It is not likely that auy annecessary restraint will be placed npoa his | wovements any further than safficient to guarantee his appear- | ance ot the examination and prevent any further violation of the veutrality act. Nothing anusual took place st the exawination.

Of course the news of the arrest of these promingnt lead- ore caused not a little excitemeut among the Irishmen in the city, most of whom seemed to consider it the death | blow to their hopes of the conquest of Canada, and their denunciations of the conduct of the General Government were loud and unspanng.

Even occ sional rumors of the arrival of parties of their friends in Can: and of successes there, which were occasionally started, fuiled to ind bellevers, and fell dead for want of sustenance. Everybody seemed convinced that the only thing to do was to wait the progress of events, and that with very little hope. Quites large meeting of Fenians was held at the Cooper Institute during the evening, of which our readers wili find an account elsewhere. —— Arrest of Gen. Sweeny. BosToN. Thursday, June 7.

So far as the advamce hes been mede the residents have, almost to a family, evacuated the country, shut up their houses, and driven off their cattle, horses, and other live stock, so that foraging is almost wholly futile.
