Fenian matters have again become inter
esting. The Canadian authorities have
seen lit to sentence Colonel Lynch, who, it
is asserted, held no position in the Fenian
army, and Rev. ]. McMahon, catholic
clergyman, who followed the army to min
lister to the wounded and dying, to be hung
on the 18th of December. Secretary Sew
ard has addressed letter to the British
minister, calling for the evidence on which
they, as American subjects, were convicted,
and asking o suspension Of their sentence
until the matter can be officially passed
upon by our Government. The letter causes
great excitement in Canada.
The Rerql@s Ottawa special says: The
threats OF vengeance by the Fenians, should
Lynch be ex eouted, is creating great excite
meDt here. The volunteers at Ridgeway
demand the death of the leaders, while
others oppose it, believing war with the
United States would follow the execution.
The HeralPs Montreal special says the
Roman Catholic Irish will not allow the
priest Mcmahon to be executed and it is to
be feared this will lead to serious trouble
between Protestant Upper Canada and
Catholic Lower Canada. The Attorney
General, West, has been threatened with
assassination if he allows the execution of
the Fenians to take place.
Popular sentiment in Canada is opposed
to leuiency towards the Fenian prisoners
Some Fenians in Brantford, Canada, plum
dered a Protestant Episcopal Church, and
made other violent demonstrations when
they heard Of the sentences of Lynch and
Mcmahon.
Colonel Roberts has issued an address to
the Fenian Brotherhood, urging them to
hurry forward their military organizations,
in order to be ready at cali for any emer-
gency.
The Fenian prisoners at Montreal, about
twenty in number, will be tried the first
week in December.
