EUROPE. General Sickles Presenting His Note in Madrid. What He Said of Cuba and the Furor Which He Excited. Tho Spanish Exiles Escaped from Fernando Po in Ireland. ‘The Inman steamship City of Boston, Captain Hal- @rew, from Liverpool the 9th and Queenstown the 26th inst., arrived at this port at an early hour yes- terday morning. ‘The Cunard steamship Scotia, Oaptain Judxins, from Liverpool the tith and Queenstown the 12th imat., arrived at this port yesterday morning. Both these vessels landed our special European eorrespondence and newspaper mail reports, in com- plete detatl of our cable telegrams to the day of gatl- mg ot the Scotia from Engiand. Lora Lifford writes a letter for the purpose of showing that no analogy exists between the condi- tions under which the Prusstan land settlement was effected and the existing state between landlord and tenant in Ireianad, and contends that the principle of ‘the settlement cannot be effected in Ireland. Lord Mifford admits that the Irish tenant has exceptional claims to protection, arising from the fact that he Makes all those improvements which the landlord Mnvariably executes in England, but would confine the change in the law to securing the occupier in any outlay to which the landlord has not poattively ‘@bjecied. ‘The Rey. Francis Trench contributes to the Byron @entroversy. Ho protests against Mrs, Stowe’s dis- @losure Of the horrible secret, but does not impugn ta troth, Mr. Trench is quite sure that to Lady Noel Byron this publication would have been most e onable, He says:— It 1g desirable to obviate the impresion that Mrs, her Stowe was anything like an exclusive or even a rare depository of the statement which she has made, 80 as to obtain any titic to publication on this account. At many successive periods Lady Noel Byron had fully stated the cause of her separa- ‘ion to many of her relatives and inumate friends, But in all these inetances she Knew whom she could trast; and, #0 far as 1 know, not one of tnem, much to their honor, judgment and propriety, has broken that profound silence and secrecy which, so far as the public is coucerned, should have been continued forever. The case of the Countess d’Alteyrac was again Drought before the Court of Bankruptcy, London, in the form of an application to take the matter out of @t court, The lady, who is described a3 Junia Maria @Alteyrac, commonly known as the Countess d’Al- teyrac, otherwise Willoughby, of no occupation, was made bankrupt on her petition about dve months ago, and being in custody at the time, her release was granted chiefly on the ground of iliness. Assignees have since been chosen and accounts Med showing debts of £5,973, against which she eatimates the present value of her annuity at £50,000, The principal creditor in amount fa stated to be M, Longchams, a son-in-law of the bankrupt, who makes a claim on her of up- Wards of £2,600, A resolution was submitted to the Creditors to the effect that the assignecs should re- ecive the annuity of £1,200 a year, the lady to con- tinue in the receipt of £100 a month penalty so long ae it should be payable; and on its ceasing to be 60 the annuity to be equally divided between her and the assignees; this arrangement to continue until the debts are paid in full; and the bankruptcy to be annulled on the execution of the usual deed. After Gebate the resolution was withdrawn until the next sitting; and it was ordered that the Countess should receive an allowance of £30a month. The Countess ‘Was present during the proceedings, and was brieny examined respecting one or two disputed proofs; but the details were uninteresting. ‘The Zastern Budget states that money is (Septem- ber 8) exceedingly tight on the Vienna Exchange, owing to heavy payments and speculation. A great fail has been experienced in those shares which have been driven to a high artificial premium. Gov- ernment funds ana other solid securities have been Mttle affected. The panic continued. ‘The directors of the National Bank of Vienna msued a note to the following effect:— A conference has been held between the represent- atives of the Anglo-Austrian Bank, the Crédit Movi- Her, the Discount Society of Lower Austria, and the National Bank, to consider the position of the money market. The directors of the National Bank having explained the state of their affairs at the close of Augusy, stated that they Would continue to increase thelr reserve of notes, with the sole object of re- Neving the pressure on trade aad iudusiry. Usually they are unwilling to multiply their notes for any object whatever, and even now they would only do #o with great caution. The London Shipping Gazette publishes the fol- lowing remarks on the opening of the Suez Canal:— ‘The London Herald observes that many people have taken an unfavorable view of the chances of mavigation m the Suez Canal. It is urged that the ‘Wave created by the passage of a large vessel through a narrow channel whl be very destructive to the banks; that avery low speed only will be found possible, aud thatthe consiant attention of the dredging machines, no matter how diligently eo Fe employed, Will fail to maintain @ regular and uniform depth of water. The genius and per- severance whic have triumphed over difficulties eciarea to be insuperable—which have found s0- Yutions one by one forall the multitudinous em- Datrassments which arose during the progress of the work—may well be expected to defeat the smaller troubles which may oppose themselves to the successiu! navigation of the canal now that is made, Stiilit would ve useless to expect that this an be done all at once, tuat every dilemma which May arise when large vesseis begin to use the canal can al) be foreseen from the first. Vessels must face @ ceriain amount of risk while the passage of the ‘sethbmus is & novelty, risk no? of wreck or disaster of an overwhelming character, but of delay and expense.

It represented Sefior Olozaga leading the Duke forward and pointing out to him the empty throne, over which, after the story of Damocles, there is a swora suspended by a hair. ‘The Prince is in the attitude of eyeing it througn ao giass and remarking, “Yes, it is very pretty, but for wy part I don’t like upholstery with such hangings.” The Right Hon. John Bright has addreased the fol- lowing letter to Mr. L, Kaberry, of Rochdale, on the subject of free trade:— I thank you for the newspaper. There are knaves in the world, and there are simpletons, and the one Class preys Upon the other. The tory party is always driven to these tricks, ‘They cannot otherwise appeal to the multitude. If they complain that too many customs’ duties have been repealed, they will, per- aps, kindly tell the workinginen what daties they will’ put on again. it the duty on corn or cattle, or do they wish a duty on im cotton? If a foreigner will not buy cheaply from us will it mend the matter if we refuse to buy cheaply from him or from some other foreigner?

It is more colton We want, and not more taxes on imports. I sus- pect the people of Laucasiire will noc fail to under- stand this, The London Post observes that Mr. Bright shares King Soloman's impatience of fools, with this dif- ference—that Mr. Bright's fools are rather a more Humerous class, since they are everybody who does mot agree with him, and that his impatience is there- fore all the greater. Mr. Bright is aware that ‘besides fools there are knaves in the world; but it would seem that, having smashed all his opponents up into heaps in the first category, he has nobody left whom he cares to put in the second, and the consequence ia thatin the letter which he has just written ho produces the painful !mpreasion that while he is very angry indeed with fools who write pamphlets in Bedlam, he has no anger left for the knaves who prey upon them.’’ A gloomy report on the moral condition of Lan- cashire hag been submitted to the magistrates in annual general session at Preston, England.

Mr, Gladstone, sojourning at Raby Castle, deferred his visit to Whitby, and has been represented at that borough by Mrs, Gladstone with her son and daugh- ter. An address was presented to the wife of the Premier by the Workingmen’s Society and the Registration Bociety of Whitby. These joint bodies congratulated the head of the government on the success of his administration, with special refer- ence to the Irish Church act, The Corporation of Clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland, adaressed the Premier also. The Aldermen and Coaneilors are thankful for the Irish Church act, bat likwise mpressed with the necessity for a settle- ment of the relations between landlord and tenant. Mr. Cave, M. P. for Barnstaple, England, gives a more detailed expla.ation of his connection with the Alpert Assurance Company. He became a share- holder in 1353, and shortly afterwards a local director. It seems that directors get their informa- tion touching the state of the company with which they are connected from without, for Mr. Cave says that ‘rumors impeaching the soundness of the office were conveyed to us.” Stirred by these reports Mr. Cave and otners made inquiries, and soon ‘discov- ered and reported what we considered to be errors of the gravest kind in the principles on which capital had been dealt witn, annuities granted and divi- dends paid, and that its general expenditure for the previous year had exceeded fifty per centof its income.’? Mr. George Hudson, ex-railway king of England, has been provided for. Tho recent appeal in his favor resulted in subscriptions amounting to £4,000, with which an annuity of £620 has been purchased. The number of paupers in London in the fourth week of August was 127,207, of whom 33,368 were inmates of unions and 94,049 outdoor poor.

SPAIN. General Sickles? Despatch to the Ministry— What the Note Said of Cuba—The Spanish Faror—Will Riso “as One Man”—Iron- Clads, Thousands of Troops and War— Sickies Very Cool—Qucen Isabelia’s Inter- est in the Island. Manrip, Sept. 9, 1869. Without having seen the despatch of General Sickles, which was sent to the Ministry or State on Saturday last, your correspondent has seen another person connected with the Department who has seen it, and without pretending to know more than he docs know. if his memory and eyesight of the following is @ reliable version of the diplomatic document which has caused such @ furor m Madrid. General Sickles sent a note on Satarday after. noon to the State Department here stating ‘that his government had requested him to communicate to the Spanish government that the state of public opimion in America was go strong in favor of Cuba that it would be extremely aiMcult to withhold much longer the recognition of the Cubans as bellig- erents, Furthermore that if the war in that island continued that for humanity’s sake i¢ would be in- cumbent upon the United States government to take immediate steps towards the recognition of the belligerency of the Cubans. The reports from Cuba from special agents were of so serious a nature that duty to humanity compelled the government to take this course.’? ‘ Here we have as good an account of General Sickles’ despatch as if the General himself had far- nished the HERALD with s copy of it, and in a more compendious and comprehensible form. The ex- citement consequent upon its appearance has not abated in the least. All classes are hetng stirred, if not to action, to the encouragement of each other to make a more aetermined effort to the reduction of the Cubans to obedience to tue mother country. Stix thonsand men Will leavo in a few days for Cuba, anda farther number of 14,000 is spoken of as pro- bably bound for the same destination, La Politica, Serrano's organ, speaks ia this wise of Sickles’ note:—“But if General Grant is working thus unconstitutionally and has given directly these instructions to General Sickles with the intention of annihilating the Spanish flag, entire Spain will rise as one man to protest, with the energy of glorious times, agaiast these intimations, No; we will hear nothing of emancipation. in such a way. No; nothing of ceasion. No; nothing of abandonment, Meantime, while we prepare fitting response to this Yankee note, our fron-clad fleet must instantly prepare to sail for the waters of Caba with 20,000 men on board, while all who can bear arme on the peninsula will hold themselves in readiness to march to Cuba ata moment's notice. ‘The sons of the {illustrious warriors who conquered the New Worid will show tue Yankeo government that they will not abandon Cuba except with honor to their beloved flag; that they will fight as becomes the Iberian race, 1t matters not against whom or against how many. Before this force, before this grand demonstration of power, the revellion will be speedily extivguished, and the United States shall see how Spain will treat oMicious aad insolent inter- ferenco.”” ‘The Iberian organ of the Council of State thus again:—‘General Grant, to-day President of the United States, in view of these reports may take to memory the gentlemanly procedure of Spain during the Jate clivii war im America, who alone of the nations in Burope knew how to preserve tie most exquisite neutrality, and tn the same way we feel inclined to believe that the American govern- ment will worthily correspond, What favoravie con- ditions have the Cuvaus for this interference of America’ None. ‘The army—and we must be pardoned for calling 16 one—is ve. ther discipilaed HOF nunierous, nor was ever found ina eondition to meet the Spanish army face to face in the fleld. What battles have the Cubrns gained? What cities nave they taken? Under what walis have their arms triampued. Nobody can anawer.’’ La Correspondenvia, ki Pueblo, El Certamen, Fl Centiurlo del Pueblo, the Opinion Nacional, &c., are very be!lipotent and do not content themseives with doubting the exisience of the letters ad ZU Imparctal, but excite tie masses to meet, to assem- ble inallthe plazas for a mutual understanding upon the course Spain should follow, General Sickles understands diplomacy to always reticent and guarded, to answer questions of correspondents vaguely, apparently noconcerned or unaware that ne had W1 m any very great and important despatch, and the members of the Lega- tion preserve the same commendable reserve. From the Legation nothing can be gleamed. Minister Koveris has written a letter to his gov- ernment that he gees signs of danger tn the Oubaa horizon; that, in fact, Cuba is all but lost if the gov- ernment of Spain will not immediately despatch 10,000 more men to Caballero de Rodas, ithe Jeadella, wt is rumor has offered to cede Cuba to the United States if that government on ite part will undertako to rescind its recogaition of Scr.

Lord Wentworth’s Letter. By mail from Europe come quite a number of letters on the subject of the Byron “scandal” case. The following are interesting. Lord Wentworth, the grandson of Lady Noel Byron, and the only surviv- ing son of the Ear) of Lovelace, has addressed the following letter to the Pall Malt Gazette:— In your number of September 3 you say that Mrs. Stowe 1s 4 flagrant offender against proprieties, be- cause my sister and I are sup) to have intended to publish correspondence ting to Lord and Lady Land conjugal differences, Now. supposing Mrs. Stowe’s narrative to nave been really a ‘true story,” and that we had meant to reveal the whole of our grandmother's history, I do not see what defence that is to Mrs, Stowe against the charge of repeat- ing what was told her in a ‘private, confl- dential conversation.” But it is not true that Lady Anve Blunt and I ever intended to publish correspondence of the nature mentioned. About three years ago @ manuscript in Lady Noel Byron's handwriting was found arong her papers, giving an account of some circumstances connected with her marriage, and apparently intendea for pub- ication after her death; but as this seemed not quite certain, no decision as to its publication was come to. In the event of amemoir being written, this manuscript might, perhapa, be included; but hither- to it has not been proposed to [ae any other matter about her separation. This statement in Lady Byron’s own handwriting does not contain any accusation of 60 grave a nature as that which Mrs. Stowe asserts was told her, and Mrs, Stowe’s story of the separation is inconsistent with what I have seen in various letters, &c., of Lady Byron’s. Lady Byron says in her own statement that before being published it ought to be submitted to some person Who had read through the consumed Byron memoirs, 80 as to secure the correction of any misstatements. 1 cannot see that Messrs. Wharton and Fords make no charge of materiai inaccuracy against Mra. Stowe: I belicve they meant to assert the inaccuracy of the whole article, I, for one, cannot allow that Mrs. Stowe’s statement ts substantially correct according to your inference and that of one or two other newspapers. Request- ing the favor of the insertion of my explanation in your yaluabie journal, I remain, your obedient ser- vant, WENTWORTH. BOULOGNE, Sept. 7. Edmund Oiller’s Letter. To THE Epiror oF THE LONDON NeEws:— ‘The phrase “aggressive weakness” in my letter in today’s Daper is & misprint for “aggressive meek- ness.” With respect to the child Aliegra, allow me to add to wnat another correspondent has told you, that the litue girl so called—s natural daughter of Byron by a connection (not & blood relation) of Wil- Nam Gedwin—died in or about the year 1822, and was ceitainly not the child over whom Lady Byron watched. It was the ghost of Alle gra that Shelley fancied he saw, one moonlight bight, rise out of the waters of the Bay of Spezia, clasping ita hands as if in joy and smilivg at him. This was a few weeks before Shelley's death in the waves of the same bay. The anecdote is related by Mr. Williams, who was algo present and was alter- wards drowned with the poet. Iam, &c., EDMUND OLLIER. Sour KENSINGTON, Sept. 10, 1869. What a Venerable Matron Remembers. A correspondent of the London Times says:- am permitted to give some details furnished me by @ lady of great natural abilities and Keen observa- tion, unimpaired by advanced age (eighty-two), whose knowledge of the world—fashionable, political and literary—both of days jong pase and of these, is, perhaps, unsurpassed. The Dowager Lady 8B—— writes as follows:— We have a great subject of interest in Mra. Stowe’s account of Lord Byron. I want to know the truth. Ihave seen a great deal of Mra, Leign (Augusta), having passed some days with her and Colonel Leigh, for my husband’s shooting near Newmarket, when Lord Byron was in the house, and, as she told me, was writing ‘The Corsair,” to my great astonish- ment, for-it was a wretched small house, full of her ill-trained children, who were always running up and down stairs and going into “uncle’s” bedroom, where he remained = all the morning. Mrs, Leigh was like a mother to Byron, being 80 much older, and not at all an at- tractive person. I afterwards went with her, at her request, to pay a wedding visit to Lady Byron when she returned to town, and she (Mrs. Leigh) ex- pressed the greatest anxiety that his marriage should reform him. He opened the drawing room door timself, and received my congratulations as savagely as I expected, looking demonlike, as he often did. But my astonispment at the present ac- cusation is unbounded. She a Dowdy-Goody, I being then, 1 suppose, @ young fine lady. Scrope Davis used to come to dinner, and talked to me a ‘eat deal about Byron afterwards. when he resided in the country, and [ never remember a hint at this unnatural and improbable liaison when ail London was at Byron’s feet. Ihave heard from Lady A— i—relative to —— and to Mrs. Leigh, that my recollection of her was perfectly correct. She says she was an amiable and devoted wife and mother offseven children. Her husband was very fond of her and had a high opinion of her. She must have been married (in 1807) when Byron was quite a boy Fda | nineteen), She had no taste for poetry. She sad misfortunes mm her later years. Her excel- lent and only surviving daughter nursed her with the tenderest affection in her last illness. How an. one could have been #0 wicked as to write so horri- ble a story of one too Jong dead to have friends left who could refute the story seems beyond belief, $6 085° ALLENS LITTLE DIFFICULTY, Conclusion of the Case—Has Avother Theo- dore Come to Judgment ¢ The examination in the cage of Theodore Atlen was concluded before Justice Ledwith, at Jefferson Market, and was the occasion of drawing together as fine an audience of the light-fingered gentry as ever graced a police court, ‘The first witness examined was James D.

Charles W. Lobdell testified—I reside at the Anson House; | was near Mercer and Prince streets on the afternoon of the affray; was going up town ina stage; saw a crowd of men fighting and struggling Us the street; a large man held a small man down on e par throngh the crowd, took hold of the small man by the hand and pulied him out; the smali man walked leisurely away; there was biood on lis face; Town- ley did not say he was en officer nor call for Allen's arrest; lonly knew Allen by reputation; Townley did not say the smail man was 8 prisoner.

Sohn Roberts, @ bartender at Florence’s saloon, and Johu Leonard, proprietor of a restaurant in Mercer street, were then examined, and corrobor- te statements of the last witness, when Mr, Howe ‘announced the evidence for the prosecution closed. . Mr. De Costa then ‘tated that he desired to put in evidence a record of conviction, in which Theodore Allen, on the 14th day of June, 1866, pleaded gulity to a charge ofstealing a pocketbook, contaiuing five dollars in money, from . Crook, and was sen- tenced py Recorder Hackett to the City Prison for four months, but was pardoned by Governor Morgan after serving three months of his sentence. Mr. Howe objected to the recora being admitted, on the grouid that it was necessary to produce some party or parties who were eye witnesses to the Occurrence for the purpose of cere, that the ‘Theodore Alien in court was the Theodore Allen mentioned in the conviction, alleging his client was Ot the person. Justice Ledwith decided to admit the record with the assurance from Mr. De Costa that he produce the necessary witnesses to substantiate the fact that the two Theodore Allens were one and the sai man. The case will be argued before Justice Led- With on Wednesday next, at three P, M. ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY, We have authority for stating that the report tele- Graphed from St, Louis to yesterday's papers, announcing that $100,000 cash nad been offered by the Weatern Union Telegraph Company and $226,000 in stock of the Atlantic and Pacific Company for the property of the Mississippi Valley Telegraph Com- pany, is incorrect. No offer whatever has been made by the Atlantic and Pacific Company for the Misesissippi Valley Company's property, and tho report referred to is no doubt oirculated from the same motives which recently sought to confound this company with the Atiautic and Paolfic States Company and the Pacific Gud Atlantic Com- pany, two entireiy separate and Giatinct organiza- Uons. The Atiantic and Pacitic Mreapy has 16,000 miles of wire already in operation snd is rapidl. tending ite lines throughout the United States: and the despatch from St. Louis was evidently manufac- red for the or of injuring this company’s marl nook in the te NEW YORK CITY.

If the defendants wi) put in an answer the Court will direct that the cause be placed on the calendar for trial at the next term, when, after tne proof is in, the questions involved may be more fully considered and more deliberately passed upon, COURT OF OVER AND TERMINER.

About twenty minntes past three o'clock yester- day afternoon a young woman entered the Forty- third street station house, Butler street, and address - ing Sergeant Daniel Ferry, who was on duty at the desk, said in an excited manner, “Oh, sir, my mother has killed my brother Eddie.” The officer, being accustomed to hear the term ‘‘killed” applica in so many instances where the injuries are com- paratively speaking quite trifing, did not attach the full sense of the meaning of the term at once, but directed Acting Sergeant Govers to accompany the girl and investigate the matter. He was conducted to No. 114 East Warren street, where, on entering, he found a woman of very re- spectable appearance seated quietly in a rocking chair in the sitting room. Following the daughter (whose name is Mary Halpin) up staira he was shown into a sleeping apartment, where a horrible sight was reveaied. Lying on the floor, in a space of about two feet, between a bed and the window, was the dead body of a beautiful boy about eight years | of age, the héad was cut up in Nightful gashes and a | pool of blood surrounded him, while brains and pieces of the skull were scattered over the floor, ‘walls and bed clothing.

Catherme Halpin, forty-five years of age, the mother of the murdered boy, She also being fs murderess, ig the wife of a very respectable mechanic, their family consisting of four children—Mary, Alice, James and the deceased, whose name was fdward. For the past seventeen years Mrs. Halpin, who is a very delicare-looking Woman, has been in poor health, and has from tlne to time béen subject to fits of temporary derangement, but upon one occa- sion only has she exhibited any degree of violence io her manner towards her family heretofore. The daughter Alice says that she was lying upon her bed in another room on the game floor, about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, when she heard her brother Eddie a out, “Oh, mother, mother.’? She arose immediately and rushed to the door of the room from which the cry proceeded, but found that it was barricaded, Alice then calied to Eddie and asked nimto open the door froin’tne Inside, As there was no response to her summons from wishin the girl, with redoubled energy, ex- asperated by terror at the presentment of evil, the barricades by pushing open the jor, As she did so her mother rushed out ypon her, wielding in ber right hand a bloody hafthet (such a8 used in splitting wood), and attempted to strike her daughter. A desperate struggle ensued between the insaue woman and the brave girl, in which the laiter gained the mastery and wrested the murderous weapon from ro whic Daring the encounter she received @ painful cut upon the arm ‘with the hatchet. Before going to the station haquse Alice called upon her eldest sister, Mary, who Was at her place of business in Fuiton street, and related the affair to her. With the cunning aud craft so characteristic of the msane, Mrs. alpine washed the biood from the hatchet as soon as she could regain it, and then seated herself calmly, as though nothing had oo. curred to mar the even tenor of the household, in the position in which she was discovered upon the entrance of officer Govers. She unquestionably imgane. Her version of the occurrence is that two women entered tae house and proceeded to Eddie's room; that she followed them up stairs, taking with her the axe that she had been splitting wood with; that as she went into the room where her child was she saw one of the strange women jump out the window and another rush past her; that sane struggled with her daughter Alice, whom she en- countered upon opening the door, Nae for one of the women that Killed Eddie, The oficer 1- quired how tt was that the boy came to be lying | so near the bed, to which she replied:—‘4ie was sit- ting on the side of the bed at frat.” The prisoner ig now in custody in the celis of the Forty-third pre- oinct station house, Coroner Whitehill, who viewed the remains, Will hold an inquest thie mornfhg.
