THE FENIAN INSURRECTION.

(rams OUR OWN coaassrosrmirr.)
CORK, TIMMY.
An important piece of intelligence has been re-
ceived here to-day from the Limerick Junction.
It is reported that on Saturday morning the Fe-
Mans in the Galtees held a general council to decide
how they should act. This information comesfrom
one of the men present, and who has since returned
to his home. The leaders and men are said to be
divided in opinion, the former wishing to continue
the movement, and the bulk of the latter being
doubtful of their ultimate success, and propose to
give up the business. At the meeting there was,
as might be expected, much angry recrimination.
The men charged their leaders with having deceived
them, and the leaders endeavoured to show that
their plans had been unexpectedly frustrated. The
meeting came to an end without any decision having
been arrived at, but it is believed that the
result of the council has been that many
of the Fenian have seceded from the main body of
the insurgents. This statement would account for
the sudden disappearance of the Fenians from the
front of the mountains. Intelligence received from
various quarters confirms the impression that large
numbers of men have abandoned the movement in
consequence of the inability of the leaders to sup-
ply them with arms. These men, who could coolly
calculate their chances of success, would have been
the most formidable element in the insurrection,
and their defection has deprived the movement of
much of its danger.
The insurgents in the mountains are said to re-
ceive supple. at night from the farmers in the
neighbourhood. The other night a party of
Fenian' descended on Stream Hill, near Doneraile,
and carried off two cows, which they killed, and
took off the flesh, leaving the skins to the owner.

DEPUTATION To LORD Naaa.—At a meeting of
magistrates of the county of Kildare, held on Tuesday at
Naas, to deliberate on the state of the country, and to
take measures to repress the present insurrectionary
movement, it was determined to appoint a deputation to
wait upon Lord Naas immediately. Accordingly the
magistrates selected viz., Lord Otho Fitzgerald, Mr.
Moore, and Mr. Mansergh—waited in the evening on
Lord Naas, at the Chief Secretary's office in the Castle,
and bad an interview with bim. The proceedings were
private ; but we understand that amongst the requests
made was that the garrison of Naas should be strengthened.
Lord Naas assured the deputation that every precaution
would be taken to preserve the peace ; and after •
lengthened interview the deputation withdrew.—Frte-

LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—A sad scene was wit-
nessed yesterday morning about 12 o'clock, opposite Lind-
sey Wharf Davis-place, Waterside, Chelsea. A barge
was proceeding from London, light, having two persons
on board. It has been ascertained that they were bro.
then, the elder of the two the owner of the barge.
While the younger one was adjusting a sail he fell over-
board, and instantly the elder ono jumped in after him to
save him, but the current was so strong and the wind so
high that he soon disappeared. The poor lad was, after a
quarter of an hour or so, picked up by Mr. Charles's ice-
men, who happened, fortunately, to be unloading block ice
at the time, and taken ashore to Mr. Everett's, the Queen's
Arms, directly opposite the scene of the accident. Every
attention was there paid him both by Mr. Everett and his
wife, who procured medical aid as well, and after six
hours he was removed to his home by his father, Mr. W.
Emmerson, at Isleworth, who had been sent for, and who,
on arriving, expressed his gratitude to Mr. and Mn.
Everett and all concerned.
