The condition of the patients is horrible. There are tive vessels in quarantine, within a circle of two miles, having cholera, yellow fever, and smail.pox on board. A clergyman and two nurses sent to the hospital ship have been attacked by cholera. Ata meeting of the Fenians in Richmond, Va., resolutions were adopted expressing great pleasure at the anticipated visit of Stephens, and pledging the Brotherhood in Richmond w sustain him tn his efforts to re- store harmony. A committee was also ordered to make arrangements to prepare for the re- ception of Stephens. The heavy rains in Louisiana have made new crevasses. A ship was driven ashore outside by the storm.

SENATE —Yesterday afternoon— Without acuon on the Reconstraction reso- lutions, the Senate, after a short Executive session, adjourned. Hovsr.—After our report closed— The bill to reduce and establish the pay of officers, and to fix the pay of soldiersin the army of the United States, was passed—yeas $5, mays 40. [The bill takes effect from aud after September 3uth next. and fixes yearly compensations in lieu of present pay, emola- ments and allowances, as follows: Of a geac- ral, 15,000.

THE FENIAN MOVEMENT. A St, Albans special to the Boston Herald says: The leading Fenian officers declare pos- itively that the border will be crossed in 5+ bours. Their plans are nearly perfected for an onward movement, which will probably be directed against the Canadian volunteers, whom the Fenians regard with contempt. There are no new important developments. The advaace of the right wing halted this morning at a spot eight miles from the frontier line, and are encamped on level ground on edge of a timber tract. ‘THE FENIAN PRISONERS. Burrao, June 5.—By order of the Govern- mentat Washington, the Fenian prisoners have been released to-night. the privates on their own recognizance, and the officers in $500 bail; all to ap at Canandaigua when required. They ail subscribe that they will not take up arms in American waters. ‘ Atan early hour to-day warrants wefe is- sued by the United States commissioners in this city, commanding the Umited States mar- shal to apprehend the Fenian officers who are now aboard the steamer Michigan, and bring them before the commissioners for examination, when it will be decided whether they shall be held for triai before Judge Hall. The writ ot habeas corpus was served last evening, return- able at 9 o'clock this morning, but a bearing was postponed until 9 o’clock to-morrow, so as to give Commander lags bogs of the Michi- ip, time to consult with the Washington au- borities. THE FORWARDING OF ARMS. New York, June 5.—A special despatch to the Herald, dated St. Albans, Vermont, says: Colonels Tresellian and Courtney, serving on General Sweeny’s staff, have arrived here. ‘The General is at Malone. The local cavalry were out this morning. A large quantity of arms for the use of the Canadian Government is allowed to pass without molestation. All other arms are seized. FinanciaL.—In the New York stock market everything revolves around Erie. The firm- ness of the stock bas infused confidence in the market generally, 2nd prices are on an aver- age abont 1 per cent better. The Commercial Advertiser of yesterday atternoon says:—Five- twenties are in demand at about yesterday’s prices. There is no expectation of any far- ther immediate return of bonds from Europe. Five-twenties of 1862 closed at 102}: 1864,102%; 1865, 102¥. At the same time, there was an active aemand from the shorts in gold, who were stimulated by the advance to cover their contracts.

The former declined to take the pre- scribed oath and wasexcused. Wigond took the oath and occupied aseat with the other jurors. Another long delay was caused by rT. Lipscomy’s refusal to qualify.

The complaints ot threatened violence and intimidation which have been forwarced to me by several of your number for your late heroic and patriotic ac- ons have been submitted to the highest legal and military authorities of the Goverament, and I can assure you of the earnest sympathy and firm sapport of all the officers of the law, uot excepting the President, whom treasonabie men flatter ana fawn, but whom they wiil, probably, soon heartily curse, as they did two years ago. But, gentlemen, I am glad to call your attention to a law of Congress which pats your own vindication. as well as that of the country, into your own hands. In 1331 Congress enacted, as you will find on page ds of the fourth yolume of the Statutes at Large, as follows “Section 2. And be it further enacted, That it any person sball corruptly. or by threats or force, endeavor to influence, inumidate, or im- pede any juror, witness, or officer in any court of the United States im the discharge of his duty, or shall corruptly, or by threats or force, obstruct or impede, or endeavor to obstruct or impede, the due administration of justice there- in, every person or persons se oflending shall be liable to prosecution therefor by indictinent, and shali, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, or by imprisonment not exceeding three months, or both, according to the nature and aggravation of the offence.” Approved, March 2, 3531. You will thus have it in yourown power to exercisea wholesome restraint upon licentions tongues and pens, aud upon a press, which, asa blind leader of the biind, bas been, and still is, one of the chief causes of past, present and prospective misfortune. The marders, duels, assassinations, violent and ungoverned passions, ending in self-conflagration and selr- tmmolation unparalicled in any heathen country; the poverty, suffering, agony, and degradation which bave given this city. of almost unequaled natural capabilities, its bad eminence, are legitimate fruit of the teachings of its public press, and everything you can do to contribute toward its reformation will in the highest degree be serviceable tothe cause ot the country, and be sufficient to the cause of the country and humanity. Bat, gentlemen, jet us act with moderation and discrimination: for thongh a prostunted press is one of the greatest calamities, 2 free and virtaonus press is one of the greatest public blessings, the greatest ornament and support of public vir- tue, After delivering the charge. Judge Under- wood remarked that in the absence of rhe foreman, Mr. Harrison would act im that ca- pacity. The grand jury then retired to their room. There being no formal business before the court, Judge Underwood said: “We shall be happy to hear from members of the bar, al- ways giving preference to members from a distance.”’ Wilham B. Reed, of Philadelphia, then ad- the court as follows :—“ May it please your honor, 1 beg to present myself, im con- jenction with my colleagues, as the counsel of Jefferson Davis, now a prisoner of State at Fortress Monroe, and under indictmentin your bonor’s court for high treason.

At the surface it emitted no odor, and tasied sweet; but on descending into tbe pipe vault, where the water is taken from the bottom of the reservoir, the fishy oder and taste were atonce perceived. The distributing reservoir is in form nearly a rectangle, 2.250 feet long and $50 wide at the flow line, baving 44 acres of water surface and a depth of water Tanging from one to twenty feet. It receives its supply from the receiving reservoir. The becessity for having an arrangement at the distributing reservoir for separate drainage and supply is now obvious, the present un- finish tondition rendering it impossible to send surface water to the city, and at the same time to wash the impure water from the bot- tom. I have consequently shut it off from the city, and it is now being emptied through the twelve-inch main at Foundry Branch pipe vault, the thirty-inch main alone supplying the cities with water trom the receiving reser- voir. It wiil take several days toempizy it, as it is a slow process. The thirty-inch main cannot be used drain without depriving the cities of water.
