Critical State OF Affairs I'm Cork.

IFrom the Cork Constitution, September p.
The arrests continue in this city, and doubt
less, from the information of which the au-
thorities are possessed, before they stop every
person in the locality prominently connected
with the movement will be taken into custody.
Notwithstanding the quiet way in which the
proceedings are taken, each Fenian being ap-
pretended without any noise or cOmmotion,
the fact quickly gets currency, and at each
arrest the crcjtcmeRt Of the people IS increased.
Yesterday the subject was uppermost in every
persons mind-thc prevailing desire was to
news about the body, ,chose ramifcations are
are nor seen to be much more crtcHSjcc than raS
preriouSly Hought, and each successive day 5
arrests only confirm the fact.
FURTHER ARRESTS.
Since last report four persons have been ar
rested-two soldiers one a drum major and
the other sergeant, and the third and fourth
civilians. The drum major is named Farrell,
and belongs to the 1st battalion of the I'd
regiment; the sergeant is named Butler of the
99th. Both were apprehended for having
Fenian documents about them and were COM
mitted to the military cells The civilians are
John Hawkes. and John Carmory. Hawkes. is
a man employed at Mr.. John Russell's estab-
lishment, Prince street. He was taken yester
day by Head Constable Geale and Constable
Carson and committed to prison. Carmody,
who is a slater and plasterer, was arrested in
the evening by Head Constable O'Neill. He
met him casually in South Main street and
| took him to the Bridewell. A great crowd
followed, but no opposition was offered.
FENIANIsM IN THE ARMY.
With regard to the military arrests it may
be stated that an error occurred in mentioning
yesterday that an acting sergeant major of the
I'd regiment, a sergeant musketry instructor
and a company sergeant had been taken,
charged with reasonable practices The act
ing sergeant major is an old and respected
non-commissioned officer in the Queens regi-
ment and quite free from any imputation of
dsloyalty; the sergeant musketry inspector is
| at Youghal fulfilling his duties, and has not
been in Cork for some time: and as regards
! the company sergeant the statement is equally
| incorrect; but it is no wonder that such state
ments should gain publicity, because, though
| it is known that arrests were made Ill the bar
| racks, it is utterly impossible to get informa-
ton, owing to the retlcence of the military au-
thorities, the result of which is that inaccurate
statements are circulated, and in too many
| cases implicitly believed. There is no doubt
however, that Drum Major Farrell, Of the I'd
regiment, and Sergeant Butler, of the 99th,
have been arrested for Fenianism, and there
garrison, though not under arrest are very
sharply watched; for their completely in the
Fenian movement is more than a suspicion.
There is large number of Enghshmen and
some Scotchmen in the barracks, and a good
deal of bitterness exists among them that any
man of their corps should be connected with
| the Fenians.
