J3y Tolegrapli. Heavy Robbery. NEW YORK, March 10/-The Commercial Advertiser says that the banking house of j Rufus Lord was robbed, this afternoon, of | Government and other securities to the amount of $1,500,000. From* Canad*. WASHINGTON, March 12.-Despatches re? ceived here from Toronto Bay that the number of volunteers called for by the Go? vernment largely exceeds the des?and. An official military order has been published, denouncing the Fenian raia, and relying upon tho success of t he volunteers in case ot an attack. From Washington. WASHINGTON. March 12.-In the Senate, to-day, Senator Sherman presented a peti? tion from a citizen of Columbia, S. C., ask ing indemnity for loss sustained by the destruction of his house. Ho read a letter from Gen. Sherman, alleging that Columbia was not tired by Federal author? ity, bnt by order of Gen." Wade Hampton. Gen. Sherman states that the town was on tire when he entered it. Tho petition was referred to the Committee on Claims. Tile bill to admit Colorado was dis? cussed. Mr. Sumner opposed it, because the Con? stitution of Colorado contained no provi? sion to allow negro suffrage. The House would not. permit the intro? duction of a resolution declaring the inex? pediency of tho scheme looking to the guarantee by this Government of Mexican or Fenian loans. The Reciprocity bill was discussed. WASHINGTON, March 13.- The Senate has refused to pass the bill for thc admission of Colorado. Tho HOUS;?, by a vote '?f 109 against 39, has passed the Senate bill, declaring all persons, white and black, born in thc United Stab's, to be citizens of the United States, and to protect them in their civil rights, and furnish means for vindication nothing to bc construed so as to affect tho laws of any Stale concerning rights of suffrage. WASHINGTON, March 13.-Some weeks ago a delegation from the British Pro? vinces visited Washington with a view to continue the reciprocity trade between the United States and the British Provinces. A bill for this purpose was reported to Congress. It has been discussed in the House for several days, and last nighf"that body rejeeted it. The Foreign Tariff Act will now apply to the British Provinces. Emigration to 3I*xico. From a circular letter of Lieut. M. F. Maury, Imperial Commissioner of Colonization for the Empire of Mexi? co, we learn some facts important to persons desiring to settle in that country. Lieut. Maury is authorized to dis? pose of 108,459 acres of the hacienda of Limon, situated ou the Panuco River, in the Department of Taman lipas, giving gratis every alternate section-640 acres-to a man with a family; 320 acres to an unmarried man, with pre-emption right in each case to as much more, at two dollars per acre. It is not advisable at present for immigrants without money to go to Mexico, except under the auspices of some friend wdio can assist them, or under the care of some one of the va? rious companies, recently incorporat? ed, for establishing colonies. Agents have been established at various convenient points, to assist immigrants on their arrival in the country, by giving them information ] and furnishing them with the neces? sary certificates and passports to en ble them to pass the custom houses, to enjoy all the rights, privileges and exemptions of the Emperor's decree. Perfect freedom of religious wor? ship is guaranteed by the organic law of the Empire, and sanctioned by the Pope. The Empire is continually gaining ground; the columns of the newspa? pers are daily, and have Leen for months* filled with the names of Li? berals, who, looking upon the Em? pire as a success, and their cause as a failure, have laid down their arms, and are giving in their adhesion to the Imperial Government. Immigrants can find desirable lo? cations in any climate they please, and suitable for the cultivation of any staple they prefer, or the raising of any kind of stock. Lands may be purchased in almost any part of the country at any price, from a few cents to a few dollars per acre. The proper time for immigrants to arrive in the country is between the first of March and the first of June. Immigrants may confidently count upon all the assistance, and every fa? cility, and the best information that it is the power of the Imperial Com? mission to extend. Lieut. Maury is about to embark for England, expect? ing to bring over his family to Mexi? co. During his absence, Sub-Com? missioner R. L. Maury will attend to the business of the Commission. CJSN. RANKS AGAINST THE RADICALS. A Washington special to the Boston Post says that General Banks will shortly make an elaborate speech, aud it is rumored that he will go with the conservatives sustaining President Johnson, and refusing further politi? cal association with Stevens and Sum? ner. Gen. Banks has not enjoyed the confidence of the radical plotters since the commencement of the ses? sion. Taking, as he 1oes, a more liberal and patriotic view of the ne? cessities of the hour, his relations with the President have been most intimate and friendly, while others of the party have preferred to estrange themselves from the Incentive. A very lengthy message from the President, in response to Mr. Sum? ner's resolution of inquiry, in regard to the organization ol' Governments in the lately rebellious States, was received on the 6th, and ordered to be printed; also, the report of ope? rations of the Freedmen's Bureau both of which were referred to the Committee on Reconstruction. ?Tile Spirit or (he South." Under this caption, the New York Commercial Advertiser-a paper which represents the commercial interests of the shoddyites of the metropolis discourses in a recent issue. We ap? pend the paragraph of that journal, and beg to say in answer, as we have been requested to do by one of our oldest and most esteemed city mer? chants, who received it in a letter from an equally old and respected merchant of New York, asking if it were true, that the business man in question either wilfully misrepresent? ed the subject, or knew nothing of what he was talking. We have many Northern gentlemen here in business, not oue of whom, we venture to say, would endorse the sentiments of the writer. It may answer a very good purpose to the shoddyites who read the Commercial Advertiser to repre? sent Southern feeling in this manner. {Ehe war is over, and so are army con? tracts, and a little manoeuvring on Wall street does sometimes a won? drous amount of good. Whether, however, South Carolina ia a better place for the investment of capital than Wall street, we leave it for those interested to discover. If emigrants desire fine openings, this State pre? sents ns fine opportunities as any sec? tion of the globe, all the cock and bull stories about it being "unsafe to be out after nightfall," &o., to the contrary notwithstanding. But here is what tho Advertiser and the "busi? ness man" says: "Ono of our business men, who has just returned from au extensive tour through South CaroUna and Georgia, states, as a result of his observations, that it would be very imprudent to immediately admit those two SUites, at least, back into the Union. He found, everywhere in Sherman's track, a spirit of bitterness and disquietude. Instead of encou? raging or welcoming emigration, the people, as a general thing, betray open hostility to strangers coming among them, and 'new comers aro not sate outside of the military lines after nightfall.' Especially is this true at Charleston, where anything but inducements are held out to emi? gration. To use his own language again, 'the citizens have determined to run out every Northern man coming to settle among them.' "We trust that these accounts of Southern hostility and insubordina? tion are overdrawn. One thing, however, is very certain-the plan of reconstruction now being pursued has, iustead of 'stimulating' emigra? tion, placed a direct veto upon it. Ncr man of sense is disposed to risk his life and capitid in a region where he knows that he cannot be guaran? teed the protection of the Govern? ment to which he has remained loyal. " [Charleston News. FASTING.-At a time when provi? sions of all kinds are so dear, and procurable by many to but a very limited extent, it must be very con? soling to learn, on the authority of an eminent English physician and physiologist, that occasional absti? nence from food is likely to be more beneficial than otherwise. Dr. Frank? lin recommended fasting one day in the week. A workman would be slow to follow this advice, unless the day of fast were also one of rest. Dr. Davy, the writer referred to, points out the fact that, although the Irish people stiffer more from the scarcity of provisions than those of England, and have been subject to famines almost unknown to the latter, yet the average lougevity in Ireland is greater than in England. This is not borne out by record, i however, in the assertion that persons most remarkable for their longevity were invariably to be found among the poorer class of people. These latter furnish, indeed, the large num? ber, but not a few from the noble and princely houses and dignitaries of the church in different countries of Europe might be named, who reached a very advanced age. It will suffice for our present purpose to mention three historical characters, among many others, on the favored list, viz : George the Third, of England, Tal? leyrand and Palmerston, who were gathered to their fathers at the ages respectively of eighty-three, eighty fouraudeightyyears. LordBrougham still lives, and is eighty-seven. Certain it is, that with advancing civilization, the mean duration or the value of life has greatly increased in modern times, or within the last two centuries. In Geneva, Switzerland, the increase, during a little more than this period, has been from twenty one years and two months to forty years and five months. The gain is more noticeable among the wealthier and well to do classes of the popula? tion of a city; on the other hand, the I net dy and the destitute furnish more cases of sickness and a higher bill of mortality. THE WAY THEY DISAPPEAR.-The Shenandoah Valley says: On Saturday morning last, tho at tion of some of Captain Rica's hands was attracted by the cries of an infant, proceeding from an old stable near his residence. On investigation, an abandoned negro child was found. The captain, on being informed of the circumstance, immediately pur? sued the inhuman mother, and, over? taking her about two miles below town, he compelled her to return and take her infant away with her. The child, when discovered, was sur? rounded by hogs; and it is more than probable that in a short time it would nave been devoured. The Fenian*. We make the following extracts from our Northern exchanges concerning the Fenian excitement. The Dublin correspondent of the Ne w York News writes : "On Thursday night, a strong party olice made & descent on a spirit store, in ames street, in which, according to the information possessed by the authorities, a Fenian council used to assemble nightly. A large room, with entrances opening into two streets, was alleged to be used as th? council chamber and. at beth doors cf this room the police suddenly and unexpectedly Sresented themselves, on Thursday night, r. entering, the police found the hall filled to its greatest capacity. In the large as? sembly, says The Freeman, were to be seen civilians and soldiers in earnest conversa? tion, smoking and drinking, the former principally consisting of strangers to Dub? lin, wno had come to this country within a short period, and who had evidently come for no good purpose. So sudden and well managed waa the mah made by the police, that all in the room were ia. their nanda before any effective resistance could be of? fered. Nothing could exceed their sur? prise. Some sought in vain to effect their escape, and a man named John Byrne, of London, presented a loaded seven-barrelled revolver at Sergeant Magee, of the G divi? sion. Magee promptly snatched the pis? tol from the hand of Byrne, who is a repu? ted Fenian centre, and came to Dublin from London on last St. Patrick's day. Fight with a loaded revolver was also sought to be made by another "brother," named Edward St. Clair, but he was over? powered. James Doyle, an alleged centre, and Stephen Kelly, who stated that he was an artist from London, had, also, revolvers, all of which were of the newest patent pat? tern, containing seven chambers, each loaded and capped. They had elegantly finished saw-handles and eight-inch bar? rels. Amidst all the confusion occasioned by the sudden incursion of the police on the Fenian councils, one man made himself most conspicuous. This was Corporal Thomas Chambers, of the Sixty-First Begi ment, who, it is stated, deserted nine months ago, and came to Dublin from Lon? don about five weeks ago." A special despatch to tho Philadelphia Ledger says : ' Important intelligence of an authentic nat ure has reached here from Ireland. The conspiracy was becoming wide-spread, and the troubles existing were declared to have been powerfully increased by the suspen? sion of the Itabeas corpus; this had exas? perated large numbers of the people, and the excitement was spreading through many of the towns that had hitherto exhibited but few symptoms of revolt. "Able advisers of the British Government had urged upon the Cabinet to forthwith demand of the American authorities that the known leaders of the movement in that country be warned that their incendiary proceedings would be no longer tolerated, and that they should in future be treated, not as citizens, but as outlaws. ' It is with these,' say the parties in question to the British Cabinet, ' that you have to deal, and if yon can succeed in putting down the plotters in America, Ireland can then be safely left to take care of herself. Tho root of the evil is not here, (in Ireland,) but in the United States.' " There is certainly much truth in this, hut will Great Britain act upon the advice before what might be termed a really overt act had been committed ? And if so, would our Government interfere?" A letter from London states that the British Government "intends to treat all aliens, that is to say, all American Fenians, who are proved to have any connection with Fenianism, not as traitors or conspi? rators, but as pirates." This measure, it is further alleged, "is based upon the idea that Fenianism will die in Ireland as soon as American.agenta are gotten rid of." The Times hints that this immigration or in? vasion of Fenians resemble the "fillibus tering" in this country "which was follow? ed by annexation." TOBONTO, March 10.-The general call for volunteers aro being responded to with alacrity. Bishop Lynch has issued a circular de? nouncing the Fenian movement, and one is published by the Customs Department which specially instructs the otficers to thoroughly search all the baggage of pas? sengers coming into the Provinces, and to detain all arms, weapons and munitions of war found. WASHINGTON, March ll.-It is staled on what is believed to be good authority, that several conferences have taken place be twec Secretary Seward and Sir Frederick Brr ipon the subject of Fenian move mc. ., which have resulted satisfactorily to the British Minister, who has been as? sured that no violation of the neutrality laws shall be permitted. The Washington correspondent of the .Baltimor? Sun, writes: Parliament has been called to meet April ?Oth. Nova Scotia and New Bruns? wick will immediately accede to the pro? posed confederation with Canada. Large reinforcements will be sent out from England as soon as navigation opens, to meet thc threatened Fenian raids. English gun-boats have been ordered to the fishing grounds, in view of the abroga? tion of the reciprocity treaty. The Government buildings and banks at Ottawa have all been placed under guard to-night. The HeralSs special despatch from To? ronto says: "So great has been the Irain upon some large business houses of this city, that they have been compelled to suspend business during dull hours." The news from the frontier indicates that there is no cause for the extraordinary movement, but the military autboritios and the whole people approve the action of the Government in preparing for an emergency. Many assert that the present hubbub was got up for political reasons, to unite opposing factions, so that the con? federation may be carried next month in Parliament. No troops have been sent to the frontier. If this is really the object of the Govern? ment, it probably will be successful; for all parties seem to have forgotten their poli? tical differences to rally for a united de? fence. It is thought here that the Government will be obliged very soon to intervene on tho Canadian border for the preservation of our neutrality. The Fenian movement, before it ends in smoke, may show some fire; at any rato, the Canadian authori? ties have been put to the trouble and ex? pense of military preparations for defence from hostde combinations made within our own borders. A proclamation from tho President on this subject is expected. Speaking of the fruit crop, the Raleigh Progress says : ' 'From various sources of information in this section, we are induced to believe that the apprehensions expressed in some quarters as to injury done the fruit crop by recent cold weather are not well grounded. A gentleman who has recently returned from a tour through most of the Eastern Counties assures us that the trees there gave no considerable indication of bud? ding, and the people are generally confident of a large yield. We hear similar opinions proclaimed in this vicinity by the knowing ones." Gov. Allen's Mexican Times. We have received by mail a copy of this paper, of the 29th of January, and a friend hands us one of the 20th. We learn from it that Hon. Messrs. Oldham and Randolph, of Texas, and Col. W. F. O'Bannon, of South Carolina, had arrived; also, Messrs. John McMurty and family, Girgen and family, B. Crowther and family, rv. G. Martin, C. w. Chapman, S. \v. Hutchings, T. W. Young, Wood, John S. Tisdell, John Thraiikill, Judge Snead, Capt. Lux, W. S. Flour noy, M. J. Costar and Mitchell. Some were going to Cordova, and some were looking at other places in which to settle. The draining machines of the city were under the charge of Mr. Henry Hirsch^ of Louisiana The Times thinks great improvement is needed, and asks that Mr. H. be helped in making it. An 'offer had been made for the formation of a draining company, which gives it first all the Govern? ment lands redeemed from the lakes of Chalco, Xochimilco, Texaco, San Christobel and Zumpango, and 40 per . cent, on the value of private lands drained. It will also own the watering mines and collect the navi? gation fees for fifty years. In addi? tion to this, the labor of 1,000 con? victs will be given to aid it. Propo? sals were asked for. Mr. Laughlais, the French finan? cier, has planned a scheme, by which $34,000,000 liabilities were to be met out of $24,000,000 assets; easier, of course, than to make four thousand millions out of eight; but a queer proposition on its face. A Portuguese colony was to settle in Huachinango, to be 8,000 strong in six years. Porfirio Diaz had been whipped by a Lieut. Col. Acevedo and 2,000 other dissidentes at Tehauntepec. Gov. Allen has received letters from American emigrants settled near Matzatlan. The are doing well, making cotton. [New Orleans Picayune. Clover is probably better that any thing that can be put in an orchard, as it is known that the long roots carry manurial substance to the under soil, and the stem shades the ground. A lady happening to express a wish in the presence of her son, a boy of five years, that she had something to read that she had never read before, the boy exclaimed, "Take your Bible mother!" Pretty sharp, that. A "Johnson Club" has been organ? ized at Memphis. It is composed of some of the oldest leading citizens of the city. Their object is to labor in the cause of restoration and order. Real estate has advanced twenty five per cent, in New York within the last month. Columbia. Wholesale Prices Carrent.

Br. brig Troubadour, St. John's, N. B. WENT TO SEA YESTERDAY. Br. bark Florence Chipman, Liverpool. C03I9IERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.. AUGUSTA, March 10.-Thc cotton market ia depressed and unsettled, so muck so that wo are unable to give correct quota? tions. The offering stock is light, while ?mrchasers have withdrawn, in a measure, rom the market. Very little is being done in consequence. Gold-buying at 31@32, and selling at :?4. Silver - buying at 23, and selling at 30. NEW YORK, March 10.-The gold market continues weak, owing to the speculators in it being almost exclusively o-.i the "bear" side. The floating supply of coin is gra? dually becoming scarce, in consequence of the absorption of coin by thc Sub-Treasury for customs' duties. Thc opening price was 131}, followed by a decline to 130.} at the close. Loans were made mainly with? out interest, but, in the afternoon, thc bor? rowing rate was three per cent. Foreign exchange was dull. Bankers' bills at sixty days on England were (ploted at 108.1@3 ; at short sight, 1094?.$; commercial, 107.J.r<? 108 i ; francs, at long date, 5.26^5.25 fat short date, 5.Iv jt$5.18.?. CINCINNATI, March 9.-Flour dull, and prices nominal ; wheat firmer, for higher grades, but thc lower grades are dull, and Srices nominal, closing at S1.75@1.80 for o. 1 new red ; corn dull and nominal, at 50c. for No. 1 ; provisions rir;ncr, yester? day. There are buyers for city mess pork at $27, but no sellers at less than $27.50. Bulk meats dull at Ile.; 13$ and 15$ for shoulders, sides and clear sides. Bacon is offered at 13$ for shoulders, 153 for sides, and 17@174 for clear sides ; lard Armer, and in demand at 18c. for prime city, but hold? ers asking an advance of 4@}e.; groceries quiet ; cotton dull, and prices nominal ; whiskey dull, at $2.25, duty paid ; gold 131. NASHVILLE, March 9.-The cotton mar? ket was more activa on yesterday than for several days previous: nevertheless thero was a slight decline under the recent de? pressing news from Europe. Advices fruin New York quote middling at 42. The prices herc range from 31 to 31A. The grocery market is inactive, and shipments small, owing in part to thc difficulty of procuring transportation over thc roads. We have no material changes to note since our last quotations. Despatches from New York quote sugar dull and unchanged. Coffee unchanged. Flour and grain quiet. Pro? visions very dull, and accurate quotations difficult to bc given. Mess pork quoted ac $26.25, but lard firm, and holders asking higher rates. GOLD.-The National inlet i'jencer, of the 10th, says : " The gold premium lias declined to about thirty-three per cent., and is likely to fall, as it did last spring, to thirty or lower. The Secretary of the Treasury is reported to have said that ho could easily cause a further decline ; but the fad. during thc last \Tf-<>k, was without any exercise of his power over the market. No gold has been sold by the Treasury for a week past, though, daring the previous week, the sum of $12,000,000 was put into the market. The Treasury still commands a large amount of gold. " Money ia so abundant in the commer? cial centres tba: speculation flourishes, though regular business is at a stand. Speculation in thc city of New York has, for a week past, been directed strongly to real estate at advancing prices, the auc? tion sales amounting to $250,009 a day. This shows not only the abundance of mo? ney, but the want of employment for it in any regular business. " Many persons marvel at the fact that tho prices of living are still maintained at the same rate which prevailed when gold was 200. An actual scarcity of commodi? ties, caused by diminished production and suddenly increasing consumption, has been and still is among the causes of high prieea, as well as the redundancy of paper currency. But prices tend downwards, and must decline very sensibly, even without any reference t-o tho success of any scheme of contraction. Hundreds of thousands of men, lately in arms, and large consumers, must now become producers, and, besides these, the vast current of immigration brings daily accessions to our means of production. "Dry goods, both foreign and domestic, have fallen heavily--wholesale prices hav? ing declined 20 per cent.-during the past week. The Southern demand for goods, which was so brisk during a few months following the close of the war, has sub? sided, and the supply has exceeded the means of payment. The South has nearly exhausted the resources which remained to it, after the war, in cotton, tobacco, na? val stores, etc., and tho prospect of pro? duction for 18t?? -7 is far from being good. " Sonic business men anticipate ^ gene? ral decline of prices, and, as a consequence of it, a contraction ol' bank loans, which will fall with severity upon bank debtors. Banks arc generally increasing instead of diminishing their loans. The loan line of the New York city banks before the war was $120,000,000, and it is nor/ #2^,000,000, though legitimate business is falling off. When thc banks shall, from prudential rea? sons, contract their loan line, everything upon which these loans are based will suf? fer a great decline in price."
