and the barbers had some hours' hard work.

Many of those arrested are from England, and
belong to London, Greenwich, Sheffield, Oldham,
Ashton-under-Lyne, Liverpool, and Hartlepool.
Their names are Henry Gibbons, John Sheil, James
O'Neal, Owen Bartley, John Hammond, Henry
O'Connor, Henry Browne, John Mahon, Patrick
Gill, John Browne, John Toohy, Bartholomew
Kane, Francis Balle, Austin Maly, Thomas Con-
nolly, Thomas Lawless, Matthew Regan, Thomas
Brien, Michael Green, Patrick Myles, Edward
O'Shaughnessy, Thos. Tracy, Edward Drummond,
Thomas M'Manus, and Thomas Whetston. In only
one case has there been any resistance to the police.

Among those arrested in Dublin the following
were officers in the American army :—Capt. D. J.
Mykins, 107th Regiment ; Capt. E. J. O'Doherty,
aide-de-camp to General Owen.
Two brothers named G-leeson, American officers,
have been arrested at Borrisoleigh. They emigrated

from that place about 15 years ago. Both joined
the Federal army, and rose during the war, one to
the rank of brigadier-general, and the other to that
of captain. They have been about four months in
this country, residing with their father.
The evening papers contradict the statement
which appeared in some of the morning journals that
Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. Luby, and Mrs. O'Donovan
had been arrested. Two persons, named Parker,
father and son, arrested on Saturday, have been
liberated.

Among the places searched in Dublin was the
publichouse, No. 1, William's-row, which was taken
possession of by a party of the C division. A num-
ber of persons who were at the bar at the time were
detained while the search was being made, but no
arms, ammunition, or documents were found, but
Mr. Cleary, the proprietor of the establishment, was
arrested. A large and excited crowd assembled in
the neighbourhood, and the police had much diffi-
culty in dispersing them ; and constable 44 C was
knocked down, as it is stated, by a young man
named Geoghan.

The parties arrested have been lodged either in
_ _

'the Mountjoy Convict Prison, or at Kilmainham.
It is said that the prisoners detained under the new
act will be sent to Spike Island. The city is per-
fectly quiet. No person attending to his lawful busi-
ness is questioned by the police at any hour of the
night. They have a quick eye for suspicious cha-
racters, and they do not trouble others.
The strictness of the search for arms may be in-
ferred from the following cases :
A man named Brophy, the keeper of a publichouse
at 19, Phibsborough-road, was brought before Mr.
Stronge at the Capel-street police-office yesterday,
in custody of Inspector Harrington, charged with
the illegal possession of a sword. Inspector Har-
rington said that he went into Mr. Brophy's shop
and asked him had he any arms, on which the pri-
soner at once handed him a sword. The prisoner
said he told the police some time ago that he had
the sword, and he had expected them to call for it.
Inspector Masterson confirmed the statement. Mr.
Brophy was ordered to procure the bail of two
householders to the extent of £25 each, and to give
his own personal bail to the extent of £5O. He
stated that his character was well known, and that
he had the sword for no unlawful purpose. Mr.
Ennis bore testimony to the character of Mr.
Brophy. The bail was procured. Geo. Chambers
was also brought before Mr. Stronge by Inspector
Darcy, charged with the illegal possession of a
Chinese dagger, at his residence, 3, Upper Mecklen-
burg-street, on Saturday last. Mr. Ennis, who
appeared for the prisoner, handed in a letter dated
in 1860, showing that the prisoner had received the
dagger from his brother, a sergeant-major, who had
been in China. He was ordered to procure simi-
lar bail to that required in the previous case.
James R. Gorman, a blacksmith, from Carlow
Grainge, was arrested last evening in Back-lane,
where the police found 70 rifle cartridges, 141 b.
weight of gunpowder, and a large quantity of ma-
chine-cut cartridge paper. He was conveyed to
Mountjoy Prison. Shortly afterwards, as Police-
constable 67 A was passing down Patrict-street he
was deliberately assaulted by a man named Martin
Donelly; he was taken info custody for the assault,
but after his arrest it was discovered that he was a
person suspected of Fenianism, and he was trans-
mitted to Mountjoy Prison. During the night 37
prisoners, collected from various police stations,
were removed to Mountjoy Prison, under an escort
of the 10th Hussars.

The police have been active in Cork and Queens-
town, but no arrests of importance have yet been
made in either of those places or in the neighbour-
ing towns. At Waterford Joseph Heyland, of the
Federal army, has been arrested on suspicion.
A military court-martial was held in Cork yes-
terday. The following report of the proceedings
has been furnished by the correspondent of the
Daily Express:—

"A general court-martial was held to-day (Monday), in
Cork barracks, to inquire into charges preferred against
Drum-major Farrell, 2d Regiment ; Sergeant Durrah, 2d
Regiment ; Sergeant Butler, 32d Regiment ; and Private
Conroy. The. following officers comprised the Court :
Col. Shute, 4th Dragoon Guards, president ; Lieut.-Col.
F. R. Main, 2d battalion Ist Foot; Major W. C. O'Brien,
73d ; Major J. C. Weir, Ist battalion 2d Foot; Major V. J.
Bazalgette, 37th ; Capt. C. P. Teesdale, Ist battalion 11th
Foot ; Capt. W. N. Waller, Royal Artillery ; Capt. Richard
Maunsell, 2d battalion 11th Foot; Capt. J. C. T. Drako
Ist battalion 2d Foot ; Capt. J. B. M'Kenzie, 2d battalion
Ist Foot; Lieut. G. F. O'Grady, Ist battalion 2d Foot ;
Lieut. G. A. Scott, Ist battalion 2d Foot; Ensign Joseph
Pratt, 2d battalion Ist Foot ; Cornet John Chadwick, 4th
Dragoon Guards. Sergeant Durrah was first put on his
trial. Colonel Nugent, Deputy Judge-Advocate, read the
charges against the prisoner, which were for having, in or
about April, 1865, been guilty of mutinous conduct in
not reporting an intended mutiny of her Majesty's forces
which came to his knowledge ; and for having, in or about
the same month, joined a treasonable and seditious con-
spiracy, having for its object the levying of war against
the Queen. _

" Colonel Lane Fox, the prosecutor, then addressed the
Court. lie said that the evidence would show that the
prisoner was a friend of Bryan Dillon, at present confined
in Pentonville ; that 'Warner, the informer, had sworn in
the prisoner as a member of the Fenian Society ; that the
prisoner had introduced J. J. Geary and J. Thomson into
the sergeants' mess-room ; that he had seduced men in his
regiment from their allegiance ; and that Geary had relied
upon the prisoner to command the military- in case of a re-
volt. The prosecution was brought under the 3Gth article of
the Articles of War, an extract from which stated that any
officer or soldier who should join in any military or treason-
able conspiracy should, upon conviction, be liable to suffer
death, or penal servitude for any term not exceeding five
years, or any other sentence that a general court-martial
should direct. Tho second charge brought the prisoner
under the operation of the 104th article of the Articles of
War. The mode of procedure on his part would be to prove
the existence of the conspiracy. In so doing ho would
follow the practice adopted in the civil courts in similar
cases confining himself to the documentary evidence
