HOUSE OF LORDS. —TM:RADIX, FEB. 14.

at 5 o'clock.

THE FENIAN OrTBREAK TN IRELAND.

The Marquis of OLANRICARDII—My lords, seeing the
noble earl at the head of the government in his place, I
wish to ask him whether there has been any communica-
tion received by the government from Ireland as to a
Fenian outbreak, and as to which there are reports of a
very grave character throughout the town. If the noble
earl has received such information, perhaps he will be
good enough to state to the house what it is. (Hear.)
The Earl of DERRY—My lords, I can so entirely under-
stand the anxiety that your lordships feel for the fullest
information with regard to the unfortunate circumstances
that have occurred within the last 24 hours in Ireland,
and I so fully recognise the duty on behalf of the govern-
ment of withholding nothing from your lordships, that
though the information we have received is only such as
could be received by telegraph, and therefore necessarily
meagre and unsatisfactory. yet I am
.prepared to state '
entirely and without reserve all the circunistiumes that
have come to our knowledge. Yesterday afternoon we re-
ceived information by telegraph that between Mallow and
Killarney and Valentia the telegraph wires had been cut,
and later in the day we received a telegram that the
company had repaired the wires, and were regularly
patrolling the line for the protection of the wires.
Lam night, a little before 11 o'clock. I received a tele-
graphic communication, to the effect that an outbreak had
taken place—we do not know what were their numbers,
or how far they were armed—hut that at Cahirciveen the
coast-guard station had been sacked, and a mounted
policeman conveying despatches had been shot by a body
of insurgents. I have to say, however, that we received
information this morning, that the man, though shot, was
not killed, but that his horse and his arms hair been taken
possession of by the mob. The information further went
on to say that there were groat apprehensions at Killar-
ney, on which place—which is forty miles distant
from Cahirciveen--the insurgents were about to
march. As Killarney was at the time totally
unprotected considerable apprehensions prevailed fur
the safety of the place, but instructions were imme-
diately sent to remove troops from Cork, Tralee, and the
Curragh. In the course of the night we received three
telegrams, the last of which informed us that the first de-
tachment from Cork had arrived, and that the second was
expected in the course of a few hours; and we have learned
to-day that N.OO men were on their way from the Curragh,
and had arrive,! at Mallow. The movement of the troops
had been a great relief to the minds of the people of Kil-
larney. There had been no further attempt at any out-
break, except that the police barracks at Kell,, eight
miles from Cahirciveen, were attacked last night
by some of the insurgents, but we have not
heard that they had approached nearer to Killarney, and
we have not heard of any syni toms of disturbance in any
other part of the country. have the satisfaction of
stating that in the immediate neighbourhood of Cahir-
oiveen they have arrested an officer who was to take the
command of the insurgents. He was taken upon a car,
with strongly criminatery topers in his possession. I am
happy to inform your lordships that I believe that the
feelings of excitement and alarm have very greatly Kuh-
-1 tided. At the conference, my lonia, which I felt it my
duty to hold last night with the Commander-in-
Chief, the Home Secretary. and Lord Naas, it
was determined that Lord NaasAlOtild proceed to
Dublin, and be accordingly did so at an early hour
this morning ; and we telegraphed to Lord Strathnairn,
who goes over by the mail train to-night. We have no
reason to believe that this was anything more than a local
outbreak, but the utmost vigilance will he exercised, and
instructions have been given to the general in command
and the admiral on the station to be on the look out, and
the government will omit no effort to crush this apparent
rising in the bud. I think this is all the information
which I am able to lay before your lordships, sad it
comes down to the latest hour. I trust that the Measures
taken will be sufficient to put this mad insurrection down,
and it is satisfactory to know that in no other part of Ire-
land is there the slightest appearance of outbreak, or any
sanction given to the rising at Cahirciveen. (Hear.)
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE would be glad to
hear from the noble earl if he could explain whether
these persons came by sea, or whether they were natives
of the district.

The Earl of DERBY—I have given your lordships all
the information which we have received. It must be
remembered that the occurrences took place less than
twenty-four hours since.
The subject then dropped.

the lut few hours, to reconsider the resolution announced
at the opening of parliament, which we were told by the
Irish Attorney-General was come to by his advice and upon
his responsibility, namely. for the diacontinuancc of zhe
suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland. (Hear,

BAGWELL—It has been reported also that three
or four steamers have landed parties of Fenians from Ame-
rica at Valetitia. I should like to know whether there is
any truth in that statement.
Mr. WALPOLE—I have no such information, and I do
not believe in the report. With regard to the other ques-
tion, the hon. gentleman cannot expect um to give him an
answer at present. (Hear, hear.)
GENERAL NELSON AND LIEUTENANT BRAND.
Major JERVIS—I wish to risk the Chancellor of the Ex•
chequer whether the attention of her Majesty's govern-
ment has been drawn to the recent arrest in London by
the civil power of two officers of her Majesty's service in
consequence of a court-martial recently held at Jamaica ;
whether taking into consideration the grave and responsi-
ble duties imposed upon officers of the army and navy by
the legislative enactment. palmed for the regulation of
these services, and the result of the inquiries instituted by
the War Department and the Admiralty with reference to
the conduct of the officers of both these services during the
recent disturbances in Jamaica, her Majesty's government
purpose affording those officers who have been so arrested
the fullest legal assistance. (Hear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I have no
doubt whatever that if any officer in her Majesty's service
obeying the command of his superior officer performs acts
which are afterwards legally impugned it would be the
duty of the government, of course, to defend him. (Loud
cheers from the ministerial side.)

t Chester, whether any inquiry was to be sande as to the ex-
' tent to which tae Fenian* Lad tress n to rely on finding sc.
I compile...a amongst the soldiers, police, or other... in autho-
rity ; w iictL,r the government 1.11 conniolettie risk of
any such parties failing iu their duty if called upon to act
in each cases ; and, generally, for such information as to
the nature, extent, and ormulisation of this conspiracy as
might in case of necessity euaLle the public to provide for
their own protection.
Mr. WALPOLE said the only important part of the
question which required an answer was that relating to
Feuianisin in the ranks. His tight hon. and gallant friend
the Secretary for War bad given a r.bstantial answer on
that point ; but he (Mr. Walpole) was enabled to add that,
according to the report be had received from Captain
Edwards, who commanded the 54th at Chester, that °dicer
was of opinion that the rumour as to Fenianisui ut that
body of men was entirely without foundation. (Hear.)
