It was vaguely reported that Garibaldi, at his inter- view with the King of Sardinia, declared that Italy was Detzayed, and that he would head a revolution, The King protested against such a proceeding. Hon. Charles Sumner and Gen. Van Rensselaer and lady are passengers. ‘The steamsbip Indian, from Quebec, arrived at Liver- pool at 2:10 P.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS, A Paris despatch of the 4th says that the French and English governments had fully agreod on the basia of the Congress which is to be held at Brussels. All that ro- matned to be settled was the offieial ratification from the English government. THE TRIP OF THE GREAT EASTERN. ‘The Great Eastern left Holyhead on the 2d, and reached Southampton on the morning of the 4th inst. She experienced very rough weather and a heavy sea on the passage round. ‘The London ‘Times’ account of this third trial says, when the ship was exposed to the waves of the Atlanticshe rolled and dipped, but with ease. The ship seemed to swing hereelf with a sidelong, gentle motion, over every wave, dropping deeply and easily beyond them, with a regular, slow roll; and often quite deep enough to leave one paddle wheel out of water, turning high and dry in the air. This motion of the vessel is at. tributed to her very light immersion, and to the fact of her having no upper weights to counterbalance ‘the coals stowed below. The whole roll ef the vessel is calculated at only eight degrees each way, or sixteen degrees in all, an every day amount to smaller vessels, though something for one which was supposed to be almost immovable by wind or sea. The greatest speed ‘attained was over fifteen and a half knots, or close on eighteen miles per hour. The run from Holyhead to Southampton is pronounced far more satisfactory than either of her previous trips. Tbe engines were under tho tole control of Mr. McLennan, chief engineer of the ship. THE RECENT GALE. DISASTERS TO AMBRICAN VESSELS. ‘The ship John G. Costar, from Shields for New York, was lost near Yarmouth; crew saved. ‘The Martha Whitmore, from Cardiff for Mobile, put back to Cardiff 2d, with decks swept, cargo shifted &c. The Sea Belle, from Swansea for Caldera, put into Mil- ford 1st, with masts cut away, &c. ‘The St. Nicholas, from Havre for New York, was off Falmouth 3d, putting back with loss of foremast, &. The J. J. Boyd, from Liverpool for New York, had put ack but eailed again. . The English Channel fleet was at sea, exposed to the full fury of the gale. It was most skilfully handled, and sus- tained no damage whatever. GREAT BRITAIN. ‘The coroner’s inquest held upon the bodies washed ashore from the Royal Charter had occupied several days resulting in the verdict that the lives were lost by puro ‘accident; that the captain was perfectly sober and did all he could for the ship and passengers. The divers con- tinued their operations, but without important result. Forty-six bodies had been found altogether. ‘At no time since the Russian war had greater activity been observable at the Woolwich arsenal, in the prepara- tion of war material for the coast defences and for China. ‘The fortifications at Dover are to be extended forthwith, and several batteries reconstructed. ‘Tho organization of the French army for China is oon- sidered definitively settled, and preparations at the seaports for ita embarkation have already commenced. ‘The new Cunard steamer just contracted for with the Napiers of Glasgow is to exceed the Persia by 600 tons, ‘and will ia every other respect be larger and more power- ful than that vessel. Efforts are to be made with her to surpass anything afloat, both as regards speed and iater- pal arrangements. FRANCE. Benj Snasson has submitted to the conditions of peace dictated to him. These tribes will give hostages and will pay tribute. It in stated that the French government has resolved on establishing, from December next, a naval station in the Red Sea, in imitation of England. Cholera bad broken out among the French troops des- tined to invade Morocco, and carried off several distin- guished officers, including Col. Lafont, commanding the engineers. The ravages exceeded fifty mon per day, and the total deaths were 1,500. A Rugsian squadron of six vessels will remain at the ‘Mediterranean station of Villafranca during the winter. ‘The statement is reiterated that the Pope has promised to grant the reforms recommended by the Emperor Na- poleon after the insurgents of the Romagna have return- ed to their allegiance. ‘The Papal government had again prohibited the expor- pei of Indian corn, which had been Permitted since dune 1.

INTERESTING REPORT OF MR. WARD'S JOURNEY TO PEKIN~THE RIDE AND THE ROAD—ENTRY INTO THE CITY, AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT—THE TREATY ALL RIGHT—THE PALACE IN WHICH THE ENVOY WAS LODGED. {Correspondence of Boston Travoiler. Penix, Cua, Aug. 9, 1859. A litle more than a year neo, aw'the Powhattad Jay in the smooth waters of the Gulf of Pechele, amidet a powor ful French and English fleet, which had juat destroyad the forts at the mouth of the Peiho river, and then taken the French and English Ministers up to Teen tain, a large city ‘of 400,000 inhabitants, seventy miles above the muath of the river, where the American, Russian, French aud Bng- lish treaties were negotiated, Tchanovd w meet with a Ras sian work giving the most resent tuformation about the great capital, ‘of this old empire, which I condeused and sent o your journal, How litle did fdream then of ever entering the sig described! of spenting & pleasant fort night in it, and living in & palace once owned and vocupied by the Prime Mipister of the Emperor, aud which was confiscated to the government in a ft of imperial passion, because the minister had not defeatey the rebels who wore advancing upon the capital! how litle dream of inditing a letter for your columns in my room in Pekin, with all the quietbess and comfort and feeliag of home ! 30 hulo do we know of our future. ‘The occasion of such an cocurreace was the visit ot our minister, Hon. John E Ward, to exchange the ratifloations of the treaty made lust year by Mr. Reed, aud w presen to the Emperor the autograph leter of Prusitent Biche pan. Through his politeness being invited w make oy 0 his suite, I of course most exultantly accepted the offer, and on the 20th of August, leaving the ship, in company with twenty others composing the suite, landed uta wwo called Pej tang, a few miles distant from our anchorage, and containing a popolation of 25,000 inhabitants It i situated on a river of about the size of the Merrimack, bat not equal to the Pelho, which is cousiderahly largur than the Connecticut, and, ruuning ‘or # long ume parallel with the Peiho, and only about ten miles distant from it, atleugth makes asweep to the northeast. The town is sitnuted ou the right bank of the river, starting from which with our cavalcade of nomerous horsemen aud mounted mandarins, and other officials, with fifty carriages, euch drawa by two mules, and forty or fifty porters, carrying boxer, &c., be- sides half a dozen or more heavy wagons, containing our Daggage, we proceeded in a direction nearly west, cross ing @ count, riectly level, but in a great d Dar. ren, the ‘ana ing almost as low as the Gulf, and the soil of » large portion go saturated with saline matter that tho Plante growing up here and there had the taste of salt when touched by the tongue. At the end of the second day we reached the Peiho, about eight miles above Nen- tein, where we took junks, thirty-five in the whole, and, dy the uid of wind and buman bones and sinewa (for the junks were all drawn by trackers, a6 they are called, just ‘as boats are drawn by horses on the Erie and oiber canals), after five days’ sailing and tracking through the most charming country the eye ever ‘@ll upon, with sceves ever meeting our eyes on the banks avd ia the crowded villages of the rarest und most exciting interest, we reacheo the great city of Pung chow, at the head of navigation, and containing a populauon of 400,000 souls. ‘The distance from Tung chow w Pokin is twelve miles, the city being united with the river by a canal for the transportation of the immense quantities of Salt and grain brought up by the junks, and alsu by aroad for travellers and the carrying of lighter goods, which 1s Duilt of large bewn stones, of great size, aud subd as Tagopry cab make it From the wear and displacement of the stones, in frequent instances, the whee's of the oar riages continbally strikwwg against the uneven portions of the stoves with great vioreuce, or else sinting into holes which bad been worn ovt by the friction of their rolling for ages, tbe ride was most painful, and even intolerable to some o' our party, who sprang to their feet aud walked @ gooo part of the way. At length the mighty walls of this greatest of all cities in the world, ag it is supposed, rose before us, and, be- fore we had entered the ‘* Eastern Gate,” its three ‘mil lions of people seemed to be about us, or at least such & representation of them as satixfled us without secing their coustituencies. I will not now attempt to describe what we saw on our route, all 80 unlike to whatever we bad seen before, nor the imperial city, and what we gaw in it, and what we thought and did, and how we fared, a8 all these matters require detail, and would fill sheets, to do justice to them or those who might read them. So much was there of rare and charming in- terest in our journey, that [ could not bot ofteu remark, when asked my opivion, that it was worth crossing the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, avd the Chinese and Yellow Seas, just to see what we saw on the bapks of the Peibo. A8 goun as circumstances permit, the Traveldcr’s numerous readers sball have the opportunity of seeing ail, with the disadvantage, however, of looking through your corres pordenv’s eyes. Our quarters were assigued us io the ‘artar City, or imperial division, the otber division being cecupied by the Chinese almost exclusively, aud consisted of hulf a dozen or more houses, coustituting the palace, as I before remarked, of a former Prime Minster. Is it not queer that articles for the. Boston 1ra- veller should be written in a fiue room, both sides of which, from three feet of botwm ‘wo the top, are only great windows, without, however, one inch of glass, whore place is supplind by a strong semi-transpa rent paper, fastened by paste or glue to lattice frames of elegantly carved work, into which no eye can pry, and out of which no inmate can see even the court and trees before it, in which the wife may have lived an imprison- ed existence, or the minster buve writen bis official mis- ves, which carried life or death to the utmost limits of empire with a population of above four hundred mil- we? Many thanks tothe Prime Minister, or sumebody else, for the use of bis sanctam, which doubtless gives a sincerer joy and comfort to the ‘outer barbarian,” your humble correspovdent, than it did to the legitimate occu- nt, who only raw and dreamed of the sword suspended yy # hair over bis bed, and which ut last full. Everything having. been brought to a successful and honorable issue by the discretion, courage and indomita- dle independence of our Minter, we kave the city to- morrow, returning by the sume route that we came. Saying nothing of the material interests of the com- mercial world, which anay suffer deeply Crom the out- rageons conduct of Mr. Bruce, the moral and Christian agencies about to be put in operation must sfter still more by the exasperation of the Chinese against the English, and the distrust and aversion thus revived and reinvigo rated towards all Western nations. Rey. Mr. Aitchigon, who accompanied the suite of Mr. Ward as ove of his interpreters,» scholar-like aod most estimable man, whose family, as he tells me, resides ia Framingbam, in your State, intented to remain in Pekin apd commence the first Protestant mission in the capital and North China; and another English clergyman, whose acquaintance I happened to make, went up w Tung chow, the city of 400,000 inhabitants of which I have spoken, and only twelve miles below Pekin, aud spent two mouths there the last winter, alone and unprotected, with the in- tention of commencing a Christian mission there; but he dares not return in view of the exasperation of the Chi- nee in cons quence of the Iate outrages; nor did Mr. Aitchison think it judicious to remain in Pekin, from the intense jealousy and suspicion of all foreigners on the part of the government and the officials of the metropolis, oc- casioued by the same occurrences. The indignation aud scorn of the civilized and Christian world should be pour- ed upon the ambitious and reckless individual who alone has brought about this mischict. (Pekin Correspondence of Journal of Commerce.} The country was very fine in the culture and produc- tions, while temp! id roonuments lined the rowi, on which we gazed with admiration in passing, till at length we reached a government house, where all were required to alight und enter the great imperial city, which was only two miles ahead, in our carriages, as usage required. The road begips in the great stree:s at the entrance of the city, which is paved with large flag stones, o'ten sepa- rated by violent concussion, avd oftea worn into deep boles, of the width of the felloes of the wheels which had rolled over it, and waen the wheels suuk into them, either in rapid motion or by a siow drop, pulling the mules vio- lently back, the concussion was like a sudden dislocation. ‘Thus for at least two miles we proceeded, till we reached the western gate of the city, when we imagined the dis- turbance of the stones would be less from the less use to which the stones had been subject, But here we found our- telves deceived again. The road must bave been magui- ficent in its early days, and worthy of the old Romans. It had beent built above 200 years, since which it has recety- €d bo improvements or repairs. The earth has been thrown up to such a perfect level that it wasimposeible to detect the least elevation or de- pregeion for the entire distance from Tung chow to Pekin. A floor does not exhibit a more pertect level The width of the road is about 25 feet, the stones of which it is con- structed being often 12 and 16 feet long, by 2 und 2 wide and hewn with such precision as to make a work of solid masonry. The stones are brought from the moun- tains, and being of unequal solidity, some were more easi- ly decomposed by atimcapheric agency, or worn away by ¢ rolling of the whéls which passed over them, Thus it happened that in some cases the atones were separated from top to bottom by the frost, which is here intense in winter, or by violent concussions, or the settling or fliding of the earth in which they regted; or elso dec} holes had been worn out, which were filled with stand- ing water; or more frequently and disastrously the wheels had wern out just their even width between two stones, between which a little space had boen created by the accidental starting of one or both of the stones in a horizontal direction. “When the wheels struck and sank into such holes, the concussion was fearfully violent to the rider as well as to the carriage. Upon leaving Pei-teang in the morning, our fleet made affine spectacle upon the water, ag our cavalcade had done uyon the land, thirty-six junks and smaller boats deing all drawn up close to the shore, and ready w follow our Minister's junk the moment the immense and terrible gong gave the signal of departure. Fach man- darin had bw junk and servants, while some of the junks were used for baguage, provigions aud other purposes. Mr. Ward’s junk bas its history. It was built a hundred years ago, and was occupied as a house as well asa Mandarin passonger boat, and had on board three gene- rations of owners. viz. : the grandfather, aged 60, and two wives, aud the son and his two wives, and four children, bis own age being 40. ‘The grandfather had an older brother on board, aged 64 years, and fairly an attache to the junk, since he was born in it, bad lived in it, and never left it, and will not till his body is borne from thence to the ‘house of allence instead of the noisy Pabel in which he has lived eo long. ‘The junk is an heir-loom, having belonged to the family from the begin- ning. Onward we move; but not by wind, or ateam, or horse, or mule power; itis simply the power of human bone and muecle which starts this long train of thirty-six junks from their slumbers, moving them slowly but surely agains a current which runs two and a half miles an hour, ant aleo often against the winds as they tarn the endless angular points made by the sinuosities of the river. A long rope, of sometimes sixty yarde, 18 attached to the top of the maet, which is seized by’ men called “track- ers,’ who eometimes walk on ove bank and then the other, as the depth or current directs, each man having a litte yoke on his shoulder, which is connected by a smaller rope to the main one. Thus these fine-looking, tmuccular men fulfil! the office of horses and mules, which could be readily used, and “track” these heavy janks from the Gulf to Ting-chow, a distance of about two hun- dred miles. Somtinies the wind favore, and then iu Stantly they spread their one square sail, and catch the Precious breeze, which, however, they cau gonorally Uulize for a few minutes only, as a new angular point to be doubled about every two miles, when the wind he contrary. In descending, the current comes in t the bumble tracker, and: though ho may not. tle n his junk, small demands are mado u his bone and muscle.

The reapectabie source from whieh the report originated bas created some excitement about Cuarks- town, but none here. Our people are very quit, not expecting any attempt ata rescue, nor do they fear any, howe ver formidable, because they ure prepared for any emergeney. ‘The nomeroug fires about Charlestown have indeed the citizens to anticipate some annoyance; they are more waaily excited, but ve ove #8 at all afraid of the result, even if au att mpt should be made. Cot. Davis has made ample pro- vision for apy pumber of the enemy who may inake a call. More troops are being demanied of the Govervor, but this may be as muck to protect the prisoners from the populace as anything else. As fur ag J can learn there 1s No cause to apprebena danger. The fresh excitement was caused by the arriva! frow Bellair, near Wheelng, of @ man named Smith Orane, ‘who stated that be had: incidentally overheard @ conver sation between some men who bad organized @ band of tive hundred to march w the release of Brown aut the other prisoners at Charlestown. He immediately set out for Harper's Ferry to apprise the inhabitants of the fuct. It was also rumored at Charlestown that a fight hat oc curred in Clarke county between some citins and a party of strangers, and @ detachment was sent to the scene of disturbance, Ov the receipt of these rumors, despatches were sent toCoknel Davie and Governor Wise for five bhandred more troops, who arrived here this evening, the Governor being with them, and our town is again bristling wito bayonets and considerably excited, ‘The Governor suye it will give Virginia a military expo- rience, even if the rumors should all prove uufounded, to that they will kuow how to protect their borders here- after, if occasion should occur. 3 Gov. Wise, with three of the companies, has just start for Charlestown; the others will remain bere until w- morrow. OUR WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Wasmnoton, Nov. 20, 1859. ‘There is great excitement here on account of the news from Charlestown and the neignborhood of Harper’s Fer- ry, of the apprebension of furtber difficulties, if not an at tempt to rescue Brown and bie fellow criminals. The city was aroused from its usual Sabbath quietude by the arrival early this morning, by special train, of over 400 troops, with Gov, Wise, from Richmond, and this afternoon by geome hundred others from Petersburg, en route for Charlestown and neighborhood. Governor Wise had received despatches of an urgent character, showing the fears and disturbed state of the community, While the Governor did not think there was immediate Ganger of an outbreak, or an attempt at rescuing the pri- sonera, he deemed it prudent, in cousequencd of the many acts of incendiarism, and of the character of intercepted bostile letters, to take these precautionary measures. The most curious and significant result of this excite- ment, abowing how completely sectional it has become, is seen in the public sentiment of Washington. North- ern men bere, almost to a man, either ridicule these movements and the sensitiveness of the Southern people, or attempt to palliate the conduct or condition of ‘the miserable criminals at Charlestown; while Southern men are alarmed and bitterly severe against the North. Jn fact, a crisis has been precipitated by this Harper's Ferry business, which must either rally the conservative people of the North to their constitutional obligations and to good neighborhood towards the South, or the noble fabric of the Union will be severed. These are the views of the ablest, most conservative and highest men in Wash- ipgton and throughout the Seuth. ‘Wasmcron, Nov. 19, 1859, The Richmond regiment and Governor Wise arrived at 7 A. M.,, and left for Charlestown in a special train at 10. On arriving there the troops will go into encampment, and remain till after the executions. There is nothing confirmatory of the rumor that a body of armed men has croteed the Ohio. The extra train, with Wise and the First regiment, ar- rived at Harper's Ferry at 4:80. ‘The Petersburg battalian, four companies, arrived here ‘by the boat in the afternoon, and await instructions from the Governor, Roger A. Pryor and the venerable Hugh Pleasants are privates in the Petersburg batallion. OUR RICHMOND DESPATCH. Rictmoxp, Nov. 19, 1859. It is authoritatively stated that the preseut movemé 18 more to quiet the alarmed population of the upper countice, and by the presence of an overpowering force to prevent any futile attempt at rescue, which migh result in bloody work, than from fears of any armed body of men from Ohio or elsewhere. It was known to be Gov. Wise’s intention to order the regiment to Charles- town in a few days, for camp duty, previous to the exe cution, but the prevalence of the groundless alarms tended to accelerate the movement. OUR BALT.MORE DESPATCH. Barmimone, Nov. 20, 1859. Governor Wise was waited upon at the Washington Junction by several officers of the railroad, with whom he conversed quite freely with regard to the excitement. The Governor was understood to say in, response to sug- gestions that the rumors were probably unfounded, that, though he might be regarded as making unnecessary pre- parations for an enemy that might not appear, yet in so grave @ matter, and with the clear and positive evidence in his possession of the existence of an intention and an orgamzation to attempt rescue of the State prisoners, he preferred to have fifty times too mapy men to having one too few, and tho best way, in his judgment, to prevent serious trouble was to fully prepare to meet it. He did not for a moment credit the idea that any armed force would boldly march to the scene to undertake a rescue, but he did believe that bad men were planning an attempt by gathering singly, or in pairs, to be in readiness in case success would seem at all possible. He was informed that the property of three of the jurors who condemned Brown had been burned within the past forty-eighthours, which impreseed him with the conviction that there wore now emissaries or accomplices in the vicinity of Charles- town. Governor Wise further declared that, while it would gratify him to find that no effort at a rescue would be made, and that his visit and attendant preparations were entirely precautionary, yet it would be believed useful to Virginia in the end, as showing the alacrity with which her volunteers responded to a public call, and the cage and promptness with which she could con- centrate them in force to maintain her laws or to repel the violent invasion of her soil. ALARM MOVEMENTS. THE SOUTH 18 READY FOR ACTION. The Savannah Republican, one of the conservative op- the th, replies thus to the for Old Brown's pardon:—On the score ot policy we scorn all such appeals. Let the blood of Brown and bis comrades be the ‘seed’? of the abolition church—let their execution be the “grist” taken by the South to the “Abolition mill,” and let the infernal machinery grind on, the South is able to | Spee herself, and, what is more, she intends to do it. ‘€ are under no obligations to reform the fanatics of the North, Let the North do her own work; we shall do our duty to ourselves. If we cannot rf abolition at the cong! ballot box we are ready to meet it either i courts in the field. ., Ss rare = PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENCE. In Berkeley county, Va., various military companies are forming for public protection. At Martinsburg the Berkeley Border Guards now number 120 members and Will be divided into two companies. At Mill Crock, Darks- ville, Hedgevillo and Falling Waters, in the same county, companies are forming. URGING ON THR SENTENCE. The citizens of Frederick county, Va., have held a meeting and resolutions calling upon Governor Wise to carry out the sentence passed upon Brown aud Associates. ‘THREATENING LETTERS. : The Richmond saya that Governor Wise is still in receipt of vile an pacing letters from the abolition- ists. Wis evident that a spirit of mischief is afoot which demands vigilance at all points. FOREIGNERS AND THE HARPER'S FERRY FORAY. ‘The Winchester Virginian says it is worthy of remark that, though the abolitionists bad been a whole year plot- ting the insurrection at Harper's Ferry, they were unablo to cnliat a single foreign born citizen in their ranks—not one was found among them to share their treason against their raco and naion.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION CAUCUS OF REPUBLI- CANS TO CONSIDER TRE TAMMANY CANDIDATRS— DETERMINATION TO MAKE INDEPENDENT NOMINA- TIONS. A caucus of prominent city republicans was beld at the house of Oakey Hall, on Saturday evening, to consider the subject of nominations to be advanced at the republi- can convention to night. Joseph Hoxie, Juhn a. Kennedy, Oakey Hall, D. D. Conover, W. M. Allen and a number of others attended. Several like meetings were alsoheld for the same object elsewhere through the city on Sat- urday and Sunday evenings. The rvpubbcans are a good deal embarrassed in regard to their Mayoralty ticket. The nominations of Havemeyer and Tilden, at Tammany Hall, were made after a formal understand- ing between certain leaders of both the parties, to the effect that the republicans should endorse the Tammany ticket. Now it appears that those of the republicans who were not go into the arrangement. by the caucus convened at Oakey w make independent nominations. Elsewhere pUrpose appears to prevail among the republicans of all grades, and the idea is that Tammany Hall sokd uD tbe aistributicn of patronage by Mayor Temana, they have now the opportunity for ret ‘Tey object that Tammany Hall has bound iw candidates by proecriptive resulutwns to sustain no other organtzation, avd uplees Havemeyer and Tilden give sume guarantee to deal liberally with the republicans, they not take any consideration of the proposed union with Tammany Hull or ite canuidates.

The project for achain of Parke, extending from Fort Hamitton to Ravenswood, with @ macadamized road connecting the same, which was favorably entertained at the previous meeting, seems to have fallen somewhat into disfavor. T. H. Ropman, Esq , spoke in opposition to the pi contending that if five parks were established, some them would fall into disfavor with the public, and per! only one or two would be really popular with the . ‘The expense to enclose these parks would be greater the cost of enclosing the same quantity of land lying in one F. The interest would be concentrated in one, park, whercas, if 600 acres were secured and divided into five parks, the interest would be divided, and, perhaps, three out of the above number would be n . consequence would be, he coutended, that we would have five shabby parks instead of one handsome park. Ho aigo referred to the expense as ap important matter for consideration, as, thus far, they had not a figure of the probable cost. In allugion to the conflicting interests be- tween the Eastern and Western districts, he contended. that @ plan should be adopted that would sauefy both. This, be thought, could he done by select- ing two parks—one of which he recom- mend to be located at Ridgewood, and. the other on Proepect Hill, neither to exceed 200 acres. This, he thought, would meet all present requirements, and be. satisfactory to both eections of the city. He algo adyo- ane the Selection of a parade ground in addition to these parks. Wa. H. Pscx, Eeq , stated that in his opinion a wide. drive from Fort Hamilton to Greenpoint would obviate the. necessity of large parks, and he therefore s the selection of the North Park at Greenpoint, the at Fort Hamilton, with the Cen Properw, each to occupy 5 ground to contain 100 acres, the Ridgewood Park 26 acres, and the Prospect Hill Park 26 acres, with several other small parks scattered abvut the city. The cost of the whole, estimated from the assessed valuation of the pro- Perty, Would not exceed $450,000. Remarks were made by other gentlemen of the Com- mission, but po two _— to be agreed upon one plan proposed, and the meeting adjourned until evening next, when all the reports will be taken up and discussed under the bead of special order. A Ciex SHave.—The county canvassers have yet two days’ work to do before they will be prepared to declare the official result. On Saturday they completed the chy wards, leaving the county towns still to be counted. Tho vote upon Justice of the Peace for the Fifth district hag ‘been cast up by the candidates, from which it appears that Mr. Birdsall (democrat) hasan apperant majority of two votes. There are several im; ballots, however, for Mr. Walter (republican), which, if allowed, would give bim a majority of two votes. ‘This is pretty close pa when it is Considered that over 20,000 votes were. Row i Front or 4 Cuvrcu.—Thero was considerable excitement yesterday in front of the Pierrepont street Bap- tist church, in consequence of a fight. It appears that a difficulty occurred between Barney McCaffrey and G. J. Hardy, in a barber shop, during the morning. McCaffrey deeming himself unable to whip Hardy, went to Tilary etrvet for his brotber, Thomas McCarey, and Peter Mc- Donough. The toree met Hardy in frontof the church ehortly after, and made the attack. A number of others. took part in the affray, and very soon there was such a. tumult as to attract the attention of the 4 who came running out to see the of the row. ‘The aseailants were eventually seized and held until the arrival of the police, when they were off to the station house.
