Very distressing accounts have recently been sent from the neighborhood of York town, Virginia, of the dispossession of the freed people from their lands. After the Northern occupation of Yorktown, crowds of colored people, hungering for freedom, came within our lines and were assigned lands to cultivate for their own support, Flourishing villages and thriftly cultivated farms sprang up. These people believed the land their own, and after nearly three years of possession bitterly resent the breach of faith'which returns it with all their im provements, their cabins and gardens. to their rebel masters and turns them out, in mid winter to starve and die. To the former slave two ideas are necessarily connected with his conception of freedom—the right to 'educa tion, and the right of ownership. When these lands were assigned to them, the be lief that they • their own became the stimulus to earnest exertion. An anecdote, related by a teacher who has been much among them, will best illustrate their feel ing on this point. She says—"l visited the cabin of Aunt Lyddy, a hopeless cripple irem rheumatism, and found her little gar dtn blooming like a rose. She had trans planted blackberry bushes from the wilds and made a hedge; she had roses blooming and sweetbriar, besides potatoes, garden vegetables and "garbs." I said, 'Aunt Lyddy, how do you manage to do all this and you so lame and suffer hoe' She answered, 'De Lord helps me, Missus, and when I 'gins to faint, I sea, Liddy, dis your garden, and dat gins me heart to strike de spade deep- And when my arm grows tired, I keep say ing, Lyddy, die your own garden, and dat makes de spade go deeper and deeper.' To day poor Aunt Lyddy, with thousands of others, learns that her dream of ownership was a delusion, and the pretty garden fills to the possession of one who has dyed his hands in loyal blood, while old Aunt Lyddy becomes an outcast and a wanderer." The Women's Freedmen's Relief Associa tion, who work especially for the freed people, are straining every nerve to meet the great tide of suffering and sorrow, that this authorized injustice is daily causing. They appeal through our columns for sup port; We hope •our philanthropic public will hold up their hands in so noble a work of charity. - CRARrEs H. HART, Esq., of this city, corresponding secretary of "The Numis matic and Antiquarian Society of Phila delphia," is preparing a "Bibliographia Lincolniana," to comprise the complete title, viz: every word which appears on the title page, verbatim et literatini et puitc tatim, the size, the number of pages, the text and the number of copies printed, of every sermon, eulogy, address; etc., etc., occasioned by the death of President Lin coln. It is to be appended to the "Life of Lincoln" by Hon. William . ' H. Henadon, and •Mr. Hart is very desirous of having his work complete and perfect, and would feel indebted to authors and others knowing :of anything they might deem ofinterest in the above line to communicate with him. He would particularly ask the attention : of State and city governments that have pub lished anything on this subject to his work. Papers, by copying this notice, will confer a great favor on Mr. Hart. RisToßl,—The sale of subscAption seats for the engagement of Mme. Ristori, at the Academy of Music, will commence on Monday next, instead of Thursday, as pre viously announced. The great artist and her company are having splendid success in Baltimore. They go thence to Wash ington, and will positively begin here on Monday, December 10th. New Jerney .31atters. ATLANTIC CrrY.—On the evening of the 27th inst., the new Council of Atlantic City was organized, and the other municipal officers were duly qualified and entered upon the discharge - of their duties.—On Thanksgiving day appropriate ceremonies were had at the M. E. Church, the new Mayor presiding, and an eloquent discotirse was delivered by Dr. Tliomas K. Reed.— Work has been suspended on the new turn pike+ connecting the city with the main land at Pleasantville, for want of funds. As this road will, when completed, _be of great advantage, <the friends of the enterprlee should take measures to finish it at once. —Building is remarkably active, and the structures going up are of first-class charac ter. More than fifty carpenters have got work for the winter in that city, and more will be needed before winter closes, in order to com plate the improvements contemplated by the time the season next year opens.—:— The Union 'League Of Atlantic City have made arrangements to give a grand supper on Monday evening next, in honor of their complete victory at the late election. "Is understood that another large . factory is about to be erected by, the Camden Woolen litUlb3 Manufactur ing Company, in close proximity to their present one, on State street. These manu facturing establishments exert a greater in fluence in the building up of Camden than any other single agency. THANKSGIVING.—Yestezday, in. Camden, was appropriately observed tin all the churches as a day of thanksgiving. In each cnurch a large attendance was present, and the discourses were able and interesting. As a general thing business was suspended, and everything appeared as quiet as a Sab bath day. A NEW POST OFFICE hes been establit'3l2ed at Merchantsville, Camden county, and Charles W. Stern appointed postmaster. This postal advantage has been secured through, the personal influence and exer tions of Senator elatell. To BE REBUILT.—The- Saighn's Point Foundry, which'was recently destroyed by fire, is soon to - be rebuilt,. arrangementshaving becg conameneed for that purpose, PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30,1666; FENL4iBE. THE PRISONERS AT TORONTO Exci' eraent at Mon.treal [porreepondance of the N. Y. Herald.] Tonnwrci, Nov. 29.—As it - was generally expected that judgment would be delivered in the Court of Queen's Bench or Common Pleas on the, application of Mr. McKensie, on behalf of the Fenian prisoners - for a new trial,a large number of people attended, and at time the- court opened scarcely a seat could be obtained. They anxiously waited until near two o'clock, when it was inti mated that tbe judges would give no deci sion, thoSe,in the Queen's Bench differing in tot* with - the opinion of their brethren in the Common Pleas. • • , At Osgood Hall it is said that the judg ment in the Common Pleas will be adverse to the applicants, while, in the Queen's Bench, Judges Efagarty and Morrison are of the opinion that the grounds urged jus tify them in granting the rule. Only two days new remain for them to: express their views. If adverse to law they may possibly satisfy public opinion; but it is doubtfal whether it will prove of ultimate benotlt. 'As regards the Rev. Mr. M.cMabon's case, it would amount , to nothing short of murder if liaeyi carry out the, ,sen tence. The evidence against him was of a nature which would convict no man in a free country, and it is much to be deplored that religions and party motives have so - much to do with influencing a jury. It is but just to add that Messrs. Morphy and Meßensie have been unceasing in their efforts to do all in their power - on behalf of their unfortunate clients. Not a atone has been left unturned; and if their discharge depends upon legal acumen, better men could not be found. To my own knowledge McXensie has not beenin bed for two nights —devoting the entire time to earthing au thorities for his clients' defence. MONTREAL, Nov. 29, 1866.—The dspatches to the Herald by the Atlantic cable, an nouncing the outbreak in Ireland, is the only topic of conversation in the province, The Canadian government are willing to discharge the Fenian prisoners * confined here, if the United States government will guarantee that Roberts shall not attempt to make another raid on the province. The Fenian prisoners are to be removed on Sunday morning at three o'clock, under a strong guard. Their removal at so early an hour is done in order to prevent any at tempts of their Mends in getting up a riot between the ditizens smiths military. At Sweetsburg it is impossible to secure lodg ings, as all the hotels are crowded with strangers from the United States, who have come to witness the trials. The sixty witnesses for the Crown arrived to-day and were ordered to 13 weetsbarg. The Hon. B. Devlin, Queen's counsel, in tends to make an applicationon the . . • . .g of the court to have the prisoners d : ed on the grounds of some informality in • e indictments. About four thousand stand of rifles, simi lar to to those captured at Fort Erie from O'Nejl last June, have been brought into this city by a person who states that he purchased them in New York and brought them here as a commercial speculation. They have been offered for sale, but at such a high figure that it is rumored the govern ment intends to inquire into the matter. The work of housing the gunboats laid up in the province will be completed this week. The following will be the distribution of the boats for the winter: The Heron at Toronto, the Cherub and Prince Alfred at Goderich, the Britomart and Rescue at Dunnville, the Hercules and Royal at Kingston. The crews are to be formed into a marine bri gade. At a meeting of the Executive Coun cil yesterday they decided that some of these boats should have been 'kept ready for ser vice during the winter. The time of a large number of the regulars now stationed in the Province expires (luring the coming, month. The govern ment has ordered that the men be detained until the country is in a more settled con dition. Sixteen pieces of artillery and a large quantity of amniunition was forwarded to day to St. Catharine. The members of the Canadian Cabinet in England to arrange the details of confede ration don't agree, and it is likely they will return without accomplishing their mis . Edon, Governor General Monck is to be recalled immediately for permitting Lamirande to be delivered to the French authorities with out consulting the home government. MoNTREAL, C. E., Nov. 28, 1866.—This morning an excited crowd gathered about the Post Office corner, Great St. James and St. Francis XaVier streets, on receipt of the news from Ireland. and the general opinion was that Canada would now have to look out for trouble with the United States, as the British Government will not pay the claims for the Alabama damages; and it is now thought that the late telegram to the Governor General was to warn him of the coming danger. The hope is expressed among the English party that France may be involved at the same time in a war with the United States. It is not very long an that the French Government intimated a readiness to assist in the defence of Canada in the event of a war with the United States, if the British naval forces _would co-operate in the Gulf of Mexico with the'French force, with the object of defeating any attempt upon Mexico by the United States. An effort will now be made to revive the I old entente cordiale of 1854-56, that the two old . nations may fight as one against the young giant of the New World. Major-General Stisted is to come out here to replace General Lindsay. Thesetwo offi cers are "six of one and half a dozen of the other" in their military merits. There is no officer In Canada fit to com mand 20,000 men operatingagainst a United States force., • +lt is only an Englishman who could con ceive that the 12,000 men now in Canada would'make anything like a defence of the province. _ As to France sending troops to Canada, the English would be too Jealous of it; for they (the French) might do as at Rome—that is, ocenny Canada, in, the east of which they would be received with , open arms and en wuraged to stay. In such a case the acqui sition of; Canada would '.be 'a goad set-off against the loss of Mexico: Indeed, a: lead ing man in Canada has advised that Lower Canada be given - to the French, and Upper. Canada to the Americans, that there mint be perpetual -war between the two peop, e over the Ottawa river. . , Tan MORALS of Wheeling, West Virginia, are improving. On Saturday, for the third consecutive day, there was no session of the Police Court; the lock-up was empty,:and the ehatn gang i& without an operative. OftVSfa. coTrNmtv. Great Floods and Loss of Life in Faiglaild. A great flood, caused` by two 'days' inCes ' sant rain_, took place in Yorkshire and Lai cashire Englend,--a—fartnight ago. -. The Leeds /ffercury says:„ ' ' It is long since Leeds presented Scenes so singular as those which were to be witnessed yesterday in the streets adjoining the river and the becks flowing through the town. The appearanceof the streeta adjoining the river last night was very remarkable. 4d venturous passengers seeking to advance along them were constantly istoppeti by po licemen carrying flaming torches, from whom they received an intimation that their firther .progress was' arrested by the water. Then, when • they peered out into the darkness beyond they saw broad sheets of water. smooth and black, in place of the uneven pavement. Occasionally, a resident in the neighborhood might be seen seeking his home, wading. barefooted,' through the flood until he reached his' door. At the. junction of Hunslet Lane and Meadow Lane, the water was about two feet deep, and was therefore impassable to foot p:as sengers. But as that was the principal ap prc nth to Hunslet, the traffic could not be entirely stopped on account of the flood,alid a system of ferries was consequently es tablished, the ferries consisting of carts and omnibuses, which plied to and fro across Leeds Bridge and through the' lake which lay beyond. It was a singular Eight to see the crowd ofworking men ,hang lug about the bridge and waiting for their turn to cross to' their homes in this novel 'manner, and equally singular was it.to See the carts and wagons entering the sheet of water, the legs of the horses churning , it into foam as they passed onward, and the ' vehicles leaving a brOad track in their wake, not unlike that left by a steamer. An accident of a serious nature occurred at one of the buildings erected by the side of the dam. A large chimney connected with tbe corn mill occupied by the executors of the late Mr. Edward Hudson, soddenly fell. The cope stone, a huge piece of masonry, was projected across the dam, and striking the roof of one of the buildings in School close, completely demolished it. The build ing was at the time occupied by the wife and son of Mr. Thompson, one of the con tractors for the new railway works. They were both buried in the ruins of the house, and when rescued were conveyed to the In firmary. The son's injuries were found to be of a very slight nature, but Mrs. Thomp son was suffering from a fracture of the right arm and from concussion of the brain. She is, however, expected to recover. At Wakefield several persons were drowned. In the Wigan district scores of acres were submerged, and along the banks of the river for miles, and more parti cularly in the precincts of the town , mills, factories, shops, foundries and other' build irgs, including dwellings, were flooded, and although the damage has not been con siderable, the alarm created is great. It was found prudent to call out the colliers in one of the chief pits of the Ince-hall Coal and Cannel Company, to guard against any irruption of water into the workings. Nine teen years ago this mouth aJrire catastrophe was caused by the breaking in of the river', to some of these workings. HIBES:ILA.

MusiC.—Some progress is mak ing in the improvement of church music in this city, as was seen by the singing of at least two of our choirs yesterday% At Arch Street Presbyterian Church the trio from Belisario was beautifully sung by members of the choir; while; after. the sermon the grand,. .anthem. "The-Lord is Great," by Righini, was given splendidly by , the combined choirs ofthe Arch Street and St. Stephens Church, led , by Mr. Taylor. At the Clinton Street Church a double quartette composed,of the fine choir belonging thereto, augmented by four superior voices; gave as an opening piece a "Jubilate" by Lloyd, and after the sermon hn arrangement to sacred words of the . grand chorus which terminates the third act of Ernani. Both pieces, especially The opening bass solo, in the latter, were sung with telling effect. INCITING TO 140 T.—Last evening, shortly after eight o'cloak, a wagon containing four men was driven down Main street, Frank ford. The parties were engaged in singing. On reaching Unity street some one standing •on the corner made some opprobrious re marks._ which excited .the ire of one of the occupants, named Jesse Williams, who jumped, out of the vehicle and created, for a short time, quite an excitement, by making use of threatening language. Just as he was getting the crowd in fighting trim he was captured by Officer McClintock, of the. Fifteenth District; He had a hearing before Aid. Holme this morning, and was held in $5OO bail upon the charge of inciting to riot, INTERESTING Lsorunus—The opening lee ture of the course before the Social, Civil and Statistical Association of the Colored People of Pennsylvania, takes place this evening at the National Hall.

He was held in default of $l,OOO bail to answer at, Court by Aid; Massey. CITY BILLIMTEI. CunscENrvinnn AN 171thAti.--; The banally quiet village of . Crescentville, vulgarly. called 'Grubtown, in the Twen ty-second 'Ward, was the Scene of a great ,excitement on Tuesday, night last, owing to the, refusal of a colored;boy named John Taylor, to dance.
