” English people will in the end right the wrong, and inthis the Irish must aid them, legiti- mately and as unselfish democrats. No good in ever wailing about William the Third, and the Boyne, and Cromwell, while the Scotch never say a word about Cumberland, and Claverhouse, and Dalzell; and certainly no “‘man of Galway” was ever more severely handled by soldiers than were the members of the cavalier families of England by the Round- heads. Mr. Disraeli must keep his eye fixed on the English nation. The Irish in this country must act in the political field as Americans, and the Irish in Ireland use the franchises which they now possess as free Britons for the general good; and if they do, in a short time Ireland will have no “wrong” to complain of worth speaking about, and all qualified citizens— Irish, German and American—enjoy a good chance of having a public position in New York—one as well as the other, and “‘no harm done” to either. The Sentence of the Rev. Mr. Tyug. In compliance with the ruling of the court in the case of Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., on charges of violating a canon of the Episcopal Church, Bishop Potter summoned the reverend culprit before him in the Church of the Trans- figuration yesterday, and there and then pro- nounced the sentence of ‘‘admonition.” The sentence is mainly a résumé of the/case al- ready tried and the reasons why the court was right and Tyng, Jr. was wrong. It contains @ good deal, too, concerning the good nature and charity of the bishop himself, especially as exercised towards Mr. Tyng. There is an evident effort to repel the charges of vindic- tiveness, personal feeling and ecclesiastical despotism, which appear to have come from some quarters both inside and outside the Church ; but the censure, we observe, is not very severe, and is hardly worth the trouble of recording. The extent of the punishment is probably to be found in the fact that the bishop approves the finding of the court, but at the same time assures the reverend convict that he, the bishop, is ever ready tc sympa- thize with him in his trials and uphold him in every rightful endeavor to accomplish the work given him to do, to rejoice when he rejoices and weep when he weeps. With a fervid blessing upon his delin- quent ‘“‘reverend brother in the Lord” the bishop then dismissed him, and this great “state trial” came toan end. We do not think that the Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr. will suffer -much from the weight of his punishment, nor will there be any necessity for him to secede to the Ritualists or the Methodists. Boggs and Stubbs are avenged, and the canon law is vindicated. Debates in the House of Commons and tm’ the House of Representatives. Through the enterprise and liberality of Mr. Cyrus W. Field our readers have regularly re- ceived for several days past the report from Lon- don of the debate on the Alabama question in the British House of Commons. Upon the first -completion of the cable we ourselves spent seventy or eighty thousand dollars for news transmitted by it, and so produced the first -effect on the public mind, giving the public a real impression of the influence that great en- terprise was to have in the future. We are glad to see that’ Mr. Field takes the happy occasion of this debate—of so much importance to us—to deepen and extend the same impres- sion. Incidentally this piece of cable enterprise ; has another and a very peculiar result. It puts side by side in the columns of the city dailies the debates in the two great deliberative assemblies of the world of free government. On one page we might read the debate of the pre- vious day in the House of Representatives at Washington—on another the debate that oc- curred two or three nights before in the House of Commons in London. Comparisons were naturally made. No sense of pride in our own or spirit of nationality could blind the popular perception to the fact that this comparison was notin our favor. In the debate in the House of Commons every speaker who rose seemed really to understand the subject, contributed thought to the discussion, and appreciated the weight of the case; but turning from that to the House of Representatives one could find by ——, only provocatives to contempt. THE INDIANS. Depredations Near Fort Laramie=Train Fired Into by Indians and Horses Captured. ; St. Lovis, March 14, 1868 A telegram from Cheyenne City says that the Indians ‘captured a lot of horses and mules from Bordeau’s ranche and from citizens in the neighborhood of Fort Laramie on Tuesday; also that a train of Indian is, en route for Laramie had been fired into by b je Indians, but without any damage having been jone.

The motion previously filed by the State in this case was called up and argued by the State Attorney, who said he thought the decision of the Judge regarding the degree of crime ee was erroneous, and he would not be doing his duty to the State if he went to trial under such a decision of the court. He stated that the facts in the case, even if proved, did not constitute murder in the first degree, and ad- mitted the defendants to batl tn $10,000 each, PENNSYLVANIA.

MUSICAL REVIEW. ‘The music publishing business has grown quite dull lately, and the number of new publications is be- coming less every day. The reason may be found in the scathing exposures of the uarrow minded and unbusiness like schemes of the publishers in foisting #0 much trash on the public, in keeping good com- posers in the background through interested mo- tives and in their systematic unfairness towards all composers, which have been given weekly in the Herap. There is every indication that arevolu- tion in the music pubiishing trade will soon take place. The composers will shortly have a chance of taking the entire business in their own hands and fighting their tyrannical masters on equal terms. ‘The budget of new music for this week is somewhat smaller than usual.

It is not biography ; It ig not history; It is not a critical and exhaustive estimate of Edmund Burke, the greatest and most virtuous Irishman of his own or perhaps any gene- ration, and certainly the most brilliant and philo- sophic writer and speaker of the English language of the age in which he lived ; nor is it a critical and exhaustive history of his day and generation. It wants alike the comprehensiveness and particularity of the former and the breadth and fulness of the latter. It ts only fair, however, to say that Mr. Mor- ley’s object would not have been served by adopting either the biographical or historical form, and that so far as that object can be gathered from the work itself it has been accomplished with very considera- ble success, " What was that object? It was to allow the author to give vent to his sentiments on certain great ques- tions which were contemporary with the public life of the great orator and statesman, and with which he ‘was incidentally rather than directly connected. It is here where we find fault with Mr. Morley’s plan. All that he has said in the work before us might have been said with equal force and truthfulness in con- nection with the names of Fox, of Pitt, of Gren- ville, of Lord North or any of the great leading men of that period. Edmund Burke, throughout the vol- ume, is but the peg on which Mr. Morley hangs his Political reflections. His reflections, however, are good, and apart altogether from the name of Edmund Burke, the “Historica! Study" must be regarded as a thoughtfal and valuable contribution to the political Uterature of the day, Mr. Morley arranges his thoughts under six gene- ral heads or chapters, which are as follows:—Char- acteristics, Issues of the Time, The Constitution, American Independence, Economical Reform, Ireland and India, The French Revolution. It will be seen at once by the reader who ts at all familiar with the events of that period that the author has chosen a wide and varied fleld for study and reflec- tion. Under the first head, Characteristics, Mr. Mor- ley endeavors to give us an {dea of the mora! and in- tellectual character of Burke. Under the second head, The Issues of the Time, the difficulties of Burke's position as a plebelan among prond and long privileged patricians is admirably portrayed: and the great leading questions of the hour, new all of them in English history—(1) the supremacy of the Lower House in the Legislature, (2) the supremacy of the popular will in the Lower House, (8) the responsibility of the Executive to the House of Commons—are set forth with great ability and discussed -from_ the stand- point of an advanced and enlightened liberal. The chapters on the Constitution, on Economical Re- form, Ireland and India, and the last one on the French Revolution, are all of them weil deserving the attention of the thoughtful student. To Ameri- cans, however, the chapter on American Inde- pendence will naturally prove specially interesting. At the close of his chapter on the Constitution, and when about to proceed to consider the great struggle between the mother country and the colo- nies, the author pertinently remarks:—‘'It is almost demonstrably certain that the vindication of the supremacy of popular interests over all other consid- erations would have been bootless toil, and that the great constitutional struggle from 1760 to 1783 would have ended otherwise than {t did but for the failure of the war against the insurgent colonies and the final establishment of American independence. It was this portentous transaction which finally routed the arbitrary and despotic pretensions of the House of Commons over the people, which put an end to the hopes entertained by the sovereign of making his personal will supreme in the chambers, and which established the principle of Cabinet as distinguished from departmental responsibiiity. Fox might well talk of an early royalist victory in the war as the terrible news from Long Island. The struggle which vegan successfully at Breniford, in Middlesex, was continued at Boston, in Massachusetts. The scene had changed, but the conficting principles were the same, The defeat and subjugation of the colonists would have been followed by the final annihilation of the opposition in the mother country. The Warof Independence was virtually a second Engtish civil war. The ruin of the American cause would have been also the ruin of the constitutional cause in England; and a patriotic Englishman may revere the memory of Patrick Henry and Geor Vashington not less justly than the patriotic American.” In such spirit is the chapter on American Inde- dence concelved, and In sud spirit ts it executed. is chapter is ably discussed throughout, but we cannot enter into details. Its concluding paragraph, however, is well worthy of reproduction:— “To the student of human history who lives in later times there are few objects of meditation so interest- ing as the probable course of evolution in the great empire whose origin we have been considering. The conditions are in some respects so profoundly differ- ent from those which have to be taken into account in observing the development of Euro, clviliza- tion, while at the same time there has mn such a constant and reciprocal action at work between America and Europe, that our usdal historic appa- ratus misses Its hold and application. It is compa- ratively simple to trace the elements which America contributes to the decomposition of the old and the construction of the new state in Europe. But how, with our ordinary methods, can we discern the main currents of the history of a country first incongru- pe Rater by Swedes, Dutch, French, Spanish and English, which has never undergone the harmon- izing and binding induence of a uniform spiritual be- lief; which datly receives enormous bodies of immi- ants with as many ways of thinking as there are ies about religion and government—about the Leer and the future—whose territorial consolidation is not yet accomplished?

Before Judge Benedict, Judge Benedict rendered a decision yesterday tn the case of John Devlin, recently tried and convicted for having acted as @ wholesale dealer in whiskey without a license, neglecting to pay the special tax and — keep proper books of his business trans- actions. e counsel for the prisoner, it will be re- membered, argued a motion for a new trial on various points of exception, the most important of which was the denial of the right to peremptorily challenge jurors, and also for ruling out several witnesses for the defence, The Judge decided that the practice of peremptorily challen; jurors had never been adopted in this or any other Circuit Court. He states in his deciston there had been nothing shown in the argument of the counsel for the defence upon which tue motion for a new trial might be granted. The Case of J. B. Adetti. J. B. Adettd was convicted on charge of counter- feiting United States currency, in company with Adrian Harcq. The latter not being in custody the case went to trial against Adetti. Upon the trial the defence offered to call the wife of Harcq as a witnoss; but objection being taken she was exciuded, and ex- ception was taken to the ruling. The case was argued for a new trial on these exceptions by the counsel for the defence. The motion for a new trial was granted, = * SURROGATE’S COURT—=KINGS COUNTY.

Mas, Fayny Kemsia's RgaDINGs—STEINWAY HALL.—Macbeth” was the entertainment given by Mrs. Fanny Konile at yesterday's matinée, and the announcement and the charming weather (to say nothing of the delightful condition of the streets) drew a very large and stylish audience, the ladies holding the house by a splendid majority. The read- ing by Mrs. Kemble of “Macbeth,” this “sublime poem,” as it is designated by Dr. Johnson, they all knew would be a great enjoyment, and they Were not disappointed. Remembering, however, the herculean Macbeth of Forrest, in figure and voice, Mrs. Kemble does not carry guns enongh for this powerfu! gentleman, nor does her reading give us any new insight into his character. Nor can we identify hers as a sufficient representation of the muscular Macduff, for, after all, the issue between these two men is that of two gladiators—a matter of muscle, Itis as Lady Macbeth that Mrs. Kemble impresses us in Oe Rar with her superior readi and acting; it is in her thrilling impersonation thi we recognize in her Lady Macbeth, the principal figure in the picture, by side of which even the ambitious “Thane of Cawder” and the bloody king, pes lord, becomes ae enna perso! F- od akapearo a3 lef roperly Suppo! Kemble as Lady Macbeth, wittall the accessories of the stage, would be a new sensation in the theatri- cal world, This reading, howevgr, with its clear and unbroken story, and so abounding in bold and distinct individuaitties, in beautiful poetry, and in the play of diverse passions and emotions, taken altogether, is perhaps the best of all the series given by Mrs, Kemble, and the vest sapien to illustrate her versatile powers as a reader of Shakespeare. It was certainly to her a perfectly satisfactory ending of her late en ment at Steinway Hall, for sucha house and such expressions of satisfaction as it awarded her are only accorded te a great favorite and a great success. THE STAGE AT HOME AND ABROAD. At Home. The new concert troupe, consisting of Madame Gazzaniga, Leopold De Meyer, Ardavani and Colby met with considerable success tn the New Engiand cities during the past week. To-night Gazzaniga and Mills will appear at Steinway Hall, supported by a splendid orchestra. The programme ts one of rare excellence.

Two important sales of high class paintings are announced to take place at the Leeds Art Galleries onthe 18th and 19th instants. The first evening's sale willcomprise works by such American artists as James M. Hart, 8. R. Gifford, R. W. Hubbard, J. G. Brown, A. Bierstadt, J. W. Casilear, J. F. Cropsey, J. R. Brevoort, H. P. Gray, A. F. Tait, Louis Lang and W. L. Sontag. The second evening will be devoted to the sale of foreign pictures, consigned to Mr. Knoedler by Measrs. Goupll & Co., of Paris, including works by Meissonier, Frére, Merle, Koek-Koek. Ver- boeckhoven, Vantier, Achenbach, Hofilaen, Toul- mouche, Robie, Plassan and Castan. At a private view of these pictures on Friday evening, among the most highly admired were the “Home in the Wilderness,” by 8. R. Gilford, which reflected such great credit upon American art at the recent Parls Exposition; “The First Prize, by Delobve, a pupil of Bouguereau; “Sorrow,” by Toulmouche; “The Careful Mother,” by De Jonghe; “The Promenade,” by Compte-Calix; ‘Mount Pilatus, a Sunset in Switzerland,” by Oswald Achenbach; “The Savoyard Girl,” by Charles Brun; “A Lady Tending Flowers,” by E. Plassan; “A Flock of Sheep Caught in a Rainstorm,” by E. Verboeckho- ven;” ‘Mother and Child,” by DeJonghe; “Charity,”” by Ed. Dubufe; “Boy Burning the Whip,’ by Ed. Frére; “View near Cléves,"” by Koek-Koek; “The Broken Vow,” by Vautier; “Flowers,” by Robie; and “The Philosopher,” by Meissonier. The foreign pic- tures which we have specified, together with nearly a hundred more on exhibition, present some of the best characteristics of the modern French, Belgian and German schools, and Gifford’s “Home in the Wilderness” happily illustrates the superiority which American landscape painting is acknowledged to have attained. Mr. Knoedler recefved yesterday a fresh invoice of foreign pictures, among the most striking of which we must mention two by Boutibonne (a name com- paratively unknown in this country, but destined to become very favorably known), “Going to the Ball,” and “Dressing for the Promenade,” in which velvet, satin, silk and ermine are eae represented, to say nothing of merits which lift these works above merely decorative art; “The Hunter’s Return,” by Beuschlau; and “La Petit Ecoliére,” a charming picture, by Bongueran. Mr. Knoedler has also im- ported two admirable chromos of Bouguereau’s, “Wistfulness” and “First Caresses.” The life size origina! of the latter ifin the collection of Mr. Bel- mont, and represents a young mother of the peasant class, but of a high type of womanly beauty, fond. ling her infant, who returns the caresses with arch glee. The original of the former is ig also of life size, and is in the collection of Mr. Jay Cooke. The artist here again depicts a mother and child. The mother, with her tambourine and at tendant goat, is of the gypsy type, and the child stoutly withholds from the wistful goat a cluster of rapes. = ‘one of the most remarkable pictures now on ex- hibition at Knoedler’s is composed of a pickerel, a trout, a whitefish and a little fish which we are not learned enough in Izaak Walton’s gentler art of angling toname. These fish look as if fresh from the water, and, in drawing, color and ,versimilitude are superior to anything of the kind we have ever seen. Agassiz himself, we have heard, pronounces Walter M. Brackett, the Boston artist who painted them, to be unrivalled in this line of art. None approach the excellence which Brackett has attained in it except the celebrated English artist Rolfe. Mr. Whittredge has just completed a woodland scene which will rank with his best productions. He has not yet bestowed upon it a name, but that of “The Willows of Lebanon,” might not be tnappro- priate. Over @ trout brook in Lebanon vailey a number of gnarled trunks of old willows arise, in- terlacing their long branches tn the most picturesque le, Another of his recently finished pictures is “A Wood Pasture,” travei by the same trout brook which is represented in “The Willows of Lebanon,” and animated by cows and a watchful kingfisher. The | picture which Mr. Daud has on exhibition at his studio ig “The Plains at the Base of the Rocky Mountains.” ‘is has alread: been particularly described in these columus.

For the accommodation of that portton of the Population of the metropdlis which resides above Canal street and west of Broadway, and also for the convenience of the shipping in the near neighbe- hood, a market, under the above name, wae opene@ yesterday for the sale of meats, fish, poultry, butter, cheese, eggs, vegetables, &c., on land bounded: by Banks and Washington streets, The structure, whiclt has just been completed, extends along the former thoroughfare one hundred and twenty and on the lat- ter eighty feet, and contains asuperficial area of three thousand two hundred yards, conveniently divided into parallel aisles, on each side of which are ar~ ranged the stalls and stands of the butchers and other venders, ‘The building ts thoroughly ventilated, and’ as there ig ample space for business, it containing sixty-one stands, there ts not the slightestjdanger, under even ordinary police regulation, of its accumulating filth and harboring vermin, the plague of every other pune place for the sale of meats and vegetables im e city. Immediately over the space allotted to the market proper is a large room that will be found useful for the holding of public meetings, ere ry: the arill- ing of military companies, &c. A hall of the kind has been long needed in this part of the city, and 1¢ will be almost in as much request as the loaver story—already popalar paging from the threngs that were pricing and buying yesterday forenoon, and who did not disguise their satisfaction at havin; 80 near them a place where Washington Marke! meats, vegetables. butter and eggs could be obtained at Washington Market prices, Of the sixty-one stands tn the lower hall, eighteen: are devoted to the sale of poultry, game, vegetables, fruit (fresh and dried,) butter, cheese, lard, eggs. honey, &c.; two to fresh, smoked and corned pork and provisions; twenty-five to beef, mutton, veal, lamb and all other freste and corned meats; one to calves’ heads, brains, small cuts, &c.; four to tripe, ' feet, tongues, Bologna sausage, &c.; two to picklea and preserves; two to refreshments; four to fresh, dried and smoked fish, and two to oysters, clams, scollope and al! other smail fish, From the above enumeration {t will be seen thas every desirable article the housewife or cook can desire for the table may be obtained at Upper Wash- ington Market, the grea majority of the stands and stalls being leased by men engaged in business in the oid market on Washington and Vesey streets, and who are desirous of accommodating their up- town customers at the lowest possible figures, Un- fortuna esterday, in consequence of the ad- vanced prices demanded by speculators in iive stock, the butchers were compelled to raise their prices, and consumers not being made aware of this until they had visited the new market, became impressed for & time with the idea that, however pleasantly con- ventent {t was to have sucha place at their doors, and accessibie from the south, north and east sides, dealers were inclined to take advantage of their ne- cessities; but when the reasons for the advance were fully explained they bought freely—so freely, indeed, that between the hour of opening in the morning and midday, stocks that the most sanguine supposed would prove sumicient to meet the demand were dis- posed of, and the staila and stands had to be replen- ished with stock from the lower market. For meats, fish, vegetables, &c., the prices ruted as follows at the Upper Washington Market yesterday :— Mkats.—Porter house, 30c., and sirloin steaks, 25c. er Ib., roasting pieces, 15c., and pri utton—Fore-guarter, 9¢., 0c. and” quarter, 13¢, a loc.

We have ony to add that Upper Washisgton Mar- ket may be looked upon as a success. Its proximity to the shipping, the cleanliness of its neighborhood, and its “ getatability,"’ backed by a respectable and densely popuias neighborhood, with prices ruling as low as those in the tien: markets if the city, are guarantees of its stability; and it only remains for those whose accommodation tt has been opened to patronize and make it a paying institution. The large business of peniste ayy the building being kept open to a rather late hour in order to meet the wishes of buyers, was considered sufficient to prove the necessity of itagpresence as an uptown market. flonnders, Lic.; ’s Genuine Meerschaum Pi Kaldenbur, Holders, at KALDENBI'RG'S, No, 6 John, 2% Wall ‘117 Broadway.
