NEW YORK. CANADA. Fenian Prisoners Discharged. Toronto, Nov. 19. Oa Saturday night thirty-nine Fenian pris oners confined ia the old jail were released from custody. Their discharge was con ducted with great secrecy, it belngonly about aa hour before they were sent away that the pr.soucrs themselves were made aware of the joyous tidings. They were furnished trans udation by the Government to Suspension Bridge, aud a special train provided by the Great Western Railway. This drew up in cue rear or tne jail at 10 o'clock, and the men were safely lodged on board, in charge of a gjara of twenty men with a corporal and sergeant, under conuurwd of Lieut. Harrison, of the 17th regiment. The prisoners received' a good snppor at the station house before starting, and each presented with a fire dollar biJ greenback. On reaching the Fails the Fenians bade good-bye to their escort, giving three hearty cheers for the Sheriff,, the Governor of the jail, aud jail officials. . ; The jury in the case of.

Though the cable dispatch of the 17th was explicit in the statement that Gen. Dix had arrived in Paris, there is no doubt the re porter was at fault, and the true statement should probably be that the family only of the General had arrived there. ; Railwar Removed Irani Broad war, 1 The railway tracks on Broadway between A 1 T.,. i . jxuu aim r unou streets, were removed yes terday, Mayor Hoffman baring issued an order to that effect. . i V.va.

The Herald's correspondence says Venezu ela is in a most wretched state, and is actually without a, government. When Mr. Jas. Wilson, the American Minister arrived, there was no one to present his credentials to. President Falcon had never acted as Presi dent. He kept away from the canitai. ami the person representing him was also absent when Mr. Wilson arrived, but he managed to present his credentials on the 10th instant to the President, who had arrived at the capital. Considerable discussion is going on here just now as to the best means of improving the financial condition of the State. In the mean time, business is in a very bad way. We hear of some heavy failures, in which Puerto Subello suffers. The valley colfee and cotton are at the bottom of the failures. The Great Revenue SwindleDistillers Arrested. Large crowds collected at the Collector's office to-day to learn what proceedings had been taken in regard to the recent seizures of several distilleries and the first of some of the operators. From information at the United States Commissioner's office, Mr. Tilden, U. 8. Inspector and Mr. John Devlin, a heav operator, were arrested by Deputy Marshal Higgins. The accused were brought before Commissioners Jones and Newson, when they gave bail in the sum of $50,000 for their appearance this morning. The warrant for the arrest of Devlin was issued by Commissioner Jones, on the com plaint of Frederick Cohen, a U.S. Inspector, who accuses him of having been guilty of bribing another U. S. Inspector to defraud the Government, by branding liquor as hav ing paid the Government duty, when no such duty had,.beeii paid. Mr. Tilden is charged with committing a similar offense. The par tics appeared before Commissioners Jones and Newson, this morning, when Tilden's case was set down for a hearing on Saturday morning next, at 10 o clock, and Devlin's case for the 27th. The English Reform measure. The London Post of the 9th inst. contains the following: The reform question is again claiming consideration, and it remains to be seen if the mission which Mr. Bright lias fulfilled in Ireland will serve to impede its reso lution. Be that, however, as it may, the Irish people cannot but be sensible that the influence which they are urged to extend to the cause Mr. Bright is advocating should be husbanded and guarded iu their own interest, and not lightly exchanged for a political promise which, as they will not tail to per ceive, lias yet to be indorsed by responsible statesmen. . A Contradiction. A ridiculous report has bceu telegraphed to a New York paper, and reiterated, of the abstraction or theft of a number of arms from the armory in this city. The absurdity of the canard will be appreciated when the fact is stated that there were no arms in the armory, nor has there been for some time, it being used for the storage of old tents and. otner military debris belonging to the Gov ernment. collector bmytne received official notice this morning from the Consulate de la Repub-lica Dominicana, that J. W. Carrier assumes the duties of Consul-Genera!, his exequatur having been received from the President of tho United States. WASHINGTON SPECIALS. Amicable Witness PENNSYLVANIA.

An Illustrious Visitor. Among the many visitors at the President's hoase to-day was John Morrissey, Congress 'man elect. Settlement Another on the Stand. The Commercial's Washington special savs: t is confidently expected that the reconstruc- ion question will be amicably settled early in the approaching session of Congress. Ne-o- Itiations for that purpose are in progress between the President and the leading politi- fcians of all parties in the North and South. The basis of settlement will be universal suffrage aod general amnesty. The President partially secedes to this proposition, but he insists upon constitutional arounds that the question of suffrage properly belongs to the respective States and is so far adverse to ny action of Congress upon that snhipr-t If assurances can be obtained from Southern leaders oi the speedy adoption of universal suffrage, the President will waive his ohien- , , t nous, i ne proposed basis of settlement contemplates the abandonment of the constitu tional amendment as a condition to Southern representation.

Consuls Recognized. A new Consulate-General has been established in this city. A Grand Coup in ReserveStand from Under. Washington, Nov. 19. j The statements made to-day by a number of the leading representative men of both the Repubiiqun and Democratic parties tend to confirm the few intimations that have leaked out from the recent consultations at thtf White House that the President is on the eve of a grand eenp detat that will 'gratify his) friends and bewilder his enemies. It is safe to conclude, at the very least, that there is an, earnest desire on both sides to settle upon some feasible plan of securing harmonious action between Congress and the Executive on the same subject. i The Explanations Explained. TheTribune has the following: Mr. Chase's first interview with the President was merely to give the latter information in some fiuan ciai matters. ine secona interview was, merely a friendly one, and Judge Chase took occasion to advise Mr. Johnson to depart from his present policy, and urge the Southern legislatures to adopt the Constitutional Amendment as a final settlement of tho present difficulties, and that in case they objected to the second and third clauses of the amendment, to compromise by substituting universal amnesty and impartial suffrage. Not only hns Judga Chase urged this course on the President, but so also have several prominent men of his own party from both North and South, C. C. Clay among the latter. Whether these arguments and the facts on w hich they are based will change the course of the President remains to be seen. A couple of Democratic Congressmen who lately conversed with the President, stated that he has no idea of altering his present nolicv. and claim that the elections have had no effect, except to make him more determined In his old plan. They claim, with what truth is uncertain, that he insists that the people were hood winked and deluded, and will soon begin to see their mistake and adopt his views. What tho Times Says About It. The Times has the following : Mr. Johnson has not indicated his purpose relative to tua amnesty-suffrage plan mentioned in these dis-1 patches on last Friday, though the gentlemen who advocates the propositions, represent that the President has given them encouragement to, expect that lie will adopt tpeir suggestions. Several newspaper cor respondents haveendeavored to create doubts of the existence of such a combination of leading men for the purpose of inducing the Presideut to accept the proposition and advise the Southern people, as set forth in my dispatch. In order to put at rest such doubts, I am enabled to say from personal knowledge, that such a combination does exist. A number of the gentlemen co-operat ing in it, have had interviews with the President, and they have been in the matter or about a month, visiting and corresponding with influential men of the North and thd South. No Hope of a Change in the President. The Post's special says : The facts divulged to-day show that there is little hope that the President will recommend impartial suffrage in ids message to Congress. He will stand with Mr. McCulloch on financial questions. Republicans Removed. Several Republicans were removed from office last week. Congressional Retrenchment. The Tribune's Washington special says not , the least important work of the approach- i mg congress may be looked for from the Special Committees on Retrenchment, an. pointed toward the close of the last ses- with, with leave to sit and take testimony uriug the recess. They have been hard at work during a portion of the vacation period and are now in session in New York, v in constant dread of the raost serious disorders and a probability of the indiscriminate plunder of the town. Fighting at Matantoras-ResniirersRe-pulsed-Deatli of Tania. Galveston, Texas, Nov. 19. A special Brownsville dispath by courier, Nov. 11th, reports a spirited attack on Mata-moras on the 9th. The skirmishing lasted several hours. The assaulting party, under Tapia, gaining the advantage, but distrusting Cortinas, ho did not follow up his success. The defenders lost twenty prisoners, and Col. Riaz, their commander, was arrested for bad conduct on the field. On the night of the 10th, Tapia died of the cholera. This event will clmnge the current of events. The arrival of Eseobado is expected. Ortega at Hrazos.

The Charleston Mercury again in the Field. The Charleston Mercury was issued this morning for the first time since February; 18Go. It admits, editorially, that the war annihilated the theory of State Rights, and proposes to devote itself in future to the in ternal development of Southern interests. appearance in unusual numbers, Professor Loomis replies as follows : Shooting stars may, without much impropriety, be called little comets. Each meteor is a small body, generally of verv little density, revolving about the sun in an elliptic orbit, aud governed by' the same laws as the larger planets, Jupiter ami Saturn. The average number of these bodies which encounter the earth every day is several millions, and still there is no perceptible decrease from year to year. The total number of these bodies, therefore, belonging to our solar system, must be reckoned by millions ofmil Moil's. The earth in its motion about the sun, with a velocity of nineteen miles per second, is continually encountering more or less of these bodies, and they plunge into our atmosphere with velocities varying from ten to forty rnik per second, by which means heat is developed sufficient to ignite them, and they are entirely consumed, generally in a single second, and at nn elevation of about fifty miles above the earth's surface. OrcsMton. ally we encounter bodies of greater density, which cannot be so readily "consumed, and they reach the earth's surface, sometimes entire, and at other times in a fragmentary condition. Samples of such meteors are to be found in all rniueralogical collections of this country and Europe. The periodical display of shooting stars in unusual numbers indicates that they are not distributed uniformly throughout the solar system, but are collected in vast numbers iii certain regions, while in other regions they are comparatively tew. Shooting stars are annually seen in great numbers oil the 10th of August; and since each meteor is moving in its "orbit with great velocity, while every year we find large numbers of 'them near the same point of the .earth's orbit, we conclude that they are arranged in a ring or zone, intersecting the earth's orbit at a noint which the earth passes on the 10th of August in order to explain the recrrence of an unusual number of shooting stars year after year, about the 18th of November, we suppose that there is another ring of these minute bodies,sornewh:it inclined to the ecliptic. Throughout the different portions of this ring, the meteors are distributed in verv un equal numbers; but there is one portion where the number is immensely L'rea.t:. and it is this portion which the earth encounters at Intervals of about thirty-three years. According to rroi. 11. A. JN ewton, the reason that this disnlav retn rns onlv rmrv in thirty-threeyearsisthe following: Each meteor of tho November group moves in an orbit which is nearly circular, with a mean dis tance from the sun either a little less or a little greater than that of the earth, and a nerio.1 about eleven clays less or greater than one year. The earth encountered the densest portion of the group in Novembei, 1833; but the next year this portion passed eleven days before or after the earth returned to that point of its orbit; the following year the dif ference amounted to twenty-two days; so that at the end of about thirty -three years it must gain or lose one entire revolution, and return nearly to the position where it must encoun ter the earth. If we receive no accounts of an unusal display of meteors this week in any part of the world, we shall look with con ¬ siderable confidence for such a display on Nov. 14, 1867. R T. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Washington, Nov. 19. The Nary Department has received in formation of the arrival of the Tallahassa at Galveston off Tampico. No foreign vessels of war were off the river or iu the port of Jamplco on the 29th of October, and only one American vessel in the harbor. Tampico is at present in command of Col. Gomez, with a force of 800 men, controlling customs and enforciug the payment of loans. i ne autnorities of Victoria, the capital of the State, do not recognize t hose of Tampico, and their guerrillas seize all mods found in route for the interior markets despatched ' from the Tampico custom house. By letters from San Luis Potosi it is ascertained that Mejia and Dupire are to leave that place in the early part of November with an expeditionary force for the recapture of Tampico. ; Gen. Pa vor, who has a force of 1500 to 2,000 men in the locality, and is nOw holding Tampico, has issued a Proclamation, declaring Puebla Viejo open to foreign commerce, ivhich, it is feared, will lead to open hostili-! jies between the forces under his command and those under Col. Gomez. Under this state of al&irs the inhabitant of Tampico are More Railroad Finished. Atchison, Kansas, Nov. 19.

Loomis, of Yale College, writes that on Monday night, Nov. 12, a company of ob servers at that plate counted 69G shooting stars In live hours and twentv minute wmcft is about four times the average uum oer visible for the same period throughout the year. On Tuesday night, Nov. 13, another company connted SHI shooting stars In five hours, which is five times the average num ber. On Wednesday night the sky was over cast, so that no observations could be made. We conclude then, that the number of shoot ing stars visible about the 13th was very re- marfcaoic; nevertheless this display is not to be compared with that of Nov. 13, 1833, in whick the number of meteors was .variouslr estimated at from ten thousand to. thirtv thousand per hour.
