NEW YORK, May l6.-The Herald
learns that England designs to seize
Cuba in the event Of any difficulty with
Spain, and will endeavor to retain the
island as q base in the Gulf Of Mexico.
The Herald's Dublin correspondent
alleges that in 1865 the Fenian EIecu-
two in New York RENTED largo sums
of money to Ireland in the shape OF
drafts drawn BY Belmont on the Roth
schilds. The British Government
bargoed the bills and directed the Roth
schilds not to pay them, which was
done. A bill drawn for go 900, to be
used in defense of prisoners, with 9TH
ers, when refused payment in London,
was returned to New York; but the
Feuians in Ireland alleged that their
brethren here have never been able to
recover the gold from Belmont. The
Fenian organization in Ireland is IN
working order and unimpaired in force.
A public meeting Of Germans, held in
the Seventh Ward last night, determined
to form an organization for the purpose
of agi.atiug against the provisions OF
the Excise Law.

Nrw YORK, May l6.-The Hsratds
special says Of the Mobile riot: The
leader, David Fieler, who fired the first
shot at the Chief Of Police, has been ar
rested. 1t is said he aimed directly at
Judge Kelly, who held him to bail this
morning in the sum Of $1,000. 1t is
certain that the attack on the negroes
was continued for II considerable dis
lance from the scene of action, as many
were shot FIVE or six squares otf. Shots
were fred from the roof Of a store kept
by Mr.. Wolf, directly opposite the stand,
and from the windows of q house kept
by a man named Brooks, at the corner
Of LOYAL street. 1t is believed here that
shots were also fred from a side window
| of John Forsythe's house-the editor OF
the Reqister-which overlooks the stand.
| cannot vouch for the truth OF this, as
I sat in front of the window and the ball
must have struck beyond me. The ex-
citement to-day is so great that the in
vestigation has been postponed. The
Mayor, Colonel Sheppard, will make a
| rigid inquiry into the matter. United
States troops are still posted throughout
the city. A squad is occupying the
| front Of the Baltic House.
The Herdld's New Orleans special says
that all the banks of New Orleans have
sustained heavy drafts in consequence OF
the financial troubles prevailing there.
The Herdid's Leayenworth special says
the Republican State Central Committee
me, at Topeka yesterday for the purpose
of arranging the canvass Of the State
| on q platform of impartial suffrage, when
several negroes, who participated, eI-
pressed themselves bitterly opposed to
female suffrage. Considerable discus
sion ensued between the friends Of the
two questions.
The Times special says that a delegs-
! ton of L%ouisianians called upon the
President yesterday and were informed
BY him that Attorney General Stanber-
rvs opinion on the registration would
soon be issued. They applied for an
order to restrain Sheridan from closing
the registration Of voters in accordance
with his recent orders, and were in
formed that orders would be issued
which will enable all who desire to reg
lister and are not disqualified by the
Military bill to do so.
