Our European filos and special correspondence from Paris, received by steamship yesterday, embrace very intoresting and important details of our cable despatches to tho 11th of October. From Paris, Rome and Brussels we have the melan- oholy intelligence that the mind of the Empress of Mcx- ico—overtenged by tho importance of her mission and fintensely deprossed by her bitter failures—has given way, and that her Majesty became insane after her in- derviow with the Pope, and was being taken from Rome 4o Brussels in this afflictea condition. The latest tele- ‘gram from Brussels etates that the ‘‘ mental crisis’! was alleviated, Au English correspondent in Paris conveys the idea ‘hat the Emperor Napoleon may refuse to approve of ‘General Dix ag United States Minister to France. Our special correspondent in the French capital states tbat the question of the representation of the United Btates at the court was widely canvassed in politiont Clt> ‘oles, but the writer intimates that @custal Dix will be very acceptabie to all purties as the American Minister. 4 Whet the French radivals term the Scandinavian ques- ‘tion—an intimate alliance, or fusion, of Sweeden, Den- mark and Norway~is looming up. ‘The Opinion Na- éonale, in its troatmont of the subject, shows that it is !Mkely to form a serious point of rivairy and antagonism Dbotween Russia and France in the Baltic. | The King of Hanover has completed his last act of royalty by ‘“absolving’’ his subjects from their alle- giauco to his person. —vuar peace i8 scarcely secured tanding the many peace treaties Just perfected, John Bright dolivered a telling oration at a ‘‘ monster” reform demonstration in Leeds, He advocates manhood suffrage and an ultimate union of the peoples of England and America. His sneer ata ‘descent from the Con- quoror’’ may be regardod as a first warning to the hered- Stary aristocracy as a class, and a preliminary to an at- tack on tho law of primogeniture, The London Times, speaking of ‘“reconsiruction”’ in Jamaica, asserts that government acts which would be Properly classed as cruelty and despotism, under other circumstances, may be termed acts of “Justice and mercy’’ when applied “to men of African blood in Afeica’' or the colonies, MISCELLANEOUS. Nows from Rio Janeiro to September 25, announces important movements of the allied army in its advance into Paraguay. On the Ist of September the allied fleet moving up the Parana river to co-operate with the army in an attack on Fort Curapaity, an outpost of Fort ‘Humaita, came upon a masked battery with which the oot bocame engaged. The tron-clad Riode Janeiro which Was in advanco was disabled by sixty-eight pound shot, fund the fleet drew off to wait for morning. On the 2d tho battle was resumed, and during the day the Rio de Janoiro was blown into fragments by a torpedo, All the crow perished either by the explosion or at the hands of the sharp shooters of the enemy. On the 3d of September the army moved forward and made an assault onthe fort, carrying it at the point of the bayonet. Up to the Inteot dates from the army, September 7, no further ad- vance had been made. Néws from Moxico via Washington says that the lib- orais are taking steps to reoccupy Durango and advance tho capital to Monterey. The Eighty-firat rediment of French troops was badly cut up on its return from Vera Oru: to the interior. It was believed at Vera Cruz that ths mission of Castelneau was to stop the embarkation ‘of French troops en rou'e home, The details of the at- tack on Mazatlan and evacuation’ of Guaymas by the Fronch, previously announced, are given im this morn- fog's Hersey, and are of an interesting character, The Consternation which prevailed at Gaaymas on the de- Parture of the Fronch is described as having been pain- ful. The United States inon-of-war Saranac oppor- tuooly arrived in port and gave protection to the Ameri- cans, though it is reported that Captain Scott did so with ‘Dad grace. Tho repulse of the liberals at Mazatlan was Of a bloody and decisive character. ‘The Emperor of Brazil closed the sorsion of the As- #ombly on September 16. In his speech he informed the membors that ‘the United States of North America had given to Brazil the most complete satisfaction for the violent capture in the port of Bahia of the privateer Florida by the war steamor Wachuset We havo dates via Panama from the Past Indies to Keptember 1. The financial panic which began some ‘ime since in Australia continued with increasing agita- Jion, and three several ministries of the government were forved to resign. Governor Bowen had also been severe- ly consured, and a public mooting had petitioned for his recall. The commercial news reports American wares in far demand, and also indicates an increasing desire on the part of the New Zealanders to open trade with New York Tho Presbyterian church at the corner of Houston and ‘Thompson streets was crowded to excess yesterday to hear tho Rev. Dr, Smyth preach on the vices of the clorgy and the principles and aims of the Fenians. The reverend gontleman read a letter from a friend com ~ ing the course he had adopted and urging him to coutinue his labors. The sermon of Dr. Smyth is given ‘a full im our colamns. Rev. Dr. Cheever preached gostorday at the Church of the Puritans on the danger of borrowing, accusing the nation of having committed sin fod fraud in refusing the negro the right to vote, Rev.

In case of conviction an appoal is to be made to the United States authorities. Our special correspondent in San Domingo, writing on the 9th of October, reports that General Cabral had been elected President of the republic by a majority of 4,389, and bad formed a ministry, Some revolutionary move- ments took place a few days before his inauguration, but it wss thought that complete peace would be in- sured, The tobacco trade was dull, The island ro- mained healthy. The Anti-Rent Convention assembled at Albany yos- terday, and proved to be @ republican olectioneering scheme, Tho President and the general government was denounced, The Anti-Rent men aro said to be arm- ing themselves with Spencer rifles. A freight and a stock train on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad collided yesterday at Parkesburg, by which ono conductor was killed and several other per- ons badly injured. One of the passengers, a drover, is reported as from this city, but his name is not given, Richard Lambert, of Cincinnati, was shot and fatally wounded in a Broadway concert saloon on Saturday night by John W, Blair, a stranger from Ohio. Lambert was carried to the National Hotel and Blair committed to the Tombs, None of the inmates of the saloon were arrested. The Twenty-ninth procinct police made a descent on the negro gambling hell at the corner of Thirty-second street and Sixth avonue on Saturday night, and suc- ceeded in capturing thirty-one negroes, engaged at the time in playing faro. Richard Kenehan, a policeman of the Fifth precinct, on Sunday morning attacked and badly beat roundsman De Shays, of the same force, He was committed to the Tombs for trial. Richard Moore was seriously stabbed on Saturday night by James Sullivan at No, 11 Allen street, Sulli- van was committed for trial. An informal offor of a compromise of the Baltimore difficulty by some of Governor Swann’s friends promises to settle that affair without bloodshed. ‘Tho alloged failure of Allen, Frink & Co., of Cohoes, for a million of doliars, created much excitement yester- day in Albany. Julius Thompson, of Wost Hartford, Conn., was bru- tally murdere1 on Monday night last, near that city, by a stranger, No arrests have as yet boen made. The final obsequies to the late John Van Buren were celobrated at Albany on Saturday afternoon. Tho Baltimore Trouble—The New Orleans Dit- flculty—Radical and Rebel Disorganizers. The city of Baltimore for many years has been distinguished for its beautiful and adora- ble women and its ugly and detestable ele- ments of rufflanism and mob law. Its roses and lilies bloom in the midst of thorns, and its fascinations are full of dangers. New Orleans, though of a later development, has a similar reputation. In both these cities we are now threatened with a violent conflict between the State wuthorities and a hostile politival taction. In Baltimore the trouble lies between the republican radicals and the Governor, charged with the purpose of turning over the city and State into the hands of « party identified with the rebellion; while in New Orleans the diffi- oulty lies between a radical Governor and an ex-rebel faction, threatening to resist his authority by revolutionary violence. Under the loyal reconstraction of Maryland, im consequence of the active sympathy of o large portion of her people with “he lost cause” of Jeff Davis, a stringent law of exclu- sion of ex-rebels from the Stee elections has been adopted. In Baltimore the execution of this law is confided to the Police Com- missioners, and, as shown in the late municipal election there, these radical commissioners ave enforced the law to the letter. Governor Swann, elected by the radical party, is invested with the power of removing these Commissioners for cause in the recess of the Logislature, and upon certain charges preferred against them they have been summoned this day to answer, The radicals say that Swann has turned traitor, that he has gone over to the copperheads and rebels, and that he has trumped up his charges against said Police Commissioners for the partisan purpose of putting in a new set who will admit the excluded rebels to vote, and thus deliver over the city and State to the rebel and copperhead party. Against this alleged design “the Boys in Blue,” said chiefly to be made up of Union soldiers of the late war, have, as it appears, organized in every ward of the city under one of their old army officers, to the number of two or three thousand armed men, with the avowed purpose of preventing the removal of the Police Commissioners, or of laying the city in ashes. This is the shape in which the conflict stood yesterday, the Mayor being on the side of “ the Boys in Blue,” and President Johnson being supposed to sympathize with, the Governor in the exercise of his lawful authority to remove the Police Commissioners. Forney, violently urging the radicals to a con- flict of arms, appeals to Pennsylvania and the North to prepare for a rescue ; the Governor, on the other side, is urged by thousands of petitioners to bring the affair to a crisis in Baltimore ; and thus the most intense excite- ment reigns over the city and the State and in Washington. In the midst of this noise and confusion and these elements of discord and civil strife the great council of the Catholic hierarchy and its labors in behalf of peace and brotherly love are completely overshadowed. Ten thousand citizens of Baltimore, through a committee, have appealed to the Governor for the trial of the Police Commissioners on account of their arbitary exclusions from the late election, while “the Boys in Blue’ have appealed to their associates in the counties to be ready for action, The Governor meantime has sum- moned the Police Commissioners to trial, and | peace or war is believed to depend upon his decision for or against them. That the crisis is one of gravity and danger is apparent from the Governor's trip to Washington to see the President on Saturday. The controversy will probably be setiled to-day or to-morrow, and let us hope that peace will be maintained and the laws vindicated at the same time, The law is already on the side of the Governor in bringing the Police Commissioners to trial, moots His vermon war «idrossed to the voters of New Work, and was aseathing rebuke to the Corporation fing. Other sermons of lessor interest were delivered in thor churches of the y sol are reported im our columns elsewhere. 4 Tho Catholic Counel! whic Rimore for a fortnight pa: ay, and the ceromonics were brow, rand celebration of bigh mass in \) | President Johnson was in ationdance Poncluding services of the Catholi.

There Governor Wells, a radical, in accordance with his lawful authority, is about to remove certain sheriffs of parishes of alleged rebel antecedents and obnoxious rebel provlivities, But, on theirside, itis said that “ various rebel secret associations, or ‘ Boys in Gray,’ which are known to be well armed, will resist” the operation of the law. In Baltimore the threatened insurrection comes from hotheaded radicals and their misguided “Boys in Blue;” in New Orleans the threat- ened appeal to arms and bloodshed comes from implacable rebels and their deluded “ Boys in Gray.” In both cases, if called upon, it will be the duty of the President to sustain the State Executive; but we entertain the hope that law and order will be preserved without @ call for such intervention. As matters now stand it is the duty of President Johnson to use his influence and advice in behalf of peace; for in the present inflammable condition of parties and factions, North and South, a spark may result in a disastrous conflagration. Reconstruction—The Material Interests of the South. Affairs down Southseem almost to have come to a deadlock. Those who have no cotton are very badly off, and those who have cotton are notin a much better position. The Freedmen’s Bureau and the tax collectors between them have taken possession of the crops, and not a bale can be moved until the government three cent tax is paid, and until the authori- ties of the nigger bureau certify that each one of their protégés has received hia dues, This delay is of course productive of great incon- venience to the planters, who are paying as much as three and a half per cent a month for loans of money. What with interest on brokers’ advances and loans, and the depletion which somehow invariably accompanies the handling of cotton by Bureau and Treasury agents, there will be very little of the staple left when it returns to its rightful: owners. To add to the general perplexity the entire crop turns out lighter than was expected in every State ex- cept Texas, where the amount raised is greater than the most.sanguine estimate; for Texas suffered nothing by the war, and had the use of labor and of capital from other parts of the South. In Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana the heavy freshets which occurred in July and August materially re- duced the cotton production. Thus the Southern States stand, without money, without credit, with a short crop and a desolated country. They need capital to re- develop their resources and labor to cultivate their wasted lands. ‘The only way to obtain these is by a restoration to the Union and by the flow of confidence and capital which will follow on that event. The only way to obtain this restoration is by an undeclayed ratif- cation of the constitutional amendment, There is no _ valid reason why they should not take this course, and that right speedily. It is in entire accordance with the submissive views which their leaders express on all occasions, public and private, It is in goneral principle what their generals, Lee and Johnston, Longstreet and Hood, would advise them to do. It is the will of the North, and to that will all their best friends would urge them to bow. Governor Sharkey, though he argues against the amendment now, was not half so sure in June last whether the South had not better make terms with Congress. Howell Cobb unhesitatingly expressed his readiness to do everything the North required. No one, in short, but the most rabid news- paper editors—men like Rives Pollard, who were writers in time of war and now would be fighters in time of peace—have ever urged serious objection to the principles of the amendment. The Southern people—the better class of them—do not want to restore slavery ; they do not want to repudiate the national debt in favor of the rebel scrip; they do not want to do anything which the constitutional amendment prohibits. The proscription of the leaders of the rebellion is the only cleuse about which there need be any dif- ficulty. That is a condition which the victors may with perfect clemency impose upon tho vanquished. Why, then, should not the South adopt the amendment at once? South Caro- lina, the first in secession, is said to be ready to lead the way back. The Southern people have two choices before them. On the one hand they have, the amendment ratified, repre- sentation in Congress and restored and independence; on the other hand they have exclusion from Congress for an indefinite time, the perpetuation of the Freedmen’s Bureau and the army of occupation, and continued desola- tion and poverty. Itis for them to decide on which side their natural interests lie. Tue Nattonat Finances. By the last state- ment from Waehington concerning the national finances it appears that the amount of frac- tional currency received by the Treasury during the past week was nearly six hundred thousand dollars, and the currency destroyed amounted to about two hundred and forty thousand. The New York Sub-Treasury received two hundred thousand dollers’ worth of the new fractional enrreney, and the national banks two hundred and sixty thousand. The receipts from inter- nal revenue show a return since the 30th of June of $117,818,807. At this rate the receipts for the entire fiscal year would amount to three hundred and sixty millions. But they will probably go above that, because the returns from income about the months of May and June sometimes amount to nearly two millions aday. The disbursements from the Treasury last week were $4,586,245, leaving in the Treasury $5,269,131. Notwithstanding that this shows the Gnancial affairs of the government to be working smoothly under the prodigious receipte from all sources—receipts, we may add, which are besed on & wag footing with a peace establish- ment—#.il) not only can the Treasury meet all obligations and demands, interest of the na- ional debt, and so forth, but with euch receipts, properly managed, a portion of the principal might be paid off, too, and preparations made to relieve the people of a portion of the heavy taxation imposed upon them. It is hardly equitable that the same generation which bore the brunt of the war, with ite life and ite prop- erty, pu iso bear the the Teh Ro Wie We tru ta a aot ali next tion in our financial system as will aecomplish | the cause of Maximilian is whole burden of | lesy tbe disappointment the Treasury Department now, there is great room for improvement in the direction in- dicated. Tue Marve Bank Rospeny—Ovr Ognanat Laws Inorgrative.—The facts published in the Henatp yesterday concerning the burglary and bank robbery committed at Bowdoinham, Maine, and the arrest of the perpetrators in this city, suggest one or two very important points for consideration. The first is that we are living in a community where armed despe- radoes obstruct the lines of travel, draw knives and pistols on the officers of the law, and put the lives of quiet citizens in jeopardy ; as proved by the attack on the Sixth avenue car and attempted rescue of a prisoner. Next we learn by the arrests of these men how dangerous are the legal quibbles and the lenity of judges by which great criminals are allowed to go at large, as shown in the antecedents of the pris- oners in this case. Every one of them was in the State Prison at some time for various terms—one having spent twenty-one years of his life within its walls, another of them is now out on bail for the robbery of Adams’ Express, while a third is an escaped convict from the Penitentiary. Probably if the history of the gang of rufflans who attempted to rescue the prisoner Simms from the police were known i¢ would be found that nearly all of them were of the same class as the Maine burglars, and are not now in the State Prison only because of the inefficient operation of our criminal laws. Severe strictures have been made of late upon the conduct of the detective force, but it must be said, in justice to the officers engaged in hunting up this case, that they exercised great patience, vigilance and perseverance in ferret- ing out the perpetrators of this daring crime and securing them for the hands of justice. We hope this vigilance will also lead to the detec- tion and punishment of the intended rescuers who attacked the street car, filled with unoffonds ing men, women and children. The more of this class of “corner ruffians” who are locked up in Sing Sing the better it will be for the safety of the community, Tae Verptct.—The verdict of the late State elections is emphatic in favor of conserva- tive republicanism—not the conservatism that seeks to resuscitate the copperhead peace democracy at any hazard to the future of the country, but that wholesome, constitu- tional policy which proposes to lay the States recently in rebellion under certain bonds for the future; to equalize their representation by provisions incident to the change in their do- mestic institutions, and then to restore them to vheir full rights under the constitution which they had forfeited or impaired by treasonable acta, The result gives no sort of comfort to the radicalism represented by Stevens and Butler any more than to the galvanized demoo- raoy. Not only were the platforms laid down by the Stace conventions strictly conservative iu their tone, but all the minor incidents of the campaign indicate a similar influence in the minds of the people. In Ohio the democracy made their most gallant and vigorous tight in the First Congressional district. Their candi- date there is a favorite with his party and had a peculiar claim upon their sympathies, having been their candidate for Vice President in the McClellan campaign. His friends were very confident of his election, and the large reduc- tion of his opponent’s majority proves that they had some good ground for their expecta- tions. But Mr. Pendleton is defeated, and his dofeat is attributable to the sound conservative speech delivered by Senator Sherman In Cin- cinnati the week prior to the election. Up to that time the radical ravings of the wandering Southern loyalists had damaged the republican side; and had it not been for the lucid state- ment of the issue by the Ohio Senator the de- feat of their candidate might have been accom- plished. In like manner the violent radicalism of Forney and the proceedings of the Southern Loyalists’ Convention have reduced the repub- lican majority in the city of Philadelphia some four thousand votes. In every instance where the people could be blinded to the real issue and induced to believe that a vote for the re- publican side was a vote for the radicalism of Thad Stevens, the result was the same—a fall- ing off in the republican majorities. Ovr Inpran Dirrtoutrtes.—Is “Lo! the poor Indian” forever to be one of our chief sources of national vexation? From the day that Penn purchased Pennsylvania with blankets and the Dutch got Manhattan for twenty-five thalers, down to Floyd’s bond and Harlan’s land speculations, they have been a subject of swindle and a source of trouble. We had hoped, now that the freed negro had come forward for extermination and exportation beyond the Mississippi, that our old enemies, the Indians, would let us rest in peaco. But all the Floyds are not dead and there are a few Harlans left, if not in the Interior De- partment, at least in the Indian country, and swindles continue to be perpetrated. More ap- propriations are demanded by the army of army speculators and contractors in the West; and, consequently, they get up fortnightly a terrible massacre by the Indian tribes. More troops are demanded, but not needed, and con- sequently more supplies and more money are wanted, The Indian is not a swindle himself, but he fs the excuse for it in others. The energetic and chivalric members of the red race would be very content to sleep out their days under the influence of the bad ram with which the government supplies them if the army con- tractors would only let them alone. Bat quiet is exactly what these fellows don’t want. They want noise, confusion and an opportunity to sell more supplies ; and in ordtr to do it keep the Indians in hot water and cause the country much vexation of spirit. ‘The extermination of the Indian and negro races should be dropped for a while and the exercises varied by the banging of a few hundred army coutractors and genera) agitators. Ixsantry oF THE Exfness of Mexico.—Our European nets of this morning contains some very D*‘nful statements, indicating that Car- 16tie, Empress of Mexico, had become insane. Her conduct at the Vatican apd igteryiew with the Pope led to the suspicion that her mind Was affected. The suspicion was finally dis- covered to be correct, and it was positively stated in Paris that “ her mind had given way.” A depression of her spirits was noticed at the time of her ipterview Napoleon. Doubt- ent of his refusal to aid her husband, and that of other sovereigns, bas nificant to us in that {t indicates how hopeless considered ‘a that the Pyesidcat wit reebtaiacnd | brought about this ead rovult. The fact is sig- aeaston a aa these objects, Well as affairs are workigg in ' Europe. AMUSEMENTS.

First Rehearsal of the Philharmonic Sectety. There was a pretty large audience at the first rehear- eal of this old and honored society yesterday afternoon, at Irving Hall. The programme for the first conocer} consists of the following works:—‘Symphony in 0, Ne. 2, opus 61, Schumann; Nachtlicher Zug (episode from strangeness of the compositions of Robert Schumaan have caused his genius to be as earnestly denied by some as it 1s onthusiastically admired by others, We will re: serve remarks on the symphony until the second re heareal of the society. But of the second piece in programme there can be but one opinion. How such work could emanate from any one outside tic asylum is a mattor of surprise.

There is none of that billowy, graduated power of Bee'hoven, in which overy phase of passion te shown asin the human mind Itself. Liszt conceives grand ideas and itmpreses us with them, but just we become interested lescends to some pucrile ject, and Jeaves a feeling if not of disgust at least of diesatisfaction in the mind. We have in tho Faust a French hSrn soto, with & quaint, monotonous accompaniment of reeds, in which the violins ovcasion- ally come in with tremolos. He shows aki in sensationalizing; for after some in which there isa beautiful harp accompaniment, the manner ia which be seems to gather up the entire force of the orebestra, instrument after instrument, for the culmi- hating crash of trumpets trombones is excellent. Bat bevond that, all is dark and , unrelieved by one ray of light or color. Perhaps subject is an nngratefal one; bat he might mot at least have confined himself to the worst points init. Liszt is undoubtedly the greatest pianist that ever lived, but tn the orchestra he seems to ue pretty much Ike a bull im a china shop.
