The election of General Vogel Von Falkenstein ta to be tmpugned by protests from Konigsberg, on account of the soldicrs having been brought up to the polls and made to vote under the guidance and direction of their officers; but I may refrain until the debatew in the Reichstag disclose the Suthenticated facts, As the second session of the Reichstag was exqlusively devoted to proving election credentials nothing of gene- ral interest was presented, it having been moved and carried to first paas upon those elections the regularity of which is unquestioned; to-day hag been occupied by committeo sittings, A new Navy bill, to be placed before the Reichstag, Proposes an increase of the marine establishment to cor- respond with the size of the North German Confederacy and her thirty million souls, Herototore Prussia alone had borne the whole expense of the navy, but hence- forth the burden must be shared by all the States. Den- mark, with a population of one and a quarter million, has a'largor navy than Prossia, with nineteen million inhabitants. The latter, without any frigates at all, has but four heavy corvettes of twenty-eight guna and 400 horse power each—Arcona, Vineta, Gazelle aud Hortha— to which Denmark can oppose four frigates, the Iytland and Niols, forty-four guns each, the Sjalland, torty-two guns and the Pordenskjold, thirty-four guns; the firat three of 400 horse power, tle last of 200 horse power. Prussia possesses further four smooth deck corvettes, the Medusa and Nymphe, each seventeen gus and 200 Korse power, and Augusta and Victoria, of fourteen guns and 400 horse ower, while Denmark can boast of threo corvettes, the agmarand Himdal,of sixteen guns and 200 horso power each, tho Thor, of twelve guns and 160 horse power, and two 'poworful screw schooners, the Fylia and Dian: of throe guns aud 120 horse*power euch, To set ot Against Prossin’s sidewhee) steamors—Prussian Eagle, four guns and 300 horse power, Lorelei, two guns and 120 horse power, aud Grille, two guns and 160 horse Rebeca ss has four strong steamers, viz.: the olger Danske, Geyser, Hecla and Schicswig of six guns and 200 horse power each. The Danish gunboats cau fully compete with the Prussian, and unlike the latter are good sea boats, To mateh the powerful Danish screw ship of the line Skyold, of sixty-four guns and 800 horso power, Prussia has absolutely nothing except the haif finished corvotte Elizabeth, of twenty-cight guna and 400 horse powor, which, however, will not be completed before tho middle of next yoar, Thus far Denmark's predominance in wooden steamers; in monitors it is still grater, Prussia baving only the scarcely seaworthy Armenius, of four guns, and the ram Prince Adalbert, three guns, useful only as a coast baitery, while Denmark possesses the monitor Rolf Krake, four guna, and proved efficient in the late war; the Danebrog, fourteen guns, 400 horse power; Peder Kramm, thirty guns, 600 horae power; Danemark, twenty-thrse guns, 500 horse power; and the monitor schoouers Esbern Snare and Absalon, of three guns and 150 horse power each. The monitors ordered in England and France by Prussia, viz:—Prince Frederick Chartes, sixteen guns, 950 horse power, and Crown P ixteen gun! horse power, are not yot delivered, and it will take considerable time to ft them out for service, If Denmark does not increase her fleot, Prussia, or the North German Bund, may, in the tall of noxt year, be enabled to compete with her, provided tho monitor William I., of twenty-three guns and 1.150 horse power, now in process of construction in England, linished and fitted out by that period, It has generally been supposed that the valuable bitumen, amber, occurred only on the shores of the Baltic, where tt thrown out by the sea, or dug for in shafts and pits, But as far back as fifieen years ago pieces of it were found in such quantity on the occa- sion of digging a canal near this city, that purchased them from t amber ornaments.

From 1861 to 1861 the greatest number of fires in this city, in any one year, was 335; in 1862 it suddenly rose to 450, and has ever since kept on the increase, being 524 im 1863, 679 in 1864. and 708 in 1865, diminishing slightly ia 1836, which figures with 677 fires, No reason can be assigned for this rapid eromth eince 1861; the great augmenta- tion, however, is mostly caused by sinall Ores, otherwise the premiums on insurances of movable property would have risen, while in reality it has antly declined, And ranges at preseat as low as (ares-fourths and even two-thirds per mille (seventy-five cents) for $1,000.

Desuix, Oct. 22, 1967, f redsilion In which the Roman Catholic Population of Ireland has existed for some time past, Agoinat the maintenance of the State Churci, has at yongth found formal expression, Dy direction of the Pope am assembly of Irish bishops was held in Dubiia Mt the bogi ing of ihe present month to consider the | Ci Condemned in undisguised terms, His Eminence plainly intimates that neither peace nor prosperity will find rest- ing place, nor secret societies, and even opon insurrec- tion, coase till radical changes be made in the mode of Government. Firat of the changes imperatively demanded (s the complete disendowment of the Protestant Church, for which demand the following reasons are assigned:— The ministers of an establishment fourfied on injus- tice can have no claim to the endowments of tho past ages of our Church. They teach nother doctrine; they have abandoned her discipline; they revere not tho memory of saints; they are stran; jongst unlike our forefathers in the faith, bold not communion of the See of Peter, on whom Christ built His Churoh, and to whom h iy of them retura to her fold they are re- sd as laymen, or they are reordained, should u wish to be ranked among her clergy. During the past three hundred y. those ministers of a foreign cbureh, with some hon le exceptions, have generally supported every enactment hostile to our pedo ple that was the ministers of the not to c that during Elizabeth’s reign they wero the agents of Reventon and led our priests and bishaps to tho scaf- id; it was thus that, wuder Charles 1., they solemniy declared itto be a mortal sin to tolerate tl ‘atholio faith in this Catholic country; it was thus that, under Charles II. they frustrated the just settlement of Trish Catholic claims; thus, too, that under William III. and Anne, thoy urged on the agents of the government to deeds of bioodshed and bitter persecution, and the penal laws. Thus, in be- ginning of this century they were generally determined Opponents of emanci; when some foolish an tion, and even in later times, wicked men would fain invade he hallowed retreats of picty Protestant Archbishop of Dublin, and many othe nitaries of the eatablisted church, oncouraged them in ther criminal course, and made no secret of thi ultation with which they hailed the dawn ofa new era of persecu- tion among us. It need not be added that by many ministers, forgetful of charity and truth, the pulpit is used for the purpose of aseailing and misreprosenting Catholic doctrine, aud of exciting hostile feelings in their hearers against their Catholic fellow subjects, and that their revenues aro frequently applied to the promotion of a corrupting and degrading aystem of proselytism, It is surely time that the justice of tho English peopie should put an end to such an ablishment, which, having no mission from heaven, is unable to propagate any religion, and only serves to uphold abuses, and to create feuds and dissensions, As the position of the establishment is likely to be brought under consideration of Parliament in the course of the next seasion, if the royal commission can conclude ita labors in time, The leaders of the liberal party are using every means to procure data on which to found a strong case, With this object a “people's commission" has been appointed to visit every parish Trotnpd a compare the numbers of the imbabitanis Rom&n Catholic to Protestant, and procure such information as may asest what ia looked forward to as likely to be one of the most severe contests in connection with this coun- try. To romove the impression that the priesthood desire the revenues of the Church to be transferred to themselyes, the Cardinal cloarly seieins that such is not their wish, in the following words: — “The resoiutions of the bishops further declare that we will not accept for oursélves or clergy any State endow- mont or any portion of the property of the established church, and that we will continue to rest for the main- tonance of religion on the gonerosity of our faithful flocks, This declaration does not in apy way condemn the practices adopted for the support of the clergy in other Catholic countries, nor does it prevent us from holding that the Church has a full and independent right to possess property and to receive endowments from charitable donors, and freely to dispose of bor revonues in works of mercy and piety, and othor good works in conformity with the law of God. But for our. selves wo refuse State pensions and government! gifts, because, were we to accept them in the circumstancos o! this country, tho liberty of the clergy would be fettored, tho freo and beneficent action of the Church would be paralyzed and ite tofluence for good greatly diminished, While our poor are in such gad circumstances what more desirable than that somo share of the ample revenues of the establishment sbould bo restored to their original objects, and devoted to the relief of the sufforing members of Jesus Christ, who had been so long depri' of that assistance to which they had a fair claim? This is what the Irish bishops suggest in the resolution which thoy adopted regarding the revenues of the Protestant establishment, viz. :— ‘Tat by appropriating tlfe ecclesiastical properiy of Ireland for 4he benefit of the poor the legislature would realize one of the purposes for which it was originally destined, and to which it was applied io Catholic times.’"” Ata meeting of the mombers of the Irish Reform League held this day, the following resolution was sub- mitted :— ‘That the sounclt of the Trish, Reform League quite sym pathize with the English Reform (League, and the Engl hat under no [people allow themseives Maxsea in Emglish cities and :towna, and tr pretext whatever will the English to be ruled bya corps of gens d’arm Mr. Doyle seconded the resolution, and sald the gov- ornmont were also afraid of the volunteers, Under the retence of protecting the arms of the volunteers from Feotens, they were actually depriving the volunteers of thetr arma, Mr, Fagan observed that there soemed to be an effort making In England to excite class conflicts, Mr. Keevil said the presa of the upper classes were trying to excite the English people against the Irish for their own purposes, but the Attempt would fail, The working men, both English and Irisb, were united. dir. Mowatt said the London press were powerloss in England, They were disregarded, while the reform leaders, who spoke differently, wero cheered in the great cities and towns. During ‘he American war the English press worked day after day to projudice the English public mind against the North, and they kept till the last declaring the Soath was winning and should win; but the English people all through sympathized with the North, The resolution was put and carried, Aitbough Feniauismn has now carried the war into the enemy's camp, and makes England tho base of oper tion, “there existe considerable apprehension here another outbreak, Sorties in search of arms, examina- tion of strangora and sucn like precautions have azuin commenced. Up to the prosent there has not been any sympathy showa here with the dirturbances in Eug- land; but the mind of the public is datiy excited by ports and stories of tmtepded outbreak. Among tue lat- ter I may mention one which has gained much credence here; and, whether unfounded or othorwise, lias a little disturbed castle routine—namely : that a band of Feniana have made arrangoments for the seizure of bis Excel- leney the Lord Lieutenant to convey him to some of their mountain rotreat the lives of the Manch ENGLISH TRADE.

The Points of Entrance to and March in the Emperor’s Territory. The following communication has been addressed to Colonel Mereweather by W. Munzinger, the French Vice Consul at Massowah. The information contained in itis the result of a journey from Ampbilla to the Abyssinian plateau, undertaken by Mr, Munzinger in June of the present year, at tho express invitation of Colonel Mereweather, and becomes of much interest now that the English expedition has sailed:— Abyssinia has many easy entrances, There are oblique Plains and successive terraces bringing up to the high table land—through the Afar country to Adsdi; from Tudjurra to Hayk; from Mussowah to Kajakor; from Bogos to Hamaseu; from the Baika to Adjabo, &c. The diMoulty begin: the table land, it being divided and cut in pieces by a great quantity of very deep with water streams, so that there is great diffi communication from one portion of the table to the other, The King’s camp being at Debra Tabor, and the prisouers at Magdala, action will evidently be di- rected towards the south; but I cannot but suppose that at the end of tha rainy season, on the news of an ae having invaded the country, the King will change hi residence, Most probably be will block himself up at Magdaia with his prisoners; less probabie is it that he wilstay a bis presoat residence so as to induce the evomy Wo approach Magdala, and then mak Tetreat to Kuara, taking bis prisoners with him. For him it would be very easy work; not so for an army, the road from Nogdala to Debra Tabor being intersected by many ceep and steepravines, I repeat that it is the less prob- acle supposition, because the King is present noi ia a pos.tion to expect from his soldiers the devotedness th fatigues of such a retreat would require. But, never- ae it may not be wholly useless to calculate on its possibility, , rome principal direction bi thore is an option between @0 fixed towards Magdala, two roads. Tho iirst is that which would bring an army as quickly as possible to the high table land, the edge of which should be pur- sued until the latitude of Magdala ts reached ; the sec. ond, along the great lino of the thountains, profiting by tho terraces which accompany steadily the highlands, I will begin by mining the first road.

S: A November Star Shewer in 1867—Timely Warning to Professor Loomis, A correspondent of a London journal writes under date of October 21: Your readers having already been made familiar, through the of with the jt sbrik- ing f train gone Serna, Sill a mos! will proba- biy anticipate that some public notice will be taken be- Of ite reappearance in the current year. the transatlantic observ I take an early of off be fol meee Pha rg offering the following re- Int out on the present occasion of its return the not ‘and somewhat altered circumstances of the play. The star shower has continued to increase gradually since the year 1863, when a considerable Shower of falling stars was noticed at Wolverhampton on the 15th, and Dr, Schmidt, at Athens, announced their appearance om the 14th of November. In the ‘ears 1864 and 1865 the meteors returned in such grow- ing aumbers that on the latter occcasion about two thou. Sand meteors -must have been visible at Green- wich, and almost as great ‘a number was counted in America, In the great star shower of last year about eight thousand meteors were counted at Greenwich, and least an equal multitude of fireballs and fall atare waa visible at the same time in Europe, Asia and io Africa, and at the Cape of Good Hope. While the gradual and steady increase of the shower up to the Present time makes the appearance of a large number of the November meteors in the present ye: probable, they have not yet amounted to t! Spectacie seen by Humboldt in South America ia the year 1799, and by one observer in Ni 833, who describes them as failin, a the flakes of snow in common snowfalls,”’ or, by an- other, who relates “that their numbers seen at once often equalled th mber of the fixed stars seen at a glance,”’ At the time of the appearance of the Novem- ber metoors in the year 1833 Olbers showed that they wero preceded on the same date in the previous year by a nearly similar shower at the Mauritius, in Asi and over the whole continent of Europe, an that thirty-four years before the great display in 1833 the same star shower was seen, in equally grand proportions, by Humboldt in South America: Relying upon the evident poriodicity of the phenomenon, Olbers ventured to predict that after an- other interval of thirty-four years the star shower would turn in the present year. Now that the interval has psed, and that the November meteors last year re- turned in the same multitude and in the same regions of the globe which distinguished their appearance in the year 1832, itis hardly too much to expect, what the circumstances strikingly appéar to indicate, that another star shower liko that of the year 1533 will this year be visible in America. Calculating from the time whon the frequency of the meteors was observed at Greenwich on the night of the 13th to¢he 14th of November last the following approximate results were obtained, At about six o’cloek A. M,, Greenwich time, on Thursday mora- ing, the 14th proximo, the earth will occupy the piace Where it encountered the first portions of the meteoric stream last year, At half-past seven o'clock A. M., a few minutes before sunrise, at Groenwich, it will cross the medial line; and at about nine o'clock A. M., when the sun is fairly risen in Britain, supposing that tho course of the meteoric stream keeps its appointed placo, the earih’s passage across the current will be complete, and the rain of Orebalis and falling stara, ghould {ts ro- turn be punctual, will cease, Obse7yations on ine meeeing before and on {he fnérning after the expected date and at intervals during the night of the 13th to the 1dth ultimo, inasmuch as the time of the phenomenon cannot be absolutely fixed, are, on account ofa con- siderable degree of uncertainty, a aafe precaution. The moon’s presence a few days after tho full, although in one respect a disadvantage, by its light will yot, by the effect Soaps vor floating clouds, be favorable to a clear condition of the aky. Owing tothe approaching daylight the star shower will be only partially visible in Britain or on the conti- nont. Westward from the British Islos, on the Atlantic Oooan, in Canada and in tho United States of America, where during the whole time that corresponds to the duration of tre shower last year, darkness will provail, the circumstances are more oravie for observations. Allowing one hour earlier for every fifteen degrees of wost longitude from Greenwich, the local times when tho star shower will be at its height at a@ list of places within the region just named may be provisionally stated, aa follow! ‘TIM OF MAXIMUM .

JOHN OXENFORD, THE THEATRICAL CRITIC OF THE LONDON TIMES. The Staze in New York. (No, VIIL) Liverroot, Oct, 19, 1967, Having now completed my tour of the New York theatres the most fitting conclusion to my short series of letters will, I think, be an enumeration of the results Ideduce from my observation and inquiries. I give this in the form of a “‘report,’’ incurring tho risk of being charged with seif-repotition or even of seif-cor- pian ingen i letter be compared with those that have 1, With the bse: po of the Bowery, the Now York theatres, consi as edifices, furnish models which the London architect would do well to imitate, as they are light, Commodious, and so arranged as to allow nearly the whole of the audience a good view of the stage, The theatres in London that most resemble them are Astley’s, in its present condition, and the smaii house at Highbury Barn. But a far better imitation—one, indeed, that exceeds the originale~is the Alexandria theatre, Liverpool, in which the lightness of the Ameri- can house is qualiied by gorgeous ‘appointments’ scarcely to be matched anywhore, 2. The New York audiences are, for the most part, extremely sedate and decorous, and, save at the Bowery, seem devoid of the decidedly plebeian element, This doficiency, which, perhaps, more than any other pecu- liarity, an American audience remarkable to an English visitor, may be attributed partly to the arohi- tectural arrangement by which the gallery, with ite low-priced seats, is kept out of sight, partly to a dis; sition among the operative classes to make as a figure as their fellow citizens. It is quite probable that aworkingman may be among the aristocrats of the house—a contingency which is scarcely possible at a fashtonable London theatro. The sedateness of the New York public may, however, be suddenly broken up when a fe seems lonst to be expected, and an assembly that has apparently been com: of stero jadges will all at once be tickled with « straw. ‘Of this wo had one instance in the enthusiastic delight created by Lotte in the Pet of the Petticoats. Nor does the Puritanical element of the population at all control the moral tono of the theatre as it does in England, It keeps several people away altogether, and confines them to “‘museuma”’ and concerts; but those who have once the Rubicon that s»parates the piayhouse from the reat of the world will endure grazes on propriety that would scarcely be tolerated in London. 3 The people of New York are, as a rule, resolute playgoers, like the peoplo of Paris, The formal and decorous ere quite as steady in their patronage of-the drama as those who make noisy demonstrations of de- light, and the theatro is a necessary social institution in America to a degree which can scarcely be conceived bj the ordinary Londoner.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALO, The Indian Revolts and Depredations tu Yucatan=Necessity for Vigorous Mensures te Protect the White Against the Red Race. Havana, Oot, 80, 1867, Tho government forces in the peninsula of Yuca tan have beon exceedingly limited at all times, and had it not been for tho volunteer ald of tho population, all kinds of batbarities would have been committed by the Indian tribes are hostile, not only to the government but to thé other race, Even as it is, the war has taken extensive proportions, the hostile Indians bavo increased erably and, what is more, they have been able fo of ize themselves with such perfection that at present they constitute an éYicient and formidable force, and a6 well disciplined that great fears are entertained thas the volunteer corps may prove inadequate to rosist theis continuous attacks and dopredations, and more so te overcome them. General Cepeda, the Governor, bas not failod to re port this atate of affairs to the superior governmenteves since the beginning of August, when the eastern tribes not only devastated many villages and towns on the southern line, but assassinated many of the inbablianta Since they the eastern and southern Indians formed @ regular alliance, defensive and offensive, against the legal government, The former have incessantly made war on the civilized populations, without quarter of mercy. It 1s the most warlike and daring of the Indian tribes in the whole peninsula, and they can put in the field three thougand mon, well armed and equipped, and well disciplined, an advantage for which they are. prim cipally indebted to their traffic with the neighboring English colony of Belize, which exchanges powder, balls and other warlike materials, as well as apparel and other goods, for mahogany, cedar and other tim- bers, Their headquarters are established at Chan, Santa Cruz, and from this as far as the ol@ prison of Bacalar they possess largo and exe tensive ranoherias and seediands, which pre- vide them with all the grain they can require fog their maintenance. They always had an extraordinary antipathy to the southern tribes, which not only keps the two tribes disunited, put frequontly in open warfare, Although the southernera never recognized any legal government, they did not attack their neighbors, and, in consequence of certain treatios which wore celebraied in 1853 at Belize with the commissioners appointed. by Don Romelo Diaz de la Vega, then the governor aad commandant of the peninsula, they remained ever since. Although their number is larger than toe eastern tribes, they are not.eo warlike ag the later, nor euch inveterate enemies as the easterners are to white race, Their social system is better organized: they are more industrious, and many of them on @ lucrative trade with the towns on line, asaisted the agricultural establishments of th tora, This lasted till the so-called Imperial Commissary, peti Jose ae - Tlarre; ral, po ea the traordinary ani jeplorable freak supposes that they had revolted.
