Report., January 15, 1864.

Report.

With reference to my report of the 12th instant, relative to a person who stated publicly here on that date that he was commissioned to employ a number of laborers to work on railways in America, I have to state that I went to the house of the booking agent of the Atlantic Mail Company, and was informed that Mr. Feely, the person above alluded to, had been with him to arrange as to the conveying of the persons he is about to hire to Boston, and that he had shown him all his papers; he stated that he had been commissioned by two railway companies to hire 1,000 men, and that he had been to Loughrea, his native place, and had shown his papers to the Marquis of Clanricarde, who was quite satisfied with them. Mr. Ennis, the agent, stated that Feely had gone to Liver-pool to have an interview with the head agent, and that the laborers were not to be sent by the next vessel which goes to New York, but are to wait for the sailing of the Adriatic, which is advertised to leave here for Boston on the 2d proximo. About 120 persons made application at the office to-day and yesterday, and signified their intention of agreeing to the terms offered by Mr. Feely, which is to bind themselves to work on the railway for a certain period, and to repay their employers £1, which is to be advanced together with their passage fare.
