TELEGRAMS, &c, The New York Herald of yesterday has the folowing from Toronto: “Consul Thurston to-day received instructions that the Govern- men of the United States will not permit any more cattle to enter the States from Canada. The prohibition creates an intense feeling, not only among Candaians cut out from the Ameri- can markets, but among United States traders. By Americans now purchasing in that market it is estimated tnat forty thousand dojlars’ worth of live stock, already purchased in this neighborhood, will be thus cut off from the market for which they were intended.’ A despatch from Leavenworth, Kansas, says that acafe containing $50,000 was stolen Mon- day night from the office of Major Ellis, a pay- mrsterinthe army. Two orderlies, who are miesing, are supposed to be the guilty parties. Tweuty-three thousand dollars of the stolen money belonged to the Government.

Simmone, with bis throat cut, lying on the floor, and his wife Mary, with her throat also cut, lying on the sofa. be man hada ravor grasped in his hand, and appeared to be insen- sible, buton being aroused by the officer he at- tempted to again cut himself, but he was pre- vented. Assistance was at once sent for, and the man was taken to the station house, and medical aid summoned for both the injured parties, but as little could be done by the eur- econs, Dr. Mighill ordered their rersoyal to the City Hospital, and they were taken there, but no hopes are given of the recovery of Mrs Simmons, while there 1s some chance of her hueband’s recovery. It appears that the parties have not lived happily together for some time, the husband baving threatened to shoot his wife several times, and haying abused her so much that she was afraid to live with him, and Iast Thureday she left her boarding piace at Mr Thayer's, on Manover street, and on Satarday engaged board at the Blackstone House for herself and little girl—a fine child, three years old—and she had remained in the hotel until day afternoon, when her husband hay- ing learned where she was, called at her room, and finding the door fastened, knocked for ad- mission. Finding who was there ehe declined to allow him to come in, telling him she was afraid he would shoot her, but on his saying that he had no pistol, and promising not to harm her, she opened the door. This was over an hour before the parties were found with their throats cut, and from the fact that, when found, Mrs. Simmons was dressed in her furs, it is supposed that she had consented to go out with her husband, although nothing definite as to what their conversation was is known, About @ week since, Mrs. Simmons, whose relatives reside in Wellfleet, trom the threats of her husband, left their lodgings with her little girl, and stopped in the First Station House all night, and, by advice, she took her child to the Home for Little Wanderers, where she left it until she got settled, and after the discovery of the tragedy yesterday, the police took the child back there. Simmons is a man about 28 years of age, has been married five years, and was employed at Atwood’s oyster saloon, in Proyince street. . reer! The Fenians. The Fenian Congress assembled in New York yesterday. A guard from the wth, O'Mahony’s regiment of mili ia, refused ad. mission to all not provided with credentials State Centre Rodgers, of Manhattan district, called the body to order. Major Keely, ofl n- diana, was appointed chairman of the Congress Resolutions sustaining Coionel O’Mabony were adopted, and the Congress proceeded to the transaction of other business, the nature of which bas not transpired. Two plenipo- tentiaries from Lreland were present, and it is stated that they brought letters from Stephens, who is said to bein France. Previous to the opening of the Congress, Messrs. Meany, Mul- len, and Sinnott, of the Fenian Senate, met at the Senate headquarters, in pursuance of the regular adjournment of November 7, but no quorum being present, they adjourned. Re- port says that two English detectives were spotted, aud were refused admission to the Congress. At a meeting yesterday, in Chicago, of Fe- nians, composed of officers who served in the Union army, resolutions were adopted sup- porting General Sweeny, and urging him to eall a military convention at some central loca- tion. Resolutions were alse adopted that both contending parties who now divide the Brother- hood give way in favor of Sweeny and the military directors. Forty officers signed the resolutions, Which were seut t General Sweeny. General Sweeny has issued an appeal to the Fenians not to waste their energies in intestine strife, and says: “Letdeeds, not words, be your Motto, and strike, before it is too late, the golden opportunity. Our situation is that of two armies whose chiefs cannot agree upon the line of a position. The vast extent of British dominions offers many vital points, and as we cannot reconcile our views, let each army fol- low its chosen General. and attack where his judgment tells him are the best chances of sne- cess, Let this disgraceful squabble cease at once.” eno DisTRIRUTION.—The Lynchburg rginian, exys the Petersburg Index, is after “Extra” Billy Smith and his contreres witha tharp stick about that little matter of distri- bution, whereby our late Governor lined his pockets when decamping from Richmond. We little thought when “Extra” Billy was here, threatening to burn our warehouces and tobac- co barns—all for patriotism—that he had such a sub-treasury in his pockets. It is apparent, too. that he had a good gnotive for leaving so suddenly when an alarm was given that the Yankees were near by. He didn’t want to part with hie spoils. In former times,when we Whigs were clamor- ing for the distribution of certain proceeds of the sale of public lands that fell to the share of Virginia, and which the Government was anx- ious to pay, “Extra” Billy was against distri- butions; but it was otherwise when the beg- garly remnant of Virginia's last cash was to be distributed among her faithful public ser- vants. CITIZENSHIP OF THE NEGRO IN INDIANA.— The Latayette Courier say: “A case of con- siderable interest, as involving the citizenship of the negro, came up for hearing before Judge Vinton, im the Common Pleas Uourt. Itis the case of the State ys. Moses Hanger, to which we before had occasion to reier in the columns of the Courier. The defendant is a farmer, residing in the vicinity of Stockwell, and, at the instigation ef ceriain venomous copper- beads in that locality, was recently arrested, tried and convicted for harboring and employ- ing a negro who had come into the State since the adoption of the thirteenth article. The case was appealed to the Common Pleas Court, and, whatever the decision of Judge Vinton, will be taken to the Supreme Court for final adjudication.” 87Gen. John E. Mullford, formerly of the 3d New York artillery, for a long time stationed at Fort McHenry, and afterwards the humane Commissioner of Exchange of Prisoners, is now in Washington endeavoring to wind up the business of his office, which, for some time, has been located in Richmond.

They will be held for trial at the next term of court to be held at Marshall, February 1, 1-66, for murder. OUTLAWRY IN RickMoyp.—The Richmond Examiner of Monday saye that the “last 4 hours has furnished a record of crime, such a= we wont to think could be furnished only by New York, or Chicago, or St. Louis, or other crime-blown cities North or South. We care not to comment upon the bloody, atro- cious record, but unless the citizens rid them- selves by some stern effort, some general re- solve of the rowdy, rampant element of out- awry and murder that stalks forth at mid- night, and unbluehingly at mid-day, then fare- well to future peace and commercial prosperi- ty. In the several bloody instances which we blushingly record below, the city police did their duty nobly aud fearlessly. At least one of them lies in the agonies of death, if he is not already dead. A second meritorious officer escaped miraculously, and three or more of the outlaws are in, we hope, the relentless grasp of the outraged law.” The details are given of the “attempted mur- Ger of a woman,” “probable murder of a po- liceman in attempting the arrest of the would- be assassin,” “robbery and attempted murder on Broad street,” and “garroters on the rampage.” = Gry cg ie a La foieg The gunboat yinooski began T final test, preparatory to her sea race with the Algonquin,on Tuesday lastatnoon.
