A clergyman, as well as a schoolmaster has been
fined for flogging a boy. It was stated that he had
mercilessly beaten the lad, because the latter rushed
against his servant in the street when taking shelter
from some stone throwers. A fine of £2, and £2l2s. 6d.
costs, was inflicted.
It is stated in a Madrid telegram that Marshal
Saldanha was about to be arrested by the Duke de Loul6
and sent abroad when the recent rising took place. News
of the Duke de Loule's intention, however reached Sal-
danha, and he at once had recourse to a military pronun-
ciamiento.

The Agence Havas narrates that at Nagy Bun
(Transylvania) a few days ago there burst a waterspout,
by which 80 houses were destroyed. The corpses of two
hundred persons were found strewed about the fields.
and fourteen others have been got out of the river at
Schatzburg.

A thunderstorm burst some days back over the
Bdurbonnaise and did great damage. In one village,
out of fifty-six sheep, seventeen were killed by the
lightning. The corn was all beaten down, the vines
broken, and, in some cases, the roofs of houses carried
away.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

The Fenian Raid.

The long-expected Fenian experiment in Canada
has not proved encouraging. The inevitable defeat
has already taken place. The centre of the opera-
tions was St. Albans, a town in the State of Ver-
mont, close to the frontier of Eastern Canada. Here a
bodyof Fenians gathered under the command of O'Neill,
and two hundred crossed over on Wednesday morn-
ing. • The Canadian troops met and defeated them.,
The damage seems to have been very small, for the
Canadians had no casualty, whilst the Fenians lost
only two—one account says four—men ; but
the moral victory must prove important. The
Fenians are represented as discouraged, broken,
and in hill flight; and their leader, O'Neill, is now
in the hands of the United States authorities. The
lesson to this gentleman ought to be a severe one.
Four years ago he invaded Canada. At the
end of May 1866, he crossed the Niagara River
at Fort Erie. The prospect of an invasion had
aroused a loyal and enthusiastic spirit in the
Canadians. Volunteers had been enrolled by thou-
sands, and the Fenians were encountered three days
after they had crossed the frontier. They were
compelled to retreat, and a number of them were
capturedr...Thp American Government acted in good.
faith, and many of tbe returned Fenians were
arrested by Generals Grant and Meade, sent on
the service by President Johnson. On this occa-
sion, too, it has fully done its duty, and merits the
thanks of Englishmen and Canadians.
