We spread before our readers this morn- ing another interestime European budget of Heratp special despatches by the Atlantic cable, The p ominent features of this inte!li- gence are the Queen’s speech on the proroga- tion of the British Parliament and the demand mae upon Prussia by Lous Napoleon in rete- rence to the resonstruction of Germany. The Queen of England expresses her thanks to the government of the United States for its «ficient neutrality in the suppression of the late Fenian movements for the conquest of Canada, and she rejoices in the suecess of the great enterprise of the Atlantic efble. This royal recognition of the good services of our gov- ornment in the rigid fulfilment of its neutral obligations is somewhat important, as indi- cating anew departure by England touching her relations with this country. It justifies the conclusion that President Johnson, in order to secure a satisfactory settlemont, has only to recall the attention of her Majesty's Minister of Foreign Affairs to those unsettled claims arising from the depredations on our com- merce, during the late Southern rebellion, of such English built, English equ'pped and En;- lish manned rebel cruisers as the Alabama and Shenandoah. We would therefore again sug- gest to the administration an explicit demand, without further delay, for the indemnities justly due in consequence of those depredations, be- cause England is now disposed to be grateful, and because in all euch cases delays are dan- gerous, and a prompt and earnest prosecution of the case is the only way to gin it. The demand of Louis Napoleon upon Prus- sia is, that in the reconstruction of Germany France must have her old imperial boundary of the Rhine. Such a requisition upon Count we find that while Napoleon is reminding Prussia that the great changes brought about in the political organization of Germany neces MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1866. at Berlin. It revives the iasue between the | The Philadelphin Convention-Its Dety to the imperial programme of Napoleon the ¥'rst and the old Holy Alliance by which he was pul down; and while this question remains unsettled the pacification of Europe will be delayed. Meantime it appears that in regard to Venetia there isa perfect understanding be- tween Italy and France, an assurance which we are not disposed to question, inasmuch aa the young kingdom of Taly is the creation and the ward of Napoleon, From the despatch from Florence of the 9th instant we learn that an armistice was expected between the [talians and Austrians on the 11th, which our London despatch of the latter date informs us has been agreed to upon the basis of thé cession of Venotia to Tialy. France will surely yei her compensation in the Istana of Sardini, Sicily, or something else, and thus in the South, at least, the game of Napolooa may be con- sidered a complete success, Austria, in all ¢his business, bas been the dupe of Nepoleon and the victim of Bismarck. What compensation she is to bave for her ex- clusion from the affairs of Germany, her spo- liation on the Adriatic, and her humiliation in the inpperial Me xiean adventure gf Maximilian as the servant of Napoleon, has still to be made known, It is probable, however, that Napo- leon will graciously pee his influgnoe in d¢ehalt of an extension eastward of the bounduries of Francis Joseph ; but here the Czaz of Russia may interpose with another warning. On the Rhine and on the Danube are the difficulties of a rectification of the Earopean equilibrium, which m:y not be solved without a European conference or a continental war, involving all the great Powers and overwhelming all the emaller Siales, Phe Police Comminsioners, the Wetectives and the Thieves. The Police Commissioners heye ondertaken fo accomplish a revolution in their dealings wiih thieves and pickpockets, which, if they cacry out firmly and efficiently, the public will have cause to be grateful for. It is notorious that fora long time past no one was saie in travelling on our city railvonds, omaibuses or ferries who had a pocketbook worth stealing ora watch worth absiracting. Not one case in a thousand of robbery in this line wa# ever reported, and people came by habit quiclly to submit to the guerilla system which prevailed aimost universally. No one thought ot appeal.ng to the police, for the opinion gene- rally prevailed that the police were “in the ring;” and the recent developments in the de- fective dopartment of the force only prove that the public were corvect in their estima- tion of the efficiency of that branch of the police establishmout. Certain discovories at | headquarters implicating the mombers of the | detective police in complicity with criminals have resulted in the order to supersede the detective force and piace the management of that department in the hauds of the Deputy | Superintendent. So fur so good. New brooms sweep olean, The recent order to arrest notorious pickpockets and shop- lifters is very good. It will probably insure to our citizens and strangers from the country the comparative safety of their pocketbooks on the city cars and ferryboats, and this will be something gained. But it seems rather strange that it wes only when the defalca- tions of the detectives were discovered that the Police Commissioners appexr to have beca made aware of the extent to which the system of robbery upon our lines of travel was car- ried. The public, however, have had sad ex- perivace of that system, for they were fleecod day and night on the railroad cars, sometimes by the adroitness of the pickpockets—often by the use of force. We have known cases when one portion of the gang would obstruct the entrance of a passenger intoa car, while their confederates on the platform were rifling the victim’s pockets. This, we need hardly say, was highway robbery; but as far as the inter- vention of the police was concerned, it was and probably still is practised with impunity. Vary few people thus depleted of their money or watches ever thought of ap- peaking to the police for aesisiance, for the impression generally prevailed that if there was a detective on the car when the outrage was perpetrated he was about the most likely person to have a hand in the rob- bery. The recent developments at the detec- tive headquarters go very far to show that pub- lic opinion upon this point is correct. Our Metropolitan Police is an expensive body. The members of the force are paid very respectable salaries—the lowest being a thou- sand dollars a year. We are heavily taxed for its maintenance, and we have a right to expect some protection from it Nevertpeless we appear to have been given up to the raids of burglars, pickpockets and counterfeiters, who, in commanication with the detective police, ply their game with impunity, We are dis- posed, under the circumstances, to acknow- ledge the performance of a manifest duly on the part of the Police Department in ordering the arrest of notorious pickpockets and thieves wherever they may be found, and we hope that the measure will be carricd out vigorously, without any further compromise with the rascals who prey upon the communi- ty, whether in the uniform of the Metropolitan Police or out ot it. Hexey A. Wie on ras Cavncass.—Ex-Cov- ernor Wise delivered a very remarkable ad- dress in Norfolk the other day for the benefit of the Southern charches devastated by the war. He took the grounds, while alluding to the late rebellion, which we have heard before from Puritanical sources—but which have been adopted for the first time by any Southern orator—that the war was brought about by the act of God for the destruction of slavery, and, treasen and rebellion upom very broad shoul- ders; but taking the general tone of the ad- dress, it exhibits a very Christian, moderate and charitable er-fre-eater of quite remarkable in the Vireinta, ia Country. - ‘There will be to-morrow a more important gathering of representative public men and eminent citizens from all parts ef the Union than has ever taken place in the country since the formation of the government; that is, it will become so if those who meet in conven- tion at Philadelphia do their work well. ‘Though this body is not called together by law, aad ite action will not have the force of law, it may, nevertheless, exercise the greatest influ- ence. Nor is it to be @ convention to make nominations for offico—for the Presidency, for Congress or for any other office. It will be, strictly speaking, a conference, a spontaneous assembly brought together by the necessities of the times, in which (he patriots and leading minds of the republic will confer as to te best means of saving the country and government f.om the revolutionary and destructive meas- ures of a powerful faction, The conyention system itself, whieh makes our presidents, gov- ernors and legislators, and whioh, in tact, con- trols the whole political machinery of the re- public, bas no foundation in law. It sprung up spontaneously and from political necessity. Yet while it is without legalized existonce, it has become all powerful. The conventions that formed the confederation and the Union originally met only to discuss im- portant political questions pertaining to the government. Our own admirable inslilutions were the result rather then the direct object of {hese conventions of patriots and great men of that day. Dufficulties of a sectional and po- litical character distracted the new republican communities, and the fathers of our country said, let us meet together in convention to talk over these matters and to see what can be | done to give peace, unity and a permanent | good governuent. They met simply to discuss ihe absorbing political questions of the day, just as the Philadelphia Convention will meet for the same purpose, This resulted in the glorious institutions we have lived bappily and prosperonsly under for nearly a century, The Convention that will meet to-morrow has not a constitution to make or a government to estab- lish a@ they had, but it has uot the leas Im- portant duty to perform of preserving that constitution and government from the destruc- tion with which they are now threatened by a revolutionury Congress, The accounis we have received from all paris of the country relative to the temper and parpose which animate the people who have intorested themselves in the Convention, and as to the character and disposition of the delegates, give ushope of the happicat result. A few obnoxions and troublesome follows, auch as Vallandighum aod the Woods, who have more ambition than patriotism, may try to make a fuss and give trouble,’but wo beliove the overwhe!ming majority of the conservative and patriotic men will soon silence them. Wo think the Southera delegates especially will frown down those agtiators who would raise unnecessary snd troublesome issues, They have paid ioo dearly for agitation and have too much at stake noi to avoid discord. The thougtt of asserabling this truly national Convention was a happy cae. For more than five yours the people of the North aod South have been separated, first by @ foolish act of attempted secession by the lator, and since bya vitier and unscrupa- lous faction who got control of Congress. Like the prodigal son the Southern people ive waffered from their folly, and after being whipped into a sense of their error they desire to come back to the family circle. The utter hopelessness of their former theories and cause could have no other effect, for such « disposi- tion is in accordance with reason, their interests and the philosophy of human nature. Every humnaae citizen, every conservative who desires peace and harmony in the republic, every siateaman who sees the evil of a prolonged ex- clusion of the South trom representation in the government—all naturally say, let the wounds of our country be healed, let the Union be as complete as it was before the war. But a radical majorily ia Congress say no, it shall not be so; we will keep the South unrepresent- ed and the country in a dangerous disorganized state because we are afraid of losing political power. Under these circumstances the next best thing to be done, undoubtedly, is to bring the representatives of the people from afl sec- tions iogesher in a national convention. Ifthe radicals will not let them exchange views and harmonize in Congrese, they can do so in this assembly. The people will thus be enabled to see and rejoice over 4 return to former frater- nal relations. The Convention will be astand- ing protest against and condemnation of the conduct of Congress, and must have the effect of enlightening the public as to the character aud purposes of that body. But in order that these good results may follow the Couveniion, there must be no at- tempt made to revive old party organizations or rivalries, If the conservative republicans enter the Convention with the purpose of swal- lowing up the democrats and using them for their own old party purposes, they will commit ® grave mistake and damage the cause they have espoused. The same may be said of the democrats; and the caution is more necessary to them, perhaps, because they may be more tempted to swallow ap the republicans; for, though they are divided, there fs still a powerful democratic orgenization. But this, as we said, would be a grave mistake, and per- haps a futalone. Truly it may be asked on this occasion, what isin a name? Yes, a good deal is in a mame for harm, if it be odious. But what does it matter about an old name in the present crisis? The principle, the restora- tion of the country, is the thing. The defeat of the radical revolutionists and the election of a new and better Congress is the work to be done. The war, and the revolution that it has caused, have swept away old party issues. Lat the names be buried with them; at least let not these names cause strife when a grand derstand it The reckless extravagance and fearfal corruption of Congress should be fully exposed; and thia is @ prolific theme. Then, wher tho platform is laid down, the wealthy men of the republic everywhere should eub- scribe liberally to aid the movement, while the orators should spread themselves over the length and breadth of the land. If such pru- dence and energy characterize the movement there can be no doubt of tho result, Short as the time is before the Congressional elections, @ complete change may be effected and a conservative Congress be returned to take the place of the present radical one. That should be the main object in view. English Reform—The Hyde Park Kiots--The Derby Ministry. ‘Tho British metropolis has been startled by an ominous uprising of tts dangerous classes in the late Hyde Purk riots, The ruling arls- tocracy of the realm have had a solemn warning of the perils of trifling with popular rights and popular wrongs in this day of the onward march of popular ideas. The tory government ot Lord Derby has taken the alarm, and thus inspired to make some recognition of the claims of “the lower classes,” it has been acting in a | common gense way for the pacification and conciliation ot ‘the reform league and the com- bystible revolu‘ionary elements supporting it, The result will probably be a satisfactory com- promise, which my lead to substantial conces- sions from the Derby government in the way of reform. History, they say, is phifosophy teaching by example. We presume that in this view the recollection of the consequences to King Lonis Philippe and his family from his attempted suppression in Paris of ceriain political ban- quets in 1848 was not without its influence upon the Derby Cabine'. At all events, had Louis Philippe an@ his advisers in 1848 shown something of the common sense and sagacity which this Derby government has exhibited in the treatment of the same delicate and dan- gerous questions, the cilizen king no doubt would have been spared the alternative of his ignominious flight to England in the disguise ot a British sailor’s pea jacket. But with all his previous observations and experience in the uncertainties and vicissitudes of royadty, Louis Philippe fell a vict m to that old royal delusion that coercion is the only remedy for the clamors of “the lower classes.” The Derby maistry, we say, have acted more wisely in adopting the Napoleonic iden— that the sirength of a government in this ago of the wold is in the will of the people. This idea was drawn by the Bonapartes from tho United States, and they have shown that it may be adapted not only to a republican, or limited monarchical, but with the bust results to a des- potic system of government. The tory party of England have had and have learned some useful lessons to. this end, in their ups and downs of the last half century. Identified as they have been and are with the aristocratic classes and the old feudal system of England, these tories in power have on several occa- sions distinguished themsslves (as in the re- peal of the old corn laws) By greater measures of reform than any standing to the credit of the generally successful whig party. Disraeli, the present tory Chancellor of the Exchequer, from his long experience in Parliament, in and out of power, and his broad and enlightened views of modern statermanship, is the man for whom we may now look for great things to the people. We believe that his influence in shaping the polloy of Earl Derby will be controlling, and that thus, in all proba- bility, the liberals will secure from the tory party more liberal bill for the extension of the elective franchise than that upon which the late Russell and Gladstone ministry were de- feated in the Commons and superseded in the government. In this view the late Hyde Park riots can hardly fail to have a good effect upon the Cabinet and the Commons in behalf of the great body of the peopie, so that the popular disturbances in the British capital, which it was thought had sounded the knell of the Derby government, may prove the means of making it as eminently successful and popular as the government of Sir Robert Pool in its great measures of reform. Tae Guiry Caste Raisky--Doracr Commust- cation win Evrorr.—A despatch from Aspy Bay receivod last night, dated at half-paat six o'clock, states that the cable in the Gulf of St. Lawrence was again raised at nine o’clock in the morning, a splice made succese- fully and the cable put in perfect working order. If this should provo true the Atlantic cable may now be rogarded ss fulfilling its mission to the utmost of our expectations, We shall be independent of the strms which de- layed the steamer on Saturday, and in future we may calculate upon receiving intelligence from Kurope in twenty-four or thirty hours if the Gulf cable continues to work favorably. Decneasz or Tax Crormna.—Ii is 9 remark- able as well aaa gratifying fact to announce that the cholers, or whatever fatd disease it is which has prevailed here during the summer, is rapidly on the decrease at » time when diseases of this character are asually most prevalent. The months of August and Sep- tember have always been regardel as the most dangerous periods for the spreadof diarrhoa and similar complaints; but owl to the pro- cautions taken by the Board o Health, in which they have been nobly sidedby the com- munity generally, there is o markél abatement of the disease to report, and @ divided check to its mortality. Only three neweases occur- red in New York on Saturday ; bi we cannot say os much for Brooklyn, wher sickness is still on the imerease, This dispeity in the sanitary condition of the two citiescan only be accounted for by the indifference snd nogiect of the Brooklyn authorities. Maw parts of that city are in a most filthy state, ind thero is very little disposition evinced by th Corpora tion to make any improvement. Ovasionally they make s spasmedic effor: at enforcing cleanliness. For instance, the curbsones are painted with chloride of lime one diy, and for the next week all kinds of garbage te allowed to accumulate in the gutters. In ne portion of South Brooklym the esb barrel have not been emptied for neatly two woes, aod the How and they should remember that if a coatagious disease is allowed to spread in Brooklyn we cannot be considered safo on this side of the East river, for the intercommunication is of hourly occurrence. Parliament, The events daily transpiring in the Canadian Parliament, which are reproduced in our columns by special telegrams, are of a very significant character, and all tend pointedly towards annexation to the United States. It ia evident that the times are out of joint in the British possessions. The liberal party appear to comprehend the defenceless position of Canada, and read aright the policy of the imperial government to leave the colonies to their own resources. This was very clearly indicated in the remarkable speech of Mr. Dorion in Parliament on Friday, when he de- clared that the defences of Canada were worth- leas against the power of the United States; that the money expended upon them could have been as appropriately used by throwing it into the Ottawa river, and that the mother country had determined not to furnish either men, money or arms for the protection of the Provinces, And yet in the face of. these facta Canada has the impudence to ask that England shall pay a share of t he expenses incurred by the French raid, The drift of Mr. Dorion’s speech can hardly be mistaken. It means that the only protection for Canada is to be found in connection with this country. His Gontiments are naturally regarded as revole- tionaty by the confederation party, and hence an attempt was made to silence bim by the ad, vocates of that faction. But he was sustained by the liberal side of the house, of which the speaker has long been an influential member Mr. Dorion represents the young men of Canada of progressive ideas. He is regarded as an advanced liberal and has generally occupied @ leading position in the opposition, though Le once filled a place in the Ministry under Sicotte for a short period. He is a lawyer of some dis inction and enjoys great personal influence with men of all political parties, His speech has, theretore, some weight, not so much from the position of the speaker, perhaps, as from the response which its sentiments evi- dently meet with in the popular mind. While the strong remarks of Mr. Chambers, which we have previously noticed, may be explained away on party grounds or otherwise, there is no mistaking the tenor of Mr. Dorion’s words, representing as they do the general feeling of the progressive liberal party of Canada. In view of the present condition of things in the Am-rican provinces of Great Britain, does it not occur to her statesmen that her greatest strength lies in centralization of power within the British Islands? England has ex- tended her dominion all over the world, prin- cipally in insular territory, scattered here and there in every ocean. These sma ler island sitongholds may be of some value tober mari- time commerce, but if she should release her American possessions and the vast island of Aus- tralia from imperial rule, and permit them to govern themselves, these countries would be- come vastly more prosperous; their resources would be developed with greater rapidity than under the present system, and England would secure in them allies more beneficial in time of need than they can ever prove as depend- encies. This would be wise statesmanship, but we do not expect to see it adopted. How- ever, judging from the chaotic condition of political affairs in Canada, it is notat all im- probable that the future destiny of that colony will be decided without consultation with the home government. It is nota matter of vital importance to us which way the Cansdians de- cide whether for confederation or annexation; but it is nevertheless interesting to watch how affairs are drifting on the other side df the St. Lawrence.

Cottarse 1 Maxico.—There can hardly be any mistake in interpreting the news from Mexico, published in the Hugraxp yesterday, to mean the approach of an immediate collapse of the Franco-Austrian empire. While there appears to be soie dif- ference of opinion as to whether Maximilian will steal away quietly for Europe on the cor vette Dandalon or depart with the dignity due to his rank as an Austrian archduke, there seems to be no doubt whatever that he ison the eve of his departure and about to abandon his uneasy throne, his psoudo honors, titles and authority as Emperor of Mexico. This fact appears to be genorally conceded, aad we have very little doubt that it will be verified before long. The government has resorted to the imperial Inst game of expiring despotisms—the oppree- sion of newspapers and newspaper correspon: ents, Our correspondent at Vera Crux has r- ceived a notification that he will henceforthve held personally responsible for all letters “P- pearing in the Hunatp under date from eta Cruz.
