IRELAND. {From the Times Correspondent.)

Dublin, July 3.*— The terrible consequents of the club system in Paris have caused much alarm, on account of the organization of a similar confederacy in this country. The connexion of the clubs with the proposed League of Young and Old Irelanders has beeH carefully k«ptoutof view in the terms of amalgamation circulated among&t the Roman Catholic bishops and clergy who are members of the Repeal Association; and, with comparatively few exception!, those prelates and clergy have given their adhesion to the League . But the leading Confederates and their organ, the Nation, boast that the clubs are to be the mainstay of the agitation in working out their revolutionary system. Under such circumitances, it is not surprii >

ing that many of the clergy now hesitate abou; committing themselves with so perilous a movement. Several of the Roman Catholic bishops have been all along decidedly opposed to the Repeal Association, as well as to the Confederation, and recent events hare increased their repugnance to the agitation, especially since the establishment of the club system. But it would appear that the new project of agitation is looked upon with disfavour by some of the Roman Catholic prelates who had been considered fa void able to the Rppeal whilst advocated on the " moral force principle " During the past week a number of the piula s have been assembled at the usual visitation at the Culiosje of Maynooth. On Monday last a meeting was held, which resulted in the subjoined highly im» portant declaration :—: — • " At j nue'ing of prelateb held in the College of Mayuooth, on Wednesday* the 2Sth of June, 1848, it was nerved that the following resolutions he re» publi hid :—: — | "fr x ract from the minutes of the proceedings of the Roma i Ca'holic Archbishops ..urt Bishops of Ireland, j nsstinhled at the Parochial -hou^e, Murlborough-stieet, Dublin, on the 23th of June, lS3i, the Most Rev. Dr. Jlu ra r presiding : — " unsolved — That our chapels are not to be need in future for the purpose of holding there ,i any public mcc iiig, except in casps connected \\i h chaiity or relig on, and that we do hereby pledge om»el\es to carry thU resolution into effect, in our respective dioceses. '• Resolved — That whilst we do not intend to interfeie with the civil lights ot those intrusted to our care, y«t, as guardians of rel'gion, juit'y apprcheudtnn that its general interests, ai well as the honour of the priesthood, would be compromised by u dcv ation from the line of conduct which we marked out tor ourselves and impressed upon the minds of our clergy in our jiasto al address of the year 1830 ; we do hereby pledge ourselves, on our return to our respectue dioceses, to remind our clemy of the instiuctions wj thten addressed to them, and to le "aimend to them most earnestly to avoid in tufure any illusion at their altars to political subj cts, and caiefullv to lvfiain fiom connecting themselves with political clubs — acting as chairmen or secretaries of political meetings, or moving or seconding icholutions ou siu*h ocra-ions ; in urdar that we exhibit oui selves in all things in the chai.icter of our s.icied calling;, as minis eru of Christ, and dispensers ot the uivbteiies of God. •' D. Murray, Archbishop." I haw learned that the meeting of Maynooth College was attended by fourteen bishops, including the Most Rev. Dr. Crolly, R C. Primate ; Archbishop Murray, Dr. lu>)wne, Bishop of Dromore; Dr. Ryan, Limerick; D». Ilaly, K:lo\ne and Lcighlin ; Dr. Denvir, Down and Connor ; Dr. M'Gettigan, Raphon ; and Dr. J. P. Grovvne, Elphin. The publication of those leswlmions, at the present juncture, will be " a heaiy blow and gieat discouragement" to the club agitation.

A very important movement against the club system has been made in the diocese of Killaloe, by the Roman Catholic Bishop, Dr. Kennedy, and his clergy. The follow in»' communication from that prelate appears in tne Dublin Evening Post :— " Deerpark, Sixmite-briuVe, July 12, 184S- " My dew Sir, — May I request you to publish the accompdnvi'ig deelara ion in the next number of the Evening Po t. I would have requeued it-^ public ition soo ier, but that it was necossaiy to wail fur answers from the sevoral Decimates to vhich it was foswa'ded (or the appicv.il et the clergy, many of who.n had ex {.reiseii an earnest desire that home *uch document should em mate from the diocese. ' I tend tiie mines of 57 from Kilrosli, Ennis, Broadford, and Biir districts, and wiH toiwuid the j remainder as s.>on as I shall have received tluua. •' I remain, my dear Sir, " Voui faithful servant, " t ?• Kennedy. " P. W. Onwuy Esq." "We, the Roman Catholic Bishop and the undersigned clergy ot i he diocese of Killaloe, ddem it a grave duty in the preset alaiming cr,sis of our ountry's (oitunes, candidly to dechre 10 our fellow-countrymen, as well as to our iuleii>, the principles by which we intent, with God's blesMnir, that our fu ure conduct 10 wauls both shall be steadily governed. " We hold, then, Ist, and befoie all, th^tas ministers of the Gobi el, and men, however unworthy of the exalted function, ' diBcharg'iig an emhapby for Cluist,' v.c cannot, e\en in the ptesent afflicting circum itances of our unhappy country, deliver to our people, or silently suffer to be delivered to them, uny other message than that whi"h we have been commissioned to deliver to th j m, viz , the Divine message of ii J euce, Pit'ience, and Chsuity. " We lioLI, 2ndly, tint next to the paramount interesta ot ieligion, and subsidiary theieto, it is, in an especial manner, our duty, as it is certainly our most earnest desire, to promote the social interests of our fellow-countrymen, in decided preference to those of any other people whatsoever. And we do, therefore, hereby pledge ourselves to them, that Uny shall hine our heaity co operation in any course not inconsistent with religious obligation, which they shall maturely alopt, for the laiiing up of our prostrate countiy from itb present degradation and misery. " We hold, 3rdly, that as it hqs been repeatedly confessed by even our rulers them-elves, whether they happen to be Whig or Tory, that it is to British legisla tion and British nmgovc nment that the unexampled wretchedness of Ireland is m a great measure, at least, to be a^Jiibed; and as, notwithstanding this huunliaUn£, and (we would fain believe) penitent confession of the enormous sins of their predecessors, we have looked in vain to cither piity, when in power, foi s ime compiehensiveand substantial leparationof our wrongs and our sufferings, it is but charitable to believe, that our endming and increasing miseries are owing, not to any unwillingness on their part to do us tardy justic, but to the utter incompetency of Englishmen to legislate beneficially for li eland. " We hold, therefore, 4thly, after an experience of nearly half a century of Imperial legislation, during which our ill-fated country has been continually sinking into deeper and still deeper misery, that a native Parliament alone can save Ireland from utter ruiu."

The Rn-' r. Leaders.— Mr. Mackey, parish priest of Clonou'iy has goue to Dublin to offer the governme'it a suritjaer or the Confederate leaders, provided their lives are spaud I shall probably be able to let you know in a postscript the result of the reverend gentlemaa'B mission, as he \a expected to return here by the half-past three o'clock down train. Father Mackey is the most influential and intelligent man among the Roman Catholic clergy of this district, and has, 1 l.elkve, used every effjrt to dissuade the people from engaging iv open rebellion. He made the proposition which has brought him to Dublin yesterday to Mr. Gore Jones, R. M., in this town, and by that gntleman's advice he proceeded at once to Dublin, to put himself in immediate communication with Mr. Redington and the Lord Lieutenant on the subject. I greatly doubt whether the government will accede to any proposal of the kind, and it is clear from the verj (statement of it that the insurgent leaders are reduces

to desperate straits. Father Mackey's jurisdiction indicates the direction in which they lurk, and it it probable that, without any compromise or condition, they will soon fall into the" hands of the authorities. It remains quite a mystery where Mr. OBrien was in concealment for the last week which elapsed between his appearance in firms at Boulagh^comuion and his capture on Saturday evening. There ib, however, the strongest reason to believe that his time has been spent within the lines which General iM' Donald had drawn on all sides to cut oft his escape, — probably in the neighbourhood of Urlingford, Johnstown, and Kilcoolie. He appears to have seen the Dragons sept after him to Urlingford, and also the two camps at Ballingarry and Thuiles. He knew that he must pass through some mili'ary outpoit to get free, and therefore he adopted the route of Tnuile*. as the least dangerous and most direct route to Limeiick and Clare. The rumouis so nulustiiously propagated to cover his retreat are now perfectly explained, and the respectability of the channels tlnough which they were conveyed gives some further proof, if proof wore wanting, of the deplorable amount of latent disaffection which exists in this country. Hones was it that he w»s reported to have been in the bilver mines, in order to draw General MacDonalds moving cJuma in that direction. Hence has originated the lvpoit that he lihcl sailed from the Gilway coisr for America, and that the satisfaction of his rehtima at his safe < scape wa» obvious in the expression of their f.tc -s. Bui the wary old General was not deceived His iar.Uuchons to every one were, "Look neir a1"a 1 " hand, bo on yom guard : all tins lying makes mo uvl ceiUni that he is not tar off." And so it has tun l ' out. It 15 said that when taken dow.i by car fron> U ldcwell to the- 1 ail way station on Satuitlav night, airl when lies.uv ilie Btieets deserted by tha people, he fxpr°a&t'd hniisclt bitt'rly on the want of sympathy which they evinced towards him. " They see me a state inisouer, and there is not even an expruss'on of sympathy. Very well, let things take their course ; when I am Ivingcd, and three or four of the other leadeis aie tiausp^rted, I ehnd will be quiet." These are reioaiLute words, and the future historian of this island iruy yet hsve to lt-cnl that results showed them to i>v txw.—l'unei C'uirespondent, August 10.

(From the Times, August 2.) Contrary to tbe rule of lush rt-porls, the battle of Boulagli lather giows in importance, it wab a ino^t brilliant and decisive afi'air. If there is any ifason in the Irishman's natuie, he ouj;lit to be tlunluul to liav • such a lesson betimes, and to see his wretched quarrel decided at once by s>o fair a pa-s >^c of arms. By way of improving the occasion, we will point out to him two or three circuuiitai.oes of a most edifying cluuacter, serving to show that the fifty first liish rebellion bavins; now failed like all the rest, only more piomptly and entirely, this may as> well be the last. At least, the fifty-second rebellion, come whjn it will, is not likely I to be much more successful. The Irish reader will not tail to observe that the police enjoy a monopoly ia the tnumph The 4 >,00'< [ soldiers who were lo be caught, lulled, and eaten, b\ Mr. Lilor, have not been allowed a linger in the pie. Horse, foot, and artillery c itm tumbling m afteiw.wds, just as, it has been often o'^eived, the t'Miipe->t begins to gathei at the last shot of a naval engagement.

Tiiey aio all li'Uhnu'n, did chiefly Rom in Catholics. It is a victory of liiahmon over liishmni, Papists over Pa]>ist; t and i', t'uref'/ie, happily unein )Utcied with relgious or national j.-a-busies. But— we beg all our readers to observe — it is a victory of Irishmen trained in the school of 1 >y&lty and dut. over Irishmen debauched and dumr.ih/ d hy disaffection and rebellion. Daly makes, 11 ense un makes, a man. Theie h soineih.ug to miKe one almost smile in the conliast pcacn'el by the two paities in this memof blc btru^le. Tin- I«i«.p 'ctor of Kilkenny receives news at midnight th»t the: t,,iuoi's have bebn proclaimed, and their appiehcnsiou commanded. Even at that hour he bound!» upon th>;m Ike the lion in the ancient ainphithtdtie, whin the career was removed. Within an hour his e\nesses arc scouring the country. By daylight 'ho foiCC undui his immediate command, and sevei.il o'her parties, are steadily advancing on the foe, and never h,\lt till they ate down upon him. Before tw-'lve ho. us the arch traitor is all but plucked ahve fiom the centio of 5000 pikemen, aided by a confide .vb c spiinUing oi ii rearms. By tbe side of such men as Blake and Tiant, tafcc a look at O'Biien and his rabble army. No couli ct <A BiiUsh veterans with efteminate [lindoos, or even vi'h Chinese, ever exhibited so ridiculous a coutinst. The rebel army was fiom head to tail one mass of imbecility. The men waited for ths chief to do soKsetlvug, and the chief waited for the like from the men. B >lh were disappointed. Smith OBrien went about all 1 ist week trying to mobilize the clubs, who seem to hivu been content with carrying the pike-, in solemn procession, and escoiting hm out of their several towns. He did not know what to do with thxin, and they did not know what to make of him So the mystery w.ia reciprocal. On Saturday, however, the General appeared in a splendid green uniform, with the '82 C uh cap, a long pike, and four pistols in his belt. Tuat looked like war, but it would seem neither General or man had lealized the grim reality at hand. When the 50 men, too tew for an army, bin not too many tor an embassy, tippioached, all was \acillation and distmst. OBrien asked his pikeuten whether he should surrender, and advised the policemen to give up their arms. As the answer in both ca&es pointed to die last appeal, there was no reason wnatevr why the five thousand or the one thousand should not pit their lives against the fifty, and by selling life for lite, gain a great victory, enormous lenown, and iilty stand of ami. They did no such thing. The fifty weic allowed to eivconce themselves m Widow Cormacks slated house, and put the five thousand to a disgraceful rout. A d where wa3 o'lHen whsn the lon^ expecte] blow had been struck, w he \ an attempt had actua'ly been made to arrest his person, anil when the balls were whizzing around him ? Was he directing operations or heading the as au'.t i Neither. But for Widow Cormack, we should probably have known nothing about him. She had lelt her cubs in her den, and as she had do doubt the dun would be destroyeo with all its inmates, maiernul fueling trale her somewhat desperate. She huu:e 1 out the King of Muni, r , and found him squatted in her cabbage garden to avuid the fire of the little garrison. He icfueod to a iproach the house and negotiate for her children ; but sent her to Mr. Trant wiih a silly message, tin t all he wanted was the pohcemSn's arms. Received the answer that was to be expected, Mis. Coimack returned to bib Majesty, and seizing him by the collar, dragged him to the house to parley for hay offspring "Ihe polichad an eye to a certain horrible contingency not un

known to Irish story, and resolved to regain Mrs. Cormacks family as hostages for the pieiervation of their fortress. The , lady went for the priest. What Smith O'Biien then did, or meant to do, is not very clear ; but the next informants are some of the police 9 who saw him crawling on all fours, like a tortoise, among the cabbages. They in media'ely fired at the quadruped, and it rolled over, whether in flight, or because it had rea'ly ba^n hit, or as a humble piece of generalship, did not appeir. When the assailants had been driven oil", with the loss of eleven men killed or mortally wounded, O'Buen sonvwhat unfahly charged his men with cowardice, retired to a. sate dislcince, and doffed his rebel uni'onu. The next g'impse we have of him is an mtcivicw with a mounted policeman, characterised with his usual vaudl.it on. He hesitated long whether to detain thp policeman or to suneuder himself up to justice. After t'\e usual consultation with his aany, he bit on ih it middle course between obedience and treason which ihe Legis'auuv his lately discovered, and eonmitted an act of felony by quie'ly riding off with the policeman's horse. Even this, however, was too decisive >m act ; so passing ilia policeman afterwar Is, he gave the mm his stick — we presume in exchange The soveieign he give to the widow of the lebel kilkd by the tire iiom the house was ab Hit the same oompensa'ioii lor a life as a walking stick tor a hoise. We have a great deal move to say of these absurdities, but mubt now con'ent ouv.clvcs with putting it io the common sen*o ol the di*, iff,'!. led In&h, if they have any left, — What eh nice have t'iry of a successful rebellion out of sjih nvseiahle malculs ? \.4 well twine a rope of s \nd, or build ;> castle v/ith titiaw, as .iclueie and estaMuh iudeueml nee with suuh beings <u O'lkien and hi, auny. The leprosy of tieasou distempers alike the heart and ihe bum. The hh>h are br<»v • enough under good leaders, and in a good cause. In the name of the Sovereign they have never ditgiaced themselves, and we trust uever will. In the pause of treason they have invariably shown themselves idiots and poltroons. O1O 1 linen crawling among the cibbages is an emblem ot the national degeneracy It he is left t> himself another twelvemonths, he will tdke to grazing on the garden stuff, I ke another king of old. But the men are no better than the chiefs. Whenevei and wheiever they emu in contact with thd police, the lesulc was the same. Tiijht gave courage, stiengtb, and aim to the loyal side. Before ihe thy was oviT tin rebelb were at theii old game of assass'nation, ciii'i it will be long in lejd before Ireland is rid of that ensue, but open rebellion is for evet clieekraited. Look at the shifting tableaux on the common of Boulai:h. 1. Five thousand rebel pikes, with OBrien strutting before them. 2. A detachment of police dashing at them. 3. O'Jirion on all fours among the ca'ibjges. 4. A desorted field of battle, in which, after a pause, assembled from a'l quarters 150J hoiie, foot, aail artillery. Yet Uoulagh is only an out of the way village, and the drr.\n^,cmeDts which ended in this decisive vic'ory and overwhelming coocentration had not been made twelve hours before.

Military Arrangement.— The military camp at Kersall-moor, near Manchester, /he formation of which we announced some time since, has been broken up, and it has been resolve d that rwo large encampments shall be formed, one on each side of the river Meisry. These military stations mil be composed of more th»n 2,000 men each, including the usual complement of artillery. The one on the Lancashire side, at Evertonhill, near Liverpool, has already commimced to be formed ; the whole of (he 9th regiment, from Kersal linoor, and other troops, having proceeded there, and are now under canvuss. The othrr, on the Cheshire side, will be near Birkenhead. These efficient milit.i'Y divisions will thus be enabled to preserve tranquillity in those districts, and also 1 c ready for immecHite embarkation, in case any more serious emergency jihould require thoii services elsewhere. The Fi-bkt o?e Ireland. — The naval force on the coast of Ireland consists of *he following v ssels : — St. Vincent, 120, Rear- Admiral Napier ; Piince Regent, 92, Captain Martin; Bellerophon, 78, Captain JBaynes; Blenheim, 56. Captain Chads ; Amplnon,36, Captain Williams ; Madagascar, Andromeda, and Andromache, 44-gun frigates, mounting only two guns each, as store shins; the Tweed, 18, Commander Lord F.

The Blenheim, steam guard ship, Captain Chads, left Cork on Sunday morning, under steam, against a *trons.' *nu.th-west wind for the Shannon. The Rifleman and Trident had not then joined at Cove, but were anxiously looked (or. The Alban having landed the marines of the line-of-battlr ships at Waterford, returned to Cove on Sunday. The St. Vincent, Bellerophon, Amphion, Crocodile, and Alban remained in Cork harbour on Monday. The Admiralty have very justly approved (by minute to the Superintendent of Portsmouth Dorliyard) and commended the exertion* made by the officers of the vari cms departments of that arsenal, in the alacrity to ♦ quip the vebsels selected from the advanced siean» squadron for Beivice in Ireland (Dragoon, Cyclops, Driver, Virago, Birkenhead, &c.) — Globe.
