4 EUROPE: The Paris Riotsy-Their Origin, Pro- gress and Suppression. Parliamentary Progress in England---The Queen’s Speech and Debate. * Premier Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli on the Home Situation. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on the Con- dition of the Island, German Politics, Finance and Ame- rican Interests. The steamsip Idaho, Captain Cutting, of the Wil- liams & Guion line, which left Liverpool on the 9th and Queenstown the 10th Mnstant, arrived at this port yesterday morning, bringing our special correspond- ence and newspaper mail reports in detail of our cable telegrams from Europe dated to ner day of salling from Ireland. The storm which raged along the Caithness coast on the 6vh instant was the most fearful that has been known for twenty sears. At high tide Wick Bay was one mass of foam. The stonework and staging of the breakwater were washed away. The damage is estimated at £10,000 to £15,000. Through the same storm the land end of the Nor- wegian telegrapl cable was broken down near Aber- deen. * ‘The London News says the recent interruption of telegraphic communication was the result of a mis- understanding by a workman, thus disposing of ‘‘in- jurious theories respecting magnetic disturbance.” Major General Gordon, of the British army, died February 9, from the effects of self-inflicted wounds, by cutting his throat. Mr. Broadhead, of English trades union notoriety, roturned from America to Shemeid. From the west coast of Africa we learn, by way of England, that the Cape Parliament met on the 20th January. The elections had strengthened the gov- ernment. The bishopric of the Orange Free State was still vacant. Several coal mine discoveries had been made in Cape Colon, FRANCE. Tho Rochefort Arrest Riots—Origin and Pro- gress of the Emeute—Barricades and Out rage—Military Force and Quiet. By mail telegrams from Parts and our fies of English newspapers we have accounts of the first taception ana progress of the Rochefort arrest riots in the French capital. A telegram from Pgris, dated on the 8th of Feb- ruary, reports as follows:— M. Rochefort was arrested last night as he was entering a public meeting. He made no resistance but enjoined the citizens to remain quiet, as he should soon return. He was then conducted to St. Pelaizie. M. Flourens drew @ sword cane and suouted, ‘Rochelort must be set free!’ It is even #aid that he fired one or two shots. Luckily, how- ever, no one was wounded. In the meantime the commissary of police dissolved the meeting. He was at once dragged into the street and threatened with death, but was finally rescued, At ten o'clock in the evening there were great crowds in the streets but no disorder, iM BARRICADES. At half-past ten an attempt was made to throw Up barricades in the Faubourg du Temps by upset- ting carriages. The rioters were dispersed by the police. sarricades were formed at the game time at Belleville, whither the Gardes de Paris apd bodies of infantry were sent, 3 Atoue A.M. this niorning the boulevards were animated, but there was no disorder. Large bodies of police were massed at Montmarire. FIGHTING ~ARRESTS, Telegrams trom Paris dated on the 9tn of Febru- ary say:— Only one seriour conflict is reported to nave taken place. A barricade was removed in Rue Ootremper by the troops, who, however, did hot fire. One police agent was severely wounded by a stray revolver shot from rioters. One hundred of the ringleaders and others carry- mg arms had been arrested. Ten barricades were raised during the night, but not defended. ie All was quiet at one o’clock this morning. It ig rumored that the greater part of the staf of the Marseilaise have been arrested. i* English Accounts from Paris. {From the Liverpool Courier, Feb. 9.] Alarming itelligence comes from Brebrand Kochefort, having declined tne polite invi- ‘ation to surrender, was arrested on Monday night by the Commissary of Police a8 he was about enter- ing the pubilc meeting hall in the Rue de Flanders. He submitted quietly and advised the citizens to re- mato quiet, celling them he would soon return. Afterwards he was taken in a carriage tothe prison of St. Pelaizie. Immediately after Rochefort’s arrest M. Flourens seems to have behaved in the most outrageous man- her. Unsheathing ® sword cane he shouted, “Roche- fort must be set Iree.”” and, it 18 said, flred several shots from a revolver, this foolish example being of course followed by other madcaps, though no one seema to have been wounded. jatters having come to this pass the Commissary of Police declared the meeting dissolved, and so great was tne respect paid to the representative of law and order that he was immediately dragged into the street, threatened with death. and for “upwards of an nour’ exposed to insults and menaces. His rescue was then effected by police agents. Meantime numerous groups of persons collected 4m the rue d’Abanken, and about haif-past ten at- tempts were made to throw up barricades in the faubourg du Temple and in the neighborhood of the Coursint barracks; bet the police were stroug enough to disperse the revolutionist2. In the rue de Pars, at Believille, an imposing barricade was extemporized by the overturning of 41x omnibuses, but no further hostile demonatr: tion appears to nave been made there. Ato} o’ciock yesterday morning strong bodies of police and military were despatched to that quarter. The authorities then seemed fully alive to the dan- ger, and equal to any emergency. A later despatch says that fifteen persons were arrested while engaged in the defence of the barri- cade at Belleville, a commissary of police was wounded by a bayonet thrust and & sergeant-de-ville Struck in the hreast by a revolver. ‘About hall-past twelve @ gunsmitn’s in the Rue Lafayette was broken into and plundered, forty guns and 300 revolvers being carried off. ‘A great many arrests have been made, the first datch of prisoners amounting to 200, Irish Accounts from Paris. {From the Cork Examiner, F .) ‘The arrest of Rochefort appears to have produced littie insurrection in Paris. Numerous barricades Were raised in the streets, but tne crowd did not venture in any locality to make a stand against the troops and whe affair was over by one o'clock tn the morning. ‘Arrests have been made on @ wholesale scale. One account states that there are as many as 500 persons tu custody, including nearly all the stat of the Marseilaise, M. Rochefort’s paper. ENGLAND. The Parilia: tary Session—Reassembling of the Legisiatare—Queen Victoria’s Speech. The following is @ verbatim mait report of the speech) delivered by the royal commission, in the name of Queen Victoria, to the Hnglish Parliament on the occesion of its reassembling in session on the sth of February. Our cable synopsis of the speech was ample, but Insome points inaccurate in the ver- wiage. ‘The speech reads thus: My LorgDs AND GENTLEMEN: ‘We have it in command from her Majesty again to invite you to resume your arduous duties und to ex- press the regret of her Majesty thas recent indispo- dition has prevented her from meeting you in person, ‘as nad been her intention, at a period of remark- Thefriendly sentiments which are entertained In all quarters towards this country, and which her Majesty cordially reciprocates ; the growing disposi- tion to regprt to the good offices of allies in cases of International diterences, and the conciliatory spirit im which several euch cases have recently been treated and determined encourage her Majesty's confidence in the continued maintenance of the gen- eral tranquillity. Papers will be laid before you with rejerence to recent ovgurrences in*New Zealand.

These when matured by your impartiality a y be wanting that steady confidence in the law that desire to render in tts effective administration waich mark her subjects in 1, and thus will ald. in consolidati the fabric of the empire. We are further directed by her Majesty to stale that mapy other subjects of public importance appear to demand your care, and among these especially to inform you that a bill has been prepared for the enlargement on a comprenen- sive scale of the means of national education. In fulfilment of an engagement to the government of the United States a bill will be proposed to you for the purpose of defining the status of subjects or citizens of foreign countries who may desire naturalization, and of aiding them in the attamment of that object. You will further be invited to consider bills prepared in compliance with the report of the commission on courts of judica- sure, Jor the Linprovement of the consutution and procedure of the superior tribunals of both original and appellate jurisdiction. ‘The question of religious tests 1 the universities and colleges of Oxford and Cambridge nas been under discussion for many years, Her Majesty recommends such @ | i. naps Settlement of this question as may contripute to extend the usedulness of these t institutions, and to heighten the respect with which they are justly regaraea. Billa have been prepared for ex- tending the incidence of rating, and for placing tue collection of the large sums locally for various purposes on @ simpie and uniform feoting. Her Majesty bas likewise to recommend that you should undertake the amendment of the laws which regulate the grant of licenses for the: sale of fermented ana spiritous liquors. Measures will also be brought under your consideration for facilitating the trausifer of land, for regulating succession to real ‘property im cases of intestacy, for amending the laws aa to the disabilities of members of trade com- binations and for both consolidating and improving the body of statutes which relate to merchant ship- ping. While commending to you these wolghty matters of legisiation her Majesty commands us to add thas the recent extension of agrarian crime in several parts of Ireland, with 1s train of accompanying evils, has filled her Majesty with painful concern. ‘The execuuve government has employed freely the means at tts command for the prevention of outrage, aud @ partial improvement may ob. served; but although Lhe number of offences within this class of crime bas been by D0 means so great as at some former pertoas, the indisposition to give evidence in aid of the administration of justice nas been alike remarkable and iwjurious. Hor the re- moval of such evils her Majesty places her main re- liance on the permanent operation of wise and necessary changes in the law; yet she will not hesi. tate to recommend to you the adoption of special provisions, should such @ poilcy appear during the course of the session to be required by the para- mount interest of peace and order, Upon these and ali other subject her Majesty devoutly prays that your labors may be constantly attended by the biessing of Almighty Go The Reply and Debate—Tie Irish Question; its Religious and American Inflauences—The Alabama Claims—Land Tenure Reform— O'Donovan Rossa’s Case. The debate in the British Parliament, on Tuesday night, Feuruary 8, on the address to the Crown was— as already noticed in our cable telegrams—brieT, and comparatively uninteresting. In the House of Lords the Marquis of HUNTLEY, in Moving the address, said he was happy to be w- formed tuat her Majesty was not suifering from a serious illness, although she was so far indisposed as to be upabie to open so important a session. He regretted that the settlement of the differences be- tween England and America had not been rati- fied by the United States government, but he hoped they wouid still receive a satisfactory solu- tion, ior it was desirable that the two nations should bemharmony. The land question in Ireland was undoubtedly the most important question of the ses- sion. Tue time had arrived when that question (which ought not to be considered a party one) should be settled, for there was abundant proof of the ne- cessity for immediate legislation, He trusted that the government measure would be most fair and Just to landowners and tenants, and the government Ought not to be deterred from mtroducing such a Measure, because it might not meet with we views of unreasonable people, (Hear, hear.) It was to be hoped that the present system of outrages would not be continued. He was not aware of the provisions of the government measure of education, but he trusted it would be a solution of the many difiicuiues which surrounded the consideration of this import- Ant question, and that it would be such a syste as would reach the vagrant classes: (Hear, lear.) There were many other grave questions before Par- lament which demanded the exercise of impartial judgment. He was glad to find that trade was im- proving, and it was probable that the present depres- sion would soon disappear. The nuble Lord con- cluded by reading the address. ‘the Earl of FINGALL, in seconding the address, said he was of a very smiail body who, in the upper House, could represent the feelings of that very con- siderable portion of her Majesty’s su i Roman Catholics ofs Ireland.

Irish interests were insepa- rabiy bound up with English interests, and the Lrisb would become # happy and united people and a source of strength and pride to the British empire. Lord CarRns said the royal speech was not with- out a certain singularity on account of the omission of subjects which were generaily referred to, lt was a subject of congratuiation thct tuere wag nothing in reference to our foreign relations which Calied for remark, but the case witn regard to the colonies was somewhat different, and such a subject could not be of indifference to the Parliament of the empire. It had aiso always been the habit, when distress pre- vailed in the Country, that some notice of it should be taken i the speecues. 1t did not appear to be the intention of the governments to introduce meas- ures of eduction for [relaud and scotland. As to te measure for tue transier of laud, there were no people so interesicd as the owners of that land (hear, hear). With regard to the land question of Ireland, be was not disposed to criticise the words in which the clause was framed, but he was not aware that there were any laws about the acquisition of land in Jreland except the laws of supply and demand ana of political economy, and those laws he supposed the goverament would not beable to improve. As to the present state of Ire- land, the paragraphs in the royal speech had filied him with considerable surprise (lear, hear). A cabi- net was @ composite body and its members might fairly be expected to look upon sub- jects froma different poimt of view. But he had always understood vhat the master builder should take care that the works of composite con- etruction were obliterated from the finished perform- ance.y (Hear, hear.) The government, which came to bring a@ message of peuce to Ireland, were asking for probationary powers tf they became ne- cessary. ‘The present state of Ireland was not ouly very sad, but also very shameful. (Hear, hear.) The great ancrease of agrarian crime had been in the early part of last year double what it was in the previous year, though statistics did not by any means represent the extent and gravity of the mat- ter. He pointed out that legisiation of late bad not produced peace, but that agrarianisin had increased, and also agitation all over the country. He con- tended that this was owing to whe wiid views which the declaration of eertain members of her Majesty's government had encouraged. Earl GRANVILLE vindicuted the Irish policy of the government, and contended that the bill of last year was one of peace and conciliation, and vhat it had already produced @ salutary effect throughout the country. yAt the same time it would be dificult tor government to maintain law and order if they were vo be perpetually subjected to a violent accusation for which there was no foundation. He hoped the measure about to be introduced by government would be discassed without party feeling, and with a real desire to arrive at @ satisfactory solution of the diMculues by which the question was sur- rounded. After some further conversation, in which the Duke of Mariborough, Earl Grey and Lord Monck took part, the adaress wus agreed to. In the House of Commons, the same night, Mr, GLapDsToNg entered the House from behind the speak- er’s chair and was received with cheers trom the ministerial benches. He gave notice that he sttuud move @ resolution to the effect that the knight of we shire recently elected for the county of ‘Iipperary, being under sentence of penal servitude, was inca- pable of being elected and of sitting in that House, and that wie seat was void. He also would move for anew writ. Mr, Gladstone also gave notice that on the 16th imst., he should move for leave to bring 1n & bull relating to the occupation and acquisition of land in Ireiand, Mr. FORSTER gave notice thaton Thursday week he should move for leave to bring in w bill relating to the question of educauon. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE gave notice of @ bill to con- solidate and amend the laws relating to mercuant shipping ad to avolisi compulsory pilotage. Mr. MCLAREN gave notice of a bill to abolish the annuity tax ana ininister’s money 10 Edinburg, and also of @ oll Wo abolish compulsory Church rates in Scotland, early day, call attention tothe case of the officers steamship Yornad and crew of the 10. Colonel TORRENS gave nolice that he should cali ion as the best attention to the question of emigrat! esas of relieving the prevailiug distress and des- ution, Sir P, BATESON gave notice that he should call at- tention to the case of Mr. Madden and to the con- duct of Mr. Heron on the election hustings at Tip- 'Y, Where he wore & scari and called for ree’ cheers for the Fenian cunvicts, and ask whether he was still a law adviser to the Castle, Crown a proencator and a magus for three coun- ties. He would algo call attention to the seditious Kart ‘at Dublin, at the meeting notice of @ bill torepeal the rey ofthe Church of England @nd Scotland with respect to sitt in Partiament. Mr. WATKIN WILLIAMS g@ve notice that on the lat of March he should call attention to the position of the Eatabiished Church in Wales, and move that in ‘the opinion of the House,it was io and expedient that 1s should cease to exist, and tnat its pul dowments afer providing for all incerests should be applied to the support of @ national denominational system of education in the prin- clpality. ‘ite Sean having read vhe Queen’s speech from @ chair, Captain EGERTON moved the address in reply, He felt that the measures relating to Ireland would be framed with the utmost care and justice, and trusted that they would be considered by the House with that absence of party spirit which the nacure of the question and the interests of Ireland so im- peratively demanded, He also pxpremes bimsel! very sauguine a8 to Lhe good effect of the policy of the government; but if, unfortunately, that should not prove to be the he believed that the govern- Inent would du as stated by her Majesty, and take such measures as might be for the main- tenance of law and order, and that bota sides of the House would heartily support them jn their course. Sir C. W. DILKE, in seconding the motion, elabo- rately reviewed the questions referred to in the speech from the throne. Mr. DisRARBLI, WhO was heartily cheered from the thought that this was hardly a opposition benches, the occasion to enter into discussion of the very important questions referred to im the Queen’s speech. He should hardly troubie the House had it been for some allusions in the speech with d to the state of Ireland, ‘The ernment at last had admitted that is was and unsatisfactory; but it was very ambiguously stated that the govern- ment contingently upon the passing of their measures would resume their ordinary duty of pro- tecting Ife and property. ‘That, in his w, was always imperative upon any government, Wuat ‘Was the state of Ireland? It was full of disaffection nd secret societies, ‘threatening waraings was a babffual practice. Now, he could not help holding the government responsible in @ great measure for this terribie state of things in their Ieeble endeavors to vigdicate and ‘The old excuses of maladmin- and the difficulty of the times couid no.longer be accepted. The loyal and unpro- teoted portion of the people had been abused and in- sulted, and as what was called trelgou uaity has been established, the o!d plea ot rel! sions had now no force. The Roman Catholic priesthood were hearty supporters of the present government, He ridiculed the plea that the trade of agitation was rendered desperate by the policy of the government, and denled the inference that had the late govern- ment been in office the state of things in Ireiand would have been far more serious. For his part he must needs express his opinion that the American ‘Influences which were agitating Ireland had been checked by the Irwh government under Lord Aber- corn, Those who were most zealously promotin; agitation, and so under the idea that they were ad- vocating the claims of the government, admitted that Fenlantsm was the cause of their destroying the Irish Church. The Irish people were in- spired with the belief that reeverance in this would ensure the fulfilment of their wild and exag- gerated dreams with respect to the land question. Mr. GLapsrong thanked the right honorable gen- tleman for the indications he had given of the inten- tions of himseif and those with whom he acted, and especially because he had avoided everything that could increase the difficulties of the government, Eulogizing the conduct of the Roman Catholic clergy he denied that it was the fault of the government if their Policy had been misunderst There was nothing to Jead to the idea that they would propose a@contiscation of the land. Pointing out the dimi- culues which stood in the way of bringing the perpetrators of outrages to justice, he was sure the House would not falter in 1t8 determination to pass the conciliatory measures required, above all, to re- move the evils which @ccompanied the venure and cultivation of land in Ireland. If they did this the deathblow of Fentanism would be struck. ‘Tne address was agreed to, and tne House ad- journed at hailf-past eignt P. M.

(‘Hear, hear,” and applause.) a t extent, I say, they may retard the prosperity of the country, but 16 is impos- sible for them to wrest from the Parliament of the United Kingdom the government of the country. There is another point which ratuer clouds the sun- shine of the past year, which casts a deep shadow on certain parts (1 am happy tosay only on certain parts), bus it has cast # deep shadow on certain parts of this country. I allude to that unfortunate development of crime which in Pa goes by the name of an last year. in 1868, and it very inuch during the year. { wiil not go into de- tails on this subject—ever more melancholy to those who are responsible tor the government of tne coun- try than the subject waich I referred to before—but 1 would ask those who have to consider it to look without enmity and without party teeling to the sub- ject. (Hear, hear.) No doubt it isa deep disgrace to every part of the country to find agrarian crime warning without being dealt with or put down. aliow it deeply Guaracetni, (Hear, hear.) This agrarian crime is one that has unfortunately orop- ped up more than once in this country. If we re- vert to 1846, during the administration of ie man, Sir Rokert Peel, we And a much more violent outbreax af chat particular form of crime than we had during the past year. If we want to real! what it was in that year, you will only have to tre- ble, or nearly #0, the amount of agrarian crime dur- ing the past year. I said I would pot enter upon this subject, but 1 wish to make this observation:— It hi urged on one side that these agrarian been got up by those who are afraid of It has been urged on the other aide that they have been got up in order to stre! Dy as it were, More violent measures on the bull, Now, I cannot think that an intelligent people like the irish can fall into go great an error as that. Both parties who urge those two different issues in the greatest possible if they think that they can defer the just course o! Policy towards Ireland; the other, if they they can urge England faster than she wishes togo. I only allude to this, for I feel sure tnat, whatever they may do, the English Parliament will continue in ‘the course that it thinks just and fair and upright. (Hear, hear.) I will only. say,on the part of the executive, that we all most earnestly lament this state of things. It has been our endeavor to do our utmost—I feel sure we have—to put the law into ex- ecution against these parties. I have said that I will not go into the causes of these outrages, nor will [touch on the remedies which are to be found for them. That is reserved for the Parliament to discuss, and it would be improper for me to allude tothem to-night. I will oaly say one word about one of the remedies which ali parties have agreed In saying ought to be dealt with. Iallude to the uestion Which 18 particularly to be brought before ‘arliament, and which has alreaay been referred to by the Lord Mayor—the Land bill. (‘‘Hear, hear,’?ana applause.)

South German Secession Agitatlon—Radic al 4 Clerical InfluencesThe Folly of Reac- tion—American Luterests in the Frankfort Bourse. FRANKFORT, Feb. 7, 1870. There is now @ great agitation in Southern Ger- many against the alliance treaties with Prussia. It ds very likely that by the dissensions between the liberal party the clericais will succeed in upsetting the Hohentohe Ministry in Bavaria, and if they come to the helm of affairs this country will be thrown back to the dark times of the Abel Ministry, when the Pope was omnipotent and the people on a level with those of Spain. Hitherto the King has remained firm and has forbidden the court to those members of his family Who voted in the Chamber in opposi- tion to the Ministry. Stuli it i# an untenable position, and the King will have to give way to tne majority of the Ohambers, and then Ba- varia will set herself in direct opposition to Prussia, to Ler own detrimbnt. In Wirtemburg, where the democratic party prevalls, the opposition is directed against the military establishments, waich they want to supersede by a militia. in Baden things look yet worse. There the Ministry com- mands a majority tn the Chamber, but the opposti- tion strain every nerve to influence tue people for the coming elections; and if they succeed they will throw the couniry, divided as sne is by equal into Catholics and Protestants, in anarchy. ‘hig pone of Southern Germany is the dark spot of uUropean poiltics. it must ead to differences with Prussia into which other Powers migat interfere, It is a Wanton quarrel altogether, as the northern governments, jealous of their independence, will Dever enter the worthless confederation in umes of peace, and are compelied to do it if there should be war. They can do nothing by themseives; they are too weak for that, and @ southern confederacy 1s out of the question, as theo Bavaria, the larger State, must have the leadership, to which the others will never agree. All these States enjoy as much liberty now as 18 pos- sible under a@ monarchical government, and It ie ouly @ matter of spite against Prussia which induces the party leaders of the ltberals to assisi their worst enemies getting tuto power. What is going on just now at Rome ought to be a hint for them. tn tue lace of the violent opposition of the French, German and Belgian bishops, the Jesuits cling to the dogma of the infalbility of the Pope and will probably carry in the Council a resolution to that effect. Then we shall have another schism 1m the Catholic world, as Vhe opponents will never submit, Tne celebrated Protessor Dollinger, at Munich, one of the pillars of the Catholic Church in Germany, has published @ letter on that question, and his plain language admits of no recantation. In every part of tue coun- try the bishops are vituperating against the hew yoke which the Jesuits will put on them. Another resolution to which the Council will agree, that on the temporal powers and the severeigniy of the Pope over the provinces incorpo- rated to the or =itwly, proves that the Jesuits ond and believe that by sheer audacity they can seb at de- flance the spiritof the time, and the more so uta moment when a change has taken place in France which forebodes tll for their pretensions. ‘The Olli- vier Mintstry, if consistent, caunot continue in the path of Kouner and keep & garrison at Rome to overawe the people and to subject it to Pupian mis- rule. ‘The Bourse is very much agitated. where was a heavy fail in Austrian and Hungarian railway shares in consequence of the failing of in their weekly re- ceipta. ‘ne new Russlan loan of tweive miilion five per cents at 79} has been @ great success, and hag been subscribed fourfold, Americans remain tirm and do sc ly vary from woeir price of 92.

Recapitulatory Resume of Recent Homi- cldes in This City Whose Perpetrators Have Been Released on Bail—How it is Done, Who Do it and Why it is Done—A Proposed Remedy at Once Conclusive and Effectuat. A menagerie of wild beasts rurning about loose in the city would be apt to be regarded as pre- gudicial to public safety; and yet hardly less hostile tothe general welfare is the number of murderers Gaily to be seen walking our streets, By murderers are meant those who have taken human life, the iast embracing fil the grades from wilful taking of life with malice prepense to that mildest and most vental Classification of homictde—manslaughier in the fourth degree—punishable from six cents fine to two years’ imprisonment in the State Prison. The ques- tion naturally arises how it is that persons accused of these grave crimes—the gravest on the criminal calendar—are allowed the freedom of the city. The cases to which reference 1s made have either undergone prelimmary examinations be- fore @ coroner or the Court of General Sessions or both, and have given ball to appear for trial, or else the complaints have been dismissed by the Grand Jury. The cases of some, however, have never got beyond the jurisdiction of a coroner’s inquisition— the gost of possible future condemnation betng ex- oroised on the first exhibition of its dim ana shadowy outlines. There 18 no getting over this primary estoppel of what in the end otherwise might be productive of patafully disagreeable results, as hanging or longer or shorter terms of service in the State Prison. But the conciusion appears to be all the same, only one is a shorter and the other is @ longer way of reaching it. As the facts fully show, the matter of giving ball, the tonger route of the two, 1s often a mere formality. It is unnecessary in this age of enlightenmentto explain in detall the causes—tor it is a simple case of cause and effect—bringing about the state of affairs aescribed above, to tell how #he thing 18 done to show up the fact that justice has no longer her eyes bandaged, but sees what goes into the scales, and that money and political influence are what turn the scale. It has long peen known that “‘hang- ing for murder ts played out in New York,” but the youthful renegade, Reynolds, has deen the first who bas aared boldly and openly to assert the fact. The facility with which those committing homicide escape she penalty of thelr crimes cannot better be shown than in the cases enumerated below. As all the cases are of recent occurrence, most of them happening Jast year, only arésume ot the facts ts given, KILLING OF FELIX LARKIN. Such was the excitement cauged by the killing of Feux Larkin, on the night of November 25, 1868, in ® saloon corner of Hudson and Canal astrecws, so fearful and bl ‘was the rencontre, and such pub- lucity was given to the Coroner's inquisition, con- ducted by Coroner Fiynu in the chamber ot the Board of Aldermen, that all the minutest detatls are yet fresh in the public memory. ‘The result then, as is weil known, Was finding Campbell, the proprietor of the saloon; Berrigan, the bartender, snd Ann Hines, the cook, guilty of the homicide, and re- manding them to await the action of the Grand Jury. A subsequent and the final result was the dismisgal of the complaint and release of the pris- oners. THE ROGERS MURDER. Fresher still in public reooilection, since being of more recent occurrence, is the Rogers murder. He was clearing, on December 31, 1368, the sidewalk 10 front of his dwelling, in Twelfth street, of snow, when, as will be remembered, without provocation, he was assaulted and stabbed by a passing raffian, & palof the latter meantime holding the coat of the murderous assailant. Notwithstanding the vigilant and unremitting efforts of the police to discover the murderer and his accomplice, and the stimulus of « large reward, both are suill at large. RAILROAD HOMICIDE. The next in the list of homicides, taken chrono- logically, happens to belong to that class of homi- cides to Which the highest form of culpability at- taching itself is gross and inexcusable carelessness. Following this carelessness, however, was the taking of human life, and the stil further result of the guilty party going unwhipped of justice through furnishing bail and never being brought to tral. On the 6th of January a year ago Thomas Muliins was driving his horse aud wagon in Second avenue near Sixty-fitth street, and one of the wheels of the vehicle got entangied in the wheel of another wagon. His wagon was on one of the Second Avenue Railroad tracks, and while Mullins was trying to separate bis conveyance from the other, a dummy engine ran into wnem, inflicting in- juries from which he died. It was proven that the engineer, William J. Harris, was going at a high rate of speed and down a grade and was ugabie in con- sequence to stop his car in time to prevent the fatal casualty. A jury empanelled by Coroner Fiynn to investigate the cause of death, declared in their verdict Harris ‘ea, of culpable negligence,” and thelr verdict to this effect 1a stil on record. A month later he was given his freedom and isfree still. KILLED BY MEDICINE, * Our next case 18 an aileged medical murder, one- tenth of the number of which, by the way, probably never become known, since, though the most cul- pabie form of manslaughter, it mw the easiest kept concealed, ‘The victim im this particular case was one James Stropp, Being taken sick he sent for Dr. Amand, then having an office in Bleecker street, and possibly keeping his office there sull. The doc- tor gave him a dose of carbolic_ acid, and shortly afterwards, on January 22, 1869, his patient died, Coroner Keenan investigated the case, a verdict was found aseribing death to malpractice and the papers were sent to Che District Attorney. He was admitted to bati and the case has never been tried. 3 KILLED BY AN OYSTER KNIFE. Michael McGuire, a car driver, 8 year ago on the 10th of ast February was stanbed by Thomas Donn with ao oyster knife, causing injuries from which he died. ‘ihe two met in Twelfth street, near First avenue, when # dispute arose which terminated in the fatal stabbing of McGuire. Dunn was uamitted to bail aud elus the case stands. ANOTHER CASE OF MALPRACTIC Mrs. Ellen O'Hara, who lived at No, 36 South Wil- Mam street, on February 17, 1869, came so her death through the alleged malpractice of Dr. Walker. A Coroner’s jury, duly called together by Coroner Fiynn, made an examination in the case and gave a verdict to this effect. On the same day the doctor ‘was admitted to bail and there has been no triai of the case since. + HOMICIDE WITH THE PISTOL. Early last June Richard Girdis was Killed by the shot of & pistol, 12 g liquor store, corner of First ave- nue and Twenty-fifth street. ‘There were several parties in the barroom, ali ol whom bad been drink- ing more or less. A dispute occurred between the bartender and another man, the latver charging the former with having on @ previous occasion passed upon bim some counterfeit money.

It is the old story of rum drinking culminatt in violence and deat, Lee shooting Keene with a revolver, from the effeow of which he died. Coroner Keepan first took of the case, but Coroner Rollins subsequently in- terfered and released Lee on bail, the result beimg that he nas not thus far beea brought to trial. MORE RUM AND ANOTHRR HOMICIDE. On the same morning that was chronicled the above murderous afray occurred another, the scene this time an alley at No. 31 Baxter street. In this case Cornelius Sliay was killed by Peter Pezute, an Italian, Coroner Schirmer investigated the case and the papers were sent to the District Actorney, which ended in the discharge of Pezute vy the Grand Jury. KILLED HIS WIFE. On the night of the 26th of last December Ann GrimMth was #0 pea beaten by her husband, William Grimth, at No. 195 Mott street. that she died from the injuries, After the inquisition by Coroner Flynn the husband was released and has never bee brought to trial. It were easy to on almost ad infinitum ott cases. The case of Burns, the politician, who a mau in one of the Houston street liquor saloons, bas noi been forgotten, and so of another politician - who beat a negro to death in the Eighth ward. Yes both these men are free on vail—free to do ag they please—free to commit more murders.

Besides these is the unknown murderer who stabbed and killed George Stoll on the 26th of last month, and who bas never been discovered;and, as ia well Known, the man Jeremiah Dunn, who, it wm alleged, shot James Logan not long since in Houston street, has not been found, although there is a tempt- ing reward for his discovery and apprehension. Bust we will not go of with the list. ‘There are from fifteen to twenty who, through malice prepense, recklessness or culpable negligence, have taken lite in this city during the past year and a trife over who are now out on ball and suppositively is trial, and evidently with about the same likelin of being tried before the ushering in of @ new cen- tury as of the advent of the millenvium tn this time. ‘This list is also being contiaually increased by new additions from those now in prisou awaiting trial.

But as ‘he matter stands und which, as everybody knows, has been growing each year from worse to worse, the people are becoming more and more indignant. It is seen that judiciary eleetionsand political mis- Tule are bringing with them both an increase ta. taxes and an Increase in crime. Itisseen that life 1s not safe. ‘The rs murder, the murder by Reynolds, and the last in the series, the Voorhees murder, in Brooklyn, proclaim this fact. “What is the remedy?” a gentleman asked another in a city car yesterday, as they were dis cussing the toptc. “Strong bits of rope and plenty of lamppost."" “You go in for desperate remedies.’ . “Desperate diseases require desperate remedies,’’ he answered; “Ll go for law and order, & vigilance committee ana Juage Lynch.’’ about half agree with you,” said the first gen- tleman. “The public will yn wholly agree with me,'’ ke up-the other. “It has got 10 come to this ‘sooner or later.

POUGHKEEPSIE, Feb. 20, 1870. ‘The farmers in the interior of Dutchess county are just now in a gossipping mood over @ recent come mission de lunatico enquirendo in the case of one Benjamjn Ryder, a farmer residing in.the town of Washington, who is upwards of seventy years of age. The commission was executed on the petition of Albert M. Card, grandson of Mr. Ryder. It con- vened last Friday morning at eleven o'clock, at D. P. Wheeler's tavern, in the towm of Washington, and continued uninterruptedly throughout the day and untii two o’clock the next morning. The proceed. ings took place in the ballroom of the tavern, and crowds were present from all parts ef the county. The attorneys engaged were Allard Anthony, Peter Dorland, Cyrus Swan, Jerome B. Williams, William. J. Thorn, John H. Tallman, the person presiding being Mr. John Thompson. BENJAMIN RYDER. The subject of the commission is @-man of un- usually large frame, drooping shoulders, stronaiy markea features and dark eompiexion. If he had followed his early teachings, aud even now, if he wag washed, he would be among the best appearing men in the neighborhood. For twenty years, since his wife died, he has lived the life of a hermit in bus own shabby looking dwélling, and in all that time, by imdustry and almost miserly economy, be has waved $16,000, He subsista chiefly on meal, samp and eggs. His habits of person, a8 testified to be- fore the commission, are disgustingly filthy, and 16 ig honestly thought he does not wash or change his clothes twice amonth. He is the son of 4 clergy- man who, fifty years ago, was known all over this country as ‘Old Vriest Ryder.” HE DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE MONEY. ‘The potitiouer claims that he is of unsound mind and utterly incapable of taking care of his property, and the evidence shows that by the power of attor- ney and trust deed his earthly gains are placed in a state of glorious uncertainty. The oral statements before the commission disclose a manner of living and habits of person which would scarcely be deemed possible. As before stated, not a soul has lived in the house with him tor twenty years. He has resided there in extreme filtn, doing hisowa COORNE, and several testified that he “lived like a og. COUNTY. Commission HOW UB HANDLES THR LUCRE. One witness testified that during Jaouary last he saw Ryder paying @ man for some pork. He first took Irom his overcoat pockets roll of greenbacks as large as the crown of a man’s bat, sougly wrapped in a piece of brown paper. In the paper Was a little hole, from which the hermit picked two bills; then he drew @ full stuffed wallet irom bis pocket and took therefrom another bill, closing his financlal movement by taking off his hat end re- moving from the crown rolls aud “swads of sin Plasters.”” NINETEEN MEN THINK HE IS SANE. Nineteen of the witnesses for the defendants testt- fled that in their opinion he was of sound mind and capabie of managing his own afairs, one of them vesufying phat ‘he is more knave than fool.” THB JURY THINK NOT. The jury, however, decided otherwse, and tn their inquisition tnd him of unsound mind and tocapable of managing his affairs. THR HERMIT KNTRENCHES HIMSELF. During the @¢xamination a warrant was issued by the commission and placed in the hands of Deputy pherif? Halsted, instructing that oilicer to bring Benjamin Ryder before them. ‘The officer rode ten mules to Ris residence, but could not get in, and re- turning reported that he could nog effect the arrest, as the man was entrenched behind Doited doors and barred windows; thus the inquisition proveeted without him. THR FUTURE. The next thing in order will be the confirming of the inquisition or verdict of the jury by the Supreme Cours, and the appointment of a suitable person to take charge of the person and estate of Mr. Ryder ta case there shall be no appeai or exception, which understand is strongly urged.
