At bat on the Seth of Anoint. 1864, the Cretans raged

fiercely maintained. The Cretans have gained .
strength and persistence. The Turkish armies have
wasted away. The war is by no means over—it
has just - been mom vigorously than ever re

ammunition. They can do the fighting. They only
ask us to save from actual starvation their women and

refuge on the atoms of Greece. The TurkLM mode of

LIMA, Nov. 14, 1867.—The revolution is be
coming formidable all over the Republic, and
will won reach the culminating point. On the
30th inst. Prado's forces arrived In front of Are
quipa, and his advanced guards skirmished with
the rebels, and were routed. He had sixteen
men taken prisoners. Recently the insurgents
were encouraged to continue their strug
gle by the earnest manner in which
the principal provinces of the South,
and the entire North, ' with one or two
two exceptions, declared in favor of their move
ment So far , has the revolutionary spirit ex
tended that Prado's ranks have been decimated by
desertion. Last Friday night the garrison In the
Castle 01 Callao endeavored to create a revolt,
with the intention of assassinating their officert
and then uniting with the revolutionists, and
their attempt was barely frustrated by ,
the commanding officer. But these local
plots, which belong to every revolution,
excite very little interest here except in military
circles. The people express themselves to be
discontented with these revolutions and counter
revolutions,by which they suffer so much. It is
reported from the interior of Peru that President
Mclgaejo, of Bolivia, is marching with 6,000
soldiers to assist Col. Prado in the expected
attack upon Arequipa, but this- is not cre
dited, as he is believed • Jo be too
intelligent himself to engage in such a compli
cated affair as this revolution is. By the arrival
of a special commission from the Chilean Govern
ment at Islay, on the way to Prado's camp,
there is some hope of his consenting to a peace
able arrangement of the question of Arequipa.
Events, however, will soon' show what course
Acting-President General La Puerta and his
government will take to stem the revolutionary
current.
PANJOIA, Nov. 23,1867.—The sympathy and
enthusiasm for Mosquera increases with his trial.
His guarded demeanor, and the eloquent appeals
by counsel in his tehalf,have made the public re
gard him as a sortof martyr pdsoner. Mosquera,
his defence, recited a long patriotic record of
faithful and efficient services rendered by his
country, both in the cabinet and on the battle
field, and he then argued that
~- he
was being unlawfully tried by the
Senate, because many of its members had par
thipated it the movement of the 23d of Hay,
which upset his dictatorial government. , Should
the Senate find the Grand General guilty; it is
not impossible that he may be released by
political influences; or if that falls, by miolence.
President Acosta, who is , opposed to ?troupers,
has been forwarding troops into the State of
Bolivar, for the purpose of destroying the
Government of President Amador Fierro,
and substituting one more milted
to the views of the Bogota Cabinet In its place.
Mosquert's friends Cite these acts to prove that
Acosta has violated the Constitution. And they
further state .that the imprisoneriGeneral has
been threatened with assassination by Acosta's
adherents, should he be set at liberty. All these
pleccadilloca are said to be manufactured with
the intention of helping Mosquera's co - brae - and
inciting the public against the Government
officers.
ASpnIWALL. Nov. 23, 1867.—The Spanish
mail-steamer Montezuma has arrived from Car
thagena with later intelligence from Bogota,' the
most important part being the conviction and
sentence of General Mosquera. After he was
found guilty he was sentenced to the loss of all
pay and emoluments which had accrued
to him during his Presidential term. His sen
tence banishes him from the United States of
Colombia for the period of four years. It was
first intended to imprison him. but banishment
was finally considered best. It is con iectured
that hi will go to Europe to remain a short time,
and that he will ultimately reside in Peru.
Vat.rsitArso, Nov. 8, 1867.—There is an un
certainer which Is rapidly spreading in regard to
what mine the government will pursue in the
Spanish question. The truce is at any moment
liable to he ended, au./ the people are anxious
to know for what the gv - vernment is prepared—
peace or war.
A contract has been Blamed between the govern
ment and the Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany, for the establishment of a new line of,
steamers through the Straits of Magellan.
A Card.
To the Bator qf the Rrening Bulletin: I have noticed
in your paper for some time past rather severe strictures
upon the intelligence of the jurymen in the cue of Burch-
ail vs. The Union Railroad, and Contractors, tried before
Judge Shorewood, in the District Court.. In your edition
of Yesterday. I find a repetition of these strictures. At
the instance of several of the jury I beg to say that I

action was by the father to recover damages for
the death of his son, caused by being crushed between a
car. (on which he was a passenger) and
a
brick pile cm
the roadway. The suit was against the Company. and
also the contractors who placed the brick pile upon the
street.
In the trial I, an counsel for the contractor". asked the
Court in writing to charge the jury that there could not
be a general recovery against the defendants, that the
verdict must be against the company alone, or the con
tractors alone, and in the latter case that they should be
satisfied; that the injury resulted solely from the negli
gence of the contractors, wii trout the slightest contribu.
tine negligence on the part of the company. '
The learned Judge, folio= very recent decision of
our Supreme Court (10 Wri h and the long settled
rule on the subject in the It Courts, gave binding
instructions to the jury as reqnested. via.: That where
the passengeris injured by the negligence of his carrier
and another, Ids remedy is against the carder only. They
were further instructed, as requested, that it was evi
dence of negligence in the Company to permit a boy to
stand on the platform while there was room In the car.
The jury found a verdict for $660 against the Company
and acquitted the contractors. The amount was promptly
paid by the Company under the instructions of their
eminent comma. Mr. Olmstead. I respectfully submit
that the jury (a very intelligent one) could, not well do
otherwise than they did, bound as they were by their
oaths to take the law from the Court, a rule of law
founded upon right reason.
Respectfully, PIERCE ARCHER. JR.

unanimously commuted the sentence of
Jacob Van Arsdale, recently convicted in Somerset
county of murder, and now under sentence of
death, to imprisonment for life. The Jur.y.
the Court and the Attorney. General, who
conducted the prosecution 11l joined in the petition for
the commutation on the ground that there was a reason
able doubt of the sanity and of course of, the reopen:if
bilit3, of the condemned person. The bar of Somerset
and a large number of, the most intelligent citi
zens of the county also joined in the • pea.
tion. Remonstrances reapectfully signed were
also presented against the commutation, but
the Court of Pardons, after a full and careful examine.
tion of the case, decided that it was one properly brought
before them. and that the petition of the Court, the Jury,
and the Counsel of the State ought not to be denied.
They felt that his imprisonment for life would satisfy the
demands of Justice in view of the doubt thrown upon his
sanity and reeponaibility.

PHILADELPHIA, TEMDAY, DECEMBER 3,1.867.
TINE VENTED STATES NAVY.
Annual Report of the secretary of the
Navy.
The Report of Secretary Welles Is long, and a
great part of it is devoted to accounts of various
squadrons ; the European under Admiral Far
ragut ; the Asiatic under Rear-Admiral Bell
the North Atlantic under Rear-Admiral Palmer';
the South Atlantic under Rear-Admiral Godon,
and afterwards under Rear-Admiral Davis; the
North Pacific under Rear-Admiral Thatcher, and
the South Pacific under Rear-Admiral Dahlgren.
The Important movements of all these have been
published from time to time, and. it is unneces
sary to report them here in the Secretary's lan
guage. The condition of the Navy at the pres
ent time is thus stated :
During the year the aggregate naval force has been re
duced forty vessels and four hundred and eighty-two gum.
The number of vessels in commission has been reduced
twelve, and the number on squadron service is thirteen
lea than at the date of my last report. The followini

Eleven thousand nine hundred men• have been em
ployed in the naval and coast survey service during the
year.
The report goes on to describe. the " special
service" of. the Susquehanna on the Campbell-
Sherman minion to Mexico : • the Sacramento to
Africa and India, with her subsequent loss in the
Bay of Bengal; the cruise of the Minnesota with
the graduating 'class of the Academy:. the voyage
of the iron-clad Miantonomah to Europe and
back, and that of the Monadnock to San Fran
cisco.
Fear new vowels have been launched during the year:
the lidoeholu. of 1,448 tons, atNew-York, on the W.,1 of De
cember; the Minnetonka , 34% tons, at Kitten , . on the 3d
of July; the Pushreataha. 1,448 tons, at Philadelphia on
the 17th of July; and the Nantaaket. 623 tons, at Charles.
town, on the 15th of August.
The construction of these vessels was well advanced
before the close of the war, but their heal completion has
not been pressed, and work has been done upon them
only when it could be most economical/ accomPllshed.
The machinery for these vessels is now being placed on
Sara, and they will be ready for service in the course of
the ensuing year. The Guerriere, a vessel similar to the
Minnetonka, is tho llagchip of the South Atlantic squad
ron, and her performance under steam and sail. and with
both combined, has been well spoken of. The Piscataqua,'
of the same class. is under orders, pnd will sail in a few
days as the flagship of the Asiatic squadron.
he steam machinery le completed for seven more ves
sels of this clews, hut it is not thetntention of the depart.
ment to commence their construction at present. A
smaller vessel Is found to be more serviceable and conve
nient for general primaes, and the building of four a tri
fle larger than the Nantasket has been commented: the
Algoma, at Kittery the Alaska. at Charlestown; the
Kenosha, at New Y ork; and the Omaha, at Philadelphia,
These vessels will be completed in the fall and winkr of
the caning year. They are necessary to replace vessels
of the permanent navy which have been lost or were so
muclidareaged during the war that their further repair
Is inexpedient. The maelsinery for these vessels is al
reedycompleted.
There are several vessels on the stocks at the different
yards, upon which work has been wholly suspended, and
in all of whkh some portion of the machinery has been
placed. At the Kittery yard is the TlLtnols, of 2490 tone,
and the Iron-clad Passaantaway. of 2.127 tom. At the
Charlestown yard the Pompancoenc, of 2889 tons, and
the ironclad Qtrinsigamond. of 2.127 tons; also the ship •
of-the-line Virginia, the keel of which was laid in 1810,
and which, when launched, ran only be used as a re
ceiving-ship. At the New Alerritd the Ontario, of
2,490 tons. and the ironclad Kalamazoo, of 1.117
tone. At the Philadelphia yard the ironclad
Elackamazon. of 2,127 tons. Besides these
vessel' upon which no work is being done, there is at the
New York. yard the Java; at the Philadelphia yard the
Antietam, and at the Charlestown .yard the . Kewaydin,
each of 1,420 tons, which are not under permanent cover,
and upon w hich a small amount of work is being done to
rut them into condition to be at least partially protected
from deterioration by the weather, as it may be many
years before they will be launched. The Neshamby and
Ammonoosuc, of 2,019 tons. are receiving their machinery
at the wharves of the contractors in New York.
The appropriation for all of these vessels. was made
prior to the close of the war, and the construction of all
but the four small vessels whose bads have recent!y been
laid was commenced months before hostilities termi.
mated.
On the subject of aceepting League Is
land, the Secretary quotes the deettiion of
the Board approving it, which we have al
already published. He goes on to say:
The Board also designated a quantity of land on the
opposite shore from League Island,which, in his opin
ion was necessary to enable the covernment to have
the exclusive use of the back channel and both shores
thereof. A copy of this .report was communicated to
the Mayor of Philadelphia. and he was notified that
the department was ready to accept , the title to the
property whenever it was perfected and offered for
that pu After consultation, the authorities of
Philadelphia
decided toast a modification of the line,
as It was their intention to lay out an avenue one
hundred and twenty feet wide, running the entire
length of the Island. Chief Engineer King was di
rected to co-operate with the City Engineer and Sur
veyor, and' a line, satisfactory to themselves. was
agreed upon; this was submitted to the Board, of
which Rear-Admiral Mehl was Chairman, who
recommended the acceptance of the modification pro
paced. The Board say, in their report, that had they
been acquainted with the plan of the city improve -
menta, they , would have chosen the same or similar
lines, and that the interposition of Delaware avenue,
which is one hundred and twenty feet broad between
the northern wall bounding the property of the Uni
te!" States and the buildings of the city, furnishes that
security against nuisances and against accidents by

Altogether, the President's message is an extraordinary
document—a strange compound of statesmanship and
passion. From his views on reconstruction so full of
anger and:prejudice, we turn to his views on tinance_,
which are patriotic and wise. There to one subject Which
the President never approaches without snaking us pity
him for his own sake. - He should knew that receastruction
is settled, that the destiny .of the negro is beyond his
control, and that he might as well attempt to bring the
eheetlees dead out of their bloody sod honorable graves
as to persist in his efforts to change it. Reconstruction
has passed into history, and the President might as well
admit the fact. The other parts of the useseagi) should
receive patient 'consideration. us they contain ninch that
the nation will generally,approve.
. .
The Work? thinks that the message, "though not equal
in condensed strength of writing and closeness of logic
to Some of President Johnson'e former messages, particu
larly the incomparable veto of the feet Reconetruction
act, is inferior to none of them in the higher qualities
of masculine intrepidity and political courage. With
an impeachment suspended over hint, as it were
by a single thread, he remonstrates iu a most
unquailing and dauntless spirit against all the
favorite measures of Congress, whose sheardity he
exams, whose mischieenent consequences he depicts,
whose repugnance td the Constitution ho demonstrates,
in se firm a tone as if the path of duty were beset with'
no dangers." The World thinks, too, that when the Pre
sident drops the Constitution, "and gives his views of the
unfitness of the negroes for the elective IraLichlee, ho does
not tread ill so trite a path; and his arguments, if not
more conclusive, have more freshness." Upon the sub
ject of the contest between Congress and the President,
the World with great fret knees says •
"The next topic on which the President touches is ono
of much delicacy; but the juncture called for boldness
and he has nobly honored the draft. He tells Congress,
in language signilcant enough to be easily understood,
that if it undertakes to annihilate the executive depart
ment of the government, he shall resist its encroach
ments by force. Be sincerely deprecated civil war; he
thinks it should be the last resort for the
redress of intolerable and otherwise incurable
evils; he has executed the Reconstruction laws, although
in palpable violation of the Constitution, because there
was still &remedy in the returning goodsense of Northern
voters; but, without naming the project to suspend him
during a trial of impeachment, he intimates with clear
pees enough to, be undereteod, and decision enough to
show that he is in earnest, and he shall not submit to be
deposed in that manner."
Mile. LANDER'S “ELDIABETH.”—Mrs. Lander made
her first appearance this season at the Academy of
Music last evening before a very large audience,in her
now famons character of "Elizabeth." Most of those
who were present had seen Mrs. Lander's earlier pre
sentations of this character, and they were prepared to
witness a performance more finished and artistic than
any given during what may be called her apprentice
ship in the instorical drama. It is but fair to say that
these expectations were fulfilled in the largest and
most satisfactory sense.
• When Mrs. Lander first appeared in Elizabeth at the
Walnut Street Thestre this journal was the first to re
cognize in her personation the traces of that rare
quality called genius; and we gave her our cordial ap
probation, not because her performance did not con
tain any crudities, and was wholly free from defects,
but because the representation was, upon the whole,
excellent—very mach superior, indeed, to anything . in
that peculiar line attempted upon the modern English
stage; and, also, because the bold and successful at
tempt of an American lady in such a novel rills de
served the heartiest encouragement and support of all
admirers of the pure and legitimate drama.
The performance at the Academy last evening
proves that Mrs, Lander, with the enthusiasm of a
true artist,'has not been content to rest supinely upon
her first laurels, but, by careful and earnest study,'has
aimed to reaalittutt perfection, short of which her
personation would eventually have been a virtual fail
ure. Those who were familiar with Mrs. Lander's
that attempts could not have failed' to observe last
night that many of the episodes in the drama had been
gre atly improved, without being materially alterel.
The by-play throughout was natural and excellent, and.
served to relieve the stiffness of the performance, jr/St
DS a bit. of ribbon gives effectiveness to drapery. .
In

The special quality of the conception Is its entire

pusses the other. The two in which Mre. Lander is
most effective are, first, the tine passage in the third
act, where ebe encounters the wrath of the infuriate
"Essex ;" and, anon*, that stupendous death scene
at the close of the play. In, this latter, Mrs. Lander
repreeents the effects of remorse. the terror, the dismay
at the epectres which Sit before Elkilibeth's vision, the
ehrinking dread of rhe ehadows of death which are be
ginning to encircle her, with even more terrible em

beyond 'neutron the finest in the play, and would. be
well worth a patient waiting to the close of even a

FRANCE.
Tie Presto. en the Queen's Speech.
The Queen of England's speech on. opening the paella- '
went is considered by the Varier journals • as magnificent
in every point but two—the, expedition to Abyssinia and
the Roman question. The first the Paris papers pass by
generally without notice, as not belonging to their coni
peteuce; but on the second they remark rather freely and
not by any means in favorable terms.
La France, a semi.official - paper which generally sym
pathizes withehe Clerical.party, says :
%t his language from across the Ctiannehhowever studied

very well to the Austrian regime in the Lombardo-Vene

Bides ut the councils of Queen Victoria declared pub. -
liely in the House that those provinces were adminie

wee the fear that France « in cusp of a war, should a-sienna,
an,,exclusfve preponderance in Europe. Hut the day
when the conflict arose, and when the Amitrith dominos

England played her game; see strove to takes away from
France, by an attitude in appearauce mom favorable to

The follewing passages from the semeotlizial Standard,
are unusually severe with respect to the conduct of the
Tory Ministry :
Those who have permitte the dismemberment of the,
