‘ : ? rn SS Ty NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1867.—TRIPLE SHEET. 7 fwant facts would lead to the conclusion that jthe government is really more unsafe in Eng- than in Ireland, and, taken in connection the statement of the London Times that a mn directory is condacting the whole ir, having its members located in the prin- pal cities in England, looks as though we we only heard of the beginning of a well devised and seriously embarrassing move- tment, which, acting probably in concert with ‘the reform agitation, may not only give much ‘rouble to the government, but may wring from it some ameliorative measures to lighten ‘the burden of oppression in Ireland and satisfy the clamor for improved popular repre- ‘sentation in Great Britain. In any point of ‘view the state of things in that country ap- pears decidedly equally. ‘The Tariff Bill—Its Probable Defeat. An ingenious attempt was made in the House yesterday to move the Turiff bill into a po- sition that would have afforded some hope of ‘ite passage this session. Mr. Morrill offered a Tesolution to take it out of the hands of the ‘Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, to concur formally in the amendments ‘of the Senate as reported and modified by the ‘House Committee of Ways and Means, and then ‘to refer the whole matter to a committee of conference. Had this been agreed to the re- ‘port of such committee of conference, when amade to the House and Senate, would have to be voted upon as a whole, under the rule of Congress ; and it was no doubt the expectation of the friends of the bill to be able In this man- ner to press it through despite the opposition to some of its details. The resolution was, however, defeated by the significant vote of 84yeas to 86 nays, It required a majority of two-thirds to secure its passage. The bill of ‘abominations may consequently be regarded as in all probability dead for the present ses- ‘sion. Ii is not likely to be reached and acted * upon in its regular order, and the people will Tejoice over its defeat. Kentucky ww Neep or Reconstrocrion.—Ac- cording to the testimony of Governor Bram- lette, in bis late message to the State Legislu- ture, not one of all the rebel States so badly needs reconstruction as Kentucky. Her loyalty during the war was only a deadweight upon the goverment ; her loyalty since the war has been regulated by returned rebel soldiers, 2nd they are now at their old game of bushwhack- ing and burning out of Unionists as if the war ‘was still in We begin to think ita pity for Ke she did not secede; for then she would have had that wholesome chastisement which has worked such wonders in Tennessee.

A Torrent of Emigration te the United States—The Postal Monopoly of the Prince ot There and Taxis—History ef the German Relig of Feudniism—Prussian Negotiations with Nassau—Election Preparations and | State of Parties, &c. Berum, Feb, 10, 1867. The tide of emigration from Germany promises this year to swell to a real torrent, owing—besides the grow- ing attractiveness of America—to many causes conse- quent upon the issue of the late war, foremost among which is the aversion to the Prussian military conscrip’ tion felt in the recently annexed parts, which disposes many families to emigrate with the view of freeing their boys from. the servitude that would await them some fow years hence, Buteven in the old Prussian provinces the emigration movement is exceedingly strong, and in some villages one third of the population are leaving for America in the spring, and have already bespoken ‘their passage, ina body. The weekly steam packets from Bremen and Hambarg, with some five or six extra steamers, which have been engaged, have all thelr places taken up to the month of November. This, at the low average of eight hundred emizrants for each steamer on about ninety voyages in ten months, would alone give over 70,000 emigrants by steam direct from Germany, besides which a large number of sailing vessels wiil coa- tinue to take off emigrants, and the hundreds of steam- ers arriving from the States with visitors to the Paris Exhibition will draw largely upon emigration by French, Belg:an and British ports by running at reduced fares. It is believed that in this manner another 100,000 conti- nental passengers, mostly from this country, will find their way to the States: Fortunately most of the people going over now, at any rate the botter sort of them, start with the fixed resolution to proceed at once to some in- land place or Western State, instead of lagging behind at New York, where, in the event of “hard times’? coming ‘on, they might be exposed to severe suftering; wheren: in the West or Northwest the vast agricuitaral resources of those regions wil! never allow labor to become a drug. The advice given in this report by Mr. J. Sturz, the well known philanthropist, whose articles on the dwel- lings of the poor were inserted not long since in the ‘Heraxp, and who has lately returned from an extensive tour through the United States, is listened to with atten. tion by his countrymen. It may be assumed with some certainty that the “tate of Missouri, which Mr. Starz ap- ‘and 0 |; tcc of ‘oie i vent 0 large a +, of Cevioane or their descendants will always be a strong inducement for emigrants the Fatheriand to it for their place of domicile.

AVARIA The Exedus te America—Cabinet Sympathy with Prussia—Austria and France Excited— Making Ready for War—H Reforms, &e., ke. r Monon, Feb. 8, 1967. ‘The apprehension of an extension to Bavaria, Wurtem- berg, Darmstadt and Hesse of the Prussian conscription law, is already bearing fruit in the impetus given to emi gration from those countries. From present indications, I think this year will givea Jarger emigration from Germany to the United States than we have as'yet seen during any preceding year. and this exodus would be much increased if confidence were felt in the political condition of the United States. The announcement by the Premier here of the new German, or rather Prussian, policy of Bavaria hasex- cited very unfriendly comments on the part of the Aus- trian and Frenctf journals. These comments are not confined to the general daily preas, but have even found expression m the journals believed to be officially iu- spired. A Vienna government paper does not hesitate to characterize this future policy of Bavaria, if carried out in the spirit of its indicated intention, as an infraction of the@reaty of Prague, and warns Bavaria against the con- sequences. I presume this unfavorable impression or reception by Austria and France of the new policy for Bavaria had been anticipated, or, as the Bourse phrase is, discounted in advance by the government here; at any rate, there is no surprise expressed and no attempt at rejoinder on the part of the Bavarian press bas yet been published, The boyses of Parliament hero have ao- cepted, in or by their silence, the new programine, in perfect ‘ord with the Premier's request or deprecation ef discussion, One vigorous dissent was expressed in the upper house by Count Hegnenberg against the now. military cuvacripuon law, which the speaker declared would be Tumous to the prosperity of Bavaria if attempted to be put in operation, and certainly destructive of public liberty if enforced. Notwithstanding this strong lan- guage, which, no doubt, found an assenting echo in the breasts of many of his ‘hearers, no attempt at opposi- tion to the government plan was made, and so the now army Dill may be considered a foregone conclusion, In further accomplishment of the new Prussian policy the governments of Baden, Darmstadt and Wurtemberg are now in concert about their military orgaufzation, which it is intended to make in commou, and a unit in case of actual service under the command of Prussia. The new firearm for the joint forces is yet under con-’ sideration, Numerous trials have been made, and so far the choice 13 in favor of the Remington breech-loading rifle Prussia bas not signified any desire to introduce her own needle gun; but is rather likely to arm some portion of ber forces with the above mentioned American invention. In conversation with a person attached to the ‘Commission on Trials of the Various Weapons’’ here I have learned that the “Remi best firearm yet brought to the notice of this govern- ment, The intention 1s not to order the manufacture of new rmfies forthe Bavarian army, but to purchase the rignt.or patent from the inventor for hogan aud thon ‘convert th: present arm in use here (| jewils rifle), which, for a muzzle loader 16 considered the most elfect- *"fandation to she paramount question of Coreg pat In tou qui oy ge hae undor maby years, yet bus little ess has been mado in applying ARR GY ca pcconst the opposition from vasted in- tere ‘The parliament now in session, however, is likely to carry this reform, as the nay? condition of Bavans in ts foreign reiaioos, seth the not distat pras- pect of a 9 of ruling , renders commu. nity {oalfferent Tosmalier cba Areform in the Jaws is still more important in its bearing on the i ‘and moral well being of the classes to be affected yy it.

Last evening Mr. and Mrs, Barney Williams opened at this establishment to the largest house of the season, every seat being occupied, ladies even filling the gal- lery, aisles, passageways and lobbies to the dress circle and parquet, until barely standing room remained for the satisfaction of the late comers. The pieces selected for the opening of these standard favorites were, The Fairy Circle, & neat two act drama, based on 9 poetic Trish legend, and so constructed as to give both Mr. and Mra. Williams an opportunity to display their artistic ‘abilities in their especial lines; and a dashing comody, The Custom of the Country, m which Mra, Williams’ de- Mneation of the peculiaritics of Yankee “help” was the principal feature. Inthe first piece Mr, Williams, as Con O’Carolan, gave a most enjoyable rendition of the peculiarities and comical qualities of the rollicking, Puguacious, genial and credulous Irish peasant There is an mnction of humor in his per- formance that invariably carries away his audience on the tide of its rollicking merriment, and wins their involuntary applause, In this respect last eveping’s performance of the réle of Com O'Carolan was as irresist- ible as ever in its comic effecta, while the actor main- tained the truhfuiness of his picture to nature with a fidelity not often to be met with in stage representa- tions, ‘this latter quality gives, indeed, the greatest charm to Barney’s nor, again, ia he ever “‘stagey,” or stilted. He is, agan actor, artistic to naturatness, freo in the representation of rudeness, but sufficient! polished to restrain it to its natural bounds; and bis delineations of tho poasant these peculiarities have maintained a Orm hold on the appreciation of the public, who recog- nize in him the first and ‘rue stage representative of the genuine character. His performance last evening was worthy in every respect of the applause which the audience awarded it. Mrs, Williams, in both her Irish and Yankee girl delinea- tions, justified her reputation as an actress who can deal with that line of comedy business 1p a manner which is suficiently refined and modest to please the ladies as well as the geutlemen in the audience. The perform. ance of the stock company was better m every respect than vsual, and the manner in which the first pieco was put upon the stage reflects great credit on the manage- ment of the establishment. At the conclusion of the drama the favorites were called before the curtain and bowed thelr acknowledgments, but Barney declined to make a speech, which was loudly called for, The same successf! bill will be repeated this evening. New York Theatre. Lady Don commenced the second week of her engage- ment at this favorite theatre last evening under most promising circumstances, The house was thoroughly filled in every part, and by an audience of a sufficiently critical character to evince by their applause the many excellences of the comedicnne’s dramatic powers. The performance commenced with a one-act comedictta enti- tled Tne Pretty Horsebreaker, in which Lady Don sustains the character of Bella Sunnyside, a young lady of eques- trian proclivities, with considerable contempt for the stiff propriev'es of what is called polite society. This piece is certainly an improvement on Peggy Green, in 80 far as it gives her !adyship more prominence; but there is not even in it sufficient scope for the display of the peculiar ability which the fair artist possesses. Her representation of the dashing, rollicking woman of the world was very fine, and certainly gave more evidence of her power as an actress thau either of her other char- acters. The two songs—“I Love the Merry Sunsbine’’ and the “Horn of Chase’—which are introduced: into the piece gave further proof of her ladyship’s success as asinger. She certainly possesses a very good voice, Pao i with alive, taste and caer only) to upon the New York stage.
