Family Arrangement for the Treatment f Ilcr llealtb. JVow 7i Afemoritil D plomaUqite , Julj 10. We receive afflicting new from Miramar. Tbe Empress Carlotta, separated about a year ajro from tier hnsoand, deprived during more than three months of all direct intelligence, and alter Laving become a prey since the de par tine of the French troopa to tne keenest emotions and roost poignant anxieties, has just fallen into a moral piostratlon of the most alarming character. Her Majesty no longer teems to have any consciousness of what is pacing around her, and remiins plunged In a gloomy reverie from which Or. Illek has not (or a moment been able to rouse her, not even when he announred the eruel event which wounds her to craelly in her dearest affections. The complete indifference with which the unfortu nate Princess received that redoubtable blow bat too well justifies the fear that science will sow be powerless to save that fine intellect. As Dr. Hick had, from the first, made himself responsible lor (he enre of the Empress, Maxi milian I, who bad placed all his confidence in him, left bim absolute master ot the treatment to be followed. For that reason neither the Austrian family nor the Court ot Brussels ven tured to interfere in a matter so delicate. .At the present time, the Emperor of Mexico having fallen nnder the murderous balls of the J u arista, the riehts of the two families will naturally be substituted for the authority of the husband. With that object the Queen of the Belgians has left Brussels to be present at the family council assembled at Salzburg, and thence her Majesty will proceed to Miramar. Tbe medical men are of opinion that a final experiment ought to be made, by transporting the Princess Charlotte into the midst of her youthful reminiscences in the Palace of Lack en. That fltep will, in fact, be adopted as soon as an assurance can be enter tained that this long journey can be accom plished without aggravating tho state of the augast invalid. NAFOLEON'S POSITION. Austria. Halation with Franco. From the Heue Freindenblatt of Vienna, July 9. Toe journey ot their Majesties to Paris can only be postponed by tbe catastrophe that has occurred in Mexico. The Emperor and Kmpress will not be disposed to take part in any festivi ties, but, for all that, the expedition is not abandoned. We leatn, on the contrary, that it is certain. There is attached to it a political importance of too great a scope to admit of a renunciatiou of the project. By the very reason ot the deplorable event In Mexico the relations between Austria and France can only become more intimate; for, we repeat, in presence of the burning questions raised In Europe by the violent and unjust system of Count Bis mark, and by tbe vast projects of the Cabinet i of Bt. Petersburg, they constitute the last guarantee lor tne peace of Europe. THE UNITED STATES SQUADRON. Admiral Goldsborauith's JTorce at Cher bourg. From Galignam's Metstnirer. July 10.

TURKEY. Report of Omar Pasha The Insurrection Nearly Crushed. The following official news, dated SpUnkia, July 6, has been received from O uar Pasba: "Nearly all the districts have submitted to the Turkish troops, and the insurgents nave given np their arms. On the 5th List, the Im perial troops were disembarked at Castlcfrunco, and to-day they routed the insurgents and occu pied several villages, and put the rebels to flight. In tbe pursuit the soldiers occupied the highest mountains of Sphukla. Everywhere the insurgents are difoersed; and one body having tauen refuge in the caverns of the mountains, are closely invented by the Imperial troops, who to-night will signal their presence and success by sending up rockets from the tops of tbe mountains. The disarmament of nearly atl the districts has been effected under most lavoraole auspices and most successfully, more than 60,000 rifles having been forwarded to the authorities" Tbe officer who arrived here with the report from Omar Paba reported that the junction ot the sea and land forces in Sphakia was expected to take place on the 7th lust. ITALY. Tho Church Property Bill. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the lOtb. of July, tiipnor Katazzl stated his views relative to the Ecclesiastical Properties bill. He said that the Government coincides with tho recom mendations ot tbe committee for the complete execution of the law of 1860, and accepts the suggested method for alienation of the property, but will propose modifications rendering it more hpneficial lo the Treasurv. Tne Government could not accept 400,000,000 of lire as the 6um to be raised, 600,000,000 beine necessary to include tbe abolition ot the forced currency, and new taxes being also necessary to satisfy Europe that they are resolved to meet their obligations. The present time was inop portune for granting unrestricted liberty to the Church; lull liberty will be granted to the Church when she recognizes the full liberty of the State. Eignor Rattazzl considered the pre sent Episcopate more than sufficient, but could not accept the proposal of the corarnittee that no new bislioD shall be appointed until the number of the Episcopate shall have beeu re duced, as tbe nomination ot Di.nops is a prero gative ot the Crown.

MR. MERRILL. The Rev. Mr. Merrill, whose recent disap pearance from Plattpfeurgb, New York, after being charged with most diegiacelul conduct in connection with a young lady In North Adams, Massachusetts, led many to suppose he had committed suicide a supposition strength ened by tbe fact that a portion of his clothes weTe found by the banks of a river In the vicinity of tbe town has made his appearance In the west, and written a letter to the Troy '1 imcfl, in which he recounts his experience from the time be entered the ministry until the pre sent. He says that ever since he commenced to preach, in 1h48, he has been constantly in debt, and to this lact alone he charges all his troubles. He says: In IMS I left school, at the request of several minis ters, and weut lo Warreu Circuit to aid the preaeners stationed upon that Held. Tbe circuit comprised six towns, t was a poor boy, but eighteen years old, bad thin, poor clothes, and was ovtr In debt. A gentlenaa gave me a caHt-ofT overcoat to keep me Irom sullering with tbe cold, and another gave tne tbe use of a horse for part of ttie year. 1 hoped to be able to save enough to pay my debts and get me some clothes that year. But the other two ministers had lam I lea uei eudent upon Uiem tor support, and tne people, lor the most part, were poor, and It to ik all they could give to lake care of them- to I worked through tbe year and received but four dollars aud my boaid. At the close of the year I was sent to another circuit, where I wai compel le' to buy a noise and carriage. I had no money, and run Into debt for these, aud alno tor clothes to wear. At the end of tbls year I found that my Income had been a trine lexs than I '00. Of course my debts remained unpaid. 1 hey began troubling me. 1 ought to have stopped preaching then and gone Into some oihor hUHineBS and paid my debtB. But I was now engaged to be married, and my pride rose npagainst going and making an opes acknowledgment that I must mop preaching and go to work to pay my debts. This ws my first tad mlntake. But others said I had better continue lo preacu; I would get better pay In tne future. Ho I honed, and so I believed. 1 was mvrrlei, and inade the 'best show 1 could tor housekeeping. At tbeCfnferenceoflf.il I was appointed to Warning, ton Mountain, Mass. With my wife and one child I went lo my post, Tbere I found no hou'e to live In and nothing to keep bouse with. Tbere was no church, but an old store in wblcb to preach. I went to work with a good heart, but troubled with my debts on every aide. I sold my none to help tne to live. At the end of the year I weut to tbe Conference, and reported a new church finished and paid for, I had received t'4X salary. At this Conference I was removed 20 miles, to tne inaoa line in veruionu i uaa not one dollar to pay my expenses. I borrowed the money, took my sick wile, wftb a babe but three weeks old In her weary arms, and far among strangers we made our sao way, jiere too, i iouna a neia or nve towns to travel over, and no means to buy a horse. Then I ought to have slopped preachlug. But nu; a gentle man irnsieu nie tor a nora anu carriage, now i was In debt (duo, My conscience told rue 1 ought logo into some other busliiess and pay my debts. But pride, and the III-limed advice of friends, kept me back. This winter I was to thinly clad, and so exposed to the fearlul cold of that mountain region. mat my ucann gave way, ana sicgness ana expense iollowtd. Two years alter my eldest daughter was stricken down with hlp-Jolnt disease, Irom which she has never recoveied. For days aurf mouths we carried ber in our arms. We ielt nothing undone which love could suggest or skill accomplish to gain relief, but all In vain. Now X bad not only debts overwhelming me with coufusiur, hut a living tleath tilling our hearts with the proloundeat sorrow. Oh, the anguish of those days none can teil. Thus the days patstd heavily on, and my burdens bowed me to tbe very dust. In IMil I was appointed to the city ot Albany. Tbe gloom and horrors of civil war were now coming upou the nation. For one year I performed the work of my ministry as faith fully ai I knew how, and at the same time de voted my energies and Influence to aid the war com rn Ittees in sustaining public meetings aud se curing volunteers for the army. In lstli wentwlth my regiment, the 177th Mew York, to the held of content, I stayed as long as I could, aud did my duty as well as I knew bow. I bad left my wile wui seven heirless children to care for, that I might do something for my country In ber hour or trial and danger. This service bad so Increased my financial embarrassments that It seemed to me I must sink aud go distracted At this time I made several attempts to get Into business lo relieve myself aud pay my debts. I hose who trusted me, felt uard because! did not pay them, I waited my house or the open Btreets day alter day, not knowing what to do. I preached as well as 1 could under such trials. I many times even contemplated suicide. But from this my whole moral nature recoiled with horror. When those whom I owed asked me lor money, I would give them all I had, and promised ibetn more as soon as 1 could get lt. I ought to have laid aside all pride, and appealed to a generous pnbllo to help me, But I thought my lamlly would feel disgraced, and look upon themselves as paupers. Ho I boped for belter days, aud suffered on. My conscience meanwhile began to grow more and more Indillerent to duly. I sought temporary relief In travel and society, I sought the more joyous and wordiy persons fur company. In 1864 I was statioued at Nortu Adams. Here f found a generous and good people. I tried to serve them faithiully and well: Indeed, I worked beyond my strength. In a protracted meet ing which I held tbere I was engaged one hundred and twenty-three nights In succession. My nervous system became weak and over-excited. My debts perfectly overwhelmed me at limes, I sought tbe so ciety of the youug, and where the most freedom and gaytly could be lound there I visited most frequently. This gave occasion for talk. Borne scandal soon started In connection wltb my name. Bui as God is true, I only sought tbls society In preference to the more sober to drown the trouble ot my mind. I was proud and wlllul, and would not llsteu to the counsel of irleuds. Up to this time my reputation as a minister bad not materially a nil e red. As the last year drew to a close, my reputation was sullering mure than I was at tin- time aware of. I was indis creet. I called at tbe bouse ot the family with whom my name has been sosadly.assoclated.morefrequeBily tliiin 1 ought to have done. I did not only mvseil an injury, but the lamlly also. But Uod knows I did nut Inlend to injure any oue. Two or three of the family were members of the choir, and excellent slugers. This served lo furnish relief from tno gloom aud darkness which had settled down upon me. I always appeared cheerluU But It was alt put on. I was miserable Indeed. When on my way West I met the lady whose name baa been so unfortunately associated with my own in Troy, and accompanied ber to Albany a most careless aud iuiurudent Bten. This nave occasion for that an fill article which appeared In the 'J'Uiu a, charging us with au elopement. When that article was puulUued we were piom than two hundred miles apart, and wnen the paper was banded me and 1 read the article tbe last ray of light seemed lo he extinguished, i was on my way borne. Oh Uod! my mind wandered and uiy brain was ou fire. I tried to pray. I wept and walked the boat. 1 returned to Troy and secured a retraction In the papers. But whatever paper I look In my bands from distant parts of the country, in y eyes were borrllied with the moat extravagant aud lalse statements In relation to me. And I here desire lossy, that no part of the blame or censure belonging lo me tor Impudence or wrong doing in this whole mailer sli uilu be cast upon lue youug lady Involved iu litis sad arlalr. I am older, and ou lev uncovered bead let the blows ol condem nation full, lam to blame. Every fair-minded per son will see that what I now say canuot be said to screen me or in any way help my case, further than as truth will do it. But as Uod Is my judge, aud as I expect to give a strict account at ills bar in the last great day for all 1 speak and do, aud as I hope for acquittal when all men shall Bland si enl before Uod, so lar as any crime Is concerned with me, or any ol ber being on earth, as far as I know, that youug lady Is as pure as the stars that shine over her head by night or the sun which lights ber path by day. He further says his troubles worried him so much ho resolved to commit suicide, and actually made the attempt, but when in tbe water he thought of his wife and children, and he repented ot his design. He tbeu tied to the West, where he wrote to his family. Tne letter clo.scs with a piteous appeal for charitableness aud lorgtvene-ss. MURDER IN NEW CITY, NEW YORK. A Man Sentenced to DeatU Shoots a Deputy Sheriff In Nw City Jail, and Tbin Kills Himself. A. terrible deed was committed at New City, Rockland count?, op Monday last, 'lue circum stances, as tDt'j nave been related, are as iot lowt: A man named Franz Kcker was Im prisoned in the jail ol tbe above place. He had been convicted of murder in the lirst degree, and sentenced to be hung. A stay of proceed hiRs, with tho view or obtaining a new trial, wan procured on the 30th of May last, tbe day previous to that named for the execution. These proceedings, it would appear, must have turneu ou umavuraoiy to the prisoner, un Sunday last tbe wile of the prisoner visited hlia in his cell in the ail. On Monday the Deputy Sheriff, Mr. Thomas L. De Nojelles, suspecting that there was some thing wrong, went to Kcker's cell, accompanied by a negro. Mr. De Noyelles proceeded to nn lock tbe door, and lust as he drew tt open, Ecker, Irom within, fired a revolver at him, tho ball Btrikinjr the Deputy bhenff ou the side of the face near tbe nose, breaking the jaw In its pasttage, and lodging in the fleshy part of tho neck. A second shot was fired, aud this, it is supposed, was also aimed tat Mr. De Noyelles, but subsequent Inquiry proved that this was not the esse. The news of the attack on Mr. Da hojellcs soon spread, and a crowd RathTinn about the prison, muttered threats atrainst Bcker ot "1 nchine" him As there are but one or two persons employed about the jail, an Individual from the crowd volunteered to proceol to Kcker's cell tor the purpose ot a-.sitinr in secu ring bim lest lurtber violence miirht be at tempted, when, to his horror, he saw the pri soner lying on the floor ot his cell weltering- in bis blood, his brains scattered all about the place. On examination of the prisoner's person it was seen that he had shot himself with tbe second discharge of the weapon by placing It close to his ear, the hall pasing through and driving out his eye. The pistol, a five-shooter, with two of tbebatrels discharged, was found in the cell, together with a sledec-hammer ani a chisel. Various are the reports in circulation in refer ence to this shootintr affair. One of these reports is that tbe wife of the prisoner, while visiting him on Sunday, brought the weapons to the prison and left them with thn unhappy man. so that he ml?bt destroy himself, and thus avoid the disgrace of being killed by the rope. A maa, it Is stated, has come forward and declared that he boarded with the wile of the prl soner, and that she had offered him six weeks' board if he would take a pbtol to Ecker in the prison. This the man declined to do. The woman then made bkn an offer ot $20 if be would comply with her request, but this also he refused to Ifsten to. Mrs. Bcser, who is the mother of three children, wa arrested on Mon davnigbt, in the village of Haverstraw, and lodtred in jail. Mr. De Noyelles t9 in a critical state, bis wound being a severe one. There have been several surmises as to why tbe prisoner fired at and shot that gentleman. A cqui muni cation appeared some time since reearding the prisoner, who did not like the statements con tained therein. He seems to have attributed the authorship of the document to tbe Sheriff, and thus took this mode of revenging himself on its supposed author. It is needless to say that the tragedy has created tbe greatest consternation in the neigh borhood. JV. Y. Herald. DOUBLE MURDER IN VERMONT. A Frenchman Murders a Han and Ills Ife-A Little Child the Only Witness of the Tragedy, . Speingpikld, Mass., July 23. The little vil lage of Ascutnevville, four miles south of Wind sor, Vt., was thrown into a state of intense excitement this morning by the discovery that Mr. Gowing, a well-to-do farmer of that place, had been murdered, and that his wite had met the same fate. The crime was committed by a Frenchman, who was employed by Go wing last summer, and knew ihat Gowing usually kent several hundred dollars in the house. He called Gowinur to the door by shonting that the cows were in the corn, and as soon as he opened the door felled him to the floor with an axe and beat his brains out. The Frenchman then rushed to the room where Mrs. Go wine was in bed.and murdered her in a like horrible manner. In the same room was a little girl in a trundle bed, who was the only witness of the tragedy and who knew tbe Frenchman by his voice. After rifling the house the murderer escaped, but it is rumored he has been arrested. ; . NEWS FROM RICHMOND. The Cases of the Superintendent of the Poor and the Justices of the Hustings Court. Richmond, Va., July 23. The removal of Charles Bigger Irom tbe office of Superintendent of the Poor House, by order ol General Scho fleld, was a general topic of comment and con versation to-day. The friends of John 11. Pierce, his successor, say General SchoQeld had no other alternative, under tbe recent additional Reconstruction bill of Congress. Bieger's friends say that Pierce, whose wife is Assistant Matron in the institution, was iu tne habit of visiting the place and taking his meals gratuitously, to which Bieaer obiected, and thereupon Pierce informed General Schotield that he was turned out ot the building where bis wile held a situation, and that he was a eood Union man, etc Tne order of removal is simply a few lines, directing Pierce to till the position, without stating the reason. The truth would appear to be that Bigger, having been a Post Office assistant before the war, is unqualided to hold office under the present state of affairs. The reply of the Justices of the Hustings Court to General Schofleld's letter requesting an explanation in tho case of Hortze aud Hovey, failed to be submitted to the General commanding to-day. as intended. The impres sion prevails that the Justices discover them selves in an unpleasantly tight place, aud that the decision iu the above case catinot be justi fied by any manipulation of terms. To morrow tbe interesting document will be taken to head quarters for inspection. CRICKET.

An Amusing Document front China, The Emperor of China has issued a decree for the establishment of a European college at Tekin. The Minister Ouojen, it seems, op posed the founding of this college, and the decree argues with him and disposes of his hostility. The memorial of Ouojen saya that "in a country bo vast as China every talent can be found. If astronomy and tho other sciences are necessary, Chinese letters will be found by means of which they can be taught." Thereupon the decree rejoins: "Let Ouojen, then, seek for the letters of which he speaks. We hereby entrust him personally with the duty, and give him authority to open a school, over which he will preside and teach the things taught in the European sohool. The examinations will show at a later time the relative merits of the scholars of the two schools." Houses In England and Wales.

Nor are we unmindful or Ihe truth, ibat In Ihe military genius which could surmount' all obstacles tn the late sanguinary struggle, Is implied tbe poSHenhlon of Intellectual powers which are the country's need In tbe midst of ditticul cullies fallowing the train of victorious war. At tne same time, throughout his career at Washington, as a director and advlxer iu matters pertaining as well to civil as to military administration, we recognize qualities of wisdom and sagacity, of uprightness and Inflexibility, of energy ami moderation, peculiarly demanded by the highest trust which the people can bestow. , Jittolved.

That ln calling Grant to assnnae the civilian's robe, and to beal the wounds or a long and dreadful war, our people will but emulate toe wise example of the father who summoned Washington iiom the shades of Mount Vernon, until, under his fonlerlng care, seeds planted on the red fields of the Kevolutl' U had blossomed In the green gardens of peace, Tbe wisdom ot tboe ratuera was followed by their descendants wilh results not lees auspicious, when Jackson was placed iu the Presidential oillce, and the desolations of the second war with Great Britain were followed by tbe fruits of eudurlng prosperity. And It Is a truth that tbe American people will not forget, that no President who had served bis country well and wisely in the camp, ever disappointed those who, advancing to bim lueclvlo wreath, entrusted him with the highest olUce In the naMon. Mr. Smith, in offering the resolutions, made some brief remarks, in which he referred to the services of General Grant in the field, and to the bene lit which would result to the nation from his election to the Presidency of the United States. The resolutions were then put and unani mously adopted, after which the meetin? ad journed. JJWortd. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. Court of Quarter Sessions Judge Pelree. In tbe case of tbe Common wealth vs. Patrick: Kane, Sr., Patrick Kane, Jr., Francis Kane, William Kane, and Mary Kane, charged wltb. askaultand battery, before reported, tbe Jury rendered a verdlctofgni ty as to William Kane, andnot guilty aa to tue otbers. The court fined tbejgutlty party S5 and the costs, and ordered bim to enter seourlty ln 1000 to keep the peaee lor one year. Abner Lebrante was ebarged wltb assault and battery upon Millard Mullin. Both parties are very small boys. Millard Mullin testified that when he was playing ln his mother's yard one day, Abner Lebrante came to tbe opposite side of the fence and bored a little bole through a plank. He then said, "Millard, look ttiroueh tbls bole: I see you, can you see me?" Millard answered that he could not, and Abner told bim to put his eye right near tbe hole. lie did so, and. Abner ' ran .a Igimlet Into his eye. The eye was severely Injured, though the sight was not destroyed. Tbe defendant stated to tbe Jury tbat Millard told him to bore the bole through tbe fonoe.and be did so. He put a stick through tbe hole, and Millard broke lt oh. Millard then told bim to put tbe gimlet through tbe hole, so that be might see it, and as be did so he heard Millard scream. He asked him if he was hurt, aud be said be was. He then said be was very sorry, and there was an end to tbe whole affair. Tbe two boys, it appears, have always qeen on very good terms. The District Attorney stated the law of the case to tho Jury, the defendant being only eleven years of age. Persons under the age of seven years are ln luw non dull oapax, utterly unable to commit crime; and persons between the ages of seven and , eleven are doit e 'pux, and may commit crime, hut when persons between tbe ages of seven and eleven are charged with an ollence.lt fa necessary to produce facts that will raise the presuinptlou of millce, as well as to prove the commission of an aot by the defendant, for the law will not presume malice; but ln regard to persons above the; age of eleven years, tbe law presumes tbat they In tended to do what they really do, and the pre sumption of malice accompanies the act. Ver dict not guilty. George Stroud was charged with perjury lu swearing falsely before Alderman Kiddie. The witnesses for the Commonwealth testified thut the defendant went ball for a man named Nay lor, and swore tbat he was the lawful owner of a certain lot lu Wager (now Haokley) street, between Fourth aud Fifth. The persons who lived in the neighborhood testified that some of the owners of ihe property there were known to them, but that they did not know that the uelenda nt owned property there. The Assessor's books were pi odueed, and the list of property in Wager street assessed was read over, but no house or lot was found assessed to the name of the defendant. But the witness, who bad tbe charge of tbe records, stated that it was frequently tbe case that pro perty was assessed to the names of persons who were not the owners thereof, aud frequently tbe name of tbe owner of some properties wus not written because not known; aud be would not undertake to say that tbe defendant did not own property In Wager street, between Fourth and Fifth.

The New York TWbwrnUhls morning; says: "It is understood that the Treasury has deter mined, and wisely, to pay the compound notes maturinpr in August, reserving the three per cent, ceitificates nntll the time when, from the sales of long bonds, custom duties, and internal taxes, the currency debt cannot bo paid as It matures. Congress, that often apologlees for non-contraction with the Secretary, is now out of the way, and the sooner the sale of long bonds and tbe purchase of 730 notes is resumed, the better it will be for th solvent portion of tbe people and for the Treasury. While Wall street is in a ferment, and call loans go begging at low rates, is tbe Secretary's op portunity to force the payment of compounds, and the funding of the debt falling due in June and July, 1869. This policy would in tensify the pressure impending when the crops are moved, but it would tie of a healthy character, fore in e, as it would, the crops to Immediate sale, instead of remaining the football of speculators, as they woukt do under an easy money market. 'Th? road to specie pavment was never more clear than at present, and nothing but culpable timidity in the Bdmlnl-tration of the finances caa pro vent a fall in gold, accompanied by a steady disappear ance of the irredeemable paper money under which the country suffers. No man ever held the Treasury Department who equals Mr. Me Culloch In his knowledge of the financial evils under which all buMncss labors, and of their remedy. It only remains to be seen whether he has the courage to use the power at his com mand." rHlLaDELrHl STOCK EXCHANGE SALES TO-DAY Beported by Hebaven fc Bra, No. 40 B.
