“HE WAR IN THE EAST. bu LONDON TIMES ON THE FAILURE OF THE BOSNIAN RISING—AUSTRIAN COMMISSIONERS EXAMINING THE REFUGEES—DRIVEN ‘0 BESIST- ANCE BY ARBITRARY ARRESTS AND EKAC- ‘TIONS. Loxpon, Sept. 21, 1875. The Timez this morning publishes a letter dated Vienna, which contains some interesting details of the Insurrection in Northern Bosnia, and of the emigrants who have taken refuge in Austria. It says the cause of the sudden failure of the movement is attributed to the Fact that the insurgents were not prepared, were with- jout arms and ammunition, and also that many villages Femained passive. Two Austrian Commissioners have been sent to as- certain from the fugitives the causes of the insurrec- tion, The latter state that the Turks, fearing that the Herzegovinian insurrection would spread to Bosnia, arrested the elders of the village and some of the most influential men, under the pretext that they were ac- complices of brigands. Thirty were thus arrested in one village, and were only released upon the payment ‘of a large sum of money, Upon a threatened repetition of these outrages the villagers fled to the mountains with their families and flocks, and prepared to resist, ‘The rising assumed the character of retaliation up toa dato as recout as the 18th of August, but the next day ‘the insurgents fled in consequence of the mass of emt- ‘gration which had set in. ‘The fugitives disclaimed any ‘connection with the Herzegovinian insurgents, and de« clared that they never should have thought of rising if ‘Whey had not been provoked, ATTITUDE OF SERVIA—HOW THE SKUPTCHINA VOTED ON THE ADDRESS—NEUTRALITY ¥OR THE PRESENT SECURED. f Kracusuvarz, Sept. 21, 1875.

It was a fight in the interest of the democratic party and the masses.

Nuwrort, RL, Sept. 21, 1875. The day was all that could be desired for the grand clam bake, tendered by tlie citizens of Newport to Ad- miral Wellesley and the officers of the English man-of- war Bellerophon. Early this morning the wind came from the southeast, and continued go until six o'clock, whent veered to dead gouth. The arrangements of the committee were that the Admiral was to be invited to proceed up to the grounds of the Squantam Club, near Providence, by the steamer Day Star, chartered for that purpose, It was to leave this port at eleven o'clock, but having to wait for certain gentlemen it was detained until 11:25, when the boat steamed out of the harbor, having on board the following gentlemen :— THR GUESTS.

As the latter came on board the band played ‘Hail to the Chief,” and he was intro- duced to the Admiral by Mayor Slocum, THE START. As the steamer left the dock, A. ©. Titus, a member of the city government, stepped to the gang plank and introduced Admiral Wellesley to the people who had gathered on the wharf. ‘lhe Fifth artillery baud, which wns on board, immediately struck up “Rulo Britannia,” Throe rousing cheers were given for the ‘Admiral, which the latter acknowledged by lifting his hat several times. Going around Goat Island the Day Star steamed close to the Bellerophon, the latter dipping her flag, which was acknowledged by Day Star per- forming’ a similar courtesy and tho band on board striking up simultaneously with the band on board the man-of-war, “God Savo — tho Queen.” Nothing of special’ interest occurred on. TH PASSAGE UP THE BAY, save that Admiral Wellesley and his oflicers repeatedly expressed themselves as being pleased with the re- markable scenery of Narragansett Bay, The steamer arrived at her destination about halt-past one o'clock. The party were met on the landing by General A. E. Burnside, Senator H. B. Anthony, Mayor Doyle, of Providence, and B. 1. Eames and Latimer W. Ballou, Rhode Isiand’s Representatives in Congress, who con” ducted them to the club house on the knoll just above the landing,. where a half hour was spent in social in- tercourse. They were then conducted about the grounds of the club, some of the guests indulging thomselves in the pleasures of the bowling alley and billiard room until dinner, which was served about an nour later, About one hundred and fifty sat down, Admiral Wellesley, Mayor Slocum and others having one table to themselves, Mayor Slocum arose and said:— SPEECH OF MAYOR SLOCUM. “GrntiEMEN—I have the distinguished honor of intro- ag a you our honored guest, Admiral Wellesley, of Her Britannic Majesty’s Navy. We welcome you to these our hospitalities, and we respectfully request you to improve them ina manner most agreeable wo your- selyes.'? The Admiral, who does not bolieve in speechmaking, arose ahd bowed his acknowledgments. THE DINNER consisted of clam and fish chowder, fried clams and In- dian pudding, which, atter bemg partaken of, the com- pany took another rest for an hour and were then sum- moned to THE CLAMBAKE. ‘The menu was then discussed. At about half past five o’clock the steamer left the scone of the day’s festivi- ties and arrived here about two hours later, In the evening the oflicers were entertained py William Beach Lawrence. THE LATE CUBAN EXPEDITION. SUCCESSFUL LANDING OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION BY THE OCTAVIA—HOW SHE OUIWITTED THE UNITED STATES AUTHORITIES. Wasiuxerox, Sept. 21, 1875. ‘News of tho success of the last Cuban expedition was received here today, The steamer Octavia was for have fallen at Colorado ‘puss’ Q Ry since yesterday days during August the object of suspicion in New Yori, and just after the vessel cleared the Spanish Minister filed such information as to lead to the belief that the vessel intended carrying to Cuba munitions of war and other aid for the insurgents, The revenue cutter Moss- wood cruised about New York Bay, harbor and inlets to discover the suspected vessel, but she had got beyond our jurisdiction, Orders were then issued to detain the Octavia if she again entered a port of the United States. No complication is likely to arise be- tween Spain and the United States on account of the mission of the Octavia The Spanish Consul was too slow for the managers of the expedition, and the action of our government authorities, it is claimed, was unusually vigilant and prompt THE GEORGIA INSURRECTION, THE CASE OF THE LEADER JOE MORRIS. Arianta, Sept. 21, 1875, Contrary to general anticipation Judge Erskine, upon the assembling of court this morning, took no notice of the forcible entrance of Sheriff Perkerson into the United States Court building last’ night for the purpose of arresting Joo Morris, leader of the late insurrection in Middle Georgia, who wag shut up in the District Attorney's ofiice, The ex- pected conilict between the federal and State authorities is not likely to come off, therefore. Morris goes to Burke county for trial. NORTH CAROLINA CONVENTION. Raxeran, N. C., Sept. 20, 1875. A momorial was presented from the State Grange, praying for the stablishiment of Depart ment of Agriculture, Six new ordinances wero introduced.

THE LIBERAL STATE CONVENTION. Aumany, Sopt. 21, 1875. Quite a number of delegates to the Liberal State Con- vention, which meets here to-morrow, have already reached the city, Among them are the following:—General Charles Hughes, of Washington county; Hon. W. W, Rockwell, of Warren; Dr. D. Rogers, of Queens; Hon. H. ©. Lake, of Chatauqua; + Neil Cook, of St, Lawrence; Colonel Freeman, of St Lawrence; Otto E C. Gurliek, of Oneida; Hon. Archi- buld M. Bliss, of Kings; Colonel Conkling, of New York; Hon B. F, Manlerre, of New York; John Cochrane, of Now York; G, H. McKay, of New York; Christopher Pullman, of New York; Hugh Nesbitt, of New York, &e. The State Committee met this evening at the Delavan House to perfect arrangements for the Convention. There was considerable canvassing as to what was best to do in the Convention Tho majority of those here were decidedly opposed to the nomination or indorsement of any State ticket, and were in favor of only making a declara- tion of the principles of this organization by the restora- tion of the Cincinnati plattorm. The Kings county delogation, or a majority of it, under the lead of Archie Bliss, are in favor’ of indorsing the democratic ticket. Others, however, say that if Allen carries. Ohio’ ‘there will be a general stampede in this State for the republican licket, as the democratic party of this State will stand no chunee whatever in the Democratic National Cohyention next year, The Convention meets at Tweddle Hall to-morrow. There is no excitement nor any great amopnt of in- terest even, and the indications are that the Convention will be a small one. Those hore say they do not expect any great number and meet only for the purpose of maintaining their organization, leaving their adherents to vote as they ple THE ANTI-TAMMANY PARTY. THE MEETING OF THE COUNTY COMMITTEE ‘THIS EVENING AT IRVING HALL. ‘The General, or rather, as the members of it prefer to call it, the County Committee of the anti-Tammany party will hold a meoting at Irving Hall this evening for the purpose of more effectually perfecting the or- ganization and to draw up a code of bylaws by which hereafter the members of the committee will be guided, It is believed, too, that there will be a somewhat ex- citing time over the selection of a permanent chairman, and the reason why ono is to be elected is, according to some of the members, that at the last meeting of the committee only a temporary organ- ization was effected. It is more than probable if he can be induced to accept that Thomas J. Creamer willbe nominated for tho position, as his strategic campaign last November, which resulted in the defeat of Mr, Morrissey’s friend, Hayes, has given him a prestige with those anti-Tammanyites who are really in earnest in opposition to the Wigwam leaders, which places him virtually at the head of the new opposition, Whether anything will be said in an authoritative way about THE COMBINATION WITH THE REPUBLICANS that isto be made on the county ticket it would be hard to conjecture, for the reason that the leaders aro in no way anxious, as yet, to make known all their plans for the campaign until they are ready to strike the biow which, in the carnestness of the hearts of some of them, they confidently think will knock the Tammany party into smithereens, It scoms certain anyhow, judging from the talk being in- dulged in by some of the most active workers in the organization, that Mr. Benjamin K. Phelps, the present District Attorney, will be renominated by the repub- licans and that he will be indorsed by the anti-Tammany party. The latter claim that, taking Mr. Ottendorfer's vote of last year as a basis for calculation, they will, it they join hands with the republicans on candidates for Coroner, Surrogate, City Judge, Marine Court Judges, as well as the District Attorney, be certain to win the day. Ottendorfer’s vote was 24,226 and Wales’ 36,953. Taking it for genes. as they do, that the republican candidate for District Attorney will poll 40,000 votes, and that the anti-Tammany party’ can give him and their own candidates for the other county offices to bo indorsed by the republicans as large & vote at any rate as was given Ottendorfer, they point to the grand result of over 90,000 votes against Tam- many’s 70,000, It is pretty certain that a large portion of ‘THR GERMAN VOTE cast last year for Ottendorfer was cast against Wickham simply because the candidate was Mr. Ottendorfer, and {t is just as certain that a portion of it will this year range itself on the side of Tammany, where it belonged before the Ottendorfor candidacy. In the opinion of the Tammany men the opposition will be lucky if they cast, Independent of the republicans, 15,000 votes; but it must be understood that this year there’ ts a very ugly feeling among the laboring classes who persist in holding Tammany responsible for the reduction of the wages of the men in the employ of the city from $2 to $1 60 a day, although even at the latter rate they ure now being paid a higher price than laborers not in the employ of the city, There is a good deal that is more talk on’ this subject with some of the workingmen, who, though they growl against Tam- many, will vote the straight Tammany ticket as usual, but it’is equally certain that a large vote of tho dissatis- fied will be found on the side of Tammany’s antagonists, It may be said just here that some of the Tammany eople do not put much faith in the boasts of their democratic opponents to the effect that the republicans will indorse all their county candidates, “for,” say say, “the republicans will not play second ‘fiddle to ‘the | anti-Tammany fellows, as they would be domg by indorsing their ticket.” But it should be borne in mind by those who anticipate a disagreement on this score that if the republicans agree to indorse all the anti-Tammany county candidates on condition that their own nomination for District Attorney will be in- dorsed by them in return, they will fot be content with taking only such men as ‘the ‘anti-Tammanyites sce fit to put in nomination without consultation with their ailies, The fact will provably be that the latter will have almost as much to say about who shall be nomi- nated for Recorder, Surrogate, &c., as they will have about the District Attorneyship if the deal is to be made at all in good earnest, though, of course, the nominees will be democrats. Tho IrvingsHall Committee to-night at their meeting may not openly touch upon that particu- lar feature of their coming campaign whiclr depends for its success on “the union of hearts and the union of hands’ on tho part of themselves and the republicans, but the leadors will doubtless do something to prepara their followers for what is to be done in a week or two, SIXTH DISTRICT DEMOCRATS, ‘A mass meeting of the democracy of the Sixth As- sembly district was held last night at Thalian Hall, No. 492 Grand street, to ratify the Syracuse platform and to suggest the nomination of Mr. Timothy J. Campbell for State Senator, The meeting was called to order by P, J. MeAlear, Chairman of the District Democratic Committee, who nominated J. D. McKinnon for chair- man of theevening.

An order of arrest was issued against General Bois- rond Canal, He, however, refused to allow himself to be arrested, saying that he was in “‘arms.’” After two days of flight Canal and his companions arrived at the Riviere estate, where they killed Captain L. J. Jacques and another unfortunate volunteer named Charleston Charles After committing these criminal acts they took refuge in the residence of Mme. Soulouque, Later on the court "martial in question was held.

INTERVIEW WITH TH MAYTIAN MINISTER, Yesterday afternoon it was reported that several tele- grams passed between Secretary Fjsh and His Excel- lency Stephen Preston, the Haytfin Minister to this country. A Hxnazo reporter called upon the Minister, at the office on Broadway of the Haytian Legation, and asked Mr. Preston if he could give any fresh news about the General Canal matter and the American Min- ister, Mr. Preston stated that he had received no later news than had already been published, but that he ex- pected to receive tidings from Port’au Prince in the next three or four days. This ended the brief interview. From the pleasant and smiling face of the Minister the reporter drew the conclusion that he did not look for- ward to any very serious complications between the two countries, ‘WHAT A HAYTIAN SAYS. In conversation with a prominent Haytian merchant, he stated to a Hxnaxp reporter:—“Your Minister, Mr. Bassett, will not surrender, I feel sure, the refugees in his legation til some arrangement has been arrived at between the two countries. It would not befit the dignity of this country for him to doso. The refugees are political, not criminal, and the Stars and Stripes should always offer a protection to the oppressed. The United States do well in sending the Powhatan to Port au Prince, for the naval flag of this country {s seen there far too selaom. I say this as an American citi- zen, Minister Bassett’s house is and has been sur- rounded for a long time past by several hundred sol- diers, and no one can reach it without a military pass. It is the custom of all countries to allow the legations or consulates to be a place of refuge, or sanctuary, if you choose to call it so, for political offenders. The Emperor Souloque took refuge in the Fronch Consulate and was protected, and General Lamotte, who tried to overthrow Salnave, took refuge in tho British Consulate, Tho uprising from which the present trouble grew in Hayti occurred on tho lst of May last, when General Monplaisir Pierre and General Brice were killed in revolutionary uprising. The Haytian army numbers about 20,000 men, and sho has two new gut- boats for her navy, which left Philadelphia on the 6th inst. for Port au Brince, and another gunboat in her own waters, It is ess to disguise from you that some of the Haytian people have a very bitter feeling against this country at the present moment, on account of the conduct of Minister Bassett, whom they believe is wilfully screening murderers from justice; but those who think thus pire the fact that Consulates ara, by custom, places of protection for political refugees, THE SENATE INVESTIGATING COM- MITTEE, The committee appointed by the Senate to iavestigate the city departmenjs—Messrs, Booth, Bradley and To- bey—was expected to meet yosterday at the Fifth Ave- nue Hotel, Only Senator Tobey was present and no business Was tran: RENDING A ROCK REEF, A successful attempt was made yesterday morning to blow upa reef of rocks which has obstructed the Har- lem River, just below the Third avenuo bridge. About ton o'clock a large party of people had assembled on the shore to witness the explosion. Midway in the stream was a large scow, on which is a powerful steam drill- ing machine, with which tho work preparatory to the charging of the reef wasdone. The explosive material used was nitro-glycerine, This was conined in long tubes of black tin, which were capped by round torpedoes, and which exactly fitted deep holes that had been previously drilled in the rocks, Tho placing of these tubes in their respective circular compartments was a yery delicate operation, for upon this alone d pended the success or failure of the experiment, At about half-past nine o’clock two divers, encased in air-tight india rubber suits, which’ enveloped them head and foot, went down under the water to undertake the difficult task. They were held under the tido by means of the massive lvad soles of iat ar wee p gery of lead Scan WW WOrg ATO! bs lown HP ten aud a They a ar ag nate water about fifty minates, during which seven of theso nitro-glycerine cylinders were passed down to them under water, when they wore deposited in the manner indicated above. Now, connecting with each one of these cylinders was a slight wire, which the divers also arrang When everything had been satisfactorily arranged tho diverts came up and were taken on board the dredging Machine, Then tho Scot? Was slowly towed away, several men upon her stern paying out the wires over which the electric clirrent was soon to After the machine had been towed a distance of about 200 yards, three shrill whistles announced the warning that the explosion was at once to be at- tempted. Tho next instant, though the spectators were far away, the ground underneath their fect shook as ifagitated by earthquake, there was a terrible com- motion on the surface of the river, and then up went a massive column of water to the extreme height of 150 fect, carrying with it immense masses of rock, some of which weighed several tons. A wild burst of admira- tion came from the people, for the sight was grand beyond all description. As the column came down the river became a mass of boiling, seething water, lashed and beaten into a hissitg foam. The experiment was in every way a success, MASKED BURGLARS CAUGHT, TWO “DUCKERS AND GAGGERS” FROM NEW HARTFORD, N. ¥., ARRESTED HERE—A TARDY writ, On the night of August 9, between eleven and twelve o’clock, a burglary was committed on the premises of Peter Germond, of New Hartford, Oneida county, N.

Accable despatch from London announces the death of Mr, John Vance, Member of Parliament for Armagh, Ireland. Mr. Vance was the eldest son of the late Andrew Vance, Esq., of Rutland square, Dublin, and was born tn that city on December 10, 1808, He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and graduated as @ Master of Arts in 1838. He was head of a large mer~ cantile firm engaged in the Irish and colomal trade. Im. 1847 he unsuccesstully contested the borough of Can- terbury, Kent, in the conservative interest, but was elected one of the members for Dublin city at the general election in 1852, his colleague being” Mr. Grogan. Messrs. Grogan and Vance continued to sit for the borough from that time till 1865, but they could scarcely be called its representatives, as they were tories of the old school and got elected partly through. the majority of the citizens being deprived of the fran- chise and partly through the exertions of the ciass of voters known as ‘frecmen,” since deprived of the fran- chise for gross corruption. Mr. Vance belonged to a school of toryism whic is rapidly passing away in Ireland, Being defeated im Dublin in 1865, he was elected for Armagh without opposition in 1867, and was re-elected in November, 1505, from which tiie till his death he sat for that oor stituency, e Personally and socially Mr. Vance was respected evem by those who differed entirely from bis pronounced. conservative views.

He read law in the offic of the late Judge Radcliffe, and during the iast thirty ears has practised extensively in al! the courts of the tate, Devoting himself exclusively to the cuties of his professiqn he won a high position among his as- sociates and was respected and esteemed by all who knew him. His detiso will be mourned by the Bar generally and a large circle of friends. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SCANDAL. MR. HOLLINS ASSAULTED BY ROWDIES—THE PUBLIC MEETING POSTPONED—THE INVESTI* GATION TO COMMENCE TO-NIGHT. The desperate strait to which some of the mon im- Plicated in the transactious of which, report has beon made by Mr. Hollins, of the Board, of Education im Jersey City, are reduced may be inferred from tue con- stant threats of violence made against that gentleman, Some of these threats have beoa carried out, shough: happily without any serious result, Previous to the meeting of tho Board of Education on Monday evening, and while several members of the Board, including Mr. Hollins, were standing in the clerk’s office, the gas suddenly went out, and it has not been clearly ascertained whether this was the result of accident or design. At all events, the hall leading from the main entrance was left In darkness during U evening. When the meeting adjourned Mr, ‘Holling assed out through the dark hall, and moved astily past a gang of six or seven men, one of whom he has known to be ‘a pretty bard character.’* He had not gone many paces when he recollected that he had left his copy of the minutes on his desk and re= turned for it, repassing the same gang. He had gone half through the hali when one of the men rushed im front of and jostled him against the wall whilo auother struck at hi head, but missed and planted a heavy ad between his shoulders, Mr. Hollins, who toolg the PRECAUTION TO CARRY A RBVOLVER, wheeled around and faced his assailants, The cowardly ruillans took to their heels. Great indignation prevail throughout the ety. over this bec to crush by* violence a man who has already stopped a great leak im the public treasury. The gentlemen who had called the ose meeting at the Arcade for last evening notified Mr. ollins that they deemed it advisable to postpone tha meeting for two reasons:—First, it might be regarded a8 anticipating the action of the Grand Jury, and secondly, because there was a disturbance threatened by the rowdy element. This opinion was shared by r. Carscallen, foreman of the Grand aay who called on Mr. Hollins’ yesterday and informed him that tha Grand Jury would set down an early day for the con+ sideration of the case. A large number of witnesses will be summoned. Tho investigation by the Commits tee of the Board of Education, Messrs. Mercoin Sanborn, will commence, to-morrow evening eight o’clock. These gentlemen havo not yet agreed om a third person to act with them on the committee.
