The examination of the Fenians arrested at Cornwall. Canada, was begun yesterday. Hon. John D. McDonald has been engaged for the defense. The Toronto Globe of yesterday morning has the following :—“There is no longer any doubt that O’Mahony is concentragng a force near the New Brunswick trontie:; and this is clear- ly in violation of the nentrality laws of the United States, and the Washington authorities must speedily take action upon the subject. We are not anxious thatthe American Gov- ernment should act hurriedly; for in a free government time must be allowed for talk, and itis not well tor any government to oppose a movement which commands a measure of pop- nlar sympathy without clear proof that the law is being broken; but the marching of armed men toward the frontier is an act of war which the American Government must suppress if they intend to do their duty toward their neighbors.’ ‘Two large English war vessels are at East- port, Me., with steam constantly kept up, port-holes open, and everything ready for ac- tion. The Americans are wild, and consider ita challenge. American yeterans are joining the circles of the Fenians. The Fenians are still in conyention. The two English vessels are on the wrong track. Deserters from the British troops are joinmg the circles, and ac- tive recruiting of volunteers is going on. The Fenians haye hired the town hall fer three days, in which to hold meetings.

The report siates that tne Treas- urer’s account for money expended from 1, 1865, to April 1, int hibite a de the receipts over the incidental exper in the opinion of the committece would not have been the case but for the conduct of the pastor in permitting the church to be occupied by a colored man to deliver a political lecture to an indiscriminate audience of white and colored persons, in opposition to the remon- strances of a majoriiy of the elaers; both dea- cons, trustees. the tempors! committer, (with one exception) and many of the oldest and valued members of the congregation. As it is difficult to realize such astate of things, it is thought advisable to give in this report a de- tailed account of this unfortunate traus: in the first place the pastor had no # jority to permit the church to be occupied for any fuch purpose, the secular concerns of the churen having always been under the direc- tion of the temporal cummiitee, and never eatied in question until lately, as will more fully appear & correspondence held more than three years since, between the much ree epected clerk of the session and the chairman of the temporal committee.

Sunderla When we were called upon ast Wednesday evening to give our vote on the question of granting the use of the chureb for next Tuesday evening to the ladies representing tue National Associntion for the Relief of Colored Orphans, we had bad no opportunity for ascertaining the Views and feelings of the members of the church and congregation on the subject. Yes- lerday we were made aware of the fact, that while there is, with scarcely an exeepuon, a sympethy with the object and « willingness to contribute to its support, yet there is a very strong and general objection on the part of those who have been and are among the true friends and most liberal supporters of the church, including a majority of the temporal cominittee and trustees, to the occupation ef the church by the lecturer proposed, for the meeting referred to. And it is evident that such occupation would prove seriously in ju- rious to the harmony and interests of the church. Under these ‘circumstances we con- ceive it to be our duty to revoke our decision: nor can we suppose that the ladies, whose efforts in a work of benevolence we would gladly aid, will fail to appreciate our position, or wish to have anything done thai woula produce so much dissatisfaction in the church. “Furthermore, we have on out own part to Say, that when we granted the use of the church it was with the distinct understanding that there should be nothiug in the subject matter of the Jecture inconsistent with the place and occasion, or liable to reasonable objection. We now find that the lecture proposed to be given has the same title and is fairly inferred to have substantially the same subject matter as one which this pe rson has delivered in otber places, and which, we learn from the best authority, is such as we cannot cousent to have deli. ered in our church.” Signed by O.C. Wight, H. J. Frost, W. H. Campbell. Thie touching appeal and revocation of the previous action of the Session wae noticed from the pulpit by the pastor, in the following words: «In regard to the notice which appeared in the papers *hrepetng” fora meeting to be held in our chureh on Tuesday evening of this week, 1 would say to the congregation that 1 have received this morning a communication from @ majority of the ruling elders of the Ses. sion which renders farther consideration nec- eseary betore 4 final announcement can be made in regard to the matter. 1 therefore 1e- quest that there may bea meeting in the lec- ture room to-morrow evening at 6 o'clock of the members of the Session, the deacons, the temporal committee aud all the officers and members of the church and congreg..tion of an: kind to hearand consider a statement which wish then and there to make od Asthis notice contnined a uest from the pastor that the officers of the meet the following evening to hear and con- sider astatement which he wished then and there to make them, four of the elders, both the all the ral commitiee, the p ogg and treasurer attended in the — lent expectation, afier the above notice been given by the tor, that ualess further ac- ion was bad the church could not be +0 occupied.
