The weather iw New York and its vieinity today will be evel and fair, To-morrow the sume conditions are likely to prevail. ‘The pressure continues to fall in | Canada and Untied States, One of the most intelligent and indepea- dent of the London weekly journals—the EBraminer of Augast 31, just received—has leading article which will attract the atten- tion of our neighbors across the northern frontier. As the discussion is occupied with broad general views directed rather to the future than the present it is of little consequence that the Mraminer was drawn into its special line of inquiry by a piece of erroneous information. The London Times, misled by its American correspond- ent, contained about two weeks since a striking leading article on the trade rela- tions of the United States and the British North American Provinces—an article deemed of so much interest to Canada that the Toronto Globe had it cabled in full. The misinformation on which the Times started the discussion was to the effect that Secretary Evarts, in his commu- nication to the British government relating to the fisheries award, had proposed a zoll- verein or customs union between the United States and Canada. We discredited this news as soon as it was received ; it was im- probable on its face. It was credible enough that Mr. Evarts would be glad to negotiate a zollverein treaty, but quite incredible that he would attempt to mix up that ques- tion with the Halifax award. Our govern- ment is bound in honor to pay that award without any higgling or bargaining, unless the British government should vyolun- tarily release us irom the obliga- tion. All intelligent Americans agree in thinking the award exorbitant, but a bar- gain isa bargain, and, since we stipulated to submit the question to arbitration, we are bound by the decision of the tribunal, unless England concedes that the award is excessive. It would have been inconsistent with the honor of the American government to blend this question with any other, and it did not need the disclaimer which Mr. Evarts has since made to convince us that he had attempted nothing of the kind. But, although the two questions should not be mixed, it would.be quite proper tor Mr. Evarts to propose, as a_ separate measure, a readjustment of our trade relations with the Provinces. The Canadians desire a new _ reciprocity treaty, but o zollverein would be a better arrangement ior both sides, and we are not without hope that the Canadian people may be educated up to this view. If our government refuses to negotiate a reciprocity treaty and holds the door open for a zollverein we have no doubt that the latter arrangement will become popular with our northern neighbors. ‘Ihe idea of azollverein is nota new one in America. In the year before our civil war broke out it was taken up with great zeal and advyo- cated with great ability by Senator Douglas, at that time the ablest of our democratic statesmen. But the plan of Mr. Douglas was too expansive. What he contem- plated was a gencral’ North Ameri- ean zollverein, including Mexico as well ‘as Canada and the United States, and establishing the same duties on foreign goods and internal free trade throughout the northern half of the Ameri- can continent, The circumstances, the wants and the civilization of Mexico are so different from those of Cauada and the United States that so comprehensive a sys- tem would not have worked. But our people and those of the British Provinces five kindred, not merely by race and lan- guage, but in the nature of their industry, in the kinds of goods they consume, in their habits of transacting business and in their relations to the foreign commerce of the world. Between these two kindred and closely connected peoples a zollverein would be a natural and mutually beneficial arrangement, On the great topic of a zollverein between the two countries the Keaminer say Thero would be no difficulty about devising an rangement of this kind, and, in itsel ould un- doubtediy be benelicial to both communities, New York and Chienyo aro tho natural markets fur Cana- Gin produce, and the factories of America ought, by orciuury law ol exchauge and bu ca with manufactured goods. 1 ton Louses und vf urtiticial restrict; re alike; aud only tu virtue of protectionist theo- ries, Which Eugiaod bas long ogo disea that we could dispute the benefits cortain to accrue to the Dowinion trom ver sum. tv commercial equality with the States of the Union, It should be remem- bered that, thougn the chain of the great lakes and tne St Lawreace River sep ada trom the Union by tpat fur mauy bundre tat and weet tho (Wo couulrics are only divided by an imuginary trenuer line. ‘This is the broad, sound, common sense of the subject, set forth with perfect clearness and trankness. But the Eraminer goes on to state the drawbacks and objec- tions to which such an arrangement is cx- posed in the minds of loyal Canadians. 'The chief of these objections is that a zollverein would inevitably lead, in the course of | time, to the political as well as the com- mercial consolidation of the two countries. This conclusion still further attests the clear-headedness of the writer in the Examiner. He says:— At the samo time no fair-minded observer could Gispute the fact that Lhe establishinent of such u cus- (ome Uuivo as boat proposed ut Washington would be almost Incompatible with the permanence of the pecu- liar cunuecdon that wow unites the Dominion to the mother country, If oace America and Ci jor the purpores of vommercial a trial =e, tormed one the relations between their iubabitants sovn come oo viose to be ccordance with the exigencies of a com) mote Buropeau Power {no other worus, the com- inw mercial counection With the Union must necessarily jue and wei; ec. t, (he political cor in relations outwoigh, to ¥ tion with G: jon she Wou'd be exposing ber independence to a }, berbaps, ao iimediate dan- Ol such a allianee are su the juterust trade that he proffered uniow tt it United States are The clever writer in the Examiner over- estimates the objection which rests upon our protective turf In the first place there is a large and zealous protectionist party in Canuda, led by Sir John Macdonald, which advocates high duties in Canada tor the purpose of building up her manufac- tures. Under a zollverein Canadian manu- factures would have precisely the same ad- vantages ond protection as the manufac- tures of the United States. Even that more numerous portion of the Canadians who tuke a sounder View of tariff legislation should perceive that the principles of free trade would reeeive a larger extension in Cunada by a zoliverein than by the main« tenance of their present system, Free commerce is of no value between Canada and China, beeause Canada does not trate with China; it is important be- tween Canada and England, because Can- ada has a considerable trade with England; it is infinitely important between Canada and the United States, because the trade of Canada with the United States would alto- gether exceed all her trade with the whole world besides in a state of free intercourse between these two neighboring countries. Canada would gain infinitely more by abso- lutely free trade with all the States of our Union than she would lose in the price of foreign goods by a zollverein establishing uniform rates of duty on imports, The Examiner is entirely correct in sup- posing that more intimate commercial rela- tins with us would gradually detach and wean Canada from Great Britain and create stronger ties with the United States. ‘This much,” the Examiner says, in conclusion, “4s certain, that the artificial relation by which the Dominion forms part of the British Empire cannot be maintained per- manently under its existing conditions. Canada, to say the truth, may become inde- pendent in fact though not in name ; but if she remains dependent, it is on the Union rather than on England that she must ulti- mately rely.” Predatory Lawyers. It is possible for the sharp lawyer to be too sharp even for the success of his own games. ‘This appears in the history of the latest attempt to compel the inheritors of Mr. Stewart’s estate to divide. Here wes an cnormous property disposed of by will without provision for any heirs of the testator’s own blood, and shortly after the death of the testator a remarkable trans- | action in the mature of a sale was com- pleted between two of the heirs, by which they, in part at least, exchanged their re- spective inheritances. It was a case full of temptations for the legal fraternity, and many a lawyer’s imagination was busy with it. One of them found a person whose name had a certain value in it, and who believed he was a blood relation of the great merchant, and around this poor creature it was casy to construct a case; for litigation of this sort is not expensive to the assaulting party. However chimerical their claims the estate itself must pay the expense of disproving them, and as this state of the law offers a premium for at- tempts with ‘money in them” these at- tempts are not scarce. Indeed, it 1s one of the features of our time that efforts on the grandest scale are constantly made in the courts against the estates of rich men. But in this case the plotters were confronted with a counterplot. Beneath their mine was made a countermine by lawyers at least as sharp as theirs, and the present appear- ance is that they may be blown to the moon. If this case shall furnish an exam- pleto make ‘these projects against estates dangerous it will be a salutary event. Another Conference in Europe. Germany's call for a special conference to consider what shall be done to give effect to the Treaty of Berlin is the first official rec- ognition of the failure of that document to accomplish the purposes for which it was ostensibly made. By this call a practical intimation is given to Europe that Ger- many is of opinion that the British theory of dealing with the Sublime Porte having been tried and proved unsatistactory the cabinets must answer forthwith whether they are prepared to try the Russian theory. Russia's plan is the application of force, but England’s theory is that her dear friend the Sultan must be left alone ; that amiable recommendations may be made, but that beyond that Europe ought not to go in the coercion of the Porte to any schemes or projects of change, even though they rest on treaties. All British diplomacy, as ex- ercised with regard to Turkey, has for its object the reduction of all projects and purposes against the Ottoman Empire to consistency with that theory. Indeed, the “great success” of Earl Beaconsfield at Berlin was more clearly perceived in Eng- land than elsewhere simply because it was a success in the spirit of this theory. It changed the letter of the San Stefano ‘Treaty very slightly and in that particular was of no great account; but what it did do was to deprive that treaty in somo de- gree of its immediately and necessarily op- erative character. Once more it came between the Porte and the inevitable appli- cation of ultimate pressure. Under the Treaty of San Stefano, for the execution of which Russia was responsible, Turkey would have been held to its stipulations by the force then actually in the field and at the point of contac’. Russian armies would have given effect to the treaty as the public force of a country gives effect to the dec- larations of its luws and the decrees of its courts. But the British Premier played upon the vanities and jeal-, ouries of the cabinets as a juggler with his apparatus fools an audience ; and under the influence of his dexterous manipulations the governments were in- duced to set aside the treaty for the enforee- ment of which Russia was responsible, and make a treaty for which no one would be responsible, and as to which Russia would be indifferent, if even she would not regard its failure with satisfaction. Russia would herself take her share, of course; but as to points in the treaty made aguinst her will she would leave their enforcement to those interested in them. Turkey might cheat Greece and Russia would laugh; and she might give left-handed countenance to the revolt in Bosnia and Russia not be disconso- late. She might do very much as she pleased with the people of Eastern Roumelia, and Russia would at most say, “I told you so.” All this is what came to pass, and Germany now takes the initiative for a remedy. Her declaration strikes ostensibly at the recusancy of the Porte ; but as the German Cabinet strikes for realities through shadows and subterfuges the blow must tall in fact upon the policy by which England has always preceeded in defeating and discouraging all attempts to set that part of the world right. How this conference will end none can say, but we may be sure that it will not be satisfied with putting Greece in the hands of the Sultan, with a recominendation to mercy. > NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1878.—WITH SUPPLEMENT. 1 Bvents. With ten theatres open and a cloud of minor theatrical and musical entertainments from which to choose city people or visitors from the country need not be dull these autumn nights, unless they prefer to humor themselves in that way. Indeed, the fall season for amusements is initiated with a display of bills that range through almost all the possible moods of variety, from Sheridan Knowles to Wilkie Collins, and from Boucicauli to the unknown and misty American author. People have naturally fallen into the habit of expecting a great deal when the doors of Wallack’s Theatre are thrown open; but this season the reality seems to have fallen short of expectation, It is the common opin- ion ofthe critical faculty that ‘Clarissa Har- lowe” is not a success ; that it was not worth while to dig up poor old Richardson merely to get a few names for use in a dull play on a commonplace and not altogether pala- table theme. But there are fashions in plays as there are in bonnets ; and there are, it appears, ‘‘off years” for, literary invention as for politics, Sometimes it is the fashion to work over the old materials. In fact, it is always a little the fashion to dothat in literature. Somebody in London made a play out of Goldsmith’s “Vicar,” and immediately the wonder arose what other writer of the older generation could be pressed into similar service. Boucicault caught at Richardson, and what is remarkable is that a man with such wonderiully cultivated perceptions as to what there is accessible in literature that is useful tohim should have made such a mistake in this case. Is it not a little odd that what may be called the theatrical in- stinct does not exist in the theatre? How is it and why is it that a manager of Mr. Wallack’s great experience, judgment and tact cannot tell a good play from a bad one until it is actually performed before an audience? And the unknown American author has failed also, ns usual, and on this occasion, and for once, he is in good company. Everybody waits and hopes for the Ameri- can drama and does not despair of seeing some day the brilliant successes of Ameri- can wits in this vein ; but we are afraid the author of “An Open Verdict” has deferred the happy occasion for twenty years at least. He will do this by making himself a terror to the managers, who will fly from the announcoment that he is at the door as the people in the Mississippi Valley fly from the fever. Butthese are the less successful aspects of the season so far. It has its more satisfactory features, and these are all, singularly enough, associated with the names of women. Few cities anywhere have been able to boast a season in which, in different theatres, there was such an ar- ray of talent as is shown in the names of Mary Anderson, Genevieve Ward, Ada Cav- endish, Rose Coghlan and Fanny Davenport. Miss Coghlan is the one redeeming point of “Clarissa Harlowe,” and Miss Cavendish, the latest comer, is an actress of tested capacity on other boards and bas meade a handsome success here. But in the general opinion of competent critics Miss Mary Anderson is the star of first magnitude on our stage just now. Young, with nearly all the physical attributes that nature can contribute toward an actress of the first quality, she has also the mental aptitudes and the in- dustry that are indispensable elements. Her future on the stage is what she may choose to make it. Miss Genevieve Ward, like Miss Anderson, confines her efforts to the strict lines of the legitimate drama, and even in the musty story of ‘‘Shore’s wife”— none the better for the tame style of Mr. Wills—satisfies the strict judgment of the people. In a short time Mr. Mapleson’s opera company will add to the other attrac- tions of the city splendid performances in grand opera, and the season will be in the full career of glory and success. The Storm and the Herald Predic- tions. We give our readers in another column full details of the fearful storm which passed over nearly all the districts east of the Mississippi River yesterday. For some days past the public has been informed through the weather predictions of the Heeatp of the approach of this terrible disturbance, but, as will beseon by the despatches, the warnings did not prevent the loss of life which always attends such phenomena. It is certain, however, that had not the people timely knowledge of the coming events the list of casualties would be far greater. This storm was de- veloped on the Fiorida coast, causing considerable damage in the South Atlantic States. Reaching the Vir- ginia line its course changed from the northeast to north, and the fury of the storm prostrated houses, uprooted trees and endangered the lives of the inhabitants. In West Virginia the rains were the heaviest ever known in that locality. Further tothe north, in Pennsylvania and Ohio, the rains were unusually heavy; trains were stopped, streams overflowed, houses were destroyed and people killed, The losses sustained by railroads on account of bridges being swept away will bo considerable. As far north as the Canadian Province of Ontario the storm was very destructive, travel on many of the railroads was interrupted and life and limb endangered. While some of the citizens of the United States were expecting the approach and others experiencing the effects of yester- day's storm, they little thought that another country had just been wrecked and deso- lated by one ot the same class of phenomena, The special cable to the Teleyram, which we copy elsewhere, tells a sad story of the dis- astrous effects of the cyclone that swept the coasts of Spain and Portugal. ‘This storm was also predicted by the Henaup three days in advance, as will be seen by the following cable sent to London on the 8th by the Heraup Weather Bureau:— It will be stormy im the Bay of Biseay. Cyclone storm is crossing south Of latitude 40, and will prov- ably reach tue Spanish, affecting the French coasts about the 11th. This storm was of nearly the same na- ture as the one that we have just expe- rienced. It was, however, developed farther to the south, possibly near the Equator, and passed over Cuba and the Bermudas early last week. After reaching about latitude thirty it curved gradually to the eastward, and passing south of the Azores ‘rushed with full force on the coasts of Portugal and Spain. It is hard to tell at present which of the countries haye suffered most from the violence of the tempests. We have yet to hear from the New England coasts, where if is expected that the storm will prove un- usually severe. In another portion of the Hxnatp will be found an interesting letter from our Paris correspondent describing the meeting of the Meteorological Congress in that city. A feature of the Congress was the discus- sion of the Henaup storm predictions ater the reading of the paper by the Hznatp me- teorologist. The announcement of the verification of one of these predictions to an assembly containing scientists hot from arguing against their reliability recalls the experience of General Butler before the Congressional committee when the capture of Fort Fisher, which he was showing could not be taken, was announced. The War in Eosnia. The likelihood that the Austrian army will execute a retrograde movement, aban- don Serajevo and lose the advantage of the hard fighting it has already done, has nat- urally startled Vienna, and will excite the country aod make things unpleasant for the Ministry. But this movement has been imminent for some time, and must have been foreseen by whoever has considered simply the consequences of the advanced period in the season. In fact, the attempt to occupy Bosnia this season is already a failure. Austria could only be able to hold her position in Bosnia through the winter if she had made it far stronger than it is before the approach of bad weather. She is now in a position that would be untena- ble in the winter. She cannot materially improve that :position this year by the ut- most efforts she is able to muke, because there is not time. She must, therefore, shorten the line of supply, iu order not to forfeit all she has guined and to be pre- pared to begin anew next season. ‘That is the significance of the Austrian move- ment, in the light of which Europe will open its eyes on new complications in the East.

GERMANY’S TRIBULATIONS. Antagonizing the Socialists and Concil- iating the U!tramontanes. PLOT AGAINST WILHELM The Growing D'ssatisfaction in Austria Regarding Bosnia. STRENGTHENING TURKEY'S ——- ++ TENURE. {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.1 Lonvon, Sept. 14, 1878. Day by day the disaffection throughout the length and breadth of the German Empire growt more bold and resolute. Tne overmastering power of the united liberals in the Reichstag is enough to satisfy the reasonable demands of the sober minded democrats, but among the ranks of the pro litariate the thirst for royal biood is stil evinced. Despite the execution of Hidel and the death of Nobeling, the insane theories of “reform by assasination’’ still find warm sup- porters A Berlin despatch printed in this morn: ing’s Post states that a pew plot against the lite ot the Emperor William bas been discovered. Al- ready severai arrests huve been made, and it ia probabe that the most vigilant espoinage will be kept over all suspected persons. Politics are in as mixed a condition in Germany as they appear tobe in your State of Maine. ‘The change in the feelings of the Catholic party toward the Im- perial policy bas been a matier of much discussion for several days past Am un- mistakable indication of its future line of conduct is seen in the fact that Count Wilhelm Von Bismarck, second son of Prince Bismarck, has been elected Deputy to the Reichstag from Lan- gensalza, the Catholics turning the balance 1 his javor in consequence of his promise tobe guided by his father’s conciliatory disposition toward the Church of Rome. GERMANY’S INTERNAL DISSENTIONS, Between the socialist problem and the reconcilt- ation with the Vatican Germany hes her handa rather full just at this moment. The attempt ta soften the il! will of the ultramontanes at the same moment that the Anti-Soctalist bill is to be revived is one of'those anomalies in Prince Bismarck’s policy that no one can understand.’ The Prince is expected in Berlin from Gasteiu on Tuesday next, and may be able to give some iniormation to the editors of the conservative journals of the capital that may set their minds at ease. Their issues of yesterday show great vexation at the resu'ts of the elections for ofticers of the Reichstag, which signally expose the heiplessness of their party. The elections demonstrate that the united conservative cannot carry the House against the united liberais, except with the help of the ultramontanes, bua reconciliation with the latter seemis as far of as ever. lithe liberals dct together they can defeat the Anti Socialist bili, but it 1s believed that some compromise will be made which will gain the sup.’ port of the moderate liberals and secure thé pas sage of the bill, THE PAPAL POLICY. Regarding the negotiations referred to above be« tween Bismarck and the Vatican, a despatch just at hand from Rome says that it has been agreed that the Church shall be ruled in accordance witl the old Prussian constitution aud that the Falit laws shall remain in force, but subject to @ declaration as to the manner of their execution. Discussion on the terms of ths declaration is: still proceeding, also as to the return of the recalcitrant bishops and the recognition by priests in the provinces of the government's authority, on both of which points: differences at present exist.
