LONDON, Sept. Goth, 1855.
In my letter Of last Saturday informed
you that news had Just reached us from Ire.
land Of certain arrests, under authority OF the
Pnvy Council, 'eading people TO look for ao
attempted rising Of the mysterious order
known as the Fenians. I well remember,
during my residence In the United States,
some years ago, the Interest which used 10
sttach to the movements Of the acolytes Of
the alone STAR order. especially In the
Southern States; and at later date, the ee-
cTet trcasons and open insnrrection of the
cut-throats known as the "EnIghts Of the
Golden Circle" What, thank God, has failed
In America, Is now. 1t w~uld appear, to be
tried with us. 1sslll hold to my opinion that
The Fenian nonsense has been magnided into
the tiekenlne pngnacity Of Orange
men and tic cravcn-hcartcdness Of certain
landlords but, as the Government Is acting
with unWonted vigos, It may be the authori-
ties possess Information which, thus far, IL
Withheld from the general public. Ireland,
country In Europe where anything like con-
spirncy could succeed; Tor. conspirn.o1s re-
quire secrecy and good faith to cover their de-
signs. Now tt there be one crime which Irish
men charge npon lrishmen, 1t Is the sin Of
trcachcry. Tho chronicles, stories and bal
ton. ono against the other; and there Is
scarcely narrow pass or old bridge In the
Island which does not glory in q tradition Of
being az<t defended. then sold. No wonder,
then, In face Of this selEasscrtcd national
characteristic that the Fenfan aspirations
should be niprcd in their very bud
You will find your files OF English pap ,rs-
by this mail absolutely teem{ng with lnte1lI-
gence Of Fenian plans nrd arrests, but YOU
DO wrong TO argue theseitom that any amount
Of excitement exists among our people On the
subject The whole affair Is simply ridIcu-
l0us. for tue ealne amount Of danger attends
it as riot Of your foreign citizens at Mack
ere1vil1e, New York civ. The fact is, our
summer has been exceptionally long and tne;~
the continent of Europe asleep, courts travel
ling, and the papers filled with mo news"
So VIC jump nj q chance OF a sensation, and
set TO Hork writing it up with unexampled
zeal, and imagination.

NEWSPAPER.
The breaking up of the Iriah Peopfe news-
paper Office IN Dublin, aud the arrest OF the
employees, seems to have been the first deci-
eirc act on the part OF government, that
paper having asst'1ned the role Of organ Of
fcninnism during come weeks past. The fol-
lowing are the names of the parties arrested
10 the establishment

While these arrests were taking plnce in
