MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or liga tures. They so pet fectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and ren dered sound and useful in mastication. • 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5 Advice upon the Toilet. Fee, 2e. ad.

CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for "Candles, Glycerine, andoSoap"—the only one to any British exhibi tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of the Company are their "BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme transparency of pure Paraffins ; their "GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke and smell ; their good old-fashioned '• BELMONT SPERM AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the dripping of grease when carried. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLI DIFIE ) GLYCERINE" con tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to bo in every house one of the sealed bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr, ps of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of skin, whether of adults or children • and when this is effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in compa:ison with Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be used. PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for burning without a glass. PAINLESS DENTISTRY. MESSRS. GABRIEL, DENTISTS.

THE REAL CHARACTER OF FENIANISM SHOWN AT CLERKENWELL. The horrible crime at Clerkenwell prison de notes the true character of Fenianism. The reck lessness displayed in the destruction of life, the outrage upon society, the violition of law, human and Divine, prove beyond a doubt that this Irish- American conspiracy has learnt its diabolical tactics in the school of the Revolution. We have not come to the end of the evil: The vigilance of our police, unaccustomed to the presence in our midst of an organized secret society, is baffled for awhile. The criminal leaders and instigators of this war upon established society issue orders which are car ried out in broad day, concoct incendiary plots to be attempted in the dark, strike consternation in the inhabitants of apeaceful city, and watch in security and concealment the effects of their mali cious and inhuman policy. Fenianism is not dis affection—it is not a protest against national wrongs- —it does not seek even by its lawless acts redress for grievances real or imaginary ; its aims are the destruction of society, the overthrow of a just and legitimate Government, in the desperate hope of substituting in Ireland a republic of its own framing. The Catholic Church stands in the way of its unholy designs ; it pushes the Church aside, and for the first time in history we witness Irishmen turn a deaf ear to the voice of their priest hood, and meet with defiance the denunciations of their bishops. Irish disaffection, caused by the past misrule of England, agitation in Ireland, to obtain a tardy justice from England's oppressive penal laws, the claims for equal rights, religious and political, were national sentiments and acts justified by reason and religion. During thiS painful struggle, Ireland, on the whole, exhibited an ex emplary patience, a forbearance, and Christian spirit deserving of the highest admiration. But in this struggle Ireland was at one with her priest hood ; but now Fenianism is condemned by the Church. Between Fenianism and the priesthood there is war. Its principles are unholy—its acts are deadly sins. Fenianism in Ireland and in Eng land is what Mazzinianism or Garibaldianism is in Italy and Rome. Catholics condemn both alike. What is black in Italy is not white in Ireland. Our judgment needs no transforming process. What we, together with the whole United King dom, denounce as diabolical cruelty at Clerkenwell prison, we cannot approve of or palliate at the Sistori barracks at Rome. We abhor equally the red Fenians and the green. Assassination open or secret—blowing up with gunpowder prisons, or barracks, or hospitals—the destruction of innocent life—mining drains, Orsini bombs, and explosive liquids flung into houses, are to us—whether com mitted on this side of the Alps or the other— cruelties abhorrent to human nature, and crimes against the Divine law. Secret societies, whether in Ireland or Italy —conspiracy, private war against established order, insubordination, treason, the sacking of towns, the sacrilegious profanation of churches, the lawless and revolutionary spirit, whether at home or abroad—are equally deserving of condemVictia. We naturally feel more shocked at a '6iirife - coinrnitted before our eyes, like that at Clerkenwell;_than of-the even more diabolical out rages perpetrated by the Revolution in Italy. In the midst of our long and happy security such an outrage, so novel and sudden, as that committed by the Fenians; comes like a sudden awakening from happiness to sorrow. We are humiliated that such things, too common to the Revolution abroad should be with us. Fenianism—that is war against society, against natural justice, against religion, secret, sudden, and cruel—is a new phenomenon in English society. If such things be done in the green wood, what will be done in the dry ? Our greatest consolation and hope is the uni versal indignation and horror which this Fenian outrage has aroused throughout the kingdom, in Ireland as well as in England. Fenianism is as much the enemy of Catholicism as it is of England. But we must remember that Fenianism is not Ire land, for Ireland is Catholic, and the Irish are a moral people, brave and generous and humane ; but Fenianism is impious and cowardly ; its leaders act in secret, and the blood shed by their orders is not avenged on their heads. Like Garibaldianism in Italy, Fenianism counts amongst its disciples but a small minority of the people. It is a taint which has not as yet gone deep into the nation. Irish Americans, lawless and irreligious, cannot, as soon as their evil acts betray their real character, long have sway over such a people as the Irish. Their last inhuman act—destroying and maiming for life so many innocent people, women and chil dren—will go far to revolt even those who arc dis affected and disloyal. All alike condemn such inhumanity. Not one voice has been raised in palliation of the dastardly crime. We must beware of the injustice and folly of indiscriminate censure. Let the guilty be punished ; let Fenianism be denounced ; but let Ireland be healed with a gentle hand of her old wounds. Moreover, let the leaders of public opinion, before all things, beware how they en courage revolution abroad while they condemn Fenianism at home.— Westminster Gazette. FENIANISaI. ,~._~~ The Fenian outrage at Clerkenwell, although fortunate in strengthening order and weakening the power of the conspiracy, will have an injurious effect on the relations between this country and the, United States. No person who anixes in English society can deny that there exists a prejudice against Americans. Among a large portion of Irishmen, this prejudice, strong with the English, almost amounts to a passion. Facts are mis-stated at Fenian meetings in New York, where a united Ireland with a heart throbbing with patriotic pulses, is represented as burning to throw off the hated yoke of the Saxon. Yet the Emerald Isle is so equally divided for and against the English con nection, that though difficult to predict what would be the result of a ballot, there is no difficulty in pre dicting what would be the result of a fight, if all men born in Ireland, and they only, were engaged and left free to choose their sides. There are some who ignorantly attribute the Fenian con spiracy to American hatred of England. They be lieve these outrages to be the acts of foreigners ; and they are supported in this opinion by the wide publication given to such resolutions as those intro duced in Congress by Mr. ROBINSON, Mr. CHANDLER, and others. The action and re-action of this feeling keeps alive what we believe to be the most baneful of influences. It has gone on producing its evil fruits, and may yet end in a hideous calamity. England thought that American sympathy was with Russia when the Western Powers were engaged in that great conflict. America believed that English aid and sympathy were given to the Southern States during the frightful Civil War. England is convinced that the revolt in Canada was wholly the work of America ; and she equally holds that the Fenian conspiracy was born and fostered on the soil of the United States. The people of this island regard that plot as one against life and property—a mere band of Secret Assassins—actuated by the vilest motives. The conviction that even in some degree they owe to America this organisation tends to intensify a feeling which it is of th e hi g hest moment to it uproot, and is deplorable that members of Congress should give a colouring of truth to accusations which are, in reality, devoid of foun dation. The native American retains little, if any, of that prejudice we attribute to the Eng lish. England is regarded with esteem and even affection. Those who consider Ireland to be an oppressed country hold that the Irish would be jus tified in a revolt—that is, an open, manly appeal to arms, when failing in obtaining redress by political agitation. In no other part of the world outside these islands, would such a deed as that done in Clerkenwell be more indignantly condemned as in America. In Mr. JOHNSON'S words, the American people are distinguished, above all others, for their love of liberty and of law. It is not the lovers of law who justify an organisation like Fenianism, and there is an innate sense of right implanted in American minds which leads them to censure more quickly and strongly than other people what they clearly see to be a wrong. Hitherto their sympathies have been accorded to the Irish as sufferers from English oppression ; but once con vinced that the English are the sufferers from a reckless gang who falsely claim to represent Irish wrongs, -and a change will be at once effected. None can better appreciate such deeds than they, for they have suffered from them themselves. The secret combinations of the lawless men the United Kingdom has sent to their shores have led to count less murders in New Yurk and Pennsylvania, to a terrorism in California, to riots between Irishmen and Negroes, between Irishmen and Germans Irishmen and Chinese, and to that Fenian organisa tion destined hereafter, we fear, to prove even more disastrous to the United States than to the United Kingdom. It may be asked—Why should America tolerate such an imperinm in iniperio? We reply—lt iQ here working actively against society, why do the English tolerate it ?—And the answer is very simple—Because they cannot help themselves. It is, in truth, one of the charges America brings against them. You have misgoverned, they say, a country so as to turn a large portion of its in habitants into conspirators. You ship them off in tens of thousands to our shores, where we become the victims of the secret machinations to which you have constrained them to resort. Our institutions have formed them into a poll ical. power so strong that we arc compelled to re. pet it, and they use this power to embarrass you. : is the bad shilling you have put into circulation a muing back to your selves, and now you do us the injustice of calling ns counterfeiters and circulate rs of spurious coin. We believe it to be a matter a. ;gr-2at importance that correct notions on this subject: .hould be circulated in England, and that the in flue-Ail 1.1. portion of the Ameri can Press, whose opinions Are republished in Eng lish papers, should give cr..r, ression to the true American sentiment, beat •in mind that it is for the enlightenment of a. :?eople who are more ignorant of them, than they would readily be lieve. Fenianism is an organisation against society, which may be as easily used for Anti- America❑ objects as Anti-English. It is a two-edged sword that cuts both ways in the hands of a maniac, and it is the duty of all peaceable, law-abiding citizens, to deprive the, in fatuated being of his weapon for working mis chief. The very essence of American politics is to separate the American Continent from political con nection with Europe, and to create in every immi grant a national American sentiment.. The essence of Fenianism is the very reverse, for it consists in maintaining in the immigrant an Irish feeling, and one of separation from the national sentiment, while the great object is ,to embroil the United States in a war with Great Britain for a European object, with which America has nothing to do. If Englishmen suppose that such intentions are gra tifying to Americans they make an absurd mistake. They are simply tolerated, because it cannot be helped ; and it may be more agreeable to them that the mischief ever brewing in the class England has forwarded in such numbers to America should have a foreign object, instead of a domestic one. The only remedy is for the American people, conjointly with the English, to recognise Fenianism in its true character, as an organisation against society, against good government, life, and property. If the more enlightened Irishmen in America were freed from the despotism invariably exercised by such secret conspiracies, the supporters of Fenianism would be reduced to a contemptible gang, whose object was simply riot and plunder. But it derives its strength from the same source that BrteADIIEND derived his—that is, from coercion, and a pressure which the leaders know so well how to apply.— Auglo-A nierican 7imes. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The paddlewheel despatch vessel Helicon, Com mander Edward Field, and the paddlewheel steam vessel Vivid, Staff Commander Sullivan, left Ply mouth Sound yesterday afternoon on special duty in the Channel. It is supposed that these ships, like the Gladiator, Medusa, and Cromer, are gone to look for a strange armed vessel not possessed of any legal papers. The screw steam corvette Pallas, 6, Capt. Mat thew Conolly, from Lisbon, arrived at Plymouth yesterday morning having in tow the disabled store ship Supply, 2, Commander Charles Bawden. The Trafalgar, 60, from Sheerness, arrived in Plymouth Sound on' Saturday en route for Ireland, where she will do duty as an extra coastguard ship. The captains and commanders of all ships in com mission at Devonport were summoned to attend at the Admiralty-office at Mount Wise, Devonport, on Thursday, when they were instructed by Port Admiral Sir William F. Martin to adopt every ne cessary precaution (especially by night) to protect their ships from insidious attack. On Friday these instructions were communicated to the officer, in writing. They are to the effect that from dusk until daylight a guard boat is to row round each ship in Hamoaze. The Royal Adelaide's boat will row also round the training ship Impregnable, and the boat belonging to the Indus will also guard the training ship Implacable. The Indus will, in addi tion, supply two steam launches to cruise in the upper part of liamoaze and guard all the ships there, especially the floating depot in St. German' s river, which contains live shell. Each guard has twelve loaded rifles, and is under the command of a commissioned officer. During the night every boat approaching one of the guarded ships will be stopped, and her occupants will be re quired to give a satisfactory explanation of their object before being allowed to proceed. It appears that what the Government most apprehend is the dropping of torpedoes down the stream. If any of these are found they are to be towed ashore stern foremost. All ships in commission are also to keep watch in harbour the same as if at sea. On board the Bellerophon, Prince Consort, Achilles, &c., this will involve the necessity of two officers being on duty all night. Weapons are kept on deck con stantly loaded. The liberty of the seamen has been necessarily shortened. On Saturday one corporal, Royal Marines, and five privates were sent on board the Vivid, and one corporal and 12 privates on the Impregnable. To-day the same number of matines will be sent on board the Implacable. The Bolivar, screw steamship, No. 17 of the Abyssinian flotilla of hired transports, disembarked alongside Portsmouth Dockyard, on Saturday, the invalided and time-expired soldiers with whom she arrived there from Malta on the previous day. The Bolivar is now discharing into store at Portsmouth the fittings and stores with which she was supplied as one of the mule transports for service between the coasts of Spain and Egypt. The Warrior, armoured iron frigate, Capt. Boys, was coaled at Spithead on Saturday, and yesterday' morning early dropped down under stream to another anchorage berth off Osborne. It is believed that the attention of the Home Secretary has been or is about to be called to the present practice of storing large quantities of gun powder, chiefly in an old form of cartridge, in the main magazines of the lines of _fortification, with a view to the storage of the greater part of it in the adjacent depot magazines, whence it could be drawn in moderate quantities as it might be required. The accidental or intentional explosion of a powder magazine may occur through unforeseen circumstances at a great depot magazine or at the main magazine of a garrison. But there would be this important difference in the two catastrophes—the depot magazine is always situated in some spot that is distant from all other buildings, whereas the main magazine of a garrison and seaport would by its explosion include with it the destruction of a town, and the loss,• probably, of thousands of lives, The system of storing these magazines is preposterous. The " department" in sists that we must always consider ourselves to be in a state of war. It appears to people outside the department that just sufficient cartridges kept in garrison magazines for practice and ceremonial salutes would be quite sufficient. All the guns at present mounted on the batteries of our seaports and g%rrisons are smoothbores, or the new old 110- pounder breechloaders, all of which would be useless in the even; of any attack upon our coasts, and would have to be replaced by others of larger calibre. The cartridges in all the magazines are, of course, made only for these guns, and are suitable for no other. The case as it now stands is, therefore, that our batteries are crowned with guns and their magazines stuffed with gunpowder cartridges that we know we cannot fight with. In the main ma gazine of Portsmouth town fortifications alone, for example, there are upwards of 700 barrels of powder cartridges for 6-in. and 8-in. smooth-bore guns, besides those in store in the expense magazine, and all other seaport and garrison towns are in a similar condition. The attention of the Home Secretary has not been called to this state of things one hour too soon. At Aldershott Camp during the past week the troops have been exercised in route-marching on various days, but the state of the weather has af forded uo opportunity for field evolutions. Lieut. ; Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., PRICE.... ld. STAMPED sd. has returned from leave of absence, and has reas stuned command of the division. General regret is felt at the premature decease of Colonel John Clark Kennedy, C. 8., Colonel Com mandant of the Military Train, the intelligence of whose death at Cairo, from dysentery. has been re • ceived at the 'War-office. Colonel Kennedy was one of the most energetic officers in the army, and had gone out to take part in the co:Jtemplated war in Aieyssinia. Ile had been in the service 34 years. He srved with the 18th in the China expedition in 1812, and was present at the investment of Nankin ' and the operations in the Canton River in April. 1847. lie served throughout the whole of ' the Punjaub campaig n o f 1848-49 . He was then ! attached to the staff of Sir Walter Gilbert, and was present at the surrender of the Sikh army and guns, and the forced march upon Attock, which drove the Affghans across the Indus. Ile was ap pointed Aide-de-camp to Brigadier-Gen. Sir Colin Campbell, and was present at the advance upon, and occupation of, Peshawur, March 21, 1849. He served in the Crimea and was wounded in the neck at Sebastopol. He was after,vards appointed Assis.- Adjt.-Gen. at head-quarters. He was in the re ceipt of the China medal, the medal and two clasps for the Punjab campaign, and for his services in the Crimea was made a Companion of the Bath, with - medal and clasp. He had held the post of Col.-Commandant of the Military Train since Feb ruary, 1860. The undermentioned naval cadets have been nominated :—Robert F. Banks, John Casement, John W. Elliott, Ernest Edye, Lewis F. C. Jack son, Edward H. Godsall, Arthur J. Goldney, Charles N. Rodick, Walter Pigot, and Henry M. IVhite. The Most Rev, Dr. Manning, Roman Catholic archbishop of Westminster, and the Bei. Dr. Grint, roman Catholic Bishop of Southwark, have issued trders that the . usual custom of celebrating mid. tight mass on Christmas Eve is not to be observed Ihis year, The Rev. Patrick O'Callaghan, at the . .en o'clock mass at St.. Anselm's, Lincoln's-inn -fields, addressed his congregation, severely condemniu4 !ecret societies in general, and Fenianism in par icular. The rev. . gentleman .in the course of its sermon pointed out the nature and character ! )f the censures promulgated by the decrees of the 1 Catholic Church against secret societies, and warned 31S hearers that by the fact of belonging to a secret society or she was excommunicated ipso facto, and could re :•.:ive neither the sacred rites of the Church nor absolution. !rom any priest, even though on the bed of death. l-re ‘ziaracterised these societies as compositions of evil, and the men who'directed them as cruel, treacherous, disloyal, and cowardly, unworthy the conic coca, respect, or ZLISO. - Liation of any good member of society. The rev. t preache r vehemently denou nce d th e di a b o li ca l Outrage of Friday week, and warned his hearers that if the threats against law and property, the threats of burning down end blowing up public and private establishments, were persevered in and carried out in a few instances, the gre a t bulk of the Irishmen in England, who he was proud to say were as honest, as trustworthy, and as loyal as 4 any Englishman or Scotchman, would be distrusted, subjected to unjust suspicions, and so far would be deprived of means to earn their bread. " Indeed," continued the rew gentleman, " I am sure that I am safe in stating that already hundreds of our poor labouring countrymen have been deprived of or prevented getting employment through this very thing. The employers of labour will begin to look upon it as unsafe—and justly so, lam bound to sr,y —to have an Irishman in their employment or about their premises or property if these threats are continued and these outrages persevered in." The society to which he referred, he was very glad to say, had not as yet gone very far ; it was but in its infancy here, and it had not up ' 4 , l j, this entrapped many of the young men about, but it was Increasing, and unless crushed out at once would pr ove calamitous for soul and body. Under O'Connell And the faithful and well-tried bishops and priests of Ire l .and, who were as ready now as ever they were to lay ;town their lives for their flocks, the Irish Catholics were raised from a condition of political serfdom to one of constitutional freedom, grievances and disabilities were swept away, and never was the British people and legislative body more anxious and disposed than at present to redress the great grievances of Ireland, unless the dastardly outrage o. Friday week, and such like ones, might alter or retard tl 4 e legislative intentions. Two Meetings were announced to be held on Cle - tken. well-green yesterday—one at eleven :,'clock, ur,.on the invitation of Mr. Finlen, to "expose th e treaclrzy of the Fenians," and the other at three, to be co - erposecl of, according to a handbill circulated, " the men of Ireland resident in London." They were invited to express their abhorrence of the Clerkenwell outrage. When these announcements became known to the police, Mr. Superin tendent Gernon, of the G division, laid an information before a magistrate, in which he stated his belief that if those meetings, or either of them, were allowed to be held, a breach of the peace would take place. He grounded his belief upon the fact that in the neighbourlwod of Clerken well-green and in the entire district there existed a strong feeling of indignation against the persons who origi nated the funeral procession in honour of ths:Man chester murderers, which, as many of the inhabitants felt, had in some way contributed to bring about the crime of Friday week. Upon the information being sworn, orders were given by the Middlesex magistrate% acting under the advice of the Home Office, that the 'meetings should not be permitted to he held, and that any person per sisting in addressing the crowd should be taken into cus tody. The promoters of the meetings having been duly warned, a force of about forty men took up their positions two and two on the flagways of Clerkenwell-green about ten o'clock. Upwards of 100 special constables, resident in the neighbourhood, remained at borne in case their set.' vices should be required; But few responded to Mr. Finlen's invitation. Some dozen Irishmen were on the Green at eleven o'clock, and left it in half an hour, when Mr. Finlen had not made his appearance, nor did he until twenty minutes past twelve. Mr. Finlen said that under the circumstances, and as he did not wish there should be any breach of the peace, he would abandon the idea of holding the meeting. He then went away, followed by a few persons. At three o'clock Mr. Thomas Campbell, the pror osed chairman of the second meeting, Messrs,,s‘/lel drum, Sweeney, and a few others, made their arpearance at the corner of Clerkenwell-close, but, lir l e;- g b een apprised by Mr. Finlen of the intentions the police, they, like him, gave up the idea of perr,evi.:ring in their design. The projectors of the meetinsi walked about the green for some time, and were sul;:sected to very uncom plimentary, if not threatening, renvirks by English working men. The police o r :deers state that the presence of the force was quite as - itecessary to protect Finlen and the rest from violence, should they persist in holding the meeting, as to carry out the instructions they had received. Happily, no bretv-th of the peace occurred. Finlen was followed a considerable distance from Clerkenwell by a crowd of boys and girls shouting " Fenian ! Fenian !" Inspector Potter sent some constables after Finlen to pro. tect him. The Nation and Irishman both publish the following letter, purporting to have been written by Colonel Kelly, with reference to the Clerkenwell outrage :--- " London, Dec. 17, 1867. `` Sir,—l ask permission to m a ke a short appeal to our much-outraged countrymen through your columns, inas much as a former appeal of mine to Irishmen in general seems to be disregarded within the past week. " While I must admit the difficulty of remaining pas sive at this time, and of refraining from some deter mined expression of resentment against the horrible out rage perpetrated against the whole Irish race by the Manchester exQeutions, yet once again I must urge that that outarge w as l eve lled by the oligarchy against their victims as inuch for being democrats as for being Irishm(m. "In my letter, copied into your paper recently, expressed my heartfelt satisfaction that that sad event had not resulted in setting Irish against English as such, nor Catholic.against Protestant, which I solemnly believe to be the result aimed at in the Manchester executions. I had hoped to make the sad affikir a means of cementing the alliance between the democracy of both countries, for the oppressors well know that such a consummation would be their death-knell ; but if, regardless of our alliance with the English organised democracy, over-zealous but late accessions to the national ranks persist in acting regard less of national policy and what we owe our English brethren, and injudiciously awl injuriously vent their wrath in isolated destruction of private property, it re mains but for me once more to reprobate such a course as_ doing the work of the common enemy. "1 can well understand such a course - being adopted by our organised enemies, governmental and otherwise, or by thieves for the purpose of - plunder, but not to be adopted at the hands of friends, who should not fail to see, as our enemies do, that it throws a doubt on our pledges to our English brethren. " - Our quarrel is not with the English people, but with their oppressors and ours. The oligarchy now know this, and will not be over-scrupulous about burning a few houses in populous neighbourhoods and sowing disunion in the minds of English democrats. Policemen anxious for promotion and such like must be looked upon suspiciously, who 'may hereafter ' discover' houses i g nited by Greek fire. Such tricks might answer in Lord Geortie Gordon's time, but the oligarchy can no longer throw dust into the eyes of the democracy. Once again, then, we renew our pledge to English democracy, th a t no authcrised move movement shall takeplace in England, unless in self-defence, without the full concurrence of the English people, when, with a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, it is certain wo can effect our common disenthralment.— Yours faithfully, " T. J. KELLY, C. E. MI." The London correspondent of the Scotsman says : "There is little doubt that the police, in arresting tho four men who were brought up at Bow-street on Saturday, have broken into the very hot-bed of Fenianism in Lon don. It was in this neighbourhood that Burke lived, and in which the American-Irish took uli their abode. No one seems, however, to have thought' of putting a closer watch upon the place until the man Vaughan made his statement to the police. Other captures are expected before long. Meantime, indignation is expressed at what is called the utter inefficiency of our police system ; and it is averred that one of the subjects discussed at the Cabinet Council on Thursday was bow the system could be amended." The following telegram has been received :—" Glasgow, Sunday night.—Four hundred yards of blasting rope have been found to-night in the ash-pit near the Cowcaddens gasometer —one of the largest in the city. ' Blasting rope' is powder hid or surrounded with gutta-percha, and is an explosive agent much used by miners for blasting pur poses." Considerable consternation and excitement prevailed at Bristol on Saturday, in consequence of its becoming known that the authorities bad received information leading to the belief that some Fenian outrages were intended, and that a special meeting of the entire magistracy of the city and county had been, in consequence, hastily summoned. It would seem that the chietof the police received informa tion to the effect that a plan had been organised for at tacking siinultaneously the different works of the Bristol United Gas Light Company on the sea banks, in Avon street, St. Philip's and Jacob, and Maudlin street, St. Michael, and that advantage would be taken of the super vening darkness to attack and— by means of the notorious Fenian or Greek fire —destroy some of the public buildings and churches. The communications were for the most part anonymous, but other circumstances within the know ledge of the superintendent convinced him that he ought not to disregard them, and he acconl;ngly communicated with the mayor, Mr. Francis Adams, the magistrates' clerk, &c. , and a special meeting of the justices was forthw.th held. It was resolved to at once summon a meeting 4 f the special constables sworn in under the Municipal Act, and the meting was held, and addressed by the Mayor, who reque,ted the constables to consider themselves at once on duty, and to be ready to present themselves at the several district station-houses at the shortest notice, where the necessary arms would be given out. At nine o'clock in the evening the Mayor had another conference with the chief of police,.and precautionary measures for the night were carried out. All the gasworks were closely watched. and guarded, the police-constables on the beats were mul tiplied, and arrangements made for speedy intercommuni cation. The arms from some of the gunsmiths' shops were removed to places of greater security, and guards were .kept at the Custom House, Excise Office, banks, and some of the public offices and large factories. The next day there was another special meeting of the magis- Tates but it was understood that everything was re bOrtaZilet A.D. 1720 11 0 YAL EXCHANGE ASSURANCE CORPORQTION.

STEELE, Secretary. TilE CAPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, Dec. 22. The steamer .Norseman, with the Cape mails, has arrived here. Her dates are—Table Bay, Novem ber 20 ; St. Helena, 28th ; and Ascension, Decem ber 2. She brings 66 passengers and 32 time expired soldiers (with women and children), four packages of specie, and a cargo of wool, skins, oil, copper, hides, wines, &c. The Norseman expe rienced strong northerly winds along the coasts of Portugal, and north-westerly winds, with rain, to Plymouth. The fever at Cape Town was considered to be decreasing in the number of patients, but the type of the disease had increased in virulence, and a class of people had been attacked who had previously been comparatively free from the malady. The Go vernment and the municipal authorities were unre. mitting in their exertions to meet the emergency. The town was divided into 12 districts, to each of which a medical man was appointed to provide the poorer classes with medicines and food gratis. Drs. Gray and Brown, two of the most active medical men, had fallen victims to their exertions to arrest the epidemic. Medical reports had been sent in, which disclosed that a large part of the poor in the town were living in very filthy and generally un sanitary homes. The municipal authorities were endeavouring to remedy this. It is believed that the fever was introduced into the colony from the Mauritius. It was rumoured that the Governor, Sir P. E. Wodehouse, had been confirmed in his present appointment for a few years more instead of return ing to England by this mail, as was expected. The rumour that had prevailed that there was danger from large parties of armed Kaffirs patrol ling Witenhage had been proved groundless by Sir Walter Currie, who had visited the district with an armed force. The Orange Free State and Basuto war still existed, but there had been no further advances on either side. Both parties seemed satisfied to keep beyond gunshot of each other. Trade in' the colony was brisker, and the pro spects of harvest most favourable. The cereal crops were abundant ; the vineyards freer from oidium than for years past, and the wool clip was satisfac tory. The silk culture was progressing favourably. At the annual meeting of the Church Defence Association in connection with the Dutch Reformed Church resolutions were passed condemning the adjournment policy of the Synod, alleging that the Privy Couacil had made a mistake, and advocating the right of private judgment, and free, fearless, and unfettered inquiry. At Natal the leading topic was the confirmation of the discovery of large beds of good coal in that colony, and the Government was being urged to assist in utilising the discovery. The Colenso dispute continued, and rival con gregations were being established by Church mem bers who had left the two clergymen who had recog nised Dr. Colenso as bishop. The actions for the ejection of Dean Green and the Rev. J. Walthom from the ecclesiastical build ings they use as belonging to the Church of Eng land has come off, but judgment was not expected to be given before the end of November. The Rev. Mr. Crompton has forwarded to the Colonial Secretary a voluminous despatch referring to his cancelled commission as justice of the peace for his interference in the Colenso dispute. . Her Majesty's ship Hydra, from Malta, the Spiteful, from Montevideo, and the hired screw transports Queen of the South and Mauritius had arrived at the Cape en route for Bombay, on the Abyssinian expedition. The Saida and Nor folk, hired screw coal transports, had also arrived at the Cape. The mail steamer Celt arrived out on the 12th of November. Her Majesty's ship Bristol left Ascen sion on the Ist of December for England via Sierra Leone. The Landrail was to leave on the same voyage December 5. The Norseman pasged the outward bound Brazil mail packet Oneida, in lat. 40 N., long. 12 W., on the 15th of December. TILE POOR-LAW BOARD.—The Poor-Law Board have appointed Mr. Joseph John Henley,of Shirburn-lodge, Oxfordshire, to be a Poor Law Inspector, in the room of Dr. Edward Smith, who relinquishes his district to take charge of the medical department at the office of the Peer Law Board. Mr. Henley has up to the present time been acting as a commissioner for inquiring into the condition of women and children employed in agriculture.
