A “SMALL SCALE’ OUTBREAK, WITH 4 NUMBER OF PERSONS KILLED. The people were soon informed by magisterial and military announcement that the insurgent movement was on “avery small scale’ and that it was speedily suppressed by the government forces, not, however, according to the oficial state- ment, until twenty persons had been killed and ‘wounded. “STAMPED OUT” AND SUBSIDED. When these solemn facts became generally known the municipal excitement subsided and the city has been quiet since the publication. MINISTERIAL ESTIMATE OF THE MOVEMENT AND ITS opyECT. During the session of the Cortes yesterday Sefior Martos made an announcement of the attempted insurgent outbreak. He said ‘the government attached no importance whatever to the move- ment, which was probably incited by the opponents of the new loan, with the idea of effecting its nego- (lation adversely to a Treasury success."

The Directors of the Industrial Exhitition Com- pany had another dinner last night at the St. James Hotel. Among those present were the Governor elect, General Dix; General Diven, Rich- ard Schell, Chauncey M. Depew, Erastus Brooks, Samuel Sloan, General Lloyd Aspinwall, Senator Tiemann, Senator Benedict, John F. Henry, William H. Webb and Paul Spofford. The dinner must have been avery good one, as it took the gentiemen who had gathered together very nearly two hours toget throngh withit. The speechifying followed the appearance of the champagne glasses. It had been intended that General Diven should deliver the Statistical and financially argumentative speech of the dinner, but he, somehow, could not stomach the immensity of the figures, and delivered in its stead a neat little address, calling the attention of the gentlemen to the advantages New York city would gain by THE SUOCESS OF TH ENTERPRISE they had in view. At his request Mr, McMurdy read the speech, which the General confessed the former had prepared for nim. It is brimful of information, that it is claimed all good men with a plethora of this world’s goods ought to be mind- ful of, and, while being mindful, act generously ac- cordingly, Among other things, the speech states that— Tho object of the company is to purchase land and erect on the same a building which shall be used as a perpetual Worid’s Fair, Trade Mart, Gaden of Plants and popular Art Museum. The city of New York could afford to curry out the objects nere set forth asa city, and would be amply repaid. ‘The people of New York could afford to spend millions of dollars In such objects, and would be amply repald in the increase 6 and wealth and civilization which such variably bring. But, aside from these high motives, there is a reason which is stronge! has done more in the past, and will do more in tuture to consummate large projects, and that is the love of gain. Tn short, if this enterprise is carried out It will accom: plish this tor those who aid and assistit. It will make money; tt will increase trade and commerce; it will tend elevate and civilize the people ‘of New York and of the world; it will digmity e labor. children of ‘al! those that in any Way Assist itwill po with pride and honor to the work which their for fathers planned and executed. In 1870, the Industrial Exhibition Company contracted for all of the land bounded between Ninety-eighth and 102d streets and Third and Fourth avenues, Gyre 4 in all 85 lots. The contract price ot this land was $1,700,000; ),000 has been paid. ‘There remains to be paid $1,500,000. 1tis pro- posed that the balance due on thie land Shall be paid with ihe money ratsed for the sale of stock. ‘To do this it is necessary that there be sold $1,875,000 of stock at eighty cents on the dollar; this will net the company $1,500,000 in cash. This land will have cost the parties owning the same. $4,700 per lot. It was worth, in 1570, taking the opinions of good judges of realestate, ‘at leastthat amount, In the wo Years and more that’ the land has been held it has increased some in value, and good judges of real estate say now that it is worth not less than $6,000 per lot, which would make the 35) lots worth $2,130,000, The prevailing opinion of real estate men is that this would sell for $7,500 per lot, or $2,052,500. Taking the lowest valuation ‘put on this'iand by any one, and there isa roilt of $490,000; taking the highest valuation and there sa proiit of $22.00) in the carrying out of this contruct alone. It nas been asked why the contract for the land could not be extended beyoud the present limit, v February 1, 1s73. ‘The reason ts sunple—the owning ‘the land can get, without a doubt, $430, tham the Industrial £xhibition Company are called on to pay. Those persons who purchase the first $22 of this stock become the absolute owners of this valuable tract of land, and they cun decide among themselves whether théy will sell the same, or whether they will erect a Crystal Palace. Popular phrase has dubbed the proposed building a Crystal Palace. The common accepiation of this name is a light, airy structure of glass and iron, struction trom different causes. ‘The bul grected by the Industrial Exhibition Company’ shout be substantial and fireproof, and should be built in suc & manner as to be readily converted into dwelling houses or places of business. To provide tor a change in the uses of the building, as well as to make it the more at- tractive for the present purpose, as well as for economy in construction, the building should be 125 feet deep, and should be built eutirely around the gr: a und, 1 court in the centre. It should be five storie: it. Bach floor should be an open floor. This would give space 125 tect wide and 3,700 teet long for euch floor. ‘The court in the centre woul square, This court should be covered, The court could be used asa garden of plants and for places of amuse- ment, The four main floors would be an industrial exhi- bition and trade mart. ‘Th i gallery and m be twice the size of Madison t ¢ mand a public lib such a building o/ iron the iargest est included the erection of the most ima: the world, is $9,090,000, or an expense of $25,400 per lot. ‘This is thé largest’ cost. An iron building that will be more magnit! than any building of its kind in the world, and one that all the world would wish so see, can be erected for $7,000,000, which wou be an expenditure ‘of $20,000 per lot.

Then there is te be an art galler: muse Ubrary, ‘Those would occupy the top Huor. This the four main tloors of the building for exhibiti oses. It must be borne in mind that the company's en- Etrprise differs trom all ot its. predecessors, notin its essential character as an exhibition, but in its many ad- ditional features of great value. ‘They hav exhibitions, This company will do’ all they did, and will, in addition, make its exhibition building one’ vast traderoom or bazaar. Manufacturers, merchants and roducers will not only be allowed to exhibit their wares, Bur‘also to advertise and make sale of them ju the build: Ing, replacing thein with other goods, and thus securing & constant succession of novelties to interest visitors. ‘The same with artists who exhibit their pictures in the galleries; as fast as they sell one they will hang another, and go bring lovers of art again and again to the ex: hibition. There will be in the main building 1,574,400 square feet of space to be rented to those exhibitors who desire to make sales. Each floor will be open and the space occupied by an exhibitor simply enclosed by # rail, ihus atfording ample opportunity. lor Visitors who have no intention of purchasing to inspect articles on ex- hibition as closely as those who come to buy. Itis cal- culated that a space of 120 square feet would give all the accommodation which an ordinary exhibitor would re- quire. The company, t |, would able wo rent out no loss than thirteen thousand oe hundred and twenty which it proposes to charge at tne rate er an per square foot, It will also furnish everything requisite at moderate annual charges.

This would be profit, and would amount. annually to $1,974,400. It Js estimated that the number of visitors. to the exhibition — will average Perwus cach day. tho charge | of | admission ‘will be fifty cents for each person. Thus the daily income from this source will be $3,250, amounting in a year of 300 days to the large sum of $975,000. Then there will be ninety-six stores below, the main floor. of the builal each of which will be 25 feet wide, 32 feet high and 1 feet deep. The c any expects to be able to rent these tores at $1,009 cach, thereby adding $9%000 ‘more to the nual revenue, Itinust not be torgotten that in these estimates the large sum_ of $4,264,100, accruing trom the charges for gas, water, &c., has all been set aside to cover the running expenses of company, though probably ol hhird of it will be profit.

If they decide to go no further than the mere purchase of the land they can do so. Mr. McMuRpy stated that $395,000 had been sub- scribed since the nee had been paid for the land. Since the last rey ort tne following subscrip- tions had been made :—A, S. Diven, for himseif and others, $50,000; John A. Dix, $25,000; Edward Roberts, for himself and others, $25,000; Richard 000; Paul N. Spofford, $20,000; Samuel hard Kelly, $5,000, ‘John F. ‘y, 000; W. W. Raynor & Bro., $7,000; J.

Schell, Paul Spofford, M. 0. Roberts, Samuel Stoan, J. F. Henry, J.T. Jackson and J. F. Crosby, who were deputed to investigate the enterprise in every phase of its present condition and report at an adjourned meeting of the association to be held at the St. James Hotel on the 20th of this month. Speeches appropriate to the occasion were made also by General Dix, Erastus Brooks and Mr. Roberts. Mr. RICHARD SCHELL said that he was ready and willing to be one of a hundred each to give $17,500, the money to be paid down and given as a present to the company. Remarks were then made by John F. Henry, Senator Benedict and Samuel Sloan. General AsrINWALL had an idea that the figures were bandied about by the admirers of the enter- pe He did not think the money could be ratsed, 't was all very well to talk how much men nowadays owed to the city. He believed the city owed a great deal to the men of former days who had had the foresignt to invest their money in New York aud thus made it what it was. There was no parallel between this city and London and Paris, When one spoke of Crystal Palace institutions, He then went on to show that New York was so situ- ated, offered so many natural advantages for the masses of the pene to enjoy themselves, that the exhibition building idea could not be financially a success. This remark scemed to cast a rather de- pressing influence upon the geutiemen present, and appeared to bring the enthusiasm down to Tather a low mark. Mr. BRoOKs, in a sharp speech, dissented from General Aspinwall's views, WEATHER REPORT. WAR DaPantarent, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, WasHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 14—1 A. M.

Edwards Lester, a friend of Mr. Forrest. being requested by that great actor on the morn: ing of the day when he read “Othello” to call upon him, had occasion to know that Mr. Forrest had made a final disposition of his estate and effects in the following manner:—Mr. Forrest, this gentle- man avers, then stated that he had left all he was possessed of in the world, even to his library and his wardrobe, for an actor’s home as a lyceum of art, which should be sustained in Philadelphia as a perpetual Hisatrey that he had made over to the Corporation of Philadelphia sixty acres of gue within the limits of that city tor the bene- it of decayed and disabled actors and ac- tresses; that this perpetual school of art should be maintained for the education of the American people in elocution, and that the ground in question was free from all claims, debts and mortgages. Mr. Forrest showed Mr. Lester the will, explained the conditions 0! it, and stated that there shouid be a few millions of dollars set apart for the support of the institation which he intended to endow, Mr. Forrest further declared that he had been thinking of this project for a iong time, and had been making Provision ior it for more than thirty-five years; that he had chosen proper trustees for the éxecu- tion of the will; that the idea was not a new thing with him, but an old love of his life; that there should be in America a home tor those who had retired trom the stage after having honored the profession, Mr. Forrest’s desire was that the tn- stitution should be so amply endowed that there could be no question before the Courts about the title, nor by anybody in reference to the motive that prompted this life-long feeling of our great actor. ACCIDENTAL HOMICIDE. A Boy Accidentally Shoots His Father's Employe—A Policeman's Pistol the Weapon Used=—The Wounded Man Dead. Abont half-past six o'clock last evening Police OMcer Bennett, of the Eighteenth precinct, called at the harness-making and repairing estab- lishment of William Brown, on the corner of Third avenue and Twenty-fifth street, and leit a small- sized Smith & Wesson seven-shooter with the pro- prictor for the purpose of having a leather csse made for the weapon. The officer told Brown that the pistol was loaded, and asked whether it was not advisable to move the chambers, but Brown said it Matter, an placed the revolver upon a high shelf, About twenty minutes after seven o'clock James Brown, @ schoolboy aged eleven, son of the proprietor of the store, happened to come into the store and, unobserved, obtained possession of the pistol, According to this unhappy boy’s statement he was aeeut around’? with it when the weapon sud- denly eXploded and one of the balls it contained entered the head of Dahiel Manning, a young man aged twenty-eight, who was employed by Mr. Brown and who resided in Williamsburg, in the vicinity of Grand street. Jeremiah English, who was In the shop at the time of the occurrence, told Captain Cameron at the Kighteenth precinct sta- tion house that the boy levelled the pistol directly at the head of the injured man; but the the- ory entertained by Captain Cameron is that the shooting was entirely accidental. Directly the affair was reported an ambulance was despatched from the Bellevue Hospital to the scene of the accident, and the wounded man was conveyed with the utmost expedition to that asylum, A message was sent to the Central Omce for a Coroner, and in the interim the services of Deputy Coroner Cushman were also brought into requisition. Manning, however, was in a comatose state, beyond the power of speech, and the sur- ave it as his opinion that the bali had pene- trated the brain of the stricken man, paralysis had already ensued and his patient would expire be- fore morning. The ball had forced its way pe be- neath the right temple, missing the eye. Captain Cameron decided to release the witnesses, but con- sidered it advisable to hold young Brown until the result of the accident was fully determined. At a late hour last night we learned that Man- ning died at a quarter to twelve o'clock. ANOTHER MAN SHOT. of the Keepers and Shoots his Friend. During @ quarrel in Michael Dowell’s tquor saloon, corner of Thirty-second street and Tenth avenue, about three o'clock yesterday morning, Thomas Phiilips, of 445 West Thirty-first street, was shot in the right breast by John Gaivin, a keeper on Blackwell's Isiand.

John Harrington Takes Twenty-five Mixed Drinks to Give Him Courage to Shoot Julia Smith, a Young Girl of Nineteen Years, The Assassin Escapes and the Woman Not Expected to Live, At about five o’clock yesterday morning, when the wind was howling along the Bowery and the few stray wayfarers in the streets were hurrying home to anticipate daybreak, and while policemen were muflling their chins in the overcoat collars to keep warm, a thief, who is also a COURTESAN’S PROFESSIONAL PARASITE, named John Harrington, aged twenty-six years, shot an unfortunate concert saloon girl, named Julia Smith, aged nineteen years, who has tor two weeks BREN HIS MISTRESS. This poor girl, who will probably be dead ere this journal reaches its readers, was unfortunate enough to be possessed of the fatal gilt of beauty, and the story of her life is a8 tragic as that of Maud Merrill, who has been buried but a few days. TALI, FINELY FORMED, WITH ROSY CHEEKS, a profusion of black hair, dark eyes and long silken lashes, while living in Philadelphia about eighteen months since as @ domestic in a private family, she attracted the notice of some scoundrel who ruined her, and then her path was downward. From the first step to the iast the descent was rapid, until some months ago she came to work as a waiter girlin the Ocean concert saloon, in the lower part of the Bowery. ALWAYS MODRST AND RESERVED, even in her deep degradation, the girl was notice- able among her lost companions for her quiet taste in dress, her abhorrence of strong drink and coarse and protane language. While working in this den she became acquainted with a young man who follows the itinerant and rather doubtful life of a pedier of prize candy packages, and who goes by the name of “SHRENY BILLY.’ This fellow is a Jew, and is well known to the police. For some time this man kept the unfortu- nate girl's company and lived on her earnings. Then she became acquainted with a girl named Rosy Wilson, twenty-two years of age, who acted as a waiter girl in THE VILE DEN OF A CONCERT SALOON kept by Martin Stincke in the basement 152 Chat- ham street, a few doors north of Baxter street. Stincke and his den neea but brief description, He is an enormous German, with a brutal fé EYES HALF CLOSED WITH GLUTTONY. The animate and inanimate paraphernalia of his saloon are six wretched looking waiter giris, the bartefider, a asic tien'y | fiddler, a piano player, @ piano, four portraits of half-naked women about the bust,a dozen chairs, half adozen tables, some kegs of beer, some bottles of creosote and Jersey lightuing and a couple of dozen drinking glasses. ‘To this detestable spot Rosy Wilson induced the girl Smith to come three weeks ago. Julia Smith was pretty and her good looks and reserved ways would bring custom to the saloon AND PENNIES TO THE TILL of the paponens German, who weighs over three hundred and fifty pounds, The girl Wilson had @ man who lived with her in the furnished room house of a Mrs. Milhouse, at 61 Bayard street, on the first floor, for which Rosy Wilson patd $5 a week rent to her landlady, The lover of the girl Wilson is named John Forney. He is twenty-turee yeurs of age, and is by trade A TIN AND COPPERSMITH, when he is not a woman’s favorite. Forney has a friend named John Harrington, wao is a thief and a pimp. They both were in the habit ot hoo! the saloon of Stinke, and there Rosy Wilson made Julia Smith acquainted with Harrington about two weeks ago. This fellow immediately saw that through this giri he might be enabled to muke a living, and IB FORCED HIS ATTENTIONS ON HER. In this he was seconded by Rosy Wilson, who en- deavored to get the uniortunate girl acquainted with ali the bad characters who visited the saloon, Occasionally, and as iar as could be learned, at a late hour last night Julia Smith’s Jewish lover, “Sheeny Billy,” came to see her at the saloon against her wishes and this was the cause of trou- ble between her and THE THIEF HARRINGTON. Forney, who seems tobe a kind of @ good-na- tured fool, and who is ardently enamored of Rosy Wilson, was in the habit of making the rounds with Harrington, who has been careving. a four- barrelled pistol for some weeks past. t about seven o’clock on ‘thursday evening the two men met eo and Harrington, and from that hour until about five o’clock of yesterday morning they were drinking ‘Tom and Jerry” HOT SCOTCH WHISKEYS and cold lager beer. Forney had very little money, but Harrington had considerable money with him,, and he seemed to spend it freely enough. Let it be here stated that Rosy Wilson during the two weeks’ employment, of Julia Smith asa waiter girl in Stincke’s saloon had induced her to take a jur- nished room at the same house, 61 Bayard street, where the girl Wilson was stopping with Forney. Julia Smith’s room was on the TOP FLOOR, BACK, and she paid $3a week rent Jor it. Harrington roomed with her. On Thursday night Julia absented herself from her work asa waiter girl, although she paid two or three visits to the saloon “all dressed up,” as her companions last night stated to the reporter of the HERALD. By some strange coimcidence severai of Captain Kennedy’a police eficers noticed the man Harrington PROWLING AROUND WITH 1118 FRIEND Forney and up and down Chatham street, in the vicinity of the saloon. They had both been evidently drinking, but were not boisterous in their manner at all. Forney contessed to a HERALD reporter last evening In the Sixth precinct station house, tn the presence of Captain Kennedy, that they had each taken about twenty-five drinks apiece of not whiskey, ‘fom and Jerry” and lager beer. Some of their drinks were taken in the saloon of Stincke, in Chatham street, but the prin- cipal drinking was done in the RUM SHOP OF “BOSS THOMPSON,” corner of Baxter street and Chatham. Rosy Wilson was present in the Joon duripg the visits to Stincke’s o1 the two men. Harrington and Forney made also a number of visits to the house in Bayard street, and _ mm the evening they found Julia, Smith in Rosy Wilson’s room, which is more comfortabie than her own, on the top floor. ‘The poor girl seemed sad, and Harrington was UGLY, HALF DRUNK and very quarrelsome. He quarrelled with her about a common gold ring which he had given her, and which she had given subsequently to “Sheeny Billy,” {rom whom she took it back to transfer it to a policeman on the Bayard street beat. THIS RING SHE HAD IN HER POSSESSION again on Thursday night. We are coming to the end. Rosy Wilson returned to 61 Bayard street irom the concert saloon 152 Chatham sireet at about three o'clock yesterday morn- ing, and Julia Smith was then in her room. Forney and Harrington again made a visit to tho room of Rosy Wilson, and there were hot words be- tween Julia Smith and the thief Harrington, Again the two men left to get more liquor at “Loss Thompson's,” which is AN ALL-NIGHT HOUS! and ata little before five o'clock oi yesterday morn- ing both were pretty drunk. The thief Harrington told bis friend Forney that he intended to “scare Jule’ before he went to bed, He was in a bad—a paige mood. The morning was very cold and the hot Scotch whiskey had been doing its work. Forney was the soberest of the two men, THEY WENT DIRECT TO ROSY WILSON’S ROOM, @ large one and well furnished, on the first iloor. There was a large bed in her room and a lounge Rosy Wilson was lying asleep on the inside of the bed in her clothing. Julia Smith was lying asicep on the outside of the bed, with a red sacque and a black skirt on her, under the bedclothes. The noise of the entrance of the two men awoke the girls. Said Harrington to his mistress :— “Get up, you; I want to talk to you—you.”” The girl got up and sat on the lounge. Harring- ton drew a rocking chair to the side of the lounge and began to quarrel about the Jew, the policeman, and the rin, en her. “GO 70 BED IN YOUR OWN ROOM," aid poy. Wilson, sharply, from her position on her o Jack, take Julia up stairs In your own said Forney, in a boozy way, taking off his shoes and vest. @ devil was in the heart of Har- rington, and he drew a pistol and held it down in his right hand by his side towards the floor aa he sat on the rocking chair. Julla Smith kept talking with Harrington, he using very abusive language, and then, all at once he liited the four-barrelied Smith & Wesson pistol and DISCHARGED ONE OF ITS BARRELS full into the lungs of the unfortunate girl, who started up and sat bolt upright on the lounge for a moment, then making a plunge, she slid on to an. other chair and fell down on the floor. Forney and Kosy Wilson ran to help her, sprinkling water on her face and opening her bosom, which was Jull of blood. Harrington made another attempt to shoot, but was prevented by Forney, who ran between him and his victim. Then Harrington ran out, and it was hall an \ hour before they gave an alarm; but dually the alarm was given by Mra. Milbarne, th Jandlady. The ‘unfortunate girl was taken to the Park Hospital on a stretcher, and was at midnight dying by inche: Harrington has not yet been caught, but will be to-day, without doubt, as he is well known to Captain Kennedy and his oMcers, who would have had him ere this had an alarm been given at the proper time by the inmates of the house. It is not provable that the wretched girl can recover. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. Miss Neilson, the distinguished English actress, purposes giving a reading next week, the time and place to be designated hereafter, for the benefit of the young girls who suffered by the recent tre at the Fifth avenue Hotel. The object isin itself so worthy that it ought to insure a full house, and Miss Neilson during her engagement at Booth’s has shown an elocution so delightful that the occasion must prove one of the pleasantest en- tertainments of the season. Among the American actors now in England are Mr. Edgar Bruce, from ‘the principal theatres of the United States,” who is playing at the Brighton Theatre in “The Highlander’ (an adaptation of Mr, Lester Wallack’s “Veteran”); Mr. J. K. Em- mett, whose Fritz is now on the boards at the Adelphi, London, and Mr. J. H. Allen, who per- sonates Lagadere in a new version of ‘The Duke’s Motto” at Sadler's Wells Theatre, Mr. Allen will be remembered from his connection with the old Chatham Street Theatre and the Bowery Theatre, in this city, and his acting is highly commended by some of the English journals, * Liszt's oratorio of the “Christ,” which is now finished, has made its appearance in Pesth. The French Republic seems as fearful of the Social undertone as was the Empire, A version of Mr. Boucicault’s play, ‘‘The Long Strike," is to be produced at the Ambigu Comique, but the dramatic censorship has suppressed everything in the action which relates to the insubordinate movements of the disaffected workmen, The telegraph oMce will be all that will be left, and the piece is to be called “La Depeche.” Mr. John E. Owens has already engaged Pike's Opera House, in Cincinnati, for the month of the great Exposition next year. “La Périchole’ was sung by the Aim¢e Opera Bouffe Company at the Olympic last evening.
