The Clonmel correspondent of the Times, writing on the 9th

instant, re- ports that the place was in a great ferment on the previous night, from rumours that an attempt to rescue Mr. O'Brien was about to be made. At midnight all the soldiery and constabulary were suddenly roused and marched out of the town: at dawn they returned, escorting seventeen men under arrest, They had found some 1,500 men drilling in a large field, most of them armed with pikes or muskets: the drillers had fled, but the seventeen prisoners Lad been seized.

After an examination before the Magistrates, on Thursday, all the pri- soners were committed for trial at the sitting of the adjourned Commission in December. One of them is a student of Trinity College Dublin.
