Sin,---May I ask you to publish the enclosed cor respondence, which, as containing Mr. Mill's opinion upon the errata wurstic of a religious or secular system of educa tion, cannot fail to be of interest. The difficulties which Mr. Mill points out are such as, I feel confident, time and increased knowledge--e. g.. as to the exact relations of the Book of Genesis to scientific or historic truth—can and will remove. I should like to add that the description of the religious teaching in these schools applies only. to that part of it which I myself superintend. The ordinary I church of England teaching hi carried on as usual for all those children who do not dissent from it, as under the present system we are obliged to do. I mean, for instance, that if the catechism were nut taught to church of England children we should lose our grant. But this port of reli• gious teaching under :I new system would either .vanish altogether, or, what is at once more just and more pro hable, would be left to the clergy at certain fixed hours, as in America.— I am, &c., T. W. FOWLE. Holy Trinity Parsonage, Boston, N. Holy Trinity Parsonage, Horton, Feb. 7, 1567. Sir,—l feel that lam guilty of considerable presumption in venturing to ;address you. especially at this busy season, but I hope the importance of the subject may plead my excuse. I should say that I have taken some small part in the question of national education, and that I gave evi dence More Sir J. I'akington's committee upon the possi bility of a liberal system of religious education under the protection of the conscience clause. The question which I desire respectfully to put to you is this—" Are there not principles laid down in your inaugural address at St. Andrew's (an address which it would be the merest im pertinence in me to praise) which entirely settle the diffi culty as to the kind of education, religious or not, which the state should furnish to all who may claim it at her hands? No thinking man can possibly be satisfied with the present condition of national education in England, but there is a kind of feeling at the present moment that any resolute attempt to amend it would be defeated by what is called the religious difficulty. Now, the question that I have set myself to solve by practical experiment in this obscure corner of London is this :—ls there no way by which the religious instincts of the country and the opinions of liberal educationists can be combined in some national system of education which shall take into fair account the claims of both ? I could not but rejoice to find that your address seemed to lay down principles by the application of which this question might be answered in the affirmative. The siacial passage to which I allude is this—" Christianity being a historical religion, the sort of religious instruction which seems to me the most ap propriate to a university is the study of ecclesiastical history." Apply this—apply, indeed, the whole of your wise and kindly remarks upon this subject—to thequostion of national education, and the result would be something like this :—The Bible, whatever else it may be, contains the two first colonies of religious history. It should therefore be taught in a state school, not dogmatically, but historically, and exactly under those conditions and in that spirit which you have prescribed as legitimate in national universities. State schools arc the university of the working chases, and what is right in the education of the wealthier classes must be right in the education of the poorer. The Bible is the text-book of religious history which is in the hands of everyone. It contains the noblest, the most inspiriting, the most edify ing histories and biographies. It contains something upon which the poorest person in all England should have the opportunity and the requisite information to enable him to decide for himself whether he will believe it or no. Now it seems to me the grossest abuse of liberalism to withhold this knowledge from the children of the working classes because different religious bodies have different opinions about it. lam afraid it makes little matter to the unhappy victim whether the Bible is put into a liberal or into a Roman catholic Index Expurgatmius if the result be practically the same, that he is ignorant upon subjects which are at once the easiest to learn, the most sutiafac. tory to teach, the most useful to know. As a mere matter of English style and composition, it is a sin to rob the working classes of the best antidote against modern de basements of the English tongue. Nor, again, do I believe that the question presents any practical difficulty. I teach the ltible as a history to some 500 children of all ages and denominations without the slightest difficulty or suspicion. The conscience clause, by which a parent can withdraw his child from the religious instruction of the school, gives ample protection to individual rights, and would act as a check upon any possible tendency of the teacher to make the Bible a bundle of dogmas instead of a history of events. Does not all this present a hope of a reformation in our national education more speedily, and not less completely, than the secular system, against which the instinct of the country resolutely rebels? It is with the earnest hope that you will not refuse your con sent to this application of your own wise and tolerant principles that I have taken the liberty of thus addressing you.—l remain, sir, your faithful servant, J. S. Mill, Fag., M.P. T. W. Fowi.e. Feb. 9, lft67. Dear Sir,—l agree entirely with the general principles and spirit of your letter received yesterday. I think it highly clearable that the New Testament and those parts of the Old which are either poetical or properly historical should be taught as history in places of education ; and, so far my only difference with you would be that nearly all teachers, both churchmen and dissenters, being as yet very far short of the enlightened views which you entertain on the subject, would at present be sure to teach and inculcate all that is contained in those books, not as matter of his tory but of positive religious belief. There are, however, other parts of the Old Testament, viz., those which scien tific knowledge or historical criticism have shown not to be, in any proper sense of the word, historical, the book of Genesis for example ; snit I do not think it right to teach these in schools, even as history, unless it were avowedly as merely what the Hebrews believed respecting their own origin and the early history of the world.—l am yours with great respect, J. S. MILL. The Rev. T. W. Fowl. EAvr SUFFOLK ELterioN. —The poll in connexion with the contest proceeding in this division will be taken to-clay.

DEATH THROUGH INTEMPERANCE.—Mrs. Eliza Holden, of 12, Queen'.-road, Bayswater, an eccentric lady, of intemperate habits, who some years ago was in posses sion of :30,0011/., was found burned to death in her bed room on Friday morning. She had been reeding, and it is supposed drinking a portion of her usual "every other day allowance," a bottle of wine, a bottle of brandy, and a quart of ale, when the bed-clothes caught fire, and smoul dered. The unfortunate woman tumbled under the bed, and was discovered there, suffocated. The coroner's jury on Saturday returned a verdict of " Accidental death. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 18, 1867.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Atrato, Captain West, with the above mails, arrived off Netley Hospital yesterday afternoon. She brings 61 passengers ; specie, 1,016,702 dollars ; also 3,139 barons iWigo, 204 serons bark, 725 bales tobacoo, 460 bags cocoa, and 529 packages sundries. The Atrato left St. Thomas on the 14 inst., up to which date the mail from Southampton on the 17th ult. had not arrived out. llow fever, cholera, and small-pox sail prevailed at St. Thomas, but the sickness had much decreased during the fortnight. The statistics of the mortality of St. Thomas for the last 26 years show that the deaths this season have exceeded by 346 that of any previous season. The weather at St. Thomas was still very hot. The Atrato during her stay at St. Thomas steamed out of the harbour every afternoon, anchoring at the open an chorage, and, owing to the great precautions taken in the Tallow departments of the ship, not a case of yellow fever has occurred on board during the pamage. Dr. WNW, the medical superintendent of quarantine at Southamp ton, allowed the passengers to land imroedistelyon arrival, and the ship herself was to go into dock yester&y evening. On her outward passage the Atrato encountered a furious ha:violas five days out from England. The gale com menced on the 6th, and gradually increased till the Bth, On the morning of the 7th (the ship labouring fearfully) a tremendous sea was shipped, which washed the second officer overboard and earned away the port fore life-boat, the staimard cutter, and smashed the saloon skylight& On the houteward passage the Atrato has experienced mode rate weather. On the 16th, off the Land's-end, she spoke the Hamburg steamer Bavaria, 22days from Southampton, with rudder broken, endeavouring to return. Cholera had broken out at Grey Town, and was making frightful ravages amonaggsstt the population. Her Majesty's gunboat Nettle left Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 24th, for the outporta. The Royalist was to leave on an early day for Porto Rico. The Simoom was a petted at Jamaica from the West Coast of Africa. The Aob ir, Onyx, and Steady were in Port Royal harbour.

The project of levying extraordinary contributions for the purpose of meeting the deficit in the Treasury had given rise to very warm discussion in the senate, tome of the members accus ing the cabinet of great extravagance in the administration of the government. The allied fleet was in Valparaiso. Admiral Tucker and Captain Williams were in Santiago, consultrng with the ministry. It was rumoured in Valparaiso that the Spanish admiral will proceed with all the ships under his command to the Falkland Islands. It is also reported that the Spaniards intend establishing a naval station at Monte Video, from which point they would be able to look after all ships, tranagarts, and munitions of war that the repub lic s may be — necessitated to order from Europe or the United States.

The Hamburg and American Company's steamship Bavaria from Southampton, with 300 passengers for New York, that was spoken at sea on February 2nd, crippled through having lost her rudder, arrived at Falmouth this morn ing, —all well. She reached here without assistance. Great activity at present prevails in the ship building department of Deptford dockyard, orders having been received to construct four composite gunboats and • lighter. In No. 1 slip the keel of the Spartan gunboat has been kid down. In the adjoining slip the Curlew will be kid down immediately after the launch of the Plover. In No. 3 slip the keel of the Thistle gunboat has been laid down, as also the timbers for the rebuilding of the Sinbad lighter, which has been condemned and knocked to pieces, the best part of her timbers being utilised in the new lighter. BOILER EXPLOSION AT GIBRALTAIL—We regret to have to record a sad accident in the Bay between 11 and 12 o'clock this morning. The small British screw steamer Arab, belonging to the port, was trying her engines, when the boiler burst and she immediately foundered. Boats from several of the ships in the Bay hastened at once to the scene of the disaster and picked up all who had been on board except two men who went down with the vessel. We are sorry to hear that several of the survivors are more or less injured by the explosion.—Gitraitar C'hronstle, Feb. 4. THE DWELLINGS OF THE WORKING CLASSES. The ordinary Saturday night lecture, given at the Work ing Men's College, to the members of the institution, was suspended, it having been announced that a public meet ing, under the presidency of Mr. Theism' Hughes, M.P., would be held, to hear explanations as to the principles and working of the London and General Permanent Land, Building, and Investment Society, of which the hon. gen tleman IS chairman, and to consider the connexion be tween the society and others of a similar character with the great social question of the dwellings of the working claws in London. There was a large attendance of mem bers of the college, artisans, and others. The proceedings having been considerably delayed by the absence of Mr. Hughes, who, it was subsequently found, could not pee aibly attend, owing to the fulfilment of another engage ment, Mr. Stanning was voted to the chair, and edled upon Mr. Frederick Harrison, barrister-at-law, one of the commissioners appointed bygovernment to inquire into the operations of trades unions, who is professio nal ly connected with the society, to address the meeting. Mr. Harrison, in the course of an interesting speech, dwelt upon the pruden tial reasons which should induce working men to become the owners of the houses which they occupied, and said the dwellings of artisans and working men generally most vitally affected their social and political condition. He said that working men had, or at least ought to have, an interest in the affairs of their country, and they found at the present day that the old, and by some termed bigoted and superstitious, idea which connected the possession of a house with that of the franchise was adhered to. Mr. Bright was • warm advocate of household suffrage, and even the Reform League did not forget the importance of a house politically considered, inasmuch as they looked for " registered residential manhood suffrage." In contrasting the dwellings of the working classes in London with those of the operatives of Yorkshire and Lancashire, he made allowance for the obstacles which were in the way of im proved houses in the metropolis, but be said the difficul ties were by no means insurmountable. In the north of Eng land building and co-operative societies were the rale and nut the exception, and if the working-classes of London would also co-operate and invest their earnings with the view of ultimately becoming the owners of the houses in which they lived, a marked change would take place in their social and political condition. Mr. Shorter next addressed the meeting, and in speaking of the excellence of building, investment, and co-operative societies, said the possession of a house effected a complete revolution in the character of a working-man, for when he felt that the house in which he lived was his own, and that there was one spot on earth at least in which he was a free man, he realized the fact that he had a stake in the country, that he had risen to a position of importance which he should maintain, and that his children should be something more than what they had been when in a crowded and squalid court. Other addresses having been delivered, the proceedings, which were throughout of an interesting character, terminated. Despatches were sent on Saturday from the Colo nial-offioe to the Governors of the West India Islands, British Honduras, Bermuda, British Columbia, and the North American Provinces. SAXONY. LERLIN, FEB. 16. The Prussians will evacuate Dresden by the Ist July, but will retain possession of Leipsic, Bautzen, and Ktenigstein. The Saxon military contingent will form the 12th federal army corps. Its com matider-in-chief will be appointed by Prussia on Saxony 's recommendation. The other general commanders will be appointed by the King of Saxony in conjunction with Prussia. The Saxon Chambers have been prorogued until November. The King of Prussia will probably open the North German Parliament in person. FRANCE. MAR3EILLES, F. 17. Joseph Karam has arrived here, and has paid visits to the authorities of this town, to whom he is said to have expressed his profound gratitude towards the French nation. Visits have been paid him by the Eastern notables of Marseilles. He leaves for Algiers on Thursday next. During his stay in Alexandria he received visits from the chief inhabitants of all religious persuasions. THE FRENCH BUDGET. PARIS, Fn. 16. _ _. The Minister of Finance has submitted the or dinary and extraordinary budgets for 1868 to the Corps Legislatif. The ordinary income is esti mated at 1,673,451,585 franca, and the expendi ture at 1,548,775,621 francs, leaving a surplus of 124,675,064 francs, which is to be carried to the extraordinary budget for 1868. The minister pro poses to limit the issue of treasury bonds to 150 millions, and the bonds of the treasury of public works of Paris to 100 millions.

The Captain-General of Madrid has issued an ordinance declaring that all editors and printers publishing clandestine journals or pamphlets, or persons furnishing funds for that purpose, will be liable to the penalty of death. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, F. 16. The official and semi-official journals express approval of the portions of the Emperor Napoleon's speech from the throne referring to foreign affairs. They declare that if an understanding has been arrived at between the European Cabinets on the Eastern question Russia has not changed a single principle of her Eastern policy ; on the contrary it is evident that the European Powers acknowledge Russia's disinterestedness, and have resolved to assimilate their policy to that of the Russian Government. INDIA. (VIA Trieste.) BOMBAY, JAN. 28. Sir Bartle Frere laid the conior•etono of the new lighthouse on Kennery on the 19th inst. It is supposed that he will leave Bombay by the steamer of the 19th of February. A meeting has been held of the proprietors of the Bank of Bombay, at which the former resolu tion, reducing the nominal value of the shares from 1001. to 60/., was confirmed. The government has intimated its willingness to continue its busi ness with the bank on certain conditions for an other year. The captain commanding the ship at the late accident at Calcutta has been sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Intelligence from Bokhara of a very conflicting character is published here. The King is said to be much pressed by the Russians. A naval court of inquiry has exonerated Captain Mollison from blame for striking the troopship Edwin Fox on a reef. Measures have been taken on the Indian frontier for the blockade of some Afredic tribes who have lately been troublesome. The committee appointed to revise the Indian tariff has made its report, in which it recommends reductions in the duties on cotton goods, metals, and wines, and the removal to the free list of many articles which yield but trifling revenue. The Famine Commission in Orissa have nearly completed their report. They find the number of deaths greatly understated. The piece goods market is quiet ; but the cotton market is firm. Money is plentiful, but distrust continues to prevail. Weather cool, and public health good. CHINA. (BY OVEEtLAND TIMILGRAPH BROX GALLS.) HONG-KONG, JAN. 28.

ADDIZICIAL.) THE FENIAN RISING IN KERRY. DUBLIN, SUNDAY NIGHT. Letters from Killarney to-day speak of the Fenian movement as at an end. The small band of insurgents has been completely dispersed. At Cahirciveen, where the movement originated, 16 men were arrested. Some of the fugitives were seen in Mr. Gillicuddy's demesne on Satur day, and tried to cross a river flowing through it, but were unable to do so. A telegram from Killarney this evening says that the greatest tranquillity prevails. No Fenians have been arrested. Troops have been sent towards Kil lorglin and Cahirciveen. The Roman catholic Bishop Dr. Moriarty, in his sermon to-day, de nounced Fenianism in the most emphatic manner. He praised the people for having refused to join the disturbers' party, and regretted that he himself had not before spoken out more manfully against the movement. Thirty-four persons, who arrived by steamer this morning at North Wall, were arrested. (nom con OWN CONRINPONDLNT.) KILLARNEY, SATURDAY. The abortive attempt at insurrection which was begun on Tuesday night by a handful of foolish peasants, under the leadership of a few Yankee desperadoes, has already come to a disastrous ter mination. The " army 'of the insurgents rapidly melted away before the overwhelming display of force made by the government, and yesterday the soldiers summoned from Cork, Fernley, and New bridge on Wednesday to meet imminent attack, were scouring the hills around Killarney for the fugitives who are the sole remnants of the rebel force. The rash act, which has caused intense alarm in the country, and a temporary feeling of insecurity amongst the gentry and the trading classes in the smaller towns , will be attended by at least one good effect : it w ill prove to the people that the force at the disposal of the government is such as to render it impossible that any effort disaf fected persons may make to stir up rebellion should have even a momentary success. It will show, moreover that there does not exist amongst the peasantry in the south of Ireland that strong dis position to rebel that was imagined ; for it is a well ascertained fact that the farmers on the route taken by the insurgents held aloof from the move ment, though earnestly solicited to join in it. The proportions of the entire affair have been greatly exaggerated. The number of the insurgents does not appear at any time to have been more than 600 men. They were, however, better armed than was at first reported ; the majority of them carrying spare rifles with which to arm the disaf fected peasantry, who were expected to flock to their standard in large numbers. The party seemed pretty well trained to military exercise, and marched along the road from Cahirciveen to Kil larney in five or six sections of about 100 men each, in good order, with the proper officers at the head and on the flanks of each company. The officers wore green sashes and swords. Some of them, as well as a portion of the force, are re ported to have been clad in green uniforms, which may be true, but is more likely to be of the character of Sir John FaLitag's narrative of those fellows in " Lincoln green." The demeanour of the insurgents to the peasantry and townspeople whom they met was studiously moderate. In one or two cases where supplies of food and drink were taken, the leaden are reported to have paid the price in the coin of the realm. The leader of the movement is a young man named O'Connor, known as the colonel. He was born in Cahirci veen, but left for America when a child. He re turned to Cahirciveen about eighteen months ago, ostensibly for the benefit of pus health. On the day before the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act his lodgings were searched by the police, but nothing of a suspicious character was found. On the next day the police again visited the lodgings for the purpose of arresting the colonel under the authority of the Suspension Act, but he had dis appeared. It le now ascertained that he remained concealed in the locality for several months after wards—(he is said to be an adept in disguises)— but returned a short time ago, and has been here since, From his youthful, gentle appearance and quiet unobtrusive manners when living without concealment in the town, no person would suspect him to be the leader and o of the desperate movement which has just taken place. O'Connor is said to be a trusty lieutenant of Stephens ; and do cuments in the handwriting of the latter, addressed to the Kerry Centres, were found amongst the papers seized with Captain Moriarty, O'Connor's second in command, who was arrested in Killarney on Tuesday, and whose capture is supposed to have caused a premature outbreak. Some authentic details of the attack on the con stabulary orderly on the Killorglin-road have reached here. The man was met by the Fenian. at Bett'a Bridge, nearly midway between Cahir civeen and Killorglin, and was ordered to stop and deliver up his despatches and arms. The poor fellow attempted to draw a pistol from his holster, and was at once shot down by the Fenian leader O'Connor. The ball entered the thigh and passed through the abdomen, inflicting what is reported to be a mortal wound. O'Connor had the wounded man removed to a cabin on the road side, and on ascertaining that lie was a Roman Catholic, ordered some of his men to send for a priest. Amongst the documents in the orderly's despatch was a war rant for the arrest of O'Connor, which was to have been delivered to the sub-inspe ctor of police at Ca hirciveen. A little further on the road a party of the insurgents entered the house of Dr. Barry, J. 1., anal demanded a horse for the colonel, who, having received a wound in the leg during the American war, in which he luis served as an officer, was unable to travel far afoot. Dr. Barry's servant prudently complied with the request, and the horse has since been returned by one of the fugitive Fenians, the colonel having no use for it in the mountains, where he, with a few followers, are at present. - - - - • The accounts received of the attack on the con stabulary barracks and coastguard station in Kens are rather vape and unsatisfactory. It seems I pretty clear that arms were taken from both places by the Fenians, but the reports current of resistance having been made, and some of the Fenians and police wounded, are not, apparently, reliable. . . The insurrectionary spirit of the Fenian appears to have evaporated in a very few hours. On Wed nesday evening they learned the arrival of large bodies of troops in Killarney, and seem to have at once resolved on retreat. Behind them at Cahir civeen was a force of sailors and marines, landed from her Majesty's ship Gladiator; on the first alarm the constabulary were concentrating at several points in the direction of Tra!ee, on the eastern side, and Killarney, occupied by a strong military force, was in front. The only course open to them was in the direction of the mountains, between Killarney and Kenmore, on the south-west, l an d thither they took their way. Curiously enough, op to Thursday morning the officer in command at Killarney took no steps to secure the capture of the band, being probably deceived as to their strength by the exaggerated rumours current in the county. Having passed through the Gap of Hunk), the in surgents entered the woods on the southern slopes of the Toomies Mountains, and during the night the greater part of them, in small parties, made their way back to the localities from which they had come. Of sixty from the immediate neigh bourhood of Cahirciveen, thirty had returned on Thursday. When the pursuit was taken up by the military on Thursday forenoon there could not have been fifty of the insurgents left in the moun tains, these consisting of O'Connor and the officers CrWOPENCE who were too seriously compromised to be able to return with any degree of safety to themselves. The 60th Rifles entered the wood yesterday, and came upon some of the men. A alight skirmish is reported to have taken place, the insurgents flying in small parties through the hills in the direction of Kenmore and Lucen. Last night a large force, consisting of portions of the tith and 48th Foot,were despatched hastily from Killarney on the Kenmore road to cut off the retreat of the Fenian' in that direction. There are cavalry in Killarney, but from the nature of the ground, which is broken by innumerable hills and bogs, they are useless for pursuit. The rest of the work of clearing out the debris of this miserable revolt may be safely left to the local police. The object of the Fenian is to reach some remote part of the south-western coast whence they may be able to get by sea to the Continent. Public confidence has been nearly restored in the south. There is a powerful military force in Cork, Fermoy, Killarney, and Tralee, and at Mallow a strungreserve tuaintained. Theiroops are underthe command of Major-General Hereford, who, in this business, has acted with true military precision and caution, as if he were in the presence of an army skilled in the infinite manceuvres of war and supplied with abundant resources. The result is, that the troops have really never oome in contaci with the Fenian—the alight skirmish in which no one was hurt excepted, which is perhaps all the better, as bloodshed might have produced a bad effect in the country. Eight persons, alleged to have been portion of the Fenian band, have been arrested in Cahirciveen. One of them, a nailer, named Foley, was taken at 2 o'clock on Friday morning, just after his return home. Another of the prisoners, James Thompson, is the nephew of a mos t respectable shopkeeper in the town. The remainder are labourers and boatmen. They were to have been examined by the magistrates to-day. Three important arrests were made yesterday in the city of Limerick. One of the persons captured is a man named Murphy, a head centre, who was arrested at Kilnish about twelve months since, and escaped from the custody of the police in a very clever and during manner. The police in Limerick obtained by the merest accident a clue to the fact that there was a Fenian agent staying in the house of a Miss Reid, in Henry-street, and on entering the house they found Murphy and two Yankees, named Lawlor and Healy—who have held the rank of colonel and major in the American ser vice—in oneof the top rooms. The three censpirators had been engaged before the police entered in burning papers, and the remains of a drill book ands map of the city of Limerick were found in the fireplace. While the prisoners were being conveyed to the county gaol they were loudly cheered by the crowd ; and for this seditious manifestation three persons were arrested, but were subsequently libe rated. On the arrival of the mid-day train from Cork a fourth arrest was made, that of a man named Peter Johnstone, an Irish American, who would not say what his business in Limerick was. A correspondent describing his capture says the chief ground of suspicion against him was that he wore "a military shirt." These arrests have caused greatexcitement in Limerick, where the troops are kept constantly under arms, and parties of consta bulary patrol the streets during the night. Similar precautions are observed in l'ralee. Cork remains perfectly undisturbed, and no special measures have been considered necessary for the maintenance of _ _ There is not yet sufficient informati. m available for an opinion to be formed as to whether this rising was part of any general plan of action, or was occa sioned solely by Moriarty's arrest. It is improbable that if a general plan had been concocted there should not have been similar attempts made in other places, but in two or three well known centres of disaffection there has been no indica tion even of a disposition to revolt. The _AtMin Gazette of Friday night contains an order in council proclaiming the whole of the county Kerry. A Liverpool correspondent writes :—" There can be no doubt that among the Fenians who have been re cently operating about Killarney there are a few experte, as far as tapping the wires go. In the late war in America Furred, Stuart, and the notorious Morgan g..ined much popularity in conseluence of the manner in which they tapped the wires, and thereby conveyed important Federal news to the Southern authorities. One or two tricks of this kind have just been enacted in Ireland, and the Fenian', had there really been any seriou' mseniblage, could have tapped every wire from Fairhead to Valentia. It is understood that the authentic. in Liverpool, apart from any help from the War-office, have detrrminad to place the several volunteer store-houses during the present Fenian crisis under guard." _ .

SUSPECTED FENIANISM AT WOOLWICH.—WOOI, WICK, SUNI,AT. —ln consequence of information received last night, the precise nature of which is not known to the general public, the most active and complete measures were taken by the commandant of the garrison and other authori ties, and have been continued during this day, to meet any attempted Fenian outbreak, which it was strongly rumoured was to take place, and the programme of which was stated to include the seizure of anus and ammunition at the drill establishment of the Blackheath and other local volun teer corps. It is to be presumed that considerable im portance was attached to the Cnmours, as a detachment of Royal Artillery and the Military Train Corps were despatched to Blackheath last night, and have been en gaged even this day in the removal of arms, c.c., belonging to the volunteers, to the repository at the Royal At tillery barracks ; and the available troops in garrison, both Royal Artillery and Royal Marine Light Infanty, hove been kept in reserve at barracks, to be available if required. The same is also the case with regard to the Royal Arsenal and Dockyard police force. As inigkt b• expected, the strangest rumours were afloat during the day, none of which were realised.

DEATH OF THE SEA-BEAR IN THE ZOOLOGICAL GAIIIIEOI. —We regret to state that the interesting animal, the sea-bear, so long a favourite with all visitors to the Zoological Gardens. died on the morning of the 14th inst.

DEEDS OF A lIKANGEIIENT WITH CREDITORS. Th: result of the cases with regard to the covenants in deeds under ..action 192 appears to be that if a deed is so framed the; some creditors can sue individually on the covenants, whilst others cannot, the deed is had ; but possibly a joint covenant with some of the creditrre on behalf of themselves and the remainder of the creditors would not vitiate the deed. The statute doss not operate to make the non-assenting creditors parties to the deed, so as to enable them to sue on a covenant containol in it. But a several covenant contained in a deed made between the debtor and all his creditors may be sued on by any person who. in point of fact, falls within this description. —Solicitors` Journal.
