Abandons His Old Theories and Votes Against Woman Suffrage. Events on the Turf—The Financial Situa- tion—Music and the Drama—Polo and Coaching. (semctat pzsparcH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) Lonpox, April 29, 1876, ‘The royai prociamation in the Gazette, in accord- ance with the instructions of the government, an- mouncing the assumption of the title of Empress of India by Queen Victoria, was generally made known this morning, and widely and acrimoniously com- mented upon. ‘The Nimes has a long editorial on the subject replete with lamentations, and though the Lord Chancellor has given an assurance that the ‘Rew title will not be used in Enytand, this journal Adjutes its contemporaries to set thetr faces against the attempted imperial innovation. PUBLIC INDIGNATION. ' Epithets of a doubtful character in public gather- tga, and even in private intercourse, are employed (mgenanciation Of the title, THE LIDERALS YIRLDING. ‘The liberal press recognizes the hopelesaness of Maintaining further resistance, however, and is Yielding, like Mrs. Partington, to the overwhelming superiority of the ocean. TORY CONGRATULATION. Mr. Disraeli’s friends evidently believe he has achieved a great victory in securing Her Majesty’s immediate assent to his Oriental programme, for the royal signature to this bill is interpreted by many as an evidence of the acceptance of the Prem- ler’s Eastern policy. Acting under the influences Of leading tories in the provinces, the conservative societies are literally pouring in addresses to Wind- vor Castle, congratulating Ner Majesty on ber as- sumption of this title, which is to give her greater ‘popularity with her subjects in Lindostan, and add additional éclat and glory to her reign. THE PRINCE OF WALES. ‘These faithful political organizations, having an eye to the future, also express their great pleasure ‘at the aafe return of the Prince of Wales. O'MEAGHER CONDON. Regarding the liberation of O’Meagher Condon, mow serving a sentence for offences committed against the English. goveryment during the last Fenian éxcitement, the Pall Mall Gazette says that ‘She Congressional resolution asking for the active mediation of the United States was nothing but a party'st¥ategem, but that if the administration at ‘Washington establishes its demand for his release dm accordance with international law England will not be vexed at the success. — WINSLOW'S CASE IN LONDON. J understand that Winslow will be released on the \d of May, unless the United States concede the point demanded in the diplomatic correspondence which this individual has occasioned—a point which probably means the abrogation of existing treaties and the formulating of a new one to meet present tad growing emergencies. OPENING OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY. The prominent event of the week was the private opening of the Royal Academy. The works ex- hibited present no striking feature and are more mediocre than usual. The public opening is an- nounced for Monday, When we shall doubtless be treated to columns of fulsome criticism according to the rule of every previous season. MURDER SENSATIONS, Murders and kindred horrors continue to excite and edify the public. The Sunday papers find an im- mense harvest in these dreadful matters. Indeed, these journals contain little else besides Court scan- dais and criminal trials, which are tastefully dished up for the British workingman. : THE BLACKBURN APFAIR, ‘The Blackburn bloodhound ts being exhibited for ‘the benefit of the Fish family. JOHN BRIGHT AND FEMALE SUFFRAGE. John Bright, like many other noted men who have occupied seats in St. Stephen’s, has publicly ex- pressed a change of opinion. On the question of woman suffrage he has completely abandoned his dormer position, which he held and defined in Par- lament in deference to the views of John Stuart ‘Mill. He has now voted against a measure which favored giving the franchise to females, much to the disgust of his brother Jacob, who was an advanced supporter of the theories of Mill. THE GERMAN POLO) MATCH “OFF.” ‘The Berlin polo match has apparently been aban- fioned. “Red tape” is on its dignity. As I under- stand, the Duke of Cambridge has positively refused to give his consent, and “of course” without this the Officers could not and would not think of going ‘to Germany. A MATRIMONIAL REPORT CORRECTED. ‘The report that Miss Kate Dickinson, who was in- sulted by Colonel Baker, was married on Thursday last to Lord Howard de Walden, proves to be false. The noble Lord really married Miss Blanche Holden, #0 that the now celebrated Kate is still eligible. * ANOTHER AMERICAN ACTRESS IN LONDON. Mins Mary Kemble, or Kate Field, as she is known to her friends in New Yor, made her first appear- auce on the London stage on Thursday last at the Gaiety Theatre. She assumed the role of Volaite in “Honeymoon,” Genevieve Ward taking the part of Juliana. As her début was entirely unannounced and unheralded she must be said to have won a complete success, PRESS COMMENTS ON HER ACTING. Speaking of her first acting the Atheneum says:— “This actress showed much intelligence and vivac- Ity, and her performance evinced a genuine feeling for comedy.” The Globe says:—“There were some traces of nervousness, but her impersonation was bright, animated and intelligent.” Other papers say she played with arch unexaggeration and vi- vacity, and looked the part to life, Our opinion is aii this and more. She brings to the Rnglish stage NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL 30, 1876—QUADRUPLE SHEET. fost those intefiectnal qualities which are now 80 much needed. , STILL ANOTHRE DEBUTANTE IN OPERA.

Sir Charles Rushout claims the stakes. He has served writs on Bir Jolin Astley and Mr. Chaplin, stewards of the course, with the view of testing the matter in court, - MONEY MARKET SENSATIONS. Among financial items may be mentioned the fact that the proclamation of the Queen's new title of is not to be stamped on the coins of the realm un- leas it 18 so determined ata future time. LITIGATION IN PROSPECT. From the legal doubts which were raised during the recent debates in Parliament on the point whether the new title could be thus limited, it re- mains to be scen what an amount of litigation will now occur. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. Money is abundant. Good bills are in great de- mand, but scarce. I cammot report any indications .of revived confidence of activity in trade. Specu- lative and non-speculative stocks still divide the Stock Exchange into two camps, the forces moving in opposite directions. INPLUENOB OF THE RASTERN QUESTION. Doubtful stocks continue unsettled. The political anxiety which prevails with regard to the Eastern question remains as @ grave influencing power on “foreigners,” although there is less alarm on ’Change owing to the reputed accord of the three great Powers for the ultimate adjustment of the Turco- Herzegovina difficulty. REVIEW OF THE WEEK. On the whole the week shows @ general recovery of tone, especially in Russian, Hungarian and Danu- Dian securities, _ * There were five failures during the week, mostly of specoiators “fora rise,” and ndne of them of great importance. AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. American governments were uniformly in de- mand. They show a great rise, especially in ten- forties, Americans make one of the few securities which are not included in the general distrust.

English railway securities have been ex. cited, with numerous and marked fluctuations, The forced closing of the accounts of tour bankrupt brokers has occasioned a serious decline in some stocks, The traffic returns were almost all very disappointing and the week's operations show a general and important fall, CARADIAXS Canadian issues are heavy at an important redaction. FoRRIGN. Im the market for foreign securities there has been an almost general advance in prices. Spanish, however, have declined 1 to 234, owing to the budget proposals being unfavorably regarded. Some Egyptian issues and Mexican are slightly lower. South Americans show a most decided improvement. Austrian, Hungarian and Russian havo been in good demand.

BAD FOR THE CHIVALRY. Another densation is on the tapis, which sadly Teflects on the supporters of our ancient chivalry. It is now suspected that the reason our young heroes take offence 30 readily and appeal to the sword and pistol for satisfaction is because all French dueilists wear armor which is bullet proof, RUSSIA AND THE EASTERN TROUBLES. Trustworthy information from St. Petersburg shows conclusively that Russia is quietly settling the Eastern question in her own way. SPANISH FINANCES. Spain is again visible on the bourses, and is trying every possible expedient for the liquidation of her enormous debt. THE BOYPTIAN DEBT. ‘The unification of the Egyptian debt is now con- sidered probable. A LULL IN POLITICS. Old world politics are generally quiescent, the diplomatic horizon to-day being somewhat clearer than for some time past. THE THEATRES LAST WERK. ‘The theatres are gradually easing off preparatory to the summer closing. The novelties, so-called, of the past week were nothing but rehashes of old pieces, and were readily recognized by hubitués, Of this class there were “La Boulangére a des Ecus” at the Varieties; “La Bergere des Alpes” at the Theatre Historique, “La Berline de )’Emigre” at the Ambigu Comique. COMING SPRCIALTIES. Next week “Les Mirlitons” will succeed “Cano- tiers de la Seine Cirque” at the Folies Dramatiques, and open air concerts will comménce in the Champs Elysées. THE OPERA OF “DIMITRL” Tne Gaieté-Lyrique will open shortly with Fon- ciere’s new.opera, “Dimitri.” This was formerly the Theatre Lyrique. A GREAT OPERATIC SUCCESS. ‘The receipts for the first three nights of the representation of Alda, Verdi conducting, was $10,754. GOUNOD'S NEW “LIBERTY HYMN” A PAILURE. Gounod’s new “Idberty Hymn,” at the Franco- American soirée at the Grand Opera House, ls pro- nounced by eminent musicians to have been a com- plete failure. “Hail Columbia” was literall®#mas- sacred by the renowned Opera House orchestra, through the blunders of the scorer, it is said. MINNIE HAUCK. Minnie Hauck is now in this city, en rowts to the United States. HENRY STANFIELD. Henry Stanfield, the Amencan tener, made a successful début at the Teatro Pergula in Florence. AMERICAN AUTHORS. The work entitled “L’Histoire des Literateurs Etrangers” has just been published, and contains several interesting notices of American authors, soy OPENING OF THE SALON, The art world will have something useful to talk of next week. The Salon opens on Monday, May 1, and the works on exhibition possess unusual in- terest. GREAT PAINTINGS. There are two colossal works which cover the sides of their room, one being Constant’s “Entrance of Mahomet into Cairo;” the other, Doré’s “En- trance of Christ into Jerusalem.” ‘ TWEED AGAIN. An old New Yorker affirms that he saw your great and much sought for “Baron’ Tweed here on Wednesday inst. Whether we have had the august personage for whom the Sheriff of the Empire City has offered 80 goodly a sum I anrunable to say, but if he really was here it was “positively his last ap- pearance,” for he has been most anxiously but vainly looked for since. ‘WESTON IN PARIS. ‘Weston, the New York pedestrian, is expected here in a few days, and will probably treat the Pa- risians to an exhibition of his “walkiat” ability. DRATH IN ROME. Fever is making sad havoc among the Americans in Rome. During the past week nine dead bodies (of our citizens) were sent to Leghorn to await transportation to the United States. The excava- tions now being carried on at the Campus are said to be the cause of the sickneas. PEDESTRIANISM.

Gilmore’s Garden opens on May 11 with an orchestra of 100 musicians led by Offenbach. The first appear- ance of this celebrated composer, a man who has con- tributed so much to the entertainment of the musica: pubhe, must prove an occasion of extraordiyary attrac, tion.

The Park Theatre should be filled on this oceaston, for certainly of all the original comedies brought out this season “Braga” is by far the most successful and the best, “pondon Assurance” has made a decided hit at Wal- lack’s, The house is crowded nightly. Even four years ago, when Charies Mathews was the leading at- traction, the comedy was not as suceessfal, Then Mr. Mathews played Dazzle, but now Mr. Wallack appears in the same character and need not be apprehensive of the result of the most candid comparison. Boucicault’s beat comedy is likely to ran Ull the lst of June, when the regular season at this theatre ends “Standing room only” has been the disagreeable notice to late visitors all of last week. Mr. Josh Hart at hia pretty Ragle Theatre is realizing the idea of vaudeville better thin it was ever before | pealized in this city.

MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL AMATEUR ROWING ASSOCIA- TION. * The Executive Committee of the National Amateur Rowing Association met last night atthe Knickerbocker Cottage, on Stxth avenue, The following members were present:—Chairman, A. F. Dexter, Narragansett Boat Club; E. R. .Cratt, Argonauta Rowing Associa- tlon; Marcellus Bailey, Anulostan “Boat Club; G. W. Parker, Quaker City Boat Club; Alexander Krumbhaar, Philadelphia Barge Club, John K. Kustis, Atlanta Boat Club, and H. W. Garfield, of Albany, secretary, After reading tho minutes of the previous meeting the re- ports of committees were in order, ‘The report on Randall, of the Potomacs, was heard, and, on motion, the committee were given power to continue the examination and report at the next meer ing. The report on Mr. Gannon showed that he admitted reociving $8 The crew he was training said that they had each paid $1 50 a weekefor some two or three weeks. On motion it was resolved that there was not sufficient evidence to justify the reopening of Mr, Gannon’s case, and, therefore, he will still remain dis- qualitied. Mr. Garfield and Mr, Eustes made some remarks about the difficalties of communicating with the Sara- toga Association, and then on motion it was resolved to hear any propositions they might have to rake. A gentleman representing the Rowing As- sociation then stated:—The affairs of the Saratoga Rowing Association are in the hands of a committee of seven. Mr, Gartiela’s letter to Mr. Conklin was only received last night, as Mr. Conklin has been absent. We are quite inclined to give over to you the regatta on Saratoga Lake, but yet ire DOt quite positive that we can ourselves omit the regatta with losing all interest in the Challenge Cups now held by gentlemen who have won them in previous regattas, The Associa- tion also feel that it would not be to the interests of Saratoga to hold # regatta about the middie of = Adgust. The objections are, that at that season Saratoga woukd be so full that there would not be accommodation for the extracrowd. The association oflered the use of their grand stand and buildings, and everything on the Jake that belonged to them, Mr. Craft then said the proposition to bold the regatta in the early part of August was with a view to harmonize the rowing during the season, and bring each regatta at such dates that they would not inter- tere with each other, Mr. Garfield then spoke of the poor chances of get- ting crews to Saratoga, and said that tm case the weather should be unfavorable it would interfere with the regatta at Philadel After some further secret session, and When the press were readmitted Mr, Dexter stated that in the opinion of the committee it was deemed inadvisable’to hoki any regatta this year except that at Philadelphia. : The case of Wilson, of “pate song was then taken up, and Mr. O’Neil’s affidavit that Wilson bad pulled io the Gramercy crew for pay was, on motion, referred to the captain of the Gramercy Ciub for veri- fication, On motion of Mr, Parker the case of Riley, of the Neptu: was reopened, and it was resolved that Riley was disqualified as an eur, Mr. Gi id ptated Mr. Courtney was anxious to ail im the professional race at the Centennial regatta lor honor if the committee could frame any law that would absolve him trom the penalty of rowing against professionals, No action was taken, as the commit- toe could not break their present rules for any indi- vidual interest. + Mr. Crait then gave notice he would offer the fol- lowing amendment to section 2 at the next meeting:— “Any committee of this association having power to Investigate (he status of aie 9 enterea te their Tegattas may require any club making an entry to cause their president or secretary to ‘dodiee ‘Spon bes honor ia baader | that he believes the oarsman so en. tered is qualil tion of an amateur; that he has been a member of said club for three months ete to tho date of said Tegatta, and has not within that period entered or rowed in any regatta or race as a member of any other club (competition between members of the game club being excepted).

NEW YORK BILLS DISPOSED OF. Bradley’s “Beading Through” Game Kuocked in the Head. A PINE PONT ON A MOTION 10 ADJOURN Aupany, April 29, 1876. The Lower House did a rushing business to-day, Bradley's Uttle game—to compel the reading through ofevery bill befors it should be placed upon its final passago—was knocked im the head early in the morning session, and the third reading of bills was proceeded with rapidly, The way Bradley came to griof was in this wise:—The Clerk, in reading a cortain bill, read but the first and last section. Of course, after reading the enacting clause, Bradley was on his feet in an in- stant, He demanded that the bill be read through, ‘The Speaker replied that the only official infofmation he had about the reading ofthe bill was the feading given to it by the Clerk, A roar of laughter ffom alf parte of the Houso greeted thia ruling, and the bill was at once put on ils final passage, Bradley, discom(ted, sat down, exclaiming that his rigats as a member wi not properly acknowledged. It may be said that jus® before this little episode a bill, introduced by Bradley, authorizing the Kings County Board of Supervisors to Taise by tax $16,000 to pay a deficiency in the county appropriation for the outdoor poor was passed before any one had become aware that it was one of Bradley's pet measures. ‘How they would have jumped upon that bill,” said the dew lighted Brovklynite, as tho vote was announced dew claring it passed, ‘had they only known that it waq mine!’? Bradley was probably right, and it is highly probable also that had the Clerk in his hurry no® skipped over one of the sections, despite Bradley's watchfulness, the bill would not have been passed at all, ag there are some people in Brooklyn who think that the Charity Commissionors are allowed large enough appropriations every year to make deficiencies: Tather conspicuous, AN OLD OLAIM LAID LOW. Quite a breeze was raised in the Assembly over the billi—introduced in the carly partof February—tor the relief of John Hogan, It seems that, when Tweed was Commissioner of Public Works he authorized Hogan ta doliver a certain quantity of stone tor the building of @ bridge at Kingsbridge. 1t was afterwara discovered that the commission had no right to make the cone tract, and the city refused to take the stone, The bill was a peculiar one. It provided, among other things, that if Hogan could prove that the stong was actually delivered, that fact should be suflicient t¢ give him a good claim on the city, The bill failed ;te get the necessary number of votes in the Assembly when it came up first on its Gnul passage, and to-day discussion was started on it by a motion made by Mr. Whitson, to reconsider the vote by which the bill ‘was lost, The motion was advocated by Whitson, Fallon, McGroarty and Lyon, aud opposéd by Forster Fish, Englehart and Peabody. It was finally lost by @ vote of 45 to 52. WARDEN TRACY'S DOUCKURS. By a vote of 68 to 35 the Patten bill providing for the ‘payment of expenses incurred for the support and maintenance of persons confined in the County Jail in 1872 and 1873’ was passed. The Compiroller 1# empowered by the bill to pay the claims after they shall have been allowed and certified by the Auditor of Accounts in the Finance Department, The claim, it underetood, amounts to about $7,000, A NEW YORK HILL'S SUDDEN PATR, Some time ayo the vill itrodacea by Mr. Fish in ree lation to opening streets, avenues, roads and publie parks in the city of New York was laid aside at the re- Mr. King for amendm It came up to-day defeated, much to the rise of the New York members, the democrats espgciully, who were opposed to it. ‘The bill provided jor@he Appointment by any judge of the Supreme Court on the application of the Board of Street Openings three “discreet, dis- interested and competent’ curamissiovers of estimate and ugsessment to perform the ‘lulics prescribed by isting Jaws and ordinances, or which might bave beet pussed alter it had‘ecome a law. TAXES AND ASHESSMENTS., Tho Senate bill relative to the eqnalization and cow rection of assessments passed the Agsembly by a votd of 84 to 2. KERLED OVER. The Albany charter came up in its regular order the House in the shape in which {t was passed by Senate, but, only receiving 46 votes, was declared lost: BAGGAGE OR HAsH—WHick? The Senate vill passed in the Assembly: to-day rela- tive to boarding house keepers is not the alarming measure some persons had an idea it would be mado before being finally passed by tue lower house. It is @ very simple amendment to the law of 1860. While tt gives boarding house keepers the same tho right to detain the baggage and eof any boarder to the same extent and in the same man- provides by am amendment that nothing in tne act sball bo deemed to givotoany bourding house keeper auy Hen upon a Tight to detain any property ‘the title to which stall not be in such boarder.’” NEATLY DONE. A strenuous effort was made by some of the New Brooklyn men to secure an adjourn’ bly to-day, during the morning session, over to Monday morning. Mr. McGroarty, who un« dertook the task, Uegan operations by, moving se “when the House adjourn it do so to mi again on Monday, atten A.M. Mr. Forster amend this by moving that the House do ‘now’ adjourn, The yeus and nays were called on the admendment, and the roll was —. quietly gone over, wheq Straban in answer to his name began a ramblii speech, explaining why he desired to be execu from voting. He did not cease until the usual fin hour for the adjournment (two o'clock) had bee reached, The calling of the roll was then contin of course, when Mr. MeGroarty rose and asked the Speaker what would be the effect of the carrying of @ amendment, “The House will adjourn till half-past three o’clocke this afternoon,” was the reply. “And if the amondment is lost?” “The House Will take a recess till half-past three o'clock this afternoon,” the Speaker answered. It ts unnecessary to say that Mr. McGroarty and hs backers saw tho point, and when the calling of the roll was completed the House was adjourned till half-past three, amid roars of laughter Tho House re-assembied at half-past three, and a mo. tion by Mr. Power, made about five o'clock, to adjoura over to Monday, was deteuted by a vote of 46 to 46. ‘The third reading of bills was again taken up after disposition of this motion, but a motion to adjourn til ten o’clock on Monday morning finally prevailed. The adjournment was a victory for the democrats, who, now that the day for the final adjourom~.ottis Oxed, are de termined to give the republicans ns little time as possi< ble for their party bills, several of which, 1t is now evi< dent, if the timo ts, not extended for final adjournment to Saturday, will not be reaches in time to be passed, However, there pow remain in the Assembly but thirteen bills ready tor a third rene. ing, and the general orders can be taken bold of carn- extiy on Monday by the republicans pulling well to- gether, 8o that the important Canal Appropriation bills, at least, can be passed by Monday night. It te possible that the Green Extension bill, passed by the Senate, will be reached Tuesday afternoon in Commit~ tee of the Whole.
