Arrival of Irish Yankees. [From the Limerick Chronicle, Sept. 4.] A gentleman saw a party numbering, in- cluding three women, abont thirty persona en ter a third-class carriage of the train that was to start ifor Limerick. It appears that they came from the United State* in the steamer that called at Queenstown on Tuesday morn ing, to land passengers and mails. They ap- 1 te be of the peasant class, but were drtesed than their equals in this coon- and that they were Irish Yankees might at once be guessed from tbe toes of tbeir boots befog bifoad [between two and three inches,) and the kidependent air which they exhibited in their fanners send conversation. The gen tleman, attracted by their appearance, left the first-class carriage he was in, and entered that in which the new-comera were seated, and he w*s not long inside when he at once perceived that their love of the Hagon was not of the strongest kind, for the chief subjects of the conversation were the glory of American in stitutions and the degraded condition and mis ery of Ireland under British rule. They seemed td possess lots, not of “tin,” but of the yellow and more sterling metal, to a larger amount than one wcfeulddraagioe would be pos- in their class of life.

[From the London Mercury, Sept. 4.] The most bitter enemies of the Fenians are tbe Roman Catholic hierarchy and tbe priests. In the People, the recognised organ of the brotherhood, there is a lung account of a con troversy between one of its agents in the prov inces and his bishop: Finding the agent would not give op selling the People, the bishop de nounced him from the altar, comparing him with some of the great finners of history i but, as it is part of the creed of the Fenians that the cte^gy have no authority over them except in things purely spiritual and doctrinal, tbe agent paid no heed to the bishop's denuncia tions. The bishop then sent for the agent, when the latter curtly informed him that be knew where he resided if he wanted him, aud excused bis seeming rodenes* by alluding to the threats of the bishop. The htshop visited the agent, who, however, positively refused to stop selling the People. A wordy contest ensued, when the bishop, losing his temper, called tbe agent many names, and told him the flesh would drop off his bones, as it did from those of a Fenian in a neighboring parish, for thus de fying tile church, i Warning to England.

[From the Selma Times, Sapt. 8.] Our city, aod particularly th* occupants and guests of the Gee House, were thrown into a most intense state of exeiiement, ca the evening of the flflth, by tbe killing of Mr. J. P Nimmo. of Hontaville, and late special supervising agent of tbe Treasury Department for this district, by A ndrew Hosmer, of 8t. Louis, and formerly a commissioned officer in the United Stales army. It seems from the testimony that some ill feel ing had been previously existing on the part of Hosmer against Mr. Nimmo, and that Hosmer bad been, according to foe statement of Mr. Nimmo, just before the fatal and bloody encoun* ter, tradueing his character behind his back on the afternoon of that day. Thfo Mr. Ni imo had been informed of, and while Hosmer wts at sup per he eatored and approached his (Losmer’s) seat. Several words passed, foe import of which is not known, when Nimmo struck Hosmer.— Several blow* were passed aod Hosmer prostrsL- ted, when parties interfered and sepkrat«d them. The friends of Mr. Nimmo prevailed upon him to go to his room, which be did. Hosmer repair ed to the offioe, and there, it seems, got his pistol, andretnerked that be wuold kill him, and went np stairs, his friends endeavoring to prevent him. Mr. Nimmo went to his room, after the af fray in the dining room, in company srith Mr. Duval, who.left him and returned down stairs. Mr. Griffiog, of New York, was requested by Mr. Duval to go up to Mr. Nimmo’s rcom and try and calm him. This he did, and bn en tered the room closed foe door. Mr. Nimmo, immediately after the entrant of M r. Grif- fing, seated himself and began to read a news paper. In five or teD minutes thereafter some one rapped upon the door and forthwith open ed it. This was Hosmer, and he stood in the door with a pistol in his hand. At this mo ment Mr. Griffing sprang forward i;nd en deavored by exclamations to attract tbo atten tion of Hosmer and prevent his firing, in or der that he might approach near enough to disarm him ; bat before this could be done Mr. Nimmo seized his pistol, which was lfing on the bureau, and fired at Hosmer, the tail en tering the door facing near Ilosmer. The fire was instantly returned, the reports being so simultaneous that down stairs it was thought to be but a single report. Mr. Griffing is pos itive that Mr. Nimmo fired first. Immediately after the discharge of llosmer’s pistol Mr. Nimmo fell forward &nd expired ir Bluntly without a groan or struggle- The jury returned a verdict in accc/dance with the above facts. Mr. Nimmo was raised in Huntsville, Ala bama, but for several years previous to foe war was a planter in Arkansas. He was a widower, and leaves three little desolate chil dren, who are with his relatives in Hur tsville. Hosmer was arrested by Detective Duffy, of the United States service, and delivered over to the military authorities, who still have him in custody, and who intend turning hid over to the civil authorities for trial.
