THE FENIAN MOVE.VENT.-IMPORTANT
ARREST AT DUBLIN.

In consequence of information received by the
authorities some days since, a vigilant watch was
kept in the neighbourhood of the Limerick Junction
station. Parties of police were drafted in, and As-
siatant•lnspector General Brownrigg was sent down
to take the command of the force on this special mis-
sion. The exertions of the constabulary were rewarded
on Monday by the capture of personage whose advent
has been looked for for some time, and who, it is be-
lieved, had only suocceded in obtaining an entrance to
the country within a very brief period. The person
arrested is named Massey. He is a native of the oourty
of Tipperary, whence he emigrated to America, where
he obtained employment in a business capacity,
but subsequently entered the Federal army during
the progress of the war. He rose to the rank of gene-
ral, and having attached himself to the Fenian Brother-
hood he speedily attained distinction, and was ultimately
appointed " commander-in-chief of the army of the Irish
republic." He is stated to be the most trusted member of
the confederacy, and is certainly looked upon as a
leader by the people of the south of Ireland. The pri-
soner was placed und- r a strong escort, and immediate
steps were taken to have him forthwith removed to Dub-
lin. On the arrival of the 3 p.m. ordinary train from
Cork, the prisoner and his escort entered a third-class
carriage, and proceeded to town, where they arrived at 9
o'clock. The prisoner was at once removed to Chancery-
lane police-station, where he at present remains.
About the period of " General" Massey's arrest, bodies
of troops from Former, Mallow, and Templemore were
concentrated at the Limerick Junction, where they are to
do duty until further orders.
It is stated in official quasiers that further arrests may
be looked for.

THE BELFAST BANKER AND Two SUPPOSED
Fatruatt—last Friday morning, a distinguished banker of
Belfast came from the country as usual to his place of
business. His attention was attracted by two strangers
with whiskers and beards. They had evidently travelled
far, and had something of an American or colonial ap-
pearance. The Belfast banker entered into conversation
with them; but, after an exchange of civilities and
some inquiries, he surprised them by giving information
to the police, and had those strangers arrested on sus-
picion of being Fenian.. They were taken before the
magistrates, and an investigation was made into the
case. The account the two men, who are brothers,
gave of themselves was found quite satisfactory. They
had a considerable sum of money in their possession,
and cheques and securities, amounting, if we are cor-
rectly informed, to about 8001. Having just returned
from Australia, they had resolved to come northward, for
the purpose of examining the country with their own
eyes, and of looking out for a farm to purchase. Unfor-
tunately, however, they fell in with the Belfast banker.
full of Fenian apprehensions, and anxious to show his
loyalty to his Sovereign, as well as to preserve safely hi.
own coffers and the money of his customers. The Belfast
banker thought that the strangers were disbanded Fenian.,
who had male their way from Kerry to this far north.
Mr. O'Donnell expressed his regret at the detention the
two men had undergone, and courteously returned them
their money and securities, which, after so stern on
experience, they are not likely to deposit with the ener-
getic but too suspicious Belfast banker who had had them
summarily arrested.—Nortkera Whig.
A MAN KILLED BY A FALL OF EARTH IN A
WELL.—An accident of a very distressing nature occurred
on the premises of Mr. Marsh, Fieldgate, on Thursday
last, resulting in the death of Laurence Morley, aged 39,
• sinker, in the employ of Mr. Hughes. The deceased's
employers had been engaged to make some alterations in
an old well, some Lfyards deep, at the back of Mr.
Marsh's house, and the deceased had just gone down to
put in a new kerb at the bottom of the brick lining of the
well, when the old kerb, which had become dec..yed, gave
way, causing all the brickwork, which rested upon it, to
sink down, and upwards of one-half of it to fall piecemeal
upon hint A large quantity of soil from the sides of the
well also fell in. Owing to the sandy nature of the soil,
the work had to be carried on with great caution, and,
although the utmost diligence was used, it was 9 o'clock
on Saturday night before the body was brought to the
surface.— *Weer/mouton Chronicle.
SHOCKING DEATH OF A PLATELAYER.--OR Sun-

severed at hie aucles, his body out in two, and his face
sadly mangled.

tures have been delivered before the classes of a recog-
nised school of medicine. The lady aspirants for the
license must, therefore, abandon their notions, or pass
through the course of dissections, in company with
students of the other sex—a thing a lady could not be
expect'd to do. The regulation is, in fact, expressly de-
signed to exclude females.—Metheal Press and Circular,
