Movements in Various Places. Boston, March 4.—A large gathering of Fenians was held at headquariers on Saturday evening, at which $3,000 in bonds of the Irish Republic were taken. The meeting had in view the aspect of affairs in Ireland, and reconsid- ered the motion whereby it voted at « late meeting, that the brotheriood parade in a body on St. Patrick’s Day, the money which weuld be expended on that occasion being required for other purposes. A report was received from Head Centre Stevens, stating that there were arms and men in abundance for Ireland. A circle in Lawrence, Mass., remitted five thousand dollars to President O"Mahoney on Saturday. BURLINGTON, VT., March 4—The Fenian Brotherhood held a grand and exciting meet- ing on Saturday evening. Speeches were made by the head centres of the district of Ver- mont, and others. Forty-seven members were added to the roll, and a sisterhood of twenty- three members was formed. Preparations are being made for a grand celebration here on St. Patrick's Day. District Centre Lonorgorn has called a convention of centres to meet Monday evening. to act upon the news received from Head Centre O'Mahoney. Troy, March 4.—The largest and most en- thusiastic Fenian meeting ever held here took place this afternoon, the largest hall being crowded to suffocation, the object being to se- cure subscriptions tothe Irish loan. Addresses were delivered by Hon. Thomas B. Carroll, of Troy, and Robert Crane, Esq., of New York, the Irish patriot of 184. ‘Their sentiments were “Money is wanting.” Both speakers were san- cuine of aid from Napoleon and Russia. Large subscriptions were made tothe loan. There is ercatexcitement among the Irish of the city, and meetings are held nightly. PHILSDELPHIA, March 4.—The Fenian de- monstration tobe held on Tuesday night in front ef Independence Hall, promises to be very imposing. Col. O'Mahoney will be pres- ent, and a number of distinguished Fenian or- ators will address the meeting. Nrw York, March 4.—Notwithstanding the circular whieh the Archbishop of New York sent to the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church on Saturday, and cansed to be read in “il the churches yesterday, admonishing Cath- olics in regard tothe Jones’ Wood meeting of the Fenians, there was an immense gathering mt the time and place named by the Head Centre. Several city railroad cars were broken down by the crowds. One hundred thousand people were on the ground at three o’clock, and consequently it was one of the largest meetings ever held on the continent. Upward of two hundred cireles were represented. Four stands were erected for the speakers. Judge Connolly presided at the principal stand. Speeches were made by George Francis Train, Col. O’Mahony, Judge Connolly, and many others. They were nearly all of the same bur- den. The enthusiasm was unbounded. No serious disturbances occurred, The excitement and interest manifested for some days past has been in no wise abated. Funds were pouring in from every quarter, and candidates for commissions and service in the Fenian army were numerous. The salesof bonds was brisk on Saturday and freely taken at par notonly by Irishmen but by American sympathizers. The sales could not have been far ehort of $50,000. New circles are rapidly springing into existence. The Archbishop of New York opposed the demonstration im Jones’ Wood, as will appear from the following cir- cular, which he has sent the reverend pastors of the city churches: Archbishop of New York, New York, March3, 1£06.—Reverend Dear Sir: I learn with much pain and regret that itis proposed by some ot the leaders of the Fenian movement to hold a mass meeting to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon in Jones’ Wcod. As most of those, unfortu- nately, who are connected with this movement profess themselves Catholics, I feel it my duty to beg of you to admonish and exhort your people to take no part in what must be regard- ed as an open profanation of the Lord’s day, an act of public scandal to religion and an out- rage to the feelings of all good Catholics, es- peciaily in this holy season of Lent. Such an act can hardly fail to provoke the anger of God no less than the sorrow and indignation of all sincere Caristians. Very sincerely yours, in faith, Joun, Archbishop of New York. Sweeny and Roberts have issued martial addresses to the Brotherhood of America, in which they say: 2 “Now is our time to strike, while the British armies are employed at home, and Providence, through the inclement winter season, offers us an opportunity to gain a on British soil, where, without interruption, we may find a base of operations and perfect our mili organizations. It is madness or imbecility to talk of reinforceing our brothers at home with men or arms at present. Such an attempt, even if the obstacle of the United States nen- trality could be avoided. would, in the judg- ment of high military and naval authority, re- sult only in capture or massacre. The tens of thousands of true Irish arms on this con- tinent demand active co. ration. ‘Fenians, respond i a manner worthy of your race and name to the call of your Presi- cent. Give us men and means at once,and our present success is certain; our futore full of promise. The flag of Erin shall float in triumph over a soil which will sustain us wible we reach across the seas with an arm of lepton and break at last the fetters of our native land. “Rally, brothers, at once. Call your circles together, and enroll your names in millit “wry organization, to be ready at a moment's notice, in accordance with previous instructions. “There is not an bour to jost. Send into these quarters the sinews of war, the want of which detains us in New York when we should be on the field of battle. “Come, then, with your means, and contribute liberally, and you shall receive, for all sums of ten dollars and over, [rish national bonds, and @ gnarantee that the money will be scrupulously expended for arms and munitions of war.
