4 EUROPE. The King of Prussia on Na- tional Confederation. German Unity, Taxation, Military Power and Naturalization Abroad. The Seven Murders Inquest in England. Address of Catholic Nationalities to the Pope. Bxecution of a Brother and Sister in Ireland. The Cu nard mail steamship Java, Captain Cook, from Liverpool the 28th and Queenstown the 29th of May, arrived at this port yesterday evening. The Java delivered our special European correspondence and a newspaper mail report, in detail of our cable news telegrams, dated her day of sailing from Eng- land. The newspaper mail packages by the Java were delivered—unopened and in good order—at the HERALD Building at nine o'clock P. M. ‘The German mati steamship Westphalla, Captain Schwensen, from @amburg the 25th and Havre 23th of May, arrived at this port yesterday evening. In the English House of Lords, May 27, Lord Kim- berley moved the second reading of a bill to repeal the Ecclesiastical Titles act, and explamned that while the act had been virtually a dead letver from the first moment of its exisience, there were now special reasons for its repeal arising out of the disestablishment of the Protestant Church tn Ire- land, Lord Russell doubted whether it was wise to re- peal the act at a time when the pretensions of the Church of Rome were on the increase, and Lord Catrns and the Duke of Richmond objected to the form of the act, which dealt with the statute of 1861, Without reference to the provisions of the Emanct- pation act against the assumption by Catholic pre- lates of territorial tities held by the dignitaries of tie Protestant Chusch. Lord Granville explained that the latter objeotion “was removed by the severance of the connection be- tweeh the Protestant Church and the State in Ire- land,” and the bill was read a second time. In the House of Commons Mr. Fortescue, in reply to a question, stated that the government was ‘‘pre- pared to redeem their promise to deal with the ques- tion of party processions in Ireland, but that the bill on the subject could not be introduced until after Wiitsuntide,” Two men arrested—as reported in our cable tele- grams—at the Paddington Rallway station, London, on suspicton of being Fenians, were brought up for eXamination at the Marylebone Police Court, May 27, when a distiuct charge of treason felony was made against them. Corydon, the wformer, identi- fied the prisoners as having taken part in the Fenian councils previous to the projected attack on Chester Castle in 1867, One of tue prisoners was identified by Engitsh detectives as having been active in the despa'ch of armsto Newcastle and Manchester. They were again remanded. ‘The trial of the Tipperary election petition opened at Nenagh, before Mr. Baron Hughes. Mr. Purcell, Q C., who stated the case for the petitioners, charged the Catholic clergy with having used “un- due influence and intimidation, by denunciations from the after, and even persona! violence, to secure the election of Mr, Heron." He also alleged that bribery and treating were practised by the clergy as well as by others in Mr. Heron’s interest. The Kev. George Corbett and several other clergy- men who were in attendance complained to the court of the introduction of their names into the bill of particulars in connection with charges of bribery, and denied on oath that there were the slightest grounds for the statement. Mr. Purcell ad- mitted that these allegations could not be supported, and the Judge strongly “censured the conduct of the petitioners in making uniounded charges of the most serious nature against a number of clergy- men.” The tweltth batch of the English oficial cor- respondence on the Greek murders contains an account of the destruction of three brigands by three brothers named Shermant, The London Lancet states that Mr. Bright’s health has materially improved. His progress has been satisfactory, although it has been retarded by a sharp attack of lumbago. The London Globe states “Mr. Disraeli is not more seriously ill than he has been for some time.’? A telegram from Paris of May 27, evening, re- ports: The Moniteur Universelle, of this evening, pub- lishes under reserve a telegram from Potctiers, dated noon, to-day, announcing that to-day’s mail train from Limoges got oi the rails near St. Benoit. It ts asserted that the train with the passengers fell into the river Vienne. In France a private mecting of radigals was held at Belle Ville, May 26, when M, Gambetti delivered a speech, maintaining that the vote on the plebts- cite ouly constituted a condemnation of the monare! grinciples. The — frreconctlables, he said, should have no recourse to yvlo- Jence, riottug or conspiracy. They know that universal suifrage will be conceded to them ulti mately. They should therefore disavow partisans of any other means than persuasion.” M. Gambettt added that “the aitirmative majority recorded at the plebiscite was due to the fears of the bourgeoisie. It is necessary to prove to the nation that the republi- can cause fs one of order and to prove that repubii- cans are capable of goveruing France well.” The rioters of Pavia, aly, were brought before a military tribunal at Milan. Corporal Parsand was sentenced to death and Sergeant Perrin to twenty years’ unprisonment. Three others were condemned to dealt At Tullamore, Ireland, May 26, geret Shields, brother and sister, were execated for the murder of Patrick Dunne. Both were pentient. In Kilburn, England, May 26, Mr. Juda, Inspector of Nuisance, discovered twelve bodies of ciiidreu in an advanced state of decomposition on the premises ofan undertaken, who lad long since received money for burying them from their relatives. Tie underta- ker pleaded poverty. A government bill tor the parliamentary disfran- chisement of Sligo and Cashel, Lreland, was issued. The bill provides that “from and after the passing of the act the boroughs of Sligo and Cashel respec- tively cease to return any member or members to serve in Parliament." The English Committee on Conventual and Monas- tic Institutions met again May 26 and examined Mr. dguoid, solicitor, who had some experience of the conveyance of monastic property. Mo trace liad yet been obtained of the brigands who carried away the Englisnmen from near Gib- raltar. The submergence of the deep sea cable from Gib- raltar t n Was to commence May 28, The ship Lodore arrived at Queenstown from Ran- goon, India. The captain reported that when on her outward voyage she encountered terrific weather, aud during @ squall eight men were swept off the mainyard aud drowned. GERMANY.

His Majesty, the King of Prussia, closed the Reich- stag session May 27, at Berlin, with the following specch from the throne, of which we have had a brief notice by cable telegram:— HONORED GENTLEMEN—The task of the first Par- liainent of the Confederation was to iniroduce the Most essential disposition of the constitutional régime, wuder the form of organic laws, Into the political and civtl life of the people.

(From the Cork Examiner, May 28.) The inquest on the Marshall family was resnmed at Denham, England, yesterd: Superintendent Dunham pri tay morning. luced the clothes uhe murderer left behind at Denham. Marshall's brains were still clinging to the boots. He bad been kickin; him while dying. Witness described the arrest oi the prisoner at Reading. ‘The principal evidence was that of Charles Coombes, who was with the prisoner at his lodging house, and deposed to his being penniless on Satur- day and returning on Sunday morning with a new suit of clothes. Mrs. Marshall's sister deposed that the watch pawned at reeves) was not her sister’s, but the police expect to trace it. At the inquest on the bodiesof the murdered famil y at i yesterday a verdict of wilful murder against John Jenkins was returned. There is no tenth in the report that Jenkins has confessed. The London Lancet states that the princtpal point of interest in the examination of the wounds of the Marshall family ts the similarity in the mode by which they were caused. Five out of the seven vic- tims evidently received blows from a sledge-hammer. The remaluing two children exhibit fractures tha! defy description. ‘The funeral of the victtms of the Uxbridge murder took lees yesterday afternoon at Denham. A large crowd attended. The scene was extraordinary; thirty-six bearers carried the seven coitins from the cottage to the graveyard. The Surgeon's Testimony—Verdict in the Case.

The Work to be Soon Commenced—Public Sympathy Mansifested Everywhere—Cam- den and Amboy Still Filibustering— Bridging the Delaware. It appears that the directors of the National Rail- Toad are bent upon carrying out thefr long-cherished design, notwithstanding the tremendous efforts of Camden and Amboy to thwart them at every move. The friends of the new road have secured ail the necessary charters, together with the power to condemn al lands along the proposed route, and nothing now remains to enable them to commence active opera- tions but the finishing of the survey and the neces- sary funds to build the new section from Yardley- ville to Bound Brook, N. J. From all present indications the required funds ‘Will soon be supplied. The directors themselves and their immediate friends have already subscribed $600,000, and as soon as the books shall be opened equally large investments are anticipated. The farmers along the route between New York and Philadelphia appear to be quite elated at tne prospect of a more direct and cheaper transit to the two great cities, and their sympathy in favor of the road is every day practically demonstrated by their willingness to release the necessary lands at comparative trifling damages, Meanwhile the friends of the monopoly are strain- ing every nerve to prevent the construction of the new road. It is said that emissaries are at work in tampering with the feelings of those farmers and others who have a special interest in the pbuilding of the new section from Yardieyvilie to Bound Brook, but with one or two exceptions their efforts have thus far proved unavailing. One instance of defection 1s cited in the case of the president and lessee of the Pennington Seminary. This gentleman was known to have been an active friend of the National Railway, having invested $6,000 in the project. Latterly, however, he has donned the livery of Camden and Amboy, and on last Monday in+ vested $10,000 in the opposition line, which the Camden and Amboy men propose to construct from the Belvidere Railroad by way of Pennington to Millstone. This projected road is intended to. bluff the National, but with the exception of two or three persons the people ot the route are re- solved to support the latter road. On the Pennsyl- vanta side the feeling in favor of the National Rail- road is equally strong. The estimated cost of the road from Philadelphia to New York, including the erection of depots, the construction of bridges, pro rata charges over the New Jersey Central from Bound Brook to New York, stock, &c., 18 set down at $9,000,000, The stocks of the Camden and Amboy Com- pany, on the other hand, have alread; reached the enormous sum of $46,000,000, It is easy to see from these figures’ that, with four times less traffic, the National road can ylela larger dividends than the Camden and Amboy road with its present system of gigan- tic monopoly. The transit between the two cities will be shorter along the new road, the fare wili be less than it ts at present, and there fs no doubt but that the road will receive the support and patronage of the travelling public. Besides, new sections of the country will be opened up in due time by means of collateral roads, which will secure @ large amount of local business, Efforts were made last year to obtain a charter granting permission to rub the cars across the com- pany’s bridge over the Delaware at Yardleyville. The bill, however, was killed, end the com- pany intend to obviate this atiticulty by construct- ing @ viaduct at the above place, intended 1or the exclusive transit of railroad cars. This privilege they claim to be inciuded in their charter, and from the precedent established a few years agoin the case of the bridge or Viaduct across tue Hackensack river there 1s no doubt but that the company’s interpre- tation of the law in the case Js strictly correct. The Camden and Amboy men ‘appear to be alarmed at the approaching danger. it is said that the directors propose to reduce the fare and rate of freight by the system of lowering the wages of the employes. The latter are determined to resist the measure, and the attempt will toevitabiy result in a general strike. It ig also confidentially asserted that the share- holders are somewhat dissatifed with the dividends lately realized, and strongly urge the directors to re- duce in some way the present expenditure, The col- jateral roads are not paying, and by the recent strikes in the Pennsylvania coal mines they are sustaining & loss of about $50,000 per month. The fact 18 that the stocks of the Camden and Amboy road have run 80 sbigh by repeated sales and transfer, that the present holders of stock can only realize moderate profits. NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. THE INDIAN RING. Paupers Riding in Barouches and Taxpayers Going Afoot—Horrible Indian Outrages—Ap- propriating Millions of Money to Carry Out the Provisions of Treaties that Have for Years Been Abrogated— Indian Outrages in Arizona, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kansas aud Nebraska. Wasainaron, June 8, 1870, We have all been edifled here for ten days past or more by the spectacle of thirty or forty pauper In- dians riding up and down Pennsylvania avenue in open barouches, while the humble taxpayers trudged along afoot. The Indian ring correspondents have been active in chronicling the interviews of “Spotted Tail,” “Red Wolf” and “Black Bear” with our high dignitaries and sending lying despatches like this over the length and breadth of the land:— Du WwW at t Mansion pgotiadsral al Hreaident that be had Kept Le Slice prt but the fidelity had not been ) and he hoped the white man Indians as bis would hereafter at all times treat the brothers. ‘The falsehood contained in the above quoted lines has been pubiisned in a thousand forms and more extensively circulated than any truth ever could hope tobe. The false allegations that the Indians are faithful to treaty obligations, while the whites are not, has been the burden of the Indian ring- iste’ song from time immemorial ‘The truth 1s exactly the other way. Almost in every instance, since the early settlement of the country, where treaties have been made with Indians the whites have been faithful to their obligations and the Indians have been the repudiators, Not a single treaty has ever been made that has not been abro- gated time after time by the Indians. They have no idea of the obligations of a treaty, and no disposition vo observe its stipulations. Every Indian within the exterior boundaries of the United States has made dozens of treaties of peace with our government. Just how these treaties have been observed by the Indians I propose to show from certain official re- Ports now before me.

Smith, Nineteenth United States Infantry, reports as foliows:— Since the date of the treaty made at the mouth of the Little Arkanss, I believe on the 6th of October, 1865, in which the Cashchokelka Comanches joined, these and other contract- Ang parties to the treaty have carried off @ large amount of stock in violation of its provision and have siain and mado captive many white persons held In speculation to be ran- Yomed. The practice of the government of condoning (par. doning, perhay offenées, by the payment of liberal sums, has bad the natural effect of encouraging this inhuman trafié among the Indians; and every day of its continuance adds difflcuities to the return to what I deem a wiser and storner policy, and one that would ultimately be the moat hu- 1 ly inexperience in the exigencies of the front ¢ to defer to the views of such sensible white real- from long residence among the Indians ¢; and this communication, while tt expresses my own, is more particularly the embodiment of their views. One J. H. Leavenworth and E. W. Wynkoop, Indian agents, appear in these reports as apologists for the Indians. HOW INDIAN AGENTS GET RICH. Indian agents appear to think that ap Indian can dono wrong. They get rich by trading with them, and are of course anxious that their trade shall con- tinue, Major Douglass, of the Third infantry, makes the following report:~ The issue and sale of arnis and ammunition, such as breech-loading carbines and revolvers, powder and lead (loose and in cartridges) and percussion caps, continues without intermission, The issue of revolvers aud ammuni- tion is made by Indian agents, as being authorized by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and the sale of them inthe atest abundance is made by traders. Blitterfreed, an In- dian trader, formerly of the Overland Exprea Jargest investment in Indian goods of all the tr: hay sold several cases of arms to the Cheyennes pahoes, Between the authorized tssue of agents and the sales of the traders the Indiaas were never b med than at the pre- sent tine. Several hundred India ve visited this post, ail of whom had revolvers in their possession, & lutge tm: Jority had two revolvers, and many of them three. The 1 uians openly boast that they have plenty of arms and ammu- nition in case of trouble in the spring. The Interior Department does not seem to appreciate the danger of this arming of the Indians. ‘The agents have no real control over the traders; in fact, they are accused by many, both Indians and white men, of being in league with chem 'and of drawing a large probt from ¢ trade, Should such be the case (and T think it highly probable) it 4s « natural consequence that the agent does uot wish to con- tro] the trader. ‘The ausiety of Indians at the present time to obtain arms ‘and ammunition is a great temptation to the trader, For a revolver an Indian will give ten, even twenty times its value in horses and furs; powder and lead are sold to them at al- nd as the bulk 18 small large quaniities can be transported at comparatively litte expense, This anxiety cannot be caused by a lack of such articles, because they bave plenty to last for some time; but everythibg tends to show that the Indians are laying | tory to an outbreak. When this outbrea: tou late, that we have provided our enemies with for our Westruction, If the treaty system is abolished, the Indians brought under the subjection of United States laws and the appropriations from our national ‘reasury to carry out abrogaied treaty stipulauons stopped Uils profitable trade must also stop. NEBRASKA, Isubmit the following extracts from oficial re- ports to show haw the Nebraska Indians observe Mel: treaty Obligations : I feel it my duty to report that two raids have been made on the working parties of the Union Pacitic Railroad to-day ; three men killed and one wounded, and that ff more troops and the cavalry are not distributed’ along where the men are working they will probably stop. In my judgment, at least one regiment $7 needed. .H.

Traffic in Dead Bodies—A Brutal Busines— Street Cleaning—The Offal Docks—The Swill Feed Business—The Quaran- tine Warehouses, The Board of Health met yesterday, President Bos- worth in the chair. Alltne members were present with the exception of Commissioner Henry Smith. The resolutions submitted last week, requesting Congress to erect one or more warehouses near quarantine anchorage for tne relief of commerce, were reported by the Sanitary Committee and passed, seven toone. The secretary was ordered to trans- mit them to the Governor for his approval and trans- mission to Congress. The resolutions appeared in the HERALD of Thursday last. TRAFFIO IN DEAD BODIES. ‘The Register reported that Inocenlia Pender, aged five months, died June 11m Brooklyn. The body of the child was conveyed to New York by Michael Grace, undertaker, of No. 48 Prince street, who next day carried it back without any permit from the Boards of New York or Brooklyn. The Register Stated that he 1s informed several sextons and un- dertakers, some of whom manage so-called ‘fash- fonable establishments,” carry on a regular traffic in dead bodies, conveying them surreptitiously to various quarters of the city where store. rooms exist, where they are aeposited for an indefinite period, and are finally delivered to friends upon exhorbitant fees. He recommends the amending of section 145 of the new code so that no human remains shall be removed’ or conveyed from, or shall be retained for more than three days tn, New York city. The Board fully approved the suggestions. A permit was granted McGrath and Quinn to dump manure at the foot of West Fifty-fourth street, subject to the regulations of the code. THE RBGISTRY OF VITAL STATISTICS, ‘The Register recommended that, owing to the num. ber of persons applying for transcripts of births, mi and deaths béing on the increase, a tee of $1 be charged foreach search. Referred to the Comnuttee on Law and Ordinances. STREET CLEANING. Dr. Cottman, street cleaning inspector, reported as to the organization of his bureau, and gave a list of streets that, in his judgment, require more trequent cleansing than the contract provides, He names the streets in the Second, nird, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Four- teenth and Seventeenth wards, east of Second avenue, as needing daily cleaning; the streets of the Eighth, Ninth, Sixteenth, Twentieth and Twenty- second, below Forty-fifth street, and Eighteenth ward, east of and including ‘third avenue; Nine- teenth ward, between Lexington and First avenues, trom Fortietn to Fifty-ninth street; Seventeenth ward, west of Second avenue—to be cleaned eve second day. All other wards to be cleaned seml- weekly. Peter Cooper, from the Citizens’ Associa- tion, called attention to the fithy condition of the streets of the city. His contmunfcation was referred to the proper officer. The street cleaning couunittee were empowered to clean the streets named, ‘A VOICE FROM PARIS. A communication was received from Frank Moore, of the American Legation at Paris, asking that copies of statistics, &c., relating to the local govern- ment be furnished to the Prefect of the Seine, who is anxious to secure a knowledge of the working of our-municipal system. The Secretary was ordered to comply. VACCINATION. The Sanitary Committee asked and obtained au- thority to advertise a notice in the papers calling upon the people to vaccinate their chiluren. ‘The owners of the offal dock, foot of West Thirty- eighth street, appued for a permit to render dead animals at that point. Referred to Sanitary Com- mittee. CARTING SWILL. Dr. Morris submitied the following report:— BUREAU OF SANITARY INSPECTION, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, NEW Youk, June 6, 1870, To THE BOAR! ¥ THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT :— ‘he accompanying list ot applications for permits to dart swill having been referred to me for invest}- gation and report, Ihave the honor to submit for your ap- proval, In doing 80, allow me to offer the following a tons for your consi¢eration:-—The business of collecting swill, garbage and kitchen reft from hotels and residences: by certain parties is one of considerable magnitude. Thou- sands of dollars are paid for the privilege of taking these ma- terials from the large hotels, to be used for feeding swine and manufacturing fertilizers beyond the city limite. Heretofore no instructions have been enforced concernin, the removal and conveyance of this offensive materi through our principal thoroughfares, and, as a consequence, frequent complaints bave reached this oflice relating thereto, As, for instance, carts or wagons loaded to overflowing, with their liquid contents dripping upon the streets, have been al- lowed to pass along, and sometimes remain at hours in some public street, where the offensivens wi tolerable, or during transportation across the adjacent rivers upon ferry boats, the liquid offensive contents were allowed to drip upon the decks of the boats, producing conditions al- ‘most inguiferable to the passengers. Th my efforts to apply dome remedy for these offensive practices the enforcement of the present ordinances, through the assistance of the poet has already caused some im- provement and compelled these applications for permits. In view of these facts { would respectfully recommend that a special blank permit be provided, upon the back of which sections of the code of ordinances specis pl applying to this business be printed as foliows :-—Sectiout }, 9, O9, 100, 101, 102 and 103. In enforcing section ninety-two, spectally with reference-to the time of removal, and section ninety- nine, as to the proper construction of vébicies engaged in the business, such regulations should be enforced as woula pre- vent any cause of complaint. ‘After carefully watching the methods now employed and considering the improvements that might easfiy be adopted, I respectfully submit the foliowing as a regulation to be re- quired tn the proper construction of vehicles fr use in this business, viz. reat all vehicles in which hotel and house awill, garbage or other offensive material ot aliquid nature 4s to be placed for transportation shall consist of tightly covered iron-bound casks or boxes. These can be made of any size and adapted to any cart or wagon for trans- ortation from the places of reception and discharge. Provided with proper handies they will be found moat oon: venient for the purpose intended. They can be readily washed out and cleansed before being retilied. Those havin, tignt covers, securely fastened, will prevent the escape of offensive odors or dripping upon the ground oF docks of ter ryboats, and with the enforcement of the other sections of the code of ordinances before enumerated very decided it provements in the mode of conducting this offensive busing may be secured, Respoctiuly your obedient servant, MOREAU MORRIS, City Sanitary Inspector. UNCLE SAM IN souTH AMERICA ‘The United States Government Asked to Send a Vessel to Protect American Intere ests at Maracnibo. A petition addressed to the Hon. H. Fish, to be Placed before the President, has been numerously signed by the merchants of this city doing business with Venezuela, among whom are the names of Maitland, Phelps & Co, E, Parenstedt & Co., Schinhasky, Lotz & Co., and Hernandez, Depperman & Co. They call the attention of the President to the necessity of sending a war vessel to Maracaibo, which is threatened to be taken by Guzman Blanco, the leader of the present revolution, to protect American interests at that port. z vuring the tronbles with Pingar at Maracaivo no United states vessels were ever sent there, and put for the presence of the British war steamer Cherab at that time mauy lives would haye been sacrificed and property destroyed, EXCURSION OF THE CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY, The schools of the Children’s Aid Society were treated by H. B, Crossett, on Tuesday, to a grand steamboat excursion to Crosseti's Grove, a beautiful picnic ground near Perth Amboy. The steamer Wyoming took on board at Fifty-ninth street the Park school, the Fifty-third street school and ¥ifty- second street school, At Christopher street it took & barge with the Sixteenth street school and Fifth ward school on board, and went to Fiith street and East river, where the party was joined by the Phelps? school, East river scnodl, avenue B schools aud the German school. About 1,500 persons were thus embarked. They en- sjoyed a delightful sali down the bay and landed at noon at the grove, where they remained about three hours, swinging, playing, rambling through the woods and gathering wild flowers. On their return they were treated to ico cream through the liberal. ‘uy of at, J, Dixou and Dunnington aud Emigh, ? fully as large in its dimensions as THE BEETHOVEN CENTENNIAL, THE MUSICAL JUBILEE OF 1870, The Coliseum and Its Interior Fittings and Ar. rangements—Extensive Preparations for the Great Musical Festival—18,000 Per sons to be Accommodated—A Bril- liant Display Anticipated. The astonishing rapidity with which the arrange. ments for the approaching great musical festival are ing completed is worthy of notice. An entire trans- formaiion has within the shortest possible time taken place in tig interior of the Coliseum, and, although the workmen are gtill busily engaged, it has now assumed quite a different appearance to that which it recently presented. Indeed, the great energy, taste and spirit displayed in the magnificent and ap- propriate fittings clearly indicate that @ brilliant exhibition 1s at hand, No expense appears to have been spared in the way of commodious accommoda- tion, comfort and elegance, and while, of course, the alterations are only of @ temporary character, strength, ease and costliness are throughout apparent. Amore suitable site than the Empire Rink could not have been obtained in the city. It possesses all the features that could possibly contribute to the suc- cess of the festival, among the most prominent being its splendid acoustic properties. It is now a grand, colossal theatre, handsome in its atructure, bright and airy and easy of both entrance and extt. Itis particularly well ventilated, @ refreshing current all the while running through the building. Had the structure been expressly erected for the enter- tainment it could not have been more suitable. 80 far, therefore, as the interior arrangements are con- cerned the enterprising managers have certainly left nothing undone and confidently anticipate thetr final completion by saturday. ‘THE STAGE ts admirably constructed. Past experience has shown that che close huddling vogether of many choristers is invariably attended by much confusion, to say nothing of the great inconvenience endured by the performers. “The stage at the Coliseum is perfect in every pomt and so beautifully situated that not a single voice will be lost. It measures 115 by 180 feet. At the extreme edge it isa little over three feet in height and gradually slopes up. The organ 1s being erected in the centre at the back, but owing to its altitude considerable way beneath had to be made for its location. It is of black walnut, forty feet high, twenty-five feet wide and fifteen feet deep. It has two sets of keys, with two and a half octaves of pedals, thirty-one stops and 1,800 pipes. Last evening the workmen had almost completed its erection. On either side of the organ will be the main entrances to the stage forthe solo- ists and principal artists. To the extreme right there will be four stairways for the chorus leading down to dressing and ante rooms below. The centre of the stage will be occupied by the orchestra, measur- ing 40 by 120 feet, and seats will be arranged for about 500 performers, extending to the right and left. The arrangements for the chorus are especially well designed, and easy accommodation will be afforded for over 3,000 voices. The hearty and eai- nest manner, however, in which the vari- ous societies from Connecticut, New Jersey, Massacousetts ana other States have responded to the call of the managers has necessitated the erec- tion of other seats adjacent to the and one thousand additional singers can readily be provided for. The stage decoration and ornamentation wilt include appropriate banners and Life figures of Beethoven and Mogart will be conspicuously pees, on both sides of the organ, and busts of fendelssohn, Haydn, Handel, Von Weber and others ‘will add to the display. Altogether the stage, for the purposes intended, ts perfection itseif. THE AUDITORIUM. It should be mentioned that about halfway down the auditorium from the stage the aisles in close proximity to the walis will be elaborately arranged With sofas, lounges and chaira, to be reserved for the season ticket holders, and the remainder of the aisies towards the entrance doors will be clear and unobstructed for promenading. The auditorium itself is about 430 feet in length, and has a width of over 200 fect. The sight and hearing are not in the slightest degree interfered with by pillars, The roof forms a clear span from wall to wall, and is sup- orted by numerous iron arches, which converge and join sozomee at a height of 100 feet from the ground. neu BI ~ pens ness sad ne Length, an: dati From 16,0010" 18,000, The seats in the au- ditorlum are very handsomely arranged and are probably the best of the kind ever gotten up for tem- porary use, During the evening performance the Methods of lighting will be by gas and large caiclum lights, rendering the interior as bright as in day- time. By the universal desire of the conductors the decorations, while appropriate, will not be very ex- tenstve, as it was clearly shown at the Boston Ju- bilee that the numerous flags and banners waving in the air materially marred the per- fection of the harmony. In connection with the auditorium it should be mentioned that in order to avoid all confusion cards wit designate the exact location of every seat in the building, so that ushers will have but little trouble i escorting visi- tors to their seats. THE BALCONY. This is an entirely how and much desired struc- ture, and will doubtless be much sought aiier. Itis teinway Hall, and is situated over the main entrance. At least 2,000 peopie can easily be seated, and perhaps the two best features which mark it are great strength and a splendid view. Indeed the fixtures through- out the building are of the most substantial charac- ter, all reating as they do on soild foundations. It is thought that the balcouy will perhaps be the most attractive piace in the building on ac- jount of the admirable features which surround it. ‘he view is certainly magnificent, and the colossal characteristics of the building can only be properly appreciated from 1t. THE PROGRAMME, ag will be seen, 13 of @ mam.noth character, and deserves the highest commendation for the judicious selections which have been made. By permission of the Mayor the cannon to be used in the interpreta- tion of the “Star Spangled Banner” will be dis- charged in @ vacant lot at the northeast corner of the building, The sincere co-operation of the various choral socicties trom several States at once proclaims the great interest taken in tne festival. But the names of Parepa-Rosa, Kellogg, Briguoli, Lefranc, Isabella McCulloch and a congregation of other brilliant artiste cannot fatl to bring together the largest assemblage ever seen at any musical festival in New York. As previously announced, the open- ing day will be Monday next, when some of the ins of the greatest composers will be performed. (he entire programme, however, speaks for itseif, and little need be said in reference to it, except that 4t cannot fail to receive the cordial endorsement of those who love true art. THE DISTINGUISHED VISITORS wil in all_probabillty include President Grant and otner military cliteftains, together with several members of the Cabinet, while the Governors of several States have already notified the mana- gers of their acceptance of the invitation to be present. Beautifully constructed balconies for the reception of distinguisned guests are now in a lair way towards completion and will assuredly en- hance the present aspect of the building. It is un- derstood that the raliroad and steamboat accommo- dations to be afforded will largely mcrease the at- tendance. In the city arrangements have been made for a sultable connection With most of the ave- nue cars with the Belt Railroad, so that no inconve- nience may be suffered by those residing at any great distance from the Coliseum. THE FESTIVAL will, it is confidently anticipated, be a great success, ‘On the merits of the performance there can as yet, of course, be no judgment ined but it is safe to predict that everjtuing maicates a great musical triumph for the city. In the experienced hands of Mr. P. 3. Gilmore and the other eminent conductors, including Cari Bergman, Dr. James Pech, Carl Zerrahn and Carl Rosa, a fatiure is next to impossi- ble. Altogether a great musical event is at hand, and if carried out in the spirit the managers intend @ permanent foundation will be laid for such great festivals in time to come. THE MUNICIPAL SQUABBLE IN TRENTON. The Common Council Still at a Dendlock— A Regular Kilkenny Cat Fight. The wheels of the Trentoa city government are 80 deeply sunk in the slough of political con- tention that after two months of vigorous pulling the citizens have not yet succeeded in putting the vehicle in motion. The élection of the 11th of April created a tie in the Common Council, which has thus far tri ptind an organization, The demo- crate insisted on holding a special election in the ’ Seventh ward for the purpose of deciding the odd vote, but the republicans were all along pppoe. to this measure and favored a compromise of the two parties, On Tuesday night the regular monthly meeting ‘was held, and, aftera good deal of balloting and speechifying, adjourned until next Tuesday, without being aole to effect an organization, The democrats appear to yield a little, and on Monday offered to organize on condition that the republicans should withdraw the name of Mr. Belville, their candi- date for chairman, and appoint any other republic member that they might wish. ‘The democrats wer hot opposed to Mr. Belvilyc on any personal grounds, but the pride of party spirit suggested to them the propriety of witndrawing the two ortginal cancdi- dates. This concession the republicans were nob willing to grant, and, ttusequently, uo chairman could ve elected.
