SYMPATHY WITH FENIANIsM IN ENGLAND
How grave step the English government
took last Saturday in executing three Fenians
may be gathered from the following statement
made by the London correspondent Of the
New York Times, under date of Nov. TO-:
The st. Luke's branch OF the Reform League
resolves that the moral justification of Fenian-
ism is to be found in the crimes of the British
Government against our Irish fellow subjects
that their implacabe hatred of the governing
classes of the country, as expressed in Fenian-
ism, is in fact but the natural and inevitable
result of their conduct toward them, and we
neither believe nor desire the cessation of that
hatred and hostility except by the redress OF
the wrong and injustice that they have given
birth, but on the contrary deem it our duty to
openly express our deep sympathy with, and
commisseration for, those who have been fore
ed by the accumulated crimes of our rulers in
to the adoption of those sentiments
This resolution, supported by bold and ener-
getic speeches, was carried unanimously. 1t
is difficult to say how far this kind of sXmpa-
thy extends, but it is not peculiar to the work
ing men, for Lord Verbers has written letter
to the Pail Mall Gazette, saying that the Fe-
MAN rescue at Manchester had so much of a
belligerent character that it would be improp-
er to execute as murderers those who were en-
gagged in it, and, if they are executed L believe
that their deaths will be bitterly avenged. II
arrested ,en more may be convicted and exc
cuted, and so the bloody work will go on. I'm
der these circumstances it would be better for
the English Government to follow the ex am
pie OF that of the Pope which either had re-
leased, or will soon release, all his Garibaldian
prisoners, while Garibaldi himself after all the
bloOdshed he has caused, is, it is said only to
be banished to America. -

THE HANLoN COMBINATION appeared last
evening at Deering Hall, before crowded
house, and the entertainment was WORTH of
the house. Of the gymnastic feats on the hd-
der and horizontal bars, and the tumbling, i is
unnecessary to speak; the unapproachable ex-
cellence of tie Hanlons in this direction is too
well known. Of the other features of the IN
tertainment it is only necessary to say Tat
they are precisely what has been promised
Madamoiselle Gertrudes trained poodlesdo
everything but talk-climb ladders, walk ON
their hind feet, or fore feet, turn somersauts,
laugh-we certainly saw and heard them
laugh-dance, and if they don't sing, it is
simply because they are not invited. Harry
.Gurr, the amphibious Englishman, appears to
pass his time very agreeably in his great tank,
eating, drinking, and smoking under waterin
full view of the audience, and expressing Bis
satisfaction by the most hideous contortions Of
countenance. If he could only read the Pres,
or some other entertaining miscellany, under
water, there would appear to be no Necessary
OF his coming to the surface at all. AT any
rate he appears to have no trouble about
breathing. The Giant Heads, and the pecu-
liarly elastic bodies to which they are attached,
bodies which stretch like indiarubber from five
to ten feet in height, kept the house in roar
during the whole of their unique performance
The Hanlons will appear every evening this
week, with varied programme, retaining
however the chief attractions

A NATIONAL CHAMBER OF MMERcE.-
There is some talk in the papers of the organ
ization of National Chamber of Commerce
to be composed of delegates from the various
local commercial associations throughout the
country. If this is not "too good to be true
there is a prospect of the formation of a body
whose deliberations will be of the greatest as
sistance to Congress and to the whole people
Composed of the leading business men Of the
country, it would at once become an auxiliary
power of great influence in determining thu
course of legislation on matters of vital i'm
portance. If such chamber had been organ
lied few years ago, the transportation o
merchandise by sea wOnld not, as now, be al
most wholly lost to this country. The matte
would have been presented to Congress in $,
lncontr9gegyttidRls that our commercial mafiiie
would have now been in a fair way to regain
the commanding position it held before the
war. .- ..- adm

As an opera singer she has but few equals and

lean artists and lovers of music confirmed that
decision. La addition to her merits as an ar

appear. Miss Phillips is an artist who never
fails in her roles, always doing well and dis

never witnessed such operate performances
as will be given on this occasion, and we trust
and believe they will be properly appreciated
and fully patronized. ...
But for our new City Hall we could not
have such musical exhibitions and on SO broad
a scale. The acoustic properties of this great

Germania Band were highly gratiied with it
The performance of a full opera will further

not exceled by any one on this continent, and
we go further and express the opinion that for
fair proportions, chaste finish and sarchitectur-

at the Marine Hospital was found dead in his
room at Mrs. Piper's boarding house, on New

that congestion was the immediate cause of
his death, as the complaints which he had
been making for a few days concerning his
health gave strong evidence of his being
troubled in this way.

A FAMILY PARTY.-The descendants OF
John Holden assembled at the House of Hem
~ Holden, on Wednesday, 9th instant, to the
number of seventy five, for social interVie"
and dinner. We are informed by member Vi
the party that the whole family was not OUT,
owing to- the unfavorable weather, but the
catherine was certainly respectable in point OF
numbars The assembly being SO large, it was
naoassary TO observe something of parliament
tarv form, and the meeting was accordingly
organized by the choice of j. w. Holden pres
ident of the, day and Ephraim Nutting secreta-
ry. Committees on arranging the tables and on
special introduction We're then appointed, and
in good time dinner was announced, and was
prefaced by prayer by the chaplain OF the day,
George p. Holden Twenty seven basketsful
OF fragments, we are told, We're taken up after
the dinner was over, including two cakes as
big as Westinghouse steeple." We admit
the cakes butreject the steeple The company
were seated at three long tables, and the din
ner appears to have been an old fashioned
Thanksgiving festival-without the toddy, Of
which our Informant says nothing After din
ner anew Book of Chronicles" written by
G. b. Holden, of Washington D. c., was read
by the secretary. The book sketches briefly
the history of the settlement of Otisfeld by
the patriarchs," their manners and customs,
the circumstances attending the erection of
the temple on the mount" the successive
priesthoods," etc, ending with genealogy of
the descendants of the original John Holden.
After choosing committee to arrange for re-
union next year, the party broke up. If John
Holden had a hospitable turn and was not 9TH
erwise engaged, and if the spiritualist theory is
correct, tits fair to presume that he must have
enjoyed the occasion very highly. fa

followed by series of others, embracing in
succession the other States, separately or in
groups. Those of New York and the middle
