The raising of the French blockade in the North and Baltic Seas bas been officially announced to the Spanish government. Sefior Olozaga yesterday breakfasted with General Prim and Marshal Serrano.

Some few days ago I called attention in my de- Spatches to a curtous blunder in the act of the last Congress reorganizing the Marine Hospital service and providing for the relief of sick and disabled seamen. The act fn question provided that on and attex the ist of Auguat past the tax per month on ‘GVery seaman, to be collected from the masters owners of vessels of the Uptted States, should forty instead gf {yrenty dents, a8 formerly. When | the act went into operation the Collectors of Cus- toms at the several ports exacted the tax from all United States vessels, without regard to the time Delos the in took adel “Whi Wes “abe jected to by shipowners and masters, but paid under protest, as there was no other mode pos- sible that coula be pursued under the circumstances, The New York merchants tn particular are clamor- Ous about the exaction, which they regard as highly unfair and unjust, and they are very desirous to have a decision from the government authorities. ‘The question was referred some time since to Attor- ney General Akerman, but he has not yet given any opinion, and the New York people nave again ad- dreased communications asking for a speedy result. Acting Attorney General Richardson has replied to these latest appeals that he can dd nothing in the betent to decide it, and as he is not able to be here through sickness the case must wait, The Gas Tax Still in Force. The tax on illuminating gas, enforced by the act of June 30, 1864, and subsequently amended, fs still in force. This is a specitic tax, according to the gen- eral averages of the monthly product for the year preceding, the return to be made as required by law. The act of July 14, 1870, provided for the re- Peal of the several taxes on sales imposed, except such as are paid Ly stumps and the taxes on sales of leaf tobacco, manufoctured tobacco, snuff, cigars, foreign and domestic distilled spirits and wines af- ter the 1st proximo, By neither of these acts was the tax repeated on tluminating gas. All gas com. panies are still required to make monthly returns and pay tax on their products as before, Notwith- standing that the law makes no exception there 1s scarcely a day that the Revenue. Bureau 1s not in receipt of letters asking if tne entire tax has not been repealed. Decrease of Outstanding Currency. The amount of United States currency outstanding on June 20, 1869, was $291,649,658, while on June 30, this year, it was $378,435,062, being a decrease of $13,214,494, Commissions Signed by the President. ‘The Pr@ident has signed commissions of the fol- lowing officers appointed since the adjournment of Congress:— Andrew Washburn, of Virginia, to be pension agent at Richmond, Va.; Robert A.

Important Judicial Decision—Railroad Divi- dends Not ject to Internal Revenue Taxation. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19, 1870. The following important revenue decision, in re- gard tu railroad taxes, was gtven to-day tn the United States Circuit Court by Judge Strong, in the case of the Philadelphia and Reading Ratlroad Company vs. Barnes, Collector of the Internal Revenue. Judge Strong read an elaborate o; inion, deciding that as the law stood before the passage of the act of the 14th of July, 1870, the dividends and interests paid by railroad companies on and after January 1, 1870, were not liabie to an interhal revenue tax, and that the act of July 14, 1870, could not be epted as a legislative exposition of the meaning of the former law, So far as it applied to the preseni case.

A formal application was yesterday filed with the Attorney Genera) of this State, requesting nim to commence proceedings for the suspension and re- moval of the presideatof the New York Central Raliroad Company. ‘The grounds on which the application for removal is based are that the president of the New York Cen- tral is Hiegully mjuribg the stockholders by making low rates of fares and freights, in order to compel the Erie managers, who, of course, have to make similar rates, to withdraw the personal clalins a him in the settlement of the five mifition suit.

A Fatal Family Feud « enewed—Thomas Donohue Shot Last Night—John Scannell Supposed to be the Assassin—A Wig, Coat and Hat Left Behind—The oa ger enced! one OST ins “The long slumbering feud between the two cele- brated repeating families of Donohue and Scannell, of the Elghteeath ward, that resulted, on the 3d oy December last, in the fatal shooting of EX-ALDERMAN FLORENOR SCANNELL, has scarcely passed from the lips of the public ere Qnopher gasassination 13 recorded which 1s Ikely to revive thé recollections df oné that was for weeks the “town talk’ im polititical and rowdy circies. Last evening antes THOMAS DONOHUE, Uquor dealer on the corner of Twenty-third street and Second avenue, who figared in the shooting of the Alderman, while walking down Third avenue, near Seventeenth street, was approached from in front by a disguised assassin and shot im the left breast, it is believed fatally. Before proceeding to give the details of this last tragedy A BRIEF RECAPITULATION of the case of last year may not be out of place. During the campaign of 1869 the contest in the ward was between Nesbitt and Florence Scannell, ‘who were rival candidates for alderman, Donohue, who was @ warm supporter of Nesbitt, made his saloon @ popular headquarters for that faction, On the 8d December, tn the afternoon, Florence and and John Scannell and several of their adherents entered Donohue's saloon, in the rear of which were several of Nesbett’s supporters, They com- Menced an atiack upon the party, and clubs and pistols were freely used. There Florence Scannel rectived the wound, from which he died this summer after lingering in Bellevue Hospital. While im hospital Scannel was elected over Nesbett. In his ante-mortem statement Scan- nell swore that the wound was inflicted by Dono- hue, who surrendered himself and gave Charles Connell and Owen Murphy as his bail in ten thou- sand dollars, Donohve has been at liberty ever since; but it is certain the fire of the old feud smouldered in the breast of John Scannell, only to break out afresh at a later period, for, if reports be true, he has oiten threatened to avenge his brother’s death. THE ASSASSIN ATION At fifty minutes after eleven, while Donohue was walking past the southwest corner of Seventeenth street and Third avenue between his two cousins (Donohue), the tea merchants, corner of Seven- teenth street and Third avenue, a man disguised in hat and brown wig, suddenly confronted him, and placing @ small sized ay fol close to bis left breast discharged it, turned and fled.

He was followed some distance into Irving plave, but eluded his pur-, suers and made good his escape. DONOHUR’S MOVEMENTS Donohue retained bis perpendicular, and, thinking the wound slight, walked, supported by his cousin, to his home av 343 East Eighteenth street, where Dr. Kimbark was quickly tn attendance. The ball was found to have perceaees the lungs, inflicting a wound that it is believed will prove fatal. HIS STATEMENT. Sergeant Lowrie, after securing the articles left behind by the assassip, questioned Douoaue as to what he kuew of the shooting. He declared to the Sergeant most emphatically that in tne features of the assassin he distinctly recognized those of John Scannell, brother of the murdered Alderman. Captain Cameron and a large force of police at once scoured tae cityin search of Scannell, but failed to unearth him. Captain Cameron searched the house of his mother, as well as the Glen- heim House, corner of Twenty-fourth street and = Third avenue, bunt fatied to dna any clue to his whereabouts. HE IS SAID TO BE OUT OF THE CITY. At the hote! the Captain was informed that Scan- nell has been at Topacque, on the Harlem Raliroad, for several weeks, and has not been in the city. If ; Donohue s statement as to the author of the { 8 is true it ts probable Scannell has disguised himself nm the wig hat and coat, and en- tered the city stealuitly for the purpose of avoiding suspicion, and after the commission of the deed has left in a carriage for the conntry.

To say that Steinway Hall was crowded last night would but faintly éxpreas the number of the music lovers that listened to the Swedish Nightingale within its walls, The wealth and fashion of the city, the belles of thé watering places, the loungers of the clubs, Utteratours, musical and dra- matic artists, theatrical managers, clergymen and professionals of every possible descrip. tion were Present, Even the upper gallery, Searcely éver' tised before, shone with full tollets and kid gloves, and the lights fell on diamonds and gleaming tresses from the stage to the Fourteenth atreet door. Never before since it” was built did Steinway Hall present such a brilliant and in- apiring sight. It was a critical audience withal, not one easily lod away by the gittter of any name, bat prepared to judge for itself, as might he ex- pected from the créme de la créme of America’s metropolis. Each remembered that the greatest lyrio artists that the world ever heard sang in this city, and was prepared to render a fair, impartial verdict on the Nightingale and her assistants. Her triumph was, then, one that she might well be proud of; one that added fresh lustre to her fame and a new chaplet of laurels to her genius. Mile. Nilsson sang “Angels Bright and Fair.” from. Handel's “Theodora; the celebrated mad scene from “Hamlet” and the cavatina “Ah ! fors e lul,’” from “Traviata.” When she first made her appear- ance she received such an enthusiastic reception as rarely‘alls to the lot of any artist. and fowers, from the huge pyramid down to the tiny nosegay, were sliowered on the stage. Her dress was of white corded silk, very rich and elegant, and well adapted to her beautiful, expressive, childlike face and tall, graceful form. The diamonds which gleamed in her fair hair and nestied around her swanlike neck lent lustre to her sparkling blue eyes, her carrlage showed the most complete self- possession and her whole soul seemed to be wrapped up in the music she interpreted. The quality of her voice 1s sq different from that of the ftallan and English artists we have been so long accustomed to that when the first notes of the simple, childlike little alr of Handel fell on the ear a feeling of won- der at frst pervaded the audience. Tho quality of the voice 1s extraordinarily clear it has none of the vo- roundness of the Italian school, Juptuous and tenderness. This selection from Hande} was so simpie and touching that it requires a world of sow and feeling to give it the required wterpretation. By her artless, unaffected rendering of it Nilsson won at once, not the expressed applause, but what was a higher compliment, the deep attention and sympathy of her hearers. The mad scene in “Ham- let,” where the unhappy uphelia bids farewell to the gay court of Denmark, was sung and acted with such mingled abandon, childish glee and sad feeling that the entire audience broke forth im an avalanche of applause. But the crowning feature was the exquisite morceau, “Ah, fors ¢ lui,” the sweetest thing that ever Verdi wrote. It Is a love poem, illustrating the struggie between love and the consciousness of being unworthy of such a holy passion. The andantino, in which the desola- tion of the soul of the unhappy Camille 1s poured forth, was given with an intensity of passion and tenderness such as the operatic and concert Stage has long been stranger to, and the wild, reckless spirit which is conveyed in the capaletta, “Sempre Libera,” in which the Dame aux Cameltas awakens to a sense of her real position, was a Whirlwind of mingled despair and gayety. This cavatina 1s @ severe test for any artist. Carlotta Patti, with all her store of vocal pyrotechnics, fatled to touch the heart tn tt; other well-known prima | donne have skipped over its surface without sounding tts troubled depths, and it remained for Nilsson to bring out its beauties in their strongest light. There were some present at Steln- ‘way Hall last night, who, expecting some wondertul put upon the scent, and all avenues of escape were carefully watched, : THE TELI-TALE ARTICLES thrown away by the assassin are the only clues that, the police have to work upon, except the doubtful statemet of Donohue that Scannell was his assaiiant. | Tf Scannell is realy in the country and can establish an alabl, this case is likely to cause as much per- plexity to the detectives to fatuom as has the owuer- ship of the Nathan dog. EXTENSIVE FIRE IN BROOKLYN. Loss About Thirty Thousand Dollars. The alarm of fire was sounded last evening shortly before nine o’clock, and @ lurid glare of flame which made its appearance beneath the dark canopy of night immediately in the direction of Gowanus, tn- dicated the locality of the conflagration, towards which thousands of people bent their way. The Fire Department was prompt in reaching the scene of action, which proved to be on First street, near the Gowanus canal, South Brooklyn. Here it was found that the fire originated irom the explosion of an on stili in the petroleum § rectifying establishment of Grunt & Gregory, said still being unuer the supervision of a private watchman named Michael Kennedy at the time of the explosion. The burning oli spreading with great rapidity set fire to the wood work. and speedily enveloped the building in flames, defy:ng the attempts of the firemen to ex- tinguish the tire. A quarter of an hour subsequent to the first alarm (there were two alarms) there could not have been less than 20,000 spectators assembled at the fire. Captains Ferry, Cassidy and McLaughlin, of the Third, Fourth and Eiguth pre- cinets reapectiv and the Central Onice squad were on the ground ana rendered eMcieut service in keeping order among the crowd. ‘the losses are as foliows:—Messrs. Gruni & Gre- gory, whose oilice is at No. 125 Maiden lane, New York, is estimated at $20,000 upon stock and’ fix- tures; on butiding from $3,000 to $5,000.

Five Marshal Keady was promptly on the ground aud ascertained the origin of the conflagration, FIRE AT NEWBURG, The Powelton House at Newburg Destroyed oy Fire—Loss $55,000. At noon on Monday fire was discovered in the roof of the Poweiton mer resort aout one mile north of Newburg. The alarm was given, aud the firemen of the nelghbor- ing city went to the rescue, but on account of the scarcity of water they were unable to save the build. ing, which was lotaily destroyed. In the house, when the alarm was given, were thirty guests, and a scene of the greatest contusion at once ensued. One lady fainted and had to be carried out of the bulld- ing. Two ladies, in the hurry of escaping, lost thetr satcheis containing diamond and other jewelry, vained at about g00. The Powelton cun- sisted of main building, with north and soutn wings, and was about 200 feet in length. ‘The fire commenced in te south wing, and was at one tume in the aliernoon checked by the firemen, but untuckily the supply of water (wich was drawn from wells and cisterus) gave out, and nothing could be done further to slay the progress of the names. Tue buildi was owned by Mrs. Frances BE. L. Ramsdell, wife of Homer Ramsdell. Her loss is es- timated at $50,000, Which was partially insured as follow: Merchants’, New York...... $5,000 Merchants’, Providence, R. 1 Manhattan. North British an Imperial........

They were those who cannot distin- guish between true art and huwbug—between the genius of music ana vocatization of the mitratileuse order, Nilsson never resorts to inartistic tricks to gain applause, Her style is finished and yet simple. What | surprised us most was t | in her voice, She ravel e breadth of tone apparent displayed it, however, to its fall extent, as have heard from other artists, but kept it under admirable conirol. This apparent self-abnegation ts true proofof art. We can say of Christne Nilson, as was sald of Jenny Lind, whomshe resembles much in her voice and style, that we have heard an ariist who makes a conscience of her art. Miss Annie Louse Cary, a contralto from the Royal Italian opera, London, sang the well known “Ah! quel glorno,”’ from “Semiramide.” Her voice is of the Italian order, full, rich and evenly balanced, and trained to the highest degree. She responded to an encore with a beautiful little berceuse, or Cra- dle Song, which she sung with much expression and tenderness, She is one of the most valuable em- bers of the Nilsson troupe. Brignolt was in excellent voice, and did full jus. tice to the charming romanza “La Spia,” by Arditi. ‘The introduction was somewhat marred by a mis- understanding on the part of the orchestra. No ( tenor has acquired such @ strong hold of the aifec- ; tions of the public as Brignoli, and his reception last night evidens bis popularity. Verger, a French baritone, made a most success- ful débit in the fine romance “Non een lei,” from “Un Ballo en Maschera.”” The three votces—con- tralto, tenor and baritone—were heard to rare ad- vantage in the touching “Gratias Agius,” from Kossini’s “Messe Solennetie, The last time we heard this trio the voices were by no means well balanced, and both at the Academy and at j St. Stephen's church it was fairly butch ered. ‘The tones of the volces of Miss Cary, Brignoli and Verger biended admirably, and were tinged with 4 devotional feciing that evidenced a deep appreciauon of the spirit of the sublime | words, ‘The quartet from “Martha” (the spinning | wheel) Was too light ana tifing to be placed on such a programme, and should be left. to the opera to which it belongs.

Nilsson sang, An encore, was a simple little Swedish atr, which she rendered in such a delighttal manner that alter the concert a number of her countrymen asssembled outside Steinway Wall at the stage entrance and on her appearance greeted her with deafening applause. They then unhar- nessed (he horses trom her carriage and drew her to her hotel, accompanied by a crowd of enthu- siastic spectators, The next concert takes place om Wednesday night. ¢. —~ Marie Seebach. ‘The advent of this distinguished artist has caused quite acommotion in theatrical circles. Her first appearance at the Fourteenth street theatre ts | awaited with general interest, and her reception will, doubtless, favorably compare with that of the other brijliant stars that occasionally afford such general satisfaction. Mme. Seebach has now thor- ougply recovered from the fatigue incident to h ocean voyage, which, by the way, was rendered not @ little “exciting owing to the alarm of fire on | board. The shock of such an announcement appears: to have had but little effect upon her great ner- vous system, and the trip across the ovean has rather added to her wonted vigor.

During the absence of the committee a recess was ordered, and the delegates amused themselves by canvassing the attempts of JOHN MORRISSEY’S RAG-TAG REFORMBRS and the aspect of political affairs generally. The idea seemed to be pretty well entertained that the Morrissey-O’Brien democracy w@uld not attempt to rub any county ticket; that before election day arrives they will have ceased to exist; that they may work in with the republicans tn certain of the slums of the city to defeat the Tammany nominees, but beyond that they will amount to nothing. It was concluded, however, that the Morrissey-O’ Brien gang would be so pouipielety’ routed if they should Diake any attempt at fight as to astonish them more than did the “Waterloo” at Albany last winter.

Heavy Swiadling by Means of Worthless Paper=Two Basking Houses Doue Out of $30,000.

Thougl the occurrence Uself was neither novel nor interestmg in its character and detatis, yet asa bit of exciting news it was rather welcome, as it varied (the monotony of . the stroct and furnished a subject for more animated conversa- tion. It was nothing else than a fraudulent stock transaction based in worthless paper or checks, a thing that has su often occurred in thls monetary centre, that to common seuse people it looks almost ike a wonder that shrewd business men and ex pert- enced tluancers could at this late day and after so many costly lesyons be still “iuken‘in and done for” by the same stale old tricks. THE PACTS. But littie that ts trustworthy could be obtained last night of the facts of this last case of Wall street financiering, It seems that a certain J.

He, as a inatter of course, also kept a bank avcount aud he had a box im the Post Ofice, but so iew letters were addressed to him there that his name was hardiy known to the clerks, Still, he was doing a siight business with several well Known (rms, among others with Messrs.

This new “house” always referred for ic “sianding’ to J. HH.

H.
