P LONDON, April 10—Evening. ‘The trial of Jean Lule for perjury during his ex- amination as a witness for the claimant in the Tichborne triai was brought toa close this morn- ing and resulted in his conviction und sentence to seven years’ penal servitude. Captain Brown, another witness for the Tich- borne claimant, was next tried, found guilty of perjury and seutenced to five years’ penal ser- vitude. “Captain” Brown and Jean Luic=The American Testimony. “Captain” Brown and Jean Luie were two of the Most important witnesses of the many who were produced tn behalf of the claimant (Orton) of the Tichborue estates during the last trial, particu- larly with respect to occurrences which were said to have taken place in America. ‘Captain’ Brown, who was brought from the East End of London, gave a@ very circumstantial account of his association with Roger Tichborne at Rio Janeiro, swore that he had seen upon him a natural brown mark like one Sentenced * borne by the defendant, and described his depar- ture in the Bella, alleging a very extraordinary Want o! sobriety on the part of the captain of that and several other vessels. In cross-examination, Mr. Hawkins extorted a coniession that he, ‘“Cap- tain” Brown, had obtaied his certificate irom Trinity House, on what he termed “fictitious state- ments” in a sworn deposition. “The object of the questions leading to this result was to discredit the whole testimony oi the witness, ana the effect upon the Court and jury appeared to be very con- siderable.

Attorney General Clarke, of Manitoba, was again examined on the Riel question pefore the House of Commons last night. The evidence went to show that for some time subsequent to Mr. Clarke’s arrival in Manitoba, and anterior to the legal proceedings taken against Riel, he (Clarke) had been fally aware of Riel’s movements and had tried to dis- suade him from becoming acandidate. Mr. Clarke acknowledged that he had once offered to fight Riel at ten paces because the latter was imperti- nent, and that he had received an anonymous let- ter threatening that his life was in danger if he persisted in his course with regard to Rie! The order of the day for Riel’s attenaance in his place in the House was then read, and, no re- sponse being given, Detective Hamilton was called to the bar and examined. He gave evidence to | the effect that Be b a done allin his power to | fifrest Riel, but had been unsuccessful, Constable | McVeity gave similar evidence.

The Globe to-day winds | up a long editorial on the subject thus:—“From whatever point of view we approach the proposal of making the Duke of Edinburgh Governor General of Canada, we see dificuities, and difficulties of such magnitude that with regret we have to place the attractive notion of being governed for tour years by a royal duke among the category of im- practicable things.’’ WEATHER REPORT. ————-__ Wak DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THR CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, WASHINGTON, April 11—1 A, M.

AMUSEMENTS, mets {Italian Opera—Ilma di Murska. It may appear rather unusual to head an article On Italian opera with the name of the prima donna instead of the lyric work represented; but when, as in this case, the prima donna is the principal, and, we might say, the only attraction, then the change will be readily understood by every opera goer. Nearly fitteen years ago “Le Pardon de Ploermei” was brought out in Paris, a work totally un-Meyerbeerish as far as the subject was concerned, aud a work that at its first production caused @ great deal of talk, The departure trom Scribe to two writers for the Opéra Comique, with a pustoral subject for musical treatment, raised at the time of its first representation such a popular discussion as sel- dom any lyric work has enjoyea. it was firat brought before the American public at the Acad- emy of Music in 1861, when Mile.

No better repre- sentative of the title role than Mile, Di Murska could be found in the present domain of lyric art. When sue first appeared on the stage in her conventional crazy state, and compelled the frightened Corentino to dance and play for her (he all. phe time wnistaking her tor a spirit), the wonderful bravurd genius of the elnger was at once shown.

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1874. | Mr. Wallett Martin, a lawyer of New York, ap- | peared before the Committee on Ways and Means this morning as a volunteer witness in the San- born case. He made a statement, in a very prosy manner, from which it appeared that he had de- voted himself for several years, as a sort of amateur detective, to discovering and work- ing up whiskey frauds in New York; that as early as 1871 he had made the acquaintance of Mr. Sanborn and’ had furnished him with the information whieh he had thus acquired. He had previously filed the same information with Dis- trict Attorney Pierrepont and the Solicitor of the | Treasury, Mr. Banfield, but no notice had been taken of it. He had entered into Mr. Sanborn’s employment aud remained in it tii 1873, drawing up legal papers, preparing briels, &c, He had re- ceived about $2,000 from Mr. Sanborn, which had partment. Ki PUZZLING TESTIMONY. It puzzled the committee to understand, as it puzzled the witness to explain, how tt happened that he bad come into connection with Mr, San- born on such a matter @ year beiore the passage of the law under which the Sanborn contract was made. The result of the examination was to leave the matter in a muddle. PRIVATE CONTRACTS PAID FROM THE CUSTOMS FUND. Mr. Madge, chief of the special agents in the Treasury Department, was examined, and stated Sanborn’s connection with the depart- ment and his duties as speciai agent. Those duties were in his capacity as an employé, of the Adams Express Company to detect and give intormation of cases of smuggiing that were con- stantly going on between Canada and Boston. Mr. Madge admitted that he had allowed the $2,000 paid to the preceding witness, but he was unable to satisiy the committee of the legality of paying out of the customs fund the expenses of a private contract, or to engage for his own benefit in de- tecting frauds on the internal revenue. The only explanation of it was that he did not know until December last that Sanborn had any sucn con- | tract, The witness had appointed as special agent | to Europe the Mr. A. G. Fay, of New York, men- | tioned in the case as Sanborn’s attorney, or as SANBORN’S FRIEND, and had allowed his expenses to the amount of about $3,000. He stated that some $140,000 had | been recovered to the Treasury through the inior- mation derived from Mr. Fay, and there were suits pending for some $800,000 more. This was prin- cipally on account of undervaiuations of imports. He admitted that Sanborn had an interest in these cases in the shape of moieties, which seemed to be & New revelation to the committee. He also admit- ted that the Blue Book, which 18 supposed to con- tain 4 list ofall the government employés, did not | contain the name of Fay, because Ray did not want it to be known that he was engaged in this secret service.

Under Sail, with Flags of Distress Hoisted. The Captain’s Story of the Boiler Explosion. TWENTY-ONE MEN SCALDED TO DEATH, Sr. Jouns, N. F., April 10, 1874. The intelligence of the explosion on board whe Arctic steamer Tigress was brought here last from the fishing grounds on the Labrador coast. At first it was reported that the Tigress was within a few miles of this city when the catastrophe oc- curred, and that alter the rescue of the surviving members of her crew she had gone down. This, fortunately, proves to be incorrect. Since her re- turn from the expedition in Baffin Bay tn search of Buddington and the ill-fatea Polaris she nas been considered a sort of marine prodigy, an object of reverence to the fishermen, owing to her marvel- lous escape from the bergs and hurricanes she then encountered on the northwest coast of Greenland. After the Polaris matter had been disposed of she was fitted out for a seal fishing trip,and was re- turning South at the time with her “catch,” when the terrible disaster deprived her of all steam facilities. CAPTAIN BARTLETT'S STATEMENT. Farly this morning I had an interview with Cap- | 4 tain Bartlett, of the whaling steamer Panther, the vessel above referred to, He did not think there ‘was any doubt that the Tigress would reach land in safety, as he did not believe the vessel was ma- terially injured by the bursting of the boiler. De- tailing his meeting with the steamer, he said:— “on Friday last, the 3d instant, the Panther was in longitude 51deg. 15 min. west, latitude 50 deg. 22 min. north, on her return to St. Johns. The | lookout reported a steamer apparently moving | only under sail As we approached her it was dis- | covered that she had her flags at half mast.

Iwas then informed that on Thursday, April 2, at two o’clock in the aiter- explosion of the boiler, which created great terror and confusion, as the escaped steam completely enveloped every compartment below.

Boston, April 10, 1874. Since the adjournment of the Senatorial Conven- tion at the State House yesterday there have been going on among the politicians heated discussions as to those mysterious despatches which were sent to certain prominent members. In fact, the con- tinued adty-dallying and tomfoolery which has for the past two weeks or more held the boards datly atthe State House, on Beacon Hill, has now as- sumed the proportions of a GIGANTIC SIDESHOW. In anticipation that those mysterious despatches had had the effect to make the leaders of the re- publican factions more bitter toward each vtuer everybody was eager to gain admission to the State House to-day, wherethe contest was to be re- newed, with the expectation of witnessing & regular pitched battle. The rain was pouring ip torrents at nocn, but it had no effect to allay the excitement, aud when President Loring rapped the Convention to order it was an impossibility to gain admission. Rumors filled the air regarding SENATOR BOUTWELL'S SERIOUS ILLNESS, and also that matters had been fixed to suit every- body. The Hoar men had been in conierence during the morning, and a special meeting of the friends of Mr. Dawes was calied, but to the result of these conferences every member retained unusual reticence. Precisely at noon the Conven- tion was calied to order and the nineteenth vote immediately began, with the following resul Whoie number of votes cast. Necessary to # choice. Henry L. Dawes. E. R.

A good deal of nonsensical debate followed, dur- ing which the subject of names, if it produced little | Wit, caused a great deal of laughter, and the Con- vention adjourned until to-morrow noon, ‘There is a general feeling of disgust bere among the business men and others on account of the farcical character o1 the debate in the Convention to-day.
