DAY FOR ADJOURNMENT OF THE SESSION.
ThaH hive az. .
to adjourn on the last Thursday in May. Notwitl-
standing this action, very few believe the session
will be finished before the latter part Of July if
fore that time. Joke as much as they please ahont

anxious at the approach Of hot weather. To calm
their fears tie resolution to adjourn to May was
agreed to SO handsomely. Meanwhile the House
committees are at work industronsfy and will
some day Unexpectedly report batch of business
which will occupy the attention Of the House till
long after the day fixed for adjournment.

Some incipient measures were adopted to-day in
regard to the construction of ship canal across
| the isthmus Of Darien, at Panama, or in Central
America. The resolution merely called for infor-
1 nation and survey reports. This timely action
in bringing up the subject should soon be followed
by further legislation of more substantial char

remembered is now endeavoring to persuade his

THE FENIAN SCARE.
TORONTO, G. W., March 19.-The people here
last night were greatly concerned, and all the
military were on the qui vire during the night. A
battery was loaded on the cars the engines were
steamed up, men were kept standing by the guns,
volunteers in the drill shed, ana signals were
arranged for alarming the people, in the event of
an attack on the frontier towns.
h A plot is reported to have been discovered to
blow up the drill shed and volunteers while drilling.
A large city sewer runs under the drill shed, with
its entrance hundred yards off. Reports say bar.
rels OF powder are to be rolled up the sewer, and
when volunteers meet for drill in the shed the
whole are to be blown up. The sewer is now
guarded day and night. +@
Reports Yesterday circulated that ,sweeny was
with large force at Detroit. Another that he
appeared at Suspension Bridge, but finding two
large force in front he fell back
Strange to say, these reports found some be-
levers.
The morning papers contain full dispatches
from all parts of Canada relative to the celebra-
ton of St. Patricks Day, from which it appears
that at all points peace was maintained.
/ dispatch from Ottawa says that a battery left
there for the front on Saturday. Other move rents
Of troops to the frontier reported from differ
ent points. The organization of new companies is
going forward with great rapidity, and the alarm
seems unabated. .-.. .--.a .
Everybody now feels that the Fenians mean
desperate attempt to obtain Canada as 'base,"
J and very little dependence Is placed upon the
/ American governments professions of observing
neutrality.
The authorities feel that they can expect no
sympathy with the United States, and must help
themselves If they would maintain peace.
Statements made show that ten thousand regu-
lars and ten thousand volunteers are under arms.
and fifteen thousand more volunteers are drilled
and armed, but not under pay, making thirty five
! thousand ready at q moments notice.
In an address to the Grand Jury to-day Chief
Justice Draper, at the opening Of the city asszes
delivered a sterling address on the recent Fenian
: developments on the continent, He said "I6rmly
believe that few, If one of the Irish residents
in Canada, no matter what his creed or party, are
SO insensible to the advantages of our present
form of government as to desire change, least of
} all by armed invaders; and yet danger seems to
be imminent; but it is not war, as that is under
stood by the law of nations, that threatens us it
is not civil internal conflict but it is an intended
invasion from foreign country, with which ou,
sovereign is at peace, by body of mer
whose acts will place them beyond the pale
, and protection of all national law and who
cannot therefore be expected to act in conformity
herewith, or to acknowledge any ofits obligations
Their avowed motives include that of reveng,
upon England for the alleged wrongs of Ireland
and they propose to assail this province as mean
OF insult and annoyance, more within their reaci
and easier compassed. Such action, conceived ant
executed in such spirit, would, in all human pro
