The opening of the coming session of Par- liament is looked forward to with consider- able interest, and also with anxiety. There is much curiosity in reference to the rumor that the Queen will open Parliament in person, and that Her Majesty will be accom- panied by the Princess of Wales. The statement has not yet received any official corroboration. THE EASTERN DIFFICULTY. The Eastern question will be the promi- aent topic in Parliamentary discussion, to- gether with the purchase of the Suez Canal shares, and it is scarcely possible to foresee the probable upshot of these debates, inas- much as this Eastern question is beset with yo many complications. Andrassy’s note will be discussed at the Cabinet council on the 18th. Although Lord Derby expresses dissatisfaction that England was not con- sulted before the note was drawn up, yet the sentiment of the country appears to be ~ that Andrassy’s proposal was well meant and deserving of support, although it is aouement of the drama that is so confidently expected in the spring. The Daily News has several Vienna telegrams concerning con- siderable military movements in Southern Russia, implying a concentration of troops there which could be used in a descent on Turkey. The Times says that no Ministerial decis- ion can avert the inevitable fate consequent on Ottoman misrule. Tho longer the time for the settlement of the Herzegovina diffi- culty is postponed the heavier will be the final settlement. Should the attempt at a peaceful settlement fail Montenegro and Servia can scarcely be kept from a participa- tion in the struggle. HOME QUESTIONS. Bnglish politics are uninteresting. The slave circular and Plimsoll’s Shipping bill are subjects of discussion. The Grattan statue is also discussed with reference to the Trish home rule members of Parliament, who are leaguing themselves to obstruct Parliamentary business with interminable speeches. Their intention is to show that the English Parliament cannot attend to the asiness of both realms, LABOR DIFFICULTIES. The dispute between the Amalgamated Bngineers and their employers threatens to assume the proportions of a war. It has resulted so far in a strike of 170 engineers, employed by Easton £ Andet- son, at Erith, This was caused by the endeavor of the manufacturers to re- introduce piccewrk, which the Amalga- mated Engineers consider unjust be- , cause of its attackiixg overtime and its injustice to ie weaker work-/ men. The Amalgamated Engineers rule 30,000 skilled hands, on whom 100,000 de- (Pend directly for work. At the meeting of the iron trade employ- ers, assembled at Derby, it was resolved to tewist these demands, because the contracts wore ruled by pieee prices, fixed beforehand. Thesquestion is assuming important propor- tions, with a possibility of the strike extend- ing to*the majority of the engineers in the country. TRE PRINCE OF WALES. The sigtht-seeing of the Prince of Wales, and his prowence at the Nautsch girl dances especially, isteonsidered unbecoming here, ind is known’ to be thonght disgraceful «mong respectable Hindoos. The animal lights are also odious to myriads of natives , of Hindostan. These are deplored and cen- inred by Dr. Duff, a Iigh official of the Scot- ‘ish Free Church. The Daily elegraph admits the justice of he indictment against thes advisers of the Prince for neglecting the grayer aspects of NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JANUARY 16, 1876.—IRIPLE SHEET. PARISIAN NOTES. |SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES A Stable Republic Making | Jovellar’s Reply to the Circular hospitals, receiving Shastris, groves, founding scholarships and giving audience to learned pundits, thus winning the native intellect as well as the heart, and thereby securing a double triumph. STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE. The Secretary of the London Missionary Society has received an offer of $25,000 to establish a mission at Lake Tanganyika, where Stanley met Livingstone. A commit- tee has been appointed to carry out the project. THE DEUTSCHLAND. An interesting controversy has arisen be- tween the Iustrated London News and other journals as to the truth of the sketch of the wreckers on board the Deutschland. The editor writes to the Globe, quoting the letter to the Henaxp, describing a visit to the wreck, and corroborating the truthfulness of their artist's sketch, MUSIC AND THE DRAMA, The past week has been prolific for the production of new pieces at the theatres ; among which are English versions of Offen- bach’s “Madame l’Archiduc” and Vasseur's “Timbale d’Argent,” under the title of the “Duke's Daughter.” The audiences have been noisy, unruly and tumultuous, and they have hissed Offenbach’s operetta. The ‘Timbale d’Argent” fared very [ittle better. The journals think that a taste for French operettas is dying out. SIMS REEVES AND COSTA. Sims Reeves is convalescent, but Sir Michael Costa is still suffering. To-night is the last appearance of Sothern and Emmet. Neilson appears as Juliet on Monday at the Haymarket. Irving's Othello is fixed for the 5th of February. Sothern will leave by the Celtic on the 28th. Carl Rosa has finished an extraordinarily successful season in English opera at Liver- pool. It is rumored confidentially that Mlle. Nilsson will enter into an engagement for English opera with Carl Rosa for an Ameri- can tour. It is stated from Germany that Richard Wagner's opera, “Percival,” a second holy grail subject similar to “Lohengrin,” is nearly completed and will be published in Vienna. BOUCICAULT AND THE FENIANS. Boucicault still engages attention. The Saturday Review styles his address ‘‘Theatri- cal Fenianism,” and speaks of Boucicault’s | amusing audacity, and thinks that he has proved the censorship irrelinquishable. "The Spectator is the only London journal that believes Boucicault is in earnest, and that the effect has been to call attention to Fenian prisoners, It admits that Boucicault has done much to the Irish character on the English stag” “Shaughraun” hag been withdrawn, and next Saturday, at the Adelphi Theatre, the “Peep o’ Day” will be revived. GREEK GEMS AND MARBLES. Another exquisite collection of Greek gems, jewelry and marbles, are offered to the British Museum by Castelloni, to be &- hibited there. The press favors the acquisi- tion by England, and deprecates the idea of its going to America, like Cesnoli’s collec- tion from Cyprus. THE EXCAVATION AT OLYMPIA. The German excavation at Olympia gives satisfaction to European anti- qnarians and all lovers of art. The torso of the figure of Jupiter, originally on the east- ern gable of the great temple, has been dis- covered, also the grand and beautiful figure of Victory, the very statue mentioned by Pau- sanias ; also an exquisite life-sized head ofa immense proving that the Greeks worked that material for larger statues as-well as smaller ones. FAMINE AND DISEASE, News has been received from Weimar that at the village of Wankenheim there is fear- ful and widespread suffering from hunger, with a consequent epidemic of typhoid fever. Forty persons are dead, Sixty have been | attacked out of a population of 600. SWINBURNE'S NEW TRAGEDY. Swinburne’s new tragedy of ‘Erechtheus” | has appeared, and is welcomed as a riper and nobler companion piece of ‘Atalanta in | Calydon.” THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. In financial and commercial circles the business of the week has been somewhat animated, although the differences in prices are wide. Dulness, however, attaches to | many of the departments of trade. The great failures which have occurred, and others that are believed to be pending, have induced unnsual caution, and hence, out- side of purely speculative marts, transac- tions are limited. AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BONDS continue to exhibit firmness and an upward tendency. The new fives have risen one- half per cent, and other classes from one- eighth to one-quarter per cent. The demand for them.is steady and apparently increas- ing, being materially aided by the prevailing fears of a complication in European politics, which, if it occurs, will prove of serious dam- | age to all weaker securities, AMERICAN RAILROAD BONDS are lower, notably Reading, which is due to the announcement of a material decrease in the earnings of the company and that the April dividend would be passed. Pennsyl- vania bonds are in good request. Eries are unchanged and the disposition is to wait satyr in terra cotta, which is interesting as | until existing questions as to the reorganiza- tion of the company are determined. The Pittsburg and Connellsville loan, guaranteed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany, and the new Reading loan have been largely subseribed for, the former being the scrip most favored and commanding a pre- mium, This loan forms part of a total issue of £2,200,000, and will be applied, it is stated, to the payment of an existing debt, amounting to $9,400,000, the greater portion of which is due to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. , ENGLISH CONSOLS are steady on a slight advance. Cheaper money is confidently expected, which is likely to stimulate speculation in these and other good securities. THE BANK RATE, which is now five per cent, was not reduced on Thursday, contrary to general expecta- tion, owing to the continued demand for gold for exportation, Germany is still en- gaged in the process of coinage, and France has also a use for gold arising from various causes, As has been already reported, the stock of bullion in the Bank of France is unprecedentedly large, but it is believed that much of this can be attracted back when re- quired. THE EMMA MINE. Affairs connected with this enterprise are still occupying a share of the public atten- tion. The Hour, in a recent article on the subject, says that Albert Grant proposes to find $50,000 wherewith to still further work the mine, and advises shareholders not to trust too implicitly all the rumors they may hear, It is now said that another company is striking ore near the Emma. The judg- ment of an English Court is likely to be | pronounced at a not distant day upon | the actions of the English confederates of the original directors. The paper referred Anglo-American affairs, such as are illus- trated in this case, are truly deplorable, in- asmuch as any American mine or railway enterprise worthy of confidence on the other side would quickly find friends in England but for the swindles that have been per- petrated during the past few years. FOREIGN SECURITIES. feature was the Egyptian bonds, which have been much agitated in consequence of re- the Hon. Mr. Cave. The latest rumor is that Englisb parties are negotiating for the purchase of certain Egyptian railroads. Austrian and Peruvian bonds have likewise attracted attention, although they are some- what lower on account of suspected diffi- culties arising from the pessibility of new loans. THE GENERAL SITUATION. Taken altogether it would not be truthful to describe the monetary situation in Eng- land as satisfactory. It does not compare well with that of the same period last year. Gigantic collapses have occurred. The com- is neither a superabundance of work nor the former high prices for labor. The public wear its once brilliant front, and the market ions sterling less than it was twelve months ago. AQUATIC SPORTS. NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES BOAT RACE—QUES- TIONS OF THE DAY OF THE EVENT AND CON- TEST IN AMERICA. Loxpo, Jan. 15, 1876. Bell’s Life in London, issued to-day, has tho follow. ing remarks on aquatic matters;— THE UNIVERSITIES’ CHALLENGER TO ROW IN AMERICA, “In order that any of the English universities may accept the invitation to contest in the tnternational college boat race in America it is indispensable that the day for the event be fixed considerably later than that proposed, Owing to the late Easter this year the great interuniversity contest on the Thames will be rowed in the second week im April. The same cause will prolong the May term at Oxford and Cambridge, which will, probably, delay the annual Henley regatta until about the middie of June. THE PRESENT ARRANGEMENT proposes that the American race will be rowed on the 19th of July. The English universities will thus have barely four weeks’ time to pi¢k their crows, go to America and complete their preparations thera Two months or ten weeks would be required if Oxiord, Cam- bridge or Dublin should decide to participate in the American race. It is quite certain that the men ro- lected for that contest would be unable to row at Hen- Jey-on-Thames, A GREATER MISPORTUXE could not befall our own aquatic carnival, and no Brit- ish rowing man would consent to it, That our univer- sities may take part in the international collegiate race, and also the international regatta at Philadelphia, is the wish of the whole country, but {t will be neces. sary for our friends across the Atlantic to Ox a later day. THE INTERNATIONAL REGATTA AT PHIL ADRLParA fs fixed for the end of August, It is highly probable that England will be represented there by two or three crews, independently of the universitie: Why not hold the collegiate race at the same regatta or within a few days of it? When the invitation from the New York Regatta Commitice reached England all three of the universities haa separated for the Christmas vaca- tion, At the resumption of the term the matter will be discussed, and, even if tho date of the proposed con- Lost is changed, jt is impossible to say what the decision will be, bat, as at present Axed, it will be impossible fur either of the universities to accept the mvitation. * THE SHIP CARAVAN. DRUNEENNESS AND RIOT ON BOARD —SAILORS ARRESTED BY THE ENGLISH RIVER POLICE, Livenroon, Jan. 15, 1876, The American ship Caravan, Captain Waefelaer, left the Waterloo dock at this place at one o'clock yester- day for New York. She had proceeded but a few miles down the river, as far as New Brighton, when a scene of great violence occurred aboard. THR CAPTAIN states that the crew, who shipped just before the de partare of the ship, were all drunk. A® soon as the Caravan got out into the river the crew, who had been ordered to duty, became insubordinate and threatened to kill bim, as well as the officers He therefore signalled to THE RIVER POLICE, who promptly boarded the Caravap and took two of the to further remarks that disagreements in | Among foreign securities the principal | ports concerning the result of the mission of | mercial world is strewn with wrecks.

THE BARK ISLAND BELLE, THE ENGLISH OFFICIAL INQUIRY CONCERNING HER LOSS—A CAPTAIN'S CERTIFICATE S8US- PENDED. Lonpow, Jan, 15, 1876. The inquiry by the Board of Trade, at Biddeford, into the loss of the British bark Island Belle was con- cluded yesterday, It has transpired that Channel Island vesacls sailing from a port where a registered captain is required are accustomed to have a nominal captain, who is mate to the real but uncertificated mas- ter, THE COURT SUSPENDED | vhe certificate of the nominal captain, Hewett, for two years, but expressed no opinion as to the death of Lewig, who was alleged to have been brutally kicked by Hewett. LONDON ’'CHANGE. THE FORTNIGHTLY SETTLEMENT AND CONDI- TION OF BUSINESS—-FLUCTUATIONS IN VALUES, Loxpon, Jan, 15, 1876. Although the regular fortnightly settlement at the London Stock Exchange has absorbed much attention, a fairly active business has been transacted during the week and the fluctuations in some stocks were wide, ENGLISH AND AMERICAN | government securities have been in request, with an upward tendency, but Austrian and Hungarian bonds and English railway stocks have attracted the princi- pal share of attention. The former were depressed, partly on account of diificulties arising in the negotia- tions for.a revision of relations and partly in conse- quence of the projected issue of new loans, RAILWAY SHARES were generally lower in consequence of the dividends declared, which, though mostly better than the last half of 1874, did not meet the expectations of specula- tors, TURKISH AND PERUVIAN securities have been dull, without material chango. Egyptians have been largely dealt in. Money has been in active demand for the purposes of settlement, but there has been little commercial demand for accommo- dation, and in the absence of inquiry for new loans and other financial enterprises the rate has gradually | lowered, ‘THREE MONTHS? BILLS. The ruling price of four per cent for three months’ bills ig scarcely maintained, To-day some transactions are reported at one-eighth lower. A reduction in tho Bank rate of discount next Thursday is already talked about, Continental exchanges, however, owing to the scarcity of bills, were less favorable to this market at the close of the week. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Loxpox, Jan, 15, 1876. ‘The Liverpool! cotton market has experienced a se- vere pressure to sell, the tone has been depressed, and there has been much irregularity. Continued heavy receipts and large shipments appear to have led to in- creased crop estimates and induced merchants to placo a great part of the recent imports on the market, The demand for tho trade has been small, and the week bas been one of much disappointment to holders. It closes without any relief to the feeling of depression which prevailed, notwithstanding the total stock of all de- scriptions is 134,000 bales less than last year and the American 83,000 less. Egyptian staples were pressed for sale at @ quarter of a penny reduction in price, Brazilian was in good demand at from a sixteenth to an eighth decline, but at the close of the week suffered from the fall in Egyptian, spinners preterring the latter at such a decline. Arrivals experienced the same depression which characterized the spot market. PRICES have slowly and steadily given way with the increasing pressure to sell, and the market closes at the lowest | prices of the week. LONDON PRODUCE MARKET. Loxpon, Jan. 15, 1876, In Mineing lane the markets for produce continue | depresee,!. Sugar has been yery dull, Deliveries pro- coed favorably, with the stock in the Kingdom under the average of three previous years at the same dato. ‘There is more inquiry for all descriptions of hops, both new and old, at full prices. Linseed oil, 24s, 8d. per owt, Spirits of turpentine, 258. per cw BRITISH CAPITAL AND LABOR. WEAVERS, COLLIERS, ENGINRERS AND IRON WORKERS IN AN INDUSTRIAL FERMENT. + Lonvor, Jan. 15, 1876. A bundred weavers of the Lower Heyes Mills, at | Macclesfield, have been locked out in consequence of 4 | disagreement between the proprietors and the Secre- | tary of the Weavers’ Union. THE COLLIERS A portion of the North Wales colliers have again struck for higher wages. It is feared that others will follow. THE IRON WORKERS AND ENGINERRS. There was a meeting yesterday at Derby of the Iron Trade Employers’ Association to consider matters con- nocted with the strike against piccework by 200 mem- bers of the Amalgamated Engineers Society at Easton & Anderson's warks at Erith, Kent, and the threatened | aggressive action of that society. It was unanimously resolved that tho Iron Trade Employers Association will resist any attempt of the men or their societies to restrict piecework in the shops of the members., It was resolved that a general lockout, recommended by the Executive Committee, should not be resorted to at present, as such lockout would throw out of em- ployment 70,000 men, and become the greatest strifo between capital and labor since 1851 and 1852. EGYPT AND ENGLAND. THE KHEDIVE SAID TO BE NEGOTIATING FOR THE SALE OF THE EGYPTIAN RAILWAYS. < Avpxanonia, Jan. 15, 1876, It ie reported that Fgypt is negotiating with English capitalists for the sale of the Egyptian railways THE EASTERN QUESTION. THE DIPLOMACY OF THE GREAT POWERS CHANGED—ADVICE TO THE PORTE, BUT NO PRESSURE, Constaytivopin, Jan. 15, 1876, The Powers bavo relinquished their intention of making a collective or rdentical communication to the Porte on the basis of Count Andrassy's scheme for ro- form in the disaffected provinces. The Ambassadors are now confining themselves to verbal and friendly communication of counsel and propositions, which the Porte is disposed te listen to, GERMANY. LEGISLATIVE OPPOSITION TO THE GOVERNMENT PLAN OF CRIMINAL LAW BREVORM—T&E RIGHTS OF THE PRESS. Loxpon, Jan. 15, 1876 The Pall Mall Gasette to-day has « special telegram from Berlin, in which It is said that the select commit- tee of the Imperial Parliament to whom the govern- ment’s proposed amendment to the criminal code was Teferred has resolved upon a direct opposition to the government and to favor a jury trial for all press offences. THE MARITIME DISASTERS INVESTIGATION, The proposed conference of the Germas maritime States im the matter of inquiries into marine disasters has been postponed for six weeks, in order to give op- portunity to investigate the English system. RAILWAY CONSOLIDATION, Owing to the opposition of some of the emalier States the government has for the present limited the scheme for purchasing all railways to Prossia alone, in which no serious dificulties are anticipated, DENMARK AND GERMANY. Lompox, Jan. 15, 1876, The Pall Mall Gasetle this afternoon has a special telegram from Copenhagen, as follows :—‘‘I am author. ized to contradict the report of the proposed sale of the island of St. Thomas, in the West Indies, to Germany, The idea was mooted, in 1873, of exchanging St, Thomas for North Sleswick, but was diswissed as im- Dracticable.”” 3 Thrones Creak.

AMERICA WITHOUT CAUSE OF CORyuAINT, No Injury to Our Commerce—None to In- jure—Trade Inereasing—All Dif- ficulties Settling. (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE, ] Mapam, Jan. 15, 1876. It has just been ascertained here that the Spanish government has issued a diplomatic note in reply to the American circular touch- ing upon Cuban affairs. NO OCCASION YOR AMERICAN INTERFERENCE, The Spanish note replies to the circular of the United States in unmistakable lan- guage, especia¥y to the proposition made by President Grant that the affairs existing in the Island of Cuba necessitate American interposition in the name of humanity and international comity. A BELLIGERENT ATTITUDE ASSUMED. In tone the reply of King Alfonso’s Cabinet is quite belligerent, and takes high ground on all of the questions raised by the American note to European Cabinets, and the impression here is that it will completely counteract the effect produced by the latter document. NO DAMAGE OCCASIONED TO AMERICAN COM- MERCE, The note declares in substance that the existing commerce between the ports of Cuba and those of the United States has not suffered to any appreciable extent by the .progress of the insurrection on the Island of Cuba. In fact, instead of the commerce be- tween Cuba and the United States having been diminished by the struggle now going) on between the insurgents and the govern ment troops, it has in reality increased and prospered, ai PROSPERITY OF THE AMERICAN CUBAN TRADE, The reply also states that this commerce is even greater to-day than it was before the insurrection broke out, and is constantly in« creasing, so that the United States govern- ment had no occasion for complaint and no tenable ground for its proposed action or in- terference in the affairs or troubles existing in Cuba, THE PAUCITY OF UNITED STATES COMMERCE. The statement is also boldly made that America has really no commerce of her own, and with very little prospect of any for some time to come, AMERICAN ENTERPRISE UNMOLESTED. Attention is also called to the fact that i many American citizens have established themselves in business on the island, and, being unmolested by the Spanish govern. ment in so doing, have gained large indi- vidual fortunes. These fortunes have not | added to the material wealth of the island, | being entirely in foreign hands. A REFUGE FOR OUTLAWS. The Spanish note farther states that the territory of the United States is the constant refuge for Cuban outlaws, who are permitted to hatch conspiracy, to the detriment and injury of the Spanish government. In thit the laws of nations are outraged. ALL CLAIMS SETTLED. Besides this, the Cabinet of Alfonso declared that all just and equitable claims between the United States and Cuba have been ami* cably and fally satisfied or are in the courts Princeteau has completed his equestrian for adjustment, Therefore there can be ne picture of Washington for the Philadelphia | cause for complaint on that score. DIGNITY OF TRE REPLY. The tone of the Spanish note is an argu M. Emile de Girardin’s “Rise and Fall of | mentative one, yet dignified, as becomes the France” appears to-day. It is looked for | occasion. It is believed to be the work o Sefior Jovellar.
