alist cause is strong in the Assembly, it is weak in the nation, and that President Thiers is too wise to throw away the support of the republican party, which grows every day stronger. The Itali at Castle Garden. On Monday nearly five hundred destitute ‘Ttalians were landed at Castle Garden. They ‘were preceded last month by about double that number, another half thousand came last night, and still others are on the way. Most of them have no luggage and nothing with which to encounter a had Winter beyond the scanty clothes which cover them. They do not know our language, and are grossly ignorant. Many of them ‘are under the impression that they have reached South America, having been enticed ‘to leave their homes by bright pictures of life amid abundance of tropical products which require almost no labor. What money they could raise has been exhausted in purchasing ‘what they supposed to be passage tickets to the Southern Eden, instead of which they are jhere—cold, hungry and destitute. Our author- ities are puzzled how to provide for these ‘unfortunates, who have been duped by sharks at home. A portion have been transferred to Ward's Island, whence parties have been sont to work in various directions. [esterday the new-comers presented a pitiable Bight as they huddled about the stoves in the immigrant depot or strolled in groups through the lower part of the city in search of homes. #trangers, without money, friends or trades, what chance have they to support themselves ? Jn the end they must all be cared for by the Commissioners of Charities, who will feed and shelter them till work can be found which they can be taught to do. It looks as though the Italian government is blamable in allow- ing or promoting this cruel transfer of desti- tute men from their own sunny homes hither at this cold season to suffer, unless relieved by charity. They cannot leave the peninsula without official notice. If they are sent here or allowed to come by official direction a fearful responsibility rests upon the authors of the outrage. Tue Hagrronp Times (democratic) thinks the rascalities of certain politicians during the past few years will astound the land if they are ever fully revealed. That they never will be so long as the Bone Squash Diabolo com- anittees, with whitewash brush in hand, stand xeady to plaster over the iniquities of men in jhigh places.

Eanty has written a letter in reply to General J. B.

Tae Nommnation of Judge Orr as Minister to Russia is favorably received by the press generally. Whether he will accept, if con- firmed by the Senate, remains to be seen.

TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Panis, Dec. 11, 1872. The French citizen national movement, having for its object the holding of a general Parliamen, tary election, is increasing, and the number of peti- tions asking for a dissolution of the National As- sembly, which are circulating for signatures throughout Paris and the several departments of the Republic, has also increased largely within @ few days and is still progressing.

MANIFESTO TO THE NATION FROM A POWERFUL CEN- TRE OF MOVEMENT. A manifesto signed by MM. Gambetta, Cremieux, Louis Blanc, Quinet and eighty-six members of the Extreme and Moderate Left is published to-day. It demands a pacific and legal dissolution of the National Assembly as the only means of averting fresh dangers to the country, as the division in the Assembly renders the government powerless, The address expresses strong disapproval of the pres- sure now being exerted to bring about disorder, which, as has been proved, can only result in ad- vantage to the enemies of France. The new elec- tions will constitute a compact majority in the As- sembly, securing majorities therein to the admin- istration of President Thiers and for the establish- ment of republican institutions. The right of pe- tition to the Assembly is claimed to be inviolable, for an attack upon it would be an attack upon the Principle of universal suffrage.

The Question of Dissolution Debated in the Assembly—Animated Action of Gambetta in Appeal to the Right. VERSAILLES, Dec, 11, 1872, In the National Assembly to-day M. Gaslonde ex- pressed the hope that the Assembly would not dis- solve before it had secured the complete liberation of French territory, The Deputies of the Right submitted @ proposi- tion assigning Saturday next for the discussion of the petitions for the dissolution of the Assembly. M. Gamoetta thereupon ascended the tribune and, speaking with great fire and decision, sup- Ported the proposal. He concluded by saying to the Right, on behalf of the Left, “Our impatience for the discussion equals yours,” The Assembly adopted the motion and fixed the debate for Saturday, amid profound agitation. Members of the Left have since expresset re- gret at their precipitation, as it is improbable that the Left Centre will support the movement for a dissolution, which can, it is now believed, scarcely obtain two hundred and fifty votes.

Alexander Donaldson, George Bentley and a man named Kelley, laborers on the Albany and Susquehanna Raliroad, were killed by the caving in of a gravel bank at Usbora Hollow. AMUSEMENTS. Lucea German Opera. ‘The firat and, we imagine, the last experiment of the manager of Madame Lucca in German opera took place last night at the Academy of Music. ‘The opera was ‘‘The Merry Wives of Windsor,” a peculiar kind of burlesque which Mr. Otto Nicolat nce inflicted upon the bard o1 Avon, and which is Periodicaily visited upon the American public in those unknown regions geographically located in the Stadt Theatre. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” in its original form is not exactly what a manager nowadays would care to place on the stage (poor Hackett being dead), but in its German shape it ts exceedingly funny, although not in the sense @ Shakspearian scholar would desire. The music is fruitless and insipid, except in the duet, “Wie frew’ ich mich,” and the concluding trio. Madame Lucca, however, in the rove of Mra. Ford, made such @ success as few Would expect from an opera of this kind, She dis- remarkable talents as a comedienne, some- what like those which have made her impersona- tion of Auber’s Zerlina so popular, Mrs. rd, in ber hands, as 8 very, charming role, but it was hot the Mrs. Ford of Shakspeare, It was a pecu- Marly German impersonation, full of the hearty, broad, honest Teutonic humor that may be foun in German peeente, Su no one could recognize in it the real Mrs. Ford. The horrible mutilation of Shakspeare's comedy, which ia the distinguishing feature of the libretto, debars any criticiam of the Mrs, Ford of Shakspeare as a singer. Therefore Madame Lucca may be credited with having mado the most of a very ungrateful role and having sung the-music quite charmingly. Mrs. Pi was repre- sented by Miss Antonia Henne, who sang very well, but aoted like a débutante, Her costume was simply ridiculous for such a rd/e. Mr. Herrmanns “was tne Falstaff on the occasion, and, although he was in good voice, he gave unmistakable evidence Of not possessing the first idea of how the fat Knight should look or act, “Sweet Anne Page’? found a tolerable representative in Miss Clara Doria, and Mr. Vierling was sufficiently demon- strative and out of tune to give an idea of the lous Ford, Mr. Graf was terribly amateurish as nton, and the unappreciated Reichardt struggled bravely with the rdle of Slender. But the crown- ing glory of the te was Weinlich, who essayed Doctor Caius. To see hin, even without hear- ing him, @ revelation. it persona, with was Simon Pare Punch in the chapeau et che of General Boum, the cloak of Mephistopheles and the tof the King’s jester, And then the entriloquial in its profundity and rugged in its phrasing, it was a source of infinite amuse- ment. To complete the picture we have only to mention the frantic endeavors of the conductor, ir. Carlberg, which were sufficient to damp any aapenee at humor in which the people on the stage ht indulge. He labored assiduously and ecarn- estly to crush any unauthorized attempt on the By of the principal singers to make themselves eard. With the terrible avalanche of sound that he rathi hurled against them it was hard for any one to be heard, except in those delightful in- terludes in which the melltfuous Teutonic dialogue broke upon the ear, after Mr. Carlberg laid down his baton. The next performance of opera takes place on Saturday afternoon, when Miss Kellogg sings for the last time the rdle of Leonorain “Ii Trovatore.” Musical and Theatrical Notes, ‘The plot of ground at the corner of Third street and the Bowery, in part occupied as a marble yard, has passed into the hands of the Dry Dock Savings Bank. This precludes tne possibility of a new Ger- man theatre on what was the favorite site with that Part of our population. It ts hinted that Mr. Charles Foster, of the Bowery Theatre, is engaged in writing a drama, in which Colonel Tennie C. Claflin will make her début. The Story is that she has suggested the leading sensa- tional effects and that Mr. Foster had visited Mrs, Woodhull and her sister in Ludlow Street Jail to confer with them on the matter. Mr. Daly next week gives two old comedies—“A Bold Stroke for a Husband” and “Married Life’ — ‘With 9 cast in each in which no actor who appears fm the one play takes a part in the other. The par- pose of this may be to show the strength of the Fifth Avenue company. Mr, Lester Wallack, we hear, is playing a most successful engagement in Washington. This being his firat season as an actor in the inferior cities, his success is another proof that a reputation made in this city may be deeper and broader than the fame acquired by “starring” throughout the country. There is an impression that Mr. W. J. Florence, the popular comedian, who is now playing in Rochester, will join the managerial force of the Union Square Theatre at the conclusion of his ap- proaching engagement at Booth’s. Mr. Florence has the peculiar facuity of making a proper dispo- sition of the material of a company, which rare talent was advantageously displayed in his memo- rable production of “Caste” at the old Broadway Theatre and of “The Ticket-of-Leave Man” at the Winter Garden. BOARD OF EDUCATION. Rafas G. Beardsley the New Commis- stoner—Report of the City Superinten- @ent—Resolutions on the Death of Horace Greeley. The Board of Public Instruction met yesterday afternoon at their rooms, Elm and Grand streets, Bernard Smyth presiding. A full Board was in attendance for the first time within a year. Mr. Rufus G. Beardsley, appointed a Commissioner by Mayor Hall, occupied the seat recently vacated by Judge Van Vorst. A communication was received from the trustees of the Seventh ward, stating that the sum of $2,000, appropriated for the repairs of Grammar School No. 2, was not sufficient in the present emergency, @ new building being needed, owing to the increasing attendance at the school. Re- ferred to Committee on Buildings. The report of the City Superintendent showed that during the month of November forty-five schools were visited and 454 classes examined. The instruction in 264 classes was found to be excellent, in 170 |, in nineteen fair and in one bad. The disctpime in all but ten was creditable. The num- ber of pupils on register on the 1st inst. was 101,304, and the average number of pupila in attendance during November was 91,356. The Committee on Bylaws was authorized to ad- vertise for proposals for printing for the current ear, x It was resolved that no school be held on Christ- mas Eve, and that the time thus lost be made up at the end of the session. Dr. Williamson was appointed professor of Latin in the Evening High School, Professor Burnett to be thereby relieved of excessive labor, his duties now being reduced to two evenings a week at the ordi- nary compensation. A resolution to sproint an assistant superinten- dent for the special duty of supervising and direct- ing musical instruction in the grammar and pri- mary schools was laid over. A recommendation that the salaries of Professors Redfield, Schlegel and Gillet, of the Normal College, be increased $500 a year each, was laid over. The committee appointed to draw up a preamble and set of resolutions on the death of Horace eee reported, through Dr. Holland, the follow- ing :—~ Whereas it becomes those who represent the publie in any important capacity and trust to recognize with ap- propriate concern all notable events that relate to the ublic life and to give expression to the sentiments which they excite; and whereas the loss of a great private citi- zen Is a great public calamity; therefore Hesolyed, That the Board of Public Instruction of the city of New York regard the recent decease of the Hon.

Boston, Dec. 11, 1872. In the Massachusetts House to-day Mr. Hoyt, of Athol, offered the following preambie and resolu- tion, which was referred to the Committee on Fed- eral Relations :— Whereas the Hon. Charles Sumne, a Senator trom Mas- sachusetts, has proposed, on the floor of the United States Senate, to erase trom the flags of the Republic and trom the register of the army all inscriptions, mementos and tokens of the battles and victories of the Union arms in the late war of the rebellion— Resolved, That this attempt to degrade the loyal sol diers of the nation and their grand achievements mets ith our unqualified condemnation and merits the dis- Tpproval of the people of this Commonwealth thus Tis represented 08. ns be ente! full upon SOUTH £AROLINA TROUBLES. Lee ARES Senator Klect\\Patterson and General Worthington Bevore the Courts Charged Bribery—Both Give Bail to Appear—A Disgraceful Seenc in the Lower Brench of the Legislature—Coffee and Pistols Called For. CoLumsra, 8. C., Dec. 11, 1872, The cases of bribery against Senator John J. Patterson, elected yesterday, and his friend, Gen- eral H. G. Worthington, were heard before Justice R. H. Kirk to-day. There were present many of the friends of the parties besides the usua! street politicians and rabble, but the proceedings were orderly, There are three charges of bribery and the attempting of tt against Patterson, the amM- davits stating that such attempts had been made upon the signers of them being filed by M. S. Miller, a white member from Fairfield county, and H. H. Eltison, a colored member from Abbeville county. In one case Patterson was bound over for his appearance to answer in the Circuit Court on his own personal recognizance in the sum of $500. Upon the second charge he gave bond in the sum of $5,000, and in the third case $10,000, Mayor John Alexander, of tis city; White and the colored Postmaster, C. M. Wilder, are the bondsmen. General Worthington gave bond tn the sum of $5,000 in each of the cases against him, the President of the South Carolina Bank and Trust Seupeny, and J. J, Patterson going upon the bonds. There is no doubt existing in the minds of the majority of the people here that Patterson wii take his seat in Congress, Many usually well in- formed persons assert that Congressman B. Hihott, one of the defeated candidates for the position, is the party really standing behind the proceedings, Others assert to the contrary, and it is a difficult task to ascertain who did inaugurate the proceedings, The aMidavits, however, are “point blank” and signed by the members named, charging the crimes slated, Many people also believe the matter will never come to trial. ‘The Legislature met to-day in joint assembly and announced the election of Patterson, The election to fill the vacant judgesnip of this circuit, caused by the election of Judge Milton as Attorney General, will take place on Friday. It has an indirect political bearing upon the present exciting proceedings, as the cases of Patterson and Worthington, if they come up at all, will be heard in that circuit, Attorney General Milton, formerly the judge of the circuit, is a strong friend and has advocated earnestly the claims of Con- gressman Elliott for United States Senator. The future is loaded with proceedings that can be none other than interesting. A disgraceful scene occurred between two col- ored members in the lower branch of the Legis- lature to-day, the result of an insinuation pri- vately made that one of them had recetved a bribe to vote for Patterson for Senator TN. ‘The first intimation the members had of the atfair was the noise of heavy blows falling on the head of William L. Thomas, from Colleton, and delivered by Hamilton, a member from the adjoining county of Beaufort. The blood flowed from the wounds of the assaulted party freely. As quickly as he could disengage himself from his seat he grappled with his assailant, and in a moment at least a@ dozen members were engaged in a rough and tumble squabble to keep them apart. All de- bate on other subjects was stopped, and it was with the utmost diMculty a general row was pre- veuted, as many outsiders rushed into the bar of the house. The members on the minority side viewed the scene with the most evident disgust. At the close of the day’s proceedings pistols and coffee were spoken of, and there may be @ duel very Biaek in the annals of the history of the Palmetio. 2. Snow to the depth of three inches has fallen, and the weather is very cold. YAOHTING NOTE.

EES atin ats INSURANCE. ” ‘The undersignea, policy-holders of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, call to the attention of the trustees the fact that @ difference of opinion exists among prominent actuaries as to the effect upon the interests of present policy-holders of the proposed new departure in the conduct of the affairs of the company and the disposition of ita accumulated funds. They also call to their attention the fact that in the opinion of three eminent actuaries the reduc- tion of premiums as proposed 1s “unjust to exist- ipg policy-holders and prejudicial to their rights and interests and deserving our unqualified disap- proval.’” They also suggest to the trustees that any ex- perimental revolution by them (of doubtful legal- ity) in the system of the company’s business, and the use and hazard by them of the funds accumu- lated by the present policy-holders for the security of new obligations inuring to the benefit of new members, are calculated to shake the confidence of the community in a direction where, by every means, confidence should be strengthened and not weakened. They protest against such an unjustifiable exer- cise by the trustees of the functions of their office. Signed— 8. IRENAEUS PRIME HENRY ©. BOWEN B. A. QUINTARD. R_ HANDY NATHANIEL HAYDEN. HE, .
