Being very cheap, (only 30 cents a box,) they commend themselves to_ the eco- nomical as well as the more indifferent. Being coated with gum so as to be tasteless, they are the favorites of the delicate and fastidious, as well as of those whose palates are not so discriminating or partieular.

Mr. Wilson has introduced into the Senate sundry remarkable propositions in the form of a joint reso- lution, looking to the admission of representatives to Congress from late rebel States on conditions which abrogate all distinctions in regard to color. A resolution has been offered inthe House, provid- ing for an increase of one hundred and fifty per cent, in the rates of the present tariff for the next one hundred and fifty days, exempting however from those rates, books and printing paper. Tennessee has at length a chance to come into Con- gress on a jointresolution offered by Mr. Bingham, which", however, recognizes among other stringent preliminaries, the right of the General Government to prescribe who shall enjoy the right of the elective franchise.

Robin*ry and flurder ?An Atrot J Jns Affair ?A Man Murdered by Robber*?Tivo Ac* grocs and a White Man tlie Criminal*? Particular* of the Case. On Saturday night,between ten and eleven o'clock, a young man named ilenry Balse was murdered while .attempting to prevent a robbery at a bouse on what is known as the Eckington farm, the estate of the late Mr. Joseph Gales. Coroner Woodward sum- moned a jury yesterday to inquire in f o the particu- lars of the affair. John W. Cord, Mrs. J. W. Cord. Jefferson Oxley, James Carney, Dr. Thos. C. Smith, and Dr. Edwards were examined as witnesses, and from their testimony it appeared that the circum- stances were about as follows: Mr. John W. Cord, a dairyman, is the tenant of a house on the Eckington (or Gales) farm, near Glen- wood Cemetery. On Saturday night, shortly after 9 o'clock, he observed two negroes and a white man near his cow stable, and asked them what they were doing there. They replied that they were looking for a cow belonging to a Mr. Brown. Mr. Cord re- marked thjt the hour chosen was a queer one, ami they then went off. They returned shortly after 1') o'clock, and rapped at the door of Mr. Cord's house, and demanded admission. Mr. C. refused to open the door, when the robbers threatened to force an entrance, and upon his persisting inhis refusal to open, they pried the door open with a jimmy. The jimmy was found yesterday morning, and it had a leather strap fastened to it. indicating that it was intended for use as a slung shot as weil as a jimmy. The robbers then entered the house, and one of the colored men seized Mr.Cord by the throat, at ihe same time striking him across the nose with a pistol, while the other negro and a whito man proceeded to an ad- joiningroom, and ransacking a chest of drawers, ; stole therefrom ten or twelve dollars, mostly in pen- j nies. Meanwhile, Mr. Cord, addressing one of his children in German, directed her to go for assist- aiTho child got out of the back door unobserved by rnb.' x ers, and went to the house of Mr. Oxley, about four \ ° r<*B northeast of Mr. Cord's residence.

Balse stepped upon the porch, whan the white robber inside said to one of the negroes, "Shoot the The negro obeyed, and after the shot had been fired Balse ran from the house, the robbers coming out at the same time and running toward the south. Mr. Oxley \ j struck at the white robber witha stick as he ran past: j and the latter turned and fired two shots, neither of which, however, took effect. The robbers then mado their escape, and no clue as to who they were has yet been obtained. The per- sons residing on the place instituted an immediate search for Mr. Balse, but, failing tofind him, they concluded that he had either followed the robbers into the city to give the alarm to the police, or that he had been slightly wounded and had gone into the city for relief. At daylight, however, tho search was renewed, and. by marks of blood, they tracked Mr. Balse to a fence corner between Mr. Cord's house and that of Mr. Oxley. When found he still grasped his pistol in his hand, and was on his knees his po- sition indicating clearly that he had died as he was attempting crawl through the fence on his way to Mr. Oxley's. SIS having taken an unfrequented path was the reason u? was found during the night search. An examination showed that the ball ot the mur- derer had penetrated the right groin ftud cut the femoral artery; and inthe opinion of the physlmftps, death must, have ensued in about ten minutes after the infliction of the wound. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts, and found that death resulted from the wound inflicted by the said robber or robbers, who were unknown. A small amount of money was found upon the deceased, and other money and personal effects, to the value of several hundred dollars, were found in his room. These were turned over to Mr. James Carney, the partner of the deceased, until his friends, who are supposed to reside inLancaster, Pa., shall have been notified of the tragic occurrence. Henry Balse, the deceased, was a young man about twcnt v"^ our or twenty-five years of age. He was of French parentage, and served in some capacity in the Crimean war. Coming to this country, he went to Lancaster. Pennsylvania, and enlisted in the twelfth regiment Veteran Reserves. At the second battle of Bull Run be wounded inthe hand and sent to Trinity Hospital, in J.Ws city, and upon the breaking UP of that hospital he... transferred to Finley Hos- pital. assigned to duty first aa a hospital commissary and subsequently as hospital steward, .® ln p e his dis- charge from the service he has been in busin^! 9 w -,. Mr. Crrney. and has boarded at Mr. Oxley's. Hi. friends gave him a very excellent character, and speak of him in the most exalted terms. Among his papers were found certificates of merit and character from a number of gentlemen, and among them one from Dr. Richard Pancoast. late surgeon in charge of Finley Hospital,.who speaks of Mr Balse as a man of honest and upright character, and one deserving of confidence. Dr. Pancoast, as well as many other gentlemen, called to see the re- mains of Mr. Balse yesterday and expressed much sorrow at his untimely end. There is no clue to the robbers and murderers, but it is an old and true adage that "Murder will out, and the infamous per- petrators of this deed will no doubt yet be brought to Joitiee,?/Taiwan/ UTEST mm mi TO THE DAILY COMMERCIAL. Pennsylvania lieinoerntic Convention, IIARRISHURG. March s.?The Democratic S'ate Convonl ion met this afternoon. Hon. W. Hopkins, of Washington county, was elected permanent presi- dent. He spoke of the probable prospects of the Democratic party in influencing the speedy restora- tion of the Union, and opposing the doctrine of negie equality which becomes the characteristic feature of the Republican party. A committee on resolu- tions was appointed, and the Convention took a rocess till7 o'clock. The Convention reassembled at" o'clock, when the Committee on Resolutions submitted the following, which wcro unanimously adopted: That the Democracy of Pennsylvania, in conven- tion, recognizing a crisis in the affairs of the Repub- lic. aud esteeming the immediate restoration of the Union to bo paramount to all other issues, do resolve: First?that the States, whereof, the people were late- ly inrebellion, are integral parts of the Union, enti- tled to representation in Congress by men duly elect- ed, who bear true faith to the Constitution and the laws; and in order to vindicate the maxim that tax- ation without representation is tyranny, such representation fhould be forthwith admitted. Second?That the faith of the Republic is pledged to the payment of the National debt, and Congress should pass all laws necessary for that purpose. Third?That we owe obedience to the Constitution of the United States, including the amendment prohib- iting slavery, and under its provisions will accord to those emancipated, all their rights of person and pro- perty. Fourth?That eacli State has exclusive right to regulate the qualification of its own citizens. Fifth ?That the white race aione is entitled to the con trol of the Government of the Republic, and wc are unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote. Sixth ?That the hold enunciation of the principles of the Constitution and the policy of restoration con- t incd in tho recent annual and the voto message of President Johnson, entitle him to the confidence and support of all who respect the Constitution and love their country. Seventh?That tho nation owes to tho bravo men of our armr \u25a0-a ...y a debt of lasting gratilude for their heroic services in defence of the ConUitufion and the Union, aud that while we cher- ish tender affection to the memory of the fallen, wo pledge to their widows and orphans the nnt ion's care and protection. Eighth?That wc urge upon Con- gress tho duty of equalizing the bounties of our sol- diers and sailors. The Convention then balloted for a candidate for Governor, when 11. Cliuier was nominated on the 4th ballot. Resolutions were adopted returning the thanks Of the Democracy of Pennsylvania to our Senators and members of Congress who have supported the Presi- dent's restoration policy. Secrelary Kenned on Recoiisirnetiois. WASHINGTON, March 4.?ln a conversation yester- day, with a leading member of the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation, Secretary Seward brought up the question of reconstruction, and was very se- vere upon Congress for their refusal to admit the Southern delegations. The member thought that after four years of a rebellion that had taken mil- lions of armed men to suppress, and entailed upon us a debt of three thousand millions of dollars, it was the duty of Congress to patiently examine into the question of whether tho same men were ina fit condition to be again intrusted with tho poiitica! power of this Government; that no rebel should ever have a seat in Congress with his consent; that the policy of tho President was lamentable, as it would prove a positive injuryto the SoutH. Mr. Seward replied, with a great deal of warmth, that tho policy was that which Mr. Lincoln had adopted, and was carrying it out when he died, and that Mr. Johnson was merely continuing it; that the people of a'l parties would sustain it, and there was not a rebel to-day in the whole country, and ho should not use the word. Mr. Seward is in favor of the admission of the entire body of Southern mem- bers, just as they are, and of the repeal of the test oath.

Tho Supremo Court of the United States to-day dc- ?*ded tho case of the ship Cheshire, etc., appel- -1 nit. against the United States, on an appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the North- em District of New York. The Court held that the shin and cargo were rightly condemned by the Court below; and that although the vesssel was loaded at Liverpool, and the destination professed to bo Nas- sau, the intention to break the blockade was to be presumed from the place and circumstances of the capture. It had been uniformly dupided that a ves- sel, as in this case, is not permitted to go to the mouth of a river under plea of making inquiry as to the continuation of tho blockade, as the fact was known previous to the sailing. The Court said there was prima facia evidence of an inteution to runj the blockade. RIGHTS OF MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. The Court delivered an opinion on an appeal from lowa, reaffirming the one heretofore pronounced, that a county or municipal corporation has no inher- ent. power to subscribe for railroad stock. They can exercise no such power, unless express authority bo given by the Legislature for that purpose. INTERCOURSE WITII INDIAN TRLIES. Two cases, one from Michigan and thr other from Minn esotn, were decided. They relate to intercourse with the Indian tribes, and involved the legality of tho selling of spirituous liquors to Indians. Tho Acts of Congress of 1532 and 18fi2, prohibiting such sales, were for their better protection. Tho Court affirmed the laws as warranted by the clause in the Constitution giving Cougress power to regu a'e commerce with t.be Indian tribes. An important treaty between the Creek nation tvaß signed on Saturday afternoon at the office of In- dian affairs. The Creeks, among other important stipulations, cede the west half of their large domain and admit there emancipated negroes to equal and civil rights, convey the rights of way to construct a railroad through their country, and also agree to such legislation on a the part of Congress as may be necessary to establish a jndic.al system inthe Indian Territory, and a general council withdefined legisla- tive powers, composed of delegates from each nation. A new treaty has also been consummated between the United States and tho Shawnee nation of Kansas, Their principal chief, Charles Bluejacket, headed the delegation. Treaties are also being prepaied, and will soon bo with the Cherohes, Choc- taws, Chickasaws, Seminoles and two bands of tho Chippewas of Lake Superior, the Boisfort band, and those of the Lac du Flambeau. A report received by tho Commissioner of Indian Affairs from Superintendent Leiby, of Arizona, gives an account of his recent visit to Pre-cott, in his superintendency. Captain Ledyard. of the Sec- ond California Volunteers, with thirty-five men end thirty-five days rations, were sent out to bring in certain Chiefs of hostile bands belonging to the Apache. Captain Ledyard and his men suffered great, privations in the course of their march, having tor eleven days been obliged to subsist on horse and mule meat. They returned without meeting tho In- dians. . Superintendent Leiby mentioned many depreda- tions and murders by bands oft e Navajo in that vi- ! canity, and recommend as tho only remedy, that they ? ; c piaced on a reservation, and that the commanding ; general of the department and the Superintendent or Indian Affairs, be supplied withpower to enforce the intercourse act.

ID-said the Constitution made the Senate the judge of the qualificati< ns. Ac., of its own members. It was tiiis position lie had main- tained, and if he had been demolished, so had tho Con- stitution. His colleague had gone so f.r as tosay that theScs ate might admit members from UpperCauadu. Mr. Doolittle said, that he had simply asserted that if this body saw proper to admit two Senators from Upper Canada, no interference could take place. What could the House do about it? v\ hat could the President. He had made that point in endeavoring to show that the Senate in determining upon the qual- ifications of its own members, could not be limited by the action of the House, or the will of the President, lie had expressly said, that to admit Senators from Canada would be revolutionary, but it could not be prevented. MR. WILSON'S JOINT RESOLUTION. The morning hour having expired, tho joint reso- lution fixing the basis of representation was taken up.

Mr. Stevens also offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury fur a statement of all money in tho United States Treasury, including each amount on deposit with Assistant Treasurers, National Banks and ether United States depositaries. The Speaker here laid before the House a letter from Worth, of North Carolina, stating that North Carolina accepted tbo donation of public lands authorized by the act of 162, for the purpose of Agricultural Colleges. Mr. Stevens said he objected to the House receiv- ing the letter, for we could uot recognize at present any Governor from North Carolina. The House, therefore, refused to receive me letter by yeas 37, nays 100. TENNESSEE. Mr. Bingham, (Rep.) ot Ohio, from the Joint Com- mittee on Reconstruction, reported a joint resolution relating to the admission of Tennessee, accompanied by a memorial and the evidence taken by the sub- committee on that subject. He stated that he des red to have it read, ordered to be printed and then re- committed to the committee. He gave notice that he should report it back again at an early day, and asked its consideration by the House. The preamble and resolution were read, as follows; Resolved, by the Senate and of Representa- tives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled , That whereas, the people of Tennessee have made known to the Congress of the United States their desire that the Constitutional relations neret-fOr? 6XIBII n* between them the United States may be fully established, and that on the 22d day of February, 1365. by a large popular vote, adopt and ratify a constitution of government, repblican in form and not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States, and a State govern- ment has been organized under the provisions there- of. which said provisions and the laws passed in pursuance thereof, proclaim and denote royalty to the Union, and whereas the people of Tennessee are found to be in a condition to exercise the functions of a State within, this Union, and can only exercise the same by the consent of the law-making power of the United States; therefore the State of Tennessee is hereby declared to be one of the United States of America on an equal footing with the other States, upon the express condition that the people of Tennessee will maintain and en- force in good faith their existing Constitution and laws, excluding those who have been engaged inre- bellion against the United States from the exercise of the elective franchise for the respective periods of time therein provided for, and shall exclude the same persons for the like respective periods of time from eligibility to office; and the State of Tennessee shall never assume or pay any debt or obligation con- tracted or incurred in aid of the late rebellion, nor shall said State evlr in any manner claim from the United States, or make any allowance or compensa- tion for slaves emancipated or liberated in any wiiy whatever, wbioh conditions shall be ratified by the legislature of Tennessee or the people thereof, as the legislature may direct, before this act shall take effect. Mr. Bingbam moved that the testimony and me- morial also bo printed with the accompanying docu- ments. Mr. Brooks demanded the reading of the evidence. The breaker said the gentleman had a right to call for tuc reading. Mr. Stevens moved that the reading be dispensed with, and this was agreed to by a vote of the House. Mr. Rogers submitted a minority report, conclu- ding with tho following resolution a3 a substitute for the above: Resolved by the House of Representatives , That tho Representatives elect to Congre>s from the State of Tennessee be, and they are hereby, admitted to take their seats in this House as members thereof, upon their taking the oath prescribed by law. Mr. Washburne, (Rep.,) of Illinois, asked and ob- tained leave for himself and Mr. BoutweM. of Mass., to submit hereafter their views, which differed both from the majority and minority. Mr. Conkling, (Rep.,) of New York, suggested that any member of tho Joint Committee might have leave to submit his views. No objection was made. The House then agreed to the motion to print and recommit the preamble and resolution, which is all the majority report made. WEST POINT, On motion of Mr. Stevens, the House went into Committee of the Whole on the West Point Appro- priation bill. Without material amendment it was real arid agreed to, and laid aside to be reported to the House with a recommendation that it pass. The Committee of tho Whole then took up the bill making appropriations for the support of the army for the year ending June 30, 1867. . Among the amendments agreed to was one. reduc- ing the appropriation for commutation of officers' subsistence from two to one million of dollars, and increasing that for the transportation of troops from three to five millions of dollars. For pay of the army, ten millions seven hundred thousand dollars aro appropriate. , .The committee rose, and reported the West Point hill to the House, and pending a vote on its passage it was laid oyer until to-morrow. The army appro- priation bill was then taken UP as reported to tho House, and passed. At SP. M. adjourned. £ (TROPE. Ireland?Suspension of Habeas Corpus? Action of Parliament. SPEECH OF MR. BRIGHT. * ir Bright gaid that for moro than twenty-two years he had possessed a seat in the House, but he had never risen to address it under so strong a feel- ing of shame and humiliation as that which he felt himself oppressed by at the present moment. Tho Homo Secrctnry proposed now to deprive no inoon- sideraolc portion of the subjects of the Queen within the United Kingdom of the commonest, most pre- cious, and most sacred of the rights of the English Constitution?the right to their personal freedom. He dd not think the right honorable gentleman hau overstated tho case for the purpose of inducing tho House to consent to this proposition. On the contrary, Ireland, ever since the Union, had been a source of disquietude ami uneasiness to Her Majesty's Government. Indeed, ho believed that if the Gov- ernment could they would at once unmoor Ireland from her fastenings i the deep, and move her at least two thousand miles to tho west. ihe Irish people wore not naturally a criminal population. They had some of the best qualities pos- sessed by any portion ot the human race, and were ajways grateful for kindness bestowed upon them, i et, after sixty years of government by the Parlia- ment of thisrountry, we had them embittered against our rule, anxious only to throw off the authority of the crown and Queen of this realm. During tho lifetime of the oldest man in the House, Ireland had been in a chronic state of insurrection, and he be- lieved it was attributable almost entirely to mi-gov- ernment. _ Ever since the Union, although we had great ministers, there had been nothing done on the part of any one member of ihe government toward Ireland which history would hereafter describe ss statesmanship. He had no wish to speak disre- spectfully of men in office, it was r.or his custom in that House [great laughter], but ho thought that if the ministry and the 'eadiug members of the opposi- tion would unite in some measure for the benefit of Ireland, instead of spending all their time fighting tor office, they would be able to make Ireland a s urce of strength, and not of weakness, to this country. It was said that nothing "couhl be made of an Irishman in his own country, but everything could be made of liim in every country except his own. When he emigrated he was as industrious, as frugal, as independent, as loyal and as good a citizen of the American Kepnblic,as any man born within the do- minions of that power. They might put five hundred men in prison, and suppress the conspiracy, and put down the insurrection, but though it was suppressed t.iere would remain the germs of the malady, from which would grow up another crop and harvest of disaffection. There was a mode <>f making loyal, and it was the duty of Hie Government to discover that modo. He should not oppose the proposition of the Government, for he presumed the circumstances were such that the course about, to be pursued was perhaps tho most merciful course toward Ireland Ho called upon the Government to shake off the trammels of doubt, and to say something to Ireland that might give hope for the future. lie called upon the Government to wipe out this blot?the misgov- crnmeut of Ireland?for blot it was, and a scandal also to the civilization of the country. PROTEST FROM IRELAND. Mr. Dillon had no sympathy with Fenianism. On tho contrary, ho believed he was the onlv Irrih mem- ber who had to encounter the organized opposition of Fenianism at the hustings; but tho facility with which lie was able to meet it. and ultimately to con- quer it, bad ever since made him skeptical as to the formidable character of the movement, lie believed that the discontent, which it wa useless to deny did exist in Ireland, had been caused by misgovernmenU and the enactment of laws for class interests and against the general welfare of the people. For thin reason he, for one, would not aid tho Government in their efforts to quell this discontent. SPEECH OF MR. J. STUART MILL. Mr. J. S. Mill considerei that the occasion was one for deep grief and humiliation. If Ireland in former years had been the victim of inisgovernment, of late years there could he no doubt of the wish and desire upon both sides of the House to treat her in a liberal spirit; hut the question was, whether good inten- tions were enough, and what measures ought to be brought forward for removing tho grievances now complained of. EFFECT OF THE SUSPENSION IN IRELAND. After somo observations from Mr. Moore and Mr. 1 Connolly. Sir J. Gray defended the Catholic priests from the aspersion which had been cast upon them of being implicated in the conspiracy. On the contrary, the conspiracy had been denounced by :he priests, who had throughout given support to the cause of law and ord*r. The O'Donoghue was of opinion that if Govern- ment would declare that they would seriously inves- tigate the cause of disaffection, the Fenian move- ment would sink into insignificance. Coercion was not what Ireland required; it wou'd create panic and intensify disaffection, and ho believed that the ordi- nary constitutional power at the disposal <>f the Gov- ernment, if placed in the hands of men of nerve and judgment, would be i mply sufficient to meet any emergency that might arise. SPEECH OF MR. GLADSTONE, The Chancellor of the Exchequer believed no fal- lacy could be propagated in connection with the j present subject more dangerous in its character than ! the supposition that the proceedings in which tho j House was engaged were an appeal to a substantially I English Parliament to apply the hand of force to 1 Ireland. The evidence was universal that the Fenian conspiracy deserved condemnation and repression by all who claimed to represent authority, property and religion, and that in principle the measure proposed had their unanimous approval. The people of Ire- land were liable to he misguided and misled, and re- quired to be defended against themselves. RESULT OF THE DIVISION. The House then divided, when the numbers were ? for leave to bring in the bi11364: against 6. Majority, 358. Tho announcement of the number was received with laughter from all parts of the House. FRAME. THE MEXICANIMBROGLIO?ANGER OT THE FRENCH PRESS WITH MR. SEWARD. THE MEXICANDISPATCHES. r Paris (Feb. 15) correspondence Loudon Globe ] This Government calculates or the arrival in Paris by the 25th inst. of Count ft" ontholon's interchange of fresh despatches with Secretary Seward, from tiio 3d to the 10th of th : s current month, in which case, as they aro confidently expected to assume a more niigitatcd tone as regards the empire of Maximilian, they must have a marked effect on the course of De- bate inCorps Legislatif touching Mexico. La Patrie is excessively bitter against Seward for bis recent de- claration that Spain was the only European power that had claim to meddle in Americans if Franco bad not held Louisiana and Canada.) reward is there- upon taunted with the Yankee filibustering against Cuba, as nt variance withhis professed sentiment; he is also ridiculed for a recent speech delivered at Hav- ana in eulogy of cigarettes, as manufactured by the firm of Le Uouradiz, termed by him the "quintessence of progress in either hemisphere," while his visit to Santa Anna, in the Tsleof St. Thomas, is agaiu the subject of violent strictures. THE FRENCH IROX-CLADS A FAILURE. [Paris (Feb. 15) correspondence Liverpool Journal.] j The fatal truth connected with the vaisseaux : blindes , about which so much fustian has bee;; Valued and written, is at last made clear These vessels are of no use whatever. These iron plated vessels, hav- ing made a boie in the budget through which have passed one hundred millions of the public money, are declared only fit to remain stationary in ;-vri, und will never be able to use their artillery at sea, the slightest motiou of the sea paralysing the action of toe guus. This unexpected check to the dream of inaritimo power indulged in by tho Emperor has given a terrible blow to hi auniovrpropre: and Cbasse- j loup La uoat has been made to bear the brunt of the I wrath which should have been lavished on M.liupuy de Lome, the engineer who constructed the vessels. The mania for creating a monster navy and possess- ing those three great elements of power?ships, colo- nies and commerce, which, according to the great Napoleon, must be regarded as the very souls of national greatness in modern times, is increasing with tho present Emperor's old age. He forgets, however, mat ships may oe built?but neither will colonies flourish nor commerce prosper without lib- erty?and goes on persecuting the press with more bitterness than ever. NAPOLEON AND HIS COUSIN, The quarrel between the Emperor of the French and Prince Napoleon has not been made up, and the tumors of a reconciliation are premature. Efforts to bring about a reconciliation have been temporarily suspended through the Prince's sudden departure for Florence. According to the London Pall Mad Ga- zette, the Prince hesitated to leave up to tho last moment, and at one time he even thought of resum- ing his place in the Senate, and speaking in favor of Italy during the debate on the September Conven- tion. The Emperor's speech, however, which was so totally opposed to tho sentiments he had himself ex- pressed at Ajaueio, and the growing tendency of me Government to restrict rather than extend the liber- ties of France, persuaded nim that his further stay in Paris oouid be of no use to the liberal party, ORDEK FBOlTciE*.

THE WESTERN- MARYLAND RAILROAD.?Tho pro- position to subscribe to tho capital stock of the West- ern Maryland railroad, on the part of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, continues to agitate a largo portion of the tax-payers, who seem to be greatly divided as to the propriety and advantage of such a course. A few days after the proposition was presented in the Council, a large number of petitions were presented in opposition to the subscription, and the effect was to secure a recommittal to the Commit- tee on Internal Improvements of the ordinance au- thorizing the subscription. Subsequently, an equally large number of petitions was presented, from ail classes of tax-payers, fay-ring the subscription by tho city, and the interest has continued up to the present time. Yesterday another presentation of petitions was made in the Council from both parties, in point of numbers, however, the signers favoring the subscrip- tion. At the same time, Mr. Nichnlls, of the Twelfth Ward, presented a preamble r.nd.series ofresolutions, addressed to tho President of the Western Maryland Rai'road, to the effect that, "Whereas. Differences of opinion arpear to exist as to tho cost of completing tho Western Maryland Railroad to llagerstown, and as to the means of the said Company in so complet- ing the same, even if the city of Baltimore were to subscribe to four thousand shares of the said stock at the par value of said shares;" therefore. Resolved, That tho President of that Road bo requested to give information, in writing, as to what is the whole amount subscribed to the stock of that company; how much of this stock lias been sub- scribed by individuals: how much by corporations, and by what corporations, showing particularly the amounts subscribed by the county commissioners of Washington, Frederick, Carroll and Baltimore coun- ties, separately, on behalf of their respective coun- ties; what was the mortgage of the company on March 1, 1866; what its floating debt, and what the wholo debt of the company at that date; what the monthly receipts and expenses of the company dur- ing the months of January and February, 1866; what is the precise estimate made of the cost of the road from Union Bridge to Ilagerstown, based on the present rricc of material and labor, and including estimate of cost of right of way: what actual means on hand has the company applicable to the building of the road to Ilagerstown; and that the President of said road be requested to transmit to this body a profile and plat of this said road, from Union Bridge to II gerstown, and to furnish as a part of said plat the particulars of grades, (lisUnices.

LARCENY op A LARGF. QCANTITY OP Goons?AR- REST. ?Officer Cook, of the middle district, arrested A negro boy named Peter Brown, on Monday last, charged with having a basket, containing two pieces (or webs,) of muslin in his possession supposed to he stolen. After being taken into custody, the boy stated that the muslin was given to him by a negro named James Ackwood, who had directed him to carry it to Ackwood's house. No. 29 Foster street. Lieut. Wright then sent Sergeant Stuck and officer Cook to tho house of the negro, with orders to take him into custody, and also bring to the station house any property they might find in his possession, sup- posed to be stolen. The ollieers. after taking Ack- wood into custody, searched the premises and found about SSOO worth of goods, consisting of dresses, furs, furs, shawls, pants, vests, coats, Ac., which they removed to the station house. The muslin was as- certained to be the property of Messrs. Howard, Cole A Co., No. 351 IVest Baltimore street, inwhose employ Ackwood has been as porter, though the firm did not identify any of the other property. Both of the accused were locked up at the station house until yesterday, when, after a hearing before Justice Spicer, they wero committed for the action of the grand jury. Tho property recovered, except the muslin, remains at the station house for identifica- tion. DARING ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.?A bold but un- successful attempt was made, m Sunday night, to rob tho banking house of Messrs. Brown, Broa,* Co.. on the southwest corner of Baltimore and Calvert streets. An entrance was effected by forcing a cellar door, and then cuttiug a hole through the flooring of the room inwhich the vault was located. The door of the vault had the appearance of having been se- verely tested by the efforts of the burglars, as a hole had been drilled into it, near tho lock, to the depth of an inch. The work of drilling was such a slow and tedious operation that they wero doubtless frightened away by officer Scott, in making his rounds, before having accomplished their aim. The only booty secured was a dollar or so of change found inthe counter drawers. An attempt was also made to penetrate the ,-idewall of tho vault, but was equally fruitless. Sergeant Hatton. together with officer Scott, made a thorough search of the premises about 11 o'clock at night, but did not succeed in finding the burgla- rious party. The premises wero also examined in tiie morning by Deputy Marshal Manly, and th.i affair placed in the hands of detectives, in order.il possible, to trace up the burglars. FOUND DROWNED.? At an early hour yesterday morning a dead body was discovered floating in the water at Spring Hardens, near the gas works at the foot of Leadenhall street. It was gotten out, and re- cognized as the body of Peter llanagan, whose father resides at No. 92 Kauisey street. He was drowned while out skating, on the night of the 11th of Janu- ary, Deceased was about nineteen years of age. Tho body was somewhat disfigured about the face, but was readily recognized by the clothing. Coroner Thomas held an inquest, and the jury rendered a verdict to the effectthathe was accidentally drowned. His remains were subsequently given in charge of his parents. At tho time he was drowned every effoit was made to ascertain his whereabouts, but his fato remained a mystery until yesterday. PRESENTATION.? Richard H. Chenowith, who re- cently occupied tho position of lieutenant of police in the western district of this city, and who is now a conductor upon the Baltimore street line of the City Passenger Railway, was on Saturday night last the recipient of a handsome present from officers and privates of the police force with which he recently served. As his ear was passing up for tho last time, at a late hour of night. Sergeant Vansant, of the po- lice, jumped upon the oar, and handed to Mr. Chen- owith a b.ec.yy double-cased silver watch, worth about ninety dollars, a present from his late asso- ciates. Mr. C. acknowledged in the best terms he could command this agreeable surprise. SHOOTING AFFRAY.? TWO men, James Morgan and John Pierson, having gotten into an altercation yes- terday at Canton, the former drew a revolver and tired one shot at tho latter, which took effect in the loft thigh, causing a painful though not serious wound. Morgan was arrested by officer Sables of the eastern diitriot, and arraigned before Justice Wha- len, charged with shooting Pierson with intent to kill, to answerwhichhcwas committed fur the action of the grand jury. The wound of Pierson was dress- ed at his home, in the vicinity of the occurrence, by Doctor Dwmelle. CONFECTIONERY STAND BROKEN OPEN.? Policemgp R. Miller, of the middle district, arrested John Henry and George Brooks, both colored, on Sunday night, charged with breaking into tbe confectionery stand of WilliamStarr, in the centre market house, between Lombard and Pratt streets. They did not succeed insecuring any booty, as tbe appearance of the officer put an end to their thieving depredations. They were locked up until yesterday morning, when, after an. examination before Ju.-tiee Spicer, were Loth committed for the actiunof the legal authorities. SCDDF.N DEATH.?Yesterday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, Mr. James O'Hara, an old and well known citizen of this city, while on his way home from a visit to his farm, was taken suddenly ill and expired before assistance could be rendered him. His malady is supposed to have been disease of the heart, as he appeared to be intho enjoyment of excellent health and spirits up to the hour of his sudden demise. He was inthe 64th year of his age, and leaves a wife and an only son. PROVIDED FOR.? Lieutenant WaUham and Ser- geants Robinson and Hand, of the eastern district, took three men, Patrick Gordan, Timothy -Disney and James Walker, into custody, on Sunday night, charged with vagrancy, and they being uDable to show any visible means of support, were by Justice Whalen provided with homes for the coming two months in the oity jail. ' THE HAVANAAND NEW ORLEANS STEAMSHIP.? It is expected that the fine steamship Cuba will be dispatched this afternoon for New Orleans via Havana. She will be oommanded by Captain Wm. Rollins, an officer who has had extensive experience in the Havana trade, and will carry out a heavy cargo, besides several passengers. A FOUNDLING?A white still-born child was found yesterday by some boys in the falls, at Lombard street bridge. It was deposited in the dead-house connected withthe central police station, and Coro- ner Brewer was notified, but deemed it unnecessary to hold an inquest, and ordered the body to be in- terred. , MARYLAND INSTITUTE LECTURE.? The lecture for to-night at the Institute is expected to bo specially interesting, and will, doubtless, command a fine at- tendance. Our young people should not neglect these opportunities, as the lecturing season willsoon termi- nate. Owing to the lecture of Mr. Van Bokkeien, the Miltonian Tableaux will not be exhibited to-night.

Mr. Wilson has introduced into the Senate sundryremarkable propositions in the form of a joint reso-lution, looking to the admission of representatives toCongress from late rebel States on conditions whichabrogate all distinctions in regard to color.

A resolution has been offered inthe House, provid-ing for an increase of one hundred and fifty per cent,in the rates of the present tariff for the next onehundred and fifty days, exempting however fromthose rates, books and printing paper.

Tennessee has at length a chance to come into Con-gress on a jointresolution offered by Mr. Bingham,which", however, recognizes among other stringentpreliminaries, the right of the General Governmentto prescribe who shall enjoy the right of the electivefranchise.

is coming to this country on a lecturing tour.?Lord Napier has been appointed Gover-

nor of Madras.?Upwards of seven thousand military con-

Robin*ry and flurder ?An AtrotJ Jns Affair?A Man Murdered by Robber*?Tivo Ac*grocs and a White Man tlie Criminal*?Particular* of the Case.On Saturday night,between ten and eleven o'clock,

a young man named ilenry Balse was murderedwhile .attempting to prevent a robbery at a bouse onwhat is known as the Eckington farm, the estate ofthe late Mr. Joseph Gales. Coroner Woodward sum-moned a jury yesterday to inquire info the particu-lars of the affair. John W. Cord, Mrs. J. W. Cord.Jefferson Oxley, James Carney, Dr. Thos. C. Smith,and Dr. Edwards were examined as witnesses, andfrom their testimony it appeared that the circum-stances were about as follows:

Mr. John W. Cord, a dairyman, is the tenant of ahouse on the Eckington (or Gales) farm, near Glen-wood Cemetery. On Saturday night, shortly after 9o'clock, he observed two negroes and a white mannear his cow stable, and asked them what they weredoing there. They replied that they were lookingfor a cow belonging to a Mr.Brown. Mr. Cord re-marked thjt the hour chosen was a queer one, amithey then went off. They returned shortly after 1')

o'clock, and rapped at the door of Mr. Cord'shouse, and demanded admission. Mr. C. refused toopen the door, when the robbers threatened to forcean entrance, and upon his persisting inhis refusal toopen, they pried the door open with a jimmy. Thejimmy was found yesterday morning, and it had aleather strap fastened to it. indicating that it wasintended for use as a slung shot as weil as a jimmy.The robbers then entered the house, and one of thecolored men seized Mr.Cord by the throat, at ihe sametime striking him across the nose with a pistol, whilethe other negro and a whito man proceeded to an ad-joiningroom, and ransacking a chest of drawers, ;stole therefrom ten or twelve dollars, mostly in pen- jnies. Meanwhile, Mr. Cord, addressing one of hischildren in German, directed her to go for assist-

the report might frighten tho robbers away. oponreaching the house Mr. Balse called to Mr. Corn,

when the latter told him to come in. Balse steppedupon the porch, whan the white robber inside said to

one of the negroes, "Shoot the The negroobeyed, and after the shot had been fired Balse ranfrom the house, the robbers coming out at the sametime and running toward the south. Mr. Oxley \

j struck at the white robber witha stick as he ran past:j and the latter turned and fired two shots, neither ofwhich, however, took effect.

The robbers then mado their escape, and no clue asto who they were has yet been obtained. The per-

sons residing on the place instituted an immediatesearch for Mr. Balse, but, failing tofind him, theyconcluded that he had either followed the robbersinto the city to give the alarm to the police, or thathe had been slightly wounded and had gone into thecity for relief. At daylight, however, tho search wasrenewed, and. by marks of blood, they tracked Mr.Balse to a fence corner between Mr. Cord's houseand that of Mr. Oxley. When found he still graspedhis pistol in his hand, and was on his knees his po-sition indicating clearly that he had died as he wasattempting crawl through the fence on his way to

Mr. Oxley's. SIS having taken an unfrequentedpath was the reason u? was found during thenight search.

An examination showed that the ball ot the mur-derer had penetrated the right groin ftud cut thefemoral artery; and inthe opinion of the physlmftps,death must, have ensued in about ten minutes afterthe infliction of the wound. The jury returned averdict in accordance with the above facts, and foundthat death resulted from the wound inflicted by thesaid robber or robbers, who were unknown. A smallamount of money was found upon the deceased, andother money and personal effects, to the value ofseveral hundred dollars, were found in his room.These were turned over to Mr. James Carney, thepartner of the deceased, until his friends, who aresupposed to reside inLancaster, Pa., shall have beennotified of the tragic occurrence.

Henry Balse, the deceased, was a young man abouttwcnt v" our or twenty-five years of age. He was of

Among his papers were found certificates of meritand character from a number of gentlemen, andamong them one from Dr. Richard Pancoast. latesurgeon in charge of Finley Hospital,.who speaks of

day, with a leading member of the PennsylvaniaCongressional delegation, Secretary Seward broughtup the question of reconstruction, and was very se-vere upon Congress for their refusal to admit theSouthern delegations. The member thought thatafter four years of a rebellion that had taken mil-lions of armed men to suppress, and entailed uponus a debt of three thousand millions of dollars, itwas the duty of Congress to patiently examine intothe question of whether tho same men were ina fitcondition to be again intrusted with tho poiitica!power of this Government; that no rebel should everhave a seat in Congress with his consent; that thepolicy of tho President was lamentable, as it wouldprove a positive injuryto the SoutH.

Mr. Seward replied, with a great deal of warmth,that tho policy was that which Mr. Lincoln hadadopted, and was carrying it out when he died, andthat Mr. Johnson was merely continuing it; that thepeople of a'l parties would sustain it, and there wasnot a rebel to-day in the whole country, and hoshould not use the word. Mr. Seward is in favor ofthe admission of the entire body of Southern mem-bers, just as they are, and of the repeal of the testoath.

Mr. Doolittle said, that he had simply asserted thatif this body saw proper toadmit two Senators fromUpper Canada, no interference could take place.What could the House do about it? v\ hat could thePresident.

£ (TROPE.

Ireland?Suspension of Habeas Corpus?Action of Parliament.

SPEECH OF MR. BRIGHT.* ir Bright gaid that for moro than twenty-two

years he had possessed a seat in the House, but hehad never risen to address it under so strong a feel-ing of shame and humiliation as that which he felthimself oppressed by at the present moment. ThoHomo Secrctnry proposed now to deprive no inoon-sideraolc portion of the subjects of the Queen withinthe United Kingdom of the commonest, most pre-cious, and most sacred of the rights of the EnglishConstitution?the right to their personal freedom.He d d not think the right honorable gentlemanhau overstated tho case for the purpose of inducingtho House to consent to this proposition. On thecontrary, Ireland, ever since the Union, had been asource of disquietude ami uneasiness to Her Majesty'sGovernment. Indeed, ho believed that if the Gov-ernment could they would at once unmoor Irelandfrom her fastenings i the deep, and move her atleast two thousand miles to tho west.

ihe Irish people wore not naturally a criminalpopulation. They had some of the best qualities pos-sessed by any portion ot the human race, and wereajways grateful for kindness bestowed upon them,i et, after sixty years of government by the Parlia-ment of thisrountry, we had them embittered againstour rule, anxious only to throw off the authority ofthe crown and Queen of this realm. During tholifetime of the oldest man in the House, Ireland hadbeen in a chronic state of insurrection, and he be-lieved it was attributable almost entirely to mi-gov-ernment. _ Ever since the Union, although we hadgreat ministers, there had been nothing done on thepart of any one member of ihe government towardIreland which history would hereafter describe ssstatesmanship. He had no wish to speak disre-spectfully of men in office, it was r.or his custom inthat House [great laughter], but ho thought that ifthe ministry and the 'eadiug members of the opposi-tion would unite in some measure for the benefit ofIreland, instead of spending all their time fightingtor office, they would be able to make Ireland as urce of strength, and not of weakness, to thiscountry.

It was said that nothing "couhl be made of anIrishman in his own country, but everything couldbe made of liim in every country except his own.When he emigrated he was as industrious, as frugal,as independent, as loyal and as good a citizen of theAmerican Kepnblic,as any man born within the do-minions of that power. They might put five hundredmen in prison, and suppress the conspiracy, and putdown the insurrection, but though it was suppressedt.iere would remain the germs of the malady, fromwhich would grow up another crop and harvest ofdisaffection. There was a mode <>f making loyal,and it was the duty of Hie Government to discoverthat modo. He should not oppose the proposition ofthe Government, for he presumed the circumstanceswere such that the course about, to be pursued wasperhaps tho most merciful course toward IrelandHo called upon the Government to shake off thetrammels of doubt, and to say something to Irelandthat might give hope for the future. lie called uponthe Government to wipe out this blot?the misgov-crnmeut of Ireland?for blot it was, and a scandalalso to the civilization of the country.

PROTEST FROM IRELAND.Mr. Dillon had no sympathy with Fenianism. On

tho contrary, ho believed he was the onlv Irrih mem-ber who had to encounter the organized oppositionof Fenianism at the hustings; but tho facilitywithwhich lie was able to meet it. and ultimately to con-quer it, bad ever since made him skeptical as to theformidable character of the movement, lie believedthat the discontent, which it wa useless to deny didexist in Ireland, had been caused by misgovernmenUand the enactment of laws for class interests andagainst the general welfare of the people. For thinreason he, for one, would not aid tho Government intheir efforts to quell this discontent.

SPEECH OF MR. J. STUART MILL.Mr. J. S. Millconsiderei that the occasion was one

for deep griefand humiliation. IfIreland in formeryears had been the victim of inisgovernment, of lateyears there could he no doubt of the wish and desireupon both sides of the House to treat her in a liberalspirit; hut the question was, whether good inten-tions were enough, and what measures ought to bebrought forward for removing tho grievances nowcomplained of.

EFFECT OF THE SUSPENSION IN IRELAND.After somo observations from Mr. Moore and Mr. 1

Connolly.Sir J. Gray defended the Catholic priests from the

aspersion which had been cast upon them of beingimplicated in the conspiracy. On the contrary, theconspiracy had been denounced by :he priests, whohad throughout given support to the cause of lawand ord*r.

The O'Donoghue was of opinion that if Govern-ment would declare that they would seriously inves-tigate the cause of disaffection, the Fenian move-ment would sink into insignificance. Coercion wasnot what Ireland required; it wou'd create panic andintensify disaffection, and ho believed that the ordi-nary constitutional power at the disposal <>f the Gov-ernment, ifplaced in the hands of men of nerve andjudgment, would be i mply sufficient to meet anyemergency that might arise.

SPEECH OF MR. GLADSTONE,The Chancellor of the Exchequer believed no fal-

lacy could be propagated in connection with the jpresent subject more dangerous in its character than !the supposition that the proceedings in which tho jHouse was engaged were an appeal to a substantially IEnglish Parliament to apply the hand of force to 1Ireland. The evidence was universal that the Fenianconspiracy deserved condemnation and repression byall who claimed to represent authority, property andreligion, and that in principle the measure proposedhad their unanimous approval. The people of Ire-land were liable to he misguided and misled, and re-quired to be defended against themselves.

RESULT OF THE DIVISION.The House then divided, when the numbers were ?

for leave to bring in the bi11364: against 6. Majority,358.

Tho announcement of the number was receivedwith laughter from all parts of the House.

This Government calculates or the arrival in Parisby the 25th inst. of Count ft" ontholon's interchangeof fresh despatches with Secretary Seward, from tiio3d to the 10th of th :s current month, in which case,as they aro confidently expected to assume a moreniigitatcd tone as regards the empire of Maximilian,they must have a marked effect on the course of De-bate inCorps Legislatif touching Mexico. La Patrieis excessively bitter against Seward for bis recent de-claration that Spain was the only European powerthat had claim to meddle inAmericans if Franco badnot held Louisiana and Canada.) reward is there-upon taunted with the Yankee filibustering againstCuba, as ntvariance withhis professed sentiment; heis also ridiculed for a recent speech delivered at Hav-ana in eulogy of cigarettes, as manufactured by thefirm of Le Uouradiz, termed by him the "quintessenceof progress in either hemisphere," while his visit toSanta Anna, in the Tsleof St. Thomas, is agaiu thesubject of violent strictures.

THE FRENCH IROX-CLADS A FAILURE.[Paris (Feb. 15) correspondence Liverpool Journal.] j

The fatal truth connected with the vaisseaux :blindes , about which so much fustian has bee;; Valuedand written, is at last made clear These vessels areof no use whatever. These iron plated vessels, hav-ing made a boie in the budget through which havepassed one hundred millions of the public money, aredeclared only fit to remain stationary in ;-vri, undwill never be able to use their artillery at sea, theslightest motiou of the sea paralysing the action oftoe guus. This unexpected check to the dream ofinaritimo power indulged in by tho Emperor hasgiven a terrible blow to hiauniovrpropre: and Cbasse- jloup La uoat has been made to bear the brunt of the Iwrath which should have been lavished on M.liupuyde Lome, the engineer who constructed the vessels.The mania for creating a monster navy and possess-ing those three great elements of power?ships, colo-nies and commerce, which, according to the greatNapoleon, must be regarded as the very souls ofnational greatness in modern times, is increasingwith tho present Emperor's old age. He forgets,however, mat ships may oe built?but neither willcolonies flourish nor commerce prosper without lib-erty?and goes on persecuting the press with morebitterness than ever.

NAPOLEON AND HIS COUSIN,

The quarrel between the Emperor of the Frenchand Prince Napoleon has not been made up, and thetumors of a reconciliation are premature. Efforts tobring about a reconciliation have been temporarilysuspended through the Prince's sudden departure forFlorence. According to the London Pall Mad Ga-zette, the Prince hesitated to leave up to tho lastmoment, and at one time he even thought of resum-ing his place in the Senate, and speaking in favor ofItaly during the debate on the September Conven-tion. The Emperor's speech, however, which was sototally opposed to tho sentiments he had himself ex-pressed at Ajaueio,and the growing tendency of meGovernment to restrict rather than extend the liber-ties of France, persuaded nim that his further stayin Paris oouid be of no use to the liberal party,

The doorof the vault had the appearance of having been se-verely tested by the efforts of the burglars, as a holehad been drilled into it, near tho lock, to the depthof an inch.

The work of drilling was such a slow and tediousoperation that they wero doubtless frightened awayby officer Scott, in making his rounds, before havingaccomplished their aim.
