On Invitation of Lord Fermon, the Lord
Lieutenant of the county of Cork, q meetingof
more than 100 magistrates took place recently
In Cork to consider the security of the public
peace as menaced by the Fenian movements.
The proceedings were private, but the Cork
Erdns.fser says they resulted in the unanimous
adoption of memorial to Government pray
ing f0r an Immediate increase in the police
force OF the country. The existence of secret
organizations dangerous to the public peace
wa, was generally admitted. and it was supposed
be sufficient to maintain public order.
On Friday evening, the 18th in Dublin, q
large force Of police proceeded from the Castle
TO Parliament street, where they divided into
two bodies, one at either end of the street.
Some detectives then knocked at the door of
Eenian organ, but were refused admission.
Inc police then broke open the door, took
possession Of the premises, and secured twelve
or fourteen prisoners, said not to be compost
tors, and conveyed them to the Castle. The
police then returned the possession of the
premises. There is no Information as to the
cause OF the seizure, but there are rumors Of
concealed arms and documents with the names
OF the leaders, but the reports are not gener-
ally credited. The police kept the street clean
and there was no disturbance. The Irish Peo-
| pie is weekly journal, and was about to be
published that evening. fa.,,e

The New York correspondent of the London
Times enlarges upon the fact that the South is
most anxious for reconciliation with the North
and quotes sundry Southern journals in sup
port of loyal and friendly feeling which was
being evinced for the Union.
QUEENsrowN, Sept. 1.-THE Irish police
continue to arrest Fenians. The number of
prisoners Is very large, among others, person
said to be captain in the American army, in
whose possession documents and uniforms
were found. On Sunday afternoon the prison.
ers, escorted by mounted police, were taken
TO the police court, to undergo examination.
The result has not transpired. The mob heart
lily cheered the prisoners, but made no attempt
to rescue. private council Is said to be set
ting to determine what course the authorities
should take In the prosecution and sentence of
the arrested parties. Excitement prevails in
Dublin, and arrests are being made in other
parts of Ireland
The Dublin Neacs Letters own correspondent
has second letter on the social aspect of the
south of Ireland. in which he takes present
view Of Fenianism. He says among the hum
bier classes there is q strong feeling of discon-
tent and dissatisfaction with the English gov.
ernment and yet founded upon no one specific
object of complaint The principal districts In
which Fenianism prevails to marked extent
are Dublin. Cork, Tpperary, Limerick and
Sligo, and drilling at night ndpretended hurl-
"A good many arms are being got to.
gether by affiliated members but their drilling
Is as yet insufficient, as the men do not venture
together in any large bodies.
However, their organization Ia becoming
better every day, and, without there being the
least ground for alarm, In mercy to the people
themselves, those who have made them their
dupes ought to be proceeded against without
delay. In many places men from America
have returned with the ostensible view Of See
ing their friends, and well supplied with gold,
not greenbacks. L may add that most in
telligent gentleman just returned from Chicago
after being absent from ireland for eighteen
years, informed me that very strong conyic-
ton Of the feasibility of an invasion Of this
country exists across the Atlantic. That money
to very large amount Is available, but that the
American Government is most sincere In it's eff
forts to discourage the whole affair; that every
opposition Is given to it by officials, and not
without already producing good effect.
