January 25,

During the past two'days the police at Chelsea and Windsor have received secret and apparently trustworthy information that the Fenians were maturing plans for outrages at those two places. The Constabulary, therefore, have been increased, and other precautionary measures are being taken by the authorities. The Boer leuders have made overtures to several prominent Zulu chiefs to join them, but none as yet have shown any symptoms of dissatisfaction, and every precaution is being taken to prevent a rising in _ul&!a_d. January 27.

Severe shocks of earthquake have again been felt at Agram, the capital of Croatia, in Austria. Numerous meetings are being held throughout the United States for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the Irish Land League. The meetings are attended for the most part by the Irish section of the population, and not much importance is attached to the movement, January 29.

It has been decided to introduce a clause into the Irish Coercion Bill making it retrospective in its operation. This will enable the Government to arrest and imprison persons guilty of crimes committed prior to the passing ot the Act.

The death is announced of LieutColonel Lyster, of the Bengal Infantry, whose distinguished service in the field during the Indian mutiny was rewarded by the decoration of the Victoria cross in 1858.
