`?ire Irish Zrecutive has et length taken decided
measures to suppress the tressonable organiantion
known este* "Fenian Brotherhood," and in doing so
has given general satisfaction, and carried out the
wishes of all the rational and well-minded portion

of the community. Whilst few whose opinions are
entitled to weight, regard this conspiracy, as being

of a really formidable character, there can be no
doubt that as secret organisation, baring its

origin an America, exists to a oolisiderable
extent in the south of Ireland especially,
. . . .

which, if allowed to proceed unchecked,
might have ultimately resulted in an abortive
attempt at insurrection, and in the mean time was
producing great mischief by unsetlling the minds of
the people, producing an unfavourable impression
in England towards this country, and retarding
that industrial development to which alone we must
look for the future prosperity of Ireland. Those
who are acquainted with Ireland know that the

replan movement is in reality of a very con-
temptible charactar—that, unlike former attompts'at
rebellion, no person of position or respectability has
taken part in the conspiracy—that it is confined
to young, thoughtless, and foolish shop-boys,
artisans, and peasants- end that the bulk
of the people, both from natural indisposi-
tion and acting on the advioe of their clergy,
who have earnestly and frequently denounced
these secret associations, have kept aloof from all
. . .

participation in the illegal drilling, midnight meet-
lap, and other manifestations of Fenianiem of
which we have been latterly hearing so much from
the Irish country papers. But while no serious
I alarm was entertained, except perhaps by a few
I nervous and timid persons, it was generally thought
that the government ought to interfere and crush
the attempted organisation the moment they ob-
tained information which would enable them to act
_ _ _

vigorously and with efieot The public, however,
bad perfect oon6denoe in Lord Wodebouse, and
awaited patiently the action of the government in
the matter, being satisfied that when the proper
*ate arrived His Excellency would act with firm•
news and decision. He Las acted, and with the full
sanction and approval of the public has taken the
first step for the suppression of the Fenian con-

@piracy.
Last night I telegraphed the fact that the Fenian
organ in Dublin, a weekly newspaper called the
Irish People, bad been suppressed, and a number of
persons connected with it arrested and lodged in
the station-house. 1 was unacquainted then with
the particulars of the arrest or the names of the
prisoners, and I now subjoin the account of the
transaction, which appeared in Saunders News Leiter
of this morning :
Last night, between nine and ten o'clock, a number of
men of the G dirielon of the Metropolitan Police, under the
direction of Mr. Saperiatendeat Ryas, entered the premiss
