DUBLIN, MARCII 1.

A singular application was made to Mr. Stronge
at the Capel-street Police-street yesterday, by an
American lady. She requested permission to see
one of the Fenian prisoners, a very young man
named James Smith, who had come over with her
as "an attendance." She was going back by the
City of Washington on Monday or Tuesday next.
She had a return ticket for the prisoner, who is a
native of Philadelphia and an American citizen,
and if he " would not be allowed back," it would be
" unkind-like" for her to return without seeing him.
She would not go to the American Consul because
she did not want "to humble the British Govern-
ment," and the Consul would not apply for one pri-
soner " as all the American citizens have got to come
out." Mr. Stronge said if the lady did not chose to
apply to Mr. West, the American Consul, the next best
course for her to adopt would be to communicate
with Sir Thomas Larcom on the subject. The
applicant then said, " I don't wish to do that. I
know Mr. lVest very well ; he is from the same part
of America as myself. He told me that he would get
all the American citizens out." Mr. Stronge replied
that he could not give an order to see a prisoner that
had not been committed to prison by himself. The
applicant then retired from the court, evidently
disappointed with the result of the interview. .
A proclamation 193 been issued offering a reward
of £lOO for such information as will lead to the
arrest of Geary, who firedon head-constable O'Sulli-
van in the town of Newcastle on the 21st inst. The
Gazette also contains proclamations dated the 27th
inst., calling in, on or before the 3d of March next,
all arms, ammunition, &c., in the localities to which
the provisions of the Peace Preservation Act were
extended by proclamations dated the 23d inst. These
include Belfast, Galway town and county, King's
and Queen's Counties, Westmeath, Down, and
Fermanagh.
Five men were arrested yesterday in the house
No. 32, Synge-street, Dublin. They gave their
names as Peter Dunne, grocer's assistant ; Thomas
O'Brien, a Tipperary farmer ; Michael 111‘Ginn,
from Armagh ; T. Brogham, Tipperary ; and O'Far-
rell, formerly in the Irish People office. The last
had been previously in custody, and was out on
bail. On hearing the police enter the house he got
across a garden wall into a carpenter's yard, and
began to work with a plane, but the police followed
and arrested him.

Two policemen have been arrested in Cork on
suspicion of Fenianism. John Mullen, Staff-
Sergeant, was brought up in custody of Police-con-
stable, 21 D, charged with having been drunk and
disorderly on Ellis's-quay between 10 and 11 o'clock
last night. On being conveyed to the station-house
the prisoner, as alleged, conducted himself in a most
.disorderly manner, and used language of a seditious
nature, shouting, "Arc you Fenians ? Are you
Irishmen ? If you are not going to do anything, go
for help." The magistrate sentenced the prisoner
for a month, with hard labour.
The court-martial on Sergeant Darragh has ad-
journed its further sitting till Thursday, to give the
prisoner an opportunity of preparing his defence.
It is whispered that Warner has preferred a new set
of information by which many are compromised.
This is not yet a certainty.
Twelve persons have been arrested as Fenians at
Castlebar, of whom nine belong to the Mayo Militia.
A correspondent writing-on Tuesday says :--
"It was pitiful to see the friends of the unfortu-
nate young men crying and running after them on
their way to the barracks. Many a curse, no doubt,
is uttered against those who have been the cause of
entrapping them into the conspiracy, if not by them-
selves, at least by their friends. While the con-
stabulary were bringing off the last man arrested
(Carter) some female friends swooned. When two
young boys (Rogers) were being arrested, they were
surrounded by a large body of women and children,
who were crying and roaring most piteously. How-
ever one may condemn Fenianism it is heartrending
to
see those demonstrations of grief on the part of

Two additional arrests have been made in Belfast.
Among the numerous arrests for Fenianism in the
county of Limerick (33 altogether) is Mr. R. Casey,
master of the Rathkeale workhouse.
The court-martial on Private Patrick Brien, at
Enniskillen, was continued yesterday, when the
prisoner called witnesses for the defence.
Thomas Finn, Mr. Thomas Ciartlan, and the
