The Fenians in ireland.

The Cork Constitution gives some par
ticulars respecting the spread of Fenian-
ism in the county of Cork, and the in
creased boldness of its members. The
Cork paper says:
That the Fenian Brotherhood are
daily numerically increasing in this To-
cality is unquestionable : that they are
growing more and more careless as to
whether their movements are observed
or not is also quite apparent. Little at
tempt is made at concealment or secrecy.
They no longer seek the cover OF the
night to practice their evolutlons or 10
hold their meetings. In open Gay they
assemble, not on unfrequented noun
tains or lonely, out-of-the-way places,
but close to the city and even march
along the public roads in military iash,
| ion, in closely packed and well-ordered
ranks. They discuss their plans and
avow their Intentions almost without
reserve. -f9I -
At least such state of things exists
in this part of the country, and to a
greater extent than is generally known.
During the present summer the mem
bers of the organization in each locality
have been in the habit of assembling at
dusk every evening in some convenient
place. previously arranged by the lead
ers. Here they go through a course of
instruction as regularly and attentively
as the soldier of the line--are formed
into squads, and taught setting-up drill,
and when they can hold their heads
erect and keep their shoulders square in
soldierlike fashion, are marched IN
slow and quick time, are then shaped
| into company, told off into sub.divi-
sions. sections, fours, &c. in which FORM
| alton they perform all the evolutions
requisite to make the company eligible
| for its place in battalion. They are
| also Instructed III the use of the rifle
AT certain periods the squads are march
ed In from the various parts where they
have been instructed in the elementary
drill; are formed into companies, equal
lied. and work together as a battalion
does on parade, deploying, into line
