The Fenians.
THEIR GUJCCr.


At a late gathering OF the Fenian
Brotherhood in New Iorl1. James J.
Rogers, Esq, tue State Cnnsrr. stated
the object; contemplated by the or
ganlzation--thc main and principal
one Of which was the liberation OF
,srelaud from English rule, and the
!ou"liag OF d Republic on Irish soil
Several attempts had been made to
free Ireland, bat they had isliicu from
v.srlous c:.:iSe>. In l70S sncil Il move
II rat was made, butin cons..i .i:lr,lcc OF

11e Irish people it came 10 na1gl,t

from patrioiic motives and animated

proper organization aud ;.rlns. Hence
j.. too, s:.;!eI. The re.l:.n Brother
hood had determined to take ,i,vai:-
t;s.@a OF al these mish#ps, and to
gi'arl against failure by taking warn
ing from the lessons OF the past. I,ie

TIE FEN1AN FRIGHT IN ENGLAND
Notwithstanding tho Jolly air with
which the IontoM Times and other
English Journals treated our state
lnent about the Fenians, they have
taken the alarm and are evidently a
good deal frightened. We perceive
that u bill has been introduced in Par
ilament to increase the efficiency of
the Irish coustlDIllary. Any one who
Knows anything about that organiZa-
ton, knows that it is about the most
efficient police force in the world for
purposes Of coercion, as we'll as de-
tectlvc body. 1t is composed OF a
regularly drilled army OF about twelve
thousand lnen, almed with carbines
ahd IN evc:y Wy equipped like sol
.il"Es. ih'.9e are not alone masscd III
the large cities, b.tt are scattered III
small parties as Wei, in barracks ut 70
distance oi q few miles throughout
the entire country. The efficiency"
OF such u force III Il small leland can
be easily understood. That further
efficiency is about to be provided by
set Of Parliament, therefore, is evi-
GENTLY the result Of the Fenian fright.
