\NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET. THE VIRGINIUS. Spanish Idea of an Official Demand for the Re- turn of the Steamship, the Passengers and Crew—Preident Castelar Said to Have Communicated w:th Mr. Sickles. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, Maprip, Dec. 20, 1873, itis reported thatthe Cabinet has decided to make a demand upon the United States govern- ment for the return of the steamship Virginius and her passengers and crew, recently given up. It is also said that in accordance with this deci- sion President Castelar has written to Minister Sickles, . Minister Sickles to Resig: Marin, Dec. 20, 1873. General Sickles, the American Minister, has de- termined to tender his resignation, Volunteers’ Excitement in Havana Over the Delivery of the Virginius. Key West, Dec, 20, 1873. The demonstration which was made in iront of athe Captain General’s palace in Havana on Wednesday, as soon as it was reported that the Virginius had departed, was a perfect mob. It ‘was quelled by the Captain General, who called ‘out the volunteers and kept three squadrons of cavalry in perpetual motion about the city. Fourteen of the rioters were arrested and put in prison. CONSTANT DANGER TO LIFE, The city is patrolled and guarded by the volun: : teers constantly, so that it is dangerous for any one to appear on the streets at night. The voiun- teers shoot right and left, friend or foe. THE VIRGINIUS has been removed from Havana to Bahia Honda, after a bold attempt to burn her in the harbor, and atnight, through tear that the populace woula rise against the authorities. The newspaper kco de Cuba appeared in mourning on Monday, bewailing the humiliation of Spain and crying out that the Spaniards in Cuba, at least, were blameless for the degradation inflicted on the nation, and for the “disgraceful yielding to the eternal enemy.” The paper says :— We are not rebels, We can never be rebels. We respect and obey the principle of authority, and for this reason. The Virginius went out of the port of Havana, but the most profound pain over- ‘whelms to-day all loyal men. The ports are clad an mourning, and jor this reason the Eco de Cuba @ppears in black border lines, The same paper says that the delivery of the Vir- ginius is ‘‘virtually the delivery of Cuba over to the United States,” MINISTER SOLER yesterday received a despatch from President Cas- telar, instructing him to inform the owners of slave property that they must be prepared for the immediate emancipation of slavery. Minister Soler called a meeting of the principal slave own- ers of Havana, and notified them that he required from them before the 20th inst., the date of his proposed departure for Spain, a statement of the conditions on which they are willing that slavery Bnould be wholly abolished. He says the matter must be settled one way or the other by the gov- ernment of Madrid, but the Cabinet is disposed to listen to everything which willrender the system Of total and proximate emancipation as little in- convenient and conflicting with property values end social arrangements as possible. CARTAGENA, Spanish Advance on Sieged City—Severe Fight- ing After Daring Sorties. TELEGRAM TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. MADRID, Dec. 20, 1873. The republican troops besieging Cartagena ad- vanced to within 800 metres of that city yesterday and took some prisoners. During the day the intransigentes made several Borties, but were driven back each time, The Minister of War has sent a telegraphic de- Spatch to General Lopez Dominiquez, commander of the government forces, congratulating him and his troops upon the success of their operations. ACHEEN. fate S"s Dutch Military Progress Despite Many Local Difficulties, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. PENANG, Dec. 20, 1873. The Dutch troops in Acheen are aow in possession pf all the country on the left side of the Acheen River. The march of the Dutch is strongly resisted by the Acheenese. INDIA. Famine Imminent in the Province of Bengal. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Caxcutra, Dee. 20, 1873. One-half of the supply of food in the province of Bengal has been exhausted, and 1t 1s now believed that a famine cannot be averted. Thus far there has been no actual distress among the people. NOBLE BENEVOLENCE. Visits of the Earl of Roseberry to St. Vincent’s Home for Boys. The Earl of Roseberry, of Manchester, England, accompanied by several gentlemen, visited the above institution recently, and in connection with this visit is related a very touching incident which happened a few days afterwards, The Earl baving met a little bootblack in the streets, and, attracted by the boy’s general ap- pearance and behavior, questioned him as to his name, parentage, residence, &c., determined to romote the lad’s interests, and consulted with ‘ather Drumgoole as to the best means of doing 80, Stating that if after investigation the boy was found worthy he would at his own expense educate him ior any pursuit that was suitable to his capacity. The good father made the necessary inquiries and found the boy’s statement entirely corre ct; he was the son of a widow with seven children, and had been in the habit of visiting St. Vincent's Home occasionally and receiving religious tnstruc- tion there, Upon the Eari’s return from Wash- ington he, in company with a gentieman whom be wished to see the Home and become acquainted with its workings, made a more thorough examl- Datton of the various departments, and again ex- pressed his entire pleasure and satisfaction at What he saw. On being informed of ‘Pat's’? (the little boot. Diack) story and vhat it was correct, he placed in Father Drumgoole's hands a sum 0} money sufm- cient to clothe and enable the boy to begin his Studies, and, at the same time, presented the father witha handsome donation for the benefit of the Home, ‘The opinion which he holds with regard to the Useiainess and character of the work of the Home 1s best expressed by himself ina letter which he wrote Father Drumgoole on the eve of his depar- ture from this country, ‘rhe following is a cop; Brevoorr Hovse, Dec. 17, 1873.

After 15 years’ floundering in the Slough of Despond the Pnilharmonic Society of Brooklyn have at length found their way out. Tue cicerone is Mr. Theodore Thomas. The first concert of the sixteenth season, or seventy-ninth concert, of the society took place last night at the Academy of Masic across the river, and for the first time the house was packed from parquet to dome. The society sprung at once into popularity when it engraved on its banner the name of such @ favorite maestro, The orchestral part of the programme consisted of Raff's celebrated and deservedly popular symphony, “In the Forest;” Beethoven's overture to ‘“Coriolanus;” scherzo, “Queen Mab,” Berlioz, and the second “Rhapsodie Hongroise,” by Liszt. Mlle. Torriani, of the Strakosch Italian opera troupe, was the soloist, and her selections were the jewel song from “Faust” and the mad scene from Thomas? “Hamlet.” Mr. Behrens conducted both vocal works, and deservedly shared with the fair vocal- ist the success of the occasion. Despite the great inconveniences of attempting two grand operatic scenes in a concert which depend so much for their proper interpretation on the surroundings, Mlle. Torriant gained deserved applause in both arias, She reproduced the first grand scena of Marguerite in the temptation act with rare power and effect and rivalled Nilsson in the truthiulness and intensity of expression of her rendering of this trying scena. Her second attempt was a still more ambitious one and was equally successtul. ‘The only tolerabie music in Hamlet’ is that which illustrates the in- sanity anddeath of Ophelia in the last act. Mlle. ‘Torriant was so successful in this scene that the audience unanimously recalled her, With Herr Behrens as conductor, Mile, Torriani achieved Jast night @ positive triumph. The performance of the symphony was simply peuiee , asitrevealed the fact that Mr. Thomas ad brought his own orchestra to Brooklyn last night. 'e have already spoken at length of this popular work of Raff, which, independent of pla- giarisms, must, by reason of its ¢lan and vivid coloring, command at all times popular sympathy, Beethoven’s overture, not by any means the most interesting of the great composer's works, went like a charm, strings, reeds and brasses’being so equally balanced that po fault could be found with the ensemble. But the great feature of the concert was the paeraroactene rendering of Berlioz’s fairy piece. A distinguished admirer of the French composer thus speaks of this scherzo:—“This Cyclops can also become an elf. Here you hear an orchestra played by gnats and grasshoppers, the violins veiled with spiders’ webs and the flutes cut from reeds, One has no tdeaof the delicacy of this speech. The confessions of roses, the coinplaints of violets, are noisy in comparison.” This is a true, lile-like picture, but tew can understand the immense diticulty of photographing it as a musician would desire. Thomas is the successful artist. There came a tinge oi color, delicate as if a@ humming bird’s wing had touched the subject for a moment, a note or chord for the wind instru- ments, a breath of brass, a con sordini motive tor . the violins, and everything was ethereal and iairy- like in the rendering. Tne orchestra of Thomas was pulsant with lile; expression became a part and soul of the promptitude and correct- ness with each, every phrase of the com- poser was delivered, and the intricacies of orchestral works were unravelled with af Where the inimitable S$ is heard, with the Cagliostro wand of the conductor over them, there can be but a glorious triumph. Such he gained last night in Brooklyn, even with the difficult task of interpreting the great piano work of Liszt, “Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. 2,” in orchestral form, The magic of the appearance ot Theodore Thomas as conductor and of Mile. Torriani as solo vocalist brought out the Brooklyn pubiic to an unpre- cedented extent last ni ht. Masical and Dramatic Notes. Never since the war has the theatrical business in this city evoked so little interest or proved so unprofitable as this season. The piece which is underlined at the Lyceum Theatre, and in which Mr. Fechter is to take the Jeading part, is based on the old play of “Robert Macaire.”” A complimentary concert is to be given at De Garmo Hall to-morrow evening to Mrs. Agnes Vedder. Mr. Pattison, the pianist, and other well known professionals will take part in the enter- tainment as well as several amateurs. Mr. E. L, Davenport, the tragedian, appears at Wood's this week. Mr. Davenport has not playea in this city for many months, and his present en- gagement can scarcely fail to prove a great pleas- ure to his many admirers. With tne exception of the Olympic all the thea- tres have already produced their Christmas pieces, and at this house the new piece will be brought out on Tuesday evening. The piece is called “Gabriel Grub,” and is intended to be light, airy and amusing, as fits the season. “A Man of Honor,” Mr. Dion Boucicault’s com- edy, Was not produced at Wallack’s last nignt, as announced. A large audience was disappointed by this bad management. Want of suMicient re- hearsal was the excuse for postponing the produc- tion until to-morrow (Monday) evening. It is a great pleasure to have the Strakosch Opera Company on the boards of the Academy during Christmas week. The opera on Wednesday evening will be ‘Les Huguenots,” and *AYda" will be sung on Christmas night. Nilsson again sings on Friday evening and ‘AYda" will be repeated at the matinée on Saturday. ’ LECTURE BY DE CORDOVA. Mr. De Cordova, the humorist, lectures to-mor- row evening atthe East Side Hail, Kighty-sixth street and Third avenue, in the lecture course of the Yorkville branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association. CALIFORNIA UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP, a Rejoicing Over Governor Booth’s Elec- tion. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 20, 1873. In joint convention of the Legislature to-aay, on @ ballot for United States Senator for the long term, Booth received 60 votes. One member was absent. There is much rejoicing here and at Sacramento over the election of Booth for United States Sena- tor, for the long term, and the consequent defeat of the railroad monopoly. The result will give un- bounded satisfaction throughout the State. LOUISIANA , JOCKEY CLUB.

The hearing for the contracts for the European Mail service for the ensuing term of 15 months came off before the Postmaster General to-day. Most of the European companies were repre- sented, the Hamburg and the Eagle lines claiming respectively the Thursday mails, tne Cunard the Wednesday mails, and the German, the Inman and the Oceanic or White Star line the Saturday mails. The chief contest was between the Inman and the White Star lines. The Inman line formerly carried the mail, and did so up to September, 1872, when the contract was taken from them on ac- count of the superior speed of the White Star line. The Inman line now claim that the contract should be restored to them by reason of the adaition of their three new vessels. Mr. J. W. Gerard, Jr., appeared as counsel for the Inman line, and Mr. Edwards Pierrepont fer the White Star line, How little reliance is to be placed on recom- mendations was shown by the fact which came out in the argument of the counsel that prominent bankers and business men of New York had signed the request of both lines, urging that the contract be given respectively to them. Mr. Pierrepont claimed that the White Star line was 22 hours faster than the Inman line; and, therefore, entitled, on the score of speed, as well as certainty and se- curity, to the contract. The plan which was deter- mined upon by the Postmaster General of giving the mails to the fastest steamer on the several days of sailing, © no matter what line she might belong to, while it met with favor from some of the steamer agents, by others was looked upon as a scheme that will not practically work well. None of the lines being considered as United States mail lines, but only occasional carriers, 1t is thought will produce an indifference to the performance of the service, by its becoming thus a matter of little or no profit, Those lines which, like the Cunard, have no op- position steamers sailing on the same day, will, of course, have no competitors and will have the contract as heretolore, The rivaiship will be matnly among the Saturday lines, an‘l the carrying will, doubtless, alternate very frequently between the Inman and the White Star steamers. It will make the Atlantic, for these lines, a weekly race- course, The Postmaster General, after the hearing an- nounced that he would not make any contracts at present, but would hereaiter arrange a system by which the European mails shall be despatched from New York four times a week, on the steamers sailing on any given Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs+ day or Saturday, which, according to its past record, best fulfils the three conditions of speed, security and certainty. Louisiana Complications—What Is Ex- pected from the Durell Investigation. A new complication has transpired in the Pinch- back matter. The committee to investigate Judge Durell leaves here Monday night jor New Orleans, to take testimony during the holiday vacation; and as Judge Jeremian M. Wilson, of Indiana, who overhauled Judge Delehay’s reputation, is at the head of the committee, there is but slender ground on which to base an expectation of white- wash, sifted to the bottom, and, as its ontcome can hardly fail to be the impeachment of the corrupt Judge, the result will have a serious bearing upon the legality of the Kellogg government, and thereby upon the question of Pinchback's admis- sion to the Senate, Besides this there is a new scandal afloat, which is to the effect that Pinchback not only bribed Blanchard to make affidavit to his own criminality, but that he bought the votes in the Kellogg Legis- lature which elected him, and, to cap the climax? that he obtained the money wherewith to buy them by fraudulent devices and under false pretences, It is charged by Pinchback’s opponents that among Legislature was one Norton, & carpet-bagger, who was aman of wealth; that Norton, finding 1t nec- essary to buy votes, but disliking to go into the market himself, intrusted a sum of money to lators to vote ior him, Norton. Pinchvack, i ts alleged, took the money aud bouyht the nig- gers according to contract, except in that he being ambitiogs, aud a sharp fellow witual, bought them for himseif instead of for Norton. When the Legislature came to a vallot Norton was horrified to find Pinchback ejected and himseif leit out in the cold, and, 1t is said, when he applied for the restitution ©; his money he was politely invited to go to a Warmer climate than even New Urieans. These are @ icw irifles which threaten to em- barrass Pinchback in the attaimment of his Sena- torial ambition. Added to these is als» the presence in this city of Judge Bell, of New Orleans, who ts expected to testify that on a former occasion he was called upon to periorm the melancholy duty of sentencing Pinchback to the Penitentiary for two years. And yet Senator Morton insists that ne has a prima Jacie case. Morton's point in sustaining Pinchback, however, is not that he wants to get the latter into the Senate particularly, but that he desires to make his admission a test of the legality of the Kellogg government. Morton holds that until after Pinch- back has become a member thereot the Senate cannot take any cognizance of the charge that may stand against him, but as soon as he is admitted on his credentiais—which will settle the status of the Kellogg government, from which he is ac credited—then Morton thinks he can be investi- gated on the charges which alfect his fitness for a seat in the Senate. Senator Ames Will Take His Choice. General Adelbert Ames will resign his seat in the Senate early in January and go to Jackson, with his wife and children, as he has been elected Gove ernor Of Mississippi in the place of Governor Powers. He will then decide whether he will re- main Governor of Mississippi for four years or be re-elected to the Senate for the term commencing in 1875 and ending March 3, 1881, as he can take his choice. Reconstruction of the Bankrupt Law. The Senate Judiciary Committee will sit during the recess and endeavor to perfect a Bankrupt act that will be free trom the objections urged against the law which the House so unceremoniously knocked in the head, The work of reconstruction will be done by Messrs. Edmunds, of Vermont; Thurman, of Ohio, and Frelinghuysen, of New Jer- sey—all “learned in the law,” and representing the interests of different sections. Senator Sprague has been among the most in- terested observers of the action of Congress upon the repeal of the Bankrupt iaw, for, as matters now stand, any dissatisfied creditor of his house can set aside its assignment, and entail vast ex- pense by throwing it into involuntary bankruptcy. His case naturally attracts the sympathy of many of hia brother Senators and induces them to favor the unconditional and immediate repeal of the law, while John Sherman is anxious to save bis friends, the Cookes, from tts disastrous power, Printing the Congressional Debates. The House Committee on Printing has secured the services of Captain Lee, who, as clerk of this committee in the jast Congress, obtained the facts and figures which enabled General Beatty to ex- pose the enormous profits of the Glove in the pub- heation of the debates and to squeich that job, It now remains for the committee to ascertain whether the contract for reporting and publishing the debates should not have been given to the low. est bidder rather than to have ordered the work done at the expensive government office. Status of Machinists in the Navy. The Navy Department has decided upon such alterations in the status of machinists in the navy as will tend to secure ip that grade a better class of men than heretofore, A machinist 13 an ap- pointed petty officer of superior grade, and on board ship has, with the appointed officers, a separate mess, which is supplied by its members as they may see fit. le may have permission to go on shore when his services are not required, provided his deportment and attention to duty have been satishhetory. ‘The pay has been increased after January 1, 1874, Itis certain that the Durell matter will be | the candidates for Senator belore the Kellogg | Pinchback to be used in buying up the negro legis | amount is still further increased, if the ration be commuted, to $84 or $1,008 perannum, The duty imposed 1s to take charge of the engine and fire- room watches, under the general direction ot the engineer oficers. The requisite qualification is to have had some experience in running the engines of ocean, lake or river steamers, A candidate may enter the service by applying at any recruiting rendezvous or to the commandant of any navy yard for examination, in which cases he will be enlisted with “rate”? of machinist; or he may be examined by the chief engineer of a vessel going into commission, ana, if accepted, “appointed” machinist by the commanding officer. In either case his position and duties on board ship will be precisely the same. The Virginius Survivors. The State Deparcment has no further intelli- gence concerning the surrender of the Virginius and her survivors than is already pubiished, The Secretary stated, when questioned relative to the status of the Virginius’ survivors, that it would be Improper at this time to say anything on that subject. Depredations by Indians and Rowdies in Northwestern Texas. The War Department is in receipt of a report from Lieutenant Colonel Merritt, of the Ninsh cavairy, commanding Fort Concho, Texas, stating that the body of the man killed by Indians near the E) Paso road, on the 22d of November, was recognized as that of J. F. Miller, of Arizona. Colonel Merritt mentions that the camp of Cap- tain Kennedy was fired into by Indians a short time ago, and that a few minutes later the stage was fired into by the same party. He says there is a doubt whether the attack just mentioned was by Indians or by Texas cowboys. A short time since he was visiting a camp of the Ninth cavalry, stationed at the point where Captain Kenneay now is, when a iot of drunken Texans, about twelve o'clock at night, rode along the valley be- low the camp at tull speed, yelling and firing their arms, It is a way they have, when under the influ- ence of liquor, of amusing themselves. It is possible they may have been repeating the pastime, though the firing at the stage would seem to indicate In- dians, as Captain Kennedy reports, A Grangers’ Council. * The Congressional ‘Grange,”’ of which Repre- sentative Mark Dunnell, of Minnesota, 1s the head, is to meet the parent grange, which is located in this city, next week. The Cheap Transportation Trip. The Senate Committee on Transportation will bid adieu to Washington on Monday and proceed to Atlanta; tnence to Mobile and New Orleans, returning about the 10th of January. It was hoped they might be able to visit Florida, but that part of the trip has been abandoned, Redemption of the 1858 Loan. The foreign holders of the bonds of 1858 have signified their readiness to exchange these bonds for the new five per cent bonds, as provided by the act recently passed, which will relieve the Treasury Department of a drain on its coin chest tor interest on the matured loan, Management of Indian Agencies. Mr. William Welsh, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Ben- jamin Stark, of New London, Conn.,,formerly a Senator from Oregon, members of the Board of Indian Missions of the Episcopal Church, have been here the last two days in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior concerning the manage- ment of the Indian agencies and reservations which have been place@ under the charge of the Episcopal Church.
