A gen- eral Opinion prevails that a close connection exists between what is going on tn ita!y and the events of Paris, and that nothing more is to be feared, at least unul further orders, Among the military changes which, it is stated, will be coincident with the substitution of Str William Mansfleld for Lord Strathnatrn as com- mander of the British forces in Ireiand, 1s the con- version of what is now known as the Cork district into an independent command, with direct com- munication with the Horse Guards (London) by tele- graph.

The London Telegraph inters that among the gov- ernment amendments on the English Education bill there will be one providing a genuine con- science clause which shall secure the most perfect religious liberty. Tue Prince of Wales was present May 28 at}a lun- cheon given by the Baron and Baroness Lionel de Rothschild, in honor of the King of the Belgians, in London. The Duke and Ducness of Saxe-Coburg and the Count and Countess of Paris were at Constantinople about May 14 on their way to the Holy Land. ‘The collection of engravings formed by M. de Birckenstock at Vienna between 1 and 1808, and by him left to his daughter, Madame Brentano, was dispersed at Frankfort by auction in consequence of the death of that lady. The remarkable collection of Mare Antonios attracted the representatives of all the most celebrated cabinets of Europe, and the prices realized were unprecedented, The King of Prussia closed the Parliament of the North German Confeaeration May 2, with a speech, in which he assured foreign nations that the meas- ures which had been taken for the consolidation of t! Confederation and the treaties which had been made with South Germany had been adopted for the strengthening oi the German people and for the support of universal peace. The Princess Dowager Julia Obrenowitch, widow of Prince Michael, made a@ short stay at Belgrade, Before returning tv Austria she signed an abdication of all the rights and property she derived from her merriage, in favor of the State of Servia and the young Prince Milano. Letters from Yanina, Turkey, report the extirpa- tion of a band of brigands in that district, formed of twenty-seven men, who had belonged to the Bashi- Bazooks, now disbanded. A body of troops was sent to hunt them down, and the local authorities and in- habitants rendered every assistance. The two chiefs, Yussuf Garovik and Dyjemal, were taken alive, with five of their comrades, in the neighborhood of Ghoura, and fourteen were Killed in an engagement with the troops. Advices received in Liverpool (May 24) state that the steam trade through the Suez canal is rapidly in- creasing, aud that the rates of freight have scarcely undergone any dimimution. Up to April 30 the fol- jowing movements of steamers had occurred:—The Magdala had satied for Liverpool with 7,214 bales of cotton, and the Apollo with 6,205. Tne John Dry- den, the Europe, the Egtito, the Delaware, the Atlas, the Alonzo and the Adalia were to follow with full cargoes of cotton by the canal. ENGLAND. The Christian Churches’ Conference in New York—President Granvs Cabinet Approval. {From the Liverpool Courier, May 26.} On the subject of the forthvomlug conference of Christians of all nations in w York the President, Vice President and Secretary of State of the United States have subscribed a letter which does them infi- mite credit. They say:—‘“Having heard of the in- tended general conference of eminent divines, learned professors and others, from foreign coun- tries and our own, to be held in New York in Sep- tember next, under the auspices of the Evangelical Alliance, we have great pleasure in expressing our interest in that important assemblage of great and good men, our approval of the objects contemplated by it, and the hope that its deliberations may tend to the advancement of civil and religious liberty, and the promotion of peace and good will among men.” Specie Payments and Trade from America. (From the London Times (city article), May 25,) An impression 18 entemained that in the course of ashort ime specie receipts from America are likcly to be resumed on @ steady scale. During the past two years the heavy balances ane to Europe for the excess of importations over exportations have been met by the transmission of federal stocks and railway mortgage bonds; but the further sale of tae latter or of the new securities of any American joint stock undertaking having now been rendered impossible by the proceedings of Messrs. Fisk aud Gould and their confederates, one Of the chief means of supply 1s at an end, while there 18 no doubt that, looking at the connection of these per- sons with the great democratic party, which may at any date come into supreme power, such confidence ag may have been entertained in the safety of Uni- ted States obligations must also be greatly weakened. Under these circumstances the a=suinplion seems Warranted that the rate of importation of European goods must forthwith be diminished or that gold must be sent to pay so fur as they are taken in ex- cess. For the present the latter result seems to be considered tie most probavie, Womaw’s Ri and the Church. {From the Liverpool Courier, May 26.) Miss Lydia Becker sends to the press @ curious letter from Mr. Love Jones Parry, M. P., accounting for his apostacy to the cause of “women’s rights,’ by voting against going into committee on the Women’s Disabilities bill. Mr. Parry says:- ul county I represent, Carnarvonshire, the women are all liberals in politics and nofconformists in religion—that 18, the vast majority of them; and this may be said of ail North Wales. On the other hand, in England, and ‘parti- cularly in boroughs such as Bath, women are con- servative, under great clerical influence, which always tends to fetter freedom of tnought. I reiuc- ‘wantly, for these reasons, voted (against my own interests) to prevent women pane made capable ot doing what I consider political wrong in many Places—viz., voting against the liberal party.” Both friends and opponents of the bi Becker thinks—will agree that, in a question of jus- Uce regarding them, women have a right to expect Wet (ug vous of members of the Legislature should NEW YURK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. be given on the merits of the case, and not out of party considerations, The Diamonds Robbery Discovery in New York, From the London Post, May 25.) ‘Thron at the assistance rendered by Lord Claren- don at the Foreign Office, and by the Home Secre- wary, Mr. Hart, a diamond merchant at Paris, will recover a quantity of diamonds, worth about 25,000. In March last Sir. Hart was robbed of dia. monds and securities called “Paris Obligations,” and a female who had been in service, accom- panied by aman, was missing. The pigperty was advertised in the newspapers, The ich police being communicated with, traced the. parties from Paris to London, but all further trace failed, Mr, Joel Emanuel communicated on behaif of Mr. Hart with the authorities of Scoulland Yard, and it was found thatthe man suspected had left Southampton for America. On his arrival at New York he was asked what property he had to declare subject to duty; aud not being, it would seem, aware that dia- monds were liable to duty in America, he replied that he had none. In consequence of his manner he Was searched at the Custom House by Inspector Lee, and the whole of the diamonds and the “Paris Obligations” were found on him. Not being in a position to pay the duty the diamonds were de- tained, The person in whose possession the dia- mons Were found appiled to his friends in London for money to enabie him to pay the duty, The letcor ultimately found its Way into the hands of the po- lice, and, the whole of the facts becoming Known, lustructions Were sent to the authorities of New York to detain the property, Mr. Joel Emanuel communicated with Lord Clarendon and the Home Bacceters, The diamonds were claimed by the authorities as the property of a British subject, and Mr, Hart ls about to proceed to America to recover his property, The Emigrant Wave Flow to America=Influs ence of the Pacific Railroad on the Move= ment. {From the London Delppranh, May 25.) A spring tide of emigration has set in. The Old Worid 18 rapidly emptying itself, and the New Worid becomes rapidly filled up. It is recorded that 6,000 emigrants left the Mersey during the last seven days and that 7,000 are to sail tis Week. We may easily belicve that the great majorivy of those who depart seek the United States, for the statistics of New York testify to an influx greater in amount than even our own emigration, It 1s said that 7,000 persons have landed in New York during four days. A few years ago it was thoughi marvellous that the new comers amouated to 1,000 a day, now they nearly double that nun ber. It must be borne tn mind that this great exo- dius from the United Kingdom has @ tendency to ac- quire new volume and power as it goes on. Emi. “rants when they prosper in the new land send for thelr friends and relatives trom home, and the Irish and Germans must trequently remit money to defray the expenses of the second family detachment. This 18 not quite true of expatriated Engiishmen ; nevertheless, glowlug Tep.rig of the new land are often encouraging euough to those who can beg, borrow, or save the few pounds needed for tue short voyage by steam to New York.

The National Revenue=Trades Unionism— City improvements—Koman Catholic Church Progress. Our files from Great Britain are dated in London May 25. The journals supply the following interest- ing news details:— t From April1 to May 21 the British national reve- nue amounted to £8,305,050, a decrease of nearly £2,000,000 as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The expenditure during the seven weeks Was £9,869,804, or leas by £1,730,448 than the issues trom the Exchequer twelve months ago. The balance in the Bank of England was £6,668, 362, Su John Thwaites, while showing the King of the Belgians over the Thames embankment, informed his Majesty that the whole roadway between West- minster bridge and Blackfriars will be opened in the course of the preset summer. ‘The annual meeting of the “Trades Protection So- cleties” was heid May 24, in London, ‘The aggregate number of members 1n association is 20,725, compris- Ing twenty-two societies, At the quarterly meeting of the Bishop of Lon- don’s Church Fund it was reported that the amount paid in from January 1 to May 8 was £13,062.

The Seven Murders at the Facts. [From the London Post, May 25.) Horrible as Was the narrative printed by us yester- day mu reference to the appalling tragedy at the vil- jae of Denham, near Uxbridge, the full) extent of the atrocity was not depicted, inasmuch as six vic- thas only Were enumerated, whereas the complete tule of the slaughtered ones is seven; for, in addition to Marshall (the father of the family), his wife, his ister, and the three children, the aged mother of the man also fell beneath the savage atiack. ‘The incidents of the dread event, as they have suc- cessively come tolight, show the extreme ferocity with Which the murderer was actuated; but at pre- sent nothing is known for certain as to the order in which the victims met their fate, though the most feasible supposition is that the father was first deprived of life, and that then, there being no protector left, one by one the remainder of lis househol were stricken down. The cottage in Which Marshall resided is situated at the corner of a lane, near the Oxford road, at some dis- tance from apy other houses, The murder is sup- posed to have been committed on Saturday night, or early on Sunday, Marshall having been at Work until late on Saturday night, and was, when found, in his working clothes. ‘The grandmother was found mur- dered in the sume room. Marshall’s head and face were slusied and cut about in a fearful manner and covered over with sacking. His hands were seraiched in several places, and there were marks as if he had been dragged avout the ground. His head had also been beaten in the same manner as those of the other vicums. The weapons employed ap- pear to have been two—a blacksmith’s siedge ham- mer and an axe being found in the reom, both bloody. It was at first supposed that Marshall had Killed the family and then committed suicide; but ihe medical mén Who were called in pronounced it to be impossible for him to have done it, from the position tin which he was found, aud they were of opinion, moreover, that one man could not have committed so many murders without some as- sistance. Nothing appears to have been taken from the house, although iis supposed to have been en- tered for that purpose. The police yesterday morn- ig thought they had suMicient reason to regard the crime as one prompted by malice. Shortly after Christmas an incendiary fire took place at Ivy House Farm, near Denham. Marshall was at tne fire, and, in returning home, was stopped on the road and 1ll- used by four men. Two of them he subsequently identified, and they were sent to prison for two months, Their term of imprisonment has just ex- pired, and suspicion, rightly or wrongly, at once connected them with the murders, the more so, be- cause On Conviction they threatened that they would be revenged on Marsiiall. The idea of the police 1s that 1t was all the work of ove man, who murdered Marshall first, and then the women and children as they came down stairs. One account of the discovery of the bodies is as follows:— ‘The house in which the poor family lived is in a very pretty spot, avout two miles beyond Uxbridge and. close on the Ux- ford'road. The cottage stands @ little back trom the road, andis about seventy yards distant from any other house. Adjoining it is alittle free, where Samuel Marshall worked as.an engineer and sinith ina small way. ‘The man was com- fortabiy off, sober and industrious, Beside the forge bis mu- tilated body’ was found, as we have stated, aud near it was a bar of tron, or poker, bent, broken aud stained with biood and hair, Here we get some clue to the time of the murder, Marshall wasa very early riser, and very early to bed. At this time of the year he used, aid, to gel up between three and four in the morning to is horse out to graze. ‘The body when found in the forge had a clean shirt and clean on it, evidently the beginning of the Sunday emali mechanic. Mrs. Maraball’s body was found atthe bottom of the stairs in the cottage. Her gown was artly on her and partly off her, just as she most probabl Fad Barrlediy thrown it on to kaow the meaning of eries ani ting in the forge.

The heads were beaten in with several blows, aud they lay at the foot of the stairs in a pool of biood. The aix aud nin three children, ‘little girls, aged’ three, wore evidently murdered as they rushed dowa stairs on bearing the cries. The bodies o! stated, found almost under the two were, it is broplace in the kitchen, | The randmother, the mother of Marshall, was found upst Afehad, no doubt, been brained in her ‘sl ‘All bad ev! dently been killed'with the same weapon—ahammer. This implement was found in the house, covered with blood, hair and portions of brain. With it found a joine which was also bloody. Yet, as far as we have been ascertain, no axe wounds have been found on the victi ‘that the murders were done before the Sunday morning ther seers no manner of doubt. The littie, clean things belonginy to the children were ali untouched, and thetr little shoes, le clean for Sunday wear, remained as they had been p! on Sarurday night. Two watches are missing. One has been traced and found to have been pawned on Monday at Mr. Butcher's, in Uxbridge, for a few shillings. Of the other watch there is yet no trace. The description of the man who pawned the watch is somewhat vague, for litte notice was taken of hum; even the identity of t ‘atch itself is doubtful; but the ‘orother of the murdered man is positive as to the watch having his brother's watchguard, With this slight Clue, and sligut description of the man who pawned, other traces were found by the police, They ascertained that a man answering somewhat to tne description of akind of common tramp had been im Uxbriage two or three days pre- viously, and had slept at a lodgiug house tn the same room with another man to whom he was unknown, This man Nas at once come forward and given the police every aid in the way of description which ne could about his fomporary but unknown companion. The most serlois fact of all which he states Is that the bag egy murderer was about all Raprday night, so late that he did not know the time athe returned, being asleep; buton the Sunday he noticed that he haa dew and diderent clothes to those he wore the day previous, In the house where the murdered family were found wai discovered & loose heap of things, consisting of an old, worn coat, @ Waistcoat and trousers, all stained with blood. A Gout, Waistcoat, hat, trousers and other articles of men’s wearing apparel are neiasine from the cottage, Whoever did the murder took the clothes and left his own behind. The murderers, or one of them, left, also, a pair of boots behind, which are sald to have been Identied, BAVARIA. Bible History Dramatized for the Stage Scripture Characters in Costume. The Munich correspondent of @ London paper writing on ¥riday, May,20, describes the “Passion Play.” Strangers were flocking im from all parts to be present at it, not merely from all ris of Ger- many, but of the world, On the visitors’ book of ine hotel he found the name of Professor Agassiz, of “‘Cumbridge, and beside him at the table dnote that evening was a reverend graduate of Cambridge, U. 8. A., Who had come up from Florence to take a look at the spectacle trom “the ecclesiastical point of view.” The text of the drama, and also the plioto- graphs of the principal performers, taken tn different are puolished. ‘The costumes are, says the ier, “historically correct, and the persons seiected to Ml the various parts appear to Lave been chosen neither by lot nor favoritism, but tor some resem- biance in cast of face to the worthies of the New Testament they represent.

HOLLAND. The Atlantic and Great Western Kailway Interest. {From the London Times (city article), May 25.) Some persons in Amsterdam holding a sectional interest inthe aairs of the Atiantic and Great Western Railway have put forward a plan of settle- ment in opposition to that just issued in London by the president of the line, Asit has been the con- stant almo! the Erie people to get smali Knots of in- dividuals by new proposals to distract the general body from adopting any scheme that might inter- fere with their proceedings, this new movement should be regarded with the greatest suspicion, The lan of the president contemplates the nomination Nellan, Mr. Duncan (of Duncan, Sher- ) and Senator Thurman to the control of the property, and with these names before tem, calculated to inspire confidence, it would be strange if the creditors of the compauy were to pay atien- tion to any inierior representations, AUSTRALIA. Fearful Floods and Droughts. Advices from Melbourne, dated as late as the 29th of March, and received by mail from Europe, give accounts of the most distressing inundations throughout the settlements of New South Wales and Queensland, The inhabitants of those regions de- clare that the overflow of the rivers and torrents and the destruction of life and property exceed any- thing ever known before, even in Australia, the quar- ter of terrible floods. In New South Wales several of the great streams rose more than twen- ty feet above their usual level im a few hours, and swept everything before them, swamping farm lands, hamlets and villages and drowning men and cattle wholesale. In the vicinity of Windsor, for instance—the place is a small town at the foot of a range of mountaims—the entire face of the country was inundated for miles and miles, and every living thing exposed in the plains and unable to reach the higher grounds among the hills in time perished, In Queensland several of the larger towns were half submerged, and the inhabitants were compelled to seek refuge in the churches and schovlhouses, ‘tne gold mines of several districts were filled with water, and the works almost utterly ruined, suffering and the derangement of business, and even the interruption of all communication occa- sloned by these. floods, are fearful to contemplate. The rains that chiefly led to this calamity continued from early in March until towards the close of that month; and it seemed as though indeed the windows oi heaven had been opened, so that many good peo- ple, in their superstitious terror, began to tremble at the idea thata second deluge had come upon the earth. Yet while these inundations were thus devastating New South Wales and Queensland and causing incalculable loss, at Mel- bourne and in aimost every part of the colony of Victoria the most unaccountable drought prevailed, and had continued for several months, until the soll had became hardened and almost baked, so that not @ blade of grass would grow, and the fine cattle of the region began to die off in all directions of hun- ger and thirst. The effect of this singular contrast of overtiow and parching dryness 1s depiorable. Death, sickness and destitution are everywhere destroying the flocks and herds, and reducing the population so Verribly that it willttake years for the ravaged dis- tricts to regain their former flourishing appearance and substanual wealth. The European correspond- ents wno mention this visitation add that a state- Ment of the losses inflicted would fill column after column of print, and that the destruction of flocks and herds, and, worse than all, of human life, has been enormous. SINGULAR SUICIDE, for some time past David Goldberg, a Pole, twenty-seven years of age, who followed peddling for a living, has beene xceedingly despondent in con- sequence of not meeting with that success in business which he anticipated. On more than one occasion Goldberg had threatened self-destruction, but hs friends expostulated with him in regard’ to terminating his troubles in that manner. For a time after that Goldberg seemed more rational; but at length commenced acting strangely again, and app eenee to be partially deranged. On Saturday last Goldberg, while in the upper part of the city, was seized with a sudden trenzy, and. seeing a loconfotive on the track corner of Fifty-fourth street and Fourin avenue, threw himself before it as it was moving forward and was crushed beneath the iron horse, sustaining injuries to the back and fracture of the sternun. Goldberg was removed to Bellevue Hospital, where death subse- quently ensued. Coroner Keenan was notified to hoid an inquest. Deceased ha no permanent home, but the night previous to his death stopped with a friend at No, 3 Bayard street. ~~ YAGHTING NOTES.

It ts the gen- eral Impression that he was forced from the capital by the infuence of the volunteers and compelled to Proceed to the seat of insurrection in order to take Personal charge of the operations, and this in despite of the fact that he was constantly suffering from an old wound in the leg, which often compelied him to take to his bed. In going he took part of his ctvil stair with him and announced that ne should not return until the rebellion was suppressed.

Notwithstanding this the operations in pursuit of the chiefs will not be siackened, but rather continued with additional energy. In conctusion, it claims that the promise made by the Captain Gen- eral when he Jeft the capital is thus fulfilled, aod herein is found @ base for we inference that lis re- turn wiil be speedy, ‘There would seem to have been of late a general hunt throughout the Camaguey for Cespedes and the other Cuban leaders, and, according to accounts, the troops have been everywhere in active pursult. Up to this me the results have not been great. A despatch dated at Puerto Principe the 28th says that Benegasi reports the capture of Oscar Cespedes, son of the so-called President, his wife, a daughter of Figuerdo, and seven others. There were also col- lected a large number of various styles of arms. Francisco Aguilera had a miraculous escape from the coutra-guerrillas of San Quintan. Five deaths were caused by the troops, and it was claimed to be kuown that Cespedes was endeavoring to embark for Nassau. The son of the Cuban President is suid to be twenty-two years of age. What disposiuon will be made of him is not known, He is expected here on the steamer to-day from Nuevitas, aud will probably meet witn the same fate a8 Goicouria and the brothers Aguero. He was recently appointed Gov- ernor oi Bayamo. The Fanal of Puerto Principe speaks of the return of columns bringing in large numbers of women and children and some furniture on carts, In some in- stances the insurgents from behind entrenchmenis had made considerable resistance to the troops. Tie following named prisoners had been tried by court martial and shot:—Tipurcio Guerrero Valmaseda, Juan Antonio Perez, Manuel Teller, Juan Brito, Francisco Batista and Pedro Gutierrez. The Comme manding Geueral Caro in an address to the inuwpite ants refers “with horror’ to the number of assas- sinations committed by these bands of foragers in their so-calied defence of the Independence. As the Spaniards are killing without mercy every prisoner ot ed who falls into their bands, the “horror! 19 good, Dates from Santi Espiritu to the 27th, record a figut tm that jurisdiction between the regiment ‘Tarragona and the insurgents, in which the former lost four oiticers and twelve men killed and wounded, By the arrival of the steamer at Batabano last evening we have dates from Manzanillo to the 29th. ‘Lhe torces of Modesto Diaz are still in the jurisdic- tuon of Bayamo. They are sald-to be divided into three bands, and though an active pursuit of them ia reported through Spanish sources yet no operations of any importance follow. A few small affairs are mentioned. Insurgents are reported continuaily moving towards the Eastern Department from the Camaguey. From Trinidad, Santa Clara and other points come reports or smal! fights. the HERALD, It is certain they have not been very effecti\e, and as the rainy season is coming on noting can bo done; yet under date of the 26th there is published in the Gazette an ofMicial report from Puerto Principe announcing that the insurrec- tion is morally terminated. It starts off as follows:— It is fully confirmed that the new chief urrecti has ordered the general burning of all estates, houses an: places of resideuce which exist fn the country.

To THE Epiror OF 1HE HERALD: Late notices in the HeraLp of a lecture on Lola Montez have agam brought before the public, and vividly to my own mind, the memory of that remark- able person, with whom, i her latter years, I was weil acquainted. By her lonely grave to-day some- thing—I know not what—impressed me to sendja brief article to the press vindicatory of her charac. ter; for a more misrepresented, misunderstood and better abused person I never knew. O/ her early career I am personallypignorant; but from my know- edge of her in this country I discredit the prevalent reports of Its extreme immoraiity, and regard the siorles of her horsewhipping people and of her shameless conduct a3 exaggerated facts, maliciously manufactured out of her harmless eccentricities of willingly pay his taxes The employment of skilied ‘The importance of fostering our skilled huge polypus is throwing out its arms in every dl- rection, Monopolizing trade aud annually taking from us some $50,000,000, Of all the plans that have been presented the one that most commends itseif to my fudginent is that of building up a great private workshop on tne banks of the Deiaware for the purpose of buliding and Europe or elsewhere, ‘This plan proposes tne issue of bonds to the amount of $5,000,000 or ‘The military commandant of Colon telegraphs to $6,000,000, the interest thereon to be guar- | character, If ever intemperate or dissolute, she had | the authorities here that six bodies had been dis- anteed by Congress, security to be taken | rerormed; for not only washer conduct unexception- | covered near there, flve of which were of yolunteers. on the property of the company, and the A force had been despatched in pursuit of the perpe- able, but her manners and conversation indicated chaste, moral and religious habits of thinking. As an instance of injustice to her I saw it stated in an obituary notice that her death was caused by exces- sive use of brandy. During the time I knew her she was sirictly temperate. fer friends, m the habit of partaking of her hospitality at her residence tn this city, never saw wine cr other intoxicating liquors on her bountiful table, but have often heard her eloquently oppose their use a8 a beverage. She usually entertained her guests by employing almost incessantly her remarkably brilliant conversational powers on literary, moral and religious subjects, and was enthusiastic in prais- img good and denouncing evil. A dishonorabie act excited her indignation; put ler nature was full of tenderness, and a recital of the sorrows and misfor- tunes of others always aroused her deepest sympa- thy. One Sunday afternoon, When on her piazza, I directed her attention to a wagon in the street, in which was a wooden box and a poverty-stricken looking driver, drawn by an aimost skeleton horse, and followed on a white headed, infirm old man, When Task “Can that be a funeral?” she sprang to her feet, and, in a loud, authoritative voice, cried to the driver, “Stop! stop !? She ran out, and frequently put her handkerchief to her eyes while conversing with the solitary mourner. She gave him money, and on returning said, with un- controllable emotion, ‘He told me that he arrived from Germany three weeks since with his only daughter, who thought she could support him better in tuls country; but that she had died and 1s now in that box !’? and then suppiiantly raising her hands aud her large lustrous eyes, full of tears, while the mingled beauty of earnestness and faith illumined her countenance, she prayed, with an indescribable Pathos [can never forget:—‘*Father in heaven, have pity! oh! have pity upon the sorrows of that poor ola man!” If moral errors tainted her youth they must have been somewhat atoued for by the virtues of her maturer years. A communicant of the Epis- copal Chureh, she died at last Cnristian death, in the comforting and blessed hope of a happy future life. ‘The satsiaction of doing a kind, just act to the trators. A party of insurgents recently appeared near Macagua on the line of railroad from Havana. In Sagua la Grande has been captured the negro chief Matias. He was shot. The smalipox 1s raging in Creniuegos and is proving very fatal among the negroes. The Diario de ia Marina is attempting to defend the Marine Court here against the attacks of certain journals in Maarid for its action in the Lloyd Aspin- ‘wail case, Wich Was Iu reallly without a shadow of excuse, and for which the Washington government should demand @ prompt apology and ample repara- tion, The only tangible point of defence which the journal advances is that the papers of the steamer ‘were not complete, This is eutirely without foun- dation, for the Spanish official when taking charge of the papers signed a receipt cuumerating them, and which included everything which could be re- quired, and even some which were superfluous. They consisted of the register, a clearance from the Custom House at Port au Prince, @ manifest clear- auce, authenticated by the Spanish Consul ther @n Official letter or passport from tne United Sta: Consul there, addressed to the commanders of the Spanish men-of-war in the Bahama Channel; shipping articles, containing names of crew then 1 board, and an oid roil or crew list containing tie names of persons who had been employed on the vessel a few months before, when lt was i the em- ploy of the Haytien government. ‘ihe citizens of New York and, mayhap, the gov- ernment oficials at Washington, are shortly to be favored with a visit by a Spanish squadron starung: from this island, It will comprise the Almanza, having on board the Admiral, Maicampo, command- ing on this station; the frigate Gevona, the iron-clad Saragossa and the corvette Isabel! la Catolica. The squadron will proceed to New York where it will re- main some time to delight and terrify “the Yan- kees’’ and thence, if encouragement is offered, will proceed up the Potomoc to the national capital. The flagship has been undergoing some changes, with a view to merease in her armament, and the other vessels are being thoroughly overhauled. It is the intention to give as much éclat to the visit as possible, Atleast two of the vessels have bands of international Steamship Company. It is very evident that a large establishment, with all the appliances of iabor-saving machines, making all the material required for shipbuuding and ranning its own vessels on a well arranged system, can com- pete more successiully- with foreigners than small companies that nave to build their ships by contract and purchase their fittings of every description at different manufactories. The former would at once save ali the proflis charged by contractors. They could import at first cost or manufacture their out- fits, and they could be their own insurers. They would have an efficient corps of employés, all under gvod discipline, who with the prospect of steady employment would flud it to their interest to be faithful to their employers. The advantage of such alarge establisament as the one proposed to the government, both in time of war and time of peace, would “be very great. We have not at present a single establishment in the Untied States that will co with the iron shipyards on the Clyde, We can build good machinery, it is true, but not with the economy of the English, as we do not possess the great labor-saving machines that they have. We cannot forge those iinmense plates that the English are now constructing to resist. the heaviest shot, and, strange to say, we could not, with our present means, build ha ship as tae British Vessel -of-war Monarch in tive years, if at all. Itis the possession of such large private work- shops and the means of supplying any kind of plates or large masses of iron for war purposes that makes Great Britain so strong as w naval power, and no government better understands the importance of fostering private workshops and keeping their skilled labor constantly employed. The result is that allthe nations of Europe are invited to build their ships and construct their machinery in Eng: lish shops, because there only can be fouud all the appliances for building every Class of vessel.
