In the House of Commons, on the Esd ultimo,
Mr.. WATKINS asked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether any representation had
been made TO the Washington Government In
reference TO the Feniam organization. The
Chancellor replied that the Government had
made no such representation, and at present
had seen no cause for doing so, One of the
speakers, in the debate which ensued Mr..
OL1PHAST, gave some information abont
Fenianism III America gathered during visit
here, and assured the House they had no sym
pathiZers in America, because they were
hewers of wood and drawers of water; because
thev had committed the blunder of setting up q
separate nationality, and because of their
antagonism to the negro. He said that the
American Secretary of State could point to
episodes i'll British history almost exactly
parallel TO what is now taking place in Anne
rica. He himself had once been asked to sub
scribe money for some persons who were going
10 kick out OF his throne the King of Naples
and had seen a Garibaldian legion marching
through the streets of Liverpool 10 the point
of embarkation, whence they were openly
and notoriously going 10 fight against a sove'
reign with whom England was at peace. lie
asserted that the Fenian rupture in New l 1orH
was due 10 the action of the American Gov
ernment, and that if there were no outstanding
claims between England and the United States
Fenianlsm would cease TO exist.

Mr. Seward sustained-PoliticaI Prospects.

II Is rarely that WILLIAM II. SEWARD does
not carry his point with his own party. In
the State OF New York, he is n controlling
power. When the American or KnowNo.
thing party seemed destined 10 oyerwhelm
every man who refused 10 subscribe 10 Its doc
trines, Mr.. SEWARD calmly contemplated the
subject, saw that the organization was an
ephemeral one, took ground against it, went
before a Know Nothing Legislature for re-
election 10 the United States Senate, and was
successful. He knows exactly how far he may
20 for or against any political measure, whe-
,her the same be popular or not, and yet sus-
tain himself He is not n political weather
cock; for he does not always shift his position
with the popular breeze He Is rather a poll
tical barometer, which indicates in advance
what the weather is 10 be. A remarkable evil
dcncc of his power to control his followers has
lust been given. Whilst the Legislatures OF
all the other States in which the Republicans
have majority have passed resolutions sus.
tanning Congress upon the question of the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, he has managed to
prevent the Republicans in the New York Le-
gislature from following the contagious exam.
pie so generally set. AT fun caucus Of the
Republican members of that body, held in
Albany on Wednesday night last, resolutions
sustaining the Radical majority as against the
Presidents plan Of restoration were defeated
by a vote af forty -four TO forty-three.
The city of New York has always been
Democratic and conservative It's, neyerthe-
less, worth noting that although the City
Council, under the peculiar influences Of the
war, has become semi-radical, one half Of its
members being Republican, yet when that
body was asked TO endorse the President S
policy, only two OF these Republicans dared
TO vote in the negative.
These evidences Of q healthy public opinion
In the Empire State are peculiarly gratifying.
They give the Southern people reason to hope
that as New York exercises great influence
upon other States, and will herself elect
good men. the next Congress will be much
more liberalin IN word and deed than the present.
Nothing more than the manifestation of this
kindly spirit IN dealing with the South is
necessary TO attach her firmly 10 the Union.
Nothing less can secure that desirable result.

Church by the Methodist Sunday School
Union was very large one, and much Interest
was manifested by all present. The church
was crowded 10 It's utmost with old and young
There were old men, who looked with pride
upon the scene before them; and there were
younger men, whose part it was to lead the
younger minds TO thoughts of higher spheres
than this, and OF an existence happier and
more noble than man can conceive of. These
looked with qualification upon the earnest
manner with which their charges entered into
the proceedings. The ladies were there in
abundance, as they are everywhere when the
good of mankind is concerned. The meeting
was opened by prayer, and followed by hymns
sung with much spirit by the young people,
mostly.
Addresses were delivered by the venerable
Bishop Andrew and George w. Armistead,
Esq They were listened to attentively and
with much interest. The report of the ave-
rage attendance for the last month was as fol-

behalf of the Sunday schools.
After singing 4 hymn and joining in prayer,
the different Sunday schools were dispersed
and many went home with light and proud
hearts.
