Fire at Ismailia. A telegram to Paris states that a fire having broken outon Friday night, November 14, im the town of Ismailia, the workmen of the company rivalled the Egypuan soldiers in their zeal and were enabled to master the conflagration in a few hours.

To THE EpITOR OF THE LONDON TIM Sik—in your issue of the 19th ult. you were good enough to publish a letter of mine giving an account of the attermpted voyage of the Lati€ from Port said to Ismailia, via the Suez Canai—an account very different from that published by the Suez Canal Company. Mr. Lange, while tacitly admitting the greater portion of my statement to be correct, absolutely denies that the Lattif ever grounded in any part of the canal. I assert that the Lattif grounded not once, but four tumes, the last and most serious time ten and a a fourth kilometres of Kantara; that she touched the ground slightly ten or eleven times; that at the last shock she broke the propeller of her screw; that she is otherwise damaged, and that she has since been and now 1s in the dry floating dock, undergoing repairs. 1 believe Mr. Lange is on his way to Egypt, and he will then be able to verify this statement. In the meanwhile, though an “ambusued"? correspondent— as those speaking the truth in Egypt must needs ve—I can assure him that] have a better authority for my statement of the voyage of the Lanf tian that of any person who was not present. May I be allowed to say, in conclusion, that the cause of the canal isnot rendered popular by these conunual misstatements, to wiich 1am sorry to see that Mr. Lange (in ignorance, I presume), gives ‘weight of his naine?

Concerning the Sultan's voyage to Egypt, m order to be presence at the opening of the Suez Uanal, it is now certain that such a condescension on his part, under the circumstances of tne stil pending v serious duferences between bim and the Knedy could not conveniently be acceded to. The proj has, therefore, been definitely abandoned. Mf lam rightly informed, these differences are gradually approaching @ culininating point. But how the Matter stands at this present moment is not very clear. Some generally weil informed persons pré- tend to know that @ Turkish ultimatur is on the eve of departure from Constantinople in order to urge a definitive and positive reply from the Viceroy in answer to the formal demands of the Porte; while others aver tat such an answer has already arrived at Constantinople. Of these two ver- sions, I incliue to give @ preference to the former. There can be no Gonbt, also, as to the fact that his ellency Count Beust has used and Bull continues to Use his utmost etforts im advising we Porte not to stretch his formal rigits beyond cer- tain limits; while, on the other hand, the occasion ‘of his presence at Cairo will be made use of in order to dissuade the Viceroy against the adoption of any too positively deviating policy. 1 hardly know whether your readers will fully appreciate this diplo- matic parlance.

BRITAIN, THE LORD ARCHIBALD CAMP- PEACE FROM GOD AND BROTHERLY SALUTA~ TION IN CHRIST. Having received, with the greatest joy, the highly esteemed letter sent by your venerable sanctity to our humility, we Were moved to the inmost heart, as Was meet, both at the thanks you so Kindly ex- pressed to us for the fulfilment of what was at once a Christian and canonical duty in sending our Pro- tocyncellus to the consecration performed by the most beloved of God, the Bishop of Gibraltar, the Lord Charles Aumyand, and also at the communica- tion, In a spirit of brotherly love, of your desire and prayers that there may be upon earth one elect flock and one Ctuef Shepnerd—our Lord, uniting those that are divided, and guiding all, so that they may think and speak the same thing and work together for the increase of His kingdom, We also night and day, praying our God and Sa- viour for these very things, do not cease, on every occasion, both to rejoice and, so far as We can, to co-operate readily in every good work aud every good design tending to the edification and periec- uon of our neighbor, and to the enlightenment and common agreement of all, and to the unity that 1s in Christ Jesus. Nor do we only pray for this; but we also expect and anticipate it from the common Father, and from God the Saviour and from His Spirit; when many shall be taught, and the knowl- edge of the most ancient and unadulierated ortho- doxy shail be extended which the primitive and Catholic Chureh of Christ delivered to us, free srom error, through the apostolic heralds of God, and the God-vearing Father, and the seven venerable and God-moved Ecumenical Councils, But, as to the burial of your countymen, be it Known to your much-desired Holiness, that even if we had not been expressly exhorted and requested by any of the venerable Brtt- ish bishops, we would of ourselves have granted every permission to bury English strangers deceased within our cemeteries, at the request of their rela- uves; well knowing that ‘the earth is the Lord’s, and the fuliness thereof,’ This, then, we will much rather permit for the future, from consideration to your Ho- liness, beloved of Christ, and in recompense, as is meet, of the tribute of brotherly Kindness, on the sole condition that no private right of property 1s in any case acquired in the ground in which they are buried. Having very gratefully received the sacred Prayer Book of your Anglican Confession, presented to us by you, we have deterred an answer chiefly on this ac- count, that, having more leisurely perused this ecclesiastical book, We might more accuraiely ascer- tain how far it inclines to or diverges from genuine Evangelical and Catholic teaching; and how far it confirms that statement of the Preface (p. 7) that *1t contains nothing contrary to the Word of God and to sound doctrine.” In the meantuume, having gladly received the En- cyclical Episde published by the Anglican bishops assembled two years since in England, to which 1s prefixed the commendatory letter of your ever to be remembered Eminence, and percetvipg from it that they distinctiy confess and affirm, simply and in general, that they hold tirmly and mmovably the Holy Scriptures as the word of God, and that they maintain the Creeds of one Holy and Apostolic Churen, and keep pure and undefiled its ancient order and Worship * and reject all novelty, and are endeavoring to publish abroad in all the earth the saving preaching of the gospel; perceiy- ing, we say, ail Us so distinctly and generally alirmed in words, we rejoiwed greatly in our soul, suspecting the approach and dawn of the gathering together in one and the same fold of the Lord and the union of all the spiritual sheep everywhere. Rut on descending to the particulars of the con- tents of the Prayer Book, and of the distinguished confession of the Thirty-nine Articles coniained in it since in the perusal of them both the statements concerning the eternal existence of the Holy Spirit and those concerning the Divine Eucharist, and tur- ther, those concerning the number of the sacra- ments, concerning Apostolical and Ecclesiastical tradition, (he authority of the tra'y genuine ecu- menical councils, the position and mutual relations of the Church on earth and that in heaven; and, moreover, the honor and reverence due from us to those who are, in theory and practice, the heroes of the faith—the adamantine martyrs and athietes— since, we say, these statements appeared to us to savor too much of novelty; and that which is said (p. 502, Art. 19) “As the churenes of Jerusalem, Alexandria and Antioeh have erred, #0 aso the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of ceremonies, but also in matters of faith,” deprives tle Eastern Churches 01 the orthodoxy and perfection ot the faith (let ns be permitted to say that accusations of our weighbor are out of place in a distinguished coufession of faith)—these statements throw us into suspense, so that we doubt what we are to judge of the rale of Anglican orthodoxy, We would, tuere- fore, pray with our Whole soul to the author and iinisher of our salvation to enlighten the undertand- lug of all with the light of His Knowledge, and to make of all nations One speech of the one faith, and of the one love, aud of the one hope of the Gospel; that with one mouth and one heart, as merciful chil- aren of one and the same mother, the Cbhureh—the Catholic Church of the first begotten—we may gio- rity the Triune God. May His saving grace be with your holiness, dearly beloved to us in Christ, and with all the God beloved flock subject to you. SEPTEMBER 26, 1963.

About 4 month ago tour young men—one of whoin was ned kisher—were charged before Justice ‘with the larceny of a number of overcoats Valued ln the aggregate at somewhere near $100, In order fo allow Lhe introduction of certain missing, yet imp mony, the case was continued for & Week, the accused being remanded to the ceils in default of requisite bail. When the day for the second examination of the quartet arrived and the case Was called for hearing one of the policemen Interested in the arrest reported that the men had been released from custody by order of Judge McAlister, of the Recorder's Court, before whom they had been taken upon a writ of babeas corpus. ‘Lhe proper order was therefore entered on record by Clerk Vocke, and the little proceeding was soon forgotten. It now appears that of the four supposed thieves only three filed @ petition for habeas corpus, the wan Fisher being too poor to engage an attorney. He was consequently lett out in the cold, and remained in his cell after his more locky friends had been released, He bas been pa tently waiting Jor an examination ever since, and, owing to the carelessness of the policeman, Who reported hita #8 one of the acquitted ones, would provably bave continued to walt during the remain- der of his natural Mfe had not a mere accident re- ve led the truth in the matter, He was yesterday jeased from custody, and if he does not aue the city of Chicago for faise imprisonment it will be simply because no #hyster or speculate attorney of the Doason & Fogg style of architecture suc- ceeds 1D ferrewng Dim out-—-Chlcago Limes, Noy. 24, NEW YORK CITY. THE COURTS. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER'S 2QURT. The Lottery Cases. Before Commission Shields. The United States vs, Wood, Pmerson Rowe and Costigan.—This case has been repeatedly before the Courts and at the previous hearing was adjourned in orcer that the bonds Mled by the defendants with the Collector for the legal pursuit of their business as lottery dealers might be produced. The charge preferred against them was that they did not pay the special tax required by law. Mr. kthan Allen produced receipts showing that the defendants mentioned had paid the tax, and also handed in the bonds filed by then, Assistant District Attorney Jackson stated that inasmuch as the warrants upon which the defend- ants were arrested did not set forth ali the charges aud real questions involved he would move for the defendants’ discharge, since it was hardly fair to proceed against parties unless there was reasonable ground for supposing that the complaint could be substantiated, Commissioner Shields observed that the charge against the defendants was for not paying special tax as lottery dealers, Their counsel, uowever, pro- duced the receipts, which certainly disposed of that portion ol the complaint. ‘The case was accordingly dismissed. Smugeling Cigars. The United States vs, Isidore M, Bov--~As pre- viouzly menvioned the defendant is charged with smuggling 20,000 cigars, Evidence was adduced yesterday to show that the cigars purchased by de- Jendant from one Albran were not staimped as re- quired by jaw. The evidence having been concluded the case was adjourned UnUl this afternoon for the sumuing Up of counsel. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. Another Kennedy Habeas Corpus—The Pri- soner Discharged by Judge Ingraham. Before Judge Ingraham. In the Matter of the Habeas Corpus of Charles Cohn,.—The prisoner was arrested in this city wwo days ago by order of Superintendent Kennedy, on the faith of a telegraphic despatcn from the Chief of Police at Charleston, 8. C., which stated tnat he was charged with swindling to the amount of $10,000, accomplished by means of Iraudulent drafts. Mr. R. 8, Nichol and Judge Leonard appeared on behalf of the prisoner and moved for his discharge, on the ground that were was no authority for his arrest. Mr, Cummings, of the firm of Brown, Hall & Van- derpoel, asked for & postponement, and read a de- spalch from Charleston, requesting that the prisoner be held until a requisition could be sent PEW AY Judge Leonard opposed the adjournment, arid said he had looked carefully into the niatter and was satisfied it was @ mere effort to collect a civil debt. ‘This man had sent on money here to be banked with his usual bankers, and drew drafts against it, and it appeared that the party had failed to make the proper deposit. There was no pretence of a warrant or affidavit signed either here or in Charleston. Therefore Superintendent Keunedy had acted as officer and committing magistrate, and wholly without authority. Uf Mr, Cohn could be held without proper warrant so could any other citizen, and it was due in this case that the law should be vindicated by his prompt discharge. Judge Ingraham said if there was no authority for his arrest there could be none for his furtner deten- tion, and he would, therefore, order his immediate discharge. Mr. Coun then left the court, once more a free man. Decisions Rendered. by Judge Cardozo. Heinermann vs, Heard.—Proposed order amendment settled. Sancueis ts. Schnetder.—Deecree granted.

Carroll vs, Coughlin and Smith.—Judge Brady has delivered an opinion in this case, in which he holds that the acts authorizing mecnanics liens and their foreclosure develop an intention by the Legis- lature thavthe owner should possess the right to compel a speedy termination of yne validity of a lien against the property, which lenor should not retain simply because he chooses for any reason to delay during the greater part of the year given him to enforce his lien. ‘The reason for such @ construc- tion, he says, is obnoxious, and is—that the lien— and bemg an encumbrance upon the the pro- perty, affecting its value and also @ cloud upon the title, it should not be permitted to remain, if unauthorized by the facts, one moment beyond the time necessary w deter- mine in a legal mode its truthfulness, It is my opin- lon, therefore, that sections four, five, seven and ten of this law, considered together tn regard to the rights of the owner secured by their provisions, pro- vide that he may serve notice on the lienors to ap- pear, and if they fail to appear and file a statement of their claims within the time provided, that the court before which the lienors are called to appear may, ON proof Of service of the notiee and the taliure of the lenors stated, direct a judgment exempting the property trom their liens. Alleged Grand Larceny, Metore Gunning S. Bedford Jr., City Judge. The whole of yesterday was spent in the triai of an indictment against Martin Allen, conjointly indicted with Henry Jackson and Samuel Mack, charged with gramd larceny. Mr. Howe defended the accused and resorted to every legal technicality that his lugenuity could suggest to protect the riguts of his clients. Hours were spent in empan- elling the jury, each juror naving been subjeeted to a rigid examination on the part of the counsel. The complainant, Mr. Smith, testified that on the night of tbe 25th of October, after leaving the theatre, he met two women of questionable character, whom he accompanisd 6 @ house in Howard street, and that while there $700 Was taken Out OT his pocketbook, He did not discover his loss until he returned to his hotel. On the following morning police oMcers took the case in hand, and that evening proceeded to the house in Howard street, and, on bein, refused admission, broke into the ‘room anc found Alien and two other men there. He was searched in the station house and about $00 in greenbacks found upon his person, the complainant positively identifying two ten dollar bills as being @ portion of the money that was stolen from him, ‘The evidence disclosed the fact that the room into Which the countryman waa brought had What 18 Known as a ‘panel’’ door, and the theory of the prosecution was that the ig ladies were Allen’s degoys, and that while tue victim (who had divested himself of his apparel) Was in the room an entrance was effected turough the panei and tne money abstracted from the pocketvook. The wit- nesses for we defence were Emma lrench, who picked Mr. Siuith up in Broadway, and Emma Reid, who said she was Allen's mistress and rented the rooms ip Howard street. She swore that the two girls gave her two ten doliar buls Which sbe changed, handing the balance to the frail pair, and the green: backs to her lover. ‘The details of the case are unfit for publication.

FIRST WARD RUFFIANISM AGAIN. Two of Them Attempt to Murder a Polices map, a Citizen and 2 Colored Woman in the Eighth Ward—Narrow Escape of the Woman, Since the extraordinury verdict rendered in the First ward murder a short time since, in which a citizen was deliberately shot and killed by a public oficer while fleeing, the roughs in the city, and especially in the First ward, have had extra induce- ments held out to them to commit their depreda- tions and murderous assaults on inoffensive citizens, A scene was transacted in the Eighth ward on Thurs- day night which came near resulting in the death of uhree citizens, the facts of which, as reported by the police, are as follows:— It appears that between nine and ten o’clock at night officer Patrick O’Brien, who was on post in Greene street was informed by the keeper of a saloon at No, 120, named Frederick Hollstein, better knowD as “Dutch Fred,” that two young men named Patrick Maloney and George Sipp were 1n his place intoxicated, creating a disturbance and insulting and abusing his customers, The officer entered and, finding matters as represented to him, took Maloney by the coat collar and removed him to the pave- ment for the purpo se of conveying him to the sta- tion house, corner of Houston and Prince streets, They had not proceeded far when the officer, hear- ing a clicking noise behind him, turned and discov- ered Kah ae a bepvy, elie et Colt’s revolver, which pointed at him and sna ed but the weapon refused to be discharged. tantly cocking it again he snapped i the second tume with the game result as before. While he was in tne act of again snapping, O'brien loosed his hold of Matoney and, drawing his baton, dealt Sipp a blow on the cranium which felled him to the pavement like an ox. As he was falling he threw the revolver to the opposite side of the street, and Maloney, who was then at liberty, sprung for 1% and, obtaining possession of it, ran down the Street, closely pursued by a citizen, who shortly abandoned the pursuit, a8 they had ugt proceeded but @ short distance betore I Loney Hea, aus jointing f e. s eatghSs af heed te, Wiull Li le seault, iowever, ¥ friend Sipp, the weapon sull refusing to be dischafged. Sipp, who was m_ the cust of officer O’Brien, was con- veyed to the station house and Maloney pro- ceeded down Greene street to the basement of 102, occupied by @ colored woman named Hattie Brown, where he offered titty cents to allow him to remaim all night. The proposition was ac- cepted on the part of the woman, the money paid, and the would-be murderer assigned his quarters. He had not been long in the house, however, before he became solicitous concerning the weliare of nis friend, and endeavored to ascertain his whereabouts. This idea no sooner entered his head than he got up, dressed himself and demanded of the woman that she should refund him his money as he had con- cluded not to remain. This she refused to do, when Maloney drew the revolver, and pointing it at ber head fired, the bali just grazing her ear and | in the wall behind her, where it fattened out and was afterwards tound by officer O’Brien. So close was tne pistol to her person, that when it was dis- charged the powder burned her face and burned off nearly all her eyelashes. Maloney, after firmg the ‘shot, proceeded to the station, and upon making inquiries for his inend Sipp was recognized by officer O’Brien, Who upon search- ing him found the weapon concealed in the leg of his boot, having one of the chambers discharged. He was also incarcerated, and we two yesterday morning arraigned beiure Justice Dodge at Jefferson Market, when a complaint of felopions assauit was: preferred agaist Maloney by tue woman Brown, and a lke complaint preferred by oticer O’Brien against Sipp. Z In their informal examination Maloney stated he Was twenty-one years Of age, born in New York, re- sided at No. 17 West street, by occupation a seaman and not guilty of the charge.
