The question of the foreign policy of the Bation, its aim and intent under existing cir- Cumstances, formed the main topic which was presented by the Premier for debate and the grave consideration of his colieagues.

British Opinion of His Tariff Policy. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch to the Heraup has been received from our corre- spondent in the English capital :— Lonpon, Oot. 80, L871. President Thiers refuses to modify the alti- matum which he lately despatched to England in the name of the French republic, with regard to the renewal of the commercial treaty between France and Great Britain. British Opinion of jivrw Policy. The refusal of President Thiers to modify the treaty was expected in England. A teaaing London journal, writing in the early days of the present month (October) on the subject, made the folowing remarks:— That M, Thiers has been laboring for some months to induce the governments ot the States to which France 1s bound by commercial treaties to assent to modifications of those contracts that would enable him to seriously propose to the National Assembly a econ tari is @ matter of public notoriety. Pouyer-Quectier’s financial scheme confessed it, and Lord Granville practically announced at the dinner of the Cobden Club, in July, that the English vernment had been pressed by the French Am- assador to make concessions on the point. We knew, therefore, that M. Thiers and his Minister had endeavored to abuse the sympathy Kngland feels tor France in her present position to obtain from the English government modifications of the ‘treaty of 186) France has not asked and would not value, but to which M. ‘thiers, who only the other da, declared that protection is a passion with him, and M. Pouyer-Quertier, who became notorious by de- nouncing the lWnglisn treaty for the damage it did htm and all Frenclimen engaged in the same trade, naturaily attach very considerable importance. Bat we did not know the case of the French government. We assumed that it said honestly aud directly, ‘“We-want you to modily the treaty, and if you will not do it we will give notice to terminate it.’ Under the pecullar circumstances of France such a notice would not have been received in England with irritation or surprise, We should have sald, “it ts quite right that the french nation should have the opportunity of determining for itself, in the critical condition in which it is placed, its commercial and financial olicy.”? A twelve months’ notice would give English manufacturers and merchants sufficient nofice to save them from any considerable loss, If M. Thiers on psc power had taken that course no one would have complained; if after failing to obtain from the English gov- ernment the concessions he asked he had re- sorted to it we might have condemned such a sacrifice of the interests ot France to M. Thiers’ Grotchets and M. Pouyer-Quertier’s profits; but we must have allowed that they only exercised their right. M. Thiers, to describe his position as accu- rately a8 it!s possible, holds a power of attorne: from France to manage all her transactions witi foreign nations, and if in “denouncing” the treaty he had consuited his own views instead of the in- terests of France, that would have béen a matterfor France to settle. But M. Thiers did not take that course, -What are we to think of the mental con- dition of politicians who can seriously attempt to justify by these words a proposal to raise considerably the duties upon several classes of manufactured goods, and, in fact, to ree store to the French tart its old protectionist character? Has tne utility of a return to protection been shown by experience? Would that res- toratton of the protectionist system which M, Thiers and his Minister avowedly aim at not be ip the strongest opposition to the spirit and peter of the treaty’ It is quite unnecessary discuss the matter, ‘The fact that M. Thiers should have resorted to such a pica, and that it should be put forward in nis interest in England, is the astounding part of the business. The only explanation is tuat M, Thiers is afraid to put an end to the treaty, that he knows his protectionist theories are not approved by the country, and that he ventures nothing for them but this paltry plea and this appeal ad misericordiam. If France likes, as we have said, to change her commercial system nobody has any right to complain. If, in order to have her hands free to do what she wills in the matter, she gives the notice which will terminate the treaty with Englana, she only exercises her clear rizhé, although tt would be but acting up to the spirit of her engagements with England to wait, before giving that notice, until the time came when she could give a similar notice to Switzeriand and other States whose treaties have yet a few years to run.

The following special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our cor- respondent in the capital of Germany :— Berwin, Oct. 30, 1871. His Excellency Prince Gortchakoff, who arrived in this city Saturday, had audience of the Emperor William yesterday. The interview was strictly private, and con- tinued for a very considerable time. The Russian statesman was received by Prince Bismarck to-day. The private character of the first con- ference was observed during the second. The reason for the maintenance of this unusual degree of secrecy is unknown. THE JERSEY MURDERS. Coroner's Inquest in the Nelte Case at Jersey City—Trial of Moses Henry for the Murder of McMahon at Hoboken, Coroner Volhardt empaneiled a jury yesterday afternoon and examined two witnesses in the case of the murder of Henry Noite. The inquess was then adjourned till to-day. In the meantime the prisoner Harned is kept in close confinement at the Third precinct statiop, no person being allowed to communicate with him, Thisis very mortifying to the impecu- nious Bohemians who take up their winter quarters in Jersey. One of this tribe abused the Sergeant in charge yesterday morning to his heart's content be- cause the officer would not allow lim to interview the prisoner and have the latier convict himself out of | his own meuth. It is somewhat singular that both the alleged murderer and murdered man leave each | a wile and three children to the mercy of the world, Great sympathy 1s manifested in every quarter of the city for the family of the unfortunate Nolte. In addition to the statements of two police sér- eants published in yesterday's HERALD the follow- Ing made by Joseph Strenckert may throw some light on the case. He gives his testimony as fol- lows:—I was at Steck’s at a commitvee meeting in Beacon avenue; when I left there [saw a light in Mr. Guth’s saloon; I went in and saw Henry Nolte, the man that was shot, sitting at a table; lasked him up to drink, and before we had taken it the lady of the house came in crying, and said that somebody had fired a stone at her husvand’s tace and that wis nose was bleeding; then I went down w the corner of Oakland and Beacon avenues, and saw no one except the policeman and an old woman and Mr, Guth; the Woman said, “Sure, you know who hit you;” Guth said, “I don’t know who hit me;” then I saw that the three were quarreling, but I did not know what they were talking about; then I gave my advice to Mr. Guth to go back in his place, and the policeman told me that I had nothing to say; then I went back in the saloon and took my glass of beer; while in there I heard that the policeman, Cnarley Harned, was drinking lager beer, and then [said to myself, “I will go and report him, because he ought to Know the man that fired the stone at Mr. Guth; I started to go out, and so soon as 1 came out ol the door Mr, Nolte came right up to me and said, “Mr, Strenkert, Iam shot; oh, my wife and my children;” and then Iran to the station house and made a report. THE HOBOKEN MURDER. . ‘The trial of Moses Henry for the murder of a man named McManon, at Hoboken, was commenced yes- verday in the Court’. ‘yer and Terminer, before Judge Bedle, Like i. Nolte murder, this had its origin in @ barroom atiray. It occurred about two weeks ago, so that the particuiars are faimiitar to the public. The jury were locked in last nigut aud the trial is expected to last three or four days, A VICTORY FOR HOBOKEN. The City Recovering Possession of Its Hi ways From a Wealthy Corporation. The suit instituted by the city of Hoboken to dis+ possess the Hoboken Land and Improvement Com- pany of that part of Fourth street between Kiver street and the North River, was concluded yester- day before Judge Bedie in favor of the city. The Hoboken Land and {mproveinent Company had filled in to water mark and refused to relinquish their claim to the property, while the city in- sisted on having the street as such~+ an open highway to the river. The defendants applied for a nonsult on the ground that the city could not maintain the action, but the application was re- fused. Judge Bedle in summing up his charge to the jury directed thei to find—first, that the de- fendants were guilty as to the whole premises de- scribed in the declaration down to the high water line; second, that the pies recover possession only on the ground that the premises are subject to the city’s right to easement of public streets; and thirdly, the jury were to Gnd specially whetner the dedication on Loss’ map was to high or low water mark On the first and second points tne verdict was to be given under tne direction of the Court and the responsibility rested with the Court.

The case will be carried vo the Supreme Cou the issue is one of vital importance to the city of Hoboken.

A most lamentable accident happened yesterday afternoon, by which two boys were shot through the carelessness of one of the members of the Heron Guards, an Eighteenth ward target company. They left New York for Schwatenbure’s Park, Dutch Kills, with seventy-two muskets, Wil. liam Dorlan as Captain; Peter Darling, First Lieutenant; John Tenny, Second Lieutenant. A namber of boys accompanied the excur- sionists, among them Dennis Sullivan, residing at 332 avenue A, and James Donohue. who lives near Sullivan. While the members of the company were firing at the target the boys were not kept ata safe distance. Many of the bulicts flew wide of tne mark. One of them struck Sullivan #nd passed ea. tirely through his head, and entered the neck of Donohue, who was standing near. Sullivan died almost instantly, aud there ts no possibility of Dono- hue’s recovery. The boys were not over one nundred yards from the tiring party. The wounded boy was brought to his home in New York. Sullivan was twelve years old, and had a brother a member of the company. Coroner Tewksbury held an inquest on the body at the office of an undertaker who had charge of the body. E RESIGNATION OF GOVERNOR BULLOCK. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 30, 1871.

It was Violetta shorn of all her naughtiness, Violetta, with fair hatr, light blae eyes, calm brow and spiritueile expression. ‘There was not the slightest trace of the Sybarite or Aspasia in this graceful girt that sang the “Libi- amo,’ but an alr of purity was around ber tat seemed to rebuke the reckless wickedness of the disciples of Lais around her. It was pure; un- strained, unspoiled simplictty, and for the “Dame aux Camellias’ we must say thas it was entirely at variance with received notions. Then came the declaration of the lover, Alfred Germont, and the first act closed with that never to be forgotien. “Al! fors e lui,’’ which when sung as Nilsson alone can sing it is an idyl of the heart, an apotheosis of love. The second act revealed a sublimity in the character of this love in surrendering it atthe call of duty. Never was anguish more powerfully por- trayed on the stage than when the unhappy Vio- letta wrote the fatal letter that was to separate her from her lover. And then came the return to the wild scenes of the Parisian salons in which she was so much out of place, and the deadly insult offered her by Alfred when he flung the purse of gold at her feet. But in the last scene Nilsson was sublime. In her case there was no consump- tion; i¢ was a clear case of a broken heart, Ail the hackneyed tricks of little coughs and fainting fis Which Bosto and Piccolomini originated were ab- sent here. She died so naturally, ftom the excess of emotion which love, mistaken though 1 might oe, caused in ner heart, that no one present thought for the moment of such @ commonplace thing as consumption. Even in her death she seemed to rob the grim destroyer of all his power and to enter, guided by him, into a melodioas atmosphere, the name of which 1s eter- nity, And het voice? A pure soprano s7ogaio, bright and tener as a Muy morning, and clear and lumpid as & mountain brook, penetrating in its aual- ity more than voices of a stronger and broader kind—how it thrilled the hearts of that immense audience! Betore the curtain fell for the last time there was a wall of regret fora lost past on the part of the unhappy lady, the imper- ceptible approach of death betokened in the Bey ke attacks of weakness in that frail system and that passtonate outburst at dying so young that seemed to rend the very heartstrings. This was the “Dame aux Camelias” of last night, and we have never had her like before. To quote the words of a celebrated French critic, the Lats ot this mo- ment may be described in these terms, “Her sigh is & melody, her breath a caress.’ Mere words cannot convey fully the effect of Nijsson’s Violetta, It must be seen to be apprectated. Capoul was a perfect lady killer, a passionate lover, who fitiy responded to the devotion of the Violet He removed all the impressions of his Almaviva and Lionel and came out in his true colors.

The act referred to brougiit noting new to the service of the steam mercantile mariae ot this country, as, by the rules of ow supervising inspectors, steamers were already operating uuder a more com- prehensive system that the new law provided, nor did that act prescribe any penalty for a violation ot its provisions, After a practical application of the law to steam vessels fora while, Congress restored the stern light to steamers and permitted the bright light to be carried ahead or cn the stern where the steamer was not equpped with a foremast.

Concerning the provisions of the act of February 28, 1871, requiring sail Vessels to exhibit a lignied torch upon that side of @ vessel presented to an approaching steamer, the Bourd say this signal is desirable for a steamer tw enable her pilot to discover the position of the sail vessel, and should not oe regarded as an aduitional light, carried any more taan the rocket of distress or & colored flash light often used at sea to indicate dis- tress or what ship or particular line of ships is represented by it, ‘The Board say that while foreign vessels are not amenable to the imspection laws of inls country they cannot see what danger could be done from an observauce’of the same when in the waters of the United States or elsewhere, Regarding moditications, all vessels carrying hay or other combustible materials on deck, the Board concur in the Secretary’s order for the substitution of the globe lamp forthe torchligut upon vessels 80 laden and so recommend a rule to that effect. ‘the Board refer to the frequent complaints made by masters of American steamers and sailing vessels in the Northern and Northwestern iakes, and the negligent and careless manner in which Cauadian and other foreign sailing vessels observe any system of signal lights, aud suggest the imporiance of cor- recting such a condition of things JY the buglish Board, or such other tribunal as may have power to require a more faithful observance of tie merchant. shipping regulations in those waters.
