From the fondon Shipping Qazclle, JVov. 23.
The executlou of the Fenians took place at 8
o'clock this morning, at tbe New Bailey Prison,
Balford, In Mancbtnter. The fog had became
extremely dense, so as to muke the recognition
of Allen, Lai kin, and Gould diaicult to any but
those who were near tue ecatloid.
ir they made any attempt to address the
crowd, it was not oocrvable except by those
i lore at band.
The excitement was Intense, but no effort was
made to create a disturbance.
Cnlcralt was the executioner. StuUb, of Dud
ley, was also In readiuess to asifit If necessary.
It u mors were prevalent in the crowd that it wai
determined to shoot the executioner. Nothing
to corroborate these reports transpired.
1 he prisoners were executed simultaneously.
The scaffold was enclosed in black cloth, so as
to conceal all but the head and shoulders of the
persons standing upon the drop. Tue arrange
ments of the police were carried out admirably,
and no disturbance ot any kind whs made. The
police guarded the River Irwell. No boats were
allowed to pass along or across the river.
Bui-lnefs in the city was suspended and trafllc
at a standstill.

From the Pall Stall Gazette, Nov. Z& Evening.
When the hour fixed for the execution had
arrived, suddenly the words of military com
mund were heard, and a company ot the Seventy
Eecond Highlanders marched round the court
boose, and took up a positiou in line at the toot
of the staircase. Simultaneously small detach
ments of the same iegiment ascended to the
platform, and crouched there with their loadei
rifles slightly projecting over tho prison wall.
At almost the same moment the heads of a line
of soldiers arwse above the parapet of the tail
way viaduct.
Aline of warders wat formed in the jail court.
The sentries on duty ceased their walk; the
magistrates and reporters stood aside, and a
dead silence prevailed for a tew moments as a
signal was given from the corner of the Round
House. At three minutes past 8 o'clock the
solemn voice ot a priest repeating the Litany
of the Roman Catholic Church waa heard, and
the bead of the procession became visible
through the thick log, about thirty yards from
the foot of the staircase. Ibe Key. C. Cantwell
walVed first, by the side of Allen. The convict
'Was deadly pale; bis eyes wandered alternately
from the priext to the individuals standing
round. He walked with a tolerably steady step,
and uttered the response, "Lord, have mercy
npon us," in a arm voice.
Next to him came Larkln, in whose appear
ance confinement and anxiety of mind had
wrought a etiiking change. He walked with
difficulty, and required the suppoit of the war
dens as he mounted the staircase. He seemed to
join mechanically in the responses, and as he
approached the head ot the stairs he save one
ha?tv glance at the black beams overhead, and
teemed aDout to laint. Gould wu the last, and
he met his fate more firmly, Joining in the re
sponses with a steady voice.
About five minutes past 8 o'clock the door
leading from the Jail yaid to the scaffold was
opened, and the same instant almost every head
in the crowd was uncovered.
Allen was the first to appeal. He was deadly
pale, and closely clasped a cruciflx. Oalcratt at
once placed the white cap over his face and ad
justed the rope. Meanwhile the convict con
tinued engaged in prayer. . -
Then tallowed Gould, who walked with a Arm
step. On coming to the drop be shook hands
with Allen and kissed his right cheek. He, too,
was forthwith capped and placed in the noose.
Larkln was the last to mount the scatfotd,
which he did with firmness, and, lndeeJ, with a
smile upon his face, and, like the others, he
submitted unresistingly to the preliminaries.
They all joined loudly and earnestly in the re
sponses "Jesus, have mercy npon me; Jesus,
receive my soul." When the bolt was drawn
and the three bodies dropped, Allen was dead
in about minute; but the death of his fellow
criminals was more painful, both Larkin and
Gould appearing to struggle some little time.
All the three men showed symptoms of fear;
Gould the least.
The bodies were cat down at nine o'clock.

these were Irish. Within a circuit of twelve
miles it is estimated that there are not fewer
than thirty thousand Irish residents.
The crowd continued to augment till the even

appearance of a huge, excited throng. Mny
persons were heated with liquor, some with
passion. Irishmen, and still more Irish women,
were becoming still more conspicuous in the
swaying mass. Seditious and violent language
was heard. Threats were baudied about. Un
doubted Fenians were present, walking about,
ober, pale, and resolute-looking. Happily no
yiolence was attempted. The troops took no
their positions on the railway at tilU-past 9
The police cleared the barricaded
streets at 8 o'clock, and only those persons who
had pHB6es from the authorities were allowed to

OFFICIAL NEWS FROM TORTDLA.
The Island Not Submersed, but Many
JUtves Loit.
The following despatch from Sir A. Rumbold.
President of Tortola, received by the Secretary
for the Colonies in London, shows that that
island was not submerged, as reported by the
Havana cable, but that many lives were de
stroyed by the recent hurricane:
AOBtola, uct. 81. Mv Lord Duke: It is mv
ruoi-t painful duty to acquaint your Grace that a
terrific hurricane burst over these islauds yes
terday. The storm lasted from 11 A. M. to 3
P. M., but the greatest force was from 12 to 2.
In that brief space of time two-thirds of the
miserable tenements of the -town were blown
down; the jail is destroyed; the church, the
hospital, pier, school-house, Wesleyan chapel,
and poor-nouse. are also destroyed, and mv
own dwelling unroofed and rendered untnhabi-
taoie.

town, two at Peters Island, two at west eud,
while I hear that a quantity of people are killed
in other parts of the country, and scarcely a hut
or habitation is left standing.
All was bright and verdant, the withering
blast has passed over it, and not a trult or other
tree remains; tne works ot the lew remaining
estates are all totally destroyed.
"it is impossioie lor any pen to convey an
accurate account of the appalling misery; there
is not fifty pounds in the public chest, and the
chief tax, the house tax ot the year, is just fall-

ever any calamity appealed to public sympathy,
I am confident this will awaken it, aud I trust
your Grace will be able to point out some hope
of relief, as we cannot levy any taxes from this
impoverished community.

know how soon I may be able to do so, and I
trust from charity and other sources we may be '
able to obtain some flour and corn meal. Mean
while, starvation, or very like it, appears to be
impending, for nearly all the small store of flour

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.
Summary of tbo Official Blue Book.
The official Blue Book, containing the expose
of the a flairs of the French Empire since the
last session, was distributed November 22 to tho
members ot the Chambers. The following is a
summary of its content :
"The Government cjngratulates the country
upon the execution ot the Treaty of London
relatiuir to Luxembourg. This arrangement
paves the way ior the reconstruction of the
Kuropean balance ot power npon the only true
basis tor the maintenance of peace.
"The revolutionary party in Italy perceived
with uneasiness that the September Convention
bore fruit in the settlement of sundry questions
which improved the relations of Italy and the
Holy See, and held forth the prospect of tha
task of gradual appeasement which time alone
could tender fertile.
"So far back as January last we notified to the
Italian Government that preparations were
being made upon the Roman frontier, and at
the period when Ibe Rattazzl Ministry came
into power we redoubled our warnings. We re
ceived positive assurauces. but regret that we
did not see preventive measures adopted against
the avowed organizers of invasion. Military
measures were taken upon the irontiers, but
they were insufficient; and the Cabinet of
Florence announced that it believed the entry
of its troops into the Pontifical territory would
be necessary in order to restore order. We were
obliged to warn Italy that we fchould be in
etantlv compelled to intervene."
The Blue Book then reviews the history of
Garibaldi's eectre, and his entrance Into the
fontihcal States, and continues ill us:
"The dausers of anarchical attempts brought
about in the meantime the advent to power of
men distinguished lor patriotism aud firmness.
Thev believed it necessary to occupy 6ome
fiolnts npon tne extreme nouiuo irooucr, dui
earning the flight of Garibaldi they revoked,
with laudable spontaneity, the orders it had
tv htphlv to di&anorove.
"The Emperor's Government has suspended
the departure of a third division, and orders
have pven been issued to concentrate the expe
riiiinnarv poms noon Civlta Wccbla. As culm
has been re-established in the Papal States, we
... ohio mrirnn iinon the sneedv return home
of our troops. We have called the attention of
the powers to the situation of Italy aud the Pon
tlflcnl KatP."
The Blue Book hopes that notable changes are
nnnn tha eva r.t beina efiected in Turkey in eco
nomical and administrative order. It admits
that improvements have been carried out, and
alludes to the food effect of the concessions the
forte was advloed to make wun regara 10 iwu
mauls and ttervla. The Blue Book adds:
"Oar efforts have unfortunately not been
crowned with as complete surcem in the nego
tiations as to Crete. In accord with the Cabinets
ot Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersbure, and Florence,
we have asked that the popula.ioos should bo
coosulteo, but these suggestions have not been
received. The resistance of the Cretans con
tinuing, Ibe four courts presented a col
lect.ive note, which England did not
decline to recommend semiofficially
should be taken into consideration:
but the Sultan, subordinating the measures
advised to preliminary conditions, replied by a
distinct refusal, lu lace of this attitude nothing
remained but to release ourselves from responsi
bility, aud to resume our liberty of appreciating
the future. This was the object of the declara
tion presented by the four powers at the close
ot October. We shall, however, do nothing to
impede the efforts of Turkey, and we shall even
hope she may succeed in restoring tranquillity
to Crete by the onrse she has adopted."
The relations of France with the Unite 1
States have resumed their accustomed cordial
character.

GENERAL SICKLES' SPEECH.
TVllnw-rttl'ens: The events of the Revolutionary

statesmen whose destiny it was to establish and ad-
mlulBier. for tueeiKUi years or oar uauuimi exist

mended to the American people not by party plat
forms, not by political iuilors-uieul but by his prlu
cipies sod bis character, and bts deeds in the service
of the nation. And now, after long years of civil con
flict, we have seen mat tue events oi toe late war
not only brought forward the soldier wbo should suc
cessfully lead our soldiers to victory, but the heart
of the Dai Ion feels that In that same soldier we bave
the first citizen of the republic beat fitted to lead us
to a happy dfstlny In times of pesoe. (Applauie.)
Tneie are those who comp aln and object that beta
a silent man that tie has not announced to the coun
tr) his platform. a d that no responsible polit clans
come forward us his vouchers to the people, But the
ptople see, and feel, aud know thatGeueralGrant has
a piaitoiw good enough for them In his history and In
bis acts. (Applause.) But we are uol llt to any mere
Infer, sees as to General Grant's opinions on publio
aflalrs. Un all proper occaslous when a military olllcer
as he has beeu aud now Is, aud as an executive otlioer,
as he also Is now In part on all occasions when it
has bten proper lor him as a soldier or as a civilian,
to communicate his opiulous to bis superior otlioer, or
to the public, he has done so with all the frankness
of a soldier, with all the candor of a mn, and with
ah the wisdom ola statesman. (Applause.) Go back
with me for proof of ttls to the close of the war Im
mediately alter Lee and the Heoel army bad surren
dered to Grant's victorious banner. General Wraut
was sent by bis xcelleuoy, Ibe President, to the
Bouibern Slates upou a tour of observation. He
performed that task, and comoiunlcat d In his
report to the President a view of the situation In the
ltebel mates, and a series of susgesiions with refer
ence to the line of polloy to be pucaued towards theua,
which I sllirm al our subsequent experience has
proved to bave been wise aa I claim lliy were In
their cosier upon a statement at the outset frankly
spoken anu courageously malutaiued. (Applause.)
Hut unfortunately, gentlemen, the executive Hue of
policy that waa subsequently pursued made it Impos
sible to carry out tne wise aud statesmanlike recom
mendations of the Gceral In t hief Unhappily for
the country the Executive policy pointed Irresistibly
and luevllably to a collision wltb the rights of the
people. (Applause.) I need uot say to you or to aoy
American clt.iiM.n all have that - practical
common sense which gives them a better iusigbt
Into public sflatrs than some bf the profounder pro
fessors of Stale craft can exercise I need not say to
you that It waa utterly Impoealble to brlug to a solu
, tloii the difficult problems which this war brought
n mm us when the great deuarlmeuls of tbeGoferu-
meat executive, legislative, aud Judicial were at
war with each other, k'roin such a conflict peace to
the land was ImpoaMible, The plan of settlement that
was Initialed, known aa the President's policy, was
In. tlilato restore what remained of the Rebels
la the Heoel Mates lo power. (Applauae.) That was
justly deemed by the people wbo put dowa the Uebel
lmt criminal Waste VI the aacrUhaa of ta M,
General Grant dissented from that oollcr. (Lud

Great cheering,) A nd In this matter General Grant's
opinions are Juil as well known to any olllcer who has
served under htm, and has listened to his Instructions
and nssnaa ine opportunity oi executing hlinrurM,
as are the views ot any platform maker In the United

To proceed. Conrres. fresh from the nennla. elanted
bv ibe free, unrestrained ballots of tne loval ntM
claimed to bave, as tbey rightly bad by the !onstlia-
lon or our miner, tne risnt to presenile tne term
on which the Rebel mates which had renounced
ih.lr allegiance, should be again recognised In their
seats Id the Senate and House, and the termi on
which they should he permltfd to participate
In the affaire of the Republic. Oongrets, I
ny, after mature deliberation, embodies their lodg
ment In what Is known as the Constitutional
Amendment, originally lntrodnced by Senator
Howard.
That proposition or peace and amity and settlement
was tendered lo tho Houih by the vote of two-thirds
ot the Representatives of ibe people. It was rail 11 d
oy inree-iuuri lis ot the loyal mates wiat put down ine
Rbelllon. It waa rejected by the Houtb, and tbey
rue it now and rt tient it. But so It was: It w re
jected. It w a denounced by the Kxectitlve and his
uaoinei: nnt it wai saateineu, recommended, and In
dorsed by Grant. (L,i ud cheering.) Rut 1 say to you
here to-nltfht words ba ed npon many opportunities
for observation at tbe Houtb that if the Executive
had aided by his Influence and sustained by bis power
that proposition of peace and amity the stiiement
thus made by Congress we would bave had peace
and tranquillity at the present time. (Cheers.)
It was not la the ower of the Kxecutive lo defeat
the Constitutional amendment la Oongrees or In tbe
loyal Hates: but It did prove to be In his power to
firevent a single Rebel Htate from accepting It, But
t was perfectly well known lo all In Washington.
and to all who bad tbe opportunity at any time to
snow uenerai urani's sentiments wnea that amend
ment waa pending, not only that be earnestly and
frankly advised the Southern Hiates to accept It, but
inat ail tne weigntor nis inuuence was earnestly and
repeatedly exercised with the Kxectitlve to Induce
blm to forbear bis fatal opposition to that measure of
peace. (Applause.)
Rut. to conclude. a commending Ml do General
Grant to your couddence and affection, I do so not
because he Isatr; merln oolitic: not that he is a
craven who would conceal hit opinions; not that be
is a man who would nut on the gown or numlllty and
solicit your sweet voices no, like another Corlolauus
lie wonia ssr:
"Better to die, better to serve -Than
crsve tbe hire I do deserve. .
Rather tnan fool it so,
Let tbe high office and tne bonor go
To one who would do thus."
No. hfl Is commended lo vou. btcsuse. of all mn
living, be Is the truest embodiment of the great
loyal millions who nut down the Rebellion because
they loved the Union, and who desire peace dot
because they pray for its perpetuity. General

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Offics of the Kvenino Teloeaph,
Thursday, Dec 6, lt)7.
The tone adopted in Congress since the com
mencement of its cession has been calculated to
i eassure the doubting in regard to the Inviola
bility or the national oeot, ana ns naa a per
ceptible eflect in the discussion of the proba
bilities of repudiation, either in tact or name.
Tbe feeling is so strong and decided against
any attempt at such a step, that those who
thought they could earn popularity by favoring
it have learea to give expression to tnoir views.
If Congress really wants to benellt the nation, let
it drop reconstruction ana lmpeaenment, ana
get to work at the finances. There are great
questions to be settled, questions which require
not mere momentary attention, but elaborate
discussion and duep study. Debates on them
cannot lail to do good, while tho buncombe
f-peecbes on politics are but a waste of time, and
tend to dltgust the people. It is essential that
daring tbe present session the future policy of
tne finances be cieanvaennea ana aereoa npon.
better debate It now than wben the ses.il on
lengthens out, and tho hot days of August are

ourselves in the midbt of a great political con
test, which will monopolize all our energies aud

SECOND EDITION
FROM WASHINGTON TO-DAY.
The Impeachment Debate Important
Financial Measures Feeling of
the House and Senate on
Contraction, Etc.
SPECIAL DHSrATCHKH TO THE EVENING TKLEOBAPH.
Washinqton, Dec. 6.
Tbe AnU.Coatractlos.lsU.
The House Finance Committee, it Is expected,
will report a bill to prevent the oont ractlon of
four millions monthly now going on, as a
majority are believed to be favorable to this
proposition, aDd such a bill, it is thought, may
pass tbe House, as the opponents of contraction
are believed to be in a majority; but there is no
probability of its passing the Senate.
Bona tor FcssendcD, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, is a strong supporter ot
Secretary McCulloch's views on this subject,
and tbe influence of the Committee will there
fore be against any change, and their action
will govern the Senate. '
Trie Impeacbment Debate.
Ihe discussion in the House npon Impeach-
mcnt will be reached to-day. The Interest In
this matter Is increasing, and great disappoint"
ment was felt yesterday by the large audience
In the House on account of its not coming up.
The impcachers are becoming more confident,
and openly declare that it the subject is fully
discussed, it will draw the line distinctly be
tween tbe two great parties, and the Republi
cans will be compelled to vote for it as a party
measure. ..
The Republican opponents of impeachment
will now make use of every parliamentary
strategy to limit debate and lay tbe whole sub.
ject on the table, but the impeach iog side folly
understand this, and are determined to coun
teract It and prolong debate, which they think
will embitter the two great parties and result in
tbe adoption of the articles of impeachment.
The bombastic tone of the President's Message
has also apparently strengthened the Impeach
ing party, but it is extremely doubtful whether
impeachment will pass the House.
The Democrats seem to be as anxious to hare
the question debated as tho extreme radicals
are, as many of the former have prepared long
speeches ior buncombe, which they want an
opportunity to deliver.
