As reported, so sweeping and general in its character ia this amnesty to be, that alt Cubans now in forego countries will be permitted to return, and their property restored to them on giving in their allegiance to the Government; while those in the field will be pardoned without exception upon laying down their arms. As unlikely as this may seem, there is much reason to believe that this is tho intention. It is certain that Valinuseda is the only man living who can do this; but so great is his popularity among the Spaniards and confidence in his patriotism, they will quietly submit to anything he may determine. At tbe amo time he is especially anxious to rid himself of the charges of cruelly preferred against him, and no better way to accomplish this could be undertaken. On the 5th n meeting of the more prominent Spaniards was called at the Palace, and rumor was at once rife that it referred to tho amnesty question. It turned out, however, to be for tbe purpose of discussing the stamp tax recently imposed, and which falls in tbe most incon venient and onerous manner upon the mer chants, and which at the same time imposes duties on oflicials which it is utterly impracti cable for them to perform. Valniafeda bin forwarded the following des patch to the Colonial Minister, under date of the 3d: I In tbe name of the royal people of the lslauJ, of fell Its corporations, of the army, navy, and volun jseers, 1 request your Excellency to felioltate his Serene Highness the King, and tender him our re upect and homage.

I The following is the Bishops' communication in the Lanahan trial, now being held In New LYork, an abstract of which has been sent by telegraph: To tbe Book Committee of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dear Brothers: In our re lations to the Book Committee we desire to act (on all questions with the utmost frankness aud courtesy. Heretofore we have not been con sulted by your body as to the questions involved in this investigation. Of this we do not com !'rflain, but it seems to us a point has now been ttached when courtesy te the committee, as .fell as a due regard to our own responsibilities m the premises, require us to make the follow ing statements: 1. In meeting with the committee at their 4ivb owv vuuwui quw VTlbU IUCIU m ,u JO nvestigatlon, we must not be understood as hunt)'' in any seme, or to any extent, the re- ponslollity of receiving or entertaining charges ignlnH an editor or agent, prepared or pre sented a-. tLefre have been. Yet as these charges have been received or entertained by the com mittee, we consider It to be a duty to proceed fitb them in tbe investigation. 2. We cnot act as a concurrent authority in ;iny Investlgui ion, except as to the official con duct of our fill tor or went, f Tbe agents and tbe editors, if travelling ''reader, are amenable for their moral and iiinisterial conduct to the same ecclesiastical uihorlty as are other ministers of ttie Church. bey are members of annual c inforouues and re oillcially connected with ouartetly coo- rences, and are thus placed nudcr the iurisdlc- ion of the presiding elder in the interval of the nnual conierence as bishops. v e cannot consider and give orucial decisions pon such matters as come irooerlv under the urlsdiction of annual conferences wben in ses ion, or, if presiding elder, lu the interval of ato. conierence. 3. It baa long been a rule in our Judicial dminltJtratlou not to allow third parties to pre t charges ot eiauder or ot slauderous utter- Inces, and this administration has never been xcepted to by the General Conference.

Contrary to expectations the f rlgato Tennessee was not ready yesterday to leave the New York Navy Yard, to proceed to an anchorage ofl the Battery to take on board her powder. In tbe afternoon, however, an olllclal board of ollicers inspected the frigate throughout, and pro nounced her in every' way properly fitted out and equipped for sea. The engines of the ship have been tried at the dock, and found to work smoothly and satisfactorily, considering every thing. Wilh eight boilers under a full pressure of steam, it is expected that the engines can be made to work up tolhirty revolutions a minute, which ought to give a speed to the ship, under favorable circumstances, of from eight to nine knots an hour. Under sail and steam the ship is expected to perform wonders, or at least to knock off twelve to fourteen knots an hour. It will require six to eight days for the Tennessee to sail from New York to Samana bay, uuder favorable circumstances. Tbe proposed visit of the ship to Hampton Roads Las been relinquished, In consequence of the loss of time involved in a trip out of a direct course to San Domingo. As now contemplated, the ship will sail with the commissioners on Monday next, and will make a straight wake for the island. The commissioners are expected from Washington on Sunday morning, and will be on board the Tennessee before two o'clock in the afternoon, ready to pack their baggngo away before the ship feels the heavy swells of the Atlantic. A swarm of civilians are to accompany the Commission in various capacities, and nviny of them will be obliged to essay tbe perilous feat of lodging in a swinging hammock. THE BROOKLYN WHISKY RAID. Violence of tho mob Tho Streets Cleared by Troops-important Melxores. The New York Vosl of last evening says:' At 7 o'clock this morning the raid upon the illicit whisky stills in Brooklyn, which was in terrupted by the darkness of last evening, was resumed with the same precautions and tho aid of the military. About 1400 soldiers, including the 8th Infantry, an artillery corps, a body of sappers and miners, detachments of marines, aud other troops, were under arms. An unanticipated and important discovery was made made in John street, between Jay and Pearl streets. In a large open yard were two newly-erected sheds of considerable size. When opened nothing suspicious was visible, but tbe nasal organs of the revenue officers at once de tected a strong odor of "mash." Sappers and miners were at once set to work, and with vigorous blows begun to tear up the flooring, which was well laid and substantial. When the first planks were raised, a volume of steam, of fiungeat odor, rushed through the aperture, and t was plain that an important seizure was about to be made. Just as the excitement was at its height a shower of stones tsll among the lookers-on, atd before the work was proceeded with a detachment of troops were ordered to clear tbe adjacent streets, and to occupy the housetops surrounding the yard. These orders were obeyed, and the sappers again set to work. In a very few mlnutus the flooring of both sheds was demolished, and fifteen nnge vats full of mash were exposed. As the liquid was hot, it was certain that the still could not be far off, and a careful search wis tt once made. In the adjoining house a still, yet hot and wet inside, was found. But nre a slight difllculty occurred. The owner of the' still defied the ollicers to siezo it, claiming that he had bought it at auction about a week ago, and that they had no evidence to prove tha'. it Lad been used Illegally, as it was not on tho same premises with tbe mash. Although neither General Jourdan, nor his associates, doubled that the still hud been used in making the liquid that was then pouring into tbe gutters through the hose of a fire-engine, it was left unmolested. The total value of the mash, still, and shed seized In John etreet is estimated at 1 10 000. The sheds and tubs were torn to pieces, and the serviceable planking removed to the Navy Yard. In the meantime, it was ascertained thai a number of suspicious barrels had been found at the foot of Gold street, and, on examination, they proved to be full of "mash," which had doubtless been collected from some of the vats which were not thoroughly pumped out last night. The barrels had been artfully placed near some sugar refineries, and they were at first thought to contain molasses. The bungs were knocked out and the liquor allowed to escape to the river. It was remarked to-day by a gentleman exne- rienced in these matters that Illicit distilleries as a rule were constracted In such a manner that the contents of the vats can be emptied at a mo ment's notice Into the nearest sewer. The Brooklyn distillers, however, are unable to do (lilfl . thair t7 t a a ra riArtl v an nlr IntA th. an.th in order to render detection more difficult and to give more trouble to the revenue ollicers. THE TRILINGUAL AbUIN. Aaolhrr Ftchtortan Pan Pas lie Refuses to Art II Mr. 1 allaeU Is Allowed la the Theatre. I Drier tue heading "An Unmitigated Outrage by Charles Fee-liter," the Boston Traveller of last even In has the following editorial article: home weeks ago we endeavored, until we could no longer help tt, to keep all reference to the quarrels at the Olobe Theatre out of tie columns of the Tra telltr, and whn seat for by Mr. Fechtsr on the alter noon ot the 14th of December last, and re quested to publish bis statement of the troubles in this paper, we begged him to keep out of print, on tbe ground that a newspaper quarrel would only redound to his Injury aud standing In the com munity; but, wltb an unyielding obstlnancy en tirely characteristic of tbe man, be refused to listen to resson, aud so weut before tbe public. We bad hoped that, for his own sake, after this Mr. FettUer would have kept ul 111 sell within bounds, and, by acting tbe part of a gentleman, would at least have assumed a virtue which It would appear he is not really possessed of. For the pait week he has thrown a series of petty annoyances lu the way of the proprietor of the theatre, all tending to Impair his efforts to Inaugurate the new management of Monday .evem.-a next, and in this rspect has shown a petty 'baiTowiuBS and Jealousy unworthy of a man who makes his boasts that all he does Is for the Inte rest of art aud tue elevation of bis brother artist. y These annoyances culminated this morning by Mr. Kecbter, acting as we suppose uuder his pre sumed privileges as "sole meager, " refusli g the use of tbe stage for a rehearsal of At You 1. .ke It, threatening that If the stage was nsed for such a purpose he would not act to-night, aud this refusal of the stage was made at a time when the stage was not needed for any other purpose, wnen there were no rehearsals of any of Mr. Keohter'a pieces, aid wben the use of tbe stage would In no way interfere with any of tbe arrangements of tbe "sole manager." This action on the part of Mr. feebler Is as con temptuous as it la unmanly and uncalled for, aud takes its rise In a Jealousy against Mr. James W. Wallack. Mr. Fechier has declared that Mr. Wal lack shall not set foot oa the stage during his nianasemtnt. snd. In return for all the kindness showubmi by Mr. Cheney, he attempts to hampxr him fn bis endeavors to serve the public, and actu ally prevent Mr. fbeney from eonwoliing his own property in his own way. Mr. Kechter has taken a step in which he can be In no way JuatUKd, and we believe if tula Insult for 'It eau ba nothing less to the eutlre community bad been known be fore t o'clock to-dur, there could have been found at the Music Hall no person insane enough to hare paid seventy-flvo dollars premium for tickets to the V hier w-stimcntal to-morrow eight. Mr. Feebler has no right to throw an ODstacle In tho war of artists lu the performance of their duty to the public, aud fer bis action in this matter he is entitled only to the hearty contempt of the entire community.

It was uncoupled so as to admit of the passage of a horse car on its way from Hobokeu to Jersey City. Before the car got out of the way of the train tbe engineer backed down his train that it might not be coupled again. The horse car was thrown several feet to one side of the track and runcn damaged. There were ten passengers in the car, but they all mtracuouely escaped with out serious injury. The blame lies with the engineer of the trie train, and orders have gone forth dismissing him Ar. Y.

The Army of the Loire, the hope of France, has been defeated in a bloody battle within seven miles of the city. The report of cannon was -heard in the city all day. Tbe entire population of Le Mans crowded tbe housetops and suburbs of the city and all thoroughfares, and the progress of tbq fight was anxiously watched. Although the people are accustomed to the roar of cannon, tlrre never was seen such excitement. At 8 o'clock in the morning the right wing of the French ar.oy which was on the east of Le Mans, weresuddenly attacked by the vanguard, of Prussians which emerged from the woods on the extreme right of ths F.ench. Upon the alarm being given the advance of the French infantry wheeled into line of battle, the artillery pushing forward through intervals made In several ranks. The cavalry took posi tions upon the right and left wings. A more perfect line of battle could . not have been formed by the finest army. T!e artillery were well supplied with ammu nition and the infantry with one hundred rounds per msn. Tho supply trains were conveniently posted, and real bloody work began. The battle-field was a valley. Tbe two armies occu pied heights opposite each other. The French line was Feml-ctrcular, and extended twelve miles, overlooking tbe valley, which was cov ered with twolve Inches of snow. On the op posite heights tbe Prussians held almost a simi lar position. Shortly after 9 o'clock the Prussians began a furious cannonade from tbe woods, near the extreme left, flanked by an immense force of cavalry, the wood 'concealing their position, when the troops were massed with the evident intention of turning C'hanzy's position. The artillery fire continued on both sides until the ammunition of the Prussian artillery was almost exhausted, when the Prussians became furious and gave the order for the advance of. the in fantry. The French advanced with equal rapidity along the whole line to meet the Germans in a fair hand to hand musketry fight. The Germaus were cool and collected; the French. Impetuous and behaving bravely, but near noon the Mo biles began to waver, and the French, no longer able to hold their position, began to retreat. ' Meanwhile the dead and wounded strewed the ground, and the fields were rel with blood. The carnage was fearful, fifteen thousand French having fallen before 5 o'clock, when the whole French army was in full retreat. The number of troops engaged on each side numbered sixty thousand. General Cbanzy Is reported sick, bnt he is still in command, and it is expected another battle will occur to-morrow. FROM WliSHIJVGTOJV. Toe Aeproprfatlea Bill.

Unas testified thut an entrance was one afternoon made into the vault beneath the Register's ollice, where the records are kept, and Leary was seen standing a short distance otr concealing a cork screw with his foot. Upon examination It was found that a number of old records had bet n stolen away. There was nothing to prove legally that the pri soner was concerned with the theft, and therefore he was acquitted, ft Is btlleved that these boys found a ready market for these records In the shops of Juik and waste dealers, who buy them as old paper; and the main object of this prosecution was to discover who these dealers were which object, however, failed. Michael Dowlinrr, alias "Noodles, " was put on trial charged with assault and battery upon John A. Nen.

When Mr. Murphy began an excavation on the bank of tbe river at the foot tf a pier of tn Junction Railroad bridge, the railroad company compelled him to withdraw from the ground, and when he attempted to resume the work they arrested htm and had him bound ever to keep the peace. He now asks the Couit to discharge him, and argued that this bridge was a Slate work, and he, as coutractor for the Coru nilssloneis appointed by tbe Legislature, Is tbe agent of the State, and therefore be is bound by ummand of the Commonwealth to enter upon the ground In question and complete the work. On behalf of the railway It waa contended that when the State granted them their franchise It parted with the property In their ground, and therefore could not authorize Its nse for another purpose. The Judge said the only question before hltn was whether he should preserve the public peace while the parties settled their differences before die pro per tribunal, and this he would resolve affirmatively oy requiring Air. Murphy to give security In flow to keep the peace for the period of oue year. Forfeited Ball. The case of the Commonwealtti vs. F. L.

V' , j OBITUARY. todrfea Deatk of Dr. William p. fjwaalaclea. This morning Dr. William P. Cuunlngton. prominent as a musician In our citv, was found dead in hit bed at his residence, No. 1019 Fits water street. Tbe deceased had attained hlt sixty-eighth year. In early life he studied the science of medicine, but having a greater apti tude for that of music, took it up and attained a high reputation for his skill as an Instrument alist. For more than twenty years he was con nected with tbe orchestra of the Walnut Street Theatre, being for the greater portion of this time it leader. To onr amusement-goers he was well known. To his celebrity acquired through services in the leadership of many orchestras of this eity, be added a great deal wben he assamed the directorship of tho musical entertainments given at lairmount Park, with the establish ment of which he was from the first ideutificd. Mr. Cunnlngton arranged the Instrumenta tion for Balfe's Bohemian Virl, when It was first produced in this country by the Begnln troupe. He also wrote the music for the pro logue of Balfe's Enchantress, which was per formed by the Rlchings company, and also arranged tbe instrumentation for a considerable portion of the main body of the work, lie composed the music for the very popular song. -Trust to Luck." Mr. Cunnington was bora and educatad In England, where he married. He came here some thirty-fife years ago, and took np his residence in Richmond, where he com menced the practice of medicine. Within a year from his coming over he moved to this city, and graduated trom the University of Pennsylvania. He gave np the practice within a year of his graduation, and adopted, as we have said, the musical profession. He was generally empowered by managers of operas with the selection of orchestras. Of late he has been In very feeble health. Ills death will cause keen regret 'to a great number of our citizens. I'IA H AMI COlHlliftl'i;, EvxNiva TrxcoiUFH Ornccl Bstardsjr.
