To-day the party have been en- gaged in vieiting the ollieries. Mount Canpon, Nov, 21, 1865. After visiting the coal mines the party returned here, and were serenaded. Senator Sherman made a brilliant speech, alluding to the great value of coal both in peace and in war, Governor Ramery, General Simon Cameron, Mayor McMichael, of Philadeiphia, and Mr. Derby, of Boeton, also made epeeches, Senator Sherman was serenaded this evening. Daring the conrse of his speech he said :-— During the war government was compelled to resort to the utmost limits of taxation; but I am happy to my that the business of Congress will be, after securing peace upon the basis of universal liberty, to relieve our- relves taxation no longer necersary. In making this reduction we naturally look to those articies the chief cost of which is low labor. The foundation of wealth is and should be as free from burdens as the air. The cheerfulness with which all clases and occupa- tions bore taxes during the war makes it doubly the duty of Congress to lessen and equalize the taxes now. J confidently anticipate that in a short time the duties on imported goods, a moderate income tax and taxes on Jaxuries will enable us honorably to perform all our obli- gavons. The Sixty-first Anniversary of the New York Historical Society. ‘The eixty-fret anniversary of the founding of the New York Historical Society was celebrated at ite hall Inet evening.

The speaker, in opening his address, reverted to the evente which had transpired since the last meeting of the society. The city of New York had met the obliga: tions which had been laid upon her, and bad sent forth her sons, as many a well fought battle field could testify, to uphold its republican institutions and the supremacy of the federal government, They bad maintained the Priceless integrity of the Union. ‘The project to establish a historical mueenm gees of art has been authorized by the Legislature. special committee was appointed last May to make the neces. sary aod proper artangemente with the commissioners to procure a plan of the contemplated improvements and ‘an estimate of the cost.

Ashort time ago I pointed out the dubiousness of the reports from Matamoros concerning the affairs of our sister republic, Mexico, Since then we have had varied ramors coming from the same source, some of them in favor of the liberals, The capture of Monterey by the Uberal forces certainly gladdened ‘the heart of every lover of constitutional liberty; but this cheering news was somewhat dampened by the false report that the noble and patriotic Juarez had lett El Paso for Piedras Negras, Texas. Some enemy to the liberal cause is ob- viously the author of this malicious misrepresentation of facts, At El Paso, a flourishing and growing city, most,loyal to the republican cause, President Juarez finds ample protection and safety. The glorious Star Spangled Ban- ner proudly floats over Fort Bliss, only a mile from El Paso. Should the patriotic Juarez be compelled by un- foreseen events to temporarily abandon his native land, he could certainly safely do so by simply crossing the Rio Grande,jand remain as Jong as requisite in perfect safety under the protection of our flag at Fort Biles, from which place commanication with the interior of Mexico could readily be had, This is why his enemies are so anxious to make the world believe that he had abandoned this advantageous point. As to hie going to Piedras Negras, Mexico (not Texas, as reported), the report is most ridiculous. Piedras Negras is a small village on the Rio Grande, opposite Fort Duncan, or Eagle Pass. Its population consists mainly of negroes and a few degraded white men, deeperadoes and borse thieves, whose charac- ter is so well known on the Rio Grande. This is certainly the last place which the noble chief would select tor bis headquarters During the Hungarian revolauon, when the patriotic Magyars were on the very eve of gaining their indepen- dence from the tyrannical yoke of Austria, monarchical Russia sent air thousand men to the assistance of the nearly defeated Austrian army, and thus actively as- sisted in bringing the brave Hungarians once more under Austrian rule. And would it not be just, nay, is it not our duty, to give aid to our republican neighbor? This step would be justified by the above and other anteco- dents in the annals of the history of nations. A brave and patriotic people, crippled by long civil strife, strug- gling to wrest their liberties and independence from @ tyrannical usurper, are certainly worthy of more than mpathy, Our mutual relations as sister publics, and commercial intercourse, demand that we should boldly help our sorely troubled friends to re-estab- lish their beloved republic. Twenty thousand veterans under Sheridan would in a very short time reach the city of Mexico without much opposition, and once across the Rio Grande they would be welcomed with open arms, ‘and their ranks would swell day by day as they advanced towards the capital of the Montezumas. This step would also give our Southern brethren a chance to once more stand side by side with their Northern brethren under ‘one flag and for the defence of a common cause and one country. The menacing attitude of certain European Powers against gome of the South American republics, and the ‘course Brazil is at present pursuing in the same direction and with the game objects, should certainly attract the attention of our noxt Congress. We are once more united, and let it be boldly proclaimed to the world that ‘we will not allow any intermeddling of foreign princes in the affairs of any part of this American continent, from pole to pole and from ocean to ocean. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEKN NEW YORK AND MPXI- co CITIES. Mr, Carlos. Clate, who has received important con- Cessions from the imperial government of Mexico, has been in New York city for some time making arrange- ments for the construction of telegraph lines in Mexico. Mr. Clute has associated with bim in this enterprise capitalists in New York and ip Europe. The lines will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible, as all the material for building the same has already been pur- chased in New York city. It is expected that there will be telegraphic communi- cation between New York and the city of Mexico by the Ist day of July, 1866. Brooklyn City News. {RAND JURY PRRSENTMENT.—Tho Grand Jury of Kings county submitted an interesting and important present- ment to the Court of Sessions on Monday, During the month of October and a portion of November they dis- posed of one hundred and ninety-eix cases, having found trae bills for one hundred and thirty criminal cases and thirty-three for selling liquor without license. In the course of their labors they visit- ed the county jail, penitentiary, the county poor house, and the buildings attached thereto, in respect to which they present the following suggestions in regard the county jail, the insecurity of which hasoften been referred to in the columns of the Hxkauy:— In respect to our visit to the county jail, we found on that day the number of prisoners as follows:-—One hundred and thirty males and one hundred and ten females. For this number of prisoners we find but ‘forty cells for the males and eighty-four for the females. In some instances we found from five to seven men in one cell, and in most of the cells for males we found from three to four prisoners, thus giving con. clusive evidence that the male department is inadequate dn its give to is wante, The present building contalping the male prisoners is covered merely with a common shingle roof, which can be reached and cut through with little trouble by any one inclined to do 80, as was proven a short time since, when even of the worst criminals eecaped from {te walls. As regards the fanitary condition of the institution, taking in consideration its want of room, we have every reason to believe that the keepers do all in their power for the health and welfare of its inmater, Particular attention should be called t this buildiny, and we would respectfully suggested that the Board of Supervisors exercive the power vested in them by chapter 307 of the laws of 1848, which is, that the Board of Supervisors have power from time to time, whenever deemed expe- dient, to remove as many prisoners sentenced to the county jail as they may deem necessary from said jail to the penitentiary, and employ them in such labor as the other prisoner may be eng: reducing the expenses of the county and allowing ina great measure the separation of persons accured of crime, who on trial may prove to be innocent, from the contamination of convicted criminals. Another thing in connection with this ia the want of @ house of detection for witnesses, who at present have to be detained in New York city Another suggestion, in case the first not feasible, is that the present building now occa; by the male Prisioners be enlarged by adding another tier, and cover- ing the game with a suitable iron roof.

Tidal Overflow on the North and East Rivers. DAMAGE TO MERCHANDISE. THE STORM ELSEWHERE, ke. &. &e. ‘Yesterday morning old Boreas, who bad for several days ‘been gathering his forces and threatening a descent upon Mother Earth, let fly the turbulent elements upon us and made & regular sortie in this vicinity, the results of which were in a measure disastrous, but, eo far as heard from, not fatal to human life. In Brooklyn, upon the Heights, a few tottering fences ‘were blown down early in the day, and a number of per- sons had their hats sent whirling through the streets in @ manner not at all convenient or comfortable to their Tain-eoaked proprietors. Several ladies came to the Ful- ton and Hamilton avenue ferries at about the same hour, with their wardrobes ina state of remarkable disorder, showing that, however fickle the wind might be in other respects, it was consistent and persistent in its inter ference with humanity, and was no more a respecter of the rights of females than those of the males, Several small trees were uprooted in East New York, but no particular damage was done to other property. ‘That “‘there is always a calm before the storm’? is an adage which has been transmitted to us through a long line of ancestors, and which comes to us daily bearing new proofs of its veracity from all classes and conditions of nature, human and otherwise, But despite the exist- ence of such an adage and the admonition which it conveys, ‘during the calm to prepare for the storm ;”’ despite the knowing and ominous shakes of the head by persons weather wise and other wise, who declared that such fine weather as that of last week could not last long; despite the friendly and timely warning placarded on stringpieces and brick piles to “beware of the north- easter;’’ despite all the experience of the past, the northeaster came and found us almost entirely unpre- pared to meet it. The northeaster, however, was not satisfied with its own abilities to annoy and destroy, 60 it called to ite.aid an element which has ever been re- garded, and justly, as a good servant, but a bad master, and which, propelled and impelled by one of those condi- tions of nature which “wait for no man,” made, Rot am descent, but a rise into the cellars and basements of our own and the neighboring cities, the owners of which have been so regardless of the proper compass of the domains of Old Nep’s tribu- taries as to attempt to keep them forever from enjoying that which was once wholly their own. It is not a great many years since the bowsprits of the ship- ing along the North river reached over the roofs of the 1u8e8 OD Greenwich street, as they now do on West street; but the growth of our city and the increase of commercial mtercourse have gradually, yet rapidly, compelled the enlargement of the business portion | ‘Our motropolie, and in obedience to the demands of the necessities of the times the realms of Old Nep’s clans- men have been invaded, and Washington and West streets have successively appeared as additional lairs to the Island of Manhattan. Yesterday those residing or doing business in the immediate vicinity of the North and East rivers were alarmed and spurred to action by THE RISING OF THE TIDB, which was observed about eight o'clock A. M. as bein, something extraordinary—docks and piers became suf- fused, boxes and barrels, planks and platforms, and ‘lmoat everything moveable in the neighborhood of the rivers were washed from ponitions and drifted hither and 3 less of any rules of decorum or of theanxiety of their owners; but this was not the worst—-the water seemed not content to remain within the limite laid out in accordance with the laws and ordinances of the State and city, but visited the es- tablishments of those whose forethought had led them to prepare for such emergencies, and, in some cases, thove whose remoteness from the ordinary course of the surrounding rivers had warranted them in feeling com- poaney safe. But, despite the precautions which many J taken to render their buildings waterproof, and the feelings of safety entertained by others, 'a large amount of property was mercilessly destroyed. Along West street, Washington street and many of the streets leading to the North river the water rore in the base- ments to the height of from one to four feet. At the Northern Hotel, foot of Cortlandt street, the water was almost level with the top of the bar counter, and tables and chairs floated around in most glorious confuston. ‘Most of those who have suffered more heavily than others have been go busily engaged in bailing and pumping the water out of their basements ag to be unable to deter- mine the amount of injury they have sustained. At prer 23 North nver te deck load of a boat, consisting chiefly of apples in ls, was washed away and completely destroyed. Many of the wretched hovels in the lower part of Washington street, in the basements of which sometimes three or four families are huddled, are visitod the tides in a greater or jee degree annually in the ing, When the occupants are compelled to seck shelter eivowhere. It may readily be imagined, then, how great must be the suffering of those miserable beings when the tide reached a height yesterday greater than it bad attained in some eighteen years. In fine, all those who had property of any value stored in basements in the vicinities above mentioned have euffered more or lens; but it would be useless to Individualize where the suffer ing has been #0 general. ‘On South street, East river, all the cellars were more or Jess filled, In some were seen barrels, kegs and boxes of goods floating upon the surface. Men were engaged in bailing and pumping up toa tate hour, cases were successtil in clearing out the © Fulton Market the tide rove to a great height a the basements, but not doing any particular damage, ex cept causing a sudden cessation of business. The street cars were up w the axies in the water, but managed to “plough through the briny waves” to their destination. Apple stalls were sent floating about in search of owners. Many were the ludierous incidents noticed when the tide ‘was at ite height. One poor old woman whose apple stall had beceme unmoored was seen to wade out and bring it safely to dry land, amidst the langhter and cheers of the ainesed epectatorn The damage to the shipping was not ory eeriuus, except the chafing against the piers Sev- eral boats were unioosed from their moorings higher up tho river, and wore seen floating past ino the bay; many, however, wero subsequently recovered. For the past two days the fishing smacks and small ‘veenels have bad sufficient warning of the approaching ftorm, and accordingly made for home as quickly as possible. During the whole of Monday afternoon fishing smacks were coming into the harbor for shelter, and were consequently safe from the eflects of the storm. Along the Jersey rbore, opposite the city, the tide was the hig! that bas ever beep known within the memo- Ty of the oldest inhabitant. In Jersey City the base- mnents and cellars Hodson street, and as high up as Greene, which is one biock above, were completely flooded yesterday morning, and in the saloons the water reached to within a few incbes of the tops of the count- ers. Along the line of the river the docks were almost entirely apd in some instances started from their pile fou ‘and partially torn up. All the factories and milla in the yr part of the city aud along the entire water front were flooded and the fires ex- tinguished. In nearly all of these establishments work hae ceased, and cannot be resumed until the tide sub- sides, The same effect was visible in Hoboken, and in both places many of the inbabitants have been ‘drowned out.” Ip some instances even entire buildings are afloat, Kn «bb wipes ea tena but many of the joading and unloading at the wharves and piers beve been compelled to haul int tho stream ‘and seek an anchorage.

OUR MONTREAL CORRESPONDENCE. Monrreat, Nov. 20, 1865, The arming and posting of the militia on the frontier are still the two things of interest here. Ageneral order has been issued from headquarters, Ottawa oity, of which I give you a copy below:— Heapguarrers, Orrawa, November, 1865. 1, His Excellency the Administrator of the’ Govern- ment and Commander.in-Chief haying had under con- sideration the possibility that raids or predatory incur- sions on the frontier of Canada may be attempted during the winter by persons ill-disposed to her Majesty’s gov- ernment, to the prejudice of the province and the annoyance and injury of her Majesty’s subjects therein; and, being ‘impressed with the import- ance of aiding her Majesty’s troops in repelling such attempts, and, for that purpose, of placing a por- tion of the volunteer force on active service, his Excel- lency directs.that one volunteer company bé called out for service for'as long a period as may be thought neces- sary by his Excellency from eactt of the following placea, ‘viz:—Quebec, Montreal, Port Hope, Hamilton, We and London, 'The companies so cailed out to be stationed ‘at such places as his Excellency the Lieutenant General commanding shall direct. And that the said volunteer force shall, during the time that it remains on active service, be placed under the command of his Excellency Lieutenant General" Sir John Michel, commanding her Majesty’s forces in British North America; that it shall be subject to the Queen’s regulations and orders for the army, tothe Rules and Articles of War, to the act for punishing mutiny and desertion, and to all other laws now applicable to her Majesty’s troops in this province a pinonoblaiens with the acts respecting the volunteer i 2. The rates of pay of the force so called out for ser- viee aro fixed for the below mentioned ranks respectively as follows :— To save space I will only mention that payment has been assimilated to the United States system, officers re- ceiving a commutation for allowances, and the men re- ceiving twenty-five cents per day, with rations, quarters, &c. This pay to the men—$7 50 per month—is equal to about $10 in greenbacks, or $6 per month less than the pay of @ United States soldier. 3. The officers in command of the different posts where the above named volunteer companies may be stationed shall receive all orders from the Lieutenant General com- manding, and make all reports direct to such officers as the Lieutenant General may appoint, with the exee) tion of matters relating to finance and promotion, whic! aro to be referred directly to the Adjutant General of wilitia, 4. His Excellency calls on all officers in command of volunteer cerps in Canada to complete their numbers, and to hold themselves, with their respective corps, in readiness for actual service, and to march at a moment’s notice to such places as may be indicated to them. ‘The last order (No. 4) of his Excellency reads sharp and warlike, and is causing some excitement among the young men. A battalion of rifles (about five hundred strong) went west to-day, and there will be other movements in a few days, The’ spirit of pugnacity among the young men rather increases, while most of the elder ones prefer to may in the rear to “organize victory.” jur Indian summer has passed away, and now we have snow and a leaden sky. A Fenian Hoax. [From the Montreal Gazette, Nov. 20.] A despatch was received in town yesterday from a malicious fabricator of canards, stating that an armed company, supposed to be Fenians, had paraded the streets of Derby Line village, in Vermont, immediately con- tiguous to St Plain, in Canada, We learn that ‘this is a company of State militia, or State volunteers in the United ‘States army, sent by the United States gov- ernment to repress smuggling St. George's Church to be Restored. IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE PEWHOLDERS AND REMARKABLY ENERGETIC ACTION-—FIFTY-TWO THOUBAND DOLLARS RAISED IN TEN MINUTES, ETC., ETC. The powholdere of St. George’s church (Rev. Dr. ‘Tyng’s) met in their chapel building on Monday night, in pursuance of previous notification, to consider the affaire Of the parish, and particularly its requirements in view of the recent destruction of their church edifice by fire. The rector, Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, D. D, was chosen to preside, and Mr. Samuel Hopkins ected as secretary. ‘There was a very large attendance of the pewholders, among whom are included several of the moet intelli- gent, substantial and respectable residents of our city. ‘The proceedings were opened with prayer. The Rey. Dr. Tyng submitted to the mecting a printed slip, which he had caused to begrepared for use on the occasion, embodying the following propositions relative to the history and present condition of St. George's chureb :-— 1. In March, 1846, the vestry of #t. Gcorge’s church determined to erect ‘a new church in the upper part of the city. 2. Al that time they were in possession of thirty lots of land in the lower part of the city, valued by a commit twe of the vestry at $183,000. 3. They subsequently received about $45,000 for pews sold in the new churel 4. They erected ther church, rectory and chapel at a cost of about $340,000. 5. The whole of this cost wa lots above referred to and the the sale of the 7. They retained from their lots, and the proceeds of their lots, $100,000, to be kept permanently inverted, as an endowment for the support of the ministry of the church, 8. The pew rents were fixed at a lc rate than in any of the ta 9. The net pew rents re seventeen years $10, 10.

To rebuild the chareh on its present location, this insuranee ts the whole sum within the control of the cor poration. 14. The vost of restoration of this church on its present location would be probably not short of from $150,000 to 15.’ In rebuilding the church here, or elsewhere, two postulates are to be assumed as binding :— Firsi—That the endowinent of $100,000 must not be expended or diminmbed for building. Seomd—That no debt must be left on the new building to absorb the future income of the charch by its interest and extinction, or to harass and destroy the power and energy of the church for usefulness by ite bondage and anxiot 16. In any plans of rebuilding two questions arise tor settlement :-— First—Sball we build again on this location, or shall we remove? Second—If we rebuild bere, shall we restore the church io consistency with ‘its former aspect, allowing only such modifications of the interior ag may be found desirable or expedient for convenience or economy? 17. During the interval of building, while worsby in other places which may be found will the pewholders consent to the assens- ment and collection of the same pew rents as they have been accustomed to pay, for the support of the ministry apd worship of the congregation? The foregoing statement having been circulated and also read, remarks and suggestions were called for—a call which was responded to by Judge Vanderpoel, Mr. Kirkland and several o\hers, and it was at length voted, on motion of Charles P. Kirkland, that the sense of the meeting was favorable to rebuilding St. George's chorch on its present site, Statements were next made, on authority of the architect of the church, relative to the cost of rebuilding, and two estimates were submit- ted—one to replace the former church at a cost of $135,000, and another contemplating extensive changes in material, &c., for which an outiay of $196,000 would be required. Tt was agreed, with great unanimity, that the former structure should be exactly replaced, at o cost, exclusive of belle, e¢lock and organ, of the minimum sum of $120,000. Jt was likewise voted that while temporarily occupying other quarters for the public services of the church the pewholders will subject themselves to the eame assese- mente for sustaining the institution of the parish as here. tofore. A subscription wae opened on the and in Jone time than it takes to write thit account the full sum of $52,000 (being $12,000 in excess of the amount needed, with the Insurance money, to replace the church) was pledged, with great entliusiagm, by thove who wore present, while several of the most opulent bers of the congregation wero absent, and will undoubtedly add largely to the aggregate, A committee of seven of the most energetic gentiemon in the society were appointed to eolicit further subscriptions; and ai about c the ening atesae page of ume te acco much work in the same spage of Ume as any like gather- ing ever held. ae es iti Se Jadicial Appointments in Vermont.

GRANT. Visit of the Lieutenant General to the Post Office and Balling’s Studio, HIS DEPARTURE FOR WASHINGTON. No Public Ovation in Conse- quence of the Storm. &ec. &e. &e. General Grant left this city for Washington last even- ing, accompanied by his staff. In consequence of the storm no public ovation took place, and the GeneraB quietly drove to Jersey City, taking the six o'clock train for Washington, Several calls were made upon the dis- tinguished soldier during the afternoon previous to hia departure, VISIT TO THE POST OFFICE. Among the ovations which have been tenaerea to General Grant during his stayin the city none were more creditable than the one given yesterday morn- ing by the employes of the Post Office. By the invita- tion of Mr. James Kelly, the New York Postmaster, the General promised to view the establigment at un o'clock in the forenoon, Accordingly the church look- ing structure was set off as advantageously as poksibie, No effort or expense being spared in decorating it for the occasion. The end of the building was hung with the Stars and Stripes, and around it were placed in promi- nent positions the names of Generals Canby, Lyons, Hooker, Sigel, Sickles, Admiral Farragut, and Generals Kearny, Smith, Stoneman, Weitzel, Meade, Ord, Sher- man, Sheridan, Burnside, and last, though not least, the name of Lieutenant General U. 8. Grant. The Postmas- ter’s room was also dressed up in fine style, the name of Grant being placed conspicuously at one extremity, guarded on each side by two beautiful flags. Long before the arrival of the distinguished personage every one connected with the establishment was on the qui vive and anxiously awaiting his appearance. “Hero he is,” exclaimed some one, as some unknown ind!- vidual came in and walked up the aisle, the observed of all observers, “There he goes!” was the cry, as some Jetter carrier made his entree. At eleven o’clock the General arrived, accompanied by Colonel Hillyer, without the fact being known to any of the employes, until announced by the superin- tendent, Mr. 0. H, Collin, The General was received by the Postmaster, Mr. James Kelly, in his private offlct, after which he was eecorted to the.balcony, in view of the employes, where Postmaster Kelly introduced him in the following brie? ‘but happily worded little speech :— SPEECH OF MR. JAMBA KELLY. Gextiemen o” THe Post Orrice—On your behalf and in my ewn I tender our heartfelt thanks to General Grant for the kind consideration he has wanifested in coming here to allow you to pay your respects. These men have not the opportunities of leisure which most other citizens possess; they could not, in consequence of the nature of their duties, go even as far as Broadway to see the General, Of the four hundred and tk or five hundred men employed in the New York Post Office, at least one-third, have fought under Lieutenant General Grant. There are many here, some with only one arm and many with only one leg, who have fought bravely on the battle field. And I believe one of the greatest pleasures they ever in their lives enjoyed is in being able to yrect to-duy the man who has done so much for the Union, and who ig the greatest captain of the age. GENERAL GRANT'S RESPONSE. General Graxt replied :-— Mr. Ketiy—I return my thanks for this demonstration on my behalf fram the gentlemen of the Post Otlice of the city of New York. Accept my gratitude. ‘The company gave three tremendous cheers, and then, ascending tn regular order upon the platform, #hock hands with the General, in the performance of which act they all appeared much gratified. Refreshments were then served out to the General ane suite, after which he took his departure. VISIT TO MR. BALLING'S STUDIO. General Grant, accompanied by Colonel Hillyer and Major General Thomas C, Devens, yesterday vivited the studio of Mr. H. Balling, room No. 14 Clinton Hall, Mr. Baling has been for the past year employed upon a large painting, ‘The Heroes of the War,” including Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Hooker, Meade, &c.
