YENIANIsIII AT CARLISLE.—Having failed at
Chester, the Feniana (or some hoaxer in their name, have
turned their eyes upon the stock of arms in Carlisle
Castle. The following letter wee on Tuesday taken to the
authorities by ~eorgc Partinson, joiner, Bridge-street,
Caldewgate. who mid he received it from a boy, who told
him be found it on the West Walls when coming from
school Carlisle. Feb. 10, 1867,—Dear James,--
Hoping all you jolly fellows are quite well, and that
you may get all Ireland before next year. We made a
try at Chester, but could not get it. We are going
to make a try at Carlisle ksome] night when they are
not thinking about it. Their are a great many arms,
and we will rush in and get them at the castle. I have
meat this letter by J. Kirk. He is going to Ireland to-
day. I am. yours truly, Stephen O'Connor. To James
Kerry." We need scarcely say that the thing is a joke,
and only a poor one. We do not know whether the same
plan is intended to be carried out by the Feniana at Car
lisle as was attempted at Cheater, but it is no secret that
within the Last few days a very remarkable and perplexing
discovery has been made at the City Waterworks, which
has resulted in the suspension of sonic of the workmen,
and by which the efficiency of some of the works has been
intentionally impaired by the most remarkable means. and
the supply of water to the town considerably curtailed.—
. Owaseerfarett Panful.
