But the verdict of the ‘Jury in this case is a lame and impotent con- ‘clusion to an investigation which the public Rhad reason to expect would lead to their better tection for the fiture against similar ‘‘acci- ts.” Absurd, unjustifiable and unsatisfac- Mory as it is, this verdict naturally provoked jthe mild inquiry from the Deputy Coroner “‘if tthe jury did not wish to censure anybody;” but ‘he was assured they did not ‘feel inclined to censure anybody.” Of course not. Nobody ‘was toblame. And nothing now remains to ‘be done by the survivors and friends of the victims of ‘the disaster but individually to pro- secute the company and try to recover pecu- niary damages for the irreparable losses sus- tained by them. France and Spain. The situation in Spain remains much as it ‘was. The only thing that becomes more and ‘more manifest is that the Emperor Napoleon is sto become master of that country, as he has already become master of Italy. The dilatory ‘spirit manifested by the revolutionary leaders likely not only to dispossess Spain of what- ever still remains to her, also of her ‘ancient ‘empire of the Indies, but to rob her to a cer- rain extent of her nationality. Everything Gndicates that the favorite idea of the Em- peror—viz., that of giving unity to the Latin aces in Europe—is likely soon to become a reality. Rumor has it that the government of ‘the Emperor and that of Victor Emanuel have finally settled the Papal difficulty. If this be true it may be taken for granted that on an early day the last of the French army will have disappeared from the Peninsula, and that an alliance offensive and defensive will have been entered into between France and Italy. However the Spanish difficulty is got over, we may rest assured it will be settled to the satisfaction of Napoleon. Spain will follow the example of Italy. Europe will thus be ‘divided into two hostile camps. With Italy ‘and Spain at his back Napoleon will have no cause to fear the forces of the North. There is but one thing that can now baffle Napoleon’s * ‘plans, and that is the defection of his army. An present circumstances such defection is scarcely conceivable. » A Niog Quzgstion.—Why should not the Grand Jury and the United States courts make en investigation into the Erie Railroad frauds that have been recently developed by the triminations and recriminations of the rival tings engaged in those rascalities? Something ‘must be done to restore the purity and in- ‘tegrity of the commercial character of New ‘York city; and we see little hope of any effective measures of reform except through the medium of the United States courts. NOTES ABOUT TOWN. The owners and lessees of tenement houses are ‘being vigorously prosecuted by the Board of Health for their violation of the law which applies to such houses. A reform in this particular was sadly meeded. Something should be done to compel building con- ‘tractors to have a little regard for the hves and {imbs of promenaders on the principal streets as ‘wellas those of their employés. A lady was seri- Ously injured on Broadway on Friday last by being struck bya piece of iron used for raising marble slabs from the pavement. It is a risky undertaking ‘to cross near a building in provess of erection, or ‘where a@ new pavement is being laid. But con- tractora and companies can do what they please ‘with impunity, It would be well for the Fulton Ferry Company to takes lesson from the Hoboken Ferry Company in ‘the matter of ferry management. Atthe Barclay street ferry no one 1s permitted to go on a boat until all the passengers she has brought across tne river hhave been landed. Hence there is no chance of a collision between the two crowds, as is the case at the Brooklyn ferry. ‘The Superintendent of Public Buildings has made @ raid on some of the theatrical managers for permit- ting the aisles and passageways of their honses to ‘be blocked up with camp stools. It is time that measures were taken to suppress this highly danger- ous practice. 5 What a dimcult task dressmakers have before them this season! There is hardly a geometrical probiem or proposition in Euclid which may not be seen de- monstrated on a lady’s back on Broadway on any afternoon. Have the railroad companies absolute power over the pavements laid down in any part of Manhattan Island? The people of Harlem were astonished the other morning to find that the Third Avenue Rall- road employés had taken up the Belgian pavement Dear the new bridge and laid rails down. The next thing will be, perhaps, to invade our houses, grid- dron our gardens and erect depots in our back yards, COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. Lecture by Dr. Lemercier.

Cordial Reception of the Chinese Embassy at Windsor. Modifications in the Alabama Settlements. The Commission to Sit in Washington. DISASTROUS ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS. ENGLAND. The Chinese Embassy at Windsor Castle— Thelr Reception by Queen Victoria—Her Majesty’s Reply to Mr. Burlingame’s Ad» dress—Lord Stanley’s Reception. Lonpon, Nov. 21, 1868. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Burlingame and his asso- ciate ministers of the Chinese Embassy, together with the secretaries attached to the mn, were presented to her Majesty Queen Victoria, at Wind- sor Castle, by Lord Stanley. A special train con- veyed the Embassy to thejtown of Windsor, where, on the arrival of the cars at the terminus, the Queen’s carriage’ were in waiting to convey the party to the royal residence. The townspeople flocked in great numbers to see the strangers, and the greatest curiosity was manifested to catch @ glimpse of the Orientals as they passed from the railroad cars to the carriages. On arriving at Windsor Castie the Embassy was conducted to her Majesty's audience room, where they were received by the Queen, surrounded by members of the royal family and ladies in waiting, gathered around the royal seat in picturesque groups. Lord Stanley then introduced Mr. Burlingame, who briefly addressed her Majesty in the name of the Emperor of China. He continued by expressing the desire that the health and happiness of the Queen, and the people over whom she presided, would be long and lasting. He also referred in ap- propriate and feeling terms vo Sir Frederick Bruce, who at present represents her Majesty’s govern- ment at the Court of China, and spoke in the very highest terms of the valuable co-opera- tion rendered him by the English representa- tive. In the course of his address he made graceful allusion to the well known friendship of her Majesty for the United States. Mr. Burlingame then presented the letter of credence from the Emperor of China. It was rather an extensive docu- ment, beautifully encased in yellow satin. Her Majesty, evidently pleased, received the docu- ment, and addressing Mr. Burlingame said she was glad to welcome the first Chinese Embassy to Great Britain. She was pleased to greet Mr. Burlingame and the mission, and she expressed the belief that its object was a step in the right direction. Mr. Burlingame then introduced his associate ministers and the secretaries to the Queen. The interview throughout was marked by the utmost gordiality. A magnificent luncheon was shortly afterward served in the Castle. While the company was seated Lord Stanley took oecasion to express himself as perfectly in accordance with Mr. Burlingame’s senti- ments relative to China. It was true, he said, that certain degree of opposition, originating in igno- rance of the real object of the Chinese mission, coupled with a desire to adhere to the old tradi- tional British coercive policy, met Mr. Burlingame on his arrival in England, but this had all passed away. Mr. Burlingame by his dignified course, and feeling the grandeur and importance of the high trust confided to his care, had conducted himself in such @ manner as to completely disarm opposition and create not only a favorable impression for China, but forthe United States; for, while acting as the representative of the Emperor of China, his digni- fled bearing and progressive ideas exhibited him as @ true type of the representative American. Lord Stanley then concluded by expressing the belief that the cordial principles which are fast influencing the nations of the world have changed foes to friends. Taken altogether the reception of the Chinese Embassy by Queen Victoria was most handsome, and is calculated to impress the members of the mission more favorably in their ideas of the British nation. Modification in the Alabama Settlements— The Commission to Sit in Washington. Lonpon, Nov. 21, 1868. It ts announced to-day that Lord Stanley has ac- ceded to the modification of the Alabama settlement, which permits the commission to sit in Wash- ington. ‘The London Press on the Parliamentary Elec- tious—Serious Riots in England and Ireland.

Blennerhasset and Viscount St. Laurence, both liberals, from Galwayboro, and Lord J. Manners, conservative, from Leicestershire North. The fol- lowing liberal candidates have been defeated:—The Marquis of Hartington, for Lancashire Northwest, and Right Hon. C. Horsman, for Stroud. Serious riots have occurred at various places in the kingdom during the elections.

Dissension Said to be Breaking Out Among the Rebel Leadere—Volunteers Offering to Government—Opinions in Havana—The Vuelta Abajo Stery—Both Parties Telling Favorable Stories. Havana, Nov. 21, 1868, Many rumors are in circulation in the city in re- gard to the numbers and position of the revolution- ists. The insurrectionists claim that they have from 10,000 to 12,000 men and that they are in possession of the town of Puerto Principe; but the reports are doubted in this city. Itis stated that a disagree- ment has broken out among the leaders of the insur- rection in regard to the Presidency. The command- ing general and the principal leaders of the revolu- tonfsts are reported to be Dominicans. ‘The report received here from Spain stating that General Primadvocates the Bourbon dynasty causes much rejoi among the ultra royalists. Battalions of volunteers, mipopally veterans, are organizing for active service in the field. ‘The revolutionists still hold possession of Bayamo and other towns. There is considerable excitement tn this city and the surrounding country. ‘The revolution is thought to be decreasing, and the general opinion is that it will die out on the arrival of troops expected from ‘The Cuban republicans claim that the revolution- ists are daily receiving reinforcements, but the in- formation received by the government through private letters is to the contrary. It is reported that great suffering exists in the revolutionary districts on account of the scarcity of provisions. ‘The reported uprising in Vuelta Abajo proves to be a hoax. Ail accounts agree that the main portion of the Repueeoniee are badly armed and want ammuni- ion. Telegrams received by the government to-day state that Puerto Principe continues in the posses- sion of the ororamneas troops, with Balmaseda com- manding. Imaseda ridicules the idea of his being attacked by the revolutionists, but on the contrary gays he has commenced operations against them. HAYTI.

The Fenian prisoners in jail here under the Habeas Corpus Suspension act are to be liberated on bail at once. Buckley, Doyle and Kinsella, indicted as ac- cessories to the murder of Hon. Darcy McGee, will not be liberated. ‘The notorious Whalen was re- moved from jail last night, under a writ of habeas corpus, to be present in the Toronto court at the argument on Tee for a new trial in his case. He was heavily ironed and handcuffed, and on the way to the station he indulged, as usual, in profane and reckless remarks. He will return to jail here whatever the decision of the court may be.

Miss Ann Parmelia Cunningham, of South Carolina, was re- elected regent, and her report shows that the treas- ury haa within the past year been replenished to a eae extent than ever before, which fact is attri- utable to the establishment of daily communication with Washington by the steamer Arrow.

Two boys, about twelve years of age, were flogged with twenty lashes each for petty offences. One man was placed in the pillory until he was totally heip- less from the cold, and was then whipped with twenty lashes. Each of the criminals, after receiving the barbarous punishment, was returned to prison to remain there six months, after which they will also have to wear convicts’ dreas in pablic for another half year.

THE INDIAN WAR. A Heavy Force in Pursuit of the Hostile Tribee—The Plan of the Campaign—General Sheridan in the Field. Sr. Louts, Nov. 21, 1868. A letter, dated Fort Hays, the 16th instant, says that the entire force in the fleld against the Indians is Governor Crawford’s (of Kansas) cavalry, 1,600 strong; seven companies of the Fifth cavalry, eleven companies of the Seventh cavalry, four companies of the Tenth cavalry, one company of the Thirtieth in- fantry (colored), one company of the Third infantry (Forsyth’s scouts), amounting in all to about 3,000 men. There ts part of a regiment at Fort Wallace— probably a reserve—and quite a force coming from the southwest to join General Sully’s command now moving south towards the Arkansas and Canadian rivers. It is reported that quite a large number of the Indians will also join the expedition. The principal hostile tribes are the Arapahoes, Apaches, Kiowas, Comanches and a mixed out lawed band called Dog Soldiers. Among the latter are many white desperadoes, The Do; idiers are now tered about the headwaters of the streams north of Smoky Hill, and will probably remain horth of the railroad all winter. The other four tribes are south of the Arkansas river, where they will build their lodges for the winter. They can muster from 3,000 to 6,000 war- riors, all armed with carbines and revolvers, in ad- dition to their arrows and knives, and are well sup- plied with ammunition, General Sheridan will command the expedition in person, The plan is to attack the Indians in their winter quarters, destroy their lodges and everything they have, take away their arms and force all those that escape slaughter to live on reservations below the Arkansas. The destinati expedition will probably be Sand Plains, south of the Arkansas, making that point a base of sup- lies, General Sheridan has ah supply of extra jorses and the best outit that has ever taken the field on the Plains. If he can prevent the Indians from breaking up into small bands and coming north he can give them a very severe punishment; but if they elude him alter the first attack and reach the railroad in raiding parties they can do immense Gamage, as there will be but a small force along the route to protect it. General Sheridan left Fort Hays on the 15th, and will overtake his force near Walnut creek. He will then move to the Indian country, but will not com- mence active operations for three or four'weeks.

When the General and his party entered the carriages at the hotel in Philadelphia to start for the depot a very large crowd assembled and hailed his appearance with around of hearty cheers, which the General Tesponded to by lifting his hat. Along the route to Washington crowds had gathered at the differ- ent stopping places, and the greatest eager- neas was shown to get a peep at the Presi- dent elect. The General did not speak, however, at any place, and only acknowledged the compli- ments paid him by bowing to the people.

The firing was conducted by Colonel T, G. Baylor, assisted by Major W. 8. Beebe and Captain Poland. There are three different kinds of targets here, all of the latest and most improved patterns. The En- gineers’ Department have been engaged upon them for some months past, and they were models of neat- ness and strength. The largest one was of granite, and had a smail embrasure about four feet from the ground, and is said to have been erected on the same plan as the ‘‘Rip Raps,” or more proj Fort Wool. It is of strong stone work, and suppo! on each side with heavy abutments. The second one ts composed of a heavy wrought iron embrasure, com- of two heavy ye of wrought tron, over a foot in thickness, and firmly riveted together, the back supported by heavy masonry.
