A new charch edifice was opened for divine service at Greonpoint by the Episcopalians of that locality. It is situated on Kent stroet, near Union avenue, ‘A collision occurred yosterday morning, near the Des- strcet ferry, between the ferryboat D. 8. Gregory and tho steamer Goorse Washington. Three women and two children on the forryboat were injured. Patrick Donnolly became involved in @ quarrel with William Cok, at thé liquor store of Torence itt, in South Brooklyn, yesterday evening, when he strack Cox, according to the latter’s statement, and knocked him dowa, Cox got up ani ran, but was puraued by Donnelly, who again siruck him, when Cox drow his pocket knife and inflicted such a severe wound on Don- nelly in the abdomen that the entrails protruded.. Cox then delivered bimself up ata station house. Donnelly at a late hour was till alive, Secretary Seward’s attendant, physician pronounces his condition greatly improved, aad entertains strong hopes of his early recovery, General Lovell H. Rousseau was re-clocted in Koa- tucky on Saturday, without opposition, to fill the unex- pired torm in Congross, the vacancy belag occasioned by his resignation, Four cases of cholera wore reported in this city yoster- day, and one case was unofiiciatly roportod ip Brooklyn. Thirteen cases of cholera wore reported in Nashville yesterday, and five deaths. There were eight fatal;cases in Bristol, R. L, withia tho last three days, and two in Providence,’ A fire ocourred in Newbern, N. C., yesterday morning and destroyed two blocks, containing about fifty build- ings, The loas is estimated variously at $500,000 and $2,000,000. The fire was the work of incondiaries, Tho Bondholders. The bondholders of the United States are pursuing the same course that the fundholders ot England pursued after the close of the terri- ble and prolonged war with Napoloon L, in 1815. Taking aivantage of the necessities of the government during the unparalleled costly civil war we have just passed through, they obtained its bonds at a high rate of inter- est— six and seven per cent, and, in some cases, at not much over fifty per cent of the nom- inal value. Following the example of the British fundholders, they now urgently demand an immediate return to specie payments, with a view to increase enormously the value of this property. The national banks, which hold upwards of three hundred millions; the foreign bondholders, who have in their hands, per- haps, five or six hundred millions, and the rich bankers and capitalists at home, who hold the balance, natarally cry out for the immodinte resumption of specie payments, because that would add nearly a hunired per cent to the value of their purchase, and fully thirty-three por cent to the present market value of their property in bonds. We see, then, what an im- mense power there is pressing upon the govern- ment, acting upon Congress, and working upon public opinion to bring about this result. The fundholders in England commenced to operate in the same way directly after peace was established in 1815. They met with pow- erful resistance in the Bank of England and the, business community, but all that had to yield in the course of @ few years to their superior power. The question was not understood as well then as it is now. No country had over boen placed ia simf!ar condition previously. Franoe, it is true, had accumulated several enormous debts, and had at one time floods of almost worthless paper money, but the two countries were not alike nor their cases analo- gous. In France they changed everything by violent and sudden revolutions and by the use of tho sponge. England, asa conservative and great commercial country, endeavored to preserve the ostablished order of things and its credit when overwhelmed with debt. Our situation at present is more like that of England at the pe- ried referred to, though not exactly the same ; but we have ihe bene‘ of her experience to guide and warn us, Besides, the world gene- rally is more enlightened oa the questions of national finance and currency. The British fundholders succeeded after a few years in forcing spocle payments, By the power of their money, and through specious arguments, they got the parliament with them. A large portion of the landed interest gave them its support. Many of the rich landed aristocracy were fund- holders too; and although as proprietors of the soil they might not have expected to be benofited as much as those whose sole pro- perty was in the funds, they believed thoy were promoting their own interests. In 1819 @ bill was passed providing for a return to specie payments; and in 1823—that is in eight yeurs after the close of the war—this waa ac- complished. The agitation of the question and the efforts made to force specie payments kept the business affairs of the country fa @ constantly distarbed and an unhoalthy siete. Panics, revalsions, wild speoula- tions and great disircss were the conse- quences both then and after resumption. Everything was in a disturbed condition, Political agitations followed, which culminated in the reform bill of 1832. The most serious and enduring effect of all these financial and commercial disturbances was the enormous en- richment of the tundholding class at the expense of the rest of the community, the croation of millions of paupers, and placing the govern- ment of the country permanently in the hands of a moneyed power. These evils could have been avoided, and England would have reached ® specie basis without disturbances, revalsions or great distress bad she permitted a beulthy and gradus! approximation to specie paymeuis lo have taken place through the natural opera- tions of the laws of trade and growth of the country. Those facts of English bisiorynre full of iu- | siraction to us. The mevilable consequence of forcing specie payments ix to impoverish the masses of the community, to bankrupt debtors and all with small meavs, and, at the same | time, to increase the wealth of thore already bloated with riches [If this country should, | nol mnder such circamstences, he reduced to as frightful » state of pauperism as England ir, oor bowndles# resources and vast public domain, with the low price of the public lands, wonld | alone prevent if, that way —the poor would become poorer. Our bullionists, Hike those of Kogland, clamor | for contraction of the currency; yet sone of them can (eli us what «hould he the limit of traction, or what amount of currency is | lly needed for the business of the country | st the present time, The clrealation previous | (o the war would certainly be very inadequate. | We have made immense strides since then. | An cnarmany amount of wealth bac been eapi- | belived within « few yrars. Mr. Aligom, the “in every comntcy (be aygre- histor | wa aine ; pend on the business Tt has to perform.” No | one can deny that the present vast business operations of thie great country require @ cor- reapondiog emount of currency. wae: Rut the tendency would be j the curreney mast evidemtly de- | Aisttaguishod divines, were among those who com- | to specie payments is not by a forced and sudden effort to bring about resamp- tion, but by taking such action as will in- Spire confidence in our ability to return to it within a reasonable time and without a revulsion. First of all, let us substitute legal tenders for national bank notes, without in- creasing the amount of paper circulation. In this way the govornment would save nearly twenty millions a year, which could be applied to cho liquidation of the debt; for it could buy up tho bonds now deposited by the banks aa acourity for their circulation with the legal tonders issued in place of the national bank notes. Thoso legal tenders would be at the same time a more reliable circulation, Thon let the government reserve the gold that is constantly coming into the Treasury from the customs, and the business community will feel fully assured as to the ability of the govern- ment to pay specie when demanded. A large reserve in the vaults of the Treasury will have the samo effect as such a reserve in the Bank of England has in Great Britain, To inspire con- fidence is the fundamental principle of all banking or governmental operations, By adopting euch # system of currency and finance, and bya careful application of our superabundant revenuo to the payment of the national debt, it can be liquidated in ten or fifteen yeara, This would save the country from revulsion and distress, and at the same time reliove it of the dangerous moneyed power of the grasping bondholders. The Atlantic Cables—The City of Now York the Telegraphic Centre of the World. The Atlantic telegraph cable is a success, whother financially or not we are not at the present moment apprised. It is certain that not only one line is successtully at work, but that another, rescued from the depths of mid- ocean after many months’ submersion, is also assisting in the labor of intertwining in frater- nal embrace the Old and the New World. We hail this triumph of genius and of indom- itable peraoverance as a portentous event in the history of our country. But we do not think this connection with Europe will end with one line of communication, or with a sin- gle company. Already other lines are being laid by land and soa, all aiming at the same purpose. The line via Russia is one of partioular importance, as it will traverse a friendly territory and not be subject to the restrictions which an unfriendly government might impose upon the transmission of mes- sages. Lines are also contemplated and are in some degreo of progress to unite Europe and America by way of Cuba and Florida ; also by way of Lisbon in Portugal, the Asores, Bermuda and Cape Charles at the mouth of the Chesapeake, and we do not know how many more routes. The more the better. But what is of particular consequence now is to have direct telegraphic communication between tho city of London and the city of New York—the two great commercial centres of the eastern and western hemispheres. Tbe prin- ciple of transmitiing intelligence by means of an oxtended submerged cablo is established by the sucoeas of the line between Valentia and Newfoundland. Why cannot it be continued a few hundred milos further and unite without break the two metropolises of the world? When the first telegraph wire was strotohed from Baltimore to Washington city, it was an experiment the success of which was problem- atical. Now there are at least a dozen wires centoring in the national capital, and they are frequently unable to perform the duty required of them with necessary despatch. Telegraph wires have multiplied afl over this continent, even to the hidden recesses and unexplored coasis of South America and through the icy regions of the Northern Russian possessions. Searcely a town in the United States is too in- significant to be denied its telegraph station. In the far West, the log house and the black- smith’s shop arc followed by the telegraph office, On special occasions telegraph opers- tors travol upon railway trains with instruments at hand ready to connect with the wires at any point. This was the case on the tour of Sir Morton Peto and his Koylish friends, and also on the late Presidential excursion. During the rebollion the system was carried out to an an- Itmited extent on both sides. In short the tele- graph has become as necessary & modiuin of communication in commercial, financial sad social life aa anything that hes ever sprung from even the carly study of the spelling-book. Tt was not for the benefit of the city of New York nor of the city of London alone that the telegraph cable was laid. The whole civilized world was interested in the enterprise. It was not for the benefit of the city of San Francisco alone that a telegraph line was constructed be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific, centering in New York. The vasi Mississippi basin, the remote settlements and busy towns and cities of Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, the whole of California and the entire Pacific coast were concerned in its successful completion. Every government mail coach, every emigrant train that starts from the weel- era boundaries of Missouri toward and beyond the Rocky Mountains has its means of immedi- ate communication with the Hast with every | few miles of travel through the dreary plains or | ragged mountain heights. And now that it is proposed to construct new ocean and land lines to link the two hemispheres, to bring the Old and the New World more closely together, wo ' cannot but regard such undertskings a likely to result to the incalculable benefit of the United States. With the city of New York as the weatern centre of the telegrams of the world, there will flow to our sbores 4 greater volome of emigration sod wealth than ever before. Our city will become the central and distribu depot for telegrams as if it were the dis- | tributing post office of all the nations of the | earth, Tue Sovouns' avo Satvons’ Conviwnon, } This gathering of (be heroes of the recomt war will be held ai Cleweland to-day. ‘The | | delegates is headed by Admiral Partag | the navy, and auch Generals as Gordon | ger, Dix, Steedman, Wool, Peck and Liv for the army.

A prompt de- mand upon England for the Alabama damages, and a vigorous parting kick to Mr. Maximilian, of Mexico, will make the President more popu- lar than ever with all classes of the American people. Tho Way Our Foreign Policy Has Been aad Should Be Managed. It can hardly be said that we have ever had a foreign policy, except that enunciated as the Monroe doctrine, and that has been abandoned of late years, The power and dignity of the greatest nation have been lowered and trailed in the dust at the assumption and dictation of other and weaker nations. England, France, and even lesser powers, defy and overreach us. For this amiable trait we are compli- mented by those who in their hearts have no good feeling toward us. The London Morning Post, the organ of the British aristocracy, “warmly applauds the policy of non-interven- tion of the United States in the affairs of South America, and cordially approves the modera- tion evinced by us in regard to Mexico.” No doubt it approves also of our suppression of the Fenian raid, and of our quiet, submissive conduct with regard to the Alabama claims. This is all very natural; for it suits the views and policy of England. These praises from those opposed to our government, institutions and progress ought to raise the question “What have we done that our enemies praise us?” They are suspicious, and should stimu- late an inquiry as to the character and tenden- oy of our foreign policy. By the same batch of news by which we are informed of these commendations from Eng- land we are informed, through the Journal des Débats, of Paris, “that the I'rench and Enog- lish governments have conjointly made an active representation to the Sultan of Turkey ayainst the acquisition by the United States of an island in the Gulf of Osina.” We do not know whether our government has been nego- tiating with the Sultan for such an island. It would be reasonable enough for the United States to endeavor to obtain an island in that part of the world asa depot of naval stores and a coaling station for our navy, whether it bas entered upon any negotiation or not, We do not want territory for any other purpose. Wo should not, like France and England on this continent, attempt to establish a political influence. If we have desired the island spoken of it isa very modest desire on the part of a greet naval and commercial country. But it appears that even this is resisted by two of the eelfish and haughty monarchical powers of the Old World. Suppose we were to conduct ourselves in the same menner toward these powers, what would be the result? Why we should kick France out of Mexico, rolens volens, and let the Fenians or our own people overrun Canada, and then annex it without more ado, ‘That is what we should do if wa followed their example. They could not help themselves. Neither power would venture to go to war with the United Staies; for both combined could not begin to penetrate or make an impression upon this country. It is evidently time that the moderation for which we are praisod shonld cease. It is time that we should have # vigorous and strong foreign policy, worthy of the dignity and greai- ness of the republic. That is now the réle for the United States to take, In that way only shali we obiain the respect due tous, There is no need of raising questions to accomplish this object ; they already exist. The Alabama claims, Mexico, Canada and other subjects afford ample ucope for such @ policy. Let the administration at Washington take up these questious with something like the abilily, de- termination and firmness of Bismarck in Prussia, and then the nations of Europe will regard us in a different light. ‘They may not be so ready to praise us for a humilisting moderation, but they will respect us for our courage and power. What does President Johnson aay to this? There is » way open for him still to make him- self popular by raising the country to tbat pinnacle of honor among the nations of the world to which it is entitled. Tue Poucy Parswent Jouysox Suociy Now Poxsavs.—The breach between Congres: and the President, which haa created much bitterness of teeling while thore is lite real difference between the coa- servative majority and himself, makes it necessary that he should raise other ques- tions of public policy and take a new line of departure. Judging trom thé signs of the times, we conclude that the people of the North are going to sustain Congress in de- tmanding the guarantee of the constitutional amendwment from the South before admitting | members from that section to lake their seats, | The end will he the same, aad, as we sa there i little or no real difference between Mr. Jobneon and the majority ia Congress, se'- ting aside » few virnlent Jacohins who call! for more blood, confiscation and other horrible measures.

When the civil war was raging in this coun- try the European journalists sent to report it were loud in their condemnation of the devas- tation of the Southern country by our soldiers, and quoted the raids of Stoneman and Kil- | hou# in Leonard sirect und went to bed. " Bi the patrick, the marches of Sherman and the teat Up sais to call rye were papseeg: ‘patrol at midnight, Barber, oa being called, ravages of Sheridan in the Shenandoah as without parallel in the history of war. The same journalists have lately been employed in writing accounts of the war between Austria and Prussia, and have given interesting stories of the exciting operations of the campaign. But they have given but one side of the picture. Apparently the march of the Prussians has been a triumphal one; the battles have been grand exhibitions of military evolutions ; the leaders have the appearance of the chivalric knights of olden times; and the men are per- fect specimens of the true soldier in figure, sentiment, impulse and outfit.

The writers for the English press would have us believe thet it cost nothing in blood; for there are no woanded, no dead, no mangled among the combatants, while all the horrors which have been visited upon the peaceful women and children who lived in the pathways of the armies are carefully kept from view. But our own advices from the seat of war tell us of the terrible sufferings of these un- fortunates in Bohemia and Moravia, Our cor- respondents who witnessed the marches of our troops in ihe South and who have accompanied the Prussian and Austrian armies in their marches, declare that the acinal sufferings of the Southern people were as nothing compared with those of ‘he people of the devastated dis- tricts of Northern Atsiria. The indiscriminate seizure by the armies of cattle, provender and food, the destruction incidental to the canton- ment of troops in the houses of the peasaniry, the conflagrations attendant on the frequent battles in towns and villages, have left hun- dreds of thousands of poor people houseless and starving, and the distressed condition of the peasantry is without parallel in that coun- try. It is with difficulty that these countries in their most prosperous condition support their numerous population of poor peasantry, so numerous indeed that their labor commands but ebout one-fifth of the price paid for it in this country. Now with the country devas- tated by the excesses and necossities of two BROOKLYN INTELLIGENCE. Fuicurru. Stasi Averar.—One of the most sheok- ing affairs that has been heard of for some timo past took piace in South Brooklyn last evening, a quarcel between two men resulting in one of them drawing knife and literally cutting the other open, Abow = quarter-past seven o'clock a man heretofore unknowa to the police, named Wm. Cox, residing in one of the shantios at the foot of Columbia street, surrendered himeelf at tho Forty-third precinct station house undor the following circumstances:—It appears, according to Cox’s statement, that about an hour previous he was a& tnd Lhguocrettesty buying s paper of totaoco. A nian ueor uying @ paper oF . named Patrick Donnell; y went up to him and asked It he was not going to treat him toa drink. Cox consented. Donnelly then said, ‘Ain't you going to treat the crowd?” Cox refused, saying that ho had not money enough, At this reply Dounelly struck him, kicked him and knocked “him down, Cox managed to escape into the of Poter Britt, leaving his son, five yer 5 door, and while there heard Donnelly threatening hica ‘and the boy crying. Upon the appearance of Cox in the street Dounelly approached and again struck him violently, whereupon Cox drew his pocket knife and stabbed Donnelly in the abdomen, Upon a closer exami- nation it was found that a cut several inches im length bad been intlictod, from which a portion of the intoa- tinos protruded. ‘At alate hour last nigut the unforta- uate man was atill alive, Fenian Mexnna.—A meeting of Fenian admirers and supporters of the Central Organizer, James Stephens, was held on Saturday night at No, 369 fulton street, under tho auspices of A.
