FENIAN AFFAIRS IN ENGLAND AND
IVEIANn

In the British House OF Commons few
days ago, Earl Mayo, Chief Secretary FOR
Ireland, informed the members that the
government was preparing an Irish reform
bill, and would be ready TO lay it before
the HOnse March 9Th. Other measures in
regard 70 Ireland would be brought for.
ward on the 25th Sir Charles Bngut called
attention TO the scheme for placing the
telegrsphic wires under the authority OF
the government, and inquiring If any ae-
tiOn had been taken. Mr.. Hunt, Under
Secretary of the Treasury, replied that it
Was the intention Of the government to
purchase the lines Of telegraph in Great
Britain, and he promised that a plan for
effecting that change would be submitted
within a week. A motion was made for
the second reading Of the bill for the SUE
pension Of the writ of hobeas corpus. Mr..
+ Fortesque said he thought the motion
proved that the administration OF affairs in
Ireland was wrong, and greatly needed re-
forming. Sir Henry Borsen, the member
for Waterford, said the bill was an outrage
npOn Catholics, shut ont az they We're from
The rightful share Of their government.
Earl Mayo made an explanation in re-
gard TO George Francis Train. He said
ihe policeman who arrested Train had
general jurisdiction to watch persons ar
riying at Queenstown from the United
States, and TO stop all suspicious parties.
When the trunk Of Train was examined,
copies Of his own speeches in Ireland were
found, and led to his arrest on suspicion.
He was finally released on giving a pledge
that he wonld make no speech or do no act
in sympathy with the Fenian cause.
In the case of Mr.. Sullivan, editor Of
the Dublin Nation, on trial in that city for
the production Of seditions libels, the jury
yesterday brought 10 verdict Of guilty.

In England there is a superstition among
the lower classes that if "dead-letter" Is
returned to them-that ia, if they write
letter which fails 10 reach its address, and
ia sent back 10 the writer from the dead
letter ofhce-it brings death to the house
The Secretary Of that office is continually
importuned to keep the letters TO himself.
One person, after complaining that twenty
four persons have died in her immediate
reighborhood since dead-letter had been
returned 10 her from the postottice, begs
the Secretary that, if any more Of these
dead-leiters for her should come back, he
should "hurn them and never send them
back So heare to me after that. Our letters

HOW FASHIONS AREINTRODuCED

FROM IlnsleyS magazine.
ANY one who has studied the milliner'5
shops in Paris during the few past months,
when the Parisians themselves were absent
from the capital, could not help observing
how boldly all the fashions of the spring
were obtruded upon the public gaze. For
eigners and provincials, strnck with these
excesses the Partisan modiste perpetrated,
while endeayoring to hit upon some happy
invention that should take the citadel of
fashion by storm, and which the leaders Of
ton, to whom they had been submitted, and
refused to Countenance, scared them as
though they were the choice novelties Of
the season. Hence many foreign dame,
and many an English one, ambitious of
following closely in the steps .of fashion
will have reason TO regret her Paris pur-
chase during the present antnmn. Par
pdrenHese, one may here remark that it Is
not the grdnde danes, or leaders OF fashion,
as they are styled, who really introduce
the changes in the mode when these are
particularly abrupt or striking This is left
to the actresses at the more fashionable the
aters, whose toilets in modern comedies out
strip in marked degree those OF the grand
personages they aresupposed torepresent, TO
certain classes of women who are allowed
large discounts on purchases, in considera-
ton of their being the means of introduc-
ing particular novelties, with the view OF
rendering the public familiar with them,
and drawing on the more lukewarm and
| timid of their sex to follow the example
they set. Indeed, it ia matter of noto-
riety thatmany ofthe large Partisan houses
not only provide ladies of graceful figure
and elegant bearing with toilets with which
to exhibit themselves at the afternoon
promenade, between the lakes in the Bois
de Boulogne, during the Paris season, and
thereby advertise the particular robe OF
mantle which il is desired to introduce, but
pay fixed daily sun for thus displaying
| themselves. A single robe or single
mantle of precise form or shade OF color
| would, unless very striking, fail in attract
ing any particular attention; several ex-
amples, therefore, have to be exhibited al
the same time, and the display goes ondsy
by day until hit is made or failure be

The Chancellor allowed the demurrer
