So complete wasthe suc- cese attendant on the:e decisive meusures, that Mr. O’Bnen was brought to the railway through the de- | Serted streets, and without a shadow of opposition. A strong body of intantry guarded the entrance to the railway, and the prisoner was conducted there on a car, whereon Gen. Macdonald, Captain Fitz- | maurice, R. M.,and Mr. Gore Jones, K. M , were also seated. He was surrounded on every side by the armed constabulary and the troops of the line. On entering the carniege, Mr. O’ Brien was placed in the centre seat, and in the same compartment with him were Lieutenant Alexander Macdonald, Sub-Inspector Bracken, Head-Constable Hanniver, and four constables. Mr, O'Brien was told by Lieutenant Macdonald that he must not move or speak, at the peril ot his life. _ r. O’Brien, before starting, inquiredof the Gene- ral whether it was by bisdirections that he was ak; the General replied that it was, and added, *1 wish, Mr. O’Brien, to treat you with all the respect due to your station in society, and to your nusfortunes ; bat] bave a duty to per- form, wand my orders must be obeyed.’ Mi.

On the arrival of the special train at Dublin, soon after midnight, he was at once conyeyed to the royal barracks, where, having seen him safely de- posited, Lieut. Macdonald proceeded with des- patches from his father, the General, to. the Vice- regal Lodge. Mr. O’Brien continued to walk for about half'an hourin the square of the barrack, until the arrival of Town Major White; after which | the prisoner was conducted by the Hon. J.. Mac- donald, A. D.C, to his royal highness Prince George, of Cambridge, attended by Town Major White, and by the constabulary force, without the Intervention of the military, and safely lodged in Kilmainham. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. [From the Freeman’s Journal.] _ Mr. O’Bnen was arrested last night (Saturday) in the town of Thurles, at about ei ht o’clock, ani was immediately transmitted under astrong escort by special train to Dublin, where he arrived about two o'clock this morning. , From the terminus ot the railroad he was taken to the royal burracks, which are inthe immediate vicinity of the station. We understand that Prince George ot Cambridge, who was at once apprised ot the arrival of the distinguished prisoner, had e. Mr. O’Brien was shortly after transmitted to Kilmainham jail, under an escort ot lancers, headed by Town Major White, where he at present lies. _Mr. O’Brien was arrested under the following circumstances: On Saturday evening, at about halt-past seven o’clock, Mr. O’Brien, entered the railway station at Thurles, and was in the act of poe ing a ticket, it is said, for Limerick, when he was recognised by one of the guards, who, | laying Ins hands on ‘his shoulder, said—* You are Mr. O’Brien ; you are the Queen’s prisoner.” Mr. O’Lrien made no reply ; and the guard at once sent for the police, thirty-seven of whom, under Sub-Inspector Bracken, arrived within a few minntes. ; ‘ ¢ The engine, which was in readiness to convey the Dublin mail train, was instantly put in requi- silien ; two carnages and a van were attached, and Mr. O’Brien was sent express to Dublin, ac- companied by Sub-Inspector Bracken and the ubove number of police. Mr. O’Brien having been taken to the Royal Bairacks, und thence to Kilmainham, as we al- trendy mentioned, was placed under the charge of the governor of that prison. On reaching Kil- mainham, he expressed an anxiety to retire to rest, us he was a good deal fatigued, “ having,’ he said, “ walked a considerable distance,” al luding, we presume, to his wallyto Thurles, Hav- | iug been supplied with some tea, he shortly after retired to bed, and we are informed that he soon fell into x profound sleep. Permission has been given by the Lord Lieute- nant to the Governor to admit Mrs. O’Brien, her children, and Mr. French, uncie to Mrs. O’Bnen, to see the prisoner, PORTED RISING OF THE PEOPLE. It was reported in Dublin on Monday, that ac- counts had reached the quarters of the general commanding, that disturbances had broken out in the Limerick direction. “The 75th regiment | broke up their encampment fear Thurles, by a sud- den order, and betore 8 o’clock on Monday, were marching ow route for Limerick. A letter written at Thurles, on Monday last, dated three o’clock, says: ‘At one o’clock, P. M., this day, the light division (or flying column, as they are teimed,) which have been scouring the country for the last ten days, under General Mac- donald, consisting ot two light six-pounders royal artillery, one company of sappers and miners, the 601 rifles, and the 85th light infantry, received orders to strike tents and proceed by railway to Limenck, en route to the county of Clare, where a rising 1s expected. The tents were struck, bag- gage loaded, and the men off the ground in one hour afterwards. The 74th regiment proceeded 10 Tipperary. The 85th light infantry escorted Smith O’Brien to the railway yesterday evening. The men have been provided with canteens and | blenkets as on service, and have. suffered from the rain and damp of the ground in camp, but are, notwithstanding, very healthy, and in great spirits. The 75th regiment are under canvass at Ballin- garry, county of Tipperary, vacated by General Macdonald.” TUE REVEL LEADERS. _ A correspondent of the Times, writing from Dub- lin on Tuesday, says: i “ A gentleman from the neighborhood of Golden told that on Friday night last, Meagher, O’Gor- man, and Dillon, called at atarmer’s house in Clonoulty, mmploring food and shelter. They were | in a most miserable condition—wet, cold, and starving. The farmer, however, would not re- ceive them, and reminded them of the cautionary proclamation that was everywhere through the country.

We bave hitherto refrained from noticing the reports which have been circulated respecting the re-appear- ance of the potato disease. We were aware that many of the statements which had been published were | grorsly exnggerated; and we therefore resolved, before addressing our readers on this subject, to make a care- ful examination of the condition of the crop over an extensive cuatetes From the We rearct that it is our duty to state, that it is proba- ble that this unfortunate country will this your suffer @ considerable Joss of that crop, which, despite the warnings of the part reasons of suffering, is still, in many parts of Ireland, the chief lependence of the far wer —Northern Whig, Belfast. ‘We have never been alarmists, but havo ever, to the bert of our belief, laid before our readers the plain and simple truth. We regret to say that our present duty is to give rather an anfavorable account of the potato crop, upon which the hopes of this unhappy country are now desperately set. In many districts of the south the diteare has assumed an upparently virulant form, while in other districts the disease seems to havo Leen checked. However, one thing seems at this moment most painfully probable. that the crop on which so much depcnds is, to eay the least, in danger.

In the battle-field and in the hall of justion the rame course is pursued—in the one, the va- ant foe shrinks from the combat, and is to be found nowhere;—in the other. the braggart pensmen and tongucsmen evoke all the quirks and impedimonte of law to postpone the iseue which they 86 often invited.

W. SMITH O'BRIEN. This gentleman complains bitteriy of the treatment he bas received from bis followers, Even tho Freeman's | Journal attributes to bim the utterance of such eenti- | ments as the following :—‘I entered upon my course | with my eyes open to all the eonsequences; but those whom [expected to sustain me for the suke of the | country did not doso. I know | shall be hanged; bo it | #0, Iam ready—and }l have only to say, | have done my part for Ireland. AMERICAN AND FRENCH SYMPATUIZERS, The government having received information to the effect that large supplies of arms, ammunition, and | food, intended for the use of tbe rebel army in Ireland, had been shipped from America and France, have taken effectual measures to prevent the landing -of these mischievous consignments. In addition to the fleetat Cove and the steam frigates, nine sloops of war have reovived orders to cruise off the Irish coast, Iti right to state that the governments of the reap: c- tive countries from which these supplies are coming, are in nowise connected with the proceeding. ‘These warlike cargoes are the substantial tributes of private sympathy, We learn that the British Ambassador has apprised the American government that all persons, whether subjects of the States or otherwise, taken in the attempt to uid the insurgents by such supplies, will be forthwith hanged by the British authorities MILITARY CONTROL. | ‘The Times correspondent eays, the south of Ireland is at this moment vuder military control. It ix divi- ded into districts, each of which is commanded by an officer of distinction, whose name is already kuown to the world as baving “done the State service.” Gene- ral Napier is at Limerick, Sir C. O'Donnell at Water- ford, Sir C. Napier and Major General Turner at Cork. These are the established wilitary districts, by which | the south of Ireland is held in contrel—by which its rebelliousness is overawed, and the peoplo reminded that there still exist such things as the crown and go- verpment of the land. To connect the south with Dublin, General Macdonald has under his commaud | about 2500 men, who form a moving column ready to be concentrated on any point where their services | may be required. They occupy the district between | Thurles and Kilkenny, and are thus available for the | suppression of disturbances at any one of the three | fixed districts. The manner in which they have dis- | charged their harassing duties is already before the public. In addition to these formidable and well orga- nized arangements, Viscount Hardinge ia, | am in- formed, now on a tour of inspection throughout the disturbed districts, His lordship was expected yester- day at Kilkenny, whither General Macdonald and his aid-de-camp went to meet him. It is most sincerely to be hoped that the vigorous measures thus adopted may not soon be relinquished.

As I obsetye that different versions of the pabiculare connected With the arrest of Mr. Smith O'brien baye appeared in some of the Dublin papere, | think it me- cessary to state, that that which appeared in your ey- press édition of Sunday morning, was the only correct account that I hay en, except the more ample and exceedingly accurat ine which appeared in the Cork Ewominer 1 think it, however, as well for me to narrate the par- ticulars in @ complete and connected form, as I am in a porition to do with the most perfect accuracy. A little betore eight o'clock on Saturday evening, . O'Brien came into this town on foot, from the dt- rection of Moyne, about four miles hence. He walked through the main street, pasting the hotel where the general snd his stafl were quartered. Lie was recog uised by numbers of people, some of whom warned hiin against appearing +0 publicly, but he made no reply to them, Amorg thoro who recogni-ed Mr. O'Brien in the street, was Mr. Hulme, the raiiway guard, who im- mediately followed him to the station, When he reached there, he entered the office, and arked for « record clare tloket to Limerick, for which he handed six ebillings to the clerk, His manner seemed nervous and excited, and he left a sixpenee, which be was to recvive #8 change,onthe counter The clerk called Lim back to take it, and he then asked where be was to ge to get into the train, and was told te eroes the rativey to the opposite platform.

A supply of waterhaving been taken. in, the train proceeded on to Dublin. While this scene was occurring at the station, Mr O’Brien bad arrived at the bridewell, and upon enter- ing it he observed that he was very much exhausted, and desired some refreshment, He was asked of what kind. He said some tea or soup; that he was a tee- totaller, and would not bave any spirituous liqu which, it would appear, some one present suggested he might make use of. He complained that his feet were sore from walking, and a police officer, Mr. La- Yelle, at once wentiato thi a pair of rocks for him, for which attention Mr. O'Brien expressed bimseif very thankfal. He then requested permission to write some letters, which was accorded him. and he wrote one to Mrs O'Brien, and another to Mrs. Doheny, requesting that his’ portmanteau might be sent xtter him. Both letters were duly for- warded, and Mire. O’Brien, accompanied by her father, Alderman Joseph Gabbett, of Limorick, went up to Dubbn by the first train yesterday morning Shortly atter Mr. O’Brien was lodged in the bride- Well, and while the train was being gut in readiness, Major Generat McDonald, xccompanied by Captain Fitamauri R.
