EGYPT. @ Suez Canal Inauguration Fleet at Suez— Forty-five Steam Vessela Run Through The Navigation, Depth of Writer ond Time—Wagheorn’s and Ledhopn’ Staiues—The Empress of France to Lead the Return Trip. SvEz, Sunday, Nov, 21, 1869, Via Alexandria, The canal inaugnration fleet, consisting ot forty-five steamers, has arrived here. None were obliged to employ pilots. The only difficulty they had was owing to their numbers. Some were crowded upon the banks of the canal several times, but they got off without troubie, the sandy bottom neither hold- ing nor hurting them. On leaving Ismailia several steamers fouled with each other, but no serious damage was done. ‘The water in the canal between this point and Is- mailia is full twenty feet deep at the shallowest spot, and in several parts it is less than twenty-five feetin Gepth; but at ali these points the canal can easily be deepened. Steamers drawing fifieen feet can wavigate the canal from Port Said to Suez with ease in fifteen hours. The water does not wash away the banks as much @s was apprelicnded, The comple.c success of the great work exceeds all expectat The arrangements for transporiing and taking care of the visifors here are generally exceilent. Alt the rolling stock on the Alexandria, Catro and Suez Railroad has been brought into requisiiion to trans- port the immense crowds of visitors, The mailstoand from Indta have been much delayed in consequence, The canal is now clear of shipping, the entire fleet having anchored in the harbor of Suez. To-morrow the statue of Waghorn, the English- what who first ob the building of the canal, will be erected here, and on Tuesday the ‘ect will @tart on its return to Port Said. There a statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps, the builder and president director of the canal, wili be raised. With this last ceremony the /éres of the inaugura- tion will probably terminate, The Empress Euegnie will return through ‘the canal with the fect, her yacht, the Aigie, taking the lead, as on the downwara trip. ‘The Emperor of Austria En Route from Suez.

THE STORM. The Gale Along the Hudson—Its Effects in Hudson—Destruction of the Bridge at Stockport. Hupson, Nov. 21, 1869. Aheavy gale of wind prevailed here yesterday, which was more severe in its effects in this imme- diate vicinity than that of last Wednesday, and the destruction of property in the surrounding country has been great. in this city the spire of the Presby- terlan church was partially blown over, and a por- tion of it was carried some distance. The building in the public square Known asthe Anable block was unroofed and damaged toa considerable extent. In ditferen: parts of the city chimneys and feaces were blown down.

A Wealthy South Carolinian Arrested for Attempted Crime=A Young Woman in the CasemA Test Case on the Tapis. On Saturday last a man giving his name as Andrew Moran, of Anderson Court House, 8, was arrested on a warrant issued by Judge Lec- with at Jeferson Market, together with a young lady about elghtcen years of age, named Caroline Tuller, of the same place, ard both parties were locked up for the night. The case 1s certainly, in this city at least, @ novel one, and may, perhaps, tend much toward the suppression of a shocking crime for which the whole country, whether de- servedly or not, is obtaining great proverbiality, The complaint was made by Mrs. Charlotte I. Lozier, M. D., of No. 323 West Thirty-fourth street, who charges the defendant Moran with attempting to procure abortion upon the person of Miss Tuller, and alleges that on Friday last Miss Tuller came to her office, stated that she was enceinte and asked advice. Mrs, Lozier advised the young laay against taking any violent measures in the matter, and Miss ‘fuller finally leit. On Saturday, however, Mr. Moran, the pb sh and confessed father of the unborn child, called upon Mrs, Lozier, and, with great effrontery and every-day, off-hand business air, made a proposal to Mrs. Lozier to bring about remature delivery. Upon being remonstrated with e became more importunate and somewhat acy,’ and Mrs, Lozier, finding that advice was unavailing, had nim arrested, as above stated, under & statute of 1864, which bas hitherto been practically a cead letter, but which makes even the attempted procurement of this crime an offence punishabie by imprisonment, Mrs, Lozier will be recognized as one of the ladies ne, identitied with the “Working Women’s ssociation” of this city, and also a8 a lady who, in conjunction with Mrs, Susan B, Anthony and other ladies, took a Lael rt in securing the pardon of Hester Vaughan, havi waited upon the Gover: nor of Pennsylvania to h his clemency in Hester's behal/, and having also visited her whilein prison. In the present case Mrs. Lozier desired to spare Miss Tuller trom arrest, but upon being informed that both parties must be arrested she reluctantly acceded. Mr. Moran came to this city with his wife and Miss Tulier, who 1s also his relative, and en- d apartments at the St. Denis Hotel. Upon ing taken before Justice Ledwith both parties were held to await examination and Tuesday fixed as the time for a hea Yesterday, howeve: irs. Lozier appeared at the court and certified that Miss Tuller had not solicited the operation in any manner, therefore not belli amenable to the law, though she had in her A por mental distress, consequent upon her disgraced and painful position, tacitly consented to subinit to any- thing to hide her shame. Miss Tuller was thereupon discharged, but Moran was held, Mrs. Lozier states that sne was prompted to this course solely by a desire to check the present systematized and ‘“pro- fessional” crimes of infanticide and forticide, and it ia well known that she has frequently made it the subject of severe denunciation in public meetings. joran 18 reported to be see wealthy, and offered Mrs. Lozier, through @ third party, $1,000 to with- the cliarge. ‘The case will prove of great inter. on in a moral sense, and the examination will doubtiess proceed to-morrow, Mr. John Sedgwick has been retaiued as counsel for the delence. WASHINGTON. War With the Montana Indians in Prospect. The Canadian Privy Council on Reciprocity With the United States, Commercial Relations With the Argentine Republic. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 1800. Indian Affairs in Montana. Mr. W. P. Longford, of Montana Territory, has arrived in this city for the purpose of bringing to the attention of the President the condition of Indian affairs in that region. A number of murders are reported, ana it is the intention, authority having been obtained from the Executive, to try the Indians under formal indictment, and if found guilty to punish them according to the laws in the case of citizens, The condition of things in Montana is not considered satisfactory, and the anticipations of a grand outbreak among the Indian tribes at an early date grows stronger every day. Reciprocity With Cannda—The Fishery License System. A telegram from Ottawa, dated November 18, Published on Friday morning, states on what is termed good authority “that there is no truth in they report from Washington that the government of the Dominion had threatened retallatory measures tf the present restrictions on commercial intercourse ‘was continued by the United States.” The report from Washingvoa, as contained in the Washington telegram of the 14th instant, and to which the Ottawa despatch refers, made use of no such words as “threatened” or “retaliation.” The exact ex- pression was as follows:— The Canadian authorities havo notified our gov- ernment, through official documents, that uniess the trade between the two countries is arranged 80 as to be somewhat reciprocal, they fear they will be unable to withstand the pressure from all parts of the Dominion, urging them to do away with the system of fishery licenses, and compel American fishermen to remain outside of the three mile limit of the shores of Canada; to establish duty on foreign coal, so as to give the market of Western Canada to Nova Scotia coal, instead of having It supplied, as at present. from Pennsylvania and Ohio; to place an export duty on pine lumber, and an import duty on American breadstuffs, a large market for which ts now found tn Canada, under the present Canadian tariff, the returns from the last year showing the value of breadstutts, barley, wheat, &c., imported from the United States into Canada of $12,282,561. The authority for the above statement is ample, and is contained in the budget speech of the Canadian Finance Minister in the Dominion Parlia- ment on the 7th of May last, in which he said, speaking of the Commercial relations between the United States ana Canada:— We may now fairly say to our neighbors, the United States, thia state of things has gone on for three or four years, but you must understand It can- not continue, The time may soon come when we may require to have a national policy of our own, when the exceptional interests to which I have alluded, which are now suffering with special sever- ity, will have to be considered 10 this House. But I do not think the time to do this is when we may be on the eve of opening up negotiations on the whole question. ‘These remarks were made in deprecation of the attempts by Members of the House to impose duties on American products. With special regard to the fisheries, a return has just been published by the Dominion government in reply to an address of the House of Commons and which is to be laid before that body in February next, containing reports of the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, which embody several strong declarations as to the temporary character of the fishery license system and urges the government to yield to the prayers of the Nova Scotia fishing interests by abandoning the license system and thus excluding American fishermen from their waters. The Privy Council of Canada fully endorsed the Miniater’s views, saying that the license system “was adopted on the distinct under- standing that unless some satisfactory arrangement between the two countries be made during tne course of the year this privilege will cease, and all concessions made in the treaty of 1864 will be tiable to be withdrawn.” And they continue:- ‘The Privy Council cannot refrain from respectfully impressing upon his Excellency (the Governor Gene- ral) the urgency of communicating without further delay to the American government the course de- cided on, as they feel, should this not be done, ad- vantage may be taken to continue the present sys- tem for still another year, Already has decisive action been deferred in the hope that certain indications of a returning disposition towards renewed com- mercial intercourse, which were perceptible in the United States, would lead to proposals obviating the necessity for any special policy on the fishery, ques- tion. These, however, have not as yet led ¢ any- thing definite, and the subject being in this instance more urgent than when, two years ago, it was pressed on the decision of the Canadian govern- ment by Mr. Secretary Cardwell (the British Colo- nial Secretary), itis of the highest importance that no further time should be lost. The entire pamphiet is full of expressions of a similar character, including the following from Mr. Mitchell, the Minister of Marine and Fisheries:— Under all of these circumstances it is respectfully but earnestly submitted whether the system of licensing United States fishing vessels, ayowedly a provisional one and implying no, principle, should now be absolutely discontinued, and that it shall, in the future, give place to a definite policy of exclu- sion, agreeable to colonial interests and consistent ‘with national dignity and rights, The Argentine Republic—Tie English Diffie culty—Important Reduction on American Imports=The Wool Trade with the United States. It has been ascertained from an official source that the report recentiy published concerning the English claim against the Argentine Republic 1s a misstatement of the facts. The truth is that there was no confiscation of British property and no menace of force on the part of: tle British govern- ment against the Argentine Republic. The question at issue was discussed solely through diplomatic notes, and is merely of claims for damages preferred by a coal dealer on a shipment of coal. Reverdy Johnson, it is true, has been selected as the arbitersin the case. ‘rhe Argentine customs law reduces the tariff on some of the American imports and exports for 1870. Importers of lumber and ploughs to the Argentine Republic will be interested to learn that the reduction of duties on those articles is from twenty-three to fifteen per centum—a reduction equal to an average of four dollars in gold per thousand feet on lumber and sixty cents in gold on @ plough. Export duties on unwashed wool and sheepskins have aiso been reduced from six to two and a half per cent for 1870. A pamphlet bas just appeared, entitled “Remarks concerning the means to re-establish the declining state of commerce between the United States and the Argentine Republic, by the proper reduction of the present tariffs.” The fact is stated that the quantity of Argentine wool purchased by the United States was only §,100,000 pounds in 1867, having been Nearly 28,500,000 previous to the adoption of the new tariff. The pamphlet concludes by pressing upon Congress the necessity and propriety of a reduction of some rates of duty, on the grouud that a reduction on import duties on wool and hides will be profitable to everybody interested in the commercial prosperity of the American manufac- tures and trade, as well as benefictal to national income and Argentine producers and consumers of American commodities. FINE ARTS. ‘The Doré Art Union seems to have opened under the most favorabie auspices. During the past week more than 6,000 persons have visited the exhtbi- tion and 2,000 subscribers have joined the Union. Clubs have been organized in Washington and Cin- cinnati, each member paying fifty cenis, #0 as to make up five or ten dollar lots. Similar clubs might well be formed in this city, The objectionable fea. tures of the lottery are eliminated from this enter- prise, full ue being returned in books and exqui- site photographs by Kurtz of Dore’s principal works, in addition to the chance offered for obtaining as Be the great pictures and drawings of the tlius- rious master. M. Arymar, the proprictor of the works exhibited at tle Dore Art Union, has pur- oli from Launt Thompson, the sculptor, his beautiful marble medallion of ‘Klaine’ for $1,000, together with his marble bust of Bryant for $1,500. Both of these fine specimens of American art have thus been added 4s prizes to the Doré Art Union. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. Engiish opera at the Grand Opera House bas been exceedingly well patronized during the past week, which, in @ great measure, is owing to the fact of the regular prices of admission which were estab- lished at this house some time ago being still aa- hered to, thereby enabling our music-loving citizens to enjoy the operas without being fleeced by exor- bitant charges. In this Mrs, Richings-Bernard, under whose direction the present season of English opera 1s being given, has displayed much good sense, and appearances indicate that the remaining three weeks of the season Will be as liberally patronized as was the first. This evening we are to have “The Bohemian Girl,” with a grand ballet by the Sangalll ballet troupe. Lotta this evening enters upon the fourth week of her successful engagement at Nibio’s Garden, where she appears as the dastiing and vivacious Fire Fly, in Falconer’s military drama of the same name. Lotta appeared in this drama a litde more than a year ago at Wallack’s theatre, and in it she achieved one of her most brilliant successes. At Niblo’s she Isto be supported by astrong company, and the piece isto be provided with all the accessortes of new and appropriate scenery, thereby making it quite possible for the piece to have another long run. “Poor Humanity” has been shelved ut the Olym- pic, and In its stead we ate to be mtroduced this evening to ‘The Lost Will,’ a highly moral and do- mestic drama, which was first brought out in London some years ago, but which has never, up to the present time, been produced in this city. The pie ce will have the advantages of new scenery and an ex- ceedingly strong cast, including Measrs. Wm. Hol- ston, J. B. Studley, J. K. Mortimer and Miss Ida Vernon. In addition to “The Lost Will” the scream- ing farce of ‘I'he Lottery Ticket” is also upon the bills for the present week, and will 1orm the second part of the evening entertatnments. “Home” is in the third week of its success at Wal- lack’s theatre and is still delighting and attractin, large audiences. The piece retains all its original freshness and evidently possesses sufficient charms to hold the boards for weeks to come. With.each successive representation the play apparently im- proves: as do also the actors and actresses. Mr. ester Wallack, who sustains the leading rdle in “Home,” likewige appears nightly in “A Regular Fix,” in which piece he is as much at home as in “Home.’? Miss Bateman this evening enters upon the tenth and last week of her engagement at Booth’s theatre, where she continues to impersonate the trials and tribulations of the unfortunate Mary Warner, ‘Those who fatlto see Miss Bateman in this drama will miss a genuiue dramatic treat, and, as it 18 announced for but six more representations, It 1s more than probable that the house wiil be crowded every night during the week. Miss Bateman next week gives two performances in Brooklyn, after which she goes to Philadelphia to fulfll a four weeks’ engagement. She will be followed at Booth’s by Mr. James H. Hackett, in a round of his great FalstaMan impersonations, At the French theatre the realistle drama of ‘‘Lon- don” has evidently struck a vein of public curiosity, and promises, therefore, to achieve a deserved su0- cess, The audiences increase with each successive representation and the general interest in its produc- tion is thus made manifest, Several of the scenes in the plece are nightly applauded, and the efforts of thie leading members of the cast have attracted Nigh critical encomium. The drama is now booked for a Prosperous run. ‘The present will be a week of variety and comedy at the Fifth Avenue theatre. Mr, E. L. Davenport will make his #enirée this evening at this house in “London Assurance,” and will be supported by the full strength of Manager Daly’s excelient company. During the remainder of the week We are to have “A New Way to Pay Old Debts,” “Ola Heads and Young Hearts” and “Everybody's Friend.” Miss ‘Theresa Sherls, a new caadidate tor histrionic favors, will make ler debut in “A New Way to Pay Old Debts.” Novelty and variety are still the attraction at Wood's Museum. “A Yankee in China’? will constt- tute the evening's dramatic entertainment during the present week, with the burlesque of “Aladdin’’ as the feature at the matinée. In addition to these the rearing menagerie of wild beasts is in itself a great inducement for families and students to pay & visit to this establishment. At the Bowery theatre drama and pantomime will be the chief attractions during the present week. ‘This evening we are vo have Blancnard and his dog Cario in ‘fhe Dog of the Toil House,” after which he pantomime of ‘Love in a Tub” will finish the per- formance Tammany this week again tickles its myriad patrons with another great varieties bill, including aerial gymnastics, songs, ballet, farce and panto- mime. The Hanlon Brothers, who are in the last week of their engagement in the “big wigwam,’”’ continue to toy with death in the most foolnardy manner, and are nightly eucored in their great breakneck act, as ure also the littie midgets. Miss Fanny Herring is underlined at this establishment and will make her appearance at an early dav. The 1ucitre Comique, by presenting too many “stars” to the public, compelled its rival, the Wa- verley theatre, to close, and now has things all its own way on Broadway. The bill for the present week at this fouse Is again crowded with “stars” of various magnitudes, each of which will twinkle in oa Specialties for the deiectation of the public. ‘rhe elongated Nelse Seymour makes his appear- ance this evening at Tony Pastor’s Opera House, in conjunction with “a host of other talent,” and will doubtless set the house in a roar with his peculiar eccentricities. A new come drama, entitied ‘The Dutchman’s Wife,” will aiso be presented, with the 1ull swengta of the company tn the cast, The general reliearsal of the Philharmonic Society will be held on next Friday afternoon, at the Academy of Music. On Saturday the grand Philhar- monic Concert will be given at the same place, upon which occasion Carl Bergmann, Miss Alide Topp and Mrs. Scott-Siddons will appear. ‘This evening the Bedouin Arabs and the New York Circus vroupe will appear for the first time in a grand display of somersaulting over horses, as weil as in the sensational act which the Arabs have been giv- ing for the past three weeks. The new act promises to be a very spirited and exciting one. At the hall of the San Francisco Minstrels Legget and Allen are still legging it to the delight of thou- sands. ‘The great quartet are also warbling for the amusement of the same thousands, who are also tickled With various laughable Ethiopian skeiches and comicalities, which would even convulse a Pennsylvania Dutchman, ‘The great “Shoo, Fly,” business at Bryant's Min- strel Hall is beyond a doubt the great minstrel sensation of the season, Itis whistled by the boys in the street and hummed by business men in their offices, ‘Children cry for it,’ and old maids sigh orit. This in a measure attests its great popu- arity. In addition to “Shoo, Fiy,” the bill at Bry- ant’s this week is replete with fun, frolic, and en- jJoyable nonsense. At the vark theatre, Brooklyn. “The Mariner's Compass” is still the attraction, with Mr. and Mra. Conway in the principal res, poth of whom “box the coinpass’* in the most approved manner. Munstrelsy at Hooley’s Opera House, Brooklyn, 18 in a very fourishing condition. Burnt corx “stars’’ in song and dance are the special features of attrac- tlon at this house for the present week. DARING ESOAPE OF A CONVICT. Pistols Presented at an Official’s Head—IHis Charge Rescued by Roughs—The Prisoner and His Friends Captured. Some days ago a notorious thief of the Fourth ward, named Andrew Coakley, was sentenced at the Court of Special Sessiovs to Blackwell’s Island Pent- tentiary for six months, Coakley has many sympa- thetic friends, amongewhom are Jim Gibbons and “Scotch Level,” of the Fourth ward, whose charac- ters will bear no closer scrutiny than his own, Yesterday Coakley was taken from the Tombs to the foot of West Fifty-eighth street by an officer and put on board the Charity Hospital boat for the pur- pose of being transported across the river to the apartments ‘awaiting him. Just as the voat had left the pler a party of roughs in another boat, headed by Gibbons and ‘Scotch Level,’ rowed alongside, drew cocked revoivers and demanded the prisoner. The keeper, in danger of his Life, surrendered Coakley, aud the vagabonds, after landing, hurried away 1n & horse and wagon provided for the purpose, The circumstances of the rescue were promptly communicated to the Central police office and sent out ona general alarm. ‘This occurred about tweive o’clock—half an hour after the rescue. A few hours later Captain Allaire, of the Fourth precinct, and 1s officera, who were on the alert, urrested Coakley and his de- liverers, Scotch Level and Gibbons, in Eiizabeth street, and locked them up. It 19 said that others besides the two named above assisted tn the attack upon the boat's crew. [tis said that Level received @ bullet through the haud, fired by one of the crew of the hospital boat.
