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 iuto the colony from the Mauritius. WESTO N'S GRAND MUSIC HALL, HOLBORN.

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 lyitenhage had been proved groundless by Sir Waltvr Currie, who had vizited the district with au armed force. The Orange Free State and Basuto war still existed, but there had been no further advances on either side. Both parties e,,emed satisfied to keep beyond gunshot of each other. Trade in the colony was brisker, and the pro spects of harvest moat favourable. cereal crops were abundant; the vineyards freer from oidiura 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 Council bad made a mistake, and aivo3ating 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 hia 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 fblk, 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 passed the outward bound Brazil mail packet . Oneida, in lat. 40 N., long. 12 \V., on the 15th of December. THE 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 tho Pool 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. rADTERTIgEMENT.j - Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Sure Relief—The weak and enervated suffer severely from nervous affections when storms or electric disturbances agitate the atmosphere. -Neuralgia, gouty pains, and fly ing pains, very distressing to a delicate system, may be readily remove by rubbing this ointment upon the affected part after it has been fomented with warm water. The pills taken occasionally, in the doses prescribed by the instructions, keep the digestion in ardor, excite a free flow of healthy bile, and regenerate the impoverished 'blood with richer materials extracted from the food, resulting from thoroughly assimilated nutriment, wanting which, the strongest must inevitably soon sink into feebleness, and the delicate find it difficult to maintain existence.

The . Rev. Patrick O'Cr :hen, at . .en o'clock mass at St. Anselm's, Lincoln's-inn-fields, addressed his congregation, severely condemning secret societies in general, and Fenianism in par icular. The rev. gentleman in the course of its sermon pointed out the nature and character A the censures promedgated by the decrees of the Catholic Church against secret societies, and warned iii hearers that by the fact of belonging to a secret society lo or she was excommunicated ipso facto, and could re. .I.ive neither the sacred rites of the Church nor absolution :rim any priest, even though on the bed of death. Ire :.loiracteriscd these societies as compositions of evil, and tifc men Aviv) (directed them as cruel, trracherans, and cowardly, n worth y tha con once, respect, or asso zia ti on •of any go , sl member of society. The rev. preacher vehemently denounced the diabolical outrage of Friday w-ck, and warned his bearers that if the threats a; . •ainit law and property, the threats of burning do• in blowing up public and private establishments, were persevered in and carried out in a few instances, the great bulk of the Irishmen in England, who he was proud to say were as hones-, as trustworthy, and as loyal as 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 rev, 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 ,hrough this very thing. The employers of labour will begin t , l look upon it as unsafe—and justly so, I am bound to say —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 to this entrapped many of the young men about, but it was increasing, and unless crushed out at once would prove calamitous for soul and body. Under O'Connell and the faithful and well-tried bishops and priests of Ireland, whq were as ready now as ever they wcre'to lay down their lives for their flocks, the Irish Catholics were raised iron a condition of political serfdom to one of consti'aitional freedom, grievances and disabilities were swept away, and never was the British people and legislative body more anxious and disposed than at present to red'eess the great grievances of Ireland, unless the dastardly outrage o. Friday week, and'such like ones, mightniter or retard the legislative intentions. Two meetings were announced to be held on Clerken well-green yesterday—one at eleven o'clock, upon the invitation of Mr. Finlen, to " expose the treachery of the Fenians," and the other at three, to be composed 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 neighbourhood 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 the Man chester Murderers, which, as many of the inha'Aants 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 magistrates, acting under the advice of the Home Office, that the meetings should not be permitted to be 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 censtables, resident in the neighbourhood, remained at home in case their ser vices should be required. But few responded to Mr. Finlen'e invitation. Some dozen Irishmen were on the Green at eleven o'clock, and left it in half an hour, when Mr. Finlen bad 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 proposed chairman of the second meeting, Messrs. Mel. drum, Sweeney, and a few others, made their appearance at the corner of ClerkenWell-clese, but, ha 'g been '.apprised by Mr. Finlen of the intentions of the . they, like him, gave up the idea of persevering in their design. The projectors of the meeting walked about the green for some time, and were subjected to very uncom plimentary, if nut threatening, remarks by English I working men. The police ollicers state that the presence • of-the force was quite as nece3eary to protect Finlen and I the rest from violence, should they persist in holding the nieeting, as Co carry out the instruct. ens they hail received. Happily, no breach 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 setter, purporting to have been written by Colonel Kelly with reference to the Clerkenwell outrage :-- " London, Pee. 17, 1867. " Sir,—l ask permission to make 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 executions, yet once again I must. urge that that outarge was levelled by the oligarchy against their victims as much for being democrats as for being Irishmen. "In my letter, copied into dour paper recently, I 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 affair 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•zenlons but late accessions to the national ranks persist in acting regard less of national policy and what we owe our English brethren, and injudiciously and injuriously vent their wrath in isolated destruction of private property, it re mains but for me once mare to reprobate such a course as doing the work of the common enemy. " I 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-semi - nib - us about burning a few houses in populous neighbourhood:s 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 ignited by Greek fire. Such tricks might answer in Lord George 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, that no with( riscd move movement shall take place 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 we can effect our common disenthralment.— Ycurs faithfully, " T. J. KELLY, C.E.1.11." The London correspondent of the Scotsman says : "There is little doubt that the police, in arresting t.ho four men who were brought up at Bow-street on Saturday, have broken into the very hotbed of Fenianism in Lon don. It was in this neighbourhood that Burke lived, and iu which the American-Irish took up 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 how the system could be amended." ----- 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 Goat caddens gasom-ter—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- Considerable constemathm and excitement prevailed at Bristol on Saturday, in consequence of its becoming known - that the authorities had received information leading to the belief that some Fenian outrages were intended, and that a special meeting of the entire magistracy of the city an d county had been, in consequence, hastily summoned. It would seem that the chief of the police rc,cewed informa tion to the effect that a plan had been crgardvd for at trcking simultaneously the different wor':s of the Bristol tirnt , e‘l Gas Light Company on the sea hanks, in Avon street, St. Philip's and Jacob, and Maudlin-street, St. Michael, and thiit advant;eze would be taken of the sup-r -e,mios, dart:, t.; hy means of th .J netoricue Fenian or Greek tire, —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 accord ; ngly communic at e d with the mayor, Mr. Francis Adams, the magistrates' clerk, &c., and a special 'need': g of the j usCces was fortliw. th held. It was resolved to at once summon a meeting the special constables sw orn in under the Municipal A ct, and the meeting was held, and addressed by the Mayor, who requested 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 watche , i and guarded, the police-constables on the beats were mul tiplied, and arrangements made for speedy intereommuni =tin. 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 of f ices and large factories.

HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires , or lige, turns. They so peifectly 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.

There ought also to be 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 ccrmpa ison with Price's.

THE REAL CHARACTER OF FRvIANISIII SHOWN AT CLERKENTVELL. 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 violation 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 awl 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 condemnation. We naturally feel more shocked at a crime committed before our eyes, like that at Clerkenwell, than of the even more diabolical out rages perpetrated by the kevolution 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 are 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 halid 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. have formed them into-a political_ rower so stron that we are compelled to respect it; and they In e this power to embarrass you.

Fenianism is an organisation against society., 'which may be as easily used for Anti- American objects as Anti-English. It is a twoz.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 w:apon for working mis chief. The very essence of American politics is to separate the — A.merican 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 Dee 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 Absurtrmistake. 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 foieign object, instead of a domestie 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 enlightenel Irishmen in America were freed from the despotism.. invariably exercised by such secret conspiracies, the supporters of Fenianisin would be, reduced to a contemptible gang, whose object was simply riot and plunder. But it derives its strength from the same source that,BaoaDHEAD derived his—that is, from .-coercion, and a pressure which the leaders know so . . well•how to apply.— Aug/n-American 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 officers in writing. They are to the effect that from dusk nail daylight a guard boat is to row round each ship in Ilamoaze. 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 (ion, supplr two steam launches to cruise in the upper part of Hamoaze 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 sho 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 Ostorne. 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 seaparts and garrisous are smoothbores, or the new old 110- pounder breechloaders, all of which would be useless in the event 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. smoothbore guns, besides those in store in the expense magazine, and all other seaport and garrison towns are iu 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 trnops have been exercised in route-marching on various days, but the state of the weather has af forded no opportunity for field evolutions. Lieut.- Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Searlett, FENIANISIII. 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 mixes 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 iu 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 th)ugh 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 the highest moment to uproot, and it 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 au 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 Fenianisin, 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. gone can better appreciate such deeds than they, for they have suffered from them themselves. The secret combinations of the li.wless men the United Kingdom has sent to their shores have led to count tess murders in New York and Pennsylvania, to a terrorism in California, to riots between Irishmen and Negroes, between Irishmen and Germ Ins 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 imperinin in imperil)? We reply—lt is here working actively against society, shy 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 4gainst 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, when we become the victims of the secret machinations to which you have constrained them to resort. Our institutions I .: '
