FROM NEW YORK.
The Feninn Army.

1
| New YORK, March 12.-The World of this
morning says: Companies and regiments
Of Fenians are being formed with great
rapidity, and 1t Is calculated that General
| Sweeny will be able, when he feels iusti-
| fled in calling for their service, to procure
25,000 able-bodied young men WHO have
seen service, in this city alone. 1t is known
that 10000 cartridge boxes and knapsacks
were bought at auction last week from a
well known house In Park Place, and GUAM
titles of arms and ammunition are being
negotiated for from day to day by officers
detailed for that purpose. 1t is probable
that Colonel Tressham will command the
first Fenian regiment from this CITY, and
well known Southern cavalry officer the
second. An artillery regiment is also being
raised, and an independent battalion for
special service under the command of Col.
Murphy, veteran soldier. ..
Significant Movements.
The Herald says: Movements of signifi-
cance were reported to be in process of
preparation here yesterday, and funds con-
tinue to pour into the Fenian Treasury.
Astounding Developments.
In Washington it is said that the Fenians,
in order to exhibit the perfidy of the
British Government, will shortly make
some astounding developments in regard
to the direct assistance given by agents of
Earl Russell to the late rebellion in the
South. ..
Preparations for the Celebration
of St. PHGrick's Day.
Extensive preparations are being made
by the Irish citizens of the Metropolis for
the celebration of st. Patrick's day. Col.
O'Mahony has issued an order for the pa
rade, on that occasion, of the 09th Regiment
of National Guards. The Knights of st.
Patrick will celebrate the day bya banquet
at the Macon Doree, in Union Square.
Another meeting OF the Irish societies of
Brooklyn was held yesterday, at which all
the arrangements for the anniversary pro-
cession in that city were completed.
Another Robbery of Securities.
New York, March l2.-It is reported on
Wall street that another great robbery of
securities has occurred. No particulars,
except that the amount of loss is half a
million dollars.
Fir anciaI.
New YORK, Mach 12.-The Commercial
says: The stock market shows more spec
ulaive activity. The clique operating in
Michigan Southern are buying up large
amount Of stock, and the price rose to rs,
an advance of IA. Erie was again on the
active, at S254@S3114. Governments still
firm, but only moderately active. Border
State bonds still weak. Missouri 6's declin-
ed 4 per cent closing at II. The excite
ment in gold stock continues.
The money market exhibits increasing
ease. The surplus funds resting in the
hands of private bankers appear to have
considerably augmented during the last
few days, and money is freely offered at
per cent. on call. Some OF the banks ask z
per cent. on demand loans, but Others are
lending freely at per cent. There is per-
ceptible increase in the amount of paper
Offering for sale, and the rates of discount,
consequently, do not sympathize with the
greater ease on call loans. Prime paper
sells at 712@S per cent, with exceptions at
per cent. Good names at 500. ..
The Bank statement shows the large in
crease of $5,5Sl $50 in legal tenders, and
decrease Of $2,27l,l3 in loans. The de-
posts also show falling off OF $l2S,407.
Gold is somewhat excited under specula-
tive operations. On Saturday, firms inter-
ested in stock operations bought up large
amount Of gold, reported at $2000,000, for
producing sympathetic aid in the bull
movements. To-day the same parties are
sellers, but cannot find buyers at the ad-
vanced figures. The tendency of the mar
ket is strongly downward, and in some
quarters 125 is regarded as not an improb-
able figure during the current month.
Foreign exchange is quiet. Leading
drawers quote 60 days sterling at lOS56@
1881, but there are no transactions of mo-
menG. Francs, long date, are quoted at
52l14@5l624.
