Great Excitement in Political cles=Change in President Grant’s Cabinet—Resignation of Secretary Borie=George M. Robeson, of New Jersey, Appointed Secretary of the Navy=Astonishment of the CabinetOther Changes in Prospect. The disintegrauion of President Grant's Cabinet, which was predicted by Mr. Seward, commenced to- day. At an early hour this morning A. Borte, Secretary of the Navy, sent the jollowing letter of Tesiguation to the President:— NAVY DEPARTMENT, | BTON, D, C., June 25, 1869. § Wasnt TO THE PRESIDEN’ Sik—Owing to continued ijl health and the de- mands of my private business upon ine, | regret that 1 am compelled to tender you my resignation as Secretary of the Navy, Jn doing so, permit me to express my thanks for the uuiform courtesy and kindness with which you have honored me during the brief period of our official intercourse. Witn earnest hopes and wishes for the entire success 01 your administration, I have the honor to be, very re- spectiully, your obegient servant, A. E. BORIE, Secretary of the Navy. ‘The matter seems either to have been understood between them or the President was no way oath to part with his Secretary of Marine, for in # snort time he returned the following note, signifying his acceptance of the resignation: — EXECUTIVE MANSION, | Wasmincton, D. C., Jun 1869. § Hon. A. E. Bonte, Secretary of the Navy:— Sik—Your note of this date, tendering your resig. mation as Secretary of the your resignation is acceptea. avy, is received and Very respectfuliy, J. 5. GRANT. This business disposed of, the President imame- diately directed 2 commission to be made out for George M. Robeson, of New Jersey, as Secretary of the Navy. Mr, Robeson, who arrived here this morning in company with Senator C !, of New Jersey, made bis appearance at the Depari- ment about eleven o’ciock, Ne found Mr. Borie awaiting him, and after a short interview between the outgoing and incoming Secretary and Admiral Porter, the heads of bureaus in thy depart- ment were summoned to the Secretary's rocm, where they were severally introduced to their new chief. With the singie exception of Adaural Porter, this was the first intimation any one in tie aepart- ment bad of the appointment of Mr. Robeson. Alter the ceremony of introduction the heads of bureaus retired, and Mr. Borie; Mr. Robeson and Admiral Porter were again alone. Mr, Borie made some genera! observations about the work of the depart- ment and the duties and Jabors of the Secretary, adding that he had been greatly aided by Admiral Porter. The Admiral, he said, understood every- ining about the department and was a most emicient ‘worker, “I want it understood that you are to remain here,” said the new Secretary, addressing Admiral Porter. “That depends altogether upon the President,” replied the modest Admiral. “Well,” said Secretary Robeson, with a knowing smile, “1 think there wili be no dimecuity about that.” About twelve o’ciock Mr. Borie accompanied Sec- retary Robeson to the White House, where the oath of office was administered by Judge Fisher, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and Mr Robeson went into Cabinet council for the first time. The President and the Secretary of the Navy have Managed this business with the utmost secreey. It appears that not a single member of the Cabinet ‘was aware of the change until the new Secretary made his appearance to-day at the Cabinet meeting. “| wondered what we were waiting for,” Secretary Rawiins remarked, afterwards, toa friend, Secre- tary Boutwell, on his way from the Treasury De- partment to the White House to attend the Cabinet meeting, met your correspondent, who gave hint the news. “First 1 heard of it,” said the Secretary, as he hurried along. It appears that Berie has been anxious for some time past to Jay down the ropes of office. He was not over anxious to work himself, and it is whispered that while he was perfectly willing that Admral Porter should run the department, he .was not altogether pleased that the public press should give Porter tie credit for it, Borie, though not regarded here as a man of much force or ability, Was nevertheless con- sidered a good fellow, and had made many friends. He was fa:nous for his good dinners, the rare quality of bis wines and cigars, both of which he imports for his own private use. The President, it seems, met Mr. Robeson, the new Secretary, for the first Ume at West Point during hig recent visit there. At that time he was on the lookdut for a new Secretary of the Navy, and took a fancy to Mr. Robe- gon. On Wednesday, a week ago, the President wrote to Mr. Robeson, offering him Borie’s piace. Mr. Robeson took a week to consider the matter, and finally signified his acceptance in a@ letter re- ceived by the President last Wednesday, The new Secreiary is the best looking man in the Cabinet. He is quite large, with a florid complexion, and about forty-five years of age. Up to the time of his appointment he was Attorney General of New Jer- sey, and is said to be a jawycr of considerable ability. ‘The effect that this change has already had upon the public here is to make people think tuat Grant is about to make a pretty generai reorganization. He has given his first selections a trial, say some, and now he is going to try Cabinet No. 2 Among the rumors afloat is one to the effect that Boutwell and Hoar will be the next togo. People who pretend to Know ail about it look intensely wise and predict that George 8. Boutwell will not be at the head of ‘the Treasury two mouths hence, and that, indeed, his successor has already been agreed upon. So far a8 your correspondent can make out, however, there seo ground for this rumor as aifecting Boutweil, though there does seem to be some reason for the belief that Hoar wil! not remain much longer in the Cabinet. Boutwell and Fish are, perhaps, the two members of the C.dinet, next to Rawlins, strongest Mm the esteem of Presitent Grant, and therefore it seers highly Improbabie that Boutwell will go out. ‘The chance has a greater effect on the Pennsylvanians than upon other folks. They are ina great rage at Josing their representation in the Cabine. The Wea that a great Stat like Pennsylvania should be kept out and little potato patch Jike Now Jersey Awarded a Cabinet officer seems to them utterly preposterous. They admit that they were not satisted with Borie, but they blame the President for not selecting another and more popu- lar man from that State. ihe Pennsylvania politi- «ine say the effect of this Cabinet change will be most disastrous upon the approaching Gubernato- rial clection in their State. Hven the most sanguine beyin to entertain doubts of the ability of the radi. cais 10 carry the State, which at the best is expected to be very close, The republicans say the people of Vetnsylvania will regard the action of the President ‘1 not selecting a suceessor to Boric from the old Keystone asaenub, It will cool the ardor of tne republicans, while it will give co: rage to the demo- crate, Altogether, Pennsylvania i decidediy dis- @usted with Grant, Borie and themselves, Ra-Secretary of the Nayy Bore entertained bis NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1869.— suececsor at dinner this evening. There were pres ent Secretary Robeson, Senator Cattell, Captain Am- men, of the navy, and General Sciriver, of the army. As Mr. Borie leaves for Philadelphia to-morrow morning this may be considered as the last dinner he will give in Washington for some ume. The Appointment of General Butterfield. The appointment of General Butterfield as Assist- ant Treasurer at New York was made at the solici- tation of a number of merchants and other business men in that city, and nos on direct application by himself. The President and Secretary of the Treas- ury had been for some time considering the repre- sentations made by various parties concerning this appomtment, and concluded that General Butierfleld would mect the requirements of the position, for which oniy a few applications were on file. The Macon Postmaster. Mr. Turner, the colored Postmaster at Macon, has received his commission and leit for that city. Astistant Assessors of Internal Revenue. The number of Assistant Assessors of Internal Revenue has been reduced 963 since November. There are now 2,217 in the service. 2 Cadet Appointinents to Fill Vacancies.

General Canby, with a view to enforce a fair and legitimate election in the State of Virginia, has or- dered the arrest and trial by a military commission ofa planter in Loudon county who threatened to discharge his negro employes if they voted the Wells ticket. An Attempted Outrage Defented. The name of the young Jady upon whom a negro villain attempted to commit an outrage day before yesterday is Miss Matilda Nichols, daughter of the Kev. D. B. Nichols, of this city. As I stated last night, the ruffian fatled to accomplish his object through the courage and determination of the young lady herseif and iier tWo youteer sisters. From a member of the family the following Sarticulars are obtained:—The negro was secreted in a wild spot, abounding in rocks and bushes, from which no house ts visible. As the girls passed he rushed from iis hiding place and seized Miss Matilda, the eldest girl, by her dress, holding her tightly, but she being very strong resisted stoutly, while Lydia, next in age, also a resolute and plucky girl, showered stones at the brute, one of which struck him in the side and doubled him up, causing him to release his hold of Matilda, Both = giris then assaulted him with stones, he closely pursuing them, and at one time seized Lydia by the ankie and nearly threw her down, but did not succeed, His head was badly cut by the stones thrown by the girls, and, afraid, probably, of the arrival of help, as they Kept up a continual screaming, in which they were joined by the youngest child, who was too badly Inghtened to give more efficient aid to her sis- ters, the miscreant finally abandoned the pursuit and fed without accomplishing his hellish purpose. The youngest child was so Irightened that she had to be taken home, and is seriously 111, being attacked with brain fever, It is hoped the scounarei will yet be arrested, as the police have a full description of his personal appearance, which 18 said to be any- thing but inviting, The affair creates great indigna- tion here, aud threats are freely made of lynching the raffian should he be apprenendea. ‘Tax on Sales of Lottery Tickets. The following decision concerning taxable gross receipts from lottery business has been issued from the office of the Internal Revenuc:— Itis enacted tu section 111 of the act of June 30, 1® 4, as amended by section nine of the act of July 14, 1866, that every individual, partnership, firm aud aseociation, being proprietors, managers or agents of le cries, aud ali lottery ticket dealers shall pay a tax of five per cent on the gross receipts from said business. The term gross receipts, as here em- ployed, includes the entire receipts from the lottery business, comprising those from the sale of tickets, fractional parts of tickets, tokens, certificates and devices representing or intended to represent lottery uckets or fractionai parts thereof, and policies of numbers and receipts of the business from any and all sources, without deduction on account of prizes, “hits, tekets returned and exchanged, commis- sions, expenses or On any account whatever. C. DELANO, Commissioner. Personal. A. Tunstail Welch, for a long time head of the Passport Bureau of the State Department, has ten- dered his resignation, to take effect from the 1st of August, H. R. Hulburd, Comptrotier of the Currency, will leave Washington this afternoon on a trip to the North and West. He will be absent about three weeks, BON. ROBESON. Secretary of the Navy. It is @ somewhat noteworthy circumstance that no citizen of New Jersey ever held any other position in the Cabinet of a President than that of Secretary of the Navy. Samuei L. Southard held the position from 1823 to 1834, under the administrations of Presi- dent Monroe and John Quincy Adams, and Mahion Dickinson was appointed Secretary of the Navy by President Jackson, and retained the office for about one year of Mr. Van Buren’s term, The third citizen of New Jersey who has been called upon to superintend our n; affairs is George M. Robeson, of Camden, who was yesterday ap- pointed Secretary of the Navy in place of Mr. Borie, Who resigned that office and retired into the shades of private life. Mr. Robeson is ason of Judge Wil- liam Robeson, of Warren county, N.J., and was born about the year 1827, He entered Princeton col- lege in 1844, ana after graduating with credit in 1847, began the study of law at Newark in the office of Chief Justice Hornblower. In 1850 he was admitted tothe bar, and began the practice of his profes- sion as a partner of Mr. A. C. M. Remington. A few years later Mr. Robeson moved to Camden, at which place he was, in 1869, appointed Prosecutor of the Pleas. This office he continued to fill until 1867, when Governor Ward appointed him Attorney Gene- ral for the State, to till the vacancy caused by the election of Mr. Frelinghuysen to the United States Senate. Mr. Robeson resigned this latter position to accept that tendered to him by President Grant. He is known throughout New Jersey as one ot the ablest lawyers in the State, but as he has never ac- tively engaged in politics but few persons had any knowledge of him when the appointment was first announced on yesterday. The new Secretary is strongly republican in his political sentiments, and was an ardent supporter of Grant and of the Chi- cago platform. During the, rebellion he tuok an active part in the organizing of regiments and de. spatching of recruits to the various New Jersey com- mands, For his usefulness in this work he was ap- pointed a brigadier general by Governor Viden, and is known throughout New Jersey as General Robe- son. fis friends are very much pleased with his politica! promotion and predict an able administra. tion of the Navy Department by him. Hesor py T RarH.—From several sources we have received the following, and have enjoyed a good laugh over tt:— One day last week the manager of the telegraph oftice at Piqua, Ohlo, sent a message addressed to a person who resided near another office, which from motives of delicacy we do not name, directing it to be dropped in the post ofice, probably because too distant for delivery. What was Piqua’s amazement on receiving the followimg office message we leave vo ali Who read:— Pi 1QUA (ONTO) OFFICR. No such port office in Delaware omny as Dropra Fost Onice.

We have had uncommonly fine weather to-day and Most excellent sport in the way of double team trotting on a track that was in first rate condition for fast work. The pleasant weather and the fine sport expected were such attractions to the public that the attendance at the Narraganset Park grounds at Cranston this afternoon was quite large. Both trots, announced on the programme as pre- miums five and s1x, came off satisfactorily. The first was a double team trot, mile heats, for a purse of $2,000, apportioned to the first, second and third teams in the race, Tne race was won by J'wang and Mac, after six well contested heats were trotted with Jessie Wales and Darkness, General McClellan and Garibaidi, and India Rubber Ben and Rosa, which team, however, was distanced in the second heat. The time made was most excellent for double teams, the first and sixth heats being trotted in 2:3334, and remarkably uniform throughout. The second race was for a premium of $1,500, mile heats, in harness, and was won by Dresden in very good style, he beating Star- light, Mercer and Stanley, which were all the con- testants for this purse, out of about a dozen entries. ‘The great feature for to-morrow is the expected trot between American Girl, Lady Thorn, George Wilkes, Bashaw, Jr., Goldsmith Maid, Lucy and George Pal- mer, which Will terminate the sports at Narragan- set Park for this season. There is great speculation relative to this sensational trot, which is looked upon by hundreds of sporting men as indicating the relative merits of several of the fastest trotters in the country. Returning, however, to the events of this afternoon, we will now proceed to give a de- tailed uccount of the trotting that took piace, be- ginning witn the FIRST RACE. First Heat.—All the teams entered except Old Pr* and Honest Allen came to the post.

As they came to the score India Rubber Ben and Rosa were one length ahead, Jeagle Wales and Darkness second, six jengths in advance of Twang and Mac, who were ten lengths in advance of McClellan and Garibaldi. ‘Time of the heat, 2:33;.

The running meeting of the Prospect Park Fair Grounds Association opens to-day under the super- vision of the American Jockey Club. ‘The at- tendance will no doubt be large, fashionable and briliiant, the attractions of fine weather, a healthful ride to the course, with the enjoyment of invigorating breezes from the ocean, being added to the certainty of good sport. The programme includes five con- tests—a hurdle race, two races for sweepstakes, with two dashes for purses. The marked success of the Jerome Park meeting during the present season, in “turnout”? of style, representation of the middle classes, spirit of the riders and performances of the horses, notwithstanding the discouraging influences of most unfavorable weather, afforded substantial evidence that a love of the healthful re- creation of the sports of the turf has taken fast hold among us, and that borse racing, conducted with intelligence and in a proper spirit, has become a “fixed fact’? on American soil; and is likely to afford essential ald to the progress of that grand phy- sical development of our people which is now going on in such @ remarkable manner. The Prospect Park meeting promises an amount of enjoyment equal to that at Jerome Park, and with somewhat more of certainty on account of the advanced days of the season, and the probability, perhaps more, of continued sunshine. The course, as is known, is easy of access both by horse railroad and a fine route for equipages. The refreshment of the “inner man” will be duly attended to, so that every one who will be present is likely to return home de- lighted, and regoived to “be there’ next Wednes- day and Saturday alzo. Pool Selling Last Night. Pools on to-day’s races of the Prospect Park Fair Grounds were sold last nignt at the subscription rooms, corner of Braadway and Twenty-first street, by Major Barker. The attendance was quite slim, and buyers seemed to be but poorly represented in the smalt gathering.

Fast, during a residence there of a year, while upon staf! duty as an engineer with Major General Jei C, Davis. The museums hitherto known to New Yorkers have had trom almost every locality in the worid something of interest for its an- tiquity or for its suggestions of the habits of a contem- porary people; but in none have been found aught tw tell us what the people of Alaska have been or what they now are. Let one take the trouble to go through the rooms where Mr. Fast has his collection on exhibition and he will have a pretty fair idea, the land itself left out of the question, of what we have gained by the annexation of Alaska, What the been Mr. Fast has rified the grave to hazardous plece of business in that In most others, but having won the favor of some of the natives he was remarkably success- ful. The relics which he secured were from various tribes of a nation occupying te country south of Mount Sst plias, and known as Koloshians. Among these relies are weapons of offensive and defensive war- ware, ornaments, utensils of domestic life and im- piements of the different crafts known to these people. There are helinets and masks taken from graves that show a workmanship that inust have been the outgrowth of a mach higher degree of civ- ilization than exists there now. The carvings in ivory, wood and stone, so far as the workmanship oes, are not unlike the work of any rude people, at east to the casual observer. But the ideas sought to be conveyed and the characters given to their deities are peculiar to them. In the working of iron these people had attained a proticiency that would iead one to suspect a much higher degree of attainment in the other aris. Some of the swords, or large daggers they might more properly be called, and spears have blades in damask of such Workmanship as to induce the be- lief of their Ortental origin. In the carving of arti. cles of domestic use there is the nearest appre to beauty, according to modern canons of taste, be fownd in the entire coliection, adorninents were not such ‘ould be styled orna- mental hereabouts, Necklaces of walrus teeth, of lengths varying fom four to tem inches, would scarcely be to the taste of a Broadway belle.

ART IN PARIS. Fine Art and Artists—The Exbibition at the Palais de PIndustrie—Bertrand’s ‘Death of Virginia”—Gautier’s “Poor Mother”—Ge- rome’s Paintings—Jules Breton’s Works— “Joan of Arc,” by Laura de Chatillon The Award of the Prizes of Honor=Tho Gardens of Farnese=Art Gossip. Paris, June 11, 1869, In. my last correspondence on the exhibition of paintings at the Palais de Industrie { forwarded the names of the artists who have carried off the prizes this year. They are mostly ai! landscape painters, amopg whom the following are most re- markable:—Bernier, César de Cock, Hanoteau, Har- pignies, and Lansyer, M. Camille Bernier’s ‘Plain in Brittany” and his “Spring of Water’ are two opposite styles, One shows wild, uncon- quered, unyieldymg nature, the latter a woodland site of irresistiole fascination. *César de Cock has a “Morning in the Wood at Sevres.” “Itds a long ave- nue, arched by light branches which cross above, but allow the early sun to glitter through on the ground below. It is fresh, airy and inviting, and so true that the visitor almost fancies he can hear the fum of the insects moving under every blade of grass: the lark starts up in the distance among nebulous but opal tinted atmosphere. Of the two exhibited by Lansyer one is not so dis- tinguished a production as the other. It is tne “Chateau of Pierrefonds,” which is awkwardly placed in the centre of the canvas and has lost much of its picturesque situation; but the other con- tribution, “The Bac de Port-Ru,” a stream in Brittany, is, for transparency, lucid shimmer and ripple, of the most genuine kind. It would be tedious to no- tice all the excelient landscapes that have been sent in, and still it is worthy of mention that the modern French schoo! excels in this style more than in any other, Neither will I describe the contributions of all those to whom medals have been awarded, be- cause these distinctions are like manna in the hands of the government, they fall indiscriminately often, and a deserving painter close by is overlooked. James Bertrand, a native of Lyons, is by no means, however, an undeserving recipient of the medal. His painting 1s one of the best. Crowds, truly, do not stand around it as they do before M. Comte’s lit- tle dressed-up pigs “dancing in the pre- sence of Louis XI.,” but no one passes by Bertrand’s ‘Death of Virginia’? without a stop, followed by a tender sigh. The story of Paul and Virginia has ever left some sweet memory of bygone aays in the mind of the reader. We all re- member how and when we perused it—nay, how we wept over the lovers. Nothing has since then so moved us—not even the story of Heloise and Abe- lard, not even Romeo and Juliet. Therefore Vir- ginia, as shown to us by M. Bertrand, stirs the best remaining atoms of our manhood in a glow of youth- fulemotion. The young maiden is seen just as the last tinge of girlish blood hus departed trom her cheek. She is lying, foreshortened on the front plan, with ber bead on a dry beach, strewn with a shell here and a pebbie there, but scantily; a large rolling wave forms the curve im which she is embeddel, and its foam on the top shows that it is retreating in anger at having to leave unto another approach- ing one the task of removing the fair, graceful form to some other resting place. A string of small coral beads round an aiabaster neck keeps ml’s locket suspended under the bowed chin. His iast effort was evidently to maintain her skirts close from the rude grasp of the ocean. One small shoe is lost, and the little foot is seen under the folds of a silk stock- ing that wrinkies joosely; the other fast wit rosetted shoe is exactly such a one as we have fancied Vir- ginia had, alight, bounding foot that scarcely left traces on the green moss behind, and rendered it 80 difficult tor Paul to find her. The livid pallor ts more the whiteness of marble than death, and the green- ish tint spread over the body proceeds from those sad sea waves, Which were the grave of our youth's loved heroine, Another moving picture is by Armand Gautier, eniitied “Poor Moiher.”? It is nota mother in silk, satin or velvet, struck in her maternal idolatry by the revelation of some great offence commitied by & wayward child, It is a poor village mother, in a very poor country Jane, dressed in the s:mpilest of village clothes, In the background is seen a baby’s colin carried by two men to the churchyard close by. Inthe front stands the mother, couung back; she is trying to stand firm, raising meck eyes up to the clouded neaven; just then a very old matron has come out of the dilapidated cottage to take tie be- reaved mother in her trembiing arios and lead her in, “Pavere mere,” seems to echo the aged female, and she looks into tle young imother’s face to read how deep is the wound at heart; tor she Knows it all; she has gone through it, peradventure, more than ence, and she Knows, too, no words will com- fort; her expression is all—“Lean on me, child, a stricken one, full of pity for thee.” Gérome’s paintings this year show a total change ofstyie. Every one remembers his Phryne, his Cal- vaire, his Cesar. This year we have two—The sinan at Cairo’ and the ‘Promenade of the Ha- rem.” ‘he former is a clothesman, round whose per- son Oriental ature is hanging. All the beauty of tus ainung is In the perfect imitation of materials. The coat of armor 1s aimost palpable. It ts photo- graphic’ painting, if one might so express it. It is prodigious execution, and can be looked into through amucroscope. The sultanas of the harem are secu in a gondoia of mahogany, rowed on tue ciear, calm waters, by slaves. The master is seated at the prow smoking. The background—the palm trees on tne shore and the water in which they are reflected—is too minutely executed. A little more precision and the beauty of the painting woula have been lost. duies Breton’s “Procession in Britiany” has been inueh discussed and admired, though 110 one would certainiy purchase it tor a drawing room. A nume- rous gathering of Bretons and Bretonnes, all dressed exacuy in the same style and colors, are crowaed in a canvas of very middling propordous. The ex- presstoo on every face 1s one of faith and fervor, “Horrible,” exclaim some; “Magnificent,” retort others. On seeking which of the two is correct the critic will find that the painting is aot horribie, be- | cause uniform; and the wagaiticence is only meant for the truth with which the Breton peasantry is de- lneated. Here are the people woo never change, never seek grace, never belive iu progress—never, never wii, A few banners and the portico of a church are the only accessories, painted witnout any regard to perspective. A painting by a !ady and (hat has been purchased for the city of Orleans by the Minister of State, is Joan of Arc consecrating her Weapons tothe Virgin. itis by Mme. Laure de Chatillon. The tigure ot the kneeling shepherdess shows the brave maiden in the prime of youth: ber face is imspired and lips parted in prayer. So delicately 18 she moulded that it dees not appear she could buckle On the adwurabiy paint- ed armor said on the altar without divine help; but the spectator feels ceriaia that when she bas it on, When the towing fair hair ts under tie iron nead- piece, and when she has by her side that sword, no warrior will prance on his steed more willingly and —, M. Goupili, the great picture deaier, +4 ea- tered into arrangements with Mie. de Chatilion for the privilege o1 engraving this Joan of Arc in Europe. The prizes of honor, as I announced in my last, have been awarded to the authors of the best piece of sculpture and best painting. M. Perraud has tue Jormer, M. Bonnat the latter, The subject chosen by M. Perrand is “Despair.” It is a mighty concep- tion. ‘The victim of despondency is a powerfui man, undergoing a powerful fit of inoral doubt and suf- fering. He is seated with head bowed towards the und, his two aris crossed on one bended kuee. itter, bitter disappointment racks that brain, the marble throbs with rankling scepticism and on his hardened lips he seems to be meditating us Despair does in Lamartine’s poem:—“Oh, God, thou hadst the power, t pace, all and everything wherewith to make the chiidren of earth happy, and thou hast not willed itso.” Bonnat is the artist whose color- ing is gray and even brownish, loo, whose drawing is powerful and dramatic. He has sent in “The Assumption of the Virgin.” He is the arust Whose “Antigone Leading Edipus” can never be forgotten, and, though the religious paint- ing of this year is very fine and approved by com- mon accord, still it is not so wortty of the prize of honor as lis prior productions, It is his past which the jury have on this occasion rewarded, and for such @ past, 80 full of masterpieces, the public is satisfied he is deserving. A piece of intelligence that will interest the artistic world is that Napoleon I1L, has purchased the ancient gardens of Farnese, which had been built on the ruins of the palace of the Cwsars, Chevalier Rosat, an archwologist of great erudition, is direct- ing excavations and works there and has, at several metres depth, mnuch below prior excavations, found @ Roman villa, which, compared to Pompeii, 1s what @ palace Would be to a boudoir. It is searcely @ fort- night ago since the first paintings were discovered, and on Monday last M. Rosat telegraphed other dis- coveries to the Hinperor, Who answered and con- gratulated him on his scientific explorations under- ground, Coprecedented treasures are said to be lorthcoming i the artistic line, for which much is due to modern machinery used in the prosecution of the works. ‘This reminds me that the Emperor paid a visit two (ays ago to M. Boutet’s depots of marble for the construction of bridges. He was accompanied by General Failly, and after listening to every answer to inquiries he made to M. Load ad on @ small bridge built on the system advocated for ope to be thrown over the Channel. He seemed surprised at the wonderful power of resistance and strength of the construction when its lightness is considered. A amall steamer, with tts tender reduced to the neces- ry proportions of the bridge, was next experi- mented, and it looked like a feather arrow as it darted aiong. Theo the Emperor viewed the plans drawn for the projected bridge, Which were explamed to bim.

The result of The information given 1s that this fine marble bridge, one kilometre in length, resis on & single ‘pile, of which the foundation is the Bizeux Rock. Upon it are built a railway, a carriage and cart road, ana sidewalks for foot passengers, 1ts breadth is twenty feet. This may not appear gaite an appropriate place for bridges, but having long advovatea that carved marble should be applied to other objects than nude gods and fauns, and shepherds playing through a finte in thelr noses, your art correspondent is proud to mention any fact prove ing that art applied to industry 1s the best marbie commemoration men’s deeds have to hand down to iterity. We have for too many centuries copied acchus and mythology. Our generation Will pre- vent the annihilation ofart by telegraphy and steam, where artists are encouraged to do as the Roman’ did in the ceramic art—apply ideal outline, grace and science to common subjects for the decoration of houses, for loveliness without the nude at home, even to our utensils, which are neither graceful nor have suitable forms for their supposed usages.

A Lull in the Warfare=Nothing Heard from Colonel Ryan—Opinions ot Marshal Barlow on “the Situation”=The “Montana Men?— Getting Bail—Three More Patriots Arrested. No developments of any material importance in regard to the affairs of the Cubans in this city were made during yesterday; in fact, a serene quiet seemed to have settled down on Cubans and United States authorities alike. at the various resorts of the filibusters the usual! motley crowds of men lounged against doorways, on stair banisiers and in armchairs tipped back against the wal!s, and a visitor would have been impressed with the idea that he had stumbled into an intelligence office or a labor exchange, Still more would he be impressed with this idea if he happened to question any of the men, as ‘Montana’? seems to be their watchword, the acme of their future aspirations, and they indeed express some anxiety to know when they will be shipped for the great Territory, and taik as though they feared other men might at this moment be digging up the golden nuggets which these should be unearthing. No one, of course, believes them; and it is manifest- ly evident that something earnest must be doing, for these men are all furnished with quarters and food at somebody’s expense. People don’t often support large bodies of men in idleness tor mere fun or with- out expecting a quid pro quo. Marshal Barlow is exceedingly incredulous as to the statements that Ryan nas left this city, and still cherishes some lingering bope that the Colonel may be overhauled and the reputation of the Marshal’a office be freed from the suspicions which attach io the minds of many persons to the escape of Ryan. Among the men connected with the movement there is certainly a unanimous acquiescence in the report that Colonel Ryan is in Punladelphia, and numbers of the officials of the Junta express the same belief. Of course there are atleast a few of the officials who are precisely posted as to his where- abouts, and though no one expects them to yet make their knowledge public, it 1s generally con- ceded that the Philadelptia explanation of his ab- sence leaks out from those officials. At least one thing may be said, which is that if Colonei Ryan 1s in New York his light must be hidden under some- thing not much larger than a bushel, for though ex- tremely quiet in the manuer o! doing tt the Mar- shal has a large posse of detectives on the lookout for the Colonel, and every known, or, indeed, pro- bable haunt of the “abseut one” 1s under close surveillance. The letter which Ryan caused to be mailed to the Marshal ou Tnursday evening, and which was published in the Heap yesterday, it is understood 1s suspected by the Marshal to have been post dated, but there 1s no doubt that it was penned shortly after Ryan’s escape and was handed by the Coionel to and maiied by a person whose Jace of business is not five hundred yards from the Narsnars office. Marshal Barlow positively demes that expedition left this port either on Wednes- day or Thursday evening, the assertions of Cuban officials to the contrary notwithstanding. Colonel Charles Courrier, the “patriot,” who was taken in handcuffs through the streets on Thursday from the jail to the court, was yesterday admitied to bail in $7,000—viz., $5,000 to respect the neutrality laws and $2,500 to keep the peace. Colonels Clancey and Michaelovski, who were ar rested on Thursday at the Astor House, were yester- day brought before Commissioner Sticlds to afford them an opportunity to furnish bail. Tney were un- abie, however, to furnish the required bail at the time and were remanded to jail. Sesior Alfaro, however, had undertaken to obtata satisfactory bail, and they wil! probably be released this morning. In Jersey City last night the Spanish agents were busily engage’ endeavoring to track tie men dis- persed from No, 636 Broadway and other quaners in this city. It was reported that a hal! occupied by & large number of strangers had been hired by imends of the Cuban cause, and that the so-called recruits were assembling there pre- paratory to a hasty departure. Several deputy marsnals were also about the Jersey City ferry, on the lookout for certain parties for whose arrest warrants had been issued. There was a ru- mor that two or three hundred recraits from Vir- ginia were en route to the Jersey coast by rail, for peditionary leaders 13 interesting at this time and will probably throw considerabie light on the pres- ent stage of operations. On the 16th ist. the au- thorities, upon evidence laid before them by the Spanish agents, first took oMicial notice of the 6r- ganizations, already well known to our feaders. as the Cuban Junta at No, 71, and the expeditionary beadquarters at No, 626 Broaawaf. At late hour on the night of that date the United States Marshats arrested Seiiors José Morales Lemus (the Cuban re- presentative in this country), Jose M. Bassora, Fran- cisco Fesser and Colonel W. O°C. R. nd placed them in the Ludlow street jail, froi ‘h, on the 17th, they were brought before Judge Blatchford, of the United States Circuit Court, and each released under bonds in the sum of $5,000 to anpear for trial and $2,500 to observe the neutrality laws. On the ist Col. Ryan Was rearrested upon the charge of resumin, his occupation of fitting out an expedition, an Seilor Aliaro (Secretary of War ot the Junta), Captain James Peters, Captain J. C. Conant, Surgeon J. J. McNulty, A. Ackerman, Felix von Sternberg and Wim. Snidorf were also taken into custody and locked up until the 22d, when they were brougut before Commissioner Osborn for a hearing, and «il released on bail, as in the previous cases, with the exception of Colonel Ryan, who was refused batl and remanded to jail. On ihe 23d the parties agata appeared be- fore the Commissioner for a hearing, but the Grand dury having in the meantime framed an indictment against the parties last arrested, the Commissioner discharged the case, and the individuals were imme- diately rearrested and held to answer the present- ment by the Grand Jury. That evening Colonel Ryan escaped from the custody of tie Deputy Mar- shal, and subsequently the other parties were re- leased on bail in the sum of $7,500 each. On the night of the 23d the men quartered at 696 Broadway and other points, aileged to be places of rendezvous for Cuban recrutts, suddenly abandoned those localities, and have not returned. A large number of them crossed over to Jersey City, but returned to New York again early Thuars- day moruing, dispersing themselves about the city, On the 24th the authorities arrested Colonels Vv. Michaeloveki, James T. Clancey, Heim, Shelton and Harray de Cabernois, on a charge similar to that upon which the others were seized. ‘Thus it will be seen that nearly, if not quite ali of the principal officers of the alleged Cuban expedi- tion are either held under heavy bail to preserve the peace and appear at some future date for trial, or are m continement. But the friends of the Cuban cause express much Jess disappointment than might be e under the circumstances, and seem to be confident that an expedition will succeed in gettin to sea in a short time. I[t is not to be presumed that the men, numbering several hundred, wilt abandon their enterprise in consequence of the em- barrassments thrown around their late leaders, and from the fact that they still move about in smait squads, with an evident understanding between them, there is a coe of their yet eluding the vigilance of the Spanish agents and embarking tor their destination. The counsel for the accused are sanguine of the acquittal of their chents, regarding the testimony upon which the arrests have been made as too gene- ral in its character to convict on any of the charges preferred.

Kogers as oounsel, MORE ARRE Captain Harris, Harmon a evening arrested by orders { Marana’ srow ane et arrested by orderd (rom Marshal Dariow and lodged in Ludiow street jail.
