FESTIVAL AT WASHINGTON HALL
The Festival OF the Fourth Presbyts.
TiHn Church was well attended last
evening. The crowd was part of the
time very dense, and we saw many
visiting the tables, which were lavish
~ set out with cakes, candies and nick
nacks of all descriptions. The ladies
behind the tables had persuasive ,yay
about them, which to the male portion
of the crowd was altogether irresistible,
The consequence was that "A goodly sum
was secured for church purposes.
But while the tables, &c, were fault
less in arrangement, and elected the
wnrmest expressions of appreciation
from all present, very general regret
was expressed that the delightful mn
sic OF the Beethoven Yocalists was alb
sent. Had the Beethoven's been there
there would have been nothing left for
any one 80 desire.

standing reached as to their future policy,
on the subject of reconstruction. Their
conclusion was that it was requisite for Con-
gress to speedily adopt some affirmative
policy of liberal character with which to
90 before the people. 1t was agreed that
the question of regulating suffrage must be
ignored by Congress and left to the people
of the States to decide. A third point of
policy decided upon, was the admission Of
the State of Tennessee. This action, by
so important body as the New York dele
cation, is of great significance, as indicating
a disposition to recede from extreme meas
ures.
The admission of Colorado as a State still
hangs fire. The bill will probably pass and
receive the Presidents Veto The dificul.
ty in the way is that the Constitution Of
the State prohibits negro suffrage Con-
gress proposes to remodel this instrument
and admit the State upon principles of uni.
versal suffrage.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The complications between Prussia and
Austria, seem to thicken. The seizure of
the Duchies of Schleswig. Holstien, from
Denmark by these two powers, is now the
basis of the quarrel Prussia claims the
whole of the spoils, and Austria claims an
equitable division of the plundered terrific
ry. The public sympathy is with Austria
in the matter, and the course Ol the Prus
sian Government is regarded as rapacious
and aggressive.
The probabilities of war upon the issue
are very strong. Each party is concentra'
ting it's forces upon its frontiers, and inter.
changing spiteful communications. Each,
however, says it does not intend to begin
the attack, and this fear to assume the
dreadful responsibility of the aggressor,
may possibly avert the impending calamity.
Europe is seriously disturbed by this quar-
rel, and the principal powers have addressed
notes to the beligerents, deprecating the
haste and bad feeling manifested by each,
and solemnly protesting against the power
who shall first break the peace The in.
fuence of these representations it is stbought
will prove wholesome.
France and Italy are also preparing to
take sides in the struggle if it should COM
nence. The excitement iu Paris ION this
cause, is said to be greater than has existed
for years. Italy hopes to avail herself of
this opportunity to join the assailants and
release her remaining provinces from the
yoke of Austria and France declares Of
ficiallJ, that if the war is begun, she can
not maintain her neutrality between the
parties The uneasiuess of trade, the de.
pressicn in the cotton market, and the high
prices of foreign fabrics and breadstuffs,
have been brought about by this contem.
plated feast of blood in the far away val.

past, has been the prominent battle field
of Europe. It's grassy plains have drank

FRANCE AND MEXICO.

fhANCE AMI mHA1SS.
Since the close of our unhappy war, the
United States Government has addressed
itself to the task of disarming the French
Intervention in Mexico. MACMILLAN, an
Austrian Duke, deposed Of his own princi-
pality in Europe, was couple of years
ago, placed on the Mexican throne BY Ma
PoLEoN the III, and his authority support
ed by French troops This act being in
violation of American policy to admit the
control of foreign powers on American soil,
the United States entered serious protests
against the usurpation. A lengthy and
somewhat unfriendly correspondence be-
tween the French and United States Gov
ernments, has been conducted for the past
twelve months upon this subject, with the
prospect at one time of involving both in
difficulties. The correspondence has at
length terminated by the courteous acqui-
escence on the part of NAPOLEON, to the
demands of the Government, announcing
that the French troops will be withdrawn
in three separate detachments, the first in
November 1866, and the last by November
1867. ~
This will leave the Government of MAX
IM1LIAN in Mexico resting upon the will
of the Mexican people. Its popularity will
then be put to its final test, and if upheld
aad strengthened by them, will settle the
unfortunate rule of faction that has so long
immersed her territory in the blood of civil
strife.
Austria, it is said, however, proposes to
lend her favorite cousin on the Mexican
throne, a few thousand bayoness to sup
port his dynasty, wien the French
shal, have abandoned him. Mr.. SEWARD
has addressed to FRANCIS JOSEPH an ener.
getic remonstrance against this liberality in
American affairs. 1t is quite probable that
with Prussia, France and Italy growing
upon her frontiers, Austria will find plenty
of service for her now idle troops, without
lending them to the Mexican Emperor
Altogether MAx's prospects are gloomy,
and combined effort of the Mexicans un-
der an able leadership, would easily result
in deposing him from his usurped throne,
if they should so will it.

BUTLER.

While the notorious BUTLER was in
COMMAND of New Orleans after its fall, he
managed to steal $4,000 in gold from
SAM'L SMITH & Co., Bankers, of that city.
A few months ago these gentlemen suspect:
ing that the money had found its way to-
wards the U. S. Treasury no farther than
Buffers pockets, decided to try the vir,
tue of legal proceedings to recover this
sum. The demand was made through an
attorney for ito restoration, and BEN fnd
ing himself clearly caught in his rascalitg,
magnanimously comes forward and says that
the money has been "kept in his hands in
Massachusetts," ready to answer the de-.
mands of the owners, (Which, however, he
uever expected to be made). A clear "con'
fess" was all he could do, but endeavorS to
soften it by "military necessity" pleas that
are too stale to deceive now
