Dunux, Nov. 28, 1866, ‘Coming events cast their shadows before.” If the Ocearrences in Ireland during the past six days are to be taken as shadows of the future, we must expect stirring times here very quickly. The great question that is now ringing from one end of the island to the other is, ‘Has James Stephens got into Ireland yett’’ Though maay venture to confidently affirm that he is in the ‘midst of us, the truth is only known to the initiated, and ‘#0 fur has been carefully guarded. If he is pot in Ire- land yot, which is the opinion of the shrewdest outsi- ders, there is no doubt but that he will be bere within « day or two. Public exeitement is ronning very high; nothing is talked of in newsroom, clab, or on ‘Change, but the ‘coming revolution; when it is to commence, and where the “dogs of war’ will first be slipped, are canvassed with anxious faces, Few venture to laugh it off, or deny that there will be a movement The government are also stirring, and bracing up their resources to meet venta, I mentioned in my last that £1,000 reward war offered to the man who would prevent Stephens getting toto the country. That proposed reward has since been Jarguly increased, and now any man, woman or child ‘who wilt cause the body of Stephens to be dolivered to the government, either alive or dead, can claim £6,000, and protection for the term of their natural life. ‘The wildest ramore about him pass from one to an- tlint he hes managed to get into Dublin; that two morn- fngs ago a small lugger landed bim at the North Bull—e The emissaries of the to lead the insurgents have twos and threes, and are Gistricus to them, here themselves H who will and In Soe ait easel | mented on at great length, but the judges bi time is very close at hand, and I may irring scenes to notice in the were kept under arms during the past throe nigh: tachments of cavalry patrotied the outlying districts of the city until daylight, and on Saturday an order was despatched to Chatham, from the Admiralty, for the im- mediate prey of ge ships to convey sev- eral regiments to Ireland.

It is belleved the authorities have acted on their infor. mation, and that a raid will be made on all marked indi- viduals before another week elapses, It is thought advis- able to wait for a fow days to get Stephens into the country before taking this step, so that, if possible, he may be included in the batch, and some of the staff who will come over with him. Meantime they have been picking up men in Belfast, Carrickmact Trim, heda. Cork and other places, In Dablin, a man lately arrived from America, who gave his name as James McPherson MoGillvray, was arrested on Monday charged with being an agent of the conspirators, About £1,000 were found on him and a revolver, but no documentary evidence of connection, He is detained to give time for farther in- vestigation.

A large seizure of bullets, some 8,000 to 10,000, bas been made in Limerick, and the materials ready for the manufacture of as mauy more. A& a natural consequence of these facta, the public mind is considerably disturbed. Those who sympathise with Stephens and bis plans anxiously await the news of his brrival, while the loyal portion of the community are anxiously watching the proparations which the gov: ernment will make for their protection. All feel that the next month is big with fate, If Stephens succeeds in gotting an army into the field, seizing a few large buildings as fortifications, and can hold out for a little while, 80 as to prove the reality of his intentions, there is smal! reason to doubt but that he would receive large reinforcements of hang back because they doubt his sincerity and hia in- tention to do more than extract money from Also, if the movement was not so much of a form of revolution; if it were not believed.to be a war of the inst the rich; If It partook ‘snore of a true political eh numbers of je and wedithy people would be found in its ranks, The spirit of dis- content, with love of country, which led to the affairs of '98 and ‘48, still exist, Patriotism still burns strongly in all Iriehmen’s hearts, rich as well as poor; but the former caunot see that Stephens is the man to lead them while be blazons on bis banner “Marder and pillage,” If he prove that his ideas are above these crimes, that he will reapect life and property, he may find bis hands considerably s'rengthened.

The policy of the present Ewperor, Alexander Second, is a progressive one. Karly in his career as Emperor of all the Russias, he determined to take a great step in advance, and give freedom to the millions of serfs within his empire. How that grand scheme of emancipation was successfully executed, in spite of a thousand obsta- cles that would have deterred a leas bold and intelligent man than tho Emperor, the world already knows. Al though the good results which would naturally flow from 80 important a step have not all been developed, and while serious drawbacks have no doubt manifosted themselves, tending to shake one's confidence in the final result for the good for all classes, yet sufficient good has come out of it to induce the Emperor to exiend its operations beyond the empire of Russia, He bas now added another lanrel to hw brow, by free- ing from the pecaliar ties that bound the peasant to the Jand and Jandiord, iu the kingdom of Poland, from fou- dai times.

Loxpow, Nov. 24, 1866, The government of Great Britain has decided, that immediately upon the reassembling of Parliament a bill shall be laid before the House of Commons propesing an inorease in the army. A rowing match came off on Thursday, for $1,000 a side and the championship of tho Thames, The con- testants were Robert Chambers, of Newcaatle-on-Tyne, ex-champion, and Joseph Sadler, of Putney, both lands- men. This was the first occasion on which two lands- men had rowed for the championship of the Thames. There was a large concourse of spectators prosent in boats, on steamers and on the river banks, and a good deal of interest was manifested in the race. Although Sadlercame in first by a few lengths, the race was awarded to Chambers in consequence of a foul, Cham- bess has announced bis intention of “retiring to private a. ‘Tho strike of the tron workers on the Tyne, which has continued for eighteen weeks, in consequence of a notice by the masters of a reduction of ten per cent in the wages of the men, is now virtually ended. Some of the Union leaders still hold out, but large numbers of work- men have bern compelled to submit in order to end the suffering occasioned to their families by this protracted atrike. They will resume work at once, Others, how- ever, aro still debating the matter; but it is believed now that all will consent to the reduction, It is said that very few of tho factories will be able to work full time during the winter, Part of the crew of the American brig E.

The captam, second mate and throe colored seamen of the Byer wore picked off the wreck near Cape Hatteras on the 22d of Iast month, They had been ten days without food, The Captain, who had become insane, and one of the seamen, died on board the Meg; so that only the second mate and two seamen havo arrived in port.

The Match the Topic of Conversation at the Clubs. The Opinion of Old Pilots on the Wachts. SALB OF POOLS. As the time for the start of the yachts engaged in the Atlantio match draws near interest in the contest is growing and. inoreasing on every side. Last evening the race formed a prominent subject of conversation at the club houses and at the principal hotels, At the Now York Club, corner of Fifteenth street and Fifth avenue, many of the members engaged themselves im discussing the probabilities of the race, {tia SPOS warmiy of the enterprise and courage of the gentlemen who have, at this uncertain season of the year, resolved to test the sailing power of thoir yachts, Best wishes were expressed on every side for the safety of the yachts, Opinion was ‘at aes. a (4 the probable Wwinne?, a bia gaa tlemen who shared in the convorsation could not with certainty sey that this or that yacht would be the winner, they expressed the highest appreciation of the energy and enterprise of those gontlomen whose yachts have been entered for this great ocean raco. At Delmonico’s, and at the other up town hotels, throughout the afternoon and evening, the match was a favorite topic, and it came up as & matter of far more interest than even the most important event of local polities, Many betting men have beon using their books to some purpose during tho past few daya, and these geatiomen will doubtless be looking anxiously for two or three lines in the cable despatches announcing the name of the fortunate vessel, THE OPINION OF OLD PILOTA ON THR FLRETWING, HENRIETTA AND VESTA, Belleving that ‘jovial old tara’? and those to whom the foamy sea and salty breeze are familiar friends have the mast specitic knowledge of that which, like the sky, is “darkly, deeply, beautifully blue,” and of the white- winged craft which tack about and bear acrosa the briny ocean in endless succession, a visit was made yesterday ton number of accessible and affable pilots—altogether the mildest mannered mea “that ever scattled ship or outa throat,’’ Their opinions are of some importance, inasmuch as they are professional, although it is a no- torious fact thut the patient dies while consulting phy: sicians disagree, and that lawyers always wrangle. Still, they are in the babit of levelling the visual ray along the snowy crests of ocean waters, and see oftener than “Jand lubbera’’ those shadows in the clouds which pro: dict tho “coming events’ which Campbell talks about, and are able, with the emphasis of indubitable convic- tion, to #eo afar the fonued end quailing waves which might prompt their profane and practical naturos to ex- claim an bour sooner than anybody else:— Tho winds arise Squally and loud, with many a stormy token, Piayiny a wild fanereal air. With a singular unanimity they all scem to agreo that the ides of December is the very worst time to cross the Atlantic, and that at this season there are prevailing winds that sweep from the New to the Old World Many, too, believe that the keel boats Fleetwing and Henrietia are the only safe yechta lo which to venture the porilous sail, the Venta, a ceutre-board craft, boing liable in hoayy winds to “heave to,” which seems to be a recoznized megesslty with them all in siarp gales, and in heavy seas very apt to “trip up’ or turn over, The danger in point of success to the Honrictte seems to be connidered her want of beam ant the consequent proba- bility of too much canvass in a stormy sea, In these respects the Fleetwing is considered superior, and ts the favorite among many. Others are sangaine of the suc- cess of the Henrietta, and boast of her as having, in addition to her splendid seaworthy qualitio, the boast captain and the most experlonced pilot, An td the probable time the nautical experiment which is croating so much interest will occupy, the profession. alsare equally at variance.

With his beautiful, flute like voice the text run# smoothly along, yet there is no monotony or tameness in hi# rendering.
