THE SUPPOSED FEN lAN ATTEMPT ON
CHESTER.

CI:CENTER, TUESDAY.
The volunteers were kept at the Castle all
night, and only disbanded about 6 o'clock this
morning. An hour or two after midnight a
second company of the 54th Regiment arrived and
proceeded to the same destination. In the evening
a telegram had been despatched to Earl Grosvenor,
who was then in London, stating the apprehended
danger to the Castle, and he reached the railway
station with his brother, Lord Richard Grosvenor,
by the mail at 1 o'clock. Nothing of importance
occurred in the night, and this morning few of the
unwelcome strangers were to be seen, though it
was reported that some hundreds of them were
still in the town. Some cartridges and bullets have
been found in the streets, as well as two
havresacks decorated with green ribbon. Shortly
before 11 o'clock a detachment of the Fusilier
Guards reached the railway station front Lon-
don, numbering 11 officers and 530 men.
They were received with cheering by a crowd on
the platform, but their only business up to the
time our parcel was despatched had been to break-
fast in two divisions at the Grosvenor and Queen
Hotels respectively, and march off to their billets.
The city was still in a state of excitement, but no
sort of danger was apprehended. Very few of the
supposed Fenians, we should remark, had left the
place by rail, and it is surmised that they must
have taken the road, at least for some distance.
The majority who arrived on the preceding day
had single tickets, though some were furnished
with through tickets to Dublin besides.

CHESTER, Tuzsour NIGHT, II o'ctocs.
The town is quiet. The Guards have caused
more excitement than the Fenian*.

CHESTER, TURSDAY ArrEasoox.

After the Ent feeling of alarm created here yesterday
by the mysterious appearance in the town of a number of
men, apparently arriving in aoconlance with a pre-oon-
certed plan, a reassuring statement gained ground to the
effect that the whole affair was an elaborately contrived
hoax planned to draw off the attention of the police from
a prizefight which is known to be pending on the Welsh
border. To-day none of the visitors who have created
such a commotion are to be seen walking about,
though it is believed several hundreds are still in the
city. It is a noticeable feet that no arreate have been
made in connexion with the supposed " raid." It is
said that revolvers were seen in the hands of several of
the men, but our correspondent could not arrive at any
well-founded evidence that such was the case, and it is
probable that this is one of the many r xaggerated rumours
that are current. It is, however•, certain that this morn-
ing one of the police found a number of gun-cartridges in a
field near the railway station. In answer to the commu-
nication of the magistrates to the Secretary of State a de-
tachment of the Soots Fusilier Guards. 550 strong, arrived
here from London at 10.30 this morning. They were re-
ceived with loud cheers by the crowd assembled in the
station.

ABEEST OF SUSPECTED FENIANS IN DUBLIN.

DUBLIN, TOVIDAY Nltarr.

On the arrival of the Holyhead and Liverpool
steamers this morning at the North Wall, between 00 and
70 of the passenger., apparently men belonging to the
working classes, were arre.ded on a chaise of Fenianistu.
They were all conveyed to riackville-lane police-station,
where they remain at pre.ut. The muiserigers had very
little money, and no arms. Three revolvers and a bullet
mould were found near where some of them were standing,
and the police suspect, from mmements which they
observed before going on board, that anus were thrown
Into the river.

_
It is supposed the prisoners had some connection with
the per.ons who appeared in Chester. They seemed to be
under the impression that the habeas Corpus Act is no
longer suspended in Ireland.
A true bill for treason-felony was found to-day against
Stephen J. Ninny.
