DUBLIN, JAN. 27. a.
An investigation has been carried on for some to
days past before the magistrates of Capel-street "L
police-court, relative to a discovery of some secret „
papers, which it is supposed will implicate a number at.
of persons in the infamous ribbon system. On Fri- t
day last, two men named Gerald Farrell and John it.
Rooney, the former a touter or man-catcher, em- 1,43,
ployed by emigration agents, and the other an orai- tey
nary labourer, were arres td by the police, at a house ta-
in Lower Meeklenburgh-street in this city, with a N
quantity of letters and newspapers, from various to
parts of England and Ireland, and sundry documents Ile
containing what are supposed to bo collections of st.
pass-words belonging to the Ribbon Society. A book
wkich Farrell claimed as his was also found, and in- ;
dicated a certain private division of the city into dis-
tricts. Yesterday Mr. Corballis, Q.C., who appeared 1,405
for the Crown, stated that since the informations had as
been lodged on the former day warrants had been "
issued for the arrest of several parties in England si
and Scotland. Some arrests had been made in Glas-
gow and Manchester, and also in the county of ::,*
Meath, and under the circumstances it was desirable st.
that the further consideration of the case should be
postponed until that day week in order to enable the 10
Crown to see what would be the result of those ar- 20
rests. The prisoners were accordingly remanded it"
until Wednesday next. se

Luaus, THURSDAY I:VEXING.
Major Larcom, of the Board of Works, has, it is
understood, received the appointment of Under Se-
cretary for Ireland, the official notification to that
effect having, it is stated, been received in Dublin
this day. This selection is perhaps the one of all
others most likely to be popular with all parties in
Ireland.
