A mounted policeman conveying her Majesty’s mall despatches from Killorglin to Cahirciveom, in Kerry, was sbot in the side by a party supposed to be Fenians yestorday evening. The telegraph wires running from Valentia in conuec- tion with the Atlantic cable have been severed in several places, and up to the prosent there is no tole- graphic communication with Valentia, So great is the apprehension of outbreak and outrage that the police force has been withdrawn from the coun- try stations and concentrated in the larger towns It is unreliably reported here that tho telegraph lines- men sent out to repair the damage to tho wires had been attacked and driven from their work, and that upwards of one hundred and ifty armed men were seen marching towards Killarney last evening. * . Astrong detachment of the Sixtieth regiment, Rifle Brigade, left Cork on yesterday evening, the 13th inst., by special train for Killarney and Tralee, Three persons, one of whom is Captain Moriarty, have been arrested in Killarney for Fenianism. Her Majesty's paddle steamer war sloop Gladiator, from Valentia, has received orders to cruise between 12 and 13 west to latitude 49 north, to look after the steamship Bavaria; but it is probable that the orders will be cancelled, as her presence at Valentia wiil be necessary to assist in restoring quietness to that now disturbed locality. Yesterday three young men, who had been confined im Mountjoy prison for alleged Fenianism, sailed from Queenstown by the steamship Tarifa for New York. ‘One of them is a brother of James O'Connor, late book- keeper at tne Jrish People office and now a convict at Pentonville prison.

Aceordingly the quietness which prevailed here has been most unexpectedly broken by an attempt to stimulate @ ‘rising.’ While engaged in the cnjoy- ment of viceregal festivities on Monday evening, the castle officials were startled by the avnouncemont that the city of Chester, England, was in the hands of the Fenians, who had possessed themselves of the castle, the arms and amunition store, and that a large body had taken steamers for Dublin, determined to fight and reseue the prisoners committed for trial. Prompt measures were taken to mect th» danger thus threatened. The telegraph flashed warning to outlying districts, and the city garrison’ was put under arms at once. and iong before “the early morn” the force of city police | were marched to the steam landing wharf. As the Liverpool and Holyhead boats steamed to thetr berths, the first streaks of dawn lighted a scent worthy of being depicted. : The decks of the steamers were covered by the Fe- nian party, grouped in knots, earnestly discarsing their plane. All wer@animated, not expecting the reosption prepared for them, Some of them were fine looking mon, with bromzed countenances and@ militery appear- ance, thought to be Américaus; othors wore scemingly ferta laborers and operatives; every variety of cestume, from the snblime to the ridiculous, Some cartied small undies, others flerve looking revolvers, amd many grasped the national weapon—a stout sbillelah. As #008 as the steamers reached the quay side the pdwe boasded them and seized or surrounéed the vis- itaps, Not the slightest attempt at resistance was made. Revolvers wete dropped into the rives, and the whole company, amounting to sixty-seven, were quiatly marohed to the Gity Bridewell, attended by two hun- dred constables. Thus was nipped this great demonsira- on. Some of fhe prisoners have been since examined be- fore the magistrates, They made various and wild ex. cuses, deaying their connection with Feaiantsm, bet only three have been sect at liberty; the remainder are taagements to concentrate their forces, A mesting. was called for Sunday inst at Liverpool, and it was thore re- Solved to attack Chester Castle the following @ay, the ere : : Z ce if HA 2.8 li bt tril ie seven, who , HOF weg crete rod ‘gnerant fiat { asda TY ok wen tne old Afew agent that thoy were ‘end that | they camo — aS = s bave ‘dried possesston of the ueqreen are to Dublin of the @ large force is them vv te tee eee goers aes aenay bul by tae a cheat a Ukely to be the greater naraber i bat tere neuen be e failed | no fount 1 they pot pee A peceie’ rifiod by Poona me the part Of the Irish | of the police thoy would hava all tholr wanta supplied by at homet ry Tegalt of the | pereons in tho vity on whom the detectives are keeping a pawt your's promises, and will Ss eae tee clear Watch. up to the boiling Orders bavo been aaa to get their feolings egaa pointe ‘twelve a the prisoners lately come drained this day.

The First Arrests fu Dublin—Names of the Men in the Fenian Detachments—Great Ex- citement in the City, {Dublin (Feb, 12—Kvening) correspondence of Cork Herald.} Great excitement has been created in the city, accom- Panied by no small amount of alarm among the more ‘mid portion of the community, at the rumor, s0 widely Spread and so generally concurred in, that the Fenian conspiracy 1s agaip iu our midst, and that both in Eng- land and this country the most strenuous efforts on the part of the executive government wil! be required for its suppression, This lief acquired increased intensity from the fact that on the arrival of the Liverpool and Holyhead steamers at the North Wall this day, a large party of police proceeded on board the veesels and ar- Tested no leas than sixty-seven persons. The conveyance of this large body of supposed Fentans to the police station produced an extreord!nary amount of excitement in the city, and combined with the alarm- ing intelligence from Chester to strengthen the belief in the public mind that this formidable conspiracy Is likely to cause fresh trouble to the authorities, The names of the steamers on which the arrests were made are the Alexandra and the Columba. It is believ- ed that the police received information from some source in England Inst night that tho suspected parties were on board. Be that as it may, the moment tie steamers made their appearance in the bay Fe wero met bya large force of the police of the © division, under the command of Superintendent Corr and Inspector Devin. Each constabie was armed with a cutlass as they stood drawn up at the points where the steamers were to come alongside, Tbe Alexandra, trom Holyhead, arrived at a quarter past seven o'clock with # large number of deck passengers ov board. Amongst these were to be seen about thirty men who stood close together forward, and who appeal. to be thoroughly acquainted, as they con- versed in groups as the vessel's bead was being swung round. This eperation prevented the constables going on board at onc@, and the persons on whom the atten- tion of the police was direcied were seen to collect at the starboard or outer side of the ship for the purpose, it $s alleged, of throwing revolvers and ammaniticn over- board. The supposition was subsequently strengthened by the discovery of three large seven chamber loaded re- volvers hidden under a coil of cable near where they were standing, ‘Ata late hour last night telegrams were roceived by the goverument stating that a large number of the mon who had collected yesterday in Chester had pushed on to Liverpoo! and Holyhead to take steamer for Dublin, and that a great many Irish operatives and laborers were collecting in Liverpool and Birkenhoad for apparently no good purpose. It was also telegraphed that a special train was in readiness at Euston square station of the London Northwestegn Railway to convey the Scots Fusl- lier Guards to Chester, and that arrangemeats bad been made to rip up portions of the rails on the line between Birkenbead and Chester, in case any attempt should be made by disafiected persons to join the crowds that had collected iu Chester. In consequence of this informa- tion the police received strict orders to keep a vigilant lookout, and to arrest all suspicious looking persons who would arrive by steamers from across the Channel, and in accordance wil these orders a large body of the police of the C division remained on duty at the North wall ail last night. When the Alexandra came alongside the police wont on board and ar- rested thirty-one persons, principally young men belonging to the working classes, and a few who had recently returned from America, The were sent off to Sackville placo station under a strong escort, aad they bad scarcely gone when the St. Columba steamed up the river from Liverpool, at a quar- ter to eight o'clock. A group of men similar in charac- tor and of the same class a8 those who came by the other vessel were observed on the fore deck, and when they saw the police ashore tt is said they made good use of ihe time which was spent in swinging the vessel, which, at the best, is a very slow proceeding. Thirty- six persons were taken into custody, and were sont to join the first baicl at Sackville place station house. 4 ‘more desperate and reckless Woking class of young men could scarceiy be seen. They were very shabvily though warmly clothed, and strange to say, with very fow ex- ceptions, none of them had money or any documents, or othes matter that could be used againet them. Some of them stated that they were dcck laborers, discharged soldiers, bakers, tailors, mill workers, aud several said that they had come trom America to see their friends. They gave their names as Timothy Mabony, Coaries Smith, Patrick Budds, Daniel Corbett, Francis Kearns, Michal Lynch, Thomas’ Fiannely, Bernard John Geoghegan, Jonn McHale, John Tray Morris, Thomas Egan, Michael’ smith, Thos.

Lymer, Bernard Egan, Thomas Archer, Thomas Waldron and Francis hog oh The localities the majority of mm came from were Liverpool, Bolton, Manchester, Lecda Birkenhead aed Sheffield. On being questioned in the station, stwo or three of them who assumed the position of spokesmen for the rest, said that the police had no eight to interfere with their liberty, as they were given to understand that the suspension of the habeas corpus act had beon discontinued. The answers generally given to the questions put to them were very up: ry, and the police have no doubt that the object these men had in coming here tn large numbers wag for axgression. Arrangements are being made to have the-river dragged for the revolvers supposed to have been thrown overboard from the Bieamers; and asthe cells of the stations are full, the isopers wit! be as once transmitted to Richmond ridewell. In consequence of farther information received large detachments of the police are stationed on Northwaii to watch all steamers inward bound Up to five o’ciock this evening a vassel from Liverpool was expected to ar- rive with a large pumber of sus) Persons on board; Dut up to the time | write she did not heave in sight."

Twenty-fodf of (be prisoners arrested this rwrning on auspicton of having been connected with the Fenian conaplracy were conveyed in the prison ya to Rich- mond Bridewell, where they wif be confinéd for tue present. A number of surmises have been set alloat as to the real motive the men arrested on this and yester- day morning bad in coming here in such large numbers. The reason they assigned themselves a U at they had come to look for employment, although it is known that many of them had given up five and six shillings a day before feaving for this country. This \ooks most myste- rious, and is calculated to lead to the belief that the misguided men had come here for aggression. ‘Ihe police are stationed along the Northwall, and will not be relieved from duty until tommorrow morning, after the Liverpool steamers arrive, Marching from Chester. Cugster, Feb, 12—Noon. Large numbers of the supposed Fenians left for War- Tington and other towns during the night, but there are still many suspicious strangers remaining here. There ig no doubt that mischief was intended. The ‘irst in- formation was given in Liverpool by a man holding a Fenian commission, and closely coincided with what actually occurred. Tho strangers¢ appesred weld officered and under com- pleie control. They arrived principally by the Liverpool ‘and Manchester lines. ‘Two bavoreacks and a quantity of cartridges of private make were found ou some waste land near the station. Livexroor, Feb. 12—Afternoon, There appears to be reason to believe that the demonstration at Chester, which bas cansed such elarm in that city, was a (pi Fenian plot to seize the arms in tho Castle, though with what ultimate intention does not appear. ‘The prompt arrival fof military reinforce. ments, however, has relieved the special coustables of their,duties, and’ caused the Fenians literally to vanish. Large bodies disappeared to-day either by train to Holyhead, or the road to Manchester and other tawna. Cusarmn, Fob. 12-4 P. M. Nearly all the suspicious strangers have left Chesier.

It is now beyond doubt but for the prompt arrival of one hundred and fifty of the light infantry (Fifty-fourth Baffs) from Manchester, which arrived on Mouday hoon, five hundred and forty-five of the Gronadier Guards, from London, which arrived thia morning, one hundred of the county constabulary and fifty police from Liver. posi, Chester would ere this bave witnessed sharp work, either im an attempt to get into the Castle, where thirty thousand stand of arras are deposited, or im some other wanton piece of folly in reference to private property. Up toeight P. M. Monday about eleven hundred youths had reacLed Chester and two hundred more arrived vory late at night. They were mostly from Manchester, Liverpool, Proston and Staleybridge. The latest arrivals ‘being from Haliax and Leeds, Up to midnight they were geen to walk up and down the streets in ies of fours and sixes; if any attempt was made to join them by any strangers they would instantly disperse. The magistrates sat all day and during the night and swore in about two hun- dred special constables, who paraded the streets much tw the dread of the strangers, as they were seen to disap- pear into pubiic houses, but would occasionally come out to see what was going on. The military and police were kept in readiness all night. To-day the arrival of the Gronadter Guards, with Earl Grosvenor and Lord Richard Grosvenor, was hailed with immense joy by the citizens; and though no action to break the peace had been doae yetall seemed to breathe more casily, and several hun- dreds of the malcontents left the city during the day. The Cniof Constable of Chester has in his possession a list of the federal officers, with the rank they heid in the federal army, who are’ pow at Chester, and are be- lieved to be in command of the present movement. Our correspondent bas received it from good authority. A resolution was passed at Staleybridge on Friday ove- ning, calling upon the “brotherhood” iy the Cheshire countis of Lancashire and Cheshire, to fail upon the city of Chester by sunrise, 8.1zed the stands of arms at the Bockspii (tour hundred) and in the Castle Caivat bored thousand), and then to seize the Cheser and jolyhead line aud the railway packets to cross the channel to Dublin, with hopes thus to rouse their breth- ren 1u Ireland to immediate action. The tirst part of the Programme, hat 7 eg of Fda the latter was unne- cessary and impossible, Batches of young men, strangers 10 Chester, were to be seen for miles along the roads in the immediate vicinity of the Kirkenhead line, with the bei no dubt, at @ word of command, to raise the rails here there, and s prevent a great influs of police from Liver- pool. action Any attempt at a successful on the part of ‘the strangers must prove utterly futile with the present forces in the city, unless frech suppites of a far more numerous nuinber should join those now in the city. “CONSPIRATORS” ON TRIAL.

OUR LONCON CORRESPONDENCE. Lonpox, Keb, 13, 1867, THY PEOPLE IN CONGRESS. On Monday, a8 if by common consent, all London de- voted itself to the question of reform. There was a grand reform procession of workingmen im the after- noon, and everybody tufned out to see it, Even the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred were glad to secure a good window at the United Service Ciub and look at the display of future voters. ‘Then there was a great reform debate in the House of Commons at five o'clock, when Mr, Disraeli, the politi- al necromancer, let out the secret of the conservative programme. Finally, there was an immense reform ‘Meeting at the Agricultural Hall, where resolutions in favor of manhood suffrage were adopted. The main pointa of these eventa have already beon sent to you by telegraph, but there are some interesting details neces- sarily omitied in a cable despatch. FORMING THE PROCESSION. The Duke of Wellington once declared that there were no® two generais in England who could march one hun- dred thousand men into Hyde Park and out again. The English mast have improved in generalship since that time, for here are a few workingmen who-can organize, direct and control a procession of over twenty thousand men, agd march them safely and steadily all the way from Trafalgar square to Islington. At Trafalgarequare, where stands the Nelson colump, now guarded by Landscer’s new lions, the procession was formed, and at least thirty thousand outsiders had assembied to see it start. There was considerable disorder among the outside crowd—some bonneting of strangers and some throwing of stones—but the men m the ranks took no part in this horse-play, and at last one of the leaders rode up and sternly suppressed it. As club after clab came up and took its place in the line it was impossible not to observe that the men had been Grilled in a semi-military style, with what ulterior object tho future must determine, When the proceasion set out the one hundred pioneers who preceded it wheeled by fours with the accuracy of old cavalrymen. They were splendidly mounted. As soon as they bad opened & passage through the crowd a solid column of reformers was marched straight up the street with military pre- cision, and then the other two divisions of the procea- sion felt regularly tnto their appointed positions and the whole line was in motion. The Seventh regiment coaid scarcely have executed the manoeuvre better. ON THE MARCH, And now what a contrast is presented to the oleful Procession of the Queen only a @eck ago, Then the rain feil ateadily, drowning out all enthusiasm; vow the sky is bright with brilliant sunshine, and everyBoty de- claves that the day is miraculousty fine for London. Then there were comparatively few people in thestreets; now the sidewalks are packed with spectators, the win- Dorby anticipated it; it had come to be regarded as matter of course; but the procession flowed steadily along like a great river of sturdy men, and there was no sign of disorder, The government had taken every precaution. Few policomen were acen on line of route, but heavy reserves were in readiness im the side streets, ‘The soldiers were under arms in the barracks.

Stuart Mill, the philosophical member of Parliament, sent a letter approving of the object of the meeting, and declaring that, although he was engaged at |- the House of Commons, he would have been present had there been the slightest fear that the government would interfere with the proceedings. O'Donoghue and Messra. Potter and Taylor, all members of Parlia- ment, delivered addresses, as did Professor Rogers, of the Oxford Reform ue, Mr. Ernest Jones apd Professor Beasley. The O'Donoghue is a fine looking young gentleman, and speaks elegantly and fluently, pointi oF his eloquence with most expressive glances and graceful gestures. Potter is a sleek, jovial person, and @thorongh Englishman, Taylor, another strong friend of Bright, is a small, dark gentleman, who made the most incisive address of the evening, and invoked ‘the ynius of poor Artemus Ward to point nis satire of isracli,, Mr. Ernest Jones has been to America, and lectured in New York, The meeting was in every re- spect successful. The cheering was vociferous and unanimous; the resolutions, reflecting the sentiments of the speakers, were carried nem on, and the Derby gov- ernment was unequivocally condemned. Neither Bright nor Gladstone apy but their names were most cordially applaut ey and their coadjutors have fully convinced the people that manhood suffrage is a necessity. Now let them explain how it is to be obtained without revolationizing the country. This is ‘a point which disturbed many an_ bi intelligent workman at the meeting, and which was not settled when the meeting ended and the lights were put out. REFORM IN PARLIAMENT. Meanwhile a reform meeting of quite another sort was being held at the House of Commons. Mr. Disracli had ised to expound the views of the goverpment SE the reform question on Monday evening, and the anxiety to hear bim was most intense. Before the doors of ‘Westminster Paiace were opened at six o'clock in the morning, a score of persons with tickets had assembled there. The House of Commons is not open until four o'clock in the afternoon, and these persons and many more waited patiently the livolong day. Gentlemen sent their servants to keep places for them in the iine. Others engaged men to do this service Members’ orders were of very little avail, since nearly every inch of room had been reserved for some privileged person. It must be remembered that the House of Commons is by no means so large as our House of tatives, It isa very ‘mati, but most beautiful hall, pavelied in walnut and upholstered Lay cogs a a On the ground floor are the soats for members—simple benches, like pews—and there packed uncomfortably close, weari: cause thero is me roem to and sitting quietly because move, Arou te wall lery bei gallery being the legislators of England are hats be- not intend to ipa proceed by resolut resolutions embod: more attentive audience was never assembled to listen to ang orator. DIGRABLI'S REFORM SPEECH. After a few preliminaries the Chancelior of the Ex- tinct; a manner singularly w 1, and, at times, even awkward; this is Mr. Disraeli. He was dressed in along biack frock coat and gray trowsers. Now and then he pauses affectedly in his speech, and thua makes somo of his wittiest points, as when he declared that in 1866 i bad “a—a—a—goverpment,’’ the doubt implied by his hesitancy produ roars of laughter. When he intends to be impressive, he drops his voice 10 a boliow, solemo monotone, and hugs himself across the cheat with both arms. The characteristic of the man is insincerity, It ts impossible to see and hear him with out distrusting him. He is, of all speakers, the most artificial, and tho most transparently artificial, He is a too clever man, who always overreaches himself. Those characteristics were reflected in his speech. Be evi- dently fel the political and the historical importance ot the but failed to it. From the failure; his warmest adimirera were disappointed; hig own party grew cold towards him; he wasted time in arguing poluts which nobody disputed; he accepted as final copclusions with which ,ail the opposition disa- greed.

Funeral Services Yesterdny. i The beauty and magnificence of Catholic ceremonials were never more amply portrayed than at the obsequies: of Archdeaeon McCarron yeeterday. The long venerated pastor of St. Mary’s parish had sunk into his eternal rest, The parishioners, im order to show appropriate veneration for the remains of their deceased pastor, had made every preparation significant ef their woe. On entering the church one vast drapery of black met the view. Pendant from the galleries was an immense mass of ¢rape, interspersed here and there with crosses of silver fringe. The altar was shrouded in solemn biack- neas, relieved only by the silver addenda pertaintng te @ requiem, One hundred and forty priests oceupled the sanctuary and the chancel, and at ten o’clock com- menced chanting the office for the dead. The body of the lamented archdeacon was placed in the centre a‘sla, dressed in full priestly robes, with lighted tapers barm- ing all around the burial casket. Many were the tear fal eyes that looked upon the remains of their benefac- Jed adown the vaulted aisles the opening notes of Cher ubini’s requiem. The celebrant having concluded the mass, the Rey, Father Quinn, of St. Peter’s church, Barclay street, pronounced the eulogy as follows, tak- ing his text from the epistle of Paul to the Thessal» nians:— .
