SCRANTON (PA) BAPTIST CHURCH. “Weuching Discourse by Rev. Isaac Bevine on the Mining Disaster. SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 12, 1869, Rev. Isaac Bevins preached in the Baptist church ‘here to-day, from the text ‘And there shall be no more death.” (Revelations, xxl, 4) The -preacher said it seemed dificult vo Rnow what “the great God designed to teach us when He visited ‘es With affliction; batwe might rest assured that in His hidden designajthere were infinite wisdom and a salutary saving purpose, Like His eternal law, they were holy, great and good, and all His works mysterious proved. There is neither cruelty nor un- righteousness. The calamity that now occuples public attention and that has stirred the profoundest sympathy of the people everywhere throughout the Jand is one of those awful visitations that chastens the spirit of humanity; and, while teaching us the wneertainty of life, draws us nearer tn sympathy with our kind and purities the grossness of our mature. When the wives and childrep of the poor muners Of Avondale saw the flames bursting from the breaker of the mine only the great God -@ould realize the anguish of their thougnts. But what must have been the feelings of those be- reaved families when from the black and frightful Pit man man was brought forth in the sus, cold arms of death, no longer sensible to the heart breaking sobs that filled the air around—for alas! neither wife nor children more shall he behold, nor Mriends nor sacred home! Benevolence, sympathy or prayer canndt restore the dead husband to bis mouruing wife; but it can, at least, assuage the pang of grief and \ifta load of sorrow from the heart, and if it cannot strew the widow’s patn with Sowers, it may at least remove the thorns from her way. ‘Those who have not felt the sharp edge of domestic aMiction can litule realize the oe of sorrow chai fills the once happy homesteads of Avon- @ale. Death, indeed, has reaped a terrible harvest and taught an impressive lesson, in the contempia- tion of which the worldliness of men’s minds goes it from them and the soul is turned towards spiritual things, to the heavenly state, where there ‘will be no more death, and, if no more death, no more pain nor sorrow. Recommending the families -of the Avonaale miners to the charity of the congre- tion, the preacher concluded with an eloquent eulogium of the brave men who rescued the bodies fron. the mine. : YORKVILLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. ‘The Great Colliery Accident—Sermon by Rev. Jobn McNaughton, ‘The wideapread sympathy felt for the widows ana orphans and afflicted families of the victims of the Jate terrible calamity at the Avondale coal mine ‘was shown io the large congregation assembled last evening at the Yorkville Presbyterian church, in Bigbty-sxth street, to listen to a sermon by Kev. Mr. McNaughton, the pastor, After the usual preliminary exercises of reading the Scriptures, prayer and singing, the reverend speaker announced as the basis of bis discourse the text Luke xiii, 2—And Jesus answering said unto them, ‘Suppose ye that these Gallleans were sinners abuve all the Gallileans because they suffered such things?” These words ‘Were spoken by Christ as a rebuke to the velf-righteous Who congratulated themselves on Deing spared calamities betalling others. They were also intended to show that the eacape from calamity ‘was often a greater calamity than anything else. In the ordinary course of events calamities were the result of a breach of some law. The community ‘Was now universally excited upon the subject of tne ate fearful calamity at the coai mines at Avondale. Mt was gratifying to know that the first reports aa to the extent of the loss of life was greatly ex- epee ‘The number of the dead, which undoubt- ly embraced all the victims, was now set down at one bundred and eignt. ‘nis number almost sud- @enly, 80 to speak, had been snatched from vigorous ie, ‘in a moment they had been buried im 8 living grave. ‘The souls of these men had, without warnug, been summoued trom time into eternity. Wailing and sorrow of aay stricken hearts had followed the calamity. He id not deem it necessary to go into the detalis of the disaster. The elaborate accounts in tne daliy press during the past week had recited long inciaent and hypothesis connected with it. Reasouing from ‘We basis of the text this calamity must be regarded as the result of the breach of some law of (i government, The victims migut be the scapegoais of others—the sufferers from the sins of others. 1% ad been said that by the outiay of $10,000 another shaft might have been sunk, affording necessary ventilauion to the mine and safety to the miners. ‘The great calamity in the coal mine at Newcastle in 1862, by which 204 lives were lost, proceeded from the want of asecond shaft. Stephenson, the great engineer, called attention to the fact, and had the boldness to piace tne responsibility where it be- Jonged. If the same lack of caution could be shown in the present instance he hoped ‘the authors might be discovered and punished. It ‘was tame, be urged, that the cupidity of men and their grasping greed for gain sbould be punished as they deserve. Goa had taken the punishment in this case in His own hands. A tearful rebuke had been ‘given to man’s wrongdoing. There was no better fre in God’s government than this. The disas- r at Avondale showed the vindication of this prin- ciple. It had ever been thus since the dawn of -oreation; it would be thus while creation lasted. Passing from tnis branch of the subject he pro- nounced a glowing eulogium upon the brave men who risked their lives after the calamity became known in the attempt to rescue their buried com- panions. He imsisted that tne brave, hardy fellows ‘who went down that burning shalt into that char- nel house of the unburied dead showed a ter heroism than ever was shown on the fleid. It was this gleam of brightness, this brightness of huinaaity, this exhibition of unseifish- ness, of self-sacrifice, Laat cast a nobility over the gloomy disaster. Another thing that greatly served to hghten the disaster of its direst features was the wniversal sympathy exhibited for the families of the unfortunate victims. There were to-night ninety ‘wiiows and 109 orphans in Avondaie, made such by this terrible disaster. Everywhere sympathy was Zels for them and assistance cheerfully given them. As the Lord had given to them all, so he hoped they would contribute of their abundance to help alie- viate the wants of these widows and orphans. Alter the sermon, which Was most attentively Mstened to, a collection was taken up, and singing, prayer and benediction closed the exercises, CANAL STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHUICH, “Accident.”—The Avondale Mine | Fire— Sermon by the Kev. David Mitchell, At the inorning service in the Canal street Presby- terian church yesterday the Rey. David Mitchell, Pastor, preached a sermon on the subject of accident,” having reference to the Avondale mine @re, taking his vext from the Goapel of St, Luke Kill,, 25—“Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all Galileans because they suffered such things? I tell you nay.” After alluding to the Givers circumstances under which men are placed, ‘abe reverend gentieman referred in feeling tetms to the calamity. at the Avondale mine. ‘the men descended into the pit to perform their alloted task descended nevermore to come to the freedom of light, to meet an awful grave. Thus were life and death in this world strangely commingled. In the matdst of there was war. When one heard the Joyous laugh he may be prepared to see the bitter tear Jollow guickiy, The world was fuil of sin and misery. When life is contemplated it was desirable to know the cause of such disasters as that wi + hhad just startled the community. The aggravate » @vil is the result of sin, but it would be wrong to consider that any person died from bis own in rticular, Because @ man came by @ violent death did not indicate that he was guilty of any crime, _ Jt was too frequently the case when one suffered Vthat men held the finger of contempt toward hin wand said pe got what he deserved. Indeed Were was too much of that spirit among ywen who not unfrequently concluded that because bien were prosperous they were favored by heaven. ‘TNat, however, was contrary to the command of Jevus Christ, who commended to all men to sympa- thive with sorrow and suffering. The important ‘Wiew of the subject which was commended ior con- sideration was that there was decidedly no such as accident. The word “accident” was @ \ qe to draw @ human distinction between ‘gA hose reguite that came—we knew how, and for which wale anes eee be found, and those ve, ¥ bv ay willy ee anit For instance, would accldent—we would term , fering pun‘ehment; but there were many dings we ng fra not cM) punishment, because we did not ji | ham upon Ourselves of our own will.

Accident imp|: sol by chance that nol ie yal pousibly be avoided, "it foresee oF that could, ot ‘was nothing but the violation ‘of the laws of God. It was a vioiation of law in some form that brought about railway accidents, the destruction of our fel- low betngs im death, ruin, sorrow and suffering. It Was the same in the tual world. The disregard God's laws brot upon the world ruin and spiritual death. But there was @ distinction to be drawn in the violation of those laws, inasmuch as many violated them aks ignorance and others by wilful negugence. .Most of the suffering that came upon mankind and of which we read from day to day occurs through ignorance. It was lamentable to contempfate, to consider that men place their hives in the hands of thelr fellow beings, whose jorance very often is the cause of their death, while many others are destroyed through complete carelessness. indeed, such was the history of most of the disastrous rail- way accidents. The Avondale mine calamity was & subject for serious contemplation. The miners went to their work after a long and weary strike. They descended to the coal caverns to excavate the fuel which was to promote our comfort during the vo. season, but not one of them was leit to tell the tale of their destraction. After dweiling at some length upon the uncertainty of life the rev- erend gentlemen paid a high tribute to the heroism and self-sacritice of the brave men who descended to rescue thelr fellow beings, and concluded with an urgent appeal for the destitute widows and orphans of the sufferers. A collection, which is to remain open one week, was then commenced, alter which the proceedings were brought to a close. PLYMOUTH CHURCH, BROOKLYN. The Coal Mine Disaster—Collection for the Sufferers. At the above church, yesterday, sermons were preached in the absence of the pastor, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, by Mr. Willcox, of New London, Conn. In the morning reference was made to the late mine calamity at Avondale by the reading of a circular, @ copy it which had been sent to all the churches in the State. ‘The Rev, Mr. Halliday, of the Five Points Mission, addressed the congregation previous to the collec- ton, —— he could assure those present that their contributions would be wisely and judiciously appropriated. He personally knew the treasurer of the fund, and he was assured that good juagment and a prudent liberality would characterize the dis- pensation of this charity. The calamity had calied forth the practical sympathy of all ciasses of society and he bad the fullest confidence that Plymouth church would manifest its usual lberality on so mournful an occasion, About $300 were then taken up. Mr. Beecher is expected to return about the latter end of this month and will preach in this church on the last Sunday in September. CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PATERNITY. Reopening Services Yesterday—Scrmon by Rev. Dr. Chapin. Rey. Dr. Chapin, after enjoying his summer vaca- tion in the country, opened the services in this church yesterday morning, @ large and fashionable con. gregation being present on the occasion. The reverend gentiemen (ook for text of his discourse St. Mark, iv., 24, as follow: ‘And jHe said unto them, take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it small be measured to you, and unto you ‘that hear shail more be given.” ‘The preacher said that the text contained an in- juncuion and a jaw—an injunction founded upon a iw. In the first place, then, let us consider the law. ‘‘With what measure ye mete, it shall be mea- sured to you.” ‘This assertion 18, in substance, re- peated at least three times in the Gospels, and each time it is illustrated in a different way. In the Gos- pel ot Matthew it 13 applied to the case of uncharita- ble judgment. “Judge not, that ye be not judged,’’ says Jesus, “for with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.’” In Luke, on the other hand, it 1s ved with acts of beneticence and generosity. ve, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom. For with the same meagure ye mete withal it ‘shall be measured to you again.” And in the sentence before Ue as we see, it is involved with the act or faculty of hearing, and has immediate reference to the parables of Jesus, one of whick—the parable of the sower—had just been spoken. In this respect, ‘tuen, the deciaration contained in the text assumes the character of a general principle or law. It is capable of divers applications. it is illustrated in Various phases of human life and conduct. Though it nas often been said before, then Jet it be proclaimed again, that the law contained in the text 18 a friendly and united law—the law of physical and mental, of social and spiritual —— After some further illustration the reverend gen- tleman said the injunction, as it appears in tue text, rests upon this law—the injunction which here gives occasion for the assertion of this law, ‘Take heed what ye hear.’’ This was an injunction to those who atened to the parables of our Saviour to attend to them in such a manner as to catch their tone, their spiritual import, In order todo this they must exert their attention to hear, they must have the disposi- tion to hear, and thus hearing more would be given them, more than the mere words, more than the simile, even the pregnant germ and element of trutn which the simile enclosed. In conclusion he touched on the recent coal mine disaster and other calamities with which the coun- try had been afflicted within the past few weeks, and commented on the wisdom of the Almighty in permitting such things to happen in order that hu- manity as a whole might be chastened and made to Jee] His power. MISCELLANEOUS RELIGIOUS SERVICES, ST. PETER'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH Feast of the Holy Name of Mary—Sermon by the Rev. Father Farrell, of Montreal. At the venerable edifice on Barclay street—the home of Catholicity while in its infancy in this city— there assembied yesterday a large and devout con- gregation at the several masses. The last, or high Mass, was celebrated by the Rev, Father John Quinn, while the reverend pastor, Rev. Fatner William Quinn, occupied ® seat at the right of the sanctuary. Immediately alter the Gospel in the mass had been recited the Rev. Father Farrell, of Montreal, ascended the altar Sceps aud read a number of the usual notices. He \uen read the Gospel of the day—Luke 1, 26-38— ‘and proceeded to deliver a glowing and well finished discourse on tne name and influence of the biessea Virgin and the veneration due to her ae the mother of God. He commenced by saying that on this day the Church celebrated the feast of the holy name of ary, the mother of God, the only name which, next to that of Jesus, the Church proposes to the veneration of her children, The immediate occa- sion of the establishment of this feast was the vic- tory of the Christians over the Turks at Vienna. All the Christians were applied to to invoke Heaven and to ask to intercede with her Divine Son to save the world from falling under the yoke of the Mussuiman. The name itself, he said, may not have any peculiar connection with the position Mary was destined to hold; it may, as is often tne case, have been given by chance, but we tind occasions wherein God bestowed on sume of his favored children names which significa his inten- tons in regard to them and their missions. We find the names of Abram and uis wile, and aiso of Jacob, changed by God, with peculiar significance. In the New Testament we tind that He changed the name of Simon to Peter, indicating by the name the change of destiny he was about to make. St. John Was especially nkmed by an ange) sent by God, and it is safe to presume that the name was given to the destined mother of God as well as to nis precursor. ‘The reverend orator then went on to explain the significance of the various meanings of the name Mary. It signified, he said, “Star of the Sea,” “A of bitterness” and ‘Queen of Angeis."’ He com- pared Mary to Mary the wife of Moses, who was placed by the prophet over the women ot [sraci after the passage of the Sea, when ali those who were saved chanted the psaim in honor of the work of God in their deliver: and the destruction of their enemies and pursu: He drew a beantitul silegory of the eo kos of the Blessed Virgin and her reception into heaven by the cherabim and seraphim, and her crowning as the Queen of Ang He adjured his hearers in their moments of 4: r or despondency to unite the names of Jesus and Mary and call on them for aid, and concluded py praying that when their souls were about to wing their way from earth they would forth pro- nouncing the uames of Jesus and Mary, and that they might be united with tuem torever io the king- dom of neaven, CHURCH OF THE HEAVENLY REST. Sermon by Rev. T. K. Conrad. This beautiful littie charch was reopened for public Worehtp yesterday morning, after being closed doring the summer months. Already decorated with much splendor, it has been much improved since the spring. Many-colored coronas for gas have been hung, stained windows have been added and the caps of the marble pillars covered with illustrations of scriptural fruits and flowers, executed in the highest style of art. One of the new features is a mas- sive baptismal font of Caen stone, gcse and variegated. The altar has aiso been handsomely refitted, These alterations and improvementa have made the interior of the Church of the Heavenly Rest one of the hatidsomest on this continent. With the clique who affect a desire to see a monarchy es- tablished on the ruins of the republic it shouid be very popular, for it is the nearest approach to a “chapel royal’? in New York. It 18 # beautiful church and @ magnificent anomaly. To thore in- ee pF vd ener decorations it is well orth 11s situated c Svenue and Forty-nitth street. bolero thedieabi The Rev. Dr. T. K.

Preaching was an ordinance of the Om irch and should be heid geet in impor- tanoe to tik? sacraments, Ia God's Word and in the history of the Church from the earliest pe- riod the = areas perience = of = prenching was folly shown, Onr Saviour was @ bmg besre eget to preach as much to suffer. is matchless words of heavenly wisdom were addressed to and into ‘the hearts he also others to preach, and so estabilshed the ordinance. ‘When the puipita are silent the strict observance of the sacraments and public worship will not keep away error. It 18 unfortunately the case tat modern preaching falls dead on the ears of the con- gregations. People are indifferent, callous and often It ig the old, old story which we have childhood. The Word as it should be, a saving death unto life, but death nnto death. ‘The fault lies as much with the people as with the ‘ners, although most of the latter are opel to criticism and are severely criticised, But what would we think of a condemned criminal whe would refuse to hear his pardon or accept it because the lengeage of it was not the most classic or elegant in form? ‘The pardon of the Almighty 1s prociatined from the pulpit; but it 18 unheeded frequently for no other reason than because the preacher is not elo- quent or happy in his mode of expression. The reverend gentlemen brought bis sermon to a close by an eloquent exhortation. SPIRITUALISM. Lecture at Cooper Institute—Exhibitions by 2 Medium—A Noisy and Dissatisfied Audience. AD audience of about 200 persons assembied at Cooper Institute last evening, attracted by the announcement that Clair R. De Evere would lecture on Spiritualism and “give such manifestations a8 will settle the great question of another life forever.” At the entrance to the lecture room a bulletin was displayed setting forth the powers of the lecturer, and stating that ‘‘no contributions less than twenty- five cents would be received.” A doorkeeper refused admission to those who did not contribute, and a strong-lunged individual harangued im the doorway respecting the performance to be given inside, stat- ing to each group of new arrivals that thousands of dollars had been expended for churches and schools to teach what only could be learned at this lecture, Miss De Evere appeared upog the rostrum at eight o'clock, and was introduced by a gentleman who disclaimed all connection with the affair, and an- nounced the subject of the lecture to be “Where Are the Mighty Dead?” ‘whe discourse of the lady had evidently been previously committed to memory, and consisted of assertions, unaccompanied by any attempt at ereumere hee the apostles of the Bible were simply spiritual mediums influenced by the spirit of our Saviour; that the miracles were spirit- ual manifestations; that the true interpretation of our Saviour’s teachings meant Spiritualism, and that the world in rejecting tnis doctrine was reject- ing Christ and His followers no less than the Jews. ‘The lecture was of about half an hour's duration, and ‘concluded with references to mediums tn Ohi- cago and elsewhere who had personated the spirits Eagar A. Poe, 5! apeare and Thomas After finishing her discourse the lady descended from the platform and proceeded to give persons in the audience a description of the appearance of triends that had died, and who, she said, were de- seribed through her by the spirit of a little girl that could not speak Engilsh well, and who was acquainted with the spirits referred to in the conversations. ‘The medium as- sumed the tone and manner of a child whenever she professed to give manifestations, talking to those who admitted her statements to be correct very much as 8 five year old talks to anew doll; but when interrupted by puzzling questions or requests by the audience come out of the circle of the front seats her manner and retorts did not correspond with the generai idea respecting the amlability of the blessed. The audience finally became quite noisy, several gentiemen atatime demanding that the medium should pot confine herself to a select few. A policeman who was present undertook to eject one mau, but the audience interfered, and msisted that the medium should comply with his request to give him some manitestation from his uncle. After considerable delay and confusion the medium took up his case, and gave a description of the uncle and his condi- tion in the other world. The gentleman, on being called upon by the audience for a report, stated that he “had but one uncle, and he was alive and hearty.” The medium confining her mani- festations principally to @ few old ladies im the front seats, the expressions of dissausfaction produced such confusion that the gentlemen on the platform proposed a termina- tion of the performances. The sudience insisted, however, upon @ more satisfactory evidence of apir- itual manifestations; but not being gratified, the confusion was renewed and the performances brought toaclose, The ‘mighty dead’? were not referred to at all in the lecture, and the manifesta- tions consisted wholly of descriptions of the phyai- cal characteristics of friends of individuals with whom the medium conversed. A few per- sons admitted the statements of the medium to be correct in their cases; but most of the experiments were very unsatisfactory to the audience, which claimed that the medium confined her operations among the Spiritualists fide and could not give any manvestations to a disinterested person. THE CARRILON OF BELLS IN BUFFALO. Services by Bishop Ryan. BUFFALO, Sept. 12, 1869. ‘The carillon of bells manufactured in France for St. Joseph’s Cathedral, in this city, having been mounted 10 the tower of the edifice, large crowds of citizens of all denominations assembled at the cathedral and filled the neighboring streets, to listen tothe first performance of the bells, forty-three in number and the third largest chimes in the world. ‘They are worked by a keyboard, and discourse beau- tiiui_ music.

A dispute arose on Saturday afternoon about a game of bililards at the Bay Shore House between Charley Devine and several other parties, and after some angry Words Charley was set upon and roughly hand- led by three of the party. As soon as he had party disengaged himself from their clutches he had a hand to hand encounter with Thomas Breen and a furious Oght ensued. They clutched and fell, and while on the ground Charley's nose was nearly bitten off by h.s antagonist. Chief of Police Keenan soon after appeared on the scene and arrested Breen, who was brought before the Recorder and held to bail for trial. Warrants were issued for the arrest of the other assailants, Hackensack. Tus HARTMANN Case.—The verdict of the jury in the case of Mrs. Ellen Hartmann, tried on the cuarge Of killing Mrs. Baumann at Fort Lee, was considered so unsatisfactory that the Court granted the motion for a new trial. Counsel for the prisoner submitted atidavites foe ti, that new witnesses can be pro- duced whose testimony will rene affect the case in favor of the prisoner. Alt jer. the ver- dict was not at ail in consonance with the Judge's charge. Two wealthy gentlemen residing rt Lee have offered bail for the prisoner to any amount fixed by the Court. Passaic Bridge.

At halt-past six o’clock last evening, during a street brawi in the Ninth ward, a stabbing affray occurred that is likely to be fol- lowed by fatal results. From tne statements of the Ninth police precinct, Captain Washburn, it appears that about the hour named an alterca- tuon—to use police parlance—occurred ta Christo- Dher street, near West street, in which James Doran, of No. 11 Fifth street, and James McQuillan, of Watts street, participated. In the fight it ie alleged Doran stabbed McQuitian in the right side with @ large ciasp knife, inflicting a dangerous wound, The injured man was attended by a sur- geon and gent to Bellevue Hospital. The blade pene- trated the peritopinm and 4 portion of the intestines exudes from the wound, butas no abrasion took place it t# hoped that the stapbing may not prove fatal. Doran was arresied by oMmcer Rector and locked up in the Charles street station house. He makes an entirely different statement of the affair from that furnished by the police and the injured man. Doran states that while re- turning from Hoboken last night, with some friends with whom he had spent the day in the Elysian Fields, he met a number of young men on the river road, who were speaged in bantering with a native of the Celestial Empire for the sale of his wi Which consisted of cigars. Alarge portion of his stock had already been con- Oncated, when they refused to reimburse him. Anx- ious to protect the Chinaman, in view of an early and large emigration of natives of the ‘Flowery Kingdom,” he interfered in his behalf and struck one of the party who had ren- dered himeelf prominent in the quarrel,’ a moment after Doran struck the man, whose name was unknown to him, the friends of the party who had the trouble with the Chinaman formed an ambuscade at the ferry, for the purpose of inter- cepting his departure for New York. He passed, however, unobserved through the pickets and ards, but waa recognized on the boat, where the quarrel was renewed and his life threatened. He further states that a friend accompanied him and saw him safely through the lines of ti the arrival of the boat at Christoph aide, his triend communicated with @ policeman on duty at the ferry. The oMcer declined to interfere. Doran and his friends pro- ceeded towards Greenwich street, followed by the roughs, who employes most disgusting fo sgead lowards them, At the corner of Chrigto- pher and West streets a colision occurred, and Doran, while admitting that ne struck as msay of his oppo- nents as he could, possitively denies having used a J knife. The case will come before Jusuce ae at SeRCTROR Markel Hija in axping, EPTEMBER 13, 1869. PARAGUAY. Condition of the Country—Minister McMahen’e Departure and His Treatment by the Allied Forces—The Importance of the Maintenasce of the Independence of Parnguay. Paris, August 30, 1869. ‘The news received by the steamer which brought Minister McMahon to Europe respecting affairs in La Plata contradict those which the allies have con- stantly circulated of their pretended victories and of the critical situation of Paraguay. Itis now positively known that the position of Marshal Lopez in the Cordilieras is very strong, and that the Paraguayaa chief has still suificient ele- ments to sustain the defence of the republic. The Paraguayan nation ig now, more than ever, decided to defend her independence and liberty against the invasion of the Brazilian monarchy. General McMahon was very badly recetved by the Bragilians on his passage through the allied lines. His escort, composed of some ten or twelve Para- guayan officers of distinction, bringing a white flag of truce, was charged by the Brazilian cavalry, not- withstanding that General McMahon had previously informed the+Count d’Eu, General-in-Chief of the allied army, of his coming. ‘The news is now confirmed that the United States Legation at Assumption haa been sacked by the Brazilian troops when they entered that abandoned city, The Brazilian soldiers appropriated to them- selves the large sams of money and the furniture which were deposited in the building occupied by the American Legation. This act has naturally aroused @ grave difficulty, which is still pending between the Cabinet of Wasbingvon and the govern- ment of Brazil. President ee in answer to the farewell speech of Minister McMahon, expressed tus grief to see him leave Pi before the end of the war. In fact, the presence of a diplomatic representative of the United States in ay hag not for its mere object the personal protection of nis Excellency Marshal Lopez; he is a sentry charged to watch over five reas interests in America, which run the great- est danger in Paraguay at this moment. The in- tereats referred to are:— First—The republican principle, threatened by the growing preponderance of the Brazilian mon- arcny. Second—The principle of free navigation of the tributaries of the river Plate threatened by the pre- mnderance of countries which pretend to succeed Spain and Forage in the mc OBO of that naviga- tion, The American treaty of July, 1853, stipulates that the freedom of the La Plata and Amazon rivers, has been proclaimed by Buenos Ayres and Brazil, and they have not as yet adhered to it. Third—'The existence of the republic of Paraguay, which serves as @ natural liberty; because without that liberty the existence of Paraguay as an independent State would be im- boy Paraguay, understanding this fact, was e first to initiate the fluvial liberty by treaties, which she signed in March, 1863, not only with such mverine powers a8 Brazil wished and still desires, bed (ad with the great maritime Powers of America an Fourth—The seogra nical and political equilib- riam among republ fean countries and the empire of Brazil, which threatens them through the mate- rial Cite | derived from her monarchical cen- tralization, The fall of Paraguay would leave the Brazilian crown in direct possession of ail the coun- tries of the river Plate. Fifih—The American Monroe doctrine, threat- ened by reconstruction of the Brazilian empire with new territories snatched away from tne neighbor- ing republics, and with a new prince taken from Europe, because the Emperor has no male heir born in America, It is public and notorious that a French prince has to succeed him tn virtue of which the qué tion called that of Paraguay, and which, in reality, ia the question of the reconstruction of the empire of Brazil, re-established on another corner of America, all the offensive features of the Mexican question, which, it is thought, already resolved on the princt- ie of American laws and in favor of republican utions. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. From the report made at the Central Police Omce at three minutes after twelve o’clock this morning it appears that last nignt James Griffin, aged twenty-four years, dwelling at No, 51 Ludlow street, was run over in Peck slip, near South street, by @ Second avenue car, and received & very severe fracture of the spine and severe wounds in the nen ofthe leg. His arm and the lower part of his body were also paralyzed. He Was attended by a surgeon of the Fourth precinct, who ordered him sent to Bellevue Hospital. EUROPEAN MARKETS.
