The steamship Hibernian, from Liverpool on Thurs- . ads April 19, via Londonderry April 20, passed Father oint yesterday evening, en route to Quebec. The news by the Hibernian is two days later than the ‘Boport of the Alemania, which appeared in the Henanp yyeaterday morning, soon after the arrival of the vessel at this port. ‘The English Parliamentary proceedings on the 18th of ‘April wore unimportant. ‘The House of Commons was still debating the Reform ill when the Hibernian sailed. ‘The London Shipping Gazelle of the 17th of April con- Qains the following, which indicates something very like @ Chilean privateer :— Report of the Zanga, Jerrett, ot Liverpool, from Cal- Jao:—Spoke ship Santa Anna, of Havre, steering south- wrest, Fob. 12, lat. 27 20, lon.'42; crew appeared to bo ‘aumorous, some of whom were engaged in endeavoring me er (he ship’s name by throwing a sallover the rn, bt, not doing it effectually, we discovered her In answer to our colors she hoisted the American She presented a very suspicious appearance.

German advices continued to be more reassuring, and there was a growing belief in peace. A Vienoa telegram of the 15th of April ssye:—Bava- Wortemburg, Saxony, Baden and Darmstadt are e uite united on the German and federal question. Shouta war occur they would all be on the side of Aus- tria. Their agreement encourages the hope that peace wiil not be disturbed. The Kerlin correspondent of the London Times says Count Bismark has repeatedly tendered fis resignation g@ithin the last few days, but bas been unable to obtain the sanction of the King to bis withdrawal. The modi- fication of the Cabinet will probably be accelcrated by the Emperor of Austria having informed the Emperor of French thal, under certain circumstances. he would not object to lay the quesiion of the duchies before an Furopean Congress. ‘The writer says most positively that no concentration (y 9f troops has taken place in any part of Prussia, and that thore is not a (race of any measure capable of being construed as aggressive. Peace meetings continued to be held in the large towns throughout Prussia, ‘The text of the Prossian reply to the Austrian do- spatch of the 7th of April is published. It dwells especially on the admitted movements of Ausirian troops on the Prossian frontier, by which Prussia was Jed to take defensive measures, and says if Count Mensdorff, afer the Emperor had passed bis word that no aguression was Intended by Austria, still continues military preparations, it cannot be expected that Prus- Sia—an equally clioar denial of hostile intentions baving deen given by the King—should relinqu.sh those defen sive measures which were called forth by the attitude of Austria. ‘The Prussian answer to England's remonstrance is said to be cold and hanghty. The Austrian answer say#:—Austria does not ask an inch of land in the duchies, nor will she accept it. Prus- sia wishes to annex the duchies, and Austria is bound to support the rights of the Schieswiz-Holstein people. She ‘will pot dictate to them; bat requires that the will ef the people aud of the Diet should be respected.

PASSAGE OF THE MEASURE OVER THE VETO—RNG- LISH OPINION OF THE ASSUMPTIONS OF CON- GRESS. (From the London Times, April 18.) So important are the questions at issue between the American President and C ngress, 80 absorbing is the ronfict, that matters of foreign policy are for the time nimost disrogarded. There ty less indignation to be red for the occupation of Mexico and the wrongs of the fugitive Juarez; even the chance of a dispute with Enaland on the const fisheries does not seem to excite ‘the combative spirit of the country. Hardly in the amidst of the war were the American people more fully engaged in their own domestic politics, and hardly then ‘were they ot ter moment, The proclamation of President Johnson, which declares that peace is restored dn the Southern States, and that they have again entered be Union with all their rights and on a perfect equality ‘with those of the North, must give employment to the po- Jiucal energy of the country for a long time to come, Wiewed ‘in the light of reason and humanity the Presi dent's proclamation deserves all praise; viewed as a po- Hitical manifesto it must be judged by the success it pbtains. It is hardly possible to deny the doctrines which the President enunciates, The war was undoubt- adiy waced, as he says, to maintain the Union with all the dignity and equality of the rights of the States unim paired, avd it is equally undeniable that ax soon as these Dbjects were accomplished it ought to cease, The Presi- dent's opinions respecting standing armies, military oc- erpation, martial law, military tribunais and enepension he habeas corpus wil! hardly be controverted by any pease politician. But though Mr. Johnson is said Ro have the public opinion of the North on his side, aa he wndou' edly hae that of Europe, though bis policy has calied (nto existence @ strong feeling of gratitude and admiration among the Southerners oogh now swenk and fallen, must one day be powerfol friends to any statesman they support, yet it Is evident that Con. tees 14 bilterly hostile, and that its leaders will shrink From no measures to ‘carry out their own policy, sad twill ‘ + thwart, if they cannot punish, their adversary be soon [rom our intelligence of to-day that the Senate how paseed the Civil Rights bill over the President's veto by « majority of 33 to 15, It is almost certain that the Fi cuse of Representatives will do the same. Thie mea- whch the President argued against so energetically bioquently, will, theretore, soon be law.

So far as Cong,"ess can the Southern states, _,unreprononted and ,betd by military force, shall be gor as directly from Washington as if they were in the condition of Torrtories—<nay, even more so, for the law of « Territory must be obeyed by its inhabitants, while in every Southern State there will be @ power di: ing with the local statutes, and even pun- fishing jence © them. A democratic member of the seuale declares that its enforcement will lead to war, bloodshed and division. Whether this prediction will be realized, and the power of tho majority resisted any- where by force, it is needless to speculate, but this much is certain—that bitter animosities must be excited by such a use of superior strength, The character of the bill cannot be better described than in the message with whieh the President accom- panied his veto, The general goverament does certatnly absorb and assume powers which destroy the federal system, and break down the ‘barriers preserving the rights of the States, The bill is a stride (wards cen- trali.ation and the encentratin of the legislative in the owernment, The tendency of the bill isto resuscitate the spirit of rebellion, and arrest the progress of those influences which are drawing more closely round the States the bonds of union and peace. These assertions are undeniable, and the extreme republicans would, perhaps, uot care to deny them. They would simply say that the necessity of the cave bade Congress assume powers which, though not given by the constitu- tion, were essential for the national welfare; that con- centration of authority was indispensable after a great war; and that as to the discontent of the Southerners, Pa overt display of it must simply be repressed by force. Assuming that the Civil Rights bill will pass into law the anxiety of the American public and of the world will be directed to the action of the President. Mr. Johnson is the elected of the people as much as Congress is; he is the ehief of the executive, or rather he comprises th executive in himself; he is immovable for nearly three years longer, and durlug that time he has complete com- mand of the military force by which alone the Civil rights act can be enforced. Except by impeachment, Congress cannot effectually control him in any course which is within the limits of his authority. He knows this, and he also knows how far he may venture on using his powers negatively to provent the enforcement of the act. H may bo that the Fresident has not public opinion at the North so much on his side as is believed by some of his friends, Though the Atlantic cities are, for the most part, enthu- siastic in his favor, yet throughout the States, and notably im the West, the republican = 18 most power- ful, and is likely ‘to remain so. ‘There is probably steady set of the tide in favor of the President, but it will take time for this movement to bring to his side a clear majority of the people, and to enable him to with- stand the action of Congress. We may then watch his proceedings with interest, and observe how far he aids or permits the action of the machinery which this act will shortly establish in every Southern State. It must be remembered that the act will give the district courts of the United States exclusive cognizance of all offences com- mitted against its provisions, and concurrent jurisdiction with the eircuit courts of the United States in all civil and criminal cases affecting negroes who are dented thelr new rights in the courts of the State, According to Presi- dent Jounson’s interpretation of the measure, “Mem- bers of a State Legislature who should vote for lays con- flicting with the provisions of the bill, Judges of the Siate Court who should render judgments in antagonism with its terms, aa marshals and sheriffs who should gxecute procesths shnotignt uws and issued by as JU hog in oggaution, of tps judgments could be Ought Hater’ other trikynals and there sul fine and imprisonment for the performance of the duties which such State laws might impose.” e assume that Mr. Johnson will, as Chief of the Executive, give as little assistance as he can to a law which thus invades the judicial power of every Southern State, Yet, on the other hand, he may not think it constitutional to nullify such a law by any overt act. His course most likely will be to leave those who have made the law to enforce it, if they can, against the will of the population, and to non himself neutral in disputes which are not of his making.

LUSHINGTON, ‘TRE GIBRALTAR, OTHERWISE SUMTER, This was asuit on behalf of the government of she United States of America as plaintiff to obtain possession of this vessel, The vessel had been purchased in the ear 1861 by the then government of the Confederate itaies of Ainerica, and, having been armed and other- wise equipped, proceeded to sea and cruised im the West Indigs sud glsewhore, and captured divers vessels be- longing fo subjects of the Unitéd States. In the month of January, 1862, she put into the port of Gibraltar, where she was sold to Melchoir George Klingender, who subsequently employed her in ranning the blockade, in which service she continued until the close of the war, when, having put into Live I, she was arrested in this suit. No appearance had been entered on behalf of any person as owner to dispute the right of Cerone] and the usual notices having been given, the Court was now moved to decree sion of her to the plaintiffs.

Asimilar suit has also been instituted against this vessel, but the cause is defended and still undetermined, andeehortly after its institution a second suit was com: mene-d to obtain payment for ropes aud other supplies furnished to, the vessel, and in the second suit the de- fendants, the American government (who are,tho plain- tiff's in the suit for possession), had pleaded substan? tially the same allegations upon which they rely in tht pleadings in the other suit, ~~ . Mr. Pritchard moved the Court to direct that as there were in effect the same averments in both suits, the sult for necessarios should be suspended till after the de- cision in the previous cause, The Admiralty Advocate, Mr. Brett, Q.

The Court was of opinion that inasmuch as the appli- cation was opposed, the Court had no right to enforce a suspension of the euil, unless such a course were re- quired by the circumstances of the case, which could acarcely be said in the present instance.

The Worrell sisters, who have achieved a reputation on ho Pacific coast, made their bow to a metropolitan audi- ence at Mr. Geo. Wood's theatre, opposite the St. Nicholas Hotel, last evening, A bill composed of comedietta and burlesque was produced to one of the best houses of the season. Miss Jennie Worrell sustained the character of Nan, the Good for Nothing, in the light and sparkling play of that name, and made a very favorable impres- sion. She was su Messrs. G. C. Davenport and Welsh Ed But tho feature of the evening was the 5] ular extravaganza which followed, enti- tled The Elves, or the Statue Bride, by Charles Selby, in which were the three sister Sophie, Irene and Jennie Worrell, the first named poag dein the Statue; the eec- ond as Princé Lubin, and the third as Phillis, a miller’s daughter. Although evidently iaboring under the ner- yousness of a first appearance, heightened by the knowledge that their support was anything but perfect in some of its most necessary parts, they were quite well received and favored with a number of bouquets. Had the ballet been better their debut might have been more cheering. As it was they recel' applause which they richly deserved. The p! in itself is not ex ingly absorbing in inte at abounds in pleasing incidents, rather apeine: eaux, some fine groupings and one or twoa! situations, and is sufti- ciently replete with dancing, sing ne and transformations to redeem it and render it a palatable piece even for the New York public, The Worrell sisters were given effi- cient aid in its presentation oy Miss Lucia Deane, Madame Strebenger and Messrs, fMingwell, Davenport and Edwards, The ballet corps, excepting the premier: danseuse, was not eminently’ praiseworthy, but the spirited acting, dancing and singing of Misses Sophie and fennie Worrell redeemed its shortcomings and made the ee entertainment exceedingly enjoyable. These ‘oung ladies were several times: and also brought fore the curtain between the acts. @ Elves will be given again to-night and at the matinee to-morrow after- noon. BROADWAY THEATRE. Miss Adah Isaacs Menken made her debut at this house last night to inaugurate a season of twenty-four nights, The reputation which she acquired in England no doubt contributed to fill the theatre to overtlowing. There was a very large crowd present, mostly of the male portion of the community, the ladies being few and far between. Miss Menken, in her gorgeous costume during one portion of the play and her démi-nude attractions in other parts, created somewhat of a sensatton, which was rather noisily demonstrated during the evening, Miss Menken does not possess in a remarkable degree the grace which 1s éSsential fo a Md pantominaist, ited with a very poor voice and afilicted with a decidedly b delivery and pronunciation, she is compelled to depend igee aoa we ani for such effects as ahe uly mak they are few. The nn. teed aoed Te tno Leadlfig ciarafige t WSs pioce, and Te may not be regarded as a slight to the other portormers to say that he played the part of a weil trained wild ani . y, We need not kay, abounds jeanx, for hothing elee ig aimed at in its ‘construc- tion; and the first tableau must be credited to the horse, whose simulated wildness as he rears and prances, greatly to the dismay of the supernumeraries, is highly eflective. In the limited space which the stage affords, it was quite marvellous to see how carefully he avoided doing any mischief, until he got clear up to the top of the stage with bis fair burden, Miss Monken and tho horse being the principal features of the performance, it is unnecessary to say anything of the subordinate parts, excopt that they provoked good deal of mirth from a very good natured audience. Masical. SACRED CONCERT AT IRVING HALL. Every Sunday evening since these popular entertain ments'commenced this hall has been ctowded to excess. The selection of artists and pieces so far has been yuex- ceptionable, On last Sunday evening Mra. Marie Abbott, the distinguished soprano, sang an exquisite air by Gou- nod, with organ and plano accompaniment. The duet, “When I know thou att near me,” by Franz Abl, was acceptably rendered by her and Mr. 8. C. Campbell. Mr. Jules Lumbard sang Passallio’s “ Fall of Zion.’’ This ntieman possesses a bass voice which with careful and practice might rank with that of Lablache or Formes. His rendering of the “Pall of Zion’ brought out the latent powers of his voite in the fulles! manner, The Cujus Animam, from Rossini's Siabat Mater, was ao trying test for Mr. Castle, but he went through it pretty fairly. The otber noticeable pieces sung were Mr. Campbell's “Jewish Maiden,” one of Kiucken’s best compositions, and a male trio by Rossini, Mr. Morgan, as usual, drew on Bach, Donizetti and other great mas- tors for his orzan xelections. Tie grand toceata of the former composer ix Mr. Morgan's piece de resistance, and displays his peculiar style more forcibly than even his fantasias and overtures. The fourth sacred concert takes place on Sunday next. MISS KLLA MELVILLE’S CONCERT. This lady, assisted by «a number of her pupils and some amateur singers, gave a concert at Dodworth Hall last night. The programme was an alarming one, com prising nearly thirty vocal pieces. A good many of those were comic, and very well sung, but the senti mental ones were in a great measure either incompre- hensible or deewedly funny. Miss Moiville formed an exception to the latter class, for she gave some little songe by Tully and Barnett in a pleasing if not artistic manner. She has an excellent voice, but it requires more fnieh and command before she can rank among American artists, Messre. Keenan and Hill were the pianists. As they played nothing but salon music we could not determine the merit of their claims as artists and professors. Mr. George Guy {s @ very good comie singer, but Russell's “Ship on Fire’ is entirely beyond his powers. Little Daniel Boone and faraily aiforded th Most amusement at the concert. Hix addr, perance and comic songs showed a wonderfy of talent. Miss Melville may acquire distin soprano if she cultivates her voice more thoronchly Her pupils, cousidering their age, acquitted thenmelves very well. A NEW STYLE OF SACRED CONCERT. Om Sanday pight the Fifth Avenue Opera Hones wae crowsed in consequence of advfrtivements and billie stating thet a grand sacred concert, with distingniehed musicians, single und double glee clubs, grand orchestra of thirty-five solo artista, all en regi, was to come off under the direction of W. Florence, Jr- When t pointed hour arrived Mr. Florence could not be* por were the musicians paid. Accordingly there was no performance, and the audience were astoninhed to see violing, violoncellos and double bases dieny ing down the stairs of the Opera House, instead of being on the stage. Considerable commotion, approaching almost to a row, war the con- sequence Thinking themselves vietime to a “ sell,’ Many irate persous congregated around the ticket office and vented their indwnation on an unlucky individ they found there. Threats were used against the alley defauiter, Florence, and the money paid at the ticket office wae demanded back in no very gentle terme, The aforesaid individual occupied for some time the anen. viable position of being a centre of attraction or rather a target for the entire amemblage He protested in vain that he knew nothing of Mr, Florence's financial matters, but be was pinned ap in a corner by afew itascible Tentons, who, in the sonorous age of tatheriand, intimated to him the possibility of their instituting « Lynch tribunal op the affur Ae this was not on the stated programme of the evening, he voriferously objected to any such trial, and asented them he had no part in the alleged swindl Afver some time the excitement quieted down, and the aud ence departed without hearing any of the eingle or double glee clube, thirty solo artieta, or other mosieal attractions. The following card is from the proprietér of the Fifth Ave nue Opera Honse — To THE EMTOR OF THE HERALD, The sacred concert advertised by Mr. Wm. Florene Jr, director, to take place last evening at the Fifth Ave- ane Opera House, did not come off, owing to the non pay ment of the masicians, The proprietors of the building had nothing whatever to do with the concert, except to rent the Opera House to Mr. Florence, who also failed to pay bis rent, Parties who bought tickets at the box office can have them redeemed by presenting said tieaut= at the office to the janitor of the building.
