The Royal mail steamship Eimalaya has

establishment OF depots of arms at convenient
points. At Erie this was i'll managed. The
agent there had been instructed to ADVERTISE
sale of military weapons and equipments. in
order to cover the reception and storage of
such property as legitimate transaction of
commerce. He misunderstood his instruc-
tions, failed to advertise, and the muskets in
his hands were seized by the government Off
cials. s8 49,
In Buffalo there was more cuteness, as we
infer, without any positive knowledge, from
an advertisement which has appeared for sew
eral days past in the columns of The Express,
announcing "peremptory sale of muskets, RI
fles and commissariat stores, by p. O'Day, at
his auction and commission rooms, Nos. 20
and % Pearl street, Friday morning, June 1st,
on account OF whom it may concern" Our
reporters visited Mr.. O'Day's establishment
yesterday in pursuit of information, but were
assured that the boxes of muskets, pistols,
etc., had not been opened would not be open
ed until Friday, and that the consignee knew
nothing whatever yet as to the quality, manu-
facture, pattern or value. of his weapons, not
even sufficient to recommend them to a pur
chaser One side of Mr. ODays establish
ment seemed to be filed with formidable box
es, sufficient to contain, If packed with mus
kets, sufficient for the arming of brigade.
The cellar of his establishment has long been
understood to be the arsenal and drill room
of the F. B., but darkened windows have kept
its secret well from prying eyes. = > : ~
" THE GATHERING OF FORCES tTOT
On Tuesday last, from all the information
we can gather, the concentration of Sweeney's

Cincinnati, indianapolis, Columbus and other
western points, quiet movement of men
commenced, tending to this point. Our dis
patches yesterday morning announced the
passage of one body through Cleveland.

Fenian Matters in Buffalo.

On Monday or Tuesday evening of last
week, council of war was held, and its sit
ting continued until three o'clock in the morn
ing. The debate upon the question, to do or
not to do, was long, earnest, impassioned.-
Gen. Sweeney declared that something must
be done, or attempted to be lone, in Canada,
whatever its result, in order to rescue the or
der and all belonging to it from disgrace. His
desperate arguments prevailed against feeble
opposition, and when the council broke up the
die had been cast, the programme for Canadi-
an invasion laid out, the orders for striking
pronounced. = gtf 3s,rf afF
