Mr. Boynton came on board five miles dis- tant from Cape Grisnez and eleven from | Boulogne, having traversed over fifty miles. CAUSES OF HIS FAILURE, His failure is attributed to a ckiange of wind and the delay in starting, whireby he missed favorable tides and was compelled to struggle with the current from ten ‘until one o’clock, making no progress and barvily main- taining his position. The piloting also was defective. CONGRATULATIONS OF STATE. The Queen and the Lord Mayor teli graphed their congratulations. CERTIFICATE FROM THE PUBLIC Pr1Ess.

GERMAN HOPE OF A CLEAR SEY AND PEACE— THE EMPIRE TOO POWERFUL FOR ITS LAY AND THE JESUITS. BERLIN, April 11, 1875. The North-German Gazette, » sem\-ofMcial jour- nal, says, “The articie of the Bertin Post contains Much truth in one respect, but combined with such anxious views that we must contradict tt Our international relations are by no means as unfavorable as represented. While the reorgan- ization of the French army is disquieting, it does notaim at @ solid establishment of the French forces, but 18 undertaken for obvious purposes. The Post overrates the influence of tho Papal party and the Jesuits in Italy and Austria, Their power is, happily, insuMctent to prejuaice the good understanding between the sovereigns or nations concerned.” ‘The Gazette thinks the same may be said in re~ gard to France.

AMONG THE OUTPOSTS. A Visit to the Threatened Points of the Disturbed Region. HAZLETON, Pa., April 11, 1875. The parallel between the events which have led to the occupation of Hazleton by an armed force and those whicn attended the marching of troops to Seranton four years ago is so striking that a comparison 1s chalienged. Alter a three or four months’ suspension the effort was made to stop all work at the mines, The miners vecame uneasy and finaly broke out into turbulent demonstra- tions, raided from one colliery to another, forcing men to leave work, and then marched through the city of Scranton, @ mob armed with bludgeons, firearms and such weapons of offence as could be most readily obtained. Mayor Monies attempted to reason with those engaged in the disorderly demonstration, and Dde- log satisfied that the civil authority was powerless to preserve the peace, called upon Gov- ernor Geary for aid, which was promptly fur- nisned. On the 7th of April General Osborne en- tered Scranton and took command of the situa- tton, The like efforts to have the military with- drawn which are pow being made here were re- sorted to, and the military force was after a time reduced, The disorderly element azain came to the surface, and it was not only found necessary to call back the troops, but to increase the num- ber, and the military were Kept on auty two months, lacking but a day or 80, until the strike ended and the men went to work, upon giving up what they had been contending jor about six months. THE PRESENT TROUBLES. Just four years later this history seems to be Tepeating itself in the middie coal field. The work in the mines here has been tor four months in @ state of enforced suspension, brought about by the action of the operators, and the miners have resorted to direct and indirect methods to force a settlement of their difficulties with their employers, Tae scenes whica were enacted in Scranton have oeen re-enacted, and on the 7th of April the soldiers are called upon to maintain the civil authorities, Whether affairs will ena by tue men going to work at the reduced rates proposed by the operators remains to be seen, At this moment it is impossipie to anticipate @ result diferent from that which ended the long strike at Scranton. It may or may not be, The consultation between the operators and the Sheriff hardly promises to bring about the Tesult expected oy those who are anxious for the Immediate withdrawal of the troops. There is a | Penitentiary, tho same being occasioned by the | ecuted, plot for escape on the part of half a dozen of the most desperate convicts confined on the | mass of evidence as to the disturbances in different quarters of this region and sworn af™f- away, and which it seems most improbaoie that those claiming to represent the miners can set aside. When the other side has prodaved its tes- timony and it goes before the Governor for his consideration tne crisis will be reached. As to whether it will be a return to peace and good order, without the presence of the military, it would be premature to predict. AMONG THE OUTPOSTS.

To-day the soldiers have attended the various churches and the usual Suoday inspection and Gress parade attracted a large crowu ana eliciced much admiration. The feeling in regard to the solaiers is greatly modified and the appearance of | the Sheriff at the seat of trouvie has made a marked difference in public sentiment regarding that officer. It is greatiy to be regretied that cer- tain persons seem determined to give a political aspect to the difficulties and it 1s not plain what advantage can be gained by such acourse. Their action is generally deprecated oy all well disposed and rightly thinking people.

In an instant he had sounded | the alarm, and Warden Fox, hearing tt, | rushed from his residence to the prison | Just in time to see the last of the six prisoners | making bis exit. Hastlly summoning the entire | guard on duty in the prison, consisting of twenty- | five men, he seat the majority to scour the Island, armed with pistols and shot guns, in search of the convicts, He then communtcated by telegraph with the Nineteenth precinct station house, giving the danger signal 444 and catling for a detachment of armed policemen jorthwith, and ic less than fifteen minutes @ platoon of twenty- | one ofvcers, under command of Sergeant Whit- comb and Roundsman Minueck, were on the spot, The following are the names of the convicts who escaped from their celis:—Herman Liedendorf, ailas Dutch Harmon, the notorious desperado, who was serving asentence for felonious assault on a policeman last summer; George Thomas, alias Bentley, convicted of grand larceny; Edward Kane, serving 9 sentence of fourteen months tor | larceny; Philip Shan Shwarz, George Sioan and William Henry Johnson. Sloan and Thomas were captured near the Small- pox nospital endeavoring to secrete themselves. Johnson was caught ciose to the Lunatic Asylum, taken on the west side of the island. THE RECAPTURE OF DUTCH HARMON ‘was attended with considerable difficulty, as he made a desperate fight for his liberty, While the | officers were searching on the west side of the | Penitentiary, near the water, they noticed a boat | containing three men hugging the shore, and a moment afterward Harmon jamped from his hiding place into the.river and was about to scramble into the boat, when the poitce | fired some shots at the occupants ana away, leaving the con- | vict to his fate.

OBITUARY. BEY. ROBERT BUCHANAN, D. D., OF THE FRED CHURCH OF SCOTLAND, [From toe Liverpool Mercury, April 1.) A painfol sensation will be created throughout all the Christian Churches of Great Britain by the intelligence we publisn this morntng—namely, that the Rev. Dr. Rovert Bucbanan, of the Free Church, Glasgow, and one of the few rematning leaders of the Scottish Disruption, died on Tuesday at Rome. It was only last week tnat a letter was received irom nim by nis friends in Glasgow, de- scribing @ very interesting intereview he had had with Garioaldi, and the next public news we have of him is the intelligence of his sudden death. Dr. Buchanan, who was upwards of seventy years of age, originally belonged to the £stablished Charch of Scotland, in which he was ordaimed in 1821, and for many years evious to 1843 he was minister of one Of the largest and most populous parisues in Glasgow. He was a contemporary of Dr. Chaimers, and sympathized with and svared in his weil kuown efforts in that city in behalf of the re- clama (or, to use Chaimers’ own favorite word, “the excavation’) of the sunken masses, Jt was the non-tntrusion controversy, however, that brought him to the front; and one of the chiefest actors init, he afterwara, in “The Ten Years’ Confilct,” became its listorian, Along with Chsimers, Candiish, Cunningham and Gutbrie, he was the sworn enemy ol patronage. He was one of the main touncers of the Frea Church col- leges of Edinbursb, Glasgow and Aberdeen; an the coinciaence is very painiul that had he lived til the next Free Church Assembly in May he Would have been appointed principal of the college in Glasgow, In all the educational machinery of the Free Church, particularly the normal schools and their relation wo the Privy Council, Dr. Buchanan, along with Dr, Candlish, tock a promi- nentpart, He had great influence with successive governments, and materially helped to raise the ed+ Uca' lon standard both o! Free Charch teacners and s8choo)s in ali parts of the couniry. As years grew upon him, and he watched the working of the non- establishea churches oi the jand, Dr. Buchanan, while retaining theoretically his Established Church convictions, became thoroughly convinced of the practical success in religion of what 1s kpown as the voluntary principle. His¢church itn Glasgow was weil known by its conspicuous towers at the West End Park, close to the Free Church College. AS an author Dr. Buchanan will ve remembered beyond the two volumes o! “The Ten Years’ Conflict,” already mentioned. He Buo- lished, in 1859, @ valuable commentary on “The Bovk ot Ecciesiastes: its Meaning and its Les- sons,” and be 18 also the author Ol a very inter. esting Volume of travels, with the felicitous title of “A Cierical Furlouga in the Holy Land.’ He is, in addition, the autuor of several valuable articles in *“Fairbairn’s Biole Dictionary.’ He had gone to Rome to visit the station of the Free Churen in “The Wrernal City,” and had recently enjoyed the visit of the Baptist bretnrea who had proceeded trom London vo be present at the opening of their new church, ‘he death in emanctpated traly of the great champion of an emancipated British Church ts not without its suggestive lessons. 5 M.

AFFRAYS IN BROOKLYN. George Seimes was taken into custody by an officer of the Fifth precinct police, on last Satar- day night, ona charge of having feloniously as- sauited John Fallenn, of No. 118 North Eighth street. The two men named quarelied on muesday jast “over their cups,” when George Seimes beat his antagonist Fullenn about the head until the latter fell insensible to the floor. The assaflant ‘was taken into custody at the time, but was re- leased on bail, as the injuries were irded as fatal, The doctors have now found, however, that Fuilenn is not likely to recover and hence the ar- rest. The prisoner has deen locked up to answer. Patrick Roatigan was severely beaten about t! head with a club, by a party of boon companions with whom he was engaged in playing a game of poker at Henry Meyr’s saloon, De Kalb and Turoop avenues. The assailants of “P. R.” escaped, A SCARE IN THE BROOKLYN TABER- NACLE. The Rev. Mr. Talmage had a congregation last evening that crowded the spacious Tabernacie and extended to the sidewalk. Hundreds were turned away, and many more were content with standing room only. fhe preacher gave one of his impassioned discourses on the dangers of @ seataring life, and the peril in the congregation was menaced with, him- self included, of becoming @ castaway. The im- mense audience were now and again stilled by the vigorous appeals familiar to Tavernacle ears. During one of these, in which the preacher, with upraised hand and voice husky with emo tion, had deciared that he claimed every one in the house God, and, without | 2 moment ery for merey, show a signal of distress nelontes it might ve too late, in Jour minutes it might ve too Late, iu three minutes it mignt be, in two minutes—yei #@ great hush; t uddenly irom th Of the cluven came asharp, crack. | the breaking of timoers.

Considerable specuiation has been caused by the action of the Hanging Committee o/ the Academy of Design in reference to Mr. Varni’s picture “The First Grief,” For some reason unknowa to the gentlemen of the canvas, Mr. VAINI'S PICTCRE has been hung up near the skylight. It ts visible Jor a moment to people mounting the main stair- case, but once the visitor is landed his chance of examining the artisi’s work is atan end, It ts very much to be regretted that a better spirit Was not shown in giving this work a piace Suitaole to its merits. fhe subject 1s thought ful and interesting, and it has been well handled, Tne painting is broad, bold and effective, and ‘the color remarkably brilliant, There are a large number of works, which somehow have found a place on the line, whicu might have been putin piace of Mr, Vaini’s picture, and n¢ one would have felt in the least aggrieved. To say the leas?, there has been a sad want of taste shown in this matter. Mr. Vatni is a resident artist of much promise, and the fact that he ts a stranger ought to have recommended him to the 00d olfices of his fellow artists. As It 1s, the a0 tion of the Hanging Committee bas given rise to much unfavorable criticism. WHAT HAVE THE AMERICAN SCULPTORS been doing during the past year, is aquestion that must suggest itself to all visitors to the spring exhibition. A beggarly half-dozen of busts 1s all that the stadents of the plastic art have to show for their year’s iabor—at least that is all they exhibit to the public, Even among these the only clever workis a bust of Mr. John Kelly, the Tam- many magni executed by Cushon, a promising sculptor of city. One of the best landscapes in the present exhi- bition represents Ilign Bridge, and 1s the work of @ resieent artist named Miller, wno promises ta take @ ront place in American art. ‘the picture is very low in tone and will be thonght somewhat cold by many: but une sense of atmusphere 1s ad- mirabiy rendered, COMING WEEK ‘will be a notable one in art circies. It will witness the sale of several important collections of paiut- ings. Colonel Chapman, the weil known srt: amateur of Brooklyn, will place his very valuable collection of sculpture and paintings on exitoi- tion previous to disposing of it. itis unaerstood that Colonel Chapman is compelled to give up housekeeping 1n consequence of iil healthin hiv family. ‘ihe breaXing up of his gallery will throw on the market a large number of very rare and beautiiul works of art. KNOEDLER'S SALE. Annumber of very choice paintings have been put on exnibition by the frm of Knoealer & Co., at Kurtz’s art gailery. The French, Spanish, Italian, German and American schools are represented, and the works composing the exhibition are of an usual evenness of merit. In fact the collection has been kept studiously free from inferior works, and though there is no great work on the walls the provortion of really good works in the ovilection is something very unusual. Among the most picas- ing works are Ecatier’s “Alone at Home,” and a ver! highly finished painting by Schmidt, * The Alchemist.” Isabey represented by a small work, very dramatic in conception, representing @ duel in old times. BOUGHTON has @ characteristic picture which be calls “Too Near tae Warpath.” Jt portrays an wocident of frontier life, and has all the poetic interest with whica tals artist succeeds in sur rounding bis subjects. ‘ Watting,’’ by Detti, is au excellent example of careiul painting. Jt belongs to the new Roman School, but is iree irom the ex- aggerations which disfigure most of the works of this now popular school. “Her Note,” by Esgus quiza, belongs to THE SPANISH DIVISION of the same school. It is admirably drawn and the faces of the two women are painted with con- summate art, No collection wouid be complete ‘witnout a frait subject by Preyer. The peaches, grapes, &c., lying ou the marble siab are painted with wonderiu! paturainess. The two works that will attract most notice, however, are ‘The Fisher Girl of Etretut,” by Bouguereau, and the “Ophelia” of Huges Merle. The collection will remain on exhibiuon until Wednesday evening, when it will be offered tor pubiic sale. JAMES’ SALE.
