Report.

Dublin Metropolitan Police, February 23, 1864.

I beg to state that I find that P. J. Finney procured an office in the back room of a cottage in Guild street, in this city, where a number of young men assembled on yesterday, forty-three of whom received dockets from him, which they subsequently presented to the office of Mr. Delany, 13 North Wall, where they were furnished with tickets to. proceed to Liverpool by the Trafalgar steamer, which sailed from North Wall on last evening. On their arrival in Liverpool they will embark in one of the Oriental Steam Company’s vessels, and be forwarded to Boston per arrangement made by Messrs. Sable & Searle, shipping agents, Water street, Liverpool.

It is said that about the same number will leave per this evening’s steamer. They are engaged, as it is said, to work upon railways, &c., and all are of the laboring class, and strong athletic young men.

DANIEL RYAN, Superintendent.
