Senator Wilson arrived here early this morning, and addressed a large colored assemblage tbts afternoon. The national llast waved from ibe publlo buildings, and banners wllh pntrloHo mottoes were 'strung across several streets. A large proces sion of colored men, with marshals on horse back, with bands or music. Hugs and banners, organised nt the Town Hall, and marched to the place of meeting. This was Dudley's Grove, on the bank of the Cape Fear river, outside or the city. A stand was erected there under the shadow of a spreading oak. It being May-day, the youthful colored population and some while children kept it as a holiday. Refresh ment booths were on the ground. The women and children wore their gayest attire; boys located themselves la the forks and on the branches 'Of the fine oak trees to bear the speaking, and the girls got up games and pic nics in other portions of the ground. Men formed a dense mass around the platform, and all went In for enjoyment. There were some white persons present, but In very small proportion to the blacks. The formr included Northern residents here, Fede ral soldiers In blue, city police In grey, and several ladies occupying wagons and amuu lances. Although the audieuce was so dusky the general eOVct of the scene was extremely picturesque. One the banners carried In tue proct sslon bore the motto: EQUAL RIGHTS BKPOKR TH K LAW-WE LL! : ASK NU MOKE, WE'LL TAKE NO LESS, j i One of the ambulances wag labelled: NATIONAL REPUBLICAN EXPRESS COM-: i PAN Y THE ONLY DIRECT ROUTE TOi THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. I The meeting having been organized by elect ing General jLT. G. Kates as i'resident, resolu tions were adopted thank ine Congress for the Military Reconstruction bill, promising to re construct Worth Carolina wllh loyal men, to give the colored men n right to sit on Juries, and to extend rights and privileges to the poor white men by the establish ment of a Republi can party In the Htaie. Hen a tor Wilson then addressed the meeting for nearly two hours. He dec ared that the Ke- fubllcan party was not responsible for one life OKt In the war: bnt before God and history, the supporters of slavery were responsible for every lite sacrificed and every dollar spent In It. He Invited the colored people to vote with the Re publican party, knowing that tbey were voting with the nnconquered and unconquerable power of the country. He declared lc vitally important that there should be no black party or while party formed. Benjamin Robinson, editor of the Wilming ton Vetpatch, then spoke lor near!; an hour, endeavoring to throw the blame of the war on the slavery agitators, and charging on them the design to make the South dependent on the North financially and industrially. It was the Old argument, but was not strongly pre sented. He read an extract from a speech of Mr. Wilson's, In 1856, sustaining the doctrine that slavery was an institution or the .States, and could not be interfered with; also the letter of December, I860, from Abraham Lincoln to Alexander II. Stephens to the same effect. This was to thow the falsity of the Republican party, and to prove that the negroes had no great' cause for gratitude to that party. He declared himself in favor of their education, but not by Northern schoolmasters or mistresses, and he told them that, with all the Republican oreten sions of placing them on terms ol equality witn the whiles, there were no colored otlicers in the army. (Shouts of denial.) Mr. Robinson spoke by previous arrangement, and received a fair hearing. When Senator Wilson rose to reply he was greeted with thiee cheers, and three more were 5iven for the Republican parly. Mr. Wilson UBlified his own speech in 1858 and Abraham jtncoln's letter, and showed that non-interference with Blavery in the States was then the avowed doctrine of the Republican party, and that the abolitiou of slavery by the general Government was the result of the Rebellion. He congratulated Mr. Robinson on the change already effected lu his views, as shown by his willingness to have thecolored peopleeducated, and thought that In a few months more Mr. Robinson wonld be fully afllllated with the Re publican party. As to colored men not holding any commissions, nedeclared that his own son, recently dead, had served as Lieutenant, Cap tain, and Lieutenant-Colonel in a regiment whose Major was as black as any man In the audience. . The meeting was further addressed by Mr' Robinson, who got ten minutes more to re spond, and by Mr. Harris, the colored man mentioned in my Raleigh despatch yesterday. Afterwards the procession marched back to the town. Everything passed off quietly and narujouiously. ... tieuator Wilson was waited on yesterday at Raleigh, by Governor Worth and other promi nent citizens, and was also the recipient of like atten Hons Here to-day.

Yokohama, Japan, April 3, via Han Fran cisco April 30. The ship Cordillera arrived here (Han Francisco) this morning from Yokohama, Japan, with advices to the above date. Affairs in Japan were quiet, politically and financially. Tbe Tycoon has given notice that the war With ChoEin shall not be prosecuted further, although the movement has been in practice a successful one. The authorities of Chozln, against the wishes or the Tycoon, will not open the port of Hi monskl to foreign trade. A detachment of the 87th Regiment of Infan try, with some men of the Royal Artillery, had arrived to reinforce the brltish troops in the camp near Yokohama. In consequence of native Insults offered to British officers, and even to the representative of Queen Victoria, Sir II. Parkes, In tbe Mikado's territory, the British Minister, la his official capacity, demanded an apology from the Japanese Government, which was duly made. In one instance the English officers, when out on horseback, met a Japanese noble man attached to tbe court of the Mikado, and, when about to pass, the Englishmen were com pelled to dismount and stand aside while the native officer pursued his way. The Japanese Government has invited all the foreign ministers accredited to the empire to meet tbe Tycoon at Osaka at an early dale, and the time of assemblage is now fixed for ihe lust days of the month of April. The American Minister will proceed to the Imperial interview accompanied by the whole force of the United Hlates squadron serving In tbe waters of Asia. It Is reported In Yokohama that the French have contracted tosupply the JapaneseGoveru ment with four hundred thousand stand of small arms and a large quantity of ammuni tion. Tbe French Minister is now on a visit to the Southern princes. There Is very little doing in freights in Yoko hama, and vessels are leaving in balast. Another disastrous fire has destroyed a large portion of the Japanese town, and there is much suffering in consequence. Heveral in cendiaries have been discovered at work. From the first of the Japanece new year the 5th of February next year all officials of the empire will be required to appear in European costume. The laboring population must clothe themselves and relieve their want, lu sickness or otherwise, from their wages.

There he labored assiduously to engage foreign Governments to interfere In Mexican aflalrs. Still, on the establishment ot the em pire it was deemed a matter of policy to keep him aud Marquez abroad, owing to the charac ters which both had e&rned tor high handed measures and turbulence. The events connected with the reappearance of Miramon n the scene in Mexico are too fresh to need repetition here. Suffice it to say that the death of Miramon and rout of Marquez left the Empire without a leg to stand upon. In person Miramon was abont the middle height, fcllrn built, and of fatr complexion tor a itxiKai JU WW jeiUesi .and pulmve; had the faculty of winning the confidence of those inder him, but relentless with his enemies. A a soldier he has shown some military ability. and not a few think that tn any other country he would have risen to high rank, and won laurels in his profession. FROM NEW YORK.

At half-nast 7 last evening the packet ship II iberula, Captain Janssen, was discovered to be on Ore. Tne alarm was Immediately sounded, and In less than fifteen minutes the active Are department were on hand at the Black Ball dock, fool of Ileekman street, where the Hiber nia was moored, and fifteen streams of water were directed upon the vessel. TBI OBrQIN OF THE FIRE Is not known, bnt Captain Janssen reports that It first broke out amidships: that a number of caulkers bad been working noon herdnrlng the day, and it is probable that the nre origiuaiea from some matches or combustible matter having been dropped in the vessel between decks. At tbe time the vessel took fire the Cnptuin was absent at his residence, and the vesrel was in charge or tne llrst mate, rue flames bnrst forth amidships and forward almost simultaneously, showing that the lire must have attained considerably headway be fore lis discovery. THE EXERTIONS OF TRE FIRE DEPARTMENT to save the vessel were all that could be ex pected. Ladders were thrown from the wharf to tbe bulwarKB, and the brave . bosemuu mounted tier decks and directed the Water into the hold, in tbe vaiu hope of extinguishing the fire and saving the ship. For an hour hopes were entertained that they would be successful, but at half-Dsst 8 o'clock tbe noble craft sud denly "leered" and careened over on the stir- board side, ana the lurid names mounted no through the hatchways, and enveloped the deck. HEROIC CONDUCT OF THE COLORED STEWARD. At this time several members of the Metro. politan and water police were on the vessel as sisting the otlicers and crew to remove their personal effects. Among the number was Po liceman Whlthall, who was thrown down and severely stunned. The flames were rapidly sur rounding him, and a few moments later he would have been beyoud the possibility of escape, bad not be fortunately been discovered by the steward of the ship, (Smith Hawyer, a gigantlo colored man, whose pre sence of mind, even at this trying moment, did not desert him. Lifting the wounded pollceinim in bis arms as he would a child, he hurled him into the water, aud Jumping after lilm, seized him and swam wllh him lo a log. where he se cured him until the firemen rescued both men from a watery grave. Bawyer's bravery wns loudly applauded by the policemen on the docks, who witnessed bis gallant feat in behalf or the life of one of their number, and tbey de clare that they will give him a more substan tial proof of their appreciation of tils services.

The Illbernla was builtat Thomaston. Maine. in 1861, at a cost of about $125,000. She is 1510 tons register, 180 feet long, 87 feet beam, 24 feet depth of hold, a well-built ship, and ranked Al. fcibe is owned by Tapscott & Co., and has been employed in the New lorn ana .Liverpool trade, tsne stood wen as uu euugruuii auu freight Bhlp, and bas done a prosperous busi ness. Originally her name wns tne m riuriDtis Uuuin, au American vessel, but her owners registered ner during tne war as a uritisu ves sel, and named her the Hlbernla, to avoid the ravages of the Shenandoah and other Confede rate pirates. APPEARANCE OF THE SHIP THIS MORNINO. At one o'clock this morning, the firemen were still putting forth almost superhuman efforts to save the hull, and confine tbe fire to the Hlbernla. At .hat hour she had settled over on her starboard tide until It was on a line with the dock. All her masts and rigging were still standing, but the fiery element had triamDhed over the large volume of water that for six hours had been direoted upon it, and burst out through the decks and surrounded the masts and rigging. Much anxiety was felt lest the llatnes should extend lo several small craft lying alongside, one of which is loaded with coal oil. Hliould the falling musts of the Hiber ii In communicate the Are to this vessel, which is immediately under her bow, all Ihe efforts of the Fire Department cannot preveut the nre extending to the adjacent wharf aud store nouses. THE INSURANCE. It was impossible Inst night to learn the amount In which the Hibernia is Insured. Tno Cumuln Drofesses ignorance on the subject. From appearances presented by the vessel al one this morning tne nun win ue saveu. THE LOSS cannot fall far short of 8100.000. Fortunately the ship had been unloaded, to 1th the exception of fourteen hundred tons of pig iron and four teen bags of salt, or the los would have beeii in noli more serious. The ofllcers and crew lost everything they possessed, including their clothing, it is said that some Indiscreet person out tbe hawsers on the larboard side, which was the immediate muse of the burning of the ship, which made It very difficult for the firemen to direct the water mto tne noio. The police of the Second Preclnot, under Ser geants Blair and Laity, assisted by reserves from f irst and rourtii preciuuw, are ueterv- lng of praise for the euiclent manner In which tbey performed their duty. Officer Doyle, of the Harbor Police, was slightly Injured by a plank. N. Y. Herald. LARGE FIRE IN CHARLESTON, S. C. loss $75,000. From the Cliarleston News, April 29.

New Tore, May 2. The steamship Mary Chauncey, from Asplnwail April 24, has arrived, bringing $206,215 in upecle, and advices from Panama to the 23d tilt. The Star and Herald says that General Olarte, President of the State, tn view of the expected invasion by the forces of Leve de Goda, has issued orders to organize the militia and place them on a war footing, and in Panama the en listment is carried on with energy. Tbe United States steamer Osceola arrived at Asplnwail on the 16th ultimo, to relieve the Saco. The Star and Eerald denies the report put lorth by the Burgeon of the United States steamer Jamestown, that the yellow fever pre vailed at Panama, and says there had been no disease of the kind there except what was brought to the harbor by the Jamestown. The same paper says that, owing to the pre valence of the cholera to an alarming extent in Nicaragua, the steamers of the Panama Railroad Company have ceased, lor the pre sent, to take either canjo or passengers for Ccrinto. The steamer Rnoblne, several days overdue from Australia, arrived on the ICtn ult., having been detained by easterly gales. K. Johnston, chief teller of the Commercial Bank, Sydney, New South Wales, had been arrested for embezzlement. M'me Eecott had met witn great success there in opera.

Dates from South America to the 19th of April have been received at Panama. The election of deputies for the coming Congress had resulted in a Government majority in Chili. A very tem pestuous session was anticipated, and much attention will bj devoted to a reform of the constitution. The relations between Peru and Chill are far from cordial, and a termination of the Spanish question is all that is needed to leud to an open rupture. Peru was considerably excited by the resigna tion of the Ministry. There 1b little news from Ceutral America. Peace was thoroughly established In Guatemala, aod the country was progressing favorably. The Asiatic cholera is carrying off many vic tims in the principal cities of Nicaragua. In Leon one hundred deaths occurred in one day. FROM EUROPE BY THE CABLES. ITALY. DEATH OK CARLO POERIO, THE NEAPOLITAN STATES MAN AND ITALIAN EXILE. London, May 1. Poerio, the Neapolitan statesman and exile, is dead. The deceased was born at Naples in 1803. He be longed to a family distinguished for the ability and patriotism of its members. lie received an excellent education, and when yet a youth followed his father into exile. On his return he studied law, was admitted to the bar, and subsequently defended gratuitously many persons charged with political offenses before the High Court of Justice in his native city. He was frequently arrested under the old reyime in Naples, discharged, rearrested, imprisoned, and otherwise persecuted. When King Ferdinand was compelled to proclaim, a constitution, in lc4S, l'oerio was taken from prison and raised to honors of state. He represented the city of Naples in Parliament. For ten years subsequently he defended Italian liberty, but was finally thrown again into prison, from which he was released in lfeMl, and placed, with other political prisoners, on board a vessel bound to the United States. On the voyage, however, the exiles over powered the crew and compelled them to steer to Cork, Ireland, where they landed, and from whence they made their way to Bristol and London. Jn London Poerio made many friends. Returning to Italy he, in the year 1860, represented the city of Turin in Parlia ment. FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTEB800H. SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO EVENING TELEGRAPH.

A few days since a laboring man, who works in Woodruff's plaster mill, in this city, called upon one of our sur geons for the, purpose of having a tumor upon the neck, just under the angle of the jawbone, removed. The tumor was about the size of a large hen's egg, and had been there about ten years. After getting a history of the case, the surgeon Buspected that the tumor had been occasioned by some foreign substance such as a bone. Before attempting to remove the tumor it was laid open, and a fish bone, about tnree-qnarters of an inch long, and an eighth of an inch in diameter, of irregular shape, was discovered and removed. The patient had attempted to swallow this bone over twenty years ago, but it nad lodged in his throat, occasioning more or less trouble ever since. Nature had attempted to remove it, but had failed, as the bone had travelled through the neck about an inch, in a direction outward and downward, where it became encysted and remained. The tumor has since been removed, and the patient ia doing well, and attending to his daily labor. It seems strange that a foreign substance should remain so long im bedded in the flesh without decaying; but Nature prevented this by enveloping it in a cystio membrane. Albany Artjus. The Sancy Diamond. The Bombay papers mention the transmission to England, by letter post,' of the celebrated Sancy diamond. Although the story of the Sancy diamond is not as remarkable as that of some other his toric gems, it is sufficiently noteworthy. It was found on the body of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, after his defeat at Gran son, in 1476, by the Swiss. It was purchased in 1479 by the King of Portugal, and ten years later it was sold by him to Nicholas de Bailly, Baron de Sancy, from whom it derives its name. 1 he Baron de sancy sent it as a pre sent to the King of France, and the servant who had charge of the gift being attacked by robbers, proved himself equal to the occasion, and swallowed the diamond. We must assume that his death speedily followed on this act of devotion, for, according to the story, the stone was found in his body. It afterwards came into the possession of James II Kngland, by whom it was sold for JE25.000 to Louis XIV. During the French Revolution the Sancy diamond, as well as the more cele brated blue diamond, disappeared. The latter has never been recovered, but the former was purchased by Napoleon I, by whom it was afterwards sold to Prince Paul Demihoff. It is valued at $100,000to $150,000, is pear shaped, and weighs carats. Convebsions in Rushia.
