LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 8.

MS. WHITESIDE has read in his newspaper that
the Fenian in America propose to invade Ireland
with an armed force of "at least 100,000 men,"
and that the Brotherhood have the " secret coon-
" tenauce " of Mr. SEWARD. The Bwas, and
Governor YATES and Speaker COLFAX, and innu-
merable officers of the army and navy of the
United States, have also written letters of encou-
ragement to the fraternity. Moreover, there was a
meeting of Fenian& at Chicago in December last,
when it was unanimously resolved that the govern-
ment ought at once to declare war against England,
the common enemy of Ireland and America.
Whereupon Mr. -WHITESIDE SAILS Ministers what
despatches they have received on the subject.
Mr. LAYARD'S information reads very tame and
insipid after the honourable gentleman's ex-
citing story. It seems that a certain Colonel
LEEiON, of the Army of the Potomac, having got
leave of absence, to which he was entitled, went
to Chicago, and that the Attorney-General of
Louisiana also was present at these Fenian meetings.
But the American Government, when the facto;
were brought under its notice, declined to be re-
sponsible for the acts of these persons. It is pretty
clear, from Mr. WHITESIDE'S own 11110WiDg, that
the Fenian have not much influence with the
United States Government, for whereas their de-
mand that war should be declared against England
was made last December, that Government
has been showing itself more and more friendly
to England ever since. We may very
safely conclude that when the United States
Government goes to war with us it will be
for American, and not for Irish, objects. It is
not likely that that Government will go to war to
please a body of men of foreign origin and ideas,
who are doing next to nothing for the preservation
of the Union, but are seeking to divert the strength
which should preserve the nation in its integrity
to their owu sectional purposes. Mr. WHITESIDE
ought to know better than to waste the time of
the House with cock and bull stories of the in-
vasion of Ireland by 100,000 men who are sepa-
rated from that country by 3,000 miles of sea.
The Fenian will talk of invading Ireland as long
as the Irish emigration to America goes on, but if
all the Attorney-Generals in the Union and twenty
times as many colonels as General GRANT can
spare were to join them, the loyal Irish at home
would be able, and, in cue of invasion, happy to
drive them into the sea.

PEOPLE who use their eyes must perceive that a
great deal too much has been made of this Russian
" Plague," sensation accounts of which have been
disseminated in this country, just as our continental
neighbours, having found out the truth, have reco-
vered from their first fright. That a fearful mortality
has prevailed at St. Petersburg is unhappily only
too true. But the conditions in which it has taken
its rise are known, and they are such as cannot be
said to exist in this country to such an extent as to
justify the alarm which has been too thoughtlessly
excited. The disease also is known. According to
Dr. Muncattsox, than whom no higher English
authority can be quoted, the disease is the relapsing
fever which has been known in this country
