THE FENIAN ARREST ON BOARD THE
ORIANA.

The consul passenger, Lionel Granville, who was
arrested on board the Oriana on Monday, upon
the supposition that he was Captain Deasy, or,
at any rate, that he was implicated in the
Manchester outrage• in September last, has
now been released from custody. Granville
went on' board the Oriana as a consul passenger
at the Italian port of Leghorn, and during the pas-
sage from' thence his conduct' and conversation gave
rise to the supposition he mas a prominent member
of the Fenian Brotherhood. Intelligence to that
effect had been communicated to the police, and on
the Oriana's arrival at London-bridge a body of
the Thames police, in two boats, followed the
ship up the river, and several detectives at
the same time boarded the vessel from the shore
side. Granville was taken into custody, an I pri-
vately conveyed to the Leman-street police-stata )1),
Goodman's-fields; Whitechapel. Corniminications
were at once made by t:kgram to Manchester, and
detectives from thence were quickly on the spot ; but
they failed to recognise him either as Capt. Deasy
or Kelly ; and, after a private examination, Gran-
ville was discharged from custody, no evidence
being forthcoming to implicate him with any of the
Fenian outrages: Ile is entirely indebted to his
own conduct and statements for his arrest and the
implications connected therewith.

The Manchester police, according to the Exa-
miner and Times, appear to entertain no doubt that
the man apprehended at London Bridge, and who
gives the name• of Lionel Granville, is a man
who was in Manchester recently, passing under
.that name, and having no supposed con-
nection with Fenianism. He was, as stated
in some London reports of his apprehension,
in Manchester at the time of the attack on the
van," but he was never suspected of being a parti-
cipant in the attack. About a week after that
event he was engaged in -the Manchester police
force on trial, and was discharged,as he did not give
satisfaction.

THE FRENCH DEMOCRATS AND THE

FENIA.NS:

The Z imes of this morning, at the request of Mr.
Felix I'yat, publishes the address of the French De-
mocrats to their brethern in England and Ireland.
They declare that the three convicts at Manchester
were condemned, not for killing a policeman, but
for having rescued two patriot chiefs, and: for
having done that which no Government can
pardon—risen in insurrection against tyranny.
The address received the following signa-
tures :—Albert, ancien membre du Gouvernment
Provisoire, ancien representant du peuple,
Seine ; Greppo, ancien representant du peuple,
Rhone ; Ferdinand Gambon, ancien represen-
tant du peuple, Nievre; Malardser, ancien re-
presentant du peuple, Nievre ; Collet, ancien
Commandant de la Garde Nationale de Paris ; H.
Tolaiu, redacteur du Courrier Francais; Baron de
Sonat ; Charpentier, Professeur ; Villeneuve, Doc-
teur en Medecin ; Chavelet, Docteur en Droit ;
Herpe, Ingenieur Civil ; Robert, artiste.

ROCHDALE, Gth.—The market for flannel to-day
has been flat. There was a meagre attendance of
buyers, and but small selections of goods were pur-
chased. The general feeling in the trade is indica-
tive of slackness for the next few markets till the
accounts for the past year are settled. The manu-
facturers are scarcely so well employed as they were
a short time ago, manufacturers showing great care
not to overstock the market. The Yorkshire goods
trade remains quiet, and the same may be said as to
wool. Prices of both goods and wool are without
change since last week.

POSTAL CONTRACTS.—The contracts just con-
cluded between the Postmaster-General and various
steamship companies for the carriage of mails to America,
gave rise to a large amount of official correspondence be-
tween the Treasury, the Postmaster-General, and the re-
spective companies interested. This correspondence,
which appears as a Parliamentary paper of 61 pages,
shows that there are at present four regular mails
per week between this country and the United States,
conveyed respectively by the North German Lloyd,
the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia, the Montreal
Ocean Steamship Company, and by the ships of Messrs.
Cunard, Burns, and Maclver. From a letter addressed
by the Duke of Montrose (as Postmaster-General) to the
Lords of the Treasury, it appears that the last-mentioned,
commonly called the Cunard line, is most used for cor-
respondence between the two countries, " which is evident
from the fact that 46 per cent. of the whole international
correspondence from this country to the United States,
and 50 per cent. of the international correspondence from
the United States to this country, are carried by this
line." The correspondence is regularly despatched by the
first mail made up after it is posted, so that the cor-
respondence sent by the Cunard steamers must be
specially written for this line. It appears, moreover,
that during the present year twenty-six out of thirty-
five mails despatched from Queenstown to New York on
Sunday were delivered in that city on or before Thursday
in the following week, and thirty-eight out of forty-two
homeward mails despatched fro►n the United States on
Wednesday arrived in time for delivery in London and
the principal towns of the United Kingdom on or before
the morning of Monday in the next week but one after
the date of despatch. The same letter observes " that no
• such regularity of communication has hitherto been
afforded by the other lines." At the close of the present
year the contract with Messrs. Cunard and Co. will expire,
and as it has been decided that the British Government
shall for the future provide only for the outward mails,
tenders were advertised for by the Pest-office, and four
were received. The companies tendering required from 11
and a half to 14 days for the voyage, and the Duke of
Montrose considered that the acceptance of these tenders
would expose correspondence to an unnecessary amount
of delay, and the changes which would follow on the
acceptance of these tenders would be—(l) a reduction of
accommodation front the let of January next so far as the
outward mails are concerned; (2) a change in the practice
of the mercantile community with regard to those mails;
(3) absolute uncertainty as to the homeward mails; (4)
the loss of the advantages which the department or the
public derives from sortation; and (5) the certainty that
as the sea postage on the articles convey&l has to be paid
to those who convey the outward mails, no increase in
the quantities so conveyed will bring any profit to the
department. Messrs. Cunard and Co. declined to fill
up the advertised form of tender, but expressed their
willingness to perform a weekly service between Queens-
town and New York, under certain conditions—to be paid
£120,000 per annum if required to touch at Halifax, and
£95,000 when no longer required to do so. This is a re-
duction of £33,000 per annum on the present annual sub-
sidy received by this company. The Lords of the Trea-
sury eventually empowered the Postmaster-General to
offer to Messrs. Cunard and Co. the sum of £BO,OOO for
the carriage of these mails during 12 months, which offer
was finally accepted by that firm on the 4th of November,
and will take effect on Saturday next.—Pall Mall Gazette.
