The English Government seems to
become moHe and more frightened in
regard to the supposed movements Of
the Fenians. number OF detectives
from London arrived in the last
steamer at New York, with special H.
structions, it is understood, to keep
an eye on the Fenians, and inform
the English Government from time TO
time OF whatever facts may come to
their knowledge in regard to them.
One or more of these detectives, it is
stated, left for Chicago, where it is
believed the Fenians are organized in
greater strength than anywhere else in
America, excepting New York and
vicinity. 1t is understood that the
Fenians have lately adopted stricter
secrecy in their Communications and
action than formerly.

The recently published list Of SUBJ

stir among prominent Englshmen.
Some of them, including Mr.. Glad
stone, Chancellor Of the Exchequer,
Hon. Evelyn Ashley, Mr.. Ridout,
proprietor of the London Morning
Post, and MI. Laird, NJ. P, have
rushed into the newspapers, with as
sertions that they never had any inte-
rest in said loan. The London Neps
styles the list malicious impos-

A meeting of holders of Southern
State and raiiroad bond and bank Sc
curities, issued previous to the rebel
lion, had been called to be held in
London. It is said that if the people

The examination of the Fenians at
Dublin was concluded on the 2d. The
additional evidence developed nothing

imputations that an indiscriminate
slaughter of the higher classes was
ever meditated. Arrests continued in
various parts of the interior.
We will make further extracts from
this summary of foreign intelligence,

INTASrIcIDE.-The body of male infant
was found in the sewer here after the
wash-out Of Saturday night last. The
child was mature in age, but minus head.
1t is supposed it WAS thrown into privy
up street and that in the food the head
was separated from the body. An inquest
was held at the Office of Judge Baugh-an
arrest was also made, but an examination
Of several witnesses failed to proue anything
which would authorize committal. We
have heard that some parties in the country
were implicated but the poor little body is
buried, the case dismissed by those who
were legally charged with it and We prefer
to say nothing more about it. If the
civil courts and God Almighty do not
punish the heartless parent or parents, the
editor Of newspaper may give it up.

The HARRIS TR1AL.-Nearly all our ex.
changes express.undisguised dissatisfaction
at the result Of the recent Harris trial in
Washington. One of them says:
''The result shows that the ordinary tri.
bunals of the Capital are about as con-
temptible as they could be. The conduct
of the Court and of the counsel was disor.
derly and undignified to degree that may
be best described BY the term rowdy. The
verdict of the jury is libel on law, justice
and common sense. Tho accused was
guilty of deliberate murder, for which
the only extenuation was that the man
whom she killed had been engaged to her,
and, probably not without reason, judging
from her violent temper, had broken his
engagement ard married another woman.
He had not seduced her, or give her an}
other cause for killing him than that of
disappointment and jealousy. The defence
Of insanity set up for her was too prepos.
ferrous to be seriously argued. Mary Har.
ris was no more insane than is every per-
son who gives way to violent passion. 1t
might just as reasonably be pleaded that
Booth and Powell were insane from trea.
son, fanaticism and lust of notoriety.
'The effect Of this verdict and of the ap.
plause that followed it, will be that every
disappointed woman may feel safe in MUIR
dering lover who refuses to marry her,
If she can catch him in the National Metro.
polls, she may shoot him down in broad
daylight, not only with impunity, but with
the confident expectation of being applaud
ed as heroine, and kissed and caressed
by distinguished counsel, amid encouraging
cries Of hi ! hi ! and bully for you from
the gratified multitude - '" t
