DUBLIN, July 23.

The Fenian " General," Fabriola, who had been
remanded, was brought up for examination yester-
day before Mr. Barton, police magistrate, and Col.
Lake, police commissioner. The prisoner is an in-
telligent-looking man, about 38 years of age. He
had no professional assistance. The case for the
Crown was conducted by Mr. Longaeld, the law
adviser. The prisoner was remanded till Monday.
Three young men, named Cornelius O'Brien,
Thomas Griffin, and John Goulding, were arrested
in Queeenstown harbour on Friday, on board the
outward bound American steamer Propontis, on the
charge of being of the party of Fenians, whoshortly
before the late general rising marched from Cahir-
civeen to near Killarney, under the command of
Gen. O'Connor, and some of whom shot the police-
man Duggan. It is said there is no doubt of their
identity. Their names have been in the Hue and
Cry since the commission of the crime. They are
still kept in Queenstown Bridewell.

A well-dressed young woman, named Elsa Bray,
was brought up at the Naas Petty Sessions, yester-
day, for attempting to pawn a gold watch, value

Armitt at Kingstown Regatta. The captain lies in
a weak state, attended by two doctors, in conse-
quence of the injuries hereceived when robbed. The

The appointment of Dean Alexander to the see of
Berry will give general satisfaction to the members
of the Church in this country, while to the clergy
and laity of the diocese it is, according to the Lon-
donderry Sentinel, particularly gratifying. Undoubt-
edly it brings a great accession of popular talent to
the Irish Church, and of a kind which willconciliate
the cultivated classes of society. Bishop -Gregg
rivals the Wesleyan ministers in the fervid style of
his preaching, but Bishop Alexander will please the
learned as well as the unlearned. There is only one
objection to him that I have heard. He is a graduate
of Oxford. We have four graduates from that Uni-
vers!tynow on the Irish Bench—the Primate, the
Archbishop of Dublin, the Bishop of Tuam, Dr.
Bernard, and Dr Alexander.' The late Archbishop
of Dublin was also an Oxford man. The Irish clergy
would not object that members of the Oxford Uni-
versity should be promoted to the high places of the
United
Irish branch of the Church if members of
