Much CT the reports that come from tbe
Canadlan border is doubtless sensational FROM,
the inability of the press reporters n rot -
the secrets OF the organization. This nav no
regarded as remarkable feature in an oe.,i.
of so much magnitude, composed Of sno,, >.
class of men, and is pretty good indica,ion
that the step now taken has been ION. tim q
in contemplation, and that the rank and fiji,
are under state of subsection to their really
irresponsible leaders. But there are number
less incidents at the disposal of outsiders
which convey an idea of the extent and prob
able numerical strength on this new raid on
Canada. About six hundred men in all have
arrived at st. Adams, who were promptly
formed in squads and marched quietly out of
town. Reliable reports from Franklin, three
miles from the line say they are concen-
trating there. A dispatch from ST.. Adams
says:

The United States government is represent

Marsh9, and District Attorney Fiheld. Gen.
Fosters repeated and earnest representations
failed to elicit reply until this noon, when
he was informed by despatch from the State
Department that Major-General Mcdowell,
commanding at New York, would be sent to
st. Adams to cooperate and advise with him.
1t is not supposed that anything can be done
to stop the Fenians, as there are no Federal
troops that can reach here for three or four
days. Before that time the bold Irishmen will
be half way to Montreal.
The best authority in the village tells me
there is no force in the Dominion TO prevent
determined body of Fenians from marching
right up to the gates of Montreal. A COM
plete panic prevails on the other side of the
line, and unless in case the Fenians cross the
home guard will scatter more rapidly that il
did in 1866.
Advioes from different towns on the line;
Of the roads leading north from Boston and
New York are uniformly of the same charac
ter-of the arrival and departure of men
without arms, with no distinguishing marks
except a green cap or jacket, and commanded
by officers who are extremely reticent, ant
interviews with them elicit nothing. A
Buffalo the excitement is intense and men arr
being recruited rapidly, both from the cit!
and from the crowds coming by the WesterI
railroads organized and sent forward.
The gunboat Michigan is known to b.
cruising in Lake Erie near here, and For
| Porter is garrisoned by ioice of regulars un
der command of Gen. Hardin. As the Fenial
leaders profess desire to avoid a collision
| with Uncle Sans authorities, this may posi-
| bly, deter them from attempting to reach Can
ada from this point.

| different movements are to be made at TIM

interfered with by the action of our Govern
ment. The company of the 9Th Artillery a

London has had genuine sensation, and
over a much needed and practicable improve
ment-the opening of two miles and half
length of street tramway, between Whitechap-
ell and Bow churches. The long straight road
through which the cars pass was in state of
tremendous excitement during the whole day,
and the crowds were SO great that it was with
difficulty the cars could pass. At the termni
of the line the concoIrse of curious people
blocked up the thorouehfares during the mid
day hours. The cars are described as being
about double the length of ordinary omnibus
es, and are built to seat twenty-five within
and twenty-four without. According to the
charter OF the company, wOrkmen are to be
conveyed at the fare OF one penny on partcu-
lar journeys, morning and evening, and it was
OF this class of passengers that the first load
was composed. The cars give ample sitting
and walking room for everybody inside, and
as much comfort on the roof as soft cushions
and an abundant supply of knee-wrappers can
furnish. The horses, like the characters of
ancient days, wear minimum of harness
nothing, in fact, behind the co,lars-and the
drivers are clad in the smartest of liveries.
The last English papers contain the an
nouncement of an Ecumenical Council which
is proposed to be summoned by the Orthodox
Greek Church, and almost at the same in
slant we learn by cable that the Evangecals
of the English Church are exerting them
selves to secure an adequate representation at
the American Council to be held in New York
in September. The Earl of SALISBURY and
the Bishop of Ripon are representative men
OF the Low Church party in the English Es-

should add their Council to the annals of
1870, the year will descend to history with a
tinction almost unparalleled in the history of
Christendom.
