TRLECRAPHIC NEWS " FROM - ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD THE POLITICAL CRISIS IN FRANCE THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. THE SPANISH SITUATION. Dismissal of the Governor of Catalonia. Re-establishment of Civil Law in Cuba. ‘Tho Censorship of the Telegaph Withdrawn. FRANCE. ‘Tuo Govermental CrisieDemands of the Op- Pesition—M. Rouher’s Position—The Empey ror Quietly Watching the Course of Events, Paris, July 9, 1869. The govermental crisis in France increases in in- tensity. The members of the constitutional opposi- tion in the Corps Législatif deciare as their ultima- tum that nothing short of the retirement of M. Rouher ‘will satusty them. The Emperor desires bis retirement, but hesitates to dismiss him on account of the Min- ister’s devotion and ability in discharging the duties of his position. M. Rouher's failure to comply with the evident wish of the Emperor is severely cri ‘ucised. * Yesterday the proprietor of one of the leading journals said:—M. Rouher, your time has come— leave—decamp—clear out !’’ “I know it,” answered the Minister, “but my wife ‘won't resign,” whicn is literally true, as Madame objects to give up palace honors, The Emperor will wait meantime till this little domestic trouble is settled. ‘The majority of the Assembly are opposed to the propositions of the left centre, which in the first instance demands a responsible ministry, and, secondly, the autonomy of the Assembly. The Em- “peror ts, therefore, obliged to parley with the oppo- sition, the majority of whom do not wish to defy him openly, and hence the legislative deadlock, ‘which must be brought to an end in the course of next week. Another View of the Situation. Pakis, July 9, 1869. The Peuple Francais save the Deputies in the Corps Légisiatif who are now signing an interpella- tion for political reforms are members of the Tiers partt and friends of the government. They do not ‘want the Emperor to renounce his right of initia- tive, but ask him to allow the Chamber to share in i. We believe the Emperor is not disposed to re- ject their demand. The situation is not disquieting. While one side 1s not disposed to make exaggerated claims, tne other is equally resolved not to make ex- aggerated resistance. The crisis will terminate in a compromise which will satisfy public opinion. The article continues:— Minister Rouher, in his reply yesterday to M. Favre, admitted that a ministerial crisis was spoken of; but the great question of changes, which will powerfully affect the institution of society im the future was bound up with the question of the barrier ‘which must be raised against revolution, We know not when or by whom the agreement will be achieved; but we do know on what vital force the Chamber will rely to preserve society. ‘The Resignation of the Ministry Announced. Paris, July 9, 1869. The evening Journals announce the resignation of the Ministers. It is believed that M. Rouher has ‘deen commissioned to form a new Cabinet, which will include four members of the tiers parti, A manifesto from the Emperor is looked for. Senator Ramsey, of Minnesota, arrived here to-day. The Voyage of the Great Eastern Nearly Complete. Brest, July 9, 1969. Up to Thursday noon the steamship Great Eastern had ran 1,754 knots from this port and paid out 1,977 knots of the cable. The omcers of the expedition on board the steamer expected to reach shoal water by Friday noon. * ENGLAND. ‘The Postponement of the Alabama Questiap in «= Parliament—Views Regarding This Course=New Minister to Spain—Overend, Gurney & Co. and Their Creditors, Lonpon, July 9, 1869. The Times regards the postponement of the de- ‘bate on the Alabama claims with satisfaction. Their introduction at the present moment would serve no good purpose. A general sense of weariness with ‘respect tothe subject on both sides necessitates an intérval of a considerable period before it is resumed. Debate could only be use- fal if Parilament disapproved of the con- duct of the Ministry or wished to Instract it in regard to future negotiatiohs. But there is no dissatisfaction. The only charge against Lords Stan- ley and Clarendon is that they were too yielding; ‘but the Commons were not likely to advise a with- drawal of the concessions made, nor were they pre- pared to lay down a plan for future negotiations, and anticipations of such results from the discussion were most imprudent. Another reason for declining dis- cussion 18 @ due regard for national dignity, which forbids our approaching the American government on these questions; public opinion ts ‘unanimous on this point. The late treaty was vir- tually American; for it was made, altered and re- altered by Seward and Johnson. It was rejected as Much through party antipathies as from any ais- content with ite provisions, it was probably fore- doomed, and whatever its provisions might have been in all likelihood would have met the same fate. England is ready 0 listen to any proposals from America; but to display a desire to receive shem favorably would tend to increase, not lessen, the demands. When Mr. Motiey considers the feel- ing of America is such that a treaty consistent with the honor of England will satisfy Americans, he may address the government for a renewal of nego- tations. Only such @ treaty will have a chance of acceptance. Nothing more is desired than to live in peace and good will with a kindred nation; but now Josg diaposition exists to sacrifice the interests and dignity of the country to any unjust pretensions. The public will not approve any eagerness to negotiate, which seems to forbode weakness when negotia- tion comes. The prevalence of more moderate views in America is gratifying, It is,to be hoped that the question of the Queen’s neutrality procia- mation, which has dropped out of sight, will be tacitly abandoned. This favorable change 1s owing to the discovery that England will not concede be- youd a certain poiut; and this resopution js not likely to be shaken. ; The Star is giad that the Alabama discussion has ‘been postponed. American resentinent against Eng- land ts Itkely to become weaker, and her desire to reduce the burden of pubhe debt stronger, The best thing for both countries 1s to hold thetr peace for awtile. No general discussion can simplify matters, The new House of Commons evidently preferred to leave the responsibility of the postpone- Ment on the government, and the Star thinks the country will OY aged its prudent self-restrain Jt ls reported that Lord Howden has v pointed Minister of England to Spain, ‘The Associated Chamber of Commerce have ten- dored & public breakfast to Hamilton Mill. ‘The assignees of Overend, Garney & Co.'s bank nm ap. wilt pay a dividend of one shilling on the pound in September, making full payment to all creditors of their claims, with the exception of the accrued tn- terest, . The Report of the Committee on the Irish Church Bill Received in the Heuse of Lords. Lonpon, July 9—Midnight. In the House of Lords to-night the Irish Church bill came up for report from the committee. On motion of Lord Cairns the dave ‘‘ist of May, 1871," was substituted for the “1st of January, 1872,’ throughout the bill. Lord Redesdaie moved an amendment that the representatives of the Irish Church, and the Catholic synod in cages of vacant bishoprics, nominate three persons for the crown to select from and that the crown be empowered to summon one archbishop and two bishops from each Church to sit in Pariia- ment. The Earl of Granard protested on the part of the Cathvlics against the amendment, which he declared was utterly inadmissible, and it was withdrawn. The Marquis of Clanricarde moved that clause 28, giving power to convey additional land to the Church body, be restored to its original form. He said the clause as now amended revived Protestant ascendancy in its most hatefal form, giving glebe lands to the Church body, but refusing them to Catholics nd Presbyterians, 1 was certain that the government and the House of Commons weuld never sanction the amended clause. The Marquis of Salisbury replied that in moving the amendment he contemplated similar grants to the Catholics and Presbyterians according to Mr. Bright's original proposal, which Mr, Gladstone had endorsed; but he thought that the retention of their own glebes by the Iriah Church was not unfair. After further discussion the Earl of Denbigh an- nounced that the Catholics nad decided not toaccept glebe lands or residences. ‘The Marquis of Clanricarde’s motion to restore clause 28 was lost by a vote of 40 to 91. The amendment embracing the proposal of Ear! Granville to pay naif a million sterling in money instead of handing over private endowments created before 1660, was agreed to. ‘The report was then received. The Earl of Clancarty gave notice that when the bill came up for third reading he should move a Postponement of the reading for three months. The Fourth Day of the Newmarket Races.

The rest are in a state of liquidation. Count Valmaseda writes to the Captain General that the civil authority has been re-established in the jurisdictions of Manzanillo, Bayamo and Jiguani, and travelling on the highways was safe. Captain General De Rodas has granted to the cor- respondent of the Associated Press a freer use of the telegraph. At an interview he said that in reporting military movements the correspondent would always be permitted to state facts, though at times they might be unfavorable to the government; that true knowledge abroad of what actually passed in Cuba would injure no one save the rebels, = * JAMAICA.

THE HARVARD INTERNATIONAL (RZW, Trini of the New Beat at Greenpoint—A Vigorous Pull—Excelleut Condition of the Crew—Entertainment by the Nassau Boat Club. Since their arrival in thia city the style, physique and genera) bearing of the Harvard crew have elicited confidence and esteem. They are dashing feilows all, and will doabtiess realize the expectations formed ofthem. They sail to-day for Europe by the City of Paris with the most fervent hopes for their success. Win or lose, they will ever retain the adm ration their pluck has meritoriously created, for they Will have gained a triumph even if defeated. They go forth to struggle with the English on their own fa- miliar ground, yielding to every little objection care- fally set up to mar the event. The victory of the Harvard crew, therefore, should they carry the honors of the day, will be the more tremendous. Yesterday morning the crew— consisting of Captain Loring, Mr. Burnham (cox- swain), Mr. Simmons, Mr. Bass and Mr. Rice—started for Greenpoint to try their new boat, built by Mr. Elliot. It measures forty-nine feet long, eighteen inches wide, six and a half inches deep on the enas, and twelve inches deep in the cockpit. It is con- structed of Spanish cedar an eighth of an inch thick, and altogether is a sterling piece of workmanship. ‘The other boat, which has been boxed and shipped on board the City of Paris, wilh be used for practice, and it is intended that the one built by Elliot will, if possible, be the instrument of victory. The crew arrived ac Greenpoint yesterday morning and pro- ceeded to try the boat, Some delay occurred in getting ready, but Mnally, towards one o'clock the men prepared for the test in Newtown creck. Never did oarsmen present a more healthy, vigorous and determined form, To be sure there was 4 little plumpness observabie on some of the crew, which will be got rid of on the other side; but on the whole they looked promising in the extreme. Away they dashed, first perhaps a little tenderly; but floding the boat extremely obedient the firm and sinew: muscles of the crew were brought into active requi- sition, The new boat scudded along in excellent ca bg in presence of three or four hundred spectators, who were but too anxious to behold the performance of the crew. ‘the test was an admirabie one, and after a siashing pull for about fifteen minutes the crew returned, expressing themselves highly de- lighted. Beyond question the trial resulted most satisfactorily, not only as regards the boat itself, but likewise in respect to the crew, who rowed much better than on the day preceding. It was evi- dent, however, that they did not “let themselves out,’’ to use the expression, but merely intended to try thelr new boat in as simple @ manner as possible. I 1s gratifying to know that they themselves were pleased, and nothing now remains but a vigorous piece of training prior to the event, all the while keeping “‘our own cook’ close at hand. The crew returned yesterday to the Astor House shortly aiter two o’elock, the rain having somewhat interfered with the pleasures of the day. ‘They entered their rooms and soon discussud their humbie though sub- stantial fare. That the Harvard crew have won the sympa Dy not only of all Americana who aamire pluck and dauntiess energy, but of their brother amateur oars- men in this city, was unmistakably evidenced at the Nassau Boat Club House, last night, Cordial and hearty in the extreme, the reception of the Har- vara crew displayed a thorough apprectation of the ae struggle at issue, The members of the Nassau joat Club, an organization of much enterprise, cer- tainly inferior to none in the country. were resolved not to part with their Harvard Iriends without a kind adieu, and to that end they gave a reception last evening worthy the occasion and the cause. No legs than ax boat clubs were fully represented, including the Vesper Ciub of oars ne Alcione, of Brooklyn; the Columbia, of New York; the Atalanta, ‘New York; Waverley, New York; Atiantic, Brookiyn, and a host of well known oarsmen. Towards eight o’ciock the club house was quite a lively and animated establishment, the popular strains of a good band adding not a little to the enlivenment of the occasion. The arrival of the Harvard crew was impatiently awaited and the hospitable tables of the club. were in readiness for their reception. About twenty minutes to ten o'clock a ringing cheer an- nounced their advent, and as the courageous and dashing looking oarsmen entered the club house they were greeted with a storm of applause. Presi- dent General Lloyd Aspinwall ved the guests on behalf of the club and delivered a brief but appro- priate and encouraging address, which, of course, ‘was hailed with much enthusiasm. Captain Loring, of the Harvard crew, modestly replied, wisely re- marking that he would defer his “noise” till after the race. which observation was the signal for anotuer burst of approbation. ‘The following gentlemen formed a very edicient Committee of Arrangements, fox, although the club house was crowded to excess, tue entire afair was characterized by the most com- plete harmony:—Measrs. J. B. White, ©. 5. ee . J. Smith, George Henry, John Greenough, W. FE Corre and J. A.Garland. And among the most prominent oarsmen present were Messrs, T. Fearon, of the Vesper Club; D. D. J. Truax, Joseph Benson, James Koberts, Dr. Withers, ex-Commoaore Brady, Hudson Amateur Rowing Association, and others. The reception was of a most sociable character, re- fiecting credit upon the Nassau Boat Club, and most signally Keeton tent the interest entertained in the coming contest with the Oxtora crew. The appear- ance of the Harvard men elicited general admira- tion, and it was generally observed that should defeat attend their efforts 1t would not be their fauit. Alter expressing their thanks for the manner in which they had been received the crew retired amid the warmest wisives for their success, not for- getting a rousing cheer. THE SCANDINAVIAN SOCIETY. Anniversary at Elm Park—Crowded Celebra- tion, ‘The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Scandinavian Society was held last night at Elm Park, corner of Ninety-second street and Eighth avenue. The cele- bration took the form of a picnic and midsummer night’s festival, and notwithstanding the rain which fell in torrents at midday the grounds were crowded with the members ofthe association and their friends. A Norwegian band, under the direction of Mr. Stene, was present and discoursed national Scandinavian airs, The dancing platform was profusely decorated with bunting, and principal among the flags were noticed the Stars and Stripes and the national flags of Den- mark, Norway and Sweden. At aneariy hour in the afternoon the assembled ladies and gentlemen betook themselves to the dancing platform and to the music of the band enjoyed themselves in pursuit of the “light fantastic.” At this time, however, the gathering was somewhat slim, but as the evening advanced fresh arrivals continued to pour in, and by nine o’clock the platform was fully covered by the happy couples who had come up to the Park in search of enjoyment. At this time the Park present- ed a bate picturesque appearance—the platform was brilliantly Uluminated by a thousand gas lights, and the trees and paths surrounding it were made bril- Mant by a namber of Chinese lanterns, which shed various colored rays over the scene of merriment. The greatest jollity prevailed at this time. Dance — followed nce = in quick —_succes- sion, and no sooner did the signal sound for 8 recommencement of the terpsichorean exercises near the platform was crowded with a whiriing, happ throng. Thus the fun became fast and furious until about ten o’clock, when the assembied formea into file and marched to where an Toom. entertainment guests the 80] excsoainay recherche repared. To this did ample Justice, and before they returned to the festivities of ‘the evening§ interesting speeches were made by the president and other members of the society. The pleasures of the dance were soon resumed, and the echoes of the music and of the merry laugh did not die away until the small hours of the morn- ing were rapidly merging into the larger. The whole affair Was one of the most pleasurable which has been hela this year, and when the termination came it caused many regrets in tne breasts of those who had participated in the celebration. ‘The Scandinavian Soctety numbers some 500 mem- bers, and 18 octal and benevoient in its objects, The officers of the present year are:—President, James D, Reyiflert; Vice President, John Weesman; Trea- G, Gabrielsen; Secretary, H. J. Hansen; Libra- arvesen. The rooms of the society are at d Third avenue. A gentleman pamed Frederick Saimsen, newly arrived, contributed much to the pleasure of the guests by his excellent singing.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. An Insane Woman Kills Her Mother-in- Law with an Axe. A terrible tragedy, which caused great excite- ment, occurred last night, about half-past eight o'clock, in the house of Mr. George B. Dean, No, 342 Weat Thirteenth street, Mrs. Rosanna Dean aa @aulted end almost instantly killed her husband's mother, Mrs, Susan Lameraux, while laboring under fn attack of insanity. Shortly after eight o’clock Mra. Dean, who had been acting and taiking rather strangely during the day, went up stairs as if going to the bathroom, and did not return for some time. When she came down again to where the family were sitting in the basement she spoke to a gentleman named Davis and told him to go up stairs and see what she had done. Mr. Davis immediately got up from his seat, but before he could ascend the stairs two of Mr. Dean’s children, ran before him up to their grand. mother's (Mrs. Lameraux’s) room, on the third floor. They found her lymg on a lounge at the side of the room, apparently insensible. Running down stairs again, they gave the alarm, when several per- sons ascended the stairs and entered the room where Mrs, Lameraux was lying. They found, to their un- speakable horror, that the old lady was in a dying condition, her pulse beating very slowly. A physi- clan was sent for on the instant, but by the ume he arrived life was almost extinct. At the frst glance it seemed that she had suffered no violence, no blood or wounds being visible. A closer examination, however, revealed the fact that she had sustained several severe biows with @ blunt instrument on the left breast and shoulders, and that a blow heavier than the others ict @ large dark mark over her coliar bone. Before any- thing could be done for her relief or any theory of the cause of her perilous condition could be formed in the minds of the spectators she expired without uttering a word. Word was sent to the Ninth precinct station to Captain Washoourne, who immediately sent ofticers to take charge of the premises and arrest all whom it might be considered were concerned in the tragedy. The officers found the old lady on the lounge, a8 described, and making Inquiries arrived at the conclusion that the deed of horror must have been committed by Mrs. Dean, and accordingly ar- rested her and brought her to the station. She was accompanied by her son, eldest daughter and hus- band, On entering the captain's private room, where Justice Dodge, representatives *of the press and other gentlemen interested were already assembled, she did not betray any alarm, or seem to realize in any manner what she had done. She was dressed very plainly, and her face wore an expression Of extreme dejection, but not that sadness which is born of an evil conscience. She did not notice any one in the room, and gave utterance to no expressions of surprise at being suddenly confronted by such a number of strangers. ‘She seemed to be about forty-five ms. of age. From the hurried atatement of Mr. Dean, his son, and the police ofMicers, it transpirea that Mrs, Dean had been laboring under insanity for the past six or seven years; that during that period she had, at intervals, exceeaingly bad spells, during which she gave vent to strange opinions respect- ing the conduct of Mr. Dean toward his children, whom she seemed to think he in- tended to wrong out of their property, and that at a late period, about four months ago, she threat- ened to herself with a rusty razor she had kept concealed in 3 drawer in her room. @#hen her insanity seemed to be at its height, some three months since, the physician who was called in to attend to her case warned the family that if ever she was visited by a similar attack she wouid have to be sent to the Insane Asylum. For the last three or four days her condition was the cause of consideravie anxiety, but no apprehension was felt that she would commit any violent act, She went out in the morning, it is said, to visit a station house—with what object could not be ascertained—and when on being asked on her return her business abroad re- plied evasively, and seemed much annoyed at being questioned, From the time she returned trom her walk until the discovery of the terrible deed she had spent the most of her time below stairs, No one can tell what sudden impulse impelled her to go up stairs and sacrifice the aged lady tn the man- ner described. After being brought to the station house dilligent search was made for the axe with which the murderous deed was sappoeet to have been accow- lishet,jand it was discovered ultimately in the iower part of the house. It bore no marks on the blade or head. The body of the murdered lady, who, it should have been stated, was seventy years of age and very decrepid, was laid on a bed in the mean- time and an officer was assigned to watch it until the inquest, which will be held this morning, takes lace. Mr. George 8. Dean, the son of the murdered lady, was formerly captain of the watch in the Custom House, and for some years past has been en; in the business of carter for several government warehouses. His family is quite respectable, and much sympathy is expressed by their many friends, among Whom this terrible event haa caused intense excitewent, MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES, Matinées, despite the sultriness of the atmosphere, still fourish in this perspiring wiiderness of brick and mortar. Although not quite so “thick as leaves in Vallambrosa,” mor even quite 60 numerous as two months ago, they are nevertheless sufficient ip number, variety and quality to satisfy the demands of our amusement loving citizens, The following matinées are announced for this afternoon:—‘Dora” and “Black-Eyed Susan'’ at Wallack's, ‘Enoch Arden” at Booth’s, “Oliver Twist’? at the Grand Opera House, “Hiccory Diccory Fox” at the Olympic, “The Wandering Jew'’ at Wood's Mu- seum, “West Lynne, or the Slopement” at the Thea- tre Comique, Ethiopian sketches and minstriesy at Bryant's, and minstrelsy and colored burlesque at Hooley’s Opera House, Brooklyn. Miss Susan Galton 1s giving a short season of Eng- lish opéra boule at the Boston Mfseum. The critics of the “Hub” praise Miss Galton’s singing and acting in a very laudatory manner; but find considerable fault, and very justly, too, with her company. If Miss Galton insists much longer in keeping such deadweignts attached to her skirts she will before long lose fger in the musical world, and the bril- liancy of her former lyrical achievements will be completely hidden by the duiness.,and gloom of her present surroundings. One prima donna never yet constituted an entire opera company, and Miss Gal- ton would do well to follow the example of Parepa- Rosa and Miss Caroline Richings, and reorganize her company for the approaching season before it is too late. The attempts to entice Thérsa from her Tasculum at Asni¢res are all in vain. Sne is determined to ming no thore. Théresa aspires to histrionic fame. r. Charles H. Morton, @ deserving actor and the original “Black Crook’? at Niblo’s, has been ten- dered a complimentary efit by the Caledonian Club, to come off at the The Francais on the 14th inst., Several well known professional ladies and ntlemen have volunteered their services, and Mr. orton himself will appear in @ leading rdle upon the occasion, ‘‘Rob Roy” will be the principal fea- ture of the entertainment. Sacramento of late has been suffering from a dearth of theatrical sensations. The cause of this is said to be in consequence of the climate en, a warmer reception to professionals than to the citi- zens of the capital of the Golden State. Mass Char- lotte Thompson, supported by a strong company, commences an ment in that city on next Monday evening, when she will endeavor to enliven the gloomy Sacramenwwese by treating them to a sea son of the legitimate drama. Miss Kate Reignolds last night personated the Angel of Midnight for the patient spinsters of Wor- cester. She Was supported by an itinerant Boston company and appeared during the piece in oniy “five different characters.” M. Pasdeloup, before leaving for Germany, ac- cepted the new opera in five acts of M. Victorin Joncieres, The subject of this opera is taken from Bulwer’s novel of “The Last Days of Pompeti,”” and will be entitled ydia."’ This will be the first re- presentation given at the Theatre Lyrique in sep- tember. The difference between the sham applause of the claqueurs, HOW practised at so many of our leading theatres, and the genuine applause of an apprecia- tive and delighted audience, is nightly exemplified at Wallack’s, where the hearty plaudits of admiring thousands ring out clear and unreserved with a spon- tanetty Which ts traly refreshing. Here the entire au- dignce joins in the manifestation of approval as a slight “reward to those upon the boards who have amused and instgncted them im the play, While at many other theatres the claqueurs, who are congregated in litte groups at the back of the louse, or are scattered here and there throughoui the au- dience, always manage to mar the best points and effects of the piece by applauding at the wrong ume, which generally so diggusts aud annoys the liberal patrons of the drama who happen to be in the house atthe tune that they do not applaud at ail, This manner of trying to force worthiess plays upon the public 1s doing more injury to our managers than they are willing to acknowledge. It is alike dts- gusting to the actor and the paying portion of the audience, and shouid be frowned down by all true lovers of dramatic art. Just so long, however, as It ts tolerated by an intelligent public, just ao long, and no longer, will It be fostered and liberally paid for by out managers, Oh, for a return of the good old days When hissing was tn vogue, that those rascally claqueurs might be made to know, and managers to understand, that they could not with tapuniy mar the pleasures and enjoyments of other peopie !
