Fourrern Mmaions oF Imrorts to this port during the last week are suggestive either of a heavy spring trade or “great expecta- tions.”’ It appears, too, that the trade, so far, instead of being heavier, is lighter than our average Spring traffic of the last five or six years. Something of this may be charged to the extraordinary prolongation of our late se- vere Winter; but we apprehend that the stocks of goods on hand in the interior and through- out the country are larger than the estimates upon which our importing merchants have been making these enormous importations of the last few weeks. They have so far turned, for the time, the balance of trade against us that the premium on gold has been run up to a figure which, three months ago, the most daring gold gamblers of Wall street never dreamed of. But how is all this to end? What is to be done with these immense accu- inulations of foreign goods added to the stocks from last year’s shipments already on hand in every city and town throughout the Union? There is danger ahead, and all con- cerned will do well to put their houses in order.

The following special despatch to the Heraxp has been received from our corespon- dent in Barcelona by way of London :— Lonpon, March 29, 1873. A special telegram addressed to the Heraup from Barcelona, under date of the 25th inst., reports that a sharp battle had just been fought between the government troops and the Carlist forces near Vich, a provincial city of Catalonia, situated thirty miles north-north- east of Barcelona, and famous for its manufac- ture of linen, hemp, cotton and coarse woollen fabrics. THE BATTLE OF VICH, 17S INCEPTION, AND RESULTS. The engagement took place on Sunday,, the 23d inst. The government troops were se- verely handled and beaten by the combined action of several bands of Carlist insurgents, under command of General Sabalis, called indiscriminately, Savalls—a very active and efficient Bourbonist. The conflict occurred thus: —Twelve hundred infantry, sixty caval- rymen and four pieces of cannon were de- spatched by the government officers from Vich cn Saturday morning, the 22d inst., under command of Colonel Vega, by the northern highway, to support a convoy of supplies des- tined for Conangbell, in the mountains, on the way to Ripoll, in the province of Gerona, and distant thirty-two miles west-northwest from Gerona. CONDUCT ‘TOPOGRAPHY OF THE FIELD. Conangbell lies fifteen miles north of Vich, by the highway. All the surrounding country is mountainous, but the first half of the dis- tance is not difficult to travel. enough of open space near to the road to give troops a chance for defence. Beyond this open ground the country is broken and be- comes worse for field operations. The high- way approaches the river Ter—which has its rise in the Pyrenees—running south and east, past Gerona to the Mediterranean, This mountain stream flows through a deep valley. The rond for many miles of its course through the valley is frequently crossed by small riparian tributaries of the Ter, and is over- looked by jutting rocks, portions of the heights of St. Hipolito and St. Lucia. ROB ROY TACTICS OF THE ROYALISTS. The Spanish troops halted for rest on Saturday night, the 22d instant, in the neighborhood of these heights, camping in the more open part of the country. Mean- time intelligence of the republican military movement was conveyed to the Carlist com- mander in Catalonia, General Sabalis. Sabalis, who was at the moment at Maullen, on the river Ter, five miles east of the heights of St. Hipolito, sent out during the night Gen- erals Galceran, Miret and Guin in command of Carlist forces, numbering in the aggregate 2,000 men, with orders to occupy the heights of St. Hipolito and dispute the passage of the army of the Republic. General Miret was in position by daylight, and the others, although slower in move- ment, soon after. The government troops continued their There is march. “OPEN FIRE’’ FROM ABOVE, IN THE REAR AND ALL AROUND. On Sunday morning, 23d instant, when they were directly under the heights, General Miret’s men opened fire on the cavalry and ad- vanced infantry. Vega’s soldiers suffered, but he thought that the attacking party was small in number and would be scattered after the exchange of a few shots. He consequently pushed on, Soon there was a fire all around him, with the discharge of musketry increas- ing in severity. AN IMPETUOUS CHARGE. The Carlists then, abandoning the position of their natural defences, assailed the govern- ment troops, who opened ranks immediately, being taught a lesson of caution by their snd- den losses, The fighting became desultory for a time, and wns continued until! the repub- licans seemed to have the way clear, At that juncture the other Carlist dotach- ments, under Galceran and Guin. came yp and 9 attacked the loyalists with great impetuosity. There was a very hard fight. A GENERAL KILLED. General Galceran, of the Carlist party, fell mortally wounded and has since died. RETREAT OF THE REPUBLICANS. The tide of battle turned against the gov- ernment troops, who gave way, and, being pushed hard, retired, somewhat precipitately, from the field. Encouraged by this the Carlists followed up their advantage. They were checked occasionally at the open places by the government artillery, but as the Carlists could follow behind the hills to points which com- manded the highway and might thus cut off their retreat and isolate the Spanish column, the commander did not venture to rely on this advantage, but continued to retire until he was supported by reinforcements of troops from the garrison at Vich, when the Carli retired to their positions. HEAVY LOssus. The losses incurred in the engagement can be only guessed at, but they are much heavier than those suffered in any previons collision of the belligerents during the present war. MUNICIPAL SURRENDER. Ripoll, the place for which the government supplies were intended, has since surrendered to the Carlists. THE CARLIST ADVANCE AND LOCAL GAIN. From Ripoll the Carlists are marching on Berga, lying west northwest of Barcelona, an important stronghold, filled with military stores. Berga is the key of Catalonia. It was an important position during the Thirty Years’ War. The garrison will probably abandon the place in view of the advancing Carlists. ON THE LINE OF EBRO. Since the appointment of Maldonado as commander in Navarre, General Derregary has cut the line of railway between Pampeluna and Vittoria, blowing up three, bridges at Pampeluna. The position will likely become untenable also and fall into the hands of the Carlists, who have seized the government stores deposited in the suburbs, The Carlist strategy aims to move by the Aragon and Legre Rivers and occupy the line of the Ebro. Vich and Gerona will be flanked by the capture of Berga. The Government Army Levy in Catalo- nia a Failure—The Nation Approach- ing to Financial Insolvency. MapriD, March 29, 1873. The levy of troops en masse in Catalonia and the adjoining provinces to fight the Carlists has so far proved a failure. A deputation from Barcelona de- mands its postponement, and insists on the deliy- ery of the 15,000 rifles which the government prom- ised the people of that city.

Republican Legislation Against the Members of the Bonaparte Family—Prince Napoleon's Petition Provokes a Bill of Exile— Cabinet Reminiscence of the Coup d’Etat—Felix Pyat’s Sentence. TELECFAM 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD, PaRIs, March 29, 1873, During the session of the National Assembly at Versailles to-day there was an excited debate over Prince Napoleon's petition praying for the restora- tion of his rights as acitizen and remonstrating against his illegal expulsion from France. Minister Dufaute, on the part of the government, refused to accept the special committee's report on the subject, which was conservative in character, and, by implication, censured the government. He argued that the Benaparte princes rejected the decree which had deposed their dynasty, therefore it was impossible to treat them as mere citizens. He spoke in terms of scathing contempt of the coup @’état on which the power of the late Emperor was founded. M. Depeyre, on behalf of the committee, repu- diated any intention of censuring the government, and defended the report. Minister Dufaure, to remove all doubt as to the opinion of the Chamber, then submitted a bill exiling the Bonaparte famity, and moved the sim- ple order of the day, which, after prolonged excite- ment, was adopted by a vote of 347 to 291.

New Yorkers Resisting the Worst Rain Storm of the Season—Effects of the Storm King on the Hudson and Elsewhere, The storm which has been making people un- comfortable for the past week contimued to rage with unabated vigor all day yesterday. The morn- ing opened in the same dull, overhung manner to which we are growing accustomed, and the rain came pouring down in torrents, which made early risers shiver with that magnetic discomfort which the state of the weather brings to all well organized beings. There was not the least little bit of blue sky to look upon and the weather gave promise of keeping up in the same fashion. It kept its promise, for the late risers jared no better than the early ones. Every now and then the very sluices of heaven seemed to have opened, and the downpour was such as has not been seen for many a day. One moment of it was enough to wet one to the skin, and umbrellas did but little service. For one mement in the afternoon the sun seemed to make @ struggle and peeped out for a moment between two black clouds, but the moment aiter the clouds again conquered, and the rain got the supremacy once more, Thus off and on dur- ing the afternoon tne water came gown heavy and light until evening, when gradually the wind ot the better or it ana chased away the water. stu sou'wester then blew, and almost incom- mee travellers as much as did the rain during e HEA DAMAGE CAUSED BY A SHIP BREAKING FROM HER MOORIN At eleven o'clock last night the high wind cansed the ship Theresa, loaded with grain and owned by Dunham & Co., to part her moorings at pier 39 Kast River and to dash wildly among a number of barges, canal boats and pilot boats lying near her. It was impossible, owing to the hour and the weather, for any assistance to be rendered for nearly an hour, and during that. time the vessel was driven against a grain eleva- tor, which was partially destroyed, and collided with the pilot boat Widgeon and a number of other craft, which were seriously damaged. A barge loaded with grain was sunk, No loss of life is re- pore and the damages are roughly estimated at 000, Brooklyn Buildings Blown Down. During the prevalence of the gale yesterday afternoon and evening, sad havoc was made among buildings in course of erection in the more exposed. sections of the city. Three new three story brick buildings in course of ereetion in Butler street, near Brooklyn avenue, were blown down, causing a loss of several thousand dollars. The | 2 ed is owned by a Mrs, Mead, residing in New York. A new building, one of four four story dwelling ho being reared in Degraw street, near Seventh avenue, was blown down. The débris fell upon 749, causing the roof of the latter structure to cave in. ‘The former named property is owned by Thomas Robbins, and the latter by Bartholomew Corning. Fences were thrown down upon all sides, awn- ings were torn into shreds, signs wrenched from their fastenings, window panes shattered, and considerable damage was occasioned to properiy generally. On the Hudson, Throughout the day small vessels kept near the shore, and the ferry boats took nearly double the usual time to make their trips. Last evening the Hoboken ferry boats Secaucus and Weehawken were unable to enter the slip at the New York side, ewing to the violence of the wind, and were delayed three hours. A little more skill on the pave of the pilots ight have prevented delay, rhe people on either side who were marketing were not very complimentary to the company as they spoke of ferry management, Floods Near Schenectady.

At this writing the water in the river is two feet higher than it wason Saturday morning and it is steadily rising. The severe storm is wide in its range. From the West we learn that the storm is quite as heavy as it is ec, and serious apprehensions are felt for several bridges aleng the line of the Central Railroad, one cially at Schenectauy. despatch from our Coxsackie correspondent, dated last evening, says that a big pond near there burst its bounds and the streets of the village were overflowed.

ANOTHER RAILROAD FIGHT King Tom Scott vs. Monopoly Prince Garrett. ‘ The Pennsylvania Central Beats the Baltimore and Ohio. Physical Force and a Destruction of Property Threatened. PirrspurG, Pa., March 29, 1873. Two “mighty corporations,” the Pennsylvania Central and the Baltimore and Ohio, are at war, and an engagement in which bloodshed is likely to result ismomentarily apprehended, It appears that a short time ago an attempt was made by the South- western Ratlroad to effect a connection with the Mount Pleasant branch of the Connellsvilie Railroad at Fountain Mills, a small station between Bradford and Mount Pleasant. The South- western, which is but the Pennsylvania Central, completed its track to Fountain Mills, and desired to make the connection; but this was not agreea- ble to the Connellsville Company, which is the Bal- timore and Ohio, Accordingly the latter corpora- tion massed a large force of men at the Mills and checkmated the operations of the Southwestern Company. Finding that it was impossible to carry their point, the latter company ran their track across the Mount Pleasant branch down to the terminus, But though the Southwestern Company were worsted in this encounter they were not defeated, and kept a sharp look out on the Connellsville company, in order, if possible, to cateh the latter off guard. Yesterday A. 0. Linsman, President of the Brad- ford and Mount Pleasant road, issued an order to the effect thot the Connellsville Kailroad had for- feited all right to their road, and that the directors would, therefore, take possession of and run it to Bradford. The issuing of this order raised great excitement, as It was at that point that the act had been consummated which transferred a whole line of road from the possession of the Connellsville Company. Tom Scott arrived on Thursday and went down on the Southwestern road from Greensburg, and the initiated knew that a movement of some kind was in contemplation, and accordingly were on the qui vive for developments. The Connellsville Company, strange tosay, were unaware that a di- rect movement was intended, and took no precan- tions to concentrate men enough on their leased road to protect their interests, About two years ago the Pittsburg, Washington and Baltimore Com- pany leased from the owners of the Mount Pleasant road that concern for ninety-nine years. This gives the Connellsville Company a connection with the Mount Pleasant and Central and control of the ex- tensive freight business of that region. The termsof the lease were, in effect, that the lessees of the road were to pay to the owner of the Mount Pleasant branch six per cent per annum on the stock, and the Connellsville people were to have exclusive control at these terms. The owners of the road were Israel Painter, the Overholts and A, 0, Tinsman, the latter being manager and controlling the greater part of the stock, and, consequently, the road. These gentlemen are well known capi- talists of this section of the country, and the Pennsylvania road had an eye on this territory, and, controlling, as it does, the Southwestern, naturally its interests were identical with those of the latter corporation. Aprivate understanding had been arrived at be- tween Tinsman and the magnates of the ‘Big Cor- poration ;” a line of action was agreed upon. The Southwestern, under the plea that they had not received a cent of the interest which they were to receive from the Connellsville road, thougnt the time had come to bring about @ change. The directors considering the lease annulled, last night, after waiting till the down train had passed tron? Mount Pleasant, proceeded to tear up the connectfin at Broadford, The Southwestern Railroad, headed by Superintendent Pitcairn, one of the right bowers of that gigantic monopoly, the Pennsyl- vania Railroad, were in waiting with five loco- motives and a number of passenger and freight cars to take immediate possession of the road. A full brass band was in attendance, with a great gathering of spectators, who lustily cheered the laborers as they plied their picks and crowbars in the work of tearing up the rails. The gang worked earnestly till after dark, when the last rail was displaced, and the branch was disconnected with Garrett’s road. This concern, under the fostering care of the mighty Pennsylva- nia Central, put on their passenger trains and freight trains and to-day run all trains on schedule time. They seem determined t6 remain in posses- sion of the road, and have at each Scott station a force of 260 men camped out like an army. Acar loaded with stores and provisions was despatched to the men to-day, and they have instructions to hold the road at all hazards, The men are armed and prepared for desperate work if necessary. It is the general belief that the Pittsburg, Wash- ington and Baltimore Railroad Company will ap- pear with alarge foree of men to-morrow, and endeavor to regain possession and repair the damage done, If they obtain possession it will be by force, which will result in bloodshed. This conflict is between two of the greatest railroads of the land, and it is to be seen if King Tom Scott will grind down Garrett and his company to terias of submission as quietly and a8 easily as he does certain State Legislatures, eh Trouble wot pests of One large of \ NSECT DESTROYER will sutlee whole Summer. flas for a Prune ge A.—Fashion and Economy.—A Beauti- at is the attraction ina gentleman's wearing | sito None cau excel RSPENSCUEID, the Hat Mate uiacturer, in produ ring for the head which combines all the ellencies that mechantum, veriect taste and long experience can concentrate ina hat Try them at 118 Nassau street, RTA Av=Herring’s Patent CHAMPION SAPES 251 and 252 Broadway, corner ot Murray street A.=—Smoke Surbri & pure, delicious Tobacco. g's Golden Sceptre, Depot, ISL Fulton street. ry A Written Guide to Heath May ‘4e oftained from head authority, Professor JUDD, by vend. fo your mode of liv'n , Weight, Mite AO. “ering teatonable, Bost ref sin the city Adios: aD West Thirty fthh sweet A.—Mach Attention is Now Attracted! throughout the country by the remarkable qualities of the new ELASTIC T , which retains the rupture under all circumstances and at all times.
