New York, Deo. 20.
On Monday there were three arrivals of
steamships in this and tho adjacont ports, by
which vre have the latest occurrences in Europe
down to the 0th instant, a summary of which
will suffice for minute details. First a crown
ed head, although often a fool or a madman,
a kuave or a murderer of the deepest dye, ypt
still the death of such a oue always becomes a
subject of historical record, and hence we be
gin with the death of King Leopold of Belgium,
who died on the 0th instant, in his 75th year.
His history is too well known to command
further reference, and the questions now alloat
are, will Belgium becomes annexed to Franco ?
Speculation is wide on this subject, but the pre-
railing opinion is that Belgium and France are
too closely akin to bo divided, and that they
must become one. The Franco-Mexico im
broglio is creating considerable alarm amongst
the French people under the apprehension of a
breach of Iriondly relations between Franco
and the United Stales, and the presence of
General Seholield, the lieutenant of Shorman
in the late war, who is in Paris on a tour, is
regarded as something significant, which the
French people hope will terminate in amicable
results between France and the United States,
all other States and powers being wholly die-*
regarded. Spain still continues obstinate, and
shows fight on the Chilian difficulty, and the
affairs of Jamaica formed a subject of discus
sion in England not by any means favorable to
the existence of the Russell administration.
T he pirate ship 2Shcni*iidoab, which had left
Liverpool on her passage to New York, has
put back again from sea to Liverpool to take
in coal, as the story goes. There is only one
rlip from tho sublime to the ridiculous. After
treating of crowned heads and state of affairs
wc now come to an important item of news.
John Ilecnan, a better man than most crowned
heads, was entertained at dinner in London at
the Victotia Club, and a testimonial of a sub
stantial nature presented to him on his icturn
to his native country by the Cuba steamer,
which was due at Boston yesterday evening,
where it is hoped Ueenan arrived safely and
received tho congratulations of his friends.
The memorable Yelvcrton case, which filled
the world for a time with strange revelations of
love und matrimony, resulted in a new phas
by which a Scotch jury returned a verdict for
the defendants in an action for libel which Mrs.
Yelvcrton had sued against the proprietors of
the Saturday Review. The verdict was receiv
ed with a storm of hisses by a crowded court,
in reviewing tho question of English and Irish
affairs, tbc first question whioh presents itsolt for
retlootion is that ihe highest quarry which paltry
and abominable England can olutch for oppression
ate the editor and reporter, and sub-officials of a
suppressed nowspaper, the Irish Pooplo. With
Billy Keogh for Judge, and ono-fingerod Jack
Fitzgerald for his seoond, aided by paokqd and
pliant juries, O’Leary, an official on tho late Irish
People, was convicted and sentenced to twenty
yours penal servitude. Before sontonoe was
pronounced O’Leary said that “he owed no alle
giance to the Queen of England in Ireland, nor
any obedienco to British law or British power
there, and denounced as traitors to their country
ull those who assisted in the administration of the
neiariuus and alien laws perpetrated by England
on Ireland.” Joseph Moor4, a blacksmith, who
in the operation of his trade and business was
accused and convicted of tho crime of making
pikes, and sentenced to ten years' penal
servitude, and one Halligan,an bumble operative,
in employment at the offioe of the late Irish Peo
ple, whs on trial at latest aoeounts, and, of cuurao
thoro is no doubt of his oonviotlon. Altrod Ayi-
wtuti, the Conducting Clerk of Mr. George Bol.
tor;, Crown Solicitor for the fioqnty of Tipperary,
got him elf drunk, and whilst in that degraded
and benstly state tho deteotives made froe with
his pcckots, in which they discovered documents
sufficient to prove his complicity and guilt in the
Fenian Conspiracy, and forthwith he wus looked
up and taken oars of in one of the British pri
sons in Dub'in—and “ taeved right” Since tho
croupe of Stephens the vigilance of tfye govern
ment is said to be wide awake, whilst many of
their officials are laughing at their precautions.—
The officials ia Richmond Bridewell, having as
sisted Stephens, of whom there is nothing knowD,
in his escape, the Government would not truBt
them with the safe keeping of the other untried
brotherhood, and henoe in striot priracy and un
der a strong escort the prisoners were transferred
from Richmond prfsop |o the oounty jail of Kil-
trifiinbam, where there ate bretLen of the Fenian
organization as well M at Richmond on tho
canal. The London Times glorifies tho firmness
of the Irish government, and pre-sanotifies the
judges and juries in having effected oonviotions
against officials and operatives,some of tho small
e-t fry in the Fenian Brotherhood. The London
Army and Navy Gazette sounds a oall to arms, and
exhibit on paper 20,000 English soldiers in Ire
land, tho entire of whioh would not form
a breakfast for one day's notion with tho
Fenians if upitodantlin earnest for tho work.
Thoro is a further boast in tho same broad sheet
that the “Fleet” is ordered to winter off the
eoast of Ireland in order to be in readiness to
give a Fenian invasion frem America a noisy
reception. Why, inch a state of things Is as
bad in point of expenditure as an %ctual war,
and would harrass tho government and people
of England with a system of taxation for its
niaiDtainance as would cause John Bull to ory
“woe, woo that wc did not leave Ireland to
manage her own affairs"—and apropos to this :
the London Tiipeo is willing to giye up Canada
to tho Canadians, the Fenians, or tne United
Htatos, which ever may ohooie to take it,’ Tho
cattle plaguo all through England was on the
Increase, and the mortality and loss so enor
mxu that ganwil ruin bujkroptof iwaop
to be impending over tho country in that de
partment of raising produce on the land.
From a private source your correspondent has
it, upon reliable authority, that the English
prosecutions and persecutions lately instituted
and carried ont with snch unmiligable ma
lignity, have produced an accession of dis-
ntiection to English rule and an adhesion to
tho Fonian ranks in the ratio of one thousand
rebels for every conviction or every arrest so.

In tho Court of Genoral Sessions, Racket,
who wns tried for the murder of Green, was
convicted after a long and patient investiga
tion, the jury being unanimous in their verdict
of murder in the second degree. Tho crime
wns for stnbbing in September last, from whioh
Green died a few weeks since. Ward, who
murdered the Policeman Howard, in Septem
ber lust, was convicted of manslaughter in the
first degree.
A medical man in Brooklyn named Joseph
S. Walter, was tried and convicted of having
seduced a lady patient named Lucy Jones,
front .West Springfield, Massachusetts. Tho
jury recommended tho culprit to mercy, but
they did not stato the grounds upon which
huch a miscreant should receive the slightest
clemency. It appears from the evidence,
which is too bold for publication, that tho un
fortunate girl, who was most respectably con
nected and in virginal purity, while on a visit
with her brother in Brooklyn, had been in
duced to have the professional advise and
troatraont of this Walters in the fall of 1864*
lie was a constant visitor to Miss Jones, and
she and her brother reposed unlimited confi
dence in him, which hoi foully betrayed. Tho
rosult of his professional treachery was that his
patient became dishonored, and the birth of &
child in Juno last was the climax of her shame.
What renders this caso the more atrocious on
the part of tho convicted miscreant is, that he
is a man rather advanced in life, baring-a wife
and several growing up children, apd his vic
tim twenty-two — dishonored at that oarly
porivul and degraded for life. What grounds
had tho jury to recommend so atrocious a
criminal to mercy ? The crime of Wallers was
not limited to the villiany of which ho has been
convicted—it varies anu extends not only over
tho entire social state of Brooklyn, but reachos
the domestic circle of overy family in the Uni
ted States in the shape of the foulest Blander
ever ventilated by a professional man- It was
proved in evidence on the trial by a brother
physician that the convicted criminal, Dr.
Joseph S. Walters, in a consultation with an
other medical man, declared that tho person of
Miss Jones was in a pure stato of virginal in
nocence before he dishonored her, “a state in
which very few of her aye are found to be," and
this is the wretch whom the jury recommendod
to mercy.
The disunion prevalent in the ranks of the
Feninn Brotherhood during the past two weeks,
instead of being contracted, as it was hoped it
would be, seems to have acquired new ele
ments of disoord, The Senate has acquired
new strength, and tho (rj/sq<)8 of Colonel
O'Mahoney are mustering stronger and strong
er overy day. Mr. Daily, the Hoad Canter of
Indiana, one of the members 1 of Congress,
who, in Philadelphia last Septti.ibor, con
structed the working machinery of the organi
zation, sat as judge or refereo, or ainious curiae,
last week, to hear and to determine between
tho conflicting sections of tho Council, and the
result of his deliberations was bis adhesion to
the Senate sitting in Broadway and opposi
tion to thu deposed section in Union Square.
On Monday tho Senate adjourned, apd no sign
of cohosion or reconciliation marked the last
acts of tho Senate in Broadway nor the coun
cils of the gentlemen in Union Square, so far
as the public aro concerned. The O’Mahoney
section persist in calling a Oongrosa op the 2d
( of January, and the Broadway section deny
the authority of “tho late President” to exer
cise any power whatevor.
Thu New BruDBWickers are still in a HCare
about the Fenians. All manner of precaution
and dofeuce are in active play amongst those
amiable loyalists, and concluding from the energy
enlisted aud the means ior the destruction of hu
man life ready for use, it is manifest that those
people set more value upon the phantom of
loyalty to British power thau upon the lives and
well-being of the human laiqily—that power by
which millions of the hitmen race have baeu
butchered and plundered, not noly in Ireland, but
in every other quarter of the world in whioh
British power;beld sway. In Canada, some peo
ple in their fright are culling upon the Govern
ment to arrest tho Boaq Center, Mo&furphy, who,
with all his adherents, keep quietly looking on
und never iniudiDg them. The newspapers there
who assume to sneuk with authority, boost that
at tho opening oi Spring the government will be
in a position *z oppose a front of 80,000 men
in arms against ail Femenism at home and
ubroud, whilst the F. B. laugh at the threat, and
say that the number of half the 80,000 men are
not even in imaginary buckram but oaly on
pupor, the other moiety being members of the
Fenian organiaation. The laBt accounts received
yesterday do not contain any matter of interest.

loyalists.
On Sunday evening the Rev. Dr. Cheevers de
livered a lecture in fits oburph, in Union square,
on the subject of the treatment which the colored
freedmeu of the South should receive at tho hands
of the citizens of ihe United States, lie enlarged
upon the necessity of lorbearauoe and in
dulgence under tho new order of things, and
made a nervous rcfereuce to the late affair in
Jamaica, in which he said the governing and not
the governed wore most at fault; and denounced
tiie treatment of the colored population by English
authorities up “a massacro.

On Monday a change in the atmosphere ter
minated the existence of royal Jack. Tester
day he disappeared iu New York, but we can
not answer for his existence here or else
where at the present writing. The climate is now
Bolt and mild.
Jn Lima, Livingston county, in this State, a
fire originated on a stnalj scale, which sproad
with fury, and in its devastation destroyed thp
Post Office and several adjoining buildings,
doing considerable damage in its course in the

took fire from his lamp. Ho is still alive.
The sales for the week ending tho 7th inst.
were largo, amounting to 29,000 bales, and on
the two following days tho sales were about
5,000 each. Of the first item 25,000 hales
wore taken by speculators and 28,000 by ex
porters, so that the quantity taken for present
operations io the factories in England wns 46,-
000 bales. During the week tho market was
rather buoyant, but on the closing day, the
7tb, operations became dull and unfavorable to
holders. An advance having been acquired,
the largo salcB seemed to indicate that wants
had been supplied and speculation satisfied,
the result of whioh was that a decline succeed
ed, and sales wore urged at a reduction of a far
thing, which wero not accepted, and a half
penny per pound wus then pressed by holders
with little success. All tho buyers seem
ed satisfied will) the business they had done,
and the market closed in a languid stato. The
rates quoted are: Upland, 21 l-4d., 22 l-2d.;
Mobile, 21 l-4d., 22 8-Id; New Orleans,
21 l-2d., 23d. Tho stock in port was estima

In reforenoo to soino statistical tables com

items may not provo uninteresting. ^he con

For tho week ending Thursday last, the re
ceipts were 31,592 bales, aud since the 1st July
the aggregate receipts were 1,532,089 bales as
against in tho same period last yoar 94,060,
showing an inorease since tho peacp, in less
than six months, of'1,438,089 bales. The late
arrivals were principally and direct from New
Orleans, Savannah, Mobile, Florida, and North
and South Carolina. <There wore only 2,628
bales from Galveston and 7,706 bales by rail
road from various quarters. The increase
above deduced goes to provo one fact beyond
disputo and thut is: if after less than six
months of pcact, an incrcuso of tho staple of
one section of tho Union bo apparent, what
are the recuperative powers lying dormant
capable of doing ; and if the Southern States
and Georgia in ail especial degree were re
cruited with Irishmen and men of that class
men of bone and muscle aud a resolute will to
work aud succeed—threo years would not
elapse when Georgia und her sister States
down South would be the Elysium not only of
the United States but ot tho whole world.

Liverpool transactions with indifference. Holders
wore froo to soli, and ia some instances the desire
to reaffzo and dear off stock induced Halos at
some trifling fraotion lowir than tho abovo quo-*

same figures that to quote them would bo only an
nnnecessary rape ition. The inarkot closed in a
dull and inactlvo state with an inclination to
lower rates. Yestorday operations wero a little
more aotive and prioes a shade bottor, in conso*
quence of somo unfavorable nows from Now Or

THE FE-
TUe discussion etnong the leadorB of the Fenian
movement is still the subject ot rival uction by
Colonel O’Mohony and the Senate of the Brother
hood It is now deemed doubtful whether the
Congress convened bv Col. O’Alahouy will be able
to effect a reconciliation botweeu'tho Senate and
the officers now in chargo of the headquarters in
Union Square.
Tho course pursued by Col. O’Mahony, how
ever, has been approved by a largo number of
Circles; and our reporter ascertained this otter-
noon, that Binoo the difficulty commenced an
uverage amount of 87,000 doily was received by
Mr. Doran Killian, the Treasurer, fiom various
Circles throughout the country. This first is re
lied on by the supporters ot O’Mahony, ag a prac
tical illustration of tho confidence reposed in him.
On the other hand, however, the members of
the Feniun Senate have received a large number
of lotteri from the great Fenian circles of the
Wost aiding their action.
In a few days the Senato will issuo orders coun
termanding those of O’Mabnnr concerning the
Congress to meet January 2d,—on the ground
that such a meeting would be illegal and adverse
to the Constitution.
The Senate rely on the fact that a House of
Delegates cannot arraign, indict, or impeach a
Senate. Should the Congress meet, it* action
Will be regarded rs null and void by the Senate.
The Senate was engaged to-day in preparing

The Chicago papers give elaborate ac
counts of tho hanging, on the afternoon
of the 16fch instant, of Patrick Fleming
and William Corbett for tho murder of
Patrick Maloney. Oorbott had confessed
his guilt. He said :
* T am guilty. I fired tho shot which
killed Patriok Malonoy,"
Then, after a brief ;silenoe, ho added,
in a tone of deep sorrow :
‘ 1 Bad company and whiskey have
brought mo hero. May God forgive me
for what I have done, and I believe he
has forgiven me.”
From the Chicago Poet we copy this
description of the execution:
“The bearing of tho criminals was
moat astonishing. They walked about
in their shirt sleeves, talked and laughed
freely and without the slightest appear
ance of fear or terror. Up to tho very
moment of leaving their cells they smoked
without ceasing, except when at prayer.
There yfaa no appearance of bravado in
all this, but it showed that they were
buoyed up with the consolations which
the priests had given them, and that they
really had no fear of death in their
breasts. They frequently shook hands
with each other and with tho clergymen,
and Corbett every now aud then smiled at
some remark made by himself or some
of the priests. Ho was much cooler and
more self-possessed than Fleming, and
appeared to feel more confident of future
happiness than did tys companions. In
each of tho cells there was a picture of the
Virgin Mary, and upon this their eyes
wero frequently turned while they mut
tered a prayer (for forgiveness. The cell
doors being open and many persons
standing in the corridor, all that went on
inside coqld lie seen. The presence of
the people did not appear to disconcert
them in the least ; they, in fact, seemed
pleased at seeing so many there, and fre
quently passed among them as they
moved from one cell to the other. They
wero not pale and showed not the slight
est signs of fear, in fact, of all those pres
ent they appeared to bo the most uncon-
corned, and looked little like men who
had bnt a few minutes to live. Their
bearing astonished every one.
“ Tho hour fixed for the execution was
two o’clock, but it was nearly three o’clock
when Sheriff Nelson went to the door and
infonned them that at last they must take
their final walk tq fcfie gallows. They re-
peiyed the awful announcement without
a shadow of terror or alarm. They knelt
down and joined in prayer with the
priests, after wlucli they arose and moved
out of the cell ituo tho corridor. On ris
ing Iron* his knees Fleming stooped
down und carefully brushed somo dust
off the knees of his pants, adjusted the
crucifix on his breast, and then stepped
firmly out of tho cell.
On arriving at the gallows they walk
ed up the stairs without the slightest
hesitation and quietly took their seats in
pfiaiys standing at the ‘drop.’ Tho
priests still kept on readiug tho prayers,
and the criminals answered the responses,
while they kept their eyes intently upon
their crucifixes, which they frequently
kissed.
“At the first sight of ^e gallows they
both grevf moro pale thau they wore be
fore, ant] trembled slightly. Fleming’s
bosom as ho sat in tho chair heaved and
swelled, though he evidently did all ho
could to smother his emotion, Futhor
McMullen stood between them and tho
other prjests near by, and they frequent
ly spoke to them, To each of their re
marks Corbett responded, ‘Yes, Father,
oh, yes,’and then he went on repeating
his prayers and kissing the crucifix —
While thus engaged, Ins eyes wandered
around the room several times, and see
ing some of the keepers whom ho knew,
ho smiled at them and nodded his head
without ceasing to murmur his prayers.
Fleming did not bear himself so well as
his companion. He looked paler, less
happy, and said his prayers in a moro
mechanical way. Yet he bore himself
like a man and did not 8fio>Y khy signs
qf flinching,
‘‘In reply to a question from Dr. Mc-
Mullon whether or not they had any tiling
to say, Corbett said that he wished to
thank Sheriff Nelson and all the keepers
and turnkeys, for the kindness they had
shown him. lie said he forgave overy
one who ever injured him, and hoped all
forgave him. lie kissed several of the
keepers and tho priests, and said fie hoped
to muot them qll in Heaven where he was
sure he was going. Ho felt that God had
forgiven him, and he hoped one day to
meet all of them in Heaven. To ono of
the keepers who had been very kind to
him ho said ‘Good bye, Chqrlio, God
bless you ! I hope to meet you in Hea
ven,’ aud then ho kissed him. As he par
ted thus with the few who wore his lost
earthly friends, toms flllod into liis eyes,
and he seemed deeply affected. Fleming
did not exhibit so much feeling. Ho al
so thanked tho sheriff' and all the officers;
said he felt happy; that he forgave every
oue, and hoped to be forgiven. He spoko
in a loud tone, and just at the moment
when tlieiy arrqs we^e l^eing pinioned he
shook liunds with several, anu kissed one
or two of tho priests.
After their leave-takings wore over
their arms wore pinioned, and a long
white shroud was placed on each of them.
The ropes were them adjusted around
tlieir nocks ao4 the caps were then placed
upon their heads and over their faces.—
\Yhile all this woo being done they still
murmured their prayers aud spoke a word
occasionally to their friends. At lost
they were placed upon the drop, and then
from under the covering of each wero
heard the words, ‘O, God, receive my
soul/ ‘O, God. receive my soul.’
While standing thus on the trap ap- aoc lf
“Both of them struggled for soveral
minutes. Corbett’s rope was not pro
perly fixed, and he died hard, as was
evident from tho frequent kicks ho mode
and the convulsions which spread over
his body. Fleming also struggled sever
al times, aud his whole frame shook with
a tremor, like ono shivering with the
cold. In about threo minutes, however,
all motion stopped, and they were dead.”
