Jenge obedience, seeing that its vast superiority
-would be so legibly written on every high road, that
the wayfaring man, oven though he were a fool,
could not fail to' see it ; and which would ulti-
mately yield to the natural passion for power, by
reducing the inferior grade to the rank of serfs.
That is what every aristocracy would be obliged
to do if it could economise all the power latent
in its nature and communicated by its position.
Fortunately it is equal to no such feat.
A. merciful dispensation of Providence or-
dains that out of every favoured class a large
proportion shall every year go to the mischief.
Thus other men get a chance of rising. Thus
society becomes a series of moral buckets, the
One set going up as the other set comes down.
Aristocracy is like a magnificent stable, with
all the appliances for turning out winners
of the Derby, the Oaks, the St. Leger,
the Cambridgeshire, and every other big race ;
with fine looking colts picked up at Middle Park,
with John Days for trainers and Challoners for
jockeys. But somehow one colt catches cold; an-
other breaks a blood-vessel ; a third falls a victim
to the arts of a scoundrel who mixes ground glass
with its corn; a fourth is poisoned by the stable boy;
a fifth drinks too much; a sixth is so fond of play
that it breaks its knees; and so on throughout the
series, until horse after horse has to be " scratched,"
and only a sorry couple struggle round Tottenham
Corner on the. Derby-day. In no • state of society,
therefore, could an hereditary aristocracy continue
to produce the natural leaders of the people. And
the more that society advances the more hard it is for
the nobles to hold their ground against plebeian
upatarts. With social progress comes a host of new
openings for energy. Trade, manufactures, litera-
ture, and science all spur the plebeian to put forth
his utmost ability ; and first they reward him with
wealth or fame, and then with political power.
First they are despised as too vulgar to enlist the
energies of the noble; they grow into a mighty
power which exacts official recognition ; and
thus they create new orders of aristocracy,
each of which competes with the hereditary
class, and each of which is built on those per-
sonal qualities that rule the earth. In our
days an aristocracy may still retain its titled, its
places at Court, its claims to social homage, its po-
sition as an estate of the realm, and even the landed
possessions of more than half a country; but it
cannot wield a thousandth part of its old power.
That power is for ever shattered. In this country
the day is not far off when that power will be only
a tradition ; when, as a class, the nobles shall again
ire merged in the ranks of the people, and when the
influence of each shall be measured by the nature
of his personal qualities and the extent of his posa
sessions. The revolution will, in all probability,
be slow and peaceable, but none the less will it
be complete. Those who rail against the social
and political forces which are working the change
might as hopefully rail against the law of gra-
vitation.

Macmahon, all of whom were employed at the Dowlais
ironworks, were arrested yesterday on a charge of
treason-felony. In the course of the day they were
brought before the stipendiary magistrate at Mertl-yr
Tydvil. They were remanded, and removed to Cardiff
gaol.

Nothing further has transpired to throw light upon the
last Fenian robbery in Cork. The most ingenious suppo-
sition respecting it is that it is the work of the London
swell mob. The conjecture is gravely put forward in a
local paper. It would be very reassming. if it were pro-
bable, but the only ground upon which it is based is that
" so:ne over-dressed strangers have within the past few
weeks been seen in the city." The Fenians have some
reason-to complain that their friends should seek to disowr.
them in this way, and deprive them of the credit of :In
exploit of which they probably feel very proud. It is
especially unfair after leading them to expect the ",.igh:-2t
approval fur acts of reckless amLoity, and manif.:sting s.
cordial an interest in their " chivair.us" ;:rocce.
They do not deserve such treatment, for they have shewn
that they really possess some of the hcnourable feeling and

punctilious courtesy attributed to thieves. Their lewder
promised Mr. Allport that he should hear from them
through an anonymous letter, and it appears they have
kept their word. On Tuesday he received one in the
following friendly terms :—" Dear sir, agreeable to
my promise I send you an account of the number of
revolvers which we took from your shop 'yesterday ; the
number was sixty-three. I hope we did not put you
to any inconvenience or trouble, and strongly re_
commend the sub-constable on duty at the other side •of
Patrick-street, when we were taking them, to promotion."

A meeting of the Metropolitan Working Men's Con-
servative Association was held last evening at their
rooms, Westminster, for the purpose of expressing
abhorrence of " Americo-Fenianism," and attachment to
the throne and constitution of the country. Mr. W.
Jones, F.G.S., occupied the chair. At the last meeting
of the executive committee it was resolved that, as no
steps had as yet been taken in the metropolis to give
expression to public opinion upon the subject of Fenianisrn,
it was their duty to take the initiative. After the chair-
man had briefly opened the proceedings, a long discussion
ensued, from which it appeared that the Lord Mayor had
been invited to take the chair at the proposed meeting,
and was willing to accede to the request of the association;
but, as Exeter Hall had been suggested as the place of
meeting, it became a question whether his lordship should
preside at a great public gathering outside the City. It
appeared that this difficulty had not as yet been over-
come, and accordingly the consideration of the arrange.
ments was adjourned to a special meeting of the associa-
tion. It was announced in the course of the discussion
that several leading men had expressed themselves willing
to join in the proposed anti-Fenian demonstration, and to
address the meeting, and that upon an occasion of the
kind, unconnectedwith Party or politics, there was likely to
be a fusion of Conservatives and Liberals upon a subject
essentially a national one. The secretary having announced
that active steps were being taken to procure a suitable
place for the meeting, which would be held on an early
day, the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

Yesterday, at the Norfolk Quarter Sessions, some
reference was made to the state of the country. The chair
was occupied by Sir W. Jones, and among those present
were Lord Suffield, Colonel Fitzroy, Mr. E. Howes, M.P.,
Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, M.P., Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., &c.
Lord Suffield moved the adoption of an address to her
Majesty, expressing the indignation and sorrow with
which the magistrates had heard of the outrages committed
in the metropolis and other parts of the United Kingdom
against the lives and property of her Majesty's subjects
by persons engaged in organising a seditious insurrection
against her Majesty's glorious and beneficent rule. The
address added that any steps taken by the Government
to repress the odious conspiracy would receive the hearty
and vigorous co-operation of her Majesty's loyal
.sub-
jects in the county of Norfolk. The noble lord observed
that, happily, Norfolk had been perfectly free from
any of those dastardly, cowardy, and rascally attacks
which had been made elsewhere, and he trusted that the
county would continue to enjoy a similar immunity. He
believed that the present Government would meet any
proceedings of the Fenians with the utmost firmness, and
such was the only manner in which the occasion could be
met.—Mr. E. Howes, M.P., in seconding the addrefse
observed that in voting that day i 7 ;-.;j for the repair and
improvement of militia depots at Norwich and Great
Yarmouth the magistrates had given some earnest of their
desire to repress the conspiracy.—Mr. .T. H. Harvey,
M.P., said he feared there was a growing feeling of sus-
picion as regarded the Irish people, and that in some of ~our
largest manufactories there was a danger of Irishmen
being dismissed just because they were Irishmen ; thi
was a feeling which he considered it desirable to prevent.—
The Chairman, in putting the motion for the adoption of
the address, expressed his concurrence in what had fallen ,
from Mr. Harvey, and said he thought, if there were any- ,
body of men who deserved sympathy in the present unplea-
sant and terrible state of things, it was the loyal subjects of
Ireland. In every step we took in repressing the present
conspiracy, we should endeavour to dissociate Fenianism
from Irishmen. We should repress steadily, firmly, and
severely, and without the shadow of doubt, hesitation, or
pity, every miscreant who participated in the shameful
outrages of Fenianism ; and he believed that with such a
policy they would be stamped out. But we must never
forget that Ireland was in the main loyal. If any proof
of this were wanted, it might be found in the fact that in
trying recent political prisoners it had not been necessary
to change the venue, as such offenders had been convicted
by Irish juries selected without regard to class or creed.
He believed Fenianism was the work of a number of men
who had run riot in the late horrible civil war in the
United States ; they had been engaged there in a
feast of incendiarism and blood, and now that peace
was restored in America they were trying on the same
thing here.—The address was adopted unanimously, and
it was agreed that it should be signed by the chairman on
behalf of the meeting, and should then be forwarded to
the Home Secretary for presentati;in to her Majesty.
At the Leicester Quarter Sessions Mr. Serjeant Hayes
said the men who were really responsible for the outrages
which had taken place were still at large, while those who
had been arrested were mere dupes in the hands of others.
He believed that the Fenian movement originated in
America, and a number of Yankee Irishmen had gulled
many of the lower class of the Irish population in this
country into becoming their followers and carrying out
their nefarious plans. But the time had arrived, in his
opinion, when this matter must be dealt with severely.
There were in this country a number of men who dare not
shew themselves in the public streets in Ireland, but who
could walk about unmolested and with impunity in
England. It had been found necessary in Ireland to
suspend the Habeas Corpus Act, and that appeared to him
to be the only effectual remedy that could be adopted
here. He could not see why the same remedy for the
same evil, and the same punishment for the same men,
should not be adopted in this country as in Ireland. If
this were not the case it was an argument in favour of
Fenianism, as the Irish people could then say that they
suffered from the effects of unequal legislation. The
adoption of this course appeared to him to be the only
way in which the really responsible parties could be caught
and their power for mischief prevented.
At Cambridge an address to her Majesty, expressing a
determination to support the Government, was agreed to.

A gratifying instance of the readiness of working men IA;
protect property in a crisis like the present has been
brought under our notice. The men employed in the
Greenhead Mills, Glasgow, to the number of eighty-two,
have presented the owners, the Messrs. Holms Brothers
with an address, in which they offer their services to
watch in rotation the property of the firm during the New
Year holidays, and for any longer period that may be
thought necessary. As this action on the part of the men
was perfectly spontaneous, it affords a pleasing proof of
the good understanding which subsists between them-
selves and their employers, and sets an example which, if
generally followed, would go far to defeat Fenian designs.

At the Dublin Lord Mayor's Show, on Wednesday (the
successor of Mr. Joynt being Dr. Carroll) the streets, we
learn, were thronged by a crowd 'which had a good deal of
the American-Irish aspect, and the roughs who collected
in strong force outside the City Hall showed little respect
for the authority of the police, who did their utmost to
preserve order with excellent temper. A vote of thanks
to the outgoing Lord Mayor was passed with one dissen
tient. Town Councillor Sullivan (editor of the Nation), in
the course of a speech, said he had not taken part in the
Lord Mayor's procession. Persons should be careful
nowadays what processions they assisted in, and " cer-
tainly he had no desire to follow after the 12th Dungarvan
Lancers." The band of the Lancers led the civic parade.

The. marriage of Miss Louisa Milbank, daughter
of Mr. and the late Lady Margaret Milbank, grandniece of
the Duke of Cleveland and the Earl of Wemyss, and niec3
of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, with Mr.
Francis Arkwright, eldest son of the late Mr. Arkwright
of Sutton Scarsdale, was solemnised on Thursday at St.
Paul's, Knightsbridge. The Archbishop of Canterbury
officiated, assisted by the Eev. 11. Langhorne. The bride's
dress was of white silk, covered with magnificent point
lace, and veil of same, with diamond and pearl ornaments.
The Archbishop read the service in the most impressive
manner.—Post.
