THE FENIAN RISINGS. CHESTER.

On Monday, 11th February, Cheater waa the seen* of s> Fenian demonatration of a novel and alarming character. It appears that the Fenians in Atnerioa have recently organised in New York a band of fifty, whom they nave sent to England on the special minion of endeavouring to resusoitate the dying Brotherhood. Fifteen of them are stationed in London, where they form » Directory. Eight of them are ex-officers of the American army. There are also similar Directories at Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, and Birmingham. For some time past these Directories have been making arrangements to concentrate their forces upon some place which was to have been named on Friday last. Thia was not done, bnt a meeting was held at Liverpool on Sunday, when it was resolved to attack Chester Castle on the following day, seize the arms deposited there, out the telegraph wires, tear up the rails, and make good their esoape by rail to Holyhead, where two steamers were to be waiting to take them across to Ireland, What arrangements were to be made for their reception in Ireland has not transpired. It wa* also understood that they would attack the banks and jewellers' shops. It was stated that Chester Castle had been selected because up to midnight on Sunday Chester was protected by not more than half a dozen soldiers on guard at the Castle, and twice as many unarmed policemeninthe city. Under their protection were no Jess than 9,000 stand of arms (a few weeks ago there 30.000, but the bulk have been removed for conversion into breach-loaders), 4,000 swords, and 900,000 rounds of ammunition, in addition to powder in bulk. There were also Stored in another part of the castle 900 stand of arms belonging to the militia ; and in a small buildin? in the city were 200fctand of arms belonging to the volunteers. It was stated that the whole force stationed at the castle was one company of the 64th Regiment,|and that they were disaffected. It was stated in proof of this that they admitted Fenian officers, showed themlthrough the barracks, the armoury, and, in fact, permitted them to ac quaint themselves thoroughly with the place. The first intimation received in Chester of the intended raid was at half-past 12 a.m. on Monday by the chief constable, Mr. Fenwick, from the head of the Liverpool police, and was to the effect that an exofficer of the American army, who produced his commission as an officer in the Fenian service, had revealed the whole plot to them. Prompt measures were immediately taken by the mayor and chief conItable, and the commandant of the detachment at the castle^ telegraphed to the Auistant-Adjufent-Sneral at Manchester for a reinforcement They next went to the station and gave instructions for the trains to be watched as they arrived. At half • past 2 a batch of thirty young men arrived from Liverpool, and were evidently under the command of an officer. They marched up and down the platform by twos and threes, and at length took posses■ion of the first-class refreshment-room. They were ■oon followed by farther detachments of from thirty to sixty from Liverpool »nd some from Manchester, all of similar appearance. These dispersed quietly into the town. Early in the morning the volunteers were called out, but «s there was some doubt whether they could act except in case of invasion, a telegram was sent to Mr. W*lpole, and his answer was that volunteers ought not to be employed in their military capacity in quelling disturbances, but in point of l*w they would be justified in acting as individuals in aid of the civil power, and in a serious emergency they might us» their arms if necessary. The volunteers were thereupon sworn in as special constables. By the assistance of the police at Liverpool and Manchester, th« Chester police were kept apprised of the different departures of suspected bodies of men. At three o'clock it was ascertained that over 500 of these men had arrived. About the *«me time it was ascertained that a number of their officers had been in Chester over night. Early in the afternoon the strangers became much bolder, and assembled in threatening bodies. At this time a company of the 54th Kegim«nfc arrived from Manchester, and the police are inclined to think that this fact saved the Castle from an attaok early in the evening. Affairs went very quietly up to 4 o'clock, when a train from Manchester and Staleybridge brought a reinforcement of 400 in one batch. Later on 40 men arrived from Halifax, [and 70 from Leeds. Shortly after 5 it was ascertained that the Fenians numbered from 1,400 to 1,600. A number of men who were supposed to be their leaders collected at a house where the police had been informed they would meet for orders. Spies and scouts had been sent out among the Fenians early in the day, but found them extremely reticent and could get no clue from them. At 6 p.m. these icouts brought information that the men were forming in column on the Liverpool and other principal roads. Captain Smith, the county chief constable, had draughted a body of the connty constabulary into the Castle to assist the military, and telegrams were forwarded from time to time to the Secretary of State. At night the Mayor convened* public meeting, at which more than fifty citizens were •worn in as special constables, and paraded the town in large bodies throughout the night, eight of the magistrates remaining in constant attendance for the purpose of swearing in special constables, and for advising on the action to be taken. It was deemed desirable to call out the yeomanry, and for that purpose the permission of Lord Grosvenor and Lord d« Tablty was telegraphed for. Lord Grosvenor replied that he would come down by the night mail, and accordingly he and Lord Richard Grosvenor arrived in Chester at 12.48 on Tuesday morning, and remained with the magistrates through the night. Before leaving London Lord Grosvenor communicated with the Commander-in-Chief , who at once telegraphed that he had ordered a Battalion of Guards by special trait to Chester. During the night the Fenians evidently «aote to the conclusion that the preparations were too much tor them, and as the night advanced parties of tens jed twenties were seen leaving on foot for Warrington *ad other neighbouring towns. Although all danger of any «ri»us attempt had died away after the town's meeting, ,Ifce police were kept on duty, as many suspicious characters were still to be seen in the streets. About 9 o'clock oa Tuesday morning two haversacks with green hands and * quantity of ball cartridges and revolver buUeta of private manufacture were discovered on a piece of vacant land close to the railway station; andaquantity of packages, some containing ball cartridges and others percussion caps, havesince beenfoundintheriveroppo■ite the waterworks. In the course of Tuesday morning three or four suspicions-looking men were arrested in the station yard, and, being unable to gire any satisfactory account of themselves, were sent back to Manchester, whence they said they bad come. After this all was quiet, except the assemblage .of a large crowd in the station-yard, until a quarter to Jl •'clock, when a special traiD, conveying the Ist Battalion of the Scota' Fusilier Guards, drew up ; and as they formed on the platform— soo strong— they were received by the inhabitants with a cheer ??hich showed how much their aaxieties were removed uj* their arrival. They were divided into two detachments, one of which was accommodated at the refreshment-room of the Railway Hotel, and the other at the Assembly Rooms, until arrangements could be made for quartering them.- In the afternoon the city magistrates held a meeting at the Grosvenor Hotel, the Mayor presiding. Much satisfaction at the prompt arrival of the Guards was expressed, and it was thought that their presence afforded the city ample security without the necessity for swearing in more special constables. i

LIVERPOOL. Sixty-seven men. supposed to be Fenians, were arrested on board the steamers which arrived at 7 o'clock from Holyhead and Liverpool. They are ■aid to have been part of the body of men who entered Cheater on the previous day. The majority of them belonged to the working classes, but were unable to give a latiifaotory account of themselves. No firearms were found in their possession, but the police, of whom 200 effected the arrests, picked up several revolvers on board the steamers, and others are supposed to have been thrown overboard. The majority of the prisoners appeared to be of the very lowest class of Irish, but some few were respectably dressed, and two or three were Americans. Their object is supposed to have been to create a disturbance in the Commission Court, where the Fenian prisoners were expected to be brought up during the day. The arrests were made without any resistance. In the evening, three other men, supposed to be Fenians, were arrested on board the steamer which arrived at night from Liverpool. In consequence of telegrams subsequently received from Liverpool, several hundred police, armed with swords and revolvers, went to meet the steamers, which arrived at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, and arrested 32 persons suspected of Fenianism. No arms were found. On Thursday 12 persons coming from Liverpool were arrested.

FENIAN INSURRECTION IN IRELAND. At Uab something like a rising seems to have taken place in the touth-wert of Ireland. The " Kingdom of Keny" has been ohoien by the Fenian leaders as the acen6 of their first Attempt at inianection. la

some^ respects it canuot be denied that the ground is well aeleoted ; for there is no part of Ireland which offers greater natural difficulties to troops engaged in quelling an insurrection, and there is no district which affords greater facilities for the movement of rebels. In 1768, the bogs of Ulster were chosen as the opening scene of the then bloody drama; in 1848, the cabbage gardens of Tipperary for the ridiouloin fiasco ; in 1867, the fastnesiesof the for southwest. The rising appears to be at present confined to the peninsula lying between Eenmare river and bay and Dingle Bay. It does not as yet extend into Cork on one side or Limerick on the other. This peninsula is about 28 miles wide at its broadest part, and about 88 miles long at its greatest length. From Killarney at one end to Yalentia at the other, and from Eenmare to the town of Killorglin, this peninsula contains hardly anything but high mountains and abrupt valleys. Of the mountains, Macgilliouddy's Reeks are the highest ; but to the west of these are many ridges exceeding 2.000 feet in height. It is not, however, so much the height, as the continuous nature of these mountain chains which renders the country favourable to the action of brigand insurgents, and unfavourable to troops. The roads are very bad in comparison with those of the rest of Ireland; but though few in number they are fairly adapted for the passage of troops. The difficulty of bringing troops to bear is, | however, increased by the almost entire absence of railways, which run on one side only to Dunmanaway, in the county of Cork, by the nearest road thirty miles from Kenmare ; and on the other only to Killarney, thirty-eight miles from Cahirciveen, which appears to have been a central part of the movement. The cause of the outbreak appears to have been the arrest of a Captain Moriarty, an Irish-American officer of high rank in the brotherhood. On February 12th the authorities in Tralee received information, from a reliable source, that the captain was to visit several places in the county in which the chiefs of the organisation were located, with despatches from General O'Connor, the Military Centre/ who commands in that county, warning them to prepare for an immediate rising, which probably wasf to have taken place simultaneously with the movement in Chester and Dublin projected by the fV Feniaus in England. The captain, with two of /his subordinates, was arrested in Killarney on the above evening, and was sent under a strong escort to Tralee. Concealed on his person were found the despatches signed by General O'Connor, of which information had been given. As there seemed to be danger of a disturbance of the peace occurring, a mounted constable was sent from Killarney to Killorglin, with orders for the police at that station ; and thence he was sent on to Cahirciveen. Between Killorglin and Cahiroiveen this man wa* met by a party of Fenians, shot, and his despatoh-box rifled ; he was not, however, fatally wounded. Intelligence of the arrest of Moriarty appears to have spread rapidly over the country, for on the same night a parly of young men, Variously estimated at from 200 to 400, left the neighbourhood of Cahirciveen, and, having destroyed the telegraph posts and wires in the neighbourhood, marched in a body in the direction of Killarney. Their object was supposed to be to rescue Captain Moriarty, whom they believed to be still in that town. On the road between Cahircireen and Killarney is the police-station of Kells, upon which an attack was made ; the police were overpowered, and the arms and ammunition taken atray. A portion of the attacking party was said to have been provided with firearms; the remainder were armed with pikes. A coastguard station in the same locality was also atcacked and rifled, but the partioulars of the outrage are not yet known. At one place a man in the employment of the Magnetic Telegraph Company, endeavouring to repair the broken wires, was surrounded by a number of men, detached from a body of at least 200 who appeared iv the vicinity, whose leader commanded him, on pain of death, to desist. The workman, of course, yielded to compulsion ; but in a short time the insurgents moved off in an easterly direction, and he then completed his work, and was instrumental in sending the firet telegram to Dublin announcing the danger. . The Government had thought it necessary, it is believed, to interpose to prevent at the outset the publication of telegrams which might have interfered with the military operations. It was judged necessary, upon the night of the 13th, to despatch reinforcements to some of the southern garrisons, and in particular to send troops from Cork to the disturbed districts of the oounty of Kerry. What exactly had been done up to that time the authorities were probably not fully aware of ; but they acted on the pressing demand of the magistrates of the county, who had been sitting throughout the afternoon discussing the state of affairs. It was necessary to occupy Mallow Junction station as a point of importance, and Sir A. Horsford and 1,000 men had been brought to that place by 2 o'clock, on the 14th. The excitement in Dublin towards the close of that day w«s considerable, and the idea prevailed that the rioters who had assailed the coastguard station could hardly be the country people, but must be invaders who had landed at some remoce point on the West Coast. Others found in their speculations a connection between the disturbances in Kerry and the attempted raid on Chester, and regarded both as the commencement of a possibly formidable plan . It appears that a body of at least 300 men, more or less .completely armed, have been in possession of that part" of the country between Killarney and Cahirciveen since Sunday, February 10. They succeeded in preventing any information of their proceedings being conveyed by messengers, and tore down the telegraph wires at four or five places. Detachments of troops had been sent on cars to different points at which they were likelytoencouterthem. It is notyet known how the patriots have bsen received by the humbler classes of the country people ; but all the gentry, or those who have anything to lose, left their homes and sought more secure retreats. The Killarney Hotel, which was guarded by police, was crowded from roof to cellar with refugees. The children of Lord Caatlerosse were hurriedly sens up to Dublin, and forwarded to England by the maU-boat. Mr. Herbert, M.P. for Kewy, had rs, moved bis family. Lord Castlerosse's agent had armed about 100 of his tenantry, for the purpose of aiding the authorities. Three express trains were despatched from the Kingabridge terminus on 14th February, conveying troops to the Mallow Junction. The strictest precautions were used in Dublin at all military stations, and nearly all the soldiers slept fully accoutred all night, bo as to be in instant readines£ for action. Ji telegram forwarded from Dublin on the forenoon of Friday, February J5, states that a search was made the previous eyening at Malahide, about 14 miles from Dublin, for Stephens, who was said to have effected his landing at a place called Kella, by military sent there specially. The same telegram adds :— " The telegraph wires communioabmg with the Atlantic cable were cut in five places, but are now repairtd. The workmen saw hundreds of armed men about. There are now almost no military at the Curragh. They are all gone to Kerry. Brigadier Hqrafotd, in command at Killarney, has told off bottieg of military for night duty on the Tonnes Mountain. "T^e n«,ing is declared to be totally abortive. Parties otarrfled men, footsore, hungry, »nd exhausted, are wandering about the Lake dis- , •<* in Killarney. The telegraph wires' on the lv i J *o»d were again cut last night ,• and * s vaientia - „ could be made the wires were cut rapidly as rep*.. ag A in *l *, ***«. -«hf; of February 15, Another telegram, dated the ii. o ** *he telegrams says :— " The rising ia at an end. An „.. fhe from Kerry state that it has failed miserably, principal part of the insurgents, who were never more than several hundreds strong, were, by the last accounts, hidden in Toumie Wood, which was surrounded by the military, who w«re supplied with food from Killariey, while the fugitives were starving. About fifty escaped out of the wood. The peasantry all through refused in any numbers to join the insurgents, who were dressed in green coata and Yankee boots, and are believed to be strangers. The insurgents are certainly next to unarmed."

A Dublin despatch of Sunday night, February 17, states : — "Telegrams from Killarney this day state that Kerry is quiet, and that none of the Fenian fugitives have been arrested. It it said that O'Connor and his staff have made their escape to » vessel which was seen lying off Dingle Bay, and is supposed to be a Fenian cruiser. The peasantry leem afraid of the insurgents, and the troops who formed the searching parties have found great difficulty in obtainingfoodor information. Captain Bowles, of the 60th Bines, and about 30 volunteers, consisting of soldiers and constables, hare performed the perilous duty of searching the Black Valley by night, but without success. A few insurgents are supposed to be concealed in the demesne of the Macgillicuddy, and to have failed in escaping across the River Laune, which is greatly flooded. Thirty -four persons were arrested this morning in Dublin on the arrival of the Holyhead and Liverpool steamers, but only five hare been detained. The Roman Catholic Bishop, Dr. Moriarty, denounced Fenianiam to-day, and pr*i«ed the people for not joining the movement. While he was speaking several young men left the church. The country is tranquil. Subsequent telegrams from Killarney announce that the town w« perfectly quiet, and that then

was no news- The troops are still scouring the country in search of the scattered fugitive Fenians. The county of Kerry has been "proclaimed ;» a reward of £500 his been offered for the arrest of the person or persons who wounded constable Duggan, 2nd a reward of £250 for the arrest of J. J. O'Connor, who acted « commander of the larney, Killorglin, and Cahiroiveen. A reward of £250 Si offered for the apprehension of any one of the men who surrounded and entered the coastguard station at Kells, and chaUenged T. Pjerce to Smender to the Irish Republic on the 13th of Fe The*S'surgents went to the house of a Dr. Barry, near Cahirciveen, and toot away a splendid horse for some one W had called •• the colonel.'; In the portmanteau of a person arrested in Limerick on February 14th, a six-barrelled , revolver. • sash, and a military cap were found, and documents of importance. He was en route iorKttty. Twelve arrests were made on the 15th, and twentytwo in Dublin. Murphy, the head centre for Limerick, with two American colonels, were also arrested. At an early hour on the morning of F^bruary^ 12 , no lesß than seventy persons were arrested in Dubhn on board the 'Alexandra,' from Holyhead, and the ' St. Columbia,' from Liverpool, as part of a Fenian army of invasion. The first intimation of the danger the public had was from the appearance of a body of police drawn up on the quay at the North Wall, armed with cutlassei. This wat the result of telegrams received during the night about the movements at|Chester. It was stated that when the Fenians found they could do nothing there they pushed on for Birkenhead and Liverpool, intending to come to Dublin. When the • Alexandra' came alongside, soon after 7 o'clock a.m., thirty-one persons were arrested, ohiefly young men. The steamer was a considerable time swinging round, and during that time the supposed Fenians were grouped together, apparently in earnest consultation. Of course they had seen the police with their cutlasses, and they took the hint, and it is said they threw their revolvers and ammunition into the river. When arrested they had no weapons, no docnment, nothing to criminate them, and they pleaded the Habeu Corpus Act, which they said was in force again. It is said that some of them are Americans. None of the:n gave a satisfactory account of themselves. They said they belonged to the following classes :— Dock labourers, discharged soldiers, bakers, tailors, millowners, &c, and they came from Liverpool, Bolton, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Birkenhead. Later in the morning the 'Columbia' arrived from Liverpool with about an equal number ol suspected characters on board, and they were arrested under similar circumstances. The prisoners were first conveyed to Sackville-place-station, and then lodged in Richmond Bridewell— 67 together. Three loaded revolvers were found in the first steamer, bidden nnder ropes where the prisoners had been standing. It is said that the bed of the river will be dragged in the hope of finding the revolvers. . On the morning of the 13th, thirty-seven of the passengers by the Holyhead and Liverpool boat! were arrested also in Dublin on the arrival of those vessels at the quay. None of them had arms, and they were principally from Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, and other English towns. The Freemaria Journal says i — " It would be hard to bring together a more daring and reckless-looking lot of men than the prisoners. Some of them bad been in the late American war, other* were discharged soldiers, but the majority stated that they had been operative tradesmen, mill workers, and dock labourers. A few of them had money, but by far the greater number had none ; but there appears to be no doubt if they had succeeded it escaping the vigilance of the police they would have had all their wants supplied by persons in the citj on whom the detectives are keeping a close watch, Orders hare been issued by .the Government to th< constabulary stationed at all the seaports in the king dom to exercise a strict watch on all in-coming steamers from America and from ' across Channel, and to arrest all suspected persons who cannot give satisfactory accounts of themselves and their move ments. A few of the persons who had been arrestec at the North- wall this morning were released fron custody on proving to the police that they hao •legitimate business in this country."' The prisoners were removed to Richmond Bridewell, The reason generally asssigned by the prisoner! for visiting Dublin in such numbers just now is thai they were seeking employment, but it is statec that many of them are known to ha/c given uj employment with ss. or 6s. a day before leaving England. Some who were able to give a satisfactory account of themselves were discharged ; 22 were de tamed in custody. A watch is still kept on the qua] by the police for any further arrivals of suspicion characters. At Drogheda the same morning a bodj of 35 police boarded the 'Colleen Bawn,' and arrestec five men, who, like those arrested in Dublin, ap peared to be labourers and mechanics. Two wen discharged by the magistrates. The steamers arriving from England at Belfast have been searched it the same way for Fenians, but no arrests have beei made. At first people were disposed to think "th< movement on Chester " a hoax, or merely som< tentative manoeuvre to try what the effect would bi of a real rising ; but there seems to be now no rooir to doubt that mischief was intended, and that thii affair is another abortion of the Fenian conspiracy. Accounts from Cork on February 17 stated thai each day the estimates of the Fenian force continue to fall. At first it was estimated at 1,500, then ai 500, then at 150, and afterwards still lower, whilsi no reliable evidence was obtained that a single Fenian ia arm§ had been seen anywhere except on the occa' sion when' jphe policeman was shot at and wounded, Further arrests under thp Habeas Corpus Suspension Act have taken place inLimeripk, proghedt, Dun dalk, and Cavan. In Limerick, John* Hesly and, John Lunes were arrested, supposed to be Americai colonels ; and John Murphy, a head-centre, ant O'Donovan, who had been liberated a year ago fron Mountjoy prison, and sent back to America, whence he had recently returned, wer« also arrested. In th< hotel where O'Donovan stopped his trunk wai searched, and a loaded six-barrelled reyolver, s sword, sash, a military cap, and a drill-book wer< found in it. The news received in London on February 22nc showed that all danger was declared by the local authorities to be at an end, and that General Horsford and staff had left their head-quarters a the railway for Kenmare, Screen, Valentia, am Cahirciveen, on a tour of inspection, a sure sigi that they believe all is over. They have since re turned. The wounded policeman Duggan is not yel pronounced out of danger, but he has rallied con aiderably. A party of troops and constabulary went oi February 26th in search of arms or rebels to Glen fiesk. In this gleams a spot known as Filedown, oi Bobber's Cliff, fe >rid a cave called Leaby Owen, oi Owen's Bed, which wjUs6ld 60 men with ease, Th< place is extremely difficult of accesg, "and the situation most romantic. Nothing was found except 2fc< dead body of a supposed Fenian, thought to have perished from exhaustion. A telegram, dated Killarney, February 24, states that an unsuccessful search for arms was made thai day in the town and in various farm-houses in the neighbourhood.

1 " *A. KOMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP ON * '' ' * FENfANISM. A discourse of Moriarfcyip the cathedral oi KUlamey, o» Sunday, February 17, has wheeled general attention from the vigour with whjch h<p de the brotherhood aud all who have joined it. Do^. -'»t.ion was rendered more emphatic by tb? The denum*_ *•*"» of the younger members of circumstance that so^ " " * h * chapel during to the congregation rose and leiu . "* *>asiages oi delivery. The following are the closing r " * this remarkable address. Having praised the peopiv of Killarney for generally holding aloof from the conspiracy, Dr.Moriwtyaaid:— "Notwithstandingyour | good conduct, there is that of which you hare reason to be ashamed. There is an absence of manly, outspoken, public spirit among you. You hate outrage and disorder, but you do not show yourselves like men on the side of law and order. You need not make Fenians afraid of you. You seem to halt between two sides, as if you were afraid of them. Why is it that the authorities and thee gentry do not trust you with arms on auch occasions? I know every decent man would use them. But this is not enough. The world should be convinced that such is your temper and spirit. You are afraid of Fenians. All this must change, and you must so think, and speak, and act, that every evil doer will be afraid of you. Now, let me give you a few words of advice of a purely business kind. I jtm told some people are fools enough to take their money out of the bank, as if it could be safe in their pockets. You may say that the bank will be attacked in case of an insurrection. Well, what of that ? Don't you know that the money you lodge in the bank to-day is in London by to-morrow's post, inasmuch as the head office there becomes debtor to you for the amount ? Put back your money into the bank. If I had £100,000 I would place it there. Another advice I give you— keep in your houses at night, and send this advice all over the west of the county. The military must be sent in search of the fugitives. Now, if any poor p«aunts were to foolish m to leave their

hornet through fright they would necessarily be inspected of complicity in Fenianism. The soldiers will not hurt you unless theyfindyou in arms against the Queen. One word against the prime movers of this mischief. If we must condemn the foolish youths wno have joined in this conspiracy, how muoh must we not execrate theconductofthosedesigningvUlainswhohave been entrapping innocent youth, and organising thu work of ciime 1 Thank God they are not our people, or, if they were, they have lost the Irish character in the cities of America. But beyond them there are criminals of a far deeper guilt — the men who, while they tend their dupes into danger, are fattening on the spoil in Paris and New "York— the execrable swindlers, who care not to endanger the necks of the men who trust them, who care not how many are murdered by the rebel or hanged by the strong arm of the law, provided they can get a supply of dollars either for their pleasures or for their wants. Oh, God's heaviest curee — His withering, blasting, blighting curse is on them. I preached to you last Sunday on the eternity of hell's torments. Human reason was inclined to say, •It is a hard word, and iwho can bear it?' But when we look down into the fathomless depth of this infamy of the heads of the Fenian conspiracy, we must acknowledge that eternity is not long enough nor hell not enough to punish such miscreant i."
