There was great excitement on the rendition of the Yerdict, and “extras” announcing it were is- ‘sued by the city journals. History of the Tichborne Trial=The Court, Judges, Prisoner and Counsel, The claimant of the Tichborne baronetcy and eatates—‘Sir Roger”’—was placed on trial under an indictment charging nim with the commission of various perjuries, in the Court of Queen’s Bench, London, on Wednesday, the 23d of April, 1873, The trial has progressed at intervals the recesses being of very brief duration, since. The presiding judgee were the Right fon. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Lush and Mellor, Judge Archibald was one of the counsel originally en- gaged in the case, and, consequentty, did not sit on the bench at the trial. The Crown prosecuted. ‘The prisoner was ably defended, principally by Dr. Kenealy. ' TIE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, in its normal state devoted to the discussion of intricate and knotty points of civil law, was set aside for the trial. Like most of the other London Jaw courts, it forms a portion of Westminster Hall, ‘the entrance to it being through the first door on the right after you have passed through the mas- sive portal which, abutting on Old Palace Yard, olfers the most direct means of access to the House ofCommons. A strong unpainted wooden barrier Was rected to keep off the pressure of the crowd, and one or two policemen stood by to give ii:forma- tion and keep order, Ever since the commence- ment of the trial the court has been thronged within five minutes after the doors have been opened; there was not even standing room in the Galleries apportioned to the public, while the more | exclusive seats were sought after just as much as opera stalls on agrand night, Letus take advan- tage of the opportunity offered us to make our way through the entrance set apart for members of the Bar, as by that means we shall more readily obtain 8 good view Of the scene and the actors engaged in it. The square box with three rows of desks and benches rising one above the other immeuiately on our left is THE REPORTERS’ GALLERY, and the gentlemen engaged there are not ordinary professionals, but picked men, specially selected for this trial. Besides those who took shorthand notes there were others who merely looked on and wrote the summaries of what happened for the London daily papers. That keen-looking, thin- faced man, for instance, who is leaning forward and listening 80 eagerly is Mr. Moy Thomas, an an- tiquary, a man of learning and research, who has taken @ singular interest in the case and who writes @ summary of each day’s proceedings tor the Daily News, Immediately opposite the reporters’ gallery ig THE JURY Box, which contained twelve ordinary specimens of British humanity. Thus they acted and looked from day to day. Some of them are leaning forward and lstening attentively; a few are taking notes or consulting those they have already taken; only one or two looked bored and disiraught. The keenest physiognomist would be unable to glean any notion of what was passing in these men’s minds through the expression in their faces; only occasionally, when the counsel for the defendant is hammering away in cross-examination, without apparently any useful result, one could detect a kind of universal shoulder-shrug of cut dono,” ‘This large raised dais with its backing of antique black oak, on which the royal arms of England are elaborately sculptured, with its crimson-colored seats, Its three mahogany desks and its heavy cur- tains on either side to exclude the wind from its vecupants, is che judiclal bench, and on it sit THE JUDGES, three in number. The centre man of the three is Sir Alexander Cockburn, Lord Chief Justice of England, and one of the cleverest men of his day. Under that preposterous white horsehair wig, with the black patch at the top, it is somewhat diMcult to incee of his features, but seen out of bis judicial robe he is @ man ol middle height, of spare build and wiry frame, and though now in his seventy-second year, ' full capaole of enduring more than a fair amount bot! of mental and bodily fatigue. His thin, narrow Jace 18 clean shaven, his eyes bright and blue, his hatr, rather close cut and once red, is now thickly sprinkled with gray. His vuice is siugulariy beau- tiful, Btrong and clear, and at the same time capable of the most delicate modulation, He sat as member of Parliament tor Southampton and achieved his atest political success by a speech delivered in defence of Lord Palmerston’s foreign policy, which was regarded as one of the finest eces Of oratory heard for many years in the jouse of Commons. This obtained’ him the ap- pointment of one of the law advisers of the Crown, and it was in Ms position as Attorney General that he prosecuted and convicted William Palmer, Mo aghites pomcner, with te most consummate ability. ou, was confidently bel Paimer had made away with tered bts te NEARLY HALF A DOZEN Victims, hia skill in administering the poison (he was, by Frolession, a surgeon) was sO great that It was deemed most impossible to prove him guilty, In getting up the case, Sir Alexander Cockbu devoted days and nights to the study and chemis. try Of poison, and belore the trial simbitted nim- sell to an examination by some of the cleverest pharmaceutical authorities, Why Were astonished at bis scquirenients. | ‘Was @ sporting man, the tet of ty pronounced, he threw 7 to hi cout 1 sarap ot r ou which was written, ioe ing that’s done it,”” impiying been the manner tn which the case hi Sonate that Jed Lo thiafate intheend@. This was toid aiterwarda to Sir A, Cockburn, and he is said to have declared it the greatest compliment ever paid to him. On either side of the Lord Chief Justice sit |. Justices Lusifand Mellor. There is nothing -par- ticularly noticeable in either of them, save toat the name Of the first gave occazion for an ex- cellent joke attributed to Mr, Hawkins. Shortly aiter, the elevation Fi ba sh to the judicial bench, of which.Mr. Justice Shee was thén an or- nament, there was a'grand banquet, gt which Mr. Hawkins, who had a toast to propose, said, “It is the custom to drink to hus and Venus, to wine and women, but in this company I think I can better samup the meaning in giving as al toast, ‘Lush and Shee,’” Immediately in front of the bench is the attorney’s table, at whicn sat His is, "which are exactly like bi photographs, : which are exactly like him, are familar to re readers of the public press. A face by nO means plain, save from its enormous quan- tity of jowl, ‘rather. low forehead, Beale eyes, mouth with @ -heayy under lip and square chin, His bulk is enormoi such a figure as i rarely seen out @ showman’s caravan; but his movements are tolerably light and active, and hig hands and feet are excep- jonally small and. well shaped. Throughout the hole Of te trial he ‘lias never exhibited any ner- roustiess Or much more sign of interest than might be expected from an ordinary spectator. ite smniles irom time to time at some of the testimony, end‘ keeps up an aiimated conversation with his attorney, Iréquently’ handing papers to his counsel, Dr. Kenealy, who sits just behing him, in ‘THE, FRONT ROW OF THE BAR. The Doctor is remarkably clever man, an Irish- man of great literary attainments. He is a uni- yersal linguist, and of his greatest poem, “A New Pantomime,” Mr. Disraeli said it was a work “of ees, of rare ‘sustained genius.” But some- ow or other. he. nas.

There are no less than twenty-six counts charging the defendant with various offences of perjury. The several counts, raising, ag they do, So many varied issues, show pretty clearly the difficulties with which Dr. Kenealy had to contend, inasmuch as he had to attempt to refute by evidence every one of the points ratsed by the prosecution. The indictment reads as fol- lows: Some time ago, that is to say, on the 8th of Apri, in the thirt; wart year of the reign of our aver eign aay ictoria, by the grace of God, of the Unitea Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen Defender of the Faith, at the General Ses- sion of Oyer and Terminer of our Lady the Queen, holden for the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court at the Justice Hall, m the Old Bailey, in th suburbs of the city of London, before Justices o: the Peace, it was presented as follows, that is to | say i— ‘ "cata Criminal Court to_wit:—« jurors for our Lady the Queen upon ‘oath "present that heretotore before the taking of this inquisition, to Wit, on the 10th day of May, 1871, at Westminster, in the county of Middlesex, and within the jurisdiction of the Central ' Criminal Court, before the Right Hon.

During the progress of the trial Mr. Hawkins, on the part of the prosecution, read the claimant’s will which he had drafted by Mr. Gibbes in Austra- lla. The remarkable ignorance which he displayed. in this paper with respect to the title, entail and topographical situation of the Tichborne estates told greatly against him with the Court and jury, THE WILL as read by Mr. Hawkins sets forth :— Whereas on January 20, 1865, under my assumed name of Ihomas Castro, I inverimarried with Mary Ann Boyat, Spiuster, the ceremony being pertormed at the house of iss Robinson, Waxga Wagga, by a Wesleyan uiinister, the issue being two sons and one daughter; and whereas on July 9, 1966, I was again married by a Roman Oath- olic priest at Goulbourn, New Sonth Waies, in my pro} 9 name of Roger Charles Tenborne: and whereas | had be- tore made # will in 1852, and having, since my return to this country, learned that Vincent Gostord and Edward Slaughter, executors of that will, acting upon the as- sumption tnat I was dead, proved that will, 1 hereby revoke that and all other testamentary dispositions made bv me, and declare this to be my last will and tes- tament. { bequeath to my dear wife, Mary Ann Tichborne, 000 ; to Joseph ‘Thomas Baigent, ; to my groom, ‘Thomas Carter, £50; to Joseph Leate, of Ni it.

Paris, Feb. 12, 1874, Of one thing there will never be a dearth in France. Let wheat crops or vintage Jail, there will | always be new comedies, farces and operettas, to say nothing of dramas and melodramas, Of late Parisian playwrights have been singularly prolific. Their pens, in nowise crippled by their country’s misfortunes, have been starting new plots in all directions, and in some cases have run riot to such an extent that President MacMagon has felt bound to re-establish the censorship. The censor- ship had never ceased to exist in real fact, for though the educated Mintster, Jules Simon, sup- pressed it in 1870 he took leave to interdict M. Sar- dou’s “Oncle Sam” in 1872, and some months ago he Governor of Paris prohibited a piece (“La Liqueur d’Or”) for its immorality, after it had already been played a dozen times, this nearly ruining the manager, who had invested $20,000 in costumes and scenery, But these exercises of Prerogative were not supposed to count, and the victims of them stood in the position of the Scotch debtor cited by Walter Seott, who was sent to prison, not for being in debt—for imprisonment for debt was contrary to the Jaws—but because, In refusing to pay his creditors in obedience to an order from the Sheriff's Court, he showed his contempt for the King’s Majesty, which was a véry different thing. The censorship, then, has been re-estublished in France, because it was felt impossible to get on without it. The liberals have always con- tended in theory that the publie should be the only censors. and that, if left to themselves, they would soon bring the stage in subjection to decency and good taste; but there would seem to be some misunderstanding about the sense of these terms in the French mind, for the decency and good taste of the Parisians have led them sys- tematically to patronize plays which are unstrans- latable in any proper tongue. Whether the new censors wills ucceed in introducing a highef tone of morality, as they have rather confidently promised, we shall see im good time. For to-day we are concerned with plays which were written before the censors began their work. A five act political comedy, in the style of “Rabagas,” and | called “Le Candidat,” has for some weeks been in rehearsal at the Vandeville, and will @hortly take tne place of “Oncle Sam.” It is by M. Gustave Flaubert, the realistic author of “Mme. Bovary” and of “Salambo,”’ who was, under the Secon 4 Empire, thonght to be the most objec- tionable writer in France; but republicanism may have purified him. At the Odéon the actors are learning “La Jeunesse de Louis XIV.,” an his- torical drama, which was written by the late Alexandre Dumas, but has been carefully revised, amended and recast by the latter’s son, and promises to be a success. Coming now to new plays and operettas recently brought out, we have “Les Deux Orphelines,”? by MM. d’Ennery and Cormon, at the Porte St. Martin; “La Branche Cassée,” by MM. Jaime, Noriac and Serpette, at the Bouffes, and Offenbach’s new version of “Orphée aux Enfers,” at the Gaité, “LES DEUX ORPHBLINES,” aX MM. D’ENNERY AND COHMON, isa melodrama in the old style, which delighted | the boulevards thirty years ago, and the applause which has greeted it may be accepted asa token of melodramatic revival, Here is the story of 1t:— Two young girls, Henriette and Louise, who are supposed to be sisters, arrive in Paris from Nor- mandy, at some date in the last century, and scarcely have they set foot in the dissolute capital than Henriette, the’ olde# sister, is kidnapped in the streets by a young dévauché¢, the Marquis ae Presies, who causes her to be carried off by his servants 10 his pleasure house in the suburbs, Louise, who is blind, remains in the sireets, calling piteously for her sister, and she is about to be runover by a coach when two criminals of the worst class—the Frochards, mother and son—pass that way and take her to their home. The old woman Frochard, struck by Louise’s beauty, conceives the idea of leading her about the streets in rags to beg and sing; and from that day the poor girl begins a hideous life of slavery, being forced to trudge through the streets, barefooted and shivering, in all weather, and being beaten when she does not earn sufficient to satisly her mistress’ rapacity. Meanwhile, Hen- riette, shut up in the Marquis de Presles’ house, 18 taken by him one evening to a dinner, where the guests are all rakes and fallen women, and where he hopes to seduce her. Trembling and indignant she refuses to sit down at the tabie, and, when the Marquis endeavors to compel her, she cries out in despair and tears to the Marquis’ friends, ‘Is there notasingle man of honor among you’ “Yes,” answered one Chevalier de Vaudrey, who had at first thought Henriette was shamming, but is now convinced of her purity; “yes, I will protect you!” and, drawing his sword, he fights with the Mar- quis, wounds him and carries Henriette from the This is the beginning of a deep love be- tween the Chevalier and Henriette, and also the beginning of fresh troubles for the latter. The Chevalier is the nephew of Count de Liniéres, the Lieutenant General of Police, who, hearing that his relative and heir wishes.to marry a girl picked up in the streets, resolves to prevent such ascandal. Mme. de Linitres, however, is informed that Henriette, far from favoring the Chevalier’s suit, has refused, though passionately attached to him, to become his wife and so occasion ill feeling | between himself and his friends; so that, moved to admiration by such self-denial, she visits Hen- riette, and in the course of her visit learns some- thing closely affecting her own peace of mind. Before being married against her will to the Count de Linigres the Countess had been secretly married toayoung officer, who shortly afterwards died, leaving her with @ little girl This child the Countess’ parents spirit away, so that nothing ‘may impede the marriage of their daughter with M. de Lintéres, and ever since the Countess has been tormented with anxiety about her little girl, yearning to know whether she is alive or aead. Sue now learns from Henriette that her child is none other than the blind girl Louise, who was found lying on a doorstep by Henriette’s | father and brought up by him, The little outcast had & bag of money, and a handkerchief embroid- ered with some initials round her neck, and that is how Mme. de Linitres is en- abled to identify her, But no sooner nas Henriette made her revelation than police officers despatched by Count de Linigres rush into the room, arrest Hepriette and lead her off to the Salpétriére, or prison for dissolute women, where she 18 told that she will be transported to tne colonies by the first prison ship that sails, All M., de Liniéres will never be at rest till he has put her beyond reach of marrying his nephew; but, happily, there is in the prisun an unfortunate girl called Marianne, to whom Henriette had shown a kindness when they were both confined togewer in the Marquis de Presles’ house, and this girl, who has repented of her sinful life, determines to save her benefactress, On the day when the con- voy of prisoners 18 to leave Taris, and when the names are being called over in the yard of the Salpétritre, Marianne generously answers to Henrtette’s name, and is manactied and taken off in her stead. The prison matron detects the noble hearted fraud just as it is being perpetrated, but she is silenced by Marianne, who craves to be sent out beyond the seas to work out her atonement, and who, at the same time, relates the story of Henriette’s life. Before going Marianne, who has heard that the Frochards have been seen with a bund girl, giv riette, shortly after liberated under name of Marianne, goes in quest of them. During all this time the blind Louise has been reduced by exposure and ill-treatment toa state of weakness which culminates in fever. She has upon Scene ensues.

But at last she is too prostrate to beg any longer and sinks down on @ pallet, refusing to stir when the old woman, Frochard, orders her to go out as usual. Here- @ furious her, as they have often done before; but at this moment the blind girl finds a champton tn a quar- ter where she had not dared vo expect it. The brutal Jacques has @ cripple brother—Pierre— whose life has been a long martyrdom. Bullied by his mother, Kicked and cuffed by his brotuer, he had been a spiritless, abject being till Louise came into the house, and then, seeing & poor creature over and beiriend her, On more than one occa. sion he had succeeded in shielding her from blows more than once he had filched money from his mother’s hoard that she might have the necessaries of life; and now at sight of Jacques raising is hand to hit | the fever stricken girl his exasperation takes flame, He draws aknife, a murderous fight follows between the two brothers, and Jacques is killed, At this juncture Henriette, released from Prison, arrives at the Frochard’s hovel, aids in the rescue of Louise and flies with her, Nothing re- mains now but the last scene, in which virtue 1s Tewarded in the approved way. The Countess de Linitres makes her confession to her husband, re- ceives forgiveness and adopts Louise, to whom an eminent doctor undertakes to restore her eye- sight; Henriette, on the other hand, pardons the Count for his persecution of her, and, with his full consent, marries his nephew, the Chevalier de Vaudrey, Modified in a few places: “Les Deux Orphelines”” would lend itself very easily to English adaptation and might insure a good run in New York. It abounds in startling situations, to which a whole Picture cannot be done in @ summary, and the dialogue is brisk and pithy. This drama has been remarkable for developing the talents of two actresses hitherto almost unknown—Mlle. Angtle Moreau, who plays the part of the blind Louise, and Mme. Sophie Hamet, who takes that of the in- famous widow Frochard, Both these ladies—the one by her exquisite delineation of persecuted in- nocence, the other by her realistic performance of | a@ repulsive and cruel hag—have mounted at one step to the summit of their profession. Very different from ‘(Les Deux Orphelines’’ is “La BRANCHE CASSEE,’’ BY MM. JAIME, NORIAC AND SERPETTE. This is an operetta written for those two charm- ing singers of the Bouffes, Mme. Peschard and Mme, Judic. It tells of the loves of a peasant boy and girl, but, unfortunately, as in the “Timbale d’Argent,”? and in most other pieces recently brought out at the Bouffes, s0 in this “Branche Cassée” the plot cannot be rendered into English. | ‘The authors of the libretto, MM. Jaime and Nortac, are responsible for it. M, Serpette, the composer, suffers by it, as did M. Vasseur, the composer of “La Tim- bale q@Argent” above mentioned. lt 18 a real pity that the American and British pub- lics should be deprived of such delightful music as that of these operettas because the silly French- men who write the lipretti have chosen to enframe in them indecent and offensive plots. An Ameri- can Manager with tact enough for the work would do well to take the Timbale’s music and get a new story woven in English for its light, creamy melo- dies; and when he had done this then he might apply the same process to the “Branche Casace,” which positively sparkles with bril- liant melodies, A duet for soprano and contralto voices, “Pleurons, pleurons,” with ac- companiment of kisses, is @ very gem, and a drinking trio in the third act, as aiso a waltz aria for contralto, “Je suis Suzette la fille du Jar- dinier,”’ are the next two most noticeable pieces. But the entire operetta teems with melody of the | sweetest, liveliest French sort; and once again M. | Serpette must be pitied for having to bear the sins against good taste and propriety committed by MM. Jaime and Noriac. These two—who are vet- | eran offenders, by the way—disfigured the music as men do who throw slime on a fluwer. The reproach of impropriety cannot be ad- dressed to “ORPHEE AUX ENFERS,” BY M, OFFENBACH, which, although very French in parts, never quite oversteps the limits of decorum. ‘“Orphée’’ was brought out some years ago at the Bouffes as a | very small operetta, The narrow proportions of | the stage trammelled the work, but now M. Offen- | bach, haying possessed himself of the Gaité’s huge | stage, has expanded the operetta by means of a | new libretto,.new music, and, above all, by gor- geous scenery, into a grand spectacular extrava- ganza. Ail the oid music of the original ‘Or- phée,” is so well known to dancers that the mere jingle of a note of it on the piano is enough to set one hopping. All this has been retained, but the additions are numerous and inevery way up to par. There is, in the first place, a smart, headlong overture; then a pastoral ballet, most fresh and tuneful; after this a ballet of the Hours and Seasons, with a recurring melody tmi- tating the chiming of a timepiece, and destined to figure on every planoboard before long as the “Clock Waltz.”? Next to this we have a frantically contagious jig, danced by the god Mercury, who is kept moving the whole time he is on the stage, and @ chorus of policemen, in sol major, altogether unique. This last piece will vie with the “Clock Waltz” in popularity, but we must not omit a grave chorus of the Infernal Judges, culminating in an epileptic hallaballoo and cancan, nor a similar bit of melodious madness indulged in by the Town Council of Thebes, Finally, as a crowning jewel to this renovated operetta, we have the ‘Fly Ballet,’ one of the most graceful things which Offenbach has ever com- | posed, and which, to use the playbill term, 1s | “rapturously applauded every night.’’ The | of Hades and the scenes round Thebes, where the | policemen, Town Councillors and others go through their vagaries are truly splendid—the fmest yet mounted in France. But when this re- vised “Orphée” 18 transferred to New York, as it must inevitably be before long, the American manager will do well to copy, point for point, the mythological, allegorical and fancy cos- tumes sketched for the Gaité by the artist Grévin, for these are a marvel in themselves, AMATEUR CENSORSHIP, Ibegan this letter by speaking of the official dramatic censorship which has been restored, 1 now learn that forty Parisians, noblemen, artists and journalists of the best sort—all men of the world, im fact—have formed a | league for the purpose of hissing without mercy all pieces that may be immoral, all actors who may hazard double entendres and all actresses | who may strive to clamber to fame by means of jewelry and good looks instead of by talent. 1am sure to wish them joy; but, in the present temper | of the Parisian mind, lexpect to hear that they have inaugurated their functions by being trium- | phantly kicked out of some popular playhouse, and | are using lotions, the whole forty of them, to brace | their nerves for @ second effort, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, | Return of Rear Admiral Parrott from Yokohama.

The Freethinkers and Trades Uniow Convention—Lhe Internationals ang Committee of Safety Objected To—an Excited Discussion and a Lively Tim, At he Turn Hall another meeting was held last night by the convention recently tormed under the auspices of tne Freethinkers’ Union, composed of the delegates of about twenty-seven trades unions and other organizations, formed for the purpose of proceeding. against the Police Commissioners | OD account of their interference with free speech, The meeting was organized under the chairman- Ship of Mr, Henningen, and, alter the reading of the minutes by the Secretary, Mr. Theier, Yeports of committees were received, in- cluding @ report from the Publication Committee in reference to efforts made to obtain the publication entire of the address to the public, adopted at a previous meeting in the English printea papers, the substance of which was published in the HERALD at the time, It was stated that the document had been published in full in the German papers, and the mittee. stated that they waited On the agent of the Ase sociated Press With a view of enlisting bis infu- ence to obtain the publication of the document in.

Here a member of the Committee of Safety stated that this committe , had also taken action to send a delegation 10 Al- bany, whereupon an ne ig l ensued, The delegate representing the Workingmen’s Council threatened to withdraw ir the Committee of Safety was allowed a representation in this body. An angry discussion ensued about the Internation. alists—about their merits and failings, and a oum- ber of delegates declared with great emphasis that they and their organizations will have nothing todo with the Internationalists and the Committee of Safety. Considerable confusion ensued from this discussion, and the chairman being unable to pre- serve order left the chair, and Conrad Kubm was called upon to preside; who in assuming the chair expressed a doubt whether he could do any better than the chairman who had just left. Some delegates Stated that if they had known that the Cummittee of Safety was there they would not have come; near, for how could they sit there after their organ- izations had denounced the Committee of Safety? (the men of the Safety here dryly observed ‘hat they would stand all that denunciation.) The opposition to the Coe staas of are and the In- ternationalists emanated principally from the tail- ors and blacksmiths, Several sections ot the Inter- nationalists were represented, including French, English and Scandinavian sections. ‘The discus- sion resulted in the withdrawal of the delegations from the Workingmen’s Central Council, who, on leaving the room declared that the trades unions were the omy organizations that lend respectability to the movement, and not the Internationalists or the Committee. Owing to the continued confusion the Chairman requested the appointment of another chairman, he declining to preside any longer; and on leaving the chair he also announced that he then and there resigned as a delegate to Albany. The chair was thereupon assumed by Mr. Theier, and a desultory discussion was continued for some length of time, but final action on the questions Proposed was postponed until another meeting, which is to be held in a tew days. BOSTON COLLECTORSHIP, Simmons’ Frieuds Celebrating the But<« ler Victory im Washington. Boston, Feb. 27, 1874, The first news of the action of the Senate in relae tion to the confirmation of Mr. Simmons as Collector of this port came by private despatches from the Simmons party and was circulated from mouth to mouth with wonderful rapidity. The report wasat first received with incredulous smues by the public, but it was rapidly confirmed, and the joy a oim ing dis- of the “ring” and its satellites was un- bounded, They had been anxiously wait- ing in the office of the Supervisor in Pemberton square, with hardly jess impatience than the present occupant of the office had been pacing the corridors of Wulard’s, The reading of the first despatch called out the minst extravagant demonstrations. The men shouted, threw up their hats, and in every way expressed their surprise - delight. Arrangements were at once made for holding a jollidcation meeting. A room was secured at Parker's, to which the company ad- journed. There they quickly added to their num- ber other active partisans, ofiicers of the revenue and Custom House, till there were in all about’ forty. George P, Baldwin, ex-Alderman and ex-Chair- man of the Democratic Ward and el Committee, was called to the chair. He opened the proceed- ings with an address eulogistic of Mr. Simmons, He admired him for his straightforward course, his honorable rise from hardship and poverty to a conspicuous position in society, which displayed ability and energy o° character sure to carry nim. to still greater success, THR INDISPENSABLE CHAMPAGNE had by this time arrived in plenteousness, and no time was lost in drinking to the health and pros- perity of the new Collector. Brief speeches were then made by the various persons present, in which abuse and praise were showered profuseiy upon the leading operators at Washington. The sentiment that prevailed was that the young ele- ment of the party had gained a great victory ; that it had been a rebellion against the aristocracy, in which the ‘poor boy’? had won. Great devotion was expressed for General Butler, bis name al- ways calling for cheers, All gave him the credit for securing the nomination, and many declared thgt they would support him for Governor next J. M.D, Williams and Henry L. Pierce were severely abused. John A. Norwell, R. O. Nichols, George A. Shaw, Albert Palmer, Charles H. Leach, John L. Switt, William Bubier, Andrew J. Bailey, Captain Frost and Edward Crane were among those who did the speechmaking. The company did not break up till about ten o’clock. During the evening @ congratulatory de- spatch was sent by the President of the evening to Benjamin F. Butler, giving information thata large impromptu meeting of republicans and democrats was in session at Parker’s and thanking him for the services he had rendered. A despatch was received in reply from General But- ler, saying their friends tn Washington joined in congratulations, but claimed that the meed of praise was due to General Grant ior his firmness in the trying emergency. THE BUI RIVER, cipal The Steamer Miller Blocked Up in At= tempting to Force a Passage Through the Ice. Last evening the steamer Daniel S. Miller left this city to force a passage through the Highlands, where navigation 1s obstructed by “‘windrow” ice. She had on board two of her owners—Homer Rams- dell, of Newburg, and Mr. Doughty, of Poughkeep- sie—and several other residents of the two places. The party expected to go through in fine style, the Miller being a large and pows erful boat. At Pollopel’s Isiand the frst. opposing ice was broken through, and thence to near the Cold'Spring Foundry the passage was a rough one. The Milier made the last three- quarters of a mile in about two hours. All hands worked with pike, pole or bar to remove the heavy | bouy of ice and snow from about the boat, but the ebb tide found her immovably stuck fast, night the hands and passengers “turned in,’? Early this morning they went at tt again, bat could not budge the boat from her icy berth. The broken fragments of ice, avout one and @ halt inches in thickness, Were piled ap to & cent ia some places, of twenty feet, through which it is, of course, impossible | for any bo: especially a to make its Way. Propeller gre of the present blockade is that the old winter ice has all passed down through the Highlands, and the tce formed the night after the recent storm has all drifted in at the bend of the river, between West Point and effectually barring navigation. The passengers on the Miller walked ashore on the ice this morn- ing and returned to this city by the Hudson River cars. The boat was got loose this afternoon. It is propos now to attack the ice also from the act and the steamer Hasbrouck, now in New York,’ will be used in the operation, the Miller to make another attempt from the north. A heavy tide will probably remove the barrier goon, as the moon 1s near full. VERDICT AGAINST AN EX-OOLLECTOR, The Morris county (N. J.) courts have just de termined the case of (, M. K.
