STEPHENS.-It is now alleged that the Fenian "Central Organizer," Stephens, instead of having gone to Europe to fulfill his promise that "the blow would be struck before New Year's" is still in New York. A convention of Fenians in that city, on the 5th inst., declared him an "exploded humbug," and accused him of receiving and appropriating to his own use $12000 of the Fenian funds since his arrival in this country, instead of buying and sending arms to Ireland. He has resigned, because, as he says, Fenianism is too weak to cope with England, and General Gleason has been appointed in his place. It now looks very much as if the charge made some time ago, that Stephens was nothing more nor less than a British spy, was correct.
