cnworth. L. :. Senator to fill the Caldwell
vacancy. Crozier is the attorney and con-
fidential friend Of Caldwell. and the all
ncuncement of the appointment is received
with great surprise. and is regarded As an
attempt Ia revive the Caldwell influence in
this State.
The Lcavcnw"rth Times says. in speak
ing Of the appointment Of Crozier. lie was
an active supporter Of Caldwell during the
notorious Senatorial canvass Of ~. and
subsequently Caliwcll's attorney before
the Senate Committee IN Privileges and

ticed but little Of late Years, having given
most of his time to the discharge Of his
duties as Cashier of the First National
Bank Of this city. CroZier's name headed
the list of Il number OF citizens inviting
Caldwell to become 4 candidate few weeks

labor has continued unremittingly night

1870 workmen discharged from the Yard
and some 80 others since were all taken
back. and it is probable orders may come
for the employment Of additional force.

officers to lc the finest ship in our navy.

For War Only if it is Unavoidable.

CHICAGO. November PA Washington
special says that it can now be stated with
certainty that the dispatches which have
latterly represented the Cabinet AS 4 unit
for war were incorrect, and the same is
true in regard t" those which represented
the President as DESTROYS for war. There
are at least two members Of the Cabinet
who do not believe we can make out legal
ease against Spain.
There has been considerable apprehension
here that Gen. Sickies may not bear himself
with that caution which the circumstances
demand. and by his manner may give UNI
necessary offence at critical point in the
negotiations.
Thus far the large majority If Congress
men who have arrived, arc opposed to the
idea Of war, and nearly all report that the
people in their districts have no desire to
return to war taxation and war prices.
Commercial men Of standing in New York
have made strong protest against running
the country into war. Altogether, there
il much more conservative feeling here on
the subject tonight than any time since the
roublc began.

Threatened Overthrow Of the CASTELAR,
Government

WASHINGTON. November 2,.--The first
intimation yesterday Of the probable change
in the administration in Spain. with Serrano
as Dictator. came through British official
sources. To-day the story is from another
quarter that the CASTELAR, government is to
be overtlrown by combination Of ruling
Spaniards. The plan is said to inclulc the
establishment Of Scrrano as Regent for the
young Duke Alfonso. Our Government
has 10 official advices on the subject, nor
does it consider the reports trustworthy.

TWO FAMOUS STEAMERS.
A Sketch Of the "Virginius" and TOR
nado."

A Sketch of the vireinius" and "Tor-
nado."
The steamer Virginius formerly called
the virgin), which has suddenly acquired
a CHASTITY notoriety, was built on the Clyde
in 1864. She was intended for blockade
runner, and when launched was reported to
he one Of the swiftcst vessels ever built,
her lines being most symmetrical and her
engines remarkably powerful for her size.
She is side. wheel iron ship Of about 400
tons measurement. After successful ca
resr in running our Southern blockade. she
was eventually captured at Mobile when
the Union forces took that city. Subse-
qucntly the Virgin was transferred by the
Naval Department to that Of the Revenue.
but was found unsuited for her work in that
department., an was, therefore, sold at anc-
ton to Isaac Roberts (son Of Marshal y.
Robcrts). In 1870 she was bought by
Cuban agents in New York, being deemed
an eligible vessel for blockadc-running,
not merely on account Of her great speed,
but on account Of her small draught Of wat
er-viz., only eight feet when loaded with
400 tons of cargo, which gave her unusual
facilities for running close in shore on the
Cuban coast.
THE LAST CAPTAIN OF THE vIRGyNIUs.
This gentleman was native Of Louisi-
ana, and during the late War made several
blockading trips as commander. He for
merly commanded the steamer Agnes. Mr..
Fry was well known South as an excellent
seaman and fearless man. He left New
York about four months ago on the steamer
Atlas for Kingston, Jamaica to take charge
Of the Virginius. He has recently been
living at Albany, New York.
A dispatch from the Captain-G General OF
Cuba to the Spanish Consul in New York
states that the number Of men captured on
the Virginius was III, exclusive Of the
crew.
THE TORNADO
Is a screw steamer, and was built in Great
Britain for a Confederate privatcer. She
was subsequently sold to the Peruvian
Government, but in 1865 was enlarged
by the Spanish Minister at the Court Of
St. James, and the British authorities
drcailing another Alabama, refused to le,
her proceed to sea. This was shortly be-
fore the capture Of the Chincla guano is
lands, OF the coast Of Peru, when Spaii
obtained 81, 0OO, 600 indemnity from Peru
! The Tornado mounts ten guns and is abOu,

Mr. EDMUND YATES.

After six months sojourn in this country, dur.
ing which, in his lecturng experiences, he has
travelled over more ground and seen more OF the
inner life OF our people than probably any English
author who has preceded him, MIR. Edmund Yates
returns to Europe In the Caabria on the 18th OF
March. That as a lecturer he has been completely
successful Is evidenced by the fact that the mana
gers OF the American Lecture Bureau, who have
acted as his agents, have offered to guarantee him
large sum for his services during the next season
but 1t is OF his social recognition that Mr. Yates
may be most proud. The best society IN New York
has been thrown open to him, he has been made
an honorary member OF all the principal clubs, and
has been the recipient OF series Of entertainments
specially arranged in his honor. Last week in
Montreal Mr.. Yates was the guest Of the tSt James
Club at dinner over which the Hon. Mr.. bunting
don, M. p, presided. few evenings since he was
entertained ut the Union Club In this city by sew
eral oil our magnates OF finance and leading legal
luminaries, and on the Sth OF March grand BAN
quet will be given to him by his brother members
OF the Lotus Club at which some OF our distin-
gushed Hteratt are expected to be present.

Mrs. Frances NJ Carter's literary and musical en-
tertainment and sotree dansante at As Park avenue
Monday evening, was attended by q fashionable
and full dress audience, and was much enjoyed
The attraction OF the evening, with the exception
perhaps, OF the dancing was Mrs. Car
ter's Rotations Of the "Brides of En-
Derry" tho 'Old Sergeant San Irish
Letter." and a humorous Irish piece,
done In capital and very amusing brogue. With a
little stage training Mrs. Carter might, II she de-
sired, take the place of Mrs. Barney Williams as
good representative Of Irish Character. In the
timental pieces she shows good deal Of dramatic
feeling and power. 1t will not be ont OF place,
however to suggest to this lady that there s as
much eloquence in pause as in expression, and
sometimes more. The defect in almost all readers
Is the disregard OF that, in too rapid an enuncia
ton and in the mopotsle. The model OF eloquence
Is Janauschek, who, IN her pauses and striking atti
tudes, at the same time expresses more than in a
whole paragraph Of recitation. The entertainment
was aided by some good playing on the pianoforte
by Mr. Alfred Pease and by the pleasing ballad sing
ing and playing Of Mrs. Imogene Brown. Mrs.
Carter Ia q society lady, and her friends rally
around her on such an occasion as this, and, &C
cording to the announcement on the programme,
they will have an opportunity of doing so again at
the same place next Monday evening.

sculptor. Two years ago he went thither and
began the elaboration Of design which he called

her contributions to Vienna's exhibition.
