Lord Derby, in the course of his ‘response to a toast, expressed the opinion that the in. surrectionary difficulty in Turkey had been exaggerated, He said the great Powers were not disposed to assist ‘the insurgents. It would be impolitic to concede self- government to Herzegovina, Judicious reforms might Bileviate discontent, although a radical oure could hardly be expected. Alluding to England’s relations with China, he said no further intelligence had been received from Pekin, Every one must deprecate war while honorably avoid. able, It was necessary, however, to insist upon just and moderate demands and not shirk our duty because it was unpleasant, If trouble should arise the fault would not be ours, BUSPENSION OF THE ADMIRALTY DECREE ORDER- ING THE SURRENDER OF FUGITIVE SLAVES.

Bishop Ryan boldly accuses his Episcopalian brother of being “on the fence” regarding “the school ques- tion,” and begins a review of Dr. Cox in the following manner ‘As the school question has been made the these vituporative and slanderous charges, and as afew sectarian bigots and partisan politicians, who place party above principle and truth, are striving to make capital out of the same, affecting to hold us and the Church as enemies of education, seeking tho de- struction of the public schools, I, too, will avail my- self of the occasion once more to put on record our oft pretext for workings of his torpedo boat Alarm, which has | and clearly expressed views on this absorbing question, views I opme not very different from those enunciated by our right reverend slanderer.” Should Dr, Cox retaliate on his Catholic eritie, this | will be the third contest im which these respective champions have broken lances, FOUNDERED AT SEA, THE SHIP MAYFLOWER GOES DOWN IN THE AT- LANTIC—RESCUE OF THE CAPTAIN AND THE CREW.

This delay 1s regarded by some of the more inflammable Catholics as an Indication that the members of the Canadian Institute dare not make a second attempt to bury Gui- ‘bord. There is no doubt that these people will be dis- sppointed, ‘The general opinion among the citizens ot lontreal is that the decree of the Queen’s Privy Coun- ‘ell will be enforced by the officers of the law. itis cor. tain that on the day of the interment the funeral cortége will be escorted to the cemetery by the militia, Whether these precautionary © measures will prevent a commotion such as occurred at the first effort to bury Guibord’s remains can- not be predicted.

Tne members of the Institute believe that he ‘will not issue such an order, and they fear that his neg- Tect will cause another riot. The members of the Institute disclaim any intention of putting explosive materials in the grave in which Guibord’s remains are to be interred, ey also deny the report that they have communicated with the United States naval department concerning the use of welt explosives, They expect to be able to prevent Guibord’s —diginterment without blowing into eternity two or three score of Canadians, Stone cut- ‘tors are now busy cutting heavy stones, It is said that those stones are to be in the grave in the form of a Dox, that the coffin containing Guibord’s remains is to be Vp in ft, and that the box will then be covered ‘with a massive stone, so sealed to it that it cannot be Tomoved. AS soon as these stones are cut and in posi- ‘tion the interment will take place.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE LAW REGARDING THE BRANDING OF CIGAR BOXES—OPINION OF THE APTORNEY GENERAL, The Commissigner of Internal Revenue has referred to the Adored the question whether the law requiring wooden cigar boxes to be branded with the name of the manufacturer, district and number of his factory is to be construed as extending to pasteboard and tin boxes, which are extensively used in packing cigarettes. The internal revenue officials could @ot agree, the Commissioner maintaining that the law must be literally fulfilled, although he does not know by what process tin will be made to take the impression of a hot branding iron. On the pasteboard boxes the | hedt scorches the surtace and otherwise disfigures the ge.

The appropriation fre- | quently asked for for this purpose has not been granted | by Congress, and what has now happened j to 200 or 300 Indians is likely to come | any day to from 4,000 to 60,000 of the | ion indians of Lower California, This trouble is radical, consisting in the f that, in their transfer to the United States by Mexico, they Jost all right and re- | ed D0! rn, These rights the deparunent | has sought diligently to obtain, but they can only be | conferred by Congre oe | | THER TEMECULA INDIANS DRIVEN FROM THEIR | HOMES.

P, A numerous audience assembled m the Cooper In- stitute last evening to hear Mr. O'Connor Power, M. P., in his lecture on “The Condition of Ireland: Social, Political and Industrial.” A beautifully embroidered silk flag, presented by the people of Tipperary to the Sixty-ninth regiment, and a bright American banner, were suspended above the platform. Tho lecturer was introduced’ to the audience by General P. H. Jones, who was called to the chair by Major Haggerty. There were present on the stage General Thomas F, Bourke, Major Conyngham, Father Kelly, Colonel John Nolan and others. Mr. O'Connor Power has a strong if not & handsome face, Ho has a firm mouth and nose and his features generally give the impression of vigor, force and courage, He speaks without the least perceptible Irish accent. His voice is well adapted for the rostrum, and his language is singularly pure and effective. He is above the middle height, of com- pact frame and manly bearing. His: appearance was greeted with tumultuons applause, He began by saying that he bad come across 3,000 miles of ocean to try and explain to them the condition of Ireland, ber wrongs and sufferings, her wants and her necessities. In America there was a transplanted Irish nation, exercis- ing more or less influence on the political thought of the country. England’s representation, though not numerically as large, was ¢till considerable. Through hor Ambassador at Washington, who has free access to tho ear of the Executive, England, of course, has an advantage. In the annals of America, however, he could find ample assurance of American sym- pathy with Trish freedom, Ireland _recipro- cated this feeling, and since the day Corn. wallis surrendered his swofd at Yorktown to the day Richmond opened her gates to the victorious armies of the North, restoring union and peace once more between the two distracted sections of a once happy land, Irishmen havo never faltered in their | friendship and admiration of the great Republic, He insisted that the cause of Ireland was the canse of humanity, and as such must needs win the sympathy of all who look with any degree of favor on the efforts of struggling nationalities to gain their freedom. In rogard to the social condition of Ireland, there were more than 500,000 tenant farmers who were placed so completely at the mercy of the landlords that they were liable at any moment to be thrown. out of their little holdings. Nine-tenths of thé soil was in tho hands of meu Who held it by right of conquest, which was simply the right of brute force, In regard to the holding of Ireland by England, there never was a time when, if the heavy hand of — power had been the Trish people would — continue lish connection for a single moment. E e the act of union was passed there have been t esacting on the Irish mind, th withdrawn, the fo an attra people before the act of union was passed how trade Hourished, how her nobility and gentry stayed at home on their estates, how religious dissensions were sub- dued and a universal harmony prevailed through the influence of a native Parliament represent- ing native interests, He believed that tme would but intensify the longing of the Irish heart for an Lrish Parliament in College Green. He was in favor of having the diflerences between England and Ireland settled on a strict international basis, and not onthe grounds of expediency, Ireland and’Eng- land may cease to be enemies on one condition only, and thai fs by the restoration to Ireland of the birth: right of which she was plundered, The national mem- bers from Ireland in the British Parliament had for- mulated their programme of action, and that was to offer unrelenting hostility to any British Ministry which declined to yield to the wishes of the Irisi people, In regard to the industrial condi- tion of Ireland he was happy to say it was greatly improved. Of course it could not compete with England im’ the matter of manufac. tures, for Ireland was deticient in coal, which was one of the greatest sources of wealth a country could possess in these modern days. Ireland, he thought, however, was backward m manufacturing industry not so much because of the deficiency of mineral wealth as of the jealously of England and the prohibitive legislation levelled in past times at Irish manufactures, with a view of utterly extinguishing them for the benetit. of the more favored manufacturers of Lancashire, ‘The lecturer quoted from a history of Irish trade to show the many enactments made by the English government in the past century to cripple the industries of the sister isle, An English act of Charles Il. prohibited the importation of fat cattle into England from Ireland when it interfered with the protits of Eng- lish graziers, but there was no prohibition of the ex- portation of cattle from Ireland in the famine of 1846 and 1847, when whole districts were depopulated and thousands perished by the wayside, All the worst re- tions on the trade of Ireland remained in foree until 1778, when the spirit of the American Revolution crept into Ireland and soon cailed forth the glorious army of yolunteers who asserted the frecdom of her trade and commerce. If it had not been for the hostile policy of England to Irish trade Ireland w®uld now be in the full enjoyment of her woollen and cotton manufactures. She has retained her linen manufactures because the Ulster tenant farmer enjoys security of tenure, without which he could never hope to cultivate 80 expensive and pre- carious a crop a8 that of flax, Give fixity of tenure everywhere in Ireland, and the North alone will not enjoy a monopoly of the prosperity and trade of Ireland, 1 toa speech of Lord Curlisle, who ox- pressed the hope that Ireland would become the fruitful mother of flocks and herds, and insisted that the wish of Carlisle was not far from being realized; that sheep and cattle are fust taking the place of men and women, With an eloquent peroration the lecturer concluded his address atnid applause. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. Mr, John E. Owens has purchased the Academy of Music at Charleston, ‘The late James W, Wallack, Jr., was the only English speaking Humlet Rossi ever saw. The dramatic season now opening in the Southern States promises quite a revival in most of the leading cities. Mr. Belmore takes his benefit at Booth’s to-night, playing Newman Noggs in an adaptation of “Nicholas ckleby” by Mr. George Fawcett Rowe. Mr. Heverau, the organist of the village church at | Heswoll on the Deo, was struck dead by lightning the other Sunday while playing the “Magnificat.” An unknown donor sent a magnificent diamond neck- lace to Mile, Titiens the other day, with a request in Spanish that sho should wear it for the giver, It is said the prima donna thinks America is a queer coun- try. Rubinstein is arranging for the performance of his opera “Les Maccabees” in different towns in Germany, In November ho returns to Paris to finish the score of “Neron,” an opera to which M. Jules Barbier has written the libretto. Mendelssohn's capriccio brillante, opus 22, is a charming composition, and we are always glad to see it appreciated and praised by the critics. But we sug. gest that it would be better to reserve this praise for the occasions on which it is really performed. Mme. Goddard did not give the capriccio on Wednesday night, ag the programme announced, but she did play the iast two movements of Mendelssohn’s concerto in G minor, ‘The criticism of the first work in some of the morning apers of yesterday did not seem to apply very accu. rately to the merits of the other, Thus, although Mme. Goddard did not perform a capriccio brillante on the pianoforte, she did perform it with a vengeance on the papers. ~~ OBITUARY. ALFRED PENN. Alfred Penn, the father of D. B.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE TRUSTRES axD REPORT OF THE GENERAL AGENT. The annual meeting of the trustees of the Peabody Educational Fund was resumed yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

The General Agent, Dr, Sears, handed in his report ot the year’s expenditure, Dr, Sears says:—The publi¢ schools of Virginia are constantly improving in character and increasing in number, The system of public in. struction seems to ve well grounded im the generai sentiment of the people.

The work in Louisiana is not going on exactly a3 fast as it might. Some way will probably be devised for uniting with the State in maintaining throughout the year schools for both races, In Tennessee the public schools are rapidly multiplying. The State University at Nash- ville, has been converted into a normal school, and provision is made for commencing its first session during the present autumn.
