The “Galaxy” entertainment of the week was given last evening at Association Hall. The regu- lation lecture was varied by tne appearance of Mr. John Brougham as the reader of selections from his own writings. The audience was noPlarge, but it was select and appreciative.

A southwest snowstorm, which set in last night» has prevailed nearly all day. All the railroad trains have arrived on time except on the Boston and Albany Railroad, The storm extends west only to Little Falls. On the river the steamers found tt tmpossible to | proceed, The Daniel Drew, which lett here last night, lay up at New Baltimore and proceeded on ler way at noon, The Dean Richmond, which left New York last night, nad nof arrived this evening, Navigation on the canal was brought to a stand- sul at this point, Steamers and It ‘The Storm on the Hudson, Tivout, N.

The boats irom New York due here and at Newport were delayed by the gale, and had not arrived at noon to-day. The Storm in New England. Bosvon, Nov. 18, 1873, Despatches trom the eastern portion of New England report a heavy fall of snow during the night, with rain to-day. At Lowell five inches of snow fell, and at Portsmouth, N. H., seven inches, which is badly drifted, From a quarter past five o'clock P. M. Monday uatil eight o'clock ths morning 3:01 inches of rain fellhere. The barometer was lower to-day than ever before reported at the signal station in Bos- ton. The gale, which was very severe, caused some damage to buildings, including the partial destruction of the spire of the Baptist church in Randolph street, 50 feet of which was blown down, The meadows and marshes on the Old Col- ouy Railroad were submerged as far as the eye | could reach; and causeways, Wharves and lumber yards were Covered by the flood: The storm on Cape Cod was the most severe of | any which bas occurred tor years.

Violent Storm at Halifax. Hanirax, N.8., Nov. 18, 1873. A violent southeast gale, with rain, began at five o'clock A, M. to-day, increasing to a perfect hurricane by cight o'clock. There was a heavy sea in the harbor, and vessels at anchor were with dificuity enabled to hold on, Several arifted up the harbor, and two— the brig General Canrobert, of Arichat, and the schooner Ida, of Prince Edward Island— Went ashore on Commissioner's Point, near the dock yard, They will get off without damage. The gale was the heaviest experienced here for many years. The barometer fell from 29.80 yesterday to 28,90 to-day, the lowest point reached for @ number of years. The dam- age on land consisted of ruining shutters, taking the slating trom roofs, and fences being blown down. it hay been ramming all day. Serious damage to the shipping off the coast is feared, as fully 50 vessels have sailed from the outporis and Prince Edward Island and are known to be on their way to Halifax. The steamer Chase, from Portland, arrived last night. The steamer Viking, which sunk at Sydney har- bor, has been condemned by surveyors. The Storm in Canada.

The complexion of the met committees on Foreign Relations and Affairs in the Senate and House, as well as the opinions of members and Senators, are matters of grave inquiry. It is found that there are less than @ score, all told, in the city. Among the Senators, however, there are several of the most prominent here. At the extra session of the Senate Committce on Foreign Relations was reorganized, the retirement of Hartan and Patterson having ren- dered that necessary. AS BOW constituted it stands—Cameron, Chairman: Morton, Hamin, Frelinghuysen, Conkling and Schurz, Mr. J rly, the only democratic member, having re- tired gracefully to give Mr. Schurz the oppor- tunity of remaining where he was capable of doing service, The talk about replacing Mr. Sumner at the head of this, his old committee, so rife in Massa- chusetts, does not seem to meet approval here. As now constituted the committee is very con- servative on all affairs witnin its province. Mr. Cameron may be regarded as the most radical. Mr. Schurz has committed himselt before this to an anti-annexation policy. Messrs. Morton and Conkling, administravion leaders, will follow the Jovian nods of the White House. The Indiana lenator has already expressed himself as, having little sympathy with the Cuban victims, much disgust at Spanish barbarity, and has made a clear declaration that guarantees must be had to prevent further outrages, The Senate committee is one to require a vigor- ous public sentiment to bring tt to action without delay. The House committee is still in the chaos of the Speaker's mind, and he is not elected. The last committee was presided over by General Banks, under whose lead the House came within 14 votes of recognizing Cuba. Mr, Leonard Myers, of Philadelphia, second on the old commit- tee, will probably be chairman of the new one. He 1a likely to lead off actively, if not effectively, against Spain, Mr. Willard, of Vermont, 3 extremely cautious, so much as to be esteemed Mr, Fish’s alter ego. Mr. Duell, of New York, will follow the administration, though, until he learns its policy, he will be on the popular side, Mr. Packard, of Indiana, Colfax’s Representative, is probably for teaching Spain a lesson, Fernando Wood is sure to be a pronounced Cuban, or rather anti-Spaniard, These are foriner committee men. Speculation as to who will fill vacancies caused by the non-election of Banks, Ambler, Morgan and Robinson, the last two being democrats, generally fall upon General Banning, of Cincinnatt, as Mor- @an’s successor; General S. A. Hurlbut, of Illinois, as filling the vacancy caused by Ambler; while, it being supposed that the Speaker will endeavor to represent the two most important Southern classes, the colored and ex-Confederate votes, the name of ex-Licutenant Governor Ranster, 0! South Carolina, 1s named for one, and that of General Whitthorne, of Tennessee, for the other vacancy. As to whether that portion of the President's message relating to Spanish-Cuban affairs will be referred, as is usual, to the committees named, will depend entirely upon the character of the docu- ment. The impression prevails quite generally that no reference will be made, but that action, if any is demanded, will at least in the House be had at once, - The Brazil Squadron. Captain T.

AMUSEMENTS. Music—Giulmore’s Concert. Mr. P. 5. Gilmore, of Boston Jubilee fame, tried an experiment last night at the Academy of Music whicn deserves success, It was the inaugu- ration of a new inilitary band, selected trom the best materials that this country can supply, and | designed in time, and after such an experience as Mr. Theodore Thomas has had with his orchestra, to approach near to or reach the stan- Academy of First ample of which we have had here in the band of the Garde Républicaine, of Payis. The number of | perjormers reached 65, and among them were such virtuosi as Mr. Arbuckle, cornet; Mr. Lefebre, saxophone; Mr. Siedler, flute; Mr. Gortelmeyer, oboe; Messrs. Kegel and Wendeishaeter, clarionet; Mr. Dietz, trumpet; Mr. Letsch, trombone; Mr, Friedrich, bassoon, and Mr, Listmann, tuba. This is an excellent nucleus around which a band- | master of Mr. Gilmore’s experience, energy, in- | dustry and intimate acquaintance with music of this kind, can rally materials of the best descrip- tion and mould them into that perfect state of ensemble that they breathe, think and declaim alike. Such has been the result of Thomas’ years of struggies against terrible obstacles. There were two compositions by Mr. Gilmoreon the programme— a ing to the city of his adoption (he has Shaxen the Boston dust from off his feet forever), in the form of a march, and another march | deuicated to the Twenty-second regiment, which | organization has engaged him as their bandmaster jor years tocome. They are effective and in the popwiar vein, as tar as the subjects are concerned, and were really the principal features o! the con- cert, as there was shown in tueir interpretation unmistakable evidences of “athomeness,” lu we may be allowed to use the expression. Every in- s'rument told with effect, and there was that spirit evinced which can only be expressed by the term “go."? Tne solos were equally happy in the result of their selections. Mr. Arbuckle, without the eleciric and glittering style of Levy, displays more real artistic feeling and sympathetic tone on the cornet, and his rendering of one of De Beriot’s violin subjects was marked with ex- quisite finish and skill. The trombone solo of Mr. Letsch, who ranks the first of performers on that instrument in this country, was a gem, and Mr. Lefebre created a marked im- pression by his saxophone solos, and re- ceived = abundant recalls and applause. ‘The band distinguished themselves in the overture to “semiramide,” and the brilliant music of Ros- sini in their hands lost none of its lustre, The opening bars of the overture of “Der Frei- schutz”’ were marred to some extent by the want of promptness en atiague, but the syncopated measures of the second part were ‘iven with precision and esprit. The band warmed up as they penetrated further mortal overture, and the Jinale was interpreted in the most eloquent manner. Reminiscences of vari- ous operas, d la Godfrey or Jullien, an international otpourri and aconcert polka for eight cornets nm unison completed the programimme of this highly mteresting concert. The band made a very pretty appearance in their ianciful untiorms, and opportunities were given to show their proficiency in military drill, The concert proved the ability of Mr. Gilmore to organize a military band worthy oi America, and particularly of the city of his adop- tion, the metropolis.

Ia another piace we give the detaited report of the proceedings in the trial of William M, Tw Judge Davis’ charge being concluded, the jury were informed that they ould — retire. They rose with aiacrity in their seats, seized their hats and overcoats and left, as if glad to have finally reached this siage of the case. Vor that mat- ter nearly every one present seemed equally well pleased, The counsel for the defence continued to pour in their exceptions, “I would like to make a motion,” interrupted Assistant District Attorney Allen. “When the counsel get through with their ex- ceptions I will hear you," answered Judge Davia. “And I wish to get out of the room before the motion if made,” said leading counsel for the de- fence. “TI cam judge the character of the motion from the character of the person who wishes to make it. I have already been sickened with what I have seen, and! wish to be absent during this exhibition of cannibalism.”’ Mr. Allen uttered no word of response to thls fing at his alleged cannibalistic propenaities, “What can tt all mean?’ was avery general in- quiry. “It means simply,’ said one who professed to understand the matter, “that a motion is to be made to commit Mr. Tweed to the custody of an Officer, 30 in Case Of conviction he shall not slip out of the way.” . What might have been the motive did not tran- spire, for Mr, Allen shortly aiterwards remarked to the court, that, by an arrangement with opposing counsel, the necessity of the motion had been obviated, “Mr. Bartlett bas made himself personally re- sponsible for Mr. Tweed’s remaining,” observed a wiseacre to this. Well, the exceptions were finally all submitted, and then the crowd—the court room now being full—began to put onthe free and easy style usual in waiting for verdicts. Those addicted to smoking lit cigars, and large numbers retired to the ad- jointng rooms to stretch their legs and tatk on the proba le results. No one wouid have scarcely be- ieved, from the general interest shown. that this was Mr. Tweed’s second trial. There was, in fact, more interest evinced than on hig first trial. Varions groups speedily formed, and 3n each the trial and the verdict likely to follow were the all- absorbing topics of conversation. “T fear a conviction,” said one, shaking his head in token of his doubt. “so do 1,” satd another sorrowfuily. ‘The Judge's charge was dead against him,” It ig @ singular iact, but very few spoke against Mr, ‘'weed or expressed a hope that he would be convicted. “How do you account for the universal friendly CUBA.

As far as he has observed, Mr. Hamilton considers that the people are mach more radicai on tle means to be employed to obtain redress from Spain than the government. ‘This, he thinks, is a good sign, for there are sO many points involved that if’ the government were hot more cautious ,ae- rious complications = might = ensue. ‘The pressure, however, which the people are bringing to bear i# having @ great etfect upon authority, and they are much more actty they would be otherwise.

What Senator Morton Says. Senator Morton was visited at the Ebbitt House this evening, end asked to express his views as to” wheter arbitration would be resorted to in order to obtain redress from Spain, but, although receiving the HERALD correspondent very courteously, he declined. to express an opinion, 8&8 he said he had not learned all the facts In the case, and, therefore, did nob think it pro; to Bay any- thing about the matter. Opinion of General James A. Garficid. General James A. Garfield, who represeats the famous Western Reserve district of Ohio, and who las heretofore hela one of the commanding poai- tions tn Congress as chairman at different times of the Military, Banking and Currency and Appropriation commitiecs, was found in a comfortable library at bis pleasant residence, on the corner of Thirteenth and I streets. The General was shy of being interviewed, having just been victimized by the printiug of the views of the interviewer for his ow. He said, however, that he fad irom the tn- formation he bad received all possible faith in the intention of the Executive to maintain and enforce our national rights. He thoucht, how- ever, the government more conservative than the people. This he deemed ne- cessary. There could be no doubt that there Was distinct violations of international law, as wel! as atrocious outrages on. humanity in the capture of the Virginius and subsequent executions ai San- tiago. He was in doubt whether, as her character was so well known, if Spain had not someeright to 8 seize —s the Virgioius when found on tne high seas, bound = with hostile intent, Of course he allowed there was a diifer- ence between her legal status and that of a blockade rupner, Which might legally be captured it known and proven to be on her voyage, even when 500 miles from her destination. He hoped that this matter would not result in war, though we must have guarantees as well as reparation and indemnity. The chief thing to be deplored, in his judgment, Ss the unfortunate eilect 1t would have on Castelar and the Republic of Spain. For hia part, ie felt the saccess of that effort was of more consequence than the lives of @ lot of irresponsible tilbusters and Cubans, who violate the right of shel- ter by making our territory the place of plot- ting and movement.

He may have acted indiscreetly, but a more }Iberal man and one truer to his {rlends never breathed the breath of lite.” THE JURY DESIRE EXPLANATIONS, Some commotion was excited by the coming in of the jury at ten o'clock, When it was told they were coming everynody rushed from the adjoining rooms, and there was the most intense eagerness to leari the verdict, if one had been arrived at, or the purpor? of their return. It was soon set at re: they wished the Juc to expiain to them the meaning of the fou count, This Judge Davis proceeded to do by reading, in the first place, that portion of the indictment including this count, and then, stripping the same ol! its verbiage, ex plaming it to them. He also gave them more ‘spe cifle directions as to the form of the verdict they were to render, and the jury again witndrew. nol /RPRISE, Again, on the departure of the jury, there was a renewal of the previous suspense. Again were cigars lit, and again more speculations as to the tinal verdict, “fhat jury is bound to convict,’ was the general exclamation, Meantime Mr. Tweed seemed to show very little anxiety. He chatted with bis counsel with his usual freedom, and greeted his friends in his usual easy, of-land way. Surrounding him were, in ‘addition to his counsel, his brother Richard Tweed, his sou “Young Dick," his private cretary, Mr. Dewey. The time roiled on slowly, The clock pointed to 11 o'clock and yet no signs of the jury. At length the hour of mud- night arrived, and still no jury. Most of the crowd continued to wait pa- tiently, however, Mr. Bonynge, the Court ste- nographer, whose facile fingers had been kept in | motion since nine o'clock in the morning, had at this hour fallen into a geptle repose,’ and, through “tired nature’s sweet — restorer, balmy sleep,” was recuperating his over- taxed energies, Most of the reporters for that | matter, Were in & semi-somnolent condition; and yet, take the crowd altogether, they were a wide- awake party, and evinced an unflagging determi- ion to see the thing oul Ic is going to be a disagreement” was now the remark most generally heard. “Yes, there's a hitch you may depend uponit,” others would exciaim. Another hali hour passed and brought no change in the situation, One o'clock arrived. The only news it brought was that the jury had sent for a pitcher of ice water. "At half-past one o'clock te scene changed from water to brandy. Mr. Tweed was the purveyor, and fur- nished the latter beverage, the drinking, however, being confined to himself and counsel. Scarcely had they taken—in this case—their “morning nip” when it Was announced that the jury was coming. The announcement woke up the sleepers, for many in the weariness of waiting had falien asleep, and al! were agog Waiting the approach of the 12 men honest and true. It proved a false alarm and the sleepers again subsided into taeir somnolency. At two o'clock Judge Davis and counsel were still waiting the coming in of the jury. MR, NAST'S LEOTURE LAST EVENING. As caricaturists M. Coliodion and M. Régamey are superior to Mr. Nast only in one thing—they | print above their burlesque exaggerations the names of the persons caricatured, so that there is no possibility of mistaking the artist’s intention. Mr. Nast is either not so considerate for his au- dience or has greater confidence in his own powers, and on that account we fear that he would Thompson or Messrs. Jarret and Paimer to ac- cept his services, Were it not for this lack of humility the public might possibly expect to see him sandwiched at Niblo’s | between Davies, the ventriloquist, and the Swabian nightingales, or in Miss Thompson's troupe, be- tween that lady’s favorite breakdown and Wille Edoutn’s Heathen Chinee. Be this as it may, Mr. Nast was favored last evening at Steinway Hall with a large andapparentiy not il pleased audi- ence. He came upon the stage about ten minutes ator elgnt, and Was greeted by an which evinced a very evident tion to be pleased. The autobiographical in form, That is to say, the first half was composed of the history aud growth of caricature, and the last half or decails concerning what the lecturer called his professional life. pected that the subject of caricature would, sooner or later, bring him to his own career. We tave mentioned Mr. Nast as a lecturer because the term has come to be Very loosely applied, and signifies almost anything undramatic read by one person before a public assemblage; but it was by his efforts as a caricaturist that all the interest awakened was created. All that was needed to give a decided miscelianeous cuaracter to the entertainment Was a row of jootlights, appropriate flourishes Of music and a suit of tights. The caricatures given were those of Andrew Johnson, General Butler, the suppositious average English traveller, the representative Brother Jonathan and Mr. Nast in search of a situation at the age of 14 ©The entire entertainment was a lively exposi- tion of what cheek and chalk can accompiisn; and It was not to be wondered at that an audience composed of the sympathizers, So many of whom during the last two or phree weeks have sent re- Mittanees to the Heratp tn favor of this hitherto negiected and misunderstood genius, should seem mach pleased. We presume the lecture will be repeated. We have too much confidence tn the number of Mr. Nast’s sympathizers not to oelleve that the audience will be. FAILURE OF A OINOINNAT!

Judge Barbour Lewis, of Memphis, representa the Ninth District of Tennessee, andis aman of convictions, even to the extent of being convinced that his own health was best conservell by absence irom the region of yellow tever. Mr. Lewis is a republican, He dia not hesitate to express his opinion, when asked, that, while the Spaniards were cruel and precipitous in their action at San- tiago and the capture of the Virginius, yet there was jittle occosion for war, the wast- Ing of sympathy or any special ‘excitement | tor the loss of either ammunition, Cuban filibusters or the vessel. They had become a common nui- sance, and tuere was little to choose, in his judg | ment, between Spaniard or Cuban. For his part, he nad no use for Cuba, aud did not believe its ia isition would be of benefit to this countr. yes; he would like to see Cuba independe though he had more regard for Castelar’s success than to desire to put itin peril. The admmmistra- tion, in is judgment, would deal promptly and tairiy, and with due regard to nationai interests. Mr. Lewis, on the whole, regarded i¢ time to keep cool and not tear a passion to tatters, Opinions of John Ambler Smith. Joun Ambier Smith is the representative irom Richmond city, Va. Mr. Smith is a native Vir- ginian, but a republican tn politics, the son-in-law of Senator Lewis, of that State. In answer to the question what he deemed was the opinion of his constituents on the subject of the Cuban troubles. he replied:—“I believe that the sentiment throughont Virginia ts that the United States should at once organize an exvedt- tion to take possession of the isiand. The outrages committed there by the Spanish have been so numerous that the whole civilized world would justify and applaud suchaction. The Spamsh home government is evidently utzerly unable to control these volunteers, and tt ts time some Power strong enough should, in the cause of humanity, step in and interfere.” “What would be the politicai effect in the South- ern States of @ war with Spain?” “It would do more than all the legislation which could possibly be enacted to bring about @ great nutional harmony between = tie two sections of the country. — Virginia would readily respond to a cali for volun- teers with 50 regiments or more if needed. ‘they would be the very best of her population, ail of them men who had served in the armies under Generals Lee and Stonewall Jackson, and they would be 1 by the very best of his surviving officers—such men as General George E.

There would be a Keen rivalry among the Southern esp to see which should first plant the old fag of the Stars and Stripes on the Spanish fortifications, or make the most daring charge on the enemy’s lines. It Would not be many weeks before tue Spanisu troops would be ronted in all portions of the island and compelled to surrender. * “It Virginians have such a desire to prove their allegiance to the oid fiag, now is {t that there ts in that State such a feeling of distrust against the general government?” hat has grown up really of bad management at the end of the war.

The doors of the National Trust Company on Penns sylvania street were closed thia morning, and @ placard fastened on the door, which went on. te State that in consequence of the unexplained ab- dence of the cashier and consequent difiiculty of ascertaining tle exact condition of affairs im the bank and the imposatbility of imme- diately converting securities held by it, the Board of Directors deemed it proper to suspend temporarily. Two weeks ago, the bank having sustained a drain of fully $100,000, the directors informed their cashier, R. J, drier, that an investigation of the accounts wap desired. ‘Yhey bad implicit confidence in his honesty. The state of the accounts of the concern tor a long time past had been known only to himself and the officers of the institution, This report certainly exhibited criminal carelessness, but they thought their cashier was the soul of honor. That was un- impeachable, However, having meta heavyran and avoided suspension, they thought it might be well te overhaul the affairs of the bank, and’ an investi gation was instituted, This course of the directors uritated Mr, Grier, who on séveral occastons lost his temper and accused them of suspecting him of dishonesty. Saturday last he seemed unnaturally: excited, but when he leit the bank in the afternoom he was more calm, and gave notice that he would be at the bank as usual on Monday morning. He failed to put in his appearance yesterday, however, aud i8 still missing Wo-day, and consequently the doors of the bank were closed and experienced accountants took charge of the books. A school bond ior §10,009, the property of & depositor, is «missing, ,and this, with other developed tacts leads_— to the conclusion that Qrier is an embezzler, though to what amount is notknown. Your correspondent in conversation this afternoon with a director, learned that he did not think the amount of the defaication would exceed $50,000, It is difil- cult at this writing to form any idea of the amountsof funds missing. The con- clusion of the examimation of the accounts must be awaited. Tne examination is now going on, and whatever fhe resuit may be no loss will fail upon any depositor or any one connected with the institution except cpon the stockholders.
