TI, is FFN I !!;•I'...2.RECTION.

The Tim., feels bwitul to utter a caution against
too readily ts•lieving that the danger which threatened
Ireland a few hours ago has vanished. The rising has
been too well concerted, too general, too uniform in its
action and aillA for us to credit that all is over with the
repahse of a certain number of bands from various police
barracks. and with the capture ..f two or three hundred of
the rebels. The latest news does, indeed. somewhat modify
that on which the government /teems to have relied, and
there is rea.m. to conclude that we have to deal
with a very troublesome. if not a politically for-
midable, conspiracy,—one which is not likcjy to
be destroyed eaccpt by promptit mit and severity.
The fact that everywhere those whom it is Ireland's in-
terest to retain :trc fleeing the country makes it all the
more imperative that an end must he made of Fenianisni.
A special commission should sit at once. We have
played too long with treason. These people believe that
the government will not hurt them—that at the worst
they may receive a sentence of penal servitude, which is
likely to be remitted after a few yea's. It is only by
timely severity that they can be undeceived. The Com-
mander-in-Chief and his officers must also be thoroughly
supported in whatever measures may be necessary to give
security to the country.
The Post fitnla encouragement in the statement that the
Fenian leaders are not Irish gentlemen, but American
Irish, and in the proved fidelity of the soldiers and police.
The Herald calls for condign punishment and a speedy
example. There will be no more question of prosecution
for treason.felony. These prisoners, taken in arms, will
be tried for high treason. Of the rank and flle there are
already hundreds—there will soon be thousands—is the
gaols. Loral Naas has now a sterner work to do than that
which be proposed the other day when Ireland was at
peace.

The Tetegroph considers the rising as very little and
very locaL It is a consolation to find that the badly armed
bands who are roaming about do not appear to have any
very wicked designs against the life and property of private
individuals. It is better for us, at all events, to deal with
political madmen, however troublesome, than with mere
murderers and thieves. Many of them must now be un-
deceived in their sanguine expectations, and when they
find how little trust they can put in each other's fidelity
and firmness, rebellion will receive a heavier blow than any
that can be dealt it by Lord Strathnairn.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day was very moderate. There was a want of
animation in the demand for both red and white parcels.
Nevertheless, the value of all descriptions was supported.
The market was well, but not heavily, supplied with
foreign wheat, the transactions in which were on a limited
scale at late rates.

Floating cargoes of grain generally met a steady sale at
full currencies.
The supply of foreign barley was good, of English small.
For all descriptions the trade was heavy, at Monday's
reduction in value.
Malt moved off slowly, on former terms.
Oats were in good supply, and limited request, at barely
previous quotations.
Deans commanded but little attention. In prices, how-
ever, no change took place.
Peas moved off slowly at about stationary prices.
The flour trade was very quiet on former terms.
Linseed, rapeseed, and agricultural seeds met a slow
sale at late rates. Cakes were dull.

THE ARMY VTINATES.

General Peel last night, observes the nlllOl, it:4l to
face a task of excessive difficulty in asking for an in-
creased vote for the army estimates in a time of peace.
We are paying a larger sum for a smaller force, but when
we remember the increase in the mere coat of maintaining
It man and the necessity of furnishing the soldiers with
the best possible weapon of attack, we can underNtand
that this must be so. Whatever be the Kin 141 NM of our
army, it must be maintained in efficiency, even though the
convenient formula for reckoning its coat at 100/. per
man, of which General Peel w.ms himself the author, re-
quires to be altered, as it is this year, to 106!. It is in
connexion with the cost of enlistment, and still more with
the difficulty of getting recruits at any cost, that the pro-
posals for establishing an army of reserve, which General
Peel explained last night, must be considered. The Tana
abstains at present from condemning or approving the
plan unfolded by General Peel, but it suggests various
considerations which should be taken into account before
the government proposals in this respect are adopted, and
especially thinks that it is still to be proved that a militia
force enrolled with a view to service abroad in case of ne-
cessity might not be as efficient and more economical than
the reserve recommended to the House of Commons.

The Dail!, Nears praises the vigour, clearness, and
straightforwardness of the statement of General Peel, and
proceeds to define our military position, as affected by
the estimates, and to make clear the principal items and
the government proposals thereupon.
The Herald regards all the proposals as admirable, and
is gratified to observe that the general's plan of reserve
found equal favour on both sides of the house.

The Telegraph declares that the scheme lack* depth,
breadth, and fitness'. If we adopt it, we shall spend
more money on recruiting for the regular army—that is
all ; if we reject it, we shall not be one pin the worse off ;
and, in either case, the work of reorganizing the military
service will remain to be done. Neither General Peel nor
any other war minister seems to have thought of tapping
a new spring, and of obtaining a fresh supply of a better
kind.

The mm of the whole matter, the Star says, is this :
Our military needs are exaggeratel They are likely to be
both smaller and better supplied than they are now ; so
much al that retrenchment rather than increased expendi-
ture is our primary duty. But large or small, they are
capable of being met by improvements in the details and
the principles of the service which our statesmen have
not the courage or the foresight to propose.

Professor SHARIMT read the address introducing the
business of tlfis section, which, he observed, related to
everything concerning the organisation of live beings—
plants or animals. In the course of his remarks the
speaker alluded to the system of injecting into the
stomach of a living animal a colouring matter which
may after a certain lapse of time rendeethe gland-ducts
conspicuous through which it is eliminated. Ile con-

ABINGDON RACES.—TnuasnAy.

Considering the unfortunate clashing with Leicester,
this meeting commenced successfully, and the weather
being fine, the sport attracted • large local attendance.
The enclosure, however, was bat thinly patonised,
although there was a fair average of aristocratic company.
The racing was somewhat tame, the failure of the Berk-
shire Stakes to produce a race being very disadvantageous
to the day's programme, but the new race instituted is
its place, has obtained • good entry, and there is every
probability of first-rate sport to-day (Friday). There snub
no betting on the St. Leger. Appended are full details of

TO THE EDITOR OF SHI =PRUE.

Sts,—A paragraph, headed " A Sensation Diver
in Jeopardy," which appeared in your paper to-day,abridged
from the Brighton Guardian, was a gross distortion of feet.
On Saturday I made the last of • series of nine plunges
from the Chain Pier. It was dead low water, the height
to be dived about 120 feet ; the bottom could be fa.homed
with an oar ; but having dived from greater height into
less water without scathe or hurt, I would not disappoint
the crowds of people. Boats, with excursionists, are apt
to cluster closely round the heads of piers I dive from
long before the time. By some one • bottle must bare
been thrown in the water, for the moment I touched the
surface • hard substance struck me on the eye and fore-
head, causing me exquisite pain. I did not touch bottom
nor' fall flat on my back," after turning my somersault in
air. I know my business too well for that. When I wish
my boatmen to pick me up, I float quietly as if tired. They
obeyed my signal, and rowed me to shore ; I walked up
the pier steps without any help whatever, and after
changing my clothes went among the people on the pier,
as usual when my performance is ended, well as ever,
except my black eye.
My dives, even from 200 feet, are easy and safe to me,
as I hope you will see for yourself at the Crystal Pekoe.
Praying that you will not allow, uncontradioted, the
exaggerations of • reporter who raw not what he tried to
describe, to deprive one, who has saved five lives, of his'
hard-won bread.-1 am, &c.,

PHYSICAL SCIENCE.

In the mathematical and physical science section, Mr.
Glaiaher read a paper on luminous meteors. Simulta-
neous observations made at Sidmouth and Cardiff showed
that the phosphorescent train of one meteor was 18 miles
long ; the meteor seen at Dundee, from 51 to 57 miles
high. One observed at Si. Andrews and Glasgow was
about 60 miles above the earth. The catalogue of the
association of the year had contained the moat complete
report ever presented on the subject of the maximum
display in the November shower of stars in America.
The approach of daylight will probably deprive British
observers of the spectacle. At the last display the lumi-
nous streak was visible in North France and Germany for
more than hour.

BARNET FAIR.—(THIS DAY.)—This morninrz tho
fair was resumed for the third day chiefly for pleasure, and
a large mass of holiday folks arrived by road or r.di, and
took complete possession of the fields, for since the
abolition of old St. Bartholomew fair, formerly held in
Smithfield during the first days of September, Barnet
annual pleasure fair has had increased patronage from
London pleasure seekers. There is a great variety of
amusements in the pleasure fair, which is densely crammed
with visitors, aid the enormous demand for gingerbread
and walnuts created a sort of famine. The company gene-
rally is not of the most select class, and uproarious fun
and frolic are the order of the fair. The horse races will
he run in the afternoon, which will relieve the premiure. of
the crowds in the pleasure fair. A grand stand, betting
ring, and race course has been formed in the meadows.

ACCIDENTS BY LIGHTNING.

Seldom have so many serious accidents been
produced by a storm of thunder and lightning as that of
Tuesday last. Minor disasters are reported almost beyond
number, and several of a fatal character. At West Brom-
wich, the lightning struck the house of • labourer named
Timmins, situated in a row near the Old Church. The
electric fluid entered the ceiling of the front bedroom, from
the roof, maapertures similar to what would be pro-
duced by a discharge of four rifles. The fluid 'frock the
bedstead, burnt the curtains and bed-clothes, and the
blankets and feathers of the bed were completely
singed. The electric fluid seemed then to have ex-
pended itself, as regards that part of the house,
but unfortunately it appeared in another part and pro.
duped • fatal effect. Timmins, the occupier of the house,
was at that moment engaged in pouring some water
from • kettle, just taken off the fire, into a teapot. The
lightning struck him on the back of the neck and pro-
duced immediate death. A email round bbick soar was
afterwards found on the neck, and • hole corresponding
with the scar was found in his collar. One of deceased's
little girls said she maw fire at the back of him nook as the
time he fell. The front bedroom, where the bed was
struck and burnt, was in • state of dust and confusion ;
but the room downstairs, and which wee at the back of the
house, exhibited not the least mark of the presenoe of
the electric fluid, neither of ingress nor egress; nothing
was displaced, no soot nor dust disturbed. The town of
Mansfield was visited by a severe thunder-storm in the
afternoon, and it raged with great fury for • considerable
time. Shortly before eight o'clock in the evening the
lightning struck the house of • person named Dawes, who
lives on the Chesterfield-road, about a mile from Mans-
field. The son of Dawes, • boy eight years of age, was
going to bed when the lightning struck him, and be fell
down, expiring almost immediately. The lightning then
passed through the bedroom floor into the kitchen, and
caught the deceased's sister on the shoulder and side,
inflicting such injuries that she is not expected to recover.
The storm was felt with equal severity in Devonshire.
Few people were asleep in Exeter and for many miles
round at four o'clock on Tuesday morning. Before that
time thousands were roused from their slumbers by
an extraordinary war of the elements. Exeter people.say
that they remember nothing of the kind so apps ill autos
Feb. 20, 1833, when 25 noble trees were blown down on
Northernhay, and greet devastation was caused in all the
country round. At Torquay forty flashes of lightning were
counted in a minute.

Figs AT ALDERSHOT. About half-past five
o'clock on Sunday evening an alarm of fire was rained in
the camp and town of Aldershot, and n number of people
at once rushed to thu spot from whence smoke was
perceived to be issuing, namely, the straw stores, situated
near the centre block in the permanent barrack. The pro-
vosts, followed by the fire brigade,were immediately on the
spot, and pioquets being told off to keep the ground, an
attempt was made to extinguish the DAMN, but without
avail for some times. Presently the roof fell in, and the
Homes burst forth with renewed vigour, but the firemen
posted on the walls of the building oontinued to play upon
the burning mass. About eight o'clock the fire was got
under, and at that time nothing remained standing but the
walls and tie iron rafters. The stoics are 100 ft. long by
40ft. wide, and contained upwards of 120 tons of straw, to
be used for bedding, all of which was burnt. No estimate
has as yet been formed as to the total amount of damage.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE AND ITALY.

The T. hips has the following

The last and decisive communications on the Roman
question were directly exchanged between the Emperor of
the French and Victor EramannAl, and it was in conse-
quence of a letter from the latter to the Emperor contain-
ing assurances and declarations that counter orders were
sent to Toulon. But of course communications took
place also between our Minister of Foreign Affairs
and M. Itattazzi, and according to the report of
well informed persons, the former used such strong
language that, war not having taken place, be finds him-
self in a rather difficult position. This is perhaps the
source of the report that M. de Lavalette was to take the
position of Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The Lib,fte, in an article by M. do Girardin,

says

The weighty fall of M. Itattazzi justifies all we have said
of that minister, who has shown that, between him and
Count Cavour, there is all the distance that
separates the ape from tho man. His double
dealing has only succeeded in arresting Garibaldi and
compromising Italy with regard to the French govern-
ment, which declares that it considers it to be a duty of
dignity and honour not to allow the signature of France
appended to • treaty to be violated or disregarded. We
should have nothing but praises for such conduct if with
equal firmness and vigilance it caused the signature of
France to the treaty of Landon of May 8, 1852—which
guaranteed the integrity of Denmark, and its signature to
the treaty of Zurich of November 10, 1839—wht eh
fulfilled the preliminaries of Villafrancs, to be
also respected ; and if it had likewise watched
over the Emperor Maximilian as effectually as over the
sovereign of the pontifical states. The dignity which we
admire is that which has neither fits, nor partialities, nor
weaknesses, nor caprices.

The Florence correspondent of the same journal
says :

As might have been expected, M. Rsttani asked Prussia
to support the claim of Italy to Rome. Perhaps ho did
more ; but Herr Von Usedom, the Prussian minister, re-
plied in such terms as left M. Rattazzi no hope. This
news is quite correct

JUNIOR CARLTON.—Circulars have recently been
issued to members of the Junior Carlton Club, in order to
discover their feeling with regard to the proposed omission
of the bedroom flour, a part of the original and funda-
mental plan of the building which is gradually making
itself so conspicuous on the northern side of Pall Moll.
Should the plan of retaining this floor, which will,
in any case, only afford accommodation to eighteen
members at • time (a number wholly disproportioned to
the requirements of so lair a community) be adhered to,
the Junior Carlton Club will rear its undiminished head
twelve feet higher than the cornice of the Reform Club,
which is now the highest in Pall-mall ; and even if, on
the other hand, it should be determined to abandon the
bedroom floor, the building will still exceed the Reform
Club by two feet in height.—Echou of the Clete.

THE DEBATE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER.
PARIS, Mc. 10, EvzsiNG.

In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body the
debate upon the interpellations relating to Ger-
many was resumed.

M. Lanjuinais reproached the government with.
general want of foresight in its foreign policy, which
he attributed to the fact of the government being of
too personal a character. With regard to Ger-
many, he adjured Franoo to spare German susoep-
tibilities, but to be careful not to allow the growth
upon the French frontier of a conquering monarchy
menacing not the existence but the liberty of action
of the French nation.

THE ►ENIAN PROCESSION&

Attributing to the funeral processions in connex-
ion with the Fenian executions en intentional defiance of
British authority, the Tines proceeds to institute • con-
trast between England, which submits all its grievances to
the decision of law, and Ireland, whose historical distinc-
tion is that of taking the law into its own hands. It is
our universal submission to the reign of law that now
enables a single faction to insult the government and con-
stitution of this country, the greater part of the population
in this island, a great part of that of Ireland, and, more
than all, the old English feeling against unjustifiable
homicide. In what other country in the world would
such proceedings be allowed to pass unchallenged ?
It used to be supposed that the Mahomedans had the mo-
nopoly of the doctrine that the slaying of any infidel
secured the salvation of the faithful manslsyer. But this
article stands in the new creed of Ireland, always held
more or less, but now solemnly, and, as we are assured,
universally ratified.
To the Daily Noes the whole demonstration in Dublin
bears signs that on a certain small basis of real, though
mistaken feeling, • vast edifice of theatrical and simulated
sentiment has been erected. The object of the processions
is deliberately to nurse and inflame a half-genuine sym-
pathy for guilty and unhappy men into larger proportions
and • fiercer zeal than belong to it. But though the agi-
tators and journalists who provoke and pander to these
demonstrations deserve severe blame, yet so long as the
law is unbroken, and the public peace is undisturbed,
violent interference on the part of the authorities would
be something worse than a mistake. To suppress all that
we do not approve, or which may contain the germs
of peril, is not the practice of the English government.
It is better that vain and excitable men should be
organising public demonstrations than that they should
be weaving secret conspiracies. Badly as those huh
journals deserve of their countrymen which seek to keep
alive the spirit of hate and disaffection, the English jour-
nals deserve as ill which endeavour to urge on the govern-
ment to the lawless repression of acts admitted to be
I protected bylaw. The Daily Roes has oonhdence that
her Majesty's ministers will continue to enforce the law
against its violators, and in declining to do more will have
the support of English opinion, and may afford to disre-
gard noisy threats and clamour whether " loyalist " or
Fenian.

OFFICIAL REPORTING IN FRANCE.

It is known that a verbatim report of the dis-
cussions in the French Chamber of Deputies is
made for the Moniteur and printed in the official
journal. From this an abbreviated report is made
for the other daily papers. Some remarkable
alterations, however, find their way in the abbre-
viated report. At the sitting of the Corps Legis-
latif, on the 9th, M. Pelletan made a complaint
on this subject. He said :

At the lasi sitting of the Chamber, when the Minister
of State spoke of " revolutionary bands who had invaded
the Pontifical territory," I interrupted him by remarking,
" That is how Austria spoke in 1831 of the two princes
Bonaparte." The Muniteur has reported my words cor-
rectly, but the analytical summary makes me speak as
follows :—" That is how Austria spoke in 1831 of Prince
Charles Bonaparte." These were not my words. I said,
" the two princes Bonaparte," because there were in 1831
two precursors of Garibaldi. One of them is dead, the
other now reigns.
