THE WEEKLY PRESS.  The Saturday Review praises the language of Mr. Forster at Bradford as moderate and statesmanlike. In  articles upon foreign affairs it finds • useful place both for Napoleon 111. and Garibaldi; allows that the Prussian government in its published ;ammonia on the rumours growing out of the Salzburg interview, has sufficiently vindicated its reputation for firmness and resolution, points out the difficulties in selecting a suitable candidate for the throne of Spain in case of a successful revolution ; and urges once more upon Austria • radical financial reform.  The proceedings of the Fenian at Manchester leads the Saturday &view to say that we have had too much sympathy of late for criminals because they happen to be political criminals ; but no amount of petitions or argumentation* will suffice to save anybody who can be proved to have taken a part in this detestable affair from such a punishment as will be likely to prove a strong deterrent to others.  The Examiner does not infer from the act of violence at Manchester any great risk of future outrages of the same kind ; but it is a necessary consequence of such incidents that they alienate good men from the cause they are intended to support. If two men have been recovered—only for a few days, let us hope—how many better men have been lost to the Fenian cause by the Manchester murder.  The Abyssinian expedition is strongly condemned by the Examiner, which foresees nothing but disaster as the result. The only people that will be satisfied, it says. are tie jobbers who will make money of the transaction. It observes with great regret that some of the regiments designated to bear a part in the expedition are those the majority of whose rank and file have nearly served their term of 10 years, and who, if allowed to return home, as they hail reason to expect, were looking forward to their honourable discharge. This is hardly fair; it is certainly far from wise. When in the Crimean war the regiments which, in rotation, would have been soonest entitled to be brought home were selected for the most exposed positions in the siege of Sebastopol, there was no end to the reproachful comments of our press on the heartless economy of Marshal Pelissier. Yet in that case there was much to be said upon the ground that, in the dread crisis of that great encounter, the most reliable veterans could  not be dispensed with. Has, our War-office any such excuse for its choice of regiment* to be sent against Ring Theodore?  The Specintor trusts that the punislunent of those convicted of the outrage at Manchester will be prompt and severe, if only for the sake of the lower Irish themselves. Once let the English mob of places like Manchester or Liverpool get any idea into their heads th►t these Fenian outrages in England are too leniently de►lt with by the law or by the government of England, and they would be taking the law into their own hands. Indeed, this is even now the worst consequence to be ►pprehended from these irritating outbreaks. We should tremble to see the result if those of our great cities in which Irish colonies exist once got the idea that their peace and security were Seriously threatened by Fenian machinations.  the Court.
