Fatal Riots in Clare and Ennis,-The temporary privations of the laboring poor, at this season of the year, caused by the sudden advance of market prices, and gen. eral -ant of employment, -have already, we regret it sincerely, provoked a collisior withthe police authorities in their legiti mate duty of upholding the public peace, and saving the property of private :ndi viduals from assault and rapine. The firse reate oecurred at the village nf Clare, near Ennis, at a late hour on Saturday night (the particulars of which have al Teady appeared! A meeting of mngit rates was held it the Court House, Eunii. at 3 o'clock or Monday. Affidavits were sworn by the Mesrs. Bannotyne. in reference to the at tack on the vessel in Clare, and the exer tons they had made for the protection ol the property. It was decided to forward and espres to Limerick for a military re -.infrcement, and to call in from the oul stations the several detachments of thc police, and to use every exertion to pre Gervethe peace of the tow n. During the evening there were strong symptoosof at approacbing disturdance, from the appa. kk .rent excitement of the working classes who paraded the streets in great force, and o cionally collected in groups in various partsof the town. As is customary og such occasions, the women were most via. lent in their demeanor, and evidently en couraging the men by voice and action in their riotous intention. About 10 o'clock a furiousecrowd collected opposite one el Mr. Bannotyne's stores, and commenced an attack upon the gates and windows. The police were shortly on the spot. ant With dificulty succeeded in driving back the moh to some ditance. and stearng the space in front of the stores. There wai extraordinary excitement through the town at this period from the increasin symptoms of turbulence in the crowd% ant the knowledge of the trifling police fore availatble for its general protection. Aibout half past eleven o'clock the mot appeared to be dispersing, and the police retitcd from the sore to patrol Mill street rThis, however, was but a stratagem.

The wonded perspns were brought to the conaty infiemary, and received every attention from the resident surgeon. -Catherine Follon, shot in the head, died since admiued into hospital; Peggy Keen, womanded in the thigh notdangeroti; Peg M'enii the leg-not likely to re M.

Eanis is in a very alarming state. The bellman has been sent round the town by * ~ some evil emissaries for the purpose ofeol leeting a mob at the market before the hour of two of this day. The populace have re fused all ofera of pacification, openly de elartng that nothing will gratify them but blond! The cry through the town all day is. - Assemble until we have blood for blood!" Large crowds bad collected. The ex casement increases every moment, and it now appears all the magistrates deny hay in3ggiven orders to the police to fire on the night before. The inquest has not yet Leen held. Nothing can equal the inflammatory ex eitement; the police are under arms in bar racks, and a party parading thc town. ir. C. O'Connell has lust addressed the, peple at the Court Hone. and expressed -. intention of convening a meeting after the tnguest. ..~ A coroners's inquest was held on the ~Y~c. 1 # body of the slain woman, Catherine She h an, and thle verdict declared that there was not-mafiieent provocation for the firing and that the police fired, not only without ordershbot against the positive orders of - their officers. -Thirty-eight policemen Swere e'ommitted for trial on this verdit ~ ~-1~' he charge against them being willful murder,.

Wright. arrived yesterday from Galveston, bring- F ing dates from Galveston to Saturday last. i Congress assembled at Houston on the u 29th ult. when the President's Message C, was received and read. This document, It after reviewing the occurrences in the Re- i public since the adjournment of Congress. C and informing them of the actual present o situation of affairs, leaves the question of ti invasion of Mexico to the decision of the si Representatives of the People. e: Perhaps the following article from the c Civilian shadows forth the sentiments of a te strong party in Texas, on the question of Ii invading Mexico, more clearly thou can r be seen in the Message to Congress. cl Nations, as well as individuali, are at a times transported by anger or enthusiasm. and do things which in their calmer moods condemn as useless or injurious. Presi dent Houston has been censured by many - for neglectiog to avail himself of the late excitement to invade Mexico, .od thus - commit the country, too far to recede, so a war in which, in its more composed and thinking hours, itis not disposed to engage. n War, it is tree. depends much for its suc- a cess upon the feeling with which it is wag- p ed ; but feeling alone cin do nothing. On the field of bottle it ray be well to forges every consideration in the desire for victo. h ry; but prudence is said to be the better C part of valor; and it is the part of a skil. m tul General to think for those entrusted to hi his care and restrain their impetuosity c, when it is likely to involve them in ruin or it needless danger. It is the part or folly to $I enter into an enterprise without consider ing the means and chances of success or the consequences in cam. of failore;-the P part of wisdom to weigh contingences well, o and, by fireseeing to avoid disasters. Rash- hi ness leads men into unnecessary danger or b4 destruction; while true courage inen no el foolish hazard and only sacrifices its pos- i sessor when some great good is to b, at- a gained. But the President has no right to de- t clare or prosecute a war of invasion, The Constittion has given that power to Con- 1m gress, a y has now met to con- ol sider the V, of using it. It is ne- ol w-ry fcr t pulic tranquilisy that the w tu should promptly settled by the ai 'of it. The pe e 7 perr.- L D er . rtasrwy prsva& may be ,.essfully, at least u' ,,ruwarbtces must be drawn from ft the United States. Unless some extraor- a, dinary and unexpected means can he de vised for raising funds to equip mud bringg them to this country, and to support them until they can sustain themselves off the enemy's country, or' the people of the te United States extend a liberality for that ii object, which we can reasonably neither l6 ask or hope, ihese forces cannot be obtain- n< ed. -ien so drawn together must have be few disappointments or causes of dissatis- di faction, or their efficiency, subordination ei and good conduct cannot be depended up- @1 etn. Manmy of them imust necessarily be those who are discontented, unfortunate, are useless as home-men who love the o. indolence and license of the camp better t than the toil and1 quiet of the workshop or hi the farm. Such met. are impatient of'con- T trnl-emacsing in their demands-and by gr no means steady in their purposes. The ,, experience which this city has lately had r in this respect has satisfied not a few that, cil isn the present condision of she country. as many evils as benefits may he expected Bi from an attempt to carry on the war with this kinad of troops, and shot the expecta- t tion that an invasion of Mexico can be F' made without the sacrifice of the private w pruperny of the people tihere by our troops tr as unfounded, since these troops cannot be wl supported here without the appropriation e, of the property of the citizens, not always th wish their own consent. Even if we should prove suecessful in ~ the work of invasion, one of the conditions of a sreaty of peace would be the with- t" drawal of out torces ; and for them to re turn and be disbanded here would be a circumstance scarcely less tu be dreaded by the people than 'the march into the country of a hostile Mexican force ofequal de numbers. The effect which an army has ne in demoralizing and redering reckless those 1th engaged in it, where the men are hastily drawn together and there is not an oppor tunity for enforcing strict order and discip- * line, cannot he imagined by those who have never witnessed it. The non-pay- *t ment of the :nen by the Government coi- W plnying them-want, sull'ering, or fancied ki wrongs, are made the pretexts for the gros- s sest irregularities and frequently for the A commission of the worst crimea. Should j e this ' nrment be comapelled to disband. m withid Iur borders, an army from abroad , sufficiently large to have invaded Mexico with elfect, their track out of the country . would be marked with a desolation scarce- hi ly equalled by the ravages of she locusts of I Egypt.
