Lonpos, Oct, Nearly all the metropolitan papers to-day have Obituary notices of the late Kari Derby. The London Times, in Its obituary article on the late Lord Derby, says:— No one can be a statesman without a statesman- like temperament, With this the Karl of Derby was never endowed. He was too impulsive to resist the temptation of making sallics on eneiies boil In and out of season. His sneer at the Jtalian struggie will be remembered asa proof of his recklessness in speaking on foreign affairs. The Duke of Webi bequeathed to him his mfuence in the House of Lords, but the bequest could not be executed. The mantle of the Duke’s soldierlike virtues had not de- ascended on his successor, Great as was his as ancy among the conservative po gained the confidence of his countr, men. The London Zelegraph points to the fact that Lord Derby employed his latest breath in public to deciaim, with all the solemnity of an old man fading from the world, against a measure of justice and necessity like the Irish Church bill, and adds that this shows how much the age and the country had gone beyond him. The London Standard predicts that while the pre- ®ent generation lives Lord Derby will be remem- bered throughout his own province not only as an ‘orator, scholar ana statesman, of whom Lancashire may well be proud, but as a magnate, who in the direst trial, took his piace as leader in the work of relief and charity, as the rich man who cared for the Sorrows of the poor and as the great man who respected thé pride of the lowly; not as the Premier of England, but as a kindly neighbor, geherous friend and Christian gentleman. The London News speaks of him as follows:— Lord Derby was not a great statesman, but he was great political personality. He will hold a place f the history of England not for what he did, stil for what he faiied to do, but for what he was, le was the last of the barons—the latest, not the Teast. He was a perfect example of the prop tocratic politician, with the faults and the vir- euee, the dignity and the fidelity of his order. ‘When he seemed to desert principle he did so under She infuences of strongly feit 11 erroneousiy inter- preted obligations to his sovereign aud his poistical comrades.

Promalgation of the Decreo Establishing Un- restricted Liberty of Religion in Cuba and Perio RicomRedaction of the Government Employes, Havana, Oct, 25, 1869. ‘The decree of the Constituent Cortes establishing unrestricted liberty of religion im the colonics of Cuba and Porto Rico was to-day promulgated in this island and has gone into effect as the law of the land, The document is exceedingly liberal in tts terms. It declares that Spain cannot remain re- moved from the general movement of Europe and the world, and adds that this consideration is the more powerful for the Antilles, because they lie near @ continent where liberty of religion is recognized by law. One clause of the decree provides that no person shall be prevented from holding office under the government by reason of his religious belief. ‘The decree 1s recelvea with general satisfaction by the populace.

AMUSEMENTS. ParTi’s FAREWELL CONCERT—BROOKLYN ACAD- EMyY.—The grandest and most fashionable house of the season bid farewell to Carlotta Patti last night at the Brookiyn Academy. It was full in every part, and the audience received each artist of this excel- lent company with repeated and justly merited a) plause, Not only was Patti herself th delightful voic but all those who supported her sang and played with more than usual excellence. Kitter’s performance on the piano, of which tnstrument he possesses a remarkable command, and which he touches with a me hod peculiarly his own, was highly applauded.

NIBLO’S GaRDEN.—The drama of “Oliver Twist’? was given last night at this establishment in pre- sence of a numerous and thorougtly appreciative audience. Reference has already been made to Miss Western's vivid and truthful impersonation of the famous Nancy Sykes, and itas almost unnecessary to observe that she has few, if any, equal 1m tnat parucular role, The lady has evidently made a study of all the little peculiarities of the character and pre- sents them as navurally as the original ever could have done, At umes the audience smiled at the eccentricities which characterized her representa- tion, then a thrill shot through the house, which Was not unfrequently electrified by the grand bursts of anguish, passion, sometimes tenderness and feeling. Thunders of appiause greeted Miss Western at frequent intervals, and she sus- tained the interest till the end. In fine, her interpretation of pif ry goer was @ powerful piece of acting, carefully studied and completely evidenced her great comprehensive and wistrionic abilities. “Oliver Twist” was well placed upon the stage, the fine resources of this theatre having been brought ito good requisition in oraer to make the repre- sentation as complete a3 possible. Moreover, it was fairly supported and, with one or two exceptions, gave full scope for the display of a host of capital artists. The parts of Bill Sykes (J. A. Hearns), Oliver Twist (Miss Newman), Mr. Bumble (T. K. Morris), and others were well presented and elicted merited ap- probation. Altogether, “Oliver Twist’? at Nibio’s was performed in such @ manner as to give general satisfaction, Park THEATRE, BROOKLYN.—Mr. E. L. Davenport, who has drawn such crowded houses to that favor- ite and popular temple of the muses, the Park thea- tre, during tne series of Shakspearian representa- tions to which he has treated the Brooklynites, has been induced to prolong his engagement for six nights, Last evening, departing irom the role of the legitimate drama, in waich he is so successful a Gelineator, he produced, for the tirst time on the Park boards, @ new sensational play, entitled “B., or Branded.’ The plot of the piece is di- vided into five acts, all the scenes being full of startling incidents and of adsorbing interest to the audience. Mr. Dayenport himself was In the bill as the personator of five characters, Which, with his great versatility and power of tran- sition of character, and his wonderiul mobility of voice and gesture, he ably went through with, eiicit- ing from time to time the warmest plaudits of the audience, The scenes in “Branded”! are laid in Eogiand and France, and sre quite sensational, though very effective, and occasionally full of deep feeling, The house was crowdod, aud if Mr. Daven- pores other engagements permitced him a pro ‘acted stay at the Park theaire he would no doubt make “Branded” very popular and @ tiuancial suc- cess to the management, UNION SCOUTS AND REBZI. GUERILLAS. Lecture by the Rev. L. P. Rae. A lecture was delivered last night at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Washington street, Hoboken, by the Rev. L. P. Roe, late chaplain of the Harris light (Secoad New York) cavalry, under the auspices of Post Wads- worth, No, 19, Grand Army of the Republic, the sub- ject bemg “Union Scouts and Rebel Guerillas, or Secret Service at the Front.’ Post Commander Thomas L. Lee occupied the chair and the hail was comfortably filled, The lecture was a very interest- ing one, full of narratives and facts, gathered from personal observation and from General Siarpe and the scouts who formed his bureau of secret service. The lecturer, alter dealing in some open- ing generalities, gave very graphic description of & night attack by the rebels, and showed how many of these raids were made in order to gain knowledge of the strength and postition of the Union troops. Alter some time General Grant was so strongly convinced of the usefuiness of these attacks that he established the secret ser- vice, and it was by this means very largely that he succeeded in posting himself about General Lee’s army. The lecturer then proceeded to the consideration of the scout syatem. Much bad been written about female spies, and a halo of romance had been thrown arouad these which was really more romance than truth. Some of these women had, however, done good service to the Union, notably the lady who had recently been appointed postmistress at Richmond. Referring to the reliable contraband, the speaker said that most them were ignorant, and were too anxious give information, falling into the fault of afswering affirmatively ail questions put to them. General Sharpe had, however, a system of questioning the negroes, which oiten elicited vaiua- bie information. Scouts taken from the Uniou army were gencraily reliable men, and they were tried before they were admitted into the secret service, If they proved good scouts they were promoted and paid from two dollars to five dollars por day, and sometimes $500 for anexcursion, These men dif fered in character, some being remarkable for locality and others for unlimited brass. Their plan was generally to cheat and deceive as long as bo could, and when discovered they would endeavor to fight their way out of their dumeuities, The lecturer then gaye some very in- teresting and vivid descriptions of the adventures, deeds and egcapes of some of the scouts under Gen- eral Sharpe’s command, and concluded by remind- ing his audience that the scouts had now been al- most lost signt of and forgotien, but that they did much to secure the success of the Union, and con- tributed in no small degree to make this nation the happiest and strongest nation on the face of the earth. ‘The lecture was listened to throughout with great interest, and the lecturer frequently applauded, At the Close the president anounced that the next lec- ture of the course would be delivered by General Stuart L. Woodford. BASE BALL NOTES. To-day the Kagles and Govhams play thetr recurn game at Hoboken.

THE GOLD RING.. Feeling on Wall Street—Arrival of Solici- . tor Baufield—Resignation of General Butterficid—The Heavy Weights of Wall Street Before the Grand Jury. The despatch from Washington in the HeRALD of yesterday giving General Grant's statement in regard to the gould ring speculators and his pithy estimate of Admiral Fisk's moral worth formed a lively topic of conversation tn Wail street circies. ‘The disclaimer of the President was deemed in a great measure unnecessary, as few or none uceded any further statements to confirm their convictions of the President's innocence. The cloud of sus- picion industriously raisea by the ring had but an evanescent effect and needed but a little reflec tion cn the character of the men seeking to divert public attention from themselves to convince people that there was anything but a fair moral purpose at the bottom of their over ardent virtue, President Grant has evidently no apprebension that his fame can be tarnished by the impotent calumny of a gang of stock jobbers and money brokers, and Wall street men who know intimately the peculiar ways of those persons who set afloat the insinuations against the repuiation of the Chief Magistrate deem it a work of supererogation to taxe any but the most laconic and contemptuous notice of them. As little attention was given to the charges, if there ever were any, worth a moment's notice against Secretary Boutwell. Things will have arrived at o very strage pass, as a gentleman on Broad street remarked, when the Secretary of the Treasury can- not come to New York and partake of the hospitall- ties which some of its citizens may offer him without being subjected the moment he leaves to suspicion of having betrayed the designs of the administration, The arrival of Solicitor Ban- field from Washington on special business trom Sec- retary Boutwell concerning the affairs of the Sub- Treasury and the rumored resignation of General Butterfleld created more than ordinary excitement in the busy ctrcies on ’Change. Mr. Bantield was mp med to come here clothed with plenary powers to start an investigation into the mauagement of the Sub-Treasury and the connection of the officers in charge with tne operations of the god pvol. it was this supposition that invested Mr. Baniteld’s visit with so much interest in the eyes of the cur.ous; but the Solicitor of toe ‘ireagury had, after all, only a very simple duty to perform, which was executed in fifteen minutes aud resulted in the resignation of General Butierfleld. The latter on being intormed that the court of inquiry, which he requested, could not properiy be granted, and having no other aiter- native, deternjined on notifying the Secretary that he was prepared to resign his position and meet- his accusers before whatever tribunal might seem most in consonance with the views of the President. From the beginning there was no reluc- tance shown by General Butterfield toward adopting this or any other course which would forward the ends of investigation, His test letter to the Secre- tary drawing his attention vo the charges made by members of the gold ring was answered by the expression of the Secretary's utter distrust 1m the accusations so freely advanced against the Assistant Treasurer, Mr, Boutwell declined co consider the ex parte and anonymous stories as worthy of oilicial attenuon, Tiis was readily guessed at by tne ring, so they determined to put Jorward the least scrupulous of their number tu frame anarrauion which should contain a strong color of plausibility, look like a true version of the case against Butterticid, and have a veritable signa- ture attached to render it still more impressive. Knowing nothing whatever of the man who thus took upon himself to furnish all the necessary links of ‘implication, aud doudtiess believing that he must be some one who hela a prominent piace im the financial community of New York, Secretary Boutwell signified to General Butterfield that the circumstances under which the letter appeared and the character of the letter itself appeared to demand some sort of in- quiry. In reply, General Butterileld despatcned the letters which ‘were publistied in yesterday's HERALD and to which the arrival of Solicitor Ban- tield in this city is the responsive action of the ad- ministrauon, The resignation, if accepted, will re- sult in the aflairs Of the Sub-ireasury being turned over to some ad interim appointec, und the books and whatever else con- stitute the necessary wachinery of the department will, itis to be presumed, undergo the customary examination in such cases. Geueral But- terfleid feels perfectly prepared to meet whatever form of investigation may be instituted, out he be- lieved that a court composed of miiltary onicers of high standing would reach & conciusion more satis- factory to the people than could be attained through any other chaunel, A military court would be per- fectly proper in jus case, as he still continues to hold his commission in tae army, aud it would also be a tribunal of less biaved and moreneutral composi- ton than any other that could be secured, Among the civiitan classes there is one side ready to pronounce him guilty and the other side satisfied to acquit him of any wilful complicity in the designs of the conspiracy. Between these it was thought a compromise would be esiected by selecting a military court, into the character of which no such influences might enter as it was presumed would aifect the integrity of @ purely civil tribunal. Mr. Banfleid will reinain here until the answer from Secretary Boutwell to General Butterfield is received, aloug with which it is expected definite instructions will be sent to the Treasury Soilcitor a8 to the course for him to pursue. He brought no instructions from Washingion save simply to deliver the Secretary’s letter and notify the department of the result. While he is waiting he can learn much about Jay Gould. Fisk, Lane and the rest of the ring, und by their fruits he will know what a sorry crowd of wit- nesses propose to tell the truth about the gold ring machinauions. ‘The Grand Jury, tt 1s gratifying to soe, are going to werk with a will to bring oul ail the lignt possibie on the operations of the coaspiracy, but whetner tiey will ever deem it incumbent upon them to oring in an indictinent against any person or persons seems to be @ mooted question, Jay Gould was before them yes- terday for two hours, and must have unburdened himself of much that was curious and interesting. ‘The next witness will be Daniel Drew, who can re- late a good deal of strange and instructive informa- tion, ‘The following witnesses have been subpoenaed and wiil testify in the course of the week:—Henry Clews, Frank is. Howe, William Belden, J. Seligman, L. P. Morton, F, Vail, Bank of Commerce; James b. Colgate, William Kimber, K. P. Lounespury, E- peony ot Jay Cooke & Co.; C. C. Norveli and George Crouch. Weil informed people in Wall street say that the Grand Jury will lose no time in drawing up aa indictment against somebody, and that a swong pressure to that end is already being brought to bear upon them by certain prominent pouticians. OBITUARY. Jobn W. Farmer. The death of this gentieman occurred on Sunday morning last, at his residence, corner of Rochester avenue and Degraw street, in Brooklyn. Mr. Farmer was, we think, a native of this State, and was @ man past the prime of life, He entered upon his career a poor lad, and fora time sold newspa- pers for a living. Frequentiy he referred to the tact that he was one of the first paper dealers who sold the HERALD upon its first appearance, over thirty- five years ago. Subsequentiy he engaged in other pursuits, in which he achieved moderate success. It is, however, as @ philanthropist that Mr. Far- mer is best known. Several years before the great financial panic of 1857 he had projected the soup. house charity, and did, in tact, put his project into practical effect, though on a small scale. But in 186%, When 80 many commerctal houses failed, pros- trating business and reducing to absolute want many thousands o f persone, he organized tlie soup- house systein on a large scale. Its beneficial ertects were apparent immediately. The philanthropic of the other suffering cities adopted the idea and were thus enabied to alleviate the sufferings of the untor- tunate in the cheapest, most expeditious and most etfectave form that has yet been discovered, If Mr. Farmer had done nowhing more than to originate the soupliouse sysiem he would have stiil been entitled to be Known as @ public benefactor. But apart from this he Was an ever active puilanthro- pist, ready at all umes to succor the needy und to soothe the sorrows of a fellow being. In 1868, the year after the financial panic, Mr. Farmer became & candidate for Congress in the Fourth district, embracing the Fourth, sixth, Tenta and Fourteenth warda of this city, He ran as an independent candidate against Barr and Stephens, democrats, and Brennan, republica Although hundreds of the voters in ti wards had been greatiy benefited by lus charities their devotion to party was stronger than their gratiude. Mr. Farmer was badly beaten, receiving but 710 votes out of nearly 10,000 cast in the district. After that he wisely abandoned polities; and when, a couple of years ago, an effort was mado to nominate him for Mayor of this city, he promptly declined the honor. At tw Ume, and for several years previously, Mr. Farmer had devoted & considerable part of ‘his time to the orgauization and establishment of co-operative soctetics among the laboring classes, In this work he waa very Successful, and several of the societies formed by him are now in a@ very flourishing condi. tion, Not long ago Mr. Farmer moved hia residence from New York to Brooklyn. He had been — suffert for some tune from My health, which had threatened the consump. tion of the bowels that finally took him off, 1s death will ke widely and sincerely regretied. He leaves @ most enviable reputation hehind for philan- thropy. Hts charitable deeds were numerous and were always weil bestowed. ‘Tho funeral of Mr, Farmer wilt take place at two ovelogk, this (Tuesday) afternoon, from the Embury Methodist church, in Brooklyn.

CITY POLITICS. Filth Senatorial District—Mase Jackson Square. Jackson Square, the yancuon of Greenwich avenue end Thirteenth street at Eighth avenue, was last night the scene of quite a glowing democratic meet- ing. The object of the meeung was to ratify tne nominations of Michael Norton as State Senator, Wiliam G. Bergen, Peter Mitchell and John Carey a3 Members of Assembly from the districts included in the Senatorial district. A large platform lad been erected in the open space denominated the = square, and was profusely decorated with flags, banners, transparencies ana Chi- nese lanterns. Several houses in tue im- mediute neighborhood were similarly orna- mented, and two immense calctum lights on the Eighth avenue side cast a flood of light upon the surroundings. A band of music stationed on the platform discoursed popular airs from time to time, while rockets, flower pots, blue lights and Roman candles lit up the sky and made the scene dazzling and inspiriting. Shortly after elght o'clock the sound of martial music gave warning of the ap- proach of the Eighth ward party. Up Hudson street and turning into “the equare’’ came a large and respectable body of men, marching six abreast, bearing banners of the ‘Michael Norton Assoctation” and transparencies em- blazoned with appropriate mottoes, As they approached the stand the committee men and others crowdgd on to the stand and ere many minutes there was a crash,and in @ moment the flooring of one- half Wie stand gave Way and precipitated those wo amoment before were smiling and shaking hands with each other in a ratner unpoetic looking jum- ble to the Lavement. Senators, Assemblyinen. law- yers and others struggled among the broken planks, The weighty Senator Norton got himself out and then assisted Peter Mulvey, the distinguished advo- cate of Jederson Market, to ciear tae ruins, while the jovial J. W. Collier, standing on the steps which led up to the platform, twiried his natty mustache and sympathizingly inquired in regard to the “state of ihe Weather down there.”? The band oa the preserved portion of the platform commenced, as if to quiet the fears of the crowd, to play “Up'in a Balloon;” but scarcely had they got out half a dozen bars when the flooring gave way, and haatboys, cornets, drums and cymbals banged and clattered on the heads of the spilled crowd, making anything but p!easmg music. Luckily nobody was hurt, and in a few min- utes three large trucks were rolied into the square and made to do duty instead of the demolished piat- form. Order having been restored, Aasistant Aider- men Isaac Kobinson called the meeting to order and nominated J. Walker Fowler as Chairman, Mr. FOWLER introduced as the first speaker Fer- nando Wood. He was received with loud cheers, and addreased the assembiage forcibly and at length in favor of uniting the democracy of the city, in order that the State—and ultimately the nation— May be secured to the party. He spoke warmly in eulogy of the course of Mr. Norton in the State Legisiature. He stated that Mr. Norton had been elected m opposition to uis (the speaker's) wishes two years ago, but now, that he bad watched the course of the candidate aad found him ever true to the laterests of the democracy, and as tt was now so very important that the party should win, he ad- vised unity onthe regular nominees. He berated radical misrule soundly, and alluded in scathing terms to the action of the Executive in matiers of national interest, ‘the meeting was also addressed by Judge Car- dozo, Colonel Fellows, Algernon S, Sulliven, Wiliam G. Bergen, Colonel Crooks and others. From first to last Lue enthusiasm seemed to be unabated and the proceedings were frequently interfupted with hearty cheers lor the candidates.
