Our DISPATCHES FROM EUROPE BY MAIL
The European mail of the I4th of May was
delivered at this port yesterday morning. Our
advices come in interesting illustration of our
cable news kilograms to that day, besides sup
plying very considerable amount of original
matter. England, Ireland and Rome remained
particularly agitated on the educational and re-
ligious questions. The Emperor of France was
in most genial social mood, and chatted quite
freely on the subject Of the result and effect of
the pIe0iseit,sna after dinner at the Tuileries.
Russia had a most alarming sensation by the
deliberate murder OF Prince Louis of Arenberg
in St. Petersburg. England was Mortified by
the commission Of a double murder near Chel-
sea. The North German and Austrian demo-
cratic journals were very complimentary both
TO the French democracy and Napoleon on the
French vote of tho ple5iscitun. The Right
Hon. John Bright being invalided in
health, and forbidden to read by his medical
attendants, employed himself In knitting gar
ters Ia fact which may, perhaps, be accepted
as an initiatory profession Of his political ten
dencies on the woman's rights question.

LIGHT FOR THE Peoples FROM THE Fast
From the East, by way OF Geneva and the
mail from London, we have streak of dawn
Ing light. A newspaper has been established
In the Lutheran centre entitled Regolutson, the
organ of the Mussulman democracy. This
new journal claims that the principle Of the
assertion Of the cause Of the peoples of the
world comes from the East, and that Islsmism
Is the fountain spring and well centre of rad
cal revolutionism, and has been the guardian
Of the Light Of revolution for the entire earth.

THE CANADIANS CLEARING OUT.--We have
reports In the Montreal papers that there are
between two and three thousand vacant dwell
ings in that city, indicating decrease Of
population to the number Of ten or fifteen
thousand. In short, the Canadians are rapidly
leaving the Dominion for the United States.
Over two thousand French Canadians left
Bonayentura station in one batch for the
United States. Perhaps this evacuation Of
Canada by the Canadians may account for the
Fenians going in.

The orchestra Of the Academy Of Music, composed
mostly Of the Philharmonic Society, and under the
direction OF Mr.. p. GLORIA, serenaded Mr. Brlgnoli
last night, after the performance Of the opera was
over, at the Everett House. The orchestra performed
In the open air the symphony from "Gazza Ladra,s
by Rosslni; the '5aiiors Dream," by Brlgnoli. and
the grand march from the "Prophetc" !" by MeJerbeer

to the recent race, comedies the great change
for the better in the construction of English
yachts that was forced by the victory OF the

THE DOMINICAN TREATY.--The friends OF
the measure looking forward to the annexation
Of the republic of st. Domingo to the United
States are working like beavers to accomplish
their ends. The President still manifests the
same desire as ever to secure favorable con-
ederation Of the treaty by those who are
opposed to the acquisition Of this valuable
country. 1t now appears that, among other
reasons, the cause why Spain looks with such
disfavor on the United States coming into pos
session of st. Domingo is owing to the fact of
certain claims which it is said the Dominican
government has against the Spaniards. But,
aside from this, Spain knows that, with st.
Domingo an American State or Territory, tho
Independence OF the annexation OF Cuba would
bs simply matter Of time. This would be suf-
ficient cause to generate Spanish influence in
opposition to Dominican acquisition. If vs

FosrER's PLAN.--Mr. Stephen s. Foster
says he ''will unite with any hundred resolute
men in Massachusetts in declining to pay tax
until their wives and daughters can vote. He
tried IT seven years and was not troubled. :"
This, then, is evidently one way in which agi-
taiion pays. Foster has "tried il for seven
years." and apparently on different pretexts.
Whatever the State of Massachusetts does that
be objects to he refuses TO pay his taxes till
the evil is remedied. The evil is never RENE
died, and he never pays bis taxes. So far as
relates TO the individual this is perhaps not q
bad plan; but where, then, are oil the tax
gatherersf Or is II that this Stephen, like
many another agitator, simply has no taxable
substance, and SO makes very cheap boast of
his devotion2

THE DUELLo IN WASHINGTON. N.---The dueIlist
of the period is not above Bob Acres little
game. In the late affair between MAJOR
Hutchins, plucky little New Hampshire man
from Georgia, and Colonel Quintius Curtius
Washington, who is obviously virginian of
the very best family, the duel didn't come of,
though Hutchins wrote the challenge, and,
like Paddy's post, delivered it himself. The
exact reason why the fight fell through is stated
by Colonel Wsshington's friends to be that the
thing was not done up according to the code.
Of course no gentleman Of Southern proclivi-
ties, especially first family virginian, would
cut up an enemy or be cut up by him except
remember that Pryor thoughtfully objected to
Potters big butcher knife on the same ground.
If Mr.. Hutchins, who Is four feet and half
high, really intends to bore bullet holes
through SO chivalric and punctilous gen
tleman as Colonel Washington, who is at least
six feet high, he must send his challenge by a
regularly accredited second and allow mar
gin for the difference in the size of the targets

The negroes of the French colony OF Mar
Unique, on learning OF the war in France, and
thinking, possibly, that the opportune time
had arrived for them to make strike for
liberty, undertook rising on the 22d ult.,
and commenced the establishment of their
freedom on foundation of fifty burning plan
tations and the murder of possibly as many
people This, for a commencement, shows
the fierce and bloody spirit which animates
these misguided people. Led on by leaders
who have mere than once before been engaged
in movements calculated to disturb the peace
of the island, the negroes have again been
melted by the same ill advisers to desperate
acts Of murder and the destruction of pro-
perty. On such basis they are going to
raise the republic. With Hayti as model,
taking it for granted that they may. be snc-
cessful in their present attempt, the colored
Inhabitants Of Martinique will have all the
occupation they desire in risings, revolutions,
changes Of President, ousting of ministers,
making Of generals and all the usual disturb
ances which characterize peoples who have
not the most remote or intelligent ideas OF the
true meaning of republicanism and who are
wont to associate the freedom of crime with
their ideas Of liberty.

The TRIAL or THOMAS JACKSON for the
shooting Of Archibald Douglas is to take place
on Monday. This case had almost escaped
the public memory. 1t occurred as long ago
as last October and was in every sense Of the
word cold-blooded political murder. A
democratic coroner and democratic coroner's
jury discharged Jackson on the ground that
the murder was committed partly in self
defence, when the facts as set forth in evil
dence showed that the deceased was shot in
the back while running away from his MUIR
derer. We recall these facts now because
they offer food for suggestions. Is it not time
that our political killers and slayers, who
depend on their ward influence for immunity,
were given warning, as well as our political
burglars and housebreakers, who have been
sent up lately for long terms, without regard

The Philadelphia Election Riot.

AT the late election in Philadelphia q riot
occurred, produced by what is supposed to
have been the enragcd sensbilities of Billy
McMullen and John Nolen at the presence OF
federal bayonets at the polls Of free and
enlightened voters. McMullen and Nolen are
Of that tribe Of free electors who always
inhabit the scum districts of great cities, and
in order to show their love of the great fran
chise that has been vouchsafed them ia this
country they vote as often as possible on each
election day, and teach their neighbors and
their ''pals" to do the same. The pre-
sence Of grim federal soldiers at the polling
places has cut short these pleasant and
lucrative occupations of Messrs. Nolen and
McMullen, and with their occupation gone
life is gone. A determined resistance was
made to the encroachments of federal bayonets.
an open opposition was presented to the
enforcement Of the laws, and in the melee
which followed John Nolen fell dead, killed by
a pistol shot. Some excitement ensued, but
the presence of the soldiers kept it within
bounds. Mr.. w. B. Mann, ex-Dstrict Attor-
ney and republican, was arrested, charged
with having abetted the murder, but on the
evidence yesterday was Internationally dis
charged. Mr.. Alexander Crawford, one OF
the return Judges, was also arrested, but no
was discharged on the ground that the
Not was fred in self-defcnce. Our own
rNughs at home, it is to be hoped, will
leArn from this Incident that the laws Of Con-
grNss are to be enforced. They must avoid
repeating at the election next month They
will not be held any more sacred here than
they were in Philadelphia, and notwithstand-
ing she holy horror with which they may
observe tho sacrilegious presence Of the
soldiFy at free polling places, they have the
satisfaction Of knowing that they brought them
there, md that it is to curtail the power for
evil ofjust such fellows as themselves that
they ate there.

THE PROCLAMATION OF THE MAYOR. -
Mayor Hall has issued a proclamation set
ting forth that whereas question of the legal
ity Of the registration to-day has been raised
by the federal officers he would recommend
a closing of the registration rolls to-day and
an adjournment until the days when the lists
are to be revised. We can hardly see that
the federal authorities have any such serious
argument to offer against the legality of regis
tration to-day that Mayor Hall need
to have issued any proclamation in
reference to the matter; but its issuance GER
tainly evinces highly commendable desire to
conform to the spirit Of law which is sup
posed to be SO very obnoxious to the party Of
which the Mayor is leading light. The
registration yesterday in this city aggregated
So, Ago votes-an excess by twenty thousand
over the number registered on the first day Of
registration last year. There are, however,
larger number still unregistered, and the post
ponement of registration over to-day will I'M
doubleday seriously affect the result.

he ever entertain party of political magnates
