On Monday nig-nt . all the mea * ires , res being ' taken , about ten o ' clock 300 insurgents sere ere removed irom tbe Fort de 1 _'Est , bound _together urearee by three , and were directed towards Atnieres . ihejhey appeared greatly exasperated , bnt not to the

      iimame extent as the men of the preceding departure . _'J'hejhey arrived at Annates about half-past eleven , and stating at once placed in the railway carriages under a improper guard , were carried away by the train . The tthether portion ofthe insurgents arrived ia abont an ( omonr after , from various points , and wera carried ma-way by & train whieh left at half-past one .

They were immedi-Iteltely tiansferred , under the escort of the National irnirnard _, on board tiie Dirien . One of the prisoners

      _jppippeared to feel great grief , and his face was bathed : u fa tears . When he was abont to be embarked , he , nebeing relieved for a moment from the bands whieh naiad bound him to his two companions in misfortune , _iindndeavoored to throw himself into the basin , bnt a _IJeiJendanne and a National-Guard were fortunately _. _Jjlible to prevent the attempt . The departure of the : ) aOarien _iflflotyet . fixed . ; A new detachment of 200 _insinsurgenta ia expected to-morrow . ' ° i Another convoy of insurgents was sent on Saturday 'ngught to Havre . The Momieub , of Monday , coniaiiains another long , long list of poor insurgents who _isevere smuggled away in the dead of Sunday night .

      IBS C 0 H 8 T 1 IUH 0 N . ] In tbp _National Assembly , on the 29 th alt ., 3 f . WoYoi & nAXm ascended the tribune , and read the _iuamended draught of'the Constitution . The first ¦ _aisight articles constitute a sort of preamble to the _mbvhole ; they deolare that Fiance has constituted _iieierself as a Republic , with a view to advance always _iioioa higher degree of morality and civilisation ; the _Rltepnbhcisoneand nhdivisible ; acknowledges the axaxistencs of , aad declares that obedience is dne to Inlaws duly voted ; it recognises the respect due to the Dithurch , ; tofamily ties , and property ; rejects all vMews of / conquest , and undertakes no war unless for lelegitimato defence , or to obtain satisfaction fur iojuriries done ; declares thai every , citizm ought to be

      _atactaated by love for hia conntry and by love for hia fefellows—ought to procure for himself the means of _Bjexiftence by foresight and labour . The Republic _rowes to aU instruction suited to their _station , and DOwes assistance to such as may require it . —[ It will b $ e remarked that the right of labour is not guaranteed iiin _thepresentdraftl—Tbe greater number at the _arfciticles—one hundred aud twenty in all—are the same ass those in the original draft ; but still there are _tsome changes , most of which have been already made kknewn according aa the bureaux and committee de-. _Ofiided on them . Thus there are to be only 750 represseutatives in the National Assembly ; one half , plus oone , most rote , to pass a bill . The President , who Lis to be elected by ballot and universal suffrage , is to ppresent an annual message , giving an account of the _Bsitnatioi _*! of the Republic ; his period for remaining iin office is to be four years ; and after his time ef gg erving has concluded , he cannot be again elected

      _bbefore four yean have elapsed ; he is to have a _residence provided for hira at . the expense of the State , land his salary is to be 600 _, 090 f . [ A lond burst of _exrclamations took place here , but it was impossible to taay whether it was at the sum being too large or too _lamairj . No foreign forces are to be introduced into 'the territory of the Republic without the permission _rof the National Assembly ; substitutes in the army are interdicted [ this provision , whieh was found in tte former draft , was received with loud marks oi disapprobation ] . The new draft enters at-great length into the mode of distributing justice , descending even to very minute particulars ; tbe press is declared free , and a _censorshin cannot under any pretext be permitted . Immediately after the vote ofthe Constitution , the election of a President is to be proceeded to , withont any delay being permitted to take place . And then again , without delay , the Assembly ia ta proceed to tiie discussion of the _oroanic laws required to complete the Constitution .

      _FSrOBESS OF tue gouktee-rev . - > ltjiion . On Wednesday the project of decree for there-establishment of the duty on meat at the eate 3 of Paris was adopted after some discussion . The _Assembly next proceeded to disenss a proposition of M . _"Wolowski , tending to abrogate the decree of the * 2 ad of Mareh last , which had fixed the duration of labour at ten hours per day . M . Piebhe Lzbodx read a long address , expressive of his admiration of the decree in question , fie _declared that he should oppose the bill now brought forward , as patting an end to a boon loudly called for by { he vicious organisation of the present social _condition of tha people . In the course of hh addres ? _, he referred to the services of Louis Blanc , who , he said ; had been driven from the Assembly by a coup He majerite . { Loud disapprobation . ) The honourable member was going on , declaring that Louis Blano had been thevietim of his enemies , when _l

      _ThePsssiDESt _calhd him to order , decaring that he could not permit tiie honourable representative to state , without _contradiction , that any aet of the Assembly waa the effect ofa coup de maforite . ( Hear , tear ) ¦ k M . Piesbs Ixaavx still continued his enloginm of louis Blanc , declaring that that eminent citizen then shone by his absence from the tribune . * ( Oh ! oh !) Then , alluding to tiie condition ofthe working classes , he maintained that they were ill-treated in franco , in England , and is Belgium ; that the neglect evinced re _' ative to them sometimes amounted to brntality _. and that even massacres had been perpetrated against them . He then argued that to work -more than ten hours per day was mott deleterious

      to health , and ought not to ba permitted . He then branched ont into an inquiry as to the position of the working classes—[ cries of' question , question , ' marks af impatience )—and he' came to the conclusion tbat _aofficient time was not accorded , by . the present state of things , to tiie working c ? a _*» es , for their moral and intellectual improvement . The Provisional Government had _. _'ha said , promised a number of measures for the amelioration of the position ofthe working population-. ¦ The present was one of them ; and yet jiere was tbe present government consenting to have the short hours accorded to thera now revtked , and the old system of servitude re-established . It was by association only , he sard , that the immortal motto of their forefathers—liberty , equality , and

      fraternitycould be realised . The State was now the protector of all social order , whioh was _threatened to be changed fry the individual _effortsof each of ita members . The State should act the part of an intelligent gendarme . ( General laughter . ) The decree which had bees the subject of opposition could defend itself : the laws ought to prevent any attack against tha dignity ofa man as against his existence . The State waa instituted to interdict homicide , and what people conld tolerate such a crime ? A nation was so much the mora civilised and the more enlightened as it esta blished degrees and _distiEctions of homicide . ( Oh ! ok !) The- opponents of the decree attacked , asked what homicide conld be found in the proposed measure ? To that question the honourable depnty

      replied by drawing a vivid picture of all the _misfortunes which had been caused during the last fifty years by the frightful massacre of what was called industry—{ laughter )—and then proceeded to point out the excessive misery and corruption of the working classes . ( A voice : That is calumny ); corruption and misery , which were , he said , the result of the excess of labonr . The homicide being , he said _, proved , where , he would ask , wera the delinquents ! They were *) be fonnd _everywhere where there were men who encouraged this species of homicide , caused by the excess ef labonr . The honourable gentleman proceeded to further develops that idea , his ar guments being repeatedly met with loud murmurs by she Assembly . Alter treating the question in a

      political and philosophicalpoiat ef view , he declared his intention of next considering it in an economical one , bnt , belt-redoing so , begged to be allowed to rest for few minute * . On again resuming , he went back to the state of society _nhder the Roman empire , and -came gradually up tothe present time , and reproduced bis theory of net revenue , ( _jfunnurs ) He made quotations from tbe writings of modern economists—Ricardo , Halthus , Necker , andCDnpinand pointed ont tie very low average waies of the -workmen in France , aad the expense of their living . He afterwards passed on to the definition of property , aad thence to that of capital which he designated as -the abase of property . The interest which the capitalists drew from his _meney was that whioh was the

      tnoit revolting to every notion of morality asd of equity . { Loud murmurs . ) Christianity was , he aaid . on tbis point , ii accordance with the old laws of France , which applied the penalty of death for usury . _Homaintained that , if the existing laws permitted an interest to be derived frem money , it was a simple concession made by the State ; bnt it was that nnfortunato concession which was the cause of all the sufferings nnder which the people Jabonred . _^ The _heccurable'deputy having now arrived at his last sheet , it was tha signal ofa bunt of satisfaction from the Ae 3 embry ; but when , on his concluding it , he drew from beneath- the tribune _anether nana * script , mora voluminous than the first , that satisfaction was changed into a general murmur of impatience . .

      ...... The _Pbmibest announced that the hononrable deputy , feeling fatigued , had demanded that the remainder of his speech should be deferred till the _fgllawingday . ., _t . . The observation of the President was received with a general exclamation of 'No , no , ' and the Chamber being consulted , decided that the speech _aboJd be terminated before the Assembly rose . _Thecfeaker attempted to proceed bnt failed to do so from exhaustion , and tae Assembly _penwYering Ut

      refusing t 9 adjourn the discussion , he was compelled to withdraw . A . M . Dwpk then spoke against tha Ten Hours decree . The debate was then adjourned . On Thursday Baron C . Dcpin spoke at great length ; ia opposition to Pierre _Leronx . His speech _consisted of tbe usual string ef fallacies and falsehoods so often delivered by the rascally political economists of Eigland . M . Skhabd _, Minister of the Interior , said that M . Alcan had brought forward an amendment whieh he had previously submitted to the government , to limit

      working boon to twelve hours a day as a maximum . Ont of fifty-eight prefects consulted , fifty -two had sent replies tbat twelve hours would perfectly suit tha case . In consequence , the government would _acquiesce in the amendment alluded to . M . Leon Fatjchie ( a friend of Cobden ' s , ) ex . _pressed his am prise to see the Minister of the Interior fiJIowiDfr 'n the steps of M . P . Leronx . ( Great noise . ) les , he repeated it , in the steps of that hononrable gentleman : for if M . P . Leronx _Enppr-rted a system of restriction in favour of the classes , M . Senard did the same , thongh in a less degree . ( Agitation- ) _ ¦

      M . Gambos entered into a defence of the doctrines of M . Louis Blanc . The debate was brought to a close at the sitting on Thursday . . M . Pascal Dbpiut , the reporter , having summed op the arguments brought forward en both sides during the discussion , concluded hy declaring that though he fully maintained the conclusions of his report he should propose to send back to the Committee on Labonr whatever amendments had been proposed , in order that the committee might examine tbem maturely and make them the object of a new report . The PawiBKNr read the several amendments , and they were all referred as proposed .

      On Friday the Assembly discussed the project of decree for tbe re-establishment ef arrest for debt abolished by a decree of tbe ex-Provisional government on the 9 th of March last M . Wolow & ki combated the measure , as opposed to morality and the interest of trade itself . M . Cremieux demanded the maintenance of the decree of the late government . M . Senard , the Minister of the Interior , supported the project of its revigal , contending that the maintenance of imprisonment for debt was indispensable in commercial matters , although it might in other respects be abolished . In conclusion , he proposed that the Assembly should admit the principle , reject the abrogation of the decree of the 9 th of Mareh , and refer for examination to the Committee of Legislation the numerous amendments to the decree . A division having been railed for , the abrogation of the decrea of tbe 9 ch of Marcb , 1848 was decreed by a majority of 456 to 237 votes . The Assembly then adjourned .

      THI STATE OP BUGS . M . LeichteBberger had _propoied to have the state of siege taken off before discussion on the constitution ; the committee on legislation recommended to put the proposition aside .. On Saturday this question was discussed , wben Ledru Rollin delivered an excellent speech . General Cavaignac replied , and defended the state of siege as necessary . On a division , M- _Leichtenberter ' _s proposition was rejected by 529 votes against 140 .

      MH _. TIABT MV 1 BW . Paeis . Sunday Evening . — The review-of troops and National Guards in the Champ de Mars is the event of tbe day . The number of troops appeared _extraordinary . It is said that there were from 70 000 to 80 000 soldiers onthe ground . The weather was magnificent . There was no manifestation of enthusiasm , or of any particular feeling one way or the other , _TheDAttTNswa of Wednesday contained the following : —

      Mokdat . 630 pm . — Considerable agitation , has prevailed to-day in the government , in consequence ofa proceeding on the , part of tiie National ' Guard yesterday , which , it is bow undersroed , waa intended as a protestation , by a large majority of . that body , against the head of the government . Although tbe National Guard was invited to attend the review in great force , it was fonnd tbat not more than 300 din mustered for each battalion , in one battalion the number was nnder 250 . This rebuke , proceeding from * _-uch a body , has beea keenly felt , and has given serious uneasiness to the head of the government . It is generally understood tbat several causes of _dissatisfac tion have led to this species of negative demonstration ; the first and principal is the offensive ex

      _pressions used by General Cavaignac against the legitimist party , and particularly against some legions of the National Guard , whioh he affirmed were conspiring against the government . The second cause was that the government abstained from contradicting a report , which was generally circulated _,, ofthe arrest of two high military functionaries , understood to be Gen . Lamoriciere , Minister of W ar , and Gen . _ChargarniVy _Commasder of the National Guard . The third cause assigned , was the _dissatis faction produced by the distribution of the crosses of the Lesion of Hononr among the legions of the National Guard . To whatever ' extent any or alt of thes 9 causes may have baen operative , it is certain tbatnothing soserious haa occurred to disturb the serenity ofthe executive power since the insurrection has . been suppressed .

      THK WAS AGAINST THE _PBSSS . Pabis _, Monday . —The Pkjehs this morning continu . es its silence , but , in the front ofthe paper , in gigantio type , such as Grandgonsier wonld have selected to teach _Gsrgartna his alphabet , tbe _Passss gives an extract from one of Armand Marrast _' _s articles in the National , written in 1831 . The present President of the National _Assembly _ea'd then , ' Shame on the craven writer who abandons his duty because he cannot perform it withont danger . ' Signed 'Armand Mamst . ' And another extract follows from one of Armand Carrel ' s articles , * Such a regime shall never be called , with our consent , the liberty ofthe press—Armand Carrel .

      M . Colfavrn , editor of the Psaa Dochkshx , was among the insurgents sentenced to transportation who were conveyed from Paris te Havre on Saturday night . The indomitable Pkoudhoh has brought out a new journal entitled the Pecks ; on Monday it was seized at all the news venders . A body of police went along tiie boulevards to-the Palais Royal , everywhere , in fact , where newspapers are sold , and took possession of every number .

THB CONSTITUTION—OBflANIC _^ LAWS . On Monday tha Assembly decided , by 586 to 154 , thatit wonld not separate until it had voted the organic laws . The general discussion en the Constitution , properly so called , then commenced , and was far from presenting anything of _interest . - The arguments brought forward on several ofthe principal points , such as the utility of one or two chambers , the election of the President by universal suffrage , & c , were mere repetitions of what haa been already said in the discussions before the committee and in the bureaux .

      The discussion of the Constitution wai continued on'Tuesday . Amongst the speakers was . Pierre Leronx . who atthe close of a long speech , said he ff jeeted the constitution because it contained no principle , no truths , capable of . disarming parties , and because it maintained monarchy under the name of a presidency . M . Leronx suggested that the constitution should be radically amended in its essential prescriptions , lest it Bbonld experience the fate of preceding constitutions , and like them remain a sheet of waste paper ; _^ '

      ITALY . THS CAM , OT VS _5 IGK . The Political Circle of Yenics issued a proclamation to the Italians on the 19 A ult :- * The Italy of the 22 _ad March , ' it says , ' is on the brink of the abyss , bnt is not yet lost . A nation of twenty-four millions of souls cannot perish unless it be by its own fault . Forward then ! Let erery man join the standard of independence , and rally round the heart of the peninsula , round Venice , the vigilant guardian of Italian hononr , an impregnable citadel , against which tha rags of the barbarians shall prove unavailable .

The people should armand rush to the field of battle , and extermififtte the barbarous oppressor of Italy .

      GERMANY , Berlin is in a very disturbed state . In addition . te upwards sl aixty-five persons already arrested for joining in the outrages ofthe 21 st . several popular leaders were oaptured on the 28 th ult .

      . , * v / HUNGARY . . Letters from _Pesth of the 25 th nit ., in the Baas . Iiaobb Zeiiuko , bear witness to . the sad condition of the Hungarian affairs at Peathand on the scene of war . Treason , anarchy , and cowardice seem to be the order of the day among the Hungarian troops . They were twice beaten near Lagerdorf by a body of insurgents of nearly half their number , and fled in a paroxysm of fright and anarchy . The commander of a Hungarian force in the vicinity refused to protect or to rally the fugitives . The insurgents have likewise driven the Hungarian troops from the town of Weisskirchen , but the latter , being reinforced by some regiments , returned and reconquered the town , all the Raizish inhabitants of whioh were butchered by the Hungarian ' s . . In spite of all these cruelties , the insurgehtskave obtained signal advantages , and are daily gaining ground .

      THE WAR IN THE CAUCASUS . -RUSSIAN _KEVKHSr _. S . The Paris correspondent of the Times says— ' I have been informed , on what I consider the best authority , that the Russian army in the Caucasus , commanded by Count Woronzow _, has been literally cut to pieces by the Chieftain Schamyl . Thia is not the only disaster of the Russian army . It is also said , that of 14 , 000 men who formed the _RnsBian corps which entered rValachia , 1 , 800 have died of cholera .

      POLAND . , ADDRESS OP _THB ; POLISH _EMIGRiTIOtf . [ The Central Committee of the Polish Democratic Society , ia France , having learned the decision of the German Assembly at _Frankfort-on-the-Maine , in consequence of which . decision the Grand Duchy of _Posan is to be partitioned , has issued the following address to the _German People . ] People of _Girmany I ' _Jwifce / _or-PoIawi /• was theory which resounded from yonr . _bawicadea ; - aad , behold , your representatives pronounce tbe sentence of another partition of this vast conntry ! , Will ; you suffer it ! No ! « i ¦¦ ¦ _' ¦¦¦ _-- _' ¦ _¦

      For you would shrink frem becoming an executioner more cru _; l than the old hangmen of Poland ; from cutting Into pieces what that _robber-congress of Vienna spared- — even though tobe the victim of their rapacity and ambition—tbat in bo- _dotsg you might appropriate a part to _yonmlvea , and throw the other part lor . prey to the greedy Muscovite ! Ts it because your colonists have settled themselves on the Polish soil , , protected by the hospitality of its indlgenons inhabitants , whom they _afterwards repulsed , and took possession of a part of their-territory ; is It because German legions dame to oppress . the Poles with a foreign yoke : _becausB _Osrmaa jiurneymej flicked _tqgethsr from rtmote ' _-countrias . to trcct-fortresses against the Pullih patriots ; Is it because thousands ' of the bailiffs of

      an odious government ,, with their families , fell upon the fields delivered to their , rapacity , and satiated themselves with the blood and the . labour of-the native race ; is It because tbey _. _Tthemselvfia counting the rotes which we ' re to decide upon the maintenance of their _injnstlbe , _falsified their amount . "compelled , people tovoto according to their purpose , violating thus , their consciences ; is it on acoouat of such deeds tbat a province , acknowledged as Polish , that iff to say , constituting an integral part of a vast empire basely torn , to pieces ,, and which , accerdlog to yonr ' own acknowledgment , has an Indisputable right ot reconstructing its indtpmdeneel— . is It on that account thatit is no longer to . . belong to Poland ? And if , In virtua of your'premiseB _^ Poland were to _rlsa to-morrow , must she iacla . de you among her . plundirers and amongst her most Implacable enemies ? •¦

      Would _youjPeople of Germany , prefer to be our enemy —prefer to be _> confederated with .-our tyrants ?

It was not this that the real Interpreters of the People ' s will promised us when , -penetrated by the spirit of revolution , thty assembled and first pronounced on the new mount Tabor those wordsof peace , of justice , of brotherhood , and of projresB , with which _. regenerated Germany saluted the new . yonth of the world 1

      Honour and gratitude to them !

      Already has the avenger made bis appearance , cajlllng to the millions of Slavonians awakened amidst yon hy the appeal for _independence . If Poland were alive , she wonld have remained deaf to hia ' call ; she would have exposed her breast to tbe blows destined for yon ; she would have turned her brethren of German Slavoniafrom the walla of Vienna and Berlin , and wonld have led tbem under tbe flag of mutual freedom against tbe Czarian despotism , sad thus she wonld have served aa a link of j _' thatfraternal chain whioh . sought _ftfonite the East with the West of _Earopa in a common progress . Ton helped

      • THK IRISH MBBIIROS—niMHHSK 8 X 0 _ITSMEST . The meetings in coanexioa with the Irish move mentis America were going oni wiih more intensity _toan ever , and the most _exaggerated reports were in circulation respecting the successes of the Irish . As a proof of this , the correspondent of the Tribune has it that , at the affair of Slievenaihon , 'the people had a great victory . General Macdonald was killed , and 6 , 009 of the British troops were killed and w _, oanded . _Th-ee miles pf theroad were aaid to have been entered with dead . Kilkenny and ' Limerick were taken by the people . The citizens of Dublin went in thousands to assist the patriots I Dillon and Meagher were wonhded , and it was expected that

      Dublin would rise and attack the gaols on Sunday , August 6 _* . h . ' Not only this , but the _Tkibukb ' s corre _* pondent adds : — The 3 rd Buffs turned and fought with the people ; all the people on the railroad were cautioned and . commanded not to , tell the news , and the police drove away those who asked questions . ' It is no cause of wonder that , with such stirring intelligence , an additional impetus should have been given to the agitation . Large meetings have been held in Philadelphia , Boston , and New York . At one meeting , held in the lait-pamed city , 'It is impossible , ' says tbe Nsw York Heraid _, * to describe the intense _feolings o _) hatred wbich each doaor breathed against England , as he banded in his money . '

      Mr Greeley , editor ef the _Tbibunk , ia repotted by the Herald to have said : _—« T he humbler classes in particular are bound to contribute , as this was a struggle carried on for the poor aaainst the rioh , not only in Ireland , bnt in Scotland , England , and everywhere . ' Mr C . _O'Cannor read lists of sums received from different planes since the previous meeting , amounting to 4 , 027 dollars . ' Nearly 6 . 000 dollars were raised at the olose of the raeetiHK . Mr E . Robinson described his tour with Mr _Mitchel ' _s brother through' Western New < York , together with their meetings at Buffalo , ' Osvvego , Syracuse , Utica , Albany , Qanandaigua , dso . i and then ei 8 t to Hartford , M , The collections raised at all those meetings having hee ' n ' about 5 , 000 dollars .

      : ; An _immense meeting was held on Monday , Aogust 21 st , in Vauxhall Gardens . New York . Lont _* befare the hour of meeting , which was fixed at eight o ' clock , tbe various streets leading to the place ol meeting were thronged with people , who were hastening to give expression to their feelings onthe late events wbich have taken place in Ireland . On the motion of General Walbridgo , Mr Bartholomew O'Connor was called tb the chair . The speeches , which take up more than three closely printed columns of tbe Trid ' u ' w _* b , may be con _densed as follows - '—The language was violent as _language could be ; . ev ( ry word against England wae received with uproarious cheering , as also anything relating to the proposed invasion of Canada .

      Mr O'Connor announced that the following sums had been received : —Verplanok , 111 dols . 50 cents , Mill River , Mass ., 26 dols . ; Bangor , Me ., 320 dols . ; Hartford , Conn . 412 dols . ; an American lady ,. from _Frovidenco , 5 do _' s . ; ( this amount was hailed with three che > _rs)—Newburg , * 76 , dols .: Emmfttt Club , New Orleans , 350 dols . ; Auburn , N .

Each of these announcements , particularly that irom Charleston , was rapturously applauded ; and secretaries immediately afterwards received the sub ' _scriptibns ot the meeting , which were handed up with the same liberality and enthusiasm as ai the former meetings . ' '*

      . At this stage of the meeting , William H . Mitchel , brother of John Mitchel , appeared , when the deafening shouts of the people rang through the spacious hall , and thousands of voices called for 'Mitchell Mitchel ! ' He said—* My friends , we have two very _important accounts since the sailing of the last steamer . We are told by the English papers that the revo ' ntion had been subdued by a few police , while there is a censorship exercised over the Irish press _. Wears told that Smith O'Brien has Had ; but that is a lie , from tbe fact that he is represented to have fled in three different directions . By the news of tbe hat steamer it was stated that Meagher , Riley , and other ? , bad fled , and the police' were after them , for the reward which had ! been offered for their ' _atrest ' . Eut ttiat is not so , for they were organising clubs .

      That ' a man conld ; liei- 'in ! . ' ambush for twenty-four hours is impossible , if there was nothing more to be done than to find hira . ' We are told that 40 . 000 men had been sent to Ireland to suppress the _insurrection * , but if the people could be subdued by Inspector . Trant . it was a useless proceeding . Nothing iB said by the English papers about the _whereabouts of Dillon and Meagher . With regard to . the letter received last , I ean tell you it was not written with a view to deceive , for the young man who wrote that letter would not be guilty of 6 uch a thing , though , in the excitement , while the reports Were _comisg into Dablin , it might be less than there stated . I hope no ene will discredit that matter / for it was truth '; while the statements in the English paperB ' are & tissue of falsehoods . ' Mr M . took his seat amid the ' vociferous shouts of the assembled multitude _.

      Mr Miten then appeared , and presented 100 dol * law from the Mitchel Club . The Irish Felon Club here entered with drum and fife , bearing a banner with the following inscription : — '

      IRISH FBLOH CLUBS , 'Hereditary bondsmen ! know ye not , Who wonld be free , _tnenuelvi a must strike the blow V and presented 200 dollars . . A contributioa ol 100 dollars from the Tailors ' ( Mitchel ) Association . 7 , 000 dollars were collected before the meeting separated . _,

      EXCITEMENT ra COMMERCIAL _CIRSLBB . . ! . , New" York , Aug , 20 , iSix p . m . —The past week has been One of considerable exoitement in _^ political cirelee , and it has not been withont Us effect npon financial affairs . ; A few days previous to the arrival of the steamer , the publio mind became very mucb excited in relationito the anticipated revolution in Ireland , and business operations were , in a great measure , suspended . Quotations for stocks of all kindsreceded , and there _wasa very general disposition exhibited to wait the receipt of further intelligence from the other side , _^ . t an early hour yesterday the steamer was telegraphed , and immediately after the receipt of papere . an Extra Hkbaioo spread the news into every section of the city . Politically , the account

      s were considered by a portion of our popn latum rather unfavourable , and many were evidently disappointed . It was expected : that the revolution in Ireland would have been in successful progress at the departure of the Cambria ; instead of which a small fight with a few constables was all that had taken place up to that time . It ia impossible to tell the aotual state of things in Ireland at thelast dates as our sources ef information are principally English , and , of _oourse much _prejudiced . It would appear , by those acoounts , th & t the revolution was geinv baokwards ; . that the prospeot of a general riBing of the people was becoming less every _, day , and thatthe arrest of the _leaders , would : put an end te thb , whole movement ; but such is not due _jminion _. _^ aB . we can not oelievethatBuchan extended , iuch an

      imnortBnt , and , so far as we can judge , on _theipartof the masses , such a determined movement can be ciushed bo easily . Whatever may bs the -intention of the leader * , the people are honest , and if properly led , will obtain redress for the many _wrings heaped upon them . _ There is evidentl y some controlling fulluence atwork upon the masses ; whether for _gooa * or for evil remains to be seen . That influence Was exerted successfully at _Ballinisavry , and _wenavenoooubt _.-at many otner places . It may be that it is not considered time yet for the general rally , and the . people have been prevailed upon , by those in whom they bave conndenee _, to wait patiently the appointed period ; but they are losing the most favourable moment , ana giving the government time to prepare for the worst . We shall not be kept in suspense much longer .

BeTere "wWent _, resulting in severe pjury to several persons and in an immense deatruovum of property , took place at an early hour on Tuesday morning near the Leighton Buzzard station on this line of railway . The _ciroumstanoeB may be briefly described as loiiows . ' --Ihe Leighton station ia distant from London 40 J miles ; within about five hundred yards north of the station , the _Linslade tunnel , a quarter of a mile in length , in entered , and about three hundred yards north of this tunnel is the Linslade ballast pit , whence a large portion of the gravrl used in _keeping up the southern division of tho line is obtained . Shortly after two o ' clock on Tuesdav _mornine a train

      of ballast carriages , belonging to Mr _Mad-f-an , the contractor for the permanent way , left Woiverton , and proceeded np tko line as far as Leighton _B'ation . Having taken water here , the driver , Martin Cole , _oroased from the up to the down line , and returned through the tunnel to the ballast pit for the purpose of taking in a load of gravel for conveyance to _Berkhampstead . There are two Bidings running into this pit , and in consequence of neither one of them being sufficiently long to contain the whole train , Cole detached some portions of the waggons , and placed them in the siding , and then returned for the ether portion ofthe train , left meantime upon tho main down line . He had just got back on to the main line , and was about to couple his engine to the

      remaining waggons , when the 12 30 a . m . luggage train , from Camden-etation , came through the Linsdale tunnel at a treat speed , and the next instant ran into his train of empty _waggonn , crushing the break van into a thousand pieces , and strewing the _waggons about tbe line in every direction . The engine and tender of the goo ds train were thrown off the rails and driven nearly on to the up line , while several of the goods waggons were entirely destroyed , and their contents strewed about tbe railway . At the same moment , scarcely allowing time for thoBe few parties present to recover themselves from the shock occasioned by the accident , the York mail came up at ita usual speed , and no _signal of the obstruction being displayed , the driver , Daniel _Robb , ran headlong into

      the debris occasioned by the previous collision . Tho effect ut thia second collision was to throw the engine and tender of the mail train completely across the down line , and crush , more or less , several of the succeeding carriages . The escape of the driver and stoker was perfectly miraculous . The former was , however , severely injured , and is now lying at Leighton , but the stoker appears to have been thrown by the force of the _ooncussioa completely over the ruins of the broken carriages and waggons—described by an eye _witneBB to have been between twenty and thirty feet high—on to tbe embankment on the down line , where he alighted comparatively unhurt . The first carriage behind the tender in the York train was a Midland Company ' s break or parcel van , which

      consists of a compartment at either end for the conveyance of _luggage , and a small box in the centre in which the guard sits ; This break , as [ well as tbe parcels van succeeding it , was crushed to pieces , and Tucker , the under guard , remained bnried in the _tuins <> f the former fer more than two hours in spite of every effort made to extricate him . His head and chest were fprtunalely at liberty , and therefore , although Buffering great pain , his strength was kept np by administering stimulants until his extrication was at length accomplished , The- first compartment of the second class carriage which followed the parcels van was entirely destroyed . A man and woman , with two children , who were riding in itwere miraculously

      , preserved . The passengers on tbe train of course all suffered more or less , but no injuries beyond a few slight cuts and bruises appear to have been sustained by any of them ; a fact whioh , when all the circumstances ol the accident are taken into _cenaideration , may be fairly considered miraculous . : Fears are _entertained that Ross , . the driver of the York train , " has suffered some internal injury . Tucker , the under guard , . is better than could hav ? been expec'tedV _pbhsidering the . awful position in whioh he was so long plaoed . A valuable pointer _do-jt _, _balonging to a gentleman in the train , which was under Tucker ' s care , in the break , had its hind leg completely out off by the collision .

      Aroong . tbe ruins of the luggage thera was discovered , shortly after the accident , a barrel of gunpowder , thejitop of the cask having given way and ( _iesolosed its dangerous contents Ic was described by the direction as full of butter . The company have a clue to the party by whom it _wsb sent , and it is to be hoped they will visit him with the severest penalty the law allows . The bare contemplation of what miuht have been the consequence of this breach of the law is dreadful ..- . - . , _Reposal o _^ ' ma _jfuRY to * jind a . Vbr » ict . —Yesterday itho jury in ' this case . _reaBaemukd at the Town-hall , LanbaBter , when the foreman said they bad considered the case duly and truly over , and oould not oome to a decision . It rested with the coroner , therefore , to exercise his prerogative of ordering their discharge , or directing them to , be locked up without meat or drink till they agreed , wbich

      _ihey hoped he would not think of doing , as thera was not the slightest probability of their coming to a verdict , however long . they might be detained . The coroner said he was sorry hehad no power to order _thefrdischarge . The j _ury were then given in charge to tbe bailiff of the court , with the usual caution . After being incarcerated ah hour and a half , they sent to say that they were as much divided in opinion as ever / and likely to remain so . They were then bound over by the coroner , in the sum of £ 10 each , to appear wben called upon at the next assizes . Ic ia said thit five v » ere for returning a verdict of ' Ac . cidental death , ' and seven for finding Morris , the driver ot the _express train , ' Guilty of manshughter , ' on the ground chat he had not used sufficient c'ution in approaching the station wbere the accident occurred . _The decision , or rather no decision , of the jury has excited a general feeling of dissatisfaction _, i *'

      The report of Captain Laffan , the government inspector , as to the causes ot _tbe accident ( after a lent-thy statement of the case ) , thus concludes : — 'By _ihwcilljsion one third-class passenger , a woman ! waa killed"oh tWi _^ bt _. _ind'sevefalpcrsonaweite ' _iti _jured _^ _someBQseverely * that it _isfeafedthey may not recover , i Sqi _' _ipahy _^ cahsBs ' cdmbihed to produce this catastrophe that it is not' easy' to 'determin 6 to ¦ which to give precedence . I Bbonld say that those _causes were —1 . The _lateneiB of the _express train and its starting so soon after the slow lu _' cal train . 2 . The inefficiency of the signals on the line , j 3 The local train not keeping its time and taking no precaution when they knew they were late , and that the express was behind them . 4 , The uncertainty as to who is the rightful possessor

      oftheline , 5 . The want of a proper understanding between the Ltn ' caBter and Carlisle , and the lessees of the Lancaster and Preston Railway . 6 The rule which allows an express train , which often rnns at forty-five miles an hour , to ' pass a station only five minutes after a slow train . 7 . The want of sufficient Btation accommodation at Preston , cawing all the trains to the north to ' start'late . I wonld suggest that the two companies should come to a good understanding , and that every effort should be made to determine the right ownership of thiB railway ; that the _signals be immediately replaced by others of a better description ; that tbe _expreBB be not allowed _topasatill ten minates after the starting of a preceding train , and that means be taken to ensure , as far as possible , greater punctuality in the times of starting from the Preston station .

A number of poor starving creatures went to the strand for the purpose of searching the sand for a kind of fish called sand eels , with Which to appease the pangs of ravenous hunger . A small channel lay between these creatures and the sand bank ih which they . expected to get the fish . One of the hands of a craft that lay at the Pierhead took the ship ' s boat to ferry thera over . It was blowing a heavy gale at the time .
