The distress which has for some time prevailed among the working class in France appears by the latest reports from the manufactoring dietricts to be on the increase. At Rouen most of ule factory bands now only work for four days in the week, and it is said that the manu- facturers will soon reduce the number to three. There is aleo great difficulty in Goran | work at Eibouf, Mulhouse and St. Quentin. In Paris, too, the completion of most of the new streets and buildings has thrown a# great nom. ber of Jaborers out of work, and men who earned from four to five francs a day last year are now glad to obtain employmentat lesstban half that rate. Thus state of things will of course be etill further aggravated by the close ot the Exhibition. It ig to be a that the’ lower clasees in Paris will hayes bard time of it this winter.

At7% o'clock Saturday evening, the Synod met for devotional services and the considera- ten of missionary operations; the Moderator (Rey. Dr. Chester) in the chair. After singing sod prayer, & paper was pre- sented from missionaries in Brazil in regard to the work, followed by an interesting and in- structive address by Kev. Mr. Chamberlain, of Brazil. Rey. Mr. Cross submitted resotutions “That in view of the great want of laborera in our cifferent missionary fields, and those which God is daily opening at home and abroad, we do earnestly urge upon the young men in our churches to consider their duty in regard to preaching the Gospel; at the same time we would exhort parents and Chureh members to pray God to conscerate our children to his Service. That we recommend to all our pas- tore, on the first Sabbath in February, to preach & sermon on this subject, showing the daty of Young men to inquire whether it js not their uly to enter upon the work of the Gospel ministry.” Rey. Dr. Edwards offered aresolution «That we would earnesily suggest to all our minis ters the importance of frequently imparting to their churches intelligence on the subject of missions, and do all in their power to stir them: up to prayer and action on this important subject.” Rev. Mr. Wightman introduced a resolution « That pastors be enjoined to labor for the per- sonal consecration of the young in their con- eregations, with the view to laborers in the foreign fields ” Remarks were made on the above rezolu- tions. by Rev. Messrs. Creigh, ross, Ramsey, Edwara. Schenck and Wightman; anda far- ther discussion was prevented by the intro. duction of tbe following by Rev. Dr. Gurley; which was adopted: Resolved, Tha: the communication from the Presbytery of Rio be committed to a special committee, consisting of Messrs. Oreigh, Uross and Taylor, wiih the Ruling Elders Grayson and Robbins, that they may carefully consider the matters (herein urged upon us. and pre- pare in relation toeretoa suitable paper for the adoption of the Synod Adjourned to Monday at 9a. m. THIRD Day. Synod reassembled at 9% o’clock, this morn- { ng, and devoted the first half hour thereatier to devotional exercises: The minutes of the last session were read and affirmed. The following resolution, offered by Rev. Mr. Williams, was adopted. ‘Whereas, it is the avowed and persistent purpose of increasing numbers in our land to secure the repeal ofall civil statutes pro- tecting the observance of the Christian Sab- bath: * Resolved, That we call upon our churches for earnest prayer and consistent efforts, that God may mercifully preventsuch triamph of Infidelity and licentiousness, aud centinue that bleszed_ institution to ns and to posterity for human benefit and divine glory.” Rev. Mr. Hayes, trom the Uommittee ap- pointed to examine the minutes of the General Assembly, submitted a report calling attention to certain matters concerning the Synod; which Teport was adopted. ev. Mr. Hayes, from the Committee upon Territorial limits, submitied @ report respect- ing the boundsof the Presbytery of, Winchesier, and recommending that as the Presbytery of Winchester has made no reply to our ex- pressed desires for harmony and union, and inasmuch as there are church members in that territory who desire to continue in our connec- ton, the churches consisting of such members to joo iect themselves with the Presbytery of Carlisle. Pending the consideration of the report, the time arrived for the consideration of the sub- ject under discussion on Saturday at the time of adjournment—being the report of the com- mittee on re-union. Rev. Mr. Gray den moved that no member be permitted to occupy the floor more than five minutes. Rey. E. A. A. Taylor proposed to amend by inserting ten minutes, instead of five ‘The vote being taken, Mr. Taylor’s amend- ment was defeated, and thereaiter Mr. Gray- den’s mction was adopted. ‘The Clerk, Rev. G P. Ueye. wien offered the following amendment 1o the report: “And we would sincerely regret the interraption of the effort to cecure agreement and organic union, since it is not intended by the Synod by this action to exprees any want of faith in and hope for its final scecomplishment.”” ev. Dr Creigh addressed the Synod on the amendment. He regretted his necessary ab- sence on Sacurday, for it had been his wish to give thie matter full consideration. There ‘were three partic® involved in its principles— one who desired union atall hazards, one who wanted it upon certain conditions, and the other who did not want itatatl With regara to the doctrinal basis, he did not feel like de- manding a mest rigid subscription to all its terms; but that same liberty shoald be granted to those receiving the symbol. The Moderator here announced that the speaker had exbausted the five minut”3 allat- ted to him, and, under the ru! continue. Here a proposition was made and adopted, that the action of the Synod with reference to, the time permitted for discussion be rescinded, and each member be permitted to express his views folly and without restraint. Rev. Dr. Tustin said, in substance, that the paper and the action of those supporting it e really of a want of confidence School brethren. He ssid these latter declare that they receive our stancards in the same sense in which wedo. Our side virtually declare that we don’t believe them. He then asked that an editorial from the Amer- ican Preslyterian be read, a8 showing the pres- emt position Of representative men of the New School body ‘Rev. S.S. Mitchell tollowed in opposition to the whole report. He was in favor of every effort being made to bring abou: harmony and good fellowship between the two divisions of the Church, Rev. Dr. Tryon Edwards offered a substi- tate for the entire paper, which 1s as follows: « W bereas all the Presbyteries connected with this body have carefully considered the eub- lect of the proposed anion of the two branches of the Presbyterian Church, and have pa. sed. resolutions embodying their views on the en- Ure subject; wherers the resolution and pa- pers thus adopted do, in fall and strong terme, call the attention of the Union Committee to several po'n’s of doctrine, and order on which it ie all-smportant to have more full and defi- nite statements, in which all can agree, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the fa. tore, but that the union may be cordial and permanent. Therefore, “Resolved, That this Synod fully approves the action tbus taken by its Presbyteries, and expresses the hope that the subjects thus pre- eented may be so considered and acted on by the. Joint Committee of the two Assemblies as to lead tow union. not merely in form, but in feeling, and such as sbali make the re-united Church, indeed, one body, not only in doctrine and order, but in spirit and trutn and love, ' Dr. Smith objected to the substitnie as evinc- ing a desire to get rid of the subjectin our haste to leave for ho! Dr. Edwards contended that tne great point is to bring before our Committee the real prin- ciples still at issue, to which the discussions in Synod heve not been confined. ‘Mr. Williams argned 11 wor of the subati- tmte, on the ground that a nearly ananimous vote might be eecured for it, while a third of the members present were mown to be op- Pon Taylor said Dr. Edward's paper didnot Mr. Ta} . 4 bh ie wanted all arrapgem made in such 8. defini: go far enough toward reunion. ner that there might be mo room for misua der. op. thefutare, He liked Dr. Smith’ pa +s li the true swte ‘Of tne cube ety the true state of feeling.

Hi and others. briefly addressed the Synod at ihe close of Mr. Logan’s remarke, in rejerence to the cause of the freedmen. They admitted a deplorable lukewarmness in ce tain quarters, ana contended that a prop care of the race was necessary to secure tl approbation of Providence and the perma- nency and prosperity of the Presbyterian Churen. If these heipless people were not cared for, Dr. Dickson said he teared that the cuurch would be wiped ont; and as the New School was doing nothing in this behalf, there ‘would be nothing left to be united. The bour of twelve o'clock having arrived, the Synod took a recess till one o'clock. AFTLENOON SE8SION. ‘The Synod reassembled at 1 o’clock. The question of reunion coming up for con- sideration, Dr. Dickson submitted a motion that the specification in Dr. Smith’s resolution be stricken out, and that the preamble be adopted, with the substitute offered by Rev. Dr. Edwards. Dr. Tustin was willing that such a disposi- tion shontd be made of the subject. After conriderable discussion, the vote on Dr. Dickson’s motion was taken, and the yeas and nays were demanded thereon. v. Dr. Edwards at length modified his motion by offering the subjoined. to the follow the word ‘‘would,” in the last clause preced- ing tne specifications of the report, as pub. “Direct the attention of the Union to the resolutions of 1's the bope considered and acted on, as to lead to a reunion, not merely im form but in feeling, and such as sball make the modified motion of Dr. Edwards added. Subsequently, the motien for the yeas and Days was withdrawn, and the resolution as amended was then pa.sed. On motion of Dr. Smith, the third Thursday in November, 182, was fixed as the time of meeting of the next Synod. Frederick city, ‘Md., was selected as the piece, and the hour of seven oclock p. m., fixed as the hour of meeting. On motion of Rey. G. P.

As he ap- proached her the open blade of the knife ‘with which the Rorrible deed was committed— proved atterwards to be a three bladed pocket kuife—was seen to glisten in the light of ihe gas, and the quick eye of the officer detecting it made him very cantions. Drawing near to tbe woman. he quietly remarked, +: You bave gota knife.” “No ain't,” and with this re- ply she sprang with the rage of a maniac at the officer, plunging the blade of the knife into his neck, one ineh below the left ear. The biow, driven by the arm of the desperate and inturiated woman, maddened by drink, sev- ered the jugular vein, from which the blood spurted in a copious stream. Evidently frignt- eed, bot still with presence of mind, officer McUheeney immediately gave the alarm rap, ‘when officer Seaman of that post instantly ar- rived upom the spot.

Pinioning her arms he, with the assistence of citizens, con- veyed her to the eighth precinct station-house, where she was immediately incarcerated in the darkest cell. As officer Seaman disarmed her she remarked to him, “1'll go wit: you, bat not with that man.” Officer MeChesney. with a feeling that his life was fast ebbing away, the blood spurting in @ thick 1ed stream over his coat, and satu- rating his shirt, rushed frantically up Canal street to Broadway, through that street to the upper side of Howard street, a block beyond, followed by an excited crowd, and stopping a Moment began to sink upon the sidewaik, when officers Kane and Dyckman, hearing thata man had been stabbed, rushed to the spot, and with the aid of citizens prevented the dying man falling.

But when near Franklin street the death rattle was heard in the officer’s throat, and all that a few minutes before was an embodiment of a kind apd courteous man and exemplary officer had ceased to live. Knowing it was useless in taking the officer's body to the hospital, or- ders were given that the coach be driven to the station-bouse, corner ot Prince and Woos- ter streets, where. in a few minutes, his body was resting. The victim of this foul murder had been ap- Pointed to the fares only un Ute 11th of last Month, and bad just beer commissioned & pa- trolman in the Eighth precinct. He was a fine- looking man, six feet in height and well pro- portioned to bis height. He had been married ut a few days previous to his being placed oa the police force. He resided at No. 4€ Carroll strret, Brooklyn. When the officers, who took charge of the body, were bearing it from the hack in which he died into the station-house, @ large crowd of excited men, women, and children congregated around the entrance, eagerly endeavoring to push their way into the office. The body was laid out on a stretcher and covered with asheet, and remained all night an object of terror and dismay to the many bloated, cursing drunkards that were brought past it as they were led to the cells below the office fioor. The murderess Fanny Wright, living at No. 61Grand street, is a hard featured lookirg ‘woman, thirty-eight years of age, and when placed im her cell, crouched into one of the dark cornere, where, with her hair hanging in bout her haggard face, and ared witb mud and half in tatters, she refused to answer any question put tober; “I’m troubled enongn now without anybody giving me more trouble,” she snap- PR ishly answered when questioned about any- hing concerning the bloody deed she had done.

RECEPTION TO ARCHBISHOP SPAULDING.— By far the most interesting event that has transpired at the Cathedral since the adjoura- ment of the Plenary Uouncil, took place in that building yesterday morning, the occasion being the reception of Archbishop Spaulding by bis charge. The church was densely crowded, while hundreds of persons were un- able to obtain admission into the edifice. At ele o'clock @ procession, composed of priests and seminarians, quitted the dwelling of the Archbishop and escorted his Grace to the Cathedral, and as the line entered the church, the superb orchestra, under the guidance, ot Prof. I. Rosewald, performed Tannbauser's celebrated March, at the close of which the usual rites of the Uatholic Church were observed. At the termination of ine ser- vices, Rev, Dr, Charles I White welcomed the Archbishop to the scene of his labora. and comp}imented him upon bis improved health since his departurefrom oureity. Archbishop aiding, ina clear and distinct voice, thanked bis brethren and con; for the welcome exted bimon bis retura home. He was pleased with the form of the welcome, as it agreed with the doctrine of the Onurch. He coald not sant of baa carers wpich had been be- stowed upon him, but would accep! of them, notasa Boa!

The New York Sundoy Herald contaios the following particulars: The last day of the regular au- inmnal meeting of the American Jockey Olud at Jerome Park culminated yesterdxy ins most brilliant manner, The autuma sports are not yet over, as there is to be what is culled an exira day, which will be on next Sa urday, when we may expect as rare sporrason any of the days of the previous meeting. Yester- day was one of the mos: beantiful racing days that we ever beheld, and no turfite could wish for abetrer. The announcement that four rac were to be ran, and one of them a burdie ra and tbat, too. with eight entries, led the public toexpectafineday’samusement In this they Were not disappointed, Te hurdle race itself was a scene to behold. Seven horses at once dashing for and over tbe hurdles with grace, vigor, and energy, !s a acene of Iiselfef co ex- biloratinga character as to excite theadmiration of the most obtuse intellect and arouse the most phlegmstictemperamen'. Many of the timid, doubtless feartul of accidents happening as they ‘will bappen at times, do notadmire this style of racing, and would baye it suppressed it pos- sible; but still, when on the ground, and sar- rounded by excitement, they become as en'hu- siastic. as the most devoted lover of this kind ot racing. This race passed off witbout acci- dent, and Mr. McDanie!’s horse, Red Dick,was the winner, baating Tycoon, General Williams, Zigzag, Secaucus, Zira, and Ripley. As a most remarkable feature attendant on this race, ‘we may mention that no pools were sold on it, the public not seeming disposed to buy, tor Teasons best known to themselves, and kept thelr money in their breecbes pocke's for th- nonce to venture on something more wi'hin their comprehension and their liking.

This colt Local, the son of Ligh'ning and Maroon, has exhibited fine racing quali- ties at this meeting, and promises to be a very euccessiul Rorse. The fourth and last race of the day was a dash of four miles, and the en- tries were Onward and Morrissey. Onward ‘was the favorite, of course, as few supposed that a three year old like Morrissey ceuld con- tend with bim at that distance. It was evi- den , however, to some persons that Ou ward was not himself. and before the start the bet. ting was changed to about even on the result. They ran three miles, and then the race was virtually over, as Onward soon afterwards stopped, and Morrissey had as much as he could do to canter slowly home. [his horse Onward seems an enigma to the racing world. ‘That beis a race horse, when inclined to be 80, none can donbt; bu’ when indisposed to run he is the veriest fraud that ever appeared on the turf. His temperamentmight possibly be fo changed by certain physical alterations as to make him ofsome valne tobis owner, and divest him of those too frequent exhibitions of the peculiar traits of his ancestors. The Roman Question—The Coming War. | ‘The threatening aspect of the Italian qnes- tion attracts universal attention now. The journals generally look upon war—noyw that France is about to interfere on behalf of the Pope—as ineviiable. The intelligent corres- pondent of the Journal of Commerce, writing irom Paris under date of 4b inst , says : “The French policy respecting Rome is al- together an internal Policy; that is to say, it is governed and directed solely with reference to the views, feelings, influence and power of the clerical and religious parties in France, not upon any precise or definite principles of the government itself. Leave the Emperor perfectly tree to act as he liked best himself, ana I have not the smailest doubt that he, ia his turn, would leave Piux 1X equally free to stand or fail as be could by himself. Thesup- rt, such as it is, afforded at present by tbe ‘mperial Government tothe Papacy, 1s simply regulated by the amount of pressure which can be brought to bear upon the former by the clergy and ultiamontanes. This makes the Pesition of the Emperor nearly as uncomfort- able as that of Ratazzi Mimeself, and as both have the reputation of being vies fins, and moreover are suspected of understanding each other better than they appear to do, there is every probability that they wall contrive to slip their heads out of the halter—the Empe- ror to circumvent the priests at home, and Rat~zzi to obviate the ne essity of again re- curring to such acts of ‘ energy’ as that which be was recently compelled to exhibit.” The writer adds, in a«P.5."— “There has juct been a grand ranicat the Bourse, founaed upon the gene! uneasiness to which { have referred at the beginning of this letter, coinciding with the somewhat abrupt departure of the Ministers of St-te and the Interior,(in company, it is said, with the ltalian Minister, Chevalier Nigra) to Biarritz, and the conglomeration at that place also of M. Fould, Marshal, and several other political personages. Thetumuit at the Bourse rose to such a height that the Obief Commissary of Police was sent by the Minister of the Interior to offer explanaiions and endeavor to reatore confidence. The Moniteur of this morning contains a threatening note against “dissemi- nators of fnlse news,” and i‘ {ssi that the Epoqve, a notoriors jovrral, will be forthwith prosecuted as the chief organ in spreading the false intoligence wh‘ch has raisea the above commotion. Among other reports was ove stating that the health of the Emperor was found to be ina very unsatisfac- tory condition. The pr sence of General Fleury at Berlin was also reprecenied as a threatening circums'ance, and his reception there ss buving been unfavorable. All these Teports are officially denied, but the public mind, nevertheless, remains in just dis- quietude, and recalls with uneasiness the adage that «there is no smoke without fire.” The En a@ Leng Tragic Stery. [From the Albany Argus, Oct. 16 } 1t is nearly twenty years ago that a strange man was seen in the neighborhood of the Parkr, on a Sunday in summer, brandishing & pistol, and threatening to shoot men and women in the streets. His name was Timothy Ke'ly, from Dubuque, Iowa, a runner who bad just returned trom New York, where he had sold a large quantity of lead.
