On Tuesday, the Tipperary butter-merchants abandoned the William O'Brien Arcade

in New Tipperary, and went back to the old butter weigh-house on Mr. Smith-Barry's property. The cattle-fair was also resumed on Tuesday on the old ground, and on that day likewise six more of the tenants of New Tipperary resumed possession of their old shops. These facts are not a little remarkable, in face of Mr. Dillon's passionate attempts to bolster up boycotting and the "Plan of Campaign." We do not believe he will succeed. In Tipperary, all heart is out of the movement, and the same lack of confidence prevails elsewhere. We may, and shall no doubt, have savage attempts to boycott individuals ; but the organisation of a great conspiracy by means of money subscribed outside is, we believe, no longer possible.
