EXCITEMENT ON THE APPREHENDED FENIAN INVASION OF CANADA—~OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. The threatened Fenian invasion of Canada, and the active military preparations to meet it, are prominest topics.

The 13th Hussars are also reported as uuder orders for Canade, and The Morning Post thinks it possible that still another cavalry regiment will pro- ceed to Canada as rapidly as possible, .The Daily Telegraph says Conada is 00 the brink of another and much more serivus invasion. f The Times remarks: obody supposes the Fenians are going to conquer Can- ads; but the contemplated movement I8 throwing sume beavy expenses ou the colont, and making some demands ou the Government at bome.” The Army and Navy Gazeue says that two ganboats, lately added to the list of the Royal navy on Canada waters, were purchased on the 8pot, and are manved by cflicers and men from the ship Octorora.

FOPULAR ENTHUSIASM IN PAVOR OF REFORM. After a few prefatory opening remarks, Mr. Bright thn poke of the great rising of the masses since the defent of the Rassell Gladstone Miniatry: Daring the lato sesaion of Parlisment, fn the debate on the reading of the Franchise bill, I took the opportunity of offer. ing o word of warning and of counsel to_that powerfal p-r:‘ in the House which opposed that bill, and in those words onsel 1 anked them to remember that, if they in the defeating of that bill, and in overthrow- the Government, that there would still remain the land to be met, and the elaim of llvn- question of for consideration and settloment. We b ol ing of Engl reform wait long before that which I foretold has come to pass. In London we seen assemblies of prople such as for s gene- Tation past have mot been witnessed. In many other parts of there have beon meetings greater than there o been for 30 years, mud Dotadly to-dny there bas been s voice given forin from the very ocenter and heart of Eagland which 'fllm‘u . l::' o lhl‘olu mference of:.m tnug.'lln joms, iy ' AD attempt to messurs numbers L were At this wom ¥ ther ¢ probably o this ball 6,000 persous.

At this momeut T am told there is an sudience far greater than that which 1 am now addressing, and, what is more, to mor- row moraing there will be millions of an andience through tho whole of the United Kingdom auxious to know what has been done and what has been said on this 27th of Augastia the great city of Birmingbao. THE TORY PARTY BITTERLY OPFOSED TO REFORM. Having discussed certain statistics relating to tho recently dofeated bill, Mr, Bright then proceeded as follows to preseat the Tory party in ite true colors: Now this Bill, so moderate that T confess that at first I gave the bope that it wonid pass throngh Parlisment without mu iifllenrt;, ‘wan resisted s if it had been charged with all Gangerous matter which tho Tory party actually attri to it it was |nm1u.d against o o manner, 1 had almost waid t 1 will sy more hateful than I bave seen durin ears T have sat in the House of Commons (** Shame” and finally, under every kind of false prefeuse, it waa rejected by & smail majority, fel, and the Government which bad pro- posed it fell with it. Now, the reason tbat I have given you theso figures is that T o show you the deperate rexola- tion of the prosent Gove ment and party which represonts the Tory party in Parliament to deny to the workiug classes of this country and shares in its goversment.

Covoxes: 1 havoe the honor to submit for the informa- tion of the commanding the following re- port conecrning the riot of the 30th ultimo. It was & matter of plhlinlmduyfinm(?mmuol of 1864 wa to meet here on that date. : Some weeks previously it bad been in session, and had continued its meetings during several days. Ithad ex- cited much opposition, and there were threats of breaking itup; yet it remained undisturbed, and to one upac- quainted with tbe political views sod considerations by which the persons hostile to it were influenced, there was 10 reason to suppose that the popoa! assemblage would not be passed by in the same peaceal ' manuer. Since the riot, I bave been informed by geatlemen of the highest character—planters of wealth snd influence, belonging to the party inimical to the Convention—that the question of its meeting had been by then fally dis- cussed in all of its bearings ; that it had becn proposed, first, to treat it with ridicule, next to go into the move- ‘ment, and, by supenor numbers, to send delegates to over- whelm and control it. But upon refleeting that the mem- Dbers already elected would be the judges as to the qualifi- cations of new ones, it was feared that this purpose might be frustrated, snd it wes then determined o treat the meeting as an unlawful assemblage, and o8- such to break it up at all hazards. 1 mention these facts to [spow that, while to those outs side the political arena the dangors of disturbance might bave appeared imminent, to one like myself—entirely oute side of the ring, keeping myself so,from o sensc of duty— 10 such view eould have presanted itself, bas They o also to show that tie ground that I took as td the right of the Convention to operate, 0 long a8 no oyert act of hostility to the established State government was committed, was not until & recent date disputed, and it in now maintained by many prowinens lawyers i this city. As to the Convention itsclf, being perdonaliy geqainted with but two or thred of its members, and ‘us | no intereonrse with them, I 1aay not have nuderstuod proper- 1y the object it had in view.” My information ‘concerming it -7as nearly all derived from unfriend) rees, but Jlmn . 1bad upod' tire subject, ¥ could not little knowledge reeive that the gentlemen coniposing this Convention aad any more authority to remodel the State government than auy other wésemn of citizens.
