In the House of Commons this‘ evening the appro- priation fer tho purchase of the Suez Canal shares passed to a third reading. GOOD WORDS FOR DANIEL, The government wore severely attacked by Mr. Glad- stone and Mr. Lowe, of the late Cabinet, because of tho publication of the private letters of Sir Daniel Lange to EarlGranville, tho then Minister of Foreign Affairs, which were written under obviously patriotic influ- ences, and which occasioned the abrupt dismussal of Bir Daniel from his position as the representative of the English interests in the Canal Company’s direc- torate. t Mr. Gladstone declared that “the government ought to use their influence to obtain the reimstatement of Bir Daniel Lange.”’ THE FINANCIAL RELATIONS WITH EGYPT. ‘The solution of the Egyptian financial question re- ceived a serious check to-night Recent negotiations at Cairo resulted in an arrangement, of which the key- Btone was tho establishment of a National Egyptian Sank; England, Franco and Italy to be represented on the Board by one’commissioner cach. England's hesi- taney im this matter bas been the avbject of diplomatic correspondence. A SICK POINT AGAINST THE KHEDIVE, To-night in the Houso of Commons Mr. Cartwright asked what were the intentions of the government in the matter? ae Mr. Disraelt replied that England bad refused tho Khedive's request to appoint a , because such appointment would appear to involve commercial Telations between the British government and the Na- tional Egyptian Bank. Ifthe request had been for the appointment of a commissioner to collect revenues and apply them to the redemption of the debt, the request might havo been entertained. - THE GRAIN TRADE AND BREADSTUPPS SUPPLY. The Mark Lane Express, in its review of the grain trade for the past week, says March commenced with an amount of moisture greatly exceeding the average. Rain has been general throughout the country, retard- ng the operations of farmers in preparing the land and sowing and planting their spring crops. However, wet weather thus early ought not to alarm or hardly influ- ence trade, its continuance being extremely doubtful. | During the week grain transactions on the spot have | been of a languid character; purchases have only been | for present requirements. Business for forward de- livery has beon more active, and a keener disposition to operate has been apparent, buyers doubtless seeing the possibility of higher prices in the future, now that cargoes off the coast have dwindled to such a small tompass, and the depletion of granary stocks is pro- poeding steadily. _ FRANCE. PARTY CLASSIFICATION OF THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE ASSEMBLY-——-M. ROUHER DEFEATS A BONAPARTE—-THB CABINET RECONSTRUCTION NOT COMPLETED, Pants, March 6, 1876. Of the 107 elections held yesterday the results of 102 are now known, and are given as follows:— Ajaccio returns the ex-Minister M Rouber, defeating Prince Jerome Napoleon. ‘THE BONAPARTISTS. The Bonapartists include M. Jerome David in the Department of Gironde. ‘M. Maupas, Prefect of Police during the coup d'état, | was defeated at Bar-sur-Seinc, in the Department of | Aube.

The ministerial negotiations are temporarily sus- pended.

Léon Say assumos provisionally that Minwtry in dition to his own. + The reconstruction of the Cabinet will only effected when bureaus of the Chamber are finally con- stituted. The Chamber will proceed rapidly with the verification of elections, probably terminating the for- malities on Saturday. ‘THE PRESIDENCIRS OF THE PARLIAMENT, The Left intends to make M. Grévy President of the Chamber of Deputies, hoping he will display rigorous inflexibility toward the Bonapartists. The repadlican Senators have held a meeting at which it was decided to elect the Duc d’Audiffret-Pas- quer President of the Senate, and MM. Duciero, Simon and Martel Vice Presidents, and give the fourth Vice Presidency and two secretaryships to the Right. PARTY GROUPS TO BE AMALGAMATED. It was also decided at this meeting not to keep up the groups of the Left, and Left and Right Centres, but amalgamate them into a moderate conciliatory repub- lican group, calculated to attract the constitutional conservatives. The members of the Right Centre have promised to dissolve as @ group, and vote with the republicans as far as possible. MM.

His speech treated of the prosperous condition of the country, tho perfectly friendly relations with foreign States and the recent visits of the Emperors of Germany and Austria. He exprosses pride at the progress and effictency of the army and navy. THE EAST. In connection with the Bosnian insurrection, he said:—"‘I have deemed it expediont to participate in the negotiations between the great Powers with the object of aiding in the re-establishment of tranquillity in the East, and assuring the welfare of the Christian population. The Sultan received the proposals favor- ably.” The remainder of the speech treats of domestic mat- ters entirely. AUSTRIA, ENGLISH STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE TRADE OF THE EMPIRE. Marcuester, March 6, 1876. Tho Eraminer, ot this city, states that private ad. ‘vices from Pragae, announce the suspension of the firm of the Messrs, Kaufiman, large manufacturers ef linen and cotton goods, with liabilities estimated at $500,000, Trade in Austria ts reported at a complete standstill, and a disagreeable state of uncertainty prevails in com- merotal circles. TURKEY.* ‘THE INSURGENTS’ PROPOSITIONS FOR PEACE— HOPING FOR POWERFUL FRIENDS—AUSTRIA NEUTRAL, IN AID OF THE TURES. Racusa, March 6, 1876, The insurgent leaders on Sunday last informed Baron Rodich, the Governor of Dalmatia, and the Austrian Commissiover, that they would require Turkey asa condition of peaco to withdraw forty battalions of her troops from Herzegovina, and allow the insurgents, while remaining in arms, to treat with the beys. If this 1s refased the leaders of the insurgents pro- pose that Austria or some other Power effect an armed intervention. THE SULTAN DEFIANT UNDER A CHRISTIAN FRIEND'S IN- SPIRATION. Baron Rodich informed them that their conditions were inadmissible. Austria would maintain complete neutrality, strictly guard the frontier and cease to relieve the refugees at the end of March. THE DIAZ REVOLUTIONARY MOVE- MENT. Gatvestox, Texas, March 6, 1876, A special to the News says:—The reyolationists un- der Porfirio Diaz are rapidly gaming strength. Con- siderable consternation prevails among the govern- ment adherents in the towns along the Mexican border. Many families aro seeking protection on the American side at Rio Grande City, Edinbarg and Brownsville, Matamoras js considered to be the present objective point ot the Diaz forces. Although it is a strongly forti- fied city the small garrison of federal troops now there, under Cristo, is probably inadequate for its defence. Colonel Parratt, who was ordered with his command from Camargo to their assistance, arrived on the 3d, having missed or avoided Pena on tho route. THE DIAZ REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT. Contrary to expectations of the government party, Pena, aft ing Reynoza, and bis force bemg augmented by about 400 volunteers, received orders from Diaz to advance immediately on Camargo. It is reported that be bas reached Las ot cattle thieves, and the poimt at which McNall; pe unnn crossed into Mexico, whern nis force will probably be increased. Immediately on receipt of the news of the movement of Pena, Colonel Parratt left Matamoras on yesterday morning in pursuit of him and for the protection of Camargo. Government troops i have also left Monterey for that potnt, as also a small party of the rural police from Mier. Diaz remains quiet at Brownsville. He is probably waiting until the force under Pena is safticiently strong ‘bed possession of Ca- order for a foreible tax THE EDGAR STEWART.

On Friday night 1ast three horses were run off, mak- ing six in all stolen from the Arapahoe cainp, a few miles below Fort Fetterman, On the following day In- dians, believed to be Arapahoes, ran off twenty-one head belonging to citizens in the same vicinity, Yes- terday a number of citizens went in pursuit, and dor- ing last night discovered the Indian camp at Bridger's Ferry.

Peuwapenpaia, March 6, 1876. One of the serious annoyances connected with the Teception of such goods as have already arrived for the Exhibition from foreign countries bas been the Cus- tom House arrangements. Aside from the disputes between the Centennial Commission and the Apprais- er’s office as to the manner and place for the examina- tion of foreign goods—whether they should be opened | in @ special building erected for the purpose, as the Appraiser urged, or whether they should | first be opened and examined in their proper places | on the floor ofthe Exhibition buildings, as the Com- mission very strongly insisted—thore is another phase | of the matter, which is nothing more nor less than ex- tortion, Custom House brokers have been allowed to interfere in the entry; of goods and to charge high prices for their services. The foreign Commissioners have paid their bills, sbragged their shoulders and quietly made up their minds that if Custom Houso brokers were to be considered as ono of the necessary evils of the Exhibition the intend- ing exhibitors abroad should know of it, and the ffect of this knowledge on thu | other side of the Atlantic would be anything | | but favorabie to the success of our Exhibition, as may weli be imagined. This morning the Norwegian Commissioner, M, Ger- hard Gerde, complained to the Centennial authorities that tho bill which he had been compelled to pay to Custom House brokers tor the entry of the Norwegian | exhibits which have arrived was as high as $2, It was very naturally imagined that where goods came consigned to the care of the United States Centennial | Commission, direct to the Exhibition grounds, not for | sale, like ordinary merchandise, but merely for exbibi- tion and safe return to their owner alterward, common international courtesy as well as the merely | Selfish motives of all who wish success to the Exhibi- tion would dictate the prompt suppression of all such taxes upon our guests trom abroad. Other complaimts | | of the same sort have been made, and it 18 fortunate | | that the Contennial Commissioners have heeded them | atonce, Arrangemenis bave now been made by which | | the evil will be stopped.

After a choral service, the evening’s address was made by Rev. Dr, Sims, of St Paul’s Methodist Episcopal church, of Newark.

The convention will hold three sos- sious daily hereafter until Friday, when the Congress | will close. The attendance is not as large as was an- ticipated, but several large delegatiors are expected, aud eaeh train brings a number of persons who are in: terested in the event One hundred and cignty dele- gates are thus far present, Several prominent clergy- men from Boston, New York and Philadelphia aro here, and others are expected.

GALLANT CONDUCT OF THE LIFEBOAT CREW— THEY SET OUT IN A HURRICANE AND ARE DROWNED, ‘ Fortress Moxrow, Va., March 6, 1876, The following information has been received here of the wreck of the Italian bark Nuoya Ottavia, on tho North Carolina coast, on the night of March 1., It ap- pears that the vessel was in ballast, bound from Genoa | for Baltimore.

Orrawa, March 6, 1876, Mr. Domville, of Nova Scotia, called npon the govern- ment to-day, in tho Committee on Public Accounts, to explain how it was that the mails by the Allan line came to be delayed at Queenstown. He said money had been remitted by this line to meet bills of exchange forwarded three days afterward by the Cunard steamer. Yet owing to delay at Queenstown, or rather at Moville , harbor, the bills had been presented in London before | | the fands reached their destination, Mr. Cort- | wright, the Finance Minister, said, in explana- | tion, that the mail service bad to depend on | the’ ordinary trains when the Allan steamers reached Moville, After the regular train had left the | mails were detained till the following day. The atten- | tion of the imperial government would be called to the | matter, but he was afraid as the postal service of Great | Britain was not selfsustaining, some difficulty would be experienced in ay the British government to | put on a special train. It was suggested that the sub- sidy to the Messrs. Allan be reduced to provide for the | running of special mail trains on the arrival of the | | mers at Queenstown bat it was not acted item of sabsidy passed the committee. CANADIAN DAIRYMEN.

REASSEMBLING OF THE LEGISLATURE—AN ATTEMPT TO KILL THE NEW YORK PARK BILL—THE GRINDING COMMITTEE GETTING BEADY. ALBAny, March 6, 1876, The Sonate and Assembly reassembled this evening. There was vot a quorum in the lower house, and the result was that no busivess of any importance was transacted, Before it was ascertained, however that | there was no quorum, the House resolved itself into a committee of the wholo on the New York Park bill, The moment it was read Mr. Schieffelin moved to strike | out the first section, and the standing vote of this was “8 jin the affirmative to 32 in the negative,, not a quorum, Nowithstand- | ing ‘this, revelation, the chairman declared | the motion lost, when Mr, Whitson took the floor and | said he did not see why the bill shoula be pressed | when it was so evident that there was not the constitu- tional majority of sixty-five members present. It was a mere waste of time considering it at all under the circumstances, and as the New York members who were absent would undoubtedly have something to say about its merits and demerits, ho believed they should | be given au opportunity to express their views, Mr. Whitson’s pleadings were in yain, and amendments | werd deciared in order, whereupon Mr. Foster moved an amendment that the office of commissioner | the office of president should be abolished. The object of this motion was virtually to make the bill precisely what it was wben originally introduced, and to test the strength of those members who were in favor of the change made in it by the Com- | mit on Cities, on Friday, which was to retain in office missioners Martin, O'Dopohue and William- son, to extend the term of office of the latter to the Ast of May, 1877. The democrats were on the qui vi however, and declared that ifthe motion was Dressed they would force a call of the House, if no quorum voted. This rather disconcerted Forster and his friends, and so the bili was simply prog- ressed when the committee rose, THE GRINDING COMMITTER. The Sub-Committee of the Whole, commonly known as the “Grinding Committee,’’ have not as yet had any work to do, trom this out they will hare offered hands file te Fe me by Mr. Sloan, char 5 ‘Means Committee, was adopted — thet ‘ge Speaker and Clore make out a list of bills fi the general which in their opinion should 6 referred to the Berka mwa An importa |, tho object of which reduce the wharfage rates oyster boats in New York, has been introduced by Senator Prinee, in whose district man: of tho oystermen live. Tho bill seems to meet wit general favor, and will no doubt pass both houses with- out much opposition, A WORKINGMEN’S INSTITUTION. A grand lodge of workingmen is the next institutjon inorder, Mr. Caso’s bill provides for its imcorpota- ton, and the object of this Order, as stated in the bill, is to improve bere mentally, morally and socially ; to enable them to assist one another in sickness and , and, above all, to prevent strikes among all classes, CHAXGE OF POLITICAL PROSPECTS. The effect of the Belknap drsgrace on the current of State politics is asubject of some specvlation with the. politicians here. It has undoubtedly struck a severo blow at Custom House influence in* the affairs of the State and made the nomination of Mr. A. B, Cornet! for Govornor extremely doubtful. Cornell is the can- didate of the Castom bat as all federal office- holders for time —_ henceforward be looked nominations ' wul meet withvery limited favor, stances Senator Robertson's chances of the guboru torial nomination are vastly improved, In the reueral i {ecient the administration ere ee pe of carrying away a delegation {rom pledges to his Rreoee. th the National ks uucertain, and ones bed ex-Gi Ya re Morgan comes to the fromt pi cn rap ‘that what 1s called Grantism, which has all become so offensive, had one of its most ers in Sen Conkling, a fact that may cool dor in his bebaif to a considerable ext ago it was conceded Cornell had the Governor, but Custom House stock haw far it woul holders %o be unsafefto rely on the chances of the ollice- ing their candidates in the Convention. Senator John Morrissey appears to be satisfied: that unless the existing divistons in the democratic party of tho State are heated in time the State will be curried by the repubheans. “There,” said he, the other day, “is the party im New York efty split in two and up in the canal districts just the same thing m be ‘ou but comes to say, let these differences be set!

The only way out of the trouble is for the State Central Committee to call a meeting and give a bearing to all parties, and let them agree to abide by the decision of the committee.” THY MILITIA LAW. Senator Booth presented a memorial from Comp- troller Green, accompanied by a bill for the repeal of | an amendment to the Militia law, passed last year, pro- viding for an appropriation by the Board of Aldermen | for the building of an armory for the First division of | the National Guard. In his memorial the Comptroller | states that each regiment claims under this amend- ment a separate armory for itself, which would involve an expense of p Ps $10,000,000. THE QUARANTINE COMMISSION, The Sub-Committee on Commerce and Navigation, composed of Messrs. Campbell, Patten, Powers, Maher and Townsend, had a meeting this evening to consider the bill abolishing the Quarantine Commission, ‘nak- ing it self-supporting, and giving thé sole control to the Health Officer, Dr. Vanderpocl. Tom Alvord appeared before the ‘committee and said, in effect, that he represented Dr. Vanderpoel,” and was n- structed by him to say to the committee that the Doctor would take the contract to perform all the business of Quarantine, run boats, &c., for $15,000 a year. For the past twy years, Dr. Vanderpoel iniormed him, the tees of the Health OMcer were $45,000 a year, The boat Hopkins had not been used except for pleasure excursions and the like, and no méney had been derived from For bis (Mr. Alvord’s) own part he would recommend that the commtasion be abolished, and all the duties devolve on tne Health Officer, with the Presidents of the Shipowners’ As- sociation and the Boara of Health, as a suvervisory committee, to audit accounts and sec that the property of the State was kept in order. As the State paid $65,000 Jast year for support of Quarantine, the Health: Officer's Proposition would effect a considerablo saving. He wished to say that Dr, Vanderpoel did not arge this idea, and the main reason why ho did not appear before the contact with the Quarantine officers. THE ERIE RAILWAY. The bill to reorganize the Erie Railway was up for discussion in Committee of the Whole of the Senate, Senator Morris expressed bis doubts as to the charac- ter of the bill. He read a list of figures, already pub- | lisned in the Hrkaup, showing the | increase | from year to year of the capital stock of | the Erie Railway when in the hands of | j Fisk and Gould, and called attention to the fact that | the enormous load of debt contracted by these people, | and entirely swamping the road, was possible only | here in Albany. He warned the Senate against granting special privilege | the | on any stage, AMUSEMENTS, Pa eM ENGLISH OPERA. The Academy of Music was crowded to its fullest extent on the occasion of the performance of Meyer- beer’s opera “1, was given in unexceptiouable form. On February 16, 1854, according to the best authorities, the opera was given forthe first time io Paris, with Mie. Caroline We heard ita season or two | Duprez as the Catarina, aiter in London, with Sophie Cruvelii in the same ride. ‘The performance last evening was something to be re membered, Miss Kellogy, who last sang tt on the | Italian stage in this city at a time when a French critic thinks that 1t was first produced even in Europe, then created a furore in tBhe leading role, Last night she was admirable in every sense of the word. The r > of Catarina 18 a very peculiar one. Its dramatic and vocal demands are excessive on auy artist, the first to the last noto, Miss Kellogg proved herself entirel@equal to the arduous task she bad undertaken. | A clear, birdlike, yet sympathetic and oxpressiouavio voice; ‘acting that was in accord with tho highest histrionic standards, and a stage presence more than ordinarily attractive-—such were the char- acteristics of Miss Kellogg’s impersonation leading — rie, The other roles were suceessinlly undertaken, Especially may be men- tioned the spark Seguin, tho best English contralto on the stage to-day, and Miss Lancaster, a very clever artist. Mr, Maas was a very succeasful Danilwimtz; Mr. Conty’s fine bass | Yotce was beard to advantage im tho rule of Peter, and Harry Peakes drilled bis soldiers according to Hoyle (and he has a benefit to-night, showing that he isa popular actor and a superb singer). But the principal feature of the performauce was Miss Clara Louise Kellogg. “BEN ISRAEL” AT THE GRAND OPERA UOUSE. Tho new Jewish play of “Ben Israel" was produced at the Grand Opera House last night for the first time The author, Mr. Edward W. Tullidge, has chose: ‘heme which is in itself dramatic, and has in the hands of Sbakespeareg ant Mosenthal proved a perennial attraction. . The Jew, as persecuted by tho Christian, appeals to the magnanimity and the justice of the world. Mr. Tullidge repeats the old effects with Much power, Ben Israel 1s the descendant of the royal race of Judah, and his granddaughter, Rachel, is the sole surviving roprescotative of a hundred generations. loves a Chri bata by Israel, Wao wit pee m i eof David perish. , These several wy old ‘accu jover of in | e effect bt of offer of ‘cing Charles to aid in his escape trom ison, holding that he cannot honorably fly Pith bis imnocence is established. The plot into which these characters and feelings are woven 1s slight. The y is well written, and is to a great extent in blank versa, It reminds one of The Merchant of Venice,” of Bul- wor's “Richetiou’’ and of “Leah,” but the author is not adiroct imitator of these works, and deserves | much credit for his iutelligent and forcible production.
