As the Prussian soldiers are to leave Paris this morning the city newspapers commence PRESS—EDITORIAL to reappear in regular issue. The Ditats says:—In spite of the patriot- ism of the people Alsace, Lorraine, Metz and Lapucelle pass under the control of Germany. France cannot continue the war. The future does noi belong to us, but succeeding gene- ratiqns will take vengeance for our alflliction. We can only say three words. “Silence” and *patience” are two; the other we dare not Pronounce. We have no right, however, to decide for future generations. The people can then act freely, and decide before they act and how they will act. The writer in the Dédats then goes on to Blame the Parisians as being “‘always fickle and feminine and in love with display and sight-seeing. They ought not, however, to gaze on the Prussians.” & LADY'S OPINION OF THE GERMAN SOLDIERS. A lady acquaintance of mine declares that the German soldiers who are quartered in the vity are very clean and neat in their uniform and personal make-up, but awkard. They are, however, vastly superior to the Franch, and ‘handsomer. ‘ They have already been first rate customers to the French shopkeepers for wines and sigars. THE PRUSSIAN WOUNDED.

The Last Hope Dissipated by Governor Hoff- mans Decision—His Preparation for Death— He Received the Last Intelligence with Caimness and Now Dreams Only of Heaven. Since the late decision of the Supreme Court Gene- ral ferm refusing to order a new trial in the case of the negro John Thomas, convicted in the Oyer and Terminer of murdering Walter Johnson, another negro, on the 30th of lastjSeptember, his counsel, Mr, John A. Goodlett, has left no stone unturned to save the condemned man from the gallows. His hope was to bring the matter before the Court of Appeals, and with this view he at once addressed a letter to Governor Hoffman asking ao further respite, He asa ground of delay that the question whether simple allegation of malice was suftictent in a charge of murder Was an entirely new one, a8 called out by the trial of Thomas, and ought to gorbefore the Court of Appeals. A second ground tor urging the respite was that the Supreme Court General Term upon the writ of error decided that it had no right to review the evidence. A third and final ground was that proper time might be given to the Minister of Hayti, of which Thomas is @ subject, to enable him to lay the facts before Seo- retary Fish. To this letter the following response was received yesterday: — ALBANY, March 3, 1871. Joun A.

When the inteiligence was conveyed to him at the Tombs he seemed perfectly indifferent upon the mat- ter, and in reply to some questions stated that it Was little more than he expected, “I thank God tnat Lfeel fully prepared to meet Him,’ said Thomas, “but I do not desire to say anything about che AWFUL AFFAIR FOR WHICH I AM CONDEMNED. I feel that everything I say, apart from my con- Versation with my confessor, upsets my mind, causes my soul to be lowered from its happy state and makes gny heart cowardly. I want to watch and pray and sing, but 1 want tobe done with the things of this world, Let me rise up; let me go to the heaven of heavens; pass through the region of the starry firmament like a sigh and enter into all the joys that are there before me; I cannot speak upon anything else than the world to come.’ At four o’clock Sheriff Brennan arrived av the Tombs apd gave strict instructions to his deputies that no strangers were to be allowed to visit Thomas in his ceil; that the culprit had made a re- quest to be left alone, as he had been annoyed by some religteux who had been talking to him about hus soul’s concerns. Thomas is to have every thing he desires in the way Of food, &c., but no one, report- ers included, can see him without a special permit from the Sheriff, Everything that could be done for him has peen done, but it can easily be seen there is no hope of saving him from the gallows, and his execution will therefore take place on Friday next, 1 THE PACIFIC COAST. to the case of have given this regret to say to you New Arrangements of the Pacific Mail Stea ship Company—Violation of the Fifteenth Amendment=The Lower California Hum- bug.

THE PATERSON TRAGEDY, The Victim of the Assault Improving—Hopes of Her Recovery. Rosanna Demaud Murray, the victim of a most atrocious attack and attempted murder, on the part of her divorced husband, John Murray, at Paterson, on Friday morning (reported in yesterday's HERALD), Was still alive last @ight and apparently improving. She was taken to the St, Joseph’s Hospital on Fri aay evening, and, under the care of the good Sisters, her condition has taken such a favorable turn that the surgeons peer ean 4 fair chance of her re- covery, providing no unforeseen symptoms art: That Tholsnowa sull be alive, with her abel a GHASTLY WOUNDS, isa wender, and should she recover altogether It Would be an unusual restoration, No arteries hap- pened to be severed, 1t appears, which 1s very ae vorable to her recovery, although there is still great danger, Murray, THE PERPETRATOR OF THE DEED, Who is still safely in jail, begins to be less' rampant than at first, and appears considerably cooled down.

Exchange of Credentials—Arrangemont for Daily Conferences — Strict Secrecy to be Ob- served—The English Commissionors Disposed to be Exacting. WASHINGTON, March 4, 1871, All the members of the Joint High Commision met at the State Department at half-past one o'clock this afternoon. The session continued until halfsast three, The British members were the first to leave the builamg, Ex-Senator Williams and Justice Nelson remained until four o’eléck., General Schenck and Judge Hoar left soon afterward. At this meeting the British and American Commtis- sioners exchanged credentials, After a protracted Preliminary conversation the meeting adjourned until Monday, when the regular business may be expested to commence, Dally sessions will be held, not only during next Week, but it 13 supposed until their labors are com- pleted, Both sides mutually agreed to observe the Strictest secrecy, and to avold conversing with any- body about their deliberations. However, the opine jon entertained by many persons here, that the work of the Commission will not be all smooth Sailing, seemed to receive some confirma. tion from the character of the first full preliminary meeting. The British Com- missioners came prepared to support with cumulative evidence thelr view of the questions to be discussed, and, from indications which I am not permitted to particularize, it is evident that the British members of this Joint High Commission, instead of intending to} suggest concessions which would be satisfactory to this country, are determined to ex- haust all efforts to extort such a settlement as will be a substantial triumph for Great Britain. It need not be wondered at, therefore, that this meeting was not so delightfully cordial and fraternal as their meetings around the dinner table have becn. the Important Amendments Proposed to Canadian Fisheries Bill. Orrawa, Ont., March 4, 1871, In the Dominion Senate last night Senator Mitchell moved for a second reading of the Fisheries bill, He explained that the measure was necessary to allow the officers engaged in seizing vessels to take them into other than the nearest port, Also that one-half of the value allowed to officers making such seizures be divided among the crew setzing the vessel, The service performed by the officers in this dett- cate duty was such as secures the entire satisfaction of the head of the department. The alterations were not very important, but were required. This Fishery act had been commented ow in high quar- ters in another country, where it had been described as one of novel and arbitrary legisiation. It was neither novel nor arbitrary, as similar laws existed in Engiand and in the United States, Senator St. Just thought the measure was preg- nant with danger and apt to lead to complications, Senator Mitchell said 1t was the duty of every Canadian patriot to strengthen the hands of our rep- resentatives on the High Commission at Washington and to particularly avoid the expression of opinions which might endanger our rights. He concluded by moving the House to go into Committee of the Whole on Tuesday next to consider this bill, AMUSEMENTS. FOURTH PHILHARMONIC ConcERT.—The announce- ment of the appearance of the representative prima donna of America, Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, at the fourth Philharmonic concert, drew to the academy of Music the most brilliant, elegant and crowded audience of the entire season. Whether in opera or concert this accomplished young artiste is ever the favorite of the public, and her beautiful, clear, sympathetic and thrilling volce and high cul- tivation in everything that relates to music, never fail to produce an effect such as few prime donne on either side of the Atlantic at present can obtain. She was in fine voice last evening and sang a scena and arta, by Rubinstein, called “E Dunque Ver?” (the first time, we believe, in this country) and the magnificent cavatina “Bel Raggio,” from Rossini’s “Semt- ramide.” Rubinstein’s work in construction, and especially in orchestral accompaniment, is exceed- ingly clever and worthy of attention; but its melody is by no means interesting, and a cold, severe char- acter pervades it. It is very difMcult and very trymg on a singer, but much of its difficulty was veiled in the ease and thorough ‘‘at homeness” which Miss Kellogg brings to every work she essays. This is one of her most admurable characteristics. She impresses the hearer with unbounded confidence in her ability to execute faithfully everything she sings, and there is an en- tire absence of the painful effort which mars some of the best attempts of many other vocalists. Butin Rossini’s florid and melodious music she produced an effect which rarely falls to the lot of a cantatrice at the Academy. Every note of those ornate passages Was sharp and well-defined, and er marvellous execution was never displayed to better advantage. Besides this, she tnfused into the cavatina a warmth and fervor peculiarly her own. <A thundering encore, lasting some minutes, was the consequence. She did not respond to the encore otherwise than by bowing her acknowledg- ments. The reason was as follows:— The directors of the Philharmonic Society posi- tively refused to accommodate her with a piano as Spcompantment, for some extraordinary reason known only to themselves. There was @ piano on the meas of the Academy at the time, and an able accompanist, Mr. Colby, in readiness, But the directors would ‘not allow Miss Kellogg to respond to the encore unless she sang again with orchestra. New, any musician knows that it is too much for a singer to attempt, after a trying aria with orchestral accompaniment, to sing again im- mediately with orchestra. We remember that when Mme. Gazzaniga, Mme. De Lagrange and other vo- calists sang at the Philharmonic concerts ana were encored they Were accommodated with a piano and accompanist. The action of the Philharmonic Seciet; last night, can only be Tegardead as an an estima- ble young artiste to the public who vociferously demanded the encore, This encore was of such an emphatic, enthustastic and flatter- ing Kind that it 1s but simple justice to Miss Kellogg to make the aoove explanation to exonerate her from any blame or want of appreciation of the high compliment paid her. The orchestral programme, as usual, consisted of only three works—Schumann’s Third Symphony in E flat major, opus 97; overture to ‘‘Medea,” Bargiel; and overture, *‘Aladdin,”’ Reinecke. The symphony 1s @& grand work and will ever be heard with pleasure. It represents the. best thoughts of Schumann and is worked up in masterly style. Neither of the overtures was worth a place on the pi ime. “Medea” is dull gloomy and monotonous, without a particle of power or grandeur to compensate for its colorless character. ‘‘Aladdin” is almost incomprehensibie in its labored, severe style, and there is hardly the semblance of @ connected idea in it. ‘rhe next concert takes place on April 1, and the programme will be Fourth Symphony, Beethoven, symphonic poem “Tasso,” Liszt and Gede's over: ture, “The Highlands.” We thought the Society had enough of symphonic poems and Liszt in sea- sons past, but the crazy Abbe turns up again. If they would consult the true interests of music, the Philharmonic Society would consign Liszt, Wagner, Bargiel, Reinecke, et td omne genus, to some lunatic asylum, where they might be appreciated. LavRA KEENE, With a full dramatic company, will open in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, to-morrow night, in “Hunted Down,” under the management of Cunningham & Dow. EUROPEAN MARKETS.

THE YACHT ENCHANTRESS, Her Intenéed Transatiautic Visit—Captain Lorillard’s Guests During the Cruise=Tho Ports She Will Stop At--Officers and Crew— Her Departure Deterred by the Weather Until To-Morrow. A goodly company of gentlemen, comprising the intimate, social and yachting friends of Mr. George L. Lorillard, assembled on the pier foot of Eighth Street, East river, yesterday morning, to bid that gentleman on voyage in his anticipated trip to ports in Spain, England and up the Mediterranean tn hts new and trim schooner-yacht Enchantress, Tho visit of 80 many carriages to the ola wharf, fillod with rusty bollers and broken-up machinery, directed the attention of the idle laborers 1 the neighbor- hood to the spot, and ina little while quite a crowd had gathered, and, upon learning of the tntended departure of Captata Lorillard with several friends, stood ready to add their hearty voices to the cheers from his acquatntances, The yacht was lying near the end of the pier, ana on board tae scene was one of remarkable activity, but not unusual on like occasions—that of a vessel preparing for sea, On deck were barrels, trunks, pyramids of cabbages and other esculents, while the crew, obeying various orders, were running to and fro to perform them, or going aloft and aiding in the sending down of the lighter spars, making a picture to the poor landsman one of utter and indescribabie confusion, Below there was quietness and comfort, a scene of contentment and ease. In the cabin, which is finished in tne most superb style and adorned on every side with pictures and articles of vertu, sat Messra, W. L. Kane, H. ©. Babcock and Carroll Livingston, tie tiree gentlemen who will be the companions of Captain Loriilard during the cruise of the Enchantress, Upon a casual inspection of the staterooms, upon inyitation, {t was observed that the quarters of the yachters will be of the most Pleasant character, everytuing so arranged that even in a trip around the world the lover of such amusement could not be satlated. Aft of the spa- cious stateroum of Captain Lorillard, on the star- board side of the yacht, and which 1s finished in blue, 1s the stateroom to be occupted by Mr. Live ingsten, while on the port side are the two state- rooms which in the pleasant days to come wili be tne retiring quarters 0: Messrs.

Captain Keuben King ts the sailing master; Willlam Myers, mate, and Joan Alina, boatswain, With these there are, of course, the cook and steward, The yacht 1s well furnished with boats, ‘The Enchantress will proceed to Madeira from New York, thence to Cowes, and from that port up the Mediterranean.

She ts being Entirely Rebuilt and Will Have au Extended Stern—Her Changes in Hull and Spars—New aud More Spacious Accom. modations. This famous schooner yacht, the admired of thou- Sands in scores of regattas ana races in the bay of New York and on Long Island Sound, {3 now on the stocks at the shipyard of Mr. Henry Steers, Green. point, L. I.,belag almost entirely rebuilt, and in many essenual particulars so changed that she will reappear ya the coming season as A NEW YACHT, when her old competitors will be compelled to give her repeated trials before they can determine her capabilfies. The Palmer has been a racing yacht for years and with much success; and during that period, Whenever brought to the starting stakeboat, With her spirited owner, Rutherfurd Stuyvesant, on board, 1t was certain that she would be judiciously handied, and few in the New York Yacht Club fleet HAD ANY RIGHT to beat her on points of salling. Last year she was slightly altered in some respects, which seems not to have been satisfactory, and now that so many new clippers are being or have been built, that are sald to possess the power of eclipsing all the old and once noble vessels, sue is undergoing a complete wansmogrification. A visit to where she is being repuilt will find that she has been stripped STEM TO STERN, inside and outside, masts removed, with nothing left but her origival frame and part of her old planking. Upou this the work 0! construction auew began, and will undoubtedly be carried on to completion very rigorously, She will be @iferent from the old boat in many essentlal particulars, chief of which that her stern HAS BERN BXTENDED s@ fect, and in shape, wien finished, will be sat+ stantially the ‘Steers’ stern.” Her lines have been altered materially, the excessive hollow at the bow being filled up as weil as the wider part of the hull, so changed as not to present a much fuller appear- ance than formeriy. Her fore foot has been cut away and her baliast so arranged that it will rest on the bottom of; keelson and top of keel, which tt is claimed 18 @ great improvement, LEAD BLOCKS have been substituted for stones. When finished, the yacht wil) draw eight feet of water, Changes will aiso be made in her masts, the new ones belag— Mainmast, 84 feet; toremast, 81 feet, and topmast, 41 feet in length. Her old spars were—Mainmast, $1 Teet; foremast, 79 feet. Her lighter spars will be the SAME LENGTHS as before:—Mainboom, 67 feet; foreboom, 33 feet 3 inches; maingat!, 33 feet; foregaiy, 30feet. Her bow- Sprit will be in one piece, 34 feet in length. Her ac- commodations will also be materially ditierent from the old ones, comfortable as they were, ‘The cabin and staterooms will, BE MUCH LARGER than before, and will be finished in hardwood and ba rented furnished. Wits the addition to her stern the Palmer will be 110 feet in length, and, with her other changed dl- mensions, Will make as big an aquatic giant as any of her sisters of our pleasure navy, and one that undoubtedly will prove a wicked antagonist. She will be launched about April 1, ANOTHER JERSIpY MYSTERY.. Disappearance of an Erie Railway Employe= His Companion Arrested on Suspicion—Ex- amination of the Prisoner. On the morning of Sunday, the 19th of last month, at one o'clock, two men, named Maurice Cumming, aged nineteen, and Patrick Hennessey, aged twenty-four, crossed the Pavonia ferry from Jersey City to Chambers street, New York, Both were more or less under the influence of lquor. Two hours afterward they returned to tne ferry house and sat down to walt for a boat, Altera few minutes Cumming went out and Hennessey followed him. An hour had scarcely elapsed when Hennessey returned alone with BLOOD MARKS all over his clothing, face and hands. About day+ light a newsboy, named William Garvin, found a soft felt hat on the acck of a barge at tne Erie pier, near the foot of Duane street. THE HAT WAS BLOODY and the deck of the barge where it was found was covered with blood. This hat has been identified by James Cumming as that worn by Maurice, his brother, who has been missing since that day. These are the facts and circumstances which pont to FOUL PLAY and on which Hennessey was arrested and commit- tea to jailin Jersey City. An examination took ace before City Judge Martindale yesterday morn- ing. The prisoner made a statement, m which he said that he and Cumming had been employed in the Erie machine shops. He recited the story of their travels on the morning in question, stating that they had oysters and drinks. Regarding the DISAPPEARANCE OF CUMMING, he sald that the latter slipped out of the ferry house several minutes before he missed him, and that he then wept to look for him. The blood-stained clothes he accounted tor in this manner:—In tie liquor store on the corner of Chambers street @ man asked me to drink, which I did, and we got into an argument about a fgnt be- tween “The Clipper’ and Jack Dav in| New Jersey. He said he was going to Jersey, and I pro- posed that we go on the same boat. We started out together, and when we got on the strect he struck me, knocked me down and beat me. 1 tried to get up, but he would not let me. I bled freely from the hose and mouth, and was senseless until he went away. I then got up and went home. While we were together Cummings talkea about losing his lace, aud fearing to meet his brother, who gol the job for him, and which he lost by drink. Police officer Russell, of New York, who was on duty at the corner of West and Chambers streets, corroborated the prisoner's statement in every particular. The newsboy Garvin was also on (he stand gad lestiged to the Aadiag of the hay w= cece.

Herald Special Report from Havana, Result of Major Aragon’s Mission to the Interior. Pacification of Several Important Districts. ‘The Pardons Under Captain General WValmaseda’s Orders. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Havana, Maroh 4, 1871, Major Aragon, aid-de-camp of Captain General Valmaseda, returned yesterday from the interior, having accomplished his mission in La Cienega, De Zapata and Enzenada de Cochinos districts.

Allow me to inform you that none of these state. ments are correct. Consu! Hal! never could have written to the Department of State that’l was con- nected with the diibustering expedition of the Comanditario, Consul Hall is now in this city, and will, no doubt, bear me out in my assertion. I was cer atnly arrested, about the t!me menttoned, by order of the government in Havana, and subjected to Investigation on suspicion of complicity with the Comanditario affair; but no suiticient grounds for an indictment were found and i was released. With regard to my recent voyage to Cuba, 30 far from the necessity of attending to business being a pretext, I specitically informed the Department of State, previous to my departure, that my object in going was to execute a deed of sale ef my sugar estate, “La Armonia,” which my wife, now on the island, had ‘eed to sell to Messrs.
