When they had been disarmed and robbed of belts and equipments,- some of their captors proposed to shoot them, and there was much disputing over this proposal. Two men, who looked like Irish Americans, addressed the crowd, and said the police had only done their duty in resisting the attack, that if they were shot the people would be hung, and that the better plan would be to let them go. These counsels prevailed, but before the constables were allowed to go every effort was made to induce them to join the army of the Irish Republic. The promise of comtnissions, good pay, and other advantages had, however, no effect, and ultimately the policemen were allowed to go away unscathed. The insurgents afterwards en camped on a place called Bottle4fill, near here, but executed a strategic movement on the other side of the bill %),ith such rapidity when a few.troops came in sight that only three of their number were taken. Seeing that one of the attacking party had been wounded at the barrack, there was a certain-gene rosity in their release of the five policemen. And when•severe measures are urged against these insur gents, it must be remembered to their credit that, from whatever motive, they have been merciful when mercy was hardly to be expected from them, and have forborne plunder and outrage.in the country districts they have traversed. I venture to think that in treating them the true policy will be this:— Make the Most signal example of the leaders ; let the troops deal in fair fight with any who resist; but give no ground for retaliation now or hereafter by outlawing the wretched herd of shop-boys, clerks, and drapers' assistants who are now fleeing like sheep, even when no one pursues them. Martial law in any part of Ireland, administered as martial law has been elsewhere, may make this a war of barbar ous reprisals, instead of au outbreak memorable chiefly for the childish folly of those who took part in it.

M'Neill, left this town for the Galtee mountains. The troops will probably camp out and spend two or three days iu searching for rebels. Yesterday the country people paid back into the banks here great part of the money which they withdrew before the outbreak. This, of course, is satisfactory as a proof of return ing confidence, and shows that even the credulous think the Fenian game is played out, and that the British Government may survive the shock it re ceived last Tuesday.' The Roman Catholic priest here this morning strongly denounced the Fenian leaders, and pointed out the folly of those who took part in the movement. I hope his flock wero con vinced, but fear that on this topic the priests do not exercise much influence. The temperature is much milder to-day, a thing to be regretted on some grounds, for I can imagine no more salutary punish ment to the Fenians than a pilgrimage upon the mountains in the bitter cold we had up to yester day. If there were a continuance of such weather, it would be worth while to draw a cordon round the Galtee range, if one could, and keep the fugitives up there, instead of sending movable columns to hunt them down into the plains. Three " milesmen" employed upon the Great Southern and Western Railway have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the outbreak. It seems they admit that they were out with the insurgents, but they say they were pressed into the service, and left when they had a chance. There was a report that Millstreet, small town on the railway half-way between Mallow and Killarney, would be attacked last night, and troops were accordingly sent there from Mallow Junction, but, of course, no attack took place. In the same way, the town of Tipperary was to have been attacked any and every night since I have been in these parts. If there is anything in such reports as this, they probably cover some " operations "—if that be not too grand a word—elsewhere. It is very unlikely that men who have been scattered by a hand ful of constabulary will attack stations possessing a considerable garrison of regular troops. LIMERICK JUNCTION, Monday Evening. The flying column commanded by bol..ll.l‘Nuill, which left Tipperaryyesterday to search for fugitives in the Galtee mountains, returned this afteruon. No prisoners were made. Other flying columns are being organised. Special trains with troops from Limerick passed through here to-day en route for Thurles and Mary- borough. Much alarm existed owing to an apprehended attack, and the loyal inhabitants have associated themselves for defence. Arms have been seized and arrests made by the police. All was quiet to-day at Tipperary, Thurles, Ma' low, and Cork. DUBLIN, March 11. At Mountmellick, in the Queen's County, a man who must have been mad or drunk, rushed from a publichouse on Saturday with an eight-barrelled re volver, and commenced firing at the constabulary barrack. He was fired at by the police and wounded in the right arm. Another shot from the barrack killed a man in the street. Mr. M'Leod, R.M., and Mr. P. C. Morgan came promptly to the place with a large force. Six Fenians were arrested, two of them being seized on the road and brought to the barrack by a single constable named Kerr. Warrants for the issue of a Special Commission will be prepared to-day, and the Commission will commence proceedings at the earliest moment allowed by law. On Saturday evening the detectives arrested nine persons in Camden-street, Dublin, where they were said to be in council in a publichouse nor, usually frequented by the Fenian brotherhood. Most of them were bricklayers. One, Arthur Forrester, a book-keeper, refused to state his residence. Another clerk, named O'Hara, from Earl-street, had two re volvers, one of them having ten chambers. Forrester and another, named Hollywood, were both armed with revolvers. When Forrester was taken he made an attempt to shoot the officer who arrested him, Constable Carey. He regretted afterwards that he had not succeeded, because, he said, he was deter mined that Hell or Heaven should have either him self or the constable. Forrester is about 18 years of age. He is known to have been the Fenian sub centre of the district of Manchester. In 1866 be Murphy. At came to this country upon the business of the Con federation, under the name of Thomas the Fenian raid upon Chester Forrester was in charge of 40 men from Manch ester. Immediately after wards he came over to Dublin, and on Feb. 16 he was arrested at the North Wall, after leaving the steamer. He was subsequently discharged on ac count of his you th. rrhd prisoner was a contribu tor to the columns of the Irish People, under the mines" William Tell" and " Argus." lie is stated y the police to have been frequently found tam b per i n ,- , with soldiers, a nd he was known to have been a companion of Thomas Baines, who was sen tenced at the last Commission to 10 years' penal ser vitude for endeavouring to seduce soldiers from their allegiance. The bricklayers are believed to have been enlisted in the conspiracy by Croneyn, the foreman at the works at the new chapel at John's lane, who left the country at the time of the seizure of the Irish People. The prisoners were immediately taken to Chancery-lane station, and thence they were removed to Richmond Bridewell, having been committed on remand by Cul. Lake. There was a report of a Fenian gathering near Clontarf last night, bat it proved to be unfounded. The persons arrested at Drogheda on the night of the rising were removed on Saturday to the county gaol at Dundalk. There was a "scene" at their departure. A. detachment of the 85th Foot froth Dublin, and 24 of the police from the depot, Phoenix-park, arrived by rail for the purpose of escorting them to Dundalk. About half-past 11 o'clock they proceeded to the locatprison, accompa nied by 25 of the Drogheda constabulary, when the prisoners were handcuffed and brought out.

The scene was one of painful excitement. The prisoners, who were for the most part ill-clad, appeared to bear up against their unenviable con dition, unless when a rush was made by a mother or a sister to embrace a son or brother, and then some of the younger prismers winced and wept.

Arriving at the railway station th e inisoners were disposed of in several carriiges, and the train left at 12 o'clock for Dundalk, a cheer having been raised by the crowd. The town was remarkably quiet on Saturday. -It is reported that 20 persons from Slime have beon missing since Shrove Tuesday. The prisoners, 48 in number, were all of the artisan class:, many of them stout looking fellows. A large crowd assembled to see them from curiousity. When they arrived at the station of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Rail way they were met by a troop of the 10th Hussars and a large body of constabulary, under the com mand of Captain Kevian, county inspector, and Mr. Edward K. Supple, sub-inspector. This formidable escort conveyed the prisoners to the county Louth Gaol, where they were safely lodged for the present. MONDAY NIGHT. No fresh disturbances have taken place about Dublin, but alarming rumours of intended risings prevail. The metropolitan police force are about to be armed with Snider rifles. A national schoolmaster was brought up to-day for attempting to climb the walls of Mountjoy Pri son, and a young gentleman named Crofton was arrested last night at Portobello Barracks ; he had a loaded pistol and ammunition, and a skeleton key that opened one of the gates. Bail was accepted for his appearance to -morrow . The Lord Mayor of Dublin has decided to bring an action for damages against the proprietors of the Evening Mail for the libelous letter signed " Clon currp," which has excited general indignation in the city. The Smells of Edinburgh—How it. Strikes a Stranger. (From the Scotsman.) A gentleman of rather a cosmopolitan turn, who assures us, however, that he is " not the wandering Jew,"sends us the following notes of his experience of our ancient city : I have been driven by an unquiet spirit to walk up and down in the earth for many years, and have seem many curious old towns, and smelled many curious odours. My'nose is tolerably well versed in smells. There is a city on the coast of South Ame rica, Callao yclept, where one may experience a cer tain peculiar perfume nowhere else to be attained in its full flavour. The ships that load with guano at the Chincha Isles have a faint trace of this perfume lingering about them after they have discharged their cargoes, but it is not the genuine article. There is a stench that arises on a nice hot day from the Alster -Bassin at Hamburg that is especially nasty. The fish m arkets of London, Paradise-street in Liverpool, and some of the slums of Manchester, are not scented with the zephyrs of Araby the blest. If you walk through Valparaiso, taking care to keep in the middle of the street, about midnight on a summer evening. you will experience a sensation in your olfactory nerves that you will not forget in a hurry. If you venture to walk under the windows of the houses, you will fare worse. Washington market, and the Five Points in New York, furnish some extracts that are not so pleasant as Lubin's. There is an exceedingly horrible smell to be obtained in Con stantinople ; and the fig market at Symrua has one that is hard to beat. But I think that, during my walks through the Cowgate and certain circumjacent places, I recognised all of the smells that I have mentioned, and some others that were quite new to me. Sometimes I caught them separately ; again, they came, not as single spies, but in battalions. Iu one spot, where I had paused to admire some panes of stained glass, in the front of a dilapidated and ancient hut, which, with their delicate and curi ously worked iron frames, seemed as much out of place as a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear, a blast reached me wonderfully rich in odours. As I in haled its fragrance, I distinguished the musty, sour, and sickly smell of old clothes half washed iu dirty water, stale tobacco smoke, flat beer, ancient fish, the exhalations of a sewer, and something penetrat ing through all the rest, and only to be compared with the hot and foetid breath of a workhouse casual ward, a slave ship between decks, and the cell of a police station filled with drunken men on a wet night—all mingled together in one horrible and dis gusting mass. But I had not come to Edinburgh simply for the purpose of inhaling new perfumes, or renewing the remembrance of old ones. I had long contemplated a visit to this ancient, renowned, and romantic city ; and my deferred purpose was whetted by a warning that had reached me of the destruction im pending over the most ancient portion of the Old Town. I had heard in London that, if one would look upon Edinburgh as it was 300 years ago, he should hasten thither quickly; for the fiat for its destruction had gone forth. So, with a keen but mournful interest, I wandered through the antique streets, and wynds, and closes ; and I may as well admit that, before I had completed my investiga tions, I rejoiced at the thought that ere long no one could look upon the sights that I saw therein. Antiquity and romance are all very due ; but health, and comfort, and common decency are still better. I looked upon the windows in the Grassmarket, whose lattice had so often been the frame of pale and saddened faces, gazing out upon the spot where rose the gallows and the stake, at which many a good man laid down his life in the dark days of old. I saw St. Giles's Church, where, sitting in regal pomp upon a gilded throne, Lord Darnley listened with frowning countenance to the denunciations of John Knox, who warned him of the fate of Ahab and of the idolatrous Queen Jezabel, of whom dogs did eat the flesh and drink the blood. I saw the house of that bold preacher, whence he was taken before the enraged Court and ordered to preach no more lest he should be slain. I saw the spot where Darnley was killed, and the street through which the beautiful Mary passed in queenly splendour, amid the exclamations floated,nobles whose palaces lined the way —now the abode dirty whose a o n f d p aws‘gi• whose o e k r nn e tys r ssi mystic cnn triple iwp o I d ee r ballsec I p o r t h i n e e4 s erlemy banners s rds e , the sculptured shields and coats of arms of departed lords. And I went into the closes of St. Mary's and Blackfriars' and Fishrnarket, and saw sights and heard words that harrowed up my soul for s s o e m nt e im ti e m nt e a t l h r er e e g a r f e t t er t , h a a n t t yn ho i r g o tt ugl h il a y di any entertainedl for the destructioneaneifancied that of l hail thesead seen antiquities. I t i something before this of human misery and degradation; but after all that has been said, blood is thicker than water ; and although one is pained to witness misery and degradation among negroes and Indiana, it does not come home to hirn as does the spectacle of such sufi, ring among his own race. The earth is full of dark places that are the habitations of cruelty ; but in some of the places that I saw in these closes, where penury makes his home, disease reigns, and vice and crime hold their ghastly revels, I witnessed scenes that I had never dreamed could be enacted in a Christian city in the nineteenth century. No doubt, you have again and again n described all th ou in and wi t y h o your a r r c e o e l i t umn l o columns what I am which, indeed, cann ot be truthfully described in it t notn ad g e o mei gy sick t o t t o see, language fit for publication.

SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.-It would be very hard if in these days of Free Trade the present Ministry should have a mo nopoly of indiscretion in deeding with IMorm. hitherto it must be coll . & ssed that the mistakes have been almost altogether on one side. Blunder after blunder has been committed by the Government until sober-minded people, who desired that a great question should be adequately treated and settled upon some permanent basis, began to despair of any fulfilment of tl.eir hopes. Except in the debate on he Address, when Lord Russell showed his appre ciation of the Reform movement by ascribing it all to the fatal Chandos clause, there has been nothing. to counterbalance the alternate indecision and rash ness of the Administration. Mr. Gladstone has displayed a caution which has been the surprise and delight of his friends. Last night, however, Lord Derby and his colleagues must have felt some con solation. A motion for franchise returns, of. whiCh Lord Russell had given notice, had twice come on with the orders of the day, and twice had been postponed on account of his indisposition. Yester day he reappeared in the house of Lords, and at once began to play into the hands of his antagonists. The decorum of the Upper House is always unfa vourable to outward manifeStations either of sym pathy or of dissent, and nothing could have been more silent or more dreary than the languid atten tion.with which the querulous retrospect of Lord Russell was endured. He ranged to and fro from the 17th to the 19th century, touched upon the anti- Reform opinions of Lord Liverpool and Lord Castle reagh, favoured the Peers-s,sne-mo:e -with his views on the Chaudes clause, and ended with an enlogium on the Reform Act of 1832, which provokes the inquiry why he - should ever have been tempted to sacrifice his own offspring by the bill of last year. The ostensible object of Lord Russell's speech was a desire to procure certain returns on the electoral franchise. From the form in which his motion was framed it seemed that he wished to have a classfied return of the electors in 1865-6 of the places which existed as Parliamentary boroughs before 1832. It was acknowledged, how ever, upon the absurdity of this requisition being pointed out, that the language of the motion was unfortunate, and that nothing more was wanted than a re-arrangement of certain returns relative to existing constituencies which have already been pre sented to Parliament. The real object of Lord Russell's motion was, however, something very dif ferent. He had, as he said, " given frequent and much attention to Reform," and nothing can be more natural than that a veteran Reformer should desire to express his opinions on the question at a time when a Reform Bill is under discussion in the Cabinet. The members of the Cabinet must have been content to sit and listen, and recent experience warrants the belief that they might have sat and, listened with advantage. But Lord Russell's speech partook of what a modern philosopher describes as "the infinitely little." Instead of being instructive it was irritating ; instead of taking a large view of the question, it carped at trifles ; instead of being statesmanlike, it was mean, paltry, and, in a very small way, egotistic., Lord Russell first fell foul of Mr. Disraeli's statement that the Reform Act of 1832 deprived the working classes of a share in the representation they had previously enjoyed, and that it was an object of Reformuow to repair that wrong. This declaration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is one of those half truths which might have been disregarded as the mere garnish in which it pleases him to dress up his proposals, but Lord Russell chose to meet it with counter-statements, which were as partial and incorrect as Mr. Disraeli's own. He maintained that there are more working men on the register now than there were before 1832. This is perfectly true, though it is perhaps open to dispute whether the proportion of working men on the register now be greater or less than it was before the Reform Bill. The material question, however, turns more upon the distribution of elec toral power than upon the number of electors, and it is certain that before 183 S the working classes absolutely controlled the elections at Preston, Old ham, Coventry, and other places where the fran chise was vested in the " inhabitants at large," or some equally extended constituency. Thus, " Orator" Hunt was returned for Preston, and it is more than doubtful whether Mr. Beales could now find any avenue to Parliament. If Lord Russell was ill advised in his treatment of the first topic he discussed, he was still more flag rantly wrong in the second. Lord Russell objects to the statement that there have been five Reform Bills, all of which have failed. It is true he ac knowledges that he introduced a bill in 1852, but the Government resigned before it came on for debate. He was, he admits again, the sponsor for a bill in 1854, but the Russian war intervened. The only Bills which have been failures were those of 1859, 1860, and 1866. 1% e wonder he allows even so much as this to be true. The Bill of 1859 was abandoned because Lord Derby refused to defer to a motion made by Lord John Russell which Mr. Gladstone a fortnight ago condemned not indirectly as factious, The Bill of 1860 was overlaid by interminable speeches, e.t.a the Bill of 1866 was withdrawn on an issue between rating and rental. If the first bills were not failures, why were the last ? It is trifling to attempt to distin guish between them. We know not why Lord Russell should be unwilling to face the fact, in nowise discreditable to himself, that each successive bill perished because it was regarded with invincible repugnance by the House of Commons. The only part of Lord Russell's speech which appeared de signed to serve any useful purpose was that in which he quitted what Lord Derby not inaptly called his " autobiographical reminiscences," and d e p r ecated by anticipation any proposal of House hold Suffrage. Even this was subject to two serious drawbacks. It seemed as if the main motive of Lora Russell's disapproval of such a proposition was its inconsistency with the matchless measure of 1832. This in itself will not be generally deemed a Conclusive objection to any proposal of Reform, and, indeed, were it pushed to ite logical conclusion it would be fatal to all suggestions of change. The second drawback to the value of Lord Russell's cri ticism is that it is made wholly in the dark. Like the rest of us, he knows nothing of the plans of the Government, and all his objections are hypothetical. We are not the less glad, however, to have a decla ration of opinion from Lord Russell that it would be unwise to introduce such a change as would swamp altogether the middle classes, and deprive them of all weight or power. The country does not Wish it, the House of Commons does not wish it, and it would be wholly inconsistent with the pro fessions of her Majesty's Ministers. What is de sired by Parliament and the nation is such a mea sure of Reform as will take the question out of the dangerous position in which it is now placed, and this is precisely what Lord Russell has always failed to see. We want an ample enfranchisement which shall remove the cause of offence found in the con tinued existence of unenfranthised classes, and coupled with it such a redistribution of electoral power and revision of electoral methods as shall give each elector a guarantee his vote will be a real and not a nominal gift—a pledge that he will not only have the privilege of voting, but full representation in Parliament. It may be necessary to endure novelty to secure these ends, but there are occasions when it is the part of a statesman to brave novelty ; and, grave as are the other objections to the scope and character of Lord Russell's speech last night, the gravest is perhaps this—that it showed an in curable unwillingness to review the preconceptions of another generation ; a clinging to old schemes of Reform, the utility of which haS 'passed away ; a hesitation to acknowledge that new circumstances mast be dealt with and new difficulties faced by new principles of action.

THE FENIAN INSURRECTION. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) MALLOW, Saturday Evening. Mallow Junction is a point of great strategic im portance. It commands the railway comurtnication between Cork and Dablin, Cork and Limerick and the west, and is one of the places which in their vague rambling way the Fenians proposed to attack and occupy, so as to cut off Cork and the west from succour, and givce full opportunity to: the local pa triots who were to have established theJrish Re- public in those parts. it is hardly necessary to say that, whatever they have proposed to do, they never ventured within gunshot of Mallow, or of any other place held by troops. General Sir Alfred Horsford has now transferred his head-quarters hither from Killarney, and has a force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery here under his immediate orders. Before his arrival the - soldiers were billeted through the town. There are obvious objections to such a dis- position of troops just now, and they are now con centrated so as to be at once available in case they are wanted. Although the insurgents have not cared to come within sight of the troops, they still infest the neighbourhood. On Friday evening parties of them called at several farm-houses and residences of the gentry a few miles from the town and carried off arms. They also now and then force the farm labourers and others to join their ranks; but these men generally kiln with reluctance, and desert as soon as possible. Here, as iu other places, howe7cr, great difficulty is experienced by the authorities in procuring information as to the movements of the insurgents. The country people are unwilling, or afraid to tell what they know, and the military de tachments sent to the points at which Fenian bands are said to have been seen invariably find the coast clear. It is probable that false information may sometimes be given, or that reports may be set on foot by the insurgents themselves in order to harass the troops. As the roads for miles around are swept night and day, officers and men at this and other stations have little rest, and the soldiers are furious against enemies who melt away at their ap proach, and whose tactics seem to be to wear them out by this kind of service. Around Mallow the resident gentry and some of the well-disposed inhabitants have formed them selves into volunteer parties, who accompany the military patrols, and are, of course, very useful as guides along the cross-country roads. It would be well if this example were followed more generally throughout the disturbed districts. A low range of mountains south of the town affords good har bouring ground to fugitives, and there is little doubt that during the intensely cold weather of the last few days the Fenians must have got shelter in the peasant cabins or the farmhouses which lie scattered among the hills. Last night some hayricks were burnt 'at one of these solitary farmhouses, but in- quiry this morning makes it appear doubtful whether the fire has anything to do with the insurrection, and whether it is not rather owing to private malice. Some rocket signals were seen, however, last night at about the same time by a sentry and one or two other persons, and it is also alleged that they were answered from the town. These mysterious lights were, of course, a good deal talked about,and to-day the constabulary officer here remembered that upon one of the Fenian prisoners lately taken a mysterious manuscript had been found, which might possibly throw some light upon the occurrence. On examining the manuscript an artillery officer here discovered that it was an exact transcript of a page in the little manual of " Field Service" published for the British army. The part transcribed was a description and explanation of Colomb's system of " Flashing Signals." I am told, on evidence less satisfactory, that similar sig nals have been seen on the Galtee mountains, and the fact I have mentioned seems to show that the Fenian leaders have studied and turned to account thin code, which in a mountainous district like the west of Ireland they would, no doubt, find very useful. The constabulary have been withdrawn from the exposed barraeks around Mallow, and arc coucen - trated in the town. Of course, they take a portion of the patrol duty, and I can bear testimony to their vigilance, for within an hour after arriving here this evening I was twice arrested as a possible Fenian. The police were perfectly right in thus challenging a stranger who looked about him with an unseason able curiosity, and seemed to have no other business, nor could I be otherwise than amused when they lis tened with evident incredulity to my explanations. They were respectful but firm, and put business-like, straightforward questions, which showed that they knew thoroughly well what their duty was and how to do it. Of course, my credentials set everything right, and we parted excellent friends. I have seen a good deal of the Irish constabulary during my two missions to this country, and can hardly speak too highly of their intelligence, alert, soldierly bearing, and discipline. Their good conduct and steady loyalty duringthis troublous time have been one greatstum bling block in the war path of the Fenians, and will, I am sure, be remembered gratefully hereafter by the whole nation. A point to be noted with still greater satisfaction is the behaviour of the troops. The Fenian leaders encouraged their . deluded fol lowers—deluded on many more points than this— by declaring that hundreds of Irish soldiers would join the Fenian ranks. Now, I am afraid it must be admitted that, as a general rule, a soldier, whether he be called Brown, Macpherson, or O'Flanagan, will promise anything for drink, and probably when excited by a little whisky, and seduced by the pros pect of a little more he would take, not one Fenian oath, but 20 of them; but as to deserting comrades and regiment in order to join such a rabble rout as did not fight at Tallaght, Ballyhurst, and Bottle hill, events hare shown the notion to be just as pre posterous as it always appeared here to all whose opinion possesses any authority. St. Patrick's-day, which falls next Sunday, is now spoken of as the time for the real rising. What we have had hitherto, it seems, is only a feint and small diversion ; what is coming on the 17th is the genuine article. I can only say that, j!idging from their conversation, the soldiers will be only too eager on that or any other day to meet any Fenians who will stand to meet them, and will show very clearly under what Crown and Constitution they are prepared to live or die. One of the incidents of the insurrection was the capture of the police barrack at Ballyknockanc, about six miles south of Mallow: This feat of arms is supposed to have been achieved by a party of in surgents from Cork. There were five policemen in the barrack, and when summoned to surrender they refused. A volley was at once fired at the windows, and they replied by shooting one man through the shoulder. Upon this the insurgents disappeared from the front of the house; for, though called bar racks, these police stations are nothing more than small houSes, often with scant accomniodation. Un fortunately there were no windows at the rear, and the policeman could not, therefore, defend the b ick door. This the insurgents battered in, and then, piling up wood at the foot of the stairs, set fire to the heap and withdrew. "We were prepared to have held the staircase against the whole of them," said one of the constables in describing the scene to me ; " and we had no idea that they were going to burn us out." There was a woman in the barrack at this time, and the police asked the Fenians to let her come out. At first they refused unless the police would give up their arms, but ultimately she was a llowed to come out. The fi ve constables remained in the barrack some time longer, until the staircase was burnt away and the smoke became stifling. They would undoubtedly have perished in the flames had not the parish priest, the Rev. Mr. Navel', pre ' railed upon the people outside to 17ring a ladder and place it at one of the windows. I) lwn this ladder the policemen came, carrying their rifles, which were snatched from them before they reached the ground. Two or three shots were fired at thei n as they de scended, and one shot grazed the cheek of one of MLS. S. A. MARSH'S NEW NOVEL. Now ready•at all the L braries, in 3 vols., - A I I) E N II 0 0 D.
