Despatch to the Toronto Leader. ; ' Cornwall, April 13. Sheedy, the Socretary ot the Toronto Hibernian Society, arrived here from Toronto this morning in charge of a con stable. One C. C. Wheeler, claiming the rank ol Lieutenant-Colonel in tbe Feman Army, and late ot the Southern Army, wss arrested on tho train this morning, lrom a telegram received here last night. On being searched his commission was found; ulso, bweenej's authority to recruit a imitation lor the Fenian force, and a number of the papers and memoranda, as well as photographs of Gene ral Sweeney and several others, were found on him. He had in his possession only eleven dol lars in Canada bills and no arms. A copy of the oath of the Fenian Brotherhood, it is said, was also iound on him. Wheeler Is a fine-looking fellow, genteel in manner, and well dressed, and perhaps thirty yean ol age. It is said he openly boasts of being a Fenian; but says he has done nothing to justify his arrest. He ex presses satisfaction with his quarters, and says he has been in worse and got out again, and that General Sweeney will be over here shortly and show cause for his release. 1 - ' Sheedy preserves a cheerful air. He passed from the train and into the waiting room whitt ling "Irish Molly." He is inclined to display bis native wit and sarcasm, having said that Cornwall was the best place he had yet been in, lor he would "live in Toronto till the grass grew over his grave" before he would be met at the station by a body guard of titty volunteers. The Mayor is bringing the volunteers and him self into ridicule by rushing them to the station whenever he hears of a Fenian arrival, instead of employing constables. This morning be or dered out a company of volunteers to stand guard, with fixed bayonets, around the train, to receive a man who was brought from Toronto by a sinzle constable. It is believed that the preliminary examina tion of Sheedy and Wheeler will be held to-morrow, wben they will be remanded, wHu the others, till Tuesday. ' . HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM JRELAWD.

The bird has left' his nest, but when and bow did he Hyr That the redoubtable Jumes Stephens is in . Paris is certain, but how did he get there, and when did be leave ? Tbe Irish and Engllsn papers are at a loss for information on these points, and aa a return for the amount of attention they are paying him, I would suggest that the "Head Centre" should give them a lull explana tions ot his movements' as soon as ever he touches Iree earth in America. I dou't think my letter of the 8th Instant left your leadets much to learn on the subject, and all that I have learned since then tends to con firm the narrative I then sent yoy; but the number of versions of the escape now afloat, and the helpless bewilderment of the public journal ists in striving to choose between them, or to reconcile the conflicting statements they con tain, is too amusing to be ignored. Among the niota important of the communications bearing ou Stephens' escape which have appeared in the papers, are tbe subjoined letters which the Lon don Daily Ttuegrapti prints as . letters ."from Colonel Kelly, a companion in escape with Ste phens, to his mends in Ireland." "I'abib, March 21 My Dear : When I parted lrom you on Tuesday nisht yon hadn't muoh idoa ot the heavy t k before me, let now tost all is over it arrears only line a dream. Although you thought Mr. Mf plieus bad left the country, he was in Dublin until that mabt; and, spite of ail the vuilanoM of British spies, he left his lodmnirs on a outside car, got on noard a vessel in the LUTuv, and salitid for an English port. It was amusing to mo to see him pass several po icemen on the quars, and walk deliberately on board. We were three days in the Channel, owiuvto bad winds. "We ultimately leached a port in Scotland, slopt all niyht at Kilmarnock, rode in the mail train next dav lrom there to .London slept in London, and (ln the heart oi the enemy's city), alter sleeping all night in a hotel across the street from Uuckmifliain I'aisce Hotel), started by the morning train from the Victoria Station for Dover. We got on board the French mail stoamer there about eleven o'olock on (Sunday, and sturtea lor Calais, which we reached Innately. Wasn't my mind nappy wuen 1 touohed irencn soil, and saw the chief organizer of tae Irish Kepublie in a position to )auu at the blindly nisfl, clil d.lkeeiloru oi the British to oapiurehiinl After all the searohes ot ships and steamers outside the IriBh coast, so well were we informed of tueir every movement that the affair was comparatively easy. Tbe next time tnat James Stephens touoti8 lribh soil ha will show the British that their barbar ous treatment of Irish patriots but adiled fuel to the national flame already kindled ail over the island, instead of 'siampinsr it out,' as they propod to do Sir Hugh Roee will find, when he attempts to com mit such devilish barbant es as those or whioh he ma eulliy in India, that ne has not tsepovs to deal with. Let him order bis soldiers to butcher women aud children and srey-baired old men (as he threat ens to do), and blow our soldiers irom the cauuon's mouth lot bim dare carry out bis black-hearted intentions towards the women of Ireland, and there wi'l ce such a retribution, not a one in Iroluud, uut ii the heart of the British empire, as will not be paralleled in history. The enemy left no stone unturned to maka us fiht before we were ready: they played a desperate card, and loot!

Tauib, March 21, lgce Dear Mm. I have been remiss m not writing to you before this. Air. Stephens and myself arrived here on Sunday last. We wore enabled to make our trip witb yreat ease. Just think bow borrioly stupid the enemy's ajretits aie, when we were enabled to travel in the open day ibiouch Scotland and Eniflunri to embark at 11 in tbe day from tbo barbor ot Dover. Alter all tbe ship searching we B'arted from the quays In the City ef Dublin Mr. Stephens left his lodiriujrs ou an open oar, and, on my honor, undisguised I We had no easy time in the Chauuel, as we wers kept there three days, owing to adverts winds, r We were driven to Currioktergus Bay by stress of weather, and it was amusing to think how much the Mavor of beliust would give to know what a dnstlnguished guest be bad. However, as the wind changed, after being authored all night, we did not mske a call or leave our cards. (The remainder is of a private character.) If ours, very sinoerely. ' "Ihomas J. KuvlX." I (five those letters in full, because tltey are authentic, thouah the papers here are In a sad puzzle what to make ot them. "Who is this Colonel Kelly," ther ask, "who turns up lor the first time as the author of these letters 1" Some of yoar Irish readers wuold have no difficulty in answering the query. Caotain not Colonel Kelley was perhaps the most darma wd reck less of all the Irish-American officers who landed in this country since Auxust last, Ia wiw largely Instrumental In effecting 8'.epheus' escape from Richmond Prison, and. if I am cor rectly informed, ho filled tho place of the ' C. 10." during tho wearv weeks wUiou Stephens spent in fever, subsequent to that extraordinary event He accompanied Stephens lo franco, contrary to the statement trade in one of my previous letters, and the correspondence primed above was written to a ladv mend in this city. lt appears that afur proceeding to Skerries in tho manner which I described, and embarking on board the vessel sent by John 41itchel to take him oil', Stephens was compelled to land acain, owing to Ibe appearance ol an Enlinh gunboat which was seen barring the way soon alter the vessel made sail. He returned to Dub lin, and on the following Tuesday leit in an outer bound collier from the coal quay. Such is the way in which some of my lul'ormants ftrive to reconcile well-known lucts with Cap tain Kelly's account. There are others aeuin who ought to know a good deal about the mat ter, and who state positively that the time and place mentioned in the above letters are blinds. The following paragraph, taken from the fans coirerpondence of the journal in which tne above fetters appeared, contains a strong con firmation of my statement that Stephens drove in an open carriage from DuUiu to Skerries on Sunday, the 4th lnsiant, lor the purpose of "Joining his shiD." "Our 'distinguished visitor,' Mr. Stephens, tells us, that he is going to America merely tor a trip, and that very shortly be will return to tae great work of 'Fenianism' which is only iust be ginning. About three weeks since, he declares he drove deliberately iu an open ear for seven and twenty mile, parsing several police stations. He and his two friends were armed, and meant mischief if assailed. He also says that he knew all that went on, even iu the castle." , It is strange, but true, that the majority of persons here refuse fct;ll to believe that Stephens has escaped from tbe country; the police and detectives are ashamed to admit it; and so Dub lin Castle, up to two days ago at least, slumbered on in the profound conviction that the Head Centre was still within its jurisdiction. One would think that the following telegram, which appears in the papers to-day, ought to put au end to all uncertainty on the matter: "Paris, Friday, March 80. The editor ot the Opinion Jfationale states in that Journal that he has received a visit from Stannous, the toman (lead Centre, who announced his approaching departure lor America." Thouands will continue, nevertheless, to regard the report as a ruse, and will obstinately reiuse to bolieve that James Stephens Das quitted the Emerald Isle, for rronths after he will have tuined up at the bcadquar'crs of Venia in Kew York. I dare say I have written for the last time cenoerning the escape ot Stephens. Before my next letter can reach you tne ' C. E." will have appeared in propria peraona before bis admirers in New Yoi. tint I should ntuny iail to convey an idea of the leading topics of comment bere were I to omit referring to tne speculations on Stephens esospe, which are indulged iu so gonerally and so widely amongst us.

The visit of the representatives of the Greble Lodge of Odd Fellows, at, this place, to the Grand Lodge of Virginia, in session at Richmond, Va., a few dajs ago. aflords a very noticeable incident of the genuine good feeling and the general desire ot an approximation towards a better under standing between both sections of the country, so long separated by Internal dissension and warfare, as at present existing among the people of Virginia. The gentlemen comprising the delegation who visited Richmond speak very highly of the cordial welcome extended them by their brethren, of the Old Dominion. ' The Greble Lodge of Odd Fellows, established here during tne war, was organized by persons at tached in various capacities to the Government departments on the Point, and was named after the lamented Lieutenant Greble, of Philadel phia, who fell at Big Bethel. It has since be come a large and efficient body. The warrant for ita institution was granted by the Grand Lodge of the United States, but at the last ses sion ot that lodge lt was recommended that it be turned over to the jurisdiction ft the Grand Lodge of Virginia, in consequence of its being within their territory. ' This transfer of authority was consummated this week, in a manner which promises the hap piest results; and which leads to the belief that the Grand Lodge of Virginia, by their action In the case, will be solely governed in their de liberations by the high principles on which the Order is founded.

My opinion simply was that the late Peace Proclamation did not pre tend to revoke the previous proclamation of President Lincoln, suspending in certain cases the writ in fne 8tates lately in insurrection; and 1 stated that the Peace Proclamation did net Include Texas, and that it had not and was not Intended to have so broad and general an application as the petitioner supposed, aud therefore refused to grant his prayer." Tbe Paris Exposition. The Senate will this week take up the Par's Exposition bill, and will probably pass it.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. , Court of Quarter Skssions Allison, Presi, dent Judge, Tbe trial ol Elizabeth Ileitzler wb was chureed with the larceny of $1560, the property of Clement Katzmejer, the trial of wh'ch was began on Friday, was resumed and continued this morning. Katzmejer and the defendant, it appeared, were occupants of the same house, the defendant being a tenant of his. He had stolen from him, according to his testi mony, the above-mentioned sum of money. , It was taken from his room. He made com plaint before an Alderman, who issued a war rant, upon which the defendant was arrested and In her possession was found $155. The de fendnnt was able to account to the satisfaction of the Alderman for the possession of the money, and he discharged him from custody, and dismissed the complaint. Subsequently, however, she was re-arrested upon a warrant from Alderman Beitler, who bound her oyer for trial. 0 , The defendant denied the larceny-and alleged that the money found in his possession was the earnings of her husband, now deceased, which tact was within the knowledge of the proaecu trix when he made the charge against her, and was well known also to numerous others of her friends and acquaintances. She called a number of witnesses in sudport of her alienation, and it was proven by them beyond doubt that she was in possesion of the money found lone before the alleged larceny. Excellent good character a as also t-hown.

Verdict accordinely. Charles Berestord was convicted of the lar ceny of a cont worth ten dollars, tbe property of Sir. Yaue. Tbe coat was stolen .from Front and Dock streets, and was found in possession of the defendant. Dibrrict Court No. 1 Judfre Stroud. Wil liam Chapman vs. William II. West aud Darling ton P. Brown.
