By a special cable telegram from London to the Harazo, Gated yesterday evening, and a general news report, we have the highly important intelligence that a Fenian outbreak or ‘rising’ has taken place in Ireland and that James Stephens is very near the scene of action, if not already on the spot. Tne London journals, in words of alarm and indigna- tion, demand that ‘no mercy” shall be shown to the ‘Fenian rebels and that the movement shall be “stamped @ut'’ as was thecattle plague, which was by the slaugh- ter of the diseased animals. ‘Troops—infantry and marines—with a number of gun- boate aed quantities of war sepplies, have been de- epatcaed from England to Ireland. The London Globe, which bears a semi-official charac- ter, aseorta that @ more “serious troubie’ with the United States is at the “bottom” of the Fenian outbreak. United States Minister Adams has ronewed his demand for a settlement of the Atabama claims. ‘The London Herald, the government organ, thinks that the United States will ‘‘ondeavor to defeat’ the Fontan movement. The United States Minister in Paris has had s lengthy cable dispatch from Washington, supposed to refer to the Mexican question. Changes are looked for in the French Cabinet.

It is now sisted that the remainder of the prisoners will not be tried uoti! January. The Prisoners at Montreal are confined in very filthy cells and crowded together without regard to health. A municipal act of the Teronto authorities prohibits the appointment of Orangemen on the police, and much iadivnation has been manifested on account of it. Canadian officials state that James Stephens sailed from New York for Liverpool on Saturday in disguise. Levi Crowders, Tom Stephens and Peter Goode, all no. torious characters, who wore confined at Lebanon, Ky., on charges of robbery, were taken from the jail on savur- day night by a mob of about two hundred men from the adjoining country, and hanged.

Gold ose to 143%, and at four o'clock was quoted at 148%. There was a good deal of irregularity in commercial circles yesterday, and though merchandise was generally held higher, in response to the rise in gold, there was but little confidence in the future, which seems, for better or worse, lo bo subject to the will of the Secretary of the Treasury. His ‘policy’ is very dificult of comprehen- sion, and people are quit generally at @ loss to account for the drift of events connected with monetary affairs. ‘The only thing which appears really certain ie the ad- vance of gold. The cause of the advance is conjectural. ‘The merchandise markets, meantime, must remain un- settled and nominal until there is a more settled state of ‘Bnencial stairs. On ‘Change flour opened dull and heavy, but closed firm. Wheat advanced 1c. a 90., with ‘more doing. Corn sold at an advance of lo. a 2c. Oats ‘wore unchanged.

Oar Foreign aud Domestic Troubles and Entanglements. A few short weeks ago the national horizon seemed completely clear and sunny. The dif- ferences between the President and Oongress had betn decisively adjusted by an over- whelming popular vote. Public opinion at the North and the South was drifting towards uni- versal amnesty and impartial suffrage as the true basis of reconstruction. The English orators and organs appeared disposed to settle the Alabama claims promptly and justly. The Emperor Napoleon had promised the with- drawal of the French troops from Mexico in November. Maximilian was upon the point of abdicating. An informal alliance between Russia and the United States had been cele- brated in countless bumpers of tea and cham- pagne. There was even some talk of securing for this government an island in the Mediter- ranean, with the consent of all the European Powers, as a depot of naval supplies. Bat all of a sudden several small clouds began to darken this serene sky and a subtle coldness was felt in the air. Rumors of critical compli- cations with England crept into the news- papers. The French circular denouncing Rus- sia and the United States as dangerous Powers was read in a new and threatening light. Maximilian was practically superseded by Marshal Bazaine, and the French troops were not withdrawn. One Power after another pro- tested against our purchase of a Mediterranean island. A sensible and ominons change had occurred in our foreign relations. Whether this change was the result of the approach of the meteoric showers described in the Heratp telegram from Greenwich, and which Queen Victoria was roused from her royal bed to see, or whether a new holy alliance between the French and British governments produced this remarkable effect, it is not necessary at present to discuss. Suffice it to say that we are upon the eve of startling events, diplomatic or military, and that President Johnson may find it expedient to add a few more words to his annual message, now announced as ready for the printers. England is foundering amid asea of troubles and is likely to turn against us at any moment in a desperate death-grapple. John Bright and his faction are preaching re- form, but they really mean revolution and de- mocracy. The Fenians, armed, organized and disciplined, with James Stephens at their head, are pledged to a rebellion before next January. Canada, through her leading mon, ber clergy and her public meetings, is declaring for an- nexation with this country. The interference of our government in behalf of the condemned Fenians has been courteously received by the Canadians; but the English press, forgetting the officiousness of England during our civil war, is already growling and grumbling at the various dishes of humble pie which we have recently placed before the British lion. The demand which Secretary Seward has made for the immediate payment of the Alabama claims is answered by the appointment of a packed and prejudiced commission morally certain to decide against us. In a word, England is in a frame of mind extremely favorable to hostili- ties; the government has all the pretexta re- quired in our endorsement of the Fenians and our demand for the Alabama damages, and the only point to be decided is whether France will act with Great Britain, since the latter Power bas become too cowardly to act alone. France is in a scarcely better domestic con- dition than England and is equally anxious for some foreign complication to divert at- 44 Bammarous wecuintious ‘4 the pillve, Judge Nelson de. | tention from home gffair Navoleon bas lared jedgmonh tor he plaintis'on ll domurrern to the ff HU HE é Re [ b | f f é i be no impeachment of the President and no new civil war. On the contrary, we shall not be surprised to find Co and the t standing harmoniously upon the broad plat- form of universal amaosty and impartial suf- frage. This once arranged, all the rest will be easy. The Southern people may not accept these liberal terms at once, but they will be glad enough to do #0 before very Jong. A foreign war, which will only aggravate the in- ternal disorders of England or France, will end all our domestic troubles and give us a more perfect Union. Already Southern men are en- listing in the regular army, at Petersburg and ‘The Fenian invasion of Canada, managed mainly by Southern men, showed thet there is no great love for England in that section of the country; and the enthusiastic colebration in this olty last Mondsy. of “Evacuation Day,” “when the British ran away,” proves that the ‘old ‘revolutionary fires of animosity towards England are not yet extinguished in the North. A costly naval war would bresk down the finances of England and France, while we could more than reimburse ourselves for the war ex- penses by privateering and the confiscation foreign property, to say nothing of the capture of Canada. In such a contest we should find allies in the Fenians of Ireland, the reformers of England, the republicans and the legitimists of France and the vast hordes of Russia at- tacking France in the rear. Our superiority in generals, in soldiers, in arms, in sallors and in fron-clads, has been too recently demonstrated to be denied. We have only to press for the payment of the Alabama claims and the with- drawal of the French troops from Mexico, and whether tie result be peace or war, we shall be equally victorious and equally benefited. Let Congress and the President act together with dignity and decision, and England aad France must yield or be conquered. Enp ov Tas Paraguayan War.—The late de- feat of the allied Powers by the Paraguayan forces at Curuzu, in which it will be remem- bered the fleet of the former was much disabled and the army greatly demoralized, appears to have summarily put an end to the war. The campaign had long been delayed, the war on the part of the allies had flagged, the energy and enthusiasm of the people had drooped for eome months previously, and the signal repulse at Curuga appears to have been the last feather on the camel’s back. The tripie alliance has in consequence been violently dissolved; President Flores, cursing Lopez as the cause of the quarrel, had turned bome- ward to Urnguay with the remnant of bis army; President Mitre, of the Argentine republic, had followed his example and hastened away, gruffly declining the prof- fered assistance of the Brazilian Admiral to transport bis troops out of danger. The troops of Brazil alone remained on the ground, but it is not probable that alone they can accomplish , much more than the conclusion of a favorable treaty. The war was begun several years ago for the ostensible and declared purpose of freeing the Parana river to the commerce of Brazil and the Argentine Confederation. Western Brazil, including the rich mineral district of Matto. Grosso, bas no other outlet to the sea, and the possession of the Parana river, which is con. trolled by Paraguay, is consequently of the gravest importance to that district. Equally so was itto the Argentine Confederation, which depends entirely on the eame river for an opening to the sea,and to Buenos Ayres and Uruguay, through whose ports the products of those countries found their way to a market, Little Paraguay manages to retain her control over this stream and will continue to levy her contribution on their trade, and the Brazilians andArgentinés will have to get by treaty what they have signally failed to wrest by force of arms, Mamagers anv Tax Pustic.—We give else- where @ paragraph from the Pall Mall Gazette as to the feception in London of Mrs. Wood, once of this city, Mra, Wood was hissed. That, however, is not the important fact, as she would be hissed to a greater or less extent in any city where there was a good dramatic taste. The important fact is the airs assumed by the manager, who attempted, as the same claes of persons have done here, to manage the public a8 wellas his theatre, and dictate what they should and what they should not applaud. Ti will be seen that John Bull does not take the managerial disoiplige yory kindly. ‘Phe Motcorts Shewor tm Burepe—Nowe and Belence. We give elsewhere in extracts from the Bag- lsh papers @ full and satisfactory socouat of the meteoric shower as seon in Great Britain on the moraing of the 14th inst. English ac tronomers cstimate the total number of meteors observed at cight thousand, and give the aum- ber falling at the period of greatest brilliancy ae one bundred per minute. Nearly the whole press of the British islands dwells with more or pacar rs a coon rea of ‘Tho facts in relation to this astronomical wonder may be of profit to the public in a way in which men would hardly expect to profit by astronomy—as world. Ata period within the memory of mon still living we would have heard of the starry showers only after the Inpse of weeks; at 8 more recent pertod it would have reached us fa ten or twelve days perhaps—and that has been regarded as a wonderful result of human, progress; but.in the casein point we printed in the Naw Yous Hunatp a clear and sufficient- -ly ample account of. the event im boure after its occurrence, Tha readers of the they are given in the accounts printed in Lon- don on the 15th. Another lesson lies in this event. It is as to newspapers. For at the same time that people reflect on the wonderful progress that has heen made in the transmission of news, they must observe that the Hunatp is the only journal that is sufficiently up to the spirit of the age to use these great results of modern invention for the benefit of Its readers. We alone of the many newspapers printed in the United States gave this starry item as early as the means in buman hands would permit, Other journals, conducted on the principle that “any time will do,” will give an account of the stare, now that they can easily and economically olip it out of the English papers; that is, they will give to their readers to-day or to-morrow the news that the readers of the Hunatp-had twelve days ago; and this event conveniently fixes the exact degree in which the Hznary is ahead of the other papers. Having the credibility of our news thus bril- liantly confirmed by the very stars themselves, we need hardly turn from their sptendor to bestow a thought on the illustrious duiness of the Yale Professor whose “profound conceit” is directed to astronomy. It is, however, interesting as a matter of record that on the 16th instant Professor Loomis wrote these words to a daily paper :—* The grand display which it was sapposed might possibly occur this year has not been witnessed in the United States, and probably not in Earope, or i¢ would have been announced to us by telegraph. The telegram in this merning’s Haravp, purporting | to have come trom Greenwioh, is evidently spurfous.” Nothing could bave given any weight to these words save that their author had some reputation asa man of science, It was the Professor's reputation that was staked as against our news, and the result is known. We would advise the Professor not in future to venture to deny on the authority of his theories of | any fact stated as news in this journal. We do not expect all professors to admire the Harato. Itis an evidence of its value to the people that moss-covered gentlemen generally are not apt to like it; but they will best consider their reputations by passing on the other side the way if they choose, and not by committing themselves too broadly to a denial of its news. The Poet, of this city, which originally pub- lished Professor Loomis’ fetter, has noticed properly the confirmation of our despatch, showing thereby a' better appreciation of the spirit of courtesy that should rule in thes matters than is generally prevalent in the press. Lecrorzrs axp Lecronme.—The chairman of a lyceum committee, evidently confounding us with Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, Wendell Phillips, Heary Ward Beecher, Presi- dent Johnson, Charles Sumner or Secretary Seward, has forwarded to us the following communication :-— TO THE EDITOR OF THE AERALD. 1, N. Y., Nov. 28, 1866. As chairman of the Lecture Commities of the Jordan Lyceum I write you desiring your services as one of our lecturers during the coming winter. Please write me tn regard eS time and amount of charge, Fam, yours '7al7, wrHoNY ®. PORTER. We have been in the lecturing business for the last thirty years and have supplied the oratorical lecturers of our day with most of their ideas, grave and gay, lively and severe ; but instead of delivering our lectures from the rostrum we print them in the Huraty. The fact is that people are so anxious to hear what we have to say that no hall in the world could contain our audiences. Without straining our voice—which is quite powerful enough to be heard across a table, but which might be called weak in a public building—we are enabled to address millions of people of all classes and conditions, from kings on their thrones to pea- sants in their cabins, from traders in Africa to explorers at the North Pole. Other persons may prefer to talk to a few hundred people and see them face to face, but we lecture the whole civilized world every morning, in- fluencing thousands who have never seen us and whom we never expect to meet. Let the lyceum chairman secure the services of the small talkers and be satisfied. We are en- gaged every day for the rest of our life to leo ture the multitudes who read the Hzravp or find its articles translated into every known tongue. Gauguzy on tae True Bases or Recysrvcr- Tion—A Bir ror tae Sswatorsuir.—Greeley, being about, as he says, to start on a West- ern pilgrimage, leaves behind him the pro- gramme upon which he proposes to go into the contest for the United States Senate so plainly set forth as to induce the hope that “ it cannot be misquoted or misapprehended.” The principles to which he commits himself are, in brief, general amnesty and universal suffrage as a settlement of all our national troubles, each resting upon its own merits and independent of the other. Let us have gene- ral amnesty, says Mr. Greeley, even if uni- versal suffrage should be postponed for a time, for we cannot expect that the country will be properly settled and prosperity restored while paine and penalties are hanging over the beads of a great portion of the Southern people. To « suffrage based upon intelligence Grecley decidedly objects; for by whom, he pertinently inquires, js the standard of Intelligence neces- NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1866. dary to quilify. voter to be decided ? and he points the objection by asking whether Mayor Monroe and his police are to be the judges in Now Orleans in such s case. Greeley'’s declaration of principles has at least the morit of candor. In this view it is in refreshing contrast with Harris and Morgan, who are both non-committal politicians, upon whose position no man oan safely pin bis faith. ‘We Incline to the opinion that It will help him with the members of the Legislature from the Taral districts, to whom he i, so well known as an, efficient worker in the republican cause, ead his blunt, straightforward his influence im the Senate would be far greater than that of a score of end Harrises combined it is probable he will receive the support of all who are opposed to the radi- eal policy of Ben Butler aud Thad Stevens. It ig.to be presumed that Senator Morgen, from “bis position and associations, would deplore course of the Jacobin leaders in Congress; and revolutionary policy of these agitators, it is to be hoped that he will study the welfare of the ‘clty he represents and resign his position, so that the main diffloulty im the way of Greoley’s success may be removed. Tas Fawn Urawore i Inetanp—Iurontarr News sy ram Castu yrou Enorany.—The Fenidns are up in Ireland. The revolution which has been promised and threatened so long has already burst upon England, or else the people and authorities of Great Britain have been badly frightened by the shadow of that coming event. Onur despatches by the cable annoance that London is alive with the sensation; that the rebellion has assumed threatening proportions; that two more regi- tmaonts of troops, large detachments of marines and parts of the navy have been “urgently ordered to Ireland.” Stephens is believed to be actually in Ireland, or near at hand, to direct the Fenians, and already # serious out- break has ocourred, but of which we have ng details, The London papers of yesterday morning re full of comments on the uprising, though they give no particulars of the outbreak which is referred to... The bitterest language is em- ployed by all of them and declarations are made that “‘no meroy” shall be shown. The London Times says the rebels must be “stamped out” like the cattle plague, which was done by slaughtering the diseased cattle; the News Claims that the government must act promptly and qiths “relentless hand;” the Telegraph ‘wants to use “an iron heel,” and the Slandard says the captared Fenians “should be left to the extreme rigor of the law,” while the organ of Earl Derby announces positively that no meroy will be shown to those who are cap- | ' tured, The people here will look with the utmost fm- patience for the further particulars of what thus early promises to be a revolution of more than ordinary dimensions and of absorbing interest. The United States will feel the more interested in the Fenian struggle since. the English papers insist on intimating that Great Britain entertains evil designs egaitat us. A semi-official organ, the Globe, announces that serious difficulties with America are at the bot- tom of tho Fentan movements, and it is also announced that Minister Adams has made a positive demand for the payment of the Ala- bama claims. But England will soon learn wisdom after the first flush of excitement is over; for she knows well enough that a rebel- lion in Ireland and a war with the United States are more than she can stand. Tar Broogtyy Ferry Disasren—To the simple fact that the ferryboat destroyed by fire at the Williamsburg ferry on Monday even- ing was on her way to this city instead of going to the Brooklyn side when the disaster Occurred we are indebted for the providential escape of.hundreds of people. Had the fire broke out when the boat was on the return trip to Williamsburg not # soul of the vast crowd which at that hour fills the boats from stem to stern would have been saved. It is not due to any precaution on the part of the ferry company that we are happily enabled to record “no loss of life” on this occasion; for there was not st hand » single contrivance to save the passengers, nor does it appear that the hands of the boat had presence of mind enough to back her into the slip when the fire was discovered, or otherwise provide for the safety of the thirty people on board. This is a feartul commentary upon the negligence which prevails in the management of the Brooklyn ferries; and when we remember that the lives of many thousands of our citi- gens are daily at the mercy of these monopolies, and may be sacrificed at any moment by such an accident as that which took place on the Williamsburg ferry on Monday, that negligence becomes a matter of vital moment, Surely there must be some law to compel the avaricious managers of these ferries to provide means of escape in case of accident; and if there is, why is it not enforced? Between the hours of five and seven in the evening and elght and ten in the forenoon tbe Brooklyn ferryboats are loaded literally to the water's edge with human freight, to such an extent that the passengers can hardly move » limb; yet we will venture to say that there are neither boats, life preservers, nor even a rope on board capable of saving ten lives. In this condition of things even a trifling accident or apanic would be attended with awful con- sequences. The companies should be obliged by laws as stringent as can be made to run additional boats on the ferries at these hours, #0 a8 to avoid the crowding which is unavoid- able by the present arrangemont. They are immensely rich. Their franchises are in fact » mine of wealth—a perfect El Dorado—and they should be compelled to pay some regard to buman life. DECISION IH RELATION TO POLITICAL TEST OATHS.
