The Fenian Movement.

The Freeman's Journal of yesterday says :—" From
the subjoined extracts from the columns of some of
our southern contemporaries, it will be seen that the
' raid' among the Fenians has not terminated, nor
has the vigilance of the government nor the activity
of its officials abated. Cork still continues to occupy
an undesirable pre-eminence in the affair—a fact
which is, of course, to be attributed to the circum-
stance of a number of the homeward American mails
calling at Queenstown, and in the majority of those
arrivals arrests have taken place. The City of
Manchester arrived in the harbour about one o'clock
on Tuesday morning, and the passengers landed
were, as has been the case for the last week or two,
closely searched by a large force of police. A num-
ber of revolvers, &c., were seized, and one of the
passengers, Chas. H. O'Riordan, was arrested, the
police having found on his person documents which
they consider to be of a treasonable nature. He
states that he had served as a captain in the Federal
army, and had, before the breaking out of the Ame-
rican war, been an officer in her Majesty's 10th
Hussars. He was lodged in the Queenstown Bride-
well until the authorities in Dublin shall be com-
municated with. The captures among the military
down south also continue. The Examiner of Wed-
nesday evening tells us' that on Monday a sergeant
of the 2d Queen's was arrested at Cork barracks,
and two non-commissioned officers of the 99th, sta-
tioned at Buttevant, were likewise placed in custody,
all on the charge of being connected in some manner
with the Fenian movement. Other arrests have taken
place in different parts of the county Cork, the parti-
culars of which we give below. We may here state, in
reference to a paragraph which we transferred to our
columns the other day from those of a Cork paper,
that we understand there is no .foundation for the
rumour that the Government have resolved on
holding a special commission at Cork for the trial
of the prisoners. Yesterday passed over without
any addition having been made to the number of the
Dublin prisoners, and indeed it would seem that
the attention of the authorities was now centred on
Cork. The Herald of that city informs us that
several members of the police force, disguised by
wearing civilians' clothes, have arrived from Dublin.
They bring with them, it is said, documents which
will lead to further arrests in Cork. In the lodging
houses where they remain, observes our informant,
during their stay, it is remarked that they are
strangely silent, and exhibit the strongest dislike to
entering into conversation relative to the all-en-
grossing topic of the day."

The election of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year
took place to-day in the Guildhall, when Alderman Phillips
was selected for the office.

CRUIKSHA~g, Political
caricature, indeed, George Cruikshank practised
but a few years; perhaps he had hardly gall enough in his
nature to relish even the harmless personalities of such an
art; though the changes and extravagances, or, as he
named them, the " monstrosities " of fashion supplied him
with subjects for some time longer. It is impossible to
have been happier than he was in his portrayal of the
rapid and fantastic alterations of dress that milliners and
tailors devised for the perplexity of their customers in his
early manhood ; from long waists to short waists, from tight
sleeves to gigots, which might well have held a leg of
mutton, or bishop sleeves, which by themselves might have
furnished materials for a chapter; from Oldenburg bonnets,
like a kitchen coal-scuttle, to flat-brimmed hats, which
looked as if their model had been formed in the frying-pan.
It must be added that, as wo may judge from other pro-
ducts of his pencil, if the male sex are, as they are wont to
boast, less whimsical in their changes of attire, it is since
Cruikshank's day that they have learnt that wisdom. Cer-
tainly, unless the artist allowed himself an unusual license
of exaggeration, man; with his head firmly held in its posi-
tion by his buckram cravat six inches high, cut almost in
two at the waist by stays, with padded hips, and padded
shoulders, tightly laced up, tightly strapped down, had
but litt!ft cause to laush at his fair sister,—Once a week.
