"FENIAN NEWS" FROM IRELAND.

The New York correspondent of the Daily News,
writing on the 28th ult., concludes with saying :
" The Fenian news from Ireland received this
morning is creating great excitement here, which,
if long protract.d by the temporary suooesa of the
outbreak, might become uncontrollable. We know
so little as yet, however, that I have but little to
say."
The

" Fenian news from Ireland," alluded to,
appears to consist of despatches from London, sent
by Atlantic Cable, and published in the New York
papers. These despatches are headed in the New
York World as follows :
INCITING Mill NEWS.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT DESPATCHES BY THE ATLA.NTIC
CABLE.
THE FENIAN 6 IN THE FIELD.
--------

RRITISH TROOPS CALLED OUT TO SC PPRESS THE REVOLT.

THE CHANNEL FLEET SENT TO IF.ELLND.

ALARM OF irtiiLONDON GOVERNMENT NEWSPAPER. 9.

The following are selections from the despatches
themselves as given by the same paper :

London, Nov. 27.

The Fenian starm here is on the increase. Two full
regiments of reodar troops and several ships-of-war have
been this day peremptorily ordered to Ireland with all
possible speed. The entire Channel feet wM in a few
days be in Irish waters.

London, Nov. 27, Noon.

Contrary to expectation, the Fenian troubles in Ireland
have assumed considerable proportions. The excitement
in London is intense, and approaches only in magnitude
to the des on the occasion of the news reaching here of
the °labels& in India. Not only is danger anticipated,
but there is no lettlit iiisaMoviie theirs seriven 'outbreak has
already occurred.
Two regiments of national troops were urgently ordered
to Ireland yesterday afternoon, and several others ma.
mentarily expect to receive orders. Transperte were being
prepared all through last night at Portsmouth, for their
conveyance to Ireland.
A large detachment of marines were last night sent over
to Queenstown on the war steamer Plymouth.
The Globe editorially hints that a more serious trouble
with the United States is really at the bottom of the
Fenian outbreak.

London, Nov. 27, Evening.

A marked sensation is manifested here, and throughout
the entire country, at the prospect of an immediate out-
break in Ireland.
All the London daily and evening papersorith the solitary
exception of the Post, simultaneously use strong and bitter
language against the Fenians, and warn the intending
rebels, in no measured language, that they may expect no
mercy at the bands of the English government.
The following are extracts from the press of this city in
regard to the Fenians, and go to show that there is no
abatement of the alarm which the movements of the
brotherhood create : (The extracts• follow).
Troops are being sent to Ireland, and gunboats are sail-
ing for Irish poets.

REVIEW OF THE TWO-YEAR-OLDS OF 1866.

No. u.

TO TEE ZDiTOR OT THE =rang.
Sts, —Achievement, Cellins, Captain Kidd, Fitz-
roy (now dead), Hippie, Knight of the Garter, The Rake,
and Viridis comprised a strong regiment of cracks to shine
in their true colours during the two first racing months of
the year ; and it was evident that if any great gun were
waiting for the summer before he underwent the ordeal of a
public trial, he would have to be tried very highly at home
before his owner could hope to see him reach the top of
the tree. Besides the above-named, other good homes
showed before the Two Thousand week, viz., Corporal,
D'Estournel, Eglarnour, The Hermit, Lady Hester St
beam, and hiarksman, but they were either "in the rough"
or unlucky, and (lid scarcely so much as Bounceaway,
Jeannie Deans, Misfortune, Marino, Opoponax, and
Problem, who looked and proved fully capable of
tackling • any second-raters that might come out for some
time. By the Chester week the Bescee and Lady Hester
had improved sufficiently to each win a race; hut the
Queen of the Rhoodde was universally admitted to be
Mannella, who gave excellent promise of future triumphs,
if she could only win by a head from Prodigal. Another
week saw The Rescue fit enough to make a fight of it with
Seville, who made her debut as a winner at Ascot r,
the pair finishing before Opoponas and the useful link-
hoolie ; and D'Estournel had also progressed so we as to
be able, with Tlb advantage in the weights in both canes,
Bret to run Achievement to three-quarters el .a
and home a head before Hippia. Here was some-
thing really for behind DEstournel were fhe uncer-
' barn Friponnier, Marksman. Fakir, Satyr, Dick Turpin, The
Rescue, Huntsman, Misfortune, Veruhun,Plunder, Miller's
Maid, and a boot of others ; and if he were not entitled to
the Sunninghill Stakes, for which he beat Hippia (being dis-
qualified through a cannon), or neither Friponnier nor
Marksman were in a winning humour, he gave such plain
indications of improving, that the Derby books were very
quickly taken about the grandson of Sweetmeat. Salisbury
introduced us to sue of the Marquis of Hastrmip'
prized yearlings of 1565, Ring Charles, who could just
win a selling race wherein he was entered to be sold for
2JI. ; but the moat interesting races of the two days *
Wilts were those between Misfortune and Bouncesway en
the one band, and Seville and Captain Kidd on the other,
Avron, the good-looking Glenmassin, that never put in
an appearance elsewhere, meeting nothing to try his mettle
beyond Bounceaway, and she was not at home over the
T. Y. C. But plenty of good horses met at Bath, and to
start with The Hermit convinced his friends that the defeat
at Newmarket IMO " not his running" by very easily dispes-
ing not only of CeUina, at half a mile, but likewise a large
field that included Seville, Bonnceaway, Opoponax, and
Land Tax. Friponnier also gratified Newmarket by wile-
ning two races with the most ridiculous case, defeating
Arundel (who came out with the reputation of being better
than Ceiling), Captain Kidd, Seville, Satyr, Dick Turpin,
the unprepared General, Sc., ins style to prove Achieve-
ment a real wonder. The northern stables sent oue or two
respectables to York, where Honestish managed to beat
Manuella and Thermometer, and Narino did a stood thing
over half • mile—her best course ; but Harpenden
was not so prolific of celebrities as hereto Tore, the
best that figured there being Pirate Chief, and he WA not
sufficiently prepared to beat Lady Pain, though he did
turn the tables on her when next they met at Wye, and
likewise deformed Batty. Nor did Epsom tell us anything
new, except that Achievement could beat the Hermit rind
D'Estournel anyhow, as she did in the Wooslcote, where
the vaunted foreigner, Jenne Premiere, and Jasper, miry
came out to be disgraced. Problem, even with her penalty,
was too good just now for Commissioner and Chignon in a
half-mile spin ; and nothing better than Maggie making a
debut at Manchester, we had to wait till Ascot for any
very attractive new face. Here, however, the youngsters
held high revel, raw after race showing them up in the
most glowing colours. First there was the Maiden Plate,
wherein the Palmer did the deed that raised the
hopes of his being a second Teddington, Cap.
1 tarn Kidd, D'Estournel, Chignon, Little Rover,
Python, Bus in Urbe, and a score of others, having to
suffer being " scattered " by him—but at half a mile only.
Next, Hippie carried a ;lb penalty over the severe T.Y.C.,
and beat the best speed out in Saccharometer, Ostreger,
and The Duke, in addition to " losing " Narino and Marks-
man ; the great form she was in just now being further
demonstrated in the Farnhill, when Friponnier and
Viridis, with Vespasian, had to bow to her. Thus no one
could doubt that this was a great year for two-year-old
fillies, particularly when the queen of them, Achievement,
had cantered home before Vauban for a Triennial, mad,
carrying 51b extra, the Salamanca filly, Dragon, Chignon,
Arundel, &c., for the New snak'e's. Vasstan eeme
out with a fair reputation ; and Dragon had
previously carried the French colours bravely in a
tight with the Hermit for a biennial, as he was
only beaten a neck, and got home lengths before Lochaber,
the Leading Suit, II roughton, Pericles, the Dean,
Arundel, the Rescue, Manuel,, and Huntsman, the four
first-named of this lot coming out with great reputations,
though they failed to sustain thew. Still, the Hermit won
easier than was generally imagined, and there can be no
question about his having been one of the very best—if
not the best—colts of 1866, whatever he may be in '67. A
two and three-year old Biennial showed Marksman near
the mark for the first time, as he was second to Sunnylocks;
neveitheles, this filly beat him very easily, with Hunts-
man, Arundel, and Lochaber to boot, Mr. Pitt also
ruining home so far behind her, that but for being such
a jade, the half-sister to (ioldylocks might have been
almost as great a credit to the sex now as are Achieve-
ment or 'Viridia. Against such quality as that just men.
tionedl the cream of the claiming race performers will
look very poor, and yet tho exhibition of Magpie in the
Trial should not be overlooked, for it was very creditable
indeed, although it is strange that he, like Hippia and
others of Baron Rothschild's, should betray so much
better qualities at Ascot than elsewhere.
The June flowers were not over gay, the New
Windsor meeting showing as nothing like what we
saw at Ascot, except the Dragon, who galloped
home before the goodlooking Clarice and Sea
Mew, almost like a (ilailiateur, and was entitled
to no small credit for his perforniance, as another of his
opponents, Satyr, had previously made short work of
Python, Bandmaster, the Catherine Hayes' filly, and Co.
Tortuga was the best that the minor events introduced us
to, and she was out of her element when having Hunts-
man, Pirate Chief, and Lady Pain to do with at Hampton,
the young Orlando acquitting himself fairly. for he won
very easily. Lady Rosehill and Rejoinder being the best
doers at Newton, that meeting does not reluiro dwelling
upon ; nor would Beverley had not Elvire and New-
land, the pioneers of Richmond's great Derby horse
Plaudit, done so well, the latter beating Romping
Girl and Honestish right cleverly. In fact only
at Stockbridge did the followers of the youngsters
learn much during the month. It was here that
Viridis, in the Bibury Chanipagne Stakes and the
Nursery, made her way among the cracks, Ler vast supe-
riority to Sunnyloeks, a brother to the Masson, Jeannie
Deans, Narino, lllinkboolie, Prodigal, k.c., being palpax for
able;
and all the looney on her stable companion Laud T
the Nursery coda not prevent her giving him :t0 h. and
a beating. The Hennit added to his prcst.ge by beating
this same Viriolis, with Vauban and Pericles likewise,
without an effort in the Triennial ; and then he cantered
home before Lady Hester, the highly-tried Julius, Vauban,
and Sonnylocks for the Troy, so that when Marksman came
out in his true character and beat Seville in one spin, and
a lot of good old ones in another on the same
day, there was no fault to find with the juveniles for what
they did towards keeping up the excitement. A French
filly, NOmea, was the beet that the minor contests pro-
duced, she beating Pericles, Prodigal, and Lochaber pretty
cleverly, but so much to the astonishment of her owe
arty that it must be taken for granted Pericles was not h
and
alf
nhardhimself, or it was a false-run race. Montag
Canard were the winners at Chelmsford, owing to their
good luck, the latter meeting Eglamour out of sorts, and
the foreigner Sweet Herne in the most friendly spirit ;
but Frost's defeat of Arundel at Liverpool was

seem expressly instituted to " work" horses for handi-

" nowhere" in one race to a pair like Midwife and Duchess :
these, with Magpie, Pirate Chief, the Prodigal, Narino,
the General, a North Lincoln filly out of Molly, Rug in
Urbe, Smut de Charita, Rglamour, and Marmite distin-
guished themselves most in the minor events. Bounce-
away, too, had gone on so well since Lincoln ae to be able
to be at Problem three lengths, receiving Slb. in a match,
having the week previously given 101 b. and a beating at
Ipswich; but she was not, at the same time, anything
like the ladies of the July, Exeter, and Chesterfield, which
were all true run mom, except in one particular, when
Dragon, being " off," got but third to Lady Hester and
the well-tried Golden Bloom. In the July, Achieve-
ment, D'Estournel, end Vauban ran home in the
order named, the " promising" Montgoubert and Janus

THE FENIAN AGITATION IN IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY NIGHI..

Two brothers, named Kelly, tobacconists, in Sack-
ville-street, were arrested on Saturday night, owing,
it is said, to their names being in a list found on
the person of Dr. Power, recently un•ested in
Temple-street. Other arrests are expected. From
the same cause two arrests of farmers have taken
place in the county of Limerick, near Foyues.
Yn
Belfast, on Saturday, three persons—a draper's
assistant, a mechanic, and an engineer and clerk
in a flax spinning establishment—were arrested.
The prisoners are said to have occupied important
positions in the conspiracy.
LELFAST, SUNMAT NIGHT.
On Saturday three persons—William Walsh,
draper's clerk ; John Wilson Ferris, hook-keeper ;
and John Murphy, mechanic—were arrested in
Derby-street, where arms, ammunition, and trim-
! scalable documents were found. The prisoners
were brought before the resident magistrate and
remanded till Thursday.

THE ittl,i7l NATIONAL EDUCATION 130AE11.—We
have reason to believe that the Roan) of Education have
submitted to the government a supplemental estimate of
the cost of carrying out certain changes (amounting to
nearly a total revolution of the system), in accordant*
with plans originated during the Chief Secretaryship of
Mr. Chichester Fortescue, The changes will involve
an additional outlay of some 20,000/. Something like a
third of this sum is to be devoted is the payment of
chaplains of various creeds in the model schools. About
half as much is to be appropriated to the purpose of in
creasing the number of teachers, and boarding them in
convents and monastic establishments, and of enlarging
the staff of professors in the training iLhool. About
5,0001. is to be employed in establishing vested rood 4
schools, on the denominational principle—two•thirils of
the expense to be defrayed horn the grant and one-third
from local funds. A similar sun' is to be applied to the
i maintenance of non-vested model schools. Drbila

The reply of the Lord-Lieutenant to the me-
morial adopted at the meeting of Cork magistrates, preb-
-
sided over by Lord Fermoy a few days was pu
lished on Friday. More troops, and authority to arm the
loyal inhabitants, were asked for. TLe reply, in effeM,,
concedes both demands. Fresh troops are to he stationed
in the county, and ships stationed along the coast, while
Lord Abercorn leaves it to the local authorities to carrot
special constables.
ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The yacht-
ing cruise having run with fetal through mahy months,
Mr. German Reed has announced its withdrawal and the
reproduction of Mr. Toni Taylor's very capital entertain
ment of The Family Legend, which was the cynosure of
Regent-street during the Exhibition of ISe.2. A dub of
novelty in songs and jokes, rendered necessary by
a lapse of four years, will give a fresh interest to the re-
vival with those who have already enjoyed its refined de-
lineations of character, its telling dialogue, and humourbus
situations. New scenery, new dresses, and new effects will
no doubt enable Mr. Reed to do justice to this, as he
always does to every entertainment of which he has the
superultendenoe.
