This Company is established to facilitate the investment of English capitat in Australia, and to assist generally in developing, its resources. its business will consist chiefly in making advances to the P a storal tenants of the Crown lands a nd others, and by taking security on their stations, stock, freehold land, and .. t %.001, in accordance with the Mortgage and Lien A c t s o f th e Legislatures; in acting as agents for the sale of wool and other produce in Australia, or for its shipment to "L'ot;rland ; in effecting the sale of stations and stork; and in co nducting a Financial and Gener a l X2ency business. - ` rll v sec Yhe Company, therefore. will advance capital only when ti ured and do not intend to enter into any tranbac _ Operations will be commenced by taking over pt Messrs. J. H. Clough and Co., of Melbourne, which has been c stablished upwards of ten years, and which shows to average profit per annum toe the last six years as fol lows : From June, 1E53, to June, IEO4, six years.

The extensive connexion with the producers thus acquired Will fc,rm tae basis of tie Comt.any's ooeratons ; the returns Of the business show, as above, an average profit during the last six years of upwards of thirty thousand pounds per ."Ilum, and the facilities for the extension of the business, Lo be afforded by the introduction of augmented eapi. al and credit will enable the Company to realise proportionately increased profits. Jhe purchase of the goodwill of the business has been f t rceted on very advantageous terms, the amount to be paid tieing less than two years' profits, the whole of which will be received by the Vendors in Shares, subject to proportionate r eduction should a net profit of £30,000 per annum on a three Years' average not be realised, as stated in the terms of pur chase, copy of which, and also of the Articles of Association, can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. One-half of the amount of the above purchase money will pa'd to the Vendors by six thousand shares (with £5 per share paid up), out of the present issue, and the remaining half in debentures of the Company, to be converted into Shares ot the next issue, such debeatures or converted Shares to b e held by the Board for the purpose of guaranteeing a dividend of 10 per cent. por annum for three years ; and the Vendors have also agreed to place their services at the dis rosal of the Company for the same period to co-operate with the Manager, who will be appointed by and act under the direction of the Board in London. The premises in which the business is at present carried on have been purchased by the Company, subject to a valua tion ; ttiey are situated in the principal street in the city of elbourne, in immediate proximity to the terminus of the G overnment Victorian Railways ; and for proportions, style, nod convenience, surpass Theydin for similar purposes in the Australian colonies. were erected at a ccat of Mout £30,000 by the present proprietors, and were especially , tleB iglied for the wool trade, with stowage room for from a 5 OOO to 20,060 bales. having hydraulic presses, lifts, and all other necessary appliances. The business thus secured, and connexion obtained, will enable the company at once to assume a pos tion, and obtain r esults which would otherwise take years to effect. It ts rosed to take powers to rrow money o bonds ' l r debentures: the difference betw b ee o n the English rate of b orrowing* and the high Colonial rates for lending on mart- Rage Neill form an additional source of revenue to the Corn- PanY; and powers are also propos , xl to be taken to increase, 41 required, the capital of the Company. The prospects of the Company are identified with the pro gress Of the Australian Colonies, which, without doubt, pre- Bent the most valuable field for the investment of British ;Ittlital now known. The pr , gressive increase in the cyan id. of wool exported from Victoria alone is seen in the I°l- ' 41113 g statement, viz : Pounds. 1861-2 it amounted to .. 16,274,€99 1862-3 1863-4 And that large securrties exist on which the capital of the Co t h - mPany can be profitably employed is shown by the fact ' 4 1 . , although the value of the live stock property of the ;cluatters of Victoria alone, estimated from Govenment re- Urns in 1862. was £10,000,000 sterling, yet the r e gistered tmount advanced to them on such securities in the same year under £2,000.000. o " Underthe Articles el A ssociation, the qualification for each W drector is fixed at £4,or 0 at least, to be held by hi m i n hi s ri right in the Shares of the Company. „The success of the Vendors, their confi , nce in the prospects the Company, evidenced by their w llingness to accept the Purchase money of the goodwill of the business in Shares, 11 by giving the material guarantee above-namtd, and the b. e scope for profitable employment of capital, justify the ,_trectors in recommending . this undertaking as an invest ;ent of the most satisfactory kind, especially as the liability, t ,' 4l c, delay, t , nd competition, which the establishment of a tW business involves will be avoided, and the operations ,:1 ,1 be increased a Coan caital and of t rusted will form a b g y uarantee mp for all the addit p ional business credit en 411sted to it. be the formation of this Company no promotion fees will r rosectuses and Forms of Aplication for Shares ma be Wi Ld at p the Bankers, Brokers, Solic p itors, or at the Officers of A e Company. q'ttplications for Shares must be accompanied by a deposit b £1 Per Share in the event of no allotment the money will toe returned in full ; it a less number is allotted than is applied t o t s the surplus amount paid on application will be applied 1541'eards the payment of the £1 due on allotment, and the "lace, if any, returned.

He first went to London, and there re mained some years, then returned to Manchester for some months ; and two yearssince he came to Liver pool, where he has remained till now, living first in Devon-street, and was recently in the house where he was arrested. After he had been taken from the house to-day his wife, who was thrown into great grief by his sudden removal, said to the officers— ' I lost my father, my brother, and my son by the English, and now I shall lose my husband through the English laws.' It is stated that several of his relatives were mixed up in former Irish troubles, and that one of them (probably the father) suffered death in 1798. I believe the authorities have do cumentary evidence apart from what may have been found in his possession, showing him to have been actively engaged in promoting the Fenian movement." thin which such person resides, or if re been appointed for the district wit son resides, then to the officers to the place of residence of the person that is to say, within the metropolitan said clerk of the Privy Council; within the city of London and the liberties thereof, to the Lord Mayor ; within any other borough, burgh, or town subject to the jurisdiction of a mayor, provost, or otherprincipal magistrate, to such mayor, provost, or other principal magistrate ; elsewhere in Eng land, to the clerk of the justices acting in and for the petty sessional division ; and elsewhere in Scotland, to the clerk of the peace of the county. 9. Every inspector shall have power to enter upon and inspect any premises or place in which any animal or animals may be found within the district for which he is appointed, and to examine and inspect, whenever, and wherever he may deem it necessary, any animal within such district. A correspondent of the same journal gives an account of a Fenian arrest in Limerick on Saturday , to the following effect : " The person arrested is said to be a clerk em ployed on the Corkanoll Embankment, but I cannot state positively whether such was or was not his occupation. The matter is endeavoured to be kept as secret as possible by the magistrates. The pri soner has not yet been brought up at the police court, and under existing circumstances it is im possible at present to ascertain the facts of the case. The story now told, and generally believed, is, that the young man arrested made some incautious dis closures at the racecourse, and that he was overheard by a policeman in coloured clothes, who had a watch on him ; and in consequence of some discoveries found himself justified in making the arrest, after which some important information was discovered which will enable the authorities to take steps in suppressing the local section of the Brotherhood which is believed to exist here. immediately after the arrest had become known a detachment of Lancers was seen marching into the city, and this added to the general excitement, so that people are now expecting to hear every moment of several ar rests. About 5 o'clock another detachment of Lancers arrived, and I believe there are to be 800 infantry soldiers sent here by this evening's train from the Curragh. The arrests in Dublin and Cork have produced a great effect on the Fenians here. They were previously to be seen marching and singing almost every night through the streets, but such displays have now altogether ceased." 10. Every inspector shall have power within his district to seize and slaughter, or cause to be seized and slaughtered, and to be buried, as hereinafter directed, in any convenient place, any animal labouring under the said disorder. 11.

Every person having in his possession, or wider his cus tody, any animal labouring - under the said disorder, i3hall forthwith give notice thereof to the inspector of /he district REPORT FROM PROFESSOR SI3IONDS. The Clerk of the Council presents his compli ments to the Editor of The Sun, and, by the Lord President's direction, transmits for publication the accompanying report from Professor Simonds. Sept. 2a, 1865. Veterinary Department, 23, New-street, Spring-gardens, Sept. 25, 1865. To the Clerk of the Council. Sir,—l beg to report that, acting on the instructions re ceived from you, to investigate without loss of time the statement received at your office relative to an outbreak of the cattle plague in a remote part of the county of Norfolk, supposed to have arisen from cattle having been in contact with some diseased sheep recently brought to the premises, I have visited the district in question and inquired into all the circumstances of the case. It appears that as far back as the 17th of August Mr. C. Temple, fanner and merchant of Blakeney, received on his farm 120 lambs, which he had instructed a dealer to procure for him for feeding purposes. The lambs were bought at Thetford Fair on the preceding day, and were immediately sent by rail to Fakenham from which place they were driven to Blakoney, a distance of about ten miles. On their arrival they appeareed to be fatigued to a greater extentthan ordinary, which was, how ever, attributed to the heat of the weather and the exertion the animals had undergone. • In addition to this, the shepherd observed that several of• them seemed unwell, and he remarked to his master that they did not seem to be a "very healthy lot," and that he thought it would be better to return them to the dealer Within a day or two of this time the symptoms of illness were more marked in all the original cases ; and many more of the animals had been attacked. On the 24th two of the worst cases were removed from the field to the farm pre mises, and were placed in a shed for treatment, in which afterwards a cow was put. On the 25th two of the lambs died, and in consequence of this and of the large number which were now affected, the whole were brought on the morning of the 27th into the same yard where the shed previously alluded to is situated. There is also another shed, separated from this yard only by some old furze faggots, into which the cows were driven night and morn ing for being milked. The lambs remained in the yard till the morning of the 28th, when, having had some medicine administered to them they were returned to the fold, and never came again near the cows. While in the yard three died—two on the 27th and one on the 28th ; and on the following day two others died in the field. From this time the disease went on, so that by Friday last, Sept. 22, the day of my visit, 46 had either died or been killed, and 27 were in a very precarious condition. On Sept. 7, ten days after the last exposure to the sheep, a cow gave evidence of being affected with the cattleplague, this animal being the one which had been put into the shed occupied by the diseased sleep on the 24th of August. A second cow was attacked on Sept. 11, and a third shortly afterwards, which was followed by others, so that by the IGth all the cows, six in number, a heifer, and a calf, wer e all dead. My examination of the lambs showed that they were unmistakably the subjects of the plague. The symptoms agreed in almost every particular with those observed in cattle affected by the malady, and the post-mortem ap pearances wore also identical. With a view to ascertain the true nature of the changes produced in the system prior to death I had four of the lambs killed, and from these I took some diseased parts and forwarded them to the Royal Veterinary College, without note or comment. These parts were examined by my col league, Mr. Yarnell, who at once recognised the special changes of structure which are caused by the cattle plague. The whole facts of the case leave not the least doubt of sheep being liable to the disease termed the cattle plague, and that when affected they can easily communicate the malady to the ox tribe; and, moreover, that when so con veyed it proves equally as destructive as when propagated from ox to ox in the ordinary manner. The case is also more important from having occurred in a place no less than 14 miles distant from any other where the cattle plague exists, thus placing beyond a doubt the fact of the malady being introduced among the cattle by the sheep alone. I regret to add that this is not a solitary case of sheep being affected by the cattle plague. I learned that some sheep were supposed to be similarly affected belonging to Mr. It. J. 11. Harvey, M.P., on his estate at Crown Point, near Norwich. This place I also visited, and found a largo flock of upwards of 2,000 lambs, among which the malady was prevailing. A large number had been separated from the diseased, and gave no evidence of the malady. Very many, however, had died, and the disease was making rapid progress. I also examined many of the dead, and found the post-mortem appearances to be identical with those seen in the other cases spoken of in this report. In this instance the malady was brought into the estate by the purchaseof some cattle, which afterwards died from the disease, and which were unfortunately pastured with the sheep at the time the disease manifested itself. The whole matter is one of the greatest importance, and which I lose no time in submitting to you, for the informa tion of the Lords of the Council.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, Jas.

LOS AND GAIN.—On Saturday evening, about 8 o'clock, a barge laden with some 100 casks of Guinness's XX stout was run into by a steamer at West minster-bridge. She shortly afterwards sank a little fur ther down the river and opposite to Mr. Furness's Thames Embankment works, leaving her casks of malt liquor float ing on the river. The men on the embankment works were not slow to appropriate the welcome beverage. Casks were quickly broached and emptied into cans and stomachs, and there was naturally a rather enlivening scene for a while. There was a Thames police boat close at hand, but no lives were lost, nor was any harm done beyond the sinking of the barge, the loss of some Dublin stout, and the inebriatien of a few navvies. A PRETTY PICTURE.—" Indeed, there was one particular plant, the pride of the Rook's garden, that they (the architects of the Cathedral) had copied with singular felicity, although they had been obliged to twist and twine it until it had assumed the prescribed form of the pattern. This was the polypody fern, whose matted roots had thrust themselves into a fissure on the top of the parapet, and whose jagged fronds, so thickly dappled with orange spores, waved their feathery plumes in the slightest breeze. There was but one specimen of it in the Rook's gar den, and he was so proud of it that one day, when he saw a lark soaring in song ashigh and higher than the cross on the summit of the Cathedral spire, he took up his guard on the parapet, prepared to defend his plant from any inter lepers. There was also another fern in the garden—this was the well-rue ; and although not quite so showy as the polypody, yet it was very valuable ; for it kept its small leaves green all through the winter. But the gayest, and largest, and most plentiful plant in the Rook's garden was the wall-flower, that, in the spring -time, scented the air with the most delicious fragrance, and, with its yellow and orange blossoms, some of which were striped with a tawny crimson, flecked the blue sky with their golden petals, and made a blaze of bright colour against the cold grey hues of the tower. Whether originally sown there by one of his ancestors, or borne thither by some upward breeze, the Rook did not know ; but, by the time that hehad chosen that spot for his garden, the wallflower had so re sown itself, year after year, that it had converted the place into quite a little shrubbery. . . . Ho had other floral trea sures besides the wallflower and the ferns. There were two or three patches of yellow stonecrop, with its vivid green foliage and golden clusters of bloom ; there were masses of the toad flax or roving sailor, with its ivy-like leaves and lilac flowers ; there were clusters of the red valerian or setwall, and of the dragon's-mouth, that made gay the summer months with their crimson and purple capsules ; and there was a bit of the blue blossomed borage, that may have been a descendant of a plant that had flavoured the cool tankard of the old monks who had once lived hard by the Cathedral."—Cuthbert Beck's i‘ The Rook's Garden." THE VOLUNTEERS. In Essex a match has taken place between the A and B companies of the Colchester corps. The shoot ing was at ranges of 200, 500, and 600 yards, and eight gentlemen shot on each side. The scores made were as follows :—A company, 272 ; B company, 273. The Ist Essex Administrative Battalion had a field day at Witham on Thursday ; the assembled force mustered altogether 143. In the absencp of Lieut.-Col. Sir Clade de Crespigny and Captain and Adjutant de Crespigny, the command devolved on Major Bishop. Lieut.-Col. Deshon, the new inspecting officer for the Eastern district, was pre sent, and complimented the battalion at the close of the manoeuvres. Lieutenant llill has been chosen captain of the Brentwood company, in the room of Mr. T. Hill, resignea. Mr. W. Russ (for merly a lieutenant in the Jersey Militia) has been chosen lieutenant, and Mr. A Lewis ensign. A challenge cup offered for competition among the Ungar company hat been won for the fourth time this season by Private Mott. In Suffolk we may note the annual competition for prizes of the Hadleigh Company :—A silver cup of the value of £8 Bs., givel. by Capt. Rowley, was won by Private Spooner. A challenge vase—won in 1862 by Corporal Gan -Thin) in 1863 by Sergeant Kersey, and in 1861 by Lient. Robinson—was won by Ensign Freeman ; the cup to become the abso lute property of any member must be won by him for two consecutive yearvand it consequently still stands over for competition. In a return match be tween sides of six each, selected from the Beccles and Harleston companies, the shooting was at ranges of 200 and 500 yards, and the scores made were— Beccles, 190 ; Harleston, 199. The best shots of the Stowmarket company have had a competition for a number of prizes. The first prize, a bronze clock, presented by Major Tyrrel, was won by Ser geant S. Matthew. The third annual battalion rifle matches of the Ist Suffolk Rifles were shot at the Sudbury butts on Friday. The prizes, mounting in value to £3O, were given by Lieutenant-Colonel Anstruther, commanding, and the cther staff officers—Major Tyrell, Major Michell, Rev. H. B. Knox (chaplain), and Adjutant Barnardiston. The ranges were 300 and 500 yards, seven slots at each. The firing generally was far fron good, the wind being vailable, and therefore unfavourable. Eight com panies were represented. The first prize, aggregate score at both ranges, was taken by Corporal Fisher (Eye), with 37 points. 300 yards only-Ist, Private Pike (Eye), 18 points. A fifth annual competition has taken place among the members of the Wisbeth corps for a ladies' chal lenge cup ; it was won a second time by Colour-Ser geant Bennett. The first competition took place in 1861, when the cup was von by Corporal Tunna cliffe. In 1862 the cup ?assed into the hands of Corporal Pattrick ; in 1863 it was carried off by Colour-Sergeant Bennett, and last year by Private Holmes. The Ist Cambridgeshire has had a com petition for prizes. The shooting was at ranges of 200, 500, and 600 yards, and the highest scores were made by Private Barton, Ensign Hall, Private Hodson, and Private Ling,, The Huntingdon companies have had a competi tion for a ladies' challenge cup and other prizes. The winner of the cup and first prize was C orporal W allis. The first of the other prizes, to which Capt. Herbert • was a contributor, was won by Ensign Stafforth. In Norfolk, the 3d Norwich has just had its an nual prize shooting. This company possesses a chal lenge cup, and it was won last year by Capt. Gurney; at this year's shooting he again stood first. There was another contest for several money prizes, of which the first was won by Private J. Craighill. The challenge cup of the Aylesham corps has been won by Corporal ; a prize given by. Lieutenant Ernuin was secured by Private G. Dur rell. The Ist Norfolk battery of Volunteer Artillery has had its annual carbine prize 4hooting at the butts, North Denes, Great Yarmouth. The first match was for a prize of £lO, presented by the mem bers for the borough, Sir E. 11. K. Lacon, M.P., and Mr. J. Goodson, M.P., the £lO being divided into shares of £3, £2 10s, £2, it 10s, and £l. There were 27 competitors, and the first share was won by Gunner Riches, the second by B. S. M. Baker, the third by Sergeant Cocks, the fourth by Sergeant Page, and the fifth by B. S. M. Mack. The second match was for a ladies' prize of £5, divided into prizes of £1 15s, £1 ss, and third and fourth £l. The first share was won by Cor poral Mack, the second by gunner Ellis, the third. by Corporal Sackl ; and the fourth by gunner Shimpling. Some other prizes were also com peted for. The Ist Norfolk Administrative li u h n a d s er in the e tin Gunton-park for commandbatta lion of Col. Lord Suffield and Adjutant Toke. P r i zes f or s h oo ti ng were g i ven b b y atdt A L adr or doil d jnln' Suffield ; the first of £2 was won by Ser geant secondo Timbers, fil b y opf the Private Company. Maidstone, of the Aylsham The Warwickshire Volunteers, comprising the Coventry, Rugby, War w i c k, St ra tford, N un eaton, Saltley, and Leamington companies, and numbering 563 in all, were inspected on the Warwick Race common last. The reviewing officer was Lieut.-Col. Manners, of the 6th or north-west Rifle Volunteer Sirdistrict, Campbell, appointed for the Midland un now at Hythe. The rifle men, brigaded as the fi rs t a d m i n i s t ra ti ve battalion, exec uted the usual m ovements, t h e b ayonet d r ill, counties, E t d ie w s, ai bein g .d under Adjutant Edwards, the former instructor of the Prince of Wales, being long and well performed. While the file firing, with a view to test their power of keeping up a continuous fire upon a supposed enemy, Private Charles Wright, of the Leamington corps, standing in the rear, was struck on the right temple by the accidental discharge of the rifle of the front-rank man. Wright's shako was blown high into the air, and he fell to the ground as if dead. Staff-Surgeon Philips, of Coventry, Assistant-Sur geon Tibbits, of Warwick, as well as other medical men, were at once in attendance, and it was found that he had fortunately only suffered a flesh wound. This was bandaged on the spot with a handkerchief, and the use of stimulants restored him to conscious ness and enabled him to leave the ground with as sistance. The inspecting officer, after drawing at tention to the necessity of keeping rifles at half cock instead of full cock when awaiting orders, prior to firing, as had been the case in the above instance, passed a high compliment upon both officers and men for their efficiency, the bayonet-drill being particu larly worthy of commendation. The North Cotswold Rifle Corps competition has just come off at Chipping Campden, when the suc cessful shooters were :—Ladies' prizes -Ist, Private Skey ; 2d, Sergeant Warner ; 3d, Private C. KingzetL Town subscription prizes--Ist, Sergeant Gallon, 15th Gloucestershire ; 2d, Private A. Beard; 3d, Private Skey. Town extra prize —let, Private Gallop; 2d, Private Drew. Officers' chal lenge cup--Private Jeffrey. Carupden challenge eup—Private hod. The distribution of prizes took place in the market square after the shooting, Mrs. Kennaway, the wife of the vicar, handing them to the successful riflemen. Later in the day there was a dinner, at which the Earl of Harrowby presided. An all-comers' rifle Contest took place at . Pen zance on Wednesday : there were 57 competitors. Lieut. Pollard, of the Wadebridge corps, won the first prize, £lO. The annual prize shooting of the Barnstaple Vo lunteers was held on Tuesday, seven shots, at each distance of 200, 400, and 600 ya r ds. C or p ora l Marsh made 35, the highest score, and won Sir W. Fraser's gold medal and £2. Sergeant Seldon won the second prize, and Sergeant Williams the third. The chief Yorkshire Volunteer event has been the annual three days' prize shooting of the Ist West Yorkshire rifle volunteers on Bootham Stray. With the exception of the last day, the weather was highly favourable, and some capital scoring was. effected; on the last day a very puzzling, gusty rear-wind completely played with the bullets of the best marks men. The meeting has been remarkable for the debuts of several recruits as first-rate shots. The prize list amounted to about £lOO. The Ist East York Rifle Volunteers shot for a silver salver, value 7 guineas (presented by Mr. Bell), at 200 and 400 yards, five rounds. There were 55 competitors, and the prize fell to Private Bulmer, who tied with Ser geant Meggitt, with 35 marks, but the former had made most bull's-eyes at the longe range, and was by the regulations declared the winner. The Settle (11 men) and Keighley (9 men) Volunteers con tested on the ground of the latter, at 200, 400, and 500 yards, when the Keighley men won with a gross score of 300, against 280 for the Craven team. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Sept. 25. Matters go on here very much as usual, notwith standing the Fenians at this and the other side of the Irish Sea and the Atlantic. There is a good deal of interest manifested in the proceedings of the police against the would-be liberators of Ireland ; but the first excitement has completely passed away, and there is nothing more than a little extra-ordi nary curiosity as to who and what the conspirators are, and what they will do or be done with, evinced on the part of the people generally. The feeling of the greater number would be, perhaps, best described as a looking out for or expectancy of something sensational either with regard to the movements of the Government or the Fenians, or for any revela tions that may be made affecting the guilt of the prisoners. There is a good deal of reticence ob served by the authorities in reference to the whole affair. The name of the informer, if any, has not leaked out; but it is thought the documentary evi dence in several cases will be overwhelming. The city detectives had, it is stated, wormed themselves into any secrets worth possessing, and it is expected they will be able to make out strong cases, showing how completely the Fenians here were exposed, or were at their mercy for some time past. The police continue to bring in an occasional prisoner charged with high treason or Fenianism, and it appears that -this course is having a good effect on a number of the Associates, who are beginning to wish them selves well out of the affair. The excitement among them will, I think, hardly subside until news of how the intelligence of the arrests was received by the " brethren" in America reached those here. An ex cessively warlike merchant tailor vas arrested, as I informed you, on Saturday. In his possession were found a bowie-knife and two revolvers, one of which was loaded. There were also found some documents, a drill-book, and a number of cartes de visite, in one of which the prisoner was represented standing in his shirt sleeves, with a belt round his waist, and in the most approved bellicose pose, with his left hand upon the stock of a revolver, and the right hand grasping a formidable bowie-knife, evidently on " murderous deeds intent." An arrest has also been made at Parsonstown by the Constabulary, who re ceived on Saturday a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Edward E. Morrissy, a medical student, for merly an assistant in the ,.. establishment of Mr. Baxter, Baggot-street. Mr. Morrissy was arrested same day and brought to town yesterday morning, when he was handed over to the custody of Acting- Inspectors M'Dermott and Giles of the G division, who charged him with being concerned with the Fenian movement. A rather important arrest, it is stated, has been made in Liverpool by Detectives Smollen and Daw son, who yesterday arrived at the North Wall from Liverpool, having in custody George Archdeacon, of 11, Bidder-street, Liverpool, where the pri soner was arrested on Saturday, charged with having been a prominent member of the Fenian Brother hood. When captured he had in his possession a number of documents relating to the " movement," and several copies of the Irish reuge newspaper. A Liverpool correspondent of Saunders's .Arews Letter gives the following particulars with reference to George Archdeacon : " The information which has accumulated during the last few days inculpating certain, persons in Liverpool in the Fenian conspiracy has at length attracted the attention of the authorities in Dublin, and to-day two officers of the Dublin police (detec tive department) arrived here for the purpose of executing a warrant for the arrest of a man who has long been known as the leader-in-chief of the party in this neighbourhood, and latterly a news agent and agent for the Irish People newspaper. The officers commissioned with the arrest were Acting-Sergeants Smollen and Dawson ; and they, having obtained the assistance of Detectives Smith and Laycock, and the co-operation of the acting chief of the detective force here, Mr. Superintendent Kehoe, proceeded to Archdeacon's-house, No. 11, Bidder-street, Islington. They found him in the shop, and called him into the street, where they charged him with high treason, explained their errand, and apprehended him. Without allowing him to communicate with his family, and with the object of preventing any excitement in the neigh bourhood, they conveyed him at once to the police station in Dale-street, and placed him in a cell. When he was first confronted with the officers outside his own house he said, 'You have no right to touch me; I am an American subject, and I have a paper in my pocket to show it.' At the detective-office he was again formally charged, and he asked to see the authority for his arrest. The warrant, in which he was charged with divers other persons for treason able purposes, was shown to him, and he repeated that he was an American subject, and produced a certificate, or what purported to be a certificate, of his naturalisation as an American subject. After he had been locked up the officers returned to his house, and made a search, which was, we believe, so far successful that they obtained possession of most important papers. Some of these letters were from headquarters in America, recognising him as the delegate representing Lancashire in the Fenian Brotherhood ;' others were communications from Now York, London, Sheffield, and various towns in Lancashire, showing that Archdeacon had visited a large number of places in promotion of the ob jects of the movement ; others were documents re ferring to sums of money transmitted from America to enable him to agitate as a Fenian agent in various districts ; and one was a receipt for money ap parently received by him in support of the move ment, as the result of a collection made at the close of a lecture in the Free-trade Hall, Manchester. In the shop they found a large number of copies of the Irish People. While they were making the search two volunteers, in the uniform of the Liverpool Irish Brigade, entered the shop and asked for copies of the Irish People. A good deal is known of Arch deacon, and all that is known confirms the belief that he is a confirmed conspirator. He springs from a family once well known in Castlebar, county of Mayo, where, at various times, his father, his brother Matthew Archdeacon, author of some records of "Irish Risings," and other books), and himself have been engaged in public tuition. They kept an aca demy for some years. Previous to 1848 George ( the man now in custody) removed to Manchester, where lie became known as the leader of the Young Ireland party. At the great meeting in the Free-trade Hall, held to celebrate the union of the Young Irelanders and the Chartists, when Meagher of the Sword and John Mitchell were present, Archdeacon made a to united actio n w ith t h e speech, pledging his party Ch ar tists in that city. When the rebellion broke out in 1848, Archdeacon found it necessary to get out of the way, and he disguised himself as a priest and got out of the country by some south-west port in Ireland to America. For seven years after his escape he remained in America, and it is not un likely that during that time he became naturalised as an American citizen. At all events, he became connected with the Ferdan movement ; and since his return from America in 1855, or thereabouts, SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.
