OILING A VENTRILOQULST.-A physician
',Says that as he was going down the Missis
sippi, some years since, on a steamer whose
-engine was upon the deck, he sauntered in
that vicinity to see the working of the ma
ohinery. Near by stood a man apparently
bent upon the same object. In a few mo
ments a squeaking noise was heard on the
opposite side of the engine. Seizing the
oil-can (a gigantic one, by the way), the
-engineer sought out the dry spot, and to
prevent farther noise of that kind, liberally
applied the contents of his can to every
_ joint. All went well for a while, when the
squeaking was heard in another direction.
'The oiling process was repeated and quiet
restored; but as •the engineer was coming
-quietly around toward the spot occupied by
- the Doctor and the stranger, he heard
-another. squeak. This time he detected the
• true cause of the difficulty. The stranger
was a ventriloquist. Walking
. directly up.
- behind him, he seized the astonishedjoker
by the back of the neck, and emptied the
- contents of the can down his spine. "There!"
- said he, "l don't believe that old engine will
squeak again."
AN OLD CLOCk. —A. descendant of one of
the oldest families in Leicester is in posses
sion of a clock which has been in the family
ever since the - first settlement of the town in
1717. It being still in its prime as a time
keeper, and an elegant piece of furniture, it
:is not strange that it should be in demand
by other members of the family. A few
- days since a wealthy relative offered the
owner one hundred dollars for it, which was
its original cost in London. He was told
- that if he would add six per cent. compound
interest since its purchase he might have it.
-On computing the sum it was found to be
over eight hundred thousand dollars.—

Arrival of the City of
Boston.
THE FENIAN MOVEMENT IN
IRELAND,.
The Times on Mr. Banoroft's Oration.
The steamship City of Boston, from Liver
pool Feb. 28th and 'Queenstown March Ist,
arrived at New York on Sunday,
The steamer Queen sailed on the 28th for
New York. The Africa arrived at Liver
pool on the 26th, and the City of Washing
ton at Queenstown on the 28th.
The Times, after expatiating on the want
of unanimity in the Russell cabinet, says it
is not surprised at the rumor that Russell
has asked the Queen to relieve him of his
duties.
The Times admits that the rumor wants
authenticating, but discusses it as if a fact,
and supposes that a new Liberal cabinet
will be formed, and suggests the Duke of
Somerset as the probable head. The Irish
question was discussed in the House of
Lords. No other journal says anything on
the subject. Earl Grey gave notice that he
would move at an early day for a full con
sideration of the subject.
The Pall Mall Gazette had given currency
to a report that Queen Victoria was sick,
but the Daily Telegraph asserts that the re
port was without inundation.
Sir Charles Phipps, Keeper of the Queen's
Privy Purse and her Private Secretary, is
dead.
The Paris Memorial Diplomatique says
the mission of Baron Saillard to Mexico is
a mere starting point for negotiation in the
withdrawal of the French troops. The re
port that 5,000 men will return in May
is at least very premature. If the French
expedition had ended in 1865 it would have
cost £27,000,000 and 11,000 men killed and
disabled.
The London Star has reason to know that
the relations of Austria and Prussia rela
tive to the Duchies are very critical,and even
hints at a possible war.
The American Minister had a grand
banquet at the Marine Club at Cronstadt,
when fraternal sentiments were inter
changed.
The forced abduction of Prince Couza is
confirmed. The Count of Flanders was of
fered but declined the hospodarship. It is
supposed a European Conference will be
held on the subject.
The government had received a telegram
in twenty-one hours from India, an
nouncing the settlement of the Bhootan
affair.

[Correspondence of the London Thaes.l
DUBLIN, Feb. 26.- 7 0 n. Saturday, six more
soldiers, William Price, Daniel Lyons; and
William Curry, private soldiers, belonging
to the 87th regiment, James Hughes, 75th
regiment; and Daniel Kinchela,caias James
Kelly, Royal Artillery, all on furlough in
this city, were arrested on a charge of hav
ing deserted from their regiments, and
joined the Fenian Brotherhood. Subse
quently to the arrests, the police having re
ceived information that some of the persons
arrested as civilians at Pilsworth's public
house in James's street were soldiers in dis
guise, they proceeded to the prison in which
they are confined, and discovered that the
men who had given their names as Thomas
O'Brien and William Thompson were in
reality two deserters from the sth Dragoon
Guards, named James Wilson and Martin
Haynes. The police also arrested a man
named James McGrath at the North-wall
on Saturday, on a charge of Fenianism.
The men Cullen, Lawlor, Lyons and
Byrne, recently arrested in Townsend street,
under the suspension of the habeas corpus,
were conveyed on Saturday night, under a
strong escort of police, from the College
street Station to Mountjoy Prison. The
prisoners confined in Chancery lane Station
have not yet been removed.
An important arrest has been made in the
county Carlow. The Express correspondent
says:
"After several months' searching,by night
and day, John Morris, the famous Head
Centre for Carlow, was arrested this morn
ing at the house of his uncle, Ned Nolan, a
farmer residing at Kilmaglas, near Myshal.
By the arrest of this outlaw the Fenian
cause in this part of the country has got a very
serious check, as there is reason to suppose
that he was one of the most active agents
engaged in the treasonable conspiracy."
£lOO reward had been offered for his ap
prehension. The arrest was very cleverly
effected.
At Ballinasloe, yesterday morning, the
same journal reports:
"Shortly after two o'clock, Sub-inspector ,
Sweeney, accompanied by Head-constable
Ellis, and a party of constabulary, proceeded
to make a number of arrests. The parties
at the time were in their beds, and nore
sistance was made. Their names were:—
John Martin, butcher. Michael Clarke;
stonemason, just returned from America;
John Eustace, baker; and Timothy Conner,
shoemaker, late agent for the Irish People.
The parties were brought to the police bar
racks, where our active resident magistrate,
Mr. John M. Hatchell, was in waiting, and
they were soon transmitted to Bridewell,
where they remain at present with two sub
constables on sentry. The loyal, people of
this town on proceeding to their various
places of worship were greatly annoyed to
hear of the arrests, though most of them
expected such a result. It is expected that
more arrests will speedily be made, and
that disclosures will be made involving par
ties entirely unsuspected. The country in
the meanwhile remains in a disquieted
state, and the general-desire is that troops
should be sent here and to Loughrea. The
local paper, the Western Star, has several
times called on the executive to send even a
couple of companies here, but we are still
left to the protection of the police."
Accounts from Limerick state that some
.Fenians were brought in by train from the
country on Saturday and confined in the
same prison with all the other suspected
Fenians taken up during the week under
the suspended Habeas Corpus Act. One of
the prisoners is named Wall, schoolmaster
of Kilmallock workhouse; a second, Mr.
Thomas Hartnet, an independent farmer,
from near Newcastle west; and the third,
Mr. Michael Condon, also a respectable
farmer from the same neighborhood. On
passing through the streets to the pris6n,
much sympathy was expressed for them by
the crowds who congregated at all public
thoroughfares to see them.
'A respectable young man from Rathcoole,
arrested yesterday under the same Act, was
also brought in and committedto the county
goal. It is said that great influence has

been used to admit some of the parties to
bail. The Board of military officers, which
has been sitting here for the last fortnight
by adjournments, have not yet concluded
their labors. Some civilian witnesses have
given theirevidence in such a vague way
as to _cause order after order to be issued for
"further inquiries," and this has prolonged
the sitting. It is now said that the testi
mony taken down by the Court will involve
other non-commissioned officers besides the
four under arrest. A young man named
Dwyer was arrested th's evening on suspi
cion of being Geary, who fired at the head
constable in Rathkeale, but was discharY,,ed.
The trial of Sergeant Darragh, at Cork, had
not concluded 'on Saturday.
MONDAY EvENniu.—This morning the
Orderly officers and sergeant-majors in the
Dublin garrison inspected the Fenian pris
oners, and identified five, arrested in civi -
ian othes, as deserters from their regi
ments in England. They were delivered
handcuffed to the military authorities.
Three publicans and another man were
arrested this morning at Sligo.
Sergeant Campbell, of the Antrim militia,
and two other men, were arrested to-day in
Belfast; also a man named Murphy, in Cork,
end another at Kinsale.
On Saturday upwards of 80 members 'of
the Stephen's-green Club entertained the
Chief Secretary for Ireland at a banquet.
This entertainment was intended as a
marked compliment to Mr. Fortescue prior
to his departure from Ireland for his official
duties in London.

The London Times on Mr. Bancroft.
[From the Times of Feb. I'M.]
The other day it was proposed to one of
our old Universities that a series of pro
fessional or literary gentlemen from Ame
rica should be invited by the endowment of
a special lectureship to visit England and
address orations to the undergraduates on
American subjects. The majority of the
Senate, however, considered wisely, as we
think, that there may be found among the
members of the University itself, men ca
pable of acquiring a sufficient knowledge of
foreign countries to give the students
any instruction they may need, and the
offer was consequently declined. If any
proof of the wisdom of this decision were
necessary, it might be found in an incident
related in our American correspondence to
day. Such an oration has just been de
livered by exactly such a man as a New
England University would be likely to se
lect; and, so far from its effect having been
to produce amity and good will between
the two countries, it is plain that the
speaker took the opportunity to utter, and a
part of the audience to applaud, everything
that could offend the pride and rouse the in
• lignation of England.
it appears that the 12th of February being
the anniversary of the late President Lin
coln's birth, it occurred to some of the party
which he represented that it would be fit
ting to deliver a formal eulogy upon him in
the presence of the American Executive
and Legislature, the Diplomatic Body, and,
in short, the whole political world of Wash
ington. The duty was undertaken by Mr.
George Bancroft. This gentleman, as most
o:e our readers know, was some years since
Minister to England ; he is advanced in
years ; he has had the best opportunities of
forming sound opinions, and chastening the
judgments of ignorant patriotism. He has
written history, and obtained a respectable
literary reputation. He may thus be fairly
presumed to represent the more moderate
school of political oratory. The subject
also was a solemn one, being the life
and death of one who has rendered
great services to the country in ,its
highest office, and had been cut off by the
hand of an assassin less than a year ago.
Both the man and the theme might lead a
foreign auditor to suppose that he was about
to listen to a well-weighed and temperate
address. There was much preparation for
the ceremony, which took the character of
a national demonstration. The oration was
delivered in the House of Representatives;
the President, his Cabinet, and the Judges
of the Supreme Court attended, and the
Foreign Ministers were also present by in
vitation to do honor to the late President of
the United States. The British Le g ation,
we may presume, attended in good faith,
and with no idea that England was to be
attacked in a 'regular Fourth of July ora
tion. But before the hour of delivery came
it was evident that England, and in
some degree France, were to receive
the castigation due to their many sins,
and to be regaled through their repre
sentatives with a full display of their little
ness and the surpassing excellence of the
great Republic. The oration of the day had
been printed, and before the speaker came
to the most trenchant parts of his philippic
they had been pointed out to those who were
especially interested in them. The French
Minister happened to stay away; but his
Secretaries were present, and did not care to
conceal their disgust. Si Frederic Bruce
and the British diplomatic staff sat it out
with the usual impassiveness of their race.
The oration was worthy of Elijah Pogram.
The British Lion might fairly be expeCted
to "put his tail between his legs and howl
with anguish." The staple of the harangue
was abuse of England and its institutions
What the tenure of land in Great Britain

parisonbetween Lord Palmerston. who for
upwards of 50 years was concerned in all the
chief affairs of Europe and America, and
President,, Lincoln, who happened to hold
office during, four years in a domestic war.
But these matters were dragged in that the
veaker might have an opportunity to rail
at and vilify the country whose language he
was speaking and whose authors he had in
tormer times done his best to imitate. The
taste which could invite an English minister
and his staff in order to inflict upon them a
coarse invective needs no remark. We can
well understand - that there were many
among the Americans themselves whowere
shocked, at, the indecency, but we can as
little doubt what we are told—that the bit
terest passages - in . Mr. Bancroft's address
were the most warmly greeted by that polite
assemblage.
Mr. Bancroft probably knows enough of
England to be aware that these harangues
have little effect on this side of the ocean.
We shall even proceed to the discussion of
the coming reform bill unaffected by his
doclaration that it is to "bury the dead,"
"to remove the worn-out Government of a
class," and "to confide rightful power to the
people." It is not the effect here, but the
effect in America, that is of importance. Can
this mischievous old man believe that any
purpose can be served by slandering two
such countries as England and France in the
presence of their representatives? The
Americans know their own rights, and are
sufficiently watchful in maintaining them;
theydo not require to be continually hounded
on against us,
nor will it tend
to the enlightened conduct of public affairs
if they are made to believe that England is
a country where the mass of the people is
powerless and oppressed. It is to such de
clamations as these that we owe the arrival
of a few score Fenian adventurers in Ireland,
fully believing that they and their New
York friends can overthrow the rule of the
strongest, most resolute, and most wealthy
Government in the world. The Irish emi
grants are so accustomed to hear the old
country is effete, that they really fancy they
have nothing to do but to return home, get
up a popular rising, and take possession of
the land after the extirpation of the aristo
ci ats. Such misrepresentations might be
properly left to a lower class of politicians;
they do not deserve to be countenanced by
one who claims the high titles of historian
and diplomatist.

Large Quantities of Arms and Uni-
forms Accumulated.
PREEARATIONS FOR A RAID.
Rumored Departure of a Fenian Regi
ment from Baltimore, &c.
Cerrespondenoe of the New York World.]
ALBANY, March 11.—I have just received
some very important news through private
and reliable sources from Burlington,
throwing considerable light on the move
ments of the Fenians in that vicinity. Uni
forms for fifteen thousand men, and two
thousand rifles of the very best pattern, have
been transported quietly during the last ten
days from New York city and from Troy to
Burlington, Vermont, where they now re
main concealed, awaiting—the advance of
the Fenian host. It is more than possible
that these arms will see the light on St.
Patrick's day, when there is to be a grand
demonstration of some kind made by the
Irish population in that locality.
Arms in abundance are said to be
stored at Detroit, Sandusky, Buffalo,
Ogdensburg, Plattsburg and Montpelier.
Three companies of Fenian volunteers have
been organized in Burlington for service in
Canada. An old officer, who has seen ser
vice in Mexico, has command of the battal
ion. The Vermont Fenians have received
trustworthy intelligence from Montreal
that there was a secret meeting of the lead
ers of the movement in that city, last Friday
night, in a building not a hundred yards
from the Bonsecours market, in which it was
resolved to give every aid possible to the
invaders. Out of the 85,000 mem
bers of that order in Canada, it is stated
that 25,000 will take up arms as soon as
as Sweeny's advance reaches Canadian
soil. Many of the Southern officers who
have been residing in Canada for the last
two years, have gone to New York for the
purpose of offering their services and assist
ance to Gen. Sweeny. The Isle St. Helene,
on the St. Lawrence river, opposite Mon
treal, a military post which is a key to the
defence of the city, is being put in a thor
ough state of defence, and no civilian is al
lowed to visit the forts under any pretence
whatever,
Rumors of the Departure of a Fenian
Regiment from Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, March 11.—There arerumors

The Search for Fenian Arms and Docu-
ments.
TORONTO, C. W., March 10.—The gov
ernment's call for volunteers is being re
sponded to with the utmost alacrity and en
thusiasm. A circular published by the
Customs Department specially instructs of
ficers to thoroughly search all the baggage
of passengers coming into the Province, and
detain all arms, weapons. and
munitions of war found, or
otherwise brought in or worn by
passengers, who may be required to
give their names and connection, with a list
of arms, etc., taken from them. Express
goods are to be compared with their mani
fests, and packages may, with reasonable
suspicion, be opened. Freight trains are to
be carefully examined,. and no package not
mentioned in the manifest will be allowed
to pass. The cars are to be securely locked
or sealed before they pass the frontier. The
greatest vigilance is expected from the offi
cers in seeing that the piohibition against
arms is enforced. The Departments have
also issued another circular to collec
tors, stating that it is considered that the
abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty will
have the effect of reviving any pre-existing
customs duties attached to imports into
Canada of the present list of free goods,
Which are to continue to be admitted free
from any part of the world until the Legis
lature deems it advisable to reimpose duties
thereupon, with the exception of dried
fruits, the growth of the United States, fur
skins, pelts, and tails undressed, when im
ported directly from the States, which will.
after March 17, be liable to a duty of twenty
per Fem.

We trust there is no man here liable to
service that will not cheerfully obey the
summons; and that there is no employer
who will refuse those under his control
permission to take their place in the ranks.
The men will be under pay from the date
they are called out.
It is earnestly to be hoped that every man
of the volunteer militia who does not wil
lingly obey the call to arms at the present
time (should there be any such), and every
employer who directly or indirectly places
any obstacle in the way of his employes do
ing their duty, will be publicly exposed.
In the midst of the preparations now
making to resist any enemy that may as
sail Canada, let those disposed to indulge
in panic, bear in mind that preparation is
the best prevention of invasion or assault.
When, it is known that Canada is in arms
and prepared to meet the foe, the Fenian
brigands will suddenly lose their appetite
for an enterprise, the only inducement to
c. hich was the supposed safe indulgence in
pillage and murder.
Let the government be equal to the occa
sion, and let the people support it as they
ought to do, and the Yankee scoundrels
who propose to pillage Canada under the
pretence of founding an Irish Republic,will
immediately discover that important stra
tegic difficulties have been overlooked and
will seek their spoil in some less dangerous
neighborhood.
Terrible Threats Against the 'United
States Government.
[From the Montreal Trans , ript, March 8.1
Our readers are beginning to realize the
fact that a bubble may contain a deadly
gas, which no prudent parent wonid wil
lingly allow to explode among his children.
That Fenianism will ultimately prove to be
a bubble of the largest size few sane men
entertain any doubt. Its harmlessness is
another question; but our Government has
information that it will not be harmless.
We speak the feelings of the people of
Canada, when we say that they will not
only be sustained in using proper precau
tionary measures, but they will be incur
ring a fearful responsibility if they fail
to do so. Far better for them to be
laughed at for an excessive credulity than
be mocked and condemned for imbecility.
The American press, which to-day affects
to chuckle at the "Canadian scare," would
to-morrow rejoice more gleefully over the
success of the Fenians, if by any means,
they should succeed even for an hour in
hoisting the "green flag" above the royal
standard in any city in Canada. To prove
the correctness of this assertion facts are not
wanting. We can all remember the howl of
indignation raised against us through the
then Federal States when some 20 men, who
had kept their designs a profound secret
( boar ding,w hile on our side of the line, chiefly
in houses kept by persons of American
origin ), crossed over to St. Albans and
robbed the bank. In all questions of )ILCIGIII
et taunt the American feeling is exceed
ingly sensitive, but very much one-sided.
But they had better beware. Many a throat
has been cut with the razor intended to
stave. Our friendly neighbors cannot
plead ignorance of the fact that thousands
of men meet day after day in their princi
pal cities, and openly proclaim their hostile
intentions against Canada. And, although
this has been going on for months, not one
syllable of official interdiction or rebuke
has been breathed against it. On the con
trary we are told that the whole thing is too
farcical to justify the interference of the
government. And, as a matter of course,
should mischief ensue, a proclamation will
be iseuedl forbidding the evil that has been
worked. What we have to consider at pre
sent is, how we are to act in the premises?
The answer to this question resolves itself
into two parts, viz.: our relative and per
sonal duty. We must stand by the govern
ment, act with them, and uphold them in
every possible way. And every citizen
must be fully prepared to defend his life and
property.
• THE ARLINGTON ESTATE.—The Superin
tendent of Freedmen's Village has been in
structed by Major General 0. 0. Howard to
divide the Arlington estate into five acre
lots, to be rented on written agreements, to
the freedmen, the rent to be paid at each
harvesting of ! the crops. Fifteen acres on
the west side of the road are assigned to be
divided and rented in the same manner;
about 20 acres to be used as a garden, by
the dependents of the Freedmen's village.
This estate is not confiscated property, and
therefore cannot revert to the heirs at the
death of the owners; but it was sold for
taxes, and purchased by the government
for the purposes to which it is now being
applied.

received a bounty of four hundred dollars,

killed or died in the service, but Miss S. in
stead of retaining the money in a selfish

[From to-day's N. Y. Tribune.l
During the latter part of the past week •
(the exact time has not yet been ascertained)
two tin boxes, containing United states 5-20,
10-40 and 7-30 Bonds, and Railroad seouri
ties, altogether of the value• of over er1,500,-
000, were stolen from the safe in the• office
of Mr. Rufus L. Lord, real estate owner and
broker, No. 38, Exchange Place. How the:
theft was effected is not stated. Therowner,' •
Mr. Lord, is over eighty years-of age, very
infirm and forgetfai, and it is more- titian
probable that some thief or thieves, con
versant with these facts, were secreted in
the office, and embraced the first opportu- -
nity to seize the prize, and escaped un
noticed.
At the time of the robbery the list of the
stolen bonds was but imperfectly known
but a careful search through the books e
the establishment has resulted in ascertain
ing the numbers. and ,description of all the
missing property.
The amount stolen is as follows:
95 7-30 coupon bonds, of $5,000 each; due
Feb. 15, 1866, amounting to $475,000.

1865.

2 Chicago and Northwestern bonds of
$2OO each.
1 Chicago and Northwestern income bond,
of $lOO.
7 Chicago and Northwestern Railroad in
terest bonds, of $l,OOO each.
It is impossible that so large an amount of
bonds should be at once thrown upon the
community without exciting a suspicion
and ultimately leading to the detection of
the:thief or thieves, and in addition the fact
of the robbery and a full description of the
bonds has been so extensively advertised
that business men throughout the country
will be placed upon their guard and pre
vented from buying them if offered for sale.
A reward of $200,000 has been offered by
Mr. Lord for the recovery of the property
and the conviction of the thieves. Captain
John S. Young, with some of his most trust
ed detectives, have the matter in hand, and
they are exerting themselves to the utmost
to discover the guilty parties.
Mr. Lord is one 'of the oldest and best
known real estate owners and brokers in
the city. He owns the entire block bound
ed by Beaver and William streets, and
Exchange place, and other property to a

getfulness, it is stated that some time since
he declared. that he had been robbed of
fifty thousand dollars worth of United
States sixes of 1881, but subsequent)
found them in a box, where he had mislaid
them.
The police, as is to be expected, are pecu

information on the subject.
