NEW York, Feb. 25.-Our files by the
steamer Deutschland, show by official
parliamentary statements and police and
military reports, that the Fenian movement
against Chester Castle was a very serious
and alarming affair, undertaken after due
deliberation, and carried to the verge Of
completion with rapidity and skill. An
Irish-American officer serving in the Fee
Man ranks betrayed the secret to the au-
thOrities and saved, in all probability, great
trouble to England The chief of police in
Chester states that a FeniaA military direc-
tory, consisting of fifty men mainly from
New York, hold regular sittings in the
chief towns of the united kingdom.
In the House Of Commons on the 18th
inst, after the conclusion Of the great re-
form meeting in Agricultural Hall, Lon
don, Mr.. DIsraeli submitted the Derby re.
form plan TO a very impatient assemblage
of members. He said the Cabinet disliked
the treatment of the subject as party, and
would, consequently, proceed by resolution.
On the 25th Of February he would take the
opinion of the House on a series of resolu-
tions, which would affirm what should be
the character Of the new bill, that the eX-
tension of the franchise must be in accor-
dance with the English construction, and
would avoid the preponderance Of any
class. 1t would be proposed that rating
should be the basis for voting, and a meas
IRE would be introduced to remedy irregu-
larities in ratings. No borough would be
DISTINGUISHED, and that a boundary COM
mon would be issued, with view Of ema-
mating the urban element from the con
stituents in the counties. He concluded by
moving that on the 25th Of February the
House should go into a committee to
consider the reform bill of 1892
