It appears , acting on - tion which is now spread far and . wide for an obvious purpose , erdera were given from head quarters to make the search : and that it was industriously prosecuted , there cannot ba a second opinion . Erery room in the house was closely searched—every box openedevery escrutoire examined—every nook and corner explored ; but it is almost unnecessary to add that Eotbiog on earth was discovered that could throw the slightest light on the authorities , further than they have been already informed . None of the Cabermoyle family were at honw .

The Whstmba . h Ihobpendent says : — 'Considerable excitement prevails in the town , owing to the non arrival of the day oar from Dublin , ( via rail to Portaiington , ) which ia due at half-past three o ' clock yetup to this hour ( eight o ' clock ) has aofc arrived . The reports ol fighting in Tipperary have increased the alarm .

( From our own Correspondent . ) Dublin , August 1 st . I delayed my letter until this day , hoping to have something authentic , or , perhaps , something final , from the south to communicate . I am disappointed . I am as much in the dark aa I was on last Saturday , and the reports from the ' seat of war * are meagre , contradictory , and unsatisfactory . At one time wo hear that Smith O'Brien is insane , and asking his followers to carry him to the next lunatic asylum . Ths same report bant that J . B . Dillon is frightfully wounded in & scuffle with tho polios at Ballin . earry ^ that T . F Meagher is lurking in some of the caverns in the Slieveardagh eoliieries in the county Tipperary ; and that O'Gorman , M'Ghee , and others
of tho leaders of the movement , have taken their dopartoro for foreign countries . By and by we are told that , so far from Smith O'Brien being a discomfitted and deapairine madman , ho is at the head of a numerous ana well-armed body of men ; armed himself like a guerrilla chief , dressed in & splendid military costume of green and gold , and only awaiting the attack by his enemy to commence the bloody onslaught on the Saxon . Which of these reports to believe , puzzles the people of Dublin . They have no accurate information , and all is doubt , uncertainty , and impatience . It is certain that the Dublin newspapers , and particularly those who profess Libaral opinions , are suppressing the news which reaches them—giving only what is merely calculated to
dispirit the people , and allay excitement . This may , in their opinion , be a vthe policy , but certainly it is not fair dealing with the public , and particularly with the supporters and subscribers of those newspaper-. It is said that the Castle functionaries have gone the rounds of the still-existing Dublin newspaper offices , and issued strict commands against their circulating any matter , whether editorial or communicated , which might prejudice the government er inspirit the disaffected . This the Frbeman ' s Journal of this morning indignantly denies r but be the matter as it may , it is certain thac ^ he peo ple are enraged beyond measure at the manner in which the metropolitan papers are being conducted in these exciting times . Making all due
allowances for the critical position in which proprietors and editors of popular journals are situated , we still would expect better from them than what they give ns . They do very well indeed to shun that vortex , and steer wide of those crags whieh have already shattered every journal of any value in Dublin , but we expected that they would not pour forth their abuse on the brave fellows who are playing the game of life and death with the government , and whose only fault is that they loved Ireland too well , and appear to have miscalculated on the virtues , aud valour , and spirit of their countrymen . And yet those craven wretches ara acting in the very way which I describe . They seem to enjoy tho failure of the Confederates , and look very much like
the ass , who in the fable , amuses himself kicking at the dead lion . We hope , however , that we shall not belong without a good , manly-toned journal ; and certainly , any man of influence , and having capital snd spirit , wonld succeed admirably with a popular weekly , or even daily newspaper , in Dublin . I have said just bow , that we , in this oity , have no authentic intelligence from the south of Ireland . For all we know , we are treading on the verge of & volcano , or the spirit of tbe people is crashed and paralysed . It is certain , at all events , that the government is terribly alarmed , and do not look on their situation as complacently as some would fain represent . Every tide brings us a regiment or two from England , and they are scarcely permitted to
eat a meal of food or brush their jackets , ere tbey are packed off en the r & ilffiy to the south of Ireland . Two-thirds of the military in garrison here all the summer , are gone too ; and more are said to be preparing for moving this evening . In the three counties ef Kilkenny , Waterford , and Tipperary , there are n » w upwards ef sixteen thousand soldiers , besides several thousand policementhere being ten thousand of that number concentrated about the Tipperary mountains , where report sajs O'Brien and his handful of pikemen are wandering up and down . If this statement be true , does it not look very strange tbat they do not make a bold dash at the outlawed chief , and let some body or bodies finger the five hundred gold pieces offered by
proclamation for his arrest ? In my opinion O'Brien is not as defenceless or forsaken as they report . Some say he has not 300 men with him ; if this be true , how is it that 10 , 000 disciplined troops are cowed and kept at bay by 300 starving rebels ! Ic ia extraordinary , indeed . It is certain that up to Monday ( yesterday ) at noon , he waa at large , and how it is that in his reported defenceless state , he is suffered to remain so , is the great puzz ' e . Another day or two , however , most solve the mystery but at this moment no man in Dablin is in posses-ion of anything like satisfactory or conclusive information . I have to inform the conductors of the Northxrh Star that . their labours for Ireland ara well-known and appreciated ; and that tbeir journal will soon be
one of the most popular in this kingdom . It is inquired for now by hundreds who a short time ago were ignorant of its existence , and Feargus O'Connor bids fair to be the great favourite of the Irish people . I hear thousands speaking of him . every day , and wishing they had him in Dublin to lead that great party which will bs in OPPOSITION to the O'Connella . If Fergus O'Connor could now give up England and the English people , he would lead Ireland from the Causeway to Cape Clear , ,, «_ ,. Many are inveighing against tbe people of Dublin , and against the Dublin Confederate Clubs in particular . Tbey accuse them of cowardice , and of shrinking from a conflict which they had courted and tried to provoke . This is wrong and unfair . I know the Dublin men well- When the day of trial came , those who professed to lead the public mind fled from tho oity , and left the clubs withsut counsel , guide , or instruction . What , then , could those clubs do ? I hero
was nobody to say , * Out boys—follow me . ' Had any man oi known courage and braver ; issued thia appeal , it would have been reapended te , and Dublin before this would have strange stories to relate , and strange items to add to her historical annals . The Dublin men are net cowards . " I know there are a few fat Corporation blockheads , a few hundred hucksters and dairymen , and perhaps a couple of thousand old fellows-brainless , ignorant , and cowardly—who still cling to the disgraced and ruined O'Connell faction ; but , believe mo . the bona and B !_ ew , th © younv , intelligent , and _ i « h-mindeil men of Dublin are a * brave as any on God ' s earth . Let nobody then dare to say that the Dublin men are traitors or cowards . Toil will see the faotg connected with tho attack on tho Nation and tho Fbloa offices on last Friday , anu th » tyrannical suppression of those journals . They did not appear on Saturday . Tho Fklos m % in type | ready to go to press , and tho Nation imprcaxlon for tha woi k was nearly worked off , whoa tho wtit was

made , and every atom belonging to the papen aad printing concerns carried away to tbe Castle . Even the Pxnnt Irishman , and the National Guard—another excellent oenny publication—have been suppressed , and their proprietor , and editors are fled ftom Dub lin . Shaw , of Bachclor ' s-walk , I believe , was the owner of the Ibisbjun , and John M'Cormick , of Christohurch-plftce , waa proprietor of the National Guard—Mr O'Csllsghan , the author of * The Green Book / being , as I am Informed , the editor . I hear that all these gentlemen have left town .
I was looking at the attack on the F __ ok office on Friday evening . When I came up there was a small group before the door , from whom I learned that a party of police had entered , and proceeded to search the premises iU was supposed ) for arms . Immediately afterwards , two covered oars , laden with ' detectives . ' with pick-axes and shovels , drove up . They entered tbe office immediately , and commenced operations . Every nook and cranny was ransacked —the boards torn from the joists—the cellars and ground floor dug up with spades , and disfigured with crow-bars—jet there was not a single pike , or pistol , or bullet found . After continuing tho search for about five hours , a large truck , or float , was brought up , on which the press and printing materials of tbe concern were piled—much valued type being destroyed during its removal by the ignorant and rude policemen .
An immense crowd has by this time collected ; but was kept at a safe distance from the captured property by a cordon of about fifty policemen , with drawn cutlasses . Subsequently the whole was conveyed into the Lower Castle Yard , where it lies in the'keeping of government at present , The police are acting in the most ruffiianly and arbitrary manner . They are now armed with cutlasses , and their insolence knows no limits . The people are almost distracted . Most of them being of the dregs of the peasant population , too lazy to work , and having no means of subsistence but their police wages , ( hey make no scruple in performing any outrage which may gain them favour with their masters . I saw them this day driving away the
people from reading the placards giving a synopsis of toe contents of the morning papers , ansl which were hung at the doors of the news-rooms . On yesterday several men ( and some highly respectable gentlemen amongst tbe number , ; were carried before the poli ie courts for the crinrt of reading those pla < cards . I saw at one room in Dame-street the police acting in the most overbearing manner . Not a man dared stop to look on those obnoxious placards . The footway must not be crowded , nor tbe public progress be impeded ! And yet , on the opposite aide of the street , exactly fronting that reading room , was posted up the , Vice-regal proclamations , offering Saxon gold fer tbe arrest of the Irish leaders !—and , will it be accredited ? two hundred persons were ,
at the same moment , reading those proclamations , without impediment or binderance , or annoyance , Nobody can guess how events may terminate . A word—a shot—any' trifle light as air , ' may set the kingdom in a blaze of rebellion . And it may end in a bottle of smoke , after all . If O'Brien and hii leilow-ontlaws be taken , they will swing from tha scaffold at Newgate ; of this nobody doubts . There is bo hope that Daffy , Martin , and the rest , will have a fair trial , and , of caureo , those gentlemen . are already bracing their nerves to hoar the sentence of transportation pronounced against them ! We have terrific times in Ireland ! The weather is glorious and genial . The late panio about the re-appearance of the potato rot is gone down—the report being ill-founded and a most magnificent crop being nearly matured through the country , Excellent potatoes can now be had in this city for 61 . per Ulbs ., and it is thought that next
week they will not fetch more than half that price . In the meantime thousands are in state of halfstarvation and hopeless . Business is almost entirely suspended , nobody knows what may come next , and even those who have work to do , and wages to earn , are too excited and toe alarmed to apply themselves to their usual avocations . I hope to let you have a full , and interesting letter next week * Though the police in the towns , and the military in the country districts , are moving the very stones of the hig hways in quest of arms and ammunition , still , strange to say , tbey are not getting scarcely a single stand . There have not been fifty pikss discovered in all Ireland up to the present hour . A few guns and pikes have been seized in the public streets , but the search in houses and suspected places has been unsuccessful . The people are not disposed to give np their property , to gratify the whims , or allay the terrors of their enemies .

It was a matter of surprise to me . Every facility was afforded by tbe Company to the committee for the purpose ef examining into the matter , and I must also bear my testimony to thefaot that tbe resolutions were ceme to unanimously on the part of the committee , I decline entering into the general question at present , but I shall be perfectly ready to do so at the proper time , w _ en the evidence taken before the committee shall have been laid before
the bouse . Sir Benjamin H _ lt . : Having originally suggested to tha hononratls aad learned gentleman that a committee should be appointed for the purpose of inquiring into this scheme , and having attended during the sitting of the committee , I wUb to offer a few observations in reference to * hat has fallen from the honourable and learned gentleman and the chairman of the committee . I perfectly agree with them that every facility was given to tbe members of the committee to investigate the affairs of the Company ; but at tho same time , I cannot conceal from myself this fact , that tbe whole of the ori *
ginal accounts , as stated to have been audited by Mr Cnfiay and Mr Knight , tbe auditors of the Cempany , with tbe exception of the accounts for tbe quarter ending September last , December last , and Ksroh last , bare been destroyed . They were not forthcoming ; although I admit tbat , according to the data which were placed before the accountant nominated by ths com . mlttes , and whose appoiotmGnt was aoquiueei la by the hsn geatlenaa ( Hr O'Connor ) , there does appesr to be a balance due to the honourable and learned gentleman of £ 3 , 290 from the Company . Hr F . O'Cohkob : £ 3 , 400 .
Sir Bekjahin Hiix : One makes £ 3 , 400 , and the other £ 3 , 200 , but tbat is a matter of no importance . There is a balance , How , I think it would have been muoh more satisfactory to ma if the original accounts , as audited by the auditors of the Company , had been forthcoming . But as regards tbe practicability or Impracticability of the scheme , I think it is not desirable to enter into fthtt question at present . The hon . gentlemen ( Mr O ' Cuunor ) would probably bring forward a mea sure to carry out the objects of the promoters of tbe Company . It will be in bis recollection tbat on the 15 h of -larch I pat a question to bun , whether I was to distinctly understand tbe honourable and learned gentleman tbat if the bill then brought in should not pan , he intended to proceed to the complete registratieu of tbe Company , and the honourable and learned gentleman answered tbat it was his determination , If
tbe bill did not pass at once , to obtain complete registratlen ef tha Company . Now I hardl y think he will be able to carry out that promise . I wonld therefore ask him what course be intends to take with re « gard to registration ef tbe Company ! There Is another question I wish to put to the honourable gentleman . Be will recollect tbat the fea-etmple of all the property purchased with the funds of the Company is vested erclasively in bis name . AU the property is assigned to him . self and bis heirs , end no other person has any power with reference to that property . Tbe questions , then , I have to ask tbe hon . member arc , wbat be intends to do with regard to complete registration of the Company and whether he proposes to make over the estates which ara niw vested in bis name to those persons who , utder tbe rules of the Comptny , have received allotments , but for which allotments tbey have at present no title T
Hr O C bkob ; The honourable baronet , Sir , has gone more extensively into the question than I intended . If he bad read tbe resolution he would have found an answer to bis question , because it is there left to the promoters of tbe society to consider whether or no tbey wUl wind up the affairs of the society , or whether they will app ! y for en e _ temio _ of pewera from Parliament . As I have not had time to consult any one , and it baring been recommended by the committee tbat a meet * in ; of the shareholders should bs held for tke purpose of tbeir being consulted , I do think it is rather hard
tbat the honourable baronet should ask me to decide , where 70 , 009 are to have a voice in the matter . With regard to tha conveyances to those persons who have obtained allotments , it is rather strange that tbe honourable bar anet who attended the committee should have Be soon forgotten that I stated I was ready to transfer the property now vested in me and cry quits , making tbe Company a present ef my £ 3 , , and that I was prepared to act npon tbe suggestion of the committee , whatever it might be . I must say tbe honourable barone : has tried to confuse the accounts as much as possible .
Ths S- ___ : _ B here observed that , as there was so question before tke bouse , tke bon , gentleman could not make any statement . Hr H-Ttes tbea moved that the report be printed . Hr F . O'CoRKoa proceeded to say that tbe honourable baronet had endeavoured tocenfuse the accounts of tbe fiaaecial secretary of the company with his ( Hr O'Connor ' s ) own aoQOunts . The accounts for whieh ths balance sheets were not presented amoaited to about £ 3 , 000 . The amennt for which he ( Hr O'Connor ) was responsible was about £ 109 , 000 ; and the accountant declared before tbe committee that , after going over tbe balance sheets wit & the original documents , there was not a difference of two shillings between the printed documents and tne original balance sheets . His ( Hr
O'Connor s ) balance sheets , however , were sever signed by any auditors . Resolutions were signed by auditors approving of the vouchers and accounts laid before tbem , bat tbe balance sheets themselves were not signed by aay auditors , He might add , that be had furnished the accountant with vouchers for every item down to Sf . 6 d . Ha hoped that , although the honourable baronet ( Sir B . Hall ) might eideavour to be critical , he would not seek to give s false colouring to tbe evidence which was in print , and which every member of the bouse conlA read for himself . When tbat bosoarab ' e baronet promised a searching and rigid inquiry into tbe accounts of the company , he { Sir 8 . Hall ) was not pre pared for the result which bad been arrived at . He ( Hr O'Connor ) begged to remind tbe honourable baronet of the different course be bad adopted te that
which the boaooraele baronet bad pursued towards him . He ( Mr O'Connor ) bad received several letters from Wales , which he forwarded to the honourable baronet , informing him at the same tiaa of bis intention to put to him three questions , as to tbe management of a public fund , and of his own property ; bathe ( Hr O ' C ) had abstained from bringing tbe subject before tbe house , as he knew the honourable baronet was rather tender on tha point . He ( Hr O'Connor ) could assure the honourable baronet that be was not tender on the subject ef the Land Company , He would recemmend tke honourable baronet in future , w _ en be brought for * ward any question of this hind , to cenfiae himself to the eridencp , and to absndon the profession , which he seemed to have adopted , of general prosecutor in that home .
After a short conversation between Hr Bouvsbib , Mr HiTTEB , and Sir B . H _ r _ ( with reference to the opinions of Mr Finlayson , the aecountam ) , whieh was iai - dibleinthe gallery , Hr Or . Thoupjov said , he felt bound to state that while it was tbe unanimous conviction of the committee that but a very insignificant portion of tbe subscribers weald , within any reasonable time , become pes * gessed of allotments , yet that throughout the whale course of tbe investigation no complaint had been pre * feredby any one of the seventy theusand shareholders , sor bad any expression of disappointment proceeded from any quarter with regard to the manner in which
the allotments had been made . He might al ° o add , that no imputation bad b ; e _ thrown upon the motives of the promoters of the cempany ; and as to the practicability or impracticability ef tbe plan , Hr Finlayson's evidence distinctly awrted that the plani if legalised , would be perfectly practicable . Thereeort was then ordered to be printed . The L _ w of _ t _ 2 Bi _ a _ s . —In answer to Sir R . H . Ipatis , Hr S .

Saturday, Jolv "9 House Op Commons , — S...
dcrattttt the whole condition of the Established Churcbi as rszards its temporalities ; tbat sha will direct an Is . qalry to be made into the full value of all Church proporty under lease , and cause such measures to be prepared as may make tbe revenues of the Church more fully conducive to the religious teaching of tbe people . Tbo honourable gentleman , In tbe course ef his arguments , confined himself altogether to the temporalities of ths Church , as It was with tbat breach of eur ecclesiastical establishment that Parliament could most easily deal . He believed the revenues of the Charch amounted to a sum not less than £ 5 . 000 , 000 per annum ; bat „ i . though this sum was larger than that of any other Church in Europe it was nevertheless the opinion of
many people that it was not sufficient for the malntenance of the clergy . Considering how largel y tho Church was endowed , he thought i : was in a most inefficient condition , He believed that in no other religion could tboro be found such opposites of seal and indifference , learning and Ignorance , piety and heathenism , as in the Protestant . This might be seen by tbo publications of benevolent societies , and by many other channels and sources . The evil had certainly been remedied in part by previous legislation , and the Church had been recently raised into a eUgree of popularity and efficiency hitherto unknown ; but tbat great change could not be carried out unless they themselves took soma measures to put tbe machinery by which the system was carried
on into better coadUlen . Tbe hon . gentleman entered into a variety of statistics on tbe subject , and then proceeded to observe tbatfeU former maligna on the subject bad received tbe cordial assent of tbe house , which seemed to feel tbat ths view he took of the subject was the just one . If , therefore , those motions were free from objection , he fott confident his present one could be still less objected to . There never was a period when tbe Ecclesiastical system excited a warmer feeling throughout the country , or when tbe homes of Parliament were mere united on tbe eubjeet , Ho hoped , therefor ? , the government would consent to this inquiry , with tbe view of forming a comprehensive system of legislation on the subject . Sir E . Boxiow seconded the motion .
Lord J . RUSSELL said that tbe proposition of tke bon , gentleman was certainly one worthy of consideration , but at the same time it was encumbered with so many difficulties of a practical nature that tbey ought to be folly considered before the introduction of any measure on the subj set . He thought the main proposition of Mr Horeman well founded—that it was to tbe increased value of Church property they should look for tbe im . erovement of the incomes of the elergyand for tbe increase of spirit-al instruction . Wiih respect , however , to tbo immediate motion of tbe bon . gentleman , ho did not think it would be advisable for tbo bouse to present an address to her Majesty requesting her Majesty to direct an inquiry to be made Into tbe full value of all tbe Church property under
lease ; although be cbeold be quite ready to adopt such measures as would be likely to give a proximate estimate of the full value of such property , Oa a former occasion certain bishops and dignitaries bad refused to give any return as to the fall value of the church property belonging to tbem , aad he did not think tbe Grown ought to be placed in tbe unbecoming position of receiving a refusal frem the bishops and dignitaries , having no power of enforcing tbe necessary inquiries . He hoped , therefore , the bon gentleman would be satisfied with his assurance tbat he would consider tbe means bj which an inquiry could be made , and tbat be was entirely of opinion that the property of the Church should bs made more available for the purposes of tho Church than it was st present ,
Sir R . Ieslis said , the concession of the noble lord might well satisfy a more ambitious mind than tbat of the bon . member for Cockermoutb . He admitted tbe spiritual destitution of some portions of the metropolis , but it was the duty of Parliament te remedy tbat evil without resorting to other than legitimate sources for the
means . Aft r a discussion . In which Mr W . P . Wocr > , Hr Gout , stratr , and Hr F & ewen took part , Mr Hobshai * yielded to tke suggestlen ef the noble lord , and tbe motion was withdrawn , HrTJao , ohabthaving postponed bis noticefor compensation to the family of tbe late Lteatenant-Cencral Shrapnel until a supply night , the hoase adjourned .
WEDNESDAY , Anaos . 2 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The orders of the day for proceeding with tbe following bills were read and die . charged , wiih the intimation , as regards some of them , of their renewal in she ensuing session : —On tbe motion of Mr S , CaiwroiD , tbe Landed Property ( Ireland ) BUI ; on that of Hr Bbothebton ( for Lord Gsobtikob ) the Baksbonses Bill , Hr A .

Hall , who bad indorsed the bill In common with tbe noble lord ; on that of Hr PaoAK , the Life Policies Assurance Bill ; on that ef Mr _ uc KitTHOir , the Cruelty to Animals Prevention BUI ; and also on tbe motion of the same ton . member , tbe Smoke Prevention Bill , its provisions having been embodied in the measure for promoting the public health .
Sir W . Clay moved tbe second reading of tho Heme , dies against the Hundred Bill , its object being to afford compensation to parties wbere property might be do . stroyed in consequence of outbreaks and riots , in eases not provided for by tbe exUtlng law . After some discussion the bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed that day week , but with an intimation from Sir George Grey , who opposed the mea . sure in its present state , tbat there was no chance of its passing in tbe present session . TheSalaofBaer Bill having been read a third time , on the question that it do pass , Several amendments were proposed , which were nega - tired , and the bill passed .
After some opposition tbe Windsor Castle and Town Approaches Bill went through committee , and the bouse having resumed , other bills were advanced a stage , and the adjournment followed .

State Of Liverpool. (From The Morning Ch...
STATE OF LIVERPOOL . ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) Monday . —The state of this town is perfectly quiet , though preparations te meet any outbreak that may occur are still continued , and numerous persoaa are daily sworn in as special constables . The excitement occasioned by the clubs is fast wearing off ; nevertheless the frequenters of them are narrowly watched by the police , who seem to have pretty good information of all that passes in them . A very decided step is said by one of the Liverpool papers to have been taken on Saturday , by the trustees of one of the dock companies , who dismissed on that day 500 labourers from their employment , for refusing to be sworn special constables ,
A counter-petition to that lately sent np to London , and wherein the petitioners asked to have the Habeas Corpus Act suspended in Liverpool , has been handed about here for signature , and has already received a great number of names . ( From the Liverpool Mercury of Tuesday . ) The magistrates were at first somewhat in doubt as to their powers of apprehending Dr Reynolds aed other physical fsree advocates , who have figured away in this town for' some time past , but these doubts having been removed , warrant ) have been issued for their apprehension . Dr Reynolds was supposed to be somewhere in the neighbourhood of Birmingham , and an officer was despatched to arrest him , He hai , however , np to last , night , continued to conceal himself from the police . It is stated tbat Mr M'Manua and others of the leaders went last week to Dublin . They were , without knowing it , accompanied by a' detective , ' and Mr M'Manua was traced to his hotel in the Irish metropolis .
Last night the 46 th Regiment , encamped in the field on the north side of Breck-road , Everton . The novelty of tha sight attracted an immense concourse of spectators . A bout three o ' clock & company of the 6 th Dragoons arrived at the field : they were followed by the whole of the 46 th Regiment in military order , with baggage , & c . After being inspected by Major-General Sir W , Warre , orders were given for the erection of the tents , and in an incredibly short space of time a large number of them were pitched . There are upwards of 100 tents in all ; they are arranged in ten rows of ten each , and form a square . The officers' tents aro at the south end , and at some little distance tho < e for the Major-General and . Colonels will be erected .
At convenient distances aronnd the field large canteens have been formed , from which the rations will be served ; and on the north end of the encampment a shed , extending upwards of fifty yards , has bean erected by Meim Jones and Jnmp , of Pleasantstreet , for the Artillery and Horse Guards . Every necessary for tbe troops has of courae been provided . Each man , last night , was served with sixty rounds of ball . Upwards of COO of the local company ef pensioners , under the command of Captain Greig , were on duty from six o ' clock on Saturday __ orning to nine at night . Durinj the day they were inspected by Major-General Sir Wm . Warre .
Fatal Accident.—A Frightful Accident Occ...
Fatal Accident . —A frightful accident occurred on Saturday last to one of the guards of the London , Brighton , and South Coast Railway Company , of the name of Chase . It appears that after bringing up from Brig hton the train due at Lor . donbridgo at twelve o ' clock , he returned to New Cross , where he resided , to get his dinner ( having to return to Brighton in the afternoon ) , on an engine which was drawing some horse-boxes which had come up by a previous train from Drayton . As they neared New Cross the train was slackened , and the unfortunate roan sprang from the engine on to the platform , from whence he fell backwards , and the whole of tha train passed over him , crushing him in a most frightful manner . The poor fellow was an old servant , and much respected by those with whom his employment brought him into contact . He has left a very large family to lament his loss .
Police Tyranny and City Justice ' . —[ Copied I from the Standard of Freedom , July 1 st , ] A respectable person passing through Redcrossstreet , on Wednesday , the 7 th of June last , he was attracted by a handbill in the window of Cartwright ' s Coffee House , headed 'Brutal Outrage by the Police on Sunday last . ' Yielding to his feelings of curiosity , he paused tojjread the same ; but before he had concluded perusing it , a policeman reached the spot , and ordered him to move on ; ' conscious of having been guilty of no offence , he waa unwilling to compl y with the injunction , remonstrated with the official , and represented ho was not obstructing the pavement , or in any way violating the law . Upon this tho conaiablo took him into custody , and after the charge had been given at the station busc , he was taken before Alderman Gibbs , and fined 10 s . for Oio offence ! Such a monstrous act
of Injustice ou tho part -f the police , and injustice on that of the magistrate , is unparalleled . If redress cannot elsewhere bo obtained by the injured party , steps ought to be taken to bring the whole affair before tbo legislature . If actions such as these are allowed to pass unnoticed , there is no telling where it may end . The military force now in Ireland , including the i armed police , amounts to 45 , 000 men .
