It will str ko people ag a very extraordinary fact, that tue great British empire oanao! bold ite political prisoners in ty within its own borders, but has to hurry them on board trans port ships and k»ep them at sea for fear of rescue, The Atlaatic telograph informs us that the Fenian prisoners, bi:verto in custody in the jails ot England, have b»ea hastily pa’ on ship- board wits the intention of seading them to Australia, thore to work oat their term of penal servitude. Two of he leaders of Fenian- ism, one of them a former al ofl-er on General Thomas’ siaff in the Uiion army ot the West, were rescued by the people in Manches- ter the other day, and other évidences of the vitality of the Irisi branch of the Feniau move- ment—which appears to bo altogetheré dif- ferent thing from tho monsy-gathering ma- chinery in America—so alarmed the govern- ment that they canno: trust their jails with the cus ody of some forty prisoners. Suppose that the people of Australia should object to receive these convicts, as the colonis's of the Cape of Good Hope and the Legislature of Victoria once before very emphatically did, what then? Suppose that they ave landed in Australia, are they any safor there than in England? Australia is almost an Irish colony, The sympathy of its people is far more with political prisoners than with the British gov- ernment, And what is to prevent the Fenian element in California, which is represented to be stronger and more earnest than in any other part of the United States, from making the safe- keeping of these prisoners in Australia an im- possibility? Other revolutionary leaders were snatched out of the hands of their jailers ia ‘Van Dieman’s Land by the same process, not many years ago. However, the curious part of the affair is, that the British government admits ite Inability to hold forty convicted and manacled gentlemen securely in its prisons Who bas drawn the Hion’s teeth ?

An International Copyright Law. For thirty-five yoars the Herarp has advo- eatel an intervational law in the true intor- } j es's of authors, publishers and the public. | But the adopiion of such a law has been de- layed by the imbeciliiy of authors, the folly and robbery of publishers and tho sbori- sighted selfishness of all concerned.
