The following is an extract froma letter dated Eastport, Maine, April 10: “Colonel Kerrigan, with two aids, arrived here last Friday. The excitement then commenced and bas continued to increase. They were absent Saturday in making arrangements at the Fron- tier Bank (o draw funds from ton. On Sunday they seemed anxious to obtain news by telegraph, but received none. Monday they Spent in calling at stores, inquiring the price of five handred blouses, five hundred caps, &c, which caused great excitement among our Provincial neighbors. All the citizens are enroiled as soldiers, and drilled four hours daily, and the people are selling off their stock of cattle and moving over to onr side. This morning one hundred or more Fenians arrived in the boat from Portland. The leaders, upon their arrival were much displeased az the undue excitement which had been gotten up. They cajled secret meetings and are to hvld another to-morrow morning. Our county sheriff tells me they think of gomg into some of the back towns and awaiting further devel- opments.” The Herald's Portland (Maine) dispatch states that all was cuiet Saturday evening. ‘The one hundred cases of guns refused car- riage by the steamship company on Thursday, were shipped on a schooner Saturday evening. Preparations were made for the reception of tour hundred and fifty Fenians, who left Bos- ton Saturday afternoon, The Matamoros Renchero says Jeaning Rose. with an imperial column six een hundred strong, left Caderiota on the Ist instant for 4 (luite an exodus of troublesome char- hao taken place from Neutral (!), with a& View of atincking 2 conducta of Ubree millions, coming 0 the Monterey road.

Hiays, who commanded a briguce under Stonewall Jackson. has been nominxted for sheriff in New Orleans. The Methodist General Conference have adopted a Teport extending the jurisdiction of the Southern Church in every direction asked for. The committee on the Episcopacy have re- ported, advising the College of Bishops to ap- point one of their number to reside in Calitor- nit, and also recommending the election of six additional bishops. The bishop’s veto was again discussed. The crops are rapidly ad- vancing. The recent frost in Baton Rouge perish kidled the cotton. The ship Porter. burned at Apalachicola, has 1.400 bales of cotton on board. half of which was saved ina damaged condition, A contract has been awarded to remoye it at forty per cent. of its valuation. Cargoes of produce and merchan- dise are beg shipped from New Orleaus up the swollen rivers. The Halifaxcity medical officer reports, up to Friday evening, one huncred and seventy deaths on board the steamer England, includ- ing forty who died on the passage from Liver- pool. He reports the disease as probably a severe form of ship fever, with many of the Rrominent symptoms of the cholera. It amounts toa regular plague. The surviving passengers haye been removed, some to her Britanic Mujesty’s receiving-ship Pyramus, and otbers to tents on shore at the quarantine grounas. The disease is apparently decreas- ing. There is a difference among medical men 4s to the disease on bourd the steamship En- giand. The number of deaths and sick were ereatly reduced Saturday. The disease is de- cidedly checked, and is confined to the steer- age pissengers, Considerable tumult was caused at Provi- dence, R.I., Saturday evening, by the conduc; ot a theatrical company from New York, Start & Tayleure, managers, who announced the play of the “Merry Wives of Windsor,” with Hackett as Falstaff, at the Academy of Music. A large audience attended. but the play was ©o mutilited by the actors in an effort to get tnrough at 9.30 to take the train for New York, that the audience would not allow the performance to proceed, and kroke up man uproar, The actors were foilowed to the depot by several hundred people, groaning and hooting, but no personal violence was offered. The man arrested at Cornwall, Canada, turned outto be a person named Wheeler, an ex-Confederate officer, and now a colonel in the Fenian army. Upon being searched, his commission was found upon him, and an- thority given by General Sweeny to recruita Fenian battallion in Canada. Several other interesting documents were also found upon him. He openly boasts of being a Fenian, but says he has done nothing to justify his arrest. He is satisfied with the quarters assigned him, and says that General Sweeny will be over shortly, and show canse for his release. The Tennessee House of Representatives has expelled James R. Hood, one of the absconding members, charged with. willful! absenung himself to prevent a quorum. When he was brought before the bar of the House, he persistently refused to answerto his name. (My. Hood’ will be remembered as a former jocal reporter in Washington.) The resignations of the anti-confederate ad- ministration ot New Brunswick were accepted unconditionally by Governor Gordon on the i2th instant. No new administration has yet been formed. The House of Assembly has ad- journed until to-day, to give the incoming party time to organize. The brig Mary Jane, from Porto Rico, for Baltimore, with sugar and molasses, went ashore on Wednesday night, on the coast of North Carolina. Wreckers have gone to her assistance. The steamer Vera Cruz, from New York for Vera Cruz, wentasbore at 3.30 o'clock p.m... on April 12th, during a thick fog, on Body’s isiand, North Carolina coast. Passengers, mail and baggage landed safely. The greater part of the cargo will be saved. Finst Arrest UNDER THE CiviL RIGHTS BiLL.—Tobias Airy was arrested on Saturday by Policeman Rhodes, of the Western District, ona warrantissued by Justice Blake, on the affidavit of Martha A. Cole, colored, charging an assault and battery by him on herself and son. The aseanlt is said to have occurred in the northwestern per of the city, on or near Biddle street, aud her face exhibited evidence of violence being nsed. Airy alleged that he was called on by Policeman Rhodes to assist him in arresting the son, and that it was avother person, a German, who strack her. He was relensed by the justice on producing security for his appearance for trial at court next Sat- urday. There have been several ocenrrences within the past three or four days which, it is expected, will bring befure the courts of this city the question as to what are the rights of colored persons, The first was that of a col- ored man, on Friday, taking a seat amon other passengers in one of the York road rail- way cars. The conductor invited him to go to the front platform, where colored persons had always the privilege of riding. He insisted on his right to remain in the car, but the con- Guctor, as also the other passengers, required him to leave. He noted down the number of the car and then departed. On the same night James Williams, colored, appeared at the ticket office of the Holliday Street Theater and asked for a ticket. The agent, on learning from him that it was for himself, refused to sell a ticket. He went out on the sidewalk and acted in such adiyorderly manner as to compel Policeman Ray tu conduct him to the Middle District Stat » Whence Justice Spicer, after an exataination, tve next morning committed him to jan. On ‘Sauarday night a colored bame mot learned, a man, at the Eastern District Station, cmiming protection.

From infancy to within a few years they were al- ways together, rarely separated fora day or night, and their habits, manuers, thoughts, feelings, and tastes were as much alike as it is possible for two persons tobe.

Dering the first year of his confinement he was sanguine of a ccmmutation of his sentence to imprison - ment, and poscibly a pardon; but since that time he bas been in an extremely uncertain and uncomfortable state of mind. During the first year of his career in jail he was frequent- ly visited by hus wife, but tor several months past, for reasons satisfac to herself aud her fnends, she bas not visited him. Upon all oc- casions when visited by his wite, Green mani- fested the utmost respect for her, and their in- terviews were quite affecting to the officers of the prison who witnessed them. A great deal of time was occupied by the prisoner in writin, levers to his relatives and acquaintances, can it is stated that during his imprisonment his correspondence Was more extensive than that o; all the other prisoners combined. Green has made repeated atiempts to obtain be mexns of destroying his own Ife, and it is due tothe vigilance oft he supermtending offi- vets of the jail that he did not succeed. The plan he adopted and sought tw carry out was to secretly write and send letters from the jail to 8 tricud in Malden, to whom he expressed bis Gesire to Gestroy himself, and ad uscistance to that end im the form of a deadiy drrg. He described the mauner im which the poisen should be sent to bun, and at different umes, when he expected it and was disap- pointed, he appeared unusually dejected for severa) succeeding days. The parties to. whom Green intrusted the letters gave tem to the jatlor in nearly every instance. No one sym- patbized with the murcerer in bis intentions, and be died more than prebably without the knowledge that these attempis had been ex- posed Notwithstanding the issuing of the warrant by Gov.

The scaffold was the same one upon ich Webs MeGee and Hersey were exec , and at waserected in one cor- ner of the jail yard, completely obscured from the view of all who were not admitted within the melosure. While the warrant read, the deputies upon the scaffold the rope upon the neck of the anfortun: man, and when the reading was finished, the Sheriff said that in obedience to the instructions con- tained in the document, he should proceed to execute the sentence of death. He then put his toot upon the fatal spring, the trap tel! wit! beavy crash, and the body of Edward Green was suspended in the air. He fell about five feet, and the repe stretched to such an ex- tent that his feet tom Was the neeeseary and pamiui duty of the deputies to draw the body up from the ground, and hold it thus suependea until life was ex. While saspended m this manner the ecuted man Crew bis legs up several times and moved bis arms and fingers at intervals for fifteen or tweniy minutes. His neck was not broken by the fall, and it appeared as if he was literally choked to death.
