ufacturing towns in Lancashire. Among
the arrests are q few Irish-Americans, for
whom q reward of f200 have been offered.
One Murphy, from Boston, on being ar
rested, said he should represent his case
to Mr.. Seward. On the mention of that
name, he was set free by the authorities
at Dublin Castle. The panic at Cork and
other towns in the southwest, had not
been diminished. There have been runs
upon the local banks; steamers and pas
sengers' baggage have been searched for
documents and revolvers. A gunboat is
cruising off Cork harbor to intercept q
Yankee ship said to be on the way to Ire.
land with arms for Fenians. Two of the
officers Of the Cork garrison have been ar
rested. There are rumors that a consider
able portion of the garrison are sworn
Fenians. There is a lively demand for
FIRE arms by those who mean to defend
| themselves. 4 notable feature Of the
| affair is the humble rank of those who
have been arrested. They are small
tradesmen, clerks, artisans, etc. The most
| considerable prisoner in Dublin, Taylor,
chief informer against the Fenians, ap-
pears to have been the M who had been
advanced to the grade of Colonel in the
great Fcnian army, but who, having no
paw, rations or forage suitable to his rank,
had been suffered to 90 to the workhouse.
This unfortunate dignitary, brooding over
his wrongs concluded that low treason to
his associates would be more profitable
than high treason against his Queen, he
sold them to Sir Robert, at the Castle.
This informer, who has the credit of being
the first to sell the Fenians, is said to
have been q violent Orangeman who went
to Cork and pretended to become Catholic
and n patriot. Unless ships loaded with
American Fenian arms and supplies were
on their way and succeed m making their
landing in spite Of iron-clads and gum
boats, on the Irish coast, we shall not hear
much more Of the Fenian organizations in
Ireland. Two or three hundred will be
arrested, and of those a dozen or moro
will be tried for treason and sentenced to
penal scrvitude as an example even those
will 500 be pardoned.
