THE FENIAN INSURRECTION.

The Dublin correspondent of a Sunday contemporary
telegraphs yesterday that the military and polioe have
been again kept all night at their quarters in a state of
preparedness for any emergency that might arise owing
to some apprehension that a Fenian gathering was con-
templated near Rathfarnham, but their services
happily had not been required. Lord litrathnairn
reports that he does not require any more troops to
be sent over from England. Telegrams from Tipperary
bring intelligence that the troops were sent last night to
the Devil's-bit Mountain, fifteen miles north of that
Sown, against a large body of insurgents reported to
have been seen in the district. Their number is stated at
three thousand. No collision has yet occurred. Three
pointsinen on the Great Southern and Western line of
railway, supposed to be leagued with the Fenians, were
arrested yesterday. The telegraph wires on the Wicklow
Railway, for the third time, were cut in several places
last night. Owing to the timely appearance of the military,
the attack on the Ballinoollig Powder Mills seems to have
been abandoned. The report is confirmed that the Carabi-
neers shot five Fenian' nest Palls*. Masses of insurgents
continue on the hill-side near the Limerick Junction station.
About two hundred Pentium marched yesterday through I
Kilmacthomas, county Waterford. They took and paid
for provizions, preserving a dogged silence as to their im-
mediate route. Hail, sleet, and snow, with a fierce east
wind, prevailed throughout nearly all the disturbed dis-
tricts. A flying column of infantry, engineers, and mili-
tary train has been sent to Limerick Junction from the
Curragh.

Judge O'Brien, in opening the commission for Cork city
on Friday, referred to the Fenian rising. He said
it was difficult to conjecture with what hopes or ob-
jects the rebels had taken a course which could only
end in destruction to themselves and their families.
The full weight of punishment would be speedily brought
down upon the offenders. In opening the commisson at
Clonmel on the same day Mr. Justice George also referred
to the outbreak, and expressed regret that similar congra-
' tulations to that which the condition of the country bad I
enabled the judges of assize to offer to the grand juries
of other counties through which they had passed could
not be tendered in that district. He further alluded
to the composition of the rebel forces—none, he said, ,
but shop boys and the lower class of labourers'
having joined the movement, the agricultural coin-
munity, on the other hand, having given it no I
countenance, nor taken any part in it. A meet-
ing of the Corporation of Dublin was held on Fri-
day, when the Lord Mayor, who was in the chair, brought
under the notice of the house the present state of the
country. His lordship considered that the council should
not separate until they had given some expression of loyalty •
and attachment to the crown, and regret at the insane at-
tempts on the part of many of their misguided countrymen
to create an insurrection. Some discussion arose as to the i
right of members to move a resolution, which was finally
conceited to Alderman itl`Swiney, whose resolution was
seconded by Alderman Plunkett. An amendment was
moved by Mr. Vereker, seconded by Mr. Barrington, on
the ground that the allusion in the original resolution to
grievances in Ireland was irrelevant, and should not be
approved by the house. A lengthened discussion took ,
place on the question, and ultimately a resolution which
was moved by Sir John Gray was adopted by the meeting.

ALHAMBRA PALACE. Mr. F. Strange, the
managing director of the Alhambra Company (Limited),
will take his annual benefit at the Alhambra Palace on
Wednesday next. The large orchestra of the establish-
ment will on this occasion be increased to 150 performers,
the chorus to about SO singers, and the musical part of the
prognunme will be nearly doubled. The tonal millets will
be given, and the performances (by permission) will be
extended to a later hour.

[TWOPENCE

ADDRESS TO THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY.

The following address, signed by 65 clergymen
of the diocese, has been forwanled to the Bishop of Sas-

-'`To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Salisbury.
" We, the undersigned clergy of your lordship's diocese,
desire to express to your lordship the deep anxiety and
alarm with which we contemplate the rapid of
ritualistic practices in our church, tending and torgkin-
tended, as we are persuaded they are, to introduce certain
errors of the church of Rome which were renounced at the
reformation, and which are plainly and strongly con-
demned by our church in her articles and elsewhere.
" In particular, we believe it is designed by these prac-
tices to teach the doctrine of the real bodily presence of
our Lord in the Bread and Wine of the Lord's Supper
contrary to the declaration of the 28th Article, which says,
' The Body of Christ is taken and eaten in the Supper,
only after an heavenly and spiritual manner, and the mean
whereb7 the body of Christ is received and eaten in the
Supper is Faith.'

bernsiit7e7lwith this is the grievous error—no less de-
cidedly condemned by our church—of offering adoration
to our Lord as corporally present in the consecrated
ele-
ments, concerning which our church declare, that No
' adoration is intended, or ought to be done, either unto
the sacramental bread or wine there bodily received, -or
unto any corporal presence of Christ's natural flesh and
blood, for the sacramental bread and wine remain still in
their very natural substances, and therefore may not be
adored (for that were idolatry to be abhorred of all faithful
Christians), and the natural body and blood of our Savir
Christ are In heaven and net here, it being against On
truth of Christ's natural body to be at one time in more
places than one.' (See Declaration at the end of the Com-
munion Service.)
"In this ritualistic movement we also view with alarm
the endeavour to change the character of the Christian
ministry into that of a sacrificing priesthood. We believe
that by ordination we become 'the ministers of Christ,
and stewarda of the mysteries of God,' but not sacrificing
priests.
"My Lord, —We remembering the solemn charge of
God's word, that we should 'earnestly contend for the
faith once delivered unto the saints,' and the promise
which we made at our ordination, ' with all faithful dili-
(mos to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange
doctrines, contrary to God's word,' do most solemnly pro-
test against every attempt to Romauise the simple and
scriptural liturgy of our church. We are sure that it is
not the part of upright men who have subscribed to her
Articles to make any such attempt, either openly or
covertly. We believe it to be the bounden duty, before
God and man, of every clergyman who hefts doctrines
condemned by our church, to cease to minister in a church
in which he cannot minister with fidelity to her principles.
We believe that the common sense of Englishmen, and of
all men, would be with us in this view of their daty.
" We implore your lordship to use your authority and in-
fluence to resist the ritualistic movement, and we earnestly
pray that our God will be with you in the discharge of your
onerous and responsible duties, and that he will give you
wisdom and courage to maintain the true doctrine and pure
i worship of our reformed church against all attempts to
corrupt them.—With much respect, your lordship's faith-
ful and humble servants."

" Palace, Salisbury, Feb. V..
" Dear Mr. Prebendary,—ln the address which has
reached me to-day from yourself and 64 clergymen of my dio-
wee, you protest every attempt to Romanis* the
simple and scriptural of our church,' and you add,
' we believe it to be the bounden duty, before God and man,
of every clergyman who holds doctrines condemned by our
church to cease to minister in a church in which he cansot
miniiter with fidelity to her principles.' These words express
my own convictions as well as yours. My object has ever
been to teach the doctrine, negative and positive, which is
embodied in the formularies of our church, taking all
those formularies in their literal, natural, and historical

sense ; and I feel sure that my clergy, as 'a body, have no
other aim. My answers to other addresses, bearing the
signatures of fourteen of those who have signed the pre-
sent one, and which having been published, you have all
therefore probably seen, will account for my not entering
to-day into the details of the communication I am now
acknowledging. I will only add that if the reassertion by
convocation of the principle of deference to those in
authority over them is to influence all the clergy of the
church of England, they must learn well themselves, as
well as teach their flocks, the special lesson taught them
by their church on next Sunday, via, Quinquagesima
Sunday. When you publish your address, I should wish
that this answer to it should appear at the same time.—
I remain, your faithful brother, " W. K. SAHL:M.
" To the Rev. Prebendary Hastings."

bearing the follow ing inscription, as suggested
by the deceased —" Charles; F. I:rowne, aged

intelligent lad, shall be put to a printer's--the first in
America—for two years, "to learn the value of
ing," and to find out what he has missed ; awl that after.
wants he shall receive a collegiate education. The poo-
-1 porty bequeathed to Mr. Brown's mother is on her death

and decayed printers, of whose craft he was. He bas
appointed as his executors Mr. T. W. Holed son and Mr.
E. P. Hingston ; the latter accompanied Lim in his travels,
and has been for some time his secretary.
