The Star’s New Yo'k correspondent, writing 10th January, says;— The chief organiser of the Irish 'Republic. T imes iStephens, is still in this City—but no member of the Fenian Brotherhood is so poor now as to do him reverence. He ispyi-al} sides denounced as a most arrant humbug and worse, as a scoundrel and a coward, He has been deposed from the high position which he held, and General Glesson lias been appointed to it. The latter is a “ fighting man,” and served with credit in tiie Irish Brigade during our civil war. Perhaps under his administration there may be some blood spilt to aid the Fenian cause along, but it ts hardly likely. L’lia fact is that Fenianism is about “ played out” in this country, as in Ireland. The Fenians in Canada who were under sentence of death have all Shnd their senlenses commuted to imprisonm nt for twenty years. Londen, Jan. 10 - Matters in Ireland are perfectly quiet. All fears of a Foi ian rising have passed away. The chief organizer of the Irish Republic, Stephens, is nowhere to bo found. His threat to commence the war on Irish soil before the *losc of the year 1886 has amounted to moonshine. The Brotherhood are deeply incensed ag dnst him, and he will have to give w-y to some oiher man who keeps his promises better.
