Conner’s deputies bad the pleasure of a lengthy inter- view with the distinguished exile at Montreal on Thurs- day morning last The deputy had been to Syracuse, and took it'into his head to take a pleasure trip with some members of his family as faras Montreal, A HERALD representative questioned the ike cavaes yes- terday at his olfice in the New Court House as to wlethor he heard anything of Fields during his trip. He seemed very much opposed to speak upon th bo ade but being pressed admitted that he had seen and talked While in Montroal he ascertained that ‘foin”” resided there.
