The Irving Rank Kiubitzzlrmdit-Arreit of ib Iefaultr and Kecovery of tbe Money Only 15,000 Involved. A rumor obtained considerable currency yes terday iu monetary circles, to the eflect that the lr lug Bank, comer oi Warren and Greenwich streets, hud suffered heavily by embezzlement Upon Investigation we learned, from undoubted authority, that the sura amounted merely to $4.r,000, one-halt ol whtch hits been already re covered, and the friends ol the embezzler have plven bonds lor the remainder. A young man, one of i he bookkeepers of the bank, and son of a prominent clergyman of this city, whoe name, we withhold iroiii motives of delicacy, has been arrested and imprisoned. He admits his guilt, says he forced his balance-sheet to make up the deficit, and has returned a part of the money. It will thus be seen tliat the bank will lose nothing whatever, and its business will not be embarrassed m the leat by the atlair, which, by the way, only iniures those engaged in it. It is simply another illustration ol the debasing influ ences of intemperance and demoralizing associa tions. We would have been glatl to be silent in regard to the matter, but the rumor of the street were so much worse than the reality that we leel Induced, for the purpose of allaying the distrust aroused yesterday by the whispered report, to place the facts authentically before our readers. The guilty party will perhaps be brought before a proper tribunal, until which time any lurther history of his crime may safely be postponed. 2f. Y. Tribune. Seizure of Fenian Arms. From the Montreal Gazette, May 28. The United States Customs officers seizad at House's Point 1'iHll night. They had come oy the Lake Champlain boat, in cases marked "machinery" for Ogdons burgh. The cases looked a litt'e suspicious, and one of them was opened. The oflicere tele graped to Washington tor instructions, and th? answer was to seize the arms and prevent their being forwarded. They were claimed by some FeniantJCentre from the vicinity of Ogdensburen, but they were detained by the United States authorities. Aa. we write they are lying in the station house, and might be captured by force. But the Fenians will scarcely venture io play that game against the United States Govern ment. This movement of arms, coupled with recent proceedings, would seem to indicate that the Fenians had not altogether abandoned their mad designs on the Provinces. There is yet reason to watch aga net raid, and especially at tuch a point as the railroad from Laae Cham plain. Gen. Logan Declines Running lor Congress. from the Viiquoin (1U.) Recorder.

Important from Mexico The Sta'e Department has received some late and very Important news from Mexioo, the latoat dates from tho Mexican capital bolng of the 12th instant. Everything indicated the stability and permanence of Ihe present Government of Mexioo All the Gov ernment work! were being prosecuted with vigor Money was abundant. Mulo trains laden with specie now tiavel on all tho roads with safety, bix millions of dollars in gold and silver had arrived at Mexico from distant points between the 8d and 19th ol May. The gold and silver coinage of tlie Mexican Mint for tbo month of April was noarly half a million of dollars. Tho gradual departure of the French troops will cause no change in the condition of atlairs. Ample arrangements are mace for an efficient mill taiy lorce. Ihe Juarists hav recontly suffered seve ral severe defeats, in.tead of going to Chihuahua, as benor Romoro announced a month or two ago, J ii are i has remained at El l'uso. Chihuahua Is oo cnpied by a strong forco of French troops. Tne statements that appear in some of the papers that Maximilian is preparing to leave Mexico are utterly without foundation. It is the opinion of tbose per sons here who are best informed on the subjoct, that even a general European war wauld not aff'ct the stability oi the Mexican emplro, and a European war is regarded as by no means certain.
