THE FENIANS. ‘Tho Fenian situation, except in the ne:ghborhood of St. Albans, is about the same as last reported. No further fighting or invasion has taken place, and the Canadians ere still engaged reinforcing threatened points, the ‘United States neutrals in chasing imaginary columns of the Insh invading army, and the Fenians in pressing formard to the border rendezvous, General Sweeny. ordered an advance yesterday from | @t. Albans, and. the Fenian army in that vicinity is ua- doubtedly.on the march. . It is reported that their inten- sion is to intrench themselves on Canadian soil, where the whole force.can rally without interference from the ‘United States authorities, Their final objective point is said to be Montreal. President Juhnson has issued his proslamation ad- mon:shing all good citizens against abetting the pro- ceedings of the Fenians, exhorting all judicial officers to do all they can to prevent such proceedings, and em- powering General Meade to employ the land and naval forces to maintain the neutrality of the United States. Canada is railing furiously at the United States for per- mitting the recent invasions, and much indignation is oxpreased at the releaso of the Michigan’s prisoners, It is thought the writ of habeas corpus will be suspended in Canada, . In the city yesterday the excitement over the Feman movement was intense, Recruiting went on briskly, two thousand men being enrolled at Tammany Hall during the day. About fourteen hundred left the city for the front, and it is said by the end of the week fifteen thousand more will bo on the move, A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Mr, Roberta, and is in tho hands of the United States Marshal. EUROPE. The steamship Africa, from Queenstown May 27, reached Halifax yesterday, on her voyage to Boston, at which port ghe wil! be due to-morrow morning. Her nows is two days later. Our advices, of May 27, report the aspect of the Ger- man question ag unchanged. Active negotiations were deing carried on for tho assembling of a congress in Paris; but, at the latest moment, Austria had not given hor consent, and the meeting will not take place without it. It was asserted in some quarters that the congress would organize within a period of throe weeks, Eng- land's neutrality in the event of war was reaffirmed. She ‘was using all hor endeavors in the interest of peace, but the Cabinet scarcely “hoped” it would be mafotained. Garibaldi and Kossuth were operating in the cause of liberty for Italy and Hungary. The war situation was firmly supported, particularly by Austria and Italy, ‘Tho fight between Mace and Goss for the champion- ship of England was a were farce. The mon scampered around a ring, sparring a little, for over an hour, after which « *‘draw”’ was declared. The patrons of the prize ving were highly indignant, Financial and commercial affairs still wore a very gloomy aspect in England. Two heavy failures are re- ported. Russia and France are said to have declared their op- position to intervention in the Danubian principalities. ‘Turkey protested in the Paris conference against the in- staliation of Paince Charles us ruler of the territory. ‘Tho steamships Great Eastern, Medway and Albany, with the British war steamor Terrible, are expected to atart about the 30th of June in order to commeace to lay the Atlantic cable.

The reconstruction question wor then taken up, and Mr. Howe continued his speech on the resolutions vegua by him on Tuesday. He and Mr. Doolittle bandied ideas on the subject of parties for some time. A vote was finally taken upon the substitute for the apportion- mont section, and ft was disagreed to. Another substi- tote for the same was immediately offered by Mr. Wil- Hams, of Oregon, and the Senate adjourned In the House tho bill to regulate the 2afe keeping of public money entrasted to disbursing officers was passed. ‘Tho bill to make League Island, in the Delaware river, a ate for naval purposen was taken up aud discussed, but not acted upon. A little personal breeze blew up be- tweon Mr. Keliey and Mr. Brandegoe while considesing the subject, in which the former accused the latter of making gross misrepresentations. THE CITY.

In the sitting of tho United States District Court of Vir- givia at Richmond yesterday Assistant District Attorney Hennessy rose to reply to the question propounded te him the day before by Jeff Davis’ counsel as to whether the indictment against that prisoner is to be tried, dropped or suspended. He said it was to be tried, but when he thought it impossible to say, as neither this court nor any of its officera has any control over the person of the prisoner, Whenever he comes into the custody of the court he will have @ speedy and impartial trial He then moved that when the court adjourn it adjourn until the first Tuesday in October, The Judge so ordered and remarked to the counsel of Davis that it mightbe to the interest of their client to make application to President Johnson in relation to his continued imprisonment. They intend making application to Chief Justice Chase and Attorney General Speed for his release on bail. Our dates from the City of Mexico are to the 19th ult, Some Americans mining in the Michoacan placers were taken by the liberals and disarmed. A Hberal repulse is mentioned as occurring at Teotitlan on tho'80th of April. Mazatlan is so closely besieged that provisions are be- coming very scarce. Great jealousy existed between the French troops and the Austrian, and the entire impe- rlalist army is dissatisfied with the Mexican campaigns. A report of the complete rout of Cortina at Paleto Blanco by General Olivarez is published. A large number of Americunsare gaid-to be in the ranks of the liberal army. Newefrom St. Domingo is to the 17th of May. Gene- fal Cabral bad, as before reported, joined the rovolution- ists, General Pimentel bad been appointed commander- in-chief of the insurgent army.

Genteral- Dulce was about to leave for Spain. Incendiary placards .suggestive of Cuban in- dependence have been found posted about the city. The health of the island is good. ‘The national fair for the benefit of the Soldiors’ and Sailors’ Orphane’ Home was inaugurated at Washington last night. Senator Wilson presided and introduced Major Genera! Howard, Major General Banks, Colonel Mc- Kee and finally President Johnson to the large assem- blage. The President remarked that he came there merely to say a word in thé canse of humanity and to unite in the expreesion of the nation’s gratitude to the aation’s defenders. What noblor object than the present one could we engage in? The education of the destitute orphans of our soldiers would be a work of peace. There was a very large crowd present, and the initiatory ex- hibition was a complete success, ‘The milltary departmente of Teunecsee and Kentucky have been discontinued, and the two States now consti- tute a new department under the name of the Cumber- land. General George Stoneman is the new department commander. The Grand Jury of Mercer county, N, J., presented in- dictments yesterday against Mcsers. Wagoner and Rue, formerly members of the State Legislature, and also against two lobby mombere, for corruptions in passing bills through that body. The North Carvlina State Convention held another session yesterday. Nothing of much importance was transacted, the principal business of the day being de- voted to discussion of the revised constitntion.

Santa Anna ann Mrxico,—Senor Romero makes haste to state that Santa Arma is not endorsed by Juarez. What authority bas he for saying thist Santa Anna has endorsed Ju- arez, and probably Juarez will return the compliment when he can be heard from. It not, it will be so much the worse for Juarez, who isno longer the constitutional Prosident of Mexico.

The Canadians are rushing over into the United States for protec- tion, and the Feniang are rushing into Canada to take Ireland. all the Canadians will be in the United States, and all the Irish-Americans in Canada. This would be a very curious change of base for both parties, which they would probably both find very safe. Av it is evident that the Cana- dians are convinced that they cannot be pro- tected in their own country, the best thing they can do is to come over here en masse, where they will be perfectly secure under the protect- ing folds of the Stars and Stripes. We are » magnanimous people aad can forget—as our neutrality om the border proves—that they helped to dishonor that flag when it wae appa- rently in danger.

The oase of Jeff Davis, the white clophaat which the late rebellion bas left in possession of the government, camo up ia the United States Cirouit Court at Richmond (Judge Un- derwood) on Monday last, and yesterday, with tho adjournment of the court, it was carricd over to the first in October next. _ On the first day of the Late sitting Mr. William B. Reed, of Philadolphia, of counsel for the prisoner, desired to know what is proposed to be done with the indictment againsthim, “Is it tobe tried, is it to be withdrawn, or is it to be suspended?” In view of the logal rights and physical condition of the prisoner Mr. Rood protested against a postponement and demand- ed @ speedy trial Mr, .Honnesey, United States Assistant District Attorney, not being then prepared to answer these questions, the court adjourned for tho dey. Yosterday, as it was evident would be tho result from the beginning, considering the difficulties of the court and of the case, it was carried over as stated to the. pleasant season of Ootober, the prisoner meantime. continuing in-durance vile. It is very uncortain, however, .whother.:hp: will survive through the dog'days:in- confinement, .or-oven:if. entarged;-and’ so; thinking tt most probable that another tribunal will save the ‘government the trouble ot his taial, we believe that mothing-would be hazarded. in view,of the present peace or future safoty of the country by releasing him on bail or parole. This is an extraordinary case, and the open- ing charge of Judge Underwood to his Grand Jury was one of the most extraordinary upon record, Said the learned Judgo:—“I am happy to meet you again and to know that you aro still living, notwithstanding the assaults that have been made upon you.” From this it would appear that the lives of this Grand Jury have been in serious danger, that they have been assaulted, and that it isa matter of thank- fulness to God that they have not been mur- dered. This horrible atate of things, the Judge thinks, is not surprising; it is the natural fruit of the treasonable and licentious pross of Vir- ginis and Richmond; and from the fact that the city “‘has long been the centro of the great- espgraffic in human beings that ever disgraced the world; @ trafflo which has employed many hundreds of moral monsters and many mil- lions of capital; subsidizing the press, pulpit and politics of the State, rendering Richmond more infamous among men for this great crime than all the cities along the coasts of Senegambia, Upper and Lower Guinea, Congo, Loango, Angola and Benguela combined.” This is a feartul picture, and the inference inevitably follows that Richmond, thus savagely demor- alized as the headquarters of the African slave trade and of Jeff Davis as the Head Centre of ® rebellious confederacy founded uppa tho ‘corner stone of this detestable traffic, is hardly | the place in which te find twelve able bodied white men who will agree that Davis ought to be hung; or a solitary negro whose mind is not made up that Jeff ought to be strangled with- out judge or jury. - Judge Underwood, however, improved bis opportunity in instructing the Grand Jury that by a law of Congress “you have it in your power to exercise a wholesome restraint upon licentious tongues and pens and upon a press which, as a blind leader of the blind, has been, and still is, one of the chief causes of past, pre- sent and prospective calumny and misfortune. ‘The murders, duels, assassinations, violent and ungoverned passions, ending in gelf-conflagra- tion and self-immolation, unparalleled in any heathen country; the povorty, suffering, agony and degradation which have given this city of almost unequalled natural capabilities its bad eminenve, are the legitimate fruits of the teach- ings of its public press.” Now, while the history of the Richmond press of the last thirty years will go far to sustain this charge of Judge Underwood, we must say that his violent de- nunciations of Richmond and its people en masse were better adapted for a stump speech from Parson Brownlow or a lecture from that untamable shrew, Wendell Phillips, or for such a savage as Judge Jeffreys on his bloody assize, than for a United States court upon s case of treason. But it is none the less appar- ent that if any of the Richmond secesh news- papers fall into the clutches of Judge Under- wood they will not be let off so easily as they were by General Grant. They profesa s won- derffi admiration of President Johnson, but they have been by far the best of all the allies of Thaddeus Stevens and his radical faction. Bat, while Judge Underwood in his depart- inqnt has digpesed of Jeff Davis for the time being, it must not be forgotten that the Judi- clary Committee of the House of Representa- tives at Washington had for some time, and still have, his case under examination, in view of his trial ae one of the conspirators impli- cated in the assassination of President Lincoln. For his capture as one of those conspirators President Johnson offered his reward of a hun- dred thousand dollars; but, doubtless, the evi- dence upon which he then acted will not pass the test of s judicial inspection. Yet, as we presume that Judge Underwood acted In deference to the Committee of Congrese, we may possibly next bear of s movement in that quarter for the trial of Davis, not for treason, but for murder. In any event he is our white elephant and would be s good riddance. on any terus. Tae QvanaxTien Qoestion—Dery op tHe Gexanat Govenxuant—The Board of Health, with the sid of the general government and seven revenue cutters, have taken possession of the State lands at Seguin’s Point, Staten Island, for cholere hospitals This is an excellent coup de main, and is precisely what was required. A crisis has arrived at which it becomes an imperative secessity that quarantine station should be estab- Mshed inthis harbor. The Board of Health were considerably embarrassed in their efforts to obtain a site for such buildings ae are ne- cessary for those passengers of cholera in- fected vessela who are in good health, while the sick can be taken care of in the bosp{tal shipe, New Jersey absolutely refuses to give up Sandy Hook for hospital purposes. The Coney Island people are equally reluctant to have their little sandy fist occupied for this purpese; but neithor the objections of New Jersey nor Coney Islami, nor Staten cruelty inflicted upon these unfortunate people who are retained in the cholera ships in per- fect health, yet hourly exposed to contagion, is something shameful aad horrible. The scenes of agony they are compelled to witness, apart from the tainted atmosphere which they are forced to breathe, are enough of themselves to superindace the disease. We know of nothing short of binding the living body to the dead so wantonly crael as keeping the well passen- gers cooped up in the samo vessel with the victims of cholera. All the Board of Health require is a spot somewhere on the shore where these people can be accommodated until it is safe to bring them to the city. Viewing this in the light of & great publio sanitary question affecting the whole country we think that the general gov- ernment was right in seizing upon Seguin’s Point for quarantine purposes. Sandy Hook would also be @ most appropriate place. It Is said that the govenment is bound by its ob- ligations to the State of Now Jorsey not to use Sandy Hook for any other than garrison pur- poses; but there:.are emergencies when the general government oan-abrogate contracts for | vemergency has..now: . arisen, . Is- the. whole country tobe swept by cholera to gratify New Jersey? .The government has the power tous certain.lands for. batterjes and: fortifications in time of war. Popular opinion will certainly sustain them in the measures they have now adopted in time of epidemics, Let them take possession of Sandy Hook, as well as Seguin’s Point, if ncovssary, and erect quar- antine hospitals there for the acoommodation of the poor passengers on board the cholera stricken ships who are not yot affected, but are kept thore awaiting in horrible suspense the moment when they may become victims to the monster plague. Common humanity, as well as public safety, demands that the generat government should act vigorously in this matter. Moru Prorzorton.--A considerable effort is being made to get a law passed to protect the passengers upon our ocean steamers. There is gotting to bes little too much of this protec- tion business, What with protecting the ani- mals, the health of the city, the drinking population, our manufacturers and everybody else, the thing is being run into the ground. The best protection for passengers would be the formation of an Admiralty Board, like that of England. Genoral Santa fim this City.

The parade of tho Third brigade National Guard, under command of General Aspinwall, yesterday afternoon, was quite @ successful affair. The brigade, which is composed of the Fourth, Eleventh, Twenty-second, Sixty-ninth and Ninety-ffth regiments, formed a line on Fifth avenue aud Fourteenth street, about half-past three o'clock, and marching down Broadway in splendid style, reached the City Hall Park about half-past four o'clock, Here Mayor Hoifman and the Common Coun- cil reviewed the troops as they marched and counter- marched through the Park, and expressed their appro- bation of the fine soldierly rance of the men. The Fourth ‘iment, el H. D. Hull, had the right of the line. It was by a large dram corps, fully attired in the dashing Zouave uniform of the regiment. Themen marched remarkably well and elicit- ed the hearty applause of the spectators. The Elevonth regiment, Colonel Maidof, came next, marching in fine style.’ It was preceded by a druin corps and band. ‘The Twenty-second regiment, Colonel J. F. Cox, with 8 drum corps and Dodworth's bind, looked wll and was tmuch admired. This is, General Aspinwall's old ragi- mont. The Sixty-ninth regiment, Colonel McMsbon, came aloug looking better than it has atany time since the war. The band played the ‘‘Wearing of the Green," and the spectators, large portion of whom were Fenians, no doubt, cheered lustily as the boys passed in review.

They bravely up! the banner of our unity, and the number have come back to receive the applause of a grateful nation.
