Toronto, Nov. 17, 1865. ‘The Fenlan scare culminated on Wednesday evening into formidable proportions, and the city may be said to Dein arms. On Wednesday the Administrator of the government telegraphed General Napier, commanding here, to be prepared for a Fenian outbreak along in the “‘wee sma’ hours,” and to place himself in communica- ‘tion with the Mayor for the defence of the city and the Bupremacy of British law. Many rumors were afloat @uring tho days to the contents of the despateh— ‘among others, that a number of deserters from British wegiments would be with the Fenians, and to capture as* “Mnany as possible and string them up to lamp posts; that all Fenians caught were to be held as prisoners, receive ® summary trial and a short rope with all possible despatch. TUR CITY IN ARMS. General Napier conferred with Mayor Metcalf at once, and Jong before dark an unusual stir was apparent in civiland military circles. Volunteers, in full uniform, Jostied against each other on every corner; citizens, asmed with sticks and bludgeons, walked the streets; the Forty-seventh regulars were under arms all night, with ® patrol guard of one hundred and fifty men, with * ‘Dayonets, marching up and down the streets; Dee. ‘Own Volunteers guarded the drill shed whee all ight ‘are deposited; the artillery horses Pita oil Armstrongs under their heavy harness; tag zed with ‘grape and 3 ‘were unlimbered and dou! men stood by their guns pr rv and the brave wailing the order for execu- then, - »- Toronto experienced a night of excitement ‘Timid civzens rushed to their homes, locked ‘Bro Hsors and, hyving borrowed revolvers from the Shef ware stores, charged them and retired to their gouehes to slegs, perchance’ to dream of the Fenians, with bloody heads, feeling for their “jugluars.”” Some, ‘who had no better weapons, armed themselves with axes, shovels, hammers and empty champagne bottles.

Mr. Killian cannot agree with Mr, Raymond Uhat those statements are ‘merely an expression of opinion concerning an organization of persons,” nor. if they were, could he rexard them otherwise than as libelous, grossly olfensive, and richly deserving of rebuke from it such ‘organ- ized persons.’’ He sees in them on th: plain and palpable attempt 10 “indi responsibility of the * Fenian Impostu: mond is pleased to teri it—to «1 the Order niplieity in and the management of a ‘ in brief, to stigma tize them as dangerous citizens and disreputabte inen, preyiny on the credulity of their fellow countrymen, he official “managers” of the Order being, just at resent, three executive officers, now resident in New ‘ork, there is no dilficulty in making the application posomel to them—the ditliculty indeed seems to consist in presuming the ‘expression of opinion” could have had any other meaning. To save Mr. Raymond from further embarrassment on this head, he is respecttully informed that the three * managers,” whose names 1 handed to him yesterday, may be regarded in either an “individual” or “collective” light, but that each and every of them consider Mr. O’hahony's demand for a “retraction” individually and collectively proper, just and fit to be insisted on. Mr. Killian cannot restrain his expression of astonish- ment at Mr. Raymond's allusion to “such a submission of facts as shall lead to a change of opinion in’’ Mr. Ray- mond.

Should Mr. Raymond fail to sec the urgency of the retraction asked for, he is requested to name some gentleman with whom Mr, O'Mahony aud Mr. Killian might enjoy a more satisfactory acquaintance. B.

Drouyn de Lhnys said to Minister Dayton that the dangers of the government of Maximilian would come principally from the United States, and the sooner we showed ourselves satisfied and munifested a into peaceful relations with that government the sooner would France be ready to leave Mexico and the new government to take care of thems which Frauce would in any event do as soon as it with Propriety could; but that it would not lead or tempt the Archduke into difliculty and thén desert him before his He added that France could willingness to enter government was settled. not do that. Mr. Seward, in reply to this narration of Mr. Dayton, instructed him to inform the Freneh government that in the opinion of the United States the permanent estab- lishment of a fo vn and monarchical government in Mexico will be found neither easy nor desirable, The United States, congistenuy with their principles, can do » destinies of Mexico in the keeping of her own people, and recognize their sover eiguty and independence in whatever form they them- selves shall choose that this sovereignty and independ- ence shall be manifested.’ lt was previously declared by M. Drowyn de Lhoys that as to Mexico “the purpose of the French govern- men was to take the city, to give some kind of order to the condition of things there, repay themselves for debts, expenses, &¢., and then Jeave the country.” ‘The text of the convention concluded botween France and Mexico to regulate the eonditigns of the stay of the French troops in Mexico for the purpose of establishing OM» and consolidating the new empire, “done at the castle © stiramar tho 10th day of April, 1864," provides that “the Fre», (oops at present in Mexico shall be Teduced 28 8001 © yossible to a corps of twenty-tve thousand men, including «.., foreign legion.

Sermon by Dr. Tymg. 87. GEORGE'S CHURCH CONGREGATION, The congregation of St, George’s church held public worship yesterday in Irving Hall. The hall was filled with a fashionable congregation. A sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Tyng, in which he referred to the destruc- tion by fire of the church in Stuyvesant square, of which he was so long tie pastor, and with whose history he was so intimately connected, He said that fire is 4 puri- fier; that God takes various means of purging and tryini his people; that however severe the trial and the loss 0! the church now inay of God must still be rec he hand of a ehasten- ing parent, Again, after se ars of worship in their own fine church, the congregation are wanderers and outcasts; again they are in the wilderness; but the promised lnud will yet be reached, the haven will soon appear which will shelter us from the storm. The perishable monument of the work of the pastor is de- stroyed by tire, but the imperishable monument of the body of the church, the truths of Christianity ineuteated from the pulpit of the noble edifice, remains, We have been “tried as by fire;’’ the trial will’ yet be for the good of the church. The roverend gentleman continued to ad- monish the congregation to bear up against their afflietion and to learn from it the perishable nature of all earthly alfections. em to the congregation, the hand ized as U Lecture by the Rev.

Chatineey Giles, pastor of the Chureh, in Thirty-fifth street, deltvered a lecture in the hall of the Cooper Union, setuimg forth the claims of Swedenborg as a seer, There was a large attendance, ‘The lecturer commenced by saying that the Lord always provider leaders and teachers for His people~ citing Abrah «d Moses as examples.

In ade ng the claims of any man to be the instrument of » Lord in introducing a new order of things, the real and final test must be the necessity for the work claims to have been sent to do, and the manner in w he performs it, The ‘people of the Ne Chureh only ask for their doctrines a fair hearin, But this they find it ditticule to get, as most peo- ple take it for granted that Swedenborg was insane, and his writings not worthy of notice. Swodenborg claims to have received and communicated to men a true Knowledge of the spiritual world, and of man a8 a iz had open intercourse with spirits and angels for many years. Ho also claims that he has disclosed the true interpretation of the : and the laws according to which they are written; that'he has found and given to us the key by which the natural sense of the Word may be un- locked, and the spiritual sense obtained.

Admitting his claim to be true, we challenge all history to produce a man #0 well fitted for such an office as Swedenborg, His education, both in direction and extent, was® fit preparation foc’ hie high office.
