Rumored Een,an Plot.-The Illustration
of q supposed Fenian plot at Newcastle,
announced in the papers, is thus referred
to in Friday evenings edition of the North
ern Daily Express, published at New
castle: "The movement of the Fenian
sympathisers in this district have aroused
the suspicious of the authorities, who have
been on the alert for some time and their
suspicious are confirmed by the arrival in
Newcastle of quantity Of firearms, adj
dressed to the keeper of public house in
to have Fenian proclivities. The police,
we understand, have seized the consign-
,ment, which came from Birmingham, and
of the dispatch of which, no doubt there
was some information. About two hundred
rifles were found among the articles seized;
and orders have been issued for the police
authorities to keep q strict watch upon the
proceedings of the disconnected Irish in
this district. There is every reason to fear
that some movement, either in Newcastle
or elsewhere, has been contemplated but
the activity of the police may Illustrate the
designs of the misguided men.
Strange A1air in Birkenhead. = Seven
Irishmen, named O'Neil, Carroll, Rooney,
Burke, M'Antee, OHare, and Mcconnell
gistrates on Monday, charged with drilling
in quarry near that town on Sunday last.
Early that morning the Rev. Mr.. Morrow,
vicar OF a church near the quarry, saw men
collecting there, and heard shots fred,
whilst men were stationed as sentinels out
side the quarry. Subsequently meeting
one of the men in the town, Mr. Morrow
gave him into custody. This man had q
revolver upon him and gave false name.
After he had been locked up, some of his
friends, from the quarry, surrounded the
bridewell, as though accommodating pre-
paratory to an attempt at rescue, and thy
were then apprehended, their names being
given above. They all had loaded revol-
vers in their possession. At the hearing
before the magistrates Major Creig, Head
constable of Liverpool, aud Superintendent
Ride of the same force, identified some of
the prisoners as notorious Fenians. On the
application of their advocate they were re-
manded for seven days.
Comfound their Tory Tricks Rich in
strategy and interruptions RS to means, the
Tories have never hesitated to carry their
Guvres alike reprehensible and con-
temptible. Their last effort in this line is
simple and unique, and plausible. A me-
mortal to Government on several subjects,
and requesting the writ for Dublin to be
issued forth with, lies for signature in the
Commercial Buildings. At first sight the
affair appears legitimate enough, and per-
fectly harmless; but examined it reveals q
Tory trick of the first magnitude. Fearing
the forthcoming report of the Freemen
Commission will deal with that precious
franchise as it merits, the Tories have sud
denly become most solicitous for the Par
liamentary representation of the metropolis,
and they, inhocently, seek to. induce the
Government to issue the writ while the re-
doubtable freemen are still in existence.
TO certain extent the dodge has been sue
cessfnl, inasmuch as several Liberals have
signed it. 1t is time, therefore
that the Z" trick" should be exposed, and
the Liberals cautioned against this little
bit of pettyfoggery.
Great Meeting in Dublin-Speeeh of Mr..
Butt.-Probably one of the largest demon
strations that has taken place in Dublin
for many years (says the Irish Ifmes) was
that which was organized on Friday night
in the Mechanics Institute, and was carried
out on Sunday. Not less than 10000
people assembled on Harold's Cross Green,
to testify their sympathy with the family
OF the late Mr.. George Henry Moore, Mp.
for the irreparable loss which they, in COM
mon with the country, have sustained by
the sudden demise of so distinguished an
lrishman. The whole of the Green was
peopled, and as far as the eye could wan
der, from the waggonettes from which the
speakers delivered their addresses, nothing
could be seen but one dark mass of human
beings, anxiously pressing forward to evil
dence by their presence the sorrow which
was universal. The bands of several trades
attended, and during the day played the
Dead March and some national airs. Their
bannerettes were also displayed, draped
with Grape. The entire proceedings were
characterized by the utmost order and de-
corum.
Another Orange DisplayAOn Monday
night serious approximations were enter
tanned of a collision at Newtonards, owing
to rampant spirit of Orangeism in that
town, and the local authorities very wisely
proelded beforehand the means of quelling
any disturbance that might arise, by draft
ing into the town considerable force of
military and police, but fortunately their
services were not required. 1t appears
that on the day in question n band belong
ing to the Catholics of the town had gone
in the morning to Downpatrick to be
the Memorial Catholic Cathedral intended
