Two theories were advanced in the clubs and on ‘Ohange, during the day relative to the political prediction put forth by the Daily News this morn- ing, with respect to the future of the Gladstone Ministry and the Parliament. One is, in effect, that the Gladstone Ministry, will really resign if defeated on Mr. Fawcett’s Dublin University bill; the other that the announcement has been given out for the purpose of filling the liberal benches at the session to-night.

Parliamentary Beassemblage—Legislative Con- tradiction to the Chief of State. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, Paris, April 22, 1872. Telegrams from Versailles, dated this morning, announce that the adjourned session of the National Assembly Was resumed this afternoon. The House discussed the order of business. President Thiers wanted the taxes to be disposed of first, then the question of the formation of a Council of State might be taken up; but he hoped ‘the discussion of the Army bill would be deferred, “for grave political reasons.” The Assembly, however, decided to consider first the scheme fora Council of State and next the Army bill, leaving the tax question to an indefinite fature. RADICAL NOPE OF THE PROGRESS OF REVOLUTIONISM. The radicals are rejoicing over evidences of the growth of republican ideas in the Departments. Diplomatic Relations with Germany.

Parliamentary Oppositionist Action Against Indi- rect Damages—“Degradation” by Consulta- tion on the Counter Case—Earl Granville’s Conversation with Minister Schenck. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, April 22, 1872. The Duke of Richmond, in the House of Lords, and Mr. Disraeli, in the House of Commons, gave notice to-night that they should question the gov- ernment to-morrow as to whether it was prepared to give Parliament and the country assurance that further proceedings before the Geneva Board: for the arbitration of the Alabama claims will be sus- pended unless the claims for indirect damages are withdrawn and abandoned by the government of the United States, In the upper house Lord Oranmore wanted all the papers produced and also the minutes of the conversations accompanying the presentation of the British counter case at Geneva. The record, he believed, would prove humiliating to the country. He declared it was degrading to ask the American government any question as to the propriety of our presenting the counter case, Earl Granville replied that there had been no degradation. He described his conversation with Mr. Schenck, the American Minister, as entirely Personal. Mr. Schenck agreed to ask the govern- ment at Washington its view of the propriety of the presentation by Great Britain of her counter case and accompanying. document at Geneva. To this inquiry no answer had been received. Press Canvass of the Amorican Policy— Project for a Cessation of the Arbitra- tion Representation in Geneva. Lonpon, April 22, 1872. The Times of this morning devotes another arti- cle to the Alabama claims difficulties. Alluding to the rumors prevailing on the one hand that the United States will withdraw their extraordinary claims, and on the other that they will maintain them, the Times says:—‘‘Perhaps the policy of President Grant consists in keeping the case unsettled until the 15th of June, the time for the reassembling of the Tribunal of Arbitration at Geneva. The duty of England under these circum- stances Is plain. She should proceed no further in the arbitration if the claims of the American gov- ernment for indirect damages are not withdrawn. The London Times strongly urges, in the same article, the adoption by Parliament of the motion which Earl Russell has announced his intention of introducing in the House of Lords for an address to the Crown for the suspension of proceedings on the part of Great Britain before the Geneva tribunal until the American claims for indirect damages are withdrawn. THE QUESTION IN CONGRESS Resolution Asking for the Fish-Gran- ville Correspondence. Inthe House of Representatives yesterday Mr. Cox, of New York, offered a resolution asking for reliable information in regard to the subject of consequential damages involved in the matter of claims against Great Britain, which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, The resolution calls for the correspondence be- tween the Secretary of State and Lord Granville, and is aimed both at the disposition on the part of the State Department to carry on these negotiations without the knowledge of Con- gress and at the possibility of a backdown or com- promise by the administration. There is a very powerful lobby seeking the with- drawal of the claim for consequential damages, and, in spite of all the assurances to the contrary, a fear that a. compromise will be effected which will be a virtual withdrawal of the whole case. Mr. Cox, in pressing his resolution upon the attention of the House, insisted upon the right of the people to know at least as much as the English Parliament knew upon this subject, SPAIN. Progress of the Carlist Revolutionary Agitation— * Public Action for Its Suppression— Don Carlos’ Promises. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Important Naval Changes in Prospect—New Banks Authorized—The British and Ameri- can Commission—Nomination of a Comptroller of the Currency. Wasninoton, April 22, 1872. ‘The Bill for the Repeal of the Tax on ‘Tea and Coffee. The feature in the Senate to-day was the failure of Senator Scott to obtain a consideration of the House bill for the repeal of the duty on tea and coffee, the absence of Mr. Sherman, Chairman of the Finance Committee, being the excuse for this action, A good deal of feeling prevails here on account of this delay, and the administration Senators are not slow to charge a vicious spirit upon the democrats and recalcitrant republicans by their concerted action on the measure. Business men complain loudly of the de- lays, and while, not caring what action the Senate may take, are anxious that action may be taken one way or the other, that trade may not longer be delayed by the uncertainty at present existing. An Act to Prevent Contraction and Ex- pansion in the Money Market.

Aresolution enlarging the scope of the word “claim” as applied to ex-members in the rule giv- ing the privilege of the floor to such as are not pressing claims before Congress, 30 as to include members engaged in any legislation, either for themselves or representing others, was reported from the Committee on Rules to-day. This proved an unexpected shot to those members whose atten- tion has not been called to this growing evil, and time was asked and obtained for its consideration, Contemplated Naval Changes. The Secretary of the Navy has under considera- tion the adoption of the plan carried out by the English navy, of assigning Vice Admiral Rowan to the position of Port Admiral of New York, witha Rear Admiral on the retired list as commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Before Judge Brady. In the case of Thomas Pearson, who several days ago applied for a mandamus to compel Comptroller Green to pay $49,476 91, seventy per cent of the amount claimed to be due for paving Second avenue between Eighty-sixth and 125th streets, the Judge yesterday gave adecision. “It is suMicient to say that the relator’s claim is disputed, and that he has a perfect remedy at law if his claim be just. The ane to a writ of mandamus in an application like this depends upon two elements—First, the claim, or demand, payment of which is sought to be en- forced, must be clearly established; second, the relator must be remediless by action. (2 Crary Spl Prac., 49, and cases cited ex parte Lynch, 2 Hill, 45.) In the matter of Lynch Justice Cowen said:—“But when there is a plain and adequate remedy by action for the part agerieved the writ of mandamus does not fie, y am not aware of any exception to this rule. There is, however, another objection to the success of his application. There is no fund out of which it can be paid—no fund or moneys specially appropriated mei q The application is, for these reasons, nied, COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. A Felonious Assault upon a Keeper of the House of Refuge—The'Youthful Despera- does Sent to the State Prison by Judge Bedford. Before City Judge Gunning 8. Bedford. The only case of general public interest disposed of yesterday in this Court was a charge of felonious assault and battery preferred against two youthful desperadoes, named Thomas McLaughlin, alias John Ryan, and Michael Lawler, alias Martin Reynolds, inmates of the House of Refuge. The Grand Jury found another indictment against McLaughlin, The complainant in this particular case was Thomas H, Melledy, one of the keepers of the House of Refuge on Randail’s Island, who testified that on the 8th of this month & number of boys—eight or ten—were making thetr escape from. the House of Refuge, among whom were the pris- oners; he gave chase, and when they got to the river Lawler held him by the shoulder while Mc- Laughlin cut him on the cheek, on the ear, and in two places on the back of the neck with a sharp in- strament, inflicting wounds and, causing the blood to flow een. The complainant, upon cross- examination, sald that they attempted to escape between three and four o’clock in the afternoon; when he got to the river bank McLaughlin was in the water; he (the witness) had a small club in his hand, but did not use it upon any of the boys. Daniel H. Sprague, the Vice -Principal of the school, was called to prove that the prisoners were inmates of the House of tere A Michael Lawlor was called by Mr. McClelland and examined in his own behalf. He said he saw some boys run, towards the gate, and followed them towards the river, but ne had not time to reach the bank till Mr, Melledy came and ordered him and an- other boy to go on the bank; while standing there he saw a boy named Driscoll and the prisoner Mc- Laughlin come out of the water and strike Melled; two or three times in the face, but he (Lawler) had nothing to do with the stabbing, and did not hold the complainant, Thomas McLaughlin wi mitted striking the compla! ing struck him with a knife. he jury convicted them of an assault with a dangerous weapon, with intent to do bodily harm, ich peoraiennees Lawler to the mercy of the Jourt. Judge Bedford said:—Gentlemen, I always like to pay all the deference [can to the jury when they recommend a party to the merciful co\sideration of the Court, but I think it my duty to tell you who this Lawler is, and if you still recommend him to mercy I will consider it. Some time ago these two young men were indicted for robbery, and on account of thelr youth the District Attorney very properly took a plea which enabled me also sworn, and ad- ant, but dented hav- to send them to the House of Refuge. About ten days ago Superintendent Jones wrote me a letter, which on file with the clerk, stating that they were desperate, reck- less, dangerons boys; that they not only inflicted the stab wound upon the complainant, of which you have this day pronounced them guilty, but two days afterwards, on the 10th, they nearly killed another keeper. [have been’ officially requested to put them out of the way—to send them either to the State Prison or the Penitentiary, I think as a mat- ter of law, as well as a matter of fact, that Lawler is just as ply asthe one who inflicted the stab wound. Where the inmates of an institution are so reckless and desperate it would be a bad precedent, considering the antecedents of these prisoners, to put on record a récommendation to mercy by the jury, because subordination is the salvation of every institution; so that if you with- draw that recommendation to mercy I will use my discretion in the matter. The Foreman of the Jury—It is withdrawn. Assistant District Attorney Sullivan—There is another indictment against McLaughlin, but I will not try it. aoa Bedford—I shall send you, Lawler, to the State Prison for five years. McLaughlin, you are oplv sixteen years of age, and [ shall send you to the Penitentiary for five years, Larceny in a Clothing Store—The Youth- ful Thieves Sent to Sing Sing by the City Judge. John Barker and John McLoughlin were tried upon an indictment charging them with burglariously entering the tailor shop of Simon Fisher, No. 944 Frankfort. street, on the night of the 2d of this month. Clothing valued at $100 was taken. The testimony was not sufficient to sustain the charge of burglary, but the jury convicted the prisoners of grand rohan apd ey having been found in their possession. The officer informed the Judge that he never saw the boys do any work. His Honor sen- tenced each of them to the State Prison for three years, Adoiph Beer pleaded guilty to having an obseene photograph in his possession with intent to dis- pose ofit, and was sentenced to the Penitentiary for six months, An Acquittal, Patrick McDonald was tried upon a charge of stealing a pocketbook, contalning $47, from Thomas Fitzgerald, on the 22d of November, There was no legal testimony to substantiate the allegation, and pa Phas were directed to find a verdict of not guilty.

After waiting till eight o’clock the punctual members were enabled to get together a few workers, but not enough to permit of the third reading of bills, THE GOVERNOR AND THE CITY CHARTER. The question as to whether the Governor will sign the New York charter or not still continues to be the theme of conversation on all sides, The opinion is now becoming general that the Governor will interpose his veto, although there are many who claim that he will permit it to become a law by allowing it to remain pigeon-holed in the executive office until the expiration of the legal ten days. It ts said that the most serious obstacle to the bill's becoming a law is a clause that provides that no person who has not resided inthe Sena- torial district in which he may reside on the day of election for at least thirty days previous to election can vote for Alderman. It is claimed that as “Mov- ing Day” and election day both come in May this fea- ture of the bill will disfranchise thousands of voters, and that the bill should be vetoed on this ifon no other ground. The Governor has already been deluged with letters and protests from New York voters, who do not care about being left out in the cold on election day, and it is said that thease protests are having considerable weight with him. Indeed, as far as this disfranchising feature of the bill is con- cerned, it ig asserted by not a few members of both Houses that it was put in the bil with the purpose of disfranchising. the very class it necessarily does disfranchise— those unfortunates who do not own the houses they live in, It was no step of judgment, they say, and in support of this they point to the fact: that Colonel: Hawkins did his best to induce his fellow members in committee to insert twenty days in lieu of the words thirty days. Had this effort been successful’ no disfranchisement of the 1st of May movers who intend to move ont of their Senate districts would have been possible. It is hard to sce, under the cir- cumstances, why the committee opposed it. Among the other rumors afloat in relation to the probabill- ties of the situation is an important one, to the effect that Charles O’Conor has written an elaborate opinion adverse to the constitutionality of ‘the cumulative voting feature of the char- ter. The rumor at this hour, however, cannot be. traced to any authentic source, although it is believed to have some good founda- tion in fact. The republicans are very much exer- cised over the mooted question of the veto, and they are busily engaged, in consequence of the un- certainty of affairs, in “fixing” things so as to meet even the worst possible contingency. I have it from the very best authority that they have a char- ter already framed, which, in case of a veto of the Seventy’s bill, the: will put through under the whip and = spur of the previous question, It is said that this char- ter is an out-and-out republican one, and is so framed that the city will be certain to be controlled, no matter what the people may have to say about it, by republican commissions. Under the circum- stances it may be that the democrats will come to the conclusion that half a loaf is better than no loaf at all, and do their best, for fear of worse things to om to bolster the Seventy’s scheme into a tri- umph, * Governor will have the whole of this week during which to answer the question which every. one is asking, ‘What will he do with it?” Before answering it, however, he intends to give repre- sentative citizens of New York an op- portunity of presenting before him their arguments in favor of the charter and against it, and has appointed next Thursday for the purpose. The Seventy people will be up in force, and a small army of office holders will also come boldly to the front, with the hope of making an impression on His Excellency, so as to secure a veto and thus preserve their places a little longer, COMMODORE VANDERBILT'S RAILROAD SCHEMES now before the Legislature will be brought to an issue very soon. ir. William H. Vanderbilt came up in aspectal train this afternoon, accompanied by Mr. Dutcher, one of the directors; Mr. Buck- hout, Chief Engineer, and Mr. Depew, counsel for the railroad company, together with several other rentlemen, among Whom were Senators Johnson, Vagner and arphy and Mr. Whitbeck, of the Assembly. ir, Whitbeck, who is a member of the Railroad Committee and gives special attention to the subject of rapid tran- sit, went down to New York on Saturday and had an interview with Vanderbilt on that evening by appointment. The majority of the Railroad Com- mittee of the Assembly had reported in favor of Vanderbilt's plan of sinking the track on Fourth avenue, above the Gran Central depot, b: havin an open cut, while Mr. Whitbec! and Sur. Smyth favored the tunnel sys- tem. The object of the interview was to endeavor, if possible, to effect a compromise by which the rights of the railroad company to the use of the avenue would be respected, and at the same time the interests and wishes of the property owners on the avenue promoted, The result of the interview was that Mr. Vanderbilt con- cluded to abandon the idea of an open cnt, and expressed his willingness to adopt the essential features of the tunnel system proposed by Mr. Whitbeck, The compromise consisted of an agree- ment that, instead of commencing to sink the track within the Grand Central depot, the company should commence to depress it from their grounds at Forty-eighth street, and sink it as rapidly as possible until the road — should fairly under ground at Fifty-fifth street, whence the tunnel should continue until ained the one now existing under Yorkville Hill. Before finally Ceara J to this compromise Mr. Whitbeck consulted a number of representative men of his constituents, who met this forenoon at Mr. Vanderbilt's office and expressed themselves in favor of the plan. The Commodore is very roud of his depot, and claimed the privi- lege of maintaining the tracks as an exist on the company’s grounds up to Forty-eight! street, but he consented to enclose the grounds and to the construction of bridges over the cut from Forty-eighth street to Fifty-fifth street. The tunnel is to be well lighted and ventilated with open- ings, to be ornamented similar to those on Park where _ the Present tunnel runs Hill. he city is to ay half the expense of the improvement, upon the Pidory that it will enhance the value of roperty north of Forty-second street and east of Central Park, by which the city will receive, by increased taxation, more than the amount it will expend long before the seventeen years will have expired. Vanderbilt is anxious to have his rapid transit UNDBRGROUND SCHEME T0 CITY HALL PARK adopted, and he says he intends to to work and build the road as soon as the franchise shall have been granted. The Central Underground people are opposed to this bill, because the route from the City jail to Fourteenth street is precisely the same as that mapped out in their original franchise. It was Vanderbilt's engineer who laid out the original route of the Central Underground, and It is likely, that he intends to come to some arrangement with them if he really means to build the road; otherwise, his scheme, if it passed, would be useless, because it would encroach upon the vested rights of the Cen- tral Underground. This point will be brought mp at the meeting of the Railroad Committee to-morrow, when the Central Underground interest is to have a hearing. PROCREDINGS IN THE SENATE.

BEECHER ON THE SABBATH. Large Audie at Cooper Institute Mr. Beecher Believes in Opening Read= Rooms, Lyceums and Art Gallerics on Sundays—The Poor Man WNeed« Them—Six Days Work a One Day’s Rest. Cooper Institute Hall was last evening packed with an audience who had come to hear the Rev., Henry Ward Beecher advocate the opening of the! pwbdile libraries, lyceums and art galleries on Sun- days. Long before eight ofclock every seat im), the ball was occupied, and standing room im the yicinity of the platform could scarcely be had. On the platform a number of ladies and gentlemert occupied every available Inch of room. Promptly at eight o’clock the large audience in- timated a desife for Mr. Beecher’s presence, and the eminent lecturer at once put in an-appearance, After some remarks by Mr. Hewitt, the chairman, stating the object of the meeting, Mr. Beecher was introduced. He said that when the clergy agreed about the observance of the Lord's day the latty were sure to follow, and the obverse was also true, for when the laity agreed on the observance of that day the clergy were sure not to oppose. There was no difference between clergy and laity. The word) citizen swallowed up all. In regard to great morat questions there were no dividing lines, and he count- ed it an auspictous occasion for the consideration of the present subject that so many thousands had assembled there that night. He would be sorry to oppose those who would sanctify the Sabbath; for he came of an old Puritan ancestor. He would have the day do more than it now does; if it had done one good thing he would have it do twenty more. He believed in giving:it a fuller and larger’ use, It could be made to domore, Large num- bers had come to our shores who would have tt made a holiday, He stood between both excesses, and wanted, not conflict, but co‘eperation. As 16 was, it was an American Sabbath, a church day, & religious day of rest. In other thnds there were games and amusements on Sunday, with a little pralibainace rule of church in the morning. When he was a boy he used to think that everything was unlike what it was on any other fy ae home, the birds in the flelds, the stillness. And though but a boy, he used to have a certain poetic feeling over him every Sabbath. He honored the: man who kept the old Sunday. and he honored the day for what it had done for his fathers and for the community. But there could be more of Sunday, more of sanc- tity. The old Jews made Saturday thelr Sabbath, but bev looked upon it simply as a day of rest and joy. The only thing they objected to was work. We had not any: express com~ mand from the Scriptures as t) how the Sabbath should be kept. The observance of the Lord’s Day had come to us with bars and bolts upon it. hat was the Lord’s Day? It was that day when Jesus healed, and upon which He re- buked the Jews for calling to account some of His disciples who had eaten in the flelds, for the reason that it was lawful to do good on that day. In the face of the Jewish teaching the Master had taught it tobe a day of humanity, It was made for man and not man for it. If was.not made to destroy liberty, but for larger manhood. Then, what were the benefl uses of it? It was a day for physicial rest, and that we all needed. Here the speaker gave an eloquent description of the life of a poor man, his want of rest and the need he had for it, and said that the wealthy, who had every thing they wanted, were not the judges of what the poor man needed on Sunday. He then went on to speak of Sunday. in the churches and draw a_ vivid pleture of the effort made by clerks and young men of that standing to pass the day, beginning in the morning with a cold reception in some church, or perhaps treated to some sermon, in which they might be enlightened that Adam was the father of the human race; and then, after spending a day, perfectly meaningless, finally at night time seeking company in an evil place. He would not com- el people to go to church, but he would inculcate that they should do so. It was enough to have to cambat the devil for six days in the week, and it was therefore wel to take afresh start on Sunday by going to wor-L ship. This sort of rest was needed, and it was the more needed by those who were poor, for these needed moral er, and it was to secure this power that he advocated Sabbath education, The lecturer then went on to show how Sunday should be spent. He believed in the Sabbath being achureh — in the morning and a family day tn the evening. ere was too much preaching and too much Sunday school teaching. It was bad to do anything that made people tired of the Sunday or to brin up children with a terror over them. le advocated the poor man’s Sun- day, and that the day for rest should not be as it was among the Jews, a day of rest for the rich only. In every walk of life six days? work was enough, and means should be taken whereby, if it were necessary that work should be done on the Sabbath, it should not be done by those who had worked the previous six days. He was in favor of running the city cars on Sunday, so that the r might get a chance of getting fresh air and sunlight, though he did oppose making any conduc- tor work seven days. As to the opening of the pubife libraries, lyceums and art galleries on the Sabbath, he was in favor of the project. He belleved that young men should have some place to go 6n Sundays where they would meet Sompenteaseen In the spirit of the Master, whose rebirth occurred on the Sabbath, he would ask that this place be given. If it were said that the Sabbath was for religion only, he would answer that it was for humanity. To those who would say that if the reading rooms were once thrown open they could not be closed again if it proved injurious to leave them open, he would an- swer that we were not children and that the sense of the community could and would close them. Mr. Beecher here read a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia to the effect that the Mercantile Library of that city had now been opened on Sun- days for three years, with good results, and con- cluded by hoping that the opening of the reading rooms on the Sabbath would bring down blessings on the poorer classes. Resolutions were then adopted calling on the trustees of Cooper Institute, the Mercantile Library and the Astor Library to open the reading rooms on Sundays, and thanking Mr. Beecher for his eloquent lecture. The Chairman of the meeting announced that im the fall of the year Cooper Institute Reading Room would be open on Sundays, from two o'clock P. M. until ten o'clock P. M.
