NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAY 2, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. contained among other the following errors:—‘‘That the Church has no right to use compulsion and temporal power; that it is useless, in our time, to regard the Catholic religion as the only State religion, to the exclusion of every other worship; that the law is right which in some Catholic countries allows foreign residents the enjoyment of their own worship; that the Pope might and ought to put himself in accord with progress, liberal- ism and modern civilization.” All these were set down as errors and all these were solemnly condemned. This was the programme in 1864, This is the programme in 1869, In the spirit of the Encyclical the Council will meet and proceed to business if the Pope and his imme- diate advisers have their way. How far the liberal-minded men of the Catholic world, men like Del’Ariége, Montalembert, the Archbishop of Paris and others in all lands, will yield them- selves up to this reactionary and medimval tyranny is the great difficulty which at present lies in the way of the Pope and his Council. It will not be wonderful if, in spite of the once promising aspect of things, the words of De Maistre be found to be strictly correct. Fifty years ago he wrote :—‘‘In modern times, since the civilized universe has been minced by so many sovereignties and immensely en- larged by our hardy navigators, an Ecumeni- cal Council has become a chimera.” One thing it is at least safe to say: if Rome will not have modern civilization modern civiliza- tion will have Rome. A little more steam and @ touch of electricity would do no harm to the Chair of St. Peter. to the aubject, and it is to be hoped that both he and Congreas will lose no opportunity of extending American trade and influence over the rich countries on the other side of the Pacific. The Fashions, The Paris fashions letter which we publish to-day, with its panoramic picture of demi- saison toilets at the Sunday races in the Bois de Boulogne, the green robe of the Queen of Spain, and the novelties in costume exhibited at the reception of Mlle. Nilsson, the queen of song, atthe Monday receptions of the Empress Eugénie, and at thé receptions of Princess Mathilde, begins with an allusion to “the heat, sun and dust with which all were afllicted” at the Bois de Boulogne races. Fortunately, our New York belles can now escape ‘heat, sun and dust” in the shady and labyrinthine drives of the Park and amid the cool, green beauty of Jerome Park. In both these leafy retreats of fashion the latest styles may be displayed with more comfort and to better advantage than they used to be among the ugly and dangerous obstructions of dusty and crowded Broadway. On Sundays also, at Grace church and at other fashionably frequented temples of our Vanity Fair, as well as, after church hours, along Fifth avenue and Madison avenue, Miss*Flora McFlimsey and her rivals have opportunities, which they by no means neglect, of displaying the same costly and elegant toilets exhibited by them at the Saturday matinées of the various theatres, Formerly the public display of feminine fashions was chiefly made at the Academy of Music, in those old days when many who knew little and cared less about the differences between soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor and baritone, nevertheless deemed it the proper thing to join in gorgeous array the kid-gloved multitude who applauded transatlantic celebri- ties of higher or lower degree. Now that Italian opera is extinct, fashion seeks, as we have inti- mated, other fields for public display, in the Park, at the races in Jerome Park, at the Saturday matinées, along Fifth avénue and Madison avenue and at the churches, each of which it converts, as it were, into a tulip gar- den. A certain “loudness” of color is the main indication of a faulty taste on the part of American élégantes. It may be that our bril- liant skies at once provoke and, perhaps, justify what seem to an European eye exaggerated hues. But if our ladies shall learn to mode- rate their fondness for dazzling colors and to show in regard to the color of a dress as much taste and independence as they have already shown in regard to its cut, modifying foreign styles to suit American ideas, New York may yet rival Paris in dictating to the world of fash- ion. As it is, electricity and steam have anni- hilated distance and time to such a degree that the latest novelties appear simultaneously here and in the French capital. Real Estate and Real Estate Operations in New York. Real estate speculations in New York have culminated, and a fall of price from ten to fifteen per cent has taken place within a short time. Every one had been making haste to get rich by speculations in this kind of pro- perty, and particularly in lots on which build- ings had yet to be erected. The prospective value of these from the opening of new ave- nues and streets or from other improvements -was represented as surprising. Houses and stores in any eligible and improving part of the city increased in nominal value from fifty toa hundred per cent, and in some cases to several hundred per cent. There has been a mania really in real estate operations. It has been a fever of excitement like that which takes place when any new and rich mineral region is dis- covered, like the railroad fever at one time and similar to that of the petroleum or oil wells furor a few years, ago. These excitements occur periodically. As soon as one reaches the climax and people begin to find out that they have been victimized by the bubble it dies out and another one in some new field rises and follows the same course. Sometimes speculations in the same thing occur after a * period of years and a new generation become the operators. There was, for example, a similar real estate speculative excitement in New York in 1836 to that we have just been witnessing. Buying and selling property at such times are transactions on paper mostly. Not ten per cent of the assumed or declared value is paid or receivéd in cash. Men possessing only a few thousands of dollars capital operate to an amount of hundreds of thousands or mil- lions. Property passes through the hands of three or four persons nominally, and not a tenth of the recorded money value is paid or upon whom forged checks are passed are more anxious not to lose the money than to punish the offenders, there are apt to be queer results in court. It would be difficult on any other thought to explain the present position of the parties in the Jay Cooke forgeries. The bank maintains that the checks are genuine and thus insists on holding Jay Cooke & Co. its debtors, and of course does not join in the action against the torger ; but all the parties whose names appear on the Forarry.—If they received. In fact, it isa grand bubble, | checks declare the signatures not genuine, which must burst as soon as the Mi cea i eae ais deast pressure comes, As soon as a ik, GLADSTONE'S ASSURANCE. —The English Premier, in the general English Alabama ex- citement, ‘‘professed to have good assurance from reliable quarters that the recent rejection of the treaty by the American Legislature was purely a political movement.” He probably had this assurance from old Reverdy, whose benevolence could not resist the temptation to give the last little comfort in his power to the people who had done the dinner business with such sumptuous freedom. few operators get in a tight place they fall and the rest follow as bricks in a row tumble down one after the other. We have frequently ‘warned these men and their victims of the inevitable consequences of what must soon come, and now that real estate begins to decline toward its natural level, they cry out against the Heratp. We were only perform- ing a duty to the public by telling the truth, yet the Heratp is charged with causing what their own folly and speculations have brought about. We speak here particularly of real estate in New York, though there has been a similar unreasonable inflation of prices in other places. Staten Island, perhaps, has been an exception, for though real estate has been going up there lately it was too low before relatively to the price here and in the surrounding neighborhoods. There is a pros- pect now, however, of more equal and reason- able values being established; for the bubble has begun to burst, and we recommend all who are engaged in real estate operations to pre- pare for the change. HORSE NOTES. The excitement relative to the great trotting con- test wo-morrow between Lady Thorn and American Girl at the Fashion Course becomes daily more in- tensified, and specuiation is running riot on the resuit. Lady Thorn still continues to be the favorite at long odds, the prestige of the name of the Queen of the Turf being @ tower of strength, and she ts looked upon as almost invincible by her admirers. The trotting stallion Commodore Vanderbilt is represented by Morgan L. Mott to be in fine condi- tion this spring. He has been withdrawn from the track for the present, but as autumn approaches he will be putin preparation for any great event that may offer itself to the favorable consideration of his owner. Should an atiractive purse be offered by any of the associations in the country exclusively for stallions, which ought to be done, Commodore Vanderbilt will be certain to be one of the entries. An impromptu trot took place at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds last week between Colonel George C. Hali’s team and Mr. W. Parkes’ roan gelding Red Jacket. The race was half a mile and was won by Colonel Hall’s team, they beating Red Jacket nearly 200 yards. The team trotted the first quarter in thirty-six anc alf seconds and the half mile ta 1:184y, jogging in, Coionel Hail has owned this team for some years, and but few persona were aware of their high rate of speed. One of them is a daughter of old Black Bashaw and is now about sixteen years old; the other the once well-kaown iding Joe Lamont, who, it wiil be remem- bered, beat the famous Lady Suffolk at the Union Course. Like his mate, he is somewhat stricken in years; but their gait and action do not betray their age, as they are both free from biemish of any kind and likely to continue serviceable for some time to come.

THE NEW YORK HERALD IN KENTUCKY. {From the Paducah (Ky.) Daily Kentuckian, April 24.) The New York HERALD, acknowledged toe a head and shoulders above any other paper in this country, or in the world, in enterprise and fairness, is filled each Monday morning with synopses of sermons preached the day before in the principal cities of the Union and on all subjects, We have before us last Monday's issue and it contains reports of discourses of all Kinds and from preachers ot all denominations, The Protestants, Catholic, Mormons Aud Spiritualists all have a share of the space. THE NEW YORK HERALD IN OHI, [From the Piqua (Ohio) News, April 29.) We are daily in receipt of the New York Hgraup, certainly one of the most gigantic papers published. Aimost every issue isa quadruple sheet, completely filled with the latest news from all quarters of the globe, The Haran, by indefatigable industry and energy, has systematized its means of procuring the news as no other paper has ever done, Aa an in- stance of its enterp we give the fact that it owns a number of steamers and pilot boats whose busl- ness is to board every Vveaset coming tuto New York pert and obtain the ‘very latest.” No wonder, with he energy and enterprise tt displ that it has #0 large @ circulation and publishes so large a sheet, American Interests in Asia=The President Paying Attention to Them. It is reported from Washington that the President gave an hour’s audience to Mr. Cesare Moreno, the Asiatic traveller, for the purpose of hearing his views on the subject of American interests in Asia, Considering the pressure of business upon the President and the value of his time it is evident he deems this subject of no ordinary importance and that Mr. Moreno had valuable suggestions to make. Mr. Moreno was many years in Asia, travelled extensively there, and has studied the character and wants of the people, par- ticularly in connection with commercial objects and the development of American interests in the rich countries across the Pacific Ocean. He had impressed many of the leading public men of the country and in Congress with his views and now seems to have the ear of Gen- eral Grant. There is no doubt that the won- erful growth of California and other States on the Pacific, the completion of the Pacific Railroad, the rapidly developing trade with Asia and the grand future of the United States as a great commercial Power in that part of the world, call for attention and action on the part of our government in this new field for American enterprise, While we have no faith in vision- ary schemes of buying islands or countries thousands of miles away in another hemis- phere, except it be for naval stations, we think that any reasonable proposition from Mr. Moreno or ffom any one else to extend our influence and commerce on the Continent or islands of Asia should not be neglected. The Ume has come when a decided and progressive American policy with regard to that part of the world should be established. hero is nothing to hinder us, if we act wisely and take time by the forelock, from acquiring at no distant day © supremacy in commerce and influence in all that part of Asia facing or bordering tho Pacific ocean. It is gratifying to know that the President is paying attention TELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD The Anxiety in England Over Sena- tor Sumner’s Speech.

The Insurrection in Sinaloa—Palacio Defeats the Government Troops with Heavy Losa— Pronunciamiento in Durange—A Northwest- ern Confederacy in Prospect—Guerilla War- fare in Sinaloa, : San Francisco, April 30, 1869. The California and Mexico mail steamer Montana brings Mazatlan advices to the 20th of April. The insurgent Colonel Palacio, after leaving Culiacan, made his way to the town of Tutela, his force having increased to 400 men by recruits on the road. Gene- ral Dara was sent after him from Mazatlan, and from reports that have not been contra- dicted—though the government keeps every- thing quiet on the subject—an engagement occurred between the insurgents and the govern- ment troops, in which the latter lost 200 men, It 1s stated that General Dara’s force was crippled by de- sertion, The battle appears to have taken place at Tamazula, 110 miles east of Caliacan, in Sinaloa. In the State of Durango, Joaquin Contreras has pronounced in favor of Palacio, and, it is presumed, will join him immediately. If Palacio can sustain himself one month longer he will probably have 1,200 or 2,000 men, ana may succeed in establishing the long-desired Northwestern confederacy. * A guerilla chief named Cauze had captured the town of Osare and liberated the prisoners there, who enlisted under the robber, and they then captured the arms of the miners at the Lajo mines and levied a contribution of $3,000, Assistance was immediately sent trom Mazatlan, and the Foecillea, were surprised and dis- pee During the affray two foreigners were illed, one a German, the other a Swiss, neither of whom had taken part in the disturbance. pee Gonzales had escaped from prison in urango.

Sardou’s “Patrie,” produced from models and designs furnished by the author, will be the next attraction at the Grand Opera House. “Humpty Dumpts,”” notwitnstanding that his end 1s surely and swiftly approaching, still receives his friends with broad grins and fanciful contortions at the Olympic, where the “light fantastic’ Sangali takes her first and last benefit on the sth inst.

Tammany was always famous for its ground and lofty tumbling, but more recently for its aerial female gymnasts, {t has had its Senyahs and its “queen of the Air; but “Tony” the great Pastor of the Rue Bowerte, has also wisely determined that his flocks shall not languish for want of pertious sensations, and .o this end will introduce to his patrons to-morrow evening ‘‘The Empress of the Air,” @ handsome, daring female trapezist.

On Wednesday evening last, av the wind-up of the Broadway theatre, Mr. Florence appeared in the Toaring farce of “The Returned Volunteer.” At the Conclusion of the farce Mr. Florence was called 0¢- fore the curtain and spoke with much feeling, soue- what as follows:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :—You all know I do not often Speeches, but on this occasion—the last night of theatre—I should feel that I had neglected soy refrained from saying afew words.

Siew likewise engaged operatically in London. ‘ihere must be a mistake somewhere. Signorina Maria Cariiste (Miss Huntly), after a most successful debut at Berlin, has won cven greater laurels in Belgium, where she is as much praised lor her tragic acting as for ner musical talent. One of the musical journals of Paris makes a startling announcement’ with reference to a young American lady who is at present under the tu.tion of M. Wartel, the professor who enjoys the honor of having trained Mile, Nilsson, the first cantatrice of the day. The young lady 18 ‘escribed as fourteen ears and a half old and as having been introduced 0 M. Wartel by Mr. Benedict. She 1s named Vio- lette Colville. ‘Wartel,” says our contemporary, ‘speaks of her with the enthusiasm ofa true arii-t aid with the competent appreciation of a@ professor who theroughly understands that of which he speaks.” “It is a Malibran I shail produce,” he cries, “she has the sacred fire. She always overcomes me. She apprehends woo quickly. She has the most beauti- ful musical orgentte Tever met with in my life. I shall bring her out at eighteen. and I only ask Providence to bless me with life tillthen. In taree years we shall have a Malibran.’ ’’ Miss Violette Col- ville is, we believe, the niece and adopted daughter of Miss Mary Provost, who, during a brief career in London some years ago, left in the minds of piay- rs many brilliant and touching souvenirs. The fact that her protégé will enjoy the benefit of Miss Provost's histrionic skill and experience will in- crease the expectations which the debut of M. War- tel’s new pupil will excite. . ight.asa Returned my mite on the occasion of hese boards are endeared to fi Died.
