on those fifteen years of constant war which’ Jeft Ireland a scene of desolation such as was mever witnessed in any Christian land. But the events of Elizabeth's reign were swept over with just a sketch which suggested rather than portrayed fhe misery and suffering to which Areland was .condemned under her rule. ‘Though Father Burke disclaimed any desire to wake up revengeful feelings by paint- ing too vividly the tyranny and oppression to which the Irish people had been subjected, it is difficult to imagine that any man loving justice and liberty could listen unmoved to tthe recital of robbery and outrage to which the irish were subjected at the hands of Mr. \de’s ‘‘civilizers.'’ Unlike Mr. Froude, the Irish advocate goes into the camp of his enemies to seek weapons of defence. Every quotation mpon which he appealed to the American people for a verdict against the policy of Eng- fand in his native land is drawn from English fources, and some of the most damaging evi- is furnished by State papers of England which Mr. Froude found it convenient to Sgnore. As the arraignment of England's ftreatment of Ireland proceeds the position of {Mr. Froude becomes more untenable, and the ynatural love of Americans for justice makes sympathize rather with the people who ve been the victims of fraud and violence with their oppressors. Tax Kuzp, Wounvep anp Missma.—After fierce battle at Boston of human skill, ery and persistence against the raging which in a few hours swept away prop- of enormous value, we get at last the ost important item in the vivid narrative of terrible catastrophe, which the careful ndents of the Hzratp have spread its readers. The return of the killed, ded and missing tells with mournful force its story of the sad Sunday. Three are as killed, while it is stated that five, identity is unknown, are buried under walls in one locality. Ten are num- as seriously wounded. Probably half of will be added to the dead list. Five are missing—in other words, dead, and ir bodies not recovered. So we have eigh- lives lost in this disastrous conflagra- fion—eighteen lives as precious as any on the parth, lives of young, vigorous, devoted men, fwho shrunk not from danger and death in the road of duty. What grief, what woe and peourning does this record suggest! Every true heart will respond to the sighs of the pereaved, every noble nature drop a tear over ithe dead and breathe a prayer for the recovery ef the wounded. While we pay the tribute of prief and sympathy we shall fail in proper prudence if we neglect to profit from the lesson o fatally emphatic by the prompt adoption of pill means calculated to prevent the recurrence of sack horrors. A Successor to SecreTary Fise.—it is ‘rumored from Washington that Mr. William iM. Evarts, the eminent lawyer, is to succeed Mr. Fish as Secretary of State in President (Grant’s Cabinet. Mr. Evarts has acknowl- -edged ability in his profession, but whether he fs fitted for the position for which he is now named isa question his own judgment will Woubtless enable him to decide. The general sentiment favors the selection of the Secretary of the Treasury from this city. It seems emi- gently proper that the metropolis of the Union phould be represented in the Cabinet through #hat office, and it will be unfortunate if a rivalry between Mr. Henry Clews and Mr. E. D. Morgan should deprive us of the position, especially as neithfer of these candidates would | be the choice of the merchants and financiers -of New York. Proviine ror Serriz.—Judge Settle, of North Carolina, the chairman of the last National Convention of the republican party, ‘who was defeated for Congress in the State lection, is to be consoled by a seat on the ‘bench of the Supreme Court of the United Btates. This will be an ample recompense for the former disappointment, and, considering the value of the position, it is fortunate for Judge Settle that he did not run for Congress ‘at the general election in November, when General Grant’s personal popularity would Yhave dragged him to success.

INDIA. Viceregal Visit of State to the City of Bombay— Brilliant Reception and Preparation for a Gorgeous Native Asiatic Salutation. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. BomBay, Nov. 14, 1872, His Excellency Lord Northbrook, Viceroy of the Empire of India, is now visiting Bombay for the first time. On his arrival in the city he had a most brilliant reception. His Lordship will hold a public audience on Saturday, when many of the Indo-Asiatic Sov- ereigns and Princes will be received. Great preparations are making for the ceremony, which will be accompanied by all the gorgeous display usual on sach occasions in the territory of the Anglo-Indian Empire. It is expected that the Viceroy will remain about @ week in Bombay, and then go to Puna for a few days, and thence via Nagpur ana Jabalpur to Cal- cutta, Conciliation by the British Crown a Necessity for Native Indian Content. Lord Northbrook’s visit to and reception in Bom- bay, with his resolve for affording a brilliant au- dience to the native princes of the surrounding and neighboring territories results toavery great extent from the necessity which just now exists for English conciliation in that direction. Many of the Indian princes, who are called England's “allies,” complain that her political agents assume a posi- tion in their States different from the position originally intended in the treaties, or sannads, made with the British government. In these trea- ties they agreed to receive British representatives at their Courts, but there was no authority given, they alleged, to such representatives to interfere 2 the ‘alien administration or private affairs of the chiets. Some of the European political oMcers have no sympathy with the natives. They dislike them and keep aioof from them, knowing little of their man- ners and customs and etiquette, and in some cases only speaking their language in @ sort of khid- mai patots, ‘The Indian sovereigns and chiefs complain :— First—They cannot get to the ear of the head of the government. They, to use one of their own expressions, ‘cannot speak with their own lips and hear with their own ears.” Second—They feel the position assumed by the political agent to be one of command, instead of one of friendship. Their ministers or subordinates are shown favor by him, and they are supported by his influence. ird—Their private affairs are pried into witha id degrading curiosity. Vourth—The fauits found in their character or administration by the political agent are published the government, without any opportunity being given to them of rebutting the accusations or ai- lording explanation. Pith ere is too much Interference in all matters of their administration. There is a push- ing and forcing changes, whether reforms or not, which ought to be done gradually, but which, done ag at present, create fear and discontent.’ In a word, we are raising distrust and dislike where we should have gained confidence and ood will, STORM IN STRALSUND. Whirl of a Terrible Gale in the Prussian Pomeranian Fortifications. Storm, Fire and Flood on the West Shore of the Strait—Sudden Inundation and Loss of Property and Life, TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALO, ~Tonpox, Nov. 14, 1872.

He was instantly interrupted by exclamations from all sides, and it was some time before the agitation of the Chamber subsided. Political Caucus and Plan of Party Fusion—Extra Legislative Reclama- tion to the Preside: PARIS, Nov, 14, 1872, A meeting of the Deputies of the Assembly belonging to the Right Wing and Right Centre was held to-night. A coalition of the conservative factions in the Assembly was agreed to, and a resolution was adopted declaring that while they recognize the impossibility of a restoration of the monarchy, they hold that the tssue lies between the conservatives and the radicals; demanding pledges from the President that he will adhere to @ strictly conservative line of policy; and warning him that he can no longer have their support should he refuse to give the assuranves required, KING AMADEUS, ctl The Monarch of Spain Invalided by Illness.

The Hpoca still fears the occurrence of serious troubles among the men engaged there, and urges the government to “take precautions for the instant suppression of any disloyal sentiment.” It is feared that there is an understanding be- tween the men in the arsenal and disaffected par- ties in the city of Cadiz.

It was resolved by the people to ald their brethren who have been stricken in the English Boston's great American namesake, and subscrip- tions for that purpose are now being secured. Measures for the relief of the Boston sufferers are also being taken in London. It was at first suggested that all subscriptions should be placed in the hands of Mr. Moran, United States Chargé d’Affaires in England, to be sent to Boston, but the merchants have expressed a de- sire toremit direct to that city the amounts they may subscribe. Messrs. Baring Brothers, Drexel, Morgan & Co. and several other firms have already instructed their American agents to contribute to the relief of the people in Boston.

Nibio’s has not opened as soon as was expected, but it is not likely that the new spectacle will be delayed much more than a week longer. The début of a Boston tenor is announced for the pepular concerts of Association Hall on Saturday. We have been told that he is unusually fine. A sky will be one of the adornments of Fechter's stage. It is constructed on.a new principle, is dome-like in shape and movable at pleasure. In addition to the Shakspearian entertainments atthe theatres next week will be the readings of “Hamlet” and “Othello,” by the veteran actor, Ed- win Forrest, at Steinway Hall, on Tuesday and Fri- day evenings. Shakspeare seems to have some friends left. Aside from Miss Neilson’s acting—which, it is ex- pected, is to be among the chief features of the Winter—one of the charms of the revival of “Romeo and Juliet” at Booth’s will be found in the delight- ful scenery prepared for Mr. Edwin Booth’s firat season as Romeo in his new theatre. Miss Kate Bateman, with a full company of Eng- lish artists, will arrive here in a couple of weeks, She will appear about the 5th of January in her new play of “Medea.” ‘Medea’ is an adaptation from the French, written in blank verse, and in three acts. Some of the situations in the piece are said to be very effective and novel. A number of theatrical people are aaxious to do something for Boston. Mr. Maurice Neville is to give a lecture on dramatic art at the Cooper In- stitute; Ada Wray offers her services with her piece, “Whose Wife,” and Signor Blitz writes from Pittsburg saying he will assist at any entertain- ment undertaken in this city in aid of the sufferers. All this may be well enough, but Boston appears to be tess anxious than some of the people willing to aid her. Mr. Peter Gilsey and Mr. Daty, of the new Wind- sor House, it is understood, intend building a new opera house uptown. They consulted with a vete- ran in opera house construction the other day, and he advised them to fill the house with boxes, to be sold in fee simple, and not by the night or season. Hereafter people can say in their wills, “I will and bequeath my opera box to my son when he comes of age, and also a white elephant, which 1 direct my executor to procure for him."

A Man Shot and mortally Wounded by a New York Ruffian in, ® Barroom—Escape of the Murderer “Oh, My God, Am I Going to Die This Way?” A few minutes after tweive @°lock this morning |” two police officers were seen rux'ting down New- ark avenue to Police Headquarters: {0 Jersey City, They did not halt to satisfy the curfo.Sity of those who stood and watched them in th® Streets, but hastened to make & report the mos; serious that falls to the lot of am ofli- cer, “Sergeant,” said one of them (Omlcer Pease), half out of breath, addressing Sergeant Lee, “there isa man shot at Roche’s, cormer of Henderson and Steuben streets.” ‘This was the meagre yet significant summary of & deliberate murder perpetrated when most of the citizena were slumbering. ‘The streets were almost deserted, but the announcement that a murder was committed in their midst is one which strikes the law-abiding peopie of Jersey City with terror. They have not yet learned to become accustomed to midnight assassins, Within fifteen minutes after the alarm was given fully two hundred persons collected in the neighborhood where the bloody scene was.en- acted. Officer Davis, of the Second pre- cinct, was the first to respon to the call, and he was followed by Officer Dalton, of the Firat precinct, after whom came four officers at the same moment. They found a man lying senseless on the floor of abarroom. They looked around, but could not see the aggressor. “He has gone; he ran across the railroad,” said & voice from the outside. Two of the officers pur- sued, but they did not overtake the perpetrator of the murder, The following particulars of the murder were fathered from Mr. Patrick Roche, who keeps & quor store at the corner of Henderson and Steu- ben streets :. About elve o'clock three men, Michael Dogherty, John Doris and Thomas Donnellan, came into my place. They were disputing about some row which took place between them outside, and about which I know nothing. Donnellan, whom I have known to be @ peaceable. good-natured kind of fellow, accused Doris with striking him out- side, when Doris replied that he did so and would do 80 again. ‘This was sald in an aggravating tone, and Donnellan gave Doris a slap on the jaw. No sooner had he done so than Doris drew out a pis- tol and fired at Donnellan. The thimg came sosud- denty that I was thunderstruck for a moment. Donnellan cried out, “I am shot,” but he did not fail. He leaned against the counter for about five minutes and then he quietly sat down. laying his hands upon his stomach. Atter a few moments more he fell back, saying, ‘Ob, my God! am I going to die this way ?’ or something to that effect. The police had come in by tiis time.” Donnellan was taken away on a stretcher to the City Hospital. The ball took effect in the abdomen close to the navel, “the very place,” remarked an omMicer, “where Jim Fisk was shot.’’ No blood oozed from the wound, and it was concluded that internal hemorrhage was setting in. He was sinking so bla that it is hardly possible he is living when these lines are before the readers of the HERALD. Donnelian resided at 185 Bay street, was nine- teen years of age, a native of Ireland, and unmar- ried. He had been in this country about eight years. For his years he was a very stalwart man. ‘The cries of his mother and brother on the streets soon aiter the occurrence excited the commisera- tion of all who were abroad in the neighborhood of the occurrence, Dogherty, who keeps a barroom at the corner of Railroad avenue and Henderson street, was ar- rested and locked up. Doris, the alleged murderer, was his bartender. As soon as he fired the fatal shot he decamped, like all cowardly assassins, and he ad = not been arrested up to one o’clock, He belongs to @ notorious gang of ruMans in the Fourteenth ward of New York. He had followed Donnelian and quarrelled with him during the evening, and when he entered Roches’ barroom he scemed in- clined to renew the quarrel, He is about twenty- five years of age.

The HERALD correspondent calied on Senator Trumbull to interview him on the recent election and probable future operations of the liberals, as well as to obtain Mr. Trumbull’s views on the ap- proaching Senatorial contest. Mr. Trumbull was leaving town at that precise moment for a week's absence, and was therefore unabie, he said, ‘to grant the interview,” and added :— “If it were otherwise convenient I should hardly be willing to go before the country on public ques- tions till we are further removed from the excite- ment of the late canvass and the people are in a frame of mind more calmly to consider the future.” PREPARING FOR IMPEACHMENT.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 14, 1872. The Chronicle says the steamer St, Mary's, which left Memphis for Cincinnati Jast night with 236 bales of cotton and ten passengers, struck a stump near Morris Landing at half-past nine at night, tearing a hole between her wheel and stern, caus- ing her to sink in less than ten minutes in eighteen feet of water. When she struck she was headed for the bar opposite and ran upon it, but her bow swung around and she floated off and down the river neariy @ mile to Brandywine Bar, upon which she now lies. As far as known there were no lives lost, her pas- sengers pete core safely to the bar and thence ashore in a lifeboat; but one of the firemen is miss. ing. The steamer City of Chester passed soon after she settled and carri the passengers to Cairo. The St. Mary's was valued at $36,000, and was in- sured in Cincinnati offices for $16,000. The vessel can probably be raised. The Latest Details. Mempuis, Tenn., Nov. 14, 1872, The full cargo of the steamer St. Marys consisted of 325 bales of cotton; 350 bales of rags; fifty tons of old iron, and sundries. Two hundred and cignhty- seven bales of cotton were fully insured. The Pees ai spent the night on the bar with a gale blowing and the thermometer at 30 degrees, DISASTERS ON LAKE MICHIGAN.

The company has arranged that this vesagl shall be followed by others of the line at fortnightly intervals, or as the requirements of the trade may demand. This route of service will be appreciated by many tourists who prefer the quict southern route to Italy, as it affords capital oppor- tunities to reach her sunny climes, and, spending the Winter there, return home in the early Spriag or Summer, via Scotland, Germany, France or England.

The Moon’s Disc Enshadowed',by the Earth—Third Eclipse of 1872—A Cloudy Night, but the Phenomenon Visible to the Naked Eye. Astronomers and those who take delight im noting the various phases of the solar systems were much disappointed last evening when they saw that the sky was cloaked from view by dense masses of cloud that bid fair to exclude from view the lunar eclipse promised us by astrologers and the compilers of almanacs, True, the phenome- non expected was nota very wonderfal one, the eclipse being a partial one—very partial to the moon—for the shadow of the earth’ was’ only to darken one thirty-third part of that luminary’s disc. The cause of eclipses is too’ wellknown to need lengthy mention, but, for the benefit of those who have not studied the mysterious MOVEMENTS OF CELESTIAL BODIES, it may be as well to explain that a lunar eclipse is caused by the passage of the moon into the shadow of the earth. This phenomenon can never occur unless the chaste goddess of night is in the full majesty of her bloom, and only then when she is nearly in the plane of the orbit of our own ter- restrial sphere. Eclipses are not confined to the sun and. moon by the passage of the earth in ite orbit alone, but by the transits of such planets as Venus, Mercury, &c. The term “eclipse” is derived from @ Greek verb signifying “to fail” or “te leave’’—iiterally a defect or failure. Eclipses-of the stars Cte by the moon are termed occulta- tions, and are as highly valuable to science as the enshadowments of the sun and moon, being of great use in the determination of longitudes at sea, as the echpse will give Greenwich time for direct compere with the time at the ship. ‘The clouds broke away as night advanced. Luna. beamed down her rays, and precisely at three minutes past midnight the shadow of the earth touched the upper limb of the moon, which nine minutes later was at her full. At twenty-three minutes it twelve one thirty-third portion of the moon’s diameter was darkened, and then the dusky veil was slowly withdrawn, until, at forty-three min- utes past twelve, Luna’s bright face once mora one out unsullled by the shadow of this tainted THE ECLIPSE was only of forty minutes’ duration, and was the third of the tour eclipses due this year—the first, a lunar, occurring on May 22, was invisi- ble in ‘the United States, "as was _ alsa. the second, @ solar, on the Sth of June; the fourth is an annular eclipse of the sun on.No- vember 30, which residents in America will also be debarred the Piteptent of witnessing. Among semi- barbarous and uncivilized nations @ holy horror of eclipses is entertained. The Chinese when they see darkness spreading itself over the face of the earth are prone to imagine that A CELESTIAL CONFLICT is Proceeding, that Fan-qui—the evil one—is endeavoring to devour the sun, and, with innate eagerness to ‘take a hand in” on either side, they create a terrible commotion by beating gongs, firing gingals and crackers and raising a general demoniacal racket until the sun gilds once more their mosques, and the astonished birds come forth again from the roosts to which they flew while laboring under the delusion that night was coming on apace.
