NEW YORK, June 18-The morning pa
,ers have the following special dis
MATCHES from Washington:
After the adjournment of the Senate
rial Executive session on Friday, it was
agreed in an informal way, by the Sena-
tors. that they would make no more con-
firmations during the present session of
Congress, except in case ofappointments
to fill vacancies. This reported deter
mination of the Senate is important to
the country and to the scores Of persons
awaiting executive action.
It's understood that the Forthcoming
report of the Committee on Banking and
Currency will show that most of the Ma
ti6nal Banks and Sub-Treasuries of the
United States have responded to Mr..
Hooper's circular asking their values
subject to the drafts of the Government,
and to those of disbursing officers. The
figures were about as follows in the ag-
gregate on May 1st. 1866: Coin on hand,
S94 600, 900; currency in sub-Treasury and
National Banks, S136, ,000, 900; total, $780,
100000. Deduct the amount on deposit
to the credit of disbursing officersi SAL
100000; balance subject to the United
States Treasurer's draft, S1S9,00O, 900.
The returns yet to come i'll are expected
to swell the amount of fGOvernment funds
on hand at that time in these institu-
tions about S2,000000 more.
The first official copy of the constitu-
tional amendment was sent yesterday
by the Hon. S. L. Warner to Gov. Haw-
lev of Connecticut.
In anticipation Of Congress author
iZing the creation of more National
Bank several State Banks have already
filed their application for conversion into
the same with the currency bureau. The
total number of banks is 1868; circula-
tion, $3.50, ,263, 800, of which amount
Sl,35S,2I5 were issued last week.
A Tribune special says Mr.. Kelly,
Tribune correspondent has been re-
leased,
George Crawford, an alleged Fenian
spy, of Freleighsburg, is under arrest
and it is said the evidence against him
is very strong. 1t is said the prisoners
will be sent to Sweetsburg for trial
A Montreal special to the Tribune
says: Special reports Just received at
Freleighsburg from scouts on the line,
hint at another invasion tonight of the
Fenian forces. The line is picketed by
the 4th Rifle Brigade, 7th Royal Fusi-
leers, 25th Kings Own, and Borderer's
Battery of Armstrong guns.
A st. Armand special to the Tribune
last uight says: No movement was OBJ
served on the line last night. Hints Of
another invasion were caused probably
by the movements of Fenians from Ma
lone to st. Albans. The damages done
at Pigeon Hill and city of Freleighsburg
will probably amount to $4,000. At
examination yesterday state of war
against Her Majesty was established
The prisoner Wiugate was identified as
having made threats to shoot several of
the inhabitants.
Senator Brown has returned nearly re-
covered in health.
Official information received here
shows that while the Fenian movement
may be dead for the present, it still re-
tains the same clement, anu materially
aid in another spasmodic effort when
ever an opportunity occurs. Quantities
of arms and ammunition are still NOV
ing to various places Of deposit, and es-
pecially in Pennsylvania. The organiza-
tiou is very strong throughout the coun-
try, but especially at the South, where
there is a large proportion who will hail
fighting opportunity with great
pleasure.
Quincy Adams Brooks has received
the appointment of Special Agent OF the
Post Office Department for the Pacific
coast, in place of Col. Markland, re-
signed. The latter has withdrawn from
the Post Office Department to engage in
the practice of the law as an advocate
in the departments of this city.
