I The Kxecutlon o.'the Krnlans ai Unuclkes ter-.k Sol< iuii Scene. On.-cable di.spd.'bes have already announced the execution of he Fenians at Manchester, Eng? land, on tho 23(' ultimo. Tho latest papers, re? ceived by the China, which arrived at New York on Wednesda', are ol'that date, and the main par? ticulars giv n are the following : Tho exe ution took place at eight o'clock, ut thc New Bail' y Prison, Salford. The fog had become cxtrcme'y dense, so a? to make the recognition of Allen, Larkin and Gould difficult to any but those who w re near tho scaffold. If they niadoany at? tempt to address the crowd it was not observable excet t by tho3e close at hand. The excitement was intense, but no effort was made to creates disturbance. Rumors were prevalent in the crowd that it was determined to snoot tho executioner. Nothing to corroborate these reports transpired. J'ho prisoners were executed simultaneously. Thc scaffold was enclosed in black cloth, so as to con? ceal all but thc head and shoulders of the persons standing upon the drop. The arrangements of the police were carried out admirably, and nu dis? turbance of anv kind was made. The'police guard? ed the river LrwelJ. No boats were allowed to pass along or across the river. Business in thc city was suspended, and traille at a standstill. Yesterday Father Gadd again visited the prison? ers, who received the consolations in n very ap Sreriativo spirit. Gould maintained a very quiet emeanor and supported his position with great fortitude. At Inlt-past one yesterday afternoon Larkin's mother, wife and children visited him. His mother, previous to going to thc cell, was very much excited, and frequently exclaimed, while waiting in tho corridor ol' tho prison, that her eon would not bo executed, and the rope was not spun which would hang him. Two nf Larkin's sisters-in-law, who aro said to have come from Dublin, presented themselves at the prison gato and requested to see him. but as thc unhappy man had expressod no special desire to see them, tho antin'ritics deemed it advisable not to admit them. Allen's mother visited her non between one and two o'clock. Father Gadd had a conversation with tho friends of tho condemned men previous to their being admitted to tho cells, and stated that the men were preparing themselves in o be? coming manner to meet their doom. At a late hour several women who wero understood tu bc relatives of Allen ami Larkin were observed in the tin son lodgo, evidently in a state of groat distress, bather Gadd-resumed his attendance upon the convicts at ten o'clock, accompanied by the Rev. Father Quick. It was arranged that when the men were pinioned and the procession formed thc Lita nv, the Miserere Psalm and the "Litany of Jesus"' should be read, tho last named being reserved for the final moment. Shore-, who had apparently be como resigned to meet tho capital sentence, re? ceived the intimation that, a respite natl Leen ac? corded him in a becoming spirit. It has bee? stated that the Marchioness of Qneensbury sent a letter containing ?300 for tin family Of Larkin. Thc actual amount was ?100. This was contained ina letter addressed to the Rev. Mr. Gadd. Therein was au enclosure ad dressed to the unhappy men, which read as fol? lows : My Dear Friends : W itli those few lines I en? close what may give some consolatio n to yon in your approaching departure from this world. I send you by tho hands of a faithful messenger some help to your wife, or wives or children ?ni then approaching irreparable los.:, and give you my assurance that as bng as I live they will bc cared for as much as is in my power. Mr. McDon nel, thc bearer of this for me, will bring me their addresses, and the nddross ct the priest who at? tends you. It w?l he a comfort fer your precious souls to know that we remomber you here nt the alt ;r of God, and yon will remember that in Ihe all-glorious sacrifice at Calvary yon were included. Wc have daily mass for you litre, end if it please the good God to call you to himself on Saturday morniug. remember that thc precious body and blood of the Saviour who will bc presented for you before God, wiio jileases to call you on that day tbat blood so precious, which cleanses from all sin. May your lust words and thoughts be of Je? sus. Rest on Him who is faithful and willing to save you; anti rent on Him who was sacrificed on th? cross for you; and h?~sr Him say, 'To-day you will be with me in Paradise." Yet will wo remem? ber your souls constantly at the altar ol' Coil aft et yotif departure, as well as while you ure living. Farewell. May thc Saviour of sinners save you, and grant his blessing upon yon on earth and his salvation in heaven. CAROLINE, Dowager Marchioness of Queens be try. At three minutes past eight o'clock tho solemn voice of a priest repeating the Litany oi the Ho? rnau Catholic Church was beard, and thc head of the procession became visible through the thick fog, about thirty yards from the foot of the stair? case. The Rev. C. Cantwell walked tost, by tin side of Alb a. Tho convict was deadly pule : his eyes wandered alternately from tho priest to the individuals standing round. Ho walked with a tol? erable steady step, and uttered the response, "Lord, have mercy tnxm ns," in a finn voice. Next io him came Larkin, in whose appearance confinement and anxiety of mind hud wrought a striking change. He wa.ked with difficulty, ami r-quired thc Buppcit of the wardens as ho mounted tho staircase. Se seemed to join mechanically in the response, and as ho approached tho head of the stairs he give one hast v glance at the- bbek beams overhead, and seemed atiout to faint. Could was the last, and he met his fate more firmly, joining in thc responso with a steady voice. About five minutes past eicht o'clock the door leading from the jail -. ard to the scaffold was open? ed, and thc- same instand almost every head in the crowd wa? uncovered. Allen was thc first to ap? pear. He was detidlv pule, und closely clasped a crucifix. Calcraft at once placed thc white cap over his face und adjusted thc rope. Meanwhile the convict continued engaged in prover. Then followed Gould, who walked with a firm step. On coming to tho drop ho shook hands with Allen and kissed bis riebt cheek. He, loo, was forth? with capped and place-I in tho noose Larkin was the last to mount tho scaffold, which he did with firmness, ami, indeed, with n'amile upon his face, and. like thc others, be submitted unresistingly to tho preliminaries. Trey all joined loudly and ear? nestly in tho response s-"Jesus, have mercy upon mc ; Jesus, receive my soul." When the bolt was drawn and tho thr ?'bodies dropped, Allen was doad in about a minute ; hut the death of his fel fellow-criminals was more painful, both Larkin and Gould appearing to struggle some little time. The bodies wero cut down at nine o'clock. How the Pre? ld en (Vs Message waa Kecelvetl by Congress. The Washington correspondent ot'thc New York Tribune, speaking of tho reception of the message says : It appeared to have very Utile effect either on the members or on tho spectators in tho galleries. There were no demonstrations either of approval or of disapproval, and the whoio thing fell flat and stale. The only ripple of excitement was at the point where tho President alluded to tho Demo? cratic triompha in the recent elections, when tho Republicans laughed nt tho Democrats, and tho Democrats returned the compliment in long, loud and repeated guffaws. Shortly after tho members got together and began discussing the document. The Repiblicans entertain but one opinion re? specting it, which ia that it is a bold, inso? lent deflanco of Congress. They say it shows a determination on the part of .Mr. Johnson to continue in his present course, and, should impeachment be attempted, to resist Congress by every means at his command. They all admit its ability, and the question asked by almo.it ev? ry one is, "Who wrote i* for tho majoritv ot people fancy they scu traces of some 'Tine lioinaii hand" in its pages. They say ?it possesses the cunning und shrewd? ness of Seward, and the argumentativeness both of Black and Stanberry; that it is Johnson only in its spirit of menace, hostility aud reckless? ness. The Democrats, on thc other hand, regard it as one of the greatest rebukes ever administer? ed to Congress, and sav that, as a state paper, it has neve . been equalled for ability, strength and vigor, and tl-at if Mr. Johnson will only stand on it as firmly as he does on (ho Constitution, it will totally annihilate the Republican party, boree, foot and artillery. Rut they fear that he will not have sufficient nerve to hold out against tho impeachers and that he will be induced to make a compromise with them and retreat a little from bis present position. Things in New York. THE ORBIT OBANT KBETOJO-A BIT OF S EC ll KT HIS? TORY-EPISCOPAL CHI-Ren MATTERS-FAILURES ANO SUSPENSIONS. The Now York correspondent ol' the Philadel? phia Ledger writes under date of December 4 : An event much talked ol' to-day is the Grant meeting nt Cooper Institute this evening. There is a bit of secret history connected with it worth repeating. A few days ago the Conservative Re? publicans (such as Weed. Ravmond and their associates) came together, and, after a free dis? cussion of the political situation, concluded that it would bo a good card to break ground for Grant. They wanted to be lirst in tho Held, and the first to formally salute "tho coming man." Their arrangements were made accord? ingly, and the intention was to call a grand "spontaneous combustion" meeting in Union Square on Friday evening next. Un? fortunately for their plan's, however, tho Radi? cal Republicans (such as Opdyke, Spencer and Dodge) got knowledgo of what was in tho wind, and so, not to be ontgcneralled. they determined upon a flank movement, the result of which was the call for the demonstration this evening. As thc facts of tho ease are now pretty generally known about town, the laugh is against, the Conservative Republicans. The C mmercial Advertiser o? this evening (Weed) makes no allusion to the meeting whatever. Thero is good reason for saying that the pro? ceedings that were contemplated against Rev. Stephen H. Tyne. Jr.. for his alleged breach of discipline (in the Stubbs case), have been dropped hythe Ecclesia-tical authority of tho Episcopal Church of this diocese, for reasons, no doubt, sat? isfactory to themselves. Meanwhile, it is worth noting, the "breaches" are multiplying. Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg, of the Church of the Holy Commun? ion, preaching in Dr. Spring's Presbyterian Church, on Murray Hill, and Rev. Henry Ward Bepcher doing the same thing this evening, in tho Church of the Holy Trinity, over in Brooklyn! Business circles' were rife again to-day with re? ports ol' thc suspension of this timi and that. A manv as eight or nine houses wero mentioned, but as it'is difficult to authenticate them, publication o! names would bo improper. Tho failures mentioned yesterday have intensi I Sod the prevailing distrust of commercial paper, and discounts accordingly aro reported closer than ever in tho open rcaritet. ' Tho banks, however, are meeting tho requirements of their regular custom? ers with freedom. Ratos range from lj? to 10 psr cent. Loans on call 7 per cent., with some excep? tions nt G. Afluir?

Mrs. Emily Donthit, mother of Mr. 6. J. Doutlnt, Ordinary, of Greenville District met with a ven- serious accident a few days ago. She was walking, it appears, upon a sidewalk in Greenville by tho side of .which was a deep gully, and it being very dark, she was unable to seethe walk, and steped oft into the gully, breaking her leg bone about midway between her ankle and knee. -The Orangcburg News says last Monday the Sheriff's and Commissioner's sales attracted to thc Yillagc ii large concourse from every pari of tho District.

On Friday, tho 29th ultimo, says the Barnwell Sentinel one of the most violen! tornadoes that ever swept over this section of conntcy, was expe? rienced about two aud a half miles auove Uris vil? lage. Its fury was confined to n ver) narrow scope, covering in width about u quarter of a mile. Trees, fences, outhouses gus., were levelled to the ground, and some three or lour of our planting friends, on whom it vented ita slpcon, trill not bo able this year to clear their lands. On one plac? there was not a single nee lott standing. A wagon was carrie l some forty or fifty yards, anti stove inio atoms, and a large tree, after it was up? rooted, was carried sonic twenty or thirty feet from where it grew and lodged against a tree, fortu? nately no lives were lost, but the extent of the damage cannot be cstimeted ; even tho cotton left standing in the fields wus spun ont a yara Ul length, and much ;.f il twisted, Our informant.

The pcoplo of Albemarle County, Virginia, an much excited over certain apparently supernatu? ral phenomena that are witnessed almost nightly at tho houso of a Mr. Moon, of Scottsville. in that conutv. The matter has beeu dceniod of sufficient importance to induce the Richmond Dispatch tc send a special reporter to the scene of ghostly ope? rations. The reporter writes : The interest manifested in the mysterious man? ifestations at the residence ol J. S. .Moon, Esq., is still unabated, l'or a period of nearly ten moi.tha Mr. Moon's residence has boen occasionally haunt? ed by the mysterious stranger or strangers. Tlie first questions now asked of any one coming from Mr. Muon's neighborhood aro, '-What is the news from Mr. Moons? Was tho rogue there last night V His last decided demonstration was on last Tuesday night, when lie threw a fow stones at thc house. 'Thecauso ot Iiis suspending his ope? rations for so long a time is supposed to bc tho fact thatlic has recently had special reasons to fear de? tection. What these reasons are it would not now be prudent to disclose. To publish them might les? sen tho chances of detecting tho bold perpetrators of these singular annoyances. Besides, suspicion may now rest on an innocent man. lt is certainly a very strange affair. Wo call ''the thing" a rogue"; and vet, it a rogue at all, lie i.i only a rogue in a very small way. Ho has had many opportunities to take things'of value, but one or two pounds of sugar and coffee, a few small articles nf clothing, and two or throe loads of powder and shot, are all that he is supposed to have taken. It is out of tho question to suppose that he wishes to do Mr. Moona personal injury, an ho might do this at any time. Nor vet is it probable that he is influenced bv feelings bf hostility toward any member of the family. That ho should expo3o hid lifo nirrlit af? ter night simply "for the fun of the thing ' is al? most inconceivable. What, then, can bo Iiis mo? tive ? The future may reveal Those who have had tho best opportunity of knowing all the facts of the case suppose that at least threo persons have been engaged in it. Onlv one, however. Ins ever been seen at a time. There is a tall figure and a low figure, and another of which nothing is known. The tall figure, we be liovo, is tho most daring. Ho is specially notod for throwing lights n bout. Those lights aro of two kinds. One is an ordinarv light, which might be thrown from any lamp or lantern, and the other is described as of ? very singular character. It comes into a room through a thick curtain, and shows it? self in a round spot, not much larger than a silver dollar, illuminating only the spot upon which it rests, lt does not remain long in one place, but dances about with tho utmost agility.
