FENIAN ALARNS.—Some excitement was caused
at Falmouth on Friday night and throughout Saturday
(says the Westcre .81,,rning Next) an consequence of a
letter having been received by a borough magistrate that
an attack would be made that night by a body of Fenian'
on Pendennia Castle. The communication was made
known to Major Chaupin, the officer in command at the
castle, which is protected by sixteen persons only—
namely, eight of the staff of the Royal Cornwall Miners'
Artillery Militia and eight regulars. Most of these had
retired to bed when the report reached the castle. Soon,
however, they were aroused from their repose,
and called up to take arms against the Fe-
nian'. The whole were accordingly provided with
extra ammunition and stationed (armed) at different
points around the castle, ready to fire if any daring Fenian
should venture to approach. Here they remained during
the whole of the night. The two largo mounted guns
pointing to the town were also charged, each with Illbs.
of powder, to awaken the people in the town should the
attack be made, and every precaution that could neces-
sarily be taken with sixteen hands to be ready to fight for
their Queen and country ; but everything was quiet and
peaceable throughout the night, and the soldiers retired
to rest in the morning after the joke had been played
out. Strong commeut is. however, made in the
neighbourhood on the light protection to the castle
of sixteen persons only ; a large quantity of ammunition
and arms are kept there, and some further protection
seems to be required. The Cumbrian Leader says that
considerable uneasiness has prevailed in Cardiff since Satur-
day morning. The authorities received anonymous warnings
that morning that a Fenian raid would be attempted either
on Saturday or Sunday night, and that the Drill Hall was
specially marked for vengeance. Consultations were held
between the mayor, superintendent of police, and the vo.
luteer officers. This led then: to determine that still grader
watchfulness should' be exhibited at the Drill Hall, and
an increased number of men wee ordered to be placed
there—the Rifles and Artillery sharing the duty between
them. Another precaution taken was to place the fire
brigade in immediate readiness at the station where the
Taff and other engines are housed. Police arrangements
were also made, care being taken that no men should be
i withdrawn from the streets during the night. The day
men were kept as a reserve at the chief station in
St. blaryetreet. The military authorities at Newport and
Pembroke were communicated with by telegraph, and 200
men of the 13th depot, stationed at Pembroke, were held
in readiness on Saturday evening to depart by special train,
if needed, and also a steamer to cross the ferry to Ney-
! land. Similar preparationa were made at Newport.
At the recent Oxfordshire sessions it was agreed to add to
the north and west porches of the militia armoury and
' police quarters at Oxford bullet proof doors, and similar
doors to the east entrar.ce to the police quarters, and at
the point which internally connects on the ground floor
the police offices and the arniceuy. It was also resolved to
I construct loopholes in the north wall of the old magazine,
and to place a ballet proof and loopholed sliding door at
the upstairs entrance from the police rooms to the armour/
department. These and other defences are in addition to
those recommended by the War Department.
SCAPEcTED FENIAN OUTRAtiE IN IRELAND.—
The Singstovrn correspondent of the Freeetan'e Jw,rrral
says that the quiet neighbourhood of Blackrock was dis-
' turbel on Sunday night by the discharge of firearms. He
adds that from inquiries it appears that while two men,
who were supposed to be crown witnesses, were standing
near a tavern, a man came up and discharged • revolver at
one of thorn, who promptly returned the fire, but his
assailant. who was accompanied by other men, jumped on
a car and drove rapidly up Merrion.avenue, the police foil-
' lowing. The injured man, it is also added, proceeded to
town at • late hour to get surgical assistance. A
teledram ifrom Dublin yesterday says:—" The perpetra-
: for of the outrage is supposed to be • labouring man named
Byrne, living in the neighbourhood. The man fired at is
I Reilly, • witness at the late special commission. A police-
man on duty near the scene of the occurrence followed
the car on which the assassin with his confederates were
escaping, but, being fired at several times, was compelled
to desist. Byrne, and a man named Charles Kavannah,
have been apprehaided."
