land-NlOre ArreStS-Mur4er of a
Suspected InfOrmer.
Late on Thursday evening, March IA a
telegram was received at Portsmouth di-
recting that all the available vessels of war
should be dispatched to Ireland with the
least possible delay. Yesterday the Royal
Sovereign was ordered to proceed direct to
ireland. The Bellerophon sailed yesterday
morning, and the Niobe ON Thursday even
ing. The Terrible is to follow Immediately,
also the Stork and Pheasant guuboats.-
The Hector was ready to go, but her main
mast split. and the order was counter
manded. The report of Fenian fleet from
America Is said to be the cause of this
movement. A Portsmouth telegram of
March To- in the Standard, is as follows {:

munition there, by special permission
They will 90 to Ireland Immediately. The

THE FAILURE OF THE FENIAN RISING.
CCork "Wednesday, March 49, correspondence Of
the London Daily Nsws0
The insurpection has thoroughly collaps-
ed in all the southern counties. It is be-
lieved that not single band of rebels re-
mains in Cork, Tipperary, Limerick, Glare
Waterford, or Kerry; at least none have
been seen for the last three days, although
the closest and most vigorous searches have
been prosecuted by the police and military
in all the districts in which the disturb
ances have taken place. The popular the.
tory now is that the Fenians have deter
mined to postpone the attempt to more
favorable opportunity, about which specu-
lation is already rife. The 18th Instant
st. Pdtrick's Day--is generally accepted a:
the time at which the insurrection is to be
Presumed. The Fenians on the Galltees-tol
it is now generally believed that they were
in some force in the mountains-are be.
lieved to have dispersed soon after the
council held on Saturday. At all events il
is pretty well ascertained that none of then
remain in the mountains. The weather ha!
been fearfully severe, and its influence il
depressing the Insurgents was probably
greater than any exercised by the pres
ence of the military forces in the country
Experience has proved that it is no Difficult
task for hardy peasants well acquainted
with the country, and possessing
as they undoubtedly do, the sym
Lpathies OF the bulk of the people
to evade the pursuit of the oyer-burdenec
infantry, but there was no possibility o
lodging the icy winds and the storm, sleet
and rain that beat pitilessly on the slope
OF the Galltees for the last four or five days
The men began to see the hopeless natur
OF thetask in which they had engaged, ant
the promptings of returning common sense
the literally cool reflection for which the,
have had ample opportunities, have led f
| a result which is equally happy, whethe
