Intense excitement pre vails in Government circle bere relative to the threatened complication! growing out of Rus sia's attempt to secure tbe revision of the Paris treaty. The general conviction Is that English statesmanship is jU fault. The country ia wholly BDprepared for war, and all its traditional aims are imperilled. The Crisis null the ftlnrhet. The Right Hon. Mr. Cardwell, Secretary of Plate for War, is hastening the armament of the xatioo. There is much excitement at the Stock Ex change, and securities of all kind are declin ing. Breadetnfls are advancing correspondingly. Insolence of the Russian Demand. The crisis forms the theme of newspaper com ment, and there teems to be but one opinion of Russia's demand, that it is insolent in the last degree . The jonrualj on the Continent take no pains to disguise their satisfaction that 4 .(irrnt Brl'aln and Her Colonies would suffer more severely in case of war against Russia than France has suffered in hr contest with Prussia. All the great powers of Europe are ready to reconsider the Paris treaty of 1850. Karl (irnnvllle's Reply to Prince Gortechakoff's circular denounces the right of Russia to recognize the European situa tion as releasing her from the obligations of a solemn treaty. It also denies that, assuming as true that one of the contracting powers consi ders itself released . from a treaty, the others are at liberty to disregard it. It further says, instead of any such announcement, Russia Should Have Invited the powers to consider the subject.- The Times has a strong article this morning on the grave situation of affairs. It says if the Russians put a fleet in the Black Sea Turkey will be able to sweep it ott, and it she is not, England and other powers are bound to do so. J?Ba!iiDd will Mtand Firm. London, Nov. 17.

Prince nertschakafl's Note-A flNtorv of the Treaty of Paris Way U feuould lie Abro atrd. London, Wednesday, Nov. The following ia the lull text of Uortschakoff's circular: OvfUehakof to tar on Iirumuiw, communicuUd to Granville by Uruntww, A'uv. 9. "Tz arkkok Selo, Oct. 19. Baron: The successive alterations which the compromises considered to be the foundation of tbe equilibrium of Europe have In tliese last days undergone, bave obliged tbe Impe rial ( abinet to examine the lniluence upon the poli tical position of Russia resulting therefrom. Among these compromises that which interests ns most directly Is tne treaty "of tbe isth-SOtb March, la.'xi. Tbe special contention between the two Towers border tun on tbe Black be a annexed to this treat?, eoa lan.s an engagement on the part of Kussla to limit tier naval forces to lncousideruble dimecslous. la return, this treaty offered ter tbe principle of the neutralization of that sea. 'Ju the view of the signatory powers, this princi ple was to remove ail possibility of conflict, whettur let ween the powers bordering su ihe Black Saa or between them and the maritime powers. It was to Increase tbe number of territories called by tbe unanimous agreement of Europe to enjoy tbe bene fits of neutrality, and so to protect Russia herself from all danger of aggressions. "Tbe experience of fifteen years has proved that this principle, upon which depends tbe security of the wbole extent of the frontiers of the Russian Em pire In this direction, rents only on a theory. Ia fo-t, w bile Russia, olstrmea la the Jjjack sea, has even by a declaration recorded In Ihe protocols of th conference legally denied hers -If me Doml'dUty of taking efficient meaanrca f mariil ne efina- In the edjacant seas and ports, Turkey pirserved tbe right of keeping np unlimited naval forces In the Archi pelago and the Strolls, Francs and England pre served ths power of concentrating tlielr squadrons In the Mediterranean. "Moreover, by the terms cf the treaty, the en trance to tbe Riack Sea Is formally and forever pro hibiteto tbe flag of war, whether of the Hljmrlno powers or any other power. Hut by virtns of the convention called the Straits convention, the pas sage throngh tbsse Mi alts Is closed to flags of war, only In time of peace. It results from tls contra diction that the coasts of the Kasaian Empire re main exposed to all aggressions, even on the part of less powerful StAtes, as soon as they possess naval forces, to which Kuan, a would be able te opposjonly a few vessels of small dimensions. "'I he treaty of I8th-3nth March, lftr8, moreover, has not escaped the Infractions to which most of the Kuropean compromises have been subject, and in presence of which H would le dliricuH to aTirm that written law, founded upon respect for treaties as a base of public law and rule for the relations be tween States, has preserved tbe same moral sanc tion which It may nave had In other times. "We have seen the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachla, the late of which had been fixed by the treaty of peace and by the subsequent protocols under the guarantee of the great powers, effect a series of revolutions as contrary to the spirit as to the letter of these compromises, and which led ttietn first to nnlon, then to the summoning of a foreign prince. These events occurred with the consent of the Porte and the acquiescence of the great p )ve.rs, or at least without the latter having thought it ne cessary to make their decrees respected. "'I he representative of Ituasla was the only on t.o raise his voice to point out to the Cabinet that by this toleration thsv would put themselves In contra diction to the explicit stipulations of the treaty. Beyond doubt, if these concessions, granted to one of ihe Chrlatlan nationalities of the Fast, had re sulted from a genial understanding between the Cabinets and the Porte, by virtue of a principle ap plicable to the whole of the Christian populations of Tnrkey, the Imperial Cabinet would have had nothing to do hut applaud. Hut they were exclusive. "The" Imperial Cabinet than could not but be struck with the fact that it had been possible to In fringe with Impunity the treaty of l-we, bat a few years after Its conclusion, in one of its essential clauses, m the face of the Great Powers assembled in conference at Paris, and repre senting as a whole tbe high collective au thority upon which rested the peace of the Bast. This Infraction was not the only one. At several Intervals, aad usder various pretexts, the entrance to the Straits has been opened to foreieu ships of war, aid that of the Black Se to whole squadrons, the presence of which was a violation of the character of absolute neutrality ascribed to these waters."

At noon to-dav the Coroner continued the Inquest in the case of John P, Siavln, w no iiieu irom injuries received in a nremen's riot at Twenty-ursf. and South streets. Policeman l)o- lsnd was coded, and testified that he did not ses a blow struck, aor did not kuov that SUvlu was In jured until he was told so by a Mr. McDennott; he heard a cry of fight, and ran between tbe two car riages the Reliance and the Hope when a fireman, attempted to strike him; at that tbue there were several persons lit a stooping position, but he did not KeeniHviii on ine ground The jury retired and renoered the following ver dict: V e find that the deceased, John P.

John street below Callowlilli. for whose burial a certificate bad been issued by Dr. Tiedcman, giving the caue ol his death as opopiexy, when the facts are that he died from a fracture of the skull received in a fall. Dr. jshaplelgh testified that he made a post-mortem examination of the body of fe deceased ; there were no external marks ef violence; upon dissec tion he feund quite an extensive, bruise on the back part of the head ; there was a fracture five inches long rantiing across the occipital bone through the orbital plate of the temple; this fracture communi cated with tbe foramtn mauiunn; upon the other Bide ef this opening thers whs another fracture, less extrusive; the deceased came to his death from compression of the brain, caused by a f acture of the skull, received hy either a blow or a fall; the symp toms of apoplexy are similar to those from compres sion ; tbe bleeding from the nose and ears as la this csfc was enough to satisfy any physlciau that death was the result of violence of some kind. Dr. shap leiph thought it was nothing mere thau csrelessness fin the part or the doctor la giving a certificate of death from apoplexy. Kd ward O. Allen aud John C.

The jury rendered a verdict of death from a fall. Illnefs of State Senator Watt. A rumor pre vailed on the sheets about roon to-day that lion. William W. Watt, State Senator from the Klrst distri.-.t, comprising the southwestern wards of this city, was dead. On repairing to his rest lence, No. 1915 Iximburd street, we found that the rumor was premature. Tbe Senator was lying iu as extremely critical condition, and all hopes of his ultimate re covery hud been given no by the attending physician. He has been sick since Friday last, and has gradually sank under a com plication of diseases until now, when he may expire at any moment. He has been unconscious for some darn, failing to recognise Ins dearest and most intimate friends. Mr. Watt was about Mi years of age, and has lung buen prominent In our local and State politics. Some vears ago he was a member of the Assembly, and In ls was the Republican candidate for Senator in the First dis trict, and after a long contest which had been Insti tuted by his opponent, Mr. A. J. Diamond, the seat was awarded to bim. A Chahtabi.e Okqamzation.

Verdict of the Jury. in the First Scene in Court of Oyer and Terminer Judge Ludlow and feiree. Murder will oat, retribution will overtake the criminal, and tbe way of tbe transgressor shall be hard. Never were old Baj lugs more tW cugbly vindicated than in the result of the trial cf John llanlou for the fiendish fiurder ot the innocent little girl Mary Mohruua. For a whole year this large community tbrobbed with futile indignation at the perpetration of so horrible a deed, aud angry despair seemed to settle over it when mouth followed tnontb and no clue to tbe murderer was riMultiuH' and lint fur bid nwn it. ..ti.,n. tbe bent of bis brutal poKbious; ha lniirht hve , i , j i . . . , . . . uvea on auu oicu a umumi oeaiu, sua aa out raged law would never have been revenged. But Provideuce made bim the iuolrument of his own detection and destruction, and, after serv ing one year's imprisonment for a kindred crime, lie was brouubt to the bar of justice to answer for the death of this child. He procured the services of two learned gentlemen, brilliant lights of our talented bar, aud his trial was connected with wonderful skill. Every privi lege, every presumption was given hlin, every doubt was resolved in his favor by a merciful Court; the representatives ot the Commonwealth. 1 rorecnted him with firmness and vigor, but i made tio attempt to encroach npon any right accorded bim by tbe law, and if any such at tempt bad been mads, it would hava met with a Arm reslstanea from bis counsel. Fairly and impartially n was triea oy twelve as .honora ble, intelligent, and conscientious men as eoald have been selected from any community. Our renders are parfestly familiar iwlth the events of that interesting trial. Tuesday evening tbe jury retired to deliberate, and on tbe first ballot stood seven for conviction, three for acquittal, and two mute, the mate votes being cast because the gentlemen desired to have certain points gone over and discussed in Ihe jury -room. Wednesday they stood eleven for conviction and one for acquittal, and so all day and all Dight until this morning shortly before tbe court was opened, and then they made np their unanimous verdict. A very large crowd tilled the hall this morning, and the prisoner sat alone nnatteoded by any of his rela tives. Tbe Jury came In looking grave, wearied, and even exhausted; several of them were no ticed to be nmisually pale. Their names were called of by Mr. Bull, the crier, and then Mr. Galton, the clerk, asked: "Gentlemen of the jury, have yon agreed upon a verdict?" Mr. Chrlstraan, acting as foreman, answered in n low, subdued tone of voice, "We have." Here the silence throughout the entire place became almott painful. The prisoner and the jurors were directed to stand up. Mr. Galton "How saT vou. centlemen of the jury, do you find John llanlon, alias Charles li ati ion, alias Charles E. Harris, the prisoner at Ihe bar. guilty of the felony of murder in man ner and lor in as he stands indicted,- or not !1(., "j" Mr. Chrlstraan "Guilty." Mr. Gallon '-Of what degree ?" Mr. Chrletman "We llud him gulltv of murder of tbe first degree." The prisoner's counsel moved to have the jnry polled, which was ordered by the Court, and each juror gave his vote emphatically as the foreman had given it. Tbe verdict was then recorded and read, and the jurors and prisoner resumed their peats, some of the former being affected to tears by tbe awful solemnity of the scene they were en actingbut tbe latter, the condemned wretch, w as as bard aud unmoved as a statue, not a nerve was seen to quiver to indicate tbe slightest emotion. Tbe jurors shook hands with counsel on both sides In the manner of men who bad, with the fear of God before them, faithfully and justly discharged a great and fearful duty, and then hastened to their homes, one, alas! to find that during his absence in the service of the public he had lost a dear brother, who was but yesterday covered by the grave. One gentleman, a neighbor of Judge Ludlow's, received an intimation that some dire calamity bad happened iu his family, and be rushed back into tbo court room In the greatest agitation and besought the Judge to tell hiai trulv what it was, and his Honor had some dllliculty in nsfuriiig hiin that his alarm was groundless and his loved ones were well. The prisouer was hurried from the dock into tbe van and then hastily driven to prison. A few moments after his departure his sisters came in, and upon learning tbe result gave utterance to the most piteous and heart-rending moans and sobs. They were with commendable gentleness conducted by the officers into one of the ante-rooms. The crowd now slowly dispersed, and soon tho monotonous, dull Quarter Sessions business was put into motion. The jurors who were confined iu the court house seventeen days and nights, expressed themselves satisfied with and grateful for the attention bestowed upon them, and the pains taken to secure their comfort. They bad good sleeping accommodations, were well fed, and the officers who bad theia in charge were always ready and willing to do anything to ren der their position easy. They were contented with all, and were enabled to give the case their whole attention, and after a' severe labor have acquitted themselves in such a manner that their consciences will ever be at rest upon tbis subject. Tbe following are the gentlemen who com posed the jury: Thomas Creagraile, gentleman; James F. Bradlicld. merchant; Joseph Wiapenny, gentle man; C. P. 11. Jeftry, gentlcmau; John Collins, glass blower; Hart Judah, gentleman; J. C. Christman, merchant; John Little, dealer; Tho mas J. Lippineott, carpenter; Jeremiah Klley, blacksmith; George W. Turner, dealer; John (iuiglwy, tailor. At tbe ' instance of his counsel llanlon was brought to court for a moment or two, while he mode a motion for a new trial. The reasons will be filed within four days. LEGAL. NOTICES.

Important Missionary Meeting. Cause ofthe Rcccntttlassacr as KOMKNT1C IV E VVH. Funeral of Mr. Starbuck Brace of Suicides. FR OM XEW ENG LAA I). Mlsaloaary Mreilo--lteport of Chinese fills Ions. TvOPtoh, Nov. 17. The Rev. Mr. Baldwin, a young miSHionary lately returned from China, where he has been laliorlng for twelve years, spoke in the Promtield Street Church last night, giving an ac count of matters connected with tne Methodist mission work lu that country. After describing some of the dim unities attending the missionary work, he said there were no converts daring the fit st ten years, but there are now nearly 2000 native christians, and among them many ministers and lay preachers, who sometimes endure uatold perse cutions. The Methodists have three principal mission sta tions, tbe largest being at Funchow. The mission aries in China look upon the Hurllngame mission in a different light from tkat In which It Is viewed by most people in this country. The Mandarins wanted the treaty of lb0 to remain as It was, and not to be revised at the end of ten years, according to agree ment, and to accomplish this end their chief bead offered the ISnrllngame mission to foreign nations, as no Mandarin of her first-class could arcept It; he was to receive forty thousand dollars. He was Instructed to make his new treaty as nearly like the old one as possible, but the people In China were astonished at the first report of bis speeches that came to them, to the effect that China wanted railroads, telegraphs, and all modern im provements, and offered to tbe Americans the Inside track In their construction; whereas such things were far frcm being tbe real wishes of the man derlns of Chics, aud the treaty was found, on com parison with the old one, to differ only la this, that wl.en China was ready to build railroads that Americans should lie allowed to furnish engineers, etc., for the work ; but the un derstanding the Americans had from Uurlln game's speeches snd representatives led them, and! the English and French ait rwards, to give direc tions In behalf of China; that no gunboats on the Chinese coast should exact reparation for injuries on the spot, hut that such injuries should be re ported to tbe Minister at Pekln, and thst he la turn should receive Instructions from the home govern ment before action should he taken against China, excepting only cases wblch Involved the lives of foreign citizens. China construed these instruction as Indications of backing down on tne part of the treaty making powers, Instead of Indications of magnanimity as they were intended, and the people very naturally consider that aa anv lnury they might do could not be punished tor nearly a year, it was a most favor abl opportunity to drive all foreigners out of China. This Is really his defense of all or the Chinese, as those on the spot cannot fall to ses, and this was tbe cause of the late terrible massacre there. . FROM THE WEST.

Washington, Nov. 16 (Correspondence New York Htrald). Carl Schurz having accomplished a victory in Missouri, has come here to enjoy it. He n.ay be seen here, looking happy and contented, sporting himself on the avenue la sunniest style. 1 our correspondent had an Interview with the Sena tor to-day, aad asked aoout tbe Missouri election, among other things. Tbe conversation may; be summed np in the following style: Correspondent Whatia the true meaning of the Uratz Brown victory in Missouri 7 ben a tor It means the triumph of the good sense snd intelligence or the people. It means that the declaration of rights shall no longer b a mockery; that white men shall enjoy the Irauchiae as well on colored, and that this nation is now sufficiently strong to permit every citizen, without regard to race, color, or antecedents, to vote. Drake and McClnrg tud others who were opposed to us are able end perhaps conscientious men, but they ore surprisingly narrow-minded aud provincial. They appear to think Missouri represent tbe wbole I uited Mates and they represent the American people. Tbe Ann rican people are entirely opposed to tbe continuance of proscription In any of the States. The war Is sufficiently long over to allow us to be generous. The party in Missouri wblch op posed our platform of universal enfranchisement had alienated some of tbe best meu iu the Jte publican party of the State The pressure In the direction of removing disabilities from the ex-rebels had all the force of a strong popular desire, and nothing but self-interest could have rallied a party egalnst the movement. As it was, the light en the other side was made entirely by oiliue holders, pre sent and prospective, Htate and Federal. President Uraut gave tbe weight of his lniluence to the McClurg party. And yet with all this against as, our opponents fighting, as it were, in an entrenched camp, we beat them by an Immense majority. Correspondent What is your upliiiuu of the Chi cago Tr lUune' Idea or starting a new party? Senator 1 do not exactly comprehend what that paper is driving at. There is no necessity of start ing a new party. Let the preaeut one undergo a little overhauling and it will be good enough to run for many years yet. We are always calling upon the Democracy to abandon dead Issues and recon struct ibeir piatform. Suppose we apply a little ot that advice to ourselvea wlucn we give so freely to them. Let us reconstruct a little. Why can't we go In earnestly and as one man for a total reform in the civil service aad the revenue and a total wiping out of disabilities, for complicity lu tbe Rebellion? We waut a broad, generous, com prehensive policy, comiueusura'e wlih tho alms aud aspirations of a great country. The Republican party must address Itself to the task of interpreting tbe great elections or this nation and cast ande all paltry reelings of partisan viudictlveuess and selfish nets. It baa done nobly as It Is, but tuere are indica tions that some of itsmwmbersare sailaiied with wkat baa been accomplished and are Indifferent about the future. 1 hey ignore the vast work that baa yet to be performed, and appear to think our mission Is finished. Tbis would be a fatal spirit, ir allowed to creep Into our ranks to anv considerable extent; but, nevertheless, the evidence of it can be found In tbe results of the late elections. We have a great deal yet to do, and J think a slight Increase in the Democratic Congres sional representation will act as a wboleat.me stimu lant towards rendering us a little leas basty and self-sufficient. We shall engage ourselves this ses sion with questions of domestic policy, and I have hopes that much more will be done thau there was hut session. The reconstruction of the South kept a great deal of legislation back, snd now that it is fixed we must endeavor to make up for lost time by attending to business which Is of vast luterest to the whole people til the country, namely, finance sn4 tbe tariff. i
