Wo have a European news report dated to the 12th of November, with newspaper details of our cable des- patches to the Slat of October. The London Times recommends that mercy be ex- tended to the condemned Fenians in Canada, in compli- ment to the request of President Johnson. The news of a Spanish insurrection in Barcelona is contradicted. Tho war in Japan is ended and the Tycoon dead. Mr. Bright’s speech in Dublin may be regarded as avery highly important pronunaciamento to the Irish landlords and corpofation of the Established Church, as well as the agitators who distract and divide the people. If his advice be followed the heavy grievances of the country may be redressed in a peaceable manner. The French holders of Moxican bonds have com- monced a serious agitation among the members of the legislative “body looking to their repayment. In a cir- cular addressed to the representatives they assert, In other words, that the French government is bound for the debt if it is not acknowledged that the Emperor Napoleon and his Ministers deceived them by false state- ments as to the condition of affairs in Mexico. It ts said that the ex-Empress of Mexico has proposed 0 Napoleon to ‘“‘make’’ Maximilian King of Poland. The vote cast for Victor Emanuel in Venice was ton thousand in excegs of the names inscribed on the rogistor. Consols were at 89%{ for money yesterday, Nov. 12, in London. United States five-twenties were at 60%. The Liverpool cotton market was heavy yesterday, with middling uplands at fourteen three-fourths pence. THE CITY. Tho celebrated Jumel will case came to trial yesterday @ the Supreme Court, Vircuit, before Justice Joseph F. Barnard, and, after an opening statement by Mr, O’Conor for the plaintiff, the testimony of several witnesses on ‘both sides, including Mr. Nelson Chase, the principal plaintiff, and Rev. J. Howard Smith, the principal de- fendant, and a charge by the Justice, the case was submitted to the jury, who, afler a few min- utes’ consultation, returned into court with a verdict in favor of the plaintiff on all the ‘ssues framed. Mr. O’Conor intimated bis willingness to have the jury find a supplementary statement ex- culpating Rev. J. Howard Smith from having used oercion, fraud or undue influence in obtaining the ex- eoution of Madame Jumel’s will—set aside by this ver- dict—but the jury declised to do so. The case had deen actually settled between the parties before coming into court, and the trial was only gone through as a moceasary formality, It is understood that under this sottioment, $89,500 isto be paid by Mr, Nelson Chase, of which $10,000 goes to the Rev. J. Howard Smith, $10,000 to the church at Carmansville, the various reli- gous and charitable societies are to get the sums respect- ively assigned to them in the will, and the balance is to be divided up among the lawyers, The heirs-at-law got $40,000, and the estate passes into the possession of Mr. Chase. The libel suit of Dawson vs. Jay, which has been be- fore the courts for some time, has been finally adjudi- cated. The action wagfor libellous matter published in & recent edition of the Federalist, the particulars of which wore spread before our readers some months ago. De- fendant's counsel, it will be remembered, claimed the matter was not libellous and demurred. The demurrer was argued and decided against the defendant by Judge Cardozo at special term of the Common Pleas. This de- Cision was appealed from, and the general term of the Common Pleas bave affirmed the opinion of the single Justice In the Prize Court yesterday Judge Betts issued a final decree of condemnation against the blockade runner Stephen Hart, captured by the United States storeship Supply in 1862. The amount of prizo money, $254,791 23, fs to be distributed to the officers and crew of the Supply. ‘The case of Charles C. Lockwood against the New York Contral Railroad Gompany, in the United States Circuit Court, Judge Smalley presiding, was yesterday given to the jury, who will return a sealed verdict to-morrow. A large number of ship and wharf owners held a meet- ing yesterday at an office in Canal street, to determine upon such representations to be made before the Senate Committee, which meets in the City Hall to-day, as will most favorably affect the increasing commerce of this city and Brooklyn. It was determined that a committes of tive be appointed to take charge of the whole matter, which wae aocordingly done, and the mecting ad- Journed Robert Parker, an Irishman, who had his leg crushed by being run over by a car on the Sixth Avenue line on Monday evening, the Sth inst,, died yesterday. An in- quest was beld, and city railway companies were advised to make some arrangement to prevent persons from at- tempting to get on or off by the front platform while the cars aro inmotion, Joba O'Donnell, who had his log crushed by acar onthe Third Avenue line on Sunday, also died yesterday, William Croft was charged before Commissioner Os- born, yesterday, with dealing in the lottery and business without a license, The defendant's con admitted the facta, but contended that the law heon decided unconstitutional by Jndgo Pleld, Of New Jersey, and Justi¢e Nelson in the Northern aistrtet, The case is suit! on.

Consequent on the continued heavy receipts, amount- ing in the aggregate to 7,200 head, and the overstocked meat markets, the market for beef cattle has naturally ruled dull and heavy throughout the week, and prices have declined 3¢c. alc. per Ib., though in some cases a still further concession was granted, the decline being chiefly on common cattle, which sold at prices ranging from 8¢. to 120. Extra cattle sold in some cases at 17c., but at the close were while good was being 15c, Milch cows were in scarcely so firm, with an occasional at $120, and fair to good at calves were unchanged, being for the former and %c. a 83<c. for the latter. market bas experienced a heavy decline, being effected at a reduction of fully 250. per Ib., owing to the heavy arrivals and the large decline in the pork market. The market opened with about forty-six car loads on sale, of which quite a number were left unsold. We quote best quality 7c. a T%c., fair $0 good TXc. & ‘1340., and common and rough 7c. a 73<c. The total re- cetpts were 7,117 beeves, 76 milch cows, 1,026 veal calves, 27,420 sheep and lambs, and 17,771 swine. MISCELLANEOUS. ‘Our city of Mexico correspondence is dated October 29, and gives most interesting details of Maximilian’s abdication. The fact of his intention was unknown until he was almost ready to start. On the road he met General Castelneau, but made only a passing salute, and would not admit of a conference. Later it was thought he would return to the capital, but in that case Marshal Bazaine had intended to send him under guard to Vera Cruz. Castelneau was being treated very cavalierly by Bazaine, who is busy making new contracts for army eupplies, and for a length of time which does not look toa speedy depar- ture of the troops. Assoon as Maxamilian is known to have left the country Bazaine will declare himself dic- tator. By special telegraph from Brownsville we learn that General Ortega and his suite arrived at Brazos Santiago, off the mouth of the Rio Grande, on the 3d inst., and were immediately arrosted by the commanding officer of the United States troops at that point. Ortega published a proftst against this act in the Rio Grande Courier of the 7th instant, in which he claims that the United States is thereby interfering indirectly by armed force in the solution of questions local to Mexico, Canales had offered to surrender Matamoros to Tapia, in obedience to orders from Juarez, on certain condi- {ong which the latter declared unworthy of notice, and said he would attack the town at an early day. Escobedo had been ordered to settle the difficulty by Juarez, and ‘was expected to start for Matamoros on the 6th inst. with Gfteen hundred men and six pieces of artillery.- It is probable, therefore, that |in conjunction with Tapia he will-attack Matamoros about the 10th or 12th Inst, ‘William Duggan, one of the Toronto prisoners, was acqaitted yesterday. A number of Irish’ strangers wero noticeable inthe court foom, and it is thought they intend assisting in the forcible release of the condemned prisoners, Senator Michael Murphy denies having writ- ten the letter recently attributed to him, im which he said the Irish had adhered to their enemies by voting the democratic ticket. Affidavits have been made in Buffalo charging Acting Master William G. Morris, of the steamer Michigan, with being # British spy. Considerable ill feeling still exists aniong the Catholics in regard to the jury's partiality towards the Protestant Fenians. The present term of the Toronto court will close on Saturday, and another will commence on Monday, when objections may be made to the rulings of Justice Wilson in the case of Lynch, McMahon and thejother condemned prisoners. quantities of war material continue to arrive in Oatiada, and the whole military force at Montreal was re- viewed yesterday. Twelve thousand pounds sterling have been subscribed in r England, for the relief of the Labrador fishermen, and Queen Victoria had writtea a letter inclosing £300 and expressing deep sym- pafliy for the destitute people. It is.understeed in Que- bec that the government will supply all necessary relief. A document announcing important particulars relative to the course to be pursued by the confederation delegation in England will, it is said, be made public soon after their deperture. Our Havana correspondence is dated November 6. The customary reception was given to Manzano, the new Captain General, on his arrival. His first proclamati evinces a settied determination to suppress the sla\ trade. ‘The bark Onward, recently arrived at San Francisco, brings news from the Russian-Americen Telegraph Ex- pedition to August 22. The men of the expedition were housed for the wintor at Petropaulovsky. Colonel Bulk- ley would probably arrive in san Francisco next month. Count Anasoff, the Russian Commissioner, had gone to Nicolaufeki. Five negroes ‘were arrested on Saturday at Fortress Monroe for murdoring Thomas Woden, a storekeeper, on the road from Yorktown to Williamsburg They con- feased their guilt and implicated four other negroes in the decd. The Freedmen’s Bureau took charge of them. Judge Bartol will render his decision in the habeas corpus case of the Baltimore Police Commissioners at noon to-day. ‘ Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, Attorney Genoral of New Jersey for the last six years, has been appointed United States Senator by Governor Ward, to fill the vacancy oc- casioned by the death of William Wright. Abreak in the Erie Canal st Palmyra is reported which will probably take twelve days to repair, and virtually close navigation for the remainder of the season. A terrific gale visited Lake Ontario on Sunday, in whioh two sehooners wore totally wrecked and five con- siderably damaged, The schooner Worthington weat ashore at Cleveland, Obio, on Sunday night, and three men were drowned while attempting to rescue the crew, ern van ver barpenet to have been murdered at Hoog’s Corner, in Rensselaer county, ts still alive. He was badly wounded, however, but will, it is sup- posed, survive. Ixvicrurst or “Saxrorp Conover.” —Justice is likely to be meted out to one of the prin- cipal conspirators who is alleged to have been employed by Judge-Advocate Holt in the scheme to connect Jeff Davis with the assas- sination of Mr. Lincoln; for we observe that the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia have indicted the redoubtable Santord Con- over (alias Dunham) for perjury. The facts in this case are, doubtless, remembered, and no one will regret to see brought to punish- ment such an infamous character as this man, who, if he was not the concocter of the hor- rible charges against Davis, was, at least, the pliant and willing tool of persons in « higher sphere and the principal agent in the dis- graceful transaction. Wherever the blame rests for conceiving and working up this conspiracy against tho life and repatetion of the ex-Presi- dent of the so called, Gonfederacy, it is morally Certain that the tan Conover did his part of the basingss ‘boldly and unscrapulously, though the denouement Proves that he was not quite, &s reliable or as cunning as his em- ployers supposed. Tho intimate connection of Judge Holt with this disreputable affair has been the sub- ject of much comment. The authenticity of bis letters to Conovor, which are in our posses- sion, was at first denied by Judge Holt, but, upon comparing his note of denial with the letters to Conover, we found the handwriting to be marvellously similar. Since we made that fact public, which we did at the time, no attempt has been made to deny the paternity of the Holt-Conover letters. We still hold these documents, and, of course, if it becomes necessary for the fur- theranoe of the ends of justice, we can have no objection to the proper authorities looking at them or perhaps procuring certified copies of them, if it be essential in making up the record af the casa, ‘The Expected Moteeric Shower—The Sublime Visitation of 1833, and Gome ReGections ‘Theresa. From the observations and calculations of astronomers it is eupposed that to-night or to- morrow night we may have a return, though most likely in a milder development, of the sublime visitation of “the falling stare” of November 13, 1833—the estimated cycle of that strange phenomenon being completed. We have at all events deemed the subject sufficiently interesting, in this returning calm from our late political excitements, to repro- duce in our columns to-day a copious chapter of information relating to the meteoric exhibi- tions of 1833, We think it will prove, with some passing philosophical reflections of celestial nature, an agreeable diversion to our readers from the clashing opinions and pur- poses of our grovelling earthly politicians, They, like the poor of the Twelve Apostles, are always with us; but the sight of one of the most awful of the revelations of St. John is the event of a lifetime, a century or a thoussnd years. Of the wonderful meteoric shower of 1833, the writer—in Washington at the time—has some vivid recollections, The house was roused between three and four in the morsing by the earnest and honest alarm of a negro man :—* Wake up, massa! Wake up, all, and come to judgment! De stars is falling from hebben and de end of de world is come!” A look from the window was sufficient to justify this startling announcement; and on going out into the open air a spectacle was pre- sented, perhaps, without a parallel on this planet since it was adapted to the existence of man. Far as the eye could reach all around the horizon the falling meteors, like a shower of descending rockets, and thick as a shower of hail, filled the sky. They camo not in hun- dreds or thousands, but in countless millions, constantly in view. It was a phosphorescent hail storm. The night was bright, and calm, and yet these showering meteors, as if made from the pressure of northeast wind, descended in parallel lines with remarkable uniformity, at an angle of about sixty degrees. They were of a pale whitish light. Immediately overhead they were extinguished at an immense distance above us, but to the observer from a point near the foot of Capitol Hill they seemed to touch the crest of Arlington Heights, beyond the river. Their general light, an unearthly glare, gave a ghastly appearance to objects around us, and especially to the human coun- tenance. Nor was the phenomenon limited to the white streaming meteors. Occasionally a luminous body would appear among them of a more brilliant whiteness or redness, as if ten thousand of them had been fused into one, dashing off at an erratic tangent through the fiery shower like a wild horeé dashing from the flank through an advancing column of millions of glittering bayonets, There was no noise accompanying this wonderful display of celes- tial fireworks, except during the presence of) one of those larger erratic stragglers, when, to the ear or to the excited fancy, there came the sound as of the whispering wind in a grove of cedars. The firmament, from the first, over a until the light of the falling meteors was merged and lost in the superior light of the approach- ing king of day, and the night, soft sod plea- sant at the beginning, ended in s strangely crisp and frosty morning. Such was the magnificent meteoric exbibi- tion of 1833 at Washington, It was in 1882-88 also that we had the great nullification excitement in South Carolina and a reform agitation in England, something like that of the present day. It was about the same time that Jo Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church, began his mission, from the discovery, in the western part of this State, of his famous golden plates, and their translation by an “angel of the Lord,” sccording to Smith. Now, what we want to know is, have not these strange celestial phenomena, from their electrical influences, their strange effects upon the human mind, resulting in certain manifestations? Look at the moon and its mysterious influences, according to {ts obanges, over animal and vegetable life, and especially over the human mind and body. Why, then, may we not attach some controlling influence upon the mind of man—(an electrical battery, subject, like the telegraph battery, to the influences of the electricity in the atr)— why, we ask, may not the human mind be influ- enced in certain directions by such electrical visitations as that conneeted with the great meteoric shower of 1833? Hamlet was right. “There are more things in beaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy.” A brush from the tail of a comet might, perhaps, stimulate the human intellect to the most aston- ishing perceptions or reduce the whole human family and all the animal creations of the land to the loss of sense and instinct, without the immediate loss of life. From the oldest records and traditions of our race to this day eclipses, comets and extraordinary displays of the aurora borealis and meteors have been Sgrociated with presentiments and prophecies of wars, pestilence, famines and revolutions. True it is, too, that the deeper we go into these mysteries with the researches of science the moro we are convinced that there is much my.- terious trath in these old notions, so common over all the world, in all ages. Therefore, if we have the predicted meteoric shower this night or to-morrow night, or any night this year or the next, we shall look for such elec- trical or celestial influences upon the human mind in this country as will result in a com- plete reorganization of our political partios and religious societies, and such influences io the Old World as will, among other things, bring the Holy Father of Rome to the New World for ® permanent asylum as the head of his Church, What says the fair Ophelia? “We know what wo are, but we know fot what wo may be.” Nor do we know what isboming to us from the sublime and mysterious movements and influences of visiting celestal strangers within the cirole of our solar system, And, lastly, we would commend thee heavenly Teflections as @ source of great relief to the special attention of President Jotmson and the Southern States. Tan Parsipewt ano tue Corrmmmans.—The Chioago Times, the ringleader of the oopper- head journals of the Woat. has. it appears, taken a new departure from the late elections and struck out boldly from the President's policy in favor of negro suffrage in the South. Now, if the demooratic party, or what remains of it, will only go the same way, the Jacobin republicans will be flanked and headed off, and the democracy may ride again into power on this new tack. Why nott The nogroes of the South cannot make a much worse use of the right of suffrage than is made by many of the white men of the North. Let the Hon. John Morrissey and the Hon. Fernando Wood etrike out for the fank movement of the Chicago Times. Why stop to consider old things, when all things are becoming new? The Noxt United States Seaater from New York. ‘The question who is to be the next United States Senator from New York is dividing pub- lic attention with the meteoric shower and the discovery of the mastodon. The people will watch the action of the State Legislature with as much interest as they will bestow upon the heavens to-night and tomorrow. They will expect their representatives in their cholee of a Senator to correotly reflect the popular ver- dict rendered in the late election. Senator Harris, whose term is about to expire, is a can- didate for re-election, but his success is out of the question. He has avowed himself a fol- lower of the Jacobin faction, in favor of ignor- ing the constitutional amendment as a basis for admitting the unrepresented States to Con- grees, and an advocate of the impeachment of the President. There can be but one interpre- tation of the meaning of the late election—the acceptance by the people of the constitutional amendment asa final settlement of the ques- tion of Southern restoration. The Legislature cannot disregard the will of the people by electing a United States Senator who is an avowed opponent of that policy and who would reopen the question and bring new trouble and agitation upon the country. The Hxratp has made Horace Greeley promi- nent as a candidate for the Senatorship; but it has been upon the presumption that he is and will continue to be an honest and uncon- ditional supporter of the constitutional amond- ment as a final basis for the readmission of all loyal representatives to Congress. Some fear is expressed that he may run off after some impracticable notions about “manhood suf- frage,” or “universal suffrage and universal amnesty,” or some other figment of a fanciful brain. He must come out plainly and place hbimeelf squarely upon the constitutional amend. ment, or we shall have to let him go. He may allow the long haired champions of negroes’ rights and women’s rights and free love and bran bread to fill the columns of his paper with their notions and ideas, for that is of very little consequence; but Greeley, the Senator, must show his hand and put himself on record as a fair, square constitutional amefament man, or the Hzratp must give him up as.a bad job. There “are other obstructions in Greeloy’s path, but they are’ not serious and can be re- moved without much difficulty. One contem- porary states that Greeley cannot be taken up because he is from the same section of the State with Senator Morgan. If this is really an objection thére is an easy mode of getting rid of, it. Senator Morgan is a very rich man and bas plenty of business to attend to at home without going to Washington, where he is of no earthly use to any person. We have no doubt ‘he will cheerfally resign his office im order to disembarrass Greeley’s prospects. As a Sena- tor he is a ‘dead letter.” He never speaks in the Senate and never makes up bis mind on a disputed question until the fight ie ever. His position on the constitutional amendment was uncertain until its success was assured. He can afford to resign bis office, for he is a rich. man; and his constituents can afford to accept his resignation, for he is a poor representative. We invite him to get out of Greeley’s way and we advise Greeley to lay aside all bis imprac- ticable notions, with his old white coat, and to come out squarely for the constitutional amend- ment. If he will make up his mind to follow our counsel there is no reason why Greeley should not be our next United States Senator. We have dropped the superfluous prefix of “Mr.” and spoken of Greeley, as “Greeley,” because no person thinke of talking about “Mr.” Montesquieu, or “Mr.” Socrates, or “Mr.” Plato, and it is equally out of place to talk about “Mr.” Greeley, who in some respects may be said to resemble Socrates, for he has had his life written, like Socrates, and Parton ishis Plato. We offer our apologies to Plato for the comparison. Tur Dust Banquet to Joan Brrgnt.—The dinner tendered to the great English reformer in Dublin has brought out the important fact that not only the people but the Catholic hierarchy and clergy are entirely with him in the movement that he has commenced. Letters have been received from Archbishop Cullen, Dr. Cantwell, Bishop of Meath; Dr. O’Hea, Bishop of Ross; Dr. Walsh, Bishop of Ossory; Dr. Conaty, Bishop of Kilmore; Dr. Delany, Bishop of Cork; Dr. Feeny, Bishop of Kilfencra; Dr. Keane, Bishop of Cloyne, and a number of other high ecclesiastics, heartily approving his course and thanking him for the service he has rendered to Ireland. Thus endorsed, Mr. Bright’s mission to Dublin cannot fail to be a highly successful one. The unanimity mani- fested in his regard by the Irish people is a proof that the movement that he has com- menced is not considered @ sectional one, and that it will speedily absorb all others. By the time Mr. Stephens arrives on Irish shores he will find that) his occupation as a* military organizer is gone, and that his Quaker rival has cut the ground from under him. Jobn Bright fs not less of « revolutionist than Ste- |’ phens, but his ways are practical ones and compromise no interests save those opposed to popular progress. Under his guidance the Irish people can be trained into the habit of independent political thought and action, the only things that have been hitherto wanting to render them happy and prosperous. Tar Par anv Fiera Avenva.—The condition of the street just outside of the Fifth avenue entrance to the Park exeites general comment. The dust is nearly a foot in depth and the car- tiages have to jolt over the raised tracks of the Belt Railroad, The people very naturally in- quire why the railroad company is not com- pelloed to sink its tracks to the street level, and why Fifth avenue should be so dusty, when the Park road, distant only « few inches, {s woll watered and perfeotly clean. There could be Bo better illustration of the great difference betwoen tho adminiatration of oar Street Nom, missioner and that of the Park Commission, and no stronger argument in favor of a Board of Public Works to regulate these matters and keep the streets as neat as the Park roads, a 4 BEE are first rate fellows at a St, Patrick’s dinner, a idly wake, a primary meeting or a ward election ; fall of talent of a peculiar kind that makes them “just the men for Galway,” but not for the Comptrollership. i of this city and county cannot be over- estimated ; and a person should be selected to fill it who combines personal integrity, finan- cial capacity, administrative ability, political independence, a legal education and a thorough knowledge of the tricks, schemes, devices, intrigues and knavery of the “ring” and its supporters. There are many gentle- men whom we might name who have one or two or three of these indispensable qualifica- tions; but we know of only a single candidate who has all of them and is also possessed of a private fortune sufficient to place him beyond the reach of temptation and above suspicion. That candi- date is: Judge George G. Barnard, a native of this State, a resident of this city and in every way an irreproachable nominee. He should be immediately nominated; and the late election shows that he can be easily elected, in spite of that opposition from the “ring” which is to be expected as the consequence of Judge Bar- nard’s hostility to corruption of every kind. This candidate has already been before the people in that most trying of all positions— & judge in our courts, and he will be as honest and able a Comptroller as he is a learned and upright judge. American Exterpee Orentno Carns TO THE Wortp,—The cable telegrams published in yes- terday’s Hezatp announce the concession to Americans by the ‘Emperor of China of the right to lay a cable from the mouth of the Amoor river to Shanghae, thus connecting that commercial city with this country and Russia by means. of the Collins line from San Fran- cisco to St. Petersburg. A few years more of American enterprise like that of the past de- cade will throw all Japan and China, open to the world and develop an immense traffic with those countries. Doubtless further conces- sions will be made by the Chinese for interior telegraph lines, 20 that the news of the whole empire will eventually become public to all mankind, and the Chinese wall will be practi- cally levelled. The actiop of the Emperor in this matter marks an fitiportan$ era in the progress of the world aad.of American enter- prise which ought not to pass unnoticed. FINE ARTS. Leeds’ newly opened Art Galleries, at $17 and 619 Broadway, are the moet elegant aad com- modious in the United States. Spacious and well venti- lated, with every possible advantage im the disposition of the lights most favorable for the exhibition of pictures and other works of art, they o@er a model of structures of this kind. We shall embrace an early opportunity to examine with care the attractions presented by the col- lection now on view. It embraces valuable works from eminent native and foreign artiste, such as Carl Becker, Achenbach, Hiddeman, Patois, Herring, Morris, Lauch- enwitz, Van Starkenburg, Litschaver, Duverger, Webb, Leys, Calame, Fichel (Meissonier le Petit), Robbe and Kols among Europeans; with Gignoux, Réad, Hubbard, J.
