ARRESTED BY FENIANS.
[REUTER—COPYRIGHT.-) LONDON, April 18. Some days ago a clerk named Grey employed in the central Telegraphic office at Dublin suddenly disappeared, and no clue to his whereabouts was found until yesterday. It appears that he was seized by a body of Fenians, and conveyed to a place of confinement, where he was kept close prisoner for four days. During this period he was constantly questioned by the Fenians regarding the nature of the messages which were transmitted through the telegraph office. It is evident that his captors thought Grey was the confidential clerk to whom was entrusted the duty of transmitting messages in connection with the Irish outrages, and that consequently he possessed means of affording them valuable information.
