TORONTO, G. W., Dec. 1st.-St. Albaa's
day was celebrated here quietly with SER
mon and supper in the evening.
Chief Justice Richards in the Court of
Common Pleas, announced yesterday that
judgment would be given to-day in the
case of the Fenian Slevin.
There was no motion made of applica-
ton on behalf of Mcmahon in the Court
of Queens Bench; but this being the last
day of the term, the decision is expected
to-day; also, it is understood, that the Fe-
mans recently sentenced to death in this
city, will probably be respited for three
months, to wait the result of the appeals in
their behalf before the courts.
A force of volunteers has been ordered
to Sweetsburg during the Fenian trials. A
part of them from Montreal and the re-
mainder from the Bedford battalion which
now numbers twelve companies. All the
local companies are warned to be in reali-
ness for service.

The city was full Of rumors yesterday in
reference to Mexican affairs, no doubt in

of dispatches. We are assured by those
who know that the matter has no reference
to the French, but we are not informed as
to what it does refer. The Government
is not accustomed to sending off private

hangs over this as we'll as all other Mexi
