TELEGRAMS TO (HE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpoy, Jan. 31, 1874. The Right Hon. Sir Stafford Northcote, who isa liberal conservative and supporter of Mr. Disraeli, spoke at Barnstaple last night. He pointed to the dissension between John Bright and Mr. Forster On the education question, and spoke of the dif- ferences in the Cabinet ou the question of Church disestablishment. PREMIER GLADSTONE'S POSITION AS A CANDIDATE. Mr, Henry James, in an address at Taunton, said that Sir George Jessel, Sir John Duke Coleridge, ‘Mr. Vernon Harcourt and himself advised Mr. ‘Gladstone last Spring, when he again took office, that it was not necessary for him to be re-elected to Parliament. All the gentlemen mentioned are well known as “distinguisfed lawyers. Notwithstanding the recent denial of the report that Mr. Gladstone was summoned before the Court of Queen’s Bench for uot standing for re- Slection, a letter appears in tne Times this morn- lng vircumstantially declaring that notice ot a writ issued out of that Court was served on the Premier previous to the dissolution of Parliament, AGITATION IN GREENWIOR. There are appretensions of disturbances in Greenwich this afternoon when Mr, Gladstone speaks. It is said the thoroughfares of the borough will de closed one hour belore Mr. Gladstone com- | Mmences his address, and that the troops will be confined to their barracks, While conservative meetings were in progress tn Greenwich last evening they were attacked by bodies of men, and the conservative candidates who were speaking were compelled to stop. STILL ON THE STUMP. ‘Yhe Premier is announced to speak at an open air meeting at New-Cross on Monday next, THE CAUSE OF THE WORKINGMEN. A meeting of the liberals who support Mr. Thomas Hughes was held in Marylebone last night. Mr. Haghes delivered a long address, in the course of which he declared himself in favor of @ co-opera- tive association of workingmen. Professor Goldwin Smith also addressed the meeting, giving his cordial support to the views of Mr. Hughes. FROM ARGUMENT TO FISTICUFFS. ‘The Right Hon. Acton Smee Ayrton addressed a large assemblage in the Tower Hamiets last evening. The meeting was very disorderly, and Mr. Ayrton was compelled several times to sus- pend his remarks by reasoa of fighting among his hearers. There was also @ very disorderly meeting in Deptord tast evening. DIVISION AMONG TUE LIBERALS. ‘The differences between Mr, Thomas Hughes ana Mr. Daniel Grant, who was nominated for Maryle- bone by the other branch of the liberals on We nesday night, continue, rendering the return of che conservative candidate probable, The Premier’s Address to the Peopie at Greenwich, Lonpoy, Jan. 31—Evening. Fully 30,000 persons were on the ground at | Greenwich this afternoon when Mr. Gladstone | made his speech. Much opposition was manifested to the Premier, ‘but the crowd, tn the main, was good natured. | Mr. Gladstone, in his address, replied to the various accusations that had been made against | tiim by the conservatives, and defended his use of the patronage attaching to his office, DISRAELI ON THE “ASHANTEE TACTICS” DISSOLUTION. Mr. Disraeli addressed a large assemblage at | Aylesbury to-day. He said the dissolution of Paritament was an act of black treachery which Mr. Gladstone learned from the tactics of the Ashantees. The financial proposals of the government were a bribe to secure | success in the coming elections, and were also fallacious and unjust. A deficiency would be caused by the promised remission of taxation which would make necessary even more vexatious and burdensome taxation, The inattention of the government to foreign politics has led the nation | into costly wars, ignominious treaties and sham arbitrations. YOHN BRIGHT IN DEFYNCE OF GLADSTONE’S LEGIS+ “LATION, John Bright spoke at an enthusiastic meeting of his constituents in Birmingham to-night. He de- voted much time to a vindication of the legislation obtained by the Gladstone Ministry, which legisla: | tion Mr. Disraeli in a recent speech characterized | as harassing, and recapitulated the various abuses which it had abolished, OF THE Bullion on Balance to the Bank.

Letters from hia wife to John Waller were read, ‘which mention that she was living with the people who have testified that Mrs, Waite was the indi. | vidual. ‘The defence opened by citing cases of mistaken identity, arguing that the evidence aoes not prove tow of Carrie M. Waite and Catherine ‘aller. To-day the defence introduced but little testi- | mony. Two witnesses testified that they had seen @ Woman with the defendant who closely resem- Died her, and a barber testified that her hair coud tbe dyed.

General Sherman was again before the House Military Committee to-day in relation to the army as connected with Indian affairs, He pointed ont on the map @ region of country in Texas 200 miles in length by 100 in breadth, comprising half a dozen organized counties, which when he passed through it two years ago was entirely depopulated, the inhabitants having tad to abanaon their homes on account of the constant incursions made upon them by Indians, He said he had been led to be- eve that these Indians were Comanches, but tt was pretty well understood, now that they were Kiowas, Cheyennes and Arapahoes who raided out from Fort Sill Reseryation, 800 miles off, penetrating through tle military —_posts and helping themselves “yo the horses and stock of their Texan friends, which they preferred doing rather than be at the trouble of raising them themselves, He gave a grafic account of his tn- terview with the famous Kiowa chief Satanta, at Fort Sill, when he had Satanta, Santauk and Big ‘Tree arrested, double ironed and sent back to Texas to be tried for an attack upon a wagon train and the murder of twelve out of the seven- teen teamsters that accompanied it, one of whose bodies was bound to a wagon wheel and burned. Santauk was killed in an attempt to escape, but the other two were tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. But the influence of the humani- tarians—who regarded murder on the part of the Indians as a@ mere exhibition of moral insanity— had induced Governor Davis, of Texas, who ought to have known better, to commute the sentence of | Satanta and Big Tree, and the same inilueuces at Washington had finally restored them to freedom, and they are now on the reservation, ready to | start out on more murderous raids, If they should scalp Governor Davis the next time General Sherman intimated that he would not shed many tears on that account. He reviewed the Modoc diMicu'ties and gave it as his opinion that General Canby had been a victim of the temporizing | Quaker policy applied to the Indians, He favored | the transfer of the Indians from the control of the | Interlor Department to that of the War Depart- ment, and expressed his conviction that the army | was more kindly disposed to the Indians than the citizens generally were, and that if the country demanded extremely charitable treatment of the Indians it could be accomplished by and through the agency of the army better than by and through the agency of those persons who proiessed more charity than soldiers, but who did not practise it so much. Mississipp! River Improvements. An adjourned meeting of the members of the House of Representatives in favor of cheap trans- portation took place to-night at the Capitol. The attendance was small, those most promiment at the first meeting being absent, Representative | Stone, of Missouri, presented a preamble set- ting forth, among other things, that the Towboat Association of New Orleans, being opposed to the improvement of Southwest Pass channel, compelled Captain Howell, of the United States Engineers, to abandon the work by placing obstructions in his way, the association deriving its income from towing and lightering vessels, and that the United States agent has no power to oppose the hindering course of the association, there- fore be it resolved, that the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress assembled be re- quested to passalaw to facilitate the execution and to protect public works of river and harbor improvements, to the end that private individuals and corporations may not destroy such works without incurring suitable penalties, and also to appropriate a sum of not less than $150,000, to continue the work of improving the mouth of the Mississipp! River during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1875. After a conference it was voted, as the unanimous sense of the meeting, that Representative Stone on Monday bring this subject before the House, after amending the first part of the resolution in the form of instruction to the proper committee to consider and take action on the subject, The meeting then adjourned for | three weeks.

English Opera—Farewell Matinee. Anvery remarkable season of opera was brought to a-close at the Academy of Music yesterday— remarkable more for the unvarying liberality of the public towards the company thau any particu- lar excellence in the same, Musical management | is truly a lottery, and the prizes are few and far between. The best combinations, the most inge- nious calculations, the nicest plans “gang ait | a-gley,” and success and a fortune come sometimes | when least expected. With the exception of Miss | Kellogg, Mrs, Van Zandt and Mrs. Seguin, there is | not a jeature in the company that have just cloned thetr New York season calculated to attract the eneral public. Yet close on the heels of the best tullan opera company the metropolis has seen | since Marty's troape first appeared at Castle Gar- den, this season of Knglish opera has proved an entire Onancial success, t is & problem worthy the attention of any musical debat- ing society. ‘The house yesterday at tie matinée was thoroughly packed, and, a8 in the week previous, many were obliged to go away un- able to obtain even ‘tolerabie stavding room, The opera Was “Faust,” the first performance of which we have already described, The representation | fe differed little from its predecessor. As clore it Was a smooth, agreeable, not great per- formance, and seemed so give generat satisiaction, Miss Kellogg and Mrs. Seguin created a favorable impression iu their respective rdles, and were ably supported by Messrs, Habelman, Peakes aud Carleton.

[t was at- tended by nearly every one prominent in art mat- ters in this city. There was a perfect jam tn all the rooms, and circulation Was weil nigh impossi- ble, Under these circumstances no atteation could be given to the pictures. Most of the people pres- | ent were engaged admiring the living and breath- ing beauties who moved about, smiling and bow- ing, heightening the charm of the art works, which formed @ curious frame {or the animated and ever changing groups, It was rather & social gathering thun @ mere exhibition of art works, and the curous and instructive examples of man’s skill only served as subjects of conversation fur people who, perhaps, would rather have been whispering of something with more human interest in it. ‘The collection of objects of art {s choice and well selected. Within a comparatively small space we have examples that iead us from the infancy of art, where men tad not yet learned to work in iron, to the triumphs of contemporary art. It is very creditable to the management that the va- rious kinds of art work are well grouped—we cannot yet say ciassified—but this is, no doubt, owing to the fact thas most of the col- lection belongs to private individuals, who have loaned valuable works of art tothe Museum with the atm of promoting correct art taste among the people. These gentlemen deserve the best thanks of the community. There is an excéilent collection. of engravings sent from Philadelphia. Owing to the effect of the late mouctary crisis the Museum has not received that wide and generous support to which its object entitles it, but it is to be hoped that a better public spirit will be shown by the weaithy citizens, The important collection of Cypriote antaquities brought to light by Gen- eral Cesnola has only been secured for America through the generous action of Mr. Johnson, the well known art patron. This gentieman pur- chased the collection at his own risk for the Metropolitan Museum, and up to the present suMcient tunds have not been placed at the dis- | posal of the directors to enable them to acquire this desirable collection. It ta to be hoped that those interested in securing for our city a reaily valuable museum of art will make an effort to secure definitely for the Museum tue ownership of the Cesnola collection, The Museum will remain open daily, and it is proposed soon to open the galleries two or three nights in the week. This ought to be done, as it would give our business men an opportunity of cultivating their esthetic tastes, pi das abe The Losses by the Conflagration at Cleveland.

We learn by the Tury, Fieldand Farm ‘thas Mr. establish- | Brewster, who has returned Irom a visit to Cal- ifornia, reports that all attempts to make a match race between Thad Stevens and Joe Daniels proved abortive. Mr. Treat was offered every inducement to make the match, but declined. It would seem that he does not care to risk the reputation of his horse in another four mile contest with an animal of recognized merit like Joe Daniels. Mr. Treat talks of coming East next summer with Thad Ste- vens; but well informed opinton declares that these plans of the future wili never be carried out. The Caliiornia champion is not anxious to face our best horses on our own tracks. We hope that Mr. ‘treat will come East with his horse next summer, but shall not be disappointed if he does not come. ; Joe Daniels has been kept in racing form all winter, and so has Thad Stevens; but Hubbard has been laid up, having been fired and blistered. Both Joe Daniels and Hubbard have passed out of California hands, Messrs. Gage, Hubbard | and Daniels having repurchased or resumed con- trol of them. These horses will remain on the Pacific slope some weeks yet, and then be brought back to the Atlantic seaboard. True Blue is still Jame, and Mr. Brewster doubts if he will be able to | race through another campaign.’ ‘The Savannah Jockey Club e8 begin on Tues- day next and continue four days. On the first day there will be three races—the first a hurdle race, over eight hurdles; the second the Ten Broeck Stakes, which has six nominations, and the third race will be two-mile heats, On the second = there will be two races—the first for the Savanna’ Cup, with six nominations; the second mile heats, On the third there will be three races -the first a handical with ten nominations; the second three-mile heats, and the third a dash of a mile. On the fourth and last day there will be four races, consisting of, first, a hurdle handicap; the second a sweepstakes for three-year-olds; the third a selling race, and the fourth the Consolation Purse.
