A St. Albans special to the Journal says
There were no arrivals of Fenians this morn
ing but numerous departures of the brother
hood for their homes. Col Donnelley's COM
pany of Is have left for Springfield, and be-
tween seventy-five and hundred who have
struggled in from the front and been lettering
about town, have just left on the tram for
Boston. They were provided with transpor-
tation by the u. S. Government, and were very
grateful for it. They say as soon as it becomes
nishing them with transportation home the
Fenian army will be among things that were.
There has been movement made on the
part of the British Government which will
probably hasten the dispensing of the Fenian
invaders. Last evening there were thirty cars
of British regulars, some $500 landed at
Farnvm, which is about fourteen miles from
st. Johns, on the Waterloo road, and point
nearly opposite the invaders.

The Tribune's special dispatch from Malone
last night says the, arrest of Gen. Heffernan
caused great dependency in the Fenian ranks.
He had gone to the depot to take the train for
st. Adams, from which p0ini an attack was to
be made at once. On reaching The depot an
old acquaintance named Major Mount, of Al
bany, shook hands with him. Mount then
went to Major Silvey, of the U. s. regulars,
and pointed Heffernan out as aleading Feni-
an He also pointed out Col. Quiun. Both
of these officers were Immediately arrested.
The officers then went to the hotel and arrest
ed Gen. Murphy. The following list compris-

There has been continued excitement of Fe-
nian circles all day. Roberts refused bail,
though $4,000 was offered by his friends and
was at last consigned to the Ludlow street
jail. Crowds of excited Irish were about the
Jail denouncing the President and Secretary
Seward, but no attempts were made TO rescue
Roberts. Hotel proprietors refused to receive
Roberts in their houses while under arrest.
Roberts has issued an appeal to Fenians to
keep united.
Col. Kerrigan is still rctually engaged at
Tammany Hall in raising a brigade. He has
5000 men and only waits money for transpor-
