Here in England there has been the trial of the Fenian prisoners accused of causing the Clerkenwell explosion • b ut. MICHAEL BARRETT only, of . the nine persons has been con victed and sentenced to death. A • vigorous effort was made to prove an alibi in his favour. Three shoemakers from Glasgow testified that on the 13th December, the day of the explosion, BARRETT was in that town, and therefore could not have been in London. Mr. M`Nuvry had not only brought to him a pair of boots for repairs on the 13th, but had called the next day, annoyed at not receiving his boots ; when the fortunate entrance of two shoe makers, each of whom set to work on a boot, enabled BARRETT to get the Lib completed. The circumstance was all the more impressed on his mind as BARRETr took a paper and read aloud the narrative of the explosion. Here was a substantial alibi, but it failed in bringing home to the judge, jury, or any one else, the impression of truth. Before sentence of death was passed on BARRETT he addressed to the court a very effective speech, in which he reviewed the evidence, and touched with withering scorn on the approver MIJLLANY :—" Ilic indeed.is. a life that no one will, envy,: and. Avery one, even the most abandoned, will despise him. The k ir.ety parties 'to - natv upon .him and,have ;r7. , coiciise.. to him will'spUru him:: A thmisand, times:! , wore` welcome is death 'to a, criminal - ,cJIIV)Ctei of ,:the 'highest crime than life and so-called libertiat the-Sacrifice of everYthing , that .that: to elevate the human' being and renders him worthy the name of man." He spoke of the lova he bore his native country, asserting that he would willingly and gladly give his life if by that means he could redreSs the wrongs of that persecuted land. Turn ing again, however, to the evidence of his com panion MULLANY, he d..:clared—" If there was one thing, more than another required to com plete the degradation of Irishmen it is what has happened in this Court. Au Irishman's oath will no longer be admitted in a court of justice where the life of a fellow-creature is at stake. This is, indeed, a crowning indignity and a crushing humiliation." After expressing a fervent wish that Irishmen will never cease to attempt to shake off that yoke which has so long depraved and degraded them, until the freedom of their country or the ex tinction of their race shall be complete, he thanked his Lordship for his patient hearing, his counsel for their able defence, and announced that he would ascend the scaffold with firmness, preferring that to life with the brand of Cain. He was consoled with the reflection that the stain of murder does not rest Upon him. It is singular to remark the bearing as sumed by the Fenian prisoners in these trials. It shows how invincible is habit and training ; and how completely a man may be wedded not only to error, but to the approval of plain and unvarnished crime. Seliom has a more reckless aid shocking outrage been committed than that of Clerkenwell. Seldom has a more senseless, causeless, and vicious assassina- tion been attempted than that of the Captain of th 3 Galatea. A street composed of frail tenements of the poor was, through BARIZETT'S agency, when filled with inmates, shattered into ruin on the chance of releasing two prisoners —in Australia the Fenian assassin shoots at a post-captain in the Navy, a young man universally liked and respected, and who has spent the most active part of his career at sea, simply because this sailor happened to be the son of the QUEEN. We can understand the murder of Mr. APGEE ; not only was he a leading statesman of the dominion, but he was a very awkward instance for the conspirators of change of senti ment coming from riper and more general knowledge. As a boy he had drunk deeply of the froth and effervescence of the cup which for the most part makes up Irish patriotism, and he had found, when he began to analyse the ingredients, that it was producing a momentary exhilaration and—madness. lie was too honest not to work on such conviction ; he was too able and energetic not to make his work tell ; and he was too true an Irishman even for the Fenians to be able to sneer away what he said as the words of a traitor, or of the English oppressor. The demagogues in New York, who earn a handsome living by the conge nial mode of conspiracy, could find in the removal of Mr. M'GEE an object worth plotting for ; and it appears that the only Fenian bullet that ever reached the right mark was in the case of the Cana dian statesman. It must have been an extraordinary circumstance, and to the servant following his master home, a lucky accident, that he was not shot instead. Wherever Fenians have been brought to the bar, Fenian informers have always appeared in the witness-box. The tone assumed by the condemned is uniformly the same, and we freely confess, little as we like their acts, that there is in their bearing a certain degree of nobility. Three points have invariably been made—the degradation and oppression of their country, the purity of their patriotism, and their willingness sto die, if the gift of their lives can in any way save Ireland. They have assumed the tone of martyrs sacrificed by bloodthirsty oppressors, and while they have consigned the traitorous brethren who have given evidence against them to a life of ignominy, to be the outcasts of society, the object of the raised finger of hatred and scorn, they have declared that they would firmly meet their fate on the gallows, forgiving all who had been instrumental in bringing them to an untimely end. To listen, is to suppose that you are in the presence of a WALLACE or a TELL, and it shows to what extent false teaching and error may delude. The first question is what are the injuries of which these men complain ? There is an inveterate belief abroad that the laws framed for Ireland differ from the laws framed for England, which is often naively shown ; as, for instance, when some English and Scotch were brought before a French Prefect for fighting in Paris. " I could understand," said the magis- trate, " Englishmen and Irishmen fighting, but not English and Scotch, who live under the same laws, and have therefore nothing to fight about." What the Irish conspire for is to live under different laws, not the same, that being the object for which the English strive. England has no other aim than to obliterate every trace of difference between the most Irish of the Irish and themselves. The oppre.3- sion, of the Irish is the attempt to elevate them into a perfect equality with the other portions of the empire. It may be that what suits the Anglo- Saxon does not buit the Celt; but to call the mild and equitable rule under which they live oppres sion is a gross perversion of terms. Now what are the crimes of_which these patriots have been convicted ? Generally murder in its worst form, and with it most dangerous objects; to up - set society, to disorganize a leading kingdom of the world, and that affording every opportunity for cbtainiug by legal means redress for any real grievance. These men use the liberty which the laws of their country gives against that country to stab it in the most vital place, and CONTRACT FOR HAIR FELT.

Such crimes as the Clerken well explosion—the attempt on the life of the Duke of EDINBURGH—and the murder of Mr. M'GEE are hateful beyond expression ; yet we have had BARRETT'S speech, in which he claims the dignity of a martyr, and we will probably have WHELAN and O'FARREL, if they can speak, follow ing in the same strain. This we regret, for it tends to neutralize the good their detEstable crimes ac complish ; diverting the attention of the ignorant from the real nature of these unprovoked massacres, which otherwise would make the Fenian conspiracy one of the most hateful organizations that ever. warred against society. No words, however, can undo the deeds of an O'FARREL and of a BARRETT ; the sense of fair play is too deeply implanted in mankind to allow of any explanation for the attempted murder of her MAJESTY'S son, and the wholesale slaughter of the poor people of Clerkenwell. The young Prince is the sufferer in common with these victims ; but the bullet, from the fatal effects of which he so providentially escaped, was a disastrous shot for Fenianism. Its work is to bring forth strong feelings of loyalty even where they lie most dormant. There are thousands who regard with envy the Royal Family, as elevated above the evils which afflict mankind—a delusion instantly dispelled by the incident which makes a man at the outset of his career alm)st pay with his life for being the son of a Queen. Although un aware of the weary work which falls to the lot of persons so nearly connected with royalty they can appreciate fully the danger, aiid give their hearty support to those exposed to assassination, because they are the Princes of their kingdom. News by the Russia from Cauala in a measure confirms the report that to O'FARREL fell the lot to assassinate the Prince, as it is asserted in Canada that evidence has been discovered which proves that the murder of Mr. M‘GEE was planned by 40 Fenians, that lots were cast as to who should execute the deed, and that the lot fell to WHELAN. Anglo-Anzerkan Times. POLISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY, THE EASTERN QUESTION. On Saturday last a meeting of the Polish Historical Society, a branch of a similar institution founded in Paris 3i. dears ago, and presided over by Prince Ladislas Czar . tor:yski, wits held .at Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. JainoS's, at which a deputation from Paris, headed by the Prince, attended. Owing to this circumstance a number of the fricnds of Poland in this country, among whom were the following—The Marquis Towusheud, the Earl of Har rowty, Lord Houghton, Lord Campbell, Sir IL Verney, Bart., M.P., Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Edmond Battles, Mr. Edward Johnstone, Mr. W. Adams Smith, Mr. W. L. Birkbeck, and the Rev: Dr. Worthington honoured the meeting with their presence. Major Szul czewski, Vico-President, 'occupied the chair, and having given a cursory sketch of the formation and the labours of the Historical Society .in Paris, which, iu connection with an extensive Polish library, have, by au in imperial decree, been enrolled among the institutions of public utility in France, ° congratulated his coun'rymen on the honour of the anniversary meeting being this year cele brated in London in the presence of their distinguished President. Prince L. CZARTORYSKI then address_d the meeting as follows: —Having been deputed by the Polish Historical Society of Paris to represent it before you on the occasion i I of our memorable anniversary of the 3d of May, permit me to recall the name of him whose place I have come to take before you, to render homage to the memory of General Count L. Zainoyski, an homage duo to his noble spirit, and well deserved by his great and numerous ser vices. It is the first occasion on which we meet, since he has departed from us in the country which has always been among the foremost to advocate the cause of justice, and which will assuredly do nothing to forfeit its old reputation. It seems, unfort inately, impossible for us gentlemen, to meet without speaking of new. sorrows and acts of injustice. By a simple ukase, the Russian Gov ai ment has just destroyed the last trace of the stipulations made in our favour of the Treaties of Vienna. Doubtless, we have never been enthusia.tic supporters of these treaties. They were concluded without Polish co-opera tion, and against Polish interests ; and they were the first to recognise and sanclon, under the signature of all Europe, the partition of Poland. We could not regard them as the only title-deeds of our rights, or the only basis of our legitimate claims. Ten centuries of a glorious existence, and the undeniable evidence of our constant vitality, notwithstanding incessant atte:npts to destroy us, aro titles higher than any diplomatic arrangement. And yet by these treaties of 1815, Europe guaranteed the maintenance of the Polish name and nation, and the signa tary States pledged themselves, not only towards us, but especially to ono other, to the faithful execution of these stipulations. We Poles loudly protest, without awaiting the protests of those whose right and duty it is to do so, against this flagrant violation of a solemn contract; this insolent defiance by Russia of the Powers, and this supreme attack on our ancient rights, being certain of a hearing from all just and generous men, and trusting in the future. After this last blow which has bean dealt to Poland it would seem that our situation has never been more sad or desperate. At home our country is covered with ruins, our countrymen are dispersed or crushed by the inexorable policy of our oppressors, and our institu tions perish and disappear. Abroad, our enemies triumph and our friends are discouraged. Wall, gentlemen, not withstanding this apparently disastrous state of affairs — notwithstanding the painful trials through which we are passing—l declare (at the same time knowing that I re spond to the feeling of every Pole) that we do not despair ; that never have we had less cause to despair. Ripened and instructed by the experience of misfortune, even in the midst of our present disasters we can exclaim, " The time is at hand !" Indeed, our cause, which will not and cannot perish, while changing its character, is at this moment acquiring a new importance. The alliance of the three Powers which hav e p ar titi one d our country— an alliance cemented by crime, and designated as "Holy," by a strange irony of fate, and which encompassed us by a circle of iron— has been broken. It was shaken by the constant policy of ono Power, and has finally fallen to pieces under the pressure of the late events in Germany. Austria, understanding at last the mistakes of her past policy, has renounced all solidarity with her old accom plices, and turns towards us. Henceforward we have but two enemies—two oppressors —and we have become accessible to our friends. Austria, reconciled to us and the West, opens of her own initiative a breach in the impregnable fortress which confined us, and already we , feel the beneficial influence of a freer atmosphere. While Russia burns to destroy the very foundations of our civi- lisation and our national existence, and excites against us the brutal passions and anti-social instincts of her igno rant and barbarous population—while Prussia, consolidat ing and extending her new power in the name of the principle of nationalities, violates this same principle in Poland, and, notwithstanding her present greatness, does not disdain to Continue playing the servile and shameful part of an ally of Russian oppression—Austria lets us breathe freely in Galicia, and seems sincerely disp - )sed to grant a real autonomy to that province. Galicia has now become our lastigand only refuge. In the whole of the territory of ancient Poland it is the only province whore we can speak, write, and act as Poles, but these new rights also impose upon us new duties. LA us show that we know how to use wisely the blessings of liberties and national rights when they are restored to us frankly and without arriere-pertsee. Hitherto our oppressors have not failed to represent us as ungovernable. Some say that we do not deserve liberty because we a)use it as soon as it is given us, and others that, in desiring the restoration of our country, we only wish for a re-establishment of obso lete privileges and abuses which were formerly common to all the nations of Europe. But, need I add, that it is not only the Governments that oppress us, and their organs, which hold this language. The German nation, now so much favoared by success—so near the limit of its desires, so prosperous and so satisfied, whos e exis tence and interest we neither • threaten nor think of threatenin,g—has not yet felt it iu its conscience to be just towards us. Happy herself, she knows not how to respect our m'sfortunes. Whenever Poland is in question the German holds out his hand to th 3 Russian. Their his torians write volume after volume for the purpose of proving the necessity of the partitions of our country, and theimpossibility of its restoration ; their speakers and publicists seldom fail to address us with insult and abuse. Their press is the complaisant echo of Russian calumnies, which are accepted as doctrine by their professors, and are taught in the schools. This intelligent nation misuses its intelligence to describe us as a to:id:ward people, without political feeling, incapable of Self-governalont, condemned by destiny to servitude an 1 death ; and it seems to take a particular pleasure in depriving us of all hope. This constant injustice, without reason or motivo—an injustice especially odious in a nation to which we neither wish nor do any harm—is vary painful to u s: it saddens us; i butt should, abave all, salden the Germans themselves. Na tions which are powerful and civilised should also be just and generous, and not in the midst of their power lower themselves to mean, and potty sentiments which can only PERFECTION IN DENTISTRY.

Russia, grown larger and re peaverrtel i lele s e e turn against her n e i g hb our, an d already ehnetre-in- German provinces, what system she will pirlue tardiS the German race ea soon as she can dispense with its aid. As for us, we have now in Galicia both the opportunity and the means for a noble revenge. Let us prove by a >) wise administration of our affairs that we are perfectly capable of goveruiug ourselves; let us show It our conduct that wo are not without political feeling ; let us establish harmony between all the classes of society, elevate and instruct the masses, and labour ardently to develope the 'tutorial and moral resources of the country; so shall wo triumph over the prejudices of sincere men. As for those who, from dislike for us, at tempt our humiliation, our conduct will silence them. NQr let us forget that our national life is concentrated in Guy and that we ought to use the rights and liberties which the Austrian Government restores to us in order to refresh and fortify the national spirit, so as to prep ire it for a higher and better fate. That province is the centre round which the other parts of Poland will group them selves. Far from opposing the interests of the Austrian monarchy, or exposing it to danger, or even to weakness we should, on the contrary, become an element of strength to her. And here, gentlemen, we return to the ancient tradition of our history, and resume our position as the advanced guard of western civilisation. Our cause is now no longer simply a question of pure sympathy and senti ment, a question of abstract right and justice, as people have hitherto regarded it. It has become a question of general interest for civilised Europe, a question of practi cal necessity and political utility. It has ceased to bo sort of island in the midst of other questions—isolated, ex clusively Polish, and attached to no other. We are no longer alone in this world ; we have natural allies ; our interests are bound up with other interests which are threatened by the same enemies; we enter like a link into a political system which must be defended and maintained. It is beginning to be pretty generally understood, in con sequence of the events of 1866, that the intimate union which has subsisted for a century between Prussia and Russia ; the former power absorbing Germany, and the latter attracting the Slavonians, is a menace and a danger for the rest of Europe. People are beginning to see that, in order to dissolve this fatal union, in order to separate for ever these two powers, it is necessary to dis join them territorially, and place between them an inter mediate state—either a powerful empire which would re unite in a single group the nations between the Vistula and the Adriatic, or two States firmly united to each other, one on the Vistula, and the other on the Danube. But the danger which comes from Russia is more immediate than, the distant consequences of the fatal union of that Power ;with Prussia. The unexpected revelation of a Russian propaganda among the Slavonians of Austria and Turkey, the Panslavist manifestations of the ethno graphical congress at Moscow, have suddenly exposed to the West the aggressive designs of Russia. We have long been aware of them, and anxiously followed their alarm ireg progress. But people would not believe us ; we were charged with exaggeration, and laughed at as a politica Cassandras. Emboldened by success, Russia no leapr conceals her idea of a Slavonic centralised agglomeration, uniting in a docile mass more than a hundred millions of people under a single hand—that of an absolute despot, A light has also fallen on the tendencies of the "young Russian party," which urges the Government to expand the empire abroad, and on its hostility to all Western civilisation. In presence of these threatening symp toms, it is beginning to be understood that the neot t mince and consolidation of a powerful empire on the Danube is a political necessity of the first importance for Europe, and for the civilisation of the West. It is not surprising that in these circumstances the Poles, seen-a ciled with Austria, and secured by her iu the free develop ment of their natural life, should find it their duty au•l wish to maintain that empire sincerely, and by all Oa s means iu their power. In seeing them so useful to her common interests, Europe will be necessarily led to con sider in the rest )ration of their country the in lispenseble complement of the preservation of Austria, and the most efficacious guarantee against Russian invasion. In order to accomplish this high and eminently European task the Pules ought frankly to assist their natural allies ; they ought to unite intimately with the nation on which hence forward must chiefly rest the fortunes of the great E tsts,rn Empire. Hungary, that illustrious and noble nation, has been conquered an.] has suffered like ourselves, but it has risen again greater than ever, and seams called to a high position iu that part of Elrop s S:l3 has lead a past as glorious as ours, and an historical mission sim:lar to ours. She has had to fight Elio same enemies and to de fend the same interests as ourselves, and her fate has more than once been bound up with that of our country. A natural and instinctive sympathy always attracted, and stil attracts, one of these nations to the other. Though different in origin they are singularly alike in character, in customs, in.social organisation, and in their ancient in stitutions. Both have been from time to time iminena )rial animeted with an ardent love for liberty —that liberty which Christianity has given us -a noble and just liberty, that fertilises society and elevates the individual —that liberty of which we may say that we are the representat rues, and, in some sort, the incarnation ; for it is for her that we fight and suffer. United in the past, and mixines, barely twenty years ago their blood on the same battle fields, the Hungarians an 1 the Poles aro now again united by the same interests, threatened by the same dan gers, and enveloped in the same hostility of their common adversaries. The Russians and their friends always unite these two names in their attacks and invectives. It seems that Providence now calls Item these two nations to re - sumo their former mission, again to become the bulwarks of Europe and western civilisation against Russia. It is on this basis, and for this cause—that of a common means of defence against Russia—that we should offer our air ance to the Hungarians, and come to au intimate under standing with them. But this union neither can nor ought to be unconditional ; on the . contrary, it should be made on precise and well-defined terms. We should frankly lay down our condition; for we cannot forget that we aro Slavonians, and that we have duties to perform to th peoples who are our brothers. The Russians do not cease to disparage us as enemies of the Slavonians, as traitors to their cause, as Judases in the midst of the great Slavo nic family, but we can affirm that we are their true and disinterested friends. We have the right to say so, for we wish for their real prosperity, and we are the implacable adversaries of their absorption ; we alone among the Sla vonians know what Russia is, and what destiny awaits those who trust in her promises. Like the siren of ancient fable, she seduces them by her honeyed words, and hid ing her snares, attracts only to destroy. Taking advan tage of their political inexperience, their impatience, and their animosities, she urges them to that unhappy sys tem of political abstinence, of absolute negation and of extravagant demands, which impedes the work of the consolidation of Austria; flattering their atnbition and their self-love, she promises them a Czech kingdom, a Servian kingdom, a Bulgarian kingdom, and cajoles them with dreams of a future greateese, which they are to find in their union with the northern Colossus. She wishes to persuade them that they belong to a new and distinct world, bettor and greater than that of the West ; that they are, together with herself, the representatives of a new civilisation ; that under her direction they are called upon to regenerate Europe, which is now in her dotage. She tempts them by brilliant prospects of universal dominion, which, she says, will be theirs• if they will accept her as their guide. Our duty, as Poles, is to withdraw byall the means at our command the Slavonians from the snares which surround them, to tear them from the arms of Rus sia, to preserve them for the civilisation of the West. We should endeavour to reconcile them with the empire whose members they are, and to induce them to aban lon the barren policy of abstention. We should undertake the task of mediating between them and the Hungarians, and of reuniting thorn to the civilisation of the West. But in order to do this, and to fulfil the duties imposed upon us by such an undertaking, it is necessary that we should raise on high the flag of provincial and national autonomy. Without asking for political conceSsions, which might in jure the unity, integrity, or strength of the empire, we should firmly insist, both on our own b3half and on that of the other Slavonisms, on a frank and extensive a,,lini nistrative autonomy, comprising all that is indispensable for the free development of national life. *hat we desire for ourselves in Galicia we loudly and resolutely demand for the Czechs, Croats, and Servians. We do not doubt that the Hungarians will find those condi tions perfectly natural and accapta'ale. Wo believe them to be sincere in their promises to the Slavonians. They do not possess the absorbing and denationalising spirit of the Germans, that minuteness of mind which descends to details, penetrates everywhere, and attaches itself to lan guage, education, and petty local matters in order to Ger manise and occupy everything. The Hungarians are more liberal and generous in their conduct; they will know how to give frankly and without arriere-peaae, and will not think of withdrawing by degrees what they have given . We can therefore hold out our hands to them without scruple, and without fear of being wanting in our duty to our Slavonian brothers. We can and ou g ht to join them, in view of the struggle which may any day commence.
