ALARMED AND Gracious British
Government, with that grand. naughty and po-
tential old Tory chief, the Premier, Earl Derby,
at its head, appears to have suddenly become
wonderfully gracious and amazingly liberal
The dispatches of the week report the opening
Of Parliament on the 18th instant, and mention
the intention of the Ministry to introduce re-
form bills for Scotland and Ireland The fact
that Parliament has convened at so early day
is in itself remarkable, and, if we are not mis-
taken, it is the only instance Of the kind since
the Crimean war. Parliament rarely sits ear

question alone which has caused this unusually
early session, for that in no way concerns the
promised reforms to Ireland and Scotland It
is more than probable that the Fenian out

vanished, and a wholesome dread of the Fenian
strength has come upon him. 1t is startling to
think of Earl Derby, the lifelong, foremost,
most formidable, proudest old Tory of all Eng
land, outbidding the Wings and Liberals in
measures of "Reform" Faith, it is a big,
terrible Fenian scare, this time, that gruff aud
stubborn old Johannes Taurus has received
from ''the Boys in the boys" and we hope that
he may never recover from it until he opens
wide the doors of every prison in which is con-
fined Fenian victim. Nolc, would be the
time for Seward to demand the release of the
adopted American citizens, Nagle, Warren,
Halpin, and Others who anguish and suffer as
Fenlan prisoners in British dungeons. But the
