Mr. Dickey inquired of the government whether tne imperial authorities were likely to bear some of the expense to which the country was put owing to Fentan disturbances, ‘and said it was strange that there should be a talk of withdrawing the troops while Canada 1s exposed to danger on the frontier, not on our own account but in consequence of disaitection in Ireland. The Hon. Mr. Campbell said, in reference to the Fenian matters, the government were taking mea- sures which would, no doubt, prove amply sufficient to arrest any anticipated raid. The expenses, in the first place, would be borne by the Domiolon, and that correspondence as to the ultimat? division of the expense bad taken place beiween the two gov- ernments, Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act—The Government Fully informed of Fenian Movemonts—An Early Invasion of Canada Doterusined Upon. Orrawa, April 14, 1870. The Habeas Corpus act has been suspended. Tho measure passed bo'h houses and was assented to by the Governor General, In the name of her Majesty, this afterncon. Sir John A. Macdonald, in asking Parliament for @ suspension of the act, said the government hai received information, on which they relied, that the peace of the country was again indanger from the invasion of lawless men from the United States belonging to the Fenian organiza- tion. The government had received information of preparations for invasion during the whole of last au- tuldn and winter, These preparations had been going on cautiously, ana, lately, were more formidabie, al- though they had been conducted in silence, At frst, the policy of the Fenian body, as the House knew, seemed to be to create as much notoriety as possible and get up excitement by means of the puolic press, Of late they had adopted a different and more safe and secure course for them, and, be thought, more hazardous for Canada, and that was to carry on all their arrangements with great caution and secrecy. The government had information, which they could not for a moment hesitate to believe and trust, out which they could not place before Parhament With- out certamty of danger to thelr informants; but the information was compiete, and it was to the effect that there was @ fixed resolve on the part of the Fentan body to invade this country in force at an early day. When that day may come the govern- ment could not foresee. It might bo to-day; it might be in a@ week; but he _ believed that grrengements haa been made for inva- sion at an early day. Information came to them from 60 many sources, oMMcial and uncredential—from independent sources, from sources having no connection with each other, from sources baving the best means of information, tiat they had not a shadow of a doubt a8 to the Leber f of the intention of these parties to make an attac! without delay; and, as was their duty, tiey had taken steps to resist invasion and had put on duiy certain portions of the military force of the coun try to act in connection with the regu- lar troops, and that such resistance to the invasion would prove successful no one could have any doubt, Tie government had no right to play with this question; and after having received the information iney have they were bound to take steps to mect the invaders, and if such steps would prevent them coming into the country so much the better. It was of course to the government a matter of deep anxiety and re- gret that this chronic siate of excitement should exist—this state of ‘hostility on tho part of the Fenlan body towards Canada and Canadian unoflending people. ‘fhe Fenian organization was more active at this moment than it had been for years, and he could not deceive him- self with the idea that there would be a speedy end to this state of affairs. He believed that we would have acontinuauce of these attempts for many years. We must put up with them as best we may. It was the duty of the government to avoid being alarmed or acting upon unfounded rumor; but at the same time 1t was more their duty to take care that they do not attach too littie importance to this organization, The government felt that Uiey could not allow ma- rauders to enter our country. They felt ag ths mem- ber for Peel gaid the ovher nignt wheh &peaking of Cognate subject, tiiat the life of one of our people Was worth mor than panes hundred thousand pounds, and that (hey could no! run the risk of losing a single i QW gubject, 1t was their dufy to take sacl stepsin the way of prevention as was io their power on these grounds. He would move for leave to introduce @ bull to authorize the apprehension and detention of persons suspected of commiting acts of hosulity or consplracy against her biajesty’s person aud government.

Suspicion was at once directed to Henry Fife and Willis, two young negro men ewployed on the farm where the body was found, aud they were both arrested by a party of colored men and lodged in jatl, after a desperate resistance. Willis confesses the crime, but states that Henry committed the murder, The greatest excitement prevails among the negroes in the county, and trom information received this evening the two rufflans will probably be lynched, TELEGRAPHIC NEWS iTEMS.

LITERATUR Criticisms of New Books. ECCLRSIASTIOAL ART IN GERMANY DURING THE MIDDLE Agxs, By Dr. Wilhelm Lupke. ‘Translated from the filth German edition, with appendix, by eS Wheatley, New York: Soribuer, Welford 10. Contrary to what the title implica the contents of this book include ecclesiastical art in other places besides in Germany, although the greater part of the work 1s devoted to that country. Beginning with the recognition and establishment of Christianity in Rome by the Emperor Constantine and the adoption of the Basilica as a model for the construction of their places of worship, Dr. Lubke traces the pro- gress of the early Christians in church architecture to the Middle Ages, by the close of which progress in this branch of art may be said to have ceased. The several atyles, such as the Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, &c., are minutely explained in the text, and by means of numerous ilustrations the reader is enabled to at once perceive the ai- ference in them. A very large number of churches, together with their furniture, are described, and there is an interesting chapter devoted to tie ‘Arrangement of Monasteries in the Middie Ages.” ‘The work 18 so admirably condensed that we are unable to do more than refer to its contents in gen- erai terms. It imparts a vast amount of informa- tion, ana will be read with pleasure and intellectual profit not only by those who take a direct mterest in everything pertaining to ecclesiastic art, but py the intelligent public generally. ‘The appendix, by the translator, who deserves much pratse for the pains- taking and conscientious manner in which he has perfurmed his work, 13 mstructive as showlny the several points of divergence between the ecclesias- ioe architecture of Engiand and that descriped by pI rn. Lubke. We heartily commend the book to the ublic. The NUSEER BODE, OPS ali excellent and the 1 ton gou 2 mec te aa ae Oe Se Tax SUN. By Amédée Guillemta, from the rrenca. te A, L. Phipson, Ph. D.

There is no planet better worth studying than that from which the earth receives light and heat, andthe manner in which the book before us 13 written renders its study most agreeadie. ‘The tlius- trations, which are nuwerous and well executed, are valuabie as aids in obtaining a clearer know- ledge of the facts stated in the text which, by the Way, 13 noteworthy for its simple and lucia style, We —., commend the book for the entertain- ment and Instruction it affords, * Home IyeLvence, by Graco Agutlar, 1s the first volume of & new edition of the works of this author that Messrs.

CaSIMIR MAREMURA is an English love story (Bos- ton: Roberts Brothers), very long and somewhat dull, The plot is not bad and the characters dre drawn with some skill, but the dialogues are very tiresome on account of their prolixity. As im all other novels of the Kind thera are the Inevitable noble-minded hero, the pure, tmimaculate aud accomplished heroine aud the usual coinplement of sinners, for the facts relating to all of whom we refer the reader.

As with all literature of the kind the book ia readable enough. It 1s, however, wretchedly printed and shabbily bound, THE WORKS OF THE Britist Dramatists forms part of the uniform library of standard works pub- lished by W. W. Swayne, New York. It contains an interesting sketch of the origin and early history of the British drama and selections from the dra- matic works of such authors as Jono Lilly, George Peele, Ben Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher, Philip Massinger and others, with biographical notices of each author. BEHIND THR SCENES (Boston: New England News Company) 1s a rather interesting story of the stage, from which we are led to belleve that one of the principal duties of theatrical managers is to swear wb everything and everybody, aud tae next 13 to in- Bldiously assail the honor of actresses. Whoever tue author is, he or she is evidently capable of writ- ing something better than this story. BROOKLYN INTELLIGENCE.

RELLIGERENC JERSEY LAWYERS. Exciting Scene in a Newark Justice’s Court— Legal Sparring Without Gloves—Personal Reucontro Between Opposing Counsel. The usually quiet, modest and unassuming court Toom on the corner of Market and Broad streets in the city of Newark, N. J., wherein presides, with a Suavity characteristic of bis countrymen of the “Green Isle,” Justice Nugent, was the scone yester- day of an occurrence the like of which has not been witnessed in Newark for some yeara past, if, tmdeed, ever before. A suit for tres pass was being tried, in which Charles Bachman Sought to recover from bis tenant, one William Wingle, the sum of ity doliars aamages, claimed for using unlawiuily the premises of the’ plainuit, For the latter appeared as counsel James H. Boylan, and for the defendant 1’. P, Ramsey, both geatiemen occupying posiuons of comparative prominence in their profession, The case was going along smoothly and nicely until counsel for plait was fastening Logether some legal documents to which opposing counsel had agreed to, but now showed a contrary disposition, Finally the latter sprang forward and in an excited manner declared tkey should not be 80 fastened, while the other lawyer was. equally determined they should, The upshot was that Ramsey made a dash for Boylan’s magnificent moustache, and hung onto the hirsute appendage UNL its proprietor, fairly “boilin’ ” with rage, fury, and Pal, Administered his antagonist a sharp “CHb" On eee CANA him auataNy to, let go it M acral his hold and tumble over against the wan. 2 ing his feet Mr. Ramsey made another artack on his Opponent, but before any more harm was doue constable Harrigan jumped between the belliger- ents and put an end to further hositlittes. Justice Nugent meanwhile having declared that he would commit Kamsey for contempt if he would not keop quiet, the case then proceeded and resulted in judgment being given for the platn- UuT in half the amount ciaimed, ‘The Court and officers declare that Mr. Ramsey Was chiedly to blame in the matter, he being, they allege, strongly under the influence of something a trifle stronger than water. ‘The affair was witnessed by a crowded court room, and throughout yesterday afvernoon and evening the particulars furnished aa aulmated topic of discussion In leading Newark Jegal and business circles, MEETING OF EXPRESSHE®, Muddle Over the Internal Revenue Law—No Additional Taxes to be Collected trom Hack- men and Cartmen. Last evening & meeting of @ large number of the city expressmen was held to discuss the policy of charging a tax of three per cent on all the gross re- celpts of the business, Already a gentioman has been scnt on to Washington to interview the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue and leara from him whether such a tax was compulsory. At the meet- ing last evening a telegram was received from this gentleman saying that the Commissioner had de- cided tn favor of the expressmen. It appears that when the law wag originally passed great opposition was offered thereto, be- cause it Was satd that if expressmen were taxed cartien aud hackmen should be dealt with in the same manner. The consequence was that a petition was sent to Washington, und the tollowing decision was rendered, directed to an assessor of internal T have given ject all the attention which has been possible. Ihave hover been fully couvinced that the provisions of wecton 108, which imposes a duty upon the gross receipts of persons hav ing the care or ement of railroads, canals, steara ships, bar canal ts, Or Other vessels, or of at her vehicles employed tn the business ot tr porting persons or property for hire, wero intended to apply to the business of cartinen and hackmen, as ordinarily con- ducted in large cities, ‘other vebto one upon which their hi are the ee tu which ortation of property the law? Rutlroads, usually employed is the trai sengers withia the meaning bouts, canul boats, stage coaches omnibuses are em- ployed to convey property and aassengers over established routes between nxed points, while it {s the business of carts and hacks to gather up property and persons, and to deliver them to the points of departure on such rout eld, therefore, that under the limitation, ing thelr own carts, or hiring clusively for their own usé, were not liable to tax u those less fortunate, who ate obliged to solicit business in the market, and whose opportunities for profit were less favora- ble, were Hab! The principle upon which taxes are {mposed {s the pre- sumed ability of those who are made liable therefor, either to pay them out of accrued profits, or to recover them from others by making the proper addition to the price of goods, or to the charges for spocific. This view is sustained by the provision of the section referred to, which authorizes per- sons liable to the tax thereby imposed to add the same to thelr rates of fare or charge for service. In tho case of rail- roals, steambo: this addition can be ensily made, but most impossible to do so, and in ver it from thelr patrot le therefor, subtract it from thelr wages, which will rarely permit any diminution for tax without making {t appoar oppressive, by rendering the business unprofitable. Where the law plainly imposes @ tax it must be collected without regard to its being polltic or just; but where the majority is. merely inferred, and causes exist for grave doubts ws to the intention of'tha Legislature, it will be ad- visable to discriminate generaily in favor of tho taxpayer, especially if, asin the present case, he belongs to a class whose alleged taxable receipts are the moderate wagvs of unskilied labor, Tam of opinion, therefore, that it {s impolltio to require farthor returns and payments from the persons engaged in the business under consideration, and all assessor and their ‘assistants will be instructed accordingly. But, of late, spite of this decision, the tax has been revived ana inany Of the assessors of tuts city msistea upon its being paid, while others passed it by. This created dissatisfaction and was the cause oi the meeting beld last nigut. Tho expressmen are hopeful that the objectionable law shall be abolisned altoge!her or made universal and applicable to all persons making a business of pubiic trafic, g able torre: {JEW YORK MEDICAL UNIVERSITY. Anunierous assemblage, including many promi- nent members of the press, were present last even- ing to celebrate vbe anniversary of the New York Medical University, in the magnificent reception rooms of the college building, at No. 8 University piace. The proceedings were opened by Secretary Powell reading the sixth annual report, from which it transpired that during the year 1869 the large number of 26,340 patients had been treated. Of this mumber 18,690 had been restored to health, and but 313 pronounced in. curable. Some 6,000 desperate cases had been greatly relieved and many had not been further re- orted, The University is duly incorporated by tho tate of New York, and has branches in most of the prominent cities throughout the Union. Like most new undertakings the University has been perse- cuted; but it would appear that the sound basis of its foundation, notwithstanding all opposition, is daily gaining the public confidence. During the year 1369 sixteen students ® satisfactory examination aud became graduates. Professor J, Waiter Scott then read an able dis- course upon ‘Medical Aisthetics,” in which he tl- lustrated the persecutions towhich all prominent reformers had been subjected, especially those of the modical profession. He furthermore alluded to some remarkable discoveries that had been made by mem- bers of the University during the last year, espect- ally in reference to cancer and smallpox. ‘The treat- ment of cancer by chemical chromium was wonder- ful, ag within a few hours-alter the application the tumor became perfectly carboriized and detached, In cases of smalipox carbolic acid was @ proven specific. PProtessor Hassett read a serio-humorous paper, entitled “Why I Left the Allopatuio School,’ in which he alluded to the erroneous systems still’ pur- sued. He claims the chemical school to be the most successful, and also that tt 1s gradually revolutioniz- ing the practice of physic in this country. Alter terminating the business reports the com- pany adjourned to a splendid supper, wh Jeliowship and joviality provailed until o | ‘Yhe pleasures of the evening were greatiy ened by Mr. J. G.

This being an extraordinary event in the history of the New World and the Erle Railroad, of course every preparation that could be made was made to render the occasion one of momentous consequence.

Interesting Letter and Despatches from am Eye-Witneas to Spacish Brutality—Four Cubaas Murdered—Everything Found bas Their Bodies, Nassau, New Provideuce, April 4, 1870, My Daan C—:— 1 was much disappointed by seeing by the New York papers, particularly by the highly tnteresting copies of the HekaLp forwarded to me, that the United States government still withholds belligerent rights from the Cubans. However, I should not be at all surprised to see the policy of the government change very shortly, as we have some very sinart men laboring with the “powers that bo,’ on that question. Verremos, — _ TOM, Phere his happened @ most shocklag and myste rious case of four Cubans, who left here with two Nassau negroes for Cuba. A general belief prevails that they have been murdered or sold toa Spantah man-orwar, The circumstances are as fol- lows:—Four Cubans undertook to pass from Nassau via Cuba to Green — Cay—botn isiands near Cuba, Their aames were Miguel Grave de Peraita, José Luis Hernandez, José Guiteres and Cornelio Locorro, ‘Shey leit in a boat with two ne- (ROS, named David Watson and Jabez Franks, and ore despatches from General Quesada to the repub- ean government at Guinero. About threo weeks after they left the boat ro- turned from Green Cay with the two colored men. ‘They reported having landed the Cubans on tie coast. ‘They stated they had taken all thelr thin with them. Mr. Carios Lomaz asked for the certif- cate of their landing, which, hawever, they were unable to produce. Their reply was that they landed there at nigit, had obtained no certificate, aud feared to wait for auy lest they should be taken by the Spaniards, Foul piay was at once suspected. The Nassaw Cubans determined to watch Watson and Jabez, and resulis soon showed that their suspicions were not without foundation, Oue of the fellows was discovered selling a dagger and some clothes be longing to one of the patriots. They were then ar- rested, their house searched aud the property of the Cubans found therein, The steamer Anna was then placed at the disposal of the government to go to Green Cay, and soon proceeded upon her course. Besides her crew there were on board a police inspector, four policemen and eleven Cubans, On reaching Green Cay they found the remainder of the outit of the missing Cubans, including rifes, pisto's, cartridges, cloth- ing, & coat stained with blood and a knife with marks of blood upon it. In fact, everything the atriota took with them, not found at Watson's jouse, Was dlacovered here, save the bodies of the men and the despatches they bore, The missing despatches makes us here believe that the Spanish gunboat stationed here and which left here before these four gentlemen started had @ hand in this mystery. No doubt exists here but that the men were mur dered. When the Anna went to Green Cay sie found there three men whom she toek prisoners, A note reached me from an authoritative source mean. while stating that Webb, one of the supposea mur- derers, died suddenly tn jatl. General Santana 18 still here. The inspector of Police, four policemen and eleven Cubans have changed the quarter of their search and bave gone by the United Force vo search tie east end of Andros Island through the middle night of the Fish Caya.glt- 13 said that a schooner had there seen the boat which carried the missing Cubans. The Spanish man-of- war Bazan left an hour after the schooner. Sinoe then 1t is pay that @ sloop which was sto by @ Spanish man-of-war brings news of the United Force being pursued by the Spanish war snip, As ail these men have passports, there will be a live! time of {6 in Havana if they be subjected to Span barbarity.
