' A large meeting of stone and hollow ware moulders was held on Saturday evening at Military Hall, Girard avenue, above Sixth street, for the purpose of taking action in reference to the reduction of wages recently made by the employers.

Tennessee has ratified her new Constitu tion, and claims the credit of being the first State to adopt universal suffrage without re. gard to color, and to incorporate it in the organie law.

Elections are to be held in Cuba for Deputies to the Spanish Cortes, if the situa tion of the island will, in the opinion of Da ltodnfl, permit them. Documents in the possession of the Spanish Government prove that one of the many conspiracies which culminated in the present revolution in Cuba had for its object the elevation of Lersundi to the Viceroyolty of the island. OBITUARY. Pierre Honlr. Pierre Soule died at New Orleans on Saturday, aged 70 years. He was a native of Castlllon, in the Department of Arlcgo, In the French Pyre nees, and was the son of Judge Soule, a former Malor-General in the Army of the Republic, but who had assumed the hereditary ermine on the establishment of the Empire. He was destined for the Church, and was educated with a view to that end; but his restless ambition could not be confined to the strict limits of a clerical life, and while at college at Bordeaux he became in volved, at the age of 15 years, In a plot against the Bourbons, which, being discovered, caused his precipitate flight to Navarre, where he re mained for more than a year, following the occupation of a shepherd, when he was permitted to return to Bordeaux. Hesoon after repolredlo Paris and was admitted to practice law, and commenced to edit a news paper entitled Le Nain, which advocated liberal Republican principles and was the Lanterne of that period, and where he received treatment not unlike that meted out to Rochefort in our day. He was tried, and after a defense of him self characterized with no little amount of skill, and an urgent appeal in favor of his youth, which he indignantly objected to, he was sen tenced to pay a fine of ten thousand francs and to an Imprisonment In St. Pelagic, a famous jail of Paris, from whence he wag suffered to escape to England. He tried to obtain a situation in Chill, butwas defeated in his endeavors, and he returned to France. He then, in company with a friend in the French navy, set sail for St. Domingo, where he arrived in September, 1825, and soon after went to New Orleans, whore he commenced the practice of the law in French, simultane ously with the study of the English language, in which he soon achieved great perfection and won a large practice at a Bar second to none In the United States for ability and legal acumen. His position entitled him to a seat in the United States Senate frcm Louisiana, to which he was elected in 1847 to fill a vacancy, and was re elected in 1849, and took an active part in the debates which closed with the adoption of the compromise of 18E0. In 1853, upon the accession of President Peirce, he received the appointment of Minister to Spain. Soon after his arrival in that country he broucht discredit on himself and tho. United States by a foolish quarrel with M. Turgot, tne French Ambassador, which resulted in a duel, in which Soule wounded bis antagonist. On the occasion of the revolutionary outbreak in Madrid in August, 1854, Mr. Soule lent his in fluence to the Insurgents, and in his zeal on the subject of the acquisition of Cuba he was led to exceed the instructions of his Government, and to withhold from tho Department of State the information that a treaty of reciprocity of trade between the United States and Cnba had been concluded by the American Secretary of Lega tion in Madrid during the temporary absence of the Minister. Mr. Some participated in the conference of American diplomatists at Ostend In the summer of 1854, he , being obliged to pro ceed thither by sea, as the French Government refused to give him a passport to travel through France. It is thought that he exercised a great influence in securing the adoption by Messrs. Buchanan and Mason, the other members of the conference, of the declaration that Cuba must be acquired by the United States not only as necessary to the political power of the republic, but as especially indispensable to the welfare and security of the slaveholdlng portions of the Union. Mr. Soule was succeeded as Minister to Spain, in 1855, by General A. C. Dodkc, and he re turned to the United States. At the lncipiency of the Rebellion he opposed with vigor the secession of Louisiana, but he afterwards gave his hearty support to tho Southern Confederacy. In 1862 he was arrested and was confined for some time in Fort Lafayette as a political prisoner. During the Rebellion he was principally employed as an agent for the furtherance of the Southern cause in Europe. FRANCE. Pierre Bonaparte Declared Net Wnllty Tils Indignation at not Being Immediately lie leaaed Astonishment of the Parisians at the Vrrdlct. Pakis, March 2C. The Procureur-General made his argument in the High Court of Tours to-day. He opened his discourse with an energetio denunciation of the political partv to which Victor Noir belonged, and made frequent allusions to the Marsdlaue a jour nal, he said, ' lull or blame. Nearly all the evidence for the prosecution was set aside by tne rrocureur, who, now- ever, demands the condemnation of the Prince because the shooting was not done in self-defense. The Prince was much excited during the delivery of this argument. Messrs. Laroux and Demange, counsel for the defense. both denounce the MareiUais. The Court will meet again at noon to-morrow, when the verdict is expected. Tonus, March 27. Prince Pierre Bonaparte has been acquitted in spite of the strong appeal made by the Procureur-General for a verdict of guilty with extenuating circum stances. The jury was out only one hour. ! As soon as the verdict was announced the oounsel for the partie civile demanded 100,000 francs damages, and in consequence of this demand the Prince was not released irom custody. He was exceedingly indignant beoause he was not allowed to leave the court-room instantly. and said he wished to show that he was not afraid of the menaces against his life. ' Pakis, Maroh 27. The news of the acquit tal of Prince Bonaparte produces everywhere an immense sensation and astonishment, and is the universal topio of conversation. In their closing arguments the lawyers for the defense laid great stress on the constant and violent denunciation of the Prinoe in the Marsnllam. and on other ciroumstonoes calculated to exasperate the aoousecL NEW JERSEY M.
