From every quarter, says the Tribune,
since the English Government has led the
Fenians to believe it was frightened. letters
have been received containing the strongest
professions OF devotion to the cause of their
oppressed countrymen, and money to be ex.
pended for arms and munitions of war;
The longshoremen of Brooklyn are said to
have contributed 5000; and another circle,
location not given, is alleged to have been
forwarded to the headquarters in this city
the sum of $4,000 by express. The sale of
bonds, of all denominations, is represented
as exceedingly active, and $4,000 worth
had been taken at par up to p. NJ. of Satur.
day. Meetings have been held in nearly all
the circles, and preparations are being every
where made for the purpose of raising money
to meet the present emergency. The John
Mitchell circle, of Brooklyn, subscribed
81, 800 few nights ago, and kilograms from
all parts of the country announce that
Fenian bonds are in great demand
"A communication was received from the
Governor of North Carolina announcing that
the State had accepted lands donated BY the
General Government for educational pur-
poses, but the House-yeas 81, nays 100
refused to receive the paper or recognize the
State Government of North Carolina.
Messrs. Francis Thomas and j. J.. Thomas
voted with the majority, Mr.. Phelps with the
opposition. Mr.. Stevens submitted resolu-
ton, which was passed, calling on the Presi-
dent for information rs to the pardors grant
ed to Rebels worth over $50, 900, the seizure
and forfeiture of property, and of the restor-
alton OF the same to pardoned Rebels.
The Charleston South Carolinian states
that on the 23d ut. three thieves were found
dead behind the counter of druggist, in
King street in that city. 1t seems that
poison had been put in some food and placed
in convenient position, which the robbers
had eaten and died.

The Copperhe.ds who threw up their hats
for the Presidents Veto, with visions of fat
Offices before them, will soon begin to grum
BILE if they are longer neglected by him.
Their prospects in this quarter look rather
blue.
"Occasional, in one of his letters to the

Even within u few days he conferred Pres

The TEMPLE OF DIANA OF THE EPnEsIASs.-
This temple was built as Pliny says, on q
soft foundation to guard against earthquakes.
The foundation, therefore, was laid in q
swamp; wool and charcoal were interposed 10
absorb the wet, and the arches from a sub
terranean labyrinth, in which the water stag
mates; all which is so at the present day. The
superstructure bears all the evidence Of an
edifce which was destroyed eight tunes, and
took two hundred and eighty years in build
ing and rebuAding. 1t now consists Of sew
eral walls Of immense blocks Of marble, the
fronts Of which are perforated with small cav
tiles, into which were sunk the shanks Of the
brass and silver plates with which the walls
were faced. In several places where the walls
have fallen they have exposed cornices, and
moulderings of former edifce, against which
the newer walls had been built up. ..
Some Of the vast porphyry pillars, which
formed the front pOrtico, still lie PROSTATE be-
fore IL; but others were brought by Constan-
tine TO his new city Of Constantinople. The
heathen temple was dilapidated, TO build the
Christian church Of Santa Soshia, in which
these pillars are again become the great sup,
port Of an antiIC Christian edfce. But the
most interesting circumstance Of this build.
ing TO me is the great illustration il gives to
the Acts Of the Apostles. Here is the place
where st. Paul excited the ecommotion, among
the silver and brass smiths, who worked for
the temple; and over The way was the thea
tire, into which the people rushed, carrying
with them Caius and Aristarchus, Pauls
companions. Hence they got full view Of
the magnificent front Of the temple, which
they pointed out as that which all Asia
worshippeth," and in their enthusiasm they
cried out, Great is Diana Of the Ephesians p
to whom such temple belonged. .rr
