has been aggravated, or rather encouraged, by a statement made some two weeks ago in the House of Commons by John Bright to the effect that he had a scheme of his own for the reform of the land tenure in Ireland which he intended soon to propound. John Bright's antecedents are so thoroughly and notoriously anti- aristocratic that the Irish people have taken heart and have come to the conclusion that the bill of Lord Clanricarde is a swindle. This it is which explains the scene in the Lords on Thursday evening. Earl Russell and Earl Derby equally blamed Mr. Bright and called upon the government to disavow his opinions. This the government refused to do. We are thus left to infer what the government means to do, to guess at Mr. Bright’s opinions and to regard it as doubtful whether it will be possible for the Quaker statesman to continue @ member of the Gladstone administration. John Bright evidently means to have his own way in some things. His own way is a little too go-ahead even for Mr. Gladstone. Unless the Quaker can be toned down a little it may be necessary for him to retire from the Glad- stone Ministry. His retirement will neither pacify Ireland nor make an end of the ery for . reform. Jobn Brightis a little bit of a quack ; but, like quacks generally, he has a large fol- lowing. General Dyer’s Case. The Military Court of Inquiry which assem- bled in Washington on the 9th of November last year. to investigate certain charges pre- ferred against Brigadier and Brevet Major General R. B. Dyer, Chief of Ordnance, for acts alleged to have been accomplished by him in that capacity, has reported the result of its labors, The members set out by refer- ring te their commission, and then recapitulate the accusations made against the General, as embraced in the report of a Joint Select Committee of Congress on Ordnance, sub- mitted to the Senate in July, 1868. The scrutiny of the court was searching, and the testimony evidently taken with careful precision, not only on every main point of the indictment, but on every clause thereof, as will be seen by our telegraph report this morning. An adverse finding on any one of them would have been fatal to the name and reputation of General Dyer, both as an officer and a gen- tleman. It is therefore gratifying to the public, ever anxious for the soldierly honor of the service, as it must be pleasing to the General and his friends, that it has been pro- mulgated in general orders from the War Department that ‘‘no further proceedings are necessary in the matter of the complaints.” The Court of Inquiry was dissolved yesterday by order of the President, complete justice being done to a gallant officer. Summer Americans in Europe. As the advent of summer marks the flight of the swallows towards regions where the sun makes the earth glad, so does that season summon thousands of Americans to Europe. For many years there has not been such an exodus of pleasure-seekers to the shores of the Old World as we shall see this year. The procession upon the watery pathway has com- menced already. Every steamship leaving this port carries a goodly number of travellers, and hundreds more are already booked for berths in steamers yet to sail. Europe will reap large advantages from this kind of emigration. A flood of gold—some portion of it hardly earned and some portion very easily— will pour in upon hotel keepers, railroad com- panies, milliners, tailors and dealers in curiosi- ties; so that all these classes, including guides, relic mongers, ciceronc, hackmen, buxom bar- maids and red-nosed hostlers will have reason to bless the prosperity of America and give hearty welcome to the roving part of the American nation. After all, this exodus to Europe is only a proper return for what Europe sends to us in the shape of emigration. The difference is that we send money to Europe to be lavishly squandered in a princely fashion, while she sends to us industry, capital and muscle, which we mean to use as permanent wealth for the development of our resources and to keep here for all time.

A Singular and Painfal Case of SnividemA Boston Printer Charged with Beastly Crimes Cuts His Throat with a Razor, Boston, May 18, 1869, The Bostonians were considerably agitated this morning at the rumors on the street that Alvin P, Rollins, an old and weil known job printer in the city, had committed suicide. The circumstances connected with his self-murder, especially those which are supposed to have driven him to the des- perate act, are very indevent in character, and have been the subject of much comment here during the Ped few days. In the middie of last woek he was ken into custody on the charge of having at- tempted an indecent assault upon a boy empioyed at the Parks House, but his trial was iH ‘Ul this morning, and he was admitted to bail in the sum of $%,000, During the mtervening time evi- dence had been ay to prove that for years he had been engaged in polluting the mind and morais of the youth with whom he had been brongnt in contact, and this knowledge, together with the ab. solute certainty that brs unnatural conduct would be publicly exposed In court, so worked upon his mind that he seems to have preferred death rather than be shunned and loathed by a community im which he had hitherto borne @ comparatively fair reputation, t about eight o’clock last evening he bid his part- ner in business good nizht, bat in a strange and ex. cited manner, remarking at the same time that he felt very much dejected, and that he probably would not be alive this morning. No particular attention ‘Was paid to the remark, however, and his partner ‘went home and left Rollins alone in the office, At about seven o'clock this mornmg, when the office ‘was opened for business, his dead body was founda lying. upon the floor, surrounded by a pool of blood, and his throat cut from ear to ear, Near by was # razor with which the deed was committed. His head was rechoing upon a cushion, Which he had taken from a chair, and the body was in an almost disrobed condition, his coat, vest, boots and white shirt having been carefully laid aside, The body was turned over toa Coroner; but the facts of his death were so transpa- an inquest was not deemed necessary. ‘the Geceased was about jorty years of age, unmarried, ‘fend had no relatives in this vicinity.

The Standard to-day, in an article on the Alabama Claims treaty, says:—'‘The idea of awaiting further expressions from Parliament and Congress commits the business to indefinite postponement. England’s sentiments have been clearly pronounced. She is still prepared to submit to a proper tribunal the question of wrongs and damages; but any attempt to reopen the controversy on preposterous grounds, whatever the American sentiment may be, is absurd. From this position England cannot recede.” IRELAND. An Lrish Archbishop on the Disturbed Condie tion of the Southern Districts. DUBLIN, May 18, 1869, The Archbishop of Cashel, the Rev. Dr. Patrick Leahy, in a pastoral letter, refers to the recent out- Tages commitied in the South of Ireland. He con- siders it lamentable that the acts of a few despera- does should tarnish the fame of Tipperary, and em- phatically denies the existence of an agrarian con- spiracy. The outrages, he says, were the result of the unhappy relations existing between landlord and tenant, and a settlement of the land question in Ireland would be sure to diminish the number of such unfortunate occurrences. The pastoral bids Gissatisfied tenants to look for hope to the imperial legislature, and points out the danger of estranging and disgusting England by the commission of such outrages as have recently been perpetrated.

The present break does not threaten to do so much damage as the previous one, the levee being some distance from the river's edge, and the water at the break being only Bix feet deep, though 160 yards wide; but from the high stage of the water tt will be dimcult, if not im- possibie, vo close it for some time to come.

THE PLAINS, Desperate Fight with Indian Prisoners at Fort Hayes—Battle with the Indians Twenty-Five Cheyennes and Three Soldiers Killed. CrIcaGo, May 18, 1869. The following military intelligence was received at General Sheridan’s headquarters to-day:—Lieu- tenants Mason and Carter, writing from Fort Hayes, Kansas, May 10, gives an account of the killing of some Indians who were confined at that point. The chiefs were ordered to remove, in charge of a guard, from the corral to the guard room, when they gathered in their tents, began the death whoop, and taking out their knives went for the soldiers. Cardigon attacked the sergeant of the guard and was knocked senseless by a@ blow with the butt of a musket. Salie, a ferocious squaw, wielding a kuife, tried to sheath it in the body of an oficer, when one of the guard shot her dead. Big Head looked with scorn on the circle of bayonets surrounding him, and stabbed Sergeant Hazen, dangerously wounding him in the back. One of the guard shot him dead.

The annual sermon was preached by Rev. George Dana Boondman, of Philadelphia. Rev. Dr. Price, delegate from Wales, and Rev. Mr. Henry, delegate from Ireland, made addresses—the former in relation to the hinderance of the Established Church had proved to the Christian work in Wales and the efforts that had been made and were making to abolish the system of government patronage that has hitherto been its princi =. Mr. Henry spoke of the interest taken by the Roman Catholics of Ireland in the propagation of their faith bs edu- cating priests for foreign work and contrivutiug to the support of secular educational institutions In furtherance of their belief, urging in conclusion the importance of more strenuous exertions on the part of the Protestant denominations to counterbalance the influence thus sent forth.

The Boston, Hartiord and Eric Railroad Ine vestigation Thomas Drew’s Testimony. . Boston, May 18, 1869, The Legistative Commuttee On the charges of éor- ruption by the corporation had another hearing this afternoon, when Thomas Drew, who was recently imprisoned, told his story relative to taking $10,000 from the President of the Hartford and Erie Rail- road. Drew said he did not know much about stock ——— but was told by parties to a ring of “bears” that they could make $25,000, Statements were written to be paid for and published in the New York papers, which he was assured was @ per- fectly legitimate transaction, and he was called a fool for being bought off, Statements were made by other parties reiative to lobbying movements, but they were on so smallascale as to be of no public interest. This ends the charge of corrupt in- uence on the Legisiature by corporations, THE POST OFFICE. Few changes have been inade in the Post Office Department of this city since the advent of General P. H. Jones as Postmaster. The General ts in no particular hurry to make changes just now. He has found the department left to him by Postmaster Kelly in very excellent working order, with all its machinery lubricated and few nuts or bolts out of place. General Jones, however, meui- tates increasing the force of letter car- riers, which at present is inadequate to at- tend properly to the multiplied city deliveries. Mr. Robbins, superintendent of station 0, resigned yesterday morning. No appointment has yet been made in his place. Stephen Myers, a famous colored engineer on the underground railroad in tbe dread ai of abolitionism, has been — door- rn keeper to the General's oitice. je has @ re- markable recollection of faces, and in this respect at least will make an excellent man for the post. have been recommended for their eMetency and or- thodox politics will be retained, Several vacancies exist in the ont corps of carriers, the nanies for Which will shortiy be sent to Washington. They are the only class of employés in this jee who need to be confirmed at the capital; but this, it seems, is own to the fact that they have to give bonds to the United States for the performance of their duties. The Postmaster was almost as much plagued yesterday by the ever rest- less awarm of office-seekers as the Collector at the Custom House, He worries little, however, Ait he can manage to get along to the end of his term in the same amiable mood in which he was yesterday, fairede his temper nor digestion will be much iin- aired.

Lacy) the Harlequin, and Little Ked Riding Hood (Miss A.

The ballet, which 18 led by Mile. Sangall, is one of the best at present upon the boards in this city, which is some- thing in its favor, but still there is in it much room for improvement. ‘ticcory Dic- cory Dock,” notwithstanding the drawbacks of 1ts first representation—and they were many—may be regarded as a success.

Mr. Fox, who is the author and stage manager at this house, should see to it next time that he does not imperil the fate of his “dumb” offsprings, and thereby his own fame, by trying to ican them to the public before they have been licked into pre- sentable shape through the medium of pres and sufficient rehearsais, — Another fault with the piece is the music. Its essentally a new pontomime set in old music, which considerably mars its elfects and pleasures, and should be remedied at once. ‘To-night it 1s expected that the piece will pass off more smoothly. ACADEMY OF Mvsic.—The fourth springtide Or- pheonist festival given here last evening was an in- comparably brilliant success—brilliant in the large and fashionable attendance, brilliant in the rare and diversified extent of the musical entertainment, and last and not least, brilliant in a pecuntary point of view. Most conclusive evidence was given that the public not only has become aware of the existence of Orpheon free schools, but that they justly appreciate the inestimable utility of the school instruction afforded by them and the high artistic merit achieved and on such occasions as last evening exhibited and witnessed with unbounded enthusiasm. Tue spacious stege, over which, in seml-circular form, appeared, tn bril- lant gas Characters, the word “Orpheon,’”’ was com- pact with the musical performers, consisting of the Orpheon free evening school for adults of both sexes, the Orpheou free afternoon school for ladies and x the Orpheon free choir boy school, the Orpheon Madrigal Club, the Orpheon Oratorio Society aud grand orchestra from the Philharmonic Society. r. Jerome Hop- kins was director of the festival and Mr. Cari Berg- mann conductor of the orchestra. The programme was lengthy, but its select variety and the fine sing- ing and splendid music by the orchestra served to relieve it of any approach to monotony, as well as Keep up in the vast audience the same unflagging interest and high pitch of enthusiasin to the close. Leading off the programme was a fourth movement of asymphony entitled ‘Tif,’ composed by Mr. Hop- kins and performed by the orchestra, It is aspirited composition and was admirably rendered. Next came ascena and aria, from “Il Trovatore,”’ suug by Mine. Dagron with artistic feeling and effect. A chorale followed, performed by the fuli chorus of Orpheon- ists and orchestra, with a delicious resonance of rare melody; then a song by Mr. George G. Rock- wood, the tenor, who warbies with the sweetness and softness almost of Brignoli; then the giee, with echo, “Hail, all Hau, thou Merry Month of May,” which the audience compelled to be sung over again; then @ soprano solo by Mme. Hess, who bas a voice of rare compass and flexibility; then a piano solo and waltz, with orchestral accompaniment, com- posed and performed by Mr. Hopkins, tumuituously applauded; then the vocal quartet, “My Love is like the ked, Red Kose,” by Mme. Hess, Miss Living- ston, Mr. Rockwood and Mr. Keith; then the chorus, “The Heavens are Teliing the Glory of God,” from “the Creation,” performed by the Orpheon Society; then a madrigal by the Orpheon Madrigal Club, sung “Alla capelia,” and, lastly, closing the first part, re- marks by Mr. Hopkins. His remarks were in a bigh Key, but highly appropriate as it was as an exposition of the utility of free orphan schools it was a relief when the mu- sical part of the programme was resumed. An eifort was made to put him down by stamps and hisses, but it was ineffectual. He had prepared his “say,” and would have it, and did have it. The audience had to accept ‘Hopkins’ choice.” This amuctive oratorical interlude oyer, the programme was tnally renewed, and ever}thing went on har- moniously to the end. Marches, chants, anthems, solos, quartets and choral performaaces made up the second part, which, if anytning, was better than the trst. 5 0 Musical and Theatrical Notes. The Brougham “omnibus” benefit—for, as per programme, it, like an omnibus, carries the “genial John” and everybody else of any account before the public—comes off to-day, on the “double-barrel’’ principle, and promises to be one of the dramatic events of the season. There will be two separate performences at two separate theatres, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening. The day performance will be given at Niblo’s Garden and the evening performance at the French theatre, Risley’s troupe of ‘Original Japanese” have for- saken the circus in Fourteenth street and are now located at the Stadt theatre, where they opened last night, Itisthe intention of the clever gymnastic “Japs,” during their short sojourn at this establish- ment, to show our still more clever gymnastic German citizens something new in the way of ground and lofty tumbling.

The hurdle race was rather a slow affatr, but the horses jumped very well at the pace they were going and arrived home safely without any accident to man or beast. Only two horse®yan in the hurdle race, although there were four entries, comprising a bay horse by Simon Kenton, Tycoon, Jack Armstrong and @erald, the two latter being withdrawn. Inthe dash race of a mile there were nine entries, eight of which came to the post, namely, bay colt Mitchell, chestnut mare Hira, chestnut horse Egotist, bay horse Morrissey, chest- nut mare Enchantress, a bay filly by Uncle Vic, a brown mare by Dick Cheatham, brown colt Onyx. The ninth entry, Oysterman, Jr., was withdrawn. There was a great deal of speculation on the proba- bilities of this race, it being the current opinion that one or the other of Mr. Littlefleid’s entries, Mitchell and Hira, would carry off the honors, and they were accordingly great favorites over the others, The general impression as to the success of Mr. Lit- tlefleld’s stable proved to be well founded, as Hira, with 121 pounds on her back, came home a very easy winner of the race. She seems to possess a great deal or speed and weight-carrying ability for a mare of her peculiar appearance, her general outlines of form being such as not to command the unqualified approbation of every connoisseur of horseflesh. But horses seem to run weil in all shapes, and their per- formances often confound the judgment of the most knowing adepts. She was ridden by the old jockey Gtipatrick, he who so ably rode Boston tn his great four mile race witn the renowned Fashion in 1842, and who has ridden more races than any jockey: in this country. He also rode x. B. Connolly in the mile heat race. The number of horses engaged in the dash race made it a very interesting affair to the spectators, as the horses clustered so closely together for three-quarters of a mule that it seemed almost impossible to select the win- her from among the group as they dashed away at headlong speed. But as they came into the home- stretch things presented a different aspect, for here Hira made such a sudden burst of speed that she went away like an arrow from the whole party and came in a winner by four or flve lengths. ‘The’ clos- ing event of the day, and by far the most important, was the mile heat race between Metairie and R. B, Connolly. Hgotist had been entered for this race, but having run in the previous one it was deemed prudent to withdraw him. As Connolly was known to be a horse of great speed and believed to ve in better condition than Metairie for a race of this kind opinions seemed to centre upon him as the winner, and he accordingly became the favorite at long odds, After he won the first heat the impression of his bemg able to win the race was more strongly confirmed, and the bettang in his favor ran still higher, until at length it was 100 to 10 upon him. ‘The resuit of the second heat, however, which was won by Metairte, had a tendency to dampen the ardor of the backers of Connolly and to excite the friends of Metairie, and they immediateiy offered to back the latter at evens, The qos in every heat was made from the tap ef the drum. In the first heat Connolly seemed to be able to leave Metairie whenever his rider thought proper to @o 80; but in the second heat tne tables were turned, as Connolly appeared to have enough of it after a struggle of halfa mile, and Metairie beat him easy. In the third heat Me- tairle took the lead at the start; Connolly was never able to reach him, and he won the race in gallant style, thus proving himself a repeater at tius dis- tance, We subjoin the detatls of the racing:— THE FIRST RACE. Herve Race—Purse $250; $200 to the first and $50 to the second horse; over eight hurdies, three feet s1X inches high, All horses to carry 140 pounds; winner of one hurdle race, seven pounds extra; two or more, fourteen pounds extra.

When it was known that Gerald and Jack A strong Would not start pool seliing was progres: with on the two others, Mr. Thompson’s bay horse and Tycoon. The selling was not large, the odds being in favor of the bay horse at about two to one. ‘This was, however, in the latter stage of the betting, the early or opening sales being at about one hundred to seventy on the bay horse. THE RACE. The bay horse took the lead and went over the first | hurdle in fine style, closely followed by Tycoon. Going around the turn the bay drew away a couple of lengths, but as he approached the second hurdle at the quarter pole Tycoon was close at his heels. The ‘went over first, and as Tycoon made the jump he strack the top rail and carried it over, clearing the way for the second round, The bay ran ahead down the backstretch, and at the third hurdle, which was near the half. mile pole, the bay horse took the hurdle cleverly, not dweiling @ moment after he landed. Not so, however, with Tycoon. When he jumped he seemed to atop for an instant after the jump, thereby losing ground, Going around the lower turn Tycoon quickened the pace, went in front ana came and took the sixth hurdie, which was at the drawgate, one length ahead of the bay horse. After jumping Tycoon again waited after the jump, and until the bay horse passed him, and led up the stretch and pene the stand a length ahead of him, At the ‘ifth hurdie the bay in going over touched the brush, but did not falcer, and, Ryan a soon opened @ gap of half a dozen lengths on Tycoon. The latter now began to show his want of condition, and he fel) off badly, the bay on moderately, taking the other hurdies at his leisure, and coming home a winner by fifty yards, making the two miles in the unusually slow time of 4:30, This was one of the most miserable hurdle races, in point of arene. that was ever witnessed on this course, or, perhaps, on any other in the country, rg WOND RACK. y dr entries — ch. m.

THE RACE. Mr. Walden’s brown mare was .off first (after a deal of trifing in front 7 nolly fetching in some of them as much_as two to one, and tn som? instances a3 as thrée to one. Alter he won the “ist heat the odds ran up on hun at such @ rate that ‘any persons laid one hundred to ten on the result, ‘ne layers of odds got a “stun- ner,” however, when Mctairie Won the second heat, and then even bettng was indulged in to large amounts, The backers of CUnolly lost largely. THE RACK, First Heat.—R, B. Connoliy, \¥tth, Gilpatrick on him, got the best of the start by a Jengil, but as oy Went on to the turn Metairie was at his side, and they ran head and head to the qu.M'ter poie. Hennessey, the rider of Metairie, was puiliag Gcavily at the time. Connolly was a neck in front y io ment, but again Metairie collared him, and they re gide and side to the hatt-muile pole. Going along lower turn Metairie showed in front, and was a ahead at the three-quarter pole. Gipatrick, waca he came on tne homestretch, gave Connoily his head, and he s00n went to the tront, and came home au #agy winner by a length, making the beat in 1:50. Heat.—One hundred to ten was offered om Co, nolly, and taken in a few instances. The horses had » fine send-ot, Metairie with a little the bes! of it, but they were head and head on she turn, As they approached the quarter poie Metairie snowed nis head in front, and as they passed that pomt he was aneck suead, Tuey ran in tls way down une back- strech without the slightest change, unui near the half-mile pole, when Connolly suddeuly dropped back, and Metairie passed that point a tength and a half ahead, Going around the lower turn the horses were nose and ta—Metairle under a pull. Tey came inte-the homestretch in this way, and Gilpat- rick was seen busy with his feet at the sides of Con. nolly, Who appeared to show evidence of quitung. Gil plugged tim all the Way up; bat it was of litile use, a8 Metairie was rumning steadily, and weil in hand, and he came to the score a wWinuer by two lengths and a half, making the heat in 1:50 ‘the result of the heat upon the layers of jong Bet them in motion to hedge their bets and save as inuca as possible from what they considered the wi they offered Metairie at even against the other, Third Heat.—Beiore the start the betting had become nearly even, Connolly Raving the call at slight odds in a few instances, as he seemed to have ad over the fatigue of the previous heat better than etairie. There was great excitement in reyaid to the result, The horses dashed away at a rapid rate, Metairie soon going to the rront and leading twor Jengths around the turn, and they kept in this way pe the quarter pole and part of the way down the kstretch. As tuey approached the hal/-mile poie Metairie opened the gap to two lengths and a hati, but as they passed the pole he ied two lengtis ouly. Connolly was urged along the lower turn, aud gained on Metairie until he reached his tail. When they came into the homestretch there was no daylight between them. Gil was seen giving Connolly we spur, which he continued to apply to the horse until he saw that lis chances were eutirely gone. Me- taine came home a winner by two lengths, making the heat in 1:50. And thus ended the urst day oi tae Paterson race meeting. There wiil be three races to-day—the first a steeple chase, which has tree entries, the second the Passaic oor es which there are six, and @ selling rac,e which three entries, and, from the character of the flelds, good sport may be looked for.
