THE FENIAN MOVEMENT IN IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY Sim.

The special correspondent of 'Saunders' Nevs-
Letter at Killarney supplies the following par-
ticulars of the Fenian disturbance in Kerry :
On Tuesday evening a rumour arrived at Killarney that
the coast-guard station of Kell had been attacked and rifled
of anus. The same night a meeting of the magistrates
took place here. A mounted policeman was sent with
despatches to Cahirciveen, to call in remote con-
stabulary stations. He reached Killorglin at 2
a.m., on Wednesday morning, and handed over
his despatches to another mounted policeman. The
second messenger, while on his way to Cahireiveen,
was .sailed and fired at, and wounded in the hip. The
despatches were taken from him, and he was found lying
on the road and brought alive to a place of safety, where
be is ander treatment. His horse was found i• the Gap of
Dente., about 3 o'clock that morning. It is believed that
a bodyof raiders passed through the Gap. Troops Were tele-
graphed for, and on Thursday morning about three of the
first detachment of military, consisting of a portion of
the 60th Rifles, arrived in Killarney. Fifty remained in
the hotel, while 100 went in search of the insurgents.
They returnedin the eveningwithout having come up with
them. Telegraph wires were cut between this and Head.
fort. and twice between this and Tralee. Stones were also
laid across the line to Tralee before the mail train which
left Killarneyat 20 minutes to 5 o'clock on Thuradaymorn-
ing. The train was stopped and delayed about an hour,
while stones were being got away by the railway officials
and the police. Rumour is that two hundred men
were seen near Glencar. All accounts represent
them au only partially armed. At present • company
of the 2nd Battalion of the 60th Rifles, two companies of
the 14th, and one of the 48th Regiment. are out scouring
the country. Another coastguard station, that of Ilellins-
killig, was ransacked, and anus taken from it, an Wednes-
day night. The house of • man was visited by a party of
thirty or forty men in search of arms and ammunition,
which they demanded ; but it is not stated that they
did anything further, beyond frightening the inmates.
It is not the fact that the gentry ►nd their
families have all left their homes. Three persons have
been arrested in Killarney. One, a person named Moriarty,
who arrived from America; a carpenter, and a clerk
named Shehan. Moriarty le styled " captain," and mine
documents were found in his possession mid to be orders
from Stephens. He was arrested in consequence of au
anonymous letter.

The following is the latest intelligence :
KILLARNEY, FRIDAY, 12 o'CLocE.

All quiet here. Eight hundred and fifty men of the
48th, 14th, and Gth Regiments have arrived, under the
command of Brigadier General Sir A. Hartford, K.C.B.
A company of 50 of the 60th Rifles, under Captain Bowles,
immediately on arrival, about 3 a.m. on Thursday,
went to • place called Beaufort, within seven miles
of Killarney. At the house of Mr. Day, near Beau-
fort, they were told that about seven o'clock on the pre-
vious evening a party of Fenian pealed by. The nuinher
was variously estimated from 30 to several hundreds,
and they were said to be dreamed in green or grey uni-
form. Captain Bowks's party were unable to come up with
them. On his return Colonel Palmer went with 100 men of
the Rides to within thirteen miles of Kenmore, but met
no Fenian, and returned late last night. The insurgents
were said to be commended by a person named O'Connor,
who rode the horse of the policeman who was shot yester-
day. Another party of soldiers went to the Gap of Dunk.,
to arrest the Fenian' believed to be in Tuonty s.wood, on
the mountain side of the Lake. lio insurgents have been
seen by the military.

A telegram in Freeman's Journal says that all danger is
over; that the insurgents were never 100 strong, and that
the people refused to join them.
Every other part of Ireland is perfectly quiet.

A few arrests were made in Dublin this morning. The
prosecutions for tiessun-felony are proceeding at Green-
street.

Our Liverpool correspondent writes :—" The
positive statements made public as to the number of
Fenian, in Liverpool have created much uneasiness in that
town, and on Thursday a general suspicion got sbro-d
that a disturbance would take place that night, the pre-
valent idea being that an attack would be made on the
volunteer storehouses. The police, volunteer ofscers, and
reporters were consequently on the qui vire; but fortu-
nately nothing occurred to occasion any disquiet. It is,
however, considered highly injudicious on the part of the
authorities to leave the town completely unprotected, more
especially as doubts have been expressed in parliament as
to the position and powers of the volunteers in cases of
local disturbance."

The Lord Clyde, iron screw frigate, Captain
R. Dew, C.B. is ordered to hold herself in readiness to
proceed to Ireland with a detachment of the Portsmouth
division of Royal Marines, about 400 strong, when re-
quired. Four gunboats belonging to the first division of
the steam reserve are also ordered to hold themselves in
readiness for sea, and officers and seamen have been
drafted to them from the gunnery ship Excellent.

A telegram from Plymouth says :—" Great
activity prevails here in despatching forces to Ireland.
The gunboat Redwing and screw tender Pigeon left this
afternoon. The Racoon and the Charybdis were removed
from Barnette into the Sound. A strong wind from the
southward retards their departure. Theyare bound to Ken-
mare River. The Vestal and the Rind have their steam up.
The Rainbow is to be got ready fur the same duty. The
Caledonia is getting ready for sea. The number of Royal
Marines to embark here is the same as at Portsmouth
—398. They consist of four captains, eight sub-
alterns, 16 sergeants, 16 corporal, four drummers,
and 290 privates. Of these Captain Bennett and Lieu-
tenants Kensman and Byrch and 79 rank and file em-
barked on board the Racoon; and Captain Cobb. Lieutenant
Blacksland, and 50 rank and file on board the Vestal.
Lieutenant Alston and 40 rank and file embark to-morrow
on board the Charybdis. The remaining 153 await orders.
Some will embark in the Fox to-morrow. It is reported
that detachments from the Line will also be scat from this

THE CAMBRIDGE U lON.—At a business meeting
of the society held on Monday evening last, a proposal was
made to exclude Mr. tiwinburna's poems from the list of
books recommended for purchase by the library com-
mittee. After some discussion, it was corned by a large
majority that the book should remain on the list. A mo-
tion was also wade to open the society's premises on Saw
day at 12.30 p.m., instead of 3 p.m., as at present, the
rooms to be closed between 3 and 4, the time of
the university sermon. This met with a determined
opposition. A Roll having been asked for and panted,
took place on 'humility, when there appeared—For the
motion, 242; against 211. As a motion to alter one of
the society's laws requires a majority of threwfuurths, the
motion is lint. The Beekire and the Merck &rine have
been just added to the list of newsjapers token in by the
society. The subject for debate next Tuesday is :—" That
in the opinion of this house her Mojesty s government
have exhibited a patriotic sense of duty, and a sincere
desire to settle the reform question, in the scheme they
have laid before parliament on the subject." Proposed by
Kr. W. A. Lindsay, of Trinity.—easitiridge Independent.
