CuicaGo, Sept. 18, 1870. The St. Paul Press of yesterday morning says that gentleman who has just arrived from fort Garry jnforms them that flerce exasperation prevails among ‘he French population there at the perfidious viola- ton of tne pledges made by the Canadian yovernment and by Minister Thornton to Secretary Fish, whereby the unopposed entrance of Canadian troops was secured. ‘This gentleman was told by Riel, the day before the troops arrived, that all had been satisiactorily Brranged, and that he was awaiting the arrival of the newly appointed Governop (Archibald) with his troops to turn over the government to hit. Until she arrival of troops within a few miles of Fort Garry he was confident that the arrangements would be carried out in good faith, ‘and that the troops had no other but pacific inten- tions, which thelr commander and the government had professed, and that Governor Arclubald was to come before them and receive the government at nis hands. These assurances had been given hin fy Bishop Tache on the behaif of Governor Archi- bald and the Canadian government; but at daylight on the 23d of August word brought to him that the troops were advancing up the Red river from Stone Fori, and were iuaking prisoners of everybody passing through their Lin that they ‘were in fighting array, capturing horses and mount- ing them with rfiemen, with artillery limbered and INaking every preparation for baie. Riel saw at once that he hud been deceived, and that these warlike demonstrations in a country with no enemy infront had a hostile purpose, and that at was @ treacherous ambuscade and a surprise ander a flag of trace, and that he and his colleagues ve the provisional government were to be the vic- ms. Rtel, Donohue Lepin anda few friends at once Rook horse and fled, Kiel going to American terri- ‘ory. As the troops entered Fort Garry they loudly demanded of everybody where Riel was, declaring they would shoot him at sight. Everybody was arrested who was pointed out as having any conrec- tion with Ricl’s movements. On the day of the arrival of the troops they were pail o:f and let loose ‘upon a settlement, which they turned into a pande- monium. Governor Archibald had not yet arrived. The French half-breed population were intensely excited ‘by these events. The elements of « rebellion are far more formidable than ever and are ready to burst forth into a flame any moment. There is a story ‘which is vouched for by good authority that Riel and his colleagues left Fort Garry and the couniry upon the advice of Bishop ‘Tache, on the assurance that after Governor Archibald’s arriva! ail would be well.

The Army Advance on Rome—Proclamation to the Romans—The Indopendence of the Holy Seo Guaranteed—Retiroment of the Papal Forces. FLoesnce, Sept. 13—P. M. General Cadorna, late Minister of War of Italy, who nas chief command of the troops of King Victor Emanuel now advancing on Rome, nas issued a Proclamation to the Roman people, in which ne’ assures the inhabitants of the Eternal City and of the Papal States generally that he does not bring them war, but peace and good order, leaving the subject matter of the decision of their future gov- ernment and the manner of its administration en- tirely to themselves, * General Cadorna adds that the ecclesiastical inde- pendence of the Holy See wil! not be molested in any way by the Itallans. ‘The army of the King of Italy meets with an en- thusiastic reception everywhere fror ‘ne people of the Roman States. ‘The troops are advancing rapidly towards Rome.

The march on Rome, although it ts conducted un- der the shadow of the royal flag of Italy, ts really moved forward by the moral force of republicanism of the Itailan people, which is more powerful than the throne. King Victor Emanuel is the servant of the Popular will. What this will ts, and in what dtrec- tion it now tends, was expressed a short time ince 4 a manifesto of the Universal Republican Alliance, issued in Milan and circulated by its central commit- tee of the southern provinces of Italy. This doca- ment testified to the impatience of the republican party of italy to display their fag in its entirety, “only one fold of which has as yet been seen,” aud to march forward. One passage of the paper rans thuss— Our glories are all republican. Dante, Michael Angelo, Ferruccio, Galileo, Savonarola, Aifleri, Giordano Bruno, Foscoie, Arnaldo de Brescia—ail these were soldiers of that graud idea. And when the other States of Europe iadniged in the sleep of Slaves our communes—isolated detachments of a great army—sustained a gigantic struggle against tyraiiny and indicated in the Lombard e the future commonwealth of the nation. At present it ts no ionger to the detached towns that we ought to look, but to a union of them, grouped among them- selves, In order to give to the country unity with liberty. Are we not the eldest of the Latin race ¢ And under the siadow of our flag are there not to- day visible two grand figures which have no equal along any other people—Garipaldi and Mazzini? The proclamation has afixed to it the words, “Liberty ! Fraternity! Equality! Labor!” ‘The seal is red and with the same legend. ‘THE TEMPORAL CONDITION OF THE PAPACY. When the Italians are installed in Rome the civil administration will be beset with a number of first and perplexing dificulties. The chief one of these will be the matter of public finance—a list of embar- rassments to which the King of Italy has already become slightly familiar in Florence. The Papal treasury budget is really in @ bad way, notwith- standing the contributions of the faithful during the Council. The civil executive of Rome has not pub- Ushed a regular budget of income and expenditure during the past four years. One of the latest and most reliable exhibits of the Treasury Exchequer Department of his Holiness shows that the annual revenue of the Papal government derived from the usuggsources amounted in 1864 to 25,000,000 francs, or $5,000,000. The public debi atthe same date ‘Was stated as follows:— Consolidated... Rothschiud and Ps at. Pensious, sundry charges a Loan ot 1860. Consolidated ni Consol.duted (November, Loan of 18 Total. So that in the beginning of 1865 the Pope was, commercially speaking, insolvent, if toowe one hundred millions of dollars in gold, and to be una- ble to pay the interest, deserves to be called insol- vency. Besides his territorial revenue income the total result of Ove years’ collections of Peter's pence was thirty-seven millions of francs, or about five and one half millions of dollars, or seven millions and a half of francs annually contributed by two hundred mililons of Catholics—something less than ninepence sterling a head. ¢ The Universal Republic.

The attention of the Treasury Department has been called to another blunder commitred at the late seasion of Congress, and one which 1s causing a great deal of indignation among the merchants of the seabord cities, It appears that in the act re- organizing the Marine Hospital service and provid- in@ for the relief of sick and disabied seamen, Collectors of Customs were required, after the 1st of August last, to collect trom the musters or owners Of vessels of the Unitea States, whether engaged in foreign or coasting trade, the sum of forty cents per month for every seaman employed on the vessel since she was last entered at any port of tne United States, The tax, prior tothe 1st of August, was twenty cents per month, and masters of vessels arriving from foreign ports find that no allowance can be made in the rate of assessment for the time Previous to the day when the law went into eflect, but are compelled to pay the new rate for the whole period, no matter how many months have expired since they last entered an American port. The result ts that the tax is being paia in every city under protest, and now that this question has come before the department, the Acting Secretary of the Treasury, who {8 likewise Acting Attorney General, declines to decide the validity of the act, but lias referred the question direct to Attor- ney General Akerman, and awaits his return to off Ctal duties for a decision. The points are, is the law retroactive in its opérations, and who are taxable under its provisions ? The Prussian Advance on Paris. The State Department has been officially advised by our Consul at Paris that the Prussians are within twenty or twenty-five miles of that city. Pervonai. Rev. J.

The northern disirict of the State will show a much larger ratio of increase. A correspondent at Jacksonville writes that In the three counties of Sagamond, Morgan and Wacou; Milinois, there is an aggregate of over three hun- dred thousand acres of corn, which good judges es- timate will yield fifty bushels to the acre, showing an. aggregate of 15,000,000 bushels, “RAGING IN KENTUCKY, LOUISWLLE, Ky., Sept. 13, 1870.

Messrs, Holbert. io Bioebamton, THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE. Five Thousand Dollar Stakes and the Champion- ship of the World—Practice of Both Crews— Betting Almost Even on tho Result—A Herald Correspondent Visits tho Oars- men—The Long and Short Stroke— The Course—Pool Selling— Other Bacos — Gossip. Montreal, Sept. 13, 1870, The great and alil-absorbing matter of interest In this section just now is the great international acquatic contest in the St. Lawrence, at Lachine, next Thurs- day afternoon. Both the Tyne crew from Eng- land, and the St, John crew, from New Brunswick, have been in dally practice near the scene of the coming struggle for up- wards of a fortnight, and it is reasonable to believe that their thorough and constant training, together with seeming confidence of success on both sides, will render the race one of the most exciting aud interesting in the whole history of rowboating. Itis well known the race is a four-oarea one, dis- tance s1X miles, and the laureis are $5,000 in gold and aquatic champlonstip of the world. Both crews are muscular, plucky and skilled, and neither of them admit lor @ moment the possibility of defeat, and hence it 1s there is so much interest clustering around the event and that the friends of the respect- ive oarsmen are so backward in staking their sur- plus finances upon the result, Notwithstanding, however, there is an apathy and evenness in the betting and pool selling, it is nevertheless clear that the public confidence leans in favor of the St, John crew. ‘The HERALD correspondent visited the rival oars- men at their training quarters, and, as before inti- mated, found them both already elated with the visions of coming glory. lt must be confessed, in an impartial view, that the New Brunswick crew 1s the superior of the two in point of physical appearance, strength, skill and endurance; but it should be remembered that in a matter of this kind Personal attraction and a fine physique should not be too highly estimated, while the St. John boys are the perfection of humanity, apparentiy of aquatic skill, the fact should not be overlooked that their rivals are of that indomitaple, persevering temperament, wich, if backed by suM™cient physical strengih and aquatic skill, ought to be almost sufficient to justify them in the perfect confidence of victory which they seem to indulge in. The St, John men puil_ the short, quick stroke, say forty to forty-two per minute, and the Tyne crew believe in and practice the long and steady, Claiming that thirty-eight strokes per miaute are about all that can be made to advantage, and the race will, therefore, be rowed in a manner which will contribute some enlightenment upon the supe- riority or inferiority of the long or short stroke. ‘The course over which the crews are to pull is not the best but almost the worse which could have been selected. To-day, with only a moderate breeze along shore and Lagyeron azephyr in this city, there was such @ heavy swell or sea that it was almost impossible for either of the competitors to indulge m their customary practice. The Tyne crew, aiter going over the course, came in with their litie boat half full of water, and the St. John men were So dissatisfied that they positively declare their in- tention of insisting on a postponement of the race on Thursday if the course is not smoother. The Tyne crew, on the other hand, while they admit that the course 18 not desirable, will not, so they say, agree to @ postponement, and it is therefore certain that the race will come off as arranged. The importance and interest in this international contest are manifest not only from the large crowds gathering to witness it but from the telegrams from all sections, seeking advice as to the prospects of this or the other crew, to ailof which nothing of a definite character can be said in reply. An attempt at pool selling Was made in Chadwick’s billiard hall this evening, and although the friends of the respective crews were present with well stuffed leathers, they were all reluctant to wager upon the contest. Now and then a small pool, say of twenty-five to tweaty-three, was offered and quickly taken, and then it would instantly be offset by a similar pool in favor of the ther crew, and be as readily accepted by the op- Rosie side. A few such incidents as these show the evenly balanced opiuion here, and until the race ta begun and ended nothing more definite tn the line of intelligence, foreboding the result, can be tele- grapbed abroad. Besides this international race there will be seve- ral other fine maiches under the auspices of the Lachine Boating Ciub, some of them coming off to- morrow and others on Friday. Rentorth, of the Tyne crew, will indulge in some of the races of the latter day, and also Winship and Taylor, each pulling im single sculls, Walter Brown aso here, mingling freely with the Tyne and St. John crews, but _sympathizing, it 18 said, with the Englishmen. He 18 accompanied by Captain Gardner, the Harbor Master of Boston, who 1s re- sponsible for the not generally believed story that the Brown boy will challenge the best man of the winning crew in the contest of Thurs@ay. Renforth, the credited crack man of the Tyne aquatics, does not believe Brown will do anyu of the kind, and a great many others famtiar with bis boating history share in the same opinion. Old Bob Berry, of ‘Toronto, as black as charcoal and the champion of the St. Lawrence, talks of challenging Brown if he can obtain a backer, and the experiment of Angio- Saxon versus Caucasian in uatic §=matters will then be tested, As before stated, tne city is full of strangers, Every inward train is crowded. The hotels are crammed. Private dwellings are being filled up, and everything promises to bring about lively and interesting times the balance of the week. Empire City Rowing Regatta Club—The Ladies? Race—Presentation of Prizes. Last night the distribution of the prizes won by the contestants in the rowing regatta of this club took place in Muller's Hall, corner of 119th street and Third avenue, Harlem, The room in which the distribution took place was nandsomely decoratea with flags. Alarge assemblage of ladies and gen- tlemen were present. Several prominent oarsmen were also in attendance, and members from the Nautilus, Nassau, Gramercy and Empire City Rowing Clubs were among the guests of the even- ing. About nine o'clock Mr. Stephen Roberts, Prest- dent of the Empire City Club, announced that the prizes would be distributed, — First on the list was iiss Sheehan, who carried off the ladies’ prize, a handsome gold watch. Owing to illness, a cir- cumstance much regretted by all present, the dashing young oarswoman was not in attend- ance, so the prize was handed over to her representative. The names of the other lad es who received prizes cousisting of small gold medals and gold boats, were Miss Mary Walters, Miss Ma: Kyie, Miss Olivia Roberts and Miss Ann Williams, ‘The other prizes consisted of large and small gold medals and gold boats and sums of money. ‘The names of the oarsmen who succeeded in carrying off these were Messrs. Beglin, Biue, Snechawe Roberts, Reilly, DeCamp, Frances and Quinlan. After the distribution was over the guests sat down to a fruitful repast, and the evening closed with singing, dancing and speech-making. Byron, GREAT TiMPERiINCE DEMONSTRATION. s County an Uproar—Brilliant Ad- Music“Dash Down the Poi- For @ month the temperance people of Queens county, L.

Queens has indeed an unwritt@A history as regards temperance, its effects and workings. Every town in the county has a division and some of them count their membership by the hun- dred, so that morally it is a power, and would be politically could they be induced to acquiesce in the ideas of Ned Buntiine. But the meeting of yester- day was one long to be remembered. in the hand- some grove at Brushville, where was roasted the famous 2.000 pound steer shortly after Lincoln's first election to the Presidency, was assembled an im- mense concourse of people, some coming from a far distance, in the hope of being afforded an opportunity of hearing Beecher and Gough, but, unluckily, they were sadly disap- pointed. However, two shining lights in the tem- rance firmament, in the persons of Dr. Cuyler and ev. Stephen Merritt, entertained them in an eminent manner. The speeches were decidedly good, and the assemblage was moved to sympathy with the cause. There was excellent singing by the mem- bers of the divisions, led by Professor Allen. In the evening there were humorous sports in the shape of a picnic and country lovemaking, which was con- tinned until midnight, when all departed, apparently highly pleased with the entertainment. “A SEASIDE HOTEL BURNED. Yesterday morning a fire was discovered in the Camp room of the Savin Rock hotel at about four o'ciock. When discovered it had made such pro- gress that it could not be extinguished, and the hotel was totally destroyed, with all its contents. ‘The hotel has been @ famous seashore resort for thirty years, and was located at West Haven, Conn. It belonged to Messrs. J. H. & T. Dan & Co. The insurance amounted to $18,000, which fally covers the loss. The insurance was in the following compantes:—Commercial, Chicago, $2,500; Teutonia, Cleveland, $2,500; Merchants’, Chicago, $2,500; Independent, $2,5( Occidental, Caliiornia, $2,600; Georgia Home, Columbus, Ga., $2,500; Narraganset, Providence, $3,000.

A Shocking Fraud on the “Party of Great Moral [dean.”” A largely attended meeting of the Union Republl- can Association of the Sixieenth Assembly district was held last evening at No. 279 Third avenue, Captain William Atkinson presiding. The en- tire time of the meeting was occupied in discussing what was to be done with two mem- bers of the association, Michael Cregan and William L. Lawrence, who, by traudulent and forged creden- Uals, obtained seats at the Saratoga Convention as from the Sixteenth district association, aud thus de- frauded the real delegates, Colonel Beeny and Mr. Raymond, out of ther rigit to be present ut the de- liberations of the Convention, A resolution Was proposed to the effect that, as the district was defrauded out of its right of represent on at the Convention by Messrs. Cregan and Tence, a cominittee should be appointed to investt- gate the fraud and punish the perpetrators. An amendment was proposed that Messrs. Cregan and Lawrence should be inunediately and ignomint- ously expelled. Colonel Beeny discountenanced the expulsion o any members from tne association. He velleved their party needed a thorough union and harmoni-f ous Co-operation at the present time. They nad now to fight Tammany Hall, and not to waste their time in personal squabbitng and in- ternal bickertngs. After some further dis- cussion, in which Mr, Jenny, Mr. Raymond, Colonel Beeny and Mr. Koch joined, the resolution was car- ried, and @ committee, Sonnating ot Messrs. Jenny, S.J. Glassey and Henry J. Scudder, was appointed to investigate the matter after the cainpuign, The New Tammany Democratic Reform As- sociation.

The play was | dramatization of Wilkie Coltins’ “Man aud Wife)? by Mr. Daly, which waw placed on the atage with aid We artistic taste and are that charavterzé this ‘ shouse. The novel, weil Known to many of our feaders, is closely followed im the play and all ite nt points brought out tu strong retief. ‘The: was ax follows:—Qeottrey Delamayn, the Man,” Mr, ilarkins; Aroid Brinkworth, iis inend, Mr, Polk: Sir Patrick Lundie, Mr. Lewis; Bishopriges, ‘with one eve moist and merry,” Mr. Davidge;.

Her appearauce ts exceedingly engi ig, her action evinces = Jal experience on the stage, aod she invested the character with rare “del. cacy, tenderness, dignity and all the varied qualities it demanded. It was a severe test, bot she bravely underwent it, and succeeded. Miss Newton and Miss Linda Dietz were admirable in their respective roles, the one bearing out the romise she gave as Louise in “Frou-Frou,” and the jatier tulfiiling the anticipations of those who saw r her as Georgette in “beruande.” Miss Davenport is always charming in the coquettish parts that seem expressly designed for her, and Mra, Gilbert made the most of her’ smail part. Mr Harkins played the heartless cynic to per- fection, Mr. Polk Was uninteresting and weak as “the friend.” Mr. Lewis invested tha courtly old gentleman with his well known fint-h, humor,and grace, and Mr. Davioge looked and acted the very personification of seal cunniog and a sumed ignorance. ‘fhe scene mi the third a Tag Lawn at Swanhaven,” was the tues specimen of art that ever came from Roberts’ hands, and that we have seen ou the metropolitau stage. The piece needs considerable pruning to make it run sinoothly.

Srapr THeaTRE.—‘ll Trovatore’ waa the opera of last evening at this theatre. The attendance waa extremely large and the frequent outbursts of applause marked the high appreciation in which the leading singer, Mile. Louise Lichtmay, was aeld by the audicpee. It would be perilous to say that nO eXaggeration distinguished tue warm feeung of admiration which Mile. Lichtmay created, be- cause that her voice and style of acting, though not in the exact alignment of tne Italian mode, were, nevertheless, exceedingly correct and pleasing for # German performance. Mile. Friederict took the part of Azucena, aud acquitted herset very well. Herr Bierling was the Count ae Luna, and both acted and sang his part with rare spirit and tinish. Manrico was personated by Herr Manrico, and Fernaude by Herr Fores, The per- formauce was a complete success, judging from the lively satsfaction shown by the audience, and it t# seldom the Stadt theatre held so large, respectaute and appreciauve an audience.
