — Kilkenny , Tuesday Night , Nluo o ' clock .

      Up to this hour It is not kaown where Smith O'Brien is at present . In my despatch of Sunday ni ght I Informed you tbat Sub . Inspector Trtnt and his party of police retired from the bouse in which they had been our . rounded , and reached their quarters in safety , I have sines learned that Smith O'Brien and his men had moved off from the Balllngarry heights before the sub inspector vestured to bring hU men Into the open air , in con « e . quenoe of the appreacb from Thurles of Beneral M'Dd < n » ld with artillery and two thousand men . The clergymen of many parishes have strongly advised their flocks not to join in any armed attack on . or resistance to , the authorities : and I have learned from a well-informed source , that the parish priest of Urlingford , kx this county , prevented a number ofhis people from going to Mr O'Brien ' s assistance on Saturday . It is believeo . that Mr O'Brien fed most of those who flocked around him at hie own expense , and strictly prohibited any of them from seizing provisions or cattle from the farmers .

      There are very vague accounts as to the killed and wounded at Ballingarry ; but 1 think you may rest assured that not more than two were ahot dead , though one hundred and thirty rounds of ball cart * ridge were fired by Mr Trant ' a party .
