An ancient firman, unearthed for the occa- sion, was held threateningly over Ismail Pacha’s head, and a strict compliance with and adherence to its odious conditions de- manded as the price of’ the Sultan’s favor and the essential for future tranquillity. The Commander of the Faithful believes that had European Powers evinced a favor- able disposition to the overtures of his ambitious vassal nothing less than a modern Egyptian empire, with Ismail at its head, was the end and aim contemplated. Hence his wrath. Hence his determination to rebuke those dangerous aspirations, and to ‘insist upon the specifications of those firmans which conferred hereditary administration upon the The idea of inde- the fresh acceptance of the Turkish proposals without condition, or a suspension from the viceroy- alty as the consequence of refusal. It will be remembered that the second note of rebuke despatched by the Grand Vizier in the name of the Sultan declared his satisfaction with the Viceroy’s assurances of fidelity made in answer to the first complaint; but that satis- faction was materially qualified by the press- ing of certain points in the imperial missive which left no doubt that the Sultan was not satisfied with the explanation. Notwithstand- ing the conciliatory response of the Khedive, seiting forth that he had never songht to trans- gress his rights and duties as defined by impe- rial firmans; that he was sensible and grate- fal for favors received, and had regulated his conduct according to the will and orders of his Majesty; notwithstanding his many ex- pressions of fidelity and devotion—his frank explanation which he hoped would remove unfavorable impressions produced by unjust accusations—he must give further proof of his loyalty. His appeal to the clemency and gen- erosity of his master, and his avowed readi- ness to come and lay his moss respectful hom- age at the foot of his Majesty's throne, were answered by the renewal of terms which we were disposed to consider as imperious, arbi- trary aid oppressive. These Were as fol- lows:—The Egyptian army tmust be reduced ; not more than thirly thousand needle guns must be ordered; all other arms and iron-clads that had been bargained for must be counter- manded; taxes must be imposed and collected in the name of the Sultan only; the financial | budget and contracts for foreign loans subject to his approval and authorization; better treatment must be guaranteed to Mussulman pilgrims toand from the Holy Shrine; and lastly, no direct official intercourse must be | held by the Viceroy with foreign Powers. After a due compliance with these terms and the assurance of a faithful observance thereof, the note in question graciously announced that the homage and visit of the Viceroy would be acceptable at Constantinople. The Suez Canal movement and the earnest counsels of friendly Powers were instrumental in tiding over the crisis which then appeared imminent. The Viceroy did not accept all the conditions required, nor did he absolutely re- fuse any. He did not go to Constantinople, nor did the Sultan demand then and there the enforcement of the foregoing stipulations, The | storm was lulled, but it has not passed over; and now when the celebrations of the great ; canal are terminated we are to realize its con- The ire of Abdul Aziz, stirred up | quences. LR dispensed with a bounteous hand to royal guests at the grand levee along the Isthmus of Suez, will not contain itself longer, and the dreaded ultimatum must be again submitted, and this time with a threat of suspension from the viceroyalty. Were several interested powers of Europe in a less critical condition as regards the preserv- ation of peace; were France at liberty to tol- low her inclinations and sympathies, and were it not essential for the time being that tran- quillity should prevail until Napoleon shall have have passed through the ordeal of reform which his government is now undergoing, it would be no dificult matter to foresee the issue of these exactlons on the part of Turkey, and to predicate an opinion, amounting almost to 4 certainty, that they would be met with an in- diguant ref+sal from Egypt. Unfortunately for the Khedive, neither France nor Eng- land is prepared for a rupture on this question; and while their mediation might moderate the demands of the Sultan, it is not probable that they will energetically protest against the humiliation of the vassal. Without the hearty support of a powerful ally it would be eeckless in the Viceroy to defy his master, and, as the part of prudence and wisdom, we shall expect his submission. In this, however, we see no promise of a permanent reconcilia- tion. Such humiliations, if endured for the present, will ermbjiter his spirit, stimulate him fo rengWod cinch Tadis Securing fhe aid of European potentates, and prompt him to strike for independent royalty whenever a favorable opportunity shall be presented. The Sultan is promoting the germs of future complications, which are to end in a struggle for the mastery of the Suez Canal, and which in their importance must enlist several of the great Powers of Europe. Ismail Pacha, con- scious of the future of Hgypt and of his own coming importance in the destiny of that coun- try, may well afford to bide his time, make concessions and submissions to his jealous master, and do everything to provent a riipture at this time. Patience and prudence will yield an abundant harvest of good at no distant day; and the time will come, if we may be allowed to indulge in the most reasonable speculation, when the jurisdiction of the Sub- lime Porte shall cease to enthrall this ‘land of promise," and no Oriental master shall ques- tion the right of Egypt’s sovereign to use the public treasure whenever he may see fit for the advancement of national enterprises. while the Viceroy was visiting the courts of The designs of the Sultan, actuated by a natural desire to continue control over a tribu- tary Power which promises to become a source of immense revenue to his government, will be tolerated only just so far as the present neces- sities of the European situation require. The sovereignty and independence of Egypt will be accomplished whenever the free operation of the canal and the interest of neighboring Pow- ers shall make it expedient to guarantee for the enterprise that security and liberal direc- tion which it will hardly experience while under the control, directly or indirectly, of the Ottoman empire. City Politics=The Coming Charter Ele ction. In another column will be found, under the head of ‘‘City Politics,” a review of the prin- cipal field of strife in the coming charter election. The offices of Civil aud Police Jus- tices are very important, and the questions coming up in judical connection therewith, whether criminally or civilly, often involve very serious consequences to the citizens, It is, therefore, gratifying to know that in the host of candidates there are prominently pres- ent men who are in every respect fitted for the positions they seek. The field is almost entirely open to democratic candidates, but there is” enough of them to pick and choose from, Tammany may not nominate the best men, but then the fault will be its own, and it must be held responsible for any mistakes it may make in this matter. The leaders cannot hereafter claim immunity under the plea of ‘political necessity.” The game is in their own hands— the selection of the best men rests with them— and it isa duty they owe to the people that they shall select none but the best. Assured of this, the people will go to the polls on the 7th of December next and vote for the Tammany nominees—in the absence of other candidates, No matter. Such is political life at the present time in our city. Our CoastiInG VrssELs.—No one who has observed our coasting vessels on the Sound eun have failed to notice how many of them are dangerously overladen, The wreck of the | schooner Margaret Kennedy during the late storm is an evidence of this kind of greed, ex- emplified in the endeavor to make small ves- sels do the duty of large ones. This schooner carried a load of a hundred and twenty-eight tons of coal, and was literally laden to the water's edge, Thus an ordinary accident—to say nothing of a hurricane—inight at any moment have swamped her, It was probably for this reason that theg ptain “1 pilot aban- doned the vessel, leaving Ger to t © eaving Bare Of the mate and his heroic wife, who gallantly held on to her until she went dowa, and then saved themselves only with the utmost difficulty. If these vessels are insured—and we presume they are—the Board of Underwriters should see to it that they are not so much overladen as to place them in imminent peril. The wonder is that half of them, carrying brick, coal and lumber, ever reach their destination | at all; for the decks of most of them are rarely more than a few inches above the water level. Rarw Grow 1. —When the reservoirs of the system that now supplies Brooklyn with water were planned it was thought they would be equal to all the increase there might be in the growth of the city for forty years; but already the growth has been such that the supply is only a little beyond the daily demand, and the water authorities are looking out to increase it. Spectre Pay 's. Attorney General Hoar, Senator Sumner and many others of the leading political lights of the day are anxious for an immediate return to specie payments; but they all fail to tell us how two or three hundred millions in gold dre to redeem twenty- five hundred millions in paper. Mr. Sumner's lecture on “Caste,” with especial reference to the coming Chinaman, did not present the subject in any especially new or striking light; but the country is glad to have one more evidence that the liberal Europe last summer, and but ill concealed while the honors of the occasion were being leading minds of the government look with favor on Asiatic emigration, Dr. Livingstone’s Report—Discovery of the Sources of the Nile. We reproduced yesterday from the London Post of November 9 the report of Dr. Living- stone on his explorations and the sources of the Nile. This report was read on the even- ing ot the 8th inst., at the opening meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, in the Theatre of the Royal Institution, London, Sir R. Murchison, the president, in the chair. The Count de Paris, the.Duke of Wel- lington, Sir Bartle Frére and Mr. Crawford, M. P., were among the crowded and fashion- able attendance on this memorable occasion. Dr. Livingstone’s report is dated ‘‘Near Lake Bangweolo, South Central Africa, July, 1868,” It begins with a reference to his despatch dated February, 1867, in which he had recorded his impression that he was then on the watershed between the Zambesi and either the Congo or the Nile. More extended observation subsequently convinced him that his impression was essentially correct, and with his habitual modesty he announces one of the most glorious discoveries in the annals of modern geographical exploration by saying:—“‘I think I may safely assert that the chief sources of the Nile arise between ten degrees and twelve degrees south latitude, or nearly in the position assigned to them by Ptolemy, whose river Rhapta is pro- bably the Rovuma.” The short sketch of his dis- coveries which he then proceeds to give conclu- sigely shows that the springs of the Nile have hitherto heen searched for very much too far to the north. ‘‘They-rise some four hundred miles south of the most southerly portion of the Victoria Nyanza, and, indeed, south of all the lakes except Bangweolo.” We need not reca- pitulate the details of Dr. Livingstone’s jour- ney from the valley of the Loangwa over the upland space some three hundred and fifty miles square, south of Lake Tanganyika; the country of Usango, east of that space; the southern end of the great valley enclosed be- tween Usango and the Kone range; across the Chambeze in ten degrees thirty-four minutes south, and its confluents south and north, with theirhippopotami; the mountains of Rua; the upland, on the northern slope of which he dis- covered on the 2d of April, 1867, Lake Liemba, in the midst of ‘‘as perfect a natural paradise as Xenophon could have desired ;” and of this a full and minute description is given; towards the west of Tan- ganyika, avoiding the district disturbed by a war between the chief of Itawa and a party of ifory traders from Zanzibar; his visit to Nisama, the chief of Itawa; to Lake Moero ; to Cazembe, and north towards Ujiji, which he could not reach on account of the inundations. Dr. Livingstone gives a vivid account of the in- undations which obliged him to return to Cam- beze. Only one of his attendants would ac- company him as far as he was able to go; the others on various pretences absconded. ‘‘The fact is,” he says, ‘they are all tired of this everlasting tramping, and so verily am I. Were it not for an inveterate dislike to give in to difficulties without doing my utmost to over- come them I would abscond too. I comfort myself with the hope that by making the country and people botter known Iam doing good, and by imparting a little knowledge oc- casionally I may be working, In accordance with the plans of an all-embracing Providence.” In such simple and noble language does the illus- trious explorer reveal the secret motives of the ambition which leads him to expose his life in behalf of science and the welfare of mankind. It is not at all surprising that this passage and other eloquent passages in his report were greeted with applause at the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society. The justifiable complaints which Dr. Livingstone makes of certain persons who have fallen into ridiculous blunders by tampering with his mathematical observations also provoked and merited sym- pathy. Toa postscript he consigns in a char- acteristic style, under the head of ‘Always something new from Africa,” an allusion to his discovery of a large tribe that lives in under- ground houses in Rua, Many other travellers would have written a volume about such a discovery, but Dr. Livingstone contents bhim- self with a brief mention of it. The whole civilized world will rejoice in the announce- ment by the President of the Royal Geographi- eal Society that the great problem of the sources of the Nile has been solved—that the road is open to his illustrious friend, whose return, he said, might be expected within a few months, and who would receive a welcome such as few Englishmen have ever expe- rienced. Tue Peasopy Monumenr Funp—A Soan- pDALovs Scenk.—A meeting was to have been held in the Stock Exchange on Saturday for the purpose of raising a fund for» monument 4o the late George Peabody; but the gathering turned out to be a most scandalous affair, almost unworthy of Five Points rowdies. the Stock Exchange can pay no higher com- pliment to the memory of Mr. Peabody the members of that howling wilderness had better leave the duty to some other body. It is not likely, however, that the respectable members of the Board are responsible for the disgrace- ful interruptions which occurred on Saturday. Indeed, Mr. Bloodgood, the temporary trea- surer of the fund, has called a meeting at his office in William street for to-morrow with a view to take proper action in the matter. ComMoporg VANDERBILT AMoNG THE Law- yers.—The lawyers have found a tough cus- tomer in Commodore Vanderbilt. In the re- markable case of the Erie Railway Company vs, Cornelius Vanderbilt, before Judge Ingra- ham, in the Supreme Court, the great railway king was very closely questioned and cross- questioned, but the lafyers knew just about as much after all this as they did before. The Commodore knew very little about the case or the transactions connected with it, and what little he did know was eo qualified as to make the evidence of no value. The lawyers can no more trip him up than the Wall street specula- tors, and we advise them not to spend their precious time in vain. Let Us Have It.—The Grand Jury brings no indictment of any individual as the result of its investigation of the great gold muddle; but it has an opinion that much of the testi- mony taken will be very interesting to the people, and thinks it ought to be made public. The jury thus proposes a presentment at the bar of public opinion, which is not a bad idea. Let us have the testimony by all means, If, News and Rumors About Cuba. It is evident from our correspondence from Cuba that the revolutionary patriots are more determined and are exhibiting more vigor than the rest of the world gives them credit for. They are burning the sugar plantations, and even their own property, in order to weaken their enemies by cutting off the resources the Spaniards have been relying upon. This is touching the Spaniards in a tender place, for they have been calculating upon seizing the sugar crops and other productions for the means to carry on the war. In other words, they intended to slaughter the Cubans and to subjugate themif possible by using the wealth of these very Cubans for that purpose. Spain istoo poor to carry on long such an exhaus- tive war as that in Cuba, unless she can draw resources from the island itself, The Cubans have wisely determined not to supply the means for the Spaniards to cut their throats with, This may seem a terrible alternative and a fearful destruction of valuable property, but it is the natural result of war, and to the Cubans may be the price of liberty. It may prove a merciful measure in the end, just as the terrible, destructive raid of Sherman's army through the Southern States led to the immediate closing of our civil war. The revo- lutionary government of Cuba, under Cespe- des, is showing extraordinary vigor and deter- mination, _We hekr from Washington, too, that the Administration is likely soon to take a decisive course with regard to Cuba, The remarkable naval movements in and to the West Indies, as well as other movements of the government, indicate this. But it said the object is kept secret, ‘and therefor it ig pot known on which side the government is going io act. There cor- tainly is no necessity for a naval force to sup- port Spain, nor for any action of the govern- ment whatover for that purpose, even should the government be so cruel and so far forget its duty to the cause of republican liberty and to the sentiment of the American people. Spain has been sustained too much and too long, in an indirect way, in its brutal war upon the Cubans. Any change that may be con- templated, therefore, must be in favor of Cuban Independence. Nor have we any doubt that the President and Congress will soon act in accordance with public sentiment in this country, and throw the weight of the gov- ernment on the side of republican liberty and the independence of Cuba, The Theatres. The present week closes Miss Bateman’s brilliant career of triumph at Booth’s theatre— a triumph for the best interests of art as well as for those of the gifted lady who has for the past nine wecks amply satisfied the most critical and the very largest audiences ever assembled in this city. The effect of such performances cannot be over-estimated. It is not too much to say that the true dignity of woman’s nature has never been developed more strongly than by Mary Warner, the mechanic’s wife, and that the tears shed so profusely by auditors of all classes over her wrongs and sorrows may serve to wash away the stains of frivolity from fair cheeks that had forgotten to blush at the gross extravagances which have too long degraded our stage. Such acting as Miss Bateman’s and such plays as ‘“‘Mary Warner” go far to make the drama a recognized moral power in the State. At Wallack’s and at Daly’s fine old comedies end some of the best modern plays are repre- sented with unusual attention to costume and scenic effects, and by excellent companies. At the French theatre the drama of ‘‘London” has made a hit with its panorama of the streets of the great metropolis and its splendid scenes of London Bridge, Charing Cross and the London Docks. At Niblo’s the vivacious Lotta will sparkle this week in the “Kire Fly.” Tammany, with the Hanlon Brothers ; the New York Circus, with its Arabs and its regular troupe; Tony Pastor's, with Nelse Seymour and Signor Bliss; the Bowery, with Edwin Blanchard and his great dogs; the Theatre Comique, with its spectral ballet; the Olympic, with its domestic dramas and screaming farces; and Wood’s Museum, with Yankee Robinson and the Howsons and its menagerie, certainly offer an abundant variety of winter evening entertainments. Tho suc- cess of the English Opera troupe at the Grand Opera House has been decided, and the Phil- harmonic Society will give its first grand con- cert next Saturday evening. The theatrical and the musical world in New York, seems, therefore, to be satisfied, even.in the absence of any startling novelties, But the managers are well aware that our theatre-goers are neyer long contented without, at least, an expectation of something $f8ter and mor startling than they have already seen and applauded. Like the Athenians of old they are eager for ‘‘something new.” What will be the next sensation? ‘‘That’s the question.” Iv 1s Fruisnep anv Livgs,—The Suez Canal isa complete succogs, Forty-five steam yes- sels have run through it to Suez in excellent time and really good order. The depth of water is sufficient, but the route will, it is said, be deepened. The Empress of France will lead the return fleet on ita voyage downward in the yacht L'Aigle. Waghorn and Lesseps are to haye statues at Suez, This is meet and proper; the great English traveller who had faith in his journey through India, side by side with the great French worker who combined faith, hope and charity in belief and deeds and work, The world is more one and larger to-day. Avotuer Woman's Oraan is proposed with the title of the Woman's World. The Revo- lution does not answer them, or the cause grows at such a rate that it needs more utter- ance. It matters not which ; the women should be heard as much as possible, and those of their number who have money may as well spend it in founding journals asin any other way. Surarons or students must have more re- spect for common humanity and public senti- ment than to permit preserved “specimens” or the remains of dissections to find their way into the ash barrels; otherwise they will pro- voke a demonstration of that kind of popular will that has several times made the pursuit of knowledge in dissecting rooms very dan merous, nn From Europe—Our Special Correspondence, Our elaboration of the cable telegrams from Europe, by special written correspon- dence, published in our columns to-day, includes the history of events in the Old World to the 9th of the present month. The exhibit is of a very varied importance, spirited and accurate in detail and unique of its kind in its vivacity and attractiveness of expression. Onr writer in Paris anticipates, a8 it were, the great electoral struggle which will take place be- tween imperialism and the advocates of mode- rate legitimate reform which commenced in that city yesterday, by describing the relative posi- tion and candidates of each party, noting at the same time opportunely how pertinaciously the selfish or fanatic worshippers of socialism and communism—of even the once dethroned Goddess of Reason—hover on the flanks of either party, watching for an opportune moment at which to enter a wedge calculated for the ultimate severance of the bond which unites the industrial masses just now to the centres of authority, law andorder. From Constantinople comes a report of royal visits from North Germany, Italy and Austria to the Sultan, with a description of the fino fétes with which his Majesty received his new guests, the Emperor Francis Joseph enjoying an ovation very little inferior in its magnificence and popular demonstyations of respect to that which haa just eon accorded to the Empress of the French on her first lading. Our letters from Rome and London speak of the Ecumen- ical Council, the writer in the British metrop- olis enumerating and illustrating the number and work of the former boars, seen of the Chureh gf Rome in a véFy instructive manner, His Holiness the Pope received solid tokens of homage and respect from California and Canada—@ California silver nugget which was presented to him requiring the united exertions of eight soldiers of the Papal Guards to carry it to the fedt gf the Pontiff. Scotland was engaged in attending fo the im- portant matter of national public education, while the streets of London had a sensation in the social resurrection of the man Hare, the alleged accomplice of Burke, the murderer, who was hanged in Edinburg in January, 1829, just forty years since, Mr. Hare coming forth in the garb of a Regent street beggar- man. It is the world of to-day; its politics, governments, devotion, enjoyments and retri- butions photographed before the American people in the pages of the Heratp, “Tne Two Reornt Storms that have blown so many ships ashore and done other damage have at least one very satisfactory aspect. They have blown up to us from southern cli- mates the heated air that has given us for some days a temperature scarcely more severe than that of September. This is satisfactory in view of the price of coal. MUSICAL REVIEW. ‘The tone of musical publications this season 1s of & more elevated and refined character than that of many seasons past, and trash 1s fast giving place to genuine merit, Reprints of classical and operatic music and selections from the best European com- posers of the present day, with excellent American works, crowd the shelves of the publishers, instead of worthless emanations of London concert saloons and minstrel halls. The exorbitant prices hitherto charged for every piece of music have been also considerably modified, and cheap music is now the rule, not the exception, at every establishment, We are glad to find that earnest and persistent efforts in behalf of justice towards the public and composers In music publishing have been crowned with success.
