mium of good reputation is constantly
accorded it. Viewing tho article ouly
in its 0Ashcs through the Bhole. we were
scarcely prepared to realize its brilliancy
on the rostrum of the lecture room. How.
over that is the fact, and tho success of
Petroleum as lecturer, is established
beyond controversy. Tho following from
tho Chicago papers VIII speak to that
point The NiJuae thus speaks of il:

lccurea last evening to u full house before
tho Young Mems Association, in Library
Hall This well.known humor,st whose
hits at tho Democracy have been laughed
over throughout the country is modest
appearing man, of about thirty.hve, who
prcGors to talk with his pom rather than
with his tongue, and never made n public
appearance until this winter Although
his lecture differed from his letters in.con.
forming to tho ordinary rules of orthogra-
ply, the violation Of which is supposed by
somo to be ono of tho strong points OF
tho Nasby ctluSions, it had enough OF wit
and humor TO call forth almost continuous
bursts of laughter and applause from the
audience, while containing n plenty of good
sense and sound advice. The attention
which followed the serious portions as well
as tho amusement which tho witticisms
provoked, proved TO boa popular success.
The subject was announced as Cursed
be Canaan" aud tho point of tho lecture
was hit at tho Democracy in their con,
nection with the negro, aud plea for i'm
partial suffrage"
The 1ifbmo then gives report Of the
lecture, nearly q column in length, aud con,
cludes as follows:
The lecture was ono Of the most eutcr
tanning that has been listened to in Chicago
without reference to it's high moral value
aud in point of instructiveucss is worthy
TO take rank with any effort made IN the

Tho Republic1a has the following notice
of the lecture, Introductory to a rcpor

ALBANY May 1, 1863.
The canal quarrel led TO a very warm interchange
OF compliments in the Senate this morning. Senator
Stanford, who was elected the platform OF oppo-
stion to the present system OF canal contracts, Bit
terly denounced those who had defeated his bill
to abolish the Canal Contracting Board, and
charged that their hostility was due to the
corrupt influences of the lobby. 1t will be
remembered that the republicans under the oper-
alton OF resolution, voted as n body against
the bill Had the affair transpred in the City Hall
there would very probably have been some lnksands
set In motion.
The bill for the submission of the revised consttu-
tion was under consideration in the Senate to-day
but Its opponents hllibustered and STAYED OF action
on II.
The bill relative to emgrsnts CARRYING at and
departing from the city OF New York" was passed
to-day In the Senate, with an amendment providing
that nothing contained in the bill shall prevent any
railroad company from selling tickets 10 any persons
at the rate OF fare charged FOR nrst class passen
gers, nor from selling tickets at the principal ticket
Offices OF said company to emigrants and other Sec
ond class passengers, provided that the SAID com
pany has ut the same time an agent VINO snall sell
tickets at The place designated by said companies for
selling tickets to emigrants. The commissioners OF
Emigration shall permit every railroad company Oh
this State desiring such privilege to have an agent
at each and every place designated by them to
sell to emigrants and other second class
but II any such agent shall be found by the SAID
Commissioners 10 have been guilty, at any time
while acting an agent, Of defrauding emigrants,
or Of any other wrongful or dsgracemi conduct they
shall exclude such agent and 1t shall be the duty OF
the railroad company to appoint another sucn 10

currence In the amendments.

THE Cry TAX LEvY.-The tax levy, which
appropriates twenty-four millions of dollars for
the expenses of the city government, has been
passed in the Assembly, considerable ad-
vance upon the sum required last year. A
few of the items provided for out of the multi
tude included in the bill may be interesting:-
Advertising for the Common Council and city gov.
eminent, $4,000; aqueduct repairs and improve
ments, $S0,0O0; alterations Of aqueduct $4,000;
charges on arrears OF assessments 81 500; charges
arrears Of taxes $1,000; cleaning streets under
contract the sum OF si9S 800 and the sum OF So 1876
for contingent expenses OF the commission and
$4,000 for annual compensation OF the Commission
ers; cleaning markets, $4,000.
A provision is also made for raising the sala-
ries of the Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, Comp
troller, President of the Board of Health and
City Chamberlain. hundred thousand dol
lars is set apart for the twelve public dispense
ries of the city. This, in the aggregate, is a
pretty heavy levy upon the taxable property Of
the city but Notwithstanding the cutlery of the
radical journals it is fact that nearly two mil
lions of the increase since last year is to be
charged to the State tax, and is attributable to
the expensive commissions inaugurated at
Albany.

sailors.
We perceive that resolution has been intro
duced into the House of Representatives re-
questing the Secretary of the Navy TO furnish
list Of vessels and property captured or de-
stroyed by the navy Of the United States during
the war, with the disposition made of each cap
ture and the cause Of delay of payment Of
prize money to the parties in accordance with
existing laws. This isa movement in the right
direction. The delay in the payment of the prize
money honestly earned and fully due to our gal
liant naval officers and sailors is anything but
honorable to the Navy Department, and not at
all calculated to impress the rewards of the SER
vice favorably upon the public mind The with
holding of this money has been source of no
little disappointment and suffering among the
families of many in the service of different
grades Calculating upon the promptitude Of
the government in settling these claims-just
and proper as any ever made upon the public
trcasury--both officers and men have been led
10 encumber themselves with Indebtedness. until
at this late day they are left almost in despair
of ever realizing anything whatever from
them. This should not be. The government
clearly owes the money for hardy services rem
dered. ard the demands of the claimants should
be met and settled without unnecessary delay.

A Cabinet Crisis In EnsIand-,Ir. DisraeIi
Asnin Defeated.
The highly important debate which has been
progressing in the British House of Commons,
in committee, for some evenings past on the
subject of the formal adoption, in word and
principle, of the first Of Mr.. Gladstone's three
resolutions for effecting the disendowment Of
the Irish Church, and the severance Of the
connection existing between that establish
ment and the State, was brought to q
close yesterday morning, and eventu-
ated in the defeat of Mr.. Disraeli by o
majority Of sixty-nve the hostile vote being
increased by six members since the
division had before Easter, notwithstanding
the fact that government gained three seats
by elections in the meantime. Parliament has
accepted the Gladstone resolve, which we pub
lish in our news columns, solemnly reaffirmed
its position in favor Of voluntaryism and free
dom Of conscience in Great Britain, and thus
brought the quasi Cabinet interregnum which
was inaugurated by its first vote into the very
serious condition of ministerial crisis, the
solution of which rests with the Crown.
Mr.. Disraeli FASTENED from London TO Os-
borne TO consult with the executive in the
emergency, and II may be said with truth Chat
at no previous period Of her reign did Queen
Victoria stand more in need of The advice of
an able and honest counsellor. The people,

through their representatives. in the House
of Commons, have assured her that
the cause of healthful democratic progress
cannot be arrested by political intrigue, and
that the chief adviser of the monarchy Is not
acceptable to the nation. A change OF Minis
ters becomes almost necessity OF the State Id
consequence, and the appearance OF even an
effort on the part of the Queen to avoid such
necessity may prove dangerous by provoking
the "deplorable collision to which Earl
Russell has alluded in the English House
of Lords. : 1t is very probable therefore,
that her Majesty win accept the situation,
and that Mr.. Disraeli will resign the great seal
of Office into her hands He may try disso-
luton, but can hardly be benefited by general
election. The Premier will not be likely to
suggest ministerial reconstruction, for his
own advent to power has only just been
effected by an official movement of that sort
in the retirement of Earl Derby, and repe-
tition of it would scarcely be tolerated.
new man is evidently required, and the
Queen may send for Mr.. Gladstone. The
leader of the opposition is an accomplished
scholar, polished and close political logician,
and possesses considerable Cabinet experience;
but it is question if he has sufficient weight
and grasp of intellect to direct the affairs
of Britain at such moment. If cordially
supported by the Clarendon Russell party in
the House Of Lords, the Nonconformists and
radicals Of Scotland and England, and the
Gath 1iooo nd INF Ia IF Tro1an in
the House Of Commons, Mr. Gladstone would
be able to form an efficient Ministry, and could
wait the eventful issue of the first election
under the Reform bill with hope of continuance
in Office. He will need all this support how
ever, and If it is not accorded to him the
people must themselves either indicate new
Premier to the Queen or change their opinion
of Mr.. Disraeli at the hastings during a
general election.
Mr.. Disraeli's elevation to Office proclaimed
mission Of power by aristocratic inheritance in
England and the near advent Of q new one in
which the people will manage their own affairs,
in accord with the Grown, for the general good
In this view we thought very well of Mr.. Dis
raeli, knowing the tenacty of purpose which
his people possess and the grand traditions O.
rule which they cherish. 1t looks, however
just now, as if he is scarcely adequate to the
occasion. Instead of taking lessons in wisdom
from Solomon, and initiating the magnanimity
and fine sentiment of David, the Premier
descends to the Parliamentary shifts of a great
''Popish plot" and the frequent use of persona
invective SO that it appears as if he guides
himself more closely by the very equivoca
morality of Jacob in his attempt to retain thu
''blessing" 1t is to be hoped that Queer
Victoria will not be made the Rebecca to dis
guise him.
