Ireland in Commotion.

The last steamer which has arrived from Europe brings hews confirmatory of previous Hdvices, that there was a conspiracy on foot to revolutionize Ireland-—sever her connec- ■ tion with England by means of aid from America. Numerous arrests have been made and the military called out in the county of Cork to put down the insurrection. The British Government appears to be thoroughly aroused by these movements. It is aware that, only by the most vigilant care and eiiutioo, and by prompt action, it can hope to preserve Ireland as a dependency of the British Crowrr. Four-fifths of the people abhor the British Government, and the feeling .against it is increasing rather than diminishing by time. It may be far distant; but we feel an abiding Convictions that the ■“Green Isle of the Ocean” will, some day, take its proper place among independent nations, by cutting the odious tie which binds it to Great Britain.— Cin.
