Some Particulars Pertaining to the “Ter; { ing Season.” ‘rhe “tenting season,” or that bayticniar time of the year when the Managers 971q proprietors of ttinerant circuses and menager’es erect their mam- fjoth "show tents” { OUt %i-the-way villages, large towns and small Cities. ‘uas arrived, and, in fact, it might with strict Propriety be said to have been al- ready inaugurated. Many of these “shows,” as they are technically termed, have aiready com- menced operations, while nota few are even now preparing to take the fleld, The present ‘tenting season” vids fair in many respects to be a prosper- ‘ous one, and our ‘“showmen” are making ‘their calculations and preparations accordingly. Many of the companies have received valua- ble acquisitions of horses and performers, and tn some few instances novel and really attrac- tuve features have been added to their programmes, which, by the way, are seldom if ever changed dur- ing the entire season. In fact, the only change ever made in the bills of a travelling citreus consists in the aadition of some new bareback rider, a supple gymnast and occasionally a brace of daring trapezists, who nightly risk life and limb in order to eke out a miserable existence—an existence which, in a measure, depends for its continuance upon the approval of astonished and gaping rustica, No mat- ter how thoroughly artistic and graceful in his per- formance a member of the troupe may be, let him once fail to tickle the risibilities of his rastic audi- tors—which is sometimes a very difficult thing to do—and he fails to please his manager, and then his bread 13 in danger. We have In this country about thirty regular licensed circuses and menageries, ail of which, daring the “tenting season,” reap a good harvest of greenbacks, commit smali depredations and other- Wise enjoy themselves. The season lasts from six to seven months, according to the weather, and auring that time these concerns meander about the country, frst in one State and then in another, and some- times in @ state of peace and prosperity and some- ‘times in a state of suffering and privation. Often one'of these “shows” will travei from potnt to point by raitroad, sometimes by boat, but more frequently in their own caravans. This latter mode, though entailing much hardship upon both men and ‘animals, is decidedly the most popular with ‘the members of the troupe, and as a general thing the most remunerative to the proprie- tors. This is termed “roughing it,” and many men of amMuence and ease have often joined a circus company for Ng of enjoying this mode of across country travel and building up shattered constitutions; but it must not be imagined that this sort of life is always couleur de rose. To-night the troupe perform, we will say, in Honp-la-ville, and are bilied to delight the mhabt- tants of Spangleville, thirty miles distant, the night following. This is how they manage it: After the people have departed to their homes the entire company, divested of the glittering paraphernalia of the arena, snatch a few brief hours of sleep, from which they are soon aroused by some one a command, wheo they immediately strike their tent, pis it, with their other “gorgeous fixins,” ina luge wagon, mount their horses and stiently take up their line of march at one or two o'clock in the ponte | for the scene of their next exploits. They generally sO manage it as to reach thetr intended camping ground at an hour when the whole village or town is astir. This — they take possession of in a most audacious and magniticent manner, They enter the town with bends playing and flags flyin; and from tiat moment until sunset it is quite holiday m that particular town or village. An agent has gone on before and made @l the necessary arrangements as regards a piace for holding the exhibition, boarding ‘the horses and company and stirring up the inhahi- tants to a fever heat of excitement by the announce- Ment on flaming posters that “the great show is coming.” So there is no trouble to be experienced im that quarter. When they arrive at a town they generally find the inhabitants ready for them, and they in turn are generally ready for the inhabitants, When it is taken into consideration that the m jority of the places visited by these ttine “shows” during the summer are amusementiess throughout the entire year It cannot be wondered at that whenever a strey circus or menageri itches its tent in their neighborhood every- ody for miles around is delighted and fcels in duty bound to patronize the “show.” Thus it ts that our “showmen” manage to make enough money during the “tenting season,” notwihstandiag the great expense inseparable from their business. to pass them safely over the winter and leave gem @ nice margin of a profit. The following is a short description of some of the Principal “shows” of this kind that will delight our country cousins during the eusuing summer:— THE NEW YORK Cincus, This establishment closes ils present season in this oity, on Saturday, the 24th inst. It goes hence to Wazhington, where it wil deligut our political acro- bats with many new dodges in ground and lofty tum! ing, travelling thence to Baltimore, Philadei- through the Eastern States. The New York under the management of mr. L. B. is one of the very few establishments of its kind that flourishes prosperously from year's end to year’s end. [ts headquarters is located at the neat “Hipotheatron,” in Fourteenth street, to which it always returns in the fall, and where it re- mains the entire winter.

Before Judge Benedict. James W. Caldwell vs. the Steamboat Thomas Kelley.—Judge Benedict yesterday rendered the fol- lowing decision in this case:— This case comes before me upon exceptions to the Commissioner’s report. The action is brought to Tecover damages occasioned to the libellants by the striking of @ canal boat laden with coal, in a collision which occurred on the 17th of January, 1867, in the port of New York. It appears that the vessel with the coal on boars was raised on the 22d of Jan- uary and taken to the Atlantic dock. The coal boat was taken out and sold at a private sate, the dis- charging occupying two and @ half aye, and the then taken to Elizabethport, N. J., to be re- patred. Almost immediately on her arrival there she was frozen in so that she could not put be upon the Ways until the 8th of March, when she was hauled out and the repairs to her completed. The commis- sioners allowed the libellants demurage at the rate of seven dollars per day for the whole rlodot forty-seven and a half davs, to which allowance exception is taken. The Comnussioner also allowed one dollar and fifty cents per ton for depreciation of the coal by reason of the damage caused by the mud and water, to which objection was also taken. Ob- jection was also taken to the allowance of $438 for the expenses o1 the repairs. Other objections were taken to the report on the part of the libellants by reason of its vagueness which were obviated by admissions on the argument. The plaintiff also ex- cepted to the rate of demurrage allowed and the amount of damage tothe coal. As to the question of demurrage I am of opinion that the libellants are not entitled to recover poses for the period of de- tention caused by the tact that the boat was frozen in at Elizabethport, where she went to repair. The collision occurred in the port of New York, where, as the evidence shows, the repairs would have been effected promptly and without any risk of freezing up. Kis not shown that the repairs would have been done more cheaply at Elizabethport than in New York, nor does it appear that that was the heme port of the vessel, nor 1s any reason whatever sug- gested by the evidence for taking the boat to Eliza- vethport. The taking of the boat, without any sufficient reason, to a port where she was in danger of being frozen up, and where she was, in fact, frozen up immediately after her arrival, was an error on the part of the master of the canal boat, for the consequence of which he alone 1s responsible, He cannot charge the respondents with a loss which the exercise of ordinary prudence on his part would have avoided, The report must, therefore, be modi- fied by reducing the demurrage to a period of time sufficient to complete the repairs under ordinary cir- cumstances, Any extra expenses for taking the boat to Elizabethport must, for the same reason, be disal- lowed. The next objection is to the allowance of $1 50 per ton as the damage to the cargo of coal by mudd and water. It appears that the damage was never appraised, and that the coal was sold at. private saie in its damaged condition, without notice to the re- epondents, who were to be held responsible for the loss. I disapprove of this mode of procedure, The damage to the coal should have been ascertained by & proper examination or by a sale upon notice to the respondent, or in sowe other way not open to the suspicions always attending a private sale of damaged property without notice, The allowance for this damage to the coal I permit to stand, simply because it appears affirmatively that the coal was wet and muddy, and [ am of the opinion, looking at the whole evidence, that a sale at auction on notice would probably have shown as much loss as has been allowed, but I ll mark my disapproval of the course pursued by casting upon the libetlauts the fees of the witnesses called to show the loss upon the coal, Had the coal been sold on notice the necessity of any witnesses would, probavly, have been avotded. The ocher items of the report appear to be correct and the objections thereto overruled. If the amount to be decreed in accordance with this opinion is not agreed upon let the case be sen. to the Commission to reform the report in the particu- lars referred to, SUPREME COUST—CIRCUIT. Action Agninst the Sheriff to Recover Value of Property Seized. Before Judge Barnard. Frank Walter and Others va, Puirick Campbell.— Defendant is the Sheriff of Kings county. By virtue of an execution issued from the Supreme Court he seized upon 176 tons of coal, valued at $990, under the belief that the coal was the property of George J. G. Davidson, against whom the execution was held, Walter, the plaintiff, claimed that the coal belonged to him and brought the action to recover its value.

It is dated April 9, from his cell in one of the filthy dungeons in Havana:— DEAREST FRIEND—From the same prison from which I wrote to you last I now write to relate to you some of those melancholy scenes—scenes of ief and blood—which, unfortunately for civiliza- ‘ion, have always marked the annals of Spanish rule in America, ‘To-day. at eleven A. M., the Cuban patriots, Leon and Medina, were murdered on the vile garrote. ‘This instrument consists of the framework of 4 gal- lows, but, instead of life being taken by a rope around the neck, the victim is placed ina sitting posture and an tron ring attached toa post is ad- justed around his neck. On the opposite side of tlre post is a lever, which the executioner turos in such away thatthe vertebre of the neck are broken, causing death, ‘This is considered by the Spaniard the most ignominious of all modes of execution, and hence only malefactors are executed in this way. The behavior of these our brothers in their last mo- ments was so heroic that I cannot omit the details. Leon, on nearing the bench, turned to the people, who in great numbers surrounded him, and ad- dressed them in a firm and manty voice, telling them that he was going to die with pleasure, be- cause he already knew that the revolution was gain- ing ground every day, and that Cuba at last would be free. Much more that he said was drowned by the beating of drums by the Spanish soldierv. There was, however, a pause of the drumming, aud then were heard the words uttered by Léon as the ring was put around his neck, He repeated again and in, “Hurrah for Cespedes ! “Hurrah for Cuba!’ In the multitude, which con- sisted mainly of Spaniards, there were about fin or Cubans, who, carried away by h enthusiasm, took up his cry, “Hurrah for Ces- pedes!? “Hurrah for Cuba!” and made the welkin ring with their hnzzas. The Spaniards, with- out waiting to ascertain who bad raised this cry, turned and fired upon the snectators, killing seven, among them a woman, aud wounding more than forty. AS soon as quiet had been restored, and the dead and wounded victims of this barbarous outrage had been carried away and cared for, Medina, the other prisoner, was conducted to the place of execution. As he approached it he shouted forth in stentorian tones, calling the attention of his friends to some- thing he had to say; but the volunteers, maddened already by the prevfous carnage, became flends, and without warning or provocation, or without giving him the pies of speaking, shot him dead. What is your opinion, dear friend, about these bloody scenes? not Quesada act justly in shooting all the prisoners who fall into his hands? Do these Spanish hyenas deserve any better treat- ment than they give? You are probably already aware that Quesada has taken from the enemy of liberty three convoys, and in the last capture, which happened on the 21st ult., he made 200 prisoners, whom he shot. You have heard that Juan Osorio, the purser of the steamer Comanditario, conceived and carried out the bold idea of taking possession of ‘hat vessel. He sailed away with her; but the Peace afterwards re- captured her, near New idence, W. i. And this they did notwithstanding the protest of the commander of an English gunboat, who ordered them to return her to the Cubans, as she carried the oe flag and her name had been changed to the ‘ara. If this act of the English captain is not a recogni- tion of our independence of right it is at least of fact. It 1s said that the English commander made a design of the Cuban flag and threw it on the deck of the Yara in token of his sympathy with the Cuban cause. It 18 now past eight o'clock, evening, and I have just learned that twelve bodies have been found, mostiy of colored Tsons, who were slaughtered by the Spanish volunteers, principally belonging to the Fifth and Sixth regiments. The Spanish flends pene- trated the streets adjacent to the place of execution. firing indiscriminately upon all who approached them. They also entered private residences on their bloody errand. They visited the house of the dis- tinguished lawyer, Valdes Tapia, in St. Lazaro ave- nue, whom they found dangerously ill, and, contrary to their natural propensities, they spared his life; but they destroyed all his furniture, library and apers. pal have to record yet another outrage. At five o’clock this evening a white man and a colored man were shot, having been captured by the Spanish volunteers, Who acted both as accusers and judges. What do you think of this? oes history present in its annals another man so infamous as General Dulce, who allows these outrages to be perpetrated? A volunteer in liquor or in his senses may kill any Cuban and remain unpunished for his offence by giving as his reason for the crime that the patriot has hurrahed for Cuba and for liberty. Cuban Revolutionary Address to the People of the United States, Sefior Valiente, the general agent for the Cuban republican government, has prepared the following address to the people of the United States, setting forth the causes and prospects of the existing revo- Iution in Cuba and the claims of the struggling patriots upon American: To THE PROPLE OF THE UNITED STaTrs— Seeing that frequent misrepresentations of the revolutionary movement going on m Cuba are made through the press, I beg leave to answer them by Jaying before the pubiic a brief statement. of facts connected with that movement, Revolutions never go backward. They may be checked for a shorter or longer time, but finally burst forth with irresistible impulse and roll on toa successful issue, So with regard to Cuba, which has failed in several attempts to overthrow the tyrant over her, but is likely to succeed now in the strugzie for freedom and self-government. To review her efforts for national existence and sketch the griey- ances which justiiy the revolution going on within her borders are the purposes of this address, which ts respectfully submitted by the undersigned, as gene- ral agent of the Cuban revolution. Ever since the close of the war of Independence im South America the Captain General of Cuva has been clothed by special law with all the powers given to commanders of besieged places. This severe measure arose from the revolutionary attempt which was then defeated through the interference of the United States government, lest universal free- dom in siaveholding Cuba should affect slavery in the Southern States of this country, aa Mr. Clay re. marked at the time, in explanation of his opposition to the military expedition which Venezuela, then at war with Spain, was fitting out to help Cubato achieve her independence: so that Cuba has been since that time groaning under a relentless tyranny, but still endeavoring now and then to shake it olf. Her endeavors have brought about not only the reecution or execntion of many tilustrious Cubans, put also that of many high-minded Spaniards, such as General Lorenzo, who, while Governor of Santiago de Cuba in 1896, proclaimed there the liberal consti- tution promulgated in Spain, and was perse- cuted by Captain General Tacon, who sent from Havana a heavy body of troops agamet him and his constitutional followers. Several years later many Cubans who remonstrated against the e trade were persecuted for having done so, and neariy ali of them driven into exile, Shortly there- after military commissions were set at work all over the Western Department of Cuba to suppress an al- leged conspiracy among the colored le. The guilty parties were found chiefly among the ricb free colored men, whose png td was, of course, con- fiscated and their lives taken by wholesale on the seaffold, while not @ few of them diea under the sh, which was freely and mercilessiy used to The suppression of conspiracy was followed a few years later by a reai conspiracy of the white people, under the lead of General Lopez, who being de- tected before his plans were matured for an uprising in the central part of the isiand, fled and came to the United States, whence he sailed in 1850 at the head of some 600 men and landed at Cardenas, He fatied In his attempt to free Cuba and returned to the United States. During the subseqnent year partial uprisings took place and Lopez sailed for Cuba once more with about 450 men, to assist his friends in their efforts to achieve Cuban independence; but he again failed, and himself and many of his followers were executed. However, the Cubans, persevering In their determination to be free, renewed their plans to that end, and a well organized movement was started under General Quitman, but fell through, in 1855, with the loss of valuable lives and the banishment of a great many distinguished Cubans, to say nothing of a heavy outlay of moi Yet, nevertheless, the Cubans, not despairing, a few years afterwards began to work again for their freedom, and when the late Spanish revolution broke out they were finally ma- turing their plans to free On’ from the military Sway of Spain. That revolution improved their op- portunity, on 10th ot October last they rose Up In arms, as appears from the following extract of thetr declaration of independence, dated at Manza- nillo on that day, viz.: Tn arming ourselves agatost the tyrannical government of Spain we must, ording 10 iprecefent nal er tries, proctaim' Before the world the P.

Cespedes, who is the commander-in-chief of that army and the head of the republican government duly established within the lines of the liberators, Their lines run in a westerly direction from the eastern end of the island to Sagua la Grande, without reaching the seaboard, either North or South, for want of the requisite armament to hold it, But the territory pointed out is nearly two-thirds of the area of Cuba, in which slavery has been abotished, and in whict the Spanish control only the ground where they are kept at bay. This has been done by the patriots in a@ comparatively short time, notwithstanding their sad deficiency in war material, and leads to the be- lief thatif they had been tolerably supplied with such materials their movements would now cover also the remainder of the island, where no uprising has yet taken place from utter want of arms, while thelr enemies are fully armed with the best approved weapons of the United States, But sych are our neutrality laws, hie Bead a European Power to obtain war materials freely from our workshops to crush a People stru; ling for freedom in the very heart of Al eto d prohibit the same people from supplying themselves with similar materials from us to carry on their struggle against that Power. Yet the Spanish hireiiags, in thelr mis- representations of tie Cuban revolution, fre- quently assert through their editorial columis and otherwise that ihe laws referred to have been violated. Let them bear in mind that from the foregoing statement of facts no other con- clusion can be drawn but that Cuba is fairly started in her way to national independence; that her sons have been manfully tighting for it these six months, without having yet violated our neutrality, despite thelr lack of arms, and are therefore entitled to the earnest sympathy of our people, and the more so as their struggie involves a great American principle— hainely, that no European Power shall longer control aby country upon this hemisphere, J. VALIENTE. IB MTARS SURO Yen doe ighta of man as HAYTIL. Affaire at St. Marc—Sinking of a Blockader by the Aux Cayes Rebele=Movements ot ‘Troops. Private advices from St. Marc to the 20th ult. have been received here. There were twenty vessels of aM kinds in the harbor, principally carrying French flags, and of large tonnage. Coffee was abundant, but high. Logwood was scarce. The heaviest shipments being made were of cotton. A French war steamer arrived at St. Marc on the 19th from Aux Cayes bringing mews of the sinking of Salnave’s blockading steamer, the Galaeta, by the insurgents. She was sunk by a concealed bat- tery, erected ashore abreast of her, A body of troops left St. Marc on the 20th to rein- force the besieging forces at Gonaives, and to take the place if possible. It was reported that :nany of the Picquets had Je- serted Salnaves’ cause aad gone over to the revolu- tonists. Business was orisk.. THE TWENTY=3IX THOUSAND DOLLAR FORGERES. It will be remembered that on Tuesday last a number of forged checks, purporting to have been issued by the banking house of say Cooke & Com- pany, were presented at the bank of the State of New York, and about $26,000 secured upon them. ‘The forgeries of the firm’s signature, as well as those of the officers, were so perfect that their detec- tion was almost impossible, and the facts showed conclusively that the forgeries were the handiwork of no inexperienced hand at the business. ‘The case was promptly placed in the hands of the Superintend- ent of Police and Chief Kelso, who after consultation with the bank officials detailed two of their keenest officers to work up the case. For two days Messrs. James Irving and John Coyle have been engaged In prosecuting inquiry as to who perpetrated the forgeries, The clue was struck alter many ap- pareutly unsurmountable difficulties had presented themselves, and three persons, well known to the police as notorious “financiers,” were credited with the work, One of the suspected parties, who gave the name of George Smith, was arrested yesterday uorntug and locked up at the Central OMce by those oficers, who searched him and failed to find any considerable sum of money ee his per- son, They at once set about discovering the whereabouts of the suspected accomplices, and yesterday afternoon were in a fair’ way of not only securing them, but also a large portion of the mouey, Wied an evening paper premature! y published the arrest of Smith, ag well the name of one of the other parties wanted. The result of this publication will doubtless be that the really guilty parties will avoid the detectives, and a case that, under the careful management .f the Superin- tendent, Sergeant Kelso, and their officers, pro- mised to resuit in the conviction of the forgers and the recovery of the pie secured, will, in all pro- bability, have to be abandoned as beyoud the reach of the detectives and the Superintendent of the Metropoiitan Police force, A weeting was held last night in the Calvary Bap- tist church, West Twenty-third street, near Fifth avenue, jor the purpose of advocating the necessity of the establishment of a home for the aged and in- rm of the denomination. The church was wei! filled, and the pastor presided, After the singing of the hymn, “Work, for the Night is Coming,” and prayer, the Kev. J. 8. liolme delivered an ad- dress, in which he advocated in very forcible terms the object for which the meeting had been called. He deemed it essontiaily necessary that the Baptist denommation should’ provide ‘sume place for its aged aud infirm members, ana hoped that the Master would lead persons to con- tribute the money necessary to establish and sup- port stich an institution. The Rev. Nathan Bishop foliowed Mr. Holme in an earnest appeal for funds. it was impossible to do anything without money, and he was glad to be informed that $5,000 had already been promised. It was his hope that as much again would be promised before the meeting broke up, although he knew the work would go on whether or not. The Rev. Mr. Doliing also ad dressed the meeting, enlarging upon the necessity for the Baptist denomination to have eoiue piace for its aged and infirm members. A collection was taken up, aud alter singing a hymy the meetug ad- journed, NEW JERSEY. Jersey City. ArRocrous ASSaULT.—William Connerty was ar- rested by constable Burns yesterday morning on the charge of having attacked Michael Drummond, whom, it is alleged, he knocked down, beat and kicked in the face till his victim had become uncon- scious, and it was feared the case would prove fatai. The interference of several neighbors saved Drum- mond from being entirely despatched. The dispute arose about the payment of mouey. Connerty was taken before Justice Allen, who held bim to bail for tr RuManism of this type is becoming common to ap alarming extent in Jersey City, Tue Coopers’ STRIKE.—The Coopers’ Union held A meeting last evening to consider the issue between the workmen and the bosses, It was represented that the barrel for which a dollar is demanded by the coopers selis for $2 25, and this price leaves a sufficient margin to the bosses without curtailing the wages of the workmen. Mr. McWahon, on the other hand, states that the men for some time past have been V4 one dollar each for barrels until last Saturday night, when for good reasons he asked for @ reduction of five ceuts; bat this demand was spurned by the men, who express their determina. tion to hold out for the dollar rau WAR ON THE Hons® RatLroaps.—The Common Counct! convened on Wednesday night at the call of Mayor O'Neill to take action tn reference to the en- croachments upon Pavonia avenue by the horse railroad companies, who are about to lay more tracks there, A resolution was adopted tusiructing the Corporation Attorney to commence proceedings against the companies and sue out an injunction if necessary. The source of the troubie is that under the charter of the Legisiature the railroad com- panies can construct and maintain their roads with- out requiring permission from the Common Coun- ci, The Jersey City and Bergen Railroad Company has become @ daugerous motfopoly, while the Ho- boken Raliroad, under the new imanagement, is simply @ nuisance, Hoboken. STRERT ASSESSMENTS—ACTION oO” TH SUPREME Covunt.—At the meeting of the Common Council on Wednesday night an order from the Supreme Court was read setting aside assessments levied on pro- perty in certain streets of Hob ken as being dispro- portionate, and directing the Council to appoint com- misstoners Who Will make @ just and equitable as sessment and who shali submit their report of said Jovy to the Supreme Court, This proceeding 1# simi- lar to that adopted in the Grand avenue extension at Hodson City, Newark. Fi#:.—Ward's extensive iron foundry, on South Market street, near the gas works, caught fire abou: half-past nine o'clock last evening and a large por- Hon was destroyed.
