NEW YORK, December 1G.-Tho Fenian
Senate has adjourned, and four Senators
have gono to their homes, leaving their
brethren and President Roberts patiently
awaiting the arrival of the Irish Head
Centre, James Stephens. They expect him
to take the dictatorship here, for, in the
Fenian Brotherhood, if nobody has dissem?
bled, the Head Centre is an absolute mo?
narch, and they believe that when he shall
have deposed the rival Presidents, all will
be serene.
From XC-*T Orlcan*.

\"e\v York Affairs.
NEW YORK, Docembcr IC.-The Fenians
and their troubler still seem to absorb
much public attention here. At the Hall
of Tara yesterday, the officers of the va?
rious departments were busily engaged in
matters pertaining to tho organization.
The arrival of General Mullen, the head of
the Military Department in Ireland, has
excited much interest and curiosity as to
his position as regards the present causes
of misunderstanding between their Fenian
leaders. Tho chief difference is said to lie
in the opposition in views with regard to a
proposed early move upon the "enemy's
works." It is supposed that the military
chieftain of Ireland, with the views from
either side before him, will take sides with ]
President O'Mahoney; for the present, at
all events.
The appearance of their Secretary of j
War before the Senate yesterday, his
speech there, and his interview with thc
military delegation of nine, who have just
arrived from Ireland, are said to have ex?
cited much enthusiasm in favor of his
plans for immediate and decided action.
On the-other hand, many resolutions of
endorsement of President O'Mahoney's
policy aro passed by i\?Herent circles.
Upon the whole, the breach is apparent?
ly widening, and should the early contem?
plated move be attempted, the general
opinion seems to be that it will terminate
in a complete abortion.
The courts of tho city present to the
world a frightful record of crime and vice.
The money market, to-day, is much, agi?
tated, in consequence of tho rumors of a
rupture in our diplomatic relations with
France. The closing rate of gold, to-day,
146J, with rather an upward tendency.
Money is scarce, and only to bo had at high
rates.
