• MONTREAL, Nov. 3.
L' Union Nationale, in speaking of the contem-
plated Fenian invasion, declares that the Govern-
ment is organising an army of 40,000 men, to be
stationed along the entire frontier line of Quebec
and Toronto, and to garrison all the frontier tom ns.
Great excitement prevails.

The military authorities are taking steps to pro-
tect the armoury from being suddenly rifled.
The Montreal Herald, winding up an article on
the ministerial crisis in England, says :—There is
one point yet to be considered in the changes which
will be effected by the death of Lord Palmerston.
It is that, according to our colonial negotiators in
England, it required all Lord Palmerston's influence
to overcome the objection of Mr. Gladstone to the
guarantees, and so forth, which they went to Eng-
land to seek."

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 15.

The Hamburg and American Company's extra
steamer Teutonia, from New York on the Ist inst.,
has arrived.

She brings a large cargo for thunburg, but no
specie. Her news has been anticipated.

Introduction of Gas into India.

The introduction of gas into the territories of the Nizam
will strike many persons as being a phenomenon of no or-
dinary kind. In a state where the telegraph wires are re-
garded with the gravest distrust, and where the prospect
of a railway engineer's appearance is discussed on deep po-
litical and religious grounds, one might well have supposed
that the preparation of so mysterious an agent as gas,
almost at the very gates of Hyderabad, would have excited
the liveliest apprehensions within. However this may be,
one house in Chudderghautis now brightly illuminated with
real unmistakeable gas, and the experiment, tried at the risk
and expense of one individual, has proved so successful as
leads us to hope that in a short time oil and candles will
be entirely superseded in the principal houses of Chudder-
ghaut. The gas, which is prepared either from common
oil, or from seeds containing a fair per-centage of oily
matter (especially the castor-oil seed, of which one pound
yields over ten cubic feet of gas), appears singularly free
from any noxious properties, and furnishes a pure and
brilliant light, at a very trifling expense. Though, as is
usual in such cases, private enterprise has taken tho start
of public action, it is to be hoped that the machinery
brought out from England by Mr. MafTett (tho civil en-
gineer in the Nizam's service) may not be confined en-
ti•ely to private purposes. His Excellency Salar Jung
would confer a considerable boon on many by lighting
up in a similar manner the long streets leading from the
liegidency to his palace.— Times of India. [ln reference to
the above paragraph it is satisfactory to know that illumi-
nation by gas of the first private house, in Southern India,
was accomplished by an English firm, Messrs. J. Defries
and Sons, the well-known gas engineers and chandelier
manufacturers of Houndsditch, who have now a staff of
men in that part of the world. This new feature in artificial
light caused, as might have been expected, great astonish-
ment to the natives and residents of Chudderghaut, and is
no do'ubt only the prelude to its almost universal adoption
in every presidency of our Indian Empire.]

THE ALLEGED FRAUDS ON THE BIRMINGHAM
BANK.—Mr. Justice Montague Smith was applied
to, after Mr. Justice Lush on Monday evening had refused
to bail Kelly, to liberate bim on bail. Mr. Lewis (Lewis
and Lewis), for the bank, said that Kelly and Taylor
would be tried next week. Mr. Orchard said that Taylor
had been admitted to bail. His lordship refused the ap-
plication.
