formation this morning from Liverpool that a vessel which
kft the Mersey yesterday had on board two Irishmen, whom
it was supposed answered the description of Kelly and
ryrf, and that it was thought probable the ship (a
feigner hound for Cardiff) might make for this harbour
if the weather continued unfavourable. The bitterri

Permitted, two boats, the one from her Majesty's steam-
ship Wirers, with a fall crew, and the other a shore boathaving ,
in her the superintendent of the police and two of
."2.. melt, ran alongside and overhauled her. Two Irish-
'"roi answering in some respect' to the description given,

Teasel thoroughly, and when perfectly satisfied that no
°54 lite on board whom they would be justified in detain-
