AR RI SON; and Whereas The relation which be sustained to it in that capacity for so long a period makes it proper that we should express our sense of his worth and our sor- Sow at his removal; therefore, 'Reso/ved, That in the death of Mr. Arisen, this Pi} clety has been deprived of the valued services of a tfaithlul Christian man, who, for a long period of time. bad identified himself with its interests and labored - Indefatigably in its behalf. Besolved, That "The Home Mission ary Society of the City of Philalielphia" owes much of the sc mess in its work for the relief of human want and destitution to the untiring labors of Mr. Arr.son, and tbi ; fact, to which it now bears a cheerful testimony, is confirmed by many to whom, in their ba• ur of sorrow and need, our departed brother dispensed that practical charity which is the spirit of the Gospel of Christ. Reso/ved, That. whileit Is our mournful privilege to testify to the efficient faith Miness and the private Christian cbai acter of our departed friend., it is cheer ing to kni.w that, released from the cares and duties of time, h has entered upon the rest and rewards of eter- Aeso/red.

Feb. 24, 1866. fe26•lmrpp The Brooklyn Union , reporting the Fen ian meeting held in that city on Wednes day, remarks that "Col. John O'Mahony was greeted with a defeaning welcome, as though "All the fiends that ever 'fell Had pealed the banner•cry of hell." Was this intended to be personal? A Down-East paper has the following local: "A child was run over by a wagon three yeaxs old and cross-eyed with panta loons on which never spoke afterwards." A church at Bunker Hill, 111., was the scene, last Stinday, of a hard fist fight be tween two young bucks, who disagreed concerning their claims to a certain pew. The presiding minister suspended his re mark% and quietly waited till the affray was over. Pew-gilism extraordinary. The N. Y. Express says: "It is estimated at the Fenian headquarters to-day that nearly a million men are ready to move for the liberation of Ireland upon orders to march." Why don't the 0 1 M. give the order? Their Idees of March will soon be past. Gen. Josh. Owen thinks that if the National Debt is a public blessing, he ought to be very popular, considered as a General 0 win'. The Emperor Napoleon has been direct ing his attention to the system of common school education in England. Two com missioners have recently visited Harrow and examine narrowly into its system of instruction, &c. They report that the 'Ar row systepi is admirably adapted for teach ing the idea how to shoot. At the bat costume which took place at. the Tuilleries on Feb. Bth, a quadrille was danced in which the gentleman were dreesed as leopards and the ladies as gaz elles. Easily done. The gentlemen werA spotted by the police, and the ladies were' little dears. Lord Brougham has formed a brigade of crossing-sweepers, to be composed of boys (paupers), who are to wear a uniform, be positively forbidden to beg, and compelled to lay aside a portion of their earnings for a lama against sickness or destitution of their number. His Lordship, thihks that the boys' weeping will excite sympathy enough without begging. , DISSATISFIED TEOOFS.—The dissatisfac tion of many white regiments still kept in the service is well known and occasionally • this disaffection takes tangible sNipe. The 13th Connecticut, retained in service at Sa vannah, claim their term of enlistment to have been more than fulfilled, and great irritation among officers and men results. The 38th Illinois is in the same predica ment, and in the House to-day, the Secre-! tary of War was called-upon to state why: _that regiment is still detained at Browns-: ville, Texas.—Tignme. Wash. Cor. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 10,1866: ROEBUCK ON DEFEATED REBELS. Mr. Roebuck has been making a speech in the British Parliament in which he took occasion to give the Con federates, the following first-class notice: "A great and gallant people, making a stand for what they thought their rights, bad suffered cruelly. Things have been done in America that would have disgraced Tiny and Wallenstein; and now the British Government was called upon to take steps Which would bring disgrace on that gallant people. His sympathies were in favor of the Southern States. The Federal- army was made up of a body very much like Dugald Dalgettys; they had conquered, and be wished them joy of their cowl nest; but Americans were not a united people, and he hoped they would not be." We likethe outspokenness of Roebuck. We have: no objections whatever to his hating the friends of the Federal Union, and we particularly admire his frank ness in bluntly declaring that lie hoped the Americans wohldnot be an united people. If he should chance to come this way in the course of his travels, we think we can promise Mr. Roebuck an honorary membership in the Demo cratic Club, and an opportunity of mix ing in _the "unmixed society" of the worthy grandson of an equally worthy grandsire, who (the grandson) publicly toasted Jeff. Davis the other day, and of another high priest among Copperheads, who could not even pay a gas-bill without making it the occasion for the venting of venomous treason ,and vindictive spite. Mr. Roebuck should come to the United States by all means and receive the cordial greeting of the 4-11-44 patriot of the New York Daily Sews; the benisons of the "Dis tinguished (stern) gentleman who lan guishes in Fortress Monroe;" the con gratulations of our own local special ad mirer of the "Stern Statesman,"and last, but by no means least, in coppery in tensity, the distinguished patriot who so freely mingles gas with his politics and politics with his gas. EXTENSIVE AUCTION SALE.—We observe in the Messrs. Thomas's regular weekly catalogue this day issued, in addition to the immense lists of real estate and other pro perty, large amounts of valuable Bank, Insurance and other stocks, well worthy the attention of persons seeking investments. This firm have recently added very much to their business in this branch, and their sales attract a large number of buyers. Ad ditional stocks can be added to the list as late as 12 o'clock on Tuesday. Every branch of business of this firm is conducted in the most complete manner. GERMAN OPERA.—The opera of The Hu guenots was played at the Academy last evening before a vast audience. The solo parts were generally well done; Mmes. Rotter and Naddi, and Messrs. Hermann, Himmer and Wilhelm Formes especially distinguishing themselves. But the chorus has so dwindled down that the ensemble pieces were very ineffective. Imagine the Rataplan sung by seven men! The number of women in the chorus has fallen off in the same ratio. The company give a final per formance this afternoon, the opera being , Ytrcidella,by Flotow. PORTRAIT OF GENERAL GEARY.—Messrs. Henszey Lt. Co., 812 Arch street, have just published a superb photographic likeness of the nest Governor of Pennsylvania. The picture is a most speaking counterpart of this distinguished soldier, lend the publishers I.ave made arrangements, as a contribution to the good cause, to furnish it to honorably discharged soldiers at cost s which will secure for it a wide distribution,.and at the same time aid many of our brave soldiers in their efforts to make an honest living. MADAME VANZENI, the daughter of our excellent townsman, Signor Blitz, is filling a most brilliant engagement in the opera at Copenhagen, which has been so successful that it is extended to the Ist of April. The King and court have been especially generous in her support,and on the occasion of her benefit, His Majesty sent her a gift of two hundred dollars. Madame Vanzini is a native of this country, and received her musical education here. I PROFESSOR BAILEY'S READlNGS.—Pro fessor Mark Bailey, of Yale College, a very distinguished elocutionist, will give a series of Readings, from a variety of standard authors, on Tuesday evening next, at Con cert Hall. Professor Bailey enjoys so marked a reputation in the department of rhetoric and elocution that an intellectual treat of a very high order may be expected. PHILADELPHIA, WILMINGTON AND BAL TIMORE RAILROAD.—We call •attention to the advertisement setting forth the time of the departure of the trains on the Philadel phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad. The new schedule will date from Monday next. MR. DEMPSTER'S BALLAD ENTERT.AIN 4 3IENT, at the Musical Fund Hall, this evening, will not be forgotten by his nu merous friends and admirers.

At the Chestnut a part Of the bill which drew so line a house for Mordaunt'a benefit will be repeated, namely, "Ireland as it Was," with Mr. and Mrs. Mor daunt in the cast.

At the American the bill is quite long , varied and popular • this evening. : At National Hall the OW Folks are still. ; flourishing Like a glove of green bay trees. At Assem bly Building Signor Blitz and "The Sphynx" still hold mysterious converse. We call particular attention to - the advertisement in reference to the benefit of Cern cross. Dicey & Simpson at the Academy of Music on Monday evening. The correspondence is interesting and is highly cretlltable to all concerned. The benefit will be truly a grand edhir. and tickets should be se- Cored at the earliest possible moment. i • " : 1 ti &CO Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will immediately accede to a Confederation with the Canadian Provinces, and a common twill will be enacted, to include Newfound land, and perhaps Price Edward's Island. English gunboats have been ordered to the fishing grounds, in view of the abroga tion of the Reciprocity Treaty. These facts show that we are not quite so dormant as you Yankees believe. It may be that Canada will be swept away by a grand coup de mai-n, but not by the dema gogues who engineer your so-called Fenian movement. MONTREAL, Friday,March 9,—The excite ment so suddenly sprung upon us yesterday by the Government's call for ten thousand volunteers, is not perceptibly abated. You mercurial Americans, who explode at the mere supposition of a great event, do not appreciate our coolness. We must have the very tip-top of excitement before our slug gish blood can be stirred, but when it is stirred it is not easily cooled. • Since my advices to you yesterday— whieh, by the way, I undertake to guess were the only real facts concerning the Great Fight that reached the'New York papers— no very significant event has occurred. The agents of your American Associated Press will read you a synopsis of the real and sup posed intelligence at their disposal, and I merely subjoin their dispatches,- without vouching for anything. In this city there is a peculiar state of feeling. As I said yesterday, but a small portion of our population would, under any circumstances, side with the Fenian move ment. Consonant with the action of your Roman Catholic hierarchy,• the magnates of the Church in these Provinces have set their faces against the movement and some of them have spoken very freely in opposition. I hear that the Archbishop of Quebec, the actual head of the Church in all British merica, will probably very soon express nis condemnation of the Fenian movement. His Grace may readily be excused from earlier attention to the matter, for it is scarcely possible that a dozen Fenians can be found in all Canada below this city. In this town the fever has some curious and ludicrous phases. The much-courted and petted secession refugees (while they bad money'. who are yet lingering here, and dismally longing for some general amnesty that may give them leave to revisit the scenes from which they so cowardly fled, are now looked upon with suspicion. The people who followed Gregory and Laird in eoc:dling these men, are suddenly consci enge-smitten, and find that the lovely inno cents of the was-to-be Southern Confederacy are elephants of huge proportions, whose sayings and doings for the past four years are returning with compound interest, and making this Canadian government but little better than that in London, so far as the tinted States are concerned. From various sources, some of not very trustworthy character, the follo wing rumors are gathered: TORONTO, C. W., Thursday, March 9. The crisis has arrived. All the Canadian Militia are being enrolled, and it is csx pected they will be called out immediately. Volunteers in companies and squads are rallying from all the back towns for the de fence of the frontier. Over two thousand volunteers arrived here last night and were billetill - on the citizens. The people are fully aroused and no man shirks duty, although a few have been arrested through a misconception of the order call ing them out. All the railways on the line of the frontier are keeping engines fired up to run off trains. It is estimated that 30,000 troops are now armed and ready to march, if invasion takes place. The authorities are sanguine of their ability to drive back and defend their homes against any Fenian invaders. All the troops have been drilling since two o'clock this morning. A full supply of ammunition has been issued to the troops, and the railway trains are made up and ready to move at a moment's notice to any point of attack. Many reports are current - and one, pretty generally credited, is that Parliament will be called to assem ble imraediately,and that the writ of habeas corpus will be suspended and martial law proclaimed before the 17th of March. The government has taken possession of the Montreal telegraph line. TORONTO Friday, March 9th, 31'. The Globe TORONTO, morning makes the annonce- ment that the Government has received in formation that on St. Patrick's Day a num ber of Fenians will' cross the river, join in the procession in the cities, and create some local disturbances to attract the attention of the military, while, the main force will strike THE OANADIAN FLURRY. PROGRESS OF THE FENIAN EX ' -CITEMENT. Rumors from the St. Lawrence Border. Terrible Reports About Fenian Armies. Movements of the Canadian Militia.&o. ICorrespondence of the New York Timm] GrrAwA, Cahada, Friday, March 9.—Up herein the woods we begin to feel the tea pot tempest that seems to be disturbing your mercurial people. You already know that the Government has• ordered out a large force to defend, if need be, the New York and Michigan borders—that arms are glist ening in the pale March sun, and bright uniforms are astounding the urchins of all our great towns. The ice is our tender point. That once broken up, we do not fear invasion, but who knows when the hot-blooded Fenians of New York may pounce npori us by a night's march over the solid surface of these narrow rivers? It is certain that as soon as the ice breaks up, the Home Government will send large reinforcements to the stations from Quebec to Mackinaw, and every reasonable precau tion will be taken to repel assault. The Government buildings and all the banks in Ottawa have been placed under military guard at night. There has been a most enthusiastic response throughout Ca nada to the call for volunteers, and ten thousand men are already marching toward the frontier. Parliament has been called to meet on the 10th of April. It is a singular phase of national history, that while the "United States Congress seems kindly disposed toward an extension of the Reciprocity Treaty, by which these Pro vinces have gained such immense advan tages, the Provincial authorities are raising men to repel an expected invasion from the States. at different points on the frontier. The Globe calls upon President' Johnson to interfere. It says: " The people of Canada_ are abundantly able to give the ruffians a warm reception, but it is a poor repayment to the Canadian Govern ment for its action during the. rebellion in the Southern States, to be riow compelled to spend monew and blood in resisting out rages planned in the States of the neighbor ing Republic. The city papers this morning contain two , columns of special dispatches from all parts of Canada, giving news of military preparations, from which it ap pears that every town' and city is turned out in full strength. Troops were arriving all last night from the interior towns, and were billeted on the citizens. Ten of them were billeted upon alleged Head Centre Murphy. As fast as the troops arrive they are organized into battalions. They are to be drilled five hours per day. To-day there a tarn out en m a xse of the citizens, to make a demonstra tion of strength. From the alacrity with which the call has been answered, it seems that annexation to the United States, and all other differences of opinion succumb to the danger of the hour. The excitement is hourly increasing. The troops are held in readiness for immediate embarka tion. Volunteers get twenty-five cents and rations per day. The Orange Watchman of to-day says that the Fenians of this city will walk on St. Patrick's day armed with pikes and revolvers, and it calls upon the Mayor to prevent their walking. It is be lieved that the influence of peace-loving Catholics will restrain the more violent men, and that the processions will be abandoned. The Watchman also asserts that Bishop Lynch has declared his intention of leaving Canada, to avoid the danger and responsi bility of a battle which may take place on the Irish National day. Within a few days past William H. Cannon, a youth of eighteen, lately in the employ of the Murray street firm of Jones, Smith & Sheppard, has been arrested on the charge of having drawn three thousand three hundred dollars from the Central National Bank, corner of Broadway and Pearl street, on two checks of his former employers, to which he had forged their signature. The presentation at the bank of a third alleged forged check for four thou sand dollars led to the arrest of two other youths of about Cannon's age, named James Mitchell and Alexander Gray, and a man named John Casey, a saloon keeper, on suspicion of connection with the forgery. An inquest was held yesterday in regard to the death of the unknown man whose dead body was found on Wednesday lying at the corner of Second avenue and One Hundredth street; but, although consider able testimony was taken, nothing was adduced to identify deceased or to indicate at whose bands he met his death, though that he was murdered is not doubted. Sew York Items. . (From to-dara New York Herald. I We understand that some twenty distil leries were seized in this city, yesterday, under instructions from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, at Washington. Hon. D. C. Whitman, the Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue, is here, and has charge of the whole matter. He is assisted by a strong corps of revenue and special agents, and it is expected that effective measures will be taken to stop the gigantic frauds which it is alleged are being perpetrated, and to punish those who are committing them. The new Health Board are rapidly or ganizing, and the enforcement of sanitary measures is daily producing the most salu tary effects.. Yesterday a number of com plaints were received, among which was one from Fort Plain, informing the authori ties that a number of young calves were regularly sent to the markets in this city, the meat of which was unfit for food.lThe Sanitary police at once proceeded to the Washington Market and seized forty or fifty of that description, which were dis posed of at the dumping ground. A report of proceedings will be found elsewhere in to-day's issue. An actitn brought by John A. Bigelow against Adolph Lachenmeyer, proprietor of the Lafttrge House, for loss of jewelry and money while stopping at the hotel in Sep tember, 1864, was tried yesterday in the Su preme Court, Circuit, - Part :3, before Judge Mason. .The jury brought in a verdict fur the plaintiff for five hundred and twenty five dollars. TORONTO, Friday, March ti—S P. M.—The excitement is unabated in the Province. Troops are still pouring in from the rural districts by hundreds. The moment they arrive they are organized into companies and squads for drill. So great has been the drain upon some of the large business houses in the city, that they have beenCOM pelled to suspend business during drill hours. -News from the frontier indicates no cause for the extraordinary movement, but the military authorities and the whole people approve the action of the Government in preparing for an emergency. Many assert that this hubbub is got up for political reasons, to unite the opposing factions to a sense of their danger, so that the annexa tionists may be silenced, and confederation carried next month in Parliament. The alarm being sounded so soon after the meet of the Governors in Montreal is significant, and the belief that the calling out of volun teers is for this purpose is hourly taking hold of the public mind. It is singular that no troops have been sent to the frontier, notwithstanding that all the military forces were called from beds yresterday morning at 2 o'clock. If this be the real object of the Government, it will probablybe successful, for all parties seem to have forgotten their political differences, and rally for united and determined defence. HAMILTON, C. W., Friday, March, 9. From eight to ten thousand volunteers'have responded to the call of the'Canadian gov ernment. The excitement is increasing and volunteers are constantly drilling, and hourly expect to be ordered to points on the frontier. Nothing definite is known as to the information in possession of the Gov ernment which prompted this action, but the wildest surmises are still indulged:The feeling throughout Western Canada runs very high, and displays a determination to oppose'any enemy. from whatever quarter he may. come. It is believed that the regu lars in 'Toronto, Hamilton and London are under orders, but no movements have yet taken place.

The Committee say that in view or the great number of competitors whose claims are so equally divided, they have found it a matter of difficulty to arrive at their deci sion, and would make an honorable men tion of the contributions of Seldan C.

Y.; Abram Wagner, Vernon, Ind.; Ezra D. Hilts,Stone Mills, N. Y., and Rufus L. Robinson, Frankfort, N. Y. The committee say that the leading pur pose, that of placing before the disabled men of the country incentives to a worthy ambition to become self-reliant, and to fit themselves for positions of honor and u:se• fulness has been accomplished in a manner altogether novel and original, and, as the committee thi k, with memorable atatt praiseworthy success. The average degree. of merit is high, while many of the mann soripts are very fine specimens of chirogra phic excellence and artistic taste. The ma jority of specimens are written in back slope, while a number are either vertical, or written in the usual farward slope of right handed penmen. The original amount of five hundred dol lars, offered by Wm. Oland Bourne, editor of the Soldiers' Friend, was increased by the United States Sanitary Commission, by the grant of two hundred and fifty dollars, to be distributed by the Committee in ad ditional awards for penmanship, which the" committee divided into two prizes of twenty five dollars,and ten prizes of twenty dollars each. To this amount the committee added another two hundred and fifty dollars, which was awarded in amounts correspond ing to the latter, as complimentary testi monials for literary merit. The collection of manuscripts will proba bly be open for the public in a short time for examination.—N. Y. World. TiMPITATIDN.S.
