JEFF. DAVIS'S CONDITION.
He is Very Comfortable.
BOSTON BILLIARD MATCH.
From Fortress Monroe.
FORTRESS MONROE, June D.—The miscel
laneoul statements connected with the re
lease or parole of Jefferson Davis, and even
the much agitated question of his failing or
improving health, are fast ceasing to be a
matter of discussion in this section of the
country. ,With the freedom of the fort
granted him, and the consequent relaxation
of vigilance over his movements, ceases all
the anxiety of an anticipated release or es
cape, and visitors sojourning temporarily
on the point would scarcely be aware of his
imprisonment here. In the recently fitted
np casemates in the Fortress, designated by
General Miles for their accommodation,
Davis and his family live far more comfort
ably than any of the officers of the garrison,
and their residence by the sea-side is by no
means as unpleasant as many persons
might imagine.
Billiard Match.
BosTox, June 21.—A Billiard match for
the championship of Massachusetts and a
purse of $250, was played last night by E.
Daniels and R. E. Wilmarth. Daniels was
the victor, thus retaining the champion cue.
The game was of 1,500 points, and occupied
five hours.
The China at Boston.
13osTorr, June 21.—The steamer China ar
rived this morning from Liverpool via Hali
fax. Her mails, and the newspaper bag for
the Associated Press, were forwarded by the

CITY BULLETIN.
THE FRANKLIN INsTlnrrE held its regu
lar monthly meeting last evening, in the
Lecture Room of their building, as usual.
After the ordinary business, of minutes, re
ports of committees, &c. had been trans
acted, the Resident Secret!au, Prof. Morton,
read his report on Novelties in Science and
Art. This opened with an interesting de
scription of the new works for the water
supply of Paris, includinethe aqueduct of
the Dbuis and of the Marne, with the re
markable reservoirs at Menilmoutant, which
are constructed one over the other, and are
both crypts,covered by arches and masonry
of the most massive character. These cyclo
pean vaults were lately illuminated with the
electric light during the visit of the munici
pal
authorities before the water was
admitted. The upper reservoir is covered
with sod, and the water flows into it over
ornamental rackwork and among beautiful
shrubbery. The upper crypt was built first,
and has its arches supported by 590 piers.
The lower crypt was excavated under it,
and contains 240 piers of the most massive
character. Together these reservoirs con
tain about thirty millions of gallons.
A new sort of graving dock, operated by
hydraulic lifts, lately constructed at Liver
pool, was then described, as also some ex
tensive marine structures in progress at
Havre, Bordeaux, and at Marseilles, where
the port now contains 225 acres of inclosed
water and 5 miles of quay. Account was
then given of a new iron bridge over the
Moldau, at Sprague, suspended on Mr.
Ordish's rigid principle, 820 feet long,
with a centre span of 476 feet. A notice
followed of the iron bridge over the Con
necticut River on the Hartford and New
Haven Railroad, which was built into the
old wooden bridge while the latter was in
use and trains were passing every thirty
:minutes. The following machines and in
ventions were then exhibited: An improve
ment in traction engines, by Theo. lirausch;
a fruit drying house, by Jasper Billings; a
a water door for furnaces, by Mr. Burgess;
a gas purchase tongues, of very solid, con
venient and easily adjustable arrangement,
by Richard Cox, and two calculators by C.
W. Peale, the one for computing wages, the
other for interest and discount, by which
the results of elaborate calculations are ob
tainable by mere adjustment and inspection.-
A full description, illustrated by diagrams
thrown upon the screen, of great size and
with admirable distinctness, was then
given of the new photographic lens invented
and constructed by J, Tentmeyer, of this
city. This lens involves many new princi
ples and applications, and on account of its
combined economy and perfection, may
well rankas one of the most important sci
entific inventions of the age. Many inter
esting facts connect with the history of
thisinvention by Mr. Coleman Sellers, and
we feel proud to think that its able and sci
entific developer is a citizen of our good
town. For fall details of this important
matter we must refer our readers to the
next number of the Franklin Institute
Journal, in which a complete account will
be given.
Drawings of remarkable sun spots, throw
ing much light upon the difficult subject of
solar physics, and some beautiful photo
graphs of microscopical sections, cfm, were
shown on the screen, and a kaleidoscope for
the magic lantern, from Mr. J. Queen, was
also exhibited.
Many new chemical experiments and
processes were noticed, among others the
curious chemical manufacture of green tea
leaves, by heating bichromate of, ammonia.
Some of this salt was prepared for the pur
pose by Messrs. Bullock & Crenshaw.
After the conclusion of the Secretary's
report, a letter from Gen. Tolton, relative to
the establishment of a Government Bureau
of Mechanical Examinations and Experi
ments was read and referred to a com
mittee composed of Messrs. Fairman
Rogers, Henry Morris, Wm. Horsteman,
James Whitney, J. V. Merrick, and after
some remarks by. Mr. Nystron, on the sap
posed outlets of the Dead Sea and other in
land bodies •of water, the meeting was, on
motion, adjourned.
DEATH OF -AN AUTHORESS.—Madame
Julie De Marguerittes died this morning of
heart disease, at her residence on Eighth
street, below Walnut. She was the daugh
ter of Dr. A. D. Granville, F. R. S., of Lon
don, _thee author of a number of eminent
medical works.• In early life, she was mar
ried to Baron de. Marguerittes, but during
tbe revolution of 1848 the Baron and his
family were driven from France, and his
estates were confiscated. They came to this
country, and settled in New York. The
Baron subsequently returned to Europe to
settle some of his akfairs, and died there.
Madame Marguerittes then came to Phila-'
delphia and soon became well known in
literary circles. She became connected with
Graham's Magazine and some of the lead
ing papers of the city, and has been con
nected with the Sunday Transeriot since its
foundation. Her contributions of "Parisian
Pickings" to that paper have always been
very popular. She was also well known as
the dramatizer of many popular plays. She
was the author of "Ins and Outs of Paris,"
"Places to Pause at and People to Remem
ber," "The Match Girl," " Italy in the War
of 1859," and other works. Her daughter,
Naomie de Marguerittes, left the city bat a
few days ago on a starring engagement
through the West.

of the house of Mr. W. C. Bridges, a few

Murder and Attempted Suicide in New
[From the Worlo of this morning.]
The denizens of the Eighth Ward were
greatly excited last evening over the news
that a murder had been committed is
Prince street. Hearing of the affair through
the police telegraph, our reporter proceeded
to the scene about ten o'clock. On his ar
rival at No. 139 Prince street, he learned
that one of the inmates, Miss Kate Smith,
only twenty-one years of age, had been
living a liie of ill-fame for some time, and
bad resided with Mrs. Amanda Cutler, the
proprietress, for some months past. Kate
bad a lover, whom she supported, named
Jerry 0 Brien. When Gen. Sweeny and his
gallant host departed for the frontier to in
vade Canada, Jerry formed a part of the van
guard. , On . thp movement being abandoned
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1866.
by the Fenian leaders, Jerry came back to
this city, with scarcely any clothes to his
back and no money in his pockets.
Kate was disgusted at this and summarily
dismissed her lover, and sought the affec
tions of a more prudent cavalier. Jerry
became greatly enraged at this sudden dis
missal. and endeavored to avenge himself
by lying in wait for Kate on Saturclaynight,
and struck her in the face, bruising her ter
ribly. Jerry was arrested subsequently on
a bench warrant issued by Justice Ledwith,
and held to bail to answer the complaint at
the Court of Special Sessions, which trial
was set down for to-day.
Yesterday afternoon, O'Brien proceeded
to the house kept by Mrs. Cutler, and sent
up a note asking to see her, but she refused
to accord him an interview. -He then went
to a fish stand and bought a knife, and, in
returning to the house, made his way up to
the room occupied by Kate. The proprie
tress, learning this fact, ran up to prevent
any violence. As she opened the door, she,
saw Kate kneeling before O'Brien, and im
ploring his mercy. When the girl saw Mrs.
Cutler she sprang up and after a Short
struggle succeeded in escaping from her
lover, but was quickly pursued by him
down stairs.
On overtaking her on the first floor, Jerry
plunged the knife into the unfortunate girl's
back, the blade entering below' the right
shoulder, inflicting a wound of so severe a
nature that she almost immediately expired.
As soon as the infuriated man found that he
bad killed his paramour, he deliberately
drew the knife across his own throat, but
did not succeed in inflicting a mortal wound.
The Eighth Precinct Police arrested
O'Brien, and his wounds were dressed by
Police Surgeon James, and Deputy Coroner
Wooster Beach. He was afterwards con
veyed to Bellevue Hospital. The body of
deceased remains in the house where the
deed was committed. Coroner Wildey will
hold an inquest to-day at 10 o'clock.

From Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 21.—The Imperial
decree of the Emperor of Austria, for the
protection of merchant vessels in time of
war, has been 'officially communicated to
the Department of State. It provides as fol
lows:
Article 1. Merchant vessels and their car
goes shall not, because they may belong to a
country with which Austria is at war, be
captured by Austrian ships of war, nor be
declared good prizes by Austrian prize
courts whilst the hostile power observes re
ciprocity towards Austrian merchant ves
sels. The observance of reciprocity will be
admitted until notice to the contrary, if like
friendly treatment of Austrian vessels is
guaranteed on the part of the hostile power
by the recognized principles of its legisla
tion, or by declarations made public before
the beginning of hostilities.
Article 2d. To merchant vessels which
carry contraband of war, or violate lawful
blockades, the provision of article one has
no application.
The mail transportation on the 'lst day
of July will far exceed that of any previous
period under the Government, and with
good reasons, it is believed to be better ar
ranged for the convenience and interest of
the whole people. Among the recent con
tracts is one for service from Vicksburg and
New Orleans, in suitable and safe steam
boats. Twenty-five intermediate offices on
this route will be supplied regularly three
times a week.
The President has approved the bill
giving bounties to colored soldiers and pen
sions, bounties and allowances to their
heirs, and also the bill to facilitate com
mercial, postal and military communica
tion among the several States, and autho
rizing railroads to form continuous lines.

WASHINGTON, June 21st, 1866.
SENA.TE.—Mr. Sherman (Ohio), from the
Committee on Agriculture, reported ad
versely on the bill to establish a National
Repertory in Germany. •
Mr. Wade (Ohio) offered a resolution,
which was adopted, 'instructing the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds to
inquire into the expediency of purchasing
the land between Maryland avenue and
Pennsylvania avenue, east of the Capitol,
for a National Park, in which to erect a
Presidential Mansion.
At the expiration of the morning hour
the tax bill was taken up.
Horsy.—Mr. Rice (Mass.) from the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, reported back the
Senate joint resolution for the restoration
of Lieutenant Commander Richard L. Law,
of the United States Navy, to the active
list from the reserved list. Read three
times and passed.
Mr. Morrill (Vt.) from the Committee on
Ways and ,Means reported a bill to re-or
ganize the Treasury Department and fix
the pay of its employes. He said that the
distribution of the two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars appropriated last year for
extra compensation to the employes of tyre
Treasury Department had given great dis
satisfaction. A similar measure - had
recently passed the Senate, but
from conversation with members
of the House he was quite satisfied
that a bill giving such discretion to the
Secretary could not pass the House. Still
it was apparent that the employes of the
Treasury. Department must have their nay
increased, and the Committee on Ways and
Means deemed it best to report a bill fixing
the matter definitely and legally.
This bill he said, if the same number of
mployes were retainedsFould only increase
he annual expenditures about $2.5,000.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) expressed his surprise
at this measure being reported from the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, as it. properly
belonged to and was now actually before the
Committee on Appropriations. • The Secre
tary of the Treasury had reported that out of
$250,000 left last session to his discretionary
distribution, he had only distributed $2.5,000
among the heads of bureaus and high
salaried clerks: and had asked what
was to be done with the $250,000.

WASHINGTON, June 21st.—Commander
Werden, of the United States steamer
Bienville, in• a communication received by
the Navy Department, dated Aspinwall,
June 11th, gives the particulars of the fire
at Mayaguez, Porto Rico, by which two
hundred houses were destroyed. At the
request of the Military Governor and
the mayor of the town, Commander
Werden despatched a force in charge of the
executive officer to the assistance of the in
habitants. He encloses copies of two letters
from the authorities, saying they will ever
hold in most grateful remembrance ihe
important and humane services rendered
by the crew in the extinguishment of the fire.
WASHINGTON, June 21.—Commodore
Rogers communicates to the Navy Depart
ment the information that the United States
steamer Vanderbilt arrived at Acapulco on
the 30th of May, with the Monadnock, after
a passage of 81- days from Panama. The
town, he says, is occupied by the French,
with a single vessel, the Lucifer, of 8 guns,
lying at anchor before it. The shores of
the bay are beleagured by the liberals
so that cocoa nut groves within cannon shot
of the town cannot he safely approached:
The coal agent desired the protection of the
American flag in giving coal to the Monad
nock. "We shall," he says i "probably.be
detained here for this purpose tnree
or four days, after which I shall proceed
to San Franc isco,stopping at Magdalena
bay to transfer c oal from the Vanderbilt to
the Monadnock. The average - number: of
knots run per hour by the latter vessel has
been 6 , 1- per hour. The greatest distance inn
in one day being 154 and the least 147 knots.
