The Irish Government recently determined to take measures for the repression of Fenianism, The office of a journal, the Irish People, the organ of the conspiracy, was broken into, and ten persons, including the proprietor, were arrested, while types, presses, and paper were seized and conveyed to the Castle. Other arrests have since been made in Dublin, Cork, and a few other towns. The total number of arrests, however, scarcely amounted to a hundred in all. In Ireland the parties arrested are mostly lawclerks, small tradesmen, and the like—not a person of any note or position in the middle class of society having been found among them, while the moYement itself is openly denounced by the Catholic clergy. Two members of the brotherhood were arrested at Salford on Thursday, and another at Sheffield. Similar arrests are daily expected to be made at Liverpool, where nightly drills and marches are said to have been proceeding for sometime. A reward of £2OO has been offered for the arrest of a person named James Stephens ; another reward of £IOO is ofr fered for the apprehension of a man called Geary. These two persons are said to have been the principal agents in correspondence with the American Fenians.
