—— ELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD The British Parliament and the Irish Church. Arrest of a Catholic Prelate in Austria. The French Elections Yet Un- decided. AFFAIRS IN MEXICO. Senor Mariscal Confirmed as Minister to Washington.” ENGLAND. The Irish Church Question—Conflict Between the Lords and the Commove—Comments of the Press and Public Feeling. Lonpon, June 7, 1869. ‘The announced predetermination of the majority be House of Lords to reject the Insh Church bill caused intense excitement and threatens to pre- pan an eventually inevitable conflict between the rds and the Commons. It is rumored in some juarters that the announcement was only made to 1 the public pulse and to ascertain how far the louse of Lords dare go. It is the general im- on that the bill will be thrown out on the Gar reading. ® The Standard (tory) admits that the peril of the posed action is too obvious to be ignored even by e léast thoughtful or conscientous of the heredl- -y legislators, but says that the Lords have resolved, compliance with the urgent demands from tens and jundreds of thousands in every part of the country, risk all in a contest with the imperious Minister id an overbearing majority in the Commons. jould they be crushed in the struggle, not only Il the Church and the constitution fall with them, it the liberties of England will be sacrificed to the wendancy of that democratic principle which 1s e most dangereus foe to personal political freedom. it matters not whether those who approved regret e decision to give battle. There is nothing left r them to do but take their places in e ranks and fight for all they hold dearest, with jhe full certainty that everything is at stake. Let ie whole Protestant conservative power of the be exerted to give the Mouse of Lords such ‘Bupport by public opimon as to restrain the struggle ‘within the limits of the constitution and make te self-wilied, overbearing Minister, who at heart has ways been an enemy of the Lords, and likely is xasperated at his unexpected defeat, feel that there limits which he dare not transgresa, Already pis organs have threatened that what has transpired leserves impeachment, and it is necessary that he made to feel that he dare not execute a threat hich would not only be dealt at the Lords but at @ wealthy and resolute influential classes of Eng- id and Ireland, which form an actual majority in English nation. The Morning Post shows that the rejection of the {li will not prevent its ultimate passage, and dis- [ogi the idea that the Lords will refuse a second ading. The Star, in threatening language, says that the free Church must not cumber the ground after f mber and that the least said on that subject will prociaimed from the house tops. The House of ords 18 not a more logical, desirable or excusable 4nstitution than the Irish Church, ana in the fever §heat that will follow the rejection of the bill a heat ‘wil: be generated such as has not been seen since the pie of Birmingham threatened to march on London the name of reform, and cries will be heard calling yr the downfall of an obsolete Chamber, that no disguises its anachronism of existence by hereditary descent. The deference to popular will, ‘vhich the late Duke of Wellington once said ought ‘gever again to be withheld, with pure biindness, buzzards the misguided noblemen, who require to ‘be further convinced of the opinion of the country atlarge. It is not worth while to attempt a demon- @tration of that opinion. When the issue comes their lordships will probably wish they had been wise 10 ‘ume. ; The News states that the vote of the House of Lords can at the worst postpone for only a few Months the fate of the Irish Church, and the indirect effect will render it graver to raise the question. ‘The position that the House of Lords hoids in the constitution and its relations with the constituencies of the House of Commons and the executive powers ‘of the Crown are self-adjusting, and if a hitch occurs in the machinery it sets itself in order by its own action. The House of Lords stands outside of the system, guided by good sense, and fails only to be brought into harmony with the rest of tue constitution when the forcible obtrusion pat upon it by a number of its members, is suMctent to overbear the opinion of the original body. A biassed jury has to be packed to judge whether the second Cham- ber in doing its work on these conditions can be permanent on the part of the government. The Lords seem bent upon forcing public notice on the position of the Peers and threaten a revival of the pretensions, long since abandoned by it, of the old baronial attitude of its natural days, when the Com- mons were only allowed the bumble supplications of petitions ana did not in reality govern the country. The Telegraph in a moderate, timid article con- cludes that the voice of the country has spoken un- mistakably and finally, and if forced to speak again fts accents would be a resolve no longer to utter a free indignation or to preserve moderation, a mood Which to the last it would earnestly maintain, The Times says that on the eve of the coming crisis nothing since the throes which preceded the Passage of the Reform bill can be compared to the @onsequences which will attend the threatened Conduct of the Peers, and the result of the struggle 1s not at all doubtful. If the Lords succeeded at first they would be compelled to undergo a second ten- der of the measure already rejected. The first re- sults of this action will touch all interests, and Jeopardize not only themselves and thetr privileges, but algo the peace of the great towns and the main- tenance of law and order throughout the country. Above ail, they will do their best to provoke an out- ‘burst of passionate violence in an anbappy country, the vast majority of whose inhabitants they propose to outrage by @ contemptuous disregard of their wishes. As to the majority of the opposition, the Times draws the conclusion that the mem- bers have resolved to tntrench themscives in their own opinions and rely on their fan- ood power in disdain of the consequences to themselves. The nation would be rudeiy awakened from the delusion, and It cannot be doubt. ful which party will succeed In the contest, the Peers themselves or the nation. The only question will not be whether the power Which the Lords think they possess shall not be proved to be non-existent, Dut whether the power they can exercise will not be 0 irreparably broken as to vanish out of existence, Outside of the comments of the public press the people generally talk in a very revolutionary strain. ‘The probability is that the Lords will be alarmed Afto the passage of the bill; but the more fact of the Gnnouncemont of their inclination to use their power to defeat It evidently excites general discussion ad- verse to the continuation of hereditary legisiation. Lord Derby's Decision on the Irish Church Bili—Meeting of the Conservatives—Mr. Gladstone’s Proposed Determination in Case ot Rejection. Lonpon, June 7, 1860, 1p reply to 4 conservative deoutation to-day, Lard NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1969.—TRIPLE SHEET. Derby said he spoke as & unit in the House of Lords, not wishing to infuence the Tninds or fetter the action of others, While many friends of the Irisn Church wish to amend, not reject, the bill for its dis- Establishment, he was persuaded that rojection was the only course. He believed that the bill would be rejected by @ large majority. Such a course was eafest in such a revolutionary step. He felt satisfied it would receive the assent of the conservatives of the country, Who would continue to increase their support if the coercion of the Peers was attempted, A mecting of conservatives was held in Lon- don to-night. Resolutions were adopted con- demning the Irish Church bill. Itis understood that Mr. Gladstone proposes, in case the House of Lords reject the bill, to prorogue the present session of Parliamant immediately and inaugurate a new session. In order to insure the passage of the biil it 18 proposed to create a new baten of Peers, including the Marquis of Haruung- ton, Lord Amberley, the eldest sons of most of the Uberal Peers, and all the Scotch and Irish Peers now without seats in the House of Lords. i The Pall Mall Gazette regrets the bad effect the position the House of Lords have assumed will have on Ireland, particularly in regard to the land ques- tion. To rule, in the sense of deciding what the nation shall or shall not decide upon, is beyond the competence of the House of Lords or any other gov- erning body. Termination of a Prosecution Against Three Bank Directors, Lonbon, June 7, 1869. The prosecution against the bank directors, Messrs.

The balloting in the -cases of undecided elections is going on quietly in the different departments. The Election Excitement—Course Pursued Towards Opposition Candidates—Probable Course of the Government. Lonpon, June 7, 1869. Letters from Paris state thata strong pressure is brought to.bear in the undecided elections to prevent the return of opposition candi- dates, The contests between M.M. Thiers and Shee, and between M.M. Favre and Henri Rochefort, are regarded with much interest, The Emperor, it 1s asserted, views the probable election of M. Rochefort a3 a personal if not a deadly insult. ‘The ultimate results of the elections and their effect on the government are regarded with great curi- osity. The government is fully alive to the heavi- ness of the blow and the difficulties it will have to meet in the future. Its friends tender advice freely; but the only concession possible is a parliamentary government, which the Emperor regards wit par- ticular aversion. The government is inclined to do something as soon as possible, and with tne least in- convenience. If the balloting results in favor of Rochefort, the step will probably be taken immedi- ately.

Lecture: by Mr. Justin MeCarthy—The Claims Reviewed from an English Standpoint—An Honorable Settle- ment Prophesied—Johnson and Motley Contrasted. wa In pursuance of announcement Mr. Justin Mo- Carthy, editor of the London Morning Star, deliv- ered a lecture last evening at the Cooper Institute on England and the Alabama, It must have been concluded that Mr. McCarthy could throw no new ght on this well discussed subject, and that the evening could be better spent by even our most in- veterate lecture lovers from the fact that the attend- ance was very small, not even the benevolent object identified with the oceasion—the proceeds going to tne New York Hospital for Women and Childrea— attracting over two hundred of an audience. On the platform was Mr. Peter Cooper, Mr. Theo- dore Tilton and a few other gentlemen, and one or two ladies, A little after eight o'clock Mr. Theodore Tilton came forward to introduce the lecturer, He at- tributed the empty benches to the lateness of the season, remarking by paraphrasing the words of Socrates when addressing a small audience, that Plato was himself an audience—they were them- selves an audience, He then requested for Mr. McCarthy, who for the first time stood before an American audience, a hearty welcome. Mr. McCarthy then stood forward and was warmly applauded. He thought there might be some advan- tages from a few words spoken on this complicated question by one from England. He could only promise to make a plain statement. He had been actively engaged in Bnitish politics during the time the events took place from which this grave question arose. Although not an American le was ope of those English subjects who always took a deep and close interest in American affairs, and followed the cause of the Union with an unwavering, constant, aud, le had almost said, a passionate sympathy for the North. The question divided itself into two great questions. First, the Alabama claims, which arose out of the escape of the Alabama and her course as a pirate. Then, perhaps, the most difficult question was the question arising out of the wrongs supposed to have been inflictea by the English government when she conceded to the South belligerent rights. The latter question ts the one which naturally ought to come first. It came first im point of time, and, in the next place, Mr. Summer conteuds that 1t Involves the first. But the question of the Alabama was first, and on that point he wondered how about it there could be any dispuce. Inter- national law was a complex, dificult question. ‘The escape of the Alabama could ha sed, according to international law. fact that the vesse built’ of built man English dockyard, armed with English cannon, shot and shell, and manned by English seamen, Went so arqed into an left an English port for tae purpose of 1 on the peaceful commerce of a irtendly Power. This was the simple statement of the fact. It was con- tended on the part of England that the government could not, under all the circumstances of the case, prevent the escape of the Alavama. He (the lec- turer) was in England at the time and watched closely the whole course of events, and never heard till he came here that ' there ever existed a doubt in the minds of Englishmen f the purpose for which we pirate Alabama wus He did not belleve any man or woman that (uere was a war going on and as being buy rds? being built. who knew the English government “new the Alabama was being bail ngiish government was clally unfriend! the government of the United + Lord Russell would have preferred that the rth should win, Then there was the Duke of Argyie and other noble- men, though not holding any prominent positions all friendly to the United States, But the real heads of the government were positively indifferent as to the result of the war you were carrying oa. But as they were, they followed princtpally the lead of the society around them. The higher society of England was almost all in favor of the South. “All the clubs and all who visited the West #nd—almost every one who had any manner of reijation with the aristocracy, from the heads down to the very funkles that served them—all these were in favor of the South. Thea again every imfuential member of the government made it an article of nis faith that the South would succeed. They iooked upon the United States as disrupted; your business and commerce destroyed, and that’ for a long time you would be of very little value as afriond or an enemy, and they claimed to deal with you as they dealt about the same time with Brazil. Tuey felt tuey had no interest in trying to secure you justice in the con- test, and they preferred to allow ‘the contest to go on, leaving it to time to decide the question for or against. But here is the actual grievance tn the Ala- bama alfair:—That England and the English govern- ment knew from the first to the last what the Ala- bama was being built and fitted oat for; the govern- ment knew it had the power to stop the building of the vessel at any moment; to prevent its leaving the country; that with the slightest exer- cise of power they could have interposed to prevent ail the calamities that marked the career of the pirate vessel, and that they falied to do 80, but kuowingiy and deliberately aliowed her to go on her piratical way, as if the Whole matter were not worth & moment’s ‘consideration. Here (the lec- turer said) was the first and real grievance. Mr. Sumner, m his review of charges against England, tue English government and people, did them a great wrong When he said they threw their sympa- thies into the cause of slavery. Cobden, Bright, John Stuart Mill and Godwin Smyth, tn their sym- pathy for the cause of iit Unliéd States govern- ment, disproved tis. Charge of mrmpachy with siavery, apd disproved the idea that the Englisn people as & whole were opposed to the United States. The wechanica, artisans and manufacturing classes and the laboring classes—the great bulk of the Eng- lish people were in favor of freedom, opposed to the institutions of the South and tn favor of the North. The prospect of a satisfactory settlement of the ques- tion was growing brighter every day. The American people had only to wait a little while patientiy—to wait, not in a spirit of vengeance, but in a spirit of good will and confidence, fhe question is now aar- rowed down to ono point—that 1s, whether England will consent to arbitration on tle question of her recognition of the Sout as beliigerents. He thought England would do this when she gets ume wo think the matter over, from the question, and when her new light thrown upon thi people have returned to a leter temper and calmer frame of mind; even then, in respect to our claim to submit the question of beiligerency to arbitrati he had no doubt England will adimit the jus' it, When he ieft England the temper of the puolic mind was so far brought to that point that, lad it not been for the unhappy choice tion of our repres ¢, Mr. tion would be settled to-day. a joily sort of a Polontus, a lively, happy-go-lucky old fellow, who tdok all England by the hand and drank wine With every man and woman he met, saying to them, ‘We over the water there are in a happy mood; we will give up everything to you, and you, I Know, will give up everything to us, Never mind the odds."” These were the hopes held out to England at the very moment she expected to be called to@ sharp account. Just think of our joy on finding the very unexpected turn atfairs had taken. Then came the awakening from the fool’s paradise. Sumner's speech startied England from this happy delusion of a speedy settlement of the question on Johnson's basis. She was awakened like one from @ pleasant dream to the consciousness of impen ing danger. But all this will pass away. E: land was coming to a calmer mood, and will ere long accede to America ali that we can in honor or justice ask. Great changes had taken place in England since the outbreak of the war, The rogrese of democratic tdeas had swept over the fan within even the last ele rs. When the war broke out hardly one man of the working people, who had thrown ali their sympatiies with the North, had any direct power of infuencing the English government. None of them exercised the franchise. in England they had pow the Reform bill, which amounted in large cities to almost universal sulrage. The American peope had now o representative in England who would have great weight in induencing the English government to reconsider the question in @ juster aud fairer light. Mr. Motiey high in Eegiand, and his fame as a writer and stated- man was as highly sppreciated there as it was here, and the government could lave bardly sent a more hopeful messenger to arrange the question than our present representative. With Mr. Motley’a assist ance and the intervention of @ little more time he expected that a satisfactory and honorable arrange. ment of the question would be had, and he would beable to address bis Amorican brethren tn the words, “We hi hot an arrow o'er our Leads and hurt our broth Cd —— Mr.MoCarthy was enthusiastically applauded.

RowpyisM RAMPANT—OUTRAGE IN THE SIXTH Wakb.—The Recorder of Jersey City had his hands full yesterday and the court was crowded. The police made a most successful raid on the roughs in every quarter of the city during Sunday night and yesterday morning. Tue worst case wus that of @ gang beionging to the Sixth ward, the hotbed of ruf- fanism, who amused themselves by culling a col- ored man, and whea he resented the ill-treatment, the crowd ciamored for his iinwediate execution. Hereupon one of the gang procured a revolver and was about to pecome the executioner, when, fortu- nately for the colored man, two police oilicers a peared on the. scene. T'wo of the gang who were most conspicuous, ran off towards Tludson City, but =the oiticers outflanked them by jumping on a horse car and heading ‘them otf. They conveyed their prisoners ack, Dut When they arrived at the scene of the out- rage the crowd attacked the officers and rescued one of the prisoners, Severai officers soon came up, however, and the ringleaders of the gang were ar- 4 and taken to the police station. The follow- prisoners were committed for trial:—Jawes Farrelly, James Banker (who is charged with firing the revol- ver), Patrick Condon, John Bermingham, Patrick Tambiety, George Hughes and Thomas Ryan.

Newark, SERIOUS RAILROAD ACOIDENT.—At @ point near Waverly, on the the New Jersey Railroad, early yes- terday morning the insensible body of a young man, badly bruised and bleeding copiously, was dis- covered lying on the track, The “Owl train” brought him to this city, and he was conveyed to the new hospital of the Sisters of the #oor, corner of High aud Nesbitt streets, and properly cared for by the good Sisters. Later in the day be was identified as Michael Faulkner, a recent arrival in this country. He 1s about twenty years of age, and was in the em- ploy of of a Newark contractor named Cadden, It is believed that he jumped off a train on Sunday night at the place where he was found. Besides several cuts on the face and head severai of Lis mbs are broken. It 1s not thought possibie tuat he will live. SENATOR ‘PRAGUE IN NEW JERSEY. Serenade to “ Little Rhody” and “Pet” Hale sted at Newark Last Night. The long talked of, and, by many, anxiousiy oked for advent of Senator Sprague, of Rhode and, ta Newark, N. J., was the occasion of quite a demonstration in the latter city last evening. As has already been stated in the HERALD, the Senator’s visit was in response to a cordial and entuusiastic mvitation extended him by some nine labor organizatious of Newark, foremost among which were the harness makers. The serenade was aly d to take place at nine o'clock, in front of the residence of Mr. 0. B. Halsted—more widely known as ‘‘Pet” Halsted—located on the lower part of Broad street; but it was after ten o’clock before tue Senator arrived, the announcement of which was the occasion of immense cheering and the ut- most enthuslasm among the multitude thronging the broad plaza in front of Mr. Halsted’s residence, which was tastefully illuminated with Olinese lan- terns, To Oil up the interval Mr. Halsted made some characteristic remarks, in the course of which he took occasion to warmly thank the trades’ societies for the respect shown him in his own city. While Senator Sprague was partaking of some refresh- ment we bana struck up ‘Hail to the Chief,” Sub- sequently Mr. Halsted conducted the Senator to the bak where he (Mr, H.) spoke as follow: FELLOW CrrizeNs—I take great pleasure in pre- senting to you our guest and friend, the people's champion, Senator Sprague. (Cheers.) A detailed reierence to the man or lus doings at this time would be gratuitous and useless. By word and deed, on the battle fields, in the Senate Chamber, before the people, his record ts briiiantly illuminated, He 1s known 4nd read of all men. As Governor, a8 general, as Seuator, and last, though not least,’as the most prominent ‘and leading work- ing and business man of our day and generation, he as made his mark broad and deep from one end of the land to the other. Patriotic ud courageous, thoughtful and able, honest, seif- ig and persistent, he is terribly in earnest in great work set before him, and Ido assure you is neither crazy nor a blatant demagogue, a theo- retical dreamer or an ambitious poiltical fanatic. Full of brains and practical knowiedge and expe. rience, he bears the true impress and stamp of man- hood. He ts emplaticaiiy one of nature’s noblemen. {have known him tntimateiy for a long time, and estimating bim only his truc worth and value, | dare fr y, freely and fully commend him to your confidence and consideration. Hear him for his catse—it is your cause, my cause, the cause of the people and the nation. Senator Sprague, gentlemen. Senator SPRAGUE said:—My fellow citizens, you are trom New Jersey—I am from New England. I have, in presenting myself to you, no man’s inter- ests. Lam forthe people of this country for one reason, and that is that by and through the people of the bag Sol the pation is great. i have come from my home late to mect you, and to apologize for that lateness and for the shortness of my address here to-night, because on to-morrow i is my expectation to give you those utterances which [ believe is for your benefit and the benedlt of the jon. (Applause.) I stand here simply as the adyocate of those interests yuch will contribute to the nation’s advancement. I stall stand before you to-morrow in the advocacy of no special interest. Why do I stand before you or beiore any portion of the American people in the advocacy of peculiar views? I do so because I haye assumed the pre- rogative of a Senator of the United States volun- tarily. I have assumed high duties and obligations and I mean to discharge my duty regardless of con- sequence: irs connected there- with i have come to the conclusion that they are mismanaged, whether from negligence or not, still criminal. The great interests of this country are jeopardized ana { have concern to show the people Wherein thoy are so, It has been my fortune re- to travel over the greater portion of the South- and to chat with the Southern people. 1 as you, are deeply_anxious concerning their fate, as well as the iate of our republican insti- tutions. ‘They believe that they are at this time under @ greater trial than ever before. I have asked them to place themselves upon the common ground with us and consider the material advances of the people North and South. Ihave gone to the people, for On them rests the progress and pros- perity' of the nation. The Senator continued at considerable length to make an _ expo- sition of his peculiar views in relation to the pragent condition and future prospects of the United States. He declared the couutry to be at present in great danger, and said that on the morrow he would “taik’’ to the workingmen ina manner to convinee them that he was sincere and that his fears were well grounded. A large number of visitors were hospitably enter- tained by Mr. Halsted and the festivities were kept up unt! after midnight, | AQUATIC. The Bont Race Between Harvard and Yale— Letter from the Commodore of the Yale Navy. BosTow, June 7, 1869, of the race with Yale the favor grant was asked by the Harvard Club, Heretofore only undergraduates have been allowed in the repre. sentative boats at Worcester, but now a member of the Harvard Law School is allowed to row as one of the crew. Mr. Fay will, hence, go out to England two weeks later than the actual four, but as he only bye to fill any vacancies that may suddenly arise @ can be tolerably Well spared that long. Yale card thus:— Rew Haves, June 6, 1869, DRA Siu—At a meeting of the Yale Navy thie afternoon ft waa unanimously voted to allow Mr. Fay to be placed on our university crew; provided, first, that he is to go to Eng. {ond as 0 our two substitutes for the four-oared crew; u ‘aftangement be pot claimed as ® precedent tion in the selection of crews. t the best of success with your four-onred crew, very M.

There was not so much interest manifested in the vote as was expected. Out of 100 votes cast there were fourteen for and eighty-six against lay representation. The committee <n by. the uarterly Conference to take the vote consisted of the pastor, Rev. Benjamin M. Adams, Kk. KR. Ham- mond and John 8. Shelley. In the South Second street church, of which Rev. W. H, Boole ts , 100 voted were polled, with the following resuit:—For lay representation, 88; agaivst, 62, The Yale men have done the handsome thing by Harvard, As the latter would lose her four best men on account of their being ta England at the time AMUSEMENTS. Wattace’s THEATRE.—While Engtand ts taking” from us the remaining exponents of our negro min- strels and making it the best paying show in London, she ts sending to us {ts outgrowth—the burlesque—to- gether with the pantomime in exchange. Of the lat- ter character is the Lauri troupe, which made their frst appearance last night, and had they come as & novelty, the excellence of their performances would have secured them a profitable reception, The piece in which they were presented last night, “Mother Hubbard or Harlequin, Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue,” is {ntended as a com- bination of the burlesque and the pantomime, but itwill bear a good deal of pruning, a3 there is too much of bot, or too little of one to make an ac- ceptable entertainment. ‘The performance of the Lauris was Most excellent of tts kind, and had not the audience been ured with a lon; prelude and atoo long intermission would have been much more favorably received. The ballet is the best now on our stage, and the mechanical changes in the harle- quinade are excellent, and when they work smooth, as they will hereafter, will be well worth seeing. The performance as a whole will, however, hardly come up to the standard of Wallack’s audience, and will not do for @ summer pastime at that cosey the- atre. Bowgry TnzaTre.—‘‘Ixion; or, The Man at the Wheel,” was produced at this theatre last evening to a crowded house, It is not inferiorin any respect to the manner in which the piece has been put upon the stage in other establishments in this city. The scenery and dresses are all new and were got up under the supervision of Mr. Clarke, the stage man- ager. The cast of characters, taking into considera- tion the fact that, with the exception of Miss Her- ring, Mr. Brookes and Miss Clifford, the actors were sh in their parts, was very fair, Miss Herring’s Ixion will challenge favorable com- arison With any on the stage, and Mr. George Brooke's Minerva was a remarkably fine piece of grotesaue acting, Miss Jenny Clifford made a very pert Mercury, and the Jupiter of Miss Cassie Troy Was a neatly rendered part. The other members of the company acquitted themselves in an acceptable manner. The nursery rhymes were given with such humor that the boys in the gallery took up the re {rain and joined in with a hearty good wul. The effect can be imagined. The walls of Old Drury fairly rang as the choruses were repeated in respons€ to enthusiastic encores. THE TAMMANY SOCIETY. The Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, held its regular monthly meeting last evening at Tam- many Hall, Fourteenth street, where there was a big assemblage of the red men of the order. Grand Sachem William M. Tweed filled the chair, and after the minutes of the last meeting had bi read and approved Mr. Street Commissioner George W. Me- Lean was duly installed a sachem of Tam- many, receiving the honor conferred on him in a dignified manner, The following gentiemen were then initiated Into the arcana of the Order, and are to be henceforward efficient members of the democratic part; Neil Bryant. John Morrissey, General Slocum, James Brooks, Daniel Berrian, James McGregor (Superintendent of Luildings), Johm J. Wood, BE. K. Robinson and 8. F. Higgins. After the “big Injuns” had had a war dance with their newly received brethren, a committee, consist- ing of the Sache 3s, was appointed to make prepara- tions for the proper celebration of the Fourth of July; after which the society adjourned to. meet again on the Sth of July (the Fourth falling on Sunday), ab noon, to carry out the usual opservances of that an- nyversary. . THE NATIONAL GAME. The match game of base ball between the Red Stockings of Cincinnatt and the Unions (“Hay- makers”) of Troy, which was played on the grounds of the Untons, at Troy, yesterday, resnited in favor of the Red Stockings by a score of 37 to 31, About six thousands persons witnessed the game. To-day the Mutuals play with the Gothams at the Union penne, and to-morrow morning they take the eight o’clock train for New Haveu to play the Yale College boys. EUROPEAN MARKETS.
