[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Banta, March 29, 1876. The steamer Hevelius, with the Emperor and Em- press of Brazil on board, anchored safely in the grand, island-studded Bahta de Todos os Santos at six A. M. to-day, three days out from Rio Janeiro. DOM PEDRO’S HEALTH. His Majesty the Emperor was slightly unwell on the first day of the voyage, but the unpleasant symp- totas soon passed away. THE EMPEROR'S PLANS. In the course of the trip the HfraLp correspondent had an opportunity of learning from the Emperor what His Majesty's plans are for his journey. IN THE UNITED STATES. It is His Majesty’s purpose to remain three months in the United States, and he will proceed to California before attending the Philadelphia Ex- hibition. IN EUROPE. His Majesty will extend his European tour t) Bussia, whence he will visit Asia Minor and Pales- tine. AN ADMIREB OF THE UNITED STATES. His Majesty is anxious to meet illustrious Ameri- cans, but desirous of avoiding public receptions. This desire to avoid public occasions His Majesty does not intend shall debar him from accepting invitations from society. A TRANSLATOR OF OUR POETS. As instancing his Majesty’s keen appreciation of things American, I may say that he has translated several of the poems of Longfellow and Whittier into Portuguese. . He has said many things complimentary of the en- terprise of the New York HERALD. * ARRIVAL. ‘The Hynelius will arrive in New York on the 20th of April. * ‘THE EMPRESS. Her Majesty, the Empress Theresa, will remain in the East during the Emperor's journey through the United States. QUARANTIXE. The Imperial party will not land here in conse- quence of the state of quarantine which has been proclaimed here owing to the prevalence of yellow fever in the city of Bahia. HONOBS FROM THE BABIANS. As soon as the Hevelius dropped anchor a number of steamers, with military bands on board, came out to meet the Emperor. The authorities came offin a barge, and innumer- able boats containing gayly dressed citizens soon swarmed around. UPHOLDING THE LAW. A royal barge was brought to bring the Emperor ashore, but His Majesty refused to infringe the law which forbids communication between the shipping and the city to ordinary subjects or the citizens of other nations. AWAY FOR PERNAMBUCO. The Hevelius sailed for Pernambuco at five o'clock in the evening. THE CITY OF BAHTA. [The city of Bahia, or San Salvador, the capital of the Province of Bahia in the Empire of Brazil, is also the chief town of a district of the same name.

The English company, !f not already equally ad- vanced, doubtless soon will be, and the experiments will be in active progress before long. AMERICAN BRAVERY AXD HUMANITY, The Times this morning has an editorial articlo on the subject of the adventures of the survivors of the emigrant ship Strathmore, which concludes as fol- lows :— “Tho vessel which at length arrived to rescue them was an American whaler, on her course to the South Sea fisheries, Her captain, we are told, gave up the chance of the season’s profits for the sake of the poor creatures he found at the Crozets, and who needed an amount of care they could not havo received ifhe had taken them with him. We are sure the English nation will judge as it deserves of the sacrifice to which Cap- tain Gifford submitted, and will not fail to do honor, and something more than bare honor, to the deed and tothe man.” A PANIC—EGYPTIANS AND FOREIGNS FLAT AT THE CLOSE. Loxpos, March, 20—Evening. At the Stock Exchange during the last hour this evening foreign securities were extremely flat, but the most important feature has been the panic in the Egyp- tian bonds. which have fallen 434. This imparted a bad offect to the market gonerally. ‘The panic in Egyptians is owing toa variety of ad verse reports, including one to tho effect that a finan; cial panic prevails in Egypt, and another that heavy selling orders have been received from Alexandria.

THE BRITISH RIFLEMEN. TRELAND ABOUT TO SELECT A TEAM TO CON- TEST IN AMERICA. Loxpox, March 30, 1876, Ata meeting of the Irish Rifle Association yesterday rules were adopted regulating the preliminary contests for the selection of a team to go to Philadelphia.

Paris, March 29, 1876. It is stated that representatives of England and France will shortly meet to negotiate a new commercial treaty. THR ASSEMBLY EXCITED OVER A CONTESTED ELECTION CASE—THE DANGERS WHICH WOULD RESULT FROM AMNESTY—IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE GOVERNMENT. Versai.tes, March 29, 1865, The Chamber of Deputies to-day indulged in o heated debate concerning the validity of the election of M. Poujade, republican, from the arrondissement of Carpentras, Department of Vancluse. M. Boyer, legitimist, urged that the election be an- nulled. The members of the Left interrupted and protested, M. Boyer thereupon quitted the house. Subsequently, when a vote was about to take place, the Bonapartists and legitimists, cpon a sign from the Duke de la Rochefoucauld Bissacia, a legitimist mem. ber from the arrondissement of Mamers, in the Depart- mont of Sarthe, quitted the house in a body, M. Grevy, the President of the Chamber, protested, d stated that systematic absentation was punishable, M. Poujade’s;election was then confirmed, SERIOUS VIEWS OF TIF QUESTION OP AMNESTY. Messrs. Ricerd and Dufwure to-day gave evidence before the Senate’s committee on the amnesty pro- posals, They pointed to documents showing that the majority of the convicts persist in considering them- selves political martyrs, and felt no regret for their crimes. The return of such men to society would con- stitute a positive peril, The sentiments evinced in pamphiets, journals and speeches by refugees abroad also showed that they, if permitted to return to France, would bring back sentiments of hatred even more vehement than were displayed during the Com- mune and the intention of accomphsbing so-called necessary reparation, Therefore it was absolutely impossible to think of | either partial or general athnesty in favor of such per- sons. The government, however, wished Jargeiy to exorcise clemency toward those who desired to live peaceably, and would take measures to bring about the extensive exercise of President MacMahon’s right to pardon immediately upon the rejection of the amnesty motions. ' 4H SENATORIAL PLAN FOR A TRIENNIAL’ IN- | FUSION OF NEW MEMBERS. Lospoxs, Maren 30, 1876.

Lowpox, March 29, 1876.

Therefore it is probaple that the public convenience will necessitate the Czarewitch exercising the functions of the Emperor during bis absence."’ THE REGENCY AND THE RELATIONS TO GERMANY, The Times this morning has a special telegram from Berlin containing the following :— “The prospect of a regency in Russia excites much speculation here concerning its probablo relations be- tween Russia and Germany, because of the anti-German tendencies of the Czarewitch.”” THE DIPLOMATIC REPRESENTATION IN VIENNA. Vinsxa, March 29, 1876, The story of the resignation of M. Novikoff, the Russian Minister at this court, in consequence of a misunderstanding with Count Andrassy, recently given currency to by a special telegram to the London Times, is declared to be devoid ot foundation.

ST. PETERSBURG POLICY—-RUSSIAN VIEWS OF THE ‘‘SICK MAN’S” SITUATION. Loxpox, March 29, 1876, The Times, in its second edition this afternoon, has a Berlin special containing the following:— The Russian press is gradually withdrawing trom the conservative position assumed at the beginning of the rebellion in Herzegovina. Neither the necessity of keeping Turkey intact nor the expediency of Russia acting conjointly with Austria is longer insisted upon. WHAT THE MUSCOVITES RECOMMEND, The official Invalide Russe, on the contrary, at- tributes the dangerous position of the insurgents to Austria’s partiality for Turkey, forgetting entirely that Austria's proceedings have been so long supported by Russia, The Moscow Gazette, which is always well informed in foreign matters, has suddenly changed its tone. It proposes that the Turkish troops be withdrawn from Herzegovina, and the province either ceded to or placed under the administration of the Prince vf Mon- tenegro, who in return might be induced to recognize the Sultan as his suzerain. LOGIC OF FACTS. This suggestion is put forward because the Garette thinks that all hope of carrying out the reform pro- gramme must be abandoned while there are Turkish troops in Herzegovina to encourage Mahommedan fanaticism, and while the Porte is penniless and im- potent to do anything effectual, without mentioning Austria’s well known opposition to any such plans, The Gazette concludes by inviting England to co- operate with Russia for this purpose. A LAST CHANCE FOR REFUGEES TO RETURN. RaGusa, March 29, 1876, ‘The Turkish Pacification Commissioner has issued a proclamation granting all refugees a month to return to their homes, after which the property of tho ab- | sentces will bo confiscated. THE CZAR'S ADVICE TO THE PRINCE OF SERVIA— THE POLICY OF WAITING PATIENTLY. Viexxa, March 29, 1876, The Tagblatt, of this city, says that after tho Aus- trian representative had informed Prince Milan of Sorvia that if he declared war against Turkey Austria would becompelled to occupy Servia, Prince Milan | wrote to the Emperor of Ryssia asking for patornal | advice in the matter. The Czar replied that if the Eastern questions were stillsolvable withouta great conflict he hoped Prince Milan would avoid anything tending to disturb the peace of Europe. If, howeter, further complications arose, Servia would lose nothing by having waited. In consequence of this letter Servia gave pacific as- surances, THE AUSTRO-TURKISH PEACE NEGOTIATIONS TERMINATED. Bentix, March 30, 1876, A special despatch from Ragusa to the Prussian Cross Gazette roports that Baron Rodich, the Austrian Peaco Commissioner, has broken off negotiations with the Torkish officials, SOLEMN APPEAL FROM THE BOSNIANS TO THE GREAT EMPERORS.

Great Alarm and Excitement in Worcester. THE LYNDEBROOK RESERVOIR BURST. A Terrible Disaster Considered To Be Inevitable. Worcesrur, Mass, March 29, 1876. About eight o'clock to-night the alarm was given through the valley that the dam of the Lyndebrook reservoir, which supplies this city with water, was giving way, The work of clearing eut tho dweiling houses and mills throughout the valley was at once begun and the excitement was very great. Tho water in the outlet of the reservoir, two miles below, soon began to rise and assume a dark, muddy color,” At the dam efforts were being made to avert tho threateming danger, but nothing effectually could be done, and from eight o’ciock until niae the danger increased, the water ponring in torrents through the stone gatehou An entrance was forced to the gate- house, but the waste gate ovuld not be opened, it being clogged with stones and gravel, and the iron rods with which it is worked being bent. NO SIGNS OF WEAKNESS. ‘The break is in the archway, about sixty feet long, running under the entire dam, and about twenty feet from the water face, The water has forced its way up through the bottom of the arch and is pouring outof the gatehouse in a stream four feet wide and three feet deep. Below the gatehouse the water has washed out the earth for a distance of Dity fect by twenty in width, whore the dam ends and the water finds its way into tho waste way. At the water face of the archway the masonry shows uo signs of weak- ness and the water is working its way under it for back in the pond.

Tho reservoir covers 140 acres, and stores 670,000,000 gallons of weter. It is hoped that the water will run off gradually, and that the break will not increase. A TERRIBLE DISASTER CERTAIN.

The gulf is widening, and the dam is ‘not expected to hold together until sunrise. The water, running through the arch is black ‘and muddy, and all hopes of preventing a terriblo disaster are now abandoned, The fire hydrants and water pipes in the city are being opened to draw off as much of the water as possible, THE BREAK ENLARGING, The break is enlarging rapidly.

TRIAL OF ‘and em- to carry my State office as articlos course, L under the integrit hostile logisiat March 29, 1876, A MINE BOSS DERER. MUR- EDWARD KELLY'S TRIAL COMMENCED—FIVE JURORS OBTAINED—THE TRIAL LIKELY TO CONTINUE FOR A WEEK. Maven Cucnk, Pa., March 29, 1876, The dilatory motions made yesterday in the case of Fdward Kelly, one of the alleged murderers of Mino o-s John P. Jones, were considered at the opening of the court this morning. The petition of the prisoner sets forth that, from the undue excitement existing in this community and the prejudices created in tha public mind by the publication of the testimony in the trial of Doyle, he has reason to believe that the fair and impartial hearing of his cause, guaranteed to him by the laws of the country, cannot be accorded to him, and he therefore prays for a change of venue. In arguing the motion for a change ot venue Mr. Kalbfus incidentally made known the fact that a band of min- ute men had been formed in Mauch Chunk, aad he ad- duced from the organization of such a body that an over- wholming public sentiment existed in the community against his chent, and he believed that it was imposs+ bie4o have a fair trial in Carbon county under such aq extraordinary condition of things. Keliy also alleged in bis petition that a powerful corporation—the Le- high and Wilkesbarre Coal Company—was exerting itt nfluence against him, and he believed that it bas veea necessary 10 have the priscn in which he 1s incarcers atea guarded night and day to protect him from ap- prehended violence at the hands of the populace, Mr. Hughes, on the part of the Commonwealth, op- posed the motion fora ehange of venne, aud, alter a briet deliberation by the Court, the rule asked for by the counsel for the defence was denied. The defence then moved to quash the array of jurors on the ground of intormality on the part of the Jury ssioners, but this motion was also overruled oy ure. A struggle in the formation of a jury commenced in earnest this afternoon, and much time was consumed by counsel in discussing the competency of the parties called upon to act as jurors. Fair progress was mad however, and prospect 18 favorable for the tria: commence Friday. Out of nineteen names called, five jurors were secured at tbe adjournment of the Court. ‘The court room has been densely crowded all day, and the interest in the case seems to be growing more ‘and more intense as developments are made as to the line of deience. Kelly, the aceused, is a mere lad in appearance, He ts about twenty yeurs of age, but bears a very hard reputation in the communities where be has resided, His aged mother was in court this afternoon an¢é seemed completely bowed down with grief and weight of years. Kelly's fate will soon be decided, and unt the verdict of the jury is rendered few of no mort items of public interest connected with the trial wil be furnished by the progress of the examination, bat no abatement in the popular excitement is to be antl cipated. The end may be reachod by the latter part a next week. HOTEL ARRIVALS. Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, arrived last cven- ingatthe Fifth Avenue Hotel, William D.
