John Gallagher, the registered proprietor of the
Patriot, was also arrested in Dublin, charged with

We learn from Saunders' News of yesterday that
es Wetlands, a yousg nark mood William Duncan, resi-
ding at No, 1, Bride Urea, was brought before Mr.
&roar, in the Polio* Commissimiers Court, in custody of
ONIONS Daemon and Doyle, of the G Division, upon a charge
of soliciting a gentleman is take &Fenian oath. Mr. Oliver
Henry Miocbin,of 142, Wahl:nines-road, deposed that on the
previous night, between ten and eleven o'clock, while he
was io Hyoes's Refreshment-rooms, Dsme-street, the
prisoner asked him to become a Fenian, stadia, that be
himself was one, and that be had the net-wary
Pacers for the purpose concealed. Mr. Miochin, of course,
refused to do so, and preferred the charge against the pri-
soner, who was arrested for being drunk. The complainant
further stated that the prisoner was sot quite sober at the
time, and also admitted that he himself bad drank a good
deal. The prisoner altogether denied the charge, allegine
that be was in the Queen's Theatre uotil 20 minuted to 12
o'clock, and that the complainant bad mistaken his
, identity. Constable Patrick Clarke, IllS A, proved that be-
I twain 12 and 1 o'clock the prosecutor called him across
the street, and pointed out the prisoner to him as having
sought to swear him in as a Fenian. Michael Kilkelly,who is
employed in Haynes" Refreshment-rooms, deposed that the
prosecutor was not quite sober at the time, and that be
saw other persons there, but be was quite sure the prisoner
i was not there. Mr. Strong. discharged the prisoner. The
tor reiterated his statement as to the prisoner's
r=g, but hoped it would sot go abroad that he was a
spy or informer. Mr. Scrooge thereupon told him that it
was his duty to give information respecting any person who
teedered so illegal oath to him.
The Dobfin Express of yesterday says :—" Futurism

suspicious cruisers hovering about the coast are cii rotated

Coes are very properly adopted to prevent the clandestioe
landing of arms or syropathisets, should so insane an
attempt be made, whieli„ however, after recent events. is
extremely improbable. We learn from our Cork corre-
spondent that the strictest surveillance is kept over all
American vowels which touch at Queenstown. The luggage
of the passengers is carefully stretched before they are
allowed to land. The mysterious moverneots of her
Majesty's ship Liverpool, which it was supposed left her
moorings in march of a Fenian cruiser, are now explained.
The object was to anticipate the boats which usually meet
the incoming vessels, in order the more effectually to pre-
vent the destruction of suspicious pews."

A meeting of the Step',horst Agricultund Associa-

Rev. Mr. Crick, rector of Steplthurot) having proposed the
health of the archbishop and clergy of the diocese, Mr.
William Jell roes to protest against the toast. He said
that bat for the spenh which the chairman mode last year
in responding to this tout, be should sot have made a single
remark oe the present occasion. Lam year the chairman
said the &loots sought to be instead by the clergy of the
church of egland and other ministers wore hostile. Now, I 1

to the neat was so put that Lune could be in-

felt it his duty to eater his retest. They did not meet

were a great many good men in that church. Mr. Jolt
