FROM THE BoRDER-McLEoD.-Th is mo- thing new from Utica The city was crowded to excess by persons attracted thIher to witness that important trial. In our last paper, on the authority of the correspondent of the Journal of Commerce. it stated that the witnesses for and against the pro- secuon had not appeared on the calling of the Subsequent accounts say that great numbers had arrived on both sides. The witnesses for the pri- soner, appeared at the court in the British unorm which has given great offence to many of the bor- der people. Some of the whig letter writers state that the idea of an attempt the prisoner is treated with rdcule there, and that the Presidents recent proclamation relative to the suppression of ''lodges &c. is totally uncaled for-no such lodges being in existence.
 These opinions, however, contrary to all the facts gather from the papers.
 The Niagara (U. Canada) Chronicle, states that emmisaries had recently visited that district for the purpose of engaging persons to embark in enter prise for the invasion of the province, and that ten thousand said to be enrolled for this object
 From the following extracts it will be seen that the seizure of Grogan is acknowledged by the Cana da papers to have been caused by authority.

 We are happy to learn that a man (Grogan) noto- rious during the border disturbances in Lower Ca nada, has been arrested and lodged in ia But from a series of papers drawn up in consequence of the trial of West, (which we shall publish as soon as possible,) we fear that this man also will, by the grosses perjury, be able to eyafe justice.

 ''It is rumored that Navy Island is guarded hy the military and that M'Grahs Lancers round from Toronto to the lronlier.
 We do not from all these indications, positively predict any serious outbreak. Both governments are the alert and probably will intimidate all attempts of the kind. There is, however, large number of persons interested in war; that the danger, to say the least, is very imminent. At the time of the in surrection in 1888, hundreds of persons from the her country, including large numbers of halfpay off, cers, were pro6taby engaged as ge,s d'ormie. When the troubles ceased, these thrown out of employment, and it is thelr interest to renew them. Letters have been found on members of the "Hm- ers'Lodges, "rom persons of eminent station in Ca nada which show concusvely that it is not only the discontented and reckless men calling them selves patriots, that the bottom of these dis cnnfenla.
