THE AMERICAN FENIANS.

The Fenians in New York are constantly deliberat-
ing baleful projects of mischief to England ; but they
appear to lack the unity and decision which leads to
great deeds. The " Senate " recently met, and
General O'Neill presented a report containing
a favourable statement as to the number of
men and amount of the material at the
disposal of the organisation, and in earnest
terms urged upon the members the advisa-
bility of an wily invasion of Canada. The
majority, however, were strongly opposed to imme-
diate action in the matter, being of opinion that it
would be rash in the extreme to commence hostili-
ties before all branches of the brotherhood were

united. No decision was arrived at, but the Presi-
dent of the Senate was shot by the ex-Secretary
immediately after the meeting, an incident which
does not promise well for Fen:an interests.

A GRA.SPING SOLICITOR.—The case of Mr. William
Berry, a solicitor, has been brought before the Master of
the Rolls, and alled forth some severe comments from
Lord Romilly. Mr. Berry was retained by a man and
his wife and their trustee, all of whom were in humble
life, to recover for them certain moneys under the
marriage settlement of the two former. Out of
a sum of £7OO thus recovered, Mr. Barry retained
no less than £4BO for costs. Not content with
this, he induced the trustee to let him have
the remainder of the fund, under pretence of providing
for extra costs of the suit, when the costs had actually
been taxed as between solicitor and client. An order
having been obtained against him to deliver up deeds and
documents, he moved to have it discharged on account of
a technical irregularity, of which the Master of the Rolls
said he must have been cognisant. The order would be
discharged, and a freih order issued again, directing Mr.
Berry to deliver up the papers ; all costs to be paid by
Mr. Berry, who must also furnish a cost account of his
dealings along with his bill of costs.

A MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.—In the Divorce-court a
cause of Cooke v. Cooke has been decided. It was a hus-
band's petition for a restitution of conjugal rights. The
wife answered, and alleged cruelty. It seemed that
Mrs. Cooke, who is rather an elderly lady,
fell in love with the petitioner, who was a
private in the Horse Guards. They were married, and
soon after she bought him out of the regiment, and thc.y
lived together. Mrs. Cooke had £2OO a year or thez-e-
-abouts, and she was constantly applied to by Cooke for
some of it. There were serious quarrels, and
on one occasion Mrs. Cooke's leg was so
injured that she had to go to the hospital;
and at other periods she was compelled to bring her
husband before a magistrate. The cruelty was clearly
proved, and the judge decreed a judicial separation with
costs. As Mr. Cooke did not proceed with his answer,
alleging that his wife provoked him to cruelty, it
was agreed that she should make him a quarterly
allowance.

HEAVY PUNISHMENT OF AN INDECENT PRINTSELLER,;ft
The most severe sentence ever passed in a similar case.
has been recorded at the Middlesex Sessions. The Society
for the Suppression of Vice prosecuted Henry Evans on a
charge of selling and uttering obscene prints and papers.
in the shape of photographic slides. A warrant having
been obtained for a search of the prisoner's premises, a
very large quantity of obscene photographs was seized.
and it was evident that he had been doing a
large business in this traffic. The jury found
the prisoner guilty, and the judge remarked
that he should not waste many observations upon
a person like the prisoner at the bar, for he knew
that these infamous articles were sent by post and in
some cases they ,were thrown over the walls of ladies'
boarding-schools, and there was no limit to the evil that
might be caused by them. The sentence was that hal:P:3
imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years, that he
pay a fine of £5O to the Queen, and he be further impri-
oned until the fine was paid.

"Fnou-FRou."—An ex-parte motion has been made in
Vice-Chancellor James's Court to allow a notice to be
served on the manager of the Brighton Theatre, Mr.
Horace Wigan, Mr. Chart, manager and lessee of the%
Theatre Royal, Brighton, and Mdlle. Beatrice Binds, to re-
strain them from performing in the piece called " Fron-f rou.' k
adapted from the French of MM. Meilhac and Haldvy in,
the translation of whose works, Mr. 'Wood, the plaintiff,
claims an interest. The motion was refused the Vice.
Chancellor considering that it would be quite time enough,
if it were brought on on Thursday next.

AN EDITOR FINED FOR LlBEL.—Actions for libel some;
times present curious questions for the decision of jurors.
A jury at the Staffordshire Assizes have been virtually.
asked to say whether a lieutenant of the Burslem Vo
teer Corps, who had found it necessary to put an end to a
dangerous dog had destroyed it after a fashion which was
worthy of a " brave" man. The editor of a local news,
paper, the Staffordshire Sentinel, indirectly said he had
not, but that he had put it to death in a wantonly cruel
and inhumane manner, whereupon the lieutenant broughtt
his action for libel,. solely to clear his character. apLe
obtained a verdict, with £2.0.

A Parlitimentary report is published of the in-
quiry as to the truth or otherwise of certain allwiations
contained in a memorial from the vicar and other inhabi-
tants of Barking, calling attention to the pollution of the
river Thames. Mr. Anderson's Bill to Abolish Wages
Arrestraent in Scotland is published.

The Lancet says that small-pox is still very pre•
valent in Paris, no less than 80 deaths having taken place
last week from this affection. " Re-vaccination from the
eow itself is said to be all the rage in that city ; it is,
however, to be regretted that compulsory vaccination has
not yet been established by the Cvernment, as we find,
from official sources, that 270 persons did from this
disease in the Paris hospitals during the year 1869."

The Rock contains a letter of the Archbishop -of
York, published by permbsion. It is addressed to G. H.
Davis, LL.D., and chews that the Archbishop is not en-
tirely opposed to a revision of the Scriptures. His Grace
is certainly opposed to any authoritative revision at the
present time, but at the same time he approves of efforts
being made with a view to the same end by private Mi.
yiduals and societies.

A novel and extraordinary system of " threatening
notice" is reported from the county of Meath. It is the
digging of graves in grass lands as a warning to the owners.
It appears that a few nights ago some persons dug a graTe
of ordinary size at the cross-roads of Ashfield, near Long-
wood or, in other words, on the angle, which was com-
posed of green sod, where both roads meet. A letter was
deposited at the bottom, which was handed up to the
authorities, and the contents of which have not yet been
made public.

It will be remembered that shortly after Um
accession of the present Lord Mayor (Mr. Alderman
Begley) to the dignified office of Chief Magistrate of the
City, a congratulatory address was presented to him, by
the natives of Devonshire resident in London. It will
arranged that the address and the names of the sub-
scribers should be inscribed in a handsome illuminated
book, and that volume being now ready it will be handed
to his lordship on Wednesday next, on which evening the
subscribers will be entertained by his lordship to dinner
at the Mansion House.
The mountain of Flaskagh, near Dunmore, county
Galway, has been the scene of a wanton outrage, the
burning of a large quantity of turf belonging to several
poor farmers in the neighbourhood. The fire was observed
at a distance of several miles by a police patrol, who has•
tened to the spot and aroused the people of the locality,
in order to have their assistance in endeavouring to save it
But all their efforts proved unavailing in consoq_uence of
the wind being very high at the time, which caused the fire
to spread ropily. There can be no doubt of this fire hav-
ing l.),en the act of an incendiary, as the turf was made
up in several stacks at considerable distances from each
other.
The wife of the convict Ilossa has lectured at
Tipperary, and received an enthusiastic ovation. The
' hotel where she was staying, and some other houses in
the town, were searched by the police for arms, but with•
out success.
