THE REFORM' LEAGUE ON THE OUTRAGE.  At a meeting of the executive committee of the Reform League it was resolved unanimously, " fhat we denounce with indignation and abhorrence the atrocious outrage perpetrated at Clerkenwell last Friday as a crime of monstrous depravity, a violation of all laws divine and human, and a cruel impediment to the legal progress of constitutional reform by the peaceful instrumentality of moral force. Riming a firm faith in our powerto secure the redress of political and social grievances by legitimate means, we consider the denationalise.' and inhuman miscreants who under the name of Fenian have recourse to indiscriminate violence, bloodshed, and murder as means of redressing the wrongs of Ireland to be the bitterest enemies of all real freedom as of all order and social progress and advancement ; and we pledge our earnest support of every loyal elfort of her Majesty's Government to bring to justice the perpetrators of these frightful atrocities, and prevent the commission of similar crimes." The resolution was signed by Edmond Reales, president; James Acland, Robert Cooper, Joseph Guedalla, L. S. Dickson, Wm. IT. Bonner, W. R. Cremer, S. Bright, Samuel Young, Geo. Jacob nolyoake, Geo. Odger, Le Luber, Geo. Howell, secretary. . .  Mr. lie-ales, at a public meeting held under the auspices of the League in St. James's.hall, spoke strongly on the same subject. He said attempts of the most frightful and wicked d .scription are being made to tear up our social system from the very foundation, and to inflict on our peaceful and happy homes almost the horrors of a civil war. As president of the Reform League, I avail myself of the first public opportunity of denouncing with all my heart and with all my soul and spirit the conduct with which what is called Fenianism has sought to redress the grievances of Ireland (applause). lam prepared to use all constitutional means to redress the wrongs of Ireland, but not for one single instant, nor in any way whatever, can I agree with those who seek to redress the wrongs of Ireland by the greater wrongs of wholesale murder and assassination of infants and children, and who, without having the courage to raise the standard of civil war, endeavour in secresy and in silence to visit upon us some of its most frightful enormities (applause). I do denounce that spirit 09 a scandal to the noble character, the high principle, the beautiful country, and as a scandal be the Christianity of the Irish ; and as an Englishman and president of the Reform League, I spurn all such spirit from me with loathing and with horror, and in uttering these sentiments I believe I am uttering the sentiments of all English, all Scottish, and all true Irish reformers (loud applause). Mr. Samuel Morley, who presided at the meeting, reechoed in milder words the opinions expressed by Mr. Reales, in whose wisdom he said he had much confidence. He believed that nine-tenths of the working men of England, now when their power is about to be enlarged, would utterly repudiate the recourse to any forcible and unconstitutional means for the redress of political grievances.  Pe what would a Yankee refuse to "speculate ?" gays the Daily. Telegraph. Milton finds fault with the god Mammon for occupying his time in heaven by gazing upon the costly floor of Paradise, "admiring more the riches of heaven's pavement, trodden gold, than aught divine or holy." A Yankee would offer to take the whole in a lot, in the hope that gold would be at premium in Wall-street when he went back. The last "notion" of American enterprise is reported from Ohio. A "peltry merchant" has bought an island in the river of that name, which lie means to stock with black cats, for the sake of the far. Of course be must at a the same time turn down a few million mice, or else contract for the supply of barge-loads of cat's.meat. Does he mean to "utilise" the bodies of his victims as rabbits and in the seductive form of sausages? Americans have good reason to tremble until the bankruptcy of this new "Hudson's Bay Company" be finally announced.  A
