FENIANISM.

Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to C lonel Annesley,
said it was true that a man named Smith had been ar-
rested in the county of Cavan, having- Fenian documents
in his possession. That man had been fully committed
for trial.

THE IRISH CHURCH.

On the resumption of the adjourned debate,

Sir ROUNDIILL PALMEIi said the present measure
had been to him a subject of the greatest anxiety and soli-
citude, and if personal feeling or political obligation could
be enough to bind him to act in personal concert
with those friends with whom he had acted so long,
and if he had found it impossible to do so
on the present occasion it was owing to an imperious
and overwhelming 'necessity. (Hear, hear.) He had no
sympathy with those who impugned the motives of the
right hon. gentleman, because he knew they were as pure
and deeply seated as it was possible for anything to be
in human nature. (Hear, hear.) He could not go the
entire length of the bill now under consideration. (Hear,
hear.) He objected to the bill because its principle was
not alone disestablishment simply, but because it was dis-
establishment accompanied by universal disendowment.
(Hear, hear.) He was quite ready to do all that was pos-
sible to remove grievances ro the greatest possible ex-
tent, bat he could not consent to an act which took
away the entire property of the Church in Ireland. He
believed the proposals of the bill to be without precedent
—at least he knew of none—(hear, hear)—and it was not
even comparable with the extensive ;appropriations of
Church property which took place at the time of
the Reformation. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.)
In Canada there was no precedent for the measure, there
life interests in the case of the clergy reserves were also
repealed—(hear. bear)—and indeed they remained so
down to the present day. (Hear, hear.) He could not
consent to a proposal that went the length of saying that
what was not national property ought to be treated as
such, and thereupon to found au argument to enable one
person to take that other person's property and put it into
his own pocket. ("Hear, hear," from the Opposition.)
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Madlle. Nilsson, the

her name to sing at the above theatre is entirely without

declined to sing at Covent-garden, especially under two
managers. She has informed Mr. Map:eson that she con-
siders her engagement now annulled. _ _

" PAUL WYNTEE'S SACRIFICE."--By Airs.
Duffus Hardy. 3 vols.—" Ever and anon, at long inter-
vals in the stream of literary fiction, there appears stories
so nobly planned and finely finished, so richly charged
with poetry and humour, that after perusing them the
sympathetic critic is more disposed to extol them with
undue er.thusiastu than t) baLtuce their defects against
their merits with judicious coolness. In this select class
of exceptionally good novels we do not hesitate to place
'Paul Wyuter's Siterilic.!.' It is one of those prose poems
which seldom appt'ar without making a distinct mark iu
literary annals, and acquiring permanent popularity."—
