NEW YORK, NOV. 16.-Daniel Carpen-
ter, s. X. Inspector of the Metropolitan
Police, died very suddenly in this CITY
last evening, from what is supposed TO
have been disease of the heart.
Evidence has been accumulated
against some of the leading Insurance
underwriters and agents In this CITY,
and Is now in possession of Superifi-
tendent Barnes, which duplicates them
very seriously in illegal transactions.
New YORK, Nov. 1G--The Evening
Express says the most active prepara5
ttonslare now being made at roberts,
Headquarters for n grand movement
against Canada, During the last fort
night some of the leading military ofl-
GERS OF the organization have held a
consultation in relation to the miIitorv
programme to be adopted when the Fe-
MAN forces move from their respective
States across the frontier. The result
of their deliberations is at present a pro-
found secret, but General O,Seil.
Spear, and President Roberts frankly
aVow that the new movement means
work against the British authorities in
Canada. 1t Is said that the discipline
OF the next army of invasion will be far
superior and more effective than that
ofWhieh the detachmest at Limestone
Ktdge was the advance guard.
Twelve thousand moro have already
been enrolled under the title of the
"Fenian Avengers" who have pledged
themselves to be ready at any moment
to prevent the execution of Lynch and
the other prisoners. These have been
divided into regiments and brigades.
and when all the men deemed necessa-
ry shall have taken the pledge opera
tions will commence.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 16.-Judge Ed
monds, of Vermont, of the committee
of Congress instructed to ascertain in
which branches of the Government
service the expenses can be reduced.
and what reforms can be made, has
been at the Custom House of this CITY
for two days, and has examined sever
al persons in regard to salaries, peruui-
sites, fees, &C., frauds, or Attempted
frauds, the recent political tax on the
customs, naval office and the Survey
ors office, and the probable effect OF a
change in the revenue department
which should have the tenure of office
depend upon the good behavior of the
ofhce-holder. There is also several 9TH
er objects Of inquiry, but these are the
most prominent. It appears to be the
object fthe committee to gain as much
information as possible, with reference
to future legislation. It is likely that
extensive changes in the law will be
proposed, and it is supposed that the
chief of these will relate to the remod-
deling of the financial departments of
the Government service. The opinion
that efficient men cannot be secured
and retained while political influence
determines appointments and remove
ais, is very generally expressed. A bill
was drawn up at the last session of
Congress to make a change in this mat
ter, but 1t did not become law.
