London, May 9. The representatives of the great powers commissioned to the Peace Con gress in this city reassembled in session this afternoon, alter the adjournment which took jlace on Tuesday and continued over Wediies hay. The second rneetine hue proved a success wUh reference to the difficult and important subject which the plenipotentiaries have been railed upon to treat as between France and PriiBsla, the Gruud Duchy of Luxembourg aud Holland. EJTbe question is Fettled in favor of peace. By the recorded minutes of the Congress. Luxembourg remains under the rule of the King ot Holland. The neutralization of the territory ot the Grand Duchy will be guaranteed toy the preat powcis of Europe. The lortress of Luxembourg will be evacuated by the Prussian tioops, aud razed to the ground. No troops will be retained within the territory of Luxem bourg except a force which may be necessary to maintain order and preserve the peace. Ti e pressure which was exerted on the pleni potentiaries iu the Con cress by the defiant atti tude which the opposing powers France and Prussia maintained towards eHch other, com bined with the knowledge which the members had of the great war preparations which were being carried on on the Continent, led to a very fpeedy action on the pare of the Conference re presentatives. There now remaio, meiely, the official and executive details of the proceedings to be set tied, which will be done in due form and speedily. The treaty ot settlement, which will of course be properly named and intitled, will be signed on Friday or Saturday next. THE NEWS IN PARLIAMENT. EARL DERBY'S ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE HOUSE OK LORDS, ETC. London, May 9. The House of Lords met in session this evening. Soon after the assemblage of the Peers, Earl Rassell rose and asked a ques tion of the Cabinet witn reiereuce to the pros pect of a settlement of the Luxembourg diffi culty bv the Peace Congress. Earl Derby, replying; to the question of Earl Russell, said that the Conference, or Peace Congress on the Luxembourg question, met in session to-day, and he believed, judging from the official reports of the proceedings which bad reached him, that all the existing difficul ties would be Immediately overcome by negotia-. tion. No treaty, nothing, in fact, had been yet signed, but there remained no doubt that the peace ot Europe had been practically secured. THE PEACEGUARANTEE. lord Stanley's announcement in the house ok common 8 what england guarantees tub situation critical, and prompt action re quired, etc. London, May 9. The House ot Commons as sembled this evening. Mr. Labouchere alluded to the Peace Congress negotiations, and in quired if the English Goverumcnt intended to guarantee the neutrality of Luxembourg with out first taking the opiuion of Parliament on such an important subject and so serious an official proceeding? Lord Btsnley, boreign Secretary, replying on behall ol the Cabinet, said the members ot the Peace Conference had met iu session for the second time to-oay, and although he could not at present enter into a detail of me proceedings, be might report that a substantial arrangement had been arrived at in the Conference on all the matters in dispute, so thtt an amicable settle ment of the Luxembourg question was practi cally realized at this moment. (Loud cheers followed the announcement) Lord Stanley proceeded to say that he con gratulated the House of Commons, and con gratulated the country at largp, on the fact that the good sense and moderation of the powers primarilv interested as parties in the Luxem bourg difficulty had bad the eflectof arresting the unspeakable calamities which would ensue to the people from a European war. With respect to the part taken by her Ma jesty's Government in the matter, the Cabinet acted In accordanct with constitutional usage, in their ministerial responsibility as the official advisers of the Crown and Sovereign, which responsibility, as well as the reasons which induced them to undertake it, they were ready to vindicate to Parliament, and before the country. The matter had become very critical. Ministers were informed every moni9Ut, by telegraph and otherwise, ot the increasing' gravity of the case, so he (Lord Stanley) could not take upon himself to postpone or delay an amendment desired by all the parties Interested and proposed in the Conference when by so doing he would most likely prevent altogether the maluiing and giving expression to the sentiment. V Ith reference to the guarantee of the neu trality ot Luxembourg, he (Lord Stanley) re gretted to observe that the House of Commons should show a susceptibility with regard to the action ot the Cabinet, tor he also voted the guarantee. The membeis of the House were aware that England and what was an uncom mon occurrence the remaiuder of the great powers who were parties to the Luxembourg and Belgo-Holland treaty of the year 1839, had absolutely guaranteed the territory ot Luxem bourg to the King of Holland at that time. What the Government bad now done was merely to adapt that guarantee to the present circumstances of the case, and render it effica cious in view or the changes which bad tanen place in the Germanic Confederation. Minis tor it not e-rtended. but. on the contrary. had rather limited the guarantee incurred fa 1839, and by that action contracted the respon .thiiit. iii-Vi the connU-v sustained under it.

In the House of Commons, this mami mHwviU yrw " bate on the subject of Mr. Disraeli's compro mise amendments to the original Derby Reform bill. Mr. Gladstone, ex-Chancellor of the Ex chequer, delivered a powerlnl speech agAinst the amendments and in opposition to the Government policy. The debate Is very animated and tbe House excited. A division is expected to take place to-night. The issue of the division is doubtful. If the Derby Cabinet is defeated, the Premier will certainly dissolve the Parliament and appeal to the people by a general election. THE DIVISION CLOSING SPEECHES OP GLADSTONE AND BRIGHT RKPLY OK THE CHANCELLOR OP THE EXCHEQUER THE DIVISION GOVERNMENT MAJORITY SIXTY-SIX. London, May 10 130 A.M. During the cloe of the debate in the House of Commons on the the Disraeli compromise reform amendment-), Mr. Gladstone said the Government bill was a shallow, transparent, and dissimulating pre tense of a measure tor the exteusion of the franchise, and he despaired of its ever being made a good or beneficial one by amendmeut iu tbe House. Mr. John Bright delivered a speech, in which he declared that the Derby bill was the most unjust and offensive measure ever submitted to the Commons of England. Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Disraeli defended the Government bill and plan. The debate closed after the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Strangers were then excluded from 1ho house, and the division taken. When thedoois were opened it was declared that the vote was for the Government bill thus: For Government, 322; against. 25G.

In the House of Lords this evening, Earl Derby, In reply to a question and remarks of Ear Cowper with reference to the Vtvtorin Leaguers' out-door meeting held in Hyde Park on Monday, the 7th instant, said that he, as bead of tbe Cabinet, took upon him self lully the responsibility attaching to the course pursued by the Government on the occa sion. Sir Robert Walpole, he said, had ten dered his resignation of the office of Home Secretary. A debate ensued ou the subject of the Hyde Park demonstration of the reformers, in the course of which Earl Russell and Earl Grey censured the course and conduct of the Gov ernment in severe terms.

PRIVACY OF THE DEAD A writer in the Saturday Review describes the manner in which a hero's life is picked to pieces so soon as he is in his grave. Newspa pers hunt down "characters" at the clubs, evening parties, etc., and regale their readers on the length of one hero's hair, and the whiteness of another hero's teeth. But such impertinences are blamed and discountenanced by educated men and women. Our writer adds: "As soon, however, as a hero dies he loses his claim to the protection of good maimers. xsaaea me literary giant comes into me worm, and naked he goes out of it. lie leaves behind, for the Inspection of the world at large, his character and his clothes, his manners and con versation, tue out or tils coat ana me color or bis hair, bis acquaintances, bis amours, and the exact shadoof bis theolouioal opinions. All Unit helms had or enjoyed iu life becomes the property of tbe literary harpies of the next age. Nobody thinks it wrong or indecorous to study the uiiuutlui of his appetite, or his per sonal habits. "The slaves of the lamp ot one generation are always busy over the private atfalrs of their predecessors, tbe slaves of the lamp ol tbe gene ration before. Not to know the chronological order of Lord Hvron's intrigues, the secret his tory ofMr. Shelley's marriages, or the autuentio details of Mr. Coleridge's oplum-eattug, is a sort of blot upon one's literary cultivatiou. Tbe thoroughly educated man is as rnucn at nome at Air. f ox s uinaer taoieas at ins own. For the slave of the lamp, when he is buried, there is no more privacy. The more secluded bus been his life, the greater tlie crowd whloli flocks to him when be Is dead, and Inquisitive biographers think no more of taking up their permanent quarters among hbs papers than the active tourist does of picnicking at the Pyra mids or on tbe site of the Veil. "An eminent Lord Chancellor is said to have once told the late Lord Campbell that his "Lives of the Chancellors' had succeeded In audlng an additional terror to deuth. It may perhaps reasonably be doubted whether contem porary fame is an adequate compensation for the prospectof having one's life and letters sub jected to tbe curious scrutiny of posterity. The two greatest poets that the world has ever known are slugulur in being an excepllou to the lot of their fraternity. .Nobody kuows any thing about Shakespeare, and Homer If there ever was a Homer may, at all events, lay clultn to the proud distinction ol having successfully battled the erudite erlorts of biographers. But, with few exceptions, most great writers have been so dug over and explored that any privacy which they may have desired during their lives la utterly lost and sacrificed at their decease." There is some consolation, however, the writer continues, to be found in the fact that the dead whose privacy we overhaul so un ceremoniously have usually died in profound Ignorance of the publicity that was to be con ferral npoji tlieja, RICHMOND. THE TRIAL OF JEFF. DAVIS. CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE TO rRBBIDB THE PRISONBR TO BE SENT TO RICHMOND TO-DAY NO DEMON STRATION BY THE PBOPLE TO BB ALLOWED. Richmond, May 10. It seems impossible to ascertain positively whether Davis will be tried or not. To-day, in conversation, Judge Under wood said that if the trial did not take plucu it would be because the attorneys on one side or the other were not ready to proceed; that the Court was ready, aud the Ch.cf Justice would preside. On the other hand, Mr. Chandler, the Dlttrict Attorney, expresses doubts as to whether the trial will take place. It Is asserted by one party that the Execu tive Department does not desire Davis to bo tried at all, while it Is anxious that he shall be released liom military custody, and the respon sibility for his further detention or his admission to bail shall be thrown upon the Judiciary. As the programme is now arranged, the coun sel tor the tiovernnient will not resist the dis charge ot the prisoner from military custody, who will, in that event, be at on.'o arrested upou a bench-warrant under the Norfolk indictment: which being done, and Goverumcnt counsel profei-siug themselves not ready lor trial, they will not resist the application ou behult' of the prisoner for admission to bail authority for which is found iu the act ot September 24, 1781). But to-night Mr. Chandler proceeds to Washing ton to mceu Attorney-General Sianbcry aud Mr, hvarts, when; to-niorrow they will have a fur ther consultation with the (loverumcnt, and the three will In any event reach this city on Sunday evening with a course of procedure finally marked out. The declaration of Judge Underwood that Judge Chase will preside, makes it probable that it the latter is not here ou Monday, as now seems likely to be the case, the whole mutter may dc postponed until his arrival. j rne statement that the tiraua Jury nave in dicted the proprietors of certain newspapers in this city is utterly without foundation. No steps to that end have or will be taken. To-day the Grand Jury, alter consultation witn General Schotield, refused to Indict the street-car cou ductor for the ejection ot the neio Scott ou Friday last. Davis will be brought up by special boat to morrow, the purpose to bring him by regular boat having been abandoned. Rooms for his reception are being prepared at the Spotts wood. General Schofield and Mayor Mayo have re quested ihe various newspapers to notify the people not to assemble on the streets upon the arrival of Mr. Davis, us no demonstration of any kind nor any crowd win De allowed. General Schobeld has just received a desoatch Irom the fort to have carriages at Rocketts to morrow evening lor General Burtou and Jell'er son Davis and wife. Davis will occupy the same room at the Spottswood that be did wheti be first came here as President of the Confederacy. There is a tumor in circulation that he will arrive to night, but It is apparently unbounded. N. Y. 2in,es. CONDITION OF THE CITY. TUB RECENT RIOT MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED. Washington, May 10. From Richmond to day I learn that the disturbance of yesterday is the subject of deep and earnest discussion iniong all classes there. Those having the in terest and welfare of the community at heart are grateful that riot and bloodshed, which would probably Inaugurate a war of races, was averted. The whites generally regret tbe occurrence though they teel absolved irom aDy blame by non-participation in it, the whole being mainly attributable to the negroes, who. under the influence ot incendiary politicians. are not to De controlled, rue forbearance ot tbe police in not using their firearms is com mendable. The effective manner in which the military dispersed the mob, under the order of General Schotield, exasperated the negroes to such a degree that they now vow vengeance against the 11th United States Infantry, who ou some future occasion are to be roughly dealt with. It is feared that the expected arrival of Mr. Davis in Richmond will be the signal tor a riot, which will exceed in atrocity any of tue pre vious riots in the Soutb. It has lately been manifest that the neeroes have been tor some time seeking the ditliculty that culminated yes terday. The following additional intelligence has just been received from Richmond, Va.: Tbi-s even ing, at the African church, there was a large and demonstrative meeting of negroes, ostensi bly to ratify a convention held last month, but in reality to listen to demagogues. Confiscation was, as usual, greeted with the loudest demon strations ot approval, and one of the Boston orators could have had his policv conveuieutly carried out when he told his colored hearers, after protecting the life of Judtre Underwoo J, to hold high carnival. Alter his departure the negroesj if agreeably disposed, miuht be apt t held such kind of carnival as would result in pillage and massacre. The negroes still feel very excited over the. events ot last evening. Quite a number ot them have been discharged from employment in the hotels and restaurants of the city, who were engaged in the disturbance. Tae white citizens are feeling nervous at the consequences likely to flow from tbe triumph ot the negroes over tbe law and the police. Judee Underwood, Uunuicutt, and all those white men who have been insidiously exciting the negroes to insurrection, are clearly respon sible tor the proceedings of yesterdvty. .V. Y. Herald. Grammatical Qymnaptics. Mr. Beecher, iu his new story, accomplishes the hitherto un paralleled feat iu syntax of using a personal pronoun in the opening paragraph of Chapter III., while the antecedent remains in the middle of Chapter II. Thus: "Rachel Lis comb, daughter of Deaoon Liscomb, looked at him one day as they walked home from meet ing, with a look he never got over." No clue to the person who was looked at is given short of the preceding chapter as aforesaid. Mr. Beecher's rhetoric is equally slovenly. Hia most partial admirer cannot claim any majesty or sublimity for the figure he thus expresses. "Js the soul confused r Why not, when the divine spirit rolling clear across the aerial ocean breaks upon the heart's shore with all the mystery of heaven!" The picture pre sented is the spirit of love going through the process of reaching a chosen heart, not by the old pagan mode of arrow-shooting, but by the modern plan of rolling, finally breaking by concussion on the shore of the viscus aimed at. We doubt if even Sir Boyle Roche could have accomplished a greater mixture of meta phor in the same number of lines. We re gret to add that the first instalment of the story shows that Mr. Beecher has not suc ceeded in overcoming his old habit in the pul pit, so charmingly noted iu the Ledqer adver tisementsthe habit of keeping back his best things. So the public must hope and keep on buying the paper in the firmness of faith. Signs op the Times. A letter from Vienna says that an old Austrian huntsman has called the attention of sporting men and agricul turists to the fact that woodcocks are this year nearly three times as numerous as in previous seasons, and this is prognosticated as a sure sign of great agricultural fertility and abun dant wine Larvettti . TUE PRIZE RING. FIGHT BETWEEN ELLIOTT AND DAVIS, IN CANADA STAKES, 2(I00 ROUNDS, NINE TIME, ELEVEN MINUTES BLLIOTT THE WINNER BT A FOUL FIEIIT BETWEEN FITZGERALD AND RRED IN COLORADO STAKES, flOOO ROUNDS, NINTT BIX TIME, ONB HOUR AND FORTY-KINB MINUT6S REED THE WINNER. Cleveland, Ohio, May 10 The steamer City or Sandusky lelt this naroor last evening at ten minutes past 11 o'clock, for parts unknown, with about three hundred passengers on board, bouud to witness the Ion tiilkf d-''f battle be tween Jimmy Edlott.of New York. and William Davis, of Caliiornia, lor $1000 a side. As tbe Sandusky ueared the Canada shore, at early dawn, anxious eyes were sweeping the horizon In search of tbe Davis bout. At last a faint puff of smoke was seen away In the dis tance, and at fifteen minutes past 7 o'clock: the wrecker steamer Magnet, of Detroit, having on board Davis and bis trainer, Johnny Mack, ot Detroit, besides about two hundred and fifty passengers came alongside. There was a good deal of cruising about for a good lanuing spot before this object could be effected, and it was not till half-past nine that the Sandusky was secured to the rude dock at Point l'elee island. The Magnet came up about ball an hour alter. Tbe Detroit party was not as orderly as the one from Cleveland. On tho way down two or three free fights of the bloodiest character took place on the Magnet, one man having half ot an ear bitten oil', uud another miserable youth losing two-thirds of a little linger, which was devoured by his opponent. That portion ot Point l'elee that had been selected for the battle was a quiet pi. ice, a Mat region interspersed with woods uud open y. lades. A spot iu a grassy side Held not far b.icU i ron i ine latulinn was selected ior too ring, ami the work of pitching 11 commenced without un necessary delay, under the supervision of the veternn Mackay. The articles of agreemeut for the match be tween Elliott and Davis were signed on the 1st of April last. Elliott has been iu training ever since at Jim Brown's, Cleveland, aud Davis at Johnny Mack's, Detroit. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock Elliott shied his castor into tho i inx, aud his tall, lithe form quickly followed it. Ills appearance was the signal for loud cheers. Davis put iu au ap pearance at thirty minutes past ten o'clock, and whs likewise generously cheered. He walked straight to Elliott's corner and cordially shook him by the bund. tieorge O'Mally, ot New York, was chosen referee. The umpires were Mctilnuls, of Detroit, for Elliott, and Arthur Gore, of Detroit, for Davis. Elliott was attended by Jim Brown and Jack Henry. Davis' seconos were Johnny Muck and Joe Cole. The colors of the former were purple, with a white liower In the corner. Davis' colors were white, with a purple spray. At three minutes before eleven o'clock time was called, and the men squared for the tight. Hound 1. Alter a little sparring Elliott shot out his li-tl, hitting Davis a Minting blow over the riht eye, drawing blood. Cries ot"t Irst blood far KUIolt," aud cheers. Davis countered heavily ou the Jaw, soon alter which he was kuockea clean oil his feet by a backhander from Klllott, aud was can led to bis cor ner, l ime, two and a hall minutes. Hound 2. Klllott got home over Davis' eye. Davis countered heavily on Klllott's J iw. Immediately after which Klllott planted a terrlllc blow mat opened an old wound on Davis' left cheek-bone, which had been lnude In a previous liKht with McCoole, followlug it up by knocking him down la hn (Elliott's) coruer, 'l ime one minute. Hound 8. Davis came up cautiously and appeared contused by the celerity ot Klllott, who danced about him seemingly with the power of hitting him when and where he chose, without tbe possibility of being countered upon. Klllott got a couple of blows on the nose and mouth, Davis going down. A claim of foul was here made, but was not sustained. Time, halt a minute. Hound 4. Klllott opened wltb a smashing blow with his right under Davis' left arm. which turned him halt round, when he was kn eked down by a cruel blow on tbe neck from Elliott's left. Time, halt a minute. Hound S. Davis came up all abroad and fighting en tirely on the defensive. Klllott led on" with his left, and got on the nose and body of Davis, the latter countering with his left and going down. Time, liulf a minute. Hound C. Davis commenced operating by levelling a staggering blow ou Klllntt's Jaw, who returned It with a stinger on the lelt cheek, again knocking Davis down. Time, ten seconds. Hound 7. Elliott went quick to work, and knocked Davis off his feet by a blow on the breast. Cries of foul were raised, to which Davis gnod-humoredly re piled, as he was being carried to bis coruer, "Do you call It foul to knock a man down? ' Time, hull a minute. Hound 8. Davis was again knocked down with a swinging blow in the back. Time, five seconds. Hound 9. and last. Davis went dowu without a blow, at which the referee decided Elliott the wiuuer ot the tight. This announcement had no sooner beou made than Elliott exclaimed, "lean whip auy man In the United Stales for SlWX) in one mouth from to-day." The battle commenced at three minutes before 11 o'clock, aud was finished at seven aud a-hulf mfnutes past 11. Elliott hud the light bis own wuy, Davis only going to the scratch to be knocked down or finished, us his opponent saw ht. There was no disorder on the ground during the allair, both bouts starting home ward immediately after it was over, the City of Sundusky reaching the harbor at a few minutes past 4 o'clock this afternoon. Au Immense crowd gathered at the steamboat lundiug to get a peep ul the conqueror, and much cheering wus indulged In ou Elliott's appearance. Charlie Ualingher, of this city goes into training for his right with Elliott on the 9th of July next. FITZGERALD AND REED. Dfavenwoktii, Kansas, May 10.

HIS CORDIAL RECEPTION 11 B IS WAITED UPON BY SOMB OF THE MOST WEALTHY AND INFLUENTIAL CITIZENS OF THE STATE, ETC. New Orleans, May 10 The advent of Judge Kolley, of Philadelphia, lu this city has pro duced considerable excitement among the loyal people, and has inspired no little hopefulness in the radical politicians. The ex Kebols are not over-pleased with the matter, so their news paper organs almost Ignore Mr. Kelley's mis sion, while the rank and file do not disguise their belief that the reign of disloyalty Is near its close. The Judge held a levee to-day tn the City Hall, where a large concourse of tbe most re spectable people waited upon him. Among others were Governor Weils, Judge Howell, Heistand Warmoulh, and the veteran Judiie Taliaferro, who denounced the lie ho Is at the Secession Convention; United States Commis sioner Shannon, State Attorney-Ueneral H. D. Lynch, Major liunias, and Arlslide Marc, gentle tin n of large fortune, nnd formerly slave owners, who, though apparently white, are classed with tlw proscribed race. Professor Vallas, of Alexandria College, where General Sherman studied, Colonel A. I.

From the evidence it appears that several Inmates ol the bouse caused au estrange ment between Mr. Moore and his wife, and, as the lady berselt says, the disrespect with which these li mates treated her made her home unbearable, (-he repeatedly applied to herhusband for a correction of these evils, and he repeatedly promised that he would se to It; but it was never attended to, and the result was a separation. The wile says that If her liiii-iiand will not support her, she will become a cl urgeot the Guardians of the Poor. But the Court said that the question was, whetner her friends, her husband, or the almshouse would have to support the lady. '1 he matter is not yet concluded.

The mantle of Artemus has fallen, . etc. At least so say our contemporaries, who got into that habit at the demise of Tyrone Power, and have kept in it ever since. But the mantle of the Celtic comedian had an un pleasant tendency to slip from the shoulders of its recipients before it had fairly got the hang of their figures. Thus, we remember it, on its fluttering away from the form of Collins to another, whose name we have forgotten, whence it glided to Brougham. Mark Twain is a successful lecture actor a cross between Hackett and Josh Silsbee in fact, a Western "Yank." His name, to indicate his elocution ary quality, should be Twang. But his twang is jolly, and genial in its resonance. His open ing hit, made by ingenious repetition of a thrice-told tale, recalls Doestick's first produc tion (originally a private letter to a friend), desoriptive of a trip to Niagara and a marvel lously multiplied glass of ale. We were able to hear only a portion of the lecture, but heard enough to make us thankful that the fate which has taken away Artemus has left us Twain. "May his tribe increase." Zoological. The Jardin des Plantes has lately received several new animals from South America, including a young stag of great elegance. It has also received a gigantic crab from Japan, the fore legs of which are four feet one inch in length. LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. PORT OF PHILADELPHIA. .MAT 11.
