NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. and speculators. All we want is for Congress to let'the eurrency and finances alone, except to provide the. ways and means to carry on the goverament and to carry out General Grant’s idea of retrenchment, economy and the faithful collection of the revenue, The country will do the rest and restores itself through the natural course of things, The rapid development of our resources, the in- crease of population, the industry and intense activity of the American people, under the auspices of peace and the new administration, will increase the wealth of the country im- mensely every year, and the demand for cur- rency with which to do the business.” This will gradually and healthfully bring us to a specie basis, appreciate the public credit with- out special legislation and place the republic on the high road to unexampled prosperity and the debt in the way of liquidation. The less Congress attempts to do the better, and we hope the next one will avoid the folly of this Congress; for the country, its finances and the currency will come right through the operation of natural causes, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, in use, in either of which contracts can be enforced according to the terms éf such con- tracts. The question of coin contracts is thus set at rest, Sailor’ Snug Harbor, Again. An old resident of Staten Island, one who dwells within the pleasant neighborhood of the home of old salts and ancient tars known as Sailors’ Snug Harbor—a most euphonious and. appropriate title for a spot where battered maritime humanity seeks a safe port after the long voyage of life before and behind the mast—brings us to task for our comments upon that institution. We give a portion of his communication, which is couched in the following words :— Living in the immediate vicinity of the Satlors' Snug harbor, of Staten Isiand, and knowing int- Mately the officers of the institution, 1 may be pre- 8 to know something of the general effects of this most useful charitable institution and of its gen- @ral uavagement; and I also personally know man: of the old salts, and they seem tw be well satisfies with the care and attention which is shown them, Bese are, I (atl over teat hunareds aoa property 1s avout eighty-five thousand dollars, givi nite more than two huadred dollars for each sailor's maintenance, 1t is necessary that strict economy should be exercised; and it is certainly shown ia the salaries of the officers, the governor receiving but twenty-five hundred dollars a year and the officers in proportion. I mention these chit rally because I have seen with Tegret in the HeRALD recentiy some articles calcu- lated to prejudice the public mind against the insti- tution; and I am sure you wouid feel the same regret af you knew as well as 1 do the admirable character of this worthy charity and the faithful manner in Which the meaning and intent of the wil! are carried out, and what a biessing it must be for them to have such a haven to look forward to. The amount tated in the HeRaLp of three hundred thousand dollars as the income of. the property is very much exaggerated, The present income 13 about eighty- five thousand dollars, which wiil, however, be in- creased by beg heed thougand dollars if the arrange- ment with Mr. Stewart ts carried out. It cannot be supposed that you'leel the same interest in this in- stitution that I do; but 1 au sure that you feel a deep interest in the accuracy of the fiRRALD’s state- ments, which are so wide'y spread to the remotest corners of the earth, and on this account I hope that you will pardon me for thua intruding upon you. We give our correspondent iull credit for his earnestness of purpose and his thorough honesty in defending the management of the Sailors’ Snug Harbor. It is evident that he is prompted by the most commendable feelings of humanity, and that he is conscientiously satisfied with the management of the institu- tion. But at the same time we reserve our right to entertain a ditfercnt opinion, and to express it in our columns, We have not com- plained of the mode in which the institution on Staten Island is conducted, and here our correspondent mistakes us. It may be made very comfortable for the four hundred old sail- ors who are sheltered there. We have no doubt that it is. But we hold that, with the immense estate under control of the trustees, the beneficence of the institution should be more largely extended than it is now. We suggest that there are means enough at com- mund to give the comforts of a home to many more dilapidated old salis, if the estate were properly managed, and we continue to hope that the matter will be agitated until this re- sult is accomplished, We do not assail the management of the estubilsiment at Staten Island, but we do think that the estate could be managed so as to obtain larger results and carry out better the sensille aud charitable spirit of the donor. Arrival and Departure of Albany Burgesses Corps. ‘This well known corps, which is the pioneer of uniformed military organizations in the State of New York, arrived at the Twenty-ninth street depot of the Hudson Railroad in the fifteen minutes past four o'clock train yesternoon, en route for Wash- ington, to attend the inaugural ceremonies to- morrow. Having alighted from the train they took up their hne of march up Twenty-ninth street to Ninth avenue to Twenty-third street; thence to Fifth avenue to Waverley place, on to Broadway and down Broadway to the Metro- politan Hotel, where a substantial dinner was awalt- ing them, in accordance with previous arrangements, ‘The corps presented a fine soldierly appearance, and crowds of wie accompanied them irom the depot to the hofel, all being evidently delighted with the strains of an esegant band of twenty pieces, and the splendid manner in which the hers marched to things provide a foe th i to di ul provided for them and appeare: io ample justice to the viands. About the middie of the repast Mr, Simeon Leland entered the dining hall, in company with Mr. Frederick Daunt Grant, the son of General Grant, who is a cadet at West Point, and who was stoppii ng temporarily at the hotel, 1n- tending to go on ‘ashington last night, in com- pany with his younger brother, to witness the iau- ‘uration of their futher. On being introduced by ir. Leland, the company cheered vociferously. He bowed his acknowied; nts, add, being not more than nineteen years old, was naturally rather bash- ful. He was asked by several of the ollicers to allow the company to escort him and his~ brother to Washington, Which, after a little hesita- tion, he accepied, and retired from the room. His bia brother was stopping at ex-Governor Ham- ‘ton Fish’s, and the elder joined him in @ carriage shortly before eight o’clock, when they were driven ronan Meee where they were met by the Bur- gesses.

Later advices confirm the revolutionary rising of the Cubans reported to have taken place at Conso- lacion del Sur, 9 town situated in the Western De- partment, near the Hondo river and not far from the important. town of Nueva Filipina. The strength of the insurgents is not stated. A body of troops has gone from Guanabacao to quell this outburst. Another rising has taken place at Coliseo, a small town lying on the railroad, between Matanzas and Macagua and near to the first named pluce. General Poello’s forces are hard at work barri- cading and fortifying Santo Espiritu, which would indicate their inability to assume offensive opera- tions against the insurgents, Intelligence from Santiago de Cuba states that a steamer had arrived there with a number of Coolies on board, but the negroes would not allow them to land.

HAVANA, March 2, 1869. Areport is circulating in this city that all the poli- tical prisoners will be sent to the island of Fernando Po, and that volunteers are being enlisted to act as @ guard on board of the transports detailed to carry them to that place. The government is at present silent upon the subject. Francisco Hernandez, the commander of the cavalry in the district of Pinar del Rio, has been ar- rested and placed in jail on a charge of disloyalty. OMcial information has been received of three en- gagements of the troops under Colonel Valero with the insurrectionists, during which the troops used the bayonet freely. The insurgents lost sixty killed, ‘and the troops four killed and several wounded. ‘The forces under General Letona have arrived at Villa Clara, and those under General Paez at Clen- fuegos. The rebels have burned the San Miguel plantation, The Diario says an engagement took place at Maguaraya, two leagues from Sagua la Grande, in which the insurgents were defeated, with a loss of twenty killed and many wounded.

The House, at times, had been induced to waste the property of the Irish Church, so that its magnitude might not shock the public mmd, It had been necessary at tumes to support the ascendancy of the Church by the enactment of penal laws. If this ascendancy were maintained, bitter feelings on the part. of the Irish people would never cease. Adverting to previous action on this measure, Mr. Gladstone declared that it had resulted in making the House and the country unanimous for disestablishment, He would not dwell upon the argu- ments which had been put forward against it, but he dented that his course was adverse to the welfare of religion and interests of Protestantism; he denied thatit contemplated fmvasion of the rights of pro- perty, arguing that Parliament, which had the right to create corporations, had an equal right to extin- guish them. He referred to the objections to dis- establishment, which were based upon the Act of Union, and answered them by maintaining that the Trish Church, as at present constituted, defeated the intent of that act and prevented any real union between the people of Eng- land and Ireland; the only means of establish- ing that unton were religious liberty and civil equal- ity. The bill would be conclusive, shutting out all controversy, but carrying with it no penality or pain, He proceeded to explain that the bill is intended to Go into effect on and after the first day of January, 1871, AS soon as it.has received the royal assent a commission will be appointed for a period of ten years to guard the property of the Church, and to prevent the creation of any new interests. All ec- clesiastical appointments for Ireland hereafter are to be made without freehold, No money is to be empioyed for permanent purposes. These provisions are to take the place of the suspensory measures passed last year. It is assumed that the clergy and people may desire to have other religious or- ganizations for those which they were about to give up. In such case the Queen tn Council would recog- nize the newly constituted religious bodies, but would not create them. The result would be the abolition of ecclesiastical courts and jurisdiction and of the rights of bishops to the peerage; all ecclesias- tical corporations would be dissolved, and then the disestablishment of the Irish Church would be com- plete, Provision is made for the clergy, who are to receive life annuities. All private endowments are to remain intact. The Church ts to be handed over to a council for religious purposes. Grants are pro- posed for the support of St. Patrick’s and eleven other cathedrals, these structures being regarded as national property. Church buildings no longer re- quired are to be handed over to the Board of Works jor the benefit of a fund, and burial grounds are to ve placed under chargefot the Guardians of the Poor. The Presbyterian clergy are to receive annuities in hen of the regium donum, and the Roman Catholic college at Maynooth and the Pres- byterian colleges are to be granted capital- ized sums of money. Further legislation 13 to be had im regard to Trinity Voliege. A tithe rent charge will be offered to land owners at twenty-two and @ hauf years’ purchase. Church leases are to be sold, tenants having the first option. The capital- ized value of the Church property is estimated at £16,500,000, of which £8,000,000 1s to be appropriated to compensation, and the remainder, in the words of the preamble to the bill, “is to be employed for the advantage of the Irish people; not for the purposes of any church or class, nor for the teaching of religion, but for relief in cases of unavoidable calamity, or suffering, while atthe same time it is not to can- cel the obligations laid upon property for the relief of the poor,” Grants are also to be made to provide for the care of lunatics, for the training of nurses and for the support of county infirmaries, Mr. Glad- stone proceeded at considerable length to urge upon. the House the great results which were to be ex- pected from the passage of this measure in the tran- Guillity of Ireland and tne greater union, security and power of the empire. Mr. Disraeli followed Mr. Gladatone, and spoke briefy. He said he regarded the policy of the ad- ministration in regard to the Irish Church as politi- cally wrong and their bill as an act of confiscation. But the government had a right to bring the matter before the House for a full and Kt discussion, and he would not oppose the introduction of the bill, The 1m made by Mr. Gladstone was then ‘he bill was introduced and read for the first time, The 18th of March was appointed for the second — ‘The House then adjourned, ‘The Times to-day says the scheme for the dises- tablishment of the Irish Church proposed by Mr. Gladstone fairly accomplishes the task, and the gov- ernment deserves the support of Parliament.

A Special Train Ruus into an Emigrant Traia near Tivoli—Twe Cars Smashed Up~ A Jewish Rabbi Severely Injured and Several Persons Bruised—No Lives Lest— Particulars of the Affair. POUGHKEEPSIE, March 2, 1869. As the emigrant train bound north was passing Barrytown, on the Hudson River Railroad, at five o'clock this morning, the engineer of the train, ascer- taining that bis engine was short of water, un- coupled bis engine from the train and started for Tivoli for a supply, leaving his train running along slowly. It passed on to and over the long truss bridge between Barrytown and Tivoli, and became neariy stationary at Cruger’s Crossing, when an extra freight train bound north, consisting of twenty-eight cars, came upon the same track and smashed ito the emigrant train. The locomotive, Balttc, drawing the extra train, was badly damaged and the tender hurled into the river. The caboose car of the eint- grant train and an em! t car containing emi- ts were also smashed. Several of the emigrants oe more or less bruised, but none fatally injured. ‘The one injured the most is Abraham Shineman, of the Catharine street Sanat. New York city. He says he resides at No. 20 xter street, and was on his way to Nashville, Tenn. I visited him ab the Duchess House, where he is be! kindiy cared for, when he stated that his breast pained him greatly as did his head. No bones are broken, and Dr. Barton, of Tivoli, thinks he may: get around again ina day or two. Itis not post- tively known who is to blame for the accident. ‘The emigrant train was about three hours belund time, with the extra train following close behind. itis claimed by some that the brakeman on the emigrant train, whose duty it was to ran back with a danger signal when nis trained slowed up, failed to perform that duty, while others state that the extra train had no business to-be following so ciosely, and that the collision occurred through carelessness, because it happened on a straight wack, where an obstruction on the track could have been seen a long way om.
