It must be aoknowledsged to have been no tnein feather m their cap, when they captured at Queenstown, jaat landed most mysteriously for » L vorpool packet on its voyage to New York, a Fenian m" the guise of a lady. The Fenian, however, turned out after all to be a lady who had I been engaged m the rifle company of "Buffalo Bill's" show, and who. having fallen out with her employer, had left with the Intention of returning to Amerioa, but < ss U the privilege of ladies, ohanged her mind on the way, and quitted the vassal at Qaeenstown, for the purpose of retracing her steps.

The last report speaks of the lady as proceeding, m a high state of indignation, about the recovery of her rifles. Perhaps, by this time, the police havu found that even the capture of a Fenian might be prefer, able to that of a Tartar.
