OF four columns, printed on one side only OF n fair

the receipt Of a steak OF Confederate beef, alias

PROTESTANTISM IN SPAIN.
From the London Tiames,)

In Porto Rico, as in all Spanish domin-
ions, great obstacles have been hitherto
offered to the decent interment of Protes-
tants, even in the place appointed TO them
by Spanish law-viz., among unbaptized
infants and suicides. The painful clrcum-
stances attending the burial Of, a poor
English sailor and other Protestants who
have lately died there induced Her Males
TVS Consul to offer his earnest remon-
strances to the Captain General on behalf
of his teIlow-countrymen. He alluded
to the scandals which had lately occurred,
and urged that at least nOn-Catholics
should be treated with the respect due to
human beings after their death. In conse-
quence, the Captai1-G General published
a circular in the official Gazette, which is
noticed as follows by a local paper:-"The
circular issued by Government manifests
the necessity which exists at the present day
of recognizing the proposition that all men,
whatever may be their antecedents as
regards religion or nationality, should, on
quitting this life, be allowed in some
sacred and quiet spot the respect and
tranquility which, perhaps, during life
Cfey nave sought Tor IN VAIN. Ills Elk
c%ellency has endeavoured to avoid disorder
as We'll as the possibility Of s%oruples on the
religious side, aud, as the CIRCULAR observes,
to arouse in the depths of all consciences
the conviction that respect to human
remains ought always to be held by us as
the first ofpratical truths, and to this end he
has ordered that the ayuntamientos of the
different pue6Jos throughout the island
should at once construct cemeteries at the
Government expense for all non-C Catholics,
the completion to be reported to Govern
ment by the Alcaldes. Further, all non
Catholic congregations. or even private
persons, are allowed to have cemeteries
or graves at the:r own private expense
by application to the authorities. subject
only to sanitary rules, which may be
established by law"

Throughout the country, but more so in Cas-
tries, the, taxes whether on. houses, or on
Imports, are severely. felt and complained OF.
InSdeedi It has been rumoured that new taxes
will soon have to be imposed, but we are
persuaded that nothing so impolitlc can be
in contemplation by the Government. Alrea'
dy it appears that petty larceny is on the
increase, which is an indication of want in the
peasantry, and any addition to the public
burthens must increase the want and cores
ponding dissatisfaction with the Government.
A variety Of causes, have contributed to bring
the Government into considerable odium, IN
merited we firmly believe, and we trust that
nothing will be added to the present diss ats
faction but increase instead Of decrease Of
taxation Is sure TO do so.
RAIN in heavy, pouring showers have been
our portion since our last. We hear that in
some places it is too much for the growing
crops.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE
WORD FENIAN.
From the Boys Monthly MGg0z'"e)

The word Fenian Is taken from
"Fionn," who was q chieftain OF the pro-
vince Of Leinster, and belonged to the Clanna
Baoisgne he was at the head OF an an
cient militia or standing army, employed
only on home service for protecting the
coast from invasion. The members OF this
militia were called Fenians, were paid by
the King, biIleted on the people in winter,
but lived by the chase in summer. The
following are supposed to have been the
qualifications of a Fenian =
/. Every soldier was required to swear
that, without regard to her fortune, he
would choose o wife for her virtue, her
courtesy, and her good manners
2. That he would never offer violence to
q woman.
8. That, as far as he could, he would re-
lieve the poor.
A.. And that he would not refuse to fight
nine men of any other nation. No person
could be received into the service unless
his father and mother, and all his relations,
gave security that none of them would re-
venge his death upon the person who
might slay him, bat that they would leave
the matter with his felIow-soldiers.
The youth himself must be we'll &C
ouainted with the twelve books of poetry,
and must be able to compose verses.
He must run well, and defend himself
when in fight. To try his activity he was
made to run through a wood, having a
start of a trees breadth, the whole of the
Fenians pursuing him if he was overtaken,
- vvnonda1 in tho xuoOJ ho Uvo rofIVcod
as too sluggish and unskilful to fight with
honour among such valiant troops. He
must be 80 swift and light of foot as NOS
to break q rotten stick by standing upon
it, must also be able to leap over q tree as
high as his forehead, and to stoop under a
tree that was lower than his knees.
Finally he must take an oath of fidelity.
So long as these terms of admission
were exactly insisted upon, the militia of
Ireland were an invincible defence to their
country and a terror to rebels at home and
snemies abroad. Coll M'Morna had slain
Fionn's father, Cumhail, in battle, and was
Fionn's mortal enemy in early life after
wards he made peace with him, and
fought under him as chieftain of the Con-
naught Fenians. But the supremacy of
the olanna and Baoisgne led to feuds, and
at last Fionn and his clan, detying the
throne itself, were attacked by all the
forces Of Erin except those Of the king of
Munster, who took part with him, and sui
fered carnage in the battle of Gabhra
wherein .Oisins Lion Osca and the King
Of Cairbre fell by each Others hands.
Eionn, who was absent, arrived only in
time to close his graudson's eyes /; and, af-
ter this defeat, peace had no sweets for
him, and was no triumphs, Fionn died, it
is said, by the lance Of an assassin. 1t is
noticeable, however, that the Fenians
were not confined to Erin. In the ancient
poem on the Battle of Gabhra we read of
."AThs bands Of the Flame of Alban (Alban
