[Br Telegbaph.J [Per s.s. Albion, at the Bluff.] LONDON, November 23. The members of the Fenian organisation, taking advantage of the disturbances caused by the land agitation in Ireland, have lately been unusually demonstrative, more especially in the Southern Provinces. In Cork, where they number some thousands, they have assumed a defiant attitude, and have caused much disquiet. The authorities being well informed by spies of their proceedings, arrested fifteen of the leaders of the movement, and lodged them in gaol. The city of Cork is in a state of great excitement, but the military and police available are sufficient to prevent any serious disturbances. November 24. The Fenians who were arrested at Cork yesterday, on a charge of conspiracy, were brought before the local Court this morning. After evidence had been given, they were committed for trial. Throughout Ireland large gatherings have been held in celebration of the anniversary of the death of some of the Irish "martyrs" who have suffered at the hands of the English. Large numbers of people have attended, and impassioned oratory has been delivered. Dulcigno is now in the occupation of the Turkish troops under command of Dervisoh Pasha, who has been directly commissioned by the Sultan to transfer the place to the Montenegrins. The Albanians found as soon as the heights near Dulcigno were in the hands of the Turkish general that further resistance was useless, and when called upon to surrender they at onoe submitted. The formal cession of the territory will, it is expected, take place in the course of a few days.
November 26. The feeling in the south of Ireland between the landlords and tenants is daily growing more embittered. In Waterford diatriot the farmers have banded together to prevent hunting'being carried on over their farm*, and in other ways are exhibiting a most angry spirit against the landlords. Dervisoh Pasha, the Turkish commander, having obtained possession of Dulcigno, proceeded to carry out his instructions to P r0 * ld ! for the immediate surrender of the ceded district to Montenegro. A formal convention was signed to-day at Dulcigno by the representatives of the Powers and of Montenegro, and by Dervisoh Pasha, for the surrender of , the place. j
