THE NEW enel PATENTaiy. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Feb. 21. The words of the National Anthem have seldom had a more gratifying illustration than in the tre mendous blow just struck at the Fenian Brotherhood by the Government. Their " politics" and "knavish tricks" have been thoroughly " confounded." The leaders, waiting with their weapons in their hands for the moment when her Majesty was to be deposed in Ireland, have been quietly gathered into prison, while the rank and file of their enlisted host—sworn to defend the Irish Republic—have been scattered like chaff before the wind. Already, it is said, had the lands and the mansions of the gentry and the merchants in the several counties throughout the country been surveyed and allotted among the American adventurers. Already had the houses of the loyal inhabitants been marked with a cross, in this case the symbol not of valuation but destruc tion ; and it was believed that the Head Centre would have cried " Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war last Sunday night, had not Parliament with such wonderful celerity enabled the Government to prevent horrors such as Ireland has not known since 1641, for the leaders of the insurrection were to be men who had been familiar with burning and slaughter and plunder for three or four years in the Southern States of America. Those who made light of the danger with which society has been threatened knew not the desperate character of those men, or the effect of the training they had undergone for the sanguinary mission they had sworn to accomplish, and for which they had made such marvellous preparations under the greatest possible difficulties. Among those arrested yesterday is Patrick J. M'Donnell, who has, it appears, been at the head of the movement since the arrest of Stephens, to whom he was next in command. Some months ago, it is said, the police learnt something about his position in the conspiracy from a box containing arms, addressed to him, which they found in the goods' store of the City of Dublin Steampacket Company, North-wall, but he eluded their vigilance till yesterday morning, when he was found con cealed in a yard in the rear of North King-street. As the deputy of the Head Centre, it is believed that he was in close communication with him up to the last moment ; and that he and others now in custody formed not only his council of war, but his bodyguard, deprived of which his capture may soon be expected. The temptation to win £2,000 by betraying him might easily be resisted so long as it was possible that he might take the place of Lord Wodehouse in Dublin Castle ; but it will be dif ferent when all such hopes have perished, and de spair succeeds panic. The least success would have caused persons of a higher class to join the conspiracy. Of this there is some indication in the arrests made at Trim, county Meath, on Monday. These included Mr. Malone, one of the wealthiest and most respectable merchants in the town ; Mr. Sheridan, son to the postmaster ; and Mr. Leonard, draper. In Ath lone, on the same day, Mr. J. P. Fitzgerald, for merly a clerk at the Broadstone terminus in this city, was among the prisoners. In Limerick 14 persons were arrested yesterday, mostly young men engaged as clerks in respectable establishments, one an extensive grocer, another a draper, and three publicans. A correspondent writing to the Express, from Limerick, yesterday evening states that at a quarter to one the warrant for the committal of the pri soners was signed by Mr. Collins, R.M., who had a strong party of Lancers in attendance outside with the prison van, in which the whole were conveyed to the county gaol. The cheering of the populace was immense, and taken up by the prisoners, who waved their hats in recognition, and appeared to be in excellent spirits. On the arrival on Monday of one of the Liverpool steamers belonging to the Dundalk Steampacket PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. Company Constable Lynam, and a coastguard named Patrick Head, seized a case containing nine horse pistols and 20 of smaller size. There were also in the same case two double-barrelled fowling-pieces, together with a number of rifle-bullet moulds. WEDNESDAY EVENING. A body of armed Fenians, assembled for drill on Saturday night in a house at Cullen, in the county Tipperary, fired repeatedly on a patrol of police, and shot one constable, who has since died of his wounds. Among the Fenians was a private of the 17th Regiment on furlough. The Fenians have fled, but most of them are known. This afternoon the police found in St. Andrew's lane 142 pikes and 36 pike handles. Government Interference with Steam Shipbuilding. Yesterday evening, the Society of Arts held one of the most crowded and important meetings of the season, to hear Mr. Thos. Gray, of the Board of Trade, read a paper " On Modern Legislation in regard to the Construction and Equipment of Steam ships." Amongst those present were :—Mr. Farrer, Board of Trade ; Mr. Mayo, Registrar-General Merchant Seamen ; Mr. H. Maudslay, Mr. Money Wigram, Mr. Samuda, Mr. E. Chadwick, Captain Selwyn, R.N., and an immense number of ship owners and others interested in steam shipping and the passenger trade. In the absence of Mr. Lowe, M.P., the chair was taken by Professor Huxley, F.R.S., supported by Mr. Wm. Hawes, president of the society, and several other members of the council. Mr. GRAY, who was loudly cheered on rising to address the meeting, began by laying down the principle that Government interference with trade, commerce, or manufacturing industry was decidedly injurious, and that in free and healthy competition was to be found invariably the best security for having the public well served. Applying this to the matter in hand, he showed that the Legislature had sought to secure safety for passengers in steam ships by providing that each such vessel should be divided into three watertight compartments, but this was entirely insufficient, as might be seen in diagrams which he had placed on the walls. The Great Britain, Samphire, and other vessels had been saved by their watertight bulk heads, but not those provided for by the act of Parliament. Had those stood alone the vessels must inevitably have gone to the bottom. It was the bulkheads in excess which the judgment and prevision of the owners had taught them to provide that saved the ships. All Government regulations, Mr. Gray argued, must be based on fixed and in flexible rules, and these must soon become inap plicable to the ever-varying exigencies of commerce. Having cited the instances of the Great Britain, which was divided into seven distinct compartments, and the Golden Fleece into six, to show how imper fect was the Government regulation, he further il lustrated its fallacy by pointing out that the same rigid rule was applied to the Persia and Scotia, of 4,000 tons, the Great Eastern, of 20,000 tons, and the Lady Bird, of 9 tons. The bulkhead clauses, as they were called, had at last been repealed, and their failure was a proof how inexpedient was Go vernment interference in mercantile transactions. Other clauses equally mischievous were still in ac tive operation, and the object of his argument was to show the expediency of their repeal also. Mr. Gray next turned to the question of boats, and showed very happily how absurd were the regula tions which ordained provision of boats according to tonnage, without any reference to whether or no the vessel carried passengers, and gave several forcible illustrations, and then most successfully ridiculed the Government regulations with re spect to safety valves in steamers. The instances in which these were either defeated or evaded were lu dicrous, and were loudly cheered by the meeting. Hav ing examined the cases of the Times, the Tonning, and the Cricket in some detail, Mr. Gray inferred that Government inspection was a perfect failure, having been completely satisfied in all the above instances, and explosions took place nevertheless. The paper in conclusion showed that in the cases of compasses, anchors, and chain-cables, all Government interfer ence had proved perfectly futile, and in many cases positively mischievous. His conclusions were that, in all matters connected with the building and management of shipping statutory regulations and Government inspection were of the slightest possible value, whilst they were decidedly obstructive to the free course of trade and destructive of the individual responsibilities of shipbuilders, shipowners, and ship masters. Between 1856 and 1865 there had been 21 Board of Trade inquiries into shipwrecks, and in all these cases the accidents had arisen, not from non-compliance with statutable regulations, but from gross neglect of the simplest nautical precau tions on the part of the master. Mr. Gray's paper, of which the above is an imperfect and brief outline, was listened to with great attention all through, and was loudly cheered at the conclusion. In the discussion which followed, Mr. F. WOOD feared that the lecturer had been taking lessons from the great modern chief of philosophical heresy, and had taken a work called " Liberty" as his model. He (Mr. Wood) believed that the inferiority of the crews was the main cause of modern marine disas ters. (Hear, hear.) The British sailor was almost extinct, and his place was supplied by a medley of foreigners who did not understand or distinguish it port" from " starboard" when the captain gave his orders. SAMUDA complained of the sharp competition which, cutting as low as possible, compelled ship builders to send out inferior work. He approved of Government interference in so far as inspection went, but not to the extent of direction. In the case of emigrant ships, it was decidedly beneficial. Mr. W. HAWES entirely concurred with the views of Mr. Gray. In 1852 he had seen our steam trade with Australia nearly ruined by Government inter ference. The inspectors knew nothing about steam ships, and nearly brought the trade to a deadlock. Mr. EDWIN CHADWICK would leave matters to individual responsibility and self-interest, but under certain restrictions. When we first began to send convicts to Australia the majority were thrown overboard en route. (A laugh.) However, he arranged that the shipowner should be paid, not for the number he took on board, but for the number he landed in good condition , and the improvement was marvellous. (Laughter.) In that case the principle of self-interest did good service. (Hear, hear.) The same results subsequently occurred in the case of the pauper em igrants, amongst whom there was a terrible mor talit y at first, but which en tirely ceased when the head -money became payable on the safe landing o f the cargo. (Loud laughter.) Mr. MONEY WIGRAM approved of Government inspection as a protection to the shipowner. The shipowner was obliged to trust to the shipbuilder, and the services of the Government inspector were very valuable, as between the two. He approved also of Government inspection in the case of pas senger ships. Mr. FARRER thought there was no medium be tween thorough and incessant inspection, and com plete reliance on the interests and responsibilities of the owners. He preferred the latter, and if the owners failed in their duty he would make them amenable to the common law. Mr. 'lv. MAuDsLAY pointed out that a ship might be built perfect in every respect, but after wards might deteriorate ; in which case he thought Government inspection might be very useful and necessary. Mr. Maudslay gave some amusing in stances of the ingenuity of engineers in defeating the precautions of the Legislature. After a few words from Sir E. BELCHER and Captain SELWYN, a vigorous attempt was made on the part of the meeting to have the discussion ad journed ; but Mr. Hawes pointed out the inexpe diency of adjournments, and .. .. The CHAIRMAN put the question, when it was ear- TIROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will bo required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

A vote of thanks to Mr. Gray having been carried by acclamation, The CHAIRMAN wound up the proceedings by say. ing that it was an extraordinary thing and a most healthy national symptom to have a distinguished Government officer like Mr. Gray arguing against Government interference with trade and commerce. The question before them was interference or non interference; andhe must remark that no one seemed to be in favour of such interference. The question was whether Government should be king or police man. Some were for a little king, but the majority preferred the policeman. (Cheers.) He had himself been recently engaged in a Government inquiry into the state of the fisheries, and had seen two remark able instances of the absurdity of Government in terference. In one case the two Governments of France and England had agreed that fishing boats should each have a trawl beam of a certain length, but in making inquiries of the fishermen it was as certained that they had never heard of the rule nor ever obeyed it. If they had, it would have com pletely prevented the gradual enlargement of their boats, which had been going on ever since. (Laugh, ter.) The other case was still stronger. At a certain place on the coast of Scotland the fishermen were prevented from fishing, lest they should scrape up the spawn of the herring, but it was afterwards dis covered that what they really fished for were flat fish, which were themselves the great devourers of the spawn. These facts had completely turned him against Government interference in matters of trade, commerce, or industry. The sitting then broke up, the unanimous feeling being that the discussion which had just terminated was the most important and interesting that had taken place in the Society of Arts for a lengthened period. The National Rifle Association. The annual report of the association has just been issued, and some facts of general interest, as well as of importance to the volunteer world, are contained in the bulky volume which records another year's practice at the now national pastime of rifle shooting, It will be remembered that the general election and last year's contest at Wimbledon ran side by side, and it was anticipated that the meeting on the common would be a failure; but this gloomy expectation was not realised, for in at tendance and shooting the meeting was no less suc cessful than its pl'edecessors, and the competitors for the various prizes who had to fulfil the duties of citizenship by recording their votes in the various boroughs and counties had opportunities given them for doing so. Though the meeting was very suc cessful, the balance carried forward was not so large as in previous years, owing to a greatly increased expenditure, which this year the council will feel it their duty to reduce where practicable. With re spect to the smallbore competition of the gunmakers, as to what arm should be used in the second stage of the Queen's Prize of 1866, there were three en tries. Mr. Rigby (whose rifles gave so much satis faction last year), Mr. Henry, and the Birmingham Small Arms Company, with the Whitworth. Mr. Rigby was disqualified through not depositing his rifles two days before the competition, which was owing to a:train breaking down, and the competi tion lay between the Whitworth and Henry rifles. The former was fired with the mechanically fitting (hardened lead) bullets ; and, though victory was declared for the Whitworth's, it was won by three decimals only. The Whitworth will therefore be placed in the hands of the competitors for the second stage of the Queen's Prize, subject to an objection that the Whitworth contravened the rules by using a copper " scraper" for pushing down the fouling in the ammunition. With a view to encourage very long-range rifle shooting, the council have offered two prizes of £25 each for competition with heavy rifles at 2,000 yards—one prize for muzzle-loaders, the other for breech-loaders, the first-named to be not more than 151 b. weight, the other 121 b. The council has suggested to Government the advisa bility of making a little change, involving no cost, in the back-sight of the Enfield rifle, for it has been found that by flattening the bottom of the V sight by a few strokes of a file the blur which interferes with the shooting is done away with. A suggestion that the smallbore competition should be confined to the cylindrical bullets—the cheaper ammunition —on the ground that the use of the mechanically fitting bullets, which are very costly, debarred many from entering these competitions, had been considered by the council, but it was felt that to do this would be a retrograde step, and inconsistent with the asso ciation's position as promoters of improvements in rifles and rifle shooting. With respect to the much mooted questions of reducing the cost of sighting the shots from ls. each to 6d., and at the same time giving more prizes and subscribing to All-comers' Meetings, the council state such a course might be safely taken if the association were supported by Government money, like the Belgian Association, who are well supported by their Government, the Tir building and enclosure being government pro perty, and of the 62,000 f. offered for competition, 25,000 f. are given by Government, 5,000 f. by the King and Royal Princes, and 5,500 f. by the city of Brussels—a statement showing that no comparison can be drawn between the two associations. The council, however, consider that the experiment of lowering the cost of the sighting shots to 6d. each is worth a trial, and they promise to consider in what competitions it can be most safely tried. Th e council regret that the Belgian riflemen did not come last year, and so give them an opportunity of doing the honours of Wimbledon in return for the great kindness shown by the Belgians to our Volun teers who visited Brussels. A reception committee was appointed, consisting of Earl Spencer, Colonel 31 , 111urdo, and Colonel Kennedy, and it is hoped nothing will this year interfere with this interna tional visit. After showing that the complete adop tion of the Wimbledon system of targets for class shooting would be beneficial in every respect, the report goes on to show the various arrangements in connection with the last meeting on Wimbledon Common. There were 2,200 persons encamped on the common during the meeting, of whom 765 were Volunteers. The Wimbledon Grand Trunk Railway, worked by the Military Train, had continued a decided success, and an extension to the " iron house" was under consideration at some future time ; and thanks were tendered to the Ist Surrey Volun teer Brigade, under Capt. Irvine, for guarding the camp. Within the last year the Cumberland, Buckinghamshire, Ross-shire, Lincolnshire, and Otago (New Zealand) Associations have affiliated 15 colonies now connected making a t o t a l o f with the 38 B ems cou e n lv ti e e s it counties wandhs central body. The number of visitors last year was greater than on the previous occasions, there being in 1864 20,253, and 21,839 in 1865. The • prizes had increased in value, though not •in number, there be ng in 1864 627, of the value of £5,918, and in 1865 580, of the value of £7,590. The degrease in num ber was owing to there being last year no City of London prizes, as in the previous year. The total income of the association from all sources for last year amounted to £15,544 19s. 6d., and the expen diture to £14,729 3s. 5d., which shows less income than the previous year by £638 15s. Bd., while the expenditure was greater by £1,275 18s. 9d• This increased expenditure is most satisfactorily ac counted for by the payment of additional prizes, • arrears of War-office charges, and incr eas ed staff of markers. The council look upon the co ndition of the association as most satisfactory to a ll concerned in its welfare, and this concern is very g eneral, even if it is not shown in the most substantial manner by the large body of the public.
