The National Assembly Reas- sembled in Session. President MacMahon’s Message to the Legislative Body. «Europe Assured” of the Preservation of Peace and Conservatism. Free Citizen Discussion of the Form of Government. THE POWER OF PARLIAMENT INTACT. What the Republic Requires for the “Defence” of Society. DEBATE AND DIVISION. Resignation of the Ministry. TELEGRAMS TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. ~~ parts, Nov. 5, 1873. The National Assembly met to-day at Versailles, President MacMahon sent a message to the As- sembly, which was read shortly alter the Por ing. The Message. The message begins with congratulations on the liberation of the territory and the maintenance of order, and continues as follows:— Europe is assured that we are firmly resolved to preserve peace, therefore without fear she sees us resume possession of our territory. The administration has always acted in the conserva- uve spirit which animates the great majority of the Assembly, from which I never depart. The agitation of the public mind redoubled in intensity as the period of your reassembling approached, because 1t was requisite to discuss the constitutional bills, which necessarily involve the question of the form of government, I had neither to mtervene in these discussions nor to forestall your sovereign decision, but merely to confine the former within legal limits and proviae that the latter should be respected. r power, therefore, is intact. Nothing can impede its exercise. Perhaps, however, you may think that, in the present situation, with party feeling so strong, the establishment of any de- finitive form of government presents serious dif™l- culties, and that it would be more prudent to maintain the existing institutions. If so, permit me, elected to an honor whichI did not seek, to tell you frankly my opinion, To thoroughly insure public peace the govern- ment absolutely lacks two things, the essential conditions of eMciency. It has neither sufficient Vitality nor authority, Itcando nothing durable, If the rights of the government are daily ques- \loned, with its powers liable vo be changed at any moment, it can secure peace to-day, but not safety to-morrow. Great undertakings are im- Possible. Industry languishes. We are unable to restore that confidence abroad which is necessary to the restoration of the greatness of the nation. The government lacks authority, for it is unable even to obtain obedience from its own agents, or to repress the excesses of journals which are cor- rupting the public mind. You will consider these dangers, and create a strong, durable Executive, which can energetically defend society. Reception of the Message and Debate by the Members. Paris, Nov. 5, 1873. The Deputies of the Right warmly cheered the message. THE DEBATE AND DIVISION, The Right moved that the executive power be conferred on Marshal MacMahon for the term of ten years; that he continue to maintain the pres- entiorm of government until the constitutional bills are voted, and that a committee of thirty be appointed to examine the said bills. Baron Eschasseriaux, Bonapartist, moved that the people be called upon to decide, on the 4th of January, 1874, whether the monarchical, repub- lican or imperial form of government shall be adopted. M. Goulard demanded that the motion of the Right be declared “urgent.” He said the country was unabie to await the result of a long discussion on the constitutional bills. The Duke de Broglie, on the part of the govern- ment, supported the demand for urgency. M. Dufaure said the Assembly at its last session had ordered that the bills organi zing the execu- tive and legislative powers should be discussed within a month after the recess, Notwithstanding this the government now supported a motion which proposed to deal separately with and thereby postpone the question, The message of the Executive experessed the general desire for the adoption of a definite gov- ernment, but yet advised the continuance of the present precarious régime, He concluded by moving that all the motions, together with the constitutional bills, be referred to the same committee, M. Rouher said he could only yete for “urgency” ifall the propositions were referred to one com- mittee. After further debate the motion of the Right was declared “urgent” by a large majority. A deciaration of urgency for the motion of Monsicur Eschasseriaux was demanded and was supported by M. ‘Thiers and the Deputies of tho Lett, but it was defeated. M. Grévy, in @ speech supporting M. Dufaure’s motion, denied the right of the Assembly to con- fer on the government a longer term of power than if possessed itself, He expressed the belief that the Right really wished to defer the consider- ation of the constitutional bills indefinitely. M. Goulard declared that he was sincere in his intention ol bringing them to a discussion, THE VOTR. M. Dufaure’s motion was rejected by a vote of 862 to 343, Resignntion of the Ministry—Cabinet Reconstruction in Prospect. Lonvon, Nov. 6—5:30 A.

AMUSEMENTS, Italian Opera—Martha, Madame Nilsson was greeted with a full house last night, at the second performance of Flotow'’s genial, sparkling work. Her ren™ dering of the title rdle i8 deservedly popu- lar, on account of the charming nitveté of her acting and the adaptability of the pure, crystal- like tones of her voice to the flowing melodies with which the opera abounds. The simple beauty of the interpolated Irish melody appears without a blemish, and receives even additional lustre from the exquisite expression of Mme, Nilsson’s singing. Gayety and pathos are admira- bly blended in her impersonation of Lady Heurietia, ‘and unconscious grace adorns each aria and scene. M. Capoul undertook the rdle of tne lovesick Lionel, and was received with such aemon- strations by the audience as betoken the presence of a favorite. Where love making is in question the acting and singing of M. Capoul cunnot fail to captivate the hearts of all the ladies in the audience. He sang “M’appari’? with such passionate fervor and intense expression that an uproarious recall was the consequence. Traces of his recent indisposition were per- ceptible in his vice, and nothing but his finished art saved him from breaking down in one or two scenes. Miss Cary and Signor Del Puente were in excellent voice, and won iresh laurels. On Friday evening the first great event of the season will take place, Meyer- beer’s chef dauvre, “Gli Ugonotti,” will be pre- sented with avery strong cast, Madame Nilsson appearing as Valentine and Signor Campanini as Raoul. On Sunday evening the company appear in concert at Wallack’s. Mr. Bellew at Steinway Hall. Mr. J, M. Bellow, the far-tamed elocutionist, read last evéning at Steinway Hall on behalf of the Foundling Asylum. He was welcomed by a very large and appreciative au- dience. It is generally deemed ungracious to = eriticise ®& periormance devoted to acharitable object, But though incompetency or mediocrity may in such a case be entitied to the cover of the proverbial mantle of charity, the higher efforts of art. though they may fall short of perfection, will, under all circumstances, claim honest criticism. It is unnecessary to say that Mr. Bellew’s performance last even- ing belongs to the latter category. He read the following pieces:—“Thne Execution of Montrose” (J. F, Waller), ‘Lost and Found’? (Ham- ilton Aide), “The Glove and the Lions” (Leigh Hunt), “The Charity Dinner’ (Litchfield Moseley), the closet scene of ‘Hamlet,’ “The Story of the Faithtul Soul’? (Ade- laide Proctor), and lastly, “The Batile o! Fontenoy” (W, J. Corbet). Nature has endowed Mr. Bellew with all the requirements for his call- ing—a fine, expressive face, a powerlul, musical voice, which, skilfully modulated, is capable of a widerange. His reading is at times slightly marred by what might be termed elegant mannerisms, particuiarly in the rendering of descriptive pas- Sages and others which do not cal! for especial | power. In passages requiring force and pathos In the reading ot “The Charity Dinner’ ne showed a keen sense of humor and versatility and a marvellons flext- bility of countenance, representing as he did two widely different characters, one of them being an English specimen of soc imbecility and imprac- ticable philantnropy. is rendering of the closet in “Hamlet” uneven. Some parts he read, others he acted, and, although the reader was skilfully blended with the actor, the different characters were at times not sufficiently distinguished from one another, either by voice or gesture. Mr. Bel- lew rose, however, to the heignt of the situation in depicting the terror and tumultuous passions of Hamlet. His horror at the appearance and de- parture of the ghost was rendered with a histri- onic ability of the highest order, Mr. Bellew reseryed his highest efforts for the last piece on the progrograme—The Batue of scene was Fontenoy,” & long historical poem, in the heroic strain, especially written for him by . le Jorbet. This poem is not to be confounded with the well known verses, entitled ‘Fontenoy,” which were writ- ten years betore by Tom Davis, and in the recitation of which Miss Teresa Esmond, among others, achieved great popularity. There is nothing in common between the two except the subject. Mr. Belew rendered the poem in question with much spirit and power. Like the Irish Brigade at Fontenoy, he took the whole audience by storm, calling forth most enthusiastic applause. Nothing can be finer than his recitation of the climax of the oem, the bloody meeting between the avenging rish Brigade and the troops of the “Butcher of Culloden.” In parts. of the poem his reading was accompanied with music, or, in the words of the programme, with military march and incidental music, introducing, as they were actually played on the fleld of battle by the soldiers, the “British Grenadiers,” the “White Cockade,” “St. Patrick’s Day.” The music was well rendered by the band of the Seventh regt- Ment, which also periormed at the intervals of the rogramme. Altogether Mr, Bellew’s periormance last evening Was a genuine triamph. YELLOW FEVER Onty Four Deaths in Twenty-Four Hours. Mempuis, Tenn., Nov. 5, 1873.

Anxiety Concerning the Issue of the Creditors’ Mecting—Opposition to Ex- Governor Smyth’s Appointment as Wrustee. PROVIDENCE, Nov. 5, 1873, To-morrow is the eventful day which is to decide whether the Spragues shall be allowed to convey their property to trustees, to be managed and disposed of so as to meet the claims of creditors, or whether the company shall be forced into bankruptcy. The meeting of creditors is likely to be a stormy one. There are Many opinions as to the choice of metii- ods, and there is especially great hostility to ex- Governor Sinyth as one of the trustees, Smyth is a relative of the Spragues, and of Mr. Thurston, the Spragues’ lawyer, and he aspires to be tne leader of the Sprague faction in politics. Ali these reasons conspire to make him very unacceptable to many of the creditors who are politically hostile to him. Other and business reasons add to the improva- bility oi his being chosen a trustee. The Sprague people bave been very anxious—perhaps unueces- sarily anxious—to give him the place. If his nomi- nation is insisted upon, and he is named in spite Ol all opposition, it will be very much like RUSHING UPON BANKRUPTCY as @ matier of choice on the part of the Spragues. Many persons will refuse to accept him and resort to the courts for thelr remedy. Governor Howard has already declined to ac- cept a trusteeship, and Mr. Waterman is sup- posed to be indifferent, so that the list may be made entirely new. his is really the only ques- tion for the meeting to settle, and tt must be settled to the general satisfaction to be entirely approved in the end; for though men may pledge themsclves to-morrow to accept the bonds under the trusteeship they can afterwards refuse to comply, and, retaining their present evidences of indebtedness, resort to the courts whenever they deem it desirable. To a considerable extent this will be done, for creditors to the amount of $11,000,000 are not likely to be of one mind as to their best remedy. [t would be almost a@ miracle if the plau suggested by the should be completely successful, That the meet- ing to-morrow should practically result in a course hostile to the adoption of the trusteeship plan would not be surprising. There wag a strong feel- ing here to-day favorable to the overturning of TRE FAMILY PLAN, and the effort may or may not be made, according to circumstances, Any trouble at the meeting throws the whole matter into the courts, and an attempt to press Smyth’s appointment would cer- tainly doit. If there 1s no trouble the creditors, who have no attachments to the Sprague house, can afford to wait events; but in a community where there are so many diverse and bitter per- sonal and political interests bankruptcy in the end seems inevitable. The only thing which deters some of the creditors from pursuing the bankrupt policy is the fact that so many operatives would be thrown out of employment by the stop- page of the milis. This is, indeed, the most serious view of the case, and it will be pressed by many crediturs who are indifferent to the safety of the bprague in support of the sprague, ‘The Sprague organ here, whfch has been highly indignant and violently bitter against ail outside parties who have courageously expressed their Teasonable fears and honest convictions, coniesses, in an editorial tn this evening's issue, great anxiety about the result to-morrow, and makes the follow- ing last APPEAL TO THE CREDITORS. We are exceedingly anxious for the sake of tho numerous creditors of the Messrs, Sprague, the vast interest involved, the result upon the indus- tries and business of the State, as well as for the Messrs. Sprague themselves, that aspirit of kind- ness, @ wise and generous policy, vroad, liveral and in accord with tue well kuoWn reputation of our business men jor generosity and fairness, shall pervade the meeting to-morrow. All questions loreign to the one in nand should be ignored. If any.ohe has a grievance iet him keep itin his own bosom and seek its solution at some other and more appropriate occasion. If any one has some get aud deiinite metuod of procedure, involving measures and men, let him in advance resoive to abide by the judgment of @ majority of those involved with him in tiis temporary dis- aster. There can be but one object and one desire among ali the right minded, and that to make the vast property Of this house meet tie last dollar of its liabilities and save whatever of surplus may be leit jor those to whom it of rignt belongs by the earning of it through generations of tot! and en- terprise. All othef motives are wrong and should be ignored. The method proposed by the able commuttee appoiated by the bauks looks only to that end, and is judicious. The only other alterna- uve is for the parties themselves to place their property voluntarily in bankruptcy under the law und have a very large share oi its assets eaten up in the expense of settlement and by forceu sales under the order of the officers of the law. That Involves disasters to the creditors, large and small, which @ wise forecast and prudent speech and action should avoid. Lt involves an immediate suspension of all the mills and print works and other manufacturing property, the continuance in Operation of which can alone prevent its de- Vertoration, and the stoppage of which will produce suiering and want among thousands o! our labor- ing people. No such alternative should be put to the election of the Messrs. Sprague; nefther need it be. There is a manifest desire to protect every creditor. Let every creditor meet that feei- ing with a like feeling, and all will be well. As the case stands to-day the business can be arranged so that only @ tyes net embarrassment and no permanent loss will result, We trust it will so sigud to-morrow alter the meeting of the credi- tors. If the better qualities of human nature con- trol the meeting all will be well and confidence will be at once restored, LABOR IN LOUISVILLE. Strikes and Suspensions—Operators Out ot Employment, LOUISVILLE, Nov. 5, 1873. The lower rolling mills at New Albany closed to- day, the workmen demanding an advance of wages, to which the proprietors would not accede. All hands were dtscharged.

An unfortunate and dreadful murder occurred in | Flanders, near Dover, N. J., on Monday night, in which John Force, aged seventeen, shot and | killed Henry Miller, a married man, turty | years of age, in the latter’s house in the west end of the township, It seems that Force had a hard character, although a mere youth, and that Miller’s wiie was of equally bad reputation. Force and Mrs, Milier had been on terms of tutimacy for some time, Force being frequent visitor at Miller’s home, On Monday even- | ing, at about half-past seven o’ciock, Force cailed as usual at Mrs, Muller's, and while there met Milier in the dining room. Hot words sprang up between the two men, which | speedily resuited in Force’s pulling outa pistol and shooting Miller throug the forenead, causing almost immediate death. The murderer then leit the Louse, hid his pistol tn some undiscoverabie place and Waikxed rapidiy toward home, A short distance velow tie scene of the murder he met one Mr, Casey, to whom he confessed his crime. Casey allowed him to pro- ceed, and he immediately went to bis father's house, about five miles distant, where he undressed and went to bed, Casey proceeded to @ justice of the peace and narrated the particulars as told by Force. A Warrant was issued by the justice, and early on uesduy morning Force was arrested and taken to Morrisiown, Mrs. Milier was the sole witness of the affray and ig the only person whose testimony wil be of any importance, She tells, however, diferent stories of the catse of the murder, and contradicted both her own and Force’s version. Force, when asked him what he did With the pistol, replied that it was where it would never beseen again. Justice Buck is to hold an inquest on the body of the murdered man, When the lacts will doubtiess be elucidated.

TESTING STEAM BOILERS. E£xecutive—Ex- Some Exciting Experiments to be Made | at Pittsburg—The Ground and Boiiers Now in Position. PrrrssvrG, Nov. 3, 1873. Preparations for experimenting on steam boilers | for which purpose Congress last winter appropr ated $100,000, have been almost fully completed at this city. The points chosen for these experi- ments are Sandy Hook, N. Y., and Pittsburg—this | latter place by reason of its being a great iron mart and for the extensive business done in the manufacture of boilers for western steamboats. Tue commission appointed to carry out these series of experiments are General D. D. Smith, of New | York ; Captain J. S. Devinney, of Steubenville, Obio; | Benjamin Crawiord, of Pitisourg; Isaac V. Holmes, | of Mount Vernon, Ohio, and W. L. Hawkins, of | Lock Haven, Pa, The tract of land secured for the j | | purpose of testing the strength of these iron vessels ig known as the Minhall farm and is sit- uated about six miles from the city, on the banks of the Monongahela River. The testing ground is | not @ great distance from the Poor Farm, and this accounts for the falling off in the number of in- mates to this institution auring the past few | weeks. Ina deep ravine, Woody and melancholy 12 appearance, taree boilers have been placed in position known as the high-pressure marine boliers, the Western river steamboats. These vessels are set at right angles with the Monongahela River | and the Mllside. The drst boiler is a tinished piece of workmanship, of extra strength and double | riveted, Its shell is of one-fourth inch iron; its heads of one-half inch iron, and in length it is 24 feet long by 40 inches in diameter and it weighs 6,000 pounds. ‘The second boiler also bears the ap- pearance of the highest mechanical art. Unlike the otuer it is constructed of steel, and great care is apparent in the manner of the riveting of the seams—two rows of rivets running along each Jomt or seam. It has two flues, and is of similar dimensions as the previously described boiler, This vessel, it is supposed, will sustain a pressure or fully 1,000 pounds er square inch before collapsing. These two boilers were made in this city, but the third was con- structed in Cincinnati, and from the tact that its makers Were ignorant as to the purpose to which it Was to be put, the imference is that no extra work Was done on it. The supposition is thai it fairly represents the average steamvoat boiler. | Its dimensions are precisely the same as tne | others, and but one row of rivets ruu along its seams, The bomb proofs or retreats for those having | charge of the experiments are alarmingly close to the doomed botiers. They are situated neur the forward end of each botier, not in any instance be- ing farther distant than fliteen feet, The sides of the hill form two walls of these structures, and then there is a very thick wall of white oak timber sur- rounding the remaining two sides. Thege wails are of the best white oak timber roc, and put together carefully and with au eye great Strength, The roof of the retreat is @ solid tin ber, thirty-two inches in thickness, over Which Is a character, Force is a “rough’’ in the worst sense of the ward, and 1s said to have acquired that reputation throughout the county.
