Woked iipon ‘is reprebensible to a degree. This popular fecling quickly subsided, and now both sexes vio id their deyotion to the boa god. Though few would care tosee a ladics? base ball club, with fair feminine pitchers apd catchers, yet there are other games as amusing and healthful which they may safely indulge in. Foremost among these is croquet, a gama which bas been introduced here during the past season, It 48 a simple and withal an exciting game, and one in which bar gentlemen may participate. Ip Eng- Jand the game, though but of recent date, is very much played. All the parks and squares in the neighborhood of London as well as throughout Great Britain have their croquet clubs, and on a fine sumner day numbers of ladies may be seon trundling the painted balls over ‘the greensward and making the air merry with their mirth. In tho Park there 4s plenty of opportunity for the playing of the game—of course under certain restric- tions. “At a nod from our fair metropolitans the Commis. sioners will even set a plot of smooth sward apart for their special use and benefit. If such a suggestion be acted upon it will not only be advantageous to our fair ‘friends as an agreeable amusement, but also as a health ful pastime, ARCHERY. For ladies, too, there is another outdoor sport which mught with advantage be introduced into the country. ‘The practi¢e of archery possesses a great number of ad- vantages. It expands the chest, adds vigor to the arms, gives the éye a keenness, and cannot fail to impart health and beauty to all who partake of it, There are few sports with which such historic memories are con- nected, Cressy, Agincourt and Chevy Chase are among the triumphs attained by the winged shaft; and Robin Hood and William Tell are but two of tho many distin- guished archers that have been. If once introduced here weld wick); ome a favorite with the fair sex, See woe git Ne an vce iat hee for the sport, Jeapping Jessons as they hAve from the boy Cupid, whose tufted arrows they delight to toy with, Throughout Great Britain, asin the case of croquet, there are hosts of archery clubs, and many of the lady members would put some bonstful Indian warriors to shame with such pro- cision do they shoot, It must not be imagined the sport ig one very easy of acquirement. To guide an arrow to the bull’s eye is & feat requiring no little skill and'.no inconsiderable practice, An archery ground in’ the Park would be one of the t acquisitions possible, and the establishment of .e New York Archers would be quickly followed by the formation of clubs all through the country. It is unfair that all our outdoor sports should be confined to tho sterner sex, and there is little doubt that thd fact of ladies peeping with gentlemen in such pastimes as croquet and archery would have a salutary effect upon the minds and morals of our young men, Archery meetings in Engiand are among ‘the most pleasant and fashionable of gatherings, and international matches be- tween that country and Irciand are not of unfrequent occurrence. To provide healthful exercise for the body is as essential as to educate the mind, and if some of our wealthy citizens would make a step towards the forma- tion of aclub, such as is suggested here, the effect it would have oh the constitutions, more especially of our fair friends, would amply repay them for the litle trouble they would have to take in doing 80, Pigeon Shooting. ‘This sport has become quite a favorite, and during the Beason there will be a number of exciting matches throitghout the country. The champion at present is Mr. J. Taylor, of Jersey City, whose contests with Leeds during the past seagon created 80 much excitement. It may be remembered that of the last matches one was ‘won by Leeds, the other by Laylor, so that the superior merit of vither has not yet been decided. It is probable that ere long another contest between these parties will be Taylor, on the 17th inst., has a match with Esk, sald to be an excellent shot, at Lafayette, Ind. The stake is largo, being $2,000 a side, and considerable tn- terest is felt in the match among sporting circles, Pedestrianism. An interesting affnir will take place on the Union Course, Long Island, on Monday—i. ¢., aone mile raco between J. A. Clarke, conceded to be the swiftest ran- mer in America, and the English “Unknown.” The stake is $1,000 a side, and the sport promises to be good. ‘This is understood to be but the first of a series of pedes- twian matches, which, if concluded ina proper manpor, will doubtless become very popular. Conclusion, So much for tho spring sporting season, which opens on us even sooner than expected. The balmy April air is premonitory of summer heat aud consequent uncom Sortably limp shirts and perspiring faces. Soon all tho sports referred to will be inaugurated and joy will be Drought to Gotham and Gothamites. Already beauty los Broadway adorned in ail the novelties of jon. Even as we write the (iny seedlings beneath tho soil are pushing their way over the surface of the ground, are becoming hard and springy, and everything @nnounces a season of unprecedented prosperity to the Bporling world, Exto, Police Intelligence. ANOTHER SAFE ROSBEKY—A LAD ROBS HI8 EM: PLOYERA OF NEARLY @IX THOUSAND FIVE NUN, DRED DOLLARS—MOST OF THE MONEY RECOV- BRED. On Thursday evening the bookkeeper of Messrs. Rager Brothers, shipping and commission merchants, at 45 Beaver stroct, gave the key of the safe to Johannes ‘Treveranus, a lad fifteen years of age, employed by the firm, with instructions to lock the safe and leave the key in its accustomed place. Johannes, however, closed the safe door, but purposely neglected to lock it. Later 4m the evening, when some Women were scrubbing out the Johannes returned, and opening the safe, romoved ‘containing $4,900 in certified checks on city and $1,500 in gold checks and Treasury notes, amounti ‘All to $6,400; he wrapped the box in an old paper und left.

Detectives Ober and Doyle were detaited by Captain Warlow to work up the case, and after a protracted search the detectives traced to one of the Bowery theatres and. arrested etn him. On being charged with the theft the pris coner confessed his guilt, and statgd that he had taken apartments at Korn’s Hotel, No. 80 East Broadway, with the proprietor of which he bad deposit ed the tin box and all the stolen money with the excep. tion of what he had spent, This statement proved to be worrect, and the recovering ali the money taken by Johannes but 500, whi h he bad spent in purchasing a gold watch, three suits of clothes one down gold pencils, two revolvers, nec various other articles, He bad also be ticket for New Orieans in the steamer ¢ ton, which safled at three o'clock yeste ‘The accused was taken before J nand com mitted for examination.

Our Montreal Despatch. Mowrurat, April 18, 1866. It is reported that three men in the Royal artillery have been arrested for giving utterance to Fenian pro- clivities, The authorities keep the matter a profound secret, but the fact is well authenticated, The court martial will certainly be kept private. Four months ago @ similar case occurred in this same company, when a sergeant was degraded to the ranks. A rumor is current of a fracas which has occurred be- tween the inhabitants of Stanstead and the volunteers appointed to defend them. This is extremely probable. Stanstead is on the extreme border of Vermont and Canada, and 1s peopled by Americans eager for annexa- tion, A man issaid to have beon killed in the fight ‘The Chasseurs returned here last night from Suspension Bridge, boiling with indignation against the authorities. ‘They state that they have been shamofully ill-treated. No clothes have been issued to them and they have been compelled to go almost naked. They declare they will never volunteer again. A few daye ago two detectives left Montreal to bunt up Fenian information. One Clark, from Sherbrooke, went to Eastport, while the other, Captain Flowers, de- parted for Calais. Flowers tolegraphed eaying that he had joined a Fenian expedition. He has not since teen heard from. Grave fears toftpent the authorities lost he should have paid the penalty of his rashnew and have been thrown overboard. Great diseatisfaction exists among leading Catholics here that the court which tried the Cornwall prisoners should have been composed entirely of Protestants. ‘Trouble is anticipated on this account.

THR PRNLANH AND THE PUTIRRIRS, The fisbery qaestion is already beginning to loom up. ‘The season hax just commenced, and sojourners here are regaled with the first run of the piscatorie! delicacies which fill the market stands and which have been con- fessedly brought from the disputed waters. The fisher- men are uninterrupted as yet. They say that the Eng- lish men-of-war have too much to do to watch the Fenians to interrupt their business. The residents of Campo- bello are moving to have an end put to their operations, but the present situation imposes msurmountable objects to the accomplishment of their wishes. Tho fishermen number many Fenians, and the arms which are arriving here are to be distributed to them as citizens of the United States, to protect themselves in the exercise of their claimed rights. NEUTRALITY TO BR FNFORCED The United States authorities have been instructed to enforce strict neutrality, bat the Fenians have puzzled them by the manner in which they are proceeding. Sec retary McCulloch telegraphed instructions specially, in the case of the seizure of the schooner to-day loaded with arins; but after the vessel had been taken into custody « consultation was had of the gentlemen bere representing the government, viz.—Mesers, Farrar, Deputy United es Marshal; Long, Collector of the port, and Captain Freeman, of the revenue service, and it was decided that the veosel could not be detained, ax she was provided with a due clearance, manifest, and « consignment to Doran B. Killian, at the port of Eastport, Me. Captain Cooper, commanding the United States gun- boat Winooski, has also been fn receipt of telegraphic orders from Washington, and no hesitation if felt in the declaration that, though their actual wording bay not transpired, they are aixo expressive of the wish of the government at Washington that he should co-operate with the other United States officials in the preservation of tho neutrality laws, It is now ratisfactorily ascertained that the brig Sarah captured Serurday night, is not connected with the Fenians in any way, bat was an ordinary smuggler on private account. GENERAL KILLIAN AND THT COLLECIOR OF THE PORT had an interview this morning,at whieh the former made a request for the release uf the vessel consigned to bim. He stated he wax an American citizen and de- manded it ax a right, The Collector said that if General Killian was an American citizen his knowledge of his da- tics as soch would prevent him from violation of the laws of his country clatmed that he was acting consistently with his charac ter, aud he would not tranagress his obligations to the United States, ‘The General's statemonts doubtless bad much to do with determining the authorities in their consultation, as above referred ts.

CAPTORS A8 0 RELEASE OF THE FENIAN RCHOONER FRAT THR PRNIANS ALL PIOMRRMES, Karly this moming ® Veulan schooner, the Prag, heavily Jaden with arma and ammunition, was captured by the United #tates revenue cutter Asbielot, and brought into the harbor, The arms and ammunition were of comree designed for Mr. Killian here, who had a yacht stationed ®t Quaddy Head, to notify the schooner of the danger of being captured and keep her of But the | density of the fog last night prevented the signal from boing seon, and the rewilt was that the schooner was || gallantly approaching Eastport when stopped by the | ont of the revenue cutter, Owing to representations being made of thelr determination to reapect and pre- serve neutrality laws, the United Atates Collector deter yaad gh my seigure euculd by mad aad pe Year ‘was released and is now distributing her cargo at differ. ent pointe along the frontier. The Fenians al} say that they came out here only to fish, and that Mr. Killian ia only turning a portion of the Fenian funds to ac. count in the formation of a new fishing company, of which he is to be the president. A large sale of arms is ROW going on, to wi the thborhood are mvited, and Mr. ‘Killian says there will be particular atten- tion paid to the bids of fishermen who may desire to protect themselves from English ion in American waters called English waters, fishermen their neis, which are all busily engaged in they were a long time in By ey deny that they are going to invade any place, but say that in the course of a very short time they will start on a iflcent fishing ‘excursion, and in,the event of the English war ships or the English troops at {Ce Ho, or any place else, Sring upon them, why then the arms which are so liberally distributed will enable them to defend them- selves. They algo say that by having a large number of fishermen they will be better able tocatch all the cods along the border, A strong argument tn favor of re- leasing the Fenian schooner was put forward in the fact that the steanfboat to Calais, the Queen, on her last trip from here, brought larze quantities of arma, destined tor St. Stephens, Mr. Killian contends that they have no right tw bring those arms over any portion of American tel and that wher they are permitted to do so, he, at least, should also be allowed to bring over some arms for his He promises to do so quietly and in such @ manner as will not even shake the nerves of the volunteers on the other side or the old ladies here, He is fully aware that tho sight of arms and am- munition has a very bad effect upon nervous people #0 he is determined thiat thotr nerves shall not be shocked by the eight. 4 FIGHT ROUND A THIRTY-TWO POUNDER. Tk was supposed for some time that a quantity of Fenian cannon was concealed in the nelghborhood of Pembroke, and there waz evidence to that alfect yester- day, as tity men wore ordered up in that direction with tackling to aove cannon. Two were sta tioned at the Pembroke iron works in charge of a thirty- two pounder, and while there were overhawed Uy & rt of English workmen, who endeavored to spike th but the Fenians instantly drew thelr revolvers an’ blazed away at them, when the crowd out of the town, chased by the two Fenians, who incroased their numbers on the way. The English workmen have not since made their appearance in Pembroke, and i is be- lieved some of them have been seriously wounded. Tho cannon in question was one which, with a similar one, had been presented afew evenings ogo to the Fenians. The party wife presented it, fearing additional trouble, berets ey the quarrel, aud in order that it should not be avaia the enbject of dispute, put it under the bammer and destroyed it, es Eastront, Me., April 19, 1866. The aituation of affatre here is becoming decidedly ibteresting, and the denouement of the present complica- tions puzzles the most astute to foretell, The mystery of the Fenian movement has thi¢kened 30 much within the past few days that outsiders give up as hopeless tho effort to solve the problem of theis objects. They publicly declare that they have no intention of invading the neighboring province or of in any way violating the neutrality laws of the United Stages Yet arms are arriving for them, and there 1s every semblance of an organized demonstration of a military nature. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS. Mf bs now shrewdly suspected that the movement bere is a raso to inspire the British authorities with the idea that the Fenians are going to make @ land demonstration against the goil of her Britannic Majesty, while in reality the gathering of men, cannon and arms here is for the pur- pove of providing crews and armaments for privateers, whieh are to sail from this port under the green flag, and either prey upon British commerce or carry muni- ions of war and usen to asgist the expected rising in Ireland. Another version is, that tho Fenians, as fishermon bo- longing to the United States, are gomg to assert their privileges to ply their vocation in the debated waters that have already given rise to ao much diplomatic agi- tation, and in doing eo they will carry arms to defend themselves from interference, The probability of both these canjectures is now strengthened by the fact that the bakors in this town are busily at work preparing a large quantity of pilot bread, under aeontract from the Fenian loaders, Fonians going by Jand would not be in need of this particular ar- ticle of diet, eo the impression grows stronger that a secret sea expedition is deeply concealed under the present movement. THE ACTION OF THR URITRD STATES AUTHORITIM. Whatever the {instructions from Wash! may be, the United States anthorities are to a creak flurry. They aro centinusily gota from que to anuther, and hourly consultations are in progress.
