Isabella's Arenm nt Work Th Old Wave Traders Ala Conaplrlna;. Although in confronting the rebellion tho Spaniards In Cuba appear to bave an unbroken front and a true nnlty of purpose, yet it ib well known that thev arc greatly divided in princi ples, and that there is constant danger of tho separate faction breaking into open war. Rodas, the present Governor, probably is a fair repre sentative of that moderate liberalism which Ser rano is endeavoring to transfuse Into tho mind of the Spanish nation. It tho rebellion were at an end, Rodas would be willing to grant reforms iu the administration of affairs. But, in addi tion to the trouble which tho insurgents give him. ho is confronted with threo augry and darkly conspiring parties. The threo parties wh hleh aro thus warring upon each other aro tho Republicans, the isabelinos, ami lliooiu uiira variibi iaciioa. The Republicans want to establish a republic in Spain, with Cuba a one of the Fedoral Stutos. These approach nearest in sentiment to the in surgents. Tho Ysabcllnos, ou the other hand, are a retrogrado faction, who want to see Isa bella restored if possible, or, if not, at toast tho glvlngof the crown to her only boy, Don Alfonso, L'rincu of Asiurius. They m e for Church and Statr, with all their restrictions upon the rights of the people. But there Is j et a deeper deep. The Carlists thiuk that all the arrangements of modern social lito are a mistake and a scandal. They would turn back tho hands of tho clock of civilization, und resuscitate the middle agC3. With the Carlisls of Cuba are associated all those rich old families who made their fortune out of tho blood and tears of slaves, and whose most cherished tradition is that the slave trade was a divine institution. These, Joined with the Casino Kepanol, the most powerful of the clubs, have lately issued an absolutist manifesto which has struck dismay into tho hearts of ex-Governor de la Vega, the Ysabelinos, and the Republicans together. Vega was Governor of Havana during the reign of Isabella, and since then has been living in Spain. lie is an ardent partisan of tho ex-ljuecn, and seems to have come over here from Europe with some purposes of political propogandlsm. About a week ago he was in the city of New York, and when asked by some friends bis object in crossing the Atlantic, he said that he was go ing to Havana "for his health." Of course this was a pretext too transparent to delude any body, and Vega's designs excited a great deal of curiosity. In tho Spanish circles where he had intimate friends be did not hesitate to declare his ardent wishes for the restoration of Isa bella. It need hardly be said that ho found few Spaniards here who concurred lu his views, for, almost to a man, they arc in favor of the present administration in Spain. The Spaniards of New York, in fact, are sin cere liberals in politics; hating all those abso lutist notions which have worked bo injuriously in their country, and determined to stand by the revolution which has freed Spain from servitude to a base and miserable dynasty. They sec that Serrano's government bus to encounter many difficulties, while It has saved Spain thus far from bloodshed and nnureby. Jew are tho fcpaniards In New York city who would like to see Spain brought again under the disgraceful rule of Isabella. They favor a liberal govern ment a government of law, of order, and of freedom. Vega's mission to Havana doubtless alms at detiching some of the old slavcholding and slave-dealing families from their absurd and Im possible ultra schemes, and bringing them to what, iu his eyes, is the more feasible scheme of a restoration of the ex-Queen He wants to get them to join hini iu a conspiracy for bringing back tho aute-rcvolutlouury state, of affairs. The slave-trading aristocracy are enormously wealthy; they have a followljg composed of tho most ultra and stupidly superstitious of tho Spaniards; and, as is usual in such cases, a num ber of tools comprising the lowest of the popu lace and the ' most ignoraut among the volun teers. And tho worst of it is the Spaniards have so long been governed fcy others that they hardly understand what self-will or a fixed opinion means, and will therefore follow their leaders blindly in any direction whatever. It is Bald that Vega has brought over an im mense sum of money from Paris, where Isabella is now residing. This will be of immense ser vice to him in tho conspiracy he is now organiz ing. All the class of tools above mentioned have itching palms, and will clutch at any of thi bribes he may place within their reach. FITZ JOHN PORTER. General McClcllan'a Attempt to nave bla Hen tence Revoked A Canal lo Kevtew. The Washington correspondent of the Cincin nati Commercial, Don Piatt, writes: The motive for the unexpected visit of General McClcllaR to this city, the other day, has come to the surface. An effort is being made to get the President to revoke the sentence, and set aside the finding of the Court called to try that gentleman, whose devotion to his General ex ceeded his loyalty to his Government. It was not that be loved the Union less, but McClellan more. The pressure in his behalf is so great that General Sherman has recommended to the President that the disabilities inflicted be re moved, and the President has the subject under advisement, with what prospect of a decision one may gather after considering the pressure that comes from West Point, and comparing it with the hope of a renominatlonjto the Presidency. I am rather of the opinion that the sentence and finding will be set aside. The President has such a contempt for politicians, aud General Sherman such a scorn of the people, that I be lieve West Point will triumph, and General Por ter be saved tho further ignominy that attends his present situation. I Lave always thought that we struck at small game when we put ou trial the creature Instead of the master. Perhaps the master was too shrewd and cautious to commit the overt act necessary to a fluding by a court-martial. But there was one thing certain, the spirit existed at headquarters that inspired the overt treason. I happened to be cognizant of some of this. Dur ing Pope's campaign, when his little army stood between Lee and the capital, holding the Con federates at bay uutll McClellan could come up with bis forces from the James, I made an attempt to join my General. I proceeded to Alexandria, intending to take the cars to Ma nassas Junction, aud thence on horseback to our command. 1 found the town full of rumors, to the effect that the enemy was at the Junc tion in force. I could not believe this, and succeeded in so convincing General Slough of IU absurdity that be made up a train and sent us ont. We came to grief not only in fludlug the re port true, but in a collision between our train and one fleeing .from the Confederate wrath in Its rear. Defeated in this direction, I then sought General MeClellan's headquarters, near Alexandria, to learn, If possible, the meaning of the trouble. I found my old friend, Colonel Key, who welcomed me to the little camp. I wns introduced to other ofilccrs of the staff, but could get no reliable information. I did, how, ever, bear enough to satisfy me that the officers there assembled had very little Interest in the straggle then going on, as they laughed at the earnest demands sent by telegraph to General McClellan from the War Department to hurry on his troops to the relief of General Pope. Nor could I discover from thorn the road I must take to get to the front. I did not see General McClellan. I asked Colonel Key to get an opinion from him, and, after an hour's delay, I learned irom uoionei K.ey tnat it was tne opinion t headquarters that I had only to remain where I was. and my command, or at least all that xniht be left of it, ould toon join me. Does General McClellan knov that so gnwe a disaster bos occurred!'" 1 akcd. "He knows only that John Pope is in com mand, and that means the same thing.'' These men thought all thit General Prter acted, and be but carried into tho field tho spirit that animated his commander. Ho, tho subordi nate, was taken, tried, and condemned. He had an Impartial court and a fair trial, and now to set tbe sentence aside on the ground solely of personal fooling, would be au outrage that even our good-natured people, so prone to forget, will at once resent. Since the close of the war, and since wo bave received information from tho other side, it is evidcut that had General Pope received active aud hearty co-operation from MeClellan's forces, the war would have ended on the Held where we experienced our first great defeat. General Leo, like a dignified donkey as bo is, bad divided his army, putting one half under JackBon between Pope and McClellan, where it was as far beyond support as Grant was at Shlloh. I hod a long and interesting talk with General Longstrect on this subject last winter, and if that gentleman can bo called to the stand, the finding of Ytr. John Porter's court will bo doubly confirmed in the minds of tho people. THE DA1UEX SHIP CANAL. What President Jnnree Thinks of the Project. p A significant incident lu connection with tho project for the construction of a ship canal across tho Isthmus of Darien occurred nt the banquet which accompanied or followed tho grand ball given at the Tcatro Nacional, in the city of Mexico, in honor of tho Hon. William 11. Seward, by the Mexican Government, just pre vious to tho departure of our cx-Premier from that capital: Senor Valasqucz, of Monterey, the President of Congress for that month, had made a mo.-t enthusiastic speech in honor of Mr. Seward, and in response the latter called his attention to two facts in the history of Europe and America within the last ten years, viz.: that tho Em peror of France had a well-marked and dis tinctive foreign policy, and a domestic policy, both of which were Imperial and European. Tbe first showed itself in the form of an inter vention in the affairs of America, and an attempt to establish as a preliminary an empire in Mexico; and tho second in the furtherance ef the project for tbe completion of tho Sue. Canal tb tough the Egyptian peninsula which separates the Mediterranean from tho Red Sea. On tho other hand, the United States have a policy in regard to Mexico, and a foreign policy as distinctly marked, and altogether American, which shows itself in maintaining the independence of the sister Republic and tne construction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, which separates the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Mr. Seward said tho Colombian Congress hesitates aDd stumbles. Secure for us, Mr. Prosldent, a resolution of the Congress of Mexico, recom mending the Colombian Congress to lutify tho treaty lor the construction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, which has already been negotiated between the two Governments, and I am sure that the Congress of Colombia could not resist the friendly appeal. Senor Velasquez replied that he could not an swer for the Mexican Congress as a body. It must speak for itself, In its free and sovereign capacity, but ho would cheerfully pledge his own personal support of such a measure. President Juarez, then arose, and in a brief speech set forth the merits of the project, pronouncing it the great work of republican America and of modern civilization. For his own part he would give the project all tho support und assistance in his power, and ho trusted that Mr. Seward, as well as himself, might live to see the noble work accomplished. Thereupon all the guests at the table, a large number of whom were members of tho Mexican Congress, stood J .1 - . . . . l , l -. . v .i . ; ' . . up UUU I11UUD UIU uu nuLwau CUU1UBIOSUC VICUH for the Darien Ship Canal. VICTORY. Ext'ltlnK Hcenea In the Ohio House of Kepre- aentntlvca on Tnklng the Vote on the Fifteenth Amendment. The Columbus Journal, January 21, says: After some two hours' filibustering by tho De mocrats, the House finally came to a vote on the fifteenth amendment last night at 850 o'clock. 1 bcre had been no recess lor supper. -Members were excited, and the hall, floor, and galleries were crowded with excited people. These went beyond tuo preserineu limits, una crowded in upon the members in their scuts. In the gallery were many colored people ivho had watched the manoeuvring and listened to the discussions, personalities, and retorts incident to the discus sion, with the most intense interest. Every effort was inado by the Domocrats to delay the final vote. Motions not to call the name of Blakeslee were again declared out of order by the Speaker, who, cool in the midst of the excitement, kept tho unruly members faeo to face with the question. Motions to appeal from the decision of the Chair were not enter tained, and while members were on their feet gesticulating and shouting, tbe Speaker brought quiet by announcing that the final vote would be taken. Tbe Democrats leading the list voted loudly aud fiercely "No," while the Republicans in the vanguard shouted out proudly "Aye." There was a little ripple of applause us IIlll, of Hamilton, voted a strong "Aye," and applause at other points. The vote, 57 yeas aud 55 nays, was annouueed by the Speaker, who declared" "Tho resolution, having a constitutional majority, is adopted." Cheers, loud and hearty, and every manner of applauding sound, burst from tho spectators, members, and reporters, and the House pre sented a scene of wildest excitement. A counter current of hisses ond groans met this, and in creased the confusion. The Speaker's deter mined calls for order quieted the shouts and cheers, while the opposing element of hisses continued in spite of the call, like steam issuing angrily from boilers about to burst. Hutnuu nature couldn't stand this, and another roll of cheers thundered out. The fierce raps at the desk brought quiet again, the friends of the amendment rushing outside the hall to continue their applauding efforts there until a rattling line extended into the street, and the people therein caught up the story. ENGLISH JOURNALISM. Mrs. fftowe's Vindication and the Pall Alall Uuzelie. London, Jan. 0. We are indebted to this morning's Fall Mall Gazette for a fresh sensa tionif I may uso so objectionable a word. It prints a summary, a column long, of Mrs. Stowe's "Lady Byron Vindicated," received by cable from New York. With tho exception of the abstract of the President's but message pub lished in The Timet, this is the longest despatch received from America by any English journal, or by all of them together, since there has been an Atlantic cable. The enterprising New York agent of Mr. K outer suit halt a dozen lines the day before, giving not "an account of Mrs. Stowe's book, but of what two or three New York papers said about it; thinking wo might like to know that, in tbe opinion of one Journal, "her motives are to make money cr to gain no toriety by paudcriug to depraved tastes." The coarseness of such an attack as that produoes, so fur as it has any effect ut all, a reaction lu Mrs. Stowe's favor; which may, for aught I know, bave been the object of telegraphing it. The telegraph is used by the American press so much more freely than by the European that you will scarcely consider this single despatch to The rail Mall Gatette as an evldonce of ex tract dlnary enterprise. Yet it is, and it deserves to Le noted. It it is not followed up, it will have little or no Influence on London journalism, but if It is the first signal of a new effort It may have very Important results. It looks very much like a challenge to its contemporaries, and if it be that Tfw J'all Mall Gau'tte has a minion, and a career before it. I have said fceral times that there was room in London for a new paper of any politics and at any price, lhat would print the news in other words, that should once more put in motion the energy, Intelligence, and the liberality in sponding money which The Timet formerly showed, but of which there aro at this day few traces in that or any other London paper. It may bo said 1 1 excuse for their sluggishness that they (five all the news tbe public wants. What a paper has to do is to create the appetite as well as satisfy it. That could not bo a very difficult task. At any rato it could not bo difficult to teach the London public to prefer full and accurate intel ligence of matters thev do care about to the meagre aud bungling despatches they now put up with from Mr. Reuter's agency. The experi ment is worth trying, and The. Vail Mall Gazette has a good chance to try it. Its conductors have ability and some experience, though their even ing journal was not as strong in its views as in other departments. Its publisher, I am told, bos long had an ambition to found a great morn ing journal, and what he has thus far done has been maluly experimental. THE HOME OF THE BABIES. Ncrnre nt the Fonndllnic Anvlnin A Tlenu Kul Pair or Twins lft In the Banket The Work ol Frnicmrntnry Charity. Yesterday, in spite of the Inclemency of the weather, a lururc number of ladies were in atten dance ut tho Foundling Asylum on Twelfth street. The occasion was tho weekly meeting held by tne Ladles' FoumHing Aid Society. This society was organi.cd some time last No vember for the purpose of nlding tho noble efforts of the Sisters of Charity in establishing the much needed Foundling Asylum of New York. Once a week the association meets in the reception rooms of the Asvlum, on Twelfth street, for the purposo of distributing work for tho house and devising ways and means of rais ing funds for the prosecution of tho good cause. By 11 o'clock yesterday morning the parlors on the first floor of the bouse presented a most cheering and animated appearance. Elo emit forms and toilettes flitted here nnd there. White, Jewelled hands hovered caressingly over huge baskets of baby linen and mysterious packages of various sizes and wrappings. The occasional chink of pennies into the Foundling Asylum Bauk gave evidence that some desired to luy up "interest payable in heaven." But the soft crush and flutter Immediately subsided upon the tinkle of sister Irene's silver bell. Tbe high-bred circle of queenly dames settled Into their seats, the beautiful Airs. Paul The baud taking her place ns President at tho round (able in the back parlor. Tho proceedings were in striking contrast to those nt tho meetings of tbe suffragists, lady parliamentarians, or Sorosians. No speeches were made, but Sister Irene's sweet, tremulous voice announced that, though she gratefully acknowledged the great aid she had received from the ladies, she must appeal for further assistance. Generous as the dona tions were, they were but a fragment of what was needed. Though 307 children had already been left in the basket at the door, tho average number dully deposited was on the increase. That the supplies of clothing and necessaries had been almost miraculous, but the demand was ever increasing. She then enumerated the articles that would be acceptable ns donatious, as, for instance, remnants of flannel, lluen, mus lin, calico, merino, or delaine; blankets and old hedclothing, comforters and quilts. She men tioned these last articles so that housekeepers could find a place of deposit for their old linen, where it could be usefully applied. She mentioned that seven children had been left during the previous night, and requested all fresent to assist her in securing a suitable- build ng in the suburbs of the city, by which tho bouse iu Twelfth street would be relieved, in stead of sending the babies out to nurse, as they are now forced to do. The work was then distributed among the ladies present, and the meeting adjourned in formally. Tho usual visit to the nurscrios fol lowed. These were found in tho exquisite order and spotless neatness that have been remarked by all who visit the house. TWO LITTLE COLORED BABIES. The babies were found reposing in their cribs, or taking sweet natural nourishment from the maternal bosoms of their foster-mothers, whoso smiling, rosy faces beamed down upon the little adopted oucs with genuino tenderness. Two little colored babies, and one little Israelite, with undoubted marks of their parentage im pressed upon their tiny, wee faces, share equally the attention and care given the young Ameri cans, Anglo-Saxons, Celts, and Germans. The establishment is evidently as democratic and cosmopolitan as our metropolitan popu lation could desire. All the babies aro put on a level. Among the arrivals of tho night before was a pair of twins; fine, chubby little fellows only a day old. In another crib was a beautiful baby, a little girl, who arrived soon after the twins. She came in a carriage, was beautifully dressed, and bore the name of "Grace." She slept sweetly and peacef'tlly, perhaps more so than if she hod reposed on her graceless mother's bosom, and under her sensual father's eyo. iV. 1'. JSun this morning. THE IMPERIAL HOMICIDE. The Article which Led to the Aaaaaslnatlon. The following is the article published in tho MarteillaUe which led to tho assassination of M. Victor Noir: There are singular people In the Bonaparte family whose ambition cannot be satisfied, aud who, seeing themselves positively thrown into tbe shade, grow spiteful at never attaining power. They resemble those old maids who bave never found a husband, and who bewail the lovers they never had. Let us place in this category of unfortunates Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, who permits himself to write news paper articles in bis leisure hours. He inhabits Corsica, where he wages war against the radical democracy; but he meets with more Waterloos than Austcrlitz ! The Iievancte, a democratic journal of Corsica, Initiated us into his defeats, and gave us a specimen of the articles of the so called Prince. Irritated to see republican ideas invade tho native soil of his family, the Prince published a long letter in a paper, threatening to rip up his adversaries. Here Is a specimen of the Prince's proso: "Whom tho bravo soldiers, skilful sportsmen, hardy sailors, and Industrious farmers of Corsica would have pnt to rot in the fluids if tbey had not bocn withheld." A b may bo seen, the Prince does not write with a light hand. Scratch a Bonaparte aud you see a wild beast appear. Tho nation is the judge of such conduct. What will it think when it learus that this Prince Pierre Bonaparte is tho same who, in 1848, addressed a Republican E reclamation to the Corsicuns, in which are to e found protestations, offers, and oaths, only to be equalled by those found in the proclama tions of blm who is called Napoleon III, by the frace of violated oath and tho coup d' etatf lowever used one may be to fluctuations, one may still Und It strange that a man should have said twenty years ago, "My father was a Repub lican, therefore I am one by conviction, by ln rtlnct, by tradition;" and that this sume man should to-day treat as traitors, whom "their parents would bave flung into the sea In a sack," citizens who have remained faithful to their con victions, their instincts, their tradltons. Fortunately, the cruel experience of the past gives us, for the future, some rules by which to shape our conduct. Let tho future republic be ware of all who bear the name of Bonaparte, or anything that borders on princes, kings, or emperors ! And let Corsica continue her valiant republican propaganda. France, her adoptive mother, pardons her for producing the Napoleons. SECOND EDITION I, ATE ST TJ7 T23LTJCIRAFIX.

Devinney seized him by the neck and called upon Fire Marshal Blackburn, who happened to be passing up Sixth street, aud who came to his assistance. Dr. Blackburn said the prisoner protested his innocence, Baying that he was an innocent mau, bad gone to the bunk upon legitimate business, and Air. Devinney had made a great mistake. Mr. Blackburn said if this were the caso it could be readily shown on investigation by the magis trate, and bis release would be speedily effected. After walking a short distance further, he asked Mr. Devinney how much he had lost ? and was told about three hundred dollars; and then ho offered to pay him that sum if ho would let him go. But Mr. Blackburn refused to allow a com promise in the street, and bo took him to tbe Central Station. There he was searched and $380 In money, a gold watch, and a letter from Toronto, Canada, were found upon him. Mr. Blackburn suc ceeded in reading about two-thirds of this letter when the prisoner snatched it from him, and, notwithstanding the efforts inado to recover it, he managed to throw it into a stove, when it was burned. However, the contents were a complaint concerning the action of ono "Jake" in disposing of certain goods. This satisfied Mr. Blackburn of the fellow's character, and ho accordingly put him into the lock-np. On trial. Office or ths Kvfmino TEunBAra,) Wednesday, Jan. ild, 1S70.

Hold, 12t .12l:u. At the sale of one mil lion at noon the bids aggreirated over fi,600,000 at from 121-2S to 12173. Government bonds are strong at a Blight advance. Stocks are (rnnerally stronger, excepting FaclQO Mail, which has fallen t 88V Rock Island is active at tosl.Trfl08,i'. There are niBiiv rumors relative to Pacific Mall, but probably the cause of Its decline is t'io failure of the subskly scheme. From the X. Y. Herald. "The money market was abundantly supplied at Dve per cent, as the prevailing rate on call loans with pledge of prime collaterals. Exceptions oc curred at four per cent, and some of the leading dealers on Monday were accommodated as low as three per cent In the earlier hours ef business yes. tcrday the majority of loons on stocks were at six percent, with exceptions at seven, but arter half past $ o'clock money was oirered very freely at five per cent, to stock houses. Commercial paper was duller yesterday, with rates ranging from seven to , ten per cent, for the various grades of long and short prime double name acceptances. "Despite the departure of the steamer there was an active market in sterling, and the prime bankers advanced their rates a quarter per cent, although few, if any, transactions occurred at more than art eighth advance upon yesterday's prices. The recent low range of gold has presented tlio usual supply of commercial bills.and hence the gold speculators have had a sensitive market to work npon when tbey manipulated exchange si subsidiary to their main error t "The speculative movement In the Gold Room seems to be in favor of a higher premium. The clearances to-day, amounting to ovei forty milliens, reveal heavy purchases on the part of the newly formed clique, it seems to le a portion of the pro gramme to work the foreign exchange market, where even a slight advance is highly favorable to au upward turn in gold. The clique seem to have bought a few thousand pounds of sterling with this view, which induced the bankers to put op their rates, to the great delight of the gold 'bulls.' Tbe price of gold to-day ranged from 121 to 121 i, npon touching which latter llgure the market became dull and Inclined to heaviness. As it was the eve of lie Government gold sule, and as the balance of cur rency in the Treasury, which Is reduced to five mil lions, may tempt Mr. Itoutwell to accept all the bids for gold to-morrow, tho speculative feeliug was less enthusiastic towards the close, and the market lost i' s buoyancy. "Holders of gold paid from Ave to seven per cent, to have their balances carried. In one lusunoe the borrower received no Interest on the current col lateral the first transaction at 'flat' recorded for agocdwblle. The ilolsatla took out 11,240,000 in specie. "The Government market was active, but without much change in prices, the difference being, how ever, lu favor of the bullish Bide of transactions. The ease in money and the steadiness and strength of gold tend to stimulate speculative purchases. " Philadelphia Trade Iteport.
