The ENGLISH TERRoR-The alarm of the English
Journals. relative to the late Fenian developments
in England. is perfectly natural. 1t must be a

lean anomaly, actually penetratas English towns
and homes. IL has been converted from u distant
danger into an ever present terror. That thousands
of armed men should rise in n quiet English city at

exhibits a condition of affairs that just6es the dark

Greece and Rome that we find u condition of affairs
similar To that which prevails in England. Human

Rome were more terrible than the campaigns a

thin DISCUSSES of nineteenth century civilization,
we behold in the wealthiest and most powerful ma

the worst evils of Pagan society. such as had been
believed To have become obsolete with the spread
of Christianity. The Irish in England have become
a suspected race. Police watch them day and
places where they most eongregate. How long
may il be before a real or supposed necessity of
self preservation precipitates IA massacre by sol

These considerations agitate the minds of think
