Cabinet Defeat in the Legislative Chambers—A Ministerial Crisis Imminent—The Finan- cial Condition and Cost of Unity. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Rome, June 25, 1873, -inother ministerial crisis is threatened. The Chamber of Deputies to-day, by a vote of 157 to 86, rejected @ resolution, supported by the government, to proceed with the discussion of the financial bills. When the vote was announced Signor Lanza President of the Ministry, said he would communi- cate with the King, and inform the House to-mor- row what course would be taken. Minister Lanza’s Advice to the Crown— The Policy of France and Austria a Cause of Government Disquiet. Rome, June 25—Evening. Signor Lanza has telegraphed the King, who is in Turin, advising him to summon Signor Minghettt and Deputies for consultation with regard to the formation of a new Cabinet. FRANCO-AUSTRIAN RECLAMATION AND A NEW CAUSE FOR ANXIETY, The French and Austrian governments have ad- dressed friendly otservations to Italy with refer- ence to the execution of the law abolishing re- ligious corporations, The Opinione dente, the truth of a current rumor that Austria and France have formed an alliance against Italy; but declares that “Italy will seek alliances should they become necessary for the de- fence of her national independence.” National Taxes and Public Discontent. An English writer, dating in Rome at a late moment, sets forth one of the most vital causes which tend to the ministerial embarrassments which impede the progress of public pusiness and disturb the every day serenity of His Majesty the King. He says:— The income tax in Italy is 131-5 per cent. The Italians are remarkably intolerant of direct taxa- tion, and probably no European people are by character so reserved and mysterious about their private affairs, or dislike so much to have them ried into, The most thorough-going partisans of he Ministry are forced to admit the fact that the establishment of the estimates for the income tax has raised a storm of complaints, protests and re- criminations, At fitst the tax was mildly got in, and the proceeds were obviously fraudulently re- stricted. Taxation—no pleasant thing in the most prosperous country—is looked upon as an odious grievance by millions of Italians, to whom it is comparatively @ novelty, and who, during all the years that they clamored for “liberation from their tyrants and for the independence of Italy,’ never thought of estimating the probable cost of the changes they demanded. Now that the bill has come in they abuse the government and try to cheat the tax gatherer—and this is the plain truth of the matter, whatever may be said to the con- trary, FRANCE. Bourse Rumor of a Change at the Treasury— Communists Arrested. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, Paris, June 25, 1873. Arumor which prevails on the Bourse, to the effect that M.

Raphael, member of the Com- mune. GERMANY. The Session of Parliament Closed—Bismarck’s Report of the Condition of the Kaiser’s Health, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. BERLIN, June 24, 1873, Prince Chancellor Bismarck closed the session of the German Parliament, in the name of the Em- peror William, to-day. The Minister, in the course of his speech, said he was “commissioned to express the regret of the Emperor at hia absence through indisposition, from which, however, he was glad to say His Majesty was surely recovering.” AUSTRIA. The Empress of Germany Received in the Capital. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YCRK HERALD, VIENNA, June 25, 1873, The illness of the Emperor of Germany having rendered it impossible for him to visit Vienna, as he proposed, the Empress Augusta has graciously come in his place. The Empress arrived here vo- day, and had a most enthusiastic and brilliant re- ception from the court and the people. IRELAND. Robbery of Arms from a Barracks—Telegraph’s Interruption.

The Republican State Convention met here at eleven o'clock this morning. Hon. J. H. Gear was elected temporary chairman, and, after the ap- pointment of committees, a recess was taken until half-past one o’clock P. M. At the afternoon session J. P.

M. Beck for Supreme Court Judge by acclamation. The Committee on Resofttions submitted a re- port, with a preamble setting forth that they hold the republican party to be composed of persons opposed to slavery, in favor of the equal political and civil rights of all men and the universal eaucation and elevation of the whole American people, socially and morally; that they believe the republican party is still con- trolled by these principles; that itis now, as it peri od has been, composed of the best and purest political sentiment of the country, and that they renew the expressions of their devotion to it, and heir behef that through it they can secure all needed reforms; therefore Resolved, That, prou we are of most of the past record of the republi , We yet insist that it hot rely pon its past achievements, It must be the party of the present of progres: and as it. has preserved the “Union. and freed the slave and protected nim from the oppression of the slave master, it will now be derelict to its spirit and its duty if it does not protect all our people from all forms of oppression, whether by monopolies, centralized capi- tal or of whatsoever kind the oppression may be. ved, That we insist upon the right and duty of the State to control every tranchise of whatever kind it grants, and while we do not wish that auy injustice shall be done an individual — or & corporation who invests capital or industry in enterprises of this kind, we yet demand that no fran- chise shall be granted which is’ prejudicial to the public Interests, or in which rights and interests of the State and people are not carefully guarded. Kesolved, That the producing, commercial and indus- trial interests of the country should have THE BEST AND CHRAPEAT MODES OF TRANSPORTATION possible; and while actual capital invested in snch Means of transit, whether by railroad or otherwise, should be permitted the right of reasonable remunera: tion abuse in their management, excessive rates, oppressive discrimination against’ localities, persons or interests should he corrected by law, we demand Congressional and Legislagive enactinents that willcontrol and regulate the railroads of the country, gave to the people transportation at fair rates and provect them against existing abuses. That we heartily appl sures of the late Congress in ferreting out and exposing corruption; we have seen with profound regret in the developments made thereby evidence of political and off!- cial corruption and abuse of responsible positions by men of all political parties to further personal ends, and we demand pure official conduct and the punishment of un- faithful public men who, having betrayed the confidence freely extended to them, shall not be shielded trom dis- grace for their acts ‘by any partisanship of ours, and we denounce all Credit Mobilier | transactions i] & id the active mea- and all misconduct of whatever form; Resolved, That we believe that whenever any person holding a position of trust given him by the people is guilty of fraud or embezzlement he. should, be convicted and punished under the ‘criminal laws of our land, i addition to the recovery trom him or his bondsmen of the amouut so embezzled. THE BACK PAY STEAL. Resolved, That the act of the majority of the members of the last Congress, involving what is known as “the back pay steal,” by which they voted into their pockets thousands of dollars which did not belong to them, was most flagrantly improper and infamous, and sliould secure the condemnation of all who were @ party to it, and we demand that the provisions ot the late act of Congress, by which the salaries were Increased, shall be promptly and unconditionally repealed. Resolved, That we are desirous of political reform and honest ecohomy and purity in all oficial administration ; that to secure this is the duty of every citizen, and that this end every good man. shonid feel’ bound to ticipate in politics to make an end of lection by securing party nomina- tion. We deciare it the duty of every republican to op- pose the election of a bad nian and incompetent official, whether he be a candidate upon our own or any other ticket. ‘Resolved, That we sympathize with every movement to secure for agriculture and labor their die influence, interest and rights, and the republican party will bé their ally in every just effort to obtain that end. nae resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote.

Meeting of the Reform Association at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Last Night— Demands for Mere Liberal Salaries to Clerks and Less High Pay to Industrial Exhibition. About forty members of the Reform Assoctation of New York city met in parlor F, Filth Avenue Hotel, last evening, Mr. John Foley in the chair, to discuss the pending questions of municipal econ- omy and to take measures te secure further re- forms at the hands of the city government, Among those present were ex-Assemblyman D. 8, Paige, Judge Welch, Alderman Martin, Thomas McLelland, John D, Williamson, Myer Stern and a number of others, The meeting was called to order by Mr. Foley, who said the purpose of the meeting was to receive the report of the Cam- mittee of Twenty-one. To the request that the 700 discharged laborers on the parks be restored, Mr. Stebbins had replied that nothing could be done because nO money was op hand to pay them, owing to disagreements among the city officials, On consultation with a number of members of the association Mr, Foley had been convinced that the following resolutions would serve the purpose. THE RESOLUTIONS were then read: Resolved, That the chairman be directed to frame a letter to His Honor Mayor Havemeyer, requesting that he, as Presicent of the Board of kstimate and Apporuon- ment, shail torthwith convene eoting of sai bert wo authorize the issue of the necessary bonds without delay, the proceeds of which shall at chce be placed to the credit of the Deparment of Parks, so that the men ina: be set to work and the improvements be pushed torwarc to completion; also urging upon the Mayor that justice and fair treatment alike dem nd that ten days’ vacation, with pay, be given during the Summer to all employes of the c: vernmoat, cluding potice, firemen, labor- hanics, under such regulations as may be Hol to interfere with the public service; tice of reducing the small loyes ol several of the deparunents of the elty govern THE CLERKS’ SALARIES. Mr. Joun D, WILLIAMSON said that some of the clerks who had their salaries cut down irom $4,000 to $2,000 did not earn $1,000, Many of them were never to be found at their desks. He thought re- form would be inadequate unless it touched these men, As to Mr. boyle, of Whom he spoke at a pre- vious meeting, he has now gota claim against the city of $93,000 ior work on the Kingsbridge read, Which any engineer in the city would consider $5,000 good pay for. He saw ove man on the public works yesterday make one brick in filteen min- utes by the watch. There has been A TREMENDOUS LOT OF SINECURES. Now, as to Mr. Greene, he is & great economizer, and he 1s supposed to be down on sinecures. But I know of one man in his office who held a sinecure at $1,500 a year—a mere sinecure—and Mr. Greene discharged him and put another man in bis place ‘at $2,400, Mr. Povey said the sinecurists are generally pretty well weeded out, and we can atlord to pay very liberal salaries to our clerks and employés. In the Department of Charities and Correction, and in the. Police Department, clerks’ and telegraph operators’ salaries had been cut down ‘rom $1,800 to $1,000, And in the Tax Commissioners’ office the deputy tax assessors, who have most responsi- bie positions, have had their salaries cut down from $4,000 to $2,000 & year, REFORMING HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS. Mr. D. 8. Paige said he had been to several of the pubiic departments to-day and found none of the heads of them in, ‘The clerks were lounging around, smoking, capering and doing nothing. No company in the’ city would allow their clerks to waste their time in such manner, Reiorm was in- complete unless we have the gight men at the head of departments. Let them attend to their duties, and the cierks will attend to theirs, TROUBLE AMONG THE TAX ASSESSORS, Mr. JENNEY suld_he had been watching the Tax Commissioners’ office tor the last thirty years, and he thougnt if the gentlemen knew of the corrup- tion in that office they would request the Commis- sioners to resign. He was plad the salaries had been cut down. There was excellent reason for cutting them down, The fax Commissioners, tn the days when the Ring was dying, called their deputy assessors together, told them they must open new books, that they needed more money, and that the assessments must be ‘nereased to remedy that need. The salaries of theea deputies were then increased, and when, at the end of their three months? work, the assessments came in, 1t Was seen that the assessments Were greatly increased, the whole assessiuent of New York city being $1,100,000,000—ab eXces Over previous asseasments of $300,000, 000. One poor clerk, who had dared to be honest and refused to increase illegally the assess- ment, bad been discharged, and is now hardly earning his bread by gaslight work in the Croton Board, I hope the deputy assessors will have their salaries reduced to $1,000, They deserve no more, PERQUISITES AND SINECURES are yet spread all over the city, and you have to pay it. The city is two hundred millions in debt, With a prospeci in the current year of twelve mil- Hons more, | believe the Mayor is a capable, hone: high-minded man, but he gets $1,000 for a hait hour's inspection, The Industrial Exhibition bill, which recently passed the Legislature, provides for a sort of crystal palace in the swamps near Harlem, and makes it mandatory on the city to distribute its bonds, Crédit Mobilier fashion, for the benefit of this concern. It would be better to build such an exhibition bullding m the lower part ef Central Park. ‘The Chief Magistrate of this State, who 18 charged with holding $100,000 of stock in that exhibition, deserves a rebuke for signing that bill, and it becomes you, as relormers, to ad- minister it. Judge Wetcu defended the proposed Industrial Exhibition, and sald that it would redound greatly to the benctit of the city. The question then came upon the original reso- lutions, and they were adopted unanimously, THE GOOD WORK OF THE REFORMERS. Mr. WILLIAMSON then said that the Reform Asso- ciation was doing considerable good, for the block pavement, for which the city paid $9 50 a yard, and about which the Reform Association made a stir, has been laid in Brooklyn for $3 50 a yard, AN ARGUMENT AGAINST THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION, Mr. FOLEY objected to the proposed industrial exhibition as adding new expenditures to the city when the debt was accumulated 80 heavily, There were four ratilions of debt due to the gas com- panies alone, which the Comptroller refuses to pay, though they are good bills and will have to be paid, He thought the city, if bonded at all, should be bonded to advance this great work of rapid transit, They would need rapid transit to get people up to the exhibition, but while our docks, the Brooklyn Bridge and other great public works of the city were lying idie, waiting for work and money, he would Oppose the lending of the credit of the city for two million and a half to a private corporation to erect a Crystal Palace. Without further action the meeting adjourned. Rooms have been secured tor future meetings at the corner of Fourth avenue and Seventeenth street. OBITUARY. Thornton Hunt.

He was sixty-two years of age, He was the eldest son of Mr. Leigh Hunt, and was born on the 10th of September in the year 1810, Mr. Hunt was educated to be a painter, but he did not, after a few years, relish a life of inactivity in the studio. He consequently devoted himself to literature, and became a critic on works of art, Imitating Italian precedent, he soon sought to im- part amere matter-of-fact manner to the treat- ment of the subject by publications in the columns of the periodical press. La- man Blanchard introduced him to an English morning journai—short lived—named the Con- stitutional, He became sole conductor of a political department. When the Constitutional broke down Mr. Hunt became editor of the North Cheshire Reformer, and subseguently of the Glas- gow Argus. In the pursuit of his profession as an editor he gained extensive experience of the accual working of the British system of government and its immediate, everyday effect on the masses of the people, He returned to London trom Scotland im the year 1840 and formed a business and profes- sional connection with the Spectaor, This was maintained till the year 1800, ‘The Foster Brother,” an historical romance, was, with the exception of a few pamphiets, the only work which he produced in his own name before the year 1845. He edited his father’s autobiography, published in 1850, and “Leigh Hunt's Correspond- ence,’ which appeared in the year 1862, Since that period he devoted his attention aimost exclusively to political affairs.

Another Great Trio of Conteste—Daly Defeats Cyrille Dion—Garnier Conquers Deery— Joe Dion Succumbs to the Old Wizard and Some “Loaf- ers” —Calendar ofthe Tournament. ‘Tne play in the championship three ball billiard tournament at Irving Hall yesterday attracted the largest audiences, both afternoon and evening, that have yet been assembled to witness this mag- nificent series of contests, At the matin¢e there were at least seven hundred persons in attendance, and at the evening exhibition the hall was filled almost to discomfort, on floor, galierles and aisles, The afternoon game was played by Maurice Daly and Cyrille Dion, The game opened at three o'clock, Daly scoring 3 off the spot lead. Dion fol- lowed with 2 and Daly adaea 6 to his score. Noth- img of interest occurred up to Daly’s fifteenth inning, though the play was careful on both sides, with whatever luck there was most decidedly in Daly's favor. He made 62 in this run by good judgment and care, and then marred it by missing all the balls and forfeitnmg a point. In the twentieth inning Dion made a superb cross shot twice across the table to count a lower left corner, when the balis were ina dead line. Daly in his twenty-filth played a handsome fine shot from the right upper corner ail around the table, and bunched the three in the same corner beautifully. During the game he had six lucky “kisses” into position and tour times on Daly's misses the balls kissed so as to lie badly for Dion. The following ts THB SCORE. Daly—3, 6, 10, 19, 17, 0, 9, 0, 1, 6, 14, 0, 17, 6, 52, 7, 7,0, 5, 0, 1,1, 0, 24, 88, 0, 4, 4, 40, 8, 1. Total, 300, Average, 9 21-31, C.

Before the game commenced Dion and Daly sold even in the pools, THE EVENING PLAY Was lighty exciting, but the pleasure of a close contest up to a certain stage in the last game was interrupted by the bad taste of some loafers who seem to carry their private outside spites into public assemblies, Albert Garnier and John Deery opened the even- ing’s entertainment, and ployee a nice, genteel game. Nothing of especial note transpired up to the fifteenth inning, when Garnter made some beautiful play, using tis talents in the demon- Stration of some exquisite massé, force, fine and draw shots, ie was in excellent playing trim and temper, and laughed repeatedly both at his luck in “scratching” twice and at his misfortune in missing on several occasions. His. wife, a handsome lady, and an expert aiso with the cue, occupied a seat, with some lady friends, in the gallery. In his sixteenth inning he missed & massé in the left upper corner, but the referee allowed a count, and Albert made 33 more, ending his run with 63 In his eighteenth he made a long diagonal draw, which won him much applause. Deery in his twenty- first made a superb shot, The balls were close in line and covered each other dead. He played the whole length of the table, taking two cushions and then counting on an angle glance. He was cheered heartily and deserved it. Garnier made a beautiul, long diagonal draw the 28th innings also, and was warmly eyuincen: The game was admirably played throughout, and both players were at times brilliant in the extreme, ‘The following table shows THE SCORE. 0, 6, 4, 0, 1, 0, 5, 2, 1, 8, 10, 7%, 1, 10, 10, 2, ‘Potal—142. 2,1, 4 7, 27, 2, 0, 1, 1, 2, 18, i 5,'3, 9, '4,'1, 24, 26, 72, 0, 13— Total, 300; average, 9, 1-11, When the last game of the evening commenced the most intense curiosity was manifested to wit- ness Ubassy’s extraordinary execution, but It so happened that he did not play nearly so weil as on Tuesday night. Joseph Dion ‘was the French ivo! “4 twister’s 0) ponent and won the lead, making 4 off the spot. Ubassy followed for two. In Dion’s twelfth inning there was a great deal of precision in distance and excellent esti- Mate of power, and t resulted in ‘a run of Ubassy followed it with 41 and evoked considerable laughter at the singular skill he displayed in nis draws and the marvellous accuracy with which he either kept or brought the balls together. Dion, in his twenty- first inning, played safety after scoring five, the position being Very bad. About this time Ubassy seemed to get in trouble, for he could not contrive to make a double figure run for eight or nine innings, while Joe was slowly creeping up after him, and “the Old Man” lost fis nerve com- pletely, a8 the audience seemed restless when he failed to do something extraordinary. In the twenty-second inning Ubassy missed (if ever a man missed iu this world) and ciaimed a count, which was not allowed. Ubassy was dis- Satistied, however, and Joe turned to the audience and, extending his hand, asked, “Did he make it?’ Fiity voices answered “No and the play went on, Joe scoring 8 In his Range A shy inning Dion again played safety, but Ubassy counted amid tremendous applause. On his thirtieth inning Dion had scored one, and made a second, but the referee allowed a claim of foul on the ground that the snot was @ push, The shot was ag lair a shot as was ever played, and the referee was unquestionably in error. It unnerved Joe some, who up to this time had given Ubassy a dangerous chase, which the old man clearly felt to be dangerous. Then some low rufians in the audience, wearing the sartorial disguise of gentlemen, began a series of brow- beating annoyances towards Dion. It was cowardly in the extreme thus to attack @ man sneak fashion In the presence ofa large audience, when all his nerves were highly strung in a delicate and critical contest. At last Ubassy, in his thirty-third in- ning, formed all the balls in @ heap off a nervous miss by Joe. The old man scored 22 by play, then missed, but counted by an awful scratch on the return of the ball and went in for a long run of 88 points. While he was mak- ing it the loalers ‘‘zuyed” Dion shamelessly, who sat motioniess in his chair for some time. ‘Joe, go home,” “Put on your coat, Joe,” and such remarks were made. If he left his seat'to look whether the balls were foul, as he had the most unquestioned right to do, hd was annoyed by offen- sive remarks, which so affected him he even failed to hit a ball, Ubassy made 66 points olf tuat “scratch,” but, of course, ‘they counted.” ‘The following is THE SCORE.
