From the London Shipping Gazette. Feb. POI
The soldiers in Dublin were ordered to remain in
their barracks on Saturday in readiness to render
their services, should necessity arise. There was
however, no sign Of an outbreak. The rebels were
taken utterly by surprise that even had their or
been much perfect than supposed
be- they would not have had sufficient time to fall into
their ranks and prepare for decided action The FIX
ecutive have, however made extensive preparations
for STRENGTHENING the force in Ireland. The First
battalion COdstream Guards from Chelsea, are to
leave Immediately for ireland. The Sixth dragons
have left their barracks at iIounslOw en- route far

On the same day picked force of non-commis-

ARMS PREPARED FOR THE CoNFEDERATEs SUPPLIED
TO THE FENIANS.
From the London Times, Feb 49,
There is reason for believing that small arms of
spurious manufacture haUe been sold in ertraordiGy
numbers recently by firm in the city of London and
that fresh consignment has made to them. How
sold or to whom does not at present appear except
in one instance which seems perfectly legitimate on
the part of the buyers at least nasmuch as the sale
effected
The firm in question are said to have disposed of.
Ifs many as eight thousand muskets of the kind men
toned, and to have in their possession three thous
and more. The barrels are supposed to be of Aus
tran manufacture, and to have been originally fab
rcated for the Confederate 8erUice during the Ameri
civil war; but that is only conjecture One ofthe
gun barrels was taken to the Mansion House on Sat-
urday, with the view TO an application for Il
mons against the parties selling them the ground
that they do not bear the mark brand of either the
London or birmingham proof house, which is essen
tial, and the want of which is an offence punishable
by heavy penalty.
