LONDON, IVEDNESDAY, JUNE 20. Tex Fenian raid into Canada has not ended exactly as we had all hoped, and as we had a right to expect. The insolent intruders were not re ceived altogether as they should have been, and they were allowed to escape with too much facility after doing considerable mischief. The force in the neighbourhood of Fort Erie and Chippewa was not insufficient to deal with them, and the Canadian Volunteers met the enemy with spirit and resolu tion ; but there was incapacity and mismanagement on the part of the executive military authorities. The Fenians were able to charge, pursue, and make prisoners, and then to retire, when, with a little care and patience, they might easily have been surrounded and subjected to exemplary punishment. Their organization shows that they could have hoped for nothing inure than to make a raid with impunity ; they were destitute not only of all appliances for establishing them selves in the country—if wo may name so serious an intention in connection with their project--and it is plain that they never meant to meet a regular British force in the field. O'NEILL justifies his retreat by the fact that his men had nothing to eat, and that being without guns they were liable to be met by a battery of Armstrongs. The 1,500 men who landed at Fort Erie were a ragged and dirty set of fellows, natives of the United Kingdom, the most ignorant of the Irish Roman Catholic population, but they had passed through the school of war in the ranks of Confederate or Federal armies. Their military experience and the leadership of O'NEILL, who is said to be a man of unusual daring and vigour, gave them a decided advantage over the raw Canadian volunteers, with whom alone they came into col lision. Colonel BuoirEit, who led a force of 900 men to meet them, appears to have been carried away by his military ardour, and to have set out at an hour considerably earlier than that which had been fixed in concert with Colonel PEACOCK, who, with a battery of artillery and several companies of regulars, was moving upon Fort Erie, the Fenian " base ;" in this way the common action of the British and colonial forces was prevented. There ought to have been nothing allowed to take place which could be repre sented as a battle under these circumstances ; the whole affair should have been treated strictly as a matter of military police. Far be it, however, from any Englishman to censure Colonel BoorrEe. for too promptly acting upon the suggestions of patriotism. He had the spirit of his troops to consider and nourish. He marched forward to meet the invaders, and attacked them most gal lantly, notwithstanding the inferiority of his force in numbers and discipline. The Fenians fell back by a calculated movement until they reached rising ground, where they halted, checked the volunteers, and then advanced. The Canadians at this time found themselves short of ammuni tion, and owing to an absurd report that Fenian cavalry were coining down upon them, were formed into square. In this situation they were out flanked, and compelled to fall back as far as the spot where they first met the enemy. It is ad mitted that during this critical movement some of the Canadian corps did their duty manfully, and all would probably have held their ground under skilful management. As itwas, O'NEILL was able to satisfy himself that he had no chance of leatlint., his men to the Welland Canal, the object of his expedition, and gave the order to retreat to Fort Eric, from which he had started. Returning to this post, he found that it had been occupied by a handful of militia, and soon saw 83 of his men made prisoners and placed on board a steamer in the river. But the colonial officer in command, underrating the Fenian strength, soon found him self attacked by a superior force, and for a time 33 of the QUEEN'S subjects were in the hands of the Fenian as prisoners, until the approach of a regular force made it convenient for O'NEILL to embark and restore the captives to liberty. It is to be regretted on every account that the Fe nian were enabled to make good their escape, leaving no more than 200 of their number in the hands of the authorities. The best American newspaper' declare that our vexation on this account cannot exceed theirs, for Fenianistu in its most blatant form is even more annoying to them than it is to us. Within a few hours of their embarkation a British and colonial force capable of dealing with ten times their number was on the spot. By that time the Fenians had become prisoners, but not to those who had the right to deal summarily with them, as the British authorities would have been thoroughly justified in doing. O'NEILL was cap tured, with 500 of his followers, by the United States steamer Michigan, but it is not expected that he will receive any treatment worthy of the name of punishment. The position of a State prisoner is by no means the least eligible for a Fenian leader just returned from an expedition that had proved a failure. O'NEILL can boast of " having fought a battle with the British army" ; lie has his lit' of enemy's killed and wounded, and a " colour" taken at Limestone Ridge is lurking at the bottom of some dirty Fenian pocket for future display to credulous contributories. All this seems ridiculous enough, compared with the designs in which the Fenian leaders had induced their dupes to believe. But it is no light matter . -~ 1' ~ !. ~:. ~~ i y I ry~ ►~~~~ ~~ THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY ‘'EVENING, JUNE 20, 1866. that between one and two tho riffi ans, vile. out a cause and without a be able ?3 break into a peaceful provin wil the pat #se i brouti which they have positivift drouxel wiliitevar,; • and kill eight or ten pirsona ane'veound 'lffy others before a force can be collected to expel mem. The action of the American Executive since the raid has been much applauded in this country, and we trust that it may have the effect of showing those • classes in America from whom SWEENY, Rossurs, and Dlanowr have hitherto drawn sup- plies, how vain are the hopes with which they have been so long beguiled. It is said that the arrest of liwzarrx and Roseate has made a great impression on them, the ignorant masses having believed that President JOHNSON would never take active measures against those who so cordially hated Great Britain. &smelts, too, is reported to have been complaining in public that he has been betrayed. The continued vigilance of the United States Government, however, will form the beat guarantee for the maintenance of tran quillity. The great length of the common frontier makes it difficult, if not impossible, for either Government to prevent, by actual physical re straint, the passage of small bodies of armed men from one territory to the other, but the display of a determination on each side to punish breaches of neutrality laws, and to nip schemes of invasion in the bud, will have the moat salutary effect upon the relations of the two countries. OUR CONTEMPORARIES• (THIS DAY.) THE RESIGNATION OP MINISTERS. The Times has always thought that parliamentary reform must be a creation of time, and that its work should have been deferred till the new administration had essayed its power. But when the measure did come, and the public saw it was Mr. Bright's bill, there was no chance for it ; and it was thrown back on the bands of its author. The Times then proceeds to remark, in a sportive and humorous manner, that Mr. Gladstone has never put the principle of the admission of working men to the franchise before the house ; that the division of Monday was on a mere detail, and that, therefore, the opposition cannot be charged with refusing to enfranchise working men, and that the only comfort able reflection left us is that if the chiefs of the opposition come in now, it is because they are invoked as mediators, and called in to heal a party feud. Not a single item of retribution is due to the new government, not a grudge ; on the contrary, all possible co-operation. The liberals are bound by the very terms of their own self-immolation to give the conservatives a fair trial, and certainly not to exact from them a task which, with everything in their favour, they have found it impoasible to bring to even a respectable end. Honour and self-respect apart, observes the Daily NOM, it was scarcely to be expected that Lord Russell or Mr. Gladstone would be persuaded to sink to the level of administrators on sufferance. In the present house be trayal has become an article of faith, and every true liberal therefore, will rejoice at the determination of the govern ment to endure no longer to be the sport of the malice and dissimulation of hungry rivals and disappointed partisans. Mr. Gladstone had declared that he would stand or fall by the precise figure of reduction of the franchise which the government had adopted, and it marks the depth to which the sentiment of public honour has sunk in certain minds of so-called " philosophical " reformers, that they should at the last moment have believed Mr. Gladstone capable of treating his own declaration as if he had never made it. Until Monday next the public business of the nation is in suspense, and the country will wait without impatience for the glories of the transformation scene which may be in store. Meanwhile every true liberal may console himself with the reflection that this tory triumph will be the libe ral purgation, and that after their recent performances, the allied enemies and traitors to reform can expect no quarter frem a liberal party restored to health and honesty by the bracing air of opposition. The Post, as in all times of trial, finds consolation in dweing on the memory of Lord Palmerston. " You may be succeeded, you cannot be replaced," was said to Mr. Franklin. It will be long before we find a leader like Lira Palmerston, who will so conduct the business of the house as to win the entire confidence of his party, the respect of his opponents, and the love of all. The Post then proceeds to blame the government for risking their tenure of office for the sake of passing an enactment which the people regard with indifference. A dissolution, says the Herald, is out of the question ; it would be fatal to the liberal party for the next half dozen years. Ministers calculate that the Queen will not receive the resignation, and the Herald has heard that the o'licial tender has been accompanied by a private sugges tion that it should not bo accepted. But the Queen ap preciates too highly the ability of the conservative leaders to accept any such impertinent advice. If Lord Derby is called upon by the Queen to form an administration, as the Herald believes lie will be before the week is out, he will submit to her Majesty within a very few hours a list which will not only command the confidence of the c.maervative party, but will give the country a guarantee of a wise, an honourable, a peaceful, and a dignifi policy, protective alike of its honour and its foreign in terests. The Star says that a dissolution of parliament would have the cordial approval of all true liberals in and out of the house ; but the general impression seems to be that the government have tendered their resignation. The course which the country ought to take is plain. Everywhere meetings ought to be organised to protest against the dis placement of a government which enjoys the confidence of the people, and to insist that the question at issue between the cabinet and the house shall be submitted to the arbi tration of the constituencies. The triumph of Monday night, the Telegraph states, has been gained by Lord Grosvenor, Captain Hayter, Lord Duukellin, and their indefatigable agent in the press, Mr. Robert Lowe. The consequences of a change in the execu tive might be momentous. The difficulties apply far less ti the political complications at home than to the threatening crisis on the Continent ; and hence the aspect of events must enforce upon all who feel the responsibilities of the period the policy of retaining the government and calling upon the country for a new parliament. At such a turn in our history it is for the nation itself to determine what shall be the measures finally adopted.

Military officers are further protected by the mere proclamation of martial law, but the bona, fides of each act will still, we presume, be open to exception, while it may be omtendsd that semi were commenced, though not completed, beyond the proclaimed dietrict. It is possible, moreover, that doubt may be thrown on the operation of a Colonial In demnity Act in this country, if the friends of the negroes should institute criminal proceedings against Mr. Eyre on his return. Such a course, however, oould serve no good end whatever, and would assuredly fail to command the sympathy of the public. No one believes Mr. Byre to have acted from motives of private malice, or with any but the best intentions, and it is this which constitutes the essen tial difference between an error, however deplorable, and a crime, however trifling. The Daily News shows the contrast between the singular caution of the commissioners when they have to speak of the horrible deeds which they report, and their copious ness when they think they have an opportunity of exte nuating guilt. With all this moral infirmity, which hardly differs from cowardice, they have nevertheless delivered a judgment upon the conduct of the Jamaica government and it agents which fully justifies the severest censures that have been pronounced on them in this country ; and Mr. Cardwell has assumed the responsibility of charac terising conduct which the commissioners Lad treated with such ill-judged leniency. Her Majesty's government has declared Mr. Byre to have been not irresponsible ; but if the matter ends here, to what will his responsibility practically amount' The officers who have so terribly disgraced their country are to be banded over to the Admiralty and to the Horse Guards, and Provost-Marshal Ramsay is to be tried before an Island jury, who probably share his feelings, and, perhaps, even were his accomplices. This is not a state of things to be acquiesced in. Still it is something to have a formal and su• thoritativa condemnation of the Jamaica atrocities placed on record, and for this we cordially thank Mr. Cardwell. How necessary it was to obtain this verdict will not be denied by those who compare the state of public opinion in England now with that which prevailed last November. Meetings have been held in this country to glorify deeds now stigmatised as barbarous, and dinners eaten in honour of women-flogging, which moreover has actually been justified by a portion of the public press. Six months ago Governor Eyre and Colonel Nelson were heroes, and the Mouravieffs, Bergs, and Haynaus of Europe were chuckling over the thought that their acts had been matched, and even surpassed, by pharisaical England. The Herald can see in the report only the verification of the opinions it has again and again expressed. Revo lutions are not made with rosewater, and rebellions are not put down with kid gloves. When a handful of whites find themselves suddenly menaced by a multitude of blacks, when the hatred of race is inflamed by political antagonism and personal animosity, it is almost a moral necessity that things should be done of which calm and cool judgment will disapprove. That this was iu some measure the case in the Jamaica disturbances we have always admitted ; but as we have throughout, so do we still maintain, that, though motives of policy may justify Governor Eyre's recall, no scintilla of reason has been shown why he should be even temporarily disgraced, or why his future preferment should in any degree be Led. .

In Germany and Italy the electric wires and the *always Mails - taken under the control of the governments for the double purpose of special use and for secrecy it is difficult to obtain authentic news of the movements of the different army corps which are now moving to battle. The southern federal states are displaying un wonted activity. The Bth federal army corps was mobilised at once, and proceeded to take up a posi_ tion near Frankfort- The Hesse Darmstadt troops were the first in position. Four thousand of them entered Frankfort, when the news arrived that the Prussians had occupied Giessen. Military trains , run every two hours night and day between Bruchsal and Frankfort. Wurtemberg has re quired 22 trains for the transport of her troops. All the Baden regiments are in barrack, and are awaiting orders to march. At the railway stations the troops are cheered, and the popular sentiment appears to be decidedly anti-Prussian. Prince Alexander of Hesse, who commands the Bth corps, is the inti mate friend of the Emperor of Russia. The advanced post of the Federal army is at Friedberg. The Prussians were hissed on - their entry into Hanover by a portion of the population. The Nord mentions that King George left for England. Military men expect that a great battle will be fought near Glatz, in Prussian Silesia. The Austrian General Count de Clam-Gallas, who commands the Ist corps in Bohemia, with headquarters at Olmutz, has received orders to advance towards the North in order to join the Saxon army either towards Pima, about 15 miles to the east of Dresden, or towards Kwnigstein, a small fortified place nearer the frontier. THE ADVANCE OF THE ITALIAN ARMY. The whole of the Italian army is on the march towards the Mincio andthe Po. Piacenza, which was a few days ago crowded with soldiers, has now only a garrison left in it. The most complete secrecy exists as to the plan of operations. The troops ad vance by night in silence. The strictestinjunctions have been issued from head-quarters as to the direction the army is taking. That the Mincio and the Po will be crossed is confidently believed, the former by the King and La Marmora, the latter by Cialdini, but at what points has not transpired. It is doubtful whether the Austrians will dispute the passage of the rivers. They have been concentrating for some days back on the line of Verona, Vicenza, Padua, and Rovigo. Being masters of the roads and the railway they have it in their choice to select the place of battle. From the present aspect of their position it is not improbable that the first great battle in Italy will be fought in the centre of the quadrilateral on the attempt to pass the Adige. Garibaldi will probably undertake the difficult and dangerous duty of getting between the Austrian army and cutting off their commu nication with Vienna, or will harass its flank, which is protected by a corps of 20,000 men under General Kunne. The en thusiasm of the Italians remains unabated Signor Sella, the late Minister of Finance, has enrolled himself as a volunteer ; and the Italian commissioner for the Paris Exhibition is stated to have left Paris for the purpose of taking arms under Garibaldi. The walls of the Italian towns on the frontier are covered with placarda contain ing patriotic sentiments such as" Venezia omorte! Fuori Stranieri !" Advices from Turin state the Italian plan of ac tion isthat while the Ist, 2nd, and 3rd corps bear down on the Mincio, to the north of Villeggio, between Salluzzo and Peschiera, in order to cross the river, the 4th corps, commanded by General Ciahlini, will make a demonstration on Venetia, supported by the fleet.

Prince Leopold drove from Balmoral on Friday to the Linn of Dee, returning to the Castle in the evening. The royal 1 party changed horses at the Invercauld Arms, Braemar.— ' Dundee Advertiser. The Duke of Devonshire opened his mansion in Piccadilly last night with en assembly. Above 700 of the leading members of the aristocracy, and a large muster of the members of the House of Commons, thronged the splendid saloons of Devonshire House. _ _ His Royal Highness the Dake of Cambridge honoured the Duke and Duchess of Manchester with his company at dinner on Monday evening, at their reaidence in Great Stanhope street. A select party was invited to meet the duke. THE WAR. The Daily News thinks that though the occupation of , Hanover and Cassel may give a transient air of vigour to the military operations of Prussia, it is valueless in a ' political or military point of view. Silesia seems fated to receive the first shock of Austrian invasion. The yielding of Saxony without a struggle, and the massing of Austrian columns around Olmutz and Josephstadt, render it pro bable that a concentric movement from those towns, directed on Glatt and Neisse, is in contemplation. The heal-quarters of Marshal Benedek are at Pardubitz, a few miles only from Josephstadt, and on the direct route to , Gists. Is the situation thus chosen significant? A few I days, or even hours, may suffice to change conjecture into certainty. The Tines devotes an article to the probable strategical operations of the Italians, the purport of which is that the I campaign, which on former occasions proceeded from west to eut, will at this present juncture proceed from south to no-th, and the conflict will be chiefly brought to the plains of Itovigo, Este, Vicenza, and Padua, a compara tively untried battle-field no less to the Anstrians than to their foes. The Star expects that part at least of the plan of Gari baldi will take the shape of a descent somewhere on the Adriatic coast of Austria, while Cialdini, crossing the Po, marches in the direction of Venice, and the fleet of Ad miral Persano operates in the Gulf. 711 E JAMAICA COMMISSION. The Tines argues that to keep alive in Jamaica the heart-burning , connected with the late lamentable oecur rences by prosecuting or degrading every magistrate or official who may deserve censure, would be a very short sighted policy. Should proceedings be taken by private individuals or committees against such per , sons, some very nitro questions are likely to arise 1 under the Indemnity Act.

Pnissia has addressed a note to the German go vernments which voted on the 14thinst. against the mobilisation of the federal army, requesting them to abstain from participation in any discussion with the Powers who are at war with Prussia, as such conduct would necessarily disturb their peaceful re_ 'talons with the Prussian government. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JUNE 20. Immediately on the announcement of the death of Prince Sigiemund, the Queen of Prussia left this city for Potsdam. THE POLICY OF ITALY. FLORENCE, JUNE 19, EVENING. The Florence papers state that, putting aside the Venetian question, Italy has a vital interest that Austria should not have the supremacy in Germany, and should cease to be the negation of the principle of nationality, and consequently a menace to Italy. They point out that the govern ment in its reply to the invitation to a congress stated that the conflict affected the bases of the existence of Austria and Italy ; and continue as follows :—" The reconstitution of the Italian and German nationality requires, in fact, either that the Austrian monarchy should disappear expelled from Germany as from Italy, or that Italy and Prussia, with the principle of nationalities which they re_ present, should be crushed. Victor Emmanuel and King William will carry out their double pro gramme to the end without partial compromises." The journals further repel the insinuations of the Austrian press upon the eventuality of cessions which would break the co-operation of Italy with Prussia, and declare that European order must be reconstituted upon the bases of nationalities and the fall of the house of Hapsburg. The King will probably start for the camp to-morrow evening, and Prince Carignan will arrive in Florence to assume the regency. A despatch front Conatantinople of the 19th announces that Signor Visconti Venosta was to take his departure for Italy on the following day. THE GARIBALDIANS. OOMO, Jtwe 19.

We are enabled to state that the deliberations of the Cabinet yesterday resulted in a determination on the part of ministers to tender their resignations to her Majesty, and that a special messenger left town last night for Balmoral with a communication to that effect from Marl Russell :to the Queen. — The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitc, who for the last few days has been on a visit to this country, has been called on by Prussia to furnish a contingent to the army, a demand which his Serene Highness is not inclined to accede to. He will leave to-day for Germany -We believe it is likely that Lord Alfred Churchill will be appointed to the government of Jamaica. — We have much pleasure in announcing that Mr. John Lumley has received a well-deserved promotion by being appointed her Majesty's minister at Dresden.—We are in formed that in addition to the Hector and Prince Consort, ordered to the Mediterranean, in anticipation of eventual ities, other iron-clads are being prepared to further strengthen the squadron in that sea.—lt will in terest many in London society to hear that the Duke of San Arpino has been appointed on the staff of General La ?Sermons, and is now with him on active service.— The extreme inconvenience mused by her Majesty's absence at Balmoral may be estimated when it is remembered that it will be necessary to hold a Privy Council to announce our neutrality in the continental war, and that to do this some right honourable gentlemen will have to per form a long journey to Scotland, and a delay of two or three days will be unavoidably incurred should the Queen not return immediately to Windsor. — The secret object of Prince Charles of Hohenzollern's assumption of power in the Principalities, and the inten tion of those who sent him thither, will be made manifest before long, if, as it is expected, he attacks Austria, and thus creates a diversion on her frontier. The troops of the Kaiser will thus have to face attacks from every direction, all skilfully directed by the master minds who have surrounded Austria by a perfect circle of foes. The disturbance thus raised on the Danube, and, in all probability, in the European pro vinces of Turkey, will give an excellent excuse to those who may seek for one for redistributing territories and compensating Austria for the loss of Venetia and of Ger man influence.

PARIS, Jon X Intelligence received here shows the followiao be the situation in Germany as far as is knowa to the present : (IZMIR'S ZIPItiBB.) While the Hanoverian army is concentrated to Gm tingen, the southern enclave of the kingd om o f & saw bordering on Hems Cassel, the north of the h a t dom, and the capital appear to be di k a . tively in the occupation of the Prumiam, have restored the railway communications, idah had for several days been interrupted between Buhl and Magdeburg on the one hand, and Minden and edam, the other. The Bing of Hanover and the Prism Zvi are with the troops at Gottingen, but their mot pink is not known. Indeed, the most natural md a , meat for the Hanoverian army, after the mam a of the northern pert of the kingdom, was to fig b a k towards the south in order to effect a junctice troops of Hesse Cassel, and to rest with the latter m g, line of the Maine, which was protected by the y aisi and Austrian forces. But the march al 0, Prussian troops ooming from Wetelar and Mi n o s direction of Giessen had intercepted the railway s , ing Gottingen with Cassel ant: Frsukfort, and led m a g y placed the Hanoverian in a somewhat oiliest pum a. From Giessen the Prussians advanced towards Weire ta m Hesse Cassel, thus threatening to surround n o mmtd King George V., while they at the same fins amid e , I gage the forces of the Elector of Hesse. The movement of the Prussians towards Enakfetm, evidently only a reconnaissance by detached coop* for the Prussian troops in this quarter are sot it ad ficient force to contend with the Bth cogs al as Federal army, commanded by Prim* Alexander el 111;k -which comprises the Wurtemberg, Baden, and Deur* contingents, and numbers about 40,000 men, ell nisei round Frankfort, and supported by the Aura-Buda corps encamped at Aschaffenburg. The natural line of defence against the Prudent is part is the Mains, and all the efforts of the Hanoureas,o well as of the Hessians,should be directed towards pisi g that river, and subsequently assuming the offensive er re-occupying the territories which they have bra em pelled to abandon to the Prussians. Prince Frederick, heir presumptive to the Mere* It Hesse Cassel, has placed himself at the head ef ke Electoraltroops. This Prince, who married a Prated Prussia, and who is, therefore brother-indur to Pan Frederick Charles, commander of the Pnsia army in Saxony, was, by his mother. rd., ki t to the throne of Denmark, to which he renounced M claim by the treaty of London in favour of ths we reigning sovereign Christian IX., in order to Fru the integrity of the Danish monarchy. Ake the violent separation of Schleswig Rearm, from Denmark Proper he vainly endeavoured to Muth. renunciation which had now lost its object, and to mks good his rights to the Danish succession. This Prism, notwithstanding the ties which unite him to the rill family of Prussia, appears determined not to In another crown and to defend with early the independence and sovereignty of Reese Cue Ike troops under his comn.and are endeavouring to cairn with those of Prince Alexander of Hesse Darmstadt, ris also the intention of the Nassau contingent. A hark able combination of troops would thus be orsoestnri round Frankfort-on-the-klaine. In the direction of the kingdom of Saxony the sower toting movement of the Prussian forces continuos. At noon on the Dith they occupied Dresden. On the edam frontier Prince Frederick Charles' left wing entered in a line extending from Bautzen to Zittiu by way of Lobes, Benuitadt, and Oetritz. Bautzen is strongly garrisoned by artillery. Zittau, to the south, is the extreme point of the movement. The extreme point of Bohemian territory, penetrate( into Saxony, is on the line of march of the PfUlliill cap. The latter have pushed forward their advanced pouts r far as W urze ll s dorf and Gersdorf, quite close to ths Austrian frontier, which, it is thought, they may crass it any moment. A slight skirmish hod eventakenplusbetwer some Austrian and Prussian cavalry, a short distance km Rumburg, in Bohemia. The Prussians, not being in lugs force, retreated. The Kingdom of Saxony is therefore, to a great saW, in the hands of the Prussians, who bare already** menced levies for military service, forcing all SUN between 20 and 40 years of age into the Prussian rah SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMP, (THIS DAY.) ---•--- A special general meeting of shareholders in 1111 company, was held to-day at the Bridge-house Hotel, to the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, of mew* the following bills now landing in parliament, namely: k bill for conferring further powers upon the Wei Eastern Railway Company for the eat of works and the acquisition of lands and ober wise in relation to their undertaking • PI for other purposes.
