THE FENIANS ARMING. The Discovery of Amm The Fenians are evidently preparing for war while they are quarreiing, and the vague re- ports, so frequently circulated, that they are making purchases of arms, has at last a foun- dation. bt &ppears that the Fenians purchase secretly, and carry their ammunition about in the night, which accounts for the privacy of tneir movements. The contributions to the cause are more Lib- era) pow than they ever have been before, and both the O’Maboney party and the Roberts par- ty having pledged themselves to make a “dem- onstration” on England, are exerting them- selves, it is supposed, with great energy. The following account of the discovery of a Fenian with ammunition, this morning, has been obtained from police headquarters: At about two o'clock this morning Officer (YConnor, of the tenth precinct, saw a man driving a team of horses with a wagon through Grand street. There were six large dry goods boxes on the wagon. The officer thought the Actions of the man suspicious; he, accordingly, questioned him apd received contradictory an- swers. The man was therefore arrested and taken to the station house, Where he gave the name of Dennis O Sullivan. After equiyocating for a considerable time, O'Sullivan said that the goods in his possession were mili nip- mente snd ammunition belonging to the Feni- ans, and that he was taking them down wwn, “according to orders.” Mr. O'Sullivan was detained at the station until nine o'clock this morning, when he was sent before Superintendent Kennedy. That gentleman gaye the unlucky Fenian one of his characteristic lectures, and sent him before Justice ley. In the meantime, Captain Davis, of the 16th precinct, received a letter from Colonel John O'Mahoney, “Head Centre” of the Fenians, stating that the ammunition and equipments belonged tobim. This letter being shown to Justice Shandley, the i d Geaiives, and the ammanition was given inte hi | ed Magistate had no jurisdiction.—N.
