MORE ARRESTS.

The following curious statement appears in the Cork
Reporter of yesterday:—
" On the 7th of this month a man named James Red-
mond, who had taken up the sum of 40/. 13s. 6d., from
,Nlr. Dargan's office, in the name of Mr. H. Fitzmaurice,
absconded, and that gentleman having some suspicion
that he was proceeding to America in one of the vessels
lying at Cove, proceeded thither yesterday, in company
with Head-constable Crowley, for the purpose of search-
ing for him. When they arrifved in Cove they were
joined by Constable Casey of that district, and the three
proceeded on board an American vessel, named the N.
1). Chase, bound for Boston, where the passengers un-
derwent a rigid scrutiny to ascertain if Redmond was on
board. While examining the emigrants, Head-constable
Crowley perceived a gentlemanly looking man, whose
face he thought familiar to him, upon which he asked
him his name, which the other replied was Corcoran.
The head-constable, having some suspicion of him, con-
sulted with Constable Casey, and eventually they deemed
it their duty to take him into custody, notwithstanding
that another young gentleman stepped up, who stated
that his name was Daniel Corcoran, and that the
prisoner was his brother. Having brought him to
Cove, Constable Bean of the Monkstown station was
sent for, who identified the prisoner as the gentleman
who stated his name to be Murray at the Monkstown
Hotel, and who had made his escape from the two po-
licemen. Upon this the prisoner admitted that he was
Mr. Terence Bellew M`Manus, and gave satisfactory an-
swers to every question put to him, stating that Mr.
Corcoran was not aware who he was, but thought he was
going to America for family reasons, and did not wish
his own name to be used, and he therefore permitted him
to use his. He expressed great regret at the two police-
men having been dismissed on his account at Monks-
town, and with tears in his eyes stated that if he had
succeeded in getting to America he would have provided
handsomely for them and their families. As to his own
fate, he said he was indifferent about it, provided that he
had been of any use to Ireland, which he trusted he bad,
but that he feared that she was become the scorn of the
surrounding nations. Mr. M'Manus having been se-
cured, the constables again went on board to arrest Mr.
Daniel Corcoran, for harbouring him and aiding him to
escape, but as soon as they got to the vessel some dispo-
sition was evinced, particularly by the women, to prevent,
any further arrests. However, when the mate was in-
formed that the vessel could be put under seizure, he
permitted the police to arrest Mr. Corcoran and convey
him on shore. Both prisoners were brought up in the
Cove steamer last night and placed in the Bridewell,
where two policemen were left in the cells of each of them,
ho were relieved every two hours.
" This morning they were brought up handcuffed, and
guarded by three policemen, with their guns and
bayonets, to the police-office, for examination before
Captain White and Mr. A. F. Roche.
" Mr. M'Manus was in most excellent spirits, and
very communicative to those friends and persons who
thought proper to ask him any questions ; but Mr. Cor-
coran was rather reserved, and preserved a rigid silence.
"After the examination of two constables, informations
were drawn up and sworn to, the prisoners having first
read them.
" The two gentlemen were then removed from the
court handcuffed, and placed in separate jingles, one
containing Mr. Walker and two policemen, and the other
H. C. Crowley and two more, and, escorted by four
mounted men they were driven off to the City Gaol.
Previous to being removed, Mr. M'Manus, who is a
most gentlemanly person in appearance and address, '
thanked those gentlemen who had shown him any kind-
ness, and said he did not regret any act he had done,
but would cheerfully go through it again."
