The Detroit Feniaus, learn, have contributed
four thousand stand Of arms for the Irish in

1t il not to be disguised that the most grave
and cool judging officials are really spprehen-
sive Of trouble. You New Workers, who look
with such supreme Indifference upon the move
ments Of O'Alahony and the other factions Of
Fenians, would be astouishei at the importance
here given TO what happens in your city. In
terestei rarties have worked up this excitement
until it is really painful; they have magni6ed
the motley crowd that gathered the other Sun
day at Jones Woods. in your city, into grand
invading army OF a hundred thousand men with
supply, baggage and artillery trains; with ser
ried ranks Of cavalry and infantry, armed to
the full with the best results of modern science;
and so before this giant Of their own conjura-,,
ton, the Canadians are trembling with appre-
hension Of coming disaster.
The activity Of the military here is commend
able, particularly under the view of the stus-
ton. There are constant drills and reviews, and
the commonly quiet streets Of this slumberous
town are vocal with changing swords and the
rumble Of artillery wagons.

The SPRING TRADE.-The spring trade in
this city has not been so dull in several
years before. The occasion Of it il the un-
certainty felt by all classes Of business men
in regard to the future. There il prevail
ing impression that the present standard Of
prices are to some extent fictitious, and that
not much business, except that which brings
quick returns, can be safely done.
The heavy demand that followed the close
of the war when stocks were exhausted. and
so sustained prices, set at naught the calcu-
lations OF many persons, who had confident
ly predicted that great change would occur
as soon as peace came. But this demand IL
now nearly supplied, and buyers of every
class are " holding off," in the belief that
the chances Of the market are all in their
favor.
The tendency of prices are downward,
and vast amount Of property 10 selling BY
auction. These facts, taken in connection
with the recent decline in the premium on
gold, and tie expected excise legislation Of
Congress, explain the hesitation OF buyers
and the feverish excitement Of many holders
of goods.
There is now very little if any trade with
the interior Of the country.-N Y. Eve.
