British Advice to Napoleo: LONDON, Oct. 20, 1869, The London Times says:: France, unfortunately, has irreconcilables of a deeper dye than Gambetta and Bancel, whose mani- festo 1s violently attacked by their former associates, while Raspail adheres to his resolution to go to the Behe Chamber on the 26th inst. Soa riot may still be found unavoidable, in which case the authors of the manifesto will have to see what course it is best for them topursue. France has been brought to this pass through the Emperor's hesitation, not merely in respect to measures, but in the choice of persons to introduce them. ‘The Emperor cannot mean to present himself before tue chambers with his oid Cabinet. Whatever merits Rouher and For- cade may have, no one can regard them as more than clerks in thelr master’s Cabinet. No one be- Meves they can be raised to the rank of independent and responsible Ministers. 1t1s said the Emperor does not know where to find others. If the situa- tion arises men will be forthcoming. In the mean- time = other men are preferable to these. So long “ the Emperor 1s surrounded by the men of yester- lay no one can have faith in his good intention for the morrow. Ear! Derby’s Health.

A conductor of the Second Avenue Railroad, who has known Real long and intimately, asserts that the convict and his charge entered his car at the corner of Second avenue and Thirty-fourtn street; that Real shook hands with him and rode down town. The gentleman to whom the conductor made these statements is entirely re- liable and declares his bellef in their correctness. SOCIETE DE BiENFAISANCE BELGE. A meeting of the Belgian residents of New York was held last evening in the lecture room of the Cooper Institute, for the purpose of organizing a benevolent society for tne relief of distressed Bel- gians, The chair was taken by Mr. ©. Mali, who pointed out briefly the motives which had brought them together, and introduced Mr. Ernest Van Bruyssel, the Belgian Consul to the United states, to the meeting. Mr. Van Bruyssel expressed his regret that he and his countrymen had been compeiled by dire necessity to set about forming an exclusive society. He had found, however, that nationality regulated much of the benevolence of Europeans in this city. Belgians in distress therefore fared badly at the hands of French and Germans. So they had to look to themselves. If all the Europeans would unite to- gether and form one powerful organization they would gladly merge into it. Until that was done they shoul supply the wants of their necessitous brethren as best they could, and he urged his countrymen throughout the Union to eget aid the efforts now being made, While the French, English, German and Swiss immigrants were provided for the destitute Belgian had to de- pend on accidental individual charity. Every motive, therefore, suggested to them that they should make a grand endeavor to establish a benevolent organization. These views were endorsed by the meeting. Much discussion was created upom the statutes, which were finally approved. Subscriptions to the amount of §1, and a cominittee formed to watcb oveT the interests of the society. If the genial, sympathetic feeling of the meeting be reciprocated, a8 was anticipated last evening, the “Societe de Bienfaisance Belge’? may & looked on as fairly launched on tts career of use- fulness. were taken CIRCLE LYRIQUE FRATERNEL.

The ball last night, the first held under the auspices of the society, was comparatively successful, the attendance com- prising over @ hundred couples.

Cuban Recognition to be Strongly Recommended. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 1869, Special Meeting of the Cabinet. ‘There 1s & good deal of speculation to-night over a@special meeting of the Cabinet, which convened this morning about ten o’clock and remained in sea sion until near noon, The fact that a regular Cabt- net meeting was held yesterday, at which, of course, all the routine business would naturally be trans- acted, gives rise to the surmise that something of importance must have been brought to the attention of the President since which required a Oavinet consultation, ihe members of the Cabinet are un- usually reticent about the meeting, and refuse to give any intimation of what was done. There are all sorts of speculation about it; some have tt that the meeting was occasioned by a cable despatch from Sickles relative to Cuba, others that tt was a telegram from Motley, aud still others that it was to consider some important revenue matters. There can be little doubt that business of importance was considered, but guessing 1s useless under the pre- sent circumstances. : Rumored Opposition to the Confirmation of Secretary Robeson—Thoe President Favoring Cuban Recognition. There 1s @ story going about here to the effect that certain Senators, and particularly Drake, of Mis- souri, intend to oppose the confirmation of Secre- tary Robeson on the meeting of Congress. Neither Robeson nor Belknap, it will be remembered, have yet received a Senatorial endorsement, which is necessary to their complete appointment. Grimes’ retirement from the Senate leaves the chairmanship of the Naval Committee vacant, and Drake 1s said to be an eager candidate for the position. Drake is @ man of strong likes and dislikes, and is reported to have some personal spite against Vice Admiral Porter. ‘This spite, it is reported, extends to Robeson, whom Drake assumes to be identical with Porter. He believes Porter has great influence over Mr. Robeson, and therefore desires to defeat the latter's confirmation tn the hope of getting in some one who will throw Porter overboard altogether. This is one of the alleged reasons, Another is that Congress at its last session cut down materially the estimates for the navy, which econo- mical hint, it 1s given out, has been disregarded by the department, which has expended the entire ap- propriation in addition to such sums as were ob tained from the sale of war vessels. The cause of this expenditure ought to be satisfactory to inquist- tive Senators. The department desired to place its vesssis in proper trim for use in case of any dificalty that might spring out of the Cuban complications, and latd out the money to very good purpose. A third third reason assigned for the anti-Robeson move- ment is the fact that the great State of Pennsyl- vania has no representative in the Cabinet, while the little democratic region of New Jersey is hon- ored with one, The Keystoners think that afier two hard struggles, successfully made, to keep repubil- canism in the ascendant in their State, they are en- titled to a Cabinet recognition in preference to Jersey, Onthe other hand it is stated that there 1s precious little vitality in the anti-Robeson move- ment. The Naval Secretary feels quite easy in his shoes, and trouvies his mind with no fears as to his confirmation, Drake to the contrary notwithstanding. On the reassembling of Congress Mr. Robeson and his friend Porter may suddenly loom up into very great importance, Should the President act as some of his friends deciare he will regarding Cuba Senators will very probably be inno mood to bother either Robeson or Porter. These friends of Grant say that in his mes- sage he will incorporate ali that has transpired in Cabinet and diplomatically regarding Cuba, and thas he wil recommend Congreas to sustain the republican cause in the “ever faithful isle,”’ or at least express himself in such unmistakable language on the sub- Ject as to show himself in favor of recognizing the struggling patriots. Should Mr. Fish's prediction ofa war with Spain then come true, of course the struggle would be mainly on the ocean and Porter would be the man of the hour. The Fenian Prisoners in Great Britain. John M. Moriarty, President of the Irish Repuvli- can Association of Philadelphia, had an interview with President Grant and Secretary Fish to-day in behalf of the Amerivan citizens of Irish birth now in British prisons. Mr. Moriarty stated that these men had been convicted not for expressions or any overt actin England, but for sentiments uttered in the United States; and that as Mr. Gladstone had refused to liberate them he thought it was the duty of this government to insist that the prisoners should be set at liberty, The President remarked that several delegations had called upon him in relation to the same subject. His sympathies were with those pris- oners, and, therefore, he should be gratified at their release. He had placed the matter in the hands of Secretary Fish subsequently. The last gentleman informed Mr. Morlarty that he had already exerted his influence to secure the object of his visit and ‘would persevere to that end; and he gave the assu- rance that the government would adopt every means in its power to protect all American citizens both at home and abroad in all their rights. Arguments in the Saprome Court. In the Supreme Court of the United States to-day argument was continued in the case of Joshua Bir- rell ys. The Propeller Mohawk, the Western Trans- portation Company claimant, and the case of The President, &c., of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company vs. the Pennsylvania Canal Company, in error to the Circuit Court for the Southern district of New York.

A similar letter had been sent to the President of the Cham- ber, but he could not attend, and he assured the gentlemen that he thought !t would be in order for the Chamber to select a member to represent the commerce of this country at the opening of tne Suez Canal. He said it would be one of the most important and most interesting events affecting commerce that has ever transpired. The tmprove- ments, he said, come so rapidly on us that we-can scarcely comprehend them. He then went on to recite some of the’ events which have affected com- merce and awarded ‘“ateam and electricity’? such complimentary notice as would delight the hearts of certain “progressive” residents of the New World. He then said that Mr. 8. B. Ruggles, a member of the Chamber, was at p&esent in Paris, and would, no doabt, be happy to represent the Chamber at the opening of the Suez Canal. On motion, then, Mr. Ruggles was chosen to act a8 representative of the Chamber, and a vote of thanks, together with the Notice of the election of Mr. Rugg'es, was ordered to be transmitted to the government by which the in- vitation was sent to the President of the Chamber. By unanimous consent of the nine gentlemen pre- sent Mr. Maury was permitted to offer a report from the spectal committee on the subject of a communt- cation from the Chamber of Commerce in Liverpool. ‘The report, which Was unanimously adopted, is as follows: The committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to consider the communication from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, recommending tare and dra{t on cotton pur- chased In this country, hus the subject under full con- sideration aud cannot recommend any action on the ques- ion, At Orst sight {t would seem that the consumer or the party fn England ordering purchases of cotton would get more cot- ton for his money, but the differences between Liverpooi and New York weights are all ao closely allowed for, even to the hundredth part of a penny per pound, that this would not be the effect, and no means except man's own judgment can ineither Case deal with the question of loss in weight by evaporation, which {9 an uncettain and often au important pessontage. “Thus, if the Liverpool proposition were adopted, he condition of the trade would not be improved, and a new series of questions and disputes would probably atise, It would be practically impossible to bring about the change suggested by the Liverpool Charaber. : ‘The various local adsociations in all our ports are con- stantly engaged in devising tmproved regulations respecting the purchase and gale of cotton, and all such questions may be safely left in thelr hands. All of which is respectfully submitted. | "i URY. HENRY M. TABER. There being no further business before the Cham- ber the nine gentlemen adjourned. THE STATE CANALS. mts Interested in Re« of 2 “Commercial Convention of Merc! form—Organization Union.” The convention of delegates from the various Boards of Trade and of individuals throughout the State interested in reforming tne canal management and improving the canal trade was held yesterday at the rooms of the Citizens’ Association, 813 Broad- way, in this city, pursuant to the cali made Septem- ber 17 last by the Joint committees of the assoctation, the Chamber of Commerce and the New York Pro- duce Exchange. The Convention was called at ten o’clock A, M., and no persons were admitted except those who presented invitations of the joint com- mittees or who bore credentials from trade organi- zations. All the prominent and some of the lesser cities and towns along the line of the canals were represented and the meeting was large and earnest. Mr. Jere- miah P. Robinson was elected President of the Con- vention and Mr. Joseph F. Daly Secretary. ad- dresses were made by ex-Mayor Fish, ot Rochester, Messrs. Niles, of Buffaio; Duganne, of New York; Lacy, of Albany; Messrs. Nathaniel Sands, James P. Wallace and Edward Hincken; Messrs. Niles, Case and W. H. Barciay, of Buffalo; Mr. Peter Cooper and others. The Convention unantmousiy resoived that an organization must be formed among those per- sons interested through the State in the reform of the canal system and trade, which organization should extend along the whole line of the canals, and have for ita object the protection of te canals and their trade and the prosecution of corrupt and neglectiul canal officers. A committee of six, with the president and secretary, was appointed to repare and submit a plan of organization. This committee returned after a long session aud reported @ complete system of secret organization among per- sons interested in the canal trade. This plan was unanimously on ao by the Convention. ‘The leading features of the pian are:—A State Cen- tral Committee of nine persons, having its head- quarters in one of the principal cities of the State, whence as @ base of operations its movements against the fraudulent contractors and corrupt of- clals of the canal ring are to proceed. This commit- tee 18 vested with power to call conventions and delegates from localities at such times and places as may be proper, in order to decide on any pian of operations in the Legislature or elsewhere. A corps of trusty agents, unknown to each other, are to be set upon short sections of the’canals night and day to collect evidence against contractors, officials, thieves, &c.. who make daily reports with sworn affidavits, sufficient to base charges and impeachments upon. In eyery village, town and city of the State on the line of the canals local executive committees are to be established, who employ local detectives and agents to follow the tracks of officials and contractors, to gather proofs, &c., and to forward sworn afMidavite to the central commitiee to be used in prosecutions of the delinquents, Resolutions were adopted concurring in the me- morial presented to the Legislature last year in behalf of the State Vanal Convention, recommend- ing that the State Central Committee elected by this Convention be instructed to support the objects of the memorial before the next Legislature, and urging the speedy completion of improvements in the canals, &c.; also the reduction of tne rate of tolls and the abolition of the contract repair system in canals, and that it be recommended to the Legislature that the canal debt of this State, now about $9,000,000, shall be funded for aterm of eighteen years, and that the tolls shall be reduced to the lowest practicable sum, thus enabling our canal system to present the cheap- est possible means of commercial intercourse between the Atlantic seaboard and the States of the great West, DOWESTIC INFILICITIES IN NEW JERSEY. Interesting Divorce Suits—Opinions by the Chancellor. Yesterday in the Court of Chancery at Trenton Chancellor Zabriskle delivered opinions in the cases of Flavell vs, Flavell and Codiugton vs, Cod- ington. In the first case the Chancellor said it was a suit by Abraham W, Flavell for @ divorce from his wife, the defendant, Charlotte A, Flavell, on the grouna of adultery. The ansewer dented the adul- tery, and also charged the complainant with adultery by way of recrimination and as a defence to the suit. The cause is upon admitting the testimony of George Moore, who Was sworn on the part of the complainant, and after the first day’s examination eltuer absented or secreted himself, both parties having vainly endeav- ored to find or procure him. Moore had not signed either hia direct or cross-examination, so far as pro- ceeded with, The defendant asked to suppress the testimony of Moore for that reason, and the Chan- cetlor, after an elaborate dissertation on the admissa- bility of certain evidence and the citation of numer- ous judictal authorities, arrived at the conclusion that Moore's deposition not Deine signee by him ‘was imperfect and could not be |. The Chan- cellor ordered a decree for divorce to be entered in fayor of Abraham W. Flavell. The bill in the case of Codington vs. Codington was for a@ divorce @ vinculo for desertion. The detendant (wife) being out of this State was served with a notice to appear and defend the suit, but she failed to do so. The spectal master reported that the case Was not within the jurisdiction of this court, and that the divorce should not be granted, parties were married in the city o and resided there four years after their mar- riage, after they removed to Bergen Point, in this State, in 1868, with the intention of living there. On the 27th of Juiy in that year the defendant deserted her husband and has never sta lived with him. The complainant resided at Bergen Point for a month or two after his wife left him and then returned to New York. In this case neither of the parties resided In this State for more than two months afler the desertion commenced. The resi- dence of these parties being in the State of New York, neither party, by mopping over to this State with his trugk and taking lodgings for a few weeks, can give to this court jurisdiction in the matter. Even if tho requirements of the statutes of the State were strictly complied witn, the decree of divorce would be a nullity, and in the State of New York the marriage reiation would still exist. Tho Chancellor held that this case was not within the provisions of the statute, for the first section pro- vides that the parties or one of them shall be inhab- itants of the State at the time of the desertion com- lained of, and the last clause requires that one of em shall have been a resident of tho State for three years during which such desertion shall have continued, On these grounds the application for & divorce was denied, A number of other opinions were read, but they were of an uninteresting char- aoter.

Last night another terrible altercation, uafor- tunately giike to the deadly quarrels of late that bave cast dhicredit upon the city, took piace on the dock at tne fot of Warren street between John 3. Gormley and John Edge, during which tue latter was {rightfully cut in the neck with knife used by the former. The nature of Edge'’s wounds is snch that serious doubt are entertained of his recovery, ‘The par- Uculars gathered at @ late hour last night reveal that Edge is @ watchman on board the oarge susque- hanna, at the above pter, and his assailant 1s a deck band employed on board the steamboat Montaua, plying hence to Perth Amboy. Abeut seven o’clock in the evening Gormley sauntered down she dock and went on board the barge, when he was ordered om by the watchman, during which unpicass:.& words passed between them, but at that time no blows were struck, when, tm obedt- ence to Edge’s commands, Gormley retreated, ant when on the dock still persistently avused the for- mer, daring nim “to come off and fight.” Eige very foolishiy did so, when, still further provoked. he struck Gormley, who drew @ knife and stabbed hum tn the left side of the neck, repeating the viow with like terrible effect after the two bad clinched and were fighting on the pier. A crowd soon gathered, drawn together by the Joud cries, when the wounded man crawied back to the barge, the biood gushing in a large stream from the em. He was soon afterward removed to the City Hospi- tal by oificer Markey, of the Thrd precinct, who, hearing of the disturbance, promp!ly arresied Germ- i Ane one of two friends that were near tle scene Coroner Flynn was at once notified of the danger- ous condition of the wounded man, when he at ouce repaired to the hospital with his deputy, Dr. Shine, and, after empanneling a jury, the following ANTE MORTEM STATEMENT ven years of age. I do not know pe to ravover; Lama watob- man on board the barge’ named, now lying at the foot of Warren street; she haila from Newburg. This evening, about seven ‘o'clock, three men came on the dock; three meu, the ‘prisoner (Gormley) of them, who alone soon after came on board t ordered’ him off, but he refused to go. He wanted to fight with me. The other two men then called oim and he went off. He then wanted me to come oil’ to tue dock and there fight him, I went on the dock and struck the prisoner. He then cut me with a» knife in the neck, when I threw him down. At this time be cut me a second ‘time. Finding my- self cut T got back to the barge, when I was taken to the hos- pital, The man here present is the same one that cut me. ‘The jury after this statement rendered the follow- verdict:—John Edge came to his wouading on the nigh« of October 20, on the Warren street dock, at the hands of John 8, Gormley, with a knife." ‘Tne prisoner was then taken to the station house on Chambers street, where he was securely incar- cerated, Gormley is but twenty-oné years of age, and in his statement says that he was Kuocked down during the trouble, when he cut someone. He is not an unpleasant looking lellow, and says he was on the dock looking for freight for the steamer on which he is adeck hand. Although not drunk when arrested, he had been drinking. He was very anxious at a later hour im the night to know of the condition of his victim. The wounds Edge received may prove fatal, and it is feared they will; but there is a chance of his recovery; yet the surgeons at the hospital could not at midnight venture an opinion upon his condition. Gormley will be araigned at the Tombs’ Police Court this morning, and the disposition then made of him wiil depend upon Edge’s chances of life. The kumife used is @ pocket knife, formerly four-bladed, but now has but three. The large blade is badly stained with blood, EUROPEAN MARKETS. LONDON MONEY MARKET.—LONDON, Oct, 20—4:30 P.
