The situation is unchanged since last writing. Un- ‘usual quietude reigns in - Fenian circtes, to ali outward appearances ; but inside their halls they are as active as men can be who are on the eve of great events. All the halls in the city, five in number, are crowded every night with armed men, who spend three or four hours in drilling. During the day they follow their usual avo- cations, talk but little, and when asked what the Fenians are doing the reply is invariably, “Nothing; Fenianism ie dead.” ‘The doors of all their halls and arsenals are closely guarded, » | no person but members can obtain admission, how muc!, he may sympathise with or support the movement. ‘Several additional arrivals of central orcanizere and officers who participated in the late raid are noted. ‘They are holding datly caucuser. On Saturday night the United States steamer Michi- gan, Captain Bryson, suddenly and quietly dropped anchor in the river, and now lies in the eame spot she occupied during the raid of lagt year.
