The Heratp correspondent in Matamoros has forwarded us the following special de- Apatch :— Matamoros, Mexico, April 13, ). Via Brownsvitix, Texas, April 13, 1872. The revolutionists have started on a new base in their warfare against the Juarist gov- ernment. General Diaz has abrogated the Plande la Noria and proclaimed the fight under the constitution, which, to his declaration, is to intact. The Plan of the Noria had been the element of discord between the revolutionists and the Lerdistas, because it shut out the candidate of the latter, Lerdo de Tajeda, as Chief Justice, from the Presidency in case of the fall of Juarez. The cause of disagree- Ment between the two parties has now been removed by this act of Diaz. . LERDO TO BE PRESIDENT. The fight now simply is for the sole object ef dethroning President Juarez, on the ground of illegal tenure of office. according remain The present con- Btitution is to be left in operation, making Lerdo de Tajeda, at present Chief Justice of the , republic, the successor of Juarez as Presi- dent of Mexico. It is calculated that the con- sequence of this step will be that all the Ler- distas will now join the revolutionists in active hostilities against the Juarez government.

The Dominion Parlinment Discussing the Trenty of Washington and Its Position Be- tween Great Britain and the United States. Orrawa, Ontario, April 13, 1872, In the debate on the address in the Dominion Parliament, in reply to a speech last night, Sir Francis Hincks stated, In reply to Mr. McKenzie, the leader of the opposition, who com- plained of dclay im calling the House together, that it was caurea by differences which had arisen between Great Britain and the United States with respect to the Treaty of Wash- ington, There were two aspects of it to be con- sidered—he merits of the treaty itself, which woulda have to be dealt with by Parliament, and the ques- tion of the responsibility of the Canadian govern- ment. If the Premier had accepted a seat in the Commission only on the condition that he would not be called upon to sign the treaty uniess it met his own approval, it is not likely he could have been appointed to that position. He contended it was an honor and advantage vo Canada to be rep- resented in that Commission. Jt was most satis- factory that throughout the whole proceedings of the Commission there had been perfect unanimity among the members of te Canadian government. He objected to the ground taken by members of tne opposition and thelr organs representing their opinions that the Commissioners were responsi- bie tor the treaty. The British government had admitted that they, and they alone, shoud be held responsible to the British Parliament, and the Ca- nadian government were alone responsible for the weaty to the Dominion Pariiament. When the pa- pers are brought down the House cnn see that the Canadian Ministry nad done wer duty and taken the course which would commend itself to the House, and that they would be justified in all they haa done. With regard to the construction of a Pacific ratl- way, as one of the conditions of union with Britisn Columbia, he denied that the resources of the coun- try were inadequate to the carrying out of that pro. jec!, He wished to say that the contrary was the fact, and that the Minister of Militia was entirely correct in stating on a former occasion that that work could be constructed without auding to the burdens of the country. With regard to the late calling togethee of the House he was surprised that toe gentleman who had preceded him shonid express ignorance of the Teasuns for that occurrence, for surely every one could gee, in the important questions connected with the Washington ‘Treaty, every reason for the postponement of the meeting of Parliament. Con- gress had not arrived at a decision; and when the imperial government requested a delay, surely every one would see how important it was that in a question of such import the imperial and Canadian governments shonid be in perfect accord. Str Joho A. Macdonald moved the usual formal Tegolution to uppoint a committee to drait a reply to the speech. Mr. Holton objected to the adoption of the reso- lution without some explanations trom the govern- ment respecting the Washington ‘Treaty. Sir Johu A. Macdonald declined to discuss the question until the whole matter should come up in due form before the .ouse. He would then be pre- paced to discuss the matter tothe fuliest extent, Joti that time it would be inexpedient to do so. ‘The address was carried without a division and the Honse adjourned untt!

The following insur+ auce companies are the heaviest suiferers:—British American, London, Liverpool and Globe, Western, North British, Imperial, Provinctal and Phoenix.

THREATENED LYNCHING IN KENTUOCK Carno, I, April 13, 1872, 1Wo of the four men implicated in the late attempt to commit an atrocious outrage upon a lady and her daughter near Clinton, Hickman county, Ken- tueky, were arrested, and, while their trial was pro- gressing, repeated attempts were made by @ mob to lynch them. The mob attacked the jail gnard on ‘Thursday night, and thirty snots were exchanged, but without serious result on elther side. The mob is avowedly determined to lynch the prisoners or burn the village. THE SEVEN WISE MEN'S ORLEBRATION. - New Onteans, Lo., April 13, 1872, ‘The Seven Wise Men celebrated tho twentieth an- niversary of their organization last nignt by atorch- “Tat procession and an address, |MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. ‘The Academy of Music. Yesterday's matince was rather trying on the ar- tistes of the Parepa-Rosa troupe after the severe effort of the preceding night, As might have been expected, there were traces of weariness in the re- Presentation, But in spite of this ‘Rigoletto,’ Verdl’s charming opera, was rendored in a satis- factory manner. Perhaps no other opera in the manager's répertoire 1a so well calculated vo display to 1ts fullest the great lyric power of this company; and, after all, tis this class of music that appeals the most widely to the people. ‘Rigoletto’ will, tmerefore, continue to be largely patronized as long asit is presented, The story 18 intensely drama- tic, and were it not that it has been 80 skil- imily relieved by the tniroduction of the lighter and more charming emotions the influence of Uke tragic ending would be too lugubrious to bear. Their isa subue melody running through the score, whicu breaks out even in the most pas- sionate passages, revealing the deep sentiment that underles aad gives them intensity. The cast yes- terday was the same as on previous representations, Mr. dantley appearing 43 Kigolettu, Wacniel as Duca di Mantua, Mme, Parepa-Rossa as Guida, Miss Putilips a8 Maddalena, Mr, Cook as Sparafucile, Mr, Hall as montrone, Mr. Ryse as Marullo, Mr. Banfl as Ciprano, Miss Scholieid as Contessa Ciprano, Mr. Chiesa as Borsa, tie orchestra being under the direction of Sir. Nenendorit, Santley's musical in- terpretations of the role of Rigoletto will remain Iue-long = remembrance — to those = who have had the happiness to hear him. it requires rare judgment to preserve the just balance in the delineation of the of parentai love aud @ jather’s anger at the out- rage comtnitted against nis child's honor. To say tuat Santley succeeds in loterpreting truly the tenderiul love of the puifoon for his child, 30 that our hearts are moved by the deep, full notes tnab overflow With tne sweetest melody, and that he transtixes ug with the force and intensity of his pus- sion, 18 only according to him justice, ‘The bravura passage, i the (lerce outburst of passin, “Si Ven- detta, (remenda Vendeita,” was given wiih all the intense vindicuveness of @ man driven mad by the remembrance of bis wrongs. In the concerted pieces the Correctness of his vocalizat on and pers fecv command of which this artist nas over lis voice was especially manifest, Madame Rosa, though ber voice was wanting io ireshuess and gave constant evidence of fatigue, sang very effec- tively. ‘The duet with the Duke ta the garden was perhaps wanting iu that passioutul tenderness of feeling which of right pelongs to 1t; but her vocall- zation Was rewarkably pure and brilliant, especiaily in the arietta, *Adadio, speranze ed anima.” She rew more feeling thio the delightful melody, “Caro nome,’ than on any other occasion, giving the cadenza passages in a remarkably finished manner, 1 is impossibie to tisten to Wachtel with- out regretung tat one so gifted by nature ts not willing to do more to improve himself by art. Of the strengta ana richness Of his voice there can be no question, and the revelations of feeling and even of tenderness that at rare inter- vals are developed, prove that onty a rigid discipline 18 wanted to make Wachtel! the most deligatiul of tenors. The garden duet yesterday was certainly an lmprovement on former representations, but was lar {rom sausiying us On the important ‘point of fecling. ‘The singing was remarkably good—excel- lent, indeed, if We only look tor brillant execution, Wachtel, by one of ats towrs de sorce, produced a volta aiiaccaia Which in point of sensational effect was most _ tellin, but to produce i the feeiling and expreaston of the cantabile “Ora che uccendene” was sacrificed, “La donna @ monile’) was sung in tie same styie, and though we were pleased by the power of execnuon displayed, tae resulung iecling was far from sausiactory, Miss Paillips was quite out of Voice, owing, no doubt, to efforts op the previous night. ‘The celebrated quartet in the third act was SO delightfully rendered that the enthusiasm of a remarkably cool audience was awakened ana & repeuition insisted Wachtel's staging of “Bella tigita dell’ amore'’ leit nothing to ve desired but that he would aiways sing tn the same style. His rendering was stmpiy delightful. The imsiru- Meniation of the orcuesira was good, but at the close of the venuctia duet the brass almost drowned the singers’ voices, There ts evidently a desire to remedy this evi, aud we don’t see why it should be allowed to occur @ secoud time. Mr. Kaniecri Vilanvviws Soiree Musicale. A vory select and distinguisned audience, the greater number being Jadies, filled Chickering Hall last night, On occasion of Mr. Ranieri Vilanova’s soiree musicale, in Which he was assisted by Mme. Vilanova, @ non-professional, but highly cultivated soprano, and about a dozen of his pupils, ladies ana gentiemen. Mr. Vilanova has, since he came to this city, succeeded in establisning for himself an enviable repatauon a8 a proiessor of music in the highest circles of society, and certainly 1t would be an extremely dificult matter to attract sucn an audience to any other musical entertainment, His system of instruction, Judging trom the result of last night's soirée, 18 both thorough and yet so practical that it iuspires each pupil with implicit contidence in his or her ability to master the arcana ol musical science, ‘The programme, a bouquet of melodies from Ital- fan and French composers, Was felicitous 1m its va- riety and adaptapility to the characteristic qualtues of the executants. First came Adam’s overture, “Si jetais Roi,” arranged for two planos (cig hands), which ‘was tollowed by @ vocal trio by Costa, Mr. Vilanova then played a nocvurne of his own, “Tears of the Heart” (Larmes de cwur), one of those tender, expressive soul-idyis, which he mvesied with a rare delicacy of sentiment, Liszt's celebrated transcription o: the Polacea, from *Purt- tant,” gave him an opportunity to display lis remarkable vesatility, as nothing could be stronger than the contrast of style between the two works In response to a double encore he illustrates two siyles, again diferent, in a pieme musi- caie and a barcarole of his own, The former 48 a quaint, odd production, naving for its subject a wild Cuban melody. Mariaai, a very popular ro- mance composer of Milan, was next represented on the programme by a soprano solo, ‘Una Speranza,” which was admirably rendered. We regret to be unable to give the names of the ladies and gentle- men Who took part in the soirée, as, it being of a semi-private character, public mention of the names would not be expedient. A very beauutful nocturne and barcarolle, arranged in the form of a duet for mezzo-soprano and tenor, the work of Mr. Vilanova, and @ Spanish duet for two sopranos by the same, were the vocal features of the evening, and were One of these laqies has a mez sympathetic quality, an artist, The same lady sang one of suti’s best arias, “Dormi Pure,” in a style that In a grand public concert would have created aturor. Mme, Vilanova saug that wondertul, bird- like melody of Rossini, “Une Voce Poco Pa,” of which it Was once said that the composer must have written it ior a nighungale, The quartet, “Mi Manca la Voce,” from ‘Moses in Exypt,”? was rendered with spirit and expression, Regarding the mstramental part of the programme, aside from Mr. Vilanova’s solos, We can speak in terms of high praise of the playing of the symphony on Verdi's opera (unpublished), “1? Assedio di Ariem,” and the well Known (im Ialy at least) “Il Keggente,” by Mercadante, Four young ladies took part in each of these works, and the ensemble in clockwork, precision, even in very trying age hel bory unmistakable evidence of a high order of training. Agenueman sang “Kile ne Croyait Pas,” the roe mauce in which Capou) made such @ hitin ‘Mig- ’ and 1n response to an encore he gave Kuck- en's “Good Night.” ‘These sittle soirees are exceedingly entertaining and enjoyable, a3 they partake more ot the charac- ler of a drawing room soirée at one’s own house thau of @ lormat public concert. The artists, or amateurs, and the auditors are on the happiest terms; in fact, many of them change Places during the performance. We trust that Mr. Vilanova will shortly repeat his soirée and introduce some of his highly finished compositions and of nis charming puplis on the little stage of Chickering Hail.

SALT Lake Crry, April 12, 18° A correspondent at Beaver reports @ most shamelul speech delivered at that place a few days ago by Elder A, M. Musser, the Mor- mon Telegraph Superintendent. The speaker sald that rather than surrender one single principle of their religion the Mormons would make a Mos- cow of Salt Lake Clty, tear up tne railroads, break down the telegraph les and destroy miliions of other property. He spoke of Judge McKean as a dried up, corrupt old dog, and of the President as “Useless Grant,” and stigmatized him and others asa corrupt set. He also inciuded the President's Wile in bis outrageous attack. An article in the Church organ last evening on Judge McKean excites great indignation among both Gentiles ana Liberals, It is said to have been written by Eider Cannon for effect at Washington, but it disgusts reasonable Mormons, who see that it willheip the Voorhee’s vill. The Mormons gen- erally have little hope in the success of their appli- cation for adm:ssion into the Union as a Sthte.

Her boilers were rated at 127 Ibs, of steam, ‘The inspector set the vaives at that figure and them. The explosion occurred while crossing the niver from the shore. ‘The steamer struck the bar when in the middie of the river.

A Mysterious Affair—The Woman at First Indi- ates That Her Husband Did It—The Man Kneels at the Bedside and Begs Her to Save Him from Being Hanged—The Woman Dying. Prrrspura, Pa,, April 13, 1872. 4 horrivie crime was commuttea at an early hour this morning at a house in the Nineteenth ward, occupied by a German cattle broker, named Peter Weise. The victim was his wife, When she was discovered it was supposed she naa been murdered, The woinan lay on a bed and presented a horrible spectacle, There was a deep ragged gash on the throat extending almost from ear to ear, nearly two inches wide, which nad penetrated the wind pipe, In addition there was a terrible sawing cut on the back of the neck extending into the spinal column, and, with that on the throat, almost SEVERING THE HEAD FROM ITS TRUNK. The quantity of blood lost must have been enor- mous, and the wonder is how the woman lived an hour atter her fearful wounds were inflicted, The deed 1s supposed to have been committed at about midnight, as about that time the occupants of the second story of the house were alarmed by We! calling and informing them that lis wife had cut her throat. On the arrival of the police and physicians they asked her who committed the act, and though un- able to reply she appeared to be periectly con- scious of all that was occurring around ner, ana, raising ner nand as an answer to the question, pointed toward her husband. The windpipe 18 so badly cut that her attempts to speak were smoth- ered in & gurgling sound, and doubtless she Inhaled the greater part of the air. SHE BREATHED THROUGH TH® GASH. Once they endeavored to give her water, but 1t was lost through the opening. Weise was found in an outhouse attached to the building. He appeared to take the matter with the greatest Indifference, lying down on a bed and sleeping within an hour after- wards. While he was Meopine. and the of. cers were standing near the bedside looking al the woman she glanced at them, lifted her rignt hand, drew it across her tnroat, as if in the act of cutting If, and then pointed at her husband, Putting a pencil in her hand we oficer held a piece of paper for ner, on which she wrote a3 the murderer, “Peter Weiss.” What makes it one of the most queer ctrcumstances is what followed. ‘The husband states he came home at eleven o'clock last night, entered the bedroom, and finding no light in it, approached the bed for the purpose of retiring. ‘His wife kissed him and remarked “PETER, THAT IS THE LAST KISS YOU WILL GET FROM ME.) He tola her not to be foolish. She then kissed him again, and fell down on the floor. He lifted her up, placed her on the bed, and, striking alight, ais- covored that he had cut her throat. During the in- terview, Which the Deputy Mayor had with her this morning, in which she fixed’ the butchery on her husband, Weise appeared at last to realize that he was in danger. Bemg accusi of the crime he becam much agitated, fell down on his knees ab the bedside, and implored his wife to gave him from being hanged, He denied by signs that he had done tt, and intimated as far as possible under the circum: stances that she was her own murdress. Blood was found on the door in considerable quantities, and the razor, badly nicked, with Which te cutting was done, was discovered in a corner of the room, and he was covered with blood.

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 13, 18 An alarm of fire was sounded in TaMn, Onto, 160 miles north of this city, at three o’clock this aiter- noon, which soon became general and drew the entire population to the streets. ‘The fire originated in the grocery of A. McNiel, but a stiff sounwester prevailing at the time soon spread the flames over the the entire square and fears were entertained that the entire city would be destroyed. The brave little Fire Department, assisted by thousands of citizens, armed with water buckets and axes, gave batue to the flery enemy, and fought witn a de- termination and energy whica the fate of Chicago spurred to desperation. Nearly all the buildtugs adjacent to the fire were frames, which as soon as ignited the wind fanned aud Lore into fragments, that in turn became brands to carry on the work of destruction. Twenty husi- ness nouses were on flre within thirty minutes afier the alarm was sounded, and a general panic seized the people living near the scene, Household furniture, bedding, merchandise every description, feeble oid women and children were pulied out of the ings and heaned up peil meil toward the eye of the Wind, which, taking @ northeasterly direction sumed nearly everyting in its track. At one ume a feeling of despair seemed to settle upon the affrighted citizens, as the devouring flames, ilfted upon the wings of the wind, were Durled against the wooden roofs and wails o1 dweil- ing. and absolutely aie them up WIth a fiery mouth and life-consuming breath, But a slight lull in the hurricane revived the sinking hopes, and renewed efforts were made, not to save the smitten places, but to prevent the further spread of the destructive element. Between fifty and sixty buildings are in ashes, Including stores, @ Stove factory, @ number of saloons and the sheds of the Cincinnatl, Sandusky and Cleveland Rallroad. The railroad depot was on fire several times, Dut was saved. ‘fhe area burned over 1s half a mile long and about a quarter of a mile in breadth.
