Mosquera is on bis way back to Colombia after a nymber of years of exile in Peru. This is oértainly bad for Colombia, for Mosquera is sure to disturb the peace and create revolution within a very short period after his return, He cannot keep quiet even at his advanced age; he-must be at war with some one; if not with foreigners he must stir up strife among his own people, and bis aim now doubtless is to obtain once more supreme power in Colombia, no matter how much the country and its inhabitants may suffer by his doing so. The President of Ecuador notified him that if while en route from Pera to Panama he ventured to land on the shores of the country he governed he would be arrested and shot. That the notice reached him in time te prevent his doing so is probably very unfortunate for the Colombians, for the authorities of Ecuador would possibly have done that which they will have to do sooner or later, unless the old warhorse is carried off by disease. He cannot longer be permitted to keep his country in a state of an- archy and revolution.

General Dix will preside, and apeeches will be \made by Henry Ward Beecher, Dr. Bellews, William C. Bryant and others. We hope there will be among the audience many liberal Cath- plic Churchmen, who, remembering that St. Peter, the original Pontiff, had no temporal powers whatever, and was rebuked by his Lord on the only occasion when he ever took up the sword, will recognize the fact that Pope Pius is better without his temporalities, and that the Church is greater without the State. Except for the implied dethronement of the Pope the Catholics of our country and all over the world favor the recognition of Italian unity, and when they take into consideration the fact that the men who entered Rome under ‘the banner of united Italy are as firm Catholics ‘as any of them, and doubtless have more thor- oughly considered this very question, thoy will sec that the trouble is not so much a reli- gious one as it is a political one—one of the ‘humerous offshoots of that innate love of politi- cal liberty which, after many long years of stifling oppression, has burst forth like hot Java upon every volcanic acre of Europe. Charity in New York d the Lack of ee amg TEU Charity. _ Mayor Hall aptly termed New York the City of Charities, for in truth we have a great number of noble charitable insti- tutions, and our citizens are in the habit of subscribing most liberally to charitable ob- jects. Having said this, however, we are bound to say also that there is a great deal of mere ostentatious charity, and not so much of that which Christ described when he said, “Let not your right hand know what your left hand doeth.” Our rich people never fail to give largely when they can glorify themselves by so doing or as a testimonial to some promi- nent man who can benefit them, buf they are not so réady to give when their gifts are not likely to be known. Take, for example, the results of the fair that has been held in this elty for the orphans of the soldiers and satlors who fell in the war. After all the urgent ap- peals that were made through the press and otherwise for these motherless and fatherless children—for the children of those who died for their country—only a few thousand dollars, not ten thousand, probably, was realized. The fair was kept open for weeks and many dona- tions were made, yet such was the poor return. No commentary is needed. This fact speaks for itself, Tue Sr. Dosinco Question.—The Detroit Post, administration organ, thinks Horace Greeley (pale white), Frederick Douglass (colored) and Caleb Cushing (very white) would make an able commission for the Pre- sident to appoint on the St. Domingo investi- gation. In regard to Judge Cushing the Post remarks: Mr. Cushing possesses qrolpetieg knowledge. Ho sa shrewd, keen man; is master of the Spanish tongue, has diplomatic end legal experience and Will be a valuable meinber of the commission. Ten years ago, however, ho wonld have resented being pent on an errand with a “nigger.” He is said to be committed to the scheme of annexation; if co his views of the subject will naturally be somewhat colored by his prejudgment. The idea that Caleb Cushing should have his views ‘“‘colored” on this or any other national subject is immaterial at this day. The colored question being settled by the fifteenth amendment, Judge Cushing has a per- fect right to go to St. Domingo with the colored Fred Douglass or any other man if he chooses, and has not the fear of another St. Domingo massacre before his eyes, Governor Ranpot'n’s Mezssacr to the New Jersey Legislature presents a very fair exhibit for our cosey little neighbor in all re- spects. Much as we have been in the habit of decrying the railroad corporations within her limits, it seems they pay into her treasury eeveral very nice little totals, and with her other sources of revenue the State seems to have carried on a very secure and unpre- tending business of government, by which she has netted during the year about séventy thou- sand dollars. As to othor matters, schools, militia, prisons, &c., New Jersey stands well up inthe class of seaboard States. On the subject of negro suffrage Governor Randolph acknowledges the expediency of nmting the est of a bad democratic situation, and turaing the colored vote to democratic uses, Ex-Governor Jewell, ef Connecticut, is sojourning for a few days at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

James Kelly, who for five years under the Lincoln administration heid the office ot Postmaster in this city, died at six o'clock last evening at his residence, 19 Irving place, Since Mr, Kelly's retirement from public life, which dated from the time of his leaving the Post OMice, his health was gradually failing. On ‘Thursday evening last he was suddenly seized with ®& paraiyiic stroke, which was the immediate cause of bis death. Deceased was son of an old merchant of this city, and at an early age entered into the political arena, speedily becoming a promi- nent and promising politician of the Second ward, iu which he resided. He was soon elected a mem- ber of the Common Council, and, after serving long time in both boards, was, in 1847, elected Prest- dent of the Board of Aldermen. In politics Mr. Kelly nad been an ola line Henry oy whig, and subsequently became a republican ef the Sewara- Weed branch, He was appointed Postmaster on Lincoin’s clection to the Presidency, and was reap} pointed on his re-election in 1864, During the five years deceased held the office of Postmaster he gained the respect of the mercantile community by the fairness and courteous attention to the public which characterized ‘his administration, Besides the political positions held by deceased he also filled several important trusts in the intetest of the people, such as the presidency of tne Stuyvesant In- surance Company, & directorship in the Emigrant Savings Bank and a place at the Board of Emigra- ton Commissioners. His deat was without pain, occurring as If be were sleeping. Deceased wad fifty-nine years of age. The day has not yet been fixed for the funeral, which will take place from oue of the Catholic churches in the city. ANOTBER BLAST EXPLOSION. Miraculous Escape of an Infast—No Lives Lost and Little Damage to Property. One more of the now frequent premature blast ex- Plosions occurred late last evening on Third avenue, between 103d and 104th streets. For some time past men have been engaged at this point blasting rocks on several vacant lots. Ata quarter past five last ovening o heavy biast was put in, wich, exploding, threw the fragments of rock in every direction. For a time tbe people in the vicinity became almost frantic, rushing about and filing the air with their cries, Tne horrors of the recent explosion at Carmansyiie. easy to have impressed them with the idea that ath it cer- tainly be the result of all such accidents, d the severity of the shock and @he scene presented by the falling fragments and the débris scattered around served to heighten the excitement apd the uncertainty of those who already feared that their relatives were dead. GOING INTO THE LIQUOR BUSINESS. Aptece of rock weighing about eighteen pounds passed through the roof of a room in the rear of a Nquor store and dwelling occupied by Patrick Barret, in Third avenue, between 103d-and 104th sreets, and fell on & bed_where'a littie child was at the time sleepimg. Fortunately the little one was unijarmed, the stone passing over her. Another large rock passed through the roef of that part of the building used as a liquer store, and, breaking;throngh the fleor, strack a barrel of ale in the cellar, bursting the head and letting ita contents out upot the floor. It also broke a mirror, several bottics of wine and 8 quaatity of glassware, Arock of considerable size broke thro the roof and the ceiling of # chamber, without doing futther damage.

Lonpon, Jan. 10, 1871, Thave just received a special telegram letter, ad- Greased to the Hera, from Madrid, which reports the installation of King Amadeus as Sovoreign of Spain, The communication 1s important and of very eonsiderable interest in its contents. I pro- coed ta transmit if to Now York in exlenso, by special cable telegram, as follows:— SWEARING TEE KING. Tho Herat special writer, dating in Madrid on thé 8d of January, says:—The work of the Septem. ber revolution has been at length crowned. Whether it bas been accomplished fittingly, justly, and for the ultimate benefit of the country and tts people, time and time alone will show, ISABELLA’S THRONE NOT FILLED CORPOREALLY. His Majesty King Amadeus the First of Spain took the solemn oath of Mdelity to the constitution on as- suming completely the royal power and functions to-day. He was sworn in in the presence of the sov- ereign Parliamentary representatives of the nation, and, speaking metaphorically, falls thus inte the throne seat of the uncrowned and deposed Queen Isabella, of “blessed memory,” as it ap- pears on the record of her house, Practi- cally the seat, as it was gauged for het Majesty can accommodate three or four hundred weight of our poor humanity tn tne flesh, so that Amadeus enjoyed that grand desideratum which 1s 80 much needed by travellers in the New York street railroad cars—“plenty of room.” Isabella’s throne would hold indeed three such personages as the slim scion of Savoy without crowding tt in the least, at one and che same moment, THE DAY OF GEREMONIAL. Yesterday was ushered in with adull morning and heavy weather. The Madrid sky was fringed with leaden colored clouds. Snow commenced to fall thickly about midnight, and continuea to come down heavily as the day opened and advanced. The condition of the weather was almost providen- tial for the government, as it had two very critical events to deal with—the search for Brim’s assassins and spe reception of a king. His Majesty entered the Cortes hali during the pelting of the snow storm and from streets covered ankle deep with a mixture of snow and mud, CITIZEN HONORS, The street display was censequently limited, Here and there, at lengthy Intervals apart, I could see draperies of red and yellow colors mingled, sus- pended from the balconies of the houses and on the public office buildings. MILITARY PARADE. The trodps of the garrison were tarned out in force. Soldiers in double file lined the streets through which the royal cortege passed in the course of march, Tue afferent corps of the Volunteers of Liberty were marshalled clad in their picturesque uniforms trimmed with green. This organization was In complete force, with the exception of the few battalions which had just been disarmed—as I have already reported—for displaying symptoms of political agitation after Prim's death and for the un- qualified indisposition to parade in honor of the King. POPULAR APATHY. A few days since and there were very few people to be seen in the streets at any one particular hour. ‘The majority of the inhabitants keep, indeed, under a sort of temporary cover in their dwellings even yet. AT THE CORTES HALL, ~* There was no attempt to decorate the Palace pailding. The Cortes House or Legislative Hall was temporarily adorned. The portico was arched over with evergreens, a3 was also a portion of the way just In front of it, so as to show that the people were ready to receive and shelter the monarch. There was nothing else in the way of outside public display, THE “INS! AND “OUTS.” Inside the Cortes hall, once within its ample door, there was a dense throng of Deputies and eflicers. The guests of the nation were trailed in line from the door and forced to wait for aa hour or two past the appointed time, very uncomfortably. They em- ployed themselves as best they could. Occasionally they were able to throw a glance into the grand saton and behold the members in conference, and also see the crowd of notables and the brilliant ani- forms-of the great officers of State and representa- tives of the foreign governments. “HATS OFF” AND ON. Maarid generally appeared uncovered, or with “hats off,” out of respect to the coming King. A very sociable group of citizens, which I noticed par- ticularly, kept their hats on, as did the greater num. ber of the entire outside assemblage. LRGISLATOBS AND OFFICLALS. The patliamentary Deputies in Cortes were dressed in suite of plain black clothing, swallow- talled coats and black necktles, ‘There was only one single republican mentber present in the House when [ arrived, Seftor Garoia Ralz, editor ef the Madrid Puedla, AN AMERICAN SURVBY, Itook a strollin the horse-skoe shaped hail of.

VIEWS OF THE PAST. JANUARY 11 1870—OMice of the Marsetilais: Academy this year, but none deserve mention as being more brilliant or successfal than this. The object for which the bajl was gotten up was to assist in providing funds for the mainte- nance and comfort of those whose reasons have been dethronea by circumstances over which no human power has any control, and to insure due care and attention to many who leave their own thresholds tn consequence of that direful calamity, “a mind diseased.” It was pleasant to contemplate that, while the “hop’’ last night af- forded so much pleasure aad almost enviable excite- ment to those present, it contributed, and that Rochefort's news.
