ed their treason, are hanged pursuant to law,
the authorities expect sudden and sharp repri-
sails on the part of the members of the Fenian
organization. The Government is anXiOusly
and actively engaged in the matter. The

guarded day and night by force of armed
policemen, who appear in citizens dress.
Col Burke was sentenced to be hanged on

Burke be executed it is most likely that Col.
Mcclure will share the same fate. as he plead
guilty and is now condemned to undergo the
/ highest penalty of the law.
