NEW YORK GOSSIP. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. NEW YORK, May 3, 1870. Spring, long wished for, long waited for, and longer still in coming, is here at last. During the past few days the sun has done yeoman's duty in the work of bringing back to life the straggling trees and bushes, which, scattered .here and there in parks and courtyards, and lining now and then a street, serve to remind us poor city folk of the days before we came to coop ourselves up in this great prison, and to touch our brick and mortar hearts in consequence ; and with the coming of spring and the return of the birds and flowers come also hopes of a prosperous period, and prayers that the green leaves shall not be the only indications that a "dead" season is over and that new life is springing up about us. But enough of the weather, that ever fruitful topic, and of business with which I have nothing to do, inasmuch as I write of gossip, and let me rather tell of moving day and its miseries. But the man is yet unborn who could adequately describe the terrible turmoil which reigns in the city at this moment. Yearly rents in New York invariably expire on the Ist of May, and as the great majority of the various stores and tenements are held on short leases nearly every one " moves "on that day. The effect produced can only be imagined—the vans which crowd the streets, piled to an incredible height with household goods—the throngs of pedestrians carrying the more fragile or more valuable arti cles—the houses turned topsy-turvey, the incessant smashing of furniture, and consequent breakage of the third Command. ment —all these, and many like these, are characteristics of the first of May—a black-letter day, if ever there was one. This year it happened to fall on a Sunday, and the " celebra tion" of it was therefore postponed to Monday, which, to the delight of every one broke, clear and cloudless, though it is often the fortune of the inhabitants of this good city to be compelled to expose their goods and chattels to the tender mercies of a thunder-storm. That additional agony was spared, however, and the removing has progressed as plea santly as could be expected, and expeditiously enough, for by sunset to-day the last of the stragglers will be housed for another year at least. The " Arcade Railway Bill," as it is commonly called, has passed both Houses of the Legislature, and in all proba bility will receive the Governor's sanction and become a law. If the company to whom the charter is to be granted are successful in their undertaking it will work a revolu tion in the building of cities hereafter, greater than any that has been planned or executed. The project is no less a one than this—Broadway, from the Battery to Union square, and from thence, both Broadway and the Fourth avenue to Harlem, are to be dug out to the depth of sixteen feet, and of the width of the present streets. The trench thus cut out is to be covered by a massive iron roof on, which the pavement will be relaid, and the street thus re serve its former appearance externally. But internally, or beneath the pavement, a new street is to be built, the base ments of the existing houses to be altered into capacious stores, the side walks paved and graded, and in the centre four lines of railway tracks are to be laid, of which the two inner ones are to be devoted to through trains of cars, drawn by locomotives, and running from the Battery to Harlem, with occasional stoppages at important stations only, and the outer to similar trains destined to accom modate the " way travel," or those passengers who desire to go but a short distance. The new street is to be bril liantly lighted by gas, and rendered as attractive for shop ping or promenading as the old highway above it. This you will see is a great undertaking, and one of which the practicability has not as yet been proved—though all the best civil engineers of this city have pronounced it feasible. If successful, as all trust it may be, it will not only prove a great convenience to all who " live up town," but will actually prevent New York from growing smaller, as it now threatens to do. Manhattan Island, being in shape long and narrow, and the portion of the city being co .- fined to the southernmost end, it is evident that merchants and their clerks who live at the northern end, as all men of moderate means needs must do, should have quick transit from their places of business to their homes, and, that being attainable, vast numbers have been steadily leaving the city during the past few years, and removing either to Brooklyn or Jersey city, or one of the many suburbs of New York—from whence a ferry boat of any of the numerous lines will bring them within easy walking distances of their offices in fifteen minutes at most. Under the new order of things, however, this steady emigration will be stopped, as all will then be able to reach their homes in a very short space of time, and at a moderate expense. I do not wish to devote too much space to one topic, or I should tell of the discomforts and annoyances to which all who ride in the horse-cars are exposed, but will leave that for another occasion. I must not neglect, however, to explain how the process of digging out before mentioned is to be executed. The operations of the company are to be con fined to the distance lying between two cross-streets, and over that surface a substantial bridge is to be erected that travel may proceed without interruption. When the ro f is on and the pavement laid: the bridge is to be taken up to the next cross-street, and the work will proceed as before. Should the Governor sign the bill—as he is expected to do —the company will commence operations at once, and push the work as rapidly as possible. Speculation is rife as to the result of the M'Farland trial, now drawing to a close. This cause celebre, with accounts of which the newspapers has teemed; during the past three weeks, has attracted more attention, and furnished a more fruitful subject for discussion in all the circles of society than any which the present generation can remember. For fear that some of your readers may be unacquainted with the case, I will give you the salient points. One Daniel M'Farland, a man of education, but of intemperate habits, married a lady named Abby Sage, and by her had two children. They lived together happily enough for a num ber of years, until H'Farland's dissolute ways, growing worse and worse, caused his undertakings to fail, and his friends to abandon him. As is too often the case, he chose to wreak his vengeance by treating his wife—as the evi dence shows—in the most brutal manner. About this time she made the acquaintance of Albert D. Richardson, a jour nalist by occupation, a brilliant correspondent during the late war—author of several works, and a man of standing in the community. He and other friends repre sented to Mrs. M'Farland that she was doing her self an injustice in remaining with a man who treated her thus cruelly, and urged her—as her talents fitted her for the profession—to go upon the stage, and reinforced their arguments by procuring for her an engagement at the Winter Garden Theatre. Mrs. M'Farland acted upon their advice, left her husband, and accepted the engagement offered her, She maintained herself by her profession, and by contributing to various periodicals earned an enviable position as a writer, During this time she was thrown much in Ricbardson's company, and he very frequently escorted her to and from the theatre. On one of these occa sions M'Farland, maddened by drink, jealousy, and the loss of his wife, stole behind the pair as they were leaving the Winter Garden, and shot Richardson in the back, inflicting a dangerous but not mortal wound. This brought matters to a crisis. While Richardson was confined to his bed, Mrs. M'Farland nursed and tended him, and during this time she agreed to procure a divorce from her husband, and, as love had sprung up between them, marry Richardson. M'Farland, in the meantime, continued to drink to excess, and pour the sting of his sorrows into every willing ear To make a long story short, the divorce was obtained last autumn in the State of Illinois, and the parties were to have been married shortly after. M'Farland heard of this, and swore the marriage would never be, armed himself with a pistol, and went in much of his victim. He met him many times in the days that followed, but always face to face, until one day in November last, when he was sitting in the office of the Tribune, Richardson entered, and, without seeing M'Farland, walked up to the counter and asked for hie letters, The words were yet on his lips when M'Far land, rising up suddenly, reached across the counter and fired point blank, the ball entering his victim's breast. Richardson was carried to the Astor House, where he lay in great suffering for several days, Shortly before his death he sent for Mrs. M'Farland ; they were married by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and the Rev. Dr. S witingham, and son after Richardson died, That is the story, told from the evidence, and without bias of any kind. Thp fact that the persons engaged in the tragedy were all well known to the public lent additional interest to what was already an extraordinary case, and little else has been talked of since the trial began. The theory of the defence has been insanity, and they have worked hard to establish the plea, several of the most eminent criminal lawyers in this city being retained for the prisoner. The prosecution has been conducted in a no less able manner, and now that the announcement is made that the case is drawing to a close, the excitement is rising to fever heat. Both sides hava their supporters, and it would b e impossible to say with whom the sympathy of the public is most enlisted ; but Daniel M . Tarland is enjoying th e f a irest of trials, an d to the verdict of the jury, whatever it may be, the voice of the people will say Am en . Th e theatres have done little in the way of change of programme of late, but several novelties were int ro d uce d on Monday night, o f which the most important was the production, at Niblo's Garden, of a new drama by Alexander Dumas, entitled "Mosquito," in which Miss Lydia Thomp_ son appealed as the heroine. The play was written expressly for Miss Thompson by the veteran novelist and dramatist, and is in his most romantic, and therefore his best, vein, and it was placed upon the stage in a style ,of the ,utmost magnificence by the management, and Miss Lydia Thompson earned much well-deserved applause by her excellent acting. The drama was followed by the burlesque of "La Son nambula," in which the burlesque troupe appeared. Both pieces were received with ranch favour by the audience on Monday evening, and will doubtless enjoy a prolonged season of success. Mr. Fechter, who has appeared at the French Theatre during the past and part of the present week as Claude Melnotte, will play Don Cresar de Bazan, for the first time in this city, on Wednesday evening. His performances are exceedingly attractive, as demonstrated by the large audiences which assemble nightly. The much talked of Spanish ballet troupe made their debut at the Grand Opera House on Monday evening, appearing in the spectacular drama of the " Twelve Temptations." The other places of amusement are all enjoying a fair share of patronage, but call for no mention at the present time. Be fore leaving the theatrical arena I must not forget .to state that it is announced, on apparently good authority, that the proseut manager of Selwyn's theatre in Boston will retire from his position at the close of the present season, and that Mr. Fechter will succeed him. The rumour is plausible enough, and, if founded on fact, you will lose a great actor, and we shall gain one, and the Alabama claims need not be considered any further. And now let me mention minor matters in a final paragraph. In the case of Heath et al (English stockholders of the Erie railway) against that company, the detendants have for mally entered their appearance in the clerk's office of the United States Circuit Court, and their answer will be filed on the first of next month. The sense of decency of this community has long enough been shocked by the doings of Fisk and his accomplices, and we owe a debt of gratitude to Messrs. Heath and others for endeavouring to bring them to justice, even should the effort prove unsuccessful. The new commissioners of the Central Park are going to introduce a new feature into that charming place of resort, namely, promenade concerts on Sunday. The proposition meets with general approbation. The work on the bridge between this city and Brooklyn is being carried on without interruption, and before long the two cities will be within walking distance of one another, as they should have been long ago. The spring Exhibition of the National Academy of Design is, in many respects, the best ever made. Though there are many weak and a few tad pictures, the great ma jority are of a high order of merit. The rooms are thronged day and night by the fashionable world. Property to the value of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars was de troyed on Sunday last by an extensive fire in Centre-street. The buildings burned were occupied by the New York Printing Company. Much activity is to be noted in all •the departments of trade, and business-men look forward hope fully—the streets are thronged by numbers of fair women and brave man riding in superb equipages or enjoying their constitutional stroll. Balls and parties innumerable are given every evening, and, in a word, the season has begun PRINCE HAL. THE GARIBALDIAN MOVEMENT IN ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROME, 17th May. A separate notice of the singular outbreak of the late eight days cannot be otherwise than interesting to your readers, and although it has for the moment failed, it is impossible to say when or how it may again break forth. The facts of Catanzaro are not less significant than those of Aspromonte, and what has passed, and perhaps is still passing in the Maremma, is so strange in a country boast ing organized Government, that it is almost incredible. I put aside for the• present the hypothesis that the movement is approved and winked at by the Cabinet as on former occasions. It is perfectly unfounded ; for the monarchy only exists by sufferance, and has more to fear from the success of the Mazzinians against Rome, than any other power has. What is far more alarming is that the Government of Florence was perfectly ignorant of the scope, force, and leadership of the bands till they were all over the province of Grosseto in which is situated the royal castle of San Rossore, which is supposed to have been one of their objects of attack, although their leader, Gagliano, a Garibaldian officer of not very good fame, published, on the 10th of May, the following proclamation, which de notes a fully developed scheme of action on a scale of which an active and watchful Government had no right to plead ignorance :—" Order of the day. Officers, sub-officers, and soldiers !—Behold us here once more. Oh, my faithful comrades on the field of glory ; behold us here in arms for this last and decisive struggle, to sweep from the surface of our Italy that most opprobrious and shameful stain of the Papacy, maintained by the forces of obstruction and foreign tyranny. " I ask of you constancy and faith in your chiefs, and above all rigorous discipline ; remember that we are two glorious vanguards of other and numerous legions of volunteers, that the eyes of Italy, of our fellow soldiers, and of the world are upon us ; which of us, then, will dare violate the honour of our legion, of our country, and of the Garibaldian uniform which we wear? If there be such an one, I will have him shot without fail ; and I desire that if I should myself deviate from the paths of duty that the same punishment should fall on me. " Officers, sub-officers, and soldiers,—Strong in justice and in the holiness of the Italian cause, we will support with courage difficulties of every kind. Privations, fatigues, disastrous marches (sic), and what we desire still more—a meeting with an enemy who prevents the com plete emancipation of Italy and soils our beautiful land. On, then, to the shores of Tiber, and chase for ever from Rome the Papal domination. Courage, oh, my brave companions, and forward ! God is with the valiant. • Let our cry be, `Long live Italy ! Down with the Pope• King ! ' " The Commandant of the Legion, " GIACOMO GAGLIANO." This heroic patriot, whom may I observe (par parenthese) distinguished himself for cowardice and rapine in the cam paign of 1867, in the province of Viterbo, and especially at Bagnoria, where he sacked a convent of poor Francis cans, beat the defenceless monks, and stole their money, and ultimately became leader of the bands in the Maremma. The minister's Lanza was so little aware of what was going on that he named an engineer, named Mayer as the chief. The truth, I believe, is that Mayer has advanced funds and lent his workmen, but did not take an active share in the affair. Lanza has evidently been deceived right and left by the prefeots. The telegraphic communications, too, were to a great extent in the hands of the Mazzinians, to whom half the employes belong, and the bands were were three hundred strong when they seized the arms of the National Guard at Lustignano on the 12th. That they have all disappeared at a given signal as rapidly as they appeared, is one of the most alarming symptoms, and only proves the perfect organisation of the Garibaldian committees. Considerable excitement prevails in Rome, and Colonel Aletti despatched two companies of lancers by rail to Montalto, on a four days' expedition, yester day morning, with orders to patrol the country, from 4quapendente o Orte Valentano, the extreme confines of the Pontifical States on the Tuscan frontier. A number of bad characters, long known to the police as agents of the insurgents, have left Rome to join the bands, and several arrests have been made; but nothing further is anticipated for the present of a dangerous character, although the agitation is universal in Southern and Cen tral Italy, and Lanza's downfall is considered imminent, after the proofs of incapacity he has given. The weakness of the Administration has never been more evident. In spite of the repeated armed outbreaks in Calabria, and of the fact that at least 300 persons were concerned in them, numbers of them prisoners, it is notorious that no proceedings will be taken to vindicate the law. Menotti Garibaldi was, there is not a rational doubt, the organiser of the movement, and his brother Ricciotti is still with the bands at Costalo. His servant is among the prisoners, and was severely wounded. In Naples there have been two emeates of the students, and the University is closed in consequence, and every thing presages further disorders. I learn this moment that a squadron of Dragoons has left Rome to reinforce the frontier posts, and that an in crease of the French garrison at Civita Vecchia and - Viterbo will take place at the first sign of danger. There is a report of inCyemeilt in Sicily, and of the desertion of a body of troops 4 gne place. Several sub-officers of the garrison of Livorno have Already joined Gagliano. The tranquility of the Roman frontier has not been hitherto affected, but as Rome is full of revolutionary agents, a considerable amount of uneasiness exists. Many of the great Roman families dare not leave home for their annual journey to Paris or the ;German baths, and are already concealing their plate 444 jewels. THE PALL MALL FRACAS.—It is stated that the "peremptory interference of friends" has resulted in a settlement of t e fracas between two members of the Reform Club—one of them a member of Parliament. FIRINGS UPQN THE BIILLFINCH.—T4e Bombay Government have received a letter from. Colonel Pelly, which gives details of the firing on one of the boats of H.M.S. Bullfinch, which gave rise to apprehensions of troubles in the gulf. Captain Godder reported to the British Consul, at Muscat, that the Bullfinch's boat had been fired upon as it passed between the mainland and the Fort Telalee. It now appears that the British Govern ment need not be referred to; the Consul having summoned the Muscat A gen t, rece i ve d f or exp l ana ti on th a t th e mistake had arisen through the darkness of the night. A written account of the affair was afterwards given, which was to the effect that merchant vessels having come into the harbour, the guards of the fort had been directed to keep a pod look-out to prevent smuggling, and that th@ whole was a piece of gross carelessness, " for which the Governor of tke Fort had been imprisoned, and the garrison discharged; '/ • THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1870. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. SUNDAY EVENING. The grand ceremony of yesterday still engages general attention, and various are the comments which are passed upon the &fair. Taken as a whole, the Emperor's speech has been a decided success, and contributed not a little to strengthen the position already secured by the Plebiscite. Some surprise has been expressed at the comparatively small attendance which was observ able on the occasion, but this may be accounted for by the fact that the Emperor went to the place of rendezvous by the new galleries, and not by the Place of the Carrousel. The Parisians love shows, and as it was known there would be no corteye they were not over anxious to appear. Some further changes were made in the disposition of things inside, Hitherto the Emperor alone has occupied the throne, and the Prince Imperial and Prince Napoleon were on each side of him a step lower, while the Empress had a seat placed for her to the left of the Throne. Yester two chairs exactly similar were occupied by the Emperor and Empress and the Prince Imperial and the other princes of the Imperial Family were to the right. When the door of the Rubens Gallery was opened to admit the procession the sight was a fine one. The princes and the princesses joined the Sovereign in the Salle Dnon, where the Cent S Gardes were in attendance. The reception which the Emperor met with from the assemblage was most enthusiastic. The cheers were repeated again and again. The Emperor appeared delighted, the Empress smiled graciously, and the Prince Imperial appeared somewhat gene. M. Schneider next made his appearance, and handed the Emperor a small roll of paper, which represented the all-important Phi biscite. The Emperor inclined his head in approval when the President touched upon any important point in his address, which was several times interrupted by loud applause. The Emperor then delivered his reply. The speech was received throughout with cheers, and at the conclusion the applause was so great that the Imperial cortege had driven away before the acclamation ceased. Among the noticeable incidents of the affair may be men tioned that M . de Gramont inadvertently entered the hall bythe door of the Denon gallery, instead of by the usual en trance. His striking appearance and imposing deport ment produced a decided effect upon the company. The Prefect of the Seine also met with a warm reception People crowded round him, and inquired with interest after the state of his health. The Empress was elegantly attired, and appeared to great advantage. The belles of the assemblage were Madame Emilie 011ivier and Madame Carette, whose fresh spring toilettes imparted a liveliness and grace to the solemn and imposing scene. The hall was crowded to excess, and before eleven all the places reserved for the public were filled to overflowing. The sun shone brightly, and chewed off the brilliant toilettes of the elegantes to the greatest advantage. There is little general news to-day, for the proceedings of yesterday have completely engrossed the public . , attention. The Academy has lately been busily engaged in the election of its two new members in place of M. de Pougerville and the Duc de Broglie. M. Marmier was chosen to fill the first vacancy, and M. Duvergier de Hauranne, the second. The latter is 'An his seventy-second year, and has attained considerable literary celebrity. In early life he spent a year in Eng land, and on his return he published some remarkable letters on Ireland and the English electoral system in the Globe, which he edited together with Guizot and De Remusat. Elected deputy for Cher by the College of Saucerre, he speedily acquired distinction in in the Chamber, where he gave an energetic support to the policy of Casimer Perier. When the Mole Ministry came into power M. Duvergier de Hauranne led the Constitu tional Opposition, and wrote a work on Representative Go vemment,inwhich he used a phrase which afterwards became famous. " The King reigns, but does not govern." Later on he opposed his old associate Guizot, when he came into office, on the question of the secret vote, and subsequently raised the whole question of Electoral Reform. I have not , space to chronicle all the prominent events of his life. but his speeches at the public banquets before the Or leans downfal excited much attention, and some years later he was one of those politicians who were arrested in coup d'etat. After a few weeks' imprisonment he was expelled from France, but returned thither at the close of the same year and retired into private life writing his " History of Parliamentary Governihent in France," his best known work. M. Duvergier de Hauranne, has three children, a son who has contributed some readable articles to Revue des deux Mondes, and two danghters, married to M.M. Buffet and Target. M. Marmier's reputation is ex elusively literary. He has travelled extensively, and has given the world the result of his observations in numerous volumes. Formerly the chief editor of the Revue Germanique, he is now one of the regular contributors to l'Union, and has in the interval filled one or two official literary posts. There still remain two vacant chairs in the Academy, for death has made havoc of late among its members. Those now unoccupied were filled by Monta lembert and Villemain. The " shadow feared of man " has been busy, too, among the rank of amateur artists and collectors in Paris. After M.M. La Cage, Thor Reiset, Demidoff, &c., M. Otto Mundler has passed away in his turn. M. Mundler was only fifty-nine ; he was an acknowledged authority among connoisseurs, and was always ready to lend a helping hand to novices. Beaury, who has attained an unenviable notoriety, has written a letter to his colonel to ask pardon for the dis grace he has brought on his regiment. He says that . he was drawn on without considering what he was doing, and he begs the colonel to express his sorrow to hi s comrades. Dr. Cabarrus has been buried in Pere-la-Chaise. He has appointed Emile de Girardin, of the Liberte, hi s executor, specifying him as the man whom of all the world he has most loved. M. Guizot has left Paris for the provinces after having presented to the Emperor the resolutions passed by the com mittee of superior instruction. The conference between the former President of the Council and the Emperor lasted more than an hour, and included some of the political problems of the day, as well as those educational per plexities of which England has by no means the mono poly. ESPARTERO AND THE CROWN OF SPAIN. The Epoca publishes the following correspondence which passed between the Marquis of Castillejos and Es partero respecting the Spanish throne. "To the Duke of Vittoria.—Honoured Senor,—The Government of the Regent of the kingdom believes the time has arrived to complete the work of the revolution by the election of a king. The honourable ministers who preside over the existing Government are animated by the most patriotic sentiments. In discussing the nomination of a monarch, it is possible that the partisans of your Highness may consider the pacificator of Spain the best qualified. I am directed by the Government, as on similar occasions, to ascertain whether your highness, in case of being elected by the Constituent Cortex, will ac cept the Throne of Spain. The Government has no candidate • but it is its duty to take care that no party shall agitate in favour of a candidate who would not accept the election. Your Highness will understand the feeling which animates the Government. This letter is sent by an old friend,kis Excellency Senor Pascual Madoz, deputy of Cortes, who is one of the most devoted of your adhe rents,—Accept, &c, the Marquis de los Castillejos."— "To the Marquis de los Castillejos. Excellent Senor, 7 -- His Excellency, Don Pascual Madoz, has delivered to me a communication from you, asking if I would accept the Crown of Spain in the event of my election by the Cortes. lam grateful from the bottom of my heart for the consideration of the Government, and I am always ready to give my life for the liberty and the good of my country, but my conscience obliges me respect fully to declare that it would be impossible for me to accept so lofty a burden when neither my health nor my years would allow me to discharge the duties belonging to it.—With all consideration, THE DUKE OF VITTORIA." The Epoca thinks this letter does not in any way account for the persistence of Espartero's friends on the subject. AN AMERICAN ORATOR. Mr. Chandler, a member of the Uuited States Senate, is well known to bear no good will towards England. It seems, too, that he has rather a remarkable mode of expressing his opinions now and then. The other day he brought up a resolution directing the President to treat with the Red River insurgents. "My God 1 Mr. President," he ex claimed, "is that gorged and insolent brute the Britisher, who owes us half the cost of the late war, to be a llowed to gobble up any more territory on this Continent ? Isn't it the ultimate attitude of impudence for him, or even his catspaw, the Dominion of Canada, to talk about getting up an expedition t) settle the hash of these Red River patriots,' who want to be annexed to u, who are a ' hundred thouifilid. strong, and who have control over a territory to which that of the Dominion is but a speck on the map ? Here, Howard, hold this up, will you And here the senator thrust into the hands of one of his colleagues a map of North America, and made him hold it up to the view of the Senate, while he went on to descant upon his theme. "It is our mis sion," said he "to snatch this domain out of the hands of the Canadians; to chain up any British troops that might be sent to Winipeg • to take the earliest opportunity to knock the British drown to Binders ; to arrange for some one or two hundred thousand British graves forthwith ; .and to cabbage the whole boundless continent without any , furiter procrastination."i THE PRESS LAWS IN FRANCE. The [Committee of the Corps Ldgislatif appointed to inquire into the operation of the newspaper stamp duty has presented its report. •It consists of five articles, the first of which provides that from the Ist of January next the stamp duty upon newspapers shall be abolished. Article 2 makes it obligatory that the transmission of all periodical publications beyond the locality in which they are issued shad be through the Post office, and that the postal charge shall be two centimes for 20 grammes weight, with proportionate increase of charge for greater weight. The next article proposes to diminish these charges by one-half for all newspapers published in the departments, except that of the Seine, and circulating in the department in which they are pub lished and the adjoining departments. No additional postal charge is to be made on account of supplements containing the official reports of the proceedings in the Legislature. The report was received very coldly by the Chamber, and it is regarded as very doubtful whether any change in the actual regulation affecting the Press will be adopted during the present session. In the slight discussion which occurred on Wednesday, M. Fillancourt, the reporter of the committee, alluded to a proposition made by M. Emile 011ivier, which chewed that he was not very friendly towards entire freedom of the press. The Paris Journal explains this incident by stating that one of the deputies, M. Haentjens, having strongly urged the necessity for a total abolition of the newspaper stamp duty, M. E. 011ivier replied to him, " This is a question which must be regarded in a political as well as a financial light, and I desire to select my own time for dealing with it. It would certalnly not be azreeable to me to esta blish a Marseillaise in every department." In the mean time the discussion upon the Press laws goes on, but a suspicion prevails that even if the Corps Legislatif should adopt any decision upon the subject involving any modi fication of the existing restriction, the measure would be effectually strangled in the Senate. TAE MASSACRE IN GREECE. Amongst the most recent (the tenth) batch of papers printed in reference to the Greek tragedy is a diary kept by Mr. Herbert from the 10th to the 20th of April. The murders took place the following day. From the entries each day it appears that the captives were generally in a wet and miserable condition. There is also a despatch from the Earl of Clarendon to Sir H. Elliot, British ambassador at Constantino ple. He says :—" Among the despatches is one in which the Earl of Clarendon, writing to Sir H. Elliot, says—' As you will probably touch. at Athens on your way from Brindisi to Constantinople, I think it necessary to caution you, under existing circumstances, not to allow your visit to be considered by the Greek Government as one of compliment. The state of affairs may very well account for your seeking to confer with her Majesty's Minister. But if you should come into communication during your stay in the Greek capital with any of the Greek Ministers or other influential persons, you will not hesitate to say that the intelligence of the massacre of the party of British subjects by the brigands near Oropos has been received by the Queen, by her Government, and by the British people with feelings of the greatest grief and horror. These feelings you will not disguise from the King, if you should be received by his Majesty; though you'will at the same time make known to his Majesty that her Majesty's Government fully appreciate the kind sympathy which he has shewn on this melancholy occasion, which, however, knowing well his amiable character and his friendly feelings towards this coun try, they could not doubt would be felt by his Majesty." Sir H. Elliot acting upon these instructions, paid a visit to M. Valaority the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and also to the King. Tie former repeatedly expressed his deter mination to leave no stone unturned in the discovery of the instigators of . the massacres, and in the punishment of those engaged in them. Mr. Erskine's latest despatch, dated Athens May 12, announces . that intelligence was being rec e i ve d almost daily of the capture or destruction of notorious brigands, but that not the least trace of Takos or his bandhad b een discovered since the 23rd ult. DR. LIVINGSTONE. Yesterday morning the anniversary meeting of the Royal Geographical Society was held in the theatre of the Royal Institution, Albemarle-street, Sir Roderick Mur chison, Bart., President, in the chair. The report of the council set forth that the income of the society during the past year was £6,859165., and the expenditure was £4,454 12s. id. Sir Roderick Murchison, in the course of his opening address, said that he grieved at being unable to offer some encouraging sentences on the ; prospect of speedily welcoming Dr. Livingstone home. At the same time (he proceeded) there is no cause for despondency as to his life and safety. He has been for some time at Ujiji, on the Lake Tanganyika, whence he ' wrote home on the 30th of May last, though unable to make any movement for want of carriers and supplies. These were, indeed, forwarded to him by Dr. Kirk from Zanzibar, when an outbreak of cholera stopped and para lysed the relieving party. Recent intelligence, however, has reached the Foreign Office to the effect that the pesti lence had subsided to so great an extent that we may presume the communication between the coast and Ujiji has before now been reopened. The work which still lies before Livingstone has been often adverted to, and it is hoped that he will live to advance to the north end of the Tan ganyika, and there ascertain if its waters flow into the Albert Nyanza of Baker. If the junction should be proved, we may indulge the thought that, in formed as Livingstone must now be of the actual car rying out of the great project of Sir Samuel Baker, he may endeavour to meet his 'great contemporary. The progress of the great Egyptian expedition of Baker having been delayed - in its outset, we know that it only left Khartoum to ascend the White Nile in February. After reaching Gondokoro, as was explacted to be the case in the first days of March, some time must necessarily elapse in establishing a factory above the upper rapids, and beyond the tributary Asua, where the steam vessels are to be put together before they are launched on the Nile water, on which they are to pass to the great Lake Albert Nyanz. As soon, however, as a steamer is on that lake, we may be assured that Baker, with his well-known energy and promptitude, will lose not a moment in the endeavour to reach its southern end, in the expectation of there giving hand and help to Livingstone. THE PROPOSED CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE IN AMERICA. Yesterday a public meeting was held at the Mansion House, for the purpose of taking into consideration the proposed conference of Christians of all nations which is invitation of be held in New York, in September, by th e of Christians of the - United States. The Lord Mayor presided, and there was a large attendance. His Lordship in opening the meeting, said, although called by the friends of the Evangelical Alliance, the meeting was not an assembly of that body. He considered that a meeting held at the Mansion House, and presided over by the Lord Mayor, would have more weight with the American people than if it was held elsewhere. He submitted that it was their duty to make known that there is such a thing as a sound, holy Protestantism. He had heard a great deal said of the state of society in America, and to his mind it was anything but satisfactory. He could not think of a place which was so fitted for the confere4oo as New York. The Rev. Dr. Steane said it was intended that the con ference should be attended by . Protestants of all grades This would make the sixth general conference which had been held. The first took place in 1851 in London, advantage being taken of the presence of the large number of foreigners who were on a visit t o the great Exhibition. The second conference was held dur ing the great Exposition in Paris, the next at Berlin, the next at Geneva, and the last at Amsterdam. The Con ference would extend over some ten or eleven days, and during those days a series of meetings would be held, more or less public meetings, some perhaps sectional besides committee meetings. Various subjects in connec tion with civil religious, and social institutions would be considered—subjects connected with literature, with schools, and with institutions of almost all kinds, philan thropic and benevolent. It was very important that Great Britain should take part in this conference. The Earl of Chichester moved the following resolution : " That the meeting has heard with much interest the statements explaining the objects and arrangements for carrying out the proposed Conference of Christians from various lands about to be held in the United States ; they are of opinion that there are indications in the pre sent day, especially in the state of Christian Europe, that loudly. call for united action on the part of all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth. They hail, therefore, with satisfaction the projected conference as likely in their judgment to exert a beneficial influence upon nations and upon the Church of God throughout the world." His lordship ex pressed a hope that Protestants from continental churches, would cordially respond to th e invita tion, and that the sanguine hopes of our American friends who anticipated that the gathering would be the most successful ever held, would be realised. He men tioned that the President, vice -President, and Secretary of the United States had approved of the conference and wished it success. .Mr. R M. McFie, M.P., moved the second resolution which was as follows : "that this meeting takes the pre sent opportunity of expressing their deep sense of the kindness, and cordiality with which their esteemed brethren in the United States, have invited Christians of all nations to visit them, and partake of their hospitality during the approaching conference. They desire earnestly for their American brethren all the blessings of Divine love, and that the Conference to whioh they have been invited may greatly strengthen the peace and amity whi c h it is the earnest wish of Christians in both countries to maintain, and that the Church. of Christ may by the conference be encouraged, to the in creasing organisation of Christian charity and co-operation in works of faith and labours of love. The Rev. Dr. Blackford seconded, and Mr. Kennaway, M. P. for East Devon, sup'po'rted the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Lord Alfred Churchill moved a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for presiding; - Colonel the Hon. S. .Thoelyn seconded, and the motion, after 'a few Words' from the Rev. Dr. Jam*, president of the Wesleyan Conference, was carried ; having been duly acknowledged, the meeting broke np There is talk of a fresh search for Dr, LiviligetQne, and Mr. James Baines is spoken of as the right man to undertake it. TOLLING.—A toll-keeper was lately brought before the magistrate for cruelty to his daughter. The little difficulty arose from a discovery made by the parent that the girl, who was frequently left in charge of the gate, used to a ll ow h er sweetheart, a young butcher, to drive his cartthrough free. She never " tolled" her love. THE RELIGIOUS TREATMENT OF PRISONERS. Yesterday the inquiry of the Select Committee of the House of Commons (Mr. Maguire in the chair) was re sumed by the examination of Sir Walter Crofton chair man of the Directors of Prisons in Ireland. He said there was a Protestant and Catholic chap lain in every prison in Ireland. He considered this a beneficial arrangement to the prisoners who benefited much by the instruction given by their own chaplain. There were Protestant chaplains appointed where there were only a dozen Protestant s . H e th oug ht all Catholic priests should be paid for their services, and where there was a, small number of less than twenty or thirty prisoners in a prison, the salary should be fixed by the prison authorities. If the law made the appointment of a Catholic priest to a prison compulsory, he did .not think there would be any difference between the prison authorities and the chap lain appointed as to whether the latter had an adequate salary ; but though he was for leaving it open as a matter of contract, still it might be well to have an appeal to the Home Secretary. He objected to a scale for prison ministers' salaries according to the number of prisoners. It was not necessary to ap point a Baptist or Independent minister as the difference be tween their religious faith and the Church of England was not sufficiently marked. He was of opinion ,that the salaries of the Roman Catholic priests attending prisoners in gaol should be fixed by the visiting justices, and con firmed by the Secretary of State. This being the last witness, the room was cleared, and the committee proceeded to consider their report. THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The half-yearly general meeting of this association was held yesterday afternoon, at the society's rooms, Hanover square, Lord Walsingham in the chair. The report of the Council stated that a grant had been made of £5OO to the Manchester Local Committee in aid of the extra and excep tional expense occasioned by the compensation awarded to the tenant of the trial ground, and that Mr. C. Whitehead, of Maidstone, had been elected a member of the Council to fill the vacancy caused by the election of the Duke of Devonshire as vice-president. The prizes to be competed for at the Oxford meeting next July amount to £3,130 for live stock, and £395, in addi tion to 10 silver medals. The interest attaching to Oxford as being the place where the first country meeting of the society was held, promises to invest the forthcoming show with unusual attractions. The show yard for implements and live stock comprises nearly sixty acres. The entries for implements, machinery, &c., which closed on the Ist instant, prove that the display of this remarkable feature will be very extensive, and that the live stock will be well represented. Another element of instruction and interest will be found in the competition for prizes offered last year by the High Sheriff of Oxfordshire, for the society for the two best farms in the district round Ox ford. The council also stated that, after examining the respective claims of Shrewsbury, Stafford, and Wolver hampton they had decided to hold the meeting for 1871 at the latter place. The President and Council of the Socia6 des Agriculteurs de France have invited this society to take part in an international agricultural congress to be held next year in Paris. The invitation had been ac cepted, and the following subjects of discussion had been suggested as affording opportunities of illustrating the pre sent position of English agriculture :—Drainage, imple ments and machinery, manures, rotation of crops, fatten ing cattle and sheep ; and " the labourer." The Council also reported that the society's consulting chemist ,had presented reports on samples of guano. The immense increase in the manufacture of artificial manure and feeding stuffs, and the competition among dealers and manufacturers, the council state had intro duced into the market low-priced and inferior articles, which often tempted purchasers by their apparent cheapness, and it was hoped that the publi cation of these reports would induce more caution and prevent the disappointment which so often follows the purchase of inferior or adulterated articles. The Council have resolved in future to divide the annual grant of two hundred pounds to the Royal Veterinary College into two heads—namely, one hundred and fifty pounds to the college for the general advancement of veterinary science, and the remaining fifty pounds to be devoted to carrying out experiments on the diseases of cattle, sheep, and pigs. The council concluded by directing attention to the desirability of improving the society's library, and they confidently anticipated that a very useful library of reference would shortly be at the command of the members. Mr. Botley moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded. by Mr. Robertson, who expressed doubt as to whether it was necessary to continue the system of money rewards, seeing the great advantages which accrued to those who received the prizes, both in respect to the enhancement of the price of their stock, and, in the case of implement makers, in the extrordinary sale which they always had after an award in their favour had been pronounced by the society's judges. He suggested whe ther under these circumstances it would not be better to confine the rewards given by them to medals of bronze or silver, and thus put at the disposal of the society for the purpose of experimentalising, or in any other way which would promote the advance ment of science, the large sums now annually expended in prizes. Mr. Freebody criticised the conduct of the association in keeping so large a balance at their bankers, and suggested prizes for the best culti vated farms of different kinds. He expressed himself in favour of the association having an experimental farm as well as encouraging the manufacture of cheese. Some further discussion ensued, and the notion of having an experimental farm or cheese-factory was discouraged by the noble chairman as likely to be ruinous to the association, and totally to swallow up their resources. The suggestion which had been made should, however, receive the attention of the committee. He thought the reports made on artificial manures had proved most valuable. The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks given to the noble chairman terminated the pro ceedings. AGRICULTURE AND THE CORN TRADE. The aspect of agricultural affairs during the week has continued satisfactory, and the tone of the markets may be taken as a sure indication of the estimate of future pros pects by competent authorities. The stimulus afforded to vegetatidn by the late rains has not yet subiided, as is evident from the rapid growth observable in the corn and other crops during the last few days. It must not be supposed, however, that sufficient rain has fallen ' • far from it, as additional moist ure i s s till re quired on some lands ' • but the late genial showers have undoubtedly removed all immediate apprehensions o serious damage to the growing crops from lack of moisture. As regards the hay crop the accounts are rather unfavourable. The grass is very short, and the prospects of a good yield are very indefinite. Influenced by the genial weather and the more favourable accounts from the agricultural districts, the grain trade has been in a depressed state ; and in most parts of the country the value of wheat has receded to the extent of is. per quarter. The fall has been mostly apparent in inferior descriptions, really choice samples, notwithstanding the more liberal receipts from the Baltic and Denmark, showing no appreciable variation. The course of the market will continue to be regulated by the reports of the progress of the crops, the supply of grain on hand being about sufficient, in conjunction with the help that we shall yet receive from America and the Continent, to supply our wants until next harvest, pro vided that no untoward circumstance occurs to mar exist ing prospects.—Magnet. MR. DISRAELI'S " LOTHAIR.”—It is stated that Messrs. Appleton, the well-known New York publishers, desired to enter into an arrangement with the Anglo- American Telegraph Company for telegraphing the whole of " Lothair " to New York in 48 hours, evidently con vinced that the 10 days' start which would thus be ob tained over other 4 1 hCriPan pUblishers would amply re pay the cost of the experiment. The only reason why the plan was not carried out was that the directors of the Associated Cable Companies considered that, having at the present moment only two cables at their disposal (the 1866 cable being under repair), the transmission of the oontents of a three-volume novel might interfere with the regular business. THEATRICAL GOSSIP.—One Of Moliere's most celebrated comedies is in rehearsal at the Adelphi "with the business as handed down from the time of Moliere," Mr, George Vining will play the principal character.— Mr. Charles Reade's Adelphi drama, announced for Saturday next, will be called " F r e e Labour.": The cast includes Mr. Henry Neville, Mr. John Chute (new London), Mr. Ashley, Mr. Phillips, Miss Margaret Young, and Miss Robertha Erskin e . —A new farce at the Surrey, called " Professor Wiggles," introduces a son of Paul Bedford to the stage.—Mr. W. M. Duckworth's Liverpool drama, " Under a Ban," is shortly to be played in London. Miss Phillis Hill, the favourite Liverpool actress, accompanies the drama. LORD DALHOUSLE AND THE GATEKEEPER.—A curicus incident, which illustrates the conflict that sometimes arises between loyalty and duty, occurred at the far-famed Bridge of Dun, where a distinguished crowd of loyal subjects awaited the arrival of the Royal train. Lo r d Dalhousie, who pur posed being present to rece i ve her Majesty, - had proceeded as far as a level crossing ranked the linnaird crossing, whieh point he reached' within thirty minutes of the time appointed for the passing of the royal train. According to the railway company's instructions, no one is allowed to cross the line within thirty minutes before the train passes, and the gatekeeper at the crossing who is a woman, refused to allow the Lord-Lieutenant to mac Lord Dalhousie, in this dilemma, Wa - 15 — pfeyeSted from waiting upon the Queen. MUTINIC AMONGST tiANDSMEN.—A garrison court martial his just been eld in the Infantry Barracks, Woolwich, - td investigate a charge of a serioßS RAtilre against several members of tile bawl at 010040 i Regiment, which has resulted the BRA being sentenced to forty-two clays' impilsonment. Yt appears that at a recent regimental ball the were i n v'eßganoe to play, but towards the close a displAte arose between some of them and the meisman respecting the supply of refresh ments, and in the end a great many put dAwn their instruments and refused to pla any , .Au en deavour was made to set m a tt ers rig toant as some of the men had already takell t 92. imichlo drink, a disgraceful scene took place, which a non - commissioned officer tried to put s, stop to, without succeeding, and got struck. At length the men became s o insubordinate that the guard had to turn out, and afte r a li tt l e show of resistance, placed nearly all the band under arrest. the man punished appears to hav e b een the ringleader, bpt*as not the only one that fell into disgrace.
