THE TRIAL OF THE SUPPOSED FENIANS. It is probal)le that, owing to a suggestion made by the Law Officers of the Crown, the two suspected Fenians, Michael Davitt and John Wilson, who stand charged with treason-felony, will be tried at Leeds. There are many circumstances which render it desirable that the venue of the trial should be laid at that town. In the first place, it was there that Davitt is alleged to have committed the felonious acts of treason with which he is charged. There, also, according to the evidence of two witnesses, the other prisoner, Wilson, a gun and pistol maker of Birmingham, took from the parcel office a box of firearms which he had forwarded from Birmingham, and sent it, in charge of Davitt's warehouseman, to the premises occupied by Davitt under the assumed name of Jackson. Another incidental advantage is the central position of the place, and, since a large majority of the witnesses reside in the midland and northern parts of the kingdom there will be a considerable saving of expense if these persons have only to travel to Leeds instead of London. The lodginghouse keeper with whom Davitt had been staying in London for the fortnight previous to his arrest, and the half-dozen detectives who assisted in the capture of the two prisoners, would at the Leeds Assizes meet half-way, as it were, the police of Glasgow who took possession of the cask of fire-arms sent from Birmingham ; the Newcastle police, who are witnesses to the arrival of similar packages in that town; the witnesses in Manchester who saw Davitt apply at a parceloffice for a box of ammunition, afterwards seized under very suspicious circumstanoes, and traced by the police from a cottage in Caroline-street Birmingham, which was occupied by a man named Rafferty, and used, it is believed, by Wilson as a depot for the storage of firearms and ammunition ; and lastly, the numerous witnesses from the neighbouring town of Birmingham who saw many of the consignments of weapons which ultimately fell into the possession of the police, despatched from Rafferty's cottage under Wilson's direction.—Tini€B.  There was a full attendance at the Botanic Gardens, Regent's Park, yesterday afternoon, as the American plants were in the greatest penfection. An old pensioner has died at Greenwich from the effects of injuries he received from garotters, when visiting London the other day. A Coroner's Jury, last night, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some persons unknown." rADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills and Ointment —Palpitation of the Heart, Shortness of Breath.—These distressing affections frequently arise from indigestion or a relaxed state of the nervous system, and may be thoroughly overcome by a course of these corrective pills. When the throbbing of the heart and feeling of suffocation on making any slight exertion harass the patient, Holloway's Ointment should be well rubbed, twice a day, over the pit of the stomach and right side. It will soon bring out a rash, and on its appearance all anxiety and every unfavourable symptom will be miti' Kaled. The use of the medicine should not be discontinued until the patient has been for some time free from palpitation and other attendant inconveniences.
