THE PEACE JUBILEE. IMMENSE SUCCESS OF THE THIRD CONCERT. Thousands Unable to Obtain Admis- sion into the Coliseum. The Programme Admira- bly Performed. Boston, June 17, 1869. ‘The excitement to-day increased to such a surpris- Ing degree that thousands were actually refused ad- mission at the doors. Twenty-five dollars was ac- tually offered to speculators in tickets and orders were sent to all the ticket oMces to stop the sale of tickets for the rest of the Jubilee. The doors were closed at the commencement of the concert, and even some members of the press could not gain admit- tance. There was no other alternative, as over 60,000 persons were in the building. Probably the same. number of people crowded the adjoining grounds. Can any stropger proof be given of the entire success of the Jubilee? A very large propor- tion of the audience were ladies. A FEW COMPLAINTS. A word regarding the acoustics of the Coliseum. They were considerably marred by the myriad ban- hers suspended across the roof, and the sound was to a great extent muiiiea by striking on the bunting. Some people were disappointed at the character of the body of sound which ¢ame from the chorus and orchestra. They say that five hundred singers in a music hallin New York produce a grander effect. ‘They torget that the hearer at the Jubilee experi- ences the same feeling of disappomtment as the visitor at St. Peter's, Rome. The com- plete harmony in detail of the immortal Basilica and the colossal musical structure which Mr. Gilmore nas built up here 13 something we do not expect. The conductor's stand is, however, too low for the members of the orchestra to be able to follow his baton with satisfaction, and the instru- ments are not well located for sound. The chorus is, in every sense of the word, the best ever heard in America. THE PROGRAMME. The overture to ‘Fra Diavolo” opened the third monster concert. It was not a success, as the open- ing bars for the violins were utterly inaudible. The fifty wumpets rendered the solo part, usually played by a trumpet, with rare unison and brilliancy. The flutes were better than at the previous concerts, Martin Luther's glorious Judgment Hymn was then sung by the full orchestra and chorus. ‘fhe little trumpet solo which occurs at intervals received singular éclat from being in- voluntarily accompanied by the distant cuick of a locomotive in exact unison. The third piece was the “Festival Marcn,’? composed by Jannotta for orches- tra, military band and organ. It commenced with a commonplace janvare of trumpets, aud then fol- lowed some passages which were manifestly incended for the wind instruments, but were played by the violins. The march consisted of a sort of potpourri Of various subj-cts, none of waich had any natural connection with each other. Some of the subjects were popular and pieasing, but the work was un- worthy of such an occasion. Parepa-Rosa then made her appearance, attired in a corn-colored basquine, trimmed with black fringe, and a white trained robe, handsomely figured. she sang the ceebrated aria from “Robert le Diabie’’ very successfully. A triumphal overture on the national air, “Hail Columbia,’ concluded the first part. It was cumposed by Convers, and never should have teen selected for such an occasion. ‘The opening part seemed like an incantation, and was a desperate attempt at classical writing, mtroducing passages taken bodtiy trom Beet- hoven. It fell flat as it deserved, Carl Bilz’s grant military march, “Prince Frederick,” was rendered with a spirit and dash surprising for an orchestra of 1,000 performers. Arbuckle won fresh laurels by his trumpet solo froin Mercadante’s “II Bravo.” The reed band of 500 did not give satisiac. ton in the “Overture to stradelia.” It was a very uneven performance. “The Anvil Chorus,” “Star Spangi Banner” and “Old Hundred,” brought the artillery again into play, Mr. Gilmore conducted throughout with a great deal of skill, and broughe out im the course oi the coucert Moore's beautiful Irish air, “the harp that once through Tara's halls” with telling effect. It was given by the fui! chorus aud orchesira. Another grand concert takea place to-morrow afte:noon, and on Saturday the Jubiiee will be closed by a tinale as brilliant as any of the previous day's performances. THE GRAND BALL. A grand ball was given in the Coliseum to-night. The building lights up superbly, and both inside and outside the scene was very brilliant and icturesque. Over three thousand gas jets flung ces Of light on ten thousand devotees of ‘Terpsichore, aad the watchword of tne Jubilee, “Peace,” shone in huge letters of fire at one end of the platiorm. Harvey Dodworth con- ducted the promenade band of 100 performers with his usual skill, and 200 instruments responded to the baton of Gilmore in rendermg the dancing pro- gramme. The exquisite waltzes of Strauss were given in an admirable manner, while hun- dreds of tiny (and otherwise) feet pattered on the huge floor responsive to each measure. As might be expected, the ball was democratic in character, and there was a complete freedom in regard to costume, Still some of the ladies a; peared in elegant ball toilet, and amid the thron, were foreign ministers, State officials and army an: navy officers. At present writin height, and the scene is one oj ment, the ball 18 at its gaiety and enjoy- BUNKER HILL. nce of the Anniversary by the Conti- nental Ganrd—A Brace of Picnics, If distance begets reverence, as Mr. Carlyle seems to be of the opinion, it 18 also true that nearness is the parent of sublimity. Bunker Hill 18, hence, sublime to the Bostonians—being to New Yorkers an almost forgotten skirmish. True, flags are displayed here and there, Even the City Hall agrees that the 17th of June is an anniversary of some sort, to be remembered of course, though not half the patriots of the equilateral are exactly aware what anniver- sary the 17th of June is supposed to represent. ‘The day was celebrated tn this city iu @ smal! way yesterday, thougl, ordinarily, nobody would have been aware of it, as, ordinarily, nobody did suspect it New York got up in the morning, read the papers, breakfasted and went to business as usual, with no very t concern whether Bunker Hill had ever existed or had ever been commemorated to the ex- tent of @ monument. The Washington Continental Guard broke in, however, upon the general monotony of minding nothing about tie occasion, and minded it to the ex- tent of a picnic or two and considerable consump- tion of lager. The Second company of the Guard, in the pic- turesque uniform of the period, did the honors of the day at Union Park, at the foot of Sixty-third street, East river, taking both afternoon and even- ing for the ase oo as = bd members ot e company aken possession of the ground, but it was not until two o’clock that guests began to swarm into the enclosure.

Fi an Of course the afternoon exercises did not consti- tute the romance of the affair. Sunshine, even in the woods, is a literal sort of thing, and admits of no Rembrandt effects of any sort. The luxury, the relic odor of old romance, the fascination of the matter, was constituted by the moonlight dance, or, rather, the dance by the uneasy glimmer of vaslight. Then the scene was one of odd sort of glamour; and the evolutions of the quadrilie, polka and wallz—saving the occasional relief of zig- zag, occasioned by lager—were almost fairy-like.

THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CO\ FERENCE IN CHICAGO, The Prevescd Alterations of the Prayer Book—Ancient Teachings and Church Doge mas Denounced. zi CuicaGo, June 17, 1869. The Protestant Episcopal Conterence met at nine o'clock this morning, when the subject of the re- vision of the Prayer Book was again taken up. Rev. Mr. COWGILL said he had read in the papers that tuis meeting means secession from the Church. ‘This he denied, It meant reform. He believed that vhe time had come when the men who teach doc- tries subversive of the principles of the Church should be actively opposed; when the friends of the Church pure and undefiled should, instead of stand- ing on the defensive’all the time, assume the offen- sive and bring these innovators to trial. He believed that this reform-could be readily effected, and until all peaceful measures taken in the body of the Church had failed he was not in favor of secession. ‘The alteration of some twenty words in the Prayer Book would, he beileved, satisfy everybody. He wished the words “priest? and “altar” especiauy expunged. Vv. Mr. OLIVER proceeded to read his letter of reply to the protest, and concluded with tne follow- ing resolutions:— Resolved, That in all matters of faith, worship, doctrine, long established rites, ceremonies and usayes, we adhere to the decisions of the Protestant Episcopal’ Church. in. the United Staies of America, as expressive of the mind of Christ, and by. them we propose to test ail the departures from the pure faith, doctrine, long estabiished rites, ceremo- nies and usages complained of in the protest. Second, That we suall use all diigence in every available legal and’ constituuional means in order to bring betore the proper tribunals of our Church all those who depart trom our pure faith, doctrine, worship, long established rites, ceremonies and usages, whether of detici or excess, aud that by the grace of God we will show such ourselves; and that we herevy pledge our mutual faith to teach others to stand by each other through evil and good report in this our work of faith and tabor aud Jove. ‘Third, That while we expect the Bishops of the Church to use all necessary forbearance, we also promlse them our cordial ‘Support, respect aud encouragement in the Lord in their en- deavor to preserve the faith, doctrine, long established rites, ceremouies and usages by’ the Church, as delivered unto and by them, as our bright and uncompromising Protestant Apostolic inberitanc ‘The chair decided the resolutians out of order. Rev. Dk. ANDREWS entered upon an elabarate dis- cussion as to what 1s conscience with respect to the proposed alteration in the baptismal service, and other reforms proposed, He regarded them, and also the protest, hasty and tl advised. Dr. BOWEN, of Uhio. thought 1t as necessary to torid the Prayer Book of is dogma of apostolic succession a8 that of spiritual baptismal regenera- tion, Noexpurgation of twenty words would suit him. He was tor correcting the faith, not tne words, ‘he prayer which contains this miserabie boar ea of apostolic succession showd be revised entirely. Kev. Dr. NewToN took about the same view, as also did Kev, Mr. Ross, of Kentucky. Kev, J. CROCKER WHITE, of Massachusetts, said if he could not get liverty in the Church he would get it out of it. Rev. Mr. CHENEY said Bishop Mclivaine’s letter had but two points:—First, that the Prayer Book should not be revised, because it was not by its au- thors, the Reformers, proposed to teach the doctrine oi spiritual baptismal regeneration, in the baptusmal service. If this was true they had made a most un- forvunate selection of language, or 1¢ undoubtedly does teach that very doctrine, and its use com- pels tue minister to teach gn error which he abhors. ‘the second point is that we have no right to revise that Prayer Book: ‘the Keformers. who prepared that book themselves, avowed that the time would come when a revision would be necessary. Tnis book must be revised, 80 as to be in accordance with the Bible, The Bible is God’s bvok, the Brayer Book man’s work, and is not so sacred but that it may be touched. By and by the bishops will be with usin this work; and they uow admit that a revision is needed, but claim that this is not the time for it. Even now one of them was 80 far on our side that his letter was suppressed from those published in the oificial Episcopal organ of the Diocese of Ohio. Rev. Mr. NEWTON o/fered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted :—- Resolved, AAs the opinion of this Conference, tuat & careful revision of the “*Book of Common: yer" is needful to the best Interests of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Resolved, That all words of phrases seouniug to, teach that istian ministry is a priesthood, or tae Lord's Supper a sacrifice, or that regeneragion is inseparable from baptism, shoud be removed from. FR Pravar Book. ‘The Conference them took @ recess, The Convention reassembled at tiree o'clock, and the question of the method of revising tne Prayer Book was discussed. ‘The President thougat the ue- sired changes could be effected without auy extreme measures, ‘Tue chairman of the Committee on Resolutions re- ported the following, which were adopted:— Resolved, That in the opinion of this conference it fa the duty of evangelical men in the different dioceses to take measures to inform the laity of our Church. by means of the pulpit and the press, respecting the vita! questions waich now agitate tae Church. ‘Resoived, That, in the opinion of this Conference, either the American Church Missionary Society: shouid exteud ite work to forelga elds, or another association be formed on the voluntary principle to conduct that work, Resolved, That this Conference recommend the evangelical clergy of or Church to avail themselves of 9 as uniting with them in sue American Bibie Society., Remarks were made by Rev. Dr. Newton, Rev Mr. Clements, Rev. Dr. Andrews and others upon the subject matter of the resolations. Coorge Offered the following, which was Resolved, That there shall be now appointed » committee of —— clergymen and — laymen, to be denominated the Standing Cormittee of the Chicago Conference, which com- mittee shall have power to sit as often as they may deem ex- pedient, and abail be a body in perpetully for the promotion of the general objects contemplated by this Conference, Adjourued sine die, NEW YORK ACADEMY OF MEDICINE. Reading of a Paper on “Summer Mortality” by Dr. Stephen Rouers. A stated meeting of the New York Academy of Medicine took place last night at the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons, corner of Twenty-thira sureet and Fourth avenue, A paper was read on “Summer Mortality” by Dr. Stephen Rogers. Dr. Rogers commenced his paper by presenting a tabular statemept of the death rates of some ot the principal cities of the world for each juarter of \ne year, the date not given. !n ondon the rate was for the quarter ending June £0, 11,000; for that ending September 40, 10,400; December 31, 14,000; March 31, 11,000. In Paris the mortality was, for the quarter ending June 39, 10,515; September $0, 10,520; December, 18,000; March 31, 11,850. In New York ‘the mortality wa: for the quarter ending June 30, 5,540; September 30, 5,67 cember 31, 4,700; March 31, 5,v00. In the tw t cities first named tie greatest mortality was in the cold months; in New York it was in the months including the heat of summer. The evil results of heat were greatly augmented by humidity, When the temperature Was at seventy-ive an tn- crease to seventy-cight or elgitty greatly increased the mortality; but changes from sixty to less than seventy-five were not productive of like evil resulia. In adiuits the increased mortality was oc- casioned mostly by sunstroke. As a pre- ventive of tnis malady the wearing of as little and as light clothing as the conventionalities of society would admit was advised. Contrary to the generally received opinion on the subject, it was stated that where there had heen no previous depri- vation an unlimited supply of ice water was beneficial. The doctor tien referred to the treat- ment of sunstroke and the necesstty of keeping the body cool. It was a far speedier way to cool the blood pouring water oa the arm than on the head. ‘The tatality of sunstroke was due more toa disordered digestion than to any other cause, Heat, however, was not the only element contrivuting to the increased mortaity, Sunstroke in New Orleans was less common than in New York or Philadelphia, This was owing to the fact that the body is more ex posed in the fermer to the air than in Northera citie The next question taken Up Was tiat of infant mor- tality. One of the great causes of the increased mor- tality of children during the hot months was (ie dressing them with (oo much clothing, fannels and the like, The true policy, it was sald, was to remove all Nannels and leave the bodies of clildren as cool and as much exposed to the air as possivie, The inability of women to nurse their own offspring Was another great source of mortality, The best nutrition for an infant, in defauit of its natural food, was undiluted cow’s milk; to dilute it, as was the custom, was to starve the child, Even swill milk was better than diluted mitk mixed with only preparations such 8 were in common tse. Feed infanta on pure, undiluted cow's milk and it would do more than could be done in any other way to prevent tufant mortality. If Sorosis could or would turn its atreution towards giving us women Who could perform the maternal functions instead of entering the political arena it would be complishing some good. The Pocior inveirhed ainst the system of wet nursing as tendin® to in A poor woman to get the money offered to nurse the child of the ricit Would neglect her own oniid til it died. In treating cholera infantum, so Irightially prevalent in this country, the first thing to be done was to keep the body cogil. Let it be ex. posed to the air and on no consideration during the geuson of great heat let flanne: be worn, Let ice water be given to the chiid to keep iis blood cool YACHTING. PROGRAMME OF THE ENGLISH YACHT RACES. Lonpon, June 17, 1869. according to the programme of the Royal Yacht Club just published racing commences on the 34 day of August. The first prize to be contended for ie the Queen’s Cup, valued at 100 guineas, and is re- stricted to yachts belonging to the squadron. Cut- ters have two-thirds and yawls have tonnage added. ‘The time of race will be according to the squadron scale, On August 4 two prizes are offered, the first valued at seventy-flve pounds and the second at twenty-five pounds sterling. A time race open to cutters belonging to any royal yachs club. The an- nual dinner of the Royal Yacht Club will take place ‘on the same evening. On August 5 the Town cup, valued at £100, presented by the inhabitants of Cowes, is an- nounced to take place. This race 1s open to all Royal Yacht Club yachts over thirty tons. Cutters and yawls to sail on the same terms as the race on the 8d of August. On August 6 two prizes will be putup. The first valued at seventy-five pounds sterling and the second twenty-five pounds. The course announced is @ Match round the Isle of Wight. Tiie yaw!s to sail im accordance with previous regulations, In the evening @ grand ball will take place. Probably through oversight no mention 1s made in the several races of any of them being open to the New York yachts, which are expected to visit here, ‘This omission causes unfavorable comment ta sport- ing circies, in view of the notoriety heretofore given of the intended visit of American yachts, Some persons assert that obstructions have been thrown in the way to prevent open competition, in fear of a Tepetition of the yacht America’s success in carry- ing away the Queen's Cup some years since, while others profess to believe that the American yachts Will be cordially welcomed. The omission, how- ever, to say the least, 1s curious, ANNUAL REGATTA OF THE JERSEY CITY YACHT CLUB, A Good Race, with Light, Variable Winde— A New Yacht the Wianer. Yesterday—the day selected by the Jersey City Yacht Club for their eleventh annual regatta— promised to be fair, according to @ yachtman’s ac- ceptation of fair weather, but proved in the end to be anything but such as might be most desired. The morning was somewhat close and sultry, but towards noon a breeze sprang up from the west, driving before it light, Meecy clouds, which, to those interested, spoke of stronger breezes to come, But even the wisest of the weather-wise are astray occasionally in their prognostications. They wished and thought, but the wish was probably father to the thought. About miaday the wind again died away, leaving the sky of the purest unspotted biue, and the water almost withoat a ripple. Congratula- tions were changed to repinings, and a duil, unin- teresting race was for a time expected. But, as if in compassion, the breeze again freshened slightly, cowlng still from the west, and sweilt the white sails of the yachts which dotted the bay on the shore of which the club house is built. ‘The regatta Was between sloops, divided into first and second Classes, the Uirst class being above twenty feet in length and the second class those measuring Jess than (nat. ‘The boats entered as first class were the ve owner, Feet, Commodore S.

This was done, each retaining its relative position until entering the bay again, When the Comet was seen rapidiy closing up, and on passing the stakeboat for the second roun had gained three minutes on the Sea Bird, whicn, however, passed first. On making the second roun the Comet was half a minute in ance of the next foremost boat, the Zepliyr, between whom and the Luy a keen contest was anticipated. ‘Ihe result of the race for the first place was now beyond all doubt, the Comet gradually but surely distancing ail others; and the mterest centred oa the Zephyr and Liy, who until the fifth round satied stem to stern, so closely that in the third round a foul took place, the Zephyr, however, getting well off and ret ning, her lead. On passing the judges’ boat at the fifth round, about half-past two o'clock, the wind having veered to the southwest, the Zephyr, by careless management, allowed herself to be driven inside the dock at the extremity of the bay, Which obiiged her to tack twice before she could make the cut into the dock. ‘The Lily, cau- toned by the Zephyr’s Meer stood well out and sueceeded in obtaining the lead, which she main- tained to the end, though closely followed by her gallant adversary, the difference in their time of passing the judges’ voat being, in each successive round, from @ half to one minute only. The sailing ol the other boats presented nothing interesting. The judges’ boat was passed on the final round in the following order and time:— He M.S HOM. 8.

Interesting Addresses, Scenes and Incidents. Ex-Governor A. G. Curtin, the newly appointed Minister to Russia, sailed yesterday afternoon for Southampton in tne Bremen steamer Donau. The morning was occupied in recetving visitors at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, among whom was Senator Sumner, who made a short speech to the represen- tatives of the Philadelphia Councilmen, congratulat- ing the country on the selection made by the ad- ministration in the mission to Kussia, Senator Sumner and Mr. Curtin then had a lengthy private nterview, At noon the Minister and his escort, comprising about fifty gentlemen, proceeded in car riages to the foot of the Battery, where they em- barked on the revenue cutter Uno, Captain Lay, which was placed at ther disposal by Surveyor Cornell. The weather being extremely pleasant, the safl down the river was a delightful one in all re- spects. Short!y before the steamer reaciied the point where she was to meet the Donau the com- pany held an informal meetung to pay Ueir last re- spects to the distinguished guest. REMARKS OF RUFUS ANDREWS. Rufus Andrews was called upon to represent the city of New York, He said it was witli mingled feelings of sadness and pleasure that he responded to the request—pleasure to be able to congratulate bis old friend upon his election to so responsible a irust as representative of the Upited States to Russia, whose government had been the true friend of the United States during the most trying oa ds of the rebellion; and of sadness, because he was about to care pecs for years with one whom he 80 much loved and estee.ucd—a@ representative not of Pennsylvania alone, but of the whole United States—and one fto whom every Awer.can soldier, from General Grant down to the most humble private, has reason to be thankful. It is true that the events of the war have ceased to interest the people of the United States. We are ap excitabie people and throw aside the issues of seererthy to grapple with taose of to-morrow. Ever ouward is the progressive struggles of tne age. But it is weil at times to take a@ retrospective view, especially on an occasion like this, It will be acknowledged that while all the governors of the loyal States lent their aid to the suppression of t he rebellion, the peop e throughout the country recognized Audrews and Curiin, the Governors of Massachusetts and Penn- syivania, as the two leading ligats in supporting the gcvernment. ‘Sheps And this may be said without any dewriment to their colleagues. Our government sends to Russia a fit representative of the age he lives in—not an old fogy with discaraed ideas, but a live man of the people and jali parties, democratic and republican, are gratified with the se- lection, He will go to Russia as a repre: sentative American to watch the interests of his whole country; and we may trust that lis influence wiich has been of so much benelit at home will be usefully exerted, only 1n Russia but in France, Engiand and througa- out the Continent.

GOVERNOR CURTIN—You have been accompanied hither by @ number of your friends trom Pennsyi- vania who deteriuined to put oif the time for parting until the very jast possibie moment, but the me has come to say farewe.. Lhe people of Pennsylvania feel that they are bereaved at losing from their midst “our Pennsylvanian,” our repre-entative man, who has sumed the glories aad triumphs as well as the disasters of the State. You were placed in her chief magisterial ofice just ata time wien such a mau as yourself was necded, and it was tu- deed fortunate ‘for tue ship of State that the nelm was th your hands during the criais of 1560 and "61. It is true that tne diflicuiues of that period have weighed heavily yo your health and strength; that your raven hair has ‘been iinged with white and your once erect lorm bas been bent; but you can find some slight reward in the knowledge that of all the friends you gathered round you iu that tryig period you have not lost a single one, while their numbers have been swellea by hosts of others who de.ight to admire and applaud your work, that ‘with these westerly winds wiil follow you across the Ovean to-night the prayers of thousands of Pennsy|- vamians for your safe and speedy vuyage; that U peopie of your native State regard you as their re; resentative man—in (he same reiation that a fend bears who has been consant in the wreaiest. jrsperity and ihe greatest artiction. (Ar plause,) You are not ony our chosen one, but our loved ae, and wii so coutinue io be re gurded, Your absence wil! be felt, not only by the people, out by the great party wiich has halied you as its leader in 80 many past victories, and which fears it may lose much by your avseuce. The puity will sadly miss your wise couusel and rallying worus in the coming contest, and if your frieuds are cast down in ine coming campaign they will have to look in vain for their galiant standard-bearer, But jet us hope that it will be only for a time; that when week after week roiis around you will return to us ready to figlt again the weli fought field aud recover for us the vantage ground; that your bugle will again be sounded to gather together your trusted friends and your voice be heard a8 @ precursor of success. It is @ source of gratification to us, however, to know that you are going to a true and frendly na- tion, During the darkest hour of the reveilion a fleet of twenty Russian vessels foated upon these very waters, having visited us to say they were ready to aid us even in our hour of greatest adver- sity. We will remember that when the skies were the darkest, when tie war cloud lowered heaviest, the reflection from the Russian Hghts was tne brightest and warinest to cheer our iearts, They were our friends, When our enemies were driven back aud ther arms were picked up from the fleid, none of them were found to the mark of having beea made in any place in Kussia; no shot nor siuell were packed up in Russian arsenais; Do vessel Was fitied out in Russian ports to prey upon our commerce ani burn and destroy our peaceful merchantmen. it 18 dimcult to fully comprehend the warm attachment which exists be- tween this great empire and iree America. But we know that kussia isour frend and that America is the iriend of Russia, and tbat whea, as our repre- sentative, you extend the right hand of iriendsnip to the representative of that government you will grasp an honest Land—tie hand of one who repre- sents @ government Which respects its treaties, ea- “forces its laws and keeps its faith. (Appiause.) Mr. MANN ¢hen feelingly alluded to the love borne by the soldiers of Penusyivania to one who had ai- Ways protected their interests, and to the nobie and successful eforts of tie Covernor in estabiushing homes for the soldiers’ orpians, and in a touchin: and eloquent peroration spoke tie parting wor “farewell.” REPLY OF MINISTER CURTIN. Minister CurTIN, who seemed much affected by bomen earnest words of friendship, then rose and said: — GENTLEMEN—I would have been perfectly satisfied With the commission | bear from my cuuntry to re- present ber abroad to have separated myself trom Tuy State and country without any such evidences of afiection as I have received to-d orany of the compliments paii me by the peo of my State, and telt that 1 had been fully compen- sated for all the service I lad readered my cuuntry, But such evidences of warm affection from the ple of my State, of all classes, and ot all shades of political ieeling, oppress me. A life of some experience—as lal 08 falls to the lot of men generally—has saustied me that the cold, calm head, in the moment of separation, of joy or of distress, ialis far short of the feeiing that wells up from tue heart; aud my experteuce, both in private ‘and public life, has taught me that when the head fails to satisfy the conscience it is safe to fall back upon the heart, and let it determine what is right and what is wrong. 1 could not but feel honored that the city of Philadelpuia, through the act of its government, gave me a public reeeption in the classic, Hall of Independence. 1 could not but feel from my heart depth of gratitude for the magnificent demonstration made me atthe Academy of Music on the evening of the same day, and Tam not insensible to the idea that the liearts of the people of Philadelphta will follow me to other lands. 1 forget that | am going as Min- ister to Russia, but only remember that lam a man and that my friends are warm and true—the noblest feeling that God has Ly tng in the heart of man. Believe me, tam your friend; and now as the ves- sel_approact let me ask you to carry bavk to the Gea abet of Pennsylvania who have so re- warded, by and sustained me, my most grate- ful thanks. Mr. CunTIN then returned his thanks to the City Council of Philadeiphia, who sent their representa- uves here, irrespective of political sentiment. He gloried in the grand old State he was to leave, and while it Was with pride he called himself an Ameri- can citizen, that pride was largely elevated in con- sidering that he was also @ Pennsylvanian. He also returned his sinvere thanks to the gentiemen of New York who had shown him so much gyod feeling; and, in conclusion, he sad, “Let it be my las words, that the glory of st life, m: atest CONSO= pana ‘that the soldier of the republic calls me his trten¢ Mr. Ronert Evans, on behalf of the Philadelphia Councils, then made a brief speech, About thus time the steamer Donan approached, her band piay- ing the national airs; and amid the firing of salutes and the cheers of his friends on both steamers the Governor embarked WAR ON THE CUBAN JUNTA. Arrest of the Members for Alleged Vio- lation of the Neutrality Laws. Secretary Fish Disciaims any Interference. Excitement in Mew York and ‘Washington, and Release of the Prisoners on Bail. The arrest of the leaders of the Cuban Junta in this city the evening before last on the score of vio- lating the neutrality law of 1818, created a tolerably profound sensation among the citizens of this metropolis, especially when it was thought that the arrest was made at the instigation of the Spanish representative in Washington. The istructions were at first presumed to have been issued by Secretary Fish, at Washington, to United States District attorney Pierrepont, by whom the matter was laid before the Grand Jury, and upon their presentment of a bill of indictment against the Parties orders for their arrest were issued by Judge Blatchford. Two of the prisoners were found at their residences on Wednesday evening and were taken to Ludlow street jail, where they paid the oMctal in charge twenty dollars each for the use of a bed for the night. The Minister, Sefor Lemus, was found at his residence in Brooklyn at a late hour, but he declined to recognize the character of the oificers who presented the order and refused to permit him self to be arrested. He gave his parole to appear in the morning at the court and avswer. The officers acknowledged that they had been well paid to make the arrest at that late hour, the presumption being that it was intended to subject him to the personal indignity of imprisonment at an hour when no court was in session to take cognizance of bail. The prominent persons in the movement of Cuban independence were already known to the Marshal, but it was thought advisable to make such a sudden seizure as would subvert ail plans that might be made providing against capture. The following will illustrate the character of the proceeding:— The United States vs. José Morales Lemus, Jost Mora, Colonel William O'C. Ryan, Francisco Fesser, Jose M. Basora and Others.—The Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, during iis recent deliberations, found true bills of mdictment against the above named parties and some others not yet arrested aud whose names are in consequence withheld. The in- dictmeat contains ten counts, the first and second embodying the gravamen of the offences charged, the remaining counts being but legal verbiage re- capituiating technically and with but very little alteration the principal charges, that of having on the Ist of May, 1869, begun a certain military expe- dition against Cuba, a portion of the dominion of Spain, with which Power the United States are at peace, in violation of the neutrality laws of we United States, THE INDICTMENT. The indictment, stripped of legal ratiocination, re- cites the Charges against the accused substuauaily as follows:— CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERIOA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTHIOT OF NEW YORK, IN THE SECOND CuRCUTT. Ata saved term of the Circuit Court of the United States of America for the Southern district of New York, in the Second Circuit, vegua and Ueld at the city of New York, within and for the district and circuit aforesaid, on the trst Monday of April, in the year of our Lord 1889, and continued by adjournment fo and including tue lwth day'of June, in the year of our Lord 1863, ‘Nwithern Dutrict oy New York, et.—The jurors of the United States of America within and for the ‘district and circuit aforesaid, on their oaths present that Jose Moraes Lemus, William O'C, Ryan, Francisco Feaser, Jose Mora and others, lace of the city add county of New York, in the district and circuit aforesaid, yeomen, heretofére—to wit, on the Ist’ day of May, in the year of our Lord 1662, at the Southern district of New York, and wituin the jurisdiction o| the court, with force and arms did Knowingly and wilfully, then and there, bein a certain tal.i- tary expedition, then ana there, to be carried on (rom thence W the territory and dominions of a certain foreign ¢ State of Spain, with which the United States are now and were then at peace, against the peace of the said United States and their dignity, and agaist the form of the made and provideu, ties, with Jose Mo- 3 peace, he would feel it to be his duty to order that such bonas be given, Mr. Pierrepont said he had no apprehension that Mr. Lemus or the other defendanis had any desire to wo away or to evade due process of law, especially ‘8 regards Mr. Lemus, as his property in Cuba had been already confiscated by tne Spanish geste ment, He believed the statement on behaif of the other defendants was true and he would therefore suggest that the Court authorize that bonds be given to answer the indictment in $5,000 each to appear for trial, and that in addition the clerk of the court be directed to prepare bonds in $2,500 each to keep the peace and not to violate the neutrality iaws of the United States. ‘The Court acquiesced and bonds were prepared, alter considerable dimtculty as to the word ng, of nam to meet the concurrence of counsel on either BONDS GIVEN AND THE PARTIES RELBASED. The bonds were given before Commissioner Shieids. Dwignt Townsend was the jdsman, be giving bail in the sum of $2,500 for each of the pris- oners and they themselves the aame amount, to be levied under the Hosting, conditions:—The prison- ers were indicted by the Grand Jury of the United States for the Southern district of New York for vio- lation of the neutrality laws of the United States; and whereas the offence charged in the indictment tended, in the opinion of the Court, to @ breach of the peace. of the United States, and under the au- thority conferred by the act of Congress ap- proved July 1 1798, required the persons 80 Indicted to find security for their good behavior and to refrain from any violation of the neutrality laws and from any breach of the peace of the United States, in sum above mentioned, The condition of the recognizance is such that if the prisoners shall be of good behavior towards the United States and shall refrain from any violation of the neutrality laws, or from auy breach of the peace of the United States for the term of one year next ensuing the date hereof, then the above obligation to be void, otherwise to remain in fuli force and virtue, Bonds were also given by Mr. Townsend in the sum of $5,000, and each of the defendants in the like amount for their appearance in the Circuit Court of the United States on the third Monday of October next. The scene during the giving of the bonds at the Commissioner’s office was very lively. The rooms were throughout crowded by many prominent Cubans, who, it is neediess to state, took great in- terest in the aifair. When Ryan was arrested on Tuesday, on Broad- way, Deputy Marshal Gregg behaved most roughly— his conduct being entirely unwarrantable. He gave Ryan over to the custody of officer Allen, say.ng, “Take this fellow to Ludlow street jail.” The whole proceeding was characterized by @ degree of ruMlanism and brutality unworthy of the fame thai New Yorkers and Americans hold so dear. These Cubans may have violated the international law of the country, yet nevertheless they were en- titied to the commun privileges accorded from ume ree heen to the refugees of tyranny from every climate, Excitement in Diplomatic Circles Over the Arrest of Cubaus in New York—Secretary Fish Ignorant of the Whole Affair. WASHINGTON, June 17, 1869. The news of the arrest of the Cubau Envoy and Junta in New York created considerable surprise in oficial and diplomatic circles here. The Depart- ment of State seems entirely ignorant on the subject. The first intelligence Secretary Fish had of it was communicated to him this afternoon by your correspondent. Mr. Ruis, Secretary to the Cuban Envoy, who is now here, was also ignorant of the misfortune of his compatriots until informed of it from the same source. Mr. Fish seemed @ little bewildered, but asserted that he knew nothing of the proceeding and that no orders had gone from the State Depart- ment for the arrest of the parties. Your correspon- dent next proceeded to the residence of the Spanisi Minister, but be seemed to have an inkling of what was going on in New York aud did not manifest any surpiise at the news, itis probabie that ne had a fal from New York announcing the fact eariier in the day. He seemed in good humor, and, surug- ging his shoulders, said he supposed they iad been indicted by the Grand Jury ot New York and arrest- ed fora breach of the neutrality laws, The Cuban sympathizers here siirewdly suspect that tne visit of the Spanish Minister to New York last week had something to do with the arrest of the Cuban Junia and Envoy. He was in New York for severai days, and it is thougiit got some of his friends to go belore the Grand Jury and make anidavit against the Cubans, which nas resulted in their arrest. M. Ruis, as sooo as he learned the news, immediately teievraphed certain friends of the cause in New York, witt a view of ascertainil tae particulars. He then repaired to the residence ot Secretary Fish for the purpose of hoiding a consul- tauon with tim. The Secretary informed him, as he had previously stated to your correspondent, that he Knew nothing of the matter, ihe action of the United States authoriues in New York 18 uni- versaily condemned here, aud the syimpathies of the people are more than ever with the Cuban patriots. Mr. Ruis received a despatch this evening from New York stating that ali tae Cubans wio lad beep arrested Were re.eased on bail. WEST POINT. unt the above named ral nus, Joas Mora, William O'C. Ryan, Fraucisco Fesner and others, are indicted with-having, on the Ist day of May, 1869, wiifully set on foot a certain ‘military expedition thea and there, to be carried on from thence against the territory and dominion of the foreign State of Spain, to wit, the island of Cuba, with which said foreign State of Spain, the United States are now and were then at peace, against the peace of the suid United States, ac. THE ARRESTS MADE. On Wednesday, upon ti indictment, Judge Blatchtord issued bench warrants for the arrest of the wes named therein, and on the same even- ing Colonel William OC. Kyan and José Mora were arrested by United States deputy marshals and lodged in Ludiow street jail. Tree other of the parties learning early Layee 4 morning of the ar- Texts already made, aud that they themselves were under the ban oi the iaw, proceeded at once to place themselves in the hands of capable counsel, that they might be advised What action they shouid take under the circumstances. Other counsel had been lied to on behalf of Colonel Ryan and Jose Mora, and the line of proceedings hereaiter detailed was decided upon m behalf of all. At the opening of the court yesterday it was evi- deut that tle usual Guil routine of business was to be set aside, for a time at least, to make room for matter of sume speciai interest, judging from the unusual number Of Spanish or Cuban-looking per- sons who chiefly constituted the audience when the Judge took his seat on the bench. but before the opening of the proceedings the rumor got abroad that the gentiemen composing the Cuban Junta in this city, and one of the principal leaders of the ex- pedition which, it is charged in the indictmeut, has been under preparation from the ist day of May Jast, had been arrested and that some preliminary hearing in the case would be had, and soon the court room was crowded with spectators, Tue parties arrested the previous evenins were not brought into court, but two of the accused, for whom the om- cers Were at that moment in search, came quietly into court with the counsel and surrendered them- selves up under the warrant. These were Jose mo- rales Lemus, Presideat of the Junt Francisco Fesser, and subsequently José M. Basora. APPLICATION TO PIX BAIL. Mr. Samuel Sherman, assoctate counse! for Messrs. Leinus and lesser, addressing the Court said that he had an application tw image in the matter of the Unlied States against Mcssrs. Lem.s and others, Caban gentiemen, ciarged under indictment wih a breach of the neutrality laws of the United States. His application to lis Honor was that the amount of bail might be fixed, which the court would re- quire in each case. If this was done tt would do away with the necessity of having those parties 1u- cluded in the indictment, and who were uot yet arrested, subjected to ihe tndignity of public arrest and incarceration. His client, Mr. Lemus, now pre- sent in court, aaxious to submit himself to the laws of the land, aml orders of the court, was a distinguished lawyer at Havana, enjoying not only at homme, but abroad, an enviabie reptutation a3 a scholar, @ writer, and a juries. He was also @ man of wealth, wad had been selected by the patriot Gencral Cespodes as Minister Plent- tentiary W represent the repubite of Cuba at Vashington. Ali of these defendants were gentie- men of high character end unquestioned honor, and there was not the Ss disposition on the part of any one of them (v shriak from or shirk any investi- gation into their acts or conduct. He hoped the Coart would now fix the amouut of ball, and tat it wouid not be made excessive. District Attorney Pierrepont said that these bg against the defendants had en instituted at the instance of the Spanish government, through its Minister im this country. He believed that with regard to these defendants ail that counsel had said of their character and honor and standing was true, and, for himself, he was most anxious to see them admitted to bail. He wouid, therefore, propose to tie Court that they should imdividuaily enter into bonds of $10,000 to appear tu answer whenever calied upon. ir. Sherman objected to bonds in $10,000 as being excessive and indeed oppressive. The defendants here were not cicizens of the United States-—-vhey were foreigners; and it was not to be supposed that they could procure such security in a case of tus | kind as citizens could. i | Mr. Pierrepont called the attention of the Court to an old statute—1780—bearing upon the point under | discussion, and referred to the case of the United | States vs. General Quitman, of Mississippl, who, al- though not indicted by a Grand Jury, Was notwith- standing required to give bonds to keep the peace, as well as bonds to answer any indictment that might be found inst bim. He (Mr. Pierrepont) would therefore ask that the Court require, in ad. dition to bonds for the appearance of the accused when called on for trial, bonds biuding tiem to keep the peace, and pot to violae the statute referring to international laws, Mr. Evarta, couusel for Mr. [emus, opposed the giving of additional bonds in tho case. The indict- ment Was only an accusation, ti support of which there Was no proof, noting whatever to show that ‘the accused ever entertained an idea of violating in- ternational law, and the first priaciple of law was that every man ~_ be one innocent till he be judy jity. It Would be overstraining @ point, ‘aa well as op reasive to the defendants—ioreigners in a strange land—perhaps, to be obliged to find vonds, or to give security as to what the future con- duct of some of them was to be, Judge Biatehiord reierred to ihe decision of the Court in the case of General Quitman and read at length from the report thereon, and stated that if | ous one, occurred here to-day. Departure of the Graduating Class—The Farewells Between the ClassecA Serious Accident. Wes? Port, June 17, 1369, As the clock struck twelve to-day the graduating class donned the blue for the gray, and bid fareweil to taeir old comrades in the corps of cadets, Of course stages an carriages and baggage wagons were at once im great demand, and nearly every train that went northward and every train that Went southward during the afternoon bore iiome- ward each its quota of graduates. The great ma- jority of the class left in the afternoon by the steamer Daniel Drew, and were accompanied to the ianding by a large number of the cadets of the under classes and others who bad formerly belonged to the class ot 1860, but who had at varivus times cur- ing the four years’ course been put back to a lower class, on account of not having passed a good ex- amination. Indeed, on account of the extraordinary rigor with which the class of 1869 was treated from the moment it emerged from plevedom down to the late examinations, the number of these unfor- tunates was quite large, and the parting between the graduates and them was very affecting; for, although not actually beionging to the ciass, the “backwards were always considered by the graduates and considered themselves ag part and parcel of it. As the steamer drew near the wharf and the gang plank was thrown out the scene was very aiiecting. No graduate seemed willing to be the first to leave, aud at last, when the bell rung “ail aboard,’ hands were shaken again and again, while tears trickied down many a cheek. ‘Then, as the steamer left the wharf, the cadets on shore gave the “class cheer,’ which was returned with a wil, again and again, by tue graduates on board the boat, and handkerchie’s were waved and “gooubys” exchanged tn voices broken with emo- tion, bus did the class of ‘60 pass away from we “scenes that knew them well,” perhaps uevermore forever to meet with the old frieads from whom tuey were forced te part; for We clasp our hands; we turn and go, Par travellers with strange nous act years; The face, the form, the voice we know — They come not back from time aud tears, An accident, which might have been « very sert- Mr. Frederick Gua- ther, brother of ex-Mayor Gunther, accompanied by a (riend of his named Mr. Clark, got into a carriage to go to the boat ianding thia morn‘ng, and just as the horses had reached the top of the hill, near the Riding Hall, they started ata fearful rate down the road. Mr. Gunother and Mr, Ciark caught hoid of the reins and endeavored to assist the driver in con- troiling the horses; but all their efforts proved fu. tile. The horses dashed down to the very foot of the hill, where Mr. Guather and Mr. Clark jumped out, and the driver, on nearing the wharf, tried to rein the maddened animals into the ferry house; but they turned squareiy on to the dock aud rushed over into the river, carrying him and the carriage with them. The guard and others on the dock succeeded in rescuing the plucky fellow. Lt was found when he was brought ashore that he had received @ frightful gash on ois head, from which the blood flowed profusely. Mr. Ciark was badiy injured about the face by his fail, but was abie to walk about-during the day, while Mr. Gunther’ juries, though not dangerous, were such that he had tw be conveyed to the hotel, Where he now ies surter- ing. The horses and carriage of course went to wae botiom of the river. Lieutenants Rockwell, Hardy, Fitzsimmons and Perrine, of the graduating class, have been detailed tor duty at thts place dure the encampment oa and after the 6ta of next month. The West Point Graduates in New York— Banquet at Delmonico’s, The graduates of the class of 1869 had # banquet at Deimonico’s, Fifth avenue and Fourteenth sureet, last evening. Every one of the thirty-nine members of the class, with the exception of four, who were compelled by circumstances to leave for home early yesterday morning, were present.
