On last night armed bands of Fcnians as
scmblcd in various places in the suburbs of
Duhlin. AID attacked the police stations
Eilmscudy, Tallagh, and Glencullen. The
cbief attack was made at Glencullen by q
b,dy of about 500 men, who assembled on
Tuesday night at Midtown and proceeded
to the Dundrum station, on which they
noade an unsuccessful attack. They next
attacked the barrack at Stepaside, and cap
,n-ed the constable and four men. The Glen
cu,rcn police barrack was the first point
attacked. Here the police made spirited
resistance. Several volleys were ex-
changed, and the police had finally to sur
rco8rr. The Fenians then proceeded
through the mountains to killakee, having
made in all thirteen prisoners.
4, Tallagh the Fenians numbered from
soo 10 COO. Several collisions occurred
between them and the police during the
night. In the first, the police force con-
sisted of twelve men, under Superintend-
emf Bgrkc. On the first fire the Fenians
ran. The second skirmish took place be-
tween the same party ofpolice and another
body of FenanS. NolleyS were exchanged !;
one If the Fenians was mortally wounded,
and another wounded severely. The Fee
mans. who, though in large force, were i'm
. perfectly armed, decamped hastily, throw
ing away their weapons. A detachment OF
lanccrS was sent to Tallagh this morning,
aud captured eighty-three of the insur-
gents. The attack made by the Fenians
on the Kilmacudy station failed, and the
party made off in panic to the Dublin
mountains. The FenianS were seen IN
large numbers during the night at Kill
mainham, Crumlin, and in the direction OF
the Green Hills. The roads at Crumlin
were patrolled during the morning by

LwERICK, Wednesday morning.-The
n,,lrriouS reports Of an intended general
rHg of FenianS last night that were in
general circulation here yesterday became
more connected and positive during the
evening, and general apprehension seem
ed 10 exist. A fire broke out In corn
store IN Old Francis street, occupied by
Mr. Frost, of William street, about s
O'Clock, and ragged with great fierceness
for >,me hours, till the building was com
oIrtrly destroyed. Great crowds gathered
A. the spot, and a remarkable apathy
'rcmcd TO prevail on the part OF great
luuberS of the spectators. Several fire.
.lglnes were brought out, and worked as
ze,l AS the labyrinthian nature of the To-
Atty permitted, but no military or police
we're sent, the whole force of the city be-
rs under arms and at their posts, pre-
jared to act for the suppression of disturb
ll.e, should any arise.
The fire may be said to have burned it
sill out. Sparks and brands were carried
.g the wind all over the populous neigh
.o.aood, and a matched house in lane at
Suc distance caught fire from these, and
Va, also destroyed. While this fire was
TIE centre of attraction, and the main
streets were quite deserted, the shop OF
NJ. Dclany, gunsmith, Rutland street, was
entered by some parties at present IN
known, and as many as twenty-five stand
of arms were carried off, along with pistols
and powdcr-horns.
