a The Intter, being all traders, are found to look only to their profits, while the hard work in the fleld of glory is left to the new comers, From the picture presented by our Havana correspondent the future is not promising for the Spanish partyin Cuba. It is now eight months since the revolution first raised its head, and in this time it has spread over fully one-half of tho island. In no one district where a rising has been made have the Span- iards been able to restore order, although the great advantages of a powerful army and navy, abundant resources, enthusiastic volunteers and an organized government on their side have been opposed only by a few ill-armed country bands, without organization or gov- ernment, or arsenals or ships, or resources of any kind other than those .provided by the most determined spirit of resistance. The rainy season has now commenced, when the roads of the country are converted into deep sloughs and transit is almost impos- sible. We may therefore look for little change in the relative military positions of the parties. The diplomatic and argumentative campaign, however, is just opening, and from the devel- opmenta in public opinion and political pur- poses which are beginning to appear in this country, in Cuba and in Spain, we shall not he surprised to see a remarkable change of front ia the Cuban question before the next campaign opens in that island. The Quaker City Mucddic. Whenever Spain gets into any trouble with her dissatisfied colonists the first step of the Spanish officials is to send a few thousand dol- lnrs to Now York as a detective fund to find out what the American sympathizers with the Cuban malcontents are doing. Nosooner does the gleam of the Spaniard’s gold irradiate the detective vision than information and know- ledge of vast proportions flow in upon the Spanish official. Conspiracies, treasons, pirati- cal expeditions and filibuster operations of a magnitude proportioned to the amount of pay fortheoming for the information fill the air around him, and, passing through the alembic of his imagination, are poured into the ears of the Cabinet at Washington and the government in Cuba. We have no doubt the Spanish spies earn their money, if not with facis, at least with the fruits of a fervid and gold stimulated poetic vein which serve every purpose that facts would serve. This seems to be the case just now with the steamship Quaker City, which government has been watching for a month past with all the vigilance of a cat over @ mouse hole, and which in @ moment ef pro-Spanish enthusiasm it has at last pounced upon. A showing of the facts by the British Minister satisfied even our slow and timid Secretary of State that a muddle was before him, but with wonderful wisdom he con- sulted with the Treasury Commander, and then both together jumped into it. Rising from the unexpected situation, it is gravely announced that as they have put their feet in it they willlet the courts get them out. The case is a pertinent example of the injustice which, under the fallacy of complying with our feutrality laws, can be so wantonly inflicted on the citizen, The owner must go to law and spend a quarter, a half, or it may be the whole of his property in question to prove that the government has got intoa muddle, and then whistle for justice, We advise Secretaries Fish and Boutwell to look before they leap next time. Tur Frenoa Exxections.—It appears from our cable despatches that while the govern- ment has been victorious at the ballot box the opposition has taken a shape in France which may yet prove annoying to the Emperor, if not destructive of his dynasty. Everywhere, it seems, the candidates of the Orleanists, legitimists and moderate republicans have been beaten. This shows that for the time, at least, the factions have merged their differ- ences and combined for a common purpose. ‘When opposition to any government takes this shape it is time for the government to look out, It was the policy of the uncle to divide the forces of the enemy on the field of battle and then crush them in detail. It has been the policy of the nephew to keep alive the factions, and by means of division to make the opposition powerless. If the factions have mastered these taclics and agreed to act to- gether we may expect to see in the new Chamber more alarming divisions. It is a new movement, and it will be interesting to watch its progress. Bogland on the Alabama Case—iitect of the War Aspect. The determined purpose of the American people to exact from England reparation, as completo aa it can be made, for the injury and Josses inflicted on our commerce by the pirate Alabama during @ moment of almost deadly national peril, has in its latest expression evidently set Sohn Bull a thinking seriously on the subject. Minister Motley’s arrival in London, where no doubt the general tenor of his instructions on the matter was already vory woll known, appears to have aided the British cogitation vastly; #0 much so, indeed, that John appears to have arrived at the very fogical conclusion that the bill must be dis- sharged or war—a war of irreparable damage to his interests and final between the two nations—may ensue. Looking to such an eventnality the parties most deeply interested In ita cause and probable consequences—the Menara, Laird, the tory aristocracy and the working classes of Brilain—come out in tho words of defence, recrimination, legal Yechnioalities and general alarm reported in our special cable telegram from London this morning. Influenced by the conservatiam of trade and cash capital, with the dread of fa- ture losses, Messrs, Laird print a letter in the Foglish journals in which they directly charge that tho executive of the day in London, and, by constitutional inheritance the government of to-day, is alone to blame in the matter; What the operations of the Confederate agents for the building, arming and manning of the Alabama were well known to the members of the Cabinet by public rumor and official re- port, and that it was obviously the duty of the government to have prevented her leaving port. Thivis the most intelligent testimony which wo have yet had on the subject, and it te to be hoped that as testimony of the Lairds ' ft will not be forgotton NEW YUKK HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1860—TRIPLE SHEET. trusted with the observance of incemnational obligations and law. Commenting on the avermont and argument of the Lairds, the London Standard, an orgaa of the aristocrats, acknowledges that the builders are innocent, morally and legally, and “that it is not clear that the law of nations was not violated.” The London Star, which speaks for John Bright and his supporters, proclaims that Laird’s letter ‘‘aggravates the case against the British government,” and goes on to show that the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment act were knowingly set at naught in the instance of the Alabama, This complexion of the case is very pleasing. In the event of war with the United States tho aristocracy of England will be swept away a3 a class, the working classes burdened with a still more ruinous amount of taxation, and the shipbuilding firm of Messrs, Laird perhaps disappear. Tho Alabama claims bill will be paid in view of such contingencies. ‘Thomas? Concerts at Central Park Gardon. To those who prefer or are obliged to spend the summer in the city Mr. Thomas presents a rare feast of enjoyment at Central Park Garden, Four years ago he Inaugurated his summer concerts at Terrace Gurden, and his undertaking was then considered by many the height of rashness, as it involved no little risk and expense to engage such a large and well appointed orchestra for the summer months when all the fashionable patrons of music are supposed to be out of town. The success of the first and second seasons was such that it necessitated on Mr. Thomas’ part a removal toa more central location and more extensive quarters. Hence the beautiful garden In which those concerts now take place, with its splendid hall and adjoining building, was opened last summer. Audiences of.nearly three thousand people have again necessitated a new hall, which will be completed next month. The arrangements of the present hall and garden, under the direction of Messrs, Gosche & Schindler, will compare favorably with those of any summer garden even in Germany, the home of music. The character of the audience is also remarkable for popular summer con- certs. Fashion is by no means the exception, but more general than at many of our leading theatres. The orchestra has been considerably enlarged this season, and they are now a unit in precision of playing, grandeur or tenderness of expression, and in accordance with the ideas of the composer. It is worth a month at a fashionable watering place to visit Central Park Garden in the evening and listen to the strains of Mendels- sohn, Strauss, Beethoven, Rossini and other eminent composers, The programmes are always of a high order of music, no trash or sensational nonsense being permitted to appear on them. In this particular Mr. Thomas has earned the gratitude of every true musician by steadily refusing to countenance the trash which burlesque and London concert saloon singers have brought here under the name of music. The public are always sure to recognize merit sooner or later, and to rebuke aught that savors of humbug in art, Hence, doubtless, the great success which has attended the Central Park Garden concerts, and which is still on the increase. No better entertainment could be suggested for the public of the metropolis during the dog days. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. Brougham closes a two weeks’ successfal engage- ment at tne Park theatre, Brooklyn, to-morrow night. nis will, probably, be Mr. Brougham’s last appearance on the stage in this section of the coun- try prior to his departure for California, which takes place about the 10th of June, With the production to-morrow evening of ye ancient mariner, ‘‘Sinbad,”’ at Niblo’s, a new fea- ture will be introduced to the play-goers of this metropolis, in the shape of a company of grotesque dancers from Europe, known as the “Clodoche troupe.’ They are sald to be one of the greatest novelties of the moderh stage, and have performed with much success both in London and Paris, It remains to be seen, however, whether or not their grotesque wriggics will prove as acceptable to an American audience as to a Cockney and Parisian ne. orto-morrow afternoon Manager Tayleure, of the Grand Opera House, will restore the original situa- tions of the drama of “Patrie,"" which were trans- posed to meet—as was supposed—the requirements of our stage. Under the original and much stronger arrangement of M.

The season will last but for two weeks, and will be inaugarated with “La Vie Paris- tenne,” and will be followed by Hervé’s great opera of “Chilperic,” which has never yet been given in this country, Mr, Grau’s troupe of opera bouffers ciosed last night in Detroit, and will arrive i this city to-morrow morning. After the termination of the season at the Theatre Frangais ull the principal artists will take their departure for Europe. BASE BALL KOTES.

Tho Alabama Case—Lettor from the Lairde= A Bnd Case Against the British Governs ment—Comments of the London Standard and Star, LONDON, May 27, 1369, Under date of May 27 tho Messrs, Latrd, builders of the Alabama, publish a curious letter in the English papers, attempting to vindicate their own character in the affair, ‘hey claim that the butid- ing of the vessel was done in the way of business, and free of concealmont; that it waa known to the government and the public, and with the knowledge of the American Minister. That the vessel was meant for war purposes and intended for the use of the Confederate government was notorious. No haste or secrecy was observed in any of the opera- tions, Had there been anything tlegal in the building or fitting out of the ship, ample time and opportu- nity extated for the government to seize her, When the officers of the Custom House were informed, on the 2ist of July, that she was ready for sea and might leave at any hour she pleased, no attempt was made to detain her, though Passmore and others made aMdavits that men were enlisted to serve on board her. They take the ground that the contract entered into for tbe building of the ship was not at variance with the laws of England, the opinion of the English people or the practice of foreign na- tiong. They quote the written apinions of Mr. Mel- lish, Q. C.; Mr. Kempiay and Sir Hugh Cairns, of February, 1863, which they aliege support their posi- tion and go to show that the Alabama left Birken- head unarmed, and went to the Azores, to which men and arms had been sent from otner parts. The London Standard, a tory organ, commenting on the statement of Messrs, Laird says they were morally and legally innocent. It ia not clear that the law of nations waa not violated by other parties or even by the'government, ‘hero is a ciear charge of negligence. The Contederate agents sent tho Ala- bama’s armament away separately, but to a common rendezvous; but she was manned and armed from the shores of Engiand. Whatever Engiand’s offence may have been it is outdone one hundred fold by the wifal and wanton offences of the United States against England, and any settlement will leave heavy balance against the States. England's obll- gations were broken for the North as well as the South. The Americans were equally guilty of a breach of international obligations in the case of the Caroline and in the case of tho Fenian drillings and organization. The London Sar (Bright’s paper) thinks that Laird’s letter aggravates the action of the yBritish government. Besides the general obligation of the government to prevent all risk from the issuing forth of the Alabama, the ship was known as des- tined to prey on American commerce. Further obll- gations are raised by the facts that the Alabama was built and pierced for guna and to accommodate a war crew—facts reported by the British Custom House officers, as also that she was really intepded for war purposes, This knowledge obviously de- volved upon the government the duty of making the Foreign Enlistment act go as far as possible in the case, There 1s good reason to suspect thatthe act would have gone far enough if a hearty effort had been made to stretch its provisions honestly and ex- tend its purpose to the case, More Orkticisms of the London Pross on the Alabama Cloims. Lonpon, May 27, 1869, ‘The Alabama claims still form the great theme of conversation and newspaper comment. The Times to-day has an article on the commu nications of Sir Francis Head, which have recently been published here, respecting the case of the ship Caroline and the course of the United States towards Canada dur- mg the patriot war. The Times says that Senator Sumner’s assertions of England's hostility to America fs met by the testimony of American officials, Abuses much more flagrant have occurred within the frontier of the United States; for the popular feeling of the State of New York was ad- mitted to have more than countenanced the Fenian expeditions to Canada. The American press expose Mr. Sumner’s inconsistency by historical tests and point out his perversion of facts. ‘The Mesers. Laird, of Birkenhead, who built the Alabama, have recently published a letter giving legal opinions and extracts from documents and speeches to prove that the building of the Alabama ‘was not illegal. This letter has been extensively copied and is thus commented on by the papers to- day The Post (conservative) says the vindication of the Messrs. Larid is complete, The law was inadequate to prevent the transaction. The remedy lay with the legislature and not with the executive. The Standard (conservative) saya that Messrs. Lairds’ vindication condemns the government. The inadequacy of the law is an insufficient excuse for a breach of international obligations. Tho Ainbama Claims to be Shortiy Laid Be- fore Pariiame: Lonpox, May 1869, In the House of Commons this evening Mr. Otway, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in reply to a question, stated that the papers in the case of the Alabama claims would shortly be laid upon the table, Statement of the Bank of Gaginnd.

The Schoeppe Murder Trial at Carlisie. CARLISLE, May 1389. The prosecution have already occupied three days anda half in the Schoeppe murder trial, and have bat one more witness to examine. The direct testl- mony of persons who were present during the illness of Miss Stéennecke goes to show that she died trom ‘no natural cause, but mast havo died from some vio- lent dose, either taken by herself or administered to her by the prisoner. Dr. Conrad, of the Baltimore Infirmary, testified that he made a post mortem ex- amination, and that the healthy condition of her organs proved that she died from a violent cause, Professor Aiken, of the Maryland University, testified that he analyzed the stomach and intestines of the deceased, twelve or thirteen days after death, and found faint but unequivocal traces of prussic acid. Dr. Herman, of this place, who attended the deceased during her iiinoss, testified that in his opinion her condition indicated that she died from compound prussic acid and morphia. Dr. Kieffer and others testified, in answer to a hypothetical cage presented to them, that she died from no natural cause, Op- portunity and motive are clearly proven, and the question rests upon the sufficiency of mectical testt- mony on this subject. The counsel for the defence teol very hopefal, Oue of the strongest grounds in Proving the motive was the juction of a will, dated and executed a very short time previous to her death, which bequeaths het entire estate to the prisoner. Ie and his father were the only sub- acribing witnesses to the will, ‘The New Resistry. Law.
