NEWS BY THE PANAMA MAIL.

By the Panama mail we have received files of the Panama 'jS'tar .and Herald, with English news by the Atlantic cable to the 10th December. The most interesting news I'elates to the Fenian movement^ ■which appears to have assumed a serious threatening character. The Fenian troubles in Irolaiid had. begun to assume alarming proportions, but the. London Times asserts that all attempts of the Brotherhood to rise have been checkmated, v and that it 'would be madness for them to do so now. The time has passed. Large bodies of troops are guarding every point, and tlie rebellion will be crushed out with an iron hand at once should it- even dare to show itself. The latest accounts from Ireland state that arrests of Fenians continue to be ; made, and that Yankee-looking fellows continue to flock into the country. Limerick has been proclaimed. The regular troops' now in Ireland exceed 22,000 men,- and the armed police are being increaspd. A large quantity of arms and ammunition have been seized at Cork— -a schooner with a cargo of coah was also seized while entering the harbor— and the vessel and cargo overhauled with the view of discovering arms and ammunition. Considerable excitement has been cause d throughout the country by arrests of srs■pecte'd Fenian's during the past few days.. Many who are npt naturally alarmed, believe that there is mischief brewing. A large box which had recently arrived per steamer from America has been seized 'at Liverpool.-' On examination the box was found to; contain a complete Fenian officer's uniform and accoutrements, three revolvers, a dagger, a patent leather belt and cartridge box, and copies' of certain *" official l^ regulations. The box is supposed to belong to one of the suspected Fenian agents, apprehended at Drogheda. The English Government offers a reward of five thousand sterling for. the body of James Stephens, dead or alive. It is quite probable that troojw will be ! sent to Liverpool and Glasgow, on account of the bad feeling that prevails among the Irish in those cities. Many arrests of Fenians have been made by the Government officers in Ireland. ".". ■" .y-" : ; At a large meeting of the citizens of Cone the magistrates were requested to memorialise the . Government to enrol the loyalpeople, increase the number of troops, and arrest all suspicious persons. ; The Board of Admiralty have ordered three iron-clads of the Home fleet to sail for the Irish coast. Iv -London' a marked feeling of excitement prevails at the prospect of an almost immediate Fenian outbreak in Ireland. The. Tirncs says that any attempt at rebellion in Ireland must be " stamped put" as we. "stamped out" the cattie plague— "that is by slaughteriwj :ihe diseased cattle.*' The London News says thai England must put down with a relentless hand any and every seditious movement, even if stirred up by her own misrule. The London . Telegraph says measures must be taken to render it ceriomthat the, yery first symptoms of a revolt in Ireland shall be "stamped out" with an iron- heel. The London Star says that the English people dread to be placed under the odious necessity of crushing out of any rebel movement in Ireland. ; The London tftaiidard says that the captured robber Fenians, should certainly be left to the extreme rigor of the law,. and that there is no hope for them in Ireland from the United States. - - - The London Herald— Earl Derby's organ — referring to the ."■';. condemned Fenians in'Cahada," says" that there is no loophole to be left for the future offenders of that class. Tlie London Globe editoriaUy hints that a- .more terious trouble with the (United ; States is really at the bottomjof Hie Fenian outbreak. A large number of British troops are: being forwarded to Ireland, and many 1 ships of war are oh their way t6 guard the Irish coast. Arrests of Fenians are being made in large numbers in England and Ireland, and twelve -thousand breech loading rifles have been sent by the British Government to Ireland, ivy the use of the constabulary force. ..' .
