Mr.. A. 7. Stewart appeared before Justice
Dowling, at the Tombs Police Court, yesterday
morning, and entered complaints against Richard
4. Colburn, q sub-editor of the New York
Tribune, and Messrs. George Knapp, N. Paschall
and John Knapp, iproprietors OF the St. Loui
Missouri Republican. s
The complaint in the case charges Mr.. Col
burn, as correspondent of the Missouri Repu5ti-
can, with making certain statements in one OF
his letters, dated at New York, rejecting on Mr.
Stewards private character and moral standing,
which are untrue and malclously llbellous. 1t
further charges the proprietors OF the Missouri
ReDUbRcdn with completely in the matter, mas
much as they allowed the letter to be published
An affidavit was made against Mr.. Colburn, as
the writer OF the article, and Justice DoWllng
issued warrants for the arrest OF Richard L. Col
burn and George Knapp, and placed than in the
hands of Officer John A. Croker, attached to the
Tombs Court, for execution. Accordingly,
Officer Croker repaired to the Tribune office yes
terday, and arrested Mr.. Colburn, and to the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, last evening, where he ar
rested Mr. Knapp.
In consequence Of the lateness of the hour at
which the arrests we're made, no official en-
powered to take bail could be found, so that
both accused were locked up for the night IN
the Ninth Precinct Station House.
In Justice TO the proprietors of the st. Louis
Republican it may be said that within day or
tN of the publication OF the letter containing
the ALLEGED libel an article appeared on the edi-
torial page of their paper in which it was stated
that the letter came to their office late at night,
and was not supervised by any of the editors,
but was inserted by the foreman. When their
attention was attracted to the letter they repri'
manded their foreman tor allowing such a letter
t0 be published, and lost no time in making as
full an apology as theAeXigencl0s of the case re-

TORONTO, January 81 briefly telegraphed
you to-day the particulars of the new Fenan
scare. The Government is now hurrying troops
to the frontier from London and Hamilton.
Sixty rounds of ball cartridge have been issued
10 volunteers and regulars at London, Toronto
Hamilton, and other points. From their move

it is evident raid or invasion on the western
border IS near, and that the time has come for

occur. / leave here tomorrow for Port Huron,

THE THREATENED POINTS.
For three or four days past there have been
strange and exciting rumors ahoat as TO FenIan
combinations on the frontier and the intentions
OF the Canadian Government; but no reliance
was placed on them until yesterday, when
despatch passed over the wires stating that the
Sweeneyites were collecting on the western from
tier. Yesterday the military forces all over the
upper province were on the qIj UiUe, and por-
ton OF them are now moving TO the front.
The general impression in the Canadian mind
is that small band of Fenians are preparing
raid upon Sarnia or Windsor, for the purpose of
embroiling the Uuited States and England in
difficulties that may result in war between the
two countries.

The New York Tribune this morning says:-
''The week closes upon an unsatisfactory state
of affairs in mercantile circles. Instead of &
large increase OF trade, buyers are doing next to
nothing, and demanding still lower prices.
Domestic goods are offered at prices equal to
per cent decline; but are still neglected. The
movement of goods into bond IS large, and
importers and iobbers are steadily being loaded
with commodities. From the factories the
adyices that stocks are increasi ing and orders
declining. The West does not pay promptly
from the simple fact of inability. Under declin-
ING prices for farm produce, the small storekeep-
ers' bills not paid the jobbers of the Western
cities are crippled, and their creditors in the
Atlantic cities brought to point where their
paper lacks buyers at lO@l5 per cent per month.
These results are the natural effect OF the end OF
the Rebellion. and OF the termination OF the
expenditures of the Government. the end Is
not yet, and those merchants, jobbers, and con
sumers who are most prudent now will be the
safest as the season advances and lower prices
made, under the inevitable contraction of the
currency"
