FENIANISM IN LONDON.

There being some reason to believe that the hunted
Fenians, Kelly and Deasy, for whose apprehension
so large a reward has been offered, might venture
to enter the metropolis by the way of the North-
Western Railway at the Euston-square terminus, a
body of rough Irishmen, numbering as many as 200
on Sunday night last, and about half that number
on Monday, were seen loitering about the neigh-
bourhood of the gates of the Euston terminus, and
acting under the direction of a respectably-dressed
man. This person appeared to be in command of
the party. Their attitude was of a most menacing
and threatening description ; and, indeed, some of
these men were actually said to have been seen with
firearms in their possession ; doubtless they were
assembled there for the purpose of rescuing the
Fenians Kelly and Deasy from the hands of the
authorities, should they arrive, and should an at-
tempt be made to capture them. The police autho-
rities at head-quarters having, however, received
information that these persons had congregated in
the threatening manner described, at once took
steps of a preventive nature to check any disturb-
ance which might arise. A strong body of the S
division of police, under command of some of the
most experienced officers of the force, were imme-
diately ordered by Sir Richard Mayne to remain
within the enclosure belonging to the railway com-
pany, and their presence, uo doubt, had the desired
effect, for although these apparently evil-disposed
persons again assembled on Tuesday night, they
retired to their homes after the arrival of the last
train, without making the least attempt to dis-
turb the usual quietude and order of proceedings.
There is every reason to believe that had the
Fenians Kelly and Deasy arrived, as was antici-
pated, at the station named, a most serious dis-
turbance would have taken place ; but an intimation
having fortunately been conveyed to the police
authorities, all precautions that could be taken
were taken.

As may naturally be supposed the intelligence
spread rapidly throughout the neighbourhood that
a Fenian rising was about to take place, and no
small alarm was created amongst the inhabitants
by the appearance of so large a body of men. It
was rumoured, and-with some truth, that the police
were armed with revolvers, and had there been any
attempt to rescue the prisoners from their custody
bloodshed would have been the consequence and
many lives would have been sacrificed, as the
officers from the North of England would in all
probability have immediately shot any Fenians in-
terfering with them in the exercise of their duty.
It having transpired in the examination of Kelly
at Manchester, when before the magistrate, that he
had resided for some time in London, it is considered
highly improbable that he will endeavour to reach
the metropolis, considering that there are a great
many persons who know him well, and the whole
of whom are on the alert and constantly on the
look out to effect his capture. On the morning
following the congregations of men at Euston-
square station an examination was made, and
several new percussion-caps were picked up, which
had been dropped, a fact which leaves no doubt that
they intended, if necessary, to resort to violent
measures.

ARRIVAL OF FENIAN CONVICTS AT PORTLAND.—
The Helicon, tender to the Channel Fleet, arrived in Port-
land Roads on Monday afternoon, with 12 Eenian pri-
soners on board, among them the noted Moriarty. In the
evening they were taken ashore, under a strong guard,
and were marched to the convict establishment.

MR. BRIGHT, M.P.—Previous to leaving the
residence of Mr. Caird, at Cassencarry, the Provosts of
Dumfries, Kircudbright, and Wigtown, with other gentle-
men, were invited to meet and dino with Mr. Bright.
Provost Turner, of Dumfries, availed himself of that op-
portunity of presenting to Mr. Bright a requisition, bearing
about forty signatures, which hid been hurriedly got up in
the town, inviting the h n. member for Birmingham to a
soiree, or other public meeting, at such a time as might
suit his convenience. Mr. Bright declined the invitation,
assigning as his reason his desire for rest after the fatigues
of the session.—Dumfries courier.
