The im- portant mountain range of the Galtees, in Munster, is said to be {yy of Fenians, and an attack on the town of Tipperary, capital of the county, was looked for. The inhabitants of the town are said to be completely dis- affected to the government. Leinster province and the county of Kerry are again tranquil, but small bodies of Fenians patrol the counties of Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Tipperary, and rob what they require. Tweive prominent Fenian leaders have been captured. James ‘Stephens is said to bein Paris. ‘“Loads’’ of Fenian arms are seized in different parts of Ireland.

Ta the Senate yesterday bills were introduced incorpo. rating the East River Bridge Company; to protect keep- ors of taverns, inns, &c., and to protect tevants in tee {no possession of theirlands, Several bills were advanced toa third reading, and a committee of conference was asked for on the Constitutional Convention biil, the Senate insistine upon its substitute. In the assembly biils relative to the Fire Department ‘and 10 incorporate the East River Bridge Company were reported, among numerous others.

Bills to suppress gambling bells in the Metropolitan district; to regulate the man- ner of making arrests for violations of the Excise law; for the construction of railroads in Broadway and other streets, and to alter the map of New York, were intro- duced. THE CITY. The Fenian excitement contint jaabated. Numer- ous donations were accepted, but owing to the lowness of the funds hundreds who offered to volunteer were re- fused. An enthusiastic meoting of Irish American off- cors was held at Masonic Hall last night. The members of the Brotherhood in Washington and elsewhere are also moving in the matter of aid to the men at the front, Nineteen steamships left New York yesterday for European, West Indian, Central American and coastwise ports, carrying one thousand and thirty-four passengers, four hundred United States troops and $478,707 in specie.

General Grant had an interview with the President Yesterday, when, it t#wupposed, the question of military Appointments under the Reconstruction bill ip the South was thoroughly discussed A doubt as to General Sickles’ eligibility bas arisen, owing to his not holding the rank of brigadier general in the regular army. The Louisiana House of Representatives has concurred in the Senate resolution appointing a committee to pro- test against the Reconstruction bil) of Mr. Sherman. Charges have been preferred against Governor Wells, tn the House, for usurpation in issuing his proclamation declaring the qualifications of voters in the State iv ao- cordance with the Reconstruction biil, and his impeach- ment is probable. ernor and others had an interview with General Sheridan regarding the rights of negroes to vote at the election which was to bave been heid to-day, when they were informed that if the negroes did not vote the election Mayor Monroe, the Lieutenant Gov- would be null A bill was immediately passed in the ‘House postponing the proposed election. ‘The Reconstruction Convention bill was reported in the Virginia Senate yesterday, with an amendment pro- testing against the unconstitutionality of Sherman’s Dil, Our Virginia correspondence says that, al- though the General Assembly have been wrangling and debating over propositions to call a conven- tion, and appear adverse to doing 90, the people are anxious to be restored to the Union, and meet- ings are being held in various portions of the State for the purpose of demanding a convention, A trouble with the negroes near Williamsburg is reported. They refused to pay rent for property which they were occupy- ing, and upon a demand being made by the agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau, they armed themselves and re- peated their refusal.

Mr. George Tucker, the republican candidate for Mayor in the iate election at Alexandria, Va., yesterday do- manded the office of Mr. Latham, the democratic candi- date and present incumbent, who was deciared cleoted. Mr. Latham declined to vacate. We have files from Bermuda dated to the 19th of February. The Royal Gazette of that date reports:— Her Majesty’s gunboat Minstrel, Lieutenant Com- mander Medlycott, arrived on Wednesday last from Ciudad Rodrigo, river Orinoco, via Bar- badoes. Yellow fever having made its appear- fauce on board the Minstrel when up the Orinoco, she loft to come north, and called at Barbadoes, where she landed four persons suffering from that disease. She sailed up here from Barbadoes and had a passage of ten days to Quarantine, The same journal announces the following naval and military movements:—The transport St. Lawrence, with two batteries of the Royal arfillery, eleven officers and two hundred and two mon of all ranks, under the command of Colonel Thompson, arrived here on Saturday last from Gibraltar, The First battalion of the Fifteenth regiment, now serving in New Brunswick and outposts, is under orders for Bermuda, and may be expected nere about the end of the present month. The Eighteenth company of the Royal engin- cers, commanded by Captain Hewett, now at Halifax, is under orders for Bermuda. We understand that the Fifth and Thirty-fourth companies of the Royal engin- cers, now in Bermuda, are under orders to precoed to Halifax early in the spring, when the Fourth company, now at that place, under command of Captain Keith, will come to Bermuda.

The Lieutenant Governor said at the close that as no revenue bi!l had been parsed the State was without sufficient credit to raise one hundred dollars for repairs on the State prison. A new trial has been denied to Sanford Conover, who was recently found gallty of perjury, by the Supreme Court at Washington. A. H. Leo, the Treasury clerk who absconded with $38,000 worth of seven-thirty bonds, has made a full confession, in which he avers that the theft was not pre- meditated, bat that he had been drinking when he com- mitted it, ‘The Kingdom of Canada—Action ef Congress Bearing on this Matter. The proceedings in Congress on Friday with reference to the declared policy of the British government to erect a kingdom on our border are not without significance. We regard them as only the beginning of a movement here against this project which is destined to as- sume such proportions as may cause England to abandon her purpose. It is but the straw on the surface indicating the current of popular sentiment beneath. We refer to the resolution of Mr. Banks which was adopted in the House of Represen- tatives under the operation of the previous question, thus showing how favorably it was received. The resolution was‘in the following words:—“ That in view of events transpiring on the northern frontier of the United States it is expedient that the standing Committee on Foreign Affairs shall be now appointed by the Speaker for the purpose of considering the foreign relations of the United States.” Mr. Fernando Wood offered previously a buncombe resolation expressing sympathy with the “peo- ple of Ireland in their pending struggle for constitutional liberty,” to which he appended a clause stating that “if the despotic govern- ments of Europe shall be allowed to establish monarchical institutions in America, so should the United States foster and promote the extension of republicdn institutions to Europe.” The rules were suspended by @ vote of 103 yeas to 14 nays for the intro- duction of Mr. Wood’s resolution. Subse- quently the above resolution of Mr. Banks was passed and the whole matter referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, which the Speaker was directed to appoint, Mr. Wood opposed the reference of his resolution, where- upon Mr. Banks properly and justly remarked “that the naked expression of sympathy for Ireland amounted to very little, There was not s member of the House who did not enter- tain that sentiment as strongly as the gentle- man from New York; but the resolution was coupled with other questions affecting the interests of the country and which should be referred to the Committe on Foreign Affairs.” The House finally dropped the buncombe and useless resolution of Mr. Wood and adopted the practical one of Mr. Banks. The motive that influenced the House in its action was explained by Mr. Banks in the re- marks he made. He referred to the proceedings in “the House ot Lords contemplating the estab- ishment of an empire in the British Provinces which might hereafter surpass in power that of the United Siates and be second only to that of England herself, or might equal that of Russia.” This language Mr. Banks quoted from the mover of the bill in the House of Lords to establish such an empire, which shows the object and expectations of the British government The whole tenor of the debate in the House of Lords was in the same vein and of the eame important character. The fundamental principles of the bill or bills to establish a monarchical government over the British Provinces were under consideration and were freely discussed. We are not left in the dark, therefore, as to the purpose of Eng- land. The question for the government and people of the United States to consider is whether or not the establishment of wch @ monarchy on SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 1867. The Insurrection im Ireland. The Fenian movement, if it be not gathering strength, is at least not as near suppression as the tone of the cable despatches would have led us to believe. At the last accounts the insurgents were entrenched in @ pass called the Devil’s Bit, in one of the mountain ranges of Tipperary. That their force there was con- siderable may be inferred from the fact that the government had deemed it necessary to send artillery to dislodge them. In the mean- while partial risings at other points continue to be reported, and the insurgents appear to be in large numbers in the mountain range of the Galtees, in the province of Munster. There is a difference, however, between guerilla movements such as these and opera- tions in the open field. As yet all the insur rectionary efforts made bave been in the way of surprises by small bodies of men, and in all of them, if we are to believe the accounts sent us by the oable, they have been worsted. It will take a long spell of this kind of fighting to arrive at anything like a result. To inspire the masses with confidence the popular leaders should have struck # decisive blow at some point where the government was weak and where, in addition to the prestige thus won, they might have gained some strategical ad- vantage. That they have not done so argues that their plans are but imperfectly organized and that the movement was imprudently pre- cipitated. ne it is true that the desultory sort of warfare now being carried on was a favorite idea of Stephens; but to ensure its success it should have been commenced before the government had had time to complete its arrangements. Then it would have had the effect of distract- ing its attention and of inducing it to so spread the comparatively small force at its command that it could have been easily beaten in de- tail. Now that it is prepared at all points it would seem the height of folly to prosecute a system of operations that was intended for another and very different state of things. We say this, however, with a reservation. The movement may have had a pressing object that could not be delayed. It may turn out that it was commenced in concert with the English radicals, Should this prove to be the fact, what would now seem rasbness would prove to be sound policy.

They look to the future and legislate for ages to come, They may be disappointed, but they have been too successful heretofore in their far- reaching policy in other cases not to make the effort. We think it more likely thet the United States will control in the future the destinies of the whole American continent—the Canadian Provinces as well as the rest—than that this British northern portion will control our des- tiny. Still, such a state of things might exist among ourselves, through civil war or other causes, when the enemies of the United States and republican institutions could use a neighboring monarchical Power to injure us very materially, We saw how the comparatively weak colonies of Great Britain lying along our border could injute us during the late rebellion. How much more this might be the case if these colonies were consolidated in a monarchy and should acquire & population of ten, twenty or more millions, Singlebanded, such a monarchy might prove very troublesome; but when backed by the power of the British empire it might be really dangerous. We, therefore, should look ahead as well as England, and should nip in the bud these incipient and sinister designs against republicanism on the American continent. There is good reagon tor the action of Con- gress, and we hope both the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Congress itself will express in strong language the sentiment of the Ameri- can people against the monarchical scheme of the British government. We have had too many evidences of the hostility of England and other European Powers—particularly of the hostility of England—to our republican institutions, not to be aroused at this new roy- alist project. The sinister efforts made by the aristocracy of England to dismember the re- public when the rebellion broke out, and the new holy alliance of monarchs to erect a mon- archy in Mexico, showed the spirit and purpose of European policy in America. England has evinced the same disposition through the whole period of our existence as a republic, Cer tainly, then, it is our duty to check this new movement by all the means in our power.
