O'Mahony and Nillina, his secretary, have both already challenged the editor of the New York Times to mortal combat, and as the whole fraternity profess to be fighting men, there will very likely be some tine displays of martial ardour in the legislative body. W bat effect the split will have on the collection of funds it is hard to say. But lam inclined to believe that it will increase it. Nearly all the money is of course collected from very poor and ignorant people—labourers, maid servants, and hotel waiters and small hucksters. It would be rea sonable to expect that the news of the enamel between the President and Senate, and of the reve lations to which it has led of the waste and misap propriation of the funds, would cause these people to stop the supplies. But I venture to predict that, on the contrary, they will contribute more cheer fully than ever, under the stimulus of party feel ing. The prospect of lib era ting Ireland, dear as it was, was unpleasantly dim and shado w y ; but every 'Fean has now only to range himself under the blamer of (Maho or of Roberts to have an enm, in front of him, winos' bit vane and dollars I may assist in demolishing ; and the feeling of hostility between the rival parties is likely to be extraordinarily strong, inasmuch as the question on which they have split is a purely personal one, and not, as in the division between young and old Ireland in 1847, a question of principle. How muc h money they have got already it is diffi cult to say, as nobody in parti cu l a r seems to have the custody or disbursement of it, and I doubt if any intelligible books of accounts have been kept. Those beat informed calculate the sum total already received at a million of dollars ; how much remains in hand nobody knows. One of the purposes to which O'Mahony is said to have devoted his share is showing the "Fenian flag on the sea," which doubtless means that he has chartered a small vessel of some kind, which is now on its way to somewhere. It would be characteristic to keep vessel afloat, even at considerable expense, for the mere sake of "having it to say " that the Fenian flag was on the sea. That the leaders have any definite plane beyond keeping up an agitation, pro- riding themselves with places of "honour and profit," and having themselves talked about, I do not believe. I think the alarm displayed by the English go vernment about " descents" or attacks from this side is utterly groundless. As I have said more than once before, thers.are Iranians enough to go on " secret missions to Ireland," with plenty of money in their pockets, and with the prospect of simply a little agreeable excitement in eluding the police. But floe are very few, if any, so fax gone in their folly as to relish the prospect of going with an " expedition" for the purpose of effecting a descent on the Irish coast, with a dead cty of being captured and put i n gaol the c ater landing. The leaders know perfectly well the diffi culties of the enterprise in which they pretend to be engaged, and I do not believe that they have any intention or hope of d oin g more than supplying such persons as may take on themselves the respon sibility of rising in Ireland with a little money, or some arms. To the common Fenian herd of course they hold out a very different prospect. No doubt most of the poor dupes who are subscribing their money, really fancy that an army is being raised, and a fleet built, and some, doubtless, cherish the hope that the United Sta tes may yet be induced to take their cause up. But no such delusions are current in the "Senate," or in the O'Mahony " palace," as the opposition call it in Union- his. After making various signs of our presence, and being nearly choked with chlorate of lune. the wooden square opened, an d a fi erce face glare at d us as if we were wild beasts. In a humble manner our co nductor informed the eyes, nose, end mouth we sa w, that we were passengers fr om Na p les wishing to see the station. "Let them wait an hour,"- -and bang went the square of wo od. Angry but amused, the scene "MS so absurd, we dispersed to explore the islmid for the space of an hour. A strange place is that same Island of Ferriol. The magnificent morning air, the exercise , were most grateful, and the land we explored novel and peculiar to the last degree. We found numbers of dry, strange, blue green planta springing out of the rock, bushes lof rosemary laden with blossom, and dozens of I plants quite unfamiliar. On the whole island there cannot be pasturage for a goat. A path led down to Little Bay, on the shore of r i ll ig% lay an old boat, bottom upwards ; thousands of tiny jelly fish of all colours were nu in the and i The shore was covered with shells, ts, and 'debris of all kinds. Everything "had suffered a sea change into something new and strange " in that little bay. But it did not do to lie dreaming there ; our hour was up, snd we hastened to return to the offioe. Permission was graciously given to me the i station by the " commandant ," who turned out to be a isms and magnificent personage. not to be lightly spoken with. Dressed In a little brief authority, he made the most of it. Crowing by the breakwater after a quarter of an hour (being entertained by the way with praises of the quaran tine station we were about to see), we arrived st a small row of cottages, exactly like our poorest alms houses, perched on the rock. The door being un locked of one, you entered a room 13 feet by 9 or 10 feet. Two beds, two chairs, a jug of water, a small table, and a window opposite the door, with a cheerful view of a stone wall within a foot of it, was the prosper t we beheld. It looked cheerless enough, but was tolerably clean, saving the straw mattress. As there was sn invalid in our party, we decided at once to brave thr ee da y s on board where food and warmth at least we could expect. In fine summer weather I can imagine three days in one of thee' small rooms being endurable enough, but in the middle of. November it would take a strong constitution to bear the cold and damp of such a position. We found the prides moderate enough for cholera times. Four francs a room, i.e., two for each bed, and provisions, which I suspect were very inferior, charged according to demand, as the old man of the resta urant told me, " You may live for half a franc a day, and you may expend ten." As the restaurant was at a moderate computation three-quarters of a mile from the almshouses, and no attendants provided, the prospect of stone-cold food was added to the plea sures of imagination to those unable to go in search LITERATURE. „........---------- 00SLAND.

The Frogs' Parish Clerk and his delvenberes its Strange Lands. By Tamils lowing. Mr. Archer is one of the beet of our writers of verses for little children. The present " tale for young folk" is in prose, with a few new nursery rhymes interwoven with the story, the scene of which is laid in Batracbia, otherwise Frogland—a country not to be found in ordinary maps, but not unknown to readers of Homer's "Battle of the Frogs and Mice." The story is humorous, and the parodies of human motives and ad ventures in the persons of frogs, mice, foxes, and other anima ls, well maintained throughout. The volume is beautifully illustrated, the wood engravings being generally of high order. The frontispiece, depicting "Rana, the Froglauder, hearing that the Hatred:dans waist a king," is par ticularly soft and delicate, every touch of the artist being brought out with realty wonderful minute ness. The names of these Frog dare are, perhaps, rather hard for young spellers, but Mr. Archer has spared us some of those wonderful names with w hich Homer—if Horner be the author of the ori ginal Bottle of Frogs and Mice—delighted to bother the Greeks. Batrsehla will be troublesome enough for little tongues, b u t Batraehemyomachia would have been too terrible to think of. The volume is bound and ornamented with good taste. -- --- A Picture History of England for the Young. By H. W. Doioxvir. Rutledge and Bons. There is nothing new in the form or matter of this book, except that it is divided into brief cheßters, each of nearly uniform length, and com prising some distinct event or episode in English history. It is printed in large type, and illustrated I by 80 full page engravings by the brothers Dalziel, drawn in a bold but somewhat coarse style. The work is certainly inferior to tha t pretty " Victoria" History of England, with pictures by the same engravers, also published we think by Messrs. Routledge last year.

By Joan RUSKIN. Smith, Elder, and Co. As Mr. Ruskin's dedication to the "real little housewives, whose gentle listening and thoughtful questioning enabled him to wri te this book," as well as his preface, are dated "Christmas, 1865," we may fairly include this new volume from his pen, under the head of "Books of the Season." The purpose of the work is, as the author states, not to furnish an introduction to mineralogy,butto awaken in the minds of young girls an interest in the subject of their study. It is in the form of dialogue between an old lecturer and the young ladies of a boarding school ; and Mr. Ruskin assures us that the lectures were really given in substance at a girls' school far in the country, which during the course of various experiments on the possibility of introducing some better practice into the modern scheme of female education, he visited frequently enough to make the children to regard him as a friend. The interlocutors are Florrie, Isabel, May, Lily, Sibyl, and many others, whose childish prattle is faithfully reported by the lecturer in a way which may be amusing for young folks, but which could hardly, we should think, inspire any great thirst for the study of mineralogy. The old lecturer, it must be confessed, is generally a long time coming to the point ; and when he does come to the point, is apt to wander from it again to a degree which is rather bewildering, even to grown readers. There are eloquent passages in hi s discourses, as indeed there are sure to be in Mr. Ruskin's books ; but his modicums of scientific information are so inter woven with moral reflections and denunciations of alleged social errors, that a cursory examination of his book would make it hind to divine main subj,ct. This is, indeed, a fa ult a ppe re Mr. ti n most of Ruskin's recent writings. We are sincere admirers of his 4enius, but we confess that we like him least in his philosophical moods. Calmer thinkers than Mr. Ruskin have long ago come to the conclusion that progress in any study can only be made by keeping subjects which have onlye a true that remote connexion apart. It may be quit "pride, and lust, and envy, and anger all give up their strength to avarice ;" that " the sin of the whole world is essentially the sin of Judas ;" that the "Crystal Palace" is an offence against high art principles ; and that al nple ballads out of Guy Mannering are more to Mr. Ruskin's utastil te th an modern orchestral perf ormances ; but n the human mind shall be differently constituted, wise men will probably think these things out of place in lectures to little children one e element out s of crystallisation. Mr. Ruskin is, and of season, so hard upon the minor sins, that he will perhaps not think it irrelevant in us to say one word upon that sin of affectation. which even his most ardent admirers cannot help finding in his recent books. Will Mr. Ruskin tell us why a book title should not convey some idea of its contents ; why books should be called treasuries and gardens when they have nothing to do with treasures or gardening ; or why lectures to little girls on the elements of crystallisation should be entitled "The Ethics of the Dust r' - - The Boy's Own Treasury of Sports and Pastimes. By the Rev. J. G. WOOD, J. H. PIPPED, BlN wsrr, laws; and others. Routledge and Sons. This is more of a holiday gift book than the pre ceding, and we are afraid will be more prized by the average boy of the present day. It is in form like the ' Boy's Own Book," which used to delight us in the days of our youth ; but is is an improvement on that once famous object of youthful delight, being far more complete and extensive in its range.

I think the state of things we DOW witness is the strongest proof that could have been afforded of the wisdom of the American government in letting the Fenian a l o ne. It could hardly have rendered a worse service to England than by attempting to interfere with or suppress the movement. The slightest appearance of such a thing would have given the " Brotherhood" a dignity and importance which it could never otherwise succeed in securing, and would have given an immense stimulus to the agitation all over the Union. It is very likely, too, that it would have led large numbers of Americans, and particularly of the democratic oppo sition, to make common cause with them, and be lieve the executive guilty of undue subserviency to England. On the other hand, by giving the "Bro thers " plenty of rope, the probability is they will bring about their own extinction before many months, after having made themselves the laugh ing-stock of the civilized world. At present no American mentions them without a hearty laugh no journal of respectability has ventured to say a word in approval of the ir proceedings, and not a single Irishman of position or character has con nected himself with the movement. The leaders are all obscure little tradesmen, or nondescript ad venturers in search of a livelihood. The only American they have succeeded in inducing to ad dress them publicly is George Francis Train, who is looked on here as he is in England, as an unplea sant mixture of the fox and buffoon, and occupies about the same social and political position as George Sanders of Canadian notoriety. lam sorry I cannot think of any one in England to whom I can compare him, as men of his class there rarely succeed in making themselves so notorious as he done.

The author of this handsome volume is Professor of Drawing at Rugby , and is already well known by his treatise on the theory and practice of landscape painting in water colours, and other works. The present work is a series of progrestssing instructions in sketching, from elementary udies to finished views, with examples from Switzerland and the Pyrenees. It contains eighteen coloured and litho- graphic plates, and no less than one hundred wood cuts ; but it is not designed to teach students merely to copy the sketches of others.

FARMITIM' RIOTS AT CAILLISLI.^-01 1 Saturday a series of riots mums under notice at the city and county police courts, Carlisle, in which the mayor, the town clerk, the chief constable, and the city surveyor preferred charges of assault against Mr. Milton Carr, a farmer Reiss o at Cargo, who, it was alleged, was the ringleader of • mb of excited agriculturist& The facie were these :—So marry cows have lately died within the city that it is impossible provide them with burial on corporation ground. An to a ttempt was made to burn thecareases, but that had to be abandoned, and after careful consideration it was at last decided to cart the bodies to Kiogoroor race-course, • piece of waste ground belonging to tb• corporatioa, about three miles north of the city . Accordingly, five or six disused cows were taken there and buried in a deep trench, but not without the most violent resistance of the farmers for miles around. In fact, Mr. Carr was at one time about to shoot the horse which drew the carcases. On Friday afternoon, the mayor, the town clerk, the chief countable, and the surveyor were on their way to Bing moor in • cab, but were stopped within this city by Mr. Carr and about 20 other farmers, who brandished cudgels in their faces, mid obliged the occupants of the cab alight. The latter, however, walked 00, the cab follow- Kinand afterwards the managed to get off, and reach gmoor. But they b ad not been long there before Mr. Carr and his party arrived, and a riot was the result. His worship was oolLtred, one ot the men saying that if he did not make off he would get "a good walloping." The civic functionaries were all assaulted, and the surveyor in particular sustained personal injuries. Moreover, el breach they so severely belaboured the cab horse with their cuclite as to warrant a summons being issued against them for a of the Cruelty to Animals Act. The charges for assault at Kiogmoor will be heard in fall next Saturday ; but on Saturday last Mr. Carr was apprehended in the street, and taken before • special session of city justioes, on the charfterge of assaulting the surveyor within the borough, which, a several scenes of disorder, was dismissed. A GRICUL TURAL Paosrwrs.—All a ccounts agree in stating the finish of wheat sowing to have been satisfac torily accomplished during more than the recent run of fine dry weather, with the wind prevailing from the N.E., accompanied by • very high barometer. The week opened fine and dry, but with occasionally • thick atmosphere ; wind N. Monday was • thick foggy day, very dense in the forepaw), wind N. to N.E., thermometer 46 degrees, and barometer 30.45 inches. On Tuesday the wind got route to the RE., barometer down to 30.10 inches, having fallen steadily most part of the day, with slight he drizzling rain, and • change appeared at band in t state of the weather. Our advice* on that day from Lancashire stated :—" A co ntinuance of fine dry weather has proved of great importance to the agricultural interest in enabling a considerable further breadth of wheat land to be planted, and the fall-sowiog of this grain ma wny be counted upon as almost complell on the ground." Fr om eted, and the earir.so is genera ll y reported as looking w the East Riding of Yorkshire it was remarked :—" Weather le now mild sod open. and the young wheats are looking remarkably well." From Northumberlandwea ther since our last report has been fine ; wind N. and N. W. To-day is frosty ; wind W." The advice, f rom Scotland as regards the season have been favourable •as from thence it was s t a ted :—" We have bad • we ek of bolo %dui weather for the season of the year, with an °norms dentedly high barometer. Wheat sowing has been resumed under favourable circumstanoes." On Wednesday the wind was round to the S.W., and slight drizzling rain fell salmon. During the remainder of the week the weather continue thick, and at Crass extremely foggy, with the wied mostly from the south, and colder than in the earlier part of the week ; while rain appeared to threaten, but still it held op, and closed fine for the season. The wheat brat put into the ground his made good progress, not having been checked by any frost, and our advice@ from Surrey relative thereto state : —"The mildness of the weather of late has caused the early-sown wheat to grow fast, and high above the gr ound, such as the farmers cell winter proud, and • little check would now be better. Just in this neigh bourhood the cattle have been, with one or two exce ptions, free from the plague ; but at no great exce ptions, di s tance it has raged very much. It is indeed a fearful visitatioo. The corn markets all round are without change, good wheat commands a pretty ready sale , end the millers sat the hest of last year's crop makes good flour." There is no occasion to depreciate this description, at any rate; but it is better, han at oar time expected, and if the very damp qualities, arising from the heavy run s bef ore the stadia were thatched, should be allowed to remain until after next March, the usual drying winds of that month will bring the oorn round, and it may then command roma• aerating prices. On the whole, agricultural prospects, ss regards grain, are not now ea bad, but those who am sips mincing the cattle plague are suffering the most.

Duo. 13. There are terrible times among the Fenian.. The war that they were to inaugurate on Irish soil is nothing to the war that now rages amongst them selvie. In the first place, as I informed you in my last letter, the "Senate," consisting of ten, has deposed John O'Mahony , the " president," and forbidden the faithful throughout the Union to send him any more money, and put the vies-president, Roberta, in his place, and has published a mani festo bringing his crimes and usurpations to the knowledge of an indignant world. In the first place he refused to nominate for confirmation by the Bennie an " agent of the Irish Republic," to take charge of the money, but wickedly and traitorously kept it himself, and spent it as he pleased with his hangers-on. He hired " a pa ace "—that is, a one house in Union *quer% paid 3,(001. vent in advance for it, and about as much more in pledge to the owner, in order to sec ure him whist any damage that might be done to the premises. The latter probably found that the various ministers of the republic and heads of bureaux might now and then, when maddened by thinking on Irish wrongs, "cut up rough," and knock plaster off the walla, and break the windows. For these gorgeous apart ments he purchased, according to the, Senate, "sumptuous furniture," and even fitted up sleeping, rooms for his "bangers-on," of whom, as you may readily believe, there are not a few, and here he and his henchmen are now living like fighting cocks, with " the green flag floating o'er them " on the roof, on a long, and certainly most expensive pole. The O'Mahony, however, is not a man to be squelched in that way. He refused to appear be fore the Senate, or acknowledge their jurisdiction, takes no notice of the impeachment, and retains possession of the " head-quarters "in which he is so comfortable, and in front of which a crowd of Irish patriots of greater or less dimensions may be seen in fine weather , gazing curiously at the windows as if they expected to see the work ings of the President's soul in his cone flirt with the Senate. He in the meantime g ives as good as he gets. He says the Senate are a pack of traitor% who have been cor sJpted by " British gold," and who are bent on the ruin of the cause. Some of his charges against them are curious and suggestive. He alleges that one of them—for it will be understood they have had a chance at the money also—has lost 47,000 dollars of it speculating in gold ; that another has I , lent 180,000 dollars of it to a " publisher," name not given; that the editor of the Frcemon'sJournal in this city, whom they sent to Ireland with MI. to stir up the Fenians there, came back, saying he had lost the draft ; and curiously enough, about the time of his arrival, every Fenian in Ireland whose name appeared in the letters he bore was arrested.. John Mitchel is gone to Paris, with, it is said, 40,000 dollars, and it is to be hoped he is enjoying himself. A Fenian who has passed four hungry years in Richmond, writing for the press of that capital, must find many ways of spending money in such a place as Paris. One of the papers regrets ] m uch that he is not here, in or der to," pour oil (of ] a :trini) on the troubled waters." Mahony has, however, this capital advantage over the Senate. Having the money, the good house in Union-square, and the good beds, and doubtless the good liquor, he has nearly all the New York Fenians with him, while thelsupporters of the Senate are in the country districts. The con sequence is that he is able to make rather effective demonstrations in the way of meetings, resides. toes, and so forth. But the flame has spread through the whole country. The whole Fenian " Brotherhood" are divided into two hostile camps, ] and the air resounds with their recriminations. The American public in the meanwhile looks on and roars with merriment The " head-quarters," the green flag, the "Senate," the impeachment, the de position, the charges and countercharges which the patr its bandy about are convulsing the city whit laughter, and tilling all the better class of Irish, in whom there still lingers some sense of shame, some sew of the ridiculous and some pity for their unfortunate country, with pain and dismay. The Fenian movement may be foolish ; but this is not the worst. The portion of the Irish population which conies to America is generally the more energetic, ambitious, and well-to-do portion. They mostly feel deep hatred of England, and are animated by an intense desire to do something to avenge Irish wrongs, and yet, when after years of labour a movement is set on foot for the overthrow of the British empire, the unfortunates see nothing ridiculous in organising a government in a private house three thousand miles from Irish soil, or in preparing to assail and overthrow one of the strongest powers in the world with 280,000/. in the hands of a few hucksters and adventurers. Nor is this the worst of it. They have drawn up a constitution which they dis regard within two months of its adoption, divide into two parties, each accusing the other, and probably with truth, of embezzle ment, and, while making every day the most shocking revelations of their own corruption and peculation, are busy issuing " bonds" for sale, in the midst of one of the shrewdest and most prac tical communities in the world, and apparently without the slightest suspicion that there is anything (rnox • COPANSrun......., in the least ludicrous in the proceeding.

Why is It that qnsrantine arrangements all over the world are so miserable 1 It may be said, per haps, that the sudden and simultaneous outbreak of cholera in so many places found those in authority unprepared for the exigency. Surely there was time, after the appearance of the disease at Alex andna, for those governments who judged it neces sary to institute long and strict periods of venni. tins, to arrange that there should be at least clean liness, decency, medical attendants, and the necessa ries of life, for those travellers compelled to incur the pains and penalties, to say nothing of the expense and inconvenience, of quarantine. It is has* for no fault of one's own, to be treated like criminals or lepers ; to be shrunk from with aversion ;to be driven like a herd of infected cattle into some dirty enclosure or barrack, compelled to associate with people of all classes, some of them very likely suffering from symptoms of the dreaded malady. In such circumstances how fearful some times are the consequences ! Deprived of all com fort, of wholesome food, of needful attendance, is it wonderful that the disease should (as at Nisida) break out with tenfold virulence amongst the un fortunate, innocent prisoners, and carry off innu merable victims 1 It is terrible to think what people have endured in the ports and shores of the Medi terranesa. In Nisida, for example, the station at Naples, the accommodations were filthy and mise rable beyond belief. Imagine forty poor fellows being stowed into a room so small as scarcely to afford standing room, without beds or seats, and this misery to last fourteen days ! One of the principal physicians of Naples, on returning from San Severn, where be had gone at the request of the prefect to attend the cholera patients, found he was liable to twelve days' quarantine. With some difficulty he obtained a dirty little room, strewn with filthy straw for balding, which, to save them from greater sufferings, he offered to share with two Italian officers. The only possibility of getting anything to eat was to buy at a high price very infenor food, which had to be cooked as best they might at a fire of their own making. Happily this gentleman, an old man, and far from strong, had it in his power to remedy, in some degree, this state of things. He sent, at great cost, to Naples for bedding, linen, food, and for his servant to cook it. The majority have not the means of alleviating in any way the hardships of quarantine. I have not time to enter into the detail of the miseries of those who have been forced to spend seven or fifteen days in the wretched places on the Roman frontier, where, careless of what becomes of their fellow-creatures, so that they keep infection from their own borders, the Papal government have provided no sort of accommodation. In the Adriatic, on the shores of Greece, I have beard of persons gladly paying a guinea a day for leave to go on board a yacht to escape the misery of the lazaretto. Those who have undergone the horrors of qua rantine agree that in this civilised age they are a disgrace to the government who permit them. That the French government, so famous for excellent organisation in many departments, should not have made better arrangements for the well-being of those who are compelled to perform quarantine, is as surprising as it is discreditable. Marseilles is an exceptional port ;,but ask those who have suf fered quarantine at Algiers, hear thew tell of death caused by want of cleanliness, of decent and whole some accommodation ; of delicate women ex posed to all sorts of indignities from the riotous conduct and horrible language of the people with whom they were compelled to associate. Hear them describe deprivations and inconveniences of which it is impossible to speak more particularly, and then say whether such astate of things ought to exist in a Christian country. In the event of a visitation of cholera in our own country, I know not what arrangetaents may be contemplated. The vexed question of contagion or uon-contagion is still unsettled, and perhaps such regulations may not be enforced, but if it be judged prudent or necessary to place our fellow-creatures in quarantine, in the name of common humanity let us make their enforced captivity as endurable as possible : let us avoid the frenzied panic, mis management, and negligence that have caused such severe suffering, loss of health and life on the shores of the Mediterranean, and forget not, in selfish fears for our own safety, the duties we owe to our a I fellow creatures.
