On Thursday morning, Anna, aged about four years was in her usual health and ate her -breakfast. During the day she was taken ill with diptheria,and expired at ten o'clock the same night. - John, between two and - three years of age; was next seized with the • disease and died on Friday morning. A third, Fanny, between six and seven years old, fell a victim to the terrible malady, and during Friday , night death paten end to her • sufferings. - His only remaining child was - taken down ,with the disease, but we are - pleased to learn that hopes are entertained •of its recovery.

[For the Philadelphia Evening bulletin:l Since reading those delightful descrip tions of the gamins of Paris by Victor Hugo in Les Miserable,s, the earnest inqui rer has endeavored to find in the streets of her own city a fac-simile in the shape of a news-boy, boot-black, errand boy or office runner: The search was fruitless. If I ap proached a group of boot-blacks seated on their boxes, in angry or serious conshita tion on some violated ornewly-adopted rale of their business, a pause was sure to occur and in every eager upturned face I read, "Madam, if you want an errand done,l'm your man!" Then I walked away isap pointed. If some saucy rascal had quietly labelled his box GAP Snxn, I should have been delighted; but no, I was an American woman, and they were—who knows what? Perhaps a nursery of congressmenand gen erals. How I longed to be a boy just for an hour, on the Custom House steps. I would be sure to come in contact with a Gav roche and very likely be informed that "Uncle Sam happened to be the owner of these steps," and I would please to be informed that the speaker was a nephew of his, and as the boys were about beginning a game of I spy' I'd just have the goodness to • vamoose.' Bat I need not call on my imagination, for Gay roche has appeared. A few days ago, I was standing at a window of one of the numer ous boarding houses on Chestnut street, just in the act of lowering the blinds when I caught sight of a gamin! Yes, there he was, seated on a step so narrow that his little rag ged companion had to squeeze in between him and the cold stone jamb of the door. The Colton Association never launched a trembling victim of tooth-ache into crystal palaces and floating gardens with more magic quickness than that boy carried me to the Chestnut Street Theatre, placed me beside him on the front seat of the third tier and rolled up the curtain! There was Jef ferson, as Rip Van Winkle;' he drank my good health, and my family'S and wished they might all prosper !, His eyes twinkled, his loose knee joints caused him to spraddle about with a sad recklessness of manner, and his tones andgestures betrayed him for a good-for-nothing, idle scamp. He scolded his dog Schneider, laughed at the children, quarrelled with the miserable wretches who urged him - to drink, and then came an an gry scene between him and his indignant frau, Gretchen. The scene changed. Dame Gretchen was walking impatiently about her cottage; lit tle Meenie, her child, was sitting on a stool by the fire. An awful crash ! Schneider was in the pantry. The dame beat him out with a broom-stick, and Meenie cried sorely for him. Presently in came Rip. Oh, how his hair was pulled! Then his bottle taken from him; then followed a more quiet scene; Rip,cajoling ; Gretchen melting un der the kindly genial influence. Now came a soul-stirring part. Temptation stronger than Honor ! Rip stole his bottle, and was discovered breaking his promise of total abstinence before the dame's very eyes! Presto ! I was at my window again, watch ing the gamin. He took from his pocket a card, and utterly ignoring the interesting printing at the top, "Electric Soap; try it!" he pointed lower down with his dirty fingers to the photographic scene, the Expulsion. Back to the theatre went the two gamins, and in a trice. Rip, at first, paralysed by the fearful words, " this is my cottage, and out of it you go," staggered to the door, but this time under the weight of grief, and while the thunder pealed among the rocks, and the lightning • blinded his eyes, he blessed his weeping little Meenie and rushed from the cottage. On through the storm we followed him, the gamins and I, and beheld a fearful sight. A hump-backed dwarf, who had evidently been dead hundreds of years, induced Rip to carry a keg of the genuine liquid sulphur from a certain furnace that the most curious never wish to see, and making him believe it was Schnapps, beguiled him to the highest peak of the Catskill's, where Hendrick Hudson and his whole spirit-crew were rolling ten-pins. Though awed at first by the terrible pallor of their faces and the awful silence of theie men powerless to speak, that seemed Intensified after each roll of thunder in the distant mountains, Rip soon made his glib tongue serve for all, and learned by their answer ing gestures that they were having a- good time and wished him to drink with them ! He did so, and, while the fumes were tor turing his poor brains, the spirit-men point ing their bony fingers at him sunk into the ground and Rip slept alone! There's time for a long breath now, reader, for I am at my window again, a group of curious peo ple has gathered near the gamins, attracted oy Gavroche's gestures and loud tones, (that meant the thunder,) and though the group pretend to be , examining the goods in store windows,they are evidently eaves-droppers, and Gavroche knows it. Rising from the step he deliberately placed his hands on his hips, jumped up and down, scuttling his feet and with an additional gesture of the head, he produced a fac simile of the "What is it ?" I shall never get the roar of laughter that rose from that group out of my ears. They all 'moved on' good naturedly and with the childish forgetfulness of everything but the one absorbing fancy, down sat the two children ; and Rip's waking up ; his surprise at his altered appearance; the ap peal to a villager of Falling Water, to tell him where his home was; the recognition by Gretchen; young Heinrick's retnrn, and the reconciliation were • all desdribed, when a bell sounded! not the prompter's bell, but the State House clock struck ONE ! Away flew Gavroche and the little ragged urchin after him. The curtain had fallen for me and I was still wishing I had the power to prove my appreciation of his performance when a voice rose above the din and bustle of the business hour on Chestnut street, PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13.1866. "Evening _Bulletin, second edition!" ' Twas Gavroehe. Snatching my bonnet I has tened into the street, determining to buy all the-papers he bad, and beguile him into a conversation, and tell him about the NeWs boy's Home that is about to be' opened by the Young Men's Christian Association,and promise my assistance to place him there, but he was goner I saw and heard nothing more of him. That boy, properly trained, can be anything great. I have seen John B. Gough transform the stage of the Academy of Music into lecture-rooms, banqueting halls, . bridges, steamboats, stages, menager6 ies, and every imaginable thing, without the shifting of a single scene. I have seen Henry Ward Beecher, on a large platform, exercise the same power of description, but My little gamin, produced a theatre, audi enceond orchestra, seated on half, a cold stone step ten inches by twelve, and in - that space he assumed a hundred different posi tions. If he never meets. with Mrs. Drew, Mr. Sinn or Mr. Hemphill,. the world may be cheated out of a capital actor. If he stumbles into the News Boys'Home we may see a Whitefield on our streets again. If Thaddeus Stevens spies him, our future Andrew Johnsons will be ready to cry out 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown !" Shade of Gray ! assist us and bring this "village Hampden" to the honors that his genius well deserves. Who is he ? E. D. W. An Interesting Cane.

The Colorado Eleetion—Card from Sena tor Clusffee. , To the Editor of the New York Tribune:— SIR: My attention has been called to a statement from Colorado in regard to Governor Cummings which you will doubt less receive. I most emphatically deny that a company of volunteers, formed of rebel prisoners en listed at Chicago, voted for Mr. Chilcott at the recent election in Colorado. Men of that class generally vote for those who sym pathize with them. The legal vote of the Terrttory-showed the election of Mr. Chil cott, as certified by the Board of Canvassers. Gov. Cummings declared - himself that Mr. Hunt was elected, and gave him a certificate to that effect before the vote was canvassed. J. B. 011.6-FFEE. The Chicago Times of yesterday morning, in a double-leaded leader, repudiates Presi dent Johnson, and advocates negro suffrage. It argues that if the negro controversy can be settled, there will be some hope for the Democracy, and, for this reason, advises that all claimed for the negro be conceded by the Copperheads at the North and the rebels at the South. It says that negro suffrages is inevitable, and that whether it is 'universal or qualified depends altogether upon the promptness, or otherwise, with which the Democratic party will move with refer ence to it.

Mr. Williams, charged with picking a lady's pocket in aßroadway om nibus, Justice Dodge has felt obliged, in the strict line of duty, to hold the accused for trial. The evidence is hardly of a character to lead to conviction. The pocket of the lady alluded to had been cut by some ex pert thief before he picked up the pocket book, so that it could not have been in the pocket when he found it. It is hoped that the reverend gentleman will be able to vin dicate himself thoroughly before a jury.-- /V. Y. Times..

Arrest of General Ortega---His Protest Against the Action of General Sheridan--Escobedo Moving on. Matamoras to De pose Canales. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.] BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Nov. 6, via Nnw OBLEAris, Nov. 12, 1866.—The steamship St. Mary, from New Orleans, arrived at Brazos Santiago, on the afternoon of the 3d instant, having[ou board Gen. J.C. Ortega and suite, consisting of the following: General Ortega, Governor of Puebla, General E Baena, Governor of Morelia, Colonel J. Sogas, Co lonel Joaqnin 3. Ortega, Major Carlos Or tega and Captain F. Gneligar. Immediately on their arrival they were arrested by the commanding officer atßra zos, but will be permitted to return to New Orleans should they so desire. Upon being informed of his arrest, General Ortega sim ply demanded a copy of the order, and sub mitted with dignity. The affaix created no marked sensation here, as General Sheri dan's letter of October 23 had prepared the public mind for it. A courier from some party in Mexico found in consultation with Ortega after the boat landed has also been arrested. Botow - Navuxx, Nov. 8, 1866.—A protest from General Ortega and the members of his suite appears in the Rio Grande Courier of this morning. The General Erst refers to the guarantees under which he came— guarantees which he claims in their scope tacitly admit his proper political character as the constitutional President of the Mexi-. can republic. He then recites the acts ac companying, and including his arrest, and protests, first, against the violation of the individual guarantees given by the law of this country to foreigners traveling therein; second, in the name of and as President of the Mexican republic, as constituting an in direct interference by armed force of the United States in the solution of local Mexi can questions; and, third, against any act, direct or indirect, which, by force attempts to impose upon the people of Mexico .the factional government of Don Benito Juarez. I am satisfied that the policy here will be hereafter much more active in support of Juarez, and that at least a strong moral in fluence will be exerted to settle the troubles over the river. Massmonas, Nov. 6th, IS66.—Canales still holds the city. On the afternoon of the 2d a courier arrived here from Juarez, bearing a peremptory order for the surrender of the city to Tapia. After holding a council of his officers, Canales conse - ted to surrender to Tapia on the following conditions, viz The troops to pass beyond the State of Tamauli pas; all the acts of Canalea's administration to be declared valid; no one to be persecuted for political acts , since the 12th of August; Canales to remain in command of the troops. These conditions Tapia styled unworthy of notice, and stated that he should attack the town at an early day. Canales continues to exact money from the people. His father, General Canales, Sr., arrived here yesterday, and has been in consultation with Tapia to-day. A stage from 3lonterey reached here yes terday. From a private letter of Escobedo I learn that be has returned from an expe dition to the State of San Luis Potosi. The Frenah, under Douai, with the force of traitors on Squirioga have retired from Mathuela towards San Luis. Nothing is said of Mejla. The situation is con sidered eminently satisfactory. Gene ral Escobedo had received orders from Jattrez to proceed to Matamoras in person and settle affairs on the Rio Grande. In accordance therewith he states that he will start on the 6th with fifteen hundred men and six pieces'of artillery. It is not probable, therefore, that any attack will be made by Tapia before his arrival,, which will be about the 10th or 12th. Per contra, it is reported and believed by Canales that Erenino and Navajo have bsen defeated in the vicinity of Matapanli. Gen. Ortega and staff have determined not to re 'turn to New Orleans, but will remain at Brazos for the present waiting the action of the military authorities. France has declared war against Corea. Hit a boy of yer size, Nap! 'Mrs. McGentry, of Smithville, R. L, killed herself rather than go to the poor house. She very properly considered that the poor-house was no place for the gentry. Dr. J.

His reduced ores will be in every boat-club's hands, and who does not know what a blessing C.' Ayer is to' every one who crosses the Atlantic? The Mississippi Legislature has passed a bill to furnish every married soldier with an artificial leg. A most needless extrava gance, as a great .many,of them have two legs of their own already. It would be much more sensible to tarnish each un married soldier•virith an artificial "rib." "Hanging by the neck until they are dead" is the penalty in Mississippi for horse stealing. A complete premium on the offence. A horse thief very often fails for want of a halter. London sends oat no mail and has no postal delivery on Sunday. But perhaps they have no Sunday cars in that beautiful village. They are doing up the meteors in Boston in style.

BRIGHT IN IRELAND. Speebt of the English Reformer on the. Rights and Wrong-s of the Irish. [Dnibra (Oct n 3) correspondence of London Times.] /Mr. Bright having accepted the invitation of a number of his political friends and ad mirers to visit the sister kingdom, was- en tertained this evening at a grand banquet in the Rotunda, The O'Donoghue presided, supporteti n by Sir John Gray, M. P. There were also resent several dignitaries and a considerable =Tiber of the clergy of the Rounan catholic Church. Covers were laid for fme hundred persons, "The health of John Bright" was duly toasittl. Mr. Bright, who was received with loud and continued cheers., responded:,_ He said; I feel myself more embarrassed than I can well deaeribe at'the difficult but still the honorable position in which I find myself te-night. r The Parliament of Kil kenny, which is .a Parliament thM-.set a very long time ago, and which waa scarcely a Parliament at s 1 [laughter]—it was a Par liament which sat about WO years ago, and which, I believe, proposed to inflict a very heavy penalty on any Irishman's horse found grazing on any Englishman's land— [laughter]—the Parliament of Kilkenny, I say,. was a Parliament which left on, record a question which it may be-worth our while to consider to-night. It asked the- King this question, "How comes it to pass- that the King is never the richer for Ireland ?" We, 590 years after, venture to ask the same question, Why is it that the Queen, os the Crown, or the United Kingdom, or the empire is never the richer for Ireland?' And if you will permit me I will try to give, as shortly as I can, something like an answer to that very old question. What it may be followed by is this—How is it that we or Parliament can act so as to bring about in Ireland contentment and tranquillity and a solid union between Ireland and the rest of Great Britain? And that means further, how can we improve the condition and change the minds of the people of Ireland? Some say—l have heard many a man say in England, and I am afraid there are Irish men also who say it—that there is some radical defect in the Irish character which prevents the condition of Ireland being so satisfactory as is that of England or Scotland. Now, I am inclined to believe that whatever there is that is difficult in any portion of the Irish- people comes not from their race, but from• their history and the conditions to which they have been sub jected. [Loud and prolonged cheers.] I am told by those in authority that in Ireland there is a remarkable absence of crime. [Hear, hear.] I have heard it since I came to Dublin from those well acquainted with the facts that there is probably no great city in the world—in the civilized and Christian world—of equal population with the city in which we are now assembled, where there is so little serious crime com mitted [hear, hear]; and I find that portion of the Irish people which has found a home in the United States, has in sixteen years—between the years 1848 and 1864. remitted about £13,000,000 sterling to their friends and relatives left here. [Hear, hear.] Well, I am bound to place these facts in opposition to any statements which refer us to any personal difficulty in the Irish people. I say it would be much more probable the difficulty lies in the govern ment and the Irish laws; but there are some others who say.the great misfortune of Ire land is the existence of the obnoxious race of political agitators. Well, the most dis tinguished political agitators who have ap peared during the last one hundred years in Ireland are Grattan and O'Connell, [loud cheers]; and I should say that he must be either a very stupid or a very base Irishman who would wish to erase the achievements of Grattan andO'Connell from his country. [Loud cheers.] Bat some say —and that is an uncommon thing in Eng land---some say that the interests of the popular church in Ireland have been the muse of much discontent. [Cries of "No, no."] I believe there is no class of men in Ireland who have a deeper interest in a prcsperous and numerous community than the priests of the Catholic Church, Further, 1 believe no men have suffered more, I mean in mind and in feeling, from witness ing the miseries and desolation which, dar ing the last century, to go no further back, have stricken and afflicted the Irish people. [Cheers.] But some others say that mere is no ground for complaint, because the laws at d inatitu dons o f Ireland are in the main the same as the laws and institutions of England and Scotland. They say, for example,that it' therebe an established Church in Ireland there is one in England and one in Scotland, and that nonconformists are very namer btth in England and Scotland; but they seem to forget this fact, that the Church in Englandor the Church in Scotland, is not In any sense a foreigh Church [hear, hear], that it has not been imposed in past times and is not maintained now by force, that it is not in any degree the symbol of con quest, that it is not the Church of a small minority absorbing the ecclesiastical re venues and endowments of a whole king dom, and/ they omit to remember or dis cover that if any government attempted to plant by force the Episcopal Church in Scotland, or the Catholic Church in Eng gland, the disorder and discontent which have prevailed in Ireland would be wit nessed with tenfold intensity and violence in Great Britain. Ireland has been a land of evictions [hear] a 'term, I suspect, which is scarcely known in any other civilized country,but it is a country from which thousands of fami lies have been driven by the force of land owners and the power of the law. It is a country where have existed to a great ex tent those dread tribunals known by the common name of secret societies, and where in the pursuit of what some men thought to be justice there have been committed of ences of appalling guilt in the eyes of the whole world; it is a country too, in which, and it is the only Christian country of which it may be said for some centuries past, it is a country in which a famine of the most desolating character has prevailed even during our own times. Now in Ire land there has been a field in which all the principles of the tory party have been completely experimented upon and developed. [Cheers.] You have had the country gentleman in all his power. You have had any number of acts of Parliament.which the ancient Parlia ment of Ireland and the Parliament of the United Kingdom gave them. You have had an established Church, supported by the law, and not many years ago driven to the necessity of collecting its revenues by a portion of the army of the country. In point of fact, I believe it would be difficult to im agine a state of things In which the princi ples of the tory party have not had a more entire and complete opportunity than they have within the limits ofthia island[oheers]; and yet what has happened? Why, that the kingdom has - been continually weakened, that harmons , has been disturbed, and that F. L. FETHERSTON. Publid= DOUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS. the mischief has not been confined to , the United Kingdom, but has spread to ,the most remote colonies of the Empire, and at this moment, as you know, from ,every arrival from the United States the colony of Canada is exposed to the 'hanger of inva sion—that it is compelled to keep on foot soldiers which it otherwise would not want, and to involve itself in expenses which threaten to be ruinous to its financial, con dition, and all this to defend itself from Ir ishmen hostile to England, who are settled in the United States; in fact the govern ment of Lord Derby is at this moment do ing exactly what the government of Lord North did nearly one hundred years ago— it is sending troops across the Atlantic' to fight Irishmen who are bitter enemies of England on the American continent. [Cheers.], Nov, I believe every gentleman in this room will admit that all I have said is literally true, and if it be true, what con clusion are we to come to? Is it that the law hrbad and the people good, or that the law is good and thepeople bad ? [Cries of "Oh, no." ] Let us for a moment, if we can, stand on one side for a little bit, let us get rid for a moment of Episcopalianism,. Presbyterianism, Pro testantism and Orangeisat on the one hand, and of Catholicism Romanians, Ultramon taaism, and anything else that friendly or unfriendly tongues may paint out on the other; let us for a moment get above all these "isms" and try,if we can, to discover what is the matter with your country. I shall ask you only to turn your eyes to two points—thefirst is the Established Church, and the second is the land. The Church may be said to affect the soul andeaeritiment of the country, and the land the means of living and the comfort of the- people. [Cheers.] I shall not blame the bishops and clergy of the Established Church; there may be, I doubt not, many among them pious and devoted men, who labor to the utmost of their power to do good in the districts which are cbmmitted to their charge; but venture to say that if all were good and all were pions it would not in a national point of view, compensate for the one fatal-error of their existence as ministers of an estab lished Protestant Church in Ireland. Now I leave the church and come to the question'of the land. I have said that the -ownership of the land originally came from conquest and confiscation, As a matter of course, there was created a great gulf be tween the owners and the occupiers, and it has come to this, that there has been want ing that sympathy which existed to a great extent in Great Britain, and ought to exist in every country, between them. I amtold, and you can answer if I am wrong, that it • is not common in Ireland to give leases to tenants, especially to Roman Catholic Matz ants. [Cheers.] If this be so, then the se curity of the property of the tenant rests on the good feeling or fairness of the owner of the land. The law, as we know, has been made by the land-owners for their own be hoof, while the tenants have unfortunately been too little considered. by Parliament, and the result is that you have bad farming. bad,feeling, bad temper, and everything that is bad,instead of cultivation of the land, Y have also a result the most appalling oi all—a population who are fleeing from their country and seeking a refuge in distant. lands. [At thispoint considerable interrup tion was created by some person, who was promptly removed.] Mr. Bright, onresam ingssaidt I am very sorry that this gentle man, who, I am told, is an Orangeman, was not contented to listen to the end of my speech, because, probably, I might have told him something that would be useful to him to know, but, returning to the point,. and to the fact that a large ortion of' the population are fleeing to another country, I wish to refer to a letter which I received a few days ago from a most intelligent citi zen of Dublin. He told me that he believed that a very large portion of what he called all the poor people among the Irishmen sympathized with any scheme or any prop usition which was adverse to the • imperial government [cheers], and he said further that the people here are rather in the coun try than of it, - and that they are looking snore to America than they are looking to England. [Cheers.] Well. I think there is a good deal in that. [Hear, hear.] When we consider how many Irishmen haws found a refuge in America, I do not know how we can wonder at that statement. You will recollect that the ancient Hebrew in his captlyity, had his windows open towards Je rusalem when he prayed. You know that' the follower of Mohammed when he prays turns his face towards Mecca, and the Irish peasant, when he asked for Mod, and free dom, and blessings, his eye follows the set ting sun. [Loud and continued cheering.] The aspiration of his heart reaches beyond the wide Atlantic, and in spirit he grasps hands with the great Republic of the West. [Loud cheers.] I.l' that be so, I say then that the disease is not only serious, but that it is even desperate—[cheers] ; but, desperate as it is, I believe there is a certain remedy for it if the people and the Parliament of the United Kingdom are willing to apply it Now, if it were possible, would it not be worth while th change the sentiment and to improve the, condition of the Irish cultivator of the soil? [Hear, hear.] 'a a z. I have said that the disease is desperate, and that the remedy must be searching. I asert that the present system of government with, t reaard to the Church and with regard to the land has failed disastrously in Ireland. Under it Ireland has become an object of com miseration to the whole world, and a dis eredit to the United Kingdom, of which it forms a part. It is a land of many sorrows. Men fight for supremacy and call. it Pro testantism. They fight for evil and bad laws, and they call it acting for the defence of property. Now, are there no good men in Ireland? of those who are opposed to us in politics, are there none who can rise above the level of party ? If there be such, I wish my voice might reach to them. I have often asked myself whether patriotism is dead in Ireland. Cannot all the people of Ireland see that the calamities of their country are the creations of the law; and, if that be so, just 'laws only can remove those calamities. If the Irish were united ; if your one hundred and five members were for the mostpart a ,greed, you might do almost anything you liked, even in the present Parliament. La the effort now making in England to create a true representation of the people you have the deepest interest. [Hear, .hear.] , The peas ple never wish to suffer, and never wish to inflict injustice. They have no sympathy with the wrong-doer, whether, in Great, Britain or Ireland, and when they are, fairly represented in the Imperial Parliamena--aa I -hope they will be one day—they will speedily, effectively and finally answer that old question ofjhe Parliament of Kilkenny, "How comes it to pass that 'the King has never been the richer for Ireland?" The honorable gentlemgaresumed his seat amid loud and proloaged-abeers.
