" libacgwoon's Picrritg."—We are not alarm ista--quite otherwise ; but we express, it is believed, the opinions of all thoughtful people, when we say that not within the memory of living men, nor long before it, has England stood in a position of greater danger or difficulty than that in which she stands at this moment. Be the causes what they may, the old feeling of loyalty to the constitution of which their fathers made their boast, has very much died out among large sections of the population of these islands. We say nothing of the temper which is so painfully manifest amid the great bulk of the Irish people. With them hostility to England and to English rule is patriotism. They are ripe for armed revolt ; and the late demonstrations in Chester, Liverpool, and even in London, show that a far more perfect organi sation subsists among them. not in Ireland only, but in England also, than had been supposed. Again, a consider able section of the working classes of England and Scot land, misled by designing demagogues, and hardly know ing what they are about, demand from the legislature such changes as, if conceded, would amount at once to revolution. And the language which is held at their meetings, as well as the mottoes which adorn their ban ners, distinctly indicate, if we can accept them literally, that unless their demands be complied with fully and immediately, worse evils may conic. Not that we desire for a moment to connect Fenianistu with anything that Mr. Beales and the Reform League are doing. We believe, on the contrary, that, impatient as the League may be of the just influence of property and rank in the administra tion of public affairs, it would never make common cause with men whose dream is of indiscriminate massacre and plunder. But mixed up with the League Sr. many indi. vidual Fenian, who, however powerless to bring over the onus to their own way of thinking, are yet in constant communication with their brother conspirators outside the pale, and so do their work for them unsuspected. Who can doubt, had the attack on Chester Castle succeeded, but that in St. Giles's, perhaps at Islington, not less than in Kerry, disturbances would have broken out And, blood once drawn, especially in the metropolis, it would be hard to say what consequences might not follow. In like manner, the trades' unions, departing from the purposes far which they carosat first intoexistenos, ars • them. selves on the side of democracy, and asking for w at, ac cording to Earl Russell's declaration in the House of Lords, there is not a single member of either House of Parliament prepared to concede to them. And cheering them on are members of the legislature itself, who either cannot see to what the general movement is tending, or see it and approve. Nor is this all—the proceedings of the Reform League, and their allies the trades' unions, are as much condemned by the leaders if one section of the liberal party as they are approved and urged on by the leaders of another. Yet so strung are the ties which link these antagonists together, that they will not be found standing apart when a political crisis comes, though per fectly aware that their ultimate ends are different, and that sooner or later they too must be at strife among themselves. And, finally, we have a government composed of gentlemen of the highest honour—able administrators, able debaters—who cannot count upon being supported by more than a strong minority in the House of Commons on any question on which it may suit the liberals so to agree, as to render it a fair reason of expelling them from office. If all this do not justify the language which we have felt it our duty to employ, when speaking of the crisis to which the affairs of the country have been brought, we really do not know where to turn for further evidence of the fact. A weak government, confronted in the legislature by a numerous yet divided opposition, while both am libelled and threatened by well organised bodies of men out of doors—this is a state of things which no thoughtful person can contemplate without alarm.— Blaelsood'e Magazine for March. . . --- Tna Immo/mi.—l remember one night going to a masked ball given at the theatre during the carnival. During the evening a young and apparently elegant woman came towards me, attired in a domino and mask, and putting her arm within mine, accosted me thus : " The signor has not found her whom his eyes seek ?" Now I was seeking no one in particular, so inferred that I was not speaking to anyone acquainted with me, and I replied, " The signora can jest at my disappoint ment ; does she wish it less ?" " Disappointment belongs to most who trust women ; to all who trust men." " The signora," I urged, " is too young and lovely to have dis covered that herself." " I have not complained ; the heart is silent on its own sorrows, signor capitnno." I was only lieut.nant, but the idea did not displease me. " Signora, if it were in my power you should never have reason to feel saa," I answered. And so this light badinage was continued for some little time. I besought her to tell me who she was, or to unmask, but this she declined to do, and in return told me so many little matters about myself and my daily habits that I could not imagine bow she could possibly have learned them, and became thoroughly intrigue. As she was very obdurate, I wished her adieu, when she promised that if I would stay until the conclusion of the ball she would unmask. For want of something else to do. and also, perhaps, from curiosity, I stayed, and about three in the morning I posted myselfsoo espi ed m y doo to jug toll l as o., lh m ey e walk p e l S with a most coquettish air, raised her mask, and disclosed the not uncomely visage of—my washerwoman. She was childishly diverted at her success in playing me off— much more than I was myself. The following evening I received a note from another lady, begging me to go to the ball again ; but as I was aware that my washerwoman heal a dear friend, who was also a clear-starcher, I felt sure that the two had concerted another joke at my ex pense, and judged it advisable to disregard the invita tion.— Cornltill Moonrise for March. _ THE VILLAOXR ' S HovszHoLn.—Salmon's weak ness is, however, now betrayed to those who did not pre viously know it—it is well understood emongthe villagers. Not content with the abounding life of his little house hold, this worthy man was fond of gathering about him a little population of the inferior creatures—rabbits, dogs, mule-canaries, and such like. On a Saturday even ing. when his heart was quickened and his wits were slackened by the social draught with which he bade adieu to the labours of the week, he was but too apt to " speckilate" in what he supposed to be rare speci mens of those familiar creatures. Dog•fanciers, bird catchers, and rabbit-fanciers, who knew his weak ness, traded upon it, and tempted him further and further onward in the perilous but fascinat ing path. He looked at it in the light of genuine mercantile adventure; it really was—gambling, But some of his early risks having proved unfortunate (lop-eared rabbits and recondite varieties of guinea-pig being difficult to rear, where there are eight little students of natural history eager for experiment), Mr. Salmon lost so heavily, that he was unable to pay up some " fines," and thus dropped out of the ranks at his building society ; known in the village as the Brickbat Brothers. Now as his great object in life was to have a house of his own (subject, of course, to the usual mortgage to the society), what could be do but go on speculating in these small deer, until the luck turned! And what could Mrs. Salmon do but acquiesce, and cultivate ber little noisy brood amidst all the responsibilities of a menagerie? Mr. Salmon was always eood-humoured like herself—be usually cams home cheerful to excess, though scarcely tipsy, at the end of the week, with half his wages gone, and a fresh dog in his pocket, or a piping bullfinch wrapped up in his hand kerchief. Over the new prise there was usually a con jugal word-combat, but the happy pair &lira) , came to terms again over some anecdote of one of the children. — Argos, for March.

During the verification of the elections in to day's sitting of the North German parliament, the return of Herr Wiggers, an advocate of Rostock, as Deputy for Berlin, was strongly opposed on account of a former prosecution against him for high treason, for which he suffered penal servitude. This, according to the Mechlenburg laws would dis qualify Herr Wiggers for election. After a long and animated debate, the election was almost unanimously declared valid. Count Eulenburg spoke against it. The house subsequently con firmed the election of Count Czartorisky. THE GRANT TO M. DE LAMARTINE. PARIS, MARCH 8, EVENING.

TIRE COMING RZVOLUTION IN SPAIN.—A letter from Madrid in the latlipendaare Bei fK sap' :—" Although the alarm is very great at this moment, and although many people believe in a speedy revolutionary attempt, I do not think one will take place before the end of May or the commencement of June, because at that time the occasion will be more opportune than it is now. Shortly after the meeting of the Cortes the government is topre sent a bill by which it will be authorised to raise a forced contribution of four hundred millions. If no opposition is displayed in the Congress it will not be tho same in the Senate. Eminent orators will energetically attack the project, and their speeches will be read with avidity in the provinces. Should the Queen sanction the measure it might be the signal for a general insurrection." A letter from Madrid dated the 2nd instant, published by the Independartre Beige, says :—" The even. ing before last several individuals were arrested at the Theatre Royal for imitating the barking of dogs as the Queen entered her box."

THE FENIAN INSURRECTION. (no* °us OWN OORRISPONDIIIT.) DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT. _ To-day the insurgents, 3,000 strong, were re ported to be moving on Ballincollig powder mills, five miles west of Cork. The military were sent to meet them, and the Fenian/ are reported to have fled, cheering and laughing None were captured. LIMERICK JUNCTION, 11.30 P.Y. The military met the Fenian, at Kate° ly to-day, but found they had attacked the house of • Mr. Gueron on Wednesday night; he fired at them, and they retired, but remained in the town until Thursday evening, when, having seized arms, horses, and carts, they moved towards Tipperary, thirteen miles distant. To-night reinforcement, of military, under Colonel M'Neill, arrived from the Curragh, and proceeded to Tipperary, where • Fenian attack is apprehended. DI7BLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT. The following telegrams have been received here : Oyez, FRIDAY, 3 P.M.—Everything was quiet hero last night and this morning. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of the Fenian who was shot at Castle Martyr, and a verdict of justifiable homicide was returned. LIMERICK, FRIDAY, NOON.—lnformation was re ceived here this morning that the insurgents, several hundreds strong, had assembled at Kilteely and taken the unoccupied police barrack, the con stabulary of the district having been concentrated at Newpallas. The rebels were said to be preparing to attack Newpallas, and numerous bands were reported to be moving through the country to join this company. The 4th company of the 74th Re giment was despatched from Limerick by special train this morning, but returned without encoun tering the rebels. Several Fenians were shot last night in collision with the troops. KILMALLOCK, FRIDAY.—Mr. Bourne spent a good night ;he is progressing favourably. All is quiet. Two of the men who were with Dunne when he shot Mr. Bourne have been arrested. The following is from a special edition of the Clutimel Chronicle, issued late last evening :—" A large party of Fenians attacked the barracks at Emly, and demanded the arms of the men, five in number, who remained inside. The leader •of the insurgents came forward, stamped his rifle on the step in front of the barrack door and said if arms were not surrendered they would take the lives of the policemen, and burn the barrack. Constable Dervine replied that every man in the barrack would die before they would give up. A party of the main body of the Fenians, which latter were about 200 in number, after hearing the reply of the constable, fired in through the windows of the barrack. The fire was returned by the police inside, and continued for some time, when the assailants retired. The police barracks at Gurta voher, in the glen of Herlow, and about a mile and a half from Bansha, was also attacked early on Wednesday morning; there were inside a constable and four men. The Fenians demanded surrender in the name of General O'Connor, which the police refused. The insurgents then fired on the barrack, the constabulary returning the fire. After some time the Fenians left, one of them being heard to say, ' Is he badly hurt 1' referring it is supposed to some one of them who had been wounded. Four prisoners were taken later in the day. After the return of the military from Croughill on Wednesday, Mr. Degernon, It. N. , received information that the rebels were assembling in force at the old Danish fort, at Ballyhurst, not far from the town of Tipperary. Mr. Degernon brought with him a detachment of the 31st and a troop of the carbineers, Major Lind being in command of the military, and pro ceeded to the place pointed out by the person who gave the intelligence. When they came to the school-house at Ballyhurst they got a dia. tinct view of a large body of the insurgents in military array., close to the old fort, which, as well as could be discerned through the trees, was blocked up with armed men. The major gave his orders and brought the infantry at a double quick pace. They charged up the hill with bayonets fixed, firing as they went, dashed over the fence, and drove the entire Fenian body out of the fort. The insurgents fled in dismay, leaving an immense quantity of arms and the commissariat after them. About sixty pikes were found, and also a tin can ' filled with rifle and revolver bullets. There was also a churn full of cold boiled po tatoes, a bag of white bread in penny loaves, and a basket of home-made oaten cakes, taken by force from the neighbouring farm houses. As the insurgents retreated, several of them were seen to fall, as if struck by the bullets. One was shot dead, and carried off by Mr. Degernon's directions. The pursuit was followed up for four miles, and on the way 60 additional pikes and four guns were picked up, after being thrown away by the Fenians in their precipitate flight. The mili tary took 17 prisoners, armed, while in pursuit. One of them, the leader, a man named Burke, is believed to hold a most important position. He is a returned Irish-American, was in the Federal army, and is lame." The insurgents in the direction of Grantatown carried with them all their wounded. Some wounded men were in such a dangerous way that messages were conveyed to some medical gentle men in Tipperary, who were appealed to for assist ance. There are about 75 Fenian prisoners in the Tiperary Bridewell, under the charge of Mr. Gordon and a military detachment. The city and county of Dublin are perfectly quiet. In consequence of alarming rumours that pre vailed in the county Wicklow, a couple of troops of Soots Greys and a large detachment of an in fantry regiment marched out in the direction of the Wicklow mountains. No insurgents were seen. (ROM OCEI OWN CORRISPONDZST.) DUBLIN, THUNADAT NIGHT. Having just returned from an excursion round that part of the county Dublin in which the Fenian have taken refuge, I hasten to give you the result of my observations. The insurgents, on finding themselves so promptly and energetically met by the military and police, withdrew from the low country in detached bodies towards the moun tains in their rear, many of them falling off on the way, hiding themselves in the fields until the ap proach of night, when they hoped to skulk into town in safety. Some were successful, others fall ing into the hands of the police ; the main body, if such a term can be applied to a disorganised and undisciplined mob, pushed through the pass of the Scalp, through the defiles [STAMPED, Id. ADDITIORAL.] of Tebradden, and along the military road towards Glencree, or rather the shores of Lough Bray, at which point several roads join, and where the entrance to the wildest parts of the county Wick low is situated. To this spot the military also turned their attention, and by a simultaneous movement of troops along the various routes they seek to hem in the unfortunate dupes who have been fooled into joining this miserable enterprise. Availing myself of permission obtained with diffi culty from the authorities, I started early yesterday morning on a jauntiug car by way of Tallaght, the scene of the first exploit, and passing through by roads reached the great military road which passes along the summit of the Featherbed mountain. The weather was miserable beyond expectation ; a heavy fall of moist snow, with occasional showers of rain, and piercing easterly winds, rendered the journey, which in favourable weather is very picturesque, anything but pleasant ; and if so to one travelling under pretty fair conditions, what must it have been to the number of Fenian!' who were obliged to pass the night upon the bleak hill side, or crouching fearful as hunted deer in the boggy glens. The very idea of having to pass a night in such a place and under such circumstances would cool the ardour of nine-tenths of such men as the body was composed of. After a few miles of such work, passing bodies of in fantry marching in the same direction, it became evident that I should see very little of the Fenians if I continued my intended route. I therefore arranged with the carman to meet me at a point some miles distant ; and trusting myself Ito the care of a peasant I had brought with me as a guide, I ventured on making a detour into the valley at the foot of the great Kippure mountain, and through which flow the streamlets which afterwards form the Dodder river. 1 certainly had no desire to fall in with the main body of the insurgents, nor with any detached party ; but I met with two hiding Fenians, they were concealed in the ruins of a wretched boothie, or hut, and were discovered by a mere accident ; they were very uncommunicative, as might have been expected, said they had met the insurgents and been forced to join them, and had run away the first opportunity. They said that from what they heard the commander was an American colonel, that arrangements had been made for sup pliea of arms and ammunition to meet them at Taflaght, and then make a raid upon the city, but the scheme was frustrated by the capture of a couple of waggon loads of ammunition, and the panic which seized upon the young men at the sight of blood and death. I advised the fellows to give themselves up, and left them. In a miserable cabin, which is used by the country people as a ahebeen house, or dram shop, we found three or four very suspicious looking fellows, and I think it lucky they were not armed, but as it was they offered us no moles tation, but refused conversation, and answered questions only in monosyllables. On the whole, I was rather pleased when I got to my vehicle again, and drove oft towards Enniskerry. At Glenerce the great Kippure frowns over the black waters of Lough Bray ' • the Eagle's Cliff, which is the highest point of the mountain, over looks the country seat of the Cramptons, now de serted but by a couple of terrified servants. Here the road turns up into the mountains ; but as the soldiers had not yet reached this point, I judged it prudent to take the turn to Enniskerry and Bray, instead of extending the excursion. There did not appear to be any concentrated body, but on various points of the mountains groups of men might be seen loitering about, and seeming as if undecided what to do. Along the road I passed a number of men in twos and threes, wretched, heartbroken-looking fellows, hunger speaking from their famished faces, and shivering from wet and cold ; they appeared skulking home wards, but they were only walking into the arms of the soldiery. My guide, well known to the country people, entered with me into many farmers houses ; in some we found strangers sheltered, but they were few in number, and the general feeling of the country people appeared decidedly against the men and the movement, but at the same time, with the hatred of informers which prevails amongst all classes of Irishmen, they refused to give any in formation as to the probable numbers of men in the vicinity. As I reached the pretty little town of Ennis kerry I met a party of 50 or 60 Marines, sent from the Royal George, at Kingstown, to garrison the residence of Lord Powerscourt, and protect the town. The townspeople and neighbouring gentry are in a state of the utmost consternation. The Lady Powerscourt, and many of the gentry—in fact all of them—have left for Dublin, and many have quitted Ireland altogether. Returning home by the Scalp, Golden Ball, and Stepaside, 1 was in the track of the Fenians' march from the suburbs of Dublin, and conversed with the police who had been made prisoners. They say that the commander of the party was a person who had been in custody about six or seven months ago s and had been discharged, and that as he had received kindness from the officials, he repaid it by interceding for their lives, when, on two occasions, it was proposed to slaughter them. The police told wonderful tales of the number of men they kept at bay, and the prodigies of valour they enacted, but all such stories must be taken with a heavy discount. My impression after the journey is that a large number of men are scattered through the country in a very disorganised condition, that notwith standing the splendid roads which intersect the district it will be a work of some time to catch the fugitives, and that most of them have cast away their arms, and are anxious to sneak home. The quantity of arms which has been found is large. They consist of all varieties, many of the rifles bearing the government brand. In the city, although the excitement has abated it is still intense. Several badly wounded men have turned up at the hospitals, variously account ing for their hurts, and a couple of dead bodies have been brought in, of men who had crawled to cabins, and died there of their wounds. Several young men belonging to the drapers' shops or monster houses were missed at roll call yesterday morning. A few turned up late in the (lay, battered and sleepy-looking, but they were immediately turned adrift. Many brewers porters are also missing, and the loafers and such like characters have become remarkably scarce. The precautions of the authorities continue — troops under arms in the barracks, Armstrong guns ready for action, the prisons garrisoned with troops, and numerous patrols. There is far less fear among the loyal inhabitants than might be expected. A strong confidence exists in the power and wisdom of the authorities and fidelity of the troops and police, besides which the wretched cowardice of the patriots, who run away in hundreds from a dozen policemen, and cast away their arms in their panic flight, gives rise to an opinion that one loyal man , would be able to fight a dozen Fenian'. The advices from Drogheda, Limerick, Thurles, and Cork: all points to a general rising in pur seance of an organised plan, but happily all the I attempts have proved equally abortive. (mom ova Own col arr. ) CORK, WEDNESDAY. The insurrection is already dying ont. Hun dreds of men who left their homes on Tuesday night with the mad belief that in a few hours they would overturn the authority of the sovereign in [TWOPENCE Ireland have returned during the last twenty-four hours undeceived, and disgusted with their folly. Those bands which still hold together, and it is be lieved they are not now of formidable numbers or strength, are wandering through the more remote parts of the country, keeping to the hills—no longer with the idea of successful aggression, but in the hope that they may evade the pursuit of justice. The Midleton band, which went off in the direction of Tallow, to penetrate into the mountainous parts of Dungarvan, has been greatly thinned by desertions, and consists of not more than a few of those most compromised in the business, who dare not return to their homes. The Cork detachments no longer exist as an insurrectionary force. This latter force was the principal insurgent body in the county Cork, and was that which, with the assist ance of squads from Blarney, Battu=llig, Whitechurch, Mallow, and Fermoy, destroyed the track of the Great Southern and Western Railway, and captured the police-station at Ballyknockin. The Killmallock to`ntingent, one of the most for midable bands in the county Limerick, is rapidly melting away, and fleeing from the pursuit of the =Davey. , rllb'Bseslm,• ear - et the largeskinvails the county Tipperary was overtaken by a detach ment of infantry on Wednesday evening, and fired upon. One of the rebels was wounded, and 34 prisoners were made. The rest scattered and fled for their lives. In Tipperary and Limerick the insurrection presented a really dangerous ap pearance on Wednesday morning. Every part of the two counties was being traversed by bands numbering from GO to 300 men, and the residences of the country gentry with few exceptions were plundered of the arms they con tained. Meantime the line of railway from Limerick to the junction was injured at several points ; the Waterford and Limerick line, which traverses parts of Tipperary, Waterford, and Limerick, was torn up at two points, and the telegraph wires were cut on all sides, completely isolating each military post. The insurgents so far secured the possibility of succeeding by surprise ; but when they endeavoured to turn the advantage to account they failed miserably. 7 . No arrests were made in this county to-day. There are about thirty-five prisoners, captured on Wednesday, in the county gaol, and it is believed will be brought to trial at the present assizes, and made an example of. The grand and petty juries of the county will not be discharged before Satur day, in order that the Crown may have time, if it should be so determined, to send up bills of in dictment. The Fenian made no secret of their design on Tuesday night. In this city large numbers of young men bid farewell to their friends, and many went to invoke the blessing of the clergy. They assembled in small parties in the streets, and marched off to the places of rendezvous, no obstruction being offered to them by the constabu lary force, which, us well as the military, was con fined to barracks during the night, except at thud* hours when small armed parties issued to patrol the streets. The inquest on the body of the Fenian leader Daly, shot dead in Castle martyr, on Tuesday night, was held to-day, and a - verdict of justifiable homicide was returned. Daly had a wife and eight children. The policeman Sheedy, shot in Midleton had seven children. Daly was second in command to an American officer named M'Clare, who was to lead the united contingents of Cloyel„ Midletons, and Killeagh. The Cloyal detachment was under a stalwart fellow named Joyce, a farm labourer, who was tried for a very atrocious murder at the last Cork assizes, and acquitted, to the surprise of the entire county. The peace of this city has not been for a moment interrupted. To-night the streets are patrolled by a detachment of the 12th Lancers, and by horse police, Arms were to-day removed from the gun smiths shops by a party of the 74th Regiment ; and the public-houses have been kept closed since Wednesday. There is yet some alarm prevailing, and much excitement ; but the danger is generally believed to have past away. The county Kerry has remained singularly tran quil. On Wednesday morning a party of Penians appeared at Mellstreet, and destroyed the tele graph wires at the railway stations ; but they soon after decamped, in what direction is not exactly known. This was the only demonstration made in the entire county of which we have yet had intelli gence. The abortive insurrection at Killarney is supposed to have entirely disconcerted the plans of the Fenian leaders in that locality. In Waterford the movement has been insignifi cant. The operations of the Fenians were confined to the damage done to the railway. THE FREEHOLDERS OF BUCKING HAMSHIRE. TO THE EDITOR OE THE HEMEL Sia,—After reading my lecture on " Pym" at Guildford the other day, I replied to the wild attack made upon me by Mr. Disraeli in the House of Commons with reference to what I had said about " the four thousand freeholders of Buckinghamahire." No full report of this reply appeared, so far as I can learn. Abridged reports appeared ; but those which I have seen deviate throughout from my language, often fail to convey my meaning, omit important statements, and give my figures incor rectly. They have, however, brought down upon me the criticisms of journalists, and of " Hectors" roused to arms in defence of the dispensation. I do not pursue the discussion, because I wish to reserve what I have to say for an appendix to my lectures, which are about to be published. In the meantime I would remark : 1. That the only issue raised by me is this— whether, among the holders of freehold qualifica tions in our present electoral registers, there are many of the yeomen freeholders stibmi4tiny by the cultivation of thrir woe laid, who one formed a numerous class in this country, and whose political action is strongly marked in our history. All arguments directed to any other issue th a n this are, so far u I am concerned, irrelevant. 2. That, as I distinctly stated at Guildford, I hold the present aggregation of land in a few hands to be primarily due to economical causes, and only in a secondary, though a considerable, degree to aristocratic legialatiun.—l am, itc., OOLDWIN SMITH.
