New York, December 13.
--The steamship City of Boston, from Liverpool 26th ultimo, and Queenstown 30th, has arrived.

Stevens, the Fenian Head-Centre, remains at large. It is believed he will get out of the country. One of the prison wardens is under arrest, and two others have been suspended. The military police are now stationed in the prison.

Two war steamers left Queenstown on the 26th with a constabulary force on board. The object of this movement is unknown, but it is asserted that it is connected with the search for Stevens.

The special commission for the trial of Fenians opened in Dublin on the 27th.

The Morning Herald says that the feeling in the city relative to American affairs is not altogether satisfactory.

The Princess Helena, of England, is to be betrothed to Prince Christian, of Augustenburg.

Spanish advices regarding the Chilian question say that the British remonstrance was most promptly and satisfactorily met at Madrid, and there is now every indication of and peaceful settlement of the difficulty. Percontra, the Madrid Telegraph says that Spain has issued a diplomatic note approving and justifying the conduct of the Spanish Admiral, and declaring that Spain will not permit her dignity to be outraged without exacting satisfaction.

The Pall Mall Gazette learns that no such note has been issued, but, on the contrary, the Spanish Government is disposed to make every concession.
