IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Friday Morning.
Now that the leaders in the Fenian conspiracy
have been committed the public attention is directed
to the approaching trial before the judges. All the
arrangements for holding the special commission
have been completed, and the sheriffs have issued
the summonses for the attendance of the grand
and petty juries on Monday, the 27th inst. All the
prisoners, Stephens included, will be indicted under
the Treason Felony Act, the effect of which will be
that, in case of conviction, there will be no capital
punishment, the extreme penalty being penal servi-
tude for life.

It is believed that the Cork prisoners charged
with Fenianisru will not be transferred for trial to
Dublin, but will be arraigned and tried in that city.
Some light (says the Irish Times) appears to have
been thrown upon the firing upon the two detec-

tives matter. We understand that informations
have been sworn by three respectable persons who
live near the spot where the transaction occurred,
to the effect that they heard the shots fired, and
saw the persons whom they believed to have cona-
mitted the deed, running down Crane-lane. The
persons who made the information, it is stated, have
no connection with the police or any department of
the Government.

Two men, named Ward and Cleary, were prose-
cuted at Castlebar on Wednesday for complicity in
the Fenian conspiracy. The principal evidence
against them was that of Prendergast, an approver,
who was formerly in the militia. He swore to having
been sworn in and drilled by the prisoners. The
magistrates decided on postponing the case and
communicating with the authorities at the Castle as
to the course they ought to pursue.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess

seat, Long Melford, the inhabitants conferred with
his lordship as to giving their royal highnesses a
proper reception, and committees were formed,

done to carry out what is determined upon as per-
fectly possible. Already three large and imposing
triumphal arches, between the railway station and
the hall, have been erected, and are being decorated.
Balconies are being erected along the line of route,
and it is expected that every available spot will be
taken up, as, from the contiguity of Sudbury, vast
crowds are almost certain to congregate.
According to present arrangements, it is under-
stood that his royal highness will arrive from

hill and Melford Branch Of the Great Eastern Rail-
way, a new line, the station of which is not yet
completed, but a portion at least is to be finished by
Tuesday. There the Salisbury Rifle Corps will be
marshalled to recieve their royal higanesses, and
along the route to the hall, a distance of nearly two
miles, the Long Melford Cavalry, under the com-
mand of Major Barnardiston, will form the guard
of honour.
