IRELAND.

-~

DUBLIN, Saturday Evening.
The active measures taken by the Government
against the Dublin " Head-centre" .of Fenianism
have met with the decided approval of the Irish
public. There was abundant opportunity to-day,
indeed, to test the feeling of the inhabitants of the
metropolis on the subject, and on all hands the ad-
mirably quiet and effective manner in which the
arrangements were carried out is the subject of
favourable remark. The belief is general that the
Government have been for some time in possession
of important information, and that the step now
taken can be fully justified. Whilst I write arrests
continue to be made of persons supposed to be in
league with the Fenian Brotherhood, and among
them are several Irishmen who have lately returned
from America. The police arrested at Rathmines,
a suburb of Dublin, one of these returned Celts,
who was found possessed of a particular description
of uniform, and a box of documents which are sup-
posed to throw light upon the plans of the rebel-
lious organization. The editor of the Irish People,
a Dr. O'Leary, was also taken up to-day ; but it
will be better to give a history of proceedings which
are so remarkable in a regular chronological order.
The meeting of magistrates in Cork onThursday,
presided over by Lord Fermoy, seems to have de-
termined the Government to put into instant execu-
tion the measures upon which they had determined.
One hundred and fifty magistrates attended, and
such information was produced, and depositions
read, as showed unmistakably that an organisation
of some sort existed, extending its ramifications
through the neighbouring counties of Waterford
and Wexford. Mr. Hawkes stated that, per-
zort4/13r7 1.3 liaci Tar 'itrpraionstion of. the Fenian
organisation, and he did not think that any danger
would arise from it. He remembered a time when
8,000 Whiteboys were dispersed at Carrigaminy by
30 yeomen after a single shot. Mr. Perrier, Lota,
thought that prompt measures were necessary, and
complained that the police in his district were neither
sufficiently numerous nor sufficiently active. Mr. J.
E. Barrett, Carriganass, gave important information
respecting the movements of the society in his dis-
trict, Bantry, and read depositions showing that
drilling and military evolutions were practised there
at night. One:of these depositions was made a short
time since by Captain White, who stated that as
he was riding along the road to his residence two
men suddenly sprang out from the ditch and caught
his horse by the bridle. One of them asked him
was he a " Fenian man ;" the other bid him give the
c.pass-word." He was taken quite by surprise, and
he said he knew no " pass-word." On his making
this reply one of the men struck at him, but he
pressed his horse forward and rode past them, knock-
ing the fellow down. The second deposition read
disclosed a still more serious outrage. It appeared
that some time since a party of men surrounded the
house of Mr. Lawe, residing in the neighbourhood
of Bantry, and burst in the front door. Three men
having their faces blackened entered the house, and
demanded that whatever fire-arms it contained
should be given to them. Over twenty stood around
the door outside. In the face of such a display of
force the inmates of the house were afraid to refuse
the demand, and two pistols and a musket were
given up to the intruders, who then quietly left the
place. Several magistrates reported midnight as-
semblies and drillings of men in their districts, and,
after a brief discussion, Lord Bandon moved that a
memorial be forwarded to the Government, praying
that an additional police and military force be sta-
tioned in the county. The motion was passed
unanimously, and the memorial was prepared. It
was believed the measure proposed would -be suffi-
cient to preserve public order. Lord Shannon was
then moved to the second chair, and a vote of
thanks was passed to Lord Fermoy, after which
the meeting separated.

Yesterday investigations were held before the
magistrates of Wexford, Lord Carew in the chair,
and also before the magistrates of Waterford, which
left no doubt that the conspiracy is extensive in
both counties. Whether these occurrences, or in-
formation of the local doings of the Fenians, influ-
enced the Executive, is unknown, but the Privy
Council met yesterday afternoon, and sat until a
late hour, when orders were issued for the seizure of
the Irish People, and the arrest of its principal
employe's. The police performed this duty about
ten o'clock at night, under the immediate superin-
tendence of the chief commissioner, the inspector-
generalbeing also on the alert, and

his office in the Castle until one o'clock in the
morning, by which time the presses, type, " copy,"
correspondence, and books of the Irish People had
been conveyed by the police to their head office in
the Lower Castle yard. When the police forced an
entrance into the People office they found not a
single person in the house, but there were arrested
behind in a lane-way, endeavouring to effect their
escape, the manager and some ten other persons
employed on the paper. These persons having been
taken into custody, and transferred to the Chancery-
lane and College-green stations, the
police pro-
ceeded to remove the plant and everything con-
nected with the publication of the paper. The
charge against the prisoners, as set forth in the
warrants under which they have been arrested, is as
follows :--" That they unlawfully and treasonably
did conspire and combine with divers other evil-

disposed persons belonging to a secret society called
the Fenian Brotherhood, having for their objects
the levy of war in Ireland against the Queen, and
separating it from the United Kingdom."
The person who seemed to have the chief manage-

ment of the Irish People is Mr. Jeremiah O'Donovan
(Rossa), and he was arrested with the others whilst
endeavouring to make his escape. This individual
is already pretty well known in connection with the
proceedings under the Treason Felony Act. At the
spring assizes of 1859 he was arraigned in the county
of Cork for being a member of the celebrated
" Phoenix conspiracy," but his trial was not pro-
ceeded with, Mr. Whiteside, the then Attorney-
General, declining to select a jury from the panel
returned by the sheriff. An application to admit
him to bail was subsequently unsuccessfully made
to the Court of Queen's Bench. He was again put
upon his trial at the summer assizes ; but a change
of Government having occurred, the Attorney-
General, Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, entered upon office
with a disposition for clemency, and accordingly
Mr. O'Donovan was allowed to submit to the in-
dictment preferred against him on condition, of en-
tering into his own recognisances to come up for
judgment when called upon. To this moment no
call has been made upon him in respect of the
former charge.
During the night a variety of other arrests were
made, among them Mr. George Hopper, of Dame-
street, who had an alleged connection with the Irish
People.

The seized copy of the paper is brimful of the sort
of seditious matter to which it has commonly been
devoted. They.tspeak of " freeing Ireland by force,"
and attack the Roman Catholic ecclesiastics with
great vehemence. The correspondence is the strik-
ing feature of the journal. It extends over nearly
three pages, and is so pungently written that it is
impossible to class it with ordinary newspaper letters
sent to an editor by voluntary correspondents. The
communications contain such phraseology as this—
" Liberty the Irish will have," and " When they
seek it, it will be in a different place than the Par-
liament of their oppressors," and " they will use
different and more forcible arguments." One cor-
respondent is advised to put " more spirited words"
to an air which he has described as " first-rate for
marching." The mingled moderation, and at the,
same time suggestiveness, of the phraseology em-
ployed by the writers of the People are, in fact,
taken by many to be one strong proof that a con-
spiracy is on foot. Every returned Irish-American
is said to have made the office of the People his head
quarters. Large sums of money have been brought
over, it is believed, by these returned Irish, and
American bills have been cashed by the banks to
large amounts for those persons within the last few
days. It is certain that, if the progress of the plot
had not been arrested at this stage, far greater dif-
ficulty would be experienced with it even a single
month hence.
To-day, when the prisoners were brought through
the streets in the police van, they were feebly
cheered by a crowd of the very lowest orders. The
streets, though a little excitement existed,were quiet
except in the immediate neighbourhood of the police
court. The peace was kept as usual by mounted
policeman, who had considerable difficulty in keep-
ing the approaches to the court open.
At 25 minutes past three o'clock 21
.of the priso-
ners were brought up in custody before Messrs.
Stronge and M'Dermott, charged upon the informa-
tion given by the police. Their names are—Thos.

Jeremiah O'Farrell, Joseph Haltigand, and J. Rynn.
The prisoners having answered to their names,
Mr. Barry, Q.C., who was instructed by Mr. An-
derson, Crown Solicitor, applied for a remand, on
the ground that it was expected that further infor-
mation would be obtained and more arrests made.
No objection having been made, the application
was granted, and the prisoners were remanded until
this day week.
The prisoners were removed in custody, and placed
in the prison van, a guard of mounted police accom-
panying the vehicle to the prison.
A telegram from Cork states that the most in-
tense excitement was caused there this morning by
the arrest of a large number of persons, charged
with belonging to the Fenian Brotherhood. Be-
tween 3 and 4 a.m. a body of police, numbering
aboit 100, divided themselves into small parties,
and proceeded to make arrests in different parts of
the town. A sword, pistols, and military uniform
were found at the house of one of the parties
arrested. The prisoners include several shopmcn

an attorney's clerk, an artisan, &c. They have been
arrested, it is said, on the intelligence given
by an informer. A secret inquiry was held,#when
the prisoners were all either committed for trial or
for examination. A battery of artillery has arrived
from Ballincolig. One hundred copies of the Irish
People were seized by the police. This telegram ex-

- .
plains the object which the police had in stopping
the despatch of telegrams to the provinces last

night. An evening paper says :—" hrroneoui re

ports being in circulation, we may state that the
telegraph companies were merely requested by the
Government to withhold telegrams respecting the
Fenian arrests from the Irish provinces during the
night, and that the communication with London
and English stations was carried on freely, and the
important news telegraphed by the Irish agents of
the London journals in due course. To-day the tele-
grams are passing to and from the Irish provinces
without any hinderance."

The Daily Express contains a letter from Waterford de_
scribing the strong tendency towards Fenianism which the
people of that town exhibit. The conspiracy, it alleges, is
growing every day there ; its aims and progress, too, are
almost the only topic of conversation. In the hotels are
to be met well-dressed Yankees, who appear to have un-
limited means, and who speak of the invasion of Ireland by
a Fenian fleet as a certainty within the next five months ;
while in the public-houses the Fenians discuss their plans
and ideas with as much freedom as if they were seated at
the other side of the Atlantic. The immunity which has
up to the present attended their illegal practices appears to
have immeasurably increased their daring. They are well
known to be engaged drilling at Rilbarry bog night after
night, and yet no arrest has been made. The place where
they practice their drill is now as bare and hard for an
acre round as the highway. The writer himself saw men

drilling in the heart of the town. A medical gentleman
told him he was aware of the drill going on two mornings
every week, and that he would give him an opportunity of
judging for himself. Accordingly, they started for an unoc-
cupied house, saw two squads of ten men each being
drilled. The idea of 20 men drilling in the midst of the
city, within 170 yards of a police-barrack, at 5 45 in, the
morning, was so novel, so unexpected, that it took some
minutes to convince him of its reality. " I recognised,',
he says, " through the slit of the windows three of the
faces, and then the solution was simple. They were young
shopmen, who, I presume, could not be allowed out after
ten o'clock at night by their employers, and who, conse-
quently, got up at four o'clock in the morning on the pre-
tence of bathing, or some other pretext, to take their les-
sons in drilling." Another means of propagating their
ideas and making converts has been resorted to by the
Fenians. All the regular ballad singers of the city have been
subsidised by them. These commence operations every
evening with nightfall, and, surrounded by large crowds,
sometimes as many as 200 persons in one, continue to sing
seditious songs until past 11 o'clock. To such as choose
they give copies of the ballad; requiring no payment.
These productions are of the most treasonable and seditious
character. At petty sessions yesterday (before the mayor,
Captain Newport, D.L.; Napoleon Bonaparte Wyse, D.L.;
Captain Johnson, Alderman Denny, and Dr. John Mackesy),
a well-dressed man, who gave his name as Martin Power,
was brought up in custody, charged with singing and giving
to others two seditious ballads, called respectively " The
Fenian Men," and ."
The Stars and Stripes." Mr. Edward
Elliott, solicitor, prosecuted, in the absence of Mr. Kelly,
sessional Crown prosecutor; and Mr., T. F. Strange,
solicitor, whose name is well remembered in connection
with the '4B movement, defended the prisoner. Two con-
stables proved the singing and selling. Mr. Strange con-
tended that there was nothing seditious in the ballads. The
mayor delivered the judgment of the court, which was that
the prisoner should find solvent bail that he offend no

more, or go to gaol for six months. The prisoner at once
accepted the latter alternative, muttering that he would
"be out before that time." The case excited much interest,

and the body of the court was crowded by a great body of
young men, who did not conceal their sympathy with the
prisoner. They left the court in compact military order,
and one of them loudly declared that the magistrates, in-
stead of the prisoner, would bo in gaol before the expira-
tion of tho six months.

The case that came before Lord Carew at Wexford was
one of illegal drilling. The accused were two cotmen,
named Roche and Teulon, " fine, able young men." The
first witness called was Mr. Loftus Carey, who deposed
that ho was returning from Enniscorthy between 12 and
one o'clock on the night of the 6th, in company with Mr.
Charles Lett, from the agricultural dinner ; on going down
the quay, and when near the Quaker's meeting-house, ho
heard drilling on the Wexford-road ; went down and found
about 20 men drilling; he spoke to the man who was dril-
ling them, and who appeared to have command, and asked
him what he was doing ; he said drilling, and asked him to
drill them, which he did, and then proposed that some drink
should be got. They tried two houses, but got no drink.
On marching down from the Shannon he caught the man
that was drilling, and said he arrested him in the Queen's
name, when he was knocked down. Mr. Carey, in reply to
Lord Carew, added that he drilled the men for half an
hour; he told the drill-master that he knew his drill very
well, when that individual replied that he did, for he be-
longed to the " 99th ;" in answer to his remark that they
were drilling in an exposed position, the drill-sergeant re-
sponded that he had taken every precaution. The witness
was subjected to a severe cross-examination. He heard the
words, "To the right face," "left face," and "quick
march ;"was within 200 yards of them then, and the words
were given in a loud voice. Teulon was not with the men
he spoke to, but joined them afterwards. Teulon was asked
why he left the ranks, and was told never to do so again.
Had no notion of arresting the man until the very moment
he did so ; he was sorry to see the men make such fools of
themselves. The men were not allowed to speak whilst
in the ranks. Ha did not see Roche until he knocked
him down. Felt rather surprised that they let him drill
them. Did not tell them he was an officer, but he told
them that Mr. Lett was a lieutenant in the parent
society. That was not true, though he had already
sworn he had told no lies that night. " (Cheers.)
This demonstration was quickly suppressed, and Lord
Carew said, if repeated, the court should be cleared. Mr.
Charles Lett gave .substantially the same evidence, and
identified Teulon. For the defence Mr. Boland was exa-
mined, and swore that when Mr. Carey left the agricultural
dinner he was not sober. The magistrates, after some
consideration, resolved to send the accused for trial.
