The affairs of Spain seem likely to excite atten• tion, now that other matters are becoming dull, no that an insurrection in that country causes so much disquietude as in any other in Europ, for one is always expecting it to take place, and yet nothing of any moment beems to arise. Taking ad rantage of the opportunity thus afforded, some of the old rebel chiefs have hurried to the scene of action, and thus infused more energy and en thusiasm into their friends and followers. The account given a few days back in so pompous a manner as to the probability of the insurrection being speedily put down was proved to have been an incorrect ouc, for it has gained in strength and increased in importance instead of dwindling away and shrivelling up. It was said at the time, by competent judges, that the official intimations were not borne out by facts, for that troops were assembling and preparations being made all the while that the promise of peace and quiet was held out. We are told now that tran quillity prevails in Madrid, but bow long that state of things will last it is, of course, impossible to say, and very doubtful, we should presume, in the present aspect of affairs. One thing is certain, and that is that the insurgents appear to be increasing in numbers. The official statement tells that the insurgents in Arragon are marching towards the French frontier, closely pressed by the Royal troops. Private accounts state that a regiment of infantry had been entirely defeated by the insurgents of Arragon, which is rather inconsistent with the previous description. It certainly appears as if the authorities did not feel very secure about the matter, for they despatched from Madrid to Arragon 700 infantry, and a regiment of Cuirassiers. General U!anson was killed in the affray that took place in Arra,goo, but his death did not affect the fortunes of his friends, for the rebels retreated in all directions. Different reports concur in declaring that the insurgents in large numbers surrendered to the Royal troops. From Perpignan, dated yesterday, we learn that the insurrection has gained ground, and th It the local authorities have lost their influence in proportion, In Catalonia the inour- gents are very numerous, and, under the command of Baldrick, they destroyed the Alcantara regiment, and put a squadron of cavalry to flight. It cer tainly appears very incongruous to those not well up in these affairs, and forgetful how they manage these things in Spain, to notice how complete tran quillity is said to reign while the Government are proclaiming the state of siege. This is, how ever, exactly the repetition of what has taken place many times and oft before, when disturbances, and revolts, and whatever term should be applied by polite political phraseo logy to those outbursts which take place, that a few more or less exaggerations are of trifling im port.. The chief thing to consider is, what do these disquieted spirits want ? or if by any possi bility that could be determined we might go on to ask, if Spain would benefit by a change ? The answer to this seems easier to give than to the former query, and it is in the negative. Unsatisfactory as the condition of affairs at present unquestionably is in Spain it by no means follows that it will be improved by a change of rulers, or that these eager spirits, supposed to be rushing to the rescue, will ameliorate the state of the country. The Spanish people will not be deceived or led astray in this way ; they have bad ample experience of the evils of revolution, the losses they entail, and the confusion they cause, with no corresponding benefits to point to as compensation or consolation. Whatever be the extent of this insurrectionary movement, it is not to be supposed that Spain is on the eve of a change. After a period of contention and strife, we shall hear of the usual finale taking place, and the martyrs will undergo the usual ordeal of shooting and transportation, as it happens to be. The age of progress has as yet done little or nothing for Spain, and it is certainly mortifying to the pride of those who expect so much to take place in the right direction to notice how much at a stand still is that land, once so famous in the history of nations, and of so much importance and influence in the councils of Europe. However it may have come to pass such it undoubtedly is, but is is also true, however unsatisfactory it may be to realise the truth, that no certain and effectual remedy is before us, and the most experienced and acute of judgment cannot point to a cure for the evil. It seems then that the best thing to be done under these most dis couraging and unpropitious circumstances will be to take things quietly, and to let ill alone until it appears more probable that to make a war will be merely to substitute one evil for another. It is no secret that the Royal family of Spain is in great disfavour and most un popular, but if that family were at once driven out of Spain who should say that a better condition of things would ensue? We must trust to the agencies of that great reformer, Time, to work some cure for the unhappy country of Spain, which now presents indeed a deplorable aspect. Another difficulty that lies in the way of improvement is that there is no one at all likely to work out a salutary change. There are plenty dissatisfied spirits, plenty officers and meddling parties, but it would be another thing to say that any one of these, or the whole combined, could effect the desired re generation. The best advice that can be given to the Spanish Government just now is to be mode , rate in the discharge of its duties. Any undue ' exertion of authority, any excess of zeal in the wrong direction, may do incalculable mischief, • and create difficulties that it may take months to get over. Precaution will be the best and surest mode of effecting the desired end, and as it is idle to disguise the fact that the powers that be are not favourites, there can be but one course to pursue with wisdom. Since nothing of a decisive character is likely to follow from these disturbances it will be well for the interests of Spain in general that they should be checked as speedily and as quietly as possible, and that in all cases the law should be restrained within due limits, instead of exceeding its usual severity. The public will learn with regret that the opera tive tailors of London have not yet learned wisdom from experience. They have been treated with un expected leniency, they have been warned, advised, and reasoned with, in vain. They have already lost many weeks' pay, and are no nearer their object than they were at the outset, in fact they are further off, since the masters are recovering from the temporary depression consequent upon the strike, and are rapidly organising their resources. No one can believe that the whole tailoring trade of London will collapse even supposing Mr. DRUITT and his followers to preserve their resolution for ever. There is no inscrutable mystery in the art which restricts its performance to a certain number of workmen. What man has done man may do is a well known adage, and we should hardly suppose the making of coats and waistcoats would prove the exception to the rule. Broadcloth in plenty will be forthcoming, and hands will not be lacking to make it. However resolute the men, however wide extended their association, they will find the world too wide and circumstances too strong for them after all. They cannot govern or regulate the wishes of the whole body politic, and the law, which provides every loud and general demand with a full supply, is older and more forcible than any Trades' Union regula tions. Such ill-directed and mischievous attempts to carry a point of private interest in opposition to the public good always end in their own de feat, and we fear the tailors' strike will only be another instance of the causeless suffering inflicted by perverse and mistaken theories. At the full meeting of the Operative Tailors' Association, held on Saturday, the present position of affairs was considered and discussed. We regret to find that the result of this discussion was that the strike should be continued even if it were necessary to do so through the coming winter. It is only fair to the association to add that they have no intention of infringing the law, and they appointed a sub-committee to devise some effectual mode of action which should keep within the bounds laid down by Baron Bramwell. So far then it is their own affair and their own loss, but it is impossible not to regret the trouble they are bringing on themselves and their families, a whole winter's inaction and loss of wages. What that signifies is only too well known to the wives and children of men on strike. however rich the hoards of the association, they can hardly afford to allow each man from 365. to 425. per week, which was we believe the average of wages before the strike. If indeed the funds in reserve can keep them in anything like comfort during a prolonged strike, it can only say that it proves the tailors' case to be not a very hard one since they can afford to subscribe so much. When we think of the hosts of men and women, too anxiously looking out for regular employment in this overcrowded London, it is aggravating to see men quarrelling with what no one can deny to be an ample provi sion for their position in life. At all events, if it is not, thousands of educated men, clerks, and medical officers, and even curates, contrive to live on it with out raising such a chorus of complaint. If all the men of various ranks and degrees wlioa:. annual earnings amounted to less than £lOO a-year were to strike work to-morrow, the Operative 'Tailors would find themselves the centre of a goodly coin- pany. But we; may seriously ask what moral right these men have thus to defraud their families and risk actual want by their perverse adherence to their demands? It is possible that by the time they have made up their minds to an inevitable conces sion their places may be no longer vacant. Their em ployers may have removed, have retired, have changed their business, have got new hands. Besides all this, there is the steady rivalry of machinery, that dangerous enemy to all monopolies. No one in these changeful days can guarantee that he will be able to take up his work at an indefinite time just as he lays it down. Others will rush in to fill up the vacancy ; the course of events will have altered his position ; the last opportunity will not wait. It is easy to carry wholesale resolutions in any mo ment of temporary excitement, but a six months' strike means something more than words, and we trust that the Operative Tailors will be wise in Lme. The correspondence from America shows that President JOHNSON has acted wisely in the decided step he has taken with respect to his insubordinate Secretary. It will have been observed that Mr. JOHNSON suspended Mr. STANTON, instead of re moving him, and this was done with a reason. Mr. STANBERRY indeed gave his opinion that the President had a clear right to remove any official not appointed by himself, but it was certain that Mr. STANTON would contest that right on the strength of the Act which prohibits re movals during the Senate's recess. had he done so the case must have gone before the Courts, and during the interminable legal delays Mr. STANTON would have retained his office and his power of making mischief in and out of the Cabinet. Mr. JOHNSON'S exercise of the President's undoubted right to suspend any officer removed all difficulties, and put the troublesome Secretary at once hors de combat. Mr. STANTON was forced to submit to be superseded by General GRANT, but did so under protest, and has since been actively declaring his con viction that Congress would reinstate him in his office so soon as it reassembled. The Radical journals, as might have been expected, are bitterly attacking the PRESIDENT, and even the popular GRANT Comes in for a share of their reproaches. SHERIDAN, they say, would not in his place have acted so, and certainly considering General SHERIDAN'S contempt for orders in the South, we may easily believe that he would not have scrupled to disobey his com mander. The PRESIDENT, however, has disposed of him too, and has replaced him by the less fiery but more reliable THOMAS. Mr. JOHNSON'S troubles in the Cabinet are, however, not yet over. Mr. SEWARD has thought fit to show a very ill-timed sympathy with his suspended colleague, and they have been driving about Washington together, in token of their new alliance. Mr. JOHNSON has shown that he knows how to vindicate the dignity of his position, and it is not likely that he will allow himself to be overridden by any presumptuous ' or contumacious associate. What the Congress will think of these events remains to be seen, but there is time enough for many changes before that ' noisy and troublesome assembly resumes its ill directed labours. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PAIS, Sunday Evening. The Emperor and Empress reached Strasbourg on Friday evening on their return home. They passed the night there, and yesterday morning left for Paris, where they have arrived. Their reception at Strasbourg was most affectionate and enthuA astic. The city was hung with flags, and there was a general illumination. While at Salzbourg their Majesties went to the theatre. The two Sovereigns were saluted on arrival by the band playing " I ar tant pour la Syria," the whole audience rising. The Emperor of Austria wore the uniform of a General of Chasseurs. The Emperor Napoleon was in evening dress. Baron de Beust occupied a side box. lie also was in evening dress and wore the star of the Legion of Honour. The Princess Hohenlohe wore a rich diadem of diamonds, among which were some large brilliants which d fizzled the eyes of all. The Princess Kinsky was by her side. She was ornamented with a magnificent neck lace of brilliants. Count Jules Andrassy wore the ribbon of the order of St. Stephen. The Empress of Austria and the Empress of the Fronch did not arrive till a late hour, but they came at a very interesting part of the piece, which in creased the enthusiasm. The Emperor Napoleon had the Empress Elizabeth at his left, and the Em peror of Austria sat to the right of the Empress Eugenie. The two Empresses were dressed in white. The Empress of Austria had a very rich diadem of diamonds, and on the splendid blonde hair of the Empress were remarkably rich clusters of brilliants. " These ornaments, however , " says the account, " did not eclipse the remarkable beauty of the two empresses." The Moniteur contains a long report from the Minister of Fareign Affairs and the Minister of Commerce relative to the sanitary condition of the East, which, thanks to the sanitary commission which was recently appointed, is iu a very satisfac tory state. The pilgrimage to Mecca, which causes periodical alarm, has been accomplished this year under very satisfactory conditions as regards the public health. The tone of Djeddah has undergone a complete transformation ; the streets and houses have been cleansed, and all the former causes of disease removed. The Turkish Sanitary Commis sion have.been to the entrance of the Red Sea with a view to select the best spot fur a lazaretto and a sanitary station. The French Government, it is stated, will hereafter come to an understanding with the foreign Powers relative to the police and navigation of that sea, " which is incontestably an international question of first-rate importance." The Federal Council of Northern Germany has assembled under the presidenly of M. Friesen. Prussia presented the postal law, and also a pro position that Prussia should be charged to negotiate with France, in concert with Bavaria and Saxony, the arrangement of the Franco-Mecklenbourg Treaty of Commerce, and to renew with Austria the negociations relative to a customs and com mercial treaty. The King of the Netherlands has remitted to the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the French Ambas sador in London, as well as to all the Ambassadors who signed the Convention of the 11th of May last relative to Luxembourg, the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Golden Lion of the House of Nassau. The Ministers of Belgium and Italy, who also took part in the Conference, have received a similar die. tinction, the Order of the Oak. Accounts from Constantinople state that the Turkish Government has resolved to give the greatest possible impulse to public works, and pan= titularly to improve the means of counnunieation of the Empire. Efforts Wii). also be made shortly to halterl the Conztruction of railways in Anatolia. The Sultan has determined to create a Connell of State, composed of members, one half of which are to be Mussulmans and the other half of Christians. A letter from Livadia (Crimea) states that the Czar, on the 21st inst., received Fuad Podia, who remitted to him au autograph letter from tho Sultan. The provincial papers state that grey partridges will be very scarce this year in France, as the eggs were hatched at such a late period that the nests have been. destroyed, particularly in the meadows. Hares, however, will be very abundant, and so many snipes were never seen as there are this year. There are also plenty of red-legged partridges, the hatch ing having been favourable. There are more last words about the woman Fri gard. When she was urged to appeal, she said, " I shall submit to the decision of justice, and I hope that this example of submission to the law will be followed by everybody." Towards the conclusion of the trial she said to one of her companions in cap- TH E SUN, LON woN, MONLIA Y E Y LNING AUGU ST 26, 1867. tivity, that if she were imprisoned they should not keep her long. This was supposed to refer to an in tention to commit suicide, but she denied the desire, and said she had deeply studied magnetism and spirit-rapping, and having been in communication with the souls of suicides, she knew what tortures and sufferings they experienced, and she would never expose herself to such formidable punishment. She declares that the receipts given to the Comptoir d'Escompte were forgeries, but that she did not forge them. The forger, she said, was Williams, the Englishman, from whom she received them, and that they shared the money together. The primer still persists that she poisoned the widow Mertens with prussic acid. Madame Mertens com plained of the heat, and asked her for her bottle of smelling-salts, and on her smell ing the bottle of prussic acid she fell down dead instantly. Subsequent investigations in the locality do not support the theory of death suddenly from a fall. It is now said that no bottle was found near the body, only some fragments of glass. The murderess, who preserves her coolness of manner, tells various incoherent tales about Williams, who, she says, committed violence upon her, and is the father of the child whom she expects to bring into the world. A submarine telegraph has just been invented, which promises to be of great utility. Some experi ments have been made with it in the Canal St. Martin. The object of it is to give better means of inspecting the condition of ships. One part of the telescope is placed under water near the place which it is wished to inspect. The other extremity, which is not submerged, serves for the eye. The experi ments, under the direction of M. Boisseau, suc ceeded so well that at a yard and a half in depth in the water it was possible to see very clearly two marks traced with a pencil on a piece of paper. There is a great abundance of reports, all of them contradictory, and most of them very doubtful, as to the supposed result of the interview between the two Sovereigns at Salzbourg. The most pre cise of all these statements is contained in a tele gram from Vienna, published in the Independance Beige, a very well-informed Brussels paper. It is as follows : " Telegrams from Salzbourg announce that the principal object of the stipulations between the two Emperors was to prevent the incorporation of Southern Germany with the Confederation of the North. " The formation of a Federation of the States of the South will not be considered as admissable ex cept under the presidency of Austria." On the other hand the Memorial Diplomatique says " that the result of the conversation and deli berations between the two Emperors is the convic tion, shared by both, that in the presence of pend ing international questions, of which the solution is desirable for the maintenance of political equili brium and the general peace, there exists a com munity of interests between Austria and France. To follow out that community of interests by ac tions, to which the other Cabinets will be united to lend their moral support, such will henceforth be the object of the two Powers. The support asked for from the other States excludes the idea of a private alliance." In reference to this article the Siecle asks, what can be understood by the " moral support" asked for from the other Cabinets? Is it from that over which M. Bismark presides? or from that of St. Petersburg ? The eminent surgeon Dr. Velpeau died on Friday night from a painful inflammation of the bladder. He was born at La Breche on the 18th of May, 1795, and was consequently 72. In 1830 he was appointed surgeon to the Hospital de la Piti6. In 1832 he became a member of the Academy of Medi cine, and in 1842 honorary member of the Academy of Sciences, in the room of the celebrated Larrey, the surgeon. Dr. Velpeau was commander of the Legion of Honour. This is the third great surge )n whom France has lost in the space of a year, viz , Jolert de Lamballe, Civiale, and Velpeau. Dr. Costello, the surgeon, whose death in Paris has been recorded in The Sun, was a man of vast attainments and general knowledge. He was a native of Dublin. He attained great celebrity here for his inventions relative to lithotrity, and by his means many serious cases of stone in the bladder were operated for with comparatively little pain. The weather seems at last to hare settled into ninterrupted sunshine and intense heat. TITANIFEROUS SAND. A curious paper has been received by the Academy of Sciences on a sort of sand which is very common in the Portuguese island of Santiago, in the Cape Verd archipelago. This sand is composed of by the magnet, ex tremely small grains, jet-black, b u t no t crystal line,colou r accidentally ed mixed up with a very few particles.it is attracted but all of its grains do not possess this property ; and to separate those that do, M. Silva has employed the very process of attraction above alluded to, whereby he has obtained 82 gins. of magnetic matter out of 102 gins. of sand, being a proportion of 55 per cent. The magnetic grains are all black, with a metallic lustre ; they are very hard, but powder. Their den sity is 4.6 The powder soils the fingers, having 7 may 2. be ground to lost none of its original blackness. Conuntrated hydrochloric acid will attack it at a hi g h tempera ret phial provid e d with a long tube u' ; especiallyneve nevertheless a a few coloured particles re maint precipitate is formed, which, untouched,r andwte disappears hi when a little zinc is h oeve thrown in, and the so l u t ion then assumes a vio let. By analysis it is found tc contain 21 per cent.. of titanic acid, 52 of metallic iron, 2 of magnesia, 2 of a alumina, and traces of manganese and emery, the latter constituting the residue. The umnagnetic portion of the sand is composed of dull black grains, which are not so hard as the others, and can be much more easily reduced to powder, which then is reddish and does not soil the fingers. Its density is 3434, it does not melt under the action of the blow-pipe, and is but partially soluble in hydro chloric acid at a high temperature. It contains silicic and titanic acids, iron, lime, alumina, manganese, and emery, This sand might become very valuable from the iron and titanic) acid it contains. THE 0871tICH. ----,-- A report addressed to the Societe d'Acelimatatbn by M. lierifle, French Consul at Cape Town, contains some interesting particulars respecting the domesti cation of the ostrich. It is Well known that efforts have been made in Algeria as well as in the South of France to obtain this desirable end ; but as yet the art of managing this valuable bird, and making it multiply in a domestic state, is still in its infancy. The additional information, therefore, now received from the Cape of Good Hope, where similar experi ments have been tried, has been hailed here with satisfaction, A farmer, who reside 3 in the vicinity of Cape Town, possesses a considerab le flock of ostriches, which he manages as follows : —A few da y s after the enticed away to A separate shed b y imitating the young ones have left the e gg , they are mother's cry, and there they are fed With all kinds of leaks, bulbs, Carrotri, lettuce, &c., chopped fine. Three or four day s after a little maite, Warm In lifty, or Ntheafi or barley is a dded to this repast ; at night they are kept cotton, or shut up in a warm room, such as the kitchen, for instance. 'they are not let out till the sun is high, and they arc fed the whole day long. As to the old birds, or the younger ones six or eight months old, they are left to themselves, and find their own food wherever they please; they get a little maize or other grain occasionally. Tho plum age of the domesticated ostrich is not quite so valu able as that of the wild one, but yet fetches a good price in the market. The above mentioned farmer cleared £lOO from the feathers of 18 young ostriches last year, though, from want of experience, the birds had been clumsily plucked. The operation is best performed in August or September, and not till the age of 18 months. _ ....

A Row WITH THE POLICE.—DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.— Patrick Flynn, a tailor, James Drysdale, a tailor, William Ford, carman, and Joseph Wheeler, porter, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Police-constable Timberlake, 129 A, said—On Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, I was on duty in Silver-street, Golden-square, when, hearing cries of "Police," I has tened to Little Windmill-street, and saw Flynn and another man not in custody fighting together, surrounded by about 300 persons. As soon as I could get through the crowd I parted the men, but with great difficulty, and in doing so I fell with Flynn on tho top of me, and Drysdale then struck mo three blows, two in the mouth and the other in the eye, and I still feel the effects. Drysdale then ran off, but was afterwards caught and taken to the station, and the other prisoners were taken into custoly after wards. Police-constable Tyler, 65 C, said—On Saturday even ing, hearing a cry of "Police," I went to Little Windmill street and saw Flynn and another fighting, and Timber lake trying to separate them. Drysthl then came up and struck Timberlake three times and then ran off. I pursued him to the end of Pulteney-street, where he was stopped, and I brought him back, and on getting near the publichouse where the Tailors' Committee is hold, at the corner of Littlo Marlborough-street, Drysdale called out " Tailors come to my rescue," and about 300 tailors, some from the publichouse and some from the street, came rush ing up, and Drysdale then kicked me in a particular part and doubled me up, and, with the assistance of several others, tore my coat. I fell and could not rise for the pain, and while down I was knocked and kicked about, and Drysdale kicked me In the same part again. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you feel the effects of the kicks now ? Witness—l do. I was in plain clothes at the time, and, to protect myself, took out the other constable's staff and told Drysdale that if ho did not go quietly I would strike him. On getting into Blenheim-street Drysdale again called out near a tailors' house—a beer shop—and a num ber of tailors rushed out. Drysdale then tried to kick and bite, but other constables coming up he was proventsd. Ford struck me on the back of my neck. I turned round and tried to get hold of him, but could not, Wheeler say ing, "Knock the down," and pushing me aw..y, say ing " Don't let him go." Mr. Tyrwhitt —SO far as Flynn is concerned, the lock ing up he has undergone is sufficient punishment for him. As regards Drysdale it is quite a different matter, as he has been proved to have committed a series of assaults without any cause. Ile will be committed for 14 days for the assault on 129 A, and for six days for the assault on 65 C, as he had kicked the man very cruelly; and would have to pay a fine of 10s., or seven days, for the assault on Mr. Byrne, ss. or four days for the assault on 166 C, and he will have to find a£s bail, at the expiration of his terms of imprisonment, to keep the peace to Mr. Byrne, as ho has threatened him. If he is idle about the streets he will not find it hard to be idle in gaol. Ford will be committed for 14 days, and fined ss. or four days. T HAMES. A DANGEROUS CHARACTER.—Richard Wright, an eccen tric. intemperate man, who has lost both his legs, was brought before Mr. Benson charge with violently assault- big George Hunt, a boy about 12 years of age. The prisoner is a dangerous and wandering vagabond, without any home or occupation, and has been maintained by good-natured persons, who have given him food, money, and strong drinks. He has committed great ex cesses in his:drunkenness ; and on one occasion he broke all the windows and carboys in a doctor's shop with his two sticks ho uses to assist him in walking on his wooden legs. On. Saturday night he was intoxicated, and was followed through Stratford, Bromley, and Bow by a large number of boys, who were shouting, jeering, and laughing at him. He resented this treatment by flourishing his stick, and he struck one boy named Hunt a fearful blow on the head. The boy's cap was cut, and ho was severely in jured. The prisoner said the boys would never let him alone Mr. Benson—Because you get drunk, and make a fool of yourself. The prisoner said that some of the boys pulled him about and one hit him on the back. A policeman—l have seen the prisoner standing with his back against a wall, swinging his sticks, and with 800 or 400 boys facing him. Mr. Benson said the prisoner was a dangerous, ill con ducted man, and that if he did not get drunk and make a nuisance of himself he would be an object of pity, not of violence. The prisoner must not repeat such dangerous tricks as the one now charged against him. If the boy's head was not defended by a cap he might have been killed. He sentenced the prisoner to three days' im prisonment. The prisoner—What am I to do, your worship, when I come out of prison? The boys won't leave me alone. Mr. Benson—Keep sober, aid the boys will not molest you. LIVERPOOL COTTON MlRKE7—This Day The iklarket opens quietly. Prices unchanged. Saks probably 8,000 or 10,000 bales.

The North German Lloyd's steamer America, from New York, has arrived here with 106 pas sengers for this port, Havre, and Bremen ; 40 sacks of mails, $132,937 in specie for London, and $5,100 in specie for Bremen. NEW YORK, Aug. 15, Morning. It is reported that General Grant, in a Cabinet Council, advocated the adoption of a more liberal Reconstruction policy. Orders have been sent to General Sickles not to interfere with the Federal courts. General Pope has ordered the civil officers in his district to give public advertisements only to jour nals favouring the Reconstruction Act. The rumours of the probable removal or resigna tion of other Cabinet officers are denied. The Ca binet is reported to be harmonious. Mr. Pendleton, formerly Minister to Chili, has been arrested in Vir ginia, under a writ from Judge Underwood, for perjury in taking the Registration Oath. Mr. Ashley will, it is said, be indicted for conspi racy and subornation of witnesses. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says that the recent disclosures by Conover were part of a conspiracy of prominent Democratic Congressmen against Mr. Ashley and other im peachers. _ _ _ The Indians have been routed in a battle near Fort Kearney, Nebraska. _ The Globe, a new paper, published at New York, asserts that immense over-issues of securities in the Treasury Department have been discovered at Washington, but the report is generally discredited. Admiral Tegethoff has arrived at New Orleans, and is awaiting orders. _ _ According to advices from Vera Cruz to the 31st July Juarez's reception at the capital was very enthusiastic. Tejada, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a speech at a banquet, on the occasion, highly eulogised the example of the United States, and spoke of the war in Mexico as a lasting lesson to two classes, the clergy and the great proprietors. It is reported that Marquez had been captured and the traitor Lopez assassinated. Prince Salm-Salm had been sentenced to be shot. The Mexican Con gress was expected to be convened in November. The Prezidential election takes place in December. As now re-arranged the Mexican Nliniitry stands thus:-- Minister of Foreign Relations, Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada ; Treasury, Jose Maria Yglesias ; War General Ignian Mejia ; Justice, Jose Martinez do Castro. The following proclamation was issued by Juarez upon his entry into the capital : " Benito Juarez, Constitutional President of the Mexican Republic. " Mexicans—The National Government return to-day to establish its residence in the city of Mexico which it left four years ago. It bore with it the resolution of never abandoning the perform ance of its duties, the more sacred in proportion to the conflict the nation had to sustain. It went in the firm confidence that the Mexican people would struggle without cessation against the iniquitous foreign invasion in defence of their rights and of their liberty. The Government left in order to con tinue to uphold the banner of the country as long as it might be necessary, until the triumph of the holy cause of independence, and of the institutions of the republic should be consummated. cg The good sons of Mexico, battling alone, without the assistance of any one, without resources, and without the necessary elements of war, have obtained it. They have shed their blood with su blime patriotism, and have been ready to make every sacrifice rather than consent to the loss of the Republic and of liberty. " In the name of a grateful country, I pay the tribute of the highest acknowledgment to the good Mexicans and the worthy leaders who have de fended her. The triumph of their native land, which has been the object of their noble aspira tions, will always be their fairest title to glory and the best reward of their heroic exertions. Filled with confidence in them, the Government strove to comply with its duties without conceiving ev en a single thought that it was lawful to impair any of the rights of the nation. The Government has fulfilled the first part of its duties by not con trasting abroad or at home any engagement which would wound the independence and sovereignty of the republic, the integrity of its territory, or the respect due to the constitution and the laws. Its enemies attempted to establish another Government and other laws without having been able to consum mate their criminal intent. After four years the Government returns to the city of Mexico with the banner of the constitution, and with the same laws, never having ceased to exist one single in stant within the national territory. The Government has neither wished, nor should it have allowed itself heretofore, and far less ought it in the hour of complete triumph of the republic, to be inspired by any sentiment of passion towards those who have fought against it. Its duty has been, and yet is, to weigh the demands of justice against considerations due to lenity. The modera tion of its conduct, wherever it has resided, has demonstrated its desire to temper as far as possible the rigour of justice by reconciling clemency with the stern duty of leaving the laws to act where they are indispensable to secure the peace and future prosperity of the nation. Let us now bend all our efforts to obtain and con solidate the benefits of peace. Under its auspices the laws and the authorities will be efficient for the protection of the rights of all the inhabitants of the republic. Let the people and the Government re spect always the rights of all—among individuals as between nations respect for the rights of another is peace. Let us hope that Ow Mexicans, warned by a lengthened and painful experience of the calamities of war, may co-operate in future for the welfare and prosperity of the nation, which can only be obtained by an invariable regard for the laws, and by an obe dience to the authorities chosen by the people. Under our free institutions the Mexican people are the arbiters of their fate. With the sole pur pose of sustaining the cause of the people during the war, when they could not elect the executors of th:ir will, it was my duty, in conformity with the spirit of the constitution, to retain the power they had conferred upon me. The struggle ended, it becomes my duty to convoke immediately the people, in order that without the pressure of force and without illegal influences they may elect at entire COVENT-GARDEN CONCERTS. The concerts now being given at Covent Garden have more than fulfilled the expectations created by the names of the two distinguished conductors. They may fairly be pronounced a vast improvement even on the attractive concerts of the late Mr. Mellon. Signor Bottesini, who is a Joachim among double-bass players, is almost equally skilled as a conductor. Ms merits as a thorough musi cian are significantly shown in the operatic selection from "Romeo o Giulietta." This has been done in 5 masterly manner, and presents a series of agreeable remi niscences gliding one into another, without the clumsY transitions that usually distinguish such compilations . Some of the music of this opera that on the stage passed almost unnoticed is found much more effective in its pre sent form. This is notable in the quaint charming a .r for the page, so coldly received, notwithstanding the graceful musician-like singing of Mdlle. Nau, that more than compensated for her childlike voice. It has been given to the cboe, and seems to attract more than any other marceau. Signor Bottesini has introduced the wedding music omitted this season at the Royal Italian Opers, and in the march we see how Gounod is indebted for his leading themes to Richard Wagner. If "Romeo Giulietta" had been put on the stage as Gounod's firs t work, its reception would have been very different to that bestowed on it last season at Paris and in London . However, notwithstanding its more than ever eviden t want of tangible melody, and its poverty in harmony, Signor Bottesini has admirably succeeded in offering selection that is received every evening with increasing favour. But the great attraction that renders these con certs superior to all those that have preceded them is al° dance music of Herr Johann Strauss, conduc ted by the composer in his own inimitable manner. In the WS when M. Musard commenced the open air concerts in the Champs Elysee, dance music was the chief, if no t the solo feature in the programme. It was the same with Jullien's deafening entertainments in this country. the latter case the dance music was something awful, and, consequently, a success. Of late years a better taste has been forced, not without some labour, upon th e people, and the first part of these annual promenade con certs has been devoted almost exclusively to the mer e important works of the great masters, and has been tie' cepted by audiences with a graceful condescension. T ll° second part, however, has been invariably reserved fo r the dance music of native and foreign composers. To our disgust we have had too much of the former and too little, or rather none at all, of the latter. If M. Jullien's waltzes, polkas, and massive army quadrilles were terrifying, win ° , shall we say of the sickly effusions tha t have for pas" seasons disfigured the autumnal concerts at Covent Garden and elsewhere? How was it, that whilst Paris and Ge" many and the whole Continent rejoiced in th e fascinatia compositions of the elder Strauss, and the greatest ceal; posers listened with delight to waltzes like the 44 Sophi n and "Pulsationen," and pronounced them b eautiful, that t we were condemned to hear our glorious orch estras algb„ after night fiddle away at the " Guards " o r " MabelA It was simply a degradation for such ba nds to be obligei: to play such music. Not a particle of originality, but ways a maudlin attempt at what was styled " voluptur o melody." There was no deficiency in the number of nal% composers, but they were all alike. If the y had eVe,, borrowed their ideas from good sources, it might been something, but they were indifferen t whom thea patronized and stole from each other. And crowd audiences rose up and shouted with rapture. d 114 But happily this season Mr. Russell has intro duce d o to the son of that Strauss who formerly so bewitched musical world at Vienna, and who was known and aPt r ue elated everywhere, excepting, of course , London. .-`.ft sou may not, in all instances, possess that wonderful gbllt'io of melody which in the father was unequalled; cu such a waltz as the "Morgenblactter," there is not 1 0 05 to choose between them. We find in his composition in those of his father, a great freshness and origina ll ,! s . pure melody, and solid writing. There is a brightne,:e; mud, at the same time, a repose in style, which De, weary, but please at all times. Wedo not wilt, to it to this class of composition more than its duo ran`' in the hands of Herr Strauss and his son it is indeS cr :, bably fascinating. As a conductor Herr J ohann is t°ol-c, quelled. Without his own interpretation, even ifo " 3lorgenblactter " would lose much of its charra co t confers a characteristic significance on every ineveta-tue —sometimes on every bar—and infuses poetry `nth the whole. Like his father, ho leads the orchestra wit', c o. violin. In the opening bars and occasionally, lie con° with the baton, and then plays his own melody with t c c cl pression emphatic, but not in the least degree exaggera joo His manner is most unaffected and unpretending• wo time marking is characteristic and graceful, and his °6O fire and enthusiasm are quickly caught by the perforni,os and the audience. Wonderful to relate, this charul dance music is thoroughly appreciated , and each one - sive audience grows more and more enthusiastic. oe We cannot say much for the remaining items programme. The two solo singers are very indi ffere o o o Among the instrumental soloists Mr. J. H. Welfli is,ver of the most remarkable musical athletes we heav e fa ilo witnessed. His left-handed agility is surprising , I nit st ieg to interest, more especially in that dreary eve l , l3 u se' " Home, Sweet Home." His arrangemen t of the ".'°"t,et waltz is novel, and he plays it with a dexterity' beep wile lissostii, is almost brilliant. There is also Mr. Levey, facetiously advertized as " Paganini Redivivue." oral there is Master Bonnay, a phenomenon whose eltrane nary skill on the xylophone, from which he extracts ] o lie, better music than the " Redivivus " does from the 1 ",, 0 00 induces us to hope that he exercises his talents on 1 ; 01 re genu ine musical instrument. Greater variety an d ,, „ere/ classical music, with some of the wal tzes of Straus" will render these concerts all that can be desired. „ A MYSTERY.—An extraordinary ~, discoverlooo:t human remains has been made in Whixall 310 5, it ia Whitchurch, Shropshire.
