6 EUROPE. Queen Victoria’s Health and Necessity . of Her Continental Tour. ’ ¥he British Naval Iron-Clad System. Jeff Davis Exeused by a Disraeli ‘Argument. fo Cunard mail steamship Cuba, Captain Hock- tag, from Liverpool the 8th and Queenstown the 9th @f August, arrived at this port yesterday evening, bringing a mail report tn detail of our cable tele- dated to her day of sailing from England. A reduction of £600,000 in the stock of bullion at ‘he Bank of England was reported, but it was looked nm with perfect calmness, not only from the large ‘eccumulations of gola in the bank, but also as the @rain was regarded as being of & temporary character, There was a marked fall in the temperature, and mowers of rain were general throughout the United Kingdom. The London Times of the 8th inst, makes the ele- ‘vation of the Marquis of Abecorn, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to a dukedom by Mr. Disraeli the subject af its leading article, The 7imes says1— We have the good fortune to have been partiaily educated by Mr. Disraeli. As it is an advantage ‘we share With ali our reading contemporgries we Boast not, but are thankful. At an important eriod in the development of the understanding fr. Disraeli earlier writings fell in our way and led us to a juster estimate of many things ‘we had hitherto regarded with the fond confl- dence of youth aud with the simplicity of our race. There was a time when we regarded a duke as all Englishmen do, it may almost be said, from their very birth. There are few ideas in a country ch hus not too mauy ideas so awful, so simple, so unchangeable as that of aduke. It cannot be made more; and though attempts have been made to di- minish tts dignity they have not had the least suc- eess, for 1t appears to be independent of all that man can ‘lo. * * * Have we really discovered a duke under she disguise of @ brilliant margquist Lf the appeal be to werit there is scope for criticism. If the ap- peal be to our fears or our prudence, as it has some- mes deen, we are able to hold ourown. ‘The na- tion will not rush to do the duty, nor will it think submission inevitable. So it will look, perforce, to ‘the duke maker, and ask whether, under all the cir- cumstances, the government, the occasion and the inister are equal to so mighty a birth of time as the creation of a dukedom. The London Star, of the 8th instant, noticing the SaJury to the Atlantic cable, says:— On Monday night Mr. Willoughby Smith, the emi- nent electiician, started for Valentla, in pursuance @f instructions from the joint committee of the Atlantic and Anglo-American Telegraph Companies. He was followed on Tuesday morning by Mr. Latt- mer Clark, who will verify lus tests, which at present show that the fauit lies at about eighty miles from Newfoundland, in water not exceeding, if it reaches, eve hundred fathoi in depth, and that the inter- Fuption of communication is 80 complete as to put 1t almost beyond doubt that the injury has beea caused the grounding of an iceberg. Communication ‘wih, it is expected, be restored in less than a month, Dut meanwhile the other cable is fully equal to the ‘Work required of It, ENGLAND. Brazilian War Agents in London—Efforts to involve Great Britain with Paraguay—The American Naval Iron Clad System Before the Admiralty—Queen Victoria’s Health— Effect of the Anti-Church Agitation on Her Mind. Lonpon, August 5, 1968, Ihave tosend you by this mall three exclusive Mems of intelligence briefly stated:— d First.—Strenuons efforts are being made by agents @f Brazil im London to involve this country in a war ‘With Paraguay. The government, which at first re- fused to listen to these representations, has become more accessible recently on account of the favor ‘with which the idea of another little war has been Teeelved by many politicians and a large portion of the press, So much capital for Engiand and Eng- Mehmen has been made out of the little affair in Abyssinia that everybody seems aisposed to try on the same game in South America, Of course, the pretext for intervention will be the alleged illegal @etention of British subjects by President Lopez. I Delieve that the Brazilian agents, backed as they are by the press, will be successful. In that event it ‘wil! be a question whether the United States ought not to interfere on the side of Paraguay, or, in fact, anticipate the intervention of England. Second.—You have already noticed that Mr. Reed, ehief of the Contractor's Department of the British Admiralty, has tendered and since withdrawn his Fesiguation, The Loudon Times of this morning as- serts—and | know that the assertions are correct— that Mr. Reed offered his resignation because the Admiralty had decided to adopt the American turret eysiem in iron-clads instead of the English broadside gystem, and then withdrew his resignation because the Admiralty afterwards resolved to let matters re- main as they are. To this I have now to add that a dewrmined and prabably successful attempt will be : at the next session of Parliament to the Admiraity to accept the American tron-clad system fn toto.

What I want to show fe the actual state of things in which we stand. It fe true that the government have, under pressure, endeavored to explain the meaning of the words which they used when Lord Mayo sald there waz no objection to establish religious equality in Ireland by raising up and not by pulling down, These words meant that the im Donum given to the Presbyterians was to be increased, and that endowment was to be vided for the Roman Comnolies ae Ian A eee Cat went ‘ag there any act proposed which significantly indicated the intentions of the government? On the contrary, they ogg. oe in March last to establish @ Roman Catholic University, which was to be sup- ported 80 far as respected professorships, &c.. out of he consolidated fund, * * * Time was when you might say with fairness that you were not responsi- sible for the policy, because you had no vote and the majority of the House of Commons was chosen by cer- tall downers and self-elected corporations. As long as this state of things existed that might fairlybe urged on your behalf. Itis notso now, There has been a fundamental change. The enlargement of your Poise is the enlargement of your responsibilities, it is the bounden duty of every one of you to exercise @careful, intelligent and conscientious choice be- tween the men who come before you for your suf- frages with reference to the various great questions of pe interest, with reference especially to the Irish policy, and most of all that branch of it which concerns the existence of the Irish estab- lishment, (Cheers) If tt be, as I fear it is, unde- niable that the conduct of England towards Treland is dieapproved by the civilized world at large, and of this there ig no doubt, for beyond these shores there is no question at all as to the impropriety of this strange Roller witch has been maintained in Ire- land—if it be true that this policy is disapproved by tue civilized world, if Ireland at this moment is a grief, a scandal, and possibly acanse of danyer to the empire, the blame of this policy may be thrown upon others by whom you and your fore- fathers have been governed. (Cheers.) It is so no longer, now that you are invested with the know- ledge of selecting who are to govern you, This, earn is of all others, the wish which is essential to bring home to the mind of the nation, (Uheers.) The policy which is sketched out for your con- is sideration and adoption. Yours will be the blame if the painful state of things in Iretand continues—that shameful state of things which has made it necessary for usto suspend during the last three years the guarantee for personal liberty in Ireland. Yours, too, will be the honor and the praise, and yours will be the lasting benefit if now, uniting hearts and hands, and putting shoulder to shoulder, you join im a firm and resolute effort to return such mento Parliament as will address themselves to the consideration of these great questions with a firm determination to deal with Irishmen as they would deal with Englishmen or Scotchmen, and a8 they would wish that Irishmen, if it had 80 Berhenay would deal with them. age Yours will be the honor, the praise and the lasting benefit if these scandals, if these difficulties, these doubts, fears and misgivings, these unfortunate, and I might almost say these tnveterate causes of alienation should bo—I can hardly say at once effaced, for that is impossible, but at least subjected to a mitigating influence on the minds of the irish people, by an earnest determination to do justice and open a future of happiness, prosperity and content- ment which shall stand in joyful contrast with the past of that enbeuyy, land, The right honorable gentleman conclu amid loud and prolonged cheering. Jef Davis in Liverpool—An Apology from Jewish Tradition. [From the Liverpool Post, August 7.) Mr. Jeff_rson Davis is now in Liverpool. He ar- boa bos weioeey a put Ad ne peat We will not apply im Byron’s address to Napoleon on But yesterday a king, ‘Aud armed with iiags to strive; But now a fallen thing, So abject, yet alive. For he is now a man of sorrow, broken down in health; entitled to pity but not to pardon. No man during the last half century occasioned so much misery to the civilized world. He introduced rebel- lion into a peaceful, happy and prosperous country, and the result of that act was the death of a million of men during the revolt, the impoverishment of America, the commercial disturbance of the universe and very protracted financial suffering, all over Europe the United States. t ) moment there is hardly an individual in this town who is not poorer in consequence of the American rebellion seven years ago, Mr. Davis may claim excuse, if not entire Seiten from the histo! of mankind. bellion is detestable, accord- ing to precept, when it fails; when it suc- ceeds it takes the name of revolution. This is Locke’s doctrine, and until recently it was the admitted doctrine of Europe. There were former! fow escapes from oppression but im rebellion, ani hardly ever did revolt entirely fail, In our da: however, in a nation moral force is @ perfect stitute for physical force. Mr. Davis did not, un- happily, recognize this fact. He committed a terri- ble mistake, to call it by no harsher name, and the mistake was based on‘calculations which sanguine and thoughtless men only could have made. * * * Mr. Davis ts entitled to the apology made for the chosen og) by Mr. Disraelt. lever may have been their motives they were an instru ment inthe hands of Divine Sor twas owing to that instrument that Christ tn his death redeemed the world from the bondage of sin, Mr. Davis unintentionally redeemed the people of Amer- tea from the sin of slavery. He originated a rebvellion which terminated in universal Wherty The negro stood up @ man and his chains fell on the ground from around him, Four millions of men breathe the air of freedom, and there is nothing visionary ta belie ing, in asserting, that had it not been for the South- ern rebellion slavery would have endured for jaflicting disgrace upon a free people, and torture upon a helpless race. Mr. Davis has done it unwit- tingly, done what he did not intend to do; but the result, nevertheless, 1s something for mankind to re- Jolee at, something to remind the world that in war and even in rebelilon there may be great atonement for the horrors and sin of both.

Christian Kalkenbrenner, being sworn, testified as follows:—I live at 157 Second street; on Saturday evening abont half-past eight o'clock I was standing two doors above Mr, Stillwagen’s in the avenue B direction and heard some little boys shouting out, ‘A fight; I then saw John Seibert going into Still- wagen’s house; by the time I got down to the door Seibert was after being thrown out of the house; think it was Stillwagen threw him out; Seibert re- turned to the door and pushed his arm and head through the glass; the door was hardly closed @ min- ute when it was opened again; as the door opened 1 saw aman falling backwards with his neck cut; the blood squirted out on the street and upon my right hand; saw two men lead away Stillwagen; in a few minutes heard some women, children and men shout, “They are killing Johnny Seibert;” I then went into Stillwagen’s store and throngh into the back room, where I saw Johnny Seibert lying on the floor; one man was sitting on his stomach and hold- ing one hand; the man sitting on Seibert had agut on his forehead; he said in German that Seibert would soon be dead; he kept talking to him in Ger- man, every now and then hitting him on the head with his fist; then he asked Siebert in German, “Why d{d you stick me? accompanying the question with a blow; that is all I saw until after I returned from a club meeting to which I was going, when I saw the police arrest John Seibert in his own house, opposite Stillwagen’s, John Metzgar, of avenue B and Fourtecnth street, Was next examined, and testifled:—I was up stairs, in No. 611, visiting, when [ heard a cry of “Fight;”’ Tran down to Stiliwagen’s, and was abont going In When two young ladies stopped me, telling me that if l went in 1 too would be locked ‘up; ten minutes alterward { went in an@ saw Seibert lying on the ground; one man was sitting upon him and another was holding his arm; then two oMcers came in and arrested the two men who were altting upon Seibert; some citizens then took away feibert; the officer asked me about fifteen minutes afterwards where Seibert lived, and I showed them and went up stairs with them; the oMcer asked Seibert to accompany him, but he refused, and it was onty after being Coe by citizens that he went along with the police. ‘The witness denied positively that he saw any per- sons attempting to rescue Sethert. OMicer James Smith, of the Eleventh precinct, tes- tifled that he was standing on the corner of avenue B and Twelfth street on the night in question when he saw a large crowd come down avenue B and stop at the drug store on Thirteenth street; saw @ man who was bleeding freely from the neck taken into the store; remained while the doctor was sewing up the wound, probably about fifteen minutes; made inquiries as to the origin of the dimculty and en- deavored to discover hy whom the injuries had been inflicted; eventually learned what had occurred by getting behind two men who were talking and by overh ing what they said; as I was listening one man nudged the other to hush; I took hold of the man whom I heard mention the name of Seibert and compelled him to go along with me and show me where Seibert lived; in passing through the hallway to the rear of house No. 608 Fourteenth street my guide ran away; I then found Metzgar and compelied him to go along with me to where Seibert lived; I found Seibert in his room stripped of all his clothes except light pants; he was washing himself in a pail of water; the water was tinged with blood; his body was streaked with blood, he not having yet dried him- self; 1 said to him, “I want you; he replied, “You will never be able to take me;” I told bim I would take him el as there were twenty or thirty persons present { deemed tt folly to attempt to take him force; I consequently asked him come along, telling him that I understood he was the man who had been stabbed, and that there were two men arrested for the offence; he replied that he had been stabbed, kicked and beaten by the Dutch, but that he was satisfied, having had his revenge; his friends advised him to go with me, and after put- ting on some clothes he did so; I took him to the Eleventh precinct station. ‘Willlam Winterwerb and officers Davis and Deaves gave corroborative testimony. Alfred Loomis, of No. 611 East Fourteenth street, testified that he was sitting on the doorstep of No. @11 when he heard a boy remark, ‘Here comes Johnny Seibert with a k: ,” and witness saw Sel- bert go into Stillwagen’s; immediately afterwards saw him come out as if he had been pushed out; he again rushed at the door and this was the occasion upon which the glass was broken; immediately af- terward saw Stillwagen coming out with his hand to his throat and going towards the doctor's; heard a Uttle boy say that they had Johnny Seibert on the floor and were killing him; went into Stillwagen’s and saw Seibert on the ground and one man sitting on his breast while another held his arm; a police omMcer came, and after going into the saloon came out and rapped his club; two other officers arrived and they arrested the man who had hold of Seibert; the other officer took Seibert nome, and after doini so he went to the doctor's to see what became o' Stillwagen. This witness denied that he saw any person ipting to rescue Seibert. After a short deliberation the jary returned a ver- dict to the effect that Jacob Stillwagen came to his death by a wound from a knife in the hand of John Seibert at 615 East rebar = street. In reply to questions put by the Coroner, the pris- oner gaid that he was twenty-seven years of age, was born tn New York, and that he had nothing to say at present as tothe charge brought against him. He Was then committed for trial. SERIOUS FRACAS IN THE EIGHTH WARD. Conflict Between Policemen and Rowdies— ‘The Former Use Their Revolvers.

SANGUINARY ASSAULT IN A CELL.—On Monday evening two men, named Peter Hicks and Patrick Keaton, were arrested and confined in the Police station for being drunk. After being locked up to- gether for some time the attention of the police was attracted to the cell ‘by the most agonizing wails. On entering they found Keaton prostrated and bleeding profusely from the unmerctful blows which he swears were inflicted on him by Hicks. The city physician was summoned to the unfortunate man’s aid, and he pronounced his wounds of a serious though not mortal character. Yesterday morning Hicks was arraigned before the Mayor on & charge of assaulting his feliow prisoner, and he gave bonds for his appearance to answer the charge at the next term of the court, THE BANKRUPT LAW. Congress having amended the thirty-third section of the Bankrupt act of 1367 and extended the time to the Ist of January, 1869, before the fifty per cent clause fas itis called) comes into operation, many are already seeking to avail themselves of the privi- lege. The expense attending the proceedings hitherto has been a bar, however, to many who would otherwise have sought refuge under ite pro- tecting clauses and provisions. No doubt a large number are still having their faces turned thither- wards and it would be very desirable to reduce the eXpenses in every manner possible so as to afford them the opportunity of going in and of making an equal distribution of their assets among their creditors. Heretofore it has been the practice in the Marshal’s notice to the creditors, in the first instance, to send to each creditor a list of the names and residences of all the bankrupt’s creditors, and of the respective amounts due to them, and fre- quently at considerable cost, but the inutility of such a course {s becoming more and more apparent, and a great majority of the district courts throughont the States are abandoning it. The notice oftentimes sent by the Marshal to each creditor of the bankrupt is merely a copy of the advertisement of the issue of the warrant as published in the newspaper, together with the amount of the debt as stated in the schedule written thereon. If this notice holds good in the case of so many bankrupts it must surely be so in all, and uniformity and economy must have the approbation of creditors, lawyers, bankrupts and oficials.
