The frequent threats of burning have caused an uneasy feeling, and at most of the banks, ware houses, and hotels the precaution has been taken of having some of the employes up all . night to keep watch and give an alarm if necessary. MANCHE STER, Friday. Father Gadd this morning again visited the pri soners, who received his consolations in a very ap preciative spirit. Gould maintains a very quiet demeanour, and supports his position with great fortitude. At 1.30 this afternoon Larkin's mother, wife, and children visited him. His mother, pre vious to going to the cell, was very much excited, and repeatedly exclaimed while waiting in the cor ridor of the prison that her son would not be executed, and the rope was Rot yet spun which would hang him. Two of Larkin's sisters-in-law, who are said to have come from Dublin, presented themselves at the prison gates, and requested to see him ; but as the unhappy man had expressed no special desire to see them, the authorities deemed it advisable not to admit them. Allen's mother visited her son between one and two o'clock. Father Gadd had a conversation with the friends of the condemned men previous to their being admitted to the cells, and stated that the men were preparing themselves in a becoming manner to meet their doom. Shore, who had apparently become resigned to meet the capital sentence, received the intimation that a respite had been accorded him in a becoming spirit. The Manchester Guardian says :—" Carriage traffic in New Bailey -street was stopped at noon on Thursday. The barricades will be numerous and of great strength. We are informed that, in addi tion to the cavalry and infantry, an artillery force, with several cannon, will be stationed within the barricade, in readiness to act at a moment's notice. The erection of the scaffold was commenced on Thursday morning. New Bailey -street was crowded, and the operations of the workmen were watched with eager curiosity by numbers of persons who had evidently come from the country districts. The street was almost impassable.. The barricades are arranged at such short intervals that the dangers arising from the pressure of dense masses of persons will be reduced to a premium, inasmuch as the crowd will be broken up at intervals of about 30 yards. It is stated that considerable sums have been paid for accommodation in some of the shops and houses fronting the place of execution. Instances are not wanting, however, where the more respectable in habitants have refused to let their premises to per sons desirous of gratifying a morbid curiosity. The convict Allen was visited on Thursday by three of his aunts. The entrance of these persons into the prison was noticed, and when it became known that they were friends of the convict thousands congre gated in Stanley-street and waited for their reap pearance. On 1 hursday a kindly, simple-hearted woman presented herself at the prison gate, and requested to be allowed to send in a little luxury for Allen. The luxury turned out, upon examina tion, to be a can of beer. Of course her request was refused, and she thereupon bestowed the beer upon one of the police officers on duty in the street." BIEIIINGIIAM, Friday Eveni n g. IThe disturbances in this town on Wednesday even ing, the result of the attempt made by some members of the Reform League to excite sympathy for the Fenian convicts, were repeated, under different cir cumstances, last night. Before 7 o'clock there was a gathering of some hundreds of fellows at the back of the Town-ball. They were of the class who are always ready for any kind of mischief or depreda tion. It has been said that their ostensible object was to hold a meeting in favour of hanging the Manchester convicts ; be that as it . may, the police were in readiness, and dispersed the mob as soon as it began to collect. Driven from one locality, those assembled made off for other parts of the town, shouting and otherwise disturbing the street as they passed along. A body of them, estimated at 600 strong, proceeded to the Roman Catholic Cathedral and endeavoured to obtain admission, but failed to do so ; .the gates were closed against them, and the edifice was in other respects defended by a number of Irish who were on the spot. The mob then re sorted to the ordinary mode of violence—that of breaking the windows ; but a body of police soon came up and the rioters made off at once. They again divided and took various directions, but made chiefly for localities in which other Roman Catholic places of worship were situate. It was reported that the intention was to attack the Oratory ; the probability, however, is that there was no design but that of lawlessness. One gang, said to be 1,000 strong, went to St. Alban's Church, but in this and every other instance the police were prepared, and on the approach of the civil force the mob invari ably ran away. Not more than one or two arrests have been made, one of them a boy of 14 ; but these attempts to get up a tumult serve to show that there exists a strong disposition in that direction, and having been so thoroughly warned it will be the fault of the executive if any serious outbreak takes place. NIGHT, 11.20. The town is perfectly quiet. A mob gathered early in the evening, evidently intent on mischief at the Roman Catholic Cathedral or at St. Alban's Church, but the Irish wore in great force armed and the police were at all points, so any collision was prevented. The Hayor and some of the magis trates sat at the Town-hall en permanence: Whether or not the executioner was nervous, and had failed to adjust the rope as effectually as in the other cases, it is certain that Larkin died veryslowly, and after a painful struggle. Neither of the men attempted to say anything on the scaffold, except repeating the Ns olds of a Litany. The drawing of the fatal bo]t seemed to com pletely p , arrTse the hurnensc crowd, and after a few tnuments of comparative dead silence, the people seemed to recover animation, and, in much better order than the most sanguine person expected, it dispersed without the slightest display of feeling of any sort. MANcnESTER, Midnight. Up to 12 o'clock all was quiet. Numbers of people have visited the neighbourhood of the place of execution during the last six hours, but there are comparatively few now. The questien, " Has there been any rerrieve received ?" meets you at every turn. COLOAIAL GO TIGH.II 31ENT SECUEITIE3.

During the time it raged, although dismasted and damaged her self, the Spanish war steamer Vasco Nunez de Bilbao kept steaming about the harbour of St. Thomas, saving the lives of the crews of vessels capsized and otherwise in distress. LIVERPOOL. The arrangements made by the authorities of Liverpool for the preservation of the peace in that town are most complete. At different stations a Urge body of police is posted, acting as military , guards with every appliance for instant communi cation with the head office. These detachments can be concentrated at a moment's notice at any given point, and, as all the men have been accustomed to military drill, will form a force capable of opposing or driving before them a very large mob. The troops at present in the town, including a detach ment of the 15th Hussars and another of Royal Artillery, number about 750, and with these a body of 350 of the local pensioners, are ready to act on the briefest notice. The troops have received orders to parade and march through the town every Tues day and Friday. They did so yesterday, headed by General Sir John Jones, K.C.B. The town was unusually quiet yesterday, and there was not the slightest symptom of any premeditated disturbance. So far, at all events, the fears of the timorous have proved groundless. Her Majesty's gunboat Viper has arrived in the Mersey. Colonel Smith, principal barrackmaster at Alder shot t, and the Rev. E. J. Rogers, Principal Chaplain to the Forces, have been granted leave of absence. Hon. G. A. Tulin, Ex-Consul General of Sweden and Norway, and of Prussia, iu Genoa, writes Doc. 16, 1865, to Hou.

The dread sentence of the law was this morning carried into effect, and Allen, Laskin, and Gould the men found guilty of the murder of Sergeant Brett —were executed at the New Bailey at S o'clock. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the pro . ceedipgs during the night was the absence of the ordinary crowd which makes its appearance on such occasions. The streets were almost deserted; all was dead silence in the n aid thoroughfares radiating from the Exchange. Chapel-street, in Salford, presented a similar spectacle. Except where here and there an isolattd potato vendor had erected his stall in the neighbourhood of a barricade, scarcely a soul was to be seen for several hours before or after midnight. The only crowd observable was that formed by the special constables in the space directly in front of the scaf fold. The respectable and well-disposed inhabitants of both boroughs seem to have yielded implicit obe dience to the request made by the Mayors of Man chester and Salford. The civil and police precautions against a rescue were of the most elaborate character. In addition to the barriers crossing the New Bailey-street at each eud of the thoroughfare were barriers still stronger. Every side street leading to the gaol was similarly provided, and on the Albert Bridge strong bars of timber were placed. By the side of the bridge, opposite the Albert Hotel, is a street leading t o the ordinary entrance to the prison. Where this street joins New Bailey-street a strong barricade of thick planks, 12ft. to 15ft. in height, was erected, partly as a screen or defence, in case a rush were made for the main entrance of the gaol, in which the condemned cells are at precisely the corner farthest away from the gates. Inside the gaol were - two guns, attended by 30 men of the Royal artil lery, corn mended by two officers, and 114 men of - the 72d Highlanders. At the back of the gallows a small platform, commanding New Bailey-street and the houses opposite, was prepared, to be manned with soldiers to resist any attempt at rescue that might be made. A cavalry reserve was established in a railway goods depot at the back of the prison ready to sweep round by the prison gates into New Bailey-street if required. A company of the 54th Regiment was also stationed on the viaduct of the London and North-Western Railway, where it crosses New Bailey-street, in such a position that their Spiders could sweep the thoroughfare. It was an essential part of the military disposition, which was in charge of Col. Ward, C. 8., that the soldiers should be kept out of sight as much as possible, the troops not engaged about the gaol being held ready in their barracks. Captain IV .C. Sylvester, Chief Constable of Salford, bad charge of the police ar rangements. The New Bailey is situated in Salford, at the lower end of Manchester, on the banks of the River Irwell, which runs in front of its prin cipal entrance, and is defined by a circu lar wall 40 feet high, which encloses the prison. The building is approached by five of the principal streets of ' Manchester, all of which converge into Bailey-street, a thoroughfare similar to the Old Bailey in London. About the centre of the wall the brickwork was knocked away, and an aperture about 30ft. wide made. Immediately under this opening, which was at least 30ft. from the ground, the platform or g allows was erected. It projected about 4ft., and was from 16ft. to 18ft. in length. At either of the projecting corners was fixed a stout support upon which a beam rested. Three strongholds were screwed into the beam about 3ft. apart, and to each of which was attached a rope. From 3 to 4 o'clock the crowd began perceptibly, though not in any remarkable numbers, to increase, pressing with greater density upon the solid bar riers. On Abert-bridge, near to which the artillery was stationed, the amusement of the several crowds who were fain to content themselves with a distant and very imperfect view of the lofty gallows, con tinued to take a musical turn, slow and solemn chaunts being preferred, but not exclusively, inas much as the singing of " Champagne Charlie" was more than once or twice attempted, and as often repressed, by general expostulation, as well as by the remonstrances of the police and special constables. The sound of whistles or fifes, not unskilfully played, was occasionally heard. Fenian sympathy was not by any means so noticeable in these newly-gathered bodies of people as it had been in the earlier assem blies, which began to disperse after midnight, but the feeling of the minority had contrived to make itself disagreeably known within the gaol, and in the course of the night the following letter was received by Calcraft it Sir—lf you hang any of the gentlemen con demned to death at the New Bailey prison, it wil belhoeworse for you. You will not survive after wards." On receipt of this missive, Calcraft, who ap peared somewhat perturbed by its threats, wrote as follows to the visiting justices I received enclosed letter, and it seems a serious job. I hope you will look after it, and that I shall get safe home again." In the neighbourhood of Salford, and in quarters principally inhabited by a labouring population of the lowest class, half the houses showed signs of waking life within, or poured forth their male and female occupants on the pave ment. The Irish to a man, and certainly to a woman, were up and about; every female form being covered with the shawl, worn hood-fashion. The greater number are strangers in Manches ter—last night was winaistakcably denoted by the fact that not one person in five could point out the way to any spot wken asked to do so Up to five o'clock the crowd, which was now doubled in the vicinity of the gaol, included ♦ery few women. The space kept clear in front of the drop, for a considerable distance on either hand, re sounded with the quick step of the special con stables, who varied the monotony of their watch, and at the same time kept off the cold, by exercise. As the time drew on, the mars of human faces stretching from the barrier at Albert-bridge far back beyond the Salford bound into Manchestei became a sight never to be forgotten. Within the goal a silence almost oppressive, and forcibly contrasting with the great roar of the crowd outside prevailed. Late last evening the Rev. Mr. Keats and a Catholic priest, from Ranksbottow, near Ilud den:Seld, arrived at the gaol to visit the con vict Alien. He had been specially sent for by Allen's mother, and he remained some time with Allen, and also had interviews with Larkin and Gould. lie found all three extremely depressed, especially Allen. They all went to bed at half-past 11 o'clock, and passed a tolerably quiet night. They were awakened at a quarter to 5, and were at mass at half past 5. "' , hey were attended by the Rev. Canon Cantwell, the ;Rev. Father Truck, and Father Gadd, and all paid the gre.ttest attention to their devotions. They were firm during the pro cess of pinioning, which was performed while the prayers of the Church were being read. On each Bide of the drop were two platforms filled with mili tary, who were ordered to he down out of sight ; two corps with loaded arms were drawn up inside. Precisely at two minutes past eight th e conv i cts made their appearance, preceded by the Under She- ' riff ; then came Canon Cantwell, followed by Allen, and supported by two warders, and after them Lar kin. They all walked upon the scaffold, fervently repeating the prayers after the rev. gentleman. Allen appeared first on the scaffold, and Gould came next. He immediately went close up to Allen, with whom he shook hands, afterwards kissing him upon the right cheek. Larkin, who was the last to appear upon the drop, seemed at first the most collected of the three. He took his place without seeming to notice any of his companions, but he fainted before the drop fell.

The adjourned special general meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern for the purpose of considering the advisability of reconstructing the present board of directors. At the last meeting a committee was appointed, who have sinco reported that in their opinion the names of four directors should be struck off the list, namely, Mr. G.)odson, M.P.., Major Jervis, M.P., Mr. G. Josselyn, and Mr. G. Palmer. In acknowledging the report the four gentlemen in timated that in the event of such a resolution being carried they should decline to acknowledge its legality until confirmed by a court of law. Mr. S. 11. PAnKr.s, after commenting on past circumstances, moved a resolution reducing the number of directors to eleven, mentioning the names of eleven of those now on the board, and er c!nding the four gentlemen above named—Mr. Palm , r only being mentioned as one of the Northern ;Ind Eastern directors, who might substitute any otEer naive. Mr. BINSTOW seconded the ;notion. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Christie, Sergeant Spinks, Mr. Burke, Q.C., and other gentlemen, the discussion being of a very mis cellaneous character. At length the resolution was carried with but two dissentients, and a resolution continuing the com mittee was adopted. LONDON GAZETTE.-LAST EVENING, ADMIRALTY, Nov. 19.

The following statement of the business and operations of the Central Pacific Railroad Com pany, brought up to a late date, is submitted for the information of investors and holders of the first mortgage bonds and others. The natural business of the road exceeds all pre vious estimates, and establishes it as one of the most important and profitable lines of communication on the continent. The earnings and expenses of the ninty-four miles open for traffic, for the quarter ending September 30, are as follows, in gold : Gross earnings..,.. $556,509 30 Operating expenses Nett earning 454,888 41 This result was upon the actual, legitimate, local business alone, with less than the ordinary propor tion of Government transportation, and under the disadvantage that passengers and freight had to be forwarded by waggons, from the temporary terminus, at the summit of the mountains ; and is also independent of the transportation of men and materials for the extension of the road. This ratio of profit (nearly 82 per cent. of the gross earnings) is without parallel, even among the oldest roads in existence ; and is in fact nearly three times the ratio of the best leading lines of the country. The following is a copy of the sworn statement returned to the Treasury Department for the month of August. Since its receipt (by mail) we are advised by telegraph that the earnings for the month of September were $200,400 in gold, while the expenses were about the same as for August : rARNIN . Gs.

Upward of $13,000,000 in gold were estimated to have been paid in a single year (1863) for team-freights, ono way only, across the Sierra Nevadas. The popula tion and the production of these important regions bearing the precious metals have steadily in creased since that time, and a still more active set tlement is awaiting the further extension of the railroad. The company is justified in charging the; maxi mum rates-10 cents per mile for passengers, and 15 cents per ton per mile for freight—and these are cheerfully paid, being less than one third what was formerly paid for far less expedition, comfort, and security. The eastern terminus of the track has been throughout this period at Cisco, 94 miles from Sa cramento, and nearly 6,000 feet elevation above sea level, and the earnings will be immensely increased when the track is extended entirely across the Sierra Nevadas, which it is hoped may be done during the present year. The Great Summit Tunnel, the last and most important on the line, was opened in August last. Twenty-five miles on the eastern slope, following the valley of the Truckee River, have been graded, rails laid, and a locomotive placed thereon, which are now nearly ready for the inspection of the Government Commissioners. All the available force is now being concentrated upon the intervening section of 11 miles, between the completed portions on each side of the range, which is in a forward state; and it is thought the whole distance between the navigable waters of the Pacific and the populous counties of Western Nevada, in the Salt Lake Basin, may be successfully and re gularly operated during the current year. Nearly 10,000 men arc at work, and iron, materials, and equipments arc at hand for 360 miles. The importance of this achievement, and the financial resources of the company, as well as their future prospects, may be understood when it is known that nearly half the entire cost of prepar ing the road-bed on the 800 miles between San Francisco and Salt Lake is concentrated upon the 1.50 miles now nearly finished and paid fur. The company has overcome the only .consider able obstacle on their portion of the National through-line, and will commence the easier work of building the 680 miles of light grades across the great basin under the most favourable auspices. It is an important fact, that along this portion of the line there are no Indians, and consequently no trouble from their hostility ne.A be feared by this company. The business between the Pacific coast and the great mining regions of Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and Montana, is already very large, and will be proportionately profitable with that over the mountain section. - The Government subsidy between the two ranges of mountains is $32,000 per mile, which is more than the estimated cost of construction. By be coming a joint investor in the magnificent enter prise, and by waiving its first lien in favour of the first -mortgage bondholders, the general Govern ment, in effect, invites the co-operation of private capitalists, and carefully guards their WWII:8W against ordinary contiDgoacio..
