CARLIST ATTACK ON BERGA Desperation of the Contestants—Shooting Prisoners and Firing on Flags of Truce, Gathering Gloom in the Northern Provinces. BARCELONA, March 26, 1873. The aspect of the city has somewhat improved during the past two or three days. The anxiety, which had reached an extreme point, has been greatly relieved by the removal of armed bands, ‘who spread terror throughout the city ever since the 9th instant. At that date, it will be remem- dered, military possession was taken of all the pub- lic offices, ostensibly on the allegation that the Garlist party intended to venture on a coup d'gtat. The truth is that there are more than ten thousand Frenchmen in and about Barcelona, including much of that element which, even in ordinary times, is most unruly, The disturbed state of the country has created an immense amount of misery among the working classes. To themit was a source of relief when the creation of volunteer forces had been decided on. The poor people eagerly enlisted, since the promised pay of two francs per diem afforded a means of subsistence to the men and their families. On the other hand the Measure struck terror among the trading com- munity. Barcelona is not only a Spauish Loweil; it is at the same time what Liverpool is to England. It is, in fact, the largest commercial city of the Penimsula, The middle classes, as well as the more Wealthy citizens, found themselves utterly power- less to resist the radical party, nor could they oppose the armarfient of the people. Stull, unwilling to remain mere spec- tators, meetings were secretly organized and energetic measures taken to provide against allemergencies, Arms were purchased, which are Bow held in readiness, and large stores in the principal thoroughfares have been pnt ina solid Btate of defence. A conflict seemed imminent from day to day. Nevertheless, excepting atew brawls, we’ have been saved, until yesterday, the humiliation of witnessing a street fight. How- ever, general distrust had taken hold of the entire Population. The intense excitement which pre- Vailed was heightened by the 1act that the oficers of the Civic Guard had notiiied their intention to resign in @ body, owing to their in- ability to withstand the humiliation to which their corps had been subjected. These Guards were never found wanting when called upen to sustain order. The corps is composed of as fine a set of men any public in Europe, and thus they regarded it as an act derogatory to their position when the police service was divided between the Guards and the newly-created Red Volunteers, In fact, a mixed guard, composed of volunteers and armed police would inevitably lead, sooner or later, to disturbances. The officers conceived the im- possibility of controlling their men, and, under the Circumstances, resolved to resign. But the civic guthorities declined to accept the responsibility growing out of the declaration made by the officers, s, und, thereiore, it was resolved, rather re- luctantly, to withdraw the armed Red Caps irom the Custom House, the bank, aud other pubuc buildings. The withdrawal, hew- ever, bas created great dissatisfaction to the mob and their leaders, wio have taken advantage of the slightest pretext jor the crextion of street riots. nere has been a growing disposition to place the jaw in the hands of the people, and on every occa- sion to APPEAL TO JUDGE LYNCH. On Saturday last I witnessed from my window the arrest of & pickpocket. Two police agents were about to take the miscreant to the guard house, when the crowd made a desperate effort to lay hoid of the prisoner, The police struggled against these efforts, Whereupon the infuriated crowd raised the cry of “Martali?? (Kill Kil him! kim!) With the greatest dificulty the wretched man’s life was he was searched there and then in the » and even when the police officers proved to the crowd that the man had Dot the stolen articie in lis possession, the prisoner and his captors were compelled te seek Shelter in @ neighboring guard-house. An idea impresses the wind of the people that the authori- ties, prompted by motives of economy, refuse jus- tice to thieves when captured. - Thieves, it is al- leged, exist merely because the government is too Jenient with them. vantage of this state of feeling, and never fail to tell the poor man that he must come ferward and show his authority by taking the law in his own bands. The scene, of which I have been an eye Witmess, Was by uo means exceptional. “MATARLOS! KILL THEM, KILL *HEM!"? Disturbances, more or less serious in their na- ture, are of daily occurrence in the streets ef Bu celona. Last night another affray of that kind curred and brought matters to a climax. A baud of housebreakers had been captured in gre of the suburbs of the city.- The nd consisted ef half a dozen rumMans ot worst nd, and, on the police muking an at pt to transport them to the Central Station, an immense crowd assembled and raised the usual cry of “Matarlos! “Kill them!? ‘Hand them over uy.” A rush was made at the police, who had recourse toarms, From blows it came to shoot ing, and, in an extraor’'inary @ regular battle ensued, The 7 to escape ; about a hundred shot € he nded in Knife was freely usea, and the scufile ¢ the killing of five or six people on the spot, one Woman being among tie number. umerous wounded were carried to the h re turee more deaths have o DANGE!

Spanish. Ip this respect, as in many others, the people here take a delight in emulating the conduct of the French. It will be recollected that it often sufficed for & man with sandy whis- kers or flaxen hair to be taken for a Prussian spy, At the outbreak of the German war and during the siege of Paris mest unhappy occurrences took place owing to mistaken identities, The same de- plorable scenes are now frequent at Barcelona in rey tosuspected Carlists, These excesses make fe almost unbearable, asmuch as we have not yet seen the worst, The re-occurrence Of an affray Buch as Witnessed last night may be followed by Consequences of a more serious nature.

On recovering his senses the victim betook himself to the village, where, by reason of a state of semi-nudity, he was treated a8 a vagabond, and, not being able to converse in the native patois, narrowly escaped being lynched, It must be borue in mind that trade and industry are almost ata standstill, and from sheer want the people will soon be driven to excesses of which the foregoing narratives serve only as @ prelude to a feartul drama which must follow sooner or later. ANNOYANCES TO TRAVELLERS, ‘Travel across the country, if not absolutely dan- gerous, is now rendered exceedingly unpleasant. Steamers are new engaged in the transportation of refugees to Pert Vendres, the- nearest French port on this coast. None of the families who seek shelter in France venture to take the coach road, owing to the incessant annoyances. On Thursday last the coach wax stopped near Figueras, The passengers were not molested in any way, but a portion of the mail coming from France was cap- tured. Railroad travel has been rendered com- paratively safe since the Zaragossa Company, has jollowed the example of the Gerona tiroad. Both of them have agreed to pay a subsidy to the Carhsts, in consideration of which the latter agreed not to molest travel ever the two lines, Carlism and the Commune in Catalonia. BARCELONA, March 28, 1873. Events of great importance are crewding upon us, The second fight of Vich, at which the Carlist chief, Galceran, exposed himself with great intrepidity, resulted in the utter discamfiture of the republican forces, who retreated in great disorder to Granollers. The victory, however, was dearly purchased. Gaiceran received a mortal wound and died a couple of days aiterwarda, While the attack on Vich was progressing, Sa- balis, with the remainder of his forces, marched rapidly on Ripoll, where the simatl garrison of about two hundred men made a determined resistance, A portion fortified themselves im the Church of St, Eudaldus; but after a couples of hours’ fighting were compelled to surrender. The tower oi the church was occupied by @ party of nine, who showed a white handkerchief as a signal of surrender, upon seeing their companions in the church overpowered. A Carlist oiticer advanced with an escort, and, uniortunately for the small garrison, was received with @ murderous dis- charge at point blank, whieh killed him on the spot and wounded three of bis men, Savalls un- mediately ordered straw and other light combus- tible matter to be piled’ up at the foot of the tower and ignited, Centrary to his intention, the church itseif took fire, and the smoke and flames soon compelled the obstinate and unwise defenders of the tower to surrender at discretion, The proofs of their treacherous conduct lay belore them, and they read therein the doom that awaited them. After being disarmed they were Jed away a short-distance and shot. Three hundred stand of arms, 8,000 cartridges and some artillery ammunition were found itn the place, after securing which and one hundred and forty or sixty unwounded prisoners, the victors THE STATE CAPITAL. Idie Assemblymen—The Washington Market Bill Ordered to a Third Read- ing—Green Must Certainly Go—O’Don- Rossa Looking for a Seat in the ALBANY, April 14, 1873, vhe two houses reassembled this evening with barely a quorum. ‘The Assembly, as usual on Mon- aay evenings, fooled away its valuable time in silly debates, ‘just for the fun of the thing,” and made its greatest points of stale wit over a bill to sup- press the sale of prize packages, and this right in face of the fact that the hun- dred days will be up next Wednesday. Before the session had come to a close THE WASHINGTON MARKET BILL was dragged into Committee of the Whole and had ‘plain sailing until the eighth section was reached. This section gives the Washington Market Com- pany the first option to lease the ground on which the stands of Washington and West Washington markets are located—in fact, prohibits the Commis- sioners appointed to take a valuation ofthe property to lease it unitil after thirty days’ notice in writ- ing to the company. Mr. Voorhis, of Rockland, denounced this section as an outrage, and claimed that the property should be sold to the highest bid- der and used for commercial purposes, It was not now, he said, @ good place for a market, and yet the bill makes It imperative that the property shall not be leased for any other than market purposes. Mr. Clark stoutly championed the cause of the present mar- ketmen, and advocated the retention of the section in the measure. The bill was finally ordered to a third reading by a vote of 40 to 23 The bill authorizing the construction of AN ELEVATED RAILWAY in Church and other streets was also brought up, but was strenuously opjfosed by Mr. Healey. So it was only progressed, THE CHARTER, as passed by the Senate, has been printed, but as has been discovered that there are a few printers’ errors in it it will not be sent to the Assembly till to-morrow aiternoon, or on Wednesday, There are really no new developments concerning the way the Lower House felt about the Senate amend- ments. It iscertain that the bill can never pass the House in its present shape, and that @ con- ference committee will have to be resorted to. It is equally certain that the conference committee of the House will insist upon Green being stricken out of the bill. In this they will be backed up by a large majority of the Assembly, so that if the Senate does not feel like giving way to the stand the Assembly intends to take it will either have to choose between A GOOD CHARTER, WITH GREEN OUT OF IT, or no charter at all. It is generally believed that the Senate will not dare to take the responsibility of defeating the bill altogether, simply to gratify the ambition of a single individual in New Yor! city. O'DONOVAN ROSSA CLAIMS A SEAT. left for the town of Prats de Liusanés, without touching any article of private property or molest- ing any person. It is said, and most probably with truth, that 200 men from the surrounding country joined Sabalis next morning, and were immediately armed and incorporated into tus band, THE MARCH ON BERGA. From Prats de Llusanés, Sabalis has marched on the very important town of Berga, a fortified piace and considered the key to Catalonia. During the first Curlist War, known as the seven years’ war, this town was for a long time the Carlist head quarters in Catalonia. Up to a tew days ago it held a garrison sutticient for tts defence, but the influences at work upon the army all over | Spain gradually dissolved and dissipated those companies of regulars and volunteers, leaving the place, With all its valuable military stores, quite at the mercy Of the first comer. Some think the peo- ple of the town will resist, while others laugh at the' suggestion. A force of some eight hundred men iett Barcelona yesterday with acouple of field jieces, pretendjng they were going to overtake Sabalis, who bas three thousand men, at least, and several pieces of artillery. ‘They will never get beyond Gerona,” said to me to-day the editor of one of the leading anti-Carlist papers. This gen- tleman went on to say:—“In former times the mutinous aud insubordinate conauct of soldiers in the field was always checked by the presence of the enemy. We see nothing of this now.

[tis Said that one of the parties in question harangued a crowd of muiinons soldiers the other day at iar- ragona, with a red cap on his head. The ostensible object Of the harangzue was to exhort the men to return to discipline and subordination to their officers; but the language used, it is further alieged, s calculated to produce’ the very oppo- site effeci, and the sequel has proved that the General shot very wide of the proposed mark, In plain terms, the’ soldiers felt all the mere encour- aged to persevere in their mutinous conduct by the conduct and language of the speaker, It now ap- pears that the matter has been compromised by the nomination of General Hidalgo to a post in tae Canary Islands, while Coutreras.ts again spoken of for the position of Inspector General of Cavalry, and thus Castclar resigns himseil tq bear the bur- den of oflic ttle longer. THE INTERNATIONAL, it need scarcely Ve said, is one of the greatest dis- turbing elements at present agitating Spain. ‘The telegraph hi probably informed you of the oMctal aid and comfort given to that dangerous assocta- tion by Figueras when in Barcelona, He authorized the members to take possession of the Convent ot St. Philp, in which to hold their meetings. The resence in the couvent of a few quiet priests, the Feat possessors of t uilding, far from being an obs’ the mind of Mr. Figueras, was an in- centive, and offered, he no doubt thought, a sut- fleiently v xcuse for his high-handed proceed- ing. The consequence has been, it is asserted, an immense increase in the membership of this asso- ciation, hencelorth under government patronage tion, and a corresponding increase of | J indignation in the minds of those who | have property of any kind to lose.

The communication was reterred to the Commit- tee on Privileges and Elections, A QUESTION FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, A bill was introduced by Mr. J. Wood previding for submitting to the electors of this State at the general election to be held next November the question whether the oficers of Chiet and As- sociate Judges of the Court of Appeals or Justices of the Supreme Court, of the Judges of the Superior and the Court of Common Pleas in the city of New York, of the Judge of the Superior Court, Buifalo; of the City Court, Brooklyn, and of the county Judges in several counties, shall be hereafter filled by appointment, pursuant to section 17, articie 16, of the constitution, THE CANAL FUNDING BILL. The action of commercial bodies in New York, and petitions from all parts of the State, ha called attention to the low-toll, free canal policy recommended by the republican State Convention and endorsed by Governor Dix in his message, Ex- Congressman Israel T, Hatch is here pressing his canal views on the Legisiature, and insisting upon the observance of the constitutional requirements by the Canal Board and Comptroller, which render it necessary to pay the debt, tax the people for the money, or fund the debt. The latter policy is the course advocated by Governor Dix and = Mr. Hatch. Comptroller Hopkins hesitates in his choice and isina dilemma He has to pay about five mil- lions this Summer, and has no tunds, He would probably resort to the plan of taking tne money from some unauthorized source and escaping the necessity of eXtra taxation, but the strict constructionists are at nis heels and threaten injunctions should he attempt this mode of escape. The canal ring are urging this bridging over policy, in order that they may still have a placer to deplete; but it is not likely to prevail, and the chances appear to be that the whole ten million canal debt will be funded in forty years bonds, thus lifting the present oppres- sive weigiit from the State canals and insuring the lowest rates of tolls, and in breadstuils probably free navigation, ART MATTERS, alice 5 Mme. Hazard—Important Sale To-Mor= row. Mme. Hazard's sale, respecting which s0 Much has been said and so much is expected, will take place to-morrow afternoon and evening, at her rooms, 50 Union place, at the northeast corner of Seventeenth street and Fourth avenue. Our remarks have mainly reference to the evening's sale, consisting, as it does, of works of art almost exclusively. The most valuable and interesting effects are the statuary, the work of Mme. Hazard’s own hands. To these we have referred, not oftener than thew merit demands, but with sum- cient frequency to prevent the art lover forgetting where they were to be found and what were their chfet characteristics, The best tascinations of Mme. Hazard’s chisel are expressed in them, and they indicate at once deep feeling, high aspiration, innate refinement, a complete mastery of technical details, and broad sympathy with whatever, in moral grandeur and beauty, is susceptible of expression in art. But there are numerous adscititious points of interest in the count- less souvenirs, antiquities, articles of vertu, and assortments of jewelry and laces with which the cases in Mme, Hazard's apartments are re- lenished. We are afraid that tew New York jadies possess suflicient moral nobility to ad- mire a statue of ‘‘Hope,” however finely executed, when Venetian, Brussels and Irish lace appeal to them; and we have yet to meet the feminine bar- | ty who will not turn away from statuettes und at Pompeii to worship an ermine paletot or to offer secret incense befere an embroidered handkerchief, Not to press too closely iome a truth which might disconcert eur fair readers, it is in place to say that the sale Mme. Hazard ’ promises for to-morrow evening unites, to a greater extent than almost any other sale of the kind offered in this city during the past Winter, those qualities which are attractive to the art Jover, the antiqua- rian and the fastidious appreciator of iaces and Jewels.

The forty-eighth annual exhibition of the National Academy of Design opened last evening with a reception and @ “private view,” which were as brilliant as over three hundred carefully se- jected pictures could make them, with the assist- ance of newly-arranged lights, excellent music by Thomaa, and the color and perfume of rare and abundant flowers.

AMUSEMENTS. BZ! “Under the Gaslight” at the Grand Opera House. A large audience greeted the reproduction of “Under the Gaslight” at the Grand Opera Beuse last night, It is unnecessary to discuss over again the merits of the piece, this having been done with sufficient thoroughness at the time of its first pro- duction at what 1s now the Fifth Avenue Theatre in Broadway. One thing, at least, was illus- trated by its performance last night—namely, that @ successful local drama does not soon lose its hold upon the New York public. The ad- vantage of this play is that itis purely local, both in scenery and in action, and is not marred by in- congrulties springing from the following of a foreign model. To this advantage perhaps tt owes its vitality. The piece is well set at the Grand Opera House, and the famous railroad effect is ex- ceedingly well done, so well done, indeed, last night that Miss Cary fainted on the stage as the curtain fell upon the rescue of Snorkey. The young lady had never seen the piece, and, actress as she 18, she was overcome by the realism of the rushing railroad, train, Some of the acting, too, is unusually excellent. Mrs. John Wood as Peachblossom is in an element exactly suited to her genius, and she seems to revel in une character as if it were a joyful reality. She shows in the part all the exquisiteness of bur- lesque to people who do not Know what wretched- ness is, and atl the degradation of poverty as it is exhibited by ‘a girl who was never brouglt up.” Miss Mary Cary plays Laura Courtiand with neat- ness and skill, bat fails short of the emo- tional power of which the part is capable. Mr. Lemoyne’s Byke is a very strong character, and excellent their way are the Counsellor Kowe of Mr. Meade, the Bermudas of Mr. Burnett, the Sam of Mr. F. Chapman, the Old Judas of Mrs. Yeamans and the Peanuts of little Jennie Yeamans. Mr. Henry Crisp deserves a word ol strong praise for an excellent interpretation of Snorkey, the one-armed soldier. messenger. In parts wich do not require much Vigorous acting, but whid allow tenderness and . Simplicity, he shews hitu»t possessed of great merits, Mr. J. W. Jennings played the Signal Man at Shrewsbury Bend very nicely, and the piece passed off with much éclat, Niblo’s—The Vokes Family. A hearty welcome was given the Vokes family at Niblo’s last evening, upon the occasion of their first appearance.since their return {rem Europe. The programme of entertainment vouchsafed in return is already quite familiar to the public from having been made so during a long and prosperous run last season, and its successful repetition for the ensuing two weeks is insured from the uarantee of last evening’s performance. The yokes family’s specialty, “Ihe Belles of the Kitchen,” written and adapted tor their exclusive enactment, belongs to the class of amusements known as “Varieties”—much or little as the word may cemprehend—and as such finds admirers and patrons among both those who come down from the standard drama and those who go up from the spice and sensation of east side theatricala, The several members of the family, or bog a have lost nothing of their power to please during their short absence abroad, On the contrary, many touches here and there in the incidents of the tun- making medley of concert, burlesque and ballet show signs of & revisional effort to add to the at- tractive features of the entertainment. The per- formance was preceded by the pretty little comedy of “Orange Blossoms.”* Union Square Theatre—‘Frou Frou.” Miss Agnes Ethel played the title rdle in this French play, adapted for our stage by Mr. Augustin Daly, for the first time this season at the Union Square Theatre last night. Three years ago it saved the Filth Avenue Theatre, then in its com- parative infancy, from utter dissolution. “Frou Frou” was the first play that brought the Fifth Avenue Theatre up to the standard of pop- Uiar as well as artistic success it enjoys at present. The talent and foresight of the manager must be regarded as the mainspring of the prosperity of the theatre, but in * Frou-Frou’’ the turning potnt of success must always be considered, The principal roles of the play were filled at the Union | Square as on the occasion of the first represen- ‘tation in this city. Agues Ethel played the title role with all that emotional pewer and tenderness which have made her stage representations so popular, Harkins and Parkes represented their old parts without any diminution of effect. Miss Griswold was but a poor substitute for Miss New- ton. La Baronne was very much inferior in the hands of Miss Mestayer to the representation of Mrs. Gilbert, and the other characters were about equal to the original. Take the play as a pepular success there is very little difference in the repre- sentation of it at the Union Square Theatre last night and its first production at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. Masical and Dramatic Notes. Mr. Dominick Murray, @ very clever and popuiar actor, commenced an engagement last evening at Wood's Museum, tn the play of “The Gambler's Crime; or, The Murder on the Hudson,” Mr. Murray, in the part of an Irishman, keeps the house in constant uproar by his delineation of supposed Irish dialect and eccentricities, The Theatre Comique was crowded last night. “Standing room only’ were the words that greeted the ears of those who came but a few minutes after eight. The performance was amusing, and embraced “Robert Macaire,” “A Trip to the Moon”’ and “The Race, or, the Mysteries ef the Turf.” The most novel feature of the entertainment was the bayonet “duel” of Mr. Charles and Miss Carrie Austin, which opened in a sanguinary manner but very properly terminated in a somersault, The Atheneum 1s enjoying a prosperous week. The engagement of the Zanfretta troupe, the pan- tomimists, has proved successful. M, Alex. Zautretta is very agile, and, at times, laughable, but he makes up his face so as to give it the appearance of a frightiul mask- “Plato” kept tie audience in convulsions of laughter, and, to quote the modest language of the programme, ‘crowded and de- Uguied audicncea attcat the yopularity of thia. famous temple of amusement, which may be likened unto a mental garden of Eden” With Miss Liza Weber and others of her school this is perhaps to be expected, but when managers speak #0 well of themselves they save other people a great deal of trouble. On Wednesday afternoon last two score people were somewhat startled by the discovery of a tragic actress in Mme. de Guerbel, a lady as well known in society as on the operatic stage. Having studied with Miss Fanny Morant for three months, Mme. de Guerbel, being earnestly solicited by friends, gave @ private rehearsal at Bryant's Opera Heuse, which was kindly placed at her disposition by the genial manager. Selecting scenes from the “Hunchback” and “Macbeth,” the lady won golden opinions from critics not given to promiscuous praise. Grace, ease, intensity and beauty are Mme. de Guerbel’s natural gifts, and it needs but practice to make their possessor such an artist as the stage sadly needs at the present momert. We understand that it is the lady’s intention to sail for Europe, with a view to studying in Paris previous to ap- pearing in England, We heartily wish her ‘‘god- speed,” and do not doubt that she will fulfil the sanguine expectations of her friends, THE METHODIST PREACHERS, Hee TS This body of ministers met yesterday in the Mis- sion House.

Mr. French would include General Canby also, whose wife, and, he believed, himseif also, were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. Drs. Buckley, Reid and French were appeinted such committee. ‘the topic for next meeting was left open. THE GOSPEL AT AUCTION. ha Sethe ah A fashionable congregation gathered last night in that fearfully and wonderfully constructed Church of the Disciples, in Madison avenue and Forty-fifth street. The edifice was brilliantly lighted up, the people occupicd the pews, but, instead of the Rey. G. H. Hepworth delivering the Lord’s message freely and tully from the platform, the auctioneer and his assistant occupied the sacred place and soid to the highest bidder the privilege of hearing the Gospel proclaimed by Mr. Hepworth from certain parts of the building. At first the bidding was spirited, but as soon as the | erty began to feel each other's pulse nangially they did not manifest so much enthu- siasm. The circle between the platform and the first circular aisle, containing fity-four pews, valued in the aggregate at $47,100, and varying in price from $500 to $1,200 per pew, was first put up, or the cholce of pews was offerec, the terms being a rental of twelve per cent of the valuation, besides the premium. Nine pews in this circle were bought olf at premiums ranging from $100 to $1,050. Mr. Anthony paid $1,050 premium for No. 247, valued at $1,200, and $1,000 each for Nos, 246, 110 and 111, Mr. Palmer paid $100 premium for No. 109, valued at $1,000, and Mr. W. L. Conklin bought No. 100, right opposite and of the same value, at par. ir. Fay bought No. 267, vained at $1,000, for $200 premium, and Mr. Herrick took its cempanion, valued at $800, at a corresponding premium. Outside this charmed circle the purchases were more numerous and the premiums much less per ew. Judge Hilton took Nos. 204, 241, valued at 550 each, for $25; 264, 296, same value, at $50, and 263, 297, valued at $500 each, at $45 premium, and 265, 296 at $35, and 96, 63 fer $55. Mr. Perkins took Nos, 203, 242, valued at $500 each, at $50; Mr. W. C. Wheeler paid $200 premium for No. 202, valued at $500 also, while Mr. Sniffer got 239, valued at $600, for $100 premium, and 266, opposite, same value, for $175, The bidding began to wane and the auctioneer grew desperate and called for premiums of “one dollar, or filly cents, or anything.” Dr, Ranney accommodated him by taking 303, 322, valued at $500 (each, at and 302, 323 at $10 premium” each. A few were then bid eff at par, when alull came upon the auc- tioneer and the people, and the selling was laid aside and the renting taken up. This reproduced something of the original enthusiasm and several were bidden off in the choicest parts ef the church at a premium of $20 to $5, subject to a rental of eighteen per cent of the valuation per annum and the trustees reserving the right to sell if they can at any time, giving the renter the frat right, but his failure, within fifteen days after being netified to that effect, releases them, and they can return his rent or a proper proportion ‘thereof. About sixty pews were rented ard sold up to half-past nine P. M., when the HERALD reporter leit, the remiums aggregating over six thousand dellars, e rental will be continued on other evenings. DEDICATION OF A GERMAN OATHOLIO CHURCH. rry and T. A. unanimously The new frame church edifice recently erected at the intersection of Hamburg avenue and Jefferson street, Williamsburg, for the worship of the Ger- man Catholics of that section of Brooklyn, was dedicated yesterday (Easter Monday) by the Right Rev. Bishop Loughlin. The Bishop was as- sisted in the dedicatory services by Vicar General Turner, Fathers Syivester, Malone, Hauptmann, Huber, May, Arnoid,’ Amman, Zimmer, Zeller and Raver. The unpretentious edifice (50 by 80 feet) coula not accommodate all the religious secieties, accompanied by bands of music and pe banners, that marched in procession to it through the principal streets. It will be known as the Church of St. Leonard of Prague, and its altar piece will be a portrait of that saint. The congregatien will be under the pastoral charge of the iderman of the Sixteenth ward of that name. At the conclusion of the religious exercises a salute was fired by the Guard connected with the Church of the Holy Trinity, where Father Raber has been an assisting priest since his ordination.

Republican Demonstration in Celebratio of Amadeus’ Abdication of the Spanish Crown. iin Police Interference Unable to Suppress Dem cratic Sentiment—Monarchism Pleading Its Cause Through Agents of the Throne—A Spanish Orator Receives a Spicy Sa- lute—A Juvenile Negro Seeking to Enlighten the Municipality— Mob Law for a Moment. Rio JaNnErRo, March 7, 1873. The great event of the fortnight has been the Republican celebration and its consequences, When news arrived here, on the 28th of February, of the abdication of King Amadeus, in Madrid, the republicans determined to solemnize the revival of the Spanish Republic with a demonstration of the rejoicing of the Brazilian republicans. The police authorities declined to allow a procession throug the city streets, but threw no obstacle in the way ofa jollification a: the office of the Republica, Ac- cordingly, by nightfall, the Republica ofice was in gala costume, with flags and illumination, Some 200 little colored lamps, fixed upon the front, spelled the thrilling words, ‘Viva a Repub- lica.” and a transparency, bearing the portraiture of Castelar, the great fepublican orater of Spain, was placed in the centre of honor, its frame wreathed with the flags of the United States, Spain and France, and over it floating the flag of the em- bryo Republic of Brazil, consisting of three stripes, green eutside and yellowin the middle, and gullt- less of the arms of monarchy. MONARCHICAL EFFORT IN REPLY, The agents of monarchy, on the other hand, had not been idle: the adjoining squares were occu. pit with troops and pickets of cavalry patrolled. ‘he part of Kua do Ouvidor in which the Republics oilice is situated, aud were saluted from it withthe stirring strains of the “‘Marselllaise,” and with cries of “Viva a Republica.” However, Senhor Bocayuva, the chief editor of the Republica, requested the with- drawal of the patrol, as he and his friends wished to deliver suitable orations to the crowds which had assembled. This request being acted om Senhor Bocayuva mounted a chair and spoke elo quently, as usual, but with consideration tor the weaknesses of the unconverted. This show of tact ‘Was not imitated by two Spanish @rators who sac- ceeded him, and Whose voices were drowned in groans and exclamations from a portion of the crowd, Evidently there was a counter party te the republican one, and stones, aided by potatoes, sausages and bottles froma neighboring store, began soon to play mad havoc with the illumiuna- tions and the windows, DEMOCRACY IN THE DUST. Finally, with a crash, the transparency fell tothe ground and was trampled and danced on by the eager mob. The rage of the mob was not satisfied and turpentine was thrown upon the signboard. LIGHT FROM A DARK SOURCE. A young scamp ofa nigger climbed @ gaspipe and tried, but vainly, to ignite it witha match, Failing in their efforts in this directien all turned their attention to the upper windows, and to roar- ing ‘Down with the republican flag!’’ LAW AND ORDER. By this time the police authoriti time te appear upon the scene and to to soothe the disorder. Two magistrates, with scarfs of of-. fice across their chests, summoned the garrison te a@ parley; but the hat of one instantly coliapsed under a bottle still redolent of the vanished beer, and the gallant Lieutenant Colonel no lengert snorted like the war horse for the fray. fact he retired upon his base in a masterly manner, and was seen no more. The parley was a0- corded, but to the summons in the name of the law to haul down his flag Bocayuva indignantiy replied that never would he drag down the flag of liberty at the behest of tne. minion of despotism. The minion insisted. Boca- yuva sought to temporize and was lost. He de- Mmanded a written summons, It was refused, and at last, with grating teeth and Hag picboenbely eyes, he seized the halyards and slowly lowered the amid the groans of his sympathizing friends an the Jeers of the triamphant monarchists, Satiated with tueir triumph, the mob was then readily dis- persed, and guards were placed at both ends te prevent a reassembly in the street. PRESS INDIGNATION. Next morning the Repwhlica announced that it had suspended—that it could not continue te issue in @ country where such outrages as those of the preceding night were com- mitted with impunity; but it has hitherto issued a daily bulletin of the “sloshing around” nature. Doubtless the suspension of the organ was ad- visable on pecuniary grounds, for it has alwi been a losing speculation; but the subscribers whe had paid their $7 50 in advance are not so satis- fied with the pretext. FIRST RESULT, The result of this affair has not been advan- tageous to the spread of republicanism here, for the fervor o the republican demonstration, and especially the noisting of the flag of a Brazilian Republic, has given great offence even to most moderate monarchists, and was, in fact, a political blunder at this time. It has strengthened the hands of monaeciy, and measures of repression would be acquiesced in now which a short time before would have been denounced as attempts against the liberty of the subject. But the government shows no sign of intention to take further notice of the matter, The republicans of Brazil can hardly yet be sidered in the light of a political party in the country. They include in their ranks a body of men of the highest talent, in their generality Free Masons, who are working quietly to emanci- pate the nation from ignorance and priestly rule; but the great mafority are inexperienced young men and students, who feed themselves upon the misty ravinyrs of the Victor Hugo school, and know no more Oo! the workings of the United States Re public than a cuckoo does of its grandmother. YELLOW FEVER IN BRAZIL Progress and Spread of the Disease—Con< sequences In the Ports of Commerce. hy Rio JANIERO, March 7, 1873. I wish I could say that yellow fever is on the decline. Unfortunately it is on the increase, although no emigrants now feed it, and the amount of shipping in port is largely diminished. It is, im fact, spreading to all parts of the town, and now is falling severely upon the natives or the country as well as on the resident foreigners. One of the deputies has lost by it three of his four children, and the young wife, only seventeen, of the new. Minister of Agriculture has just succumbed. ‘The daily mortality from yellow fever ranges from. forty to fiity. To the south of Rio the only port in which it exists is Santos, a town situated in a man swamp, where its ravages are rather severe com- paratively. To the north it is present in the port of Bahia; severely at Pernambuco aad Aracaju, and the last dates state it had showed itself at Par- chyba. From the River Plate we hear of no more cases at Montevideo. WHY MEN DON’T MARRY. amet ieanisitaatne Lecture by the Rev. Henry Morgan Last Evening ‘in the Seventh Presbyterian Church, The Rev. Mr. Morgan, of Boston, gave his ninth and last lecture in this city at the Seventh Presby- terian church, last evening, for the benefit of the Young Men’s Christian Association. His course of lectures in New York has been quite a success, and has netted a large sum of money for paying the debt on the Morgan chapel in Boston. Mr. Morgan last evening spoke upon the question of “Why Men Don’t Marry,” for which he gave eight reasons, as follows :—First, because they could not get the woman whom they wanted—they looked too high for beauty, talent and perfection which was beyond their reach; second, because tl were cowards—they dared not ‘face the music,’? and quaked at the lightning flashes of a fair maiden’s eye; third, because they were skeptical— they had bo faith in & woman’s constancy, and believed her weak and frail; fourth, because they were selfish and stingy and did not think that they could support wives; fifth, bet women of genius were not always good wives (the reverend gentieman advised his male auditors not to marry geniuses); sixth, of man’s own eXtravagance—many of our young men spent their incomes foolishly, and of course could not afford marry; seventh, be- cause they were afraid of divorce, was made by the laws too easy—free love was poisoning the system of marriage; eighth, because of woman's extravagance—it costs 4$ much to launch a woman on the sea of wedded life In these times as it would to fitout a gmail schooner. As to sails, cordage, pennants and streamers, the difference, he opined, was in favor of tne schooner. As to her outfit, she was to be freighted with bonnets, veiis, necklaces, ear- rings, pins, chains, bracelets, rin, rames, bows, bands, buttons, loops, folds, _pip= ings, pleats, silks, miuslins, laces, fans, boots, slippers, parasois, collars, cuffs, nets, chignens, watertalis, rats, mice, braids, frizzles, switches, patfs, curls, panier, tournure, Grecian bend.
