PROTESTS 4OAINST FENIANISM.

The Irishmen of Dowlais have taken an early
opportunity of expressing their disapproval of the out-
rageoue conduct of their eountorrmen connected with the
Fenian Brotherhood. On Sunday last they held a public
meeting at the catholic church at Doyle* whkli wee
crowded, there being from GOO to 800 present, the balk of
whom were Irish workmen. Father Millen presided, and
in a practical speech denounced Fenlaniim sad it' objects,
and implored the Irish people of Dowlala not to he led
away by persons who, under the mask of patriotism, were
doing Ireland and the Irish all the injury they could. The
following resolutions were adopted with unanimity,—
" That we, being Boman catholios and Irishmen, residing
at Dowlais, are deeply grieved and affected at the sudden
and unexpected manifestation of Fenianiam in this town,
which we considered to have been free from
such caganisatica." " That we hereby record
our abhorrence of those outrageous and diabolical acts
at Clerkenwell and. elsewhere, by which life
prli
and property have been destroyed, and the'peem and wel-
fare of society very much disturbed throughout the
country " That whilst we sympathise with the cause of
Ireland, and earnestly wish to see the evils that afflict her
and her people removed or redressed by constitutional
means, we hereby record our loyal attachment to the
person of her Majesty the Queen and her throne, sad ex-
press our abhorrence of armed violence in resisting the
civil power." " That as members of the catholic church
we feel bound to obey her teaching and authority, and
therefore we cannot but disapprove of all secret societies
(including that now called the Fenian Brotherhood), and
cannot be members of any emaciation interdicted by the
church and condemned by our prelates."

A similar meeting was held in Bolton on Sunday
night, the Rev. Canon CAPTIII *ding. About 1,000 per-
sons assembled in St. Peter St. Paul's Schools in that
town, most of them Irishmen. The following re-
solutions, among others, were passed : " That as oat olio
and Irishmen we condemn in the strongest manner the out-
rages which have bean oommitted in London and elsewhere,
by whomsoever and for whatsoever purpose perpetrated."
That, as obedient sons of the catholic church, which
consistently denounces all secret societies bound by oath,
we repudiate all connection with secret oath-bound
societies in general, and the Fenian Brotherhood in parti-
cular." " That we strongly deprecate the attitude
assumed towards their Irish employ la by the =eaters in
this neighbourhood, and beg respectfully to point out to
them that the discharge of the bids in their employ would
be a suicidal sot on their part, since it would throw the
discharged men into the Fenian ranks, to obtain revenge
for their wrongful dismission, or oast them and their fami-
lies upon their parishes for a support towards which all
the inhabitants would be forced to contribute."

THE ARREST ON Boasts THZ O•Le./Ca. —The
consul Lionel Granville, who was arrested on
board the Orion. on Monday, upon the supposition that
he was Captain Deasy, or, at any rate, that be was
implicated in the Manchester outrage in September last,
has now been released from custody. Granville went on
board the Orion. as a °pallid passenger at the Italian port
of Leghorn, and during the passage thence his conduct and
conversation gave use to the supposition that he was a
prominent member of the Fenian Brotherhood. Intelligence
to that effect had been communicated to the police, sad
on the Oriana's arrival at London-bridge • body
of the Thames-police in two boats, followed the ship ut
the river, and several detectives at the same time boarded
the vessel from the shore side. Granville was taken into
custody, and privately
,conveyed to the Leman-street
police-station, Goodman ofields, Whitechapel. Commu-
nications were at once made by telegram to Marekester,
and detectives from thence were quickly on the spot; but
they failed to recognise him either as Captain Duey or
Kelly; and after a private examination Granville was
discharml from custody, no evidence being forthcoming
to Implicate him with any of the Fenian outrages. He is
entirely indebted to his own oondnot and statements for
his arrest and the implications connected therewith.
