The Alleged Breach of the Foreign Enlist-
ment Act.

LIVERPOOL, Saturday Night.
It is difficult at present to arrive ai; any positive informaio
tion as to the intentions of tho Government with regard to
the case of the Great Western. The only indisputable fact
is that the Home Secretary has confirmed the action of rho
Customs' authorities in Liverpool in stopping the vessel,
and that all tho evidcnca has been forwarded, by order, to
the Horne Office. On Friday night Mr hull, having ter-
minated his inquiry, and forwarded the affidavits, intimated
to the collector of customs that he should consider the affair
out of his hands. The continued detention of the Great
Western sufficiently establishes the determination of the
Home Secretary to adopt severe measures, so far as the law
may have been actually infringed ; but no communication.
as to the steps which will be taken has yet been received
here. Persons continue to arrive hero and to apply to the
police, in great anxiety about their relatives who are on
board the ship.

That a considerable number of men are willing and even
anxious to go out to America, and brave the risk of being
sent into the field, was singularly illustrated on Friday. A
steamer having been brought to the lending-stage to enable
Mr Tracey, of Messrs. Baldwin and Tracey, the passenger
agents for the Great Western, to go on board the ship.
no less than 50 men, all labourers, get on board with the
intention of going to the Great Western and joining the
motley collection already there. They were with difficulty
made to return to the landing stage. The men on board,
however, or at least a good meny of them, are becoming
almost as anxious to get back to their homes. On this
morning, about ten o'clock, about 25 women and several
old men arrived at the detective police-station, stating that
they had come in search of their relatives, who were amongst
the supposed recruits on board the alum, ay.efeen, These
people were from Stalybridge,Ashton-under-Lyne, Dublin,
Drogheda, and other places. Detective Inspector Carlisle
applied to Messrs Baldwin and Tracey to enable the appli-
cants to see their relatives. Ho was referred by the agents
to the captain and the owners, and applied to the latter,
Messrs. Baring Brothers. The owners declined to do any-
thing in the matter, and referred the officers again to the
agents, Captain Cunningham, however, directed tho agents
to place a steam tug at the disposal of the poor people, and
at three o'clock they all went on board, accompanied by In-
spector Carlisle and detective Jones. In every instance the
men were persuaded to return with their relatives, and
about 48 or fifty other men jumped on board the tug in the
greatest excitement and anxiety to get away. These ie-
eluded men belonging to Stalybridge, London, Ashton,
Macclesfield, Congleton, Bolton, and several towns in Ire-
land. About 60 in all came away. They complain that
they have had nothing to eat but salt junk, and that their
only beds have been straw mattresses, with one blanket to
each. The two Shaws are still on board. The police in-
vestigated the case of the man alleged to have been knocked
into the hold. His name is James Fawcett, and his address
10, Baker's-row, Clerkenwell, London. He is by trade an
hotel porter. He was not knocked or pushed, but fell into
the hold, in consequence of having stepped on a slight plank
on Thursday. He is severely hut not dangerously hurt.
