APPREHENSION OF ANOTHER FE NIN RAID. We perceive that our friends in the Pro-

vinee of Ontario ar apprehensive that the Fe- nians will make ancher raid across the fron- tier some time duing the goming summer. The rounds for suh apprehensions rest upon the fact that Peniaism is still ramjpaut in the | United States, and hat the active “fighting” Fenians are probaby as uumerous NOW as ever lthey were in the Anerican Republic. If we ean rely upon repots contained in ‘ate New York papers, respeting Fenian doings, the accursed organizatpu is better provided with arms than ever hetire. We are told by the New York World.that the “ brotherhood’ are turnished with fieldguus, of the mostapproved pattern, and that their small arms ure also among those of the latest improvement. But arms alone aré not sufficient to successfully accomplish an expedition, such as that con templated br the Fenians; money is the sinews of war, and the want of this ve y necessary article constitutes the chiet difficulty which the Fenians meet with at every step they take, whether is Ireland or America. ‘The of funds en hand, ever according to their own shewing,is but a very limited sum, and they iknow no where to obtain an additional sup ly.

Thus their actions must necessa ily be par alyzed 11 the ve rv beginning ot any movemet I they may make for the invasion of the Pro- vince of Ontario, or other parts of the Do winion But suppose the marauders could raise ove handred thousand well armed and diseiplined soldiers, with trained oflicers to ltead them, and farther that they had an ample | cominissariat to defray all expenses, such n iforce cuuld no more subjugate any portion of j the Dominion than it could conquer any count- 'yyin Europe, No such invariig force coud hold Canada for a single month, perhaps not fora day.

In the House of Commons this evening, John Bright presented a petition from Nova Seotia, praying that Parliament would repeal the act by which that Province was united to the Dominion of Canada. The petitioners de- nounce the Canadian Union Act as an evil un- called for and unjust, the result of a surprise sprung on the people, and of fraud practiced upon Parliament. After the reading of the document, the evening of the 26ih iust., was assigned for debate on the subject.
