By the Atlantic cable we have a news report dated in London on Sunday, October 28. The relations between Russia and Austria are, it is said, rather “‘monacing"’ of war. Ruasia is accused of intriguing for a more complete disruption of the Austrian empire. Reports from London state that Lord Derby’s cabinet will ask from Parliament an addition of @ million of pounds sterling to the army appropriation, with a largo tacrease in the money vote for naval purposes. Queen Isabella, of Spain, accepts the project of settle- ment proposed by France and England in her war diff- culty with Chile. Ktalian accounts say that the Turks have been again . severely dofeated in Candia. The Tycoon of Japan is said to have abdicated. ‘Tho steamship Moravian, at Father Point yesterday, furnighes details of our cable despatches to the 19th of October. The Pars Siécle thinks ‘that further oppositicn on the part of President Johnson to the progress of Ameri- caa reconstruction under the constitutional am-ndment would be “unwiso and big with the most deplorabie consequences.” Our special correspondent in Paris asserts that the revolutionary element in Spain has been concentrated to &@ point which renders a popular explosion inevitable in the kingdom within a few months, The result, he says, will be the dothronement of the Queen and the certain overthrow of the Bourbon dynasty. Tho tendency of the public feeling ia towards the establishment of a re- public. The Infanta Henri de Bourboo, brother to the King of Spain, who professes democracy, aims at the leadership. It is intimated that he would be disposed to treat for the transfer of Cuba to the United States in re- turn for American sympathy during and subsequent to the struggle. From Berlin we are specially informed that the ‘‘con- questa’ and territorial “‘incorporations’’ of Prussia have not secured anything like a lasting peace in Germany, and that the chances are that another war will break out very soon, during which, if Napoleon lives, France will be arrayod against Prassia, i Our Vienna correspondent conveys the idea that Aus- tria is proparing for another war, Tae feeling towards Prussia ta still of deep hatred, and the soldiers of the empire are described as being anxious for one more trial of strength with the “enemy” in the fleld. Conaols closed in L.ndon at 803¢ for money on Sat- arday. Five-twentics wore at 68%. The Liverpool cotton market was steady, with mid- fling uplands at 15d. Breadatufis were firmer on Satur- inj THE CITY. This forencon, wind and weather permitting, the much talked of ocean match between the yachts Vesta and L'Hirondelle will take place. A full description of both vossols will be found in another column. They will start from the lightship at Sandy Hook, and sail ‘Wwonty miies to windward and back. There will be no race unless an eight knot breeze is blowing at the time appomnted for the start. ‘The centennial celebration ceremonies at St. Paul's church were continued yesterday by the services of Holy Communion in the morning, a lecture at noon by Rev. Morgan Dix, D.D., rector, on the “History of St. Paul's and Reminiscences of the Past,” and in the evening by a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Weston, and full Ohoral services by the united choirs of Trinity church and Trinity chapel. A masa meoting was held last evening in the Seventh ward to ratify the nomination of John Morrissey for Congress. The meoting was very large aud enthusiastic, A stirring speech was delivered by Edmon Blankman and another by Captain Rynders, Resolutions were adopted endorsing Morrissey's nomination. The counsel of the heirs of Anneke Jans stated yester- day to a meoting of the clients that Trinity Church Cor- poration was disposed to favorably consider propositions for a compromise, and that a settlement might be ex pected by December next. The leases on the property in dispute are now falling due, and the Trinity Corporation Onda diMiculty in making collections, and is therefore willing to come to an early settlement. An interesting discussion as to general and special partnerships took place in the special term of the supe- rior Court yesterday, hefore Chief Justice Robertson. | Tho question was whether special partners could be held liable as genoral partners, where the agreement of epe- cial partnership was unknown to creditors. William Hl, Faulknor was arrested yesterday and held to bait in $1,000 to answer the charge of forging the ame of his former employer, Thomas B. Gallagher, for he sum of $22% In another column will be found the testimony of \(neases in the matter of Henry Westheimer against (he Hoatth Board. So far asthe testimony has elicited facta, tt would appoar that some etrong perjury has been going on, Two arrosta were mado yesterday of men charged with Fogistoring thoir names as voters in two wards. | Emile Moth, a Dane, committed suicide on Sunday Hight, at 19 Allon street, by inhaling charcoal gas. Aamall boy, aged about fifteen, name unknown, was | yostorday run over and instantly killed by acarof the Third Avonuo Railroad line, his head being nearly sev ored from his body. Miss Whiley, who was so badiy burned by a kerosene lamp oxplosion on Friday hight, died yoaterday morning.

Notwithstanding the continued heavy receipts, and that trade remained very slow, a firmer feeling prevailed in the market for beef cattle, though prices were not quota» bly higher. Extra cattle, however, were scarce, and full prices were readily obtained, 17c, being the top price, Good cattle sold at 15c. a 16¢. and common at 8c. 8 120, Milch cows have been in fair demand for the Southern market, aad in view of the scarcity higher prices have been realized, sales being made as high as $160, the range being from $50 to $145.

The total receipts were 6,853 beeves, 100 cows, 1,077 veal calves, 29,988 sheep and lambs, and 22,481 swine. MISCELLANEOUS. - Threats of vengeance against the members of the Canadun government and court which convicted Colonel “Lynch and Father McMahon are freely made in Ottawa, and create great excitement, These threats and Mr. Seward’s letter create the impression there that war will ensue in cage the Fenians are hung. Tho excitement in this city also continues to be very great, and appeals to the President and threats against Canada are heard in all directions, A large meeting of Fenians was held at Buffalo on Sunday night to express indignation at the conviction of Lynch and McMahon. Colonel Starr, a Fenian officer who fought at Ridgeway, and General Swoeny declare that Lynch beld no rank in the Fenian army. . ‘The trial of the Baltimore Police Commissioners was continued yesterday, the prosecution closing the case. ‘No rebutting testimony was offered by the counsel for the defence, who were given until this morning to procure witnesses. The case is said to be virtually decided, and the Commissioners will be removed and a new Board appointed immediately. Jeff Davis’ health is declining so very rapidly that Governor Humphreys recommends the Mississ:ppi Legis- lature to petition President Johnson to release him on bail. General Grant is anxious that General Sherman should assume the portfolio of Mr. Stanton in order that he may have the hearty co-operation of the war office in the work of reorganizing the army. General Sherman, it is reported, does not aspire to the position; and Gen- eral Grant hopes to have General Stedman nominated for the position. General Oriega has written a letter to General Sheridan complaining of his tate order, in which he intimates that the lattcr bas overstepped the bounds of his duty. The Government would seem to consider so to, as it wag reported in New Orleans yesterday that Sheridan had ‘been ordered to report at Washington in consequence of his late positive action relative to Mexican matters, The news from Matamoros represent that the Cortina and Canales quarrel still rages, but no Dattle has as yet, or 1s Mkely to take place, between the two Chieftains.

Y., choked his wife to death on Saturday night. The Approaching Session of Congress—Im- peachment of the President. The Thirty-n'nth Congress (second session) will reassemble in the national Capitol on the first Monday in December next, and its constitu- | tional term of existence will end on the fourth ; of March ensuing. It will be what is generally known as the short session, during which very little business can be expected beyond the ap- propriation bills and some tinkering of the tariff, the national bank and currency systems and Internal Revenue laws. It is morally certain, however, that soon after, if not before, the reception of the President’s annual message the extreme radicals in the House will make a movement for the impeackment of President Johnson. The upshot of this experiment, therefore, becomes a very important question. Notices of impeachment proceedings have been proclaimed from the stump by General Banks, General Ben Butler, Hon. Mr. Bing- ham, and Hon. Mr. Shellabarger, of Ohio, and by the Hon. Mr, Kelley, of Pennsylvania, and other radical leaders. In one of his late elec- tioneering speeches Mr. Bingham said, “So help me God, I will neither give sleep to my eyes nor slumber to my eyelids until I shall have drawn bills of impeachment against Andrew J ”* General Butler, however, in one of his late stump orations out West, has gone so far as to frame his indictment and his charges against the offending President, and they as follows:— 1. An attempt to bring Congress into public hatred, ridicule and contempt. 2. Wrongfully using the power of appointment, and disregarding the prerogatives of the United States Senate in the appointment of men whom that body, in pur- prom of constitutional authority, had tried and re- jected. 3. For declaring peace in the insurrectionary States withoat the consent of Congress. 4. For corruptly using the pardoning power. 5, For failing to enforce the Civil Rights bill. 6. For complicity in the New Orleans riot. General Butler next answers the question, “How can the President be impeached?” substantially as follows :—That the House of Representatives, acting, according to the con- stitution, as the grand inquest or grand jury of ‘ the nation, prepares and presents the bill of impeachment to the Senate of the United States, which then, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as its presiding jndge, becomes a high court of impeachment, and so sends out | its sergeant-at-arms to bring in the criminal, | be he high or low. This done, the Senate may send him to prison for safe keeping during the intervals between the sittings of the court, or they may order him to find bail; and in either case the functions of his high office must be discharged during the trial by some other person—that is, by the President of the Senate, Mr. Foster, Mr. Sumner, Mr. Wade, or any one else holding the position at the time, through an election by the Senate, as its pre- siding officer. The modus operandi, then, of this threatened impeachmen: is simple enough, and as there isa republican majority of two- thirds in each house, the deposition by Con- gress of President Jobnson, ifs good case could be made out against him, would be very apt to follow without much loss of time. The power of the two houses in the premises is clear. The President and any other civil officer of the United States may be removed by the process indicated, “on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” But what is the case made out against President Johnson by General Ben Butler? First, that Andrew Johnson has been guilty of the “attempt to bring Congress into public hatred, ridicule and contempt.” We presume this has reference to some of the unfortunate speeches delivered by Mr. Johnson in his late unlucky pilgrimage to the shrine of Senator Douglas at Chicago; but there is some palliation for those speeches in the provocations of certain radical leaders and stumpers levelled at President Johnson. They railed at him, and he paid them in their own coin, only he forgot to discriminate between Congress and its railing radicals. Butler’s second charge of “wrongfully using the power of appointment” amounts to noth- ing. In this business Mr. Johnson, wisely or unwisely, has only followed the examples of his ‘predecessors from the time of General Jackson. The third charge, that he was guilty of a high crime or misdemeanor in “declaring peace in the insurgent States without the con- | sent of Congress,” is simply absurd, as is the fourth, in regard to the exercise of the pardon- ing power. The fifth, “for failing to enforce the Civil Rights bill,” remains to be proved, and the sixth, “for complicity in the New Orleans riot,” is not sustained by the facts. If -as good, it is no better than Mr. Johnson’s charge against the radicals of Congress that they incited the New Orleans riot; and this brings us to the end of the budget of Butler. Upon these charges or something like them, we expect the attempt will be made to im- peach the President at the coming session of Congress. We undertake to say, however, that no bill of impeachment will pass the House, and that if put to the test it will hardly receive more than forty or fifty votes or the strength of the extreme radical taction. On the other hand, we deem it highly probable that the effect of the impending November elections will be to bring the conservative re- publicans of Congress and the Executive into that happy accord which will put an end to this impeachment gcheme of the Jacobins and bring the outlying Southern States to a wise acceptance of the constitutional amendment. As the controversy stands between the Presi- dent and Congress it affords no facts or overt acts for an impeachment, and in what Mr. Johnson may do lies the alternative, not only of a two-thirds majority against him in each house to the end of his term of office, but that other and saving alternative of a balance of power in his fuvor with the restoration of the South on the basis of the constitutional amend- ment, \ The Disturbed Relations of Ru: tria—Auother Sick Man. It is announced from Europe.that there is dangerous complication in -the relations bo- tween Russia and Austria, and it ig intimated by the London Times that the immediate cause of this mew European trouble is to be found in Russian intrigues for the further disintegration of the Austrian empire. ‘It was hardly to be expected that Russia, whose frontier has been carried so. far westward solely by the dismem- berment of other nationalities, should preserve her equilibrium in view of the spectacle that Austria has presented in the past summer; and it seemed not at all natural that ehe’ should remain quiet while Europe was radically re- constructed and settled into a new balance. In the position of Austria, assailed on the north and the south, there was an opportunity for Russia to settle the score of revenge that she had against her neighbor for the fuilure to come forward when England, France and Italy joined hands with Turkey against the giant of the north. Moreover, this troubled position of Austria afforded a most tempting occasion to Russia in another respect. Austria, it must be remembered, is a composite empire, and was and Aus even more eminently such last summer than | now. Her great elements of population, divided by races, were Slavic, German and Italian. The success of the war against her deprived her at a blow of nearly her whole Italian ele- ment and so crippled her in the German element that she is no longer regarded os a German Power. Seeing these portions of the Austrian empire thus reverting to their original nationalities; seeing the Italians of Austria absorbed in one direction and the Germans in another, it is only natural that Russia, the great Slavic Power, should conceive the possibility of “finishing the matter by an absorption of the Slavs. We cannot argue that she did not conceive that possibility by her having apparently kept quiet; for the war was very short and the con- ceptions of Russian politics are sometimes very slow. Russia, moreover, may have a more effective way of operating in this matter than by open war. Indeed, open war for the pur- pose of the obliteration of Austria would in- volve the interference of the Western Powers. In the midst of the recent war the Emperor of France intimated to Prussia that Austria must not be debased from her position as a great Power. Sucha Power in her place is a necessary part of the balance, and the Empe- ror allots to her thirty millions of people. Another war, therefore, to strip the new sick man of additional millions of her population could not be permitted, and Russia works by surer means, in the intrigues, doubt- less with the people, hinted at in the telegram. Whatever circumtances may give rise to it, or whatever form it may take, it seems certain that the next col- lision in Burope must be on the border line between these two Powers. Austria shut out of Germany, definitively limited in every other direction, can only grow towards the east, and can only do that at the expense, directly or in- directly, of Russia. Russia, while resisting, will also always be aggressive. Such is the char- acter of the two Powers—the persistency of the one and the stolidity of the other—that di- plomacy can only avert the collision for a time. It must come, but we do not believe that it will come just yet. Iwpnovewents on Bnoapway.—In another column of to-day’s issue our readers will find asketch of the improvements and business changes which have taken place on Broadway during the past year. The extent and rapidity of these changes seem almost incredible. Whola blocks of shabby looking buildings disappear, and in their stead are erected palatial stores for the sale of every known article of merchan. dise. Wholesale dealers in almost every branch of business pour into the great centre of trade, willing to pay the most enormous rents rather than be out of the fashion, while retailers are being pushed up town to find quiet and securi- tv under the shadow of Grace churoh. It does not require = prophetic vision to see that in a few years Broadway, trom the Battery to Union aquare, will be devoted exclusively to the wholesale business. Now, while these improvements are going on, is the time to erect fire-proof buildings, in- atead of the gingerbread work too frequently put up from motives of avarice or short-sighted economy. To those who have the destiny of he upper half of Broadway in their hands we would say, make it a point to erect your stores in such » manner that they will stand an ordi- nary amount of heat without crumbling to pieces ; build heavier walls than those gene- rally used in the construction of tenement houses, and don’t forget that iron stairways are quite a preventive against the spread of fire from one floor to another. In short, make your buildings as substantial as you can—fire- proof if possible—and you will never have cause-to regret the additional expense. The Congressional and Coanty Nominations. The several nominations for the Congres- sional districts embraced in this city and county are now nearly all made, and the can-, didates who are in the field have been put torth some by Tammany, some by Mozart, some. by the McKeonites, some by the Democratic Union, some by the old committee republicans, some by the new committee republicans, and some probably by other organizations or by all combined; for there are so many factions now in the city that it would puzzle a Phila- delphia lawyer to keep track of all of them. One fact, however, is certain in the midst of the muddle, and that is that some nominations are so much better than others in the same dis- trict, and some so much ‘worse than others, that it is not a difficult matter for the honest and independent portion of the people to de- cide for which to cast their ballots. For instance, the nomination of Fernando Wood is one eminently “not fit to be made” and not fit to be endorsed. He comes forward, it is true, as a stump candidate, self-nominated; for no recognized organization would have had the hardihood to father his original nomina- tion. But he is backed up by bargains with the Tammany rump and the Corporation “ring,” by which he hopes to secure his elec- His character is too well known in the city to require any argument against his re- turn to Congress. He ought to find enough to attend to in collecting his advanced rents ont of the city and his percentage out of the dif- ferent offices which he has farmed out, without seeking to better his fortune at Wash- ington. According to the revenue .returns Mr. Fernando Wood represents that he has no income. He had better follow some respecta- ble business, where his talents will enable him to make some return upon which to pay taxes in support of the government, than waste his time at attempts to get into Congress, Mr. Darling, who is Mr. Fernanda’ Wood’s oppo-. nent, is a member of the present Congress, and as he voted for'the constitutional amendment, and always represented bis district with fidel- ity ‘and ability, he sbould be returned to the next, Every. honest and independent voter must choose Mr. Darling in preference to tion. Fernando Wood. In two other districts, Messrs. James Brooks and Chinler are the nominees of several of Both theas gentlemen were in the last Congress, and both afforded aid to the radical Jacobin, Thad Stevens, in his efforis to keep the Southern States unrepresent- ed in Congress. They stood at the back of the leader of the radical revolutionists at the most the democratic factions. important crisis of the session and enabled him with their asssistance to temporarily over- come the conservative element in the House. Whether their course was the result of ignor- ance or was dictated by a mischievous design to help the radical fanatics for partisan pur- poses, it is equally conclusive against their fitness fora seat in the next Congress. If returned, they will again be found standing at the back of Butler and Stevens and doing all in their power to secure the saccess of the Jacobin plot. In the Fourth district Fox and Greeley are pitted against each other—Fox on the demo- cratic and Greeley on the republican side. Fox is very little known out of the lower part of his district, and very few persons ever heard of him before. Horace Greeley is very well known, and everybody has heard of him. But, however well disposed we might be towards Mr. Greeley, we cannot help him unless he He should put some small helps himself, change in his pocket and go round among the grog shops of his district and electioneer tor himself, if he desires success. The other Congressional candidates do not amount to much, and it is immaterial, so far as the people are concerned, which of them may happen to win. In the County offices, Mr. Hackett is the nominee of one party for Recorder, and Mr. Sedgwick of the other. Mr. Hackett has been tried in the office and has made a very good Recorder. Asa faithful and efficient officer he deserves the support of the electors, and should be returned. For Register there are two prominent candi- dates, John M’Cool and Brigadier General Charles G. Halpine, well known as private “ Miles O'Reilly.” Mr. M’Cool is the Fernando Wood candidate, and is endorsed by Tammany in accordance with bargains made by the Cor- poration “ring.” Miles O'Reilly ought to be lifted up on the shoulders of the people and returned. He is willing to accept the office, and the electors ought to be willing to give it to him. M’Cool has held it for the last two years and has pocketed his eigaty thousand dollars out of it, including the per centage paid to Fernando Wood. Well, that ought to satisfy both of these gentlemen, and they should be willing in all decency to retire and give a poor soldier of the wara chance to secure a few rations for himself. The candidates before the people for the important office of Surrogate, are Gideon J. Tucker, the present incumbent, and Mr. James M. Smith, Jr. We know the junior Smith of old. He has been already tried in the balance and found wanting. He is not in any degree or capacity «fit man for the office of Surrogate. There is no more responsible and important position in the county. Vast interests depend upon the competency and the honesty of this officer. Large sums of money go through his hands, and great temptations may be held out toswerve him from the strict line of duty. The position of Surrogate has always been filled by gentlemen of high character and capacity, in whose hands property can be safely intrusted. Judge Tucker is such s man. He is © good lawyer and an upriabt, honest citieea, the position he now so acceptably fils, low its directions. Ny Modern Morality in This Metropolis. Nothing in any other Christian country or in modern times has approached the indecent and demoralizing exhibition at Wheatley’s theatre and the public interest demands his return to We put out this guide board in relation to a few of the prominent candidates for election in November and recommend the electors to fol- in Ireland as it is represented, Mr. Bright will find in it a large suxiliary force—that is, pro- vided that the organisation be guided by wiser counsels than those which Stephens offers to the excited thousands in this country, who patriotically and honestly applaud his sentiments while they are ignorant of and have not measured his capacity to realize them. Mr. Stephens says that if the people in America knew all that he was doing and going to do their newspapers would not write in this city. The model artists are more re- spectable and less disgusting, because they are surrounded with a sort of mystery—something like ® veil of secrecy—which women do not look behind and which men slip in stealthily to see. But the almost nude females at Wheat- ley’s are brought out boldly before the public gaze, Mixed crowds of men and women con- gregate nightly to witness this indecent specta- cle, exbibited in the most public manner. Fortunately for the otedit of the city there are many more men than women, and, of course, no respectable female, unless she be entrapped to go without knowing what she is going to seo. We venture to say that if the same grossly immoral exhibition had been made int’ Greene street or any other such locality the police would have felt it their duty to have arrested all the parties and to have broken it up atonce. But because it is on Broadway and in one of the established theatres they suffer it to goon. The place, however, does not change the character of the representation. As a matter of course Wheatley is making money. It is just such a spectacle as will make an excitement and draw those crowds of loose characters and people with morbid, prurient tastes which may be found in all large cities. Then there are a great many people who come in from the surrounding country to get a glimpse of this new thing. We must not, therefore, give credit to our citizens for being the only supporters of the shocking performance, It gets a great deal of support from the countrymen who come to town expressly to see the “elephant.” Any man who is base enough to introduce an indecent spec- tacle in any large city—the police allow- ing him to do so—can certainly make money, as Wheatley does, because there is always in the lower and immoral strata of society a auf- ficient number’who want to seo it. It is re- markable to witness crowds going to see the highest order of art, as shown by Ristori, and at the same time crowds going to see the most disgusting scenes. Such is the mixed society as they do about Fenianism. Are we not as well entitled to know what he is doing as the British government? Would it not rather be good policy to communicate information to those who are disposed to be his friends than to publish it to his avowed enemies? From the speech of Mr. Stephens, at Jones’ Wood on Sunday it is evident that he does not believe in that kind of policy. Tue Two Rivos—A Qussmion or Fare Piat.— Mayor Hoffman's organs are’ many of them actively opposing the election of Mr. John Morrissey, the Tammany nominee for Congress in the Fifth district. The Corporation “ring” shows-every disposition to back out pf its bar- gain with the prize ring, and, disregarding a very old adage, refuses to acknowledge its ob- ligations of honor to its own friends, This ta not fair play, and is inconsistent with the ruler of- the prize ring,. however much it may be in accordance with the practice of the Corpora- tion ring. The latter could not have secured Mr. Hoffman’s nomination without the active and vigorous aid of Mr. John Morrissey; and has moreover been ready enough to use Mr. John Morrissey’s money to aid in electing their nominees. Instead of allowing his organs to oppose Mr. Morrissey, Mr. Hoffman. ought, ta make a few speeches in favor of his election. Mr. Morrissey would have fought to secure Mr. Hoffman's nomination, and Mr. Hoffman ought in return to speak for Mr. Morrissey andnot selfishly do all his stump talking for himself, Besides there is no good reason why Mr. Hoff- man’s friends should oppose Mr. Morflakey. Mr. Morrissey would decide as accurately’as a Congressman on the different questions that may arise ss would Mr. Hoffman as Governor of the State. However, it is a quarrel between the two rings, and they must fight it out among themselves. Our only interest as outsiders ie to hold the parties up to their bargain and te see fair play. Tue Hanato's Jons.—Some of our silly, en. vious and malicious contemporaries sre talk- of a great city. decency and morality. The Condemned Fen! Fenian: correspondence with arrested in company with armed men. acceding to President Johnson’s expressed general opinion seems to be that the Canadian raid is @ past political event and that every- thing connected with it should be forgotten. The Fenians had a grand gathering in Jones’ Wood on Sunday to hear the last speech and declaration in America of the chief organizer Stephens, and it occurs to us that they were treated to & most extraordinary oration. Little was said about the case of the condemned men in Toronto, and that little was forced from the speaker by an outside call ; but the British government were duly notified of the time when Mr. Stephens was going to attack them in Ireland with an army of two hundred thou- sand men, so that they can be prepared for him. The first of January is the limit affixed to the declaration of war and the beginning of the bloody contest. If Stephens is in earnest he has taken very bad steps to insure success by warning the enemy of his intentions; but the fact of thus openly exposing his plans proves the insincerity or the foolishness of the designer and insures the failure of any attempt thus heralded. The best chief organizer for Ireland just now is Jobn Bright, who is combining all the op- pressed classes in the three kingdoms for a great radical remedy of grievances, including that curse of Ireland, the tenant right system. He bas not attacked the Fenians, nelther hae he sought them. If that element is ae stroue Notlting, as we said, has been witnessed in a theatre in modern times so indecent as this spectacle. We can imagine that there might have been in Sodom and Gomorrah such another place and scene, such a theatre and spectacle, on the Broadway of those doomed cities just, before fire and brimstone rained down upon them and they were busted in ruins. There were, too, we believe, similar places and scenes in Pompeil, just os that city ‘was-buried beneath the eruption of Vesuvius. We may be saved, perhaps, from a like fate on account of the many good people there are in New York; on account of our benevolent insti- tutions, numerous churches, extensive charities and enlightenment in other respects; but that does not do away with the guilt of tolerating or permitting such an exhibition to exist as that at Wheatley’s. Our respectable citizens should cry it .down and the police should arrest all engaged in such a violation of public and the Fighting Mr. Seward has entered into a diplomatic the British Minister, recommending, in the name of the President, tenderness, amnesty and forgiveness in the cases of Father McMahon and Colonel Lynch, now under sentence of death at Toronto, mainly upon the ground that their offence was @ purely political one, and partly because they are citizens of the United States. We think it quite likely that the request will be complied with. Canada has nothing to gain by putting these men to death, and she may suffer severely by a course of retaliation on the part of the Fenians if the sentence is carried out. No charge of bloodshed by their own bands was proved against the prisoners. It was not even shown that they were belligerents, although One was there, according to his own positive state- ment, simply as @ newspaper correspondent, and the other as minister of religion, to at- tend to the wounded and dying, and no doubt in this capacity his services would have been tendered alike to the combatants on both sides. The only apparent evidence to connect Father McMahon with the hostile movement was an expression of his to bring the valises slong, as the “poor boys” might need what- ever comforts they contained. This was the voice of humanity rather than that of crime. In view of these facts, and considering that material witnesses for the defence would not be permitted to appear in Canada, there can hardly be much difficulty in the Government wishes in this matter. That there is a deep sympathy in this country for the unfortunate men there can be no doubt, not alone among the Fenians, but among all classes. The ing about the jobs of the Hznatp. With the jobs and the kind of jobs of which they speak we have never had anything whatever to do; but there are a few jobs of another kind which we have successfully carried through, ‘The first job was the Naw Youre Hxratp itself, and that has amounted to. about ¢ of dollars, The next job was,the introduation of upon this job in maps; reports and reporters, and we believe that it bas been worth about ¢ hundred millions to the city. Then we took sup the Central Park job, which is worth as much more, and nobody can’ deny that we have made a hit with that. Our last job, no yet completed, is the great Boule vard, which we originated and carried through the Legislature after half « dozen of our neighbors had failed is their plans. They have been immensely bene- fited by the Boulevard, But we had to remove them from office in order to get anything done, and so they still retuse to speak to us. This job has improved the property at the upper end of the island about fifty millions oj dollars. These jobs are all with which we have been connected, and it will be noticed that they are very large ones and that they have been splendidly beneficial to the city and our fellow citizens. The twenty thousand dol- lar jobs about which our contemporaries talk are beneath our notice. We snap our fingers atthem. They may do for such donkeys as the editors of some of the small fry papers here ; bnt we wish it to be distinctly understood that we never deal in jobs of leas than five and that as an indispensable prerequisite it must be shown to us that the job will benofit the whole public and not any little clique of speculators. THE BALTIMORE TROUBLES. ‘The Cane for the Prosecution Clesed—The De- fence to be Heard To-Dayi &c. Barrons, Oct. 29, 1966, The examination of the charges against tho Police Commissioners was resumed to-day at Annapolis. Some twenty witnesses were examined, when, at one o'clock, the prosecutton announced that they were through.

Th well informed quarters it is believed that the new board will be appointed before nine o'clock on Thursday Morning. The Board of Registration decided to-night to receive no more applications except such as have be- come of age since the Mayor's election. THE BROADWAY RAILROAD TROUBLE. The confusion and obstruction to travel in Broadway, between Ann and Fulton streets, yesterday, consequent upon the laying of the tracks of the Dry Dock Railroad Company, was very annoying, and excited the indigna- tion of number of people. Crowds stood on the sidewalks all the forenoon looking at the workmen en- gaged in relaying the pavement and putting the finishing touches to the road. The laborers worked incessantly, as if fearful of an injunction or some other interruption, and the result was that the Russ pavement, which re- quires to be laid with a great deal of careand nicety, was relaid in the most clumay and irregular manner, ruts were commencing to form between the tracks be- fore dark, and unless the pavement is taken up again, and laid as it eught to be, there will be terrible times “huang et and cartmen. jort time that the care were runnin; terday confusion in front of the uew HeraLp aiid ing was a regular Babel—cars, stages, express wagon: carriages, and all sorts of other vehicles were jam: in an altogether hopeless manner, while the ice esmayed in vain to pilot indies and cbildren across the roads. Gentlemen on business errands were do- tained, and many had to follow the example of the errant street dogs, and creep under the horses’ bellies in order to arrive at their destinations. However, in spite of all complaints and unpleasantries there is probably no remedy, as the company bave their charter and can set all injunctions at defiance. WESTCHESTER INTELLIGENCE.
