On Monday Mr. Brand will move for a new
writ for Heston.
It has already been determined to raise a memo-
rial fund in honour of the late Mr. Henry Hoare, whose
death w.is announced on Tuesday, and the scheme has
received the full approval of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
It has not been decided to what specific object the fund to
be raised shall be applied, but the proposal which at pre-
sent finds most favour is a suggestion that scholarships
shall be founded for encouraging young men to devote their
attention to those ecclesiastical and religious subjects
which the deceased gentleman had so much at heart. Mr.
Hoare was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge,
where he graduated in 1827, when he was fifteenth
wrangler. Mr. Hoare was married in 1836 to Lady Mary,
the daughter of the second Earl of Romney.

A FENIAN CIRCULAR.—The New York papers
publish the following:—" Headquarters Fenian Brother-
hood, New York, April 5, 1866.—T0 the Fenian Brother-
hood,—Brothers, it is my duty to announce to you the
arrival in Paris of James Stephens, C.E.1.R., and to
prepare you for his corning to the United States. Four
days previous to his leaving Ireland he despatched a
special envoy to me, your head centre, with instructions
to publish the following facts as soon as it became oer-
trin that he had reached the French capital in safety :-
1. He informs the American and Irish-American public,
through me, that he left the organisation in Ire/ and
in as good • condition as it hag been since the re-
cent Fenian scandals had begun in America and had
cast • gloom over the hopes of all true lovers of free-
dom ; and that he had placed the reins of his govern-
ment in the hands of competent, devoted, andlwell tried
leaders, to direct it during his temporary absence.
2. That he went to Paris on most important business con-
nected with the present struggle for Irish nationality, and
not because be had been forced thereto by the enemy. 3.
He is now coming to the United States for the p of
restoring harmonious counsel and well con action
among all true friends of Ireland on the American con-
tinent, to reconcile all discordant elements, and to make
a last appeal for his suffering country to all
liberty -loving men throughout the world. His stay
will be bet short In our midst. Let Qs receive his
advent to these shores as his patriotic devotedness, his
high talents, and stern fidelity deserve. May dire discords
and hateful jealousies vanish from among us at his ap-
proach. Kay they come thenceforth and forever to be the
fell and constantly recurring destroyers of our hopes for
national rearms:Aim—l remain, in fraternity, your faith-
ful servant, Joint Olfauoirr, H.C.F.8."
