Thousands of Fenians will cross the border as f00n as the weather will permit, and be joined by sympathizers in Uanada. Government de- tectives are on the alert on thie side of the line. and keep the Canadian authorities informed of the movements of the enemy. The panic shows no abatement. A serious run on the banks for gold has commenced thronghont the provinces, The Government is helping the nks with specie. A special Montreal dispatch says the excite- ment is still at fever heat. Business is at a& stand-still, and small depositors are converting their balances into gold. The militia are being drilled many times a day. All the public buildings are strongly guarded. The banks are restricting discounts to well-known cus- tomers, and refusing to advance upon any col- Jateral security. The excitement along the frontier is making Canada very warm for Americans. Suspicious characters are crossing the border daily. A thonsand volunteers are on the lookout, 2nd more treon the way. The Detroit Councils have accepted the invitntion to the New York celebration on St. Patrick’s day. There isa great stir among the Detroit Fenians, and mysterious rockets are sentup onthe Ameri- can shore. It is believed tha: some movement is @ progress. i A luter dispatch says: The Fenian excite- ment is subsiding. The volunteer force ix well Gistributed at ail points on the frontier. Seve- ral searches have been made for pikes, but all have been unsuccessful. The following is given for what it is worth, as the general idea of the warlike strength of the Fenian order in New York. Thirty-two companies are said to have been formed and their ranks fully filled. These are divided into three regiments, and rumor gives the post of honor in command as follows: First regi- ment infantry, Colonel Basit Duke, formerly commanding a brigade of cayairy under the rebel General Morgan. Second regiment im- fantry, Colonel Thibodaux, of the Lonisiana volunteers in the rebel army. Third regiment intantry, Volonel Murphy, formerly colonel in the 107th New York volunteer’.

Henry Low. who last week sLot and killed a citizen, but was acquittea by the coroner's jury of accidental shooting, hus been rearrested by order of the military. The Norwegian bark Aqua has arrived here from St. Thomas in ballast. The failure ofthe Whipple File Manutac- turing Company was announced in Boston yesterday. Its liabilities are heavy. The capi- tal stock of the company was seven hundred thousand dollars, and it reeently petitioned for u further increase. Its suspensien is attri- buted to its haying on hand a large stock of goods which could not be sold exceptata great loss. The means of the company have been somewhat crippled recently in ‘its efforts to sustain its credit. A paymaster of the Schuylkill Navigation Company was robbed Monday night of 36,000, in money, and checks for $2,000), at a public house at which he was stopping over night, in Schuylkill Haven.{Pennsylvania. The checks and empty pocket-book were subsequently picked up, bat no clue 3 been obtained to tbe money or how the robbers accomplished the theft. A dispatch from Boston on Tuesday says. The six citizens of Melrose who were fined $300 each by Judge Vose, for tarring and feathering and riding on arail a person who rejoiced over the death of President Lincoln, were pardoned by the executive council, and had their fines remitied. The New Jersey State Senate passed by an unanimons vote resolntions requesting Con- gress to increase the salaries of naval officers to a point adequate to the inerease of expen: of the times, as suggested by their memori: now before Congress, The South Barracks, being the main building of the Norwich University, was destroyed by tire Tuesday evening. Tle fire broke out in an unoccnpied room in the fourth story, and there are yarious rumors afloat as to its origin. The Canadian Press on the Fenian Flurry, We have the Toronto and Montreal papers of yesterday. Contradictions abound of the “sensation stories” telegraphed by the Asso- ciated Press. The Toronto Leader, for exam- ple, says: «There is no truth in the statement made by the Toronto correspondent of the New York Herald, that our Government has taken pos- session of the telegraph wires.” It would seem to be true that the State Goy- ernment is really beginning to think some- thing 1s the matter, as orders have been trans- mitted to Watertown to the militia authorities there to have their companies filled up, so as to be ready for immediate service on the frontier, should they be required. There were some singular rumors afloat in Ottowa yesterday. One of them was that an attempt bad been made to assassinate the Gov- ernor-General. An extra announcement of the fact was issued from one of the newspaper offices, and caused a great sensation; but a tel- egram was shortly afterwards received trom Montreal correcting the report, and stating that nothing had been heard of it in that city. The Toronto Globe, alluding to the assuran- ces given by Mr, Seward tothe British Min- ister at Washington, that no violation of our neutrality laws Will be permitted, says: “This ie allright enough, and exactly what was to be expected from the American (jovern- ment. But it in no manner lessens our obliga- tion in Canada to prepare for the Fenian rut- flans a hot reception should they venture to cross our lines. It was not to be doubted that the American Government would interfere in the event of an invagion, in foree, of our eoun- try being openly got up in United States. What we have alone to fear isa villainous raid tor purposes of plunder on some of our frontier towns, and this we must be prepared to deal with, if it comes, instantly and effectually.” in another article, alluding to the calling ont of the volunteer forces, the Globe says :-—We belieye the step has been taken soleiy on pre- cautionary grounds, nothing having transpired to render further action necessary, beyond the continued threats of the Fenian miscreants at their money-raising meetings. As 2 precan- tionary measure, howeyer, the step is a most wise one. Whether the Fenians put their necks im the noose that is ready for them or not, it is highly desirable that the practical working ot our provincial system of defense should be un- ders’ by our people, and confidence inspired as to the efficiency and promptitude of its ope- ration in any emergency.” A Montreal telegram to the Toronto Leader (13th) says: There has been a run on the say- ings’ banks since Thursday. Yesterday, at St. Patrick’s Church, the priest explained to depositors in the banks that there was no dan- ger whatever ofany attack on the banks, and if there were their yanlts were so strong and so securely guarded that no attack would be successinl. If depositors drew ont their mo- ney they would very likely spend it or it would probably be stelen from them, and it was safe inthe banks. He himself had money for charitable purposes deposited in them, which he wo not leaye if there was any danger, bat after careful inquiries it was as- certainéd that there was not. He also com- manded the temperance of the people general- ly. Many of them had taken the pl but he cautioned them ail, whether temperance men or not, on no account to takea drop on St. Patrick’s Day, but raiher to do credit to their country on that day by their very sober and orderly demeanor. Since the calling out of the volunteers the hundreds of stran who wereswarming our Streets with nothing to do butto reconnoitre the banks, have greatly diminished, and itis believed that they haye moved off. Itis reported that oie men have been dis- charged by their employers for turning out as volunteers on Saturday, and thenames of those employers sre promised for publication. ‘here-has been such aron on the gunsmiths otthe city for small arms that it is now difh- eult to get s) GF Among Americans perma: Iv resident in Rome, is Miss Charlotte Oustimaa, the tra- gedienne, &7 A revenue officer walked intoa whiskey vat in New York and suffocated in the mab. ., 87 The Boston Transcript says an infant on- ly a few hours old was left very: near Mrs. TUpgton’s corner, Iast Saturday night, st wae sent to the Onaries stree; Home.

Baird & Roper, of Norfolk, have bought a tract of 921 acres of wood land, 18 miles from Norfolk, on the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal, for seven dollars aud twen- ty-five fk acre, cash. The Norfolk Virginian says: “The freight trains of the Ngrfolk and Petersburg Railroad are bringing cotton into this city from Griffin, Ga, and Memphis, Tenn. e understand that one thousand bales, deslined for the steamer Ephesus, will arrive by the same route, in time for her departure to Liverpeo! Mr. Claiborne Drumright, of Mecklenburg, lensed a building for a farmer's hotel in Pe- tersburg, a few days ago, returned to his county to make a collection, and while on his Way back, had occasion to walk a few mules from a friend’s house in Nottaway, to Black and Whites depot, on the Southside railroad. He never reached the depot, and has not been heard ofsince. Search has has been made of the country by one of his sonsin vain. An- other is now having a creek dragged, over which he is supposed to have passed, and into which he may have fallen or might have been thrown. He was an elderly gentieman of esti- mable character and settled habits Our excbanges throughout the State gene- rally represent the wheat croup as unpromising. Cock fighting has recently become quite fashionable among the sporting fraternity of Lynchburg. itis thought that the \ irginia tobacco crop Will be xbout one-third of what it was before the war. A destructive fire occurred in Stafford county, last week, sweeping a belt of land a mile and a half in width. Mr. John Pollock lost wood, rails, young timber, &c., and with difficulty saved his resideuce from being de- stroyed.

The liege lord getting into the secret. overhanied heron the steamer Martin and carried her back home. Dry Goons market is very weak Holders ana porters are pressing sales, and buyers ha lvantage. Under these lers only buy as they sell, avoiding stocks in a falling market. It is expected, also. that the supply of cotton, large as it is, will be vet much larger: and this year’s crop is likely to reach four miilions bales. Prices of cotton and cotton goods will therefore rapidly fal] totheir old standard prices, espeeially as gold is fall- ing, and will by the autumn lose all its pre- minum.
