The New Minister to Washington 11/e following letter, the origin of which is ex plained, appeared in the Daily News of the 4th of :fareary : Sin :The Times has renewed its attack on the appointment of Mr. Thornton as Minister at Washington. and recommends the substitution of a parliamentary lord, mentioning several of emi nence. Mr. Thornton has been appointed as the ablest man in the, diplomatic service at Lord Stanley's disposal, and the question thus raised by the Times is the important one, whether diplomacy ought to be governed by the ordinary rules of promotion subject to fitness, or whether it ought to be ripen to parlia. inentary ambition. Before this question is de cided adversely to Mr. Thornton's 'MIAMI to Washington, let us recollect that diplomacy as a service so governed has given us Lord Stratford de Redelific at Constantinople, Sir H. Hamilton at St. Petersburg; Sir James Hudson at Florence and Turin, Lord Cowley at Paris, Sir Henry Bulwer and Lord Lyons at Washington, and Lord Clareudon himself at Madrid. Contrast these men at those posts wills what Parliamentary uppointmen ts have done in Lord Nortuanby at Paris and Florence, in Lord Ashburton and his "capitulation" at Washington, in Mr. Shiel in Italy. The balance, I submit, is largely in favor of adhering to diplomacy as a service, and against reviving parliamentary appointments to diplomatic positions. But we don't. know, it is Shit], Mr, Thornton. Of course, a man coin- Felled to pass his life in the service of the State in distant countries can't be as well known as a wan who occupies a prominent position in party and parliamentary life at home. But when we see a map, without influ ence and unconnected with great families, steadily promoted in his profession by a suceess sion of Foreign Ministers, as opportunities arise; when we FCC that mau esteemed and appreciated =in-the countries-in which:he has: resided, both-by- natives and English; when we see that his repti bitten has traveled before him to the country to which be is now accredited, we may be tolerably certain that ho owes his promotion in Ids pro fession to his own merits and capacity, and that he is a competent man. The Abyssinian Expedition. The following despatches have reached Eng land from Bombay by way of Trieste. They are dated the 14th of December. and have been to some extent anticipated. The Second Brigade of the field force leaves Bombay immediately, under Brigadier Welby. The Third Brigade, consisting of Her Majesty's 45th and the Second Native Infantry Regiments, follows in the course of the week. A transport is now under orders to sail for lingerie, to embark 518 Native Infantry constituting part of the Fifth Brigade. The preparations for the de parture of the lid and 4th Brigades from Bengal are being rapidly pushed forward. Twenty elephants were embarked on the ith inst. for Abyssinia, and an equal number will soon follow. The latest news received here concerning the Abyssinian Expedition is of a very cheering cha racter._ The difficulties in the way of an advance were gradually disappearing, and it had been de eided,that the expeditionary force should enter Abyssinia by the Sooros Pass to Senate. Not withstanding the number of mules sent from Arabia, Persia, the Mediterranean and else- Where, there were not available more than one third of the number actually required. It is be lieved that efforts will consequently be made to find them iu Abyssinia itself. Notwithstanding the efficiency of the Sappers, it is doubtful whether any wheeled • carriages can be taken up the torrent beds,, which are the only highways into Abyssinia. The resolution voluntarily winding up the Bank of Bombay has been adopted, and the new bank was regis tered on the 10th inst. All the shares have been allotted. _ • - - Another despatch, dated Decenther 20th, says: The head of the Second Illigade is expected to arrive here to-morrow. The &Ind° Horse and the Bengal Brigade will arrive between the end. of December and the middle of January. Trans ports with the postal' and telegraph staff, the commieearlat, the ordnance,and other stores, arc p as sing daily on the way to Abyssinia. Her Majesty's ship Star is engaged in lighting and buoying the Abyssinian coast: The ,survey is approaching completion. The steamer &lade, from Massowah, arrived at Aden on the 18th of December. The report that the ggyptian authori ties there had received a letter announcing that the captives' chains had been tahea off, and that there was every chance'of their speedy release, ii considered probable here.

The mor tality among the horses continued. The Third Cavalry Regiment had lost upward of 150 horses. The weather was very cold. The advanced bri gade was to remain at Senafe until the arrival of Sir Robert Napier. It is reported that the chief of Shoa had surrounded Magdala. br. Livingston. According to intelligence received in London from Zanzibar by way of Trieste to the Lit of October,, an Arabian merchant reported having ecen Dr. Livingstone westward of Lake Tajany , ika. FRANCE. Reported Discovery elf Important Fen ian Cerrehpondence in Paris. (Correspondence (January 1) of Le Nord.) have informed you of the complaints made by the English Cabinet to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs respecting the invasion of the Fenlaus. The presentiments of the English have been justified by events. It appears to be proved that the Fenian organization hasits accomplices In France, and that its name is not that of p a sect, but of a legion. Searches are said to have been wade, with much prudence and without arrests, by order of the Prefect of the Police, in a certain quarter of the Faubourg du Temple, which have led to the seizure of wrreepondence of the most interesting description between the English Fenians and the • revolutionists 'of Paris. Amongst it were discovered, it is said, plans of freeh outrages to be carried out in England, the destruction of the fleet, and the names of the most important correspondents of the Fenian movement in London. The discovery, which in Lo way menaced the French, has, I repeat, been kept quite secret, but the precious documents have been forwarded by the police of Paris as a New Year's gift to the government of Great Britain. RUSSIA• Prince GortschnhoWs lieported Resig nation. The Berlin correspondent of the London Shir, noting on January 1, says: It is reported from Petersburg that Prince Gortschakolf has • tendered hie resignation, and that it has been accepted. but that in all probability he will retract it. The occasion of the step was 'the Minister's intention to marry the divorced wife of his own nephew, a project which met with the cost lively disapprobation on the part of the Rus shun aristocracy. The Czar took the matter up and comManded the Grand Dukes to pay their Epeets to the future Princess. After this, of mune, the uppe - rtaithousand had no choice but to follow suit and pay their respects also. St. Petersburg has lately been the scene of a horrible tragedy, which does not tell very favora hly- for the state of female education in that city. The patroness of a hoarding school for young ladies btu] expressed her disapprobation of their coiffure, which she considered as too coquettish. 'l he lady who had the superintendence of the ClLlFd.w , as so much affected by this censure, that t-lie ordered - all the young ladies' ham to be cropped quite short. This was regarded as great a indignity, and as soon as it was dark the young ladies attacked the supposed offender, threw a sheet over her head, knocked her down nd maltreated her so seriously that she died in a few hours. It turned out afterwards that these paragons of feminine propriety had made e mistake in the dark, and vented their fury on lie wrong person. The unhappy victim . was what we should call in England a parlor boarder. who on the evening in question bad undertaken to discharge the duties of the usual class teacher. ITALY. Letter from Garibaldi. Gen. Garibaldi, writing from Caprera on the :24th of December, to the treasuter of the Bir mingham fund for aiding the Italian volunteera, EaVP: 1 •I read in your journals that your Roman Catholic fellow,citizens claim the fullest equality of civil and religious liberty with you; but ?hat is 'the freedom which they grant to you iu States in which they e xe the moat numerous raid powerful? This question may be an swered by one glance at the present condition of the Boman dominions. There is no political or rcligious.freedom whatever for those out of the pale of the Papal Church. All translations of the English version of the Bible are strictly for bidden. English newspapers are also inter dicted if addressed to the Italians." Alter referring to the suppression of the Scotch Presbyterian service in Rome, Garibaldi con tinues: "The Church of Rome declares that she is in fallible, eternal, unchangeable, and in allocation ut the present Pope to the Cardinals, in Septem ber, 1851, be states that the Catholic religion, kith all its rights, ought to be exclusively domi nant in such sort that every other worship Eliould be banished and interdicted. In the same allocution the Pope explains also that by ecclesiastical liberty is meant 'the ce exercise of their proper episcopal jurisdiction by the bishops." The recent ad dresses of the Bishop of Orleans and of Cardi nals Bonnechose and Donnet. asserting the pre cedence of Church over all political , institutions, arc therefore, only in accordance with the pro gramme so clearly and distinctly laid down by -the present Pepe. 'The= cause of England and that of Italy are alike menaced by the overbear ing pretensions of the Papacy." Garibaldi and the Battle of ➢lentana. Some of the survivors of the battle of Mentana having met at a fraternal banquet in Mantua on the 16th ult., the following telegram was sent to Gen. Garibaldi: "Some of the survivors of Mentana send their General an affectionate greeting. Urge on the completion of our unity. Call 'upon us; we are ready." The General sent the following : "CAPRERA, Dec. 1867.-34 Dear Kiwi: I have received from a lady the following motto : 'Victory is achieved by perseverance. I hope Italy will remember this motto next Spring. My affectionate compliments to the companions in arms of yours. G. GAnimif.ut." THE PAPAL STATES. The Pope's Receptions. The Pope on the first of January received Gen. de Fully and the principal French officers. Count de Bartiges; also admitted the French officers, ec clesiastical dignitaries, and distinguished Roman end foreign personages, among them, being. Lord Clarendon. On the same day Count Crivelli, the new Austrian Embassador, had presented his let ters of credence in a private audience. On the 31st of December the Pope wns present at a Te in the wiurch of Jesus, on the occasion of the close of tire year., Re was received with great en thusiasm on his way. Corruption at Rome. The Italic has the following: "Cardinal Patrizi has issued an edict, preceded by a letter addressed to the Cardinal by the Pope himself. His Holiness deplores the corruption of the Romans, who are guilty of three great 61118- continual blasphemy, disregard of holidays, and disrespect in the churches. In order to prevent such scandals, the Pope directs that the old - penal. laws. and . the very severe ones of Leo - . XII , Should be put in force. The Cardinal's edict "promulgates the punishment to be Inflicted on thdse who should be proved by two respectable persons to have uttered one or more blasphemies; to have orked on holidays—the masters being made re sponsible, in the litter ease, for their men; to have behaved disrespectfully in church. The las paragraph is more especially ,directed against fe males, who arc to be prevented from wearing short drerses. They are also required to appoir in church with van's; but the vail, which is to be substituted for the modern small hat, is not to be converted into a new ornament for the head, which is to be modestly covered." • OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. What the Hero of Winchester says of This and That. A correspondent of The Ohio State Jonrnal,who has recently visited Gen. Sheridan, writes as fol lows : "Our Phil" has been to see his parents, and a good many not related to the hero of Five Forks, including the writer, called to see him. The Gen eral stayed only a few days, and during that time received no "distinguished marks" of considera tion, such as public receptions, firing of guns and parades, but those other "marks," not near so noisy, the hearty greeting, the warm approval and the cordial welcome, implied in private calls and invitations to dine, the latter of which was, a one or two instances, accepted. As Sheridan sat smoking his pipe and talking of men and things about home, with a satisfaction and composure which it seemed almost sacrilege to invade with an attempt to change Into allu sions to other topics of a political nature, I Ventured to call his recollection to a printed re port of our last conversatioa,prepared by myself some months afterwards. I had the highest satisfaction of an unreserved indorsement from the General, who felt like com plimenting the faithfulness of my report, and did me the honor of expressing his full satisfaction therewith. Since then he had been called to command the Fifth District, and since then has had a splendid opportunity of testing his fidelity to the principles, and faithfulness to the party which prevailed in the late strugle for nation ality. for liberty and equality. It is because his fidelity and faithfulness were proof against the blandishments of power, and rose above all desire to bask in the sunshine of Exteutive favor, at the expense of virtue, that a greener chaplet entwines his brow than any ever placed, there by the ever-favoring hand of victory in the field of war. The law was the voice of Congress, and with birn the voice of Congress was the voice of the people, and the voice of God; rather than stifle which, he would lay down his head upon the bloody guillotine of His chief, and give room to one less mindful of the duty which he owes to humanity, to law, and to liberty. The papers report you, General, as having said that Grant was more radical than yourself; how do yon make that out? ''l said so," returned the General, "amil nrove it thus. When I first took command of the Fifth District General Grant sent me an order to allow no man to sit on a jary who could not take the iron-clad oath. I mildly re monstrated against this, and wrote to the Gene ral requesting a modification of the order, so that all who might rote, might also tit upon a jury. "This be did accordingly, and it was for this Very radieal order and its modification to snit me that I said he was more radical than myself." The oath referred to requires amen to swear that ne never bore arms against, or acknowledged allegiance to the Southern Confoderacy, or gave to the enemies of the - United States aid, comfort, or encouragement. It is, therefore, called the "Ironclad." But Sheridan found many who could not take this oath who had been forced into rebellion, and who bad been clothed with the right of suffrage, and to this class he very properly accorded a right to sit,upon the jury. _ - "Is It your opinion, General, that Grant did all he could to sustain you ?' "Undoubtedly," was his reply. "Everything"( did was under direct order from him, or under his indorsement and approval. To fall out with me, therefore, was, to fall out with Grant him self. In a few days you will read a letter from Gen. Grant protesting against my removal," (not then published), "which will demonstrate to the public what I say to you." Will Grant certainly be a candidate for Presi dent? "Not by his own choice," promptly re turned Sheridan; "but if he accepts the nomina tion I believe he will do so from motives of duty to his friends and country, in the spirit of sacri fice and patriotism, for which he is so remarka bly distinguished." ti ill the Congressional policy of reconstruc tion succeed? Another whiff at his pipe, and his answer was as ready as an old time statesman. "Of course, it must succeed. It is too late to go backward. The negro has been admitted to the ballot-box. All the power on earth cannot keep it from him now. He has not only been taught to read, but to rote also. Ile can unlearn neither the one nor the other. When he was mustered into ~the military service as a soldier, his right to vote was decreed. In assuming the highest and most solemn duty of the c itizen—the defence of his country—as a soldier, all minor privileges and duties at once attached to him. He is therefore a voter by virtue of having become a fighter, a tax-payer, a citizen." I felt that Sheridan was equal to the political, as ho had been equal to the military emergency of ,his career, never falling below, and often far surpassing public expectation. Glorious Phil. Sheridan! You are not only a soldier, but a statesman in wh_cim_thereht_no guile A NEW CARDINAL At the express solicitation of the Empress Eugenie—it Is said—the Pope has conferred a card naps hat upon M. Darboy, Archbishop of Paris. POLITICAL. AL TALK WITH GEN. SHERIDAN. The Stanton Trouble. LWashington correspondence N. Y. World.] Mr. Stanton continues to act as Secretary of War. I learn officially that be is not and will not be recognized by the President. The latter will issue no orders by Mr. Johnson's authority. The heads of the Treasury and Navy Departments transact official business with Mr. Stanton, a course in which the President does not interfere at present considering the necessary business of the govern ment. It is not proposed by Mr. Johnson to is sue at once the order reducing Mr. Stanton-to the position of a mere clerk in the War Department, which he could be made to occupy; for it is con fidently expected that the arc-Secretary w \ ill ulti mately feel compelled to resign. The haelligencer to-day calls upon Grant to come out and admit or deny the truthfulness of the statement of Mr. Johnson's understanding of Grant's promises about, the. Stanton affair, and that paper will to-morrow contain an editorial, in which it is alleged that at the Cabinet meeting to-day, the members compared notes as to what took place at their meeting on Tuesday, when Grant was.,present, and they agree that Grantadmitted the correctness of the President's statement of the agreement between himself and Mr. Johnson, viz.: that Grant was to hold on to the office, or give the President timely notice to enable him to appoint another Secre tary, ad interim. It is learned that the President has expressed. himself to-day In the most positive manner re specting the revolutionary measures now being put through Congress. If Congress so enacts as to deprive him otanv portion of his constitutional authority, the 'Executive who was as directly elected by and as directly re presents the people as Congress was and does, may be expected to resist such an en croachment with all the power at his command. His right and duty as Commander-In-Chief of the Army, of which it is proposed to deprive him in the pending Iteconstruction bill are among the chief - prerogatives which - - Mr. - Johnson - will coxsistently defend: • • • HOSPITALS.—Judgment was given recently in England in au appeal of great interest to the London. Hospitals. Lord Henry Seymour loft £60,000 to the "hospices" of Paris and London; and a question was raised whether hospitals were included, or whether the term was confined to charitable institutions excluding institutions for bodily illness. The Master of the Rolls confined the term to charitable places, and excluded ordi nary bnaPitals;' but that decision has boon re versed by the Lord Justlces, and the hospitals will partake in thelonetits of the legag. MOM NEW YOBS, NEW Yogic, Jan. 18.—Miss Minnie Warren, sister to Mrs. General Tom Thumb, is about to be led to the hymeneal altar by Commodore :Nutt. Their united wealth is about $250,000. George A. Jones entered Mr. Leopold Silver thall's jewelry store, at No. 326 Bowery, last evening, and desired to see some diamond rings. After examining the jewelry, Jones attempted to run away with the tray containing the jewelry and to enter a carriage in which he had been driven up to the door; but before he could enter it, however, Mr. Sliverthrall had seized him by the leg. Patrolman O'Brien soon reached the spot and took the thief Into custody. The prisoner, who is about 21 years of age, has for the past three years been employed by a down-town firm as a traveling agent. He is very respectably con nected, and claims that this Is his first theft. Jones confessed that ho matured the plan two or three days previous to the attempt. A gentleman from Schenectady had his pocket picked of $75, on a Sixth avenue car on Thurs- day evening. Three known thieves were on the platform, and the conductor acknowledged that he knew them, but did not deem it prudent to put the passengers on their guard lest he should get his head knocked off. T he conductors say that the railway companies have not indemnified them when they have been assaulted and laid up for exposing the thieves. lOUSICAI. THE OPERA.—A great crowd assembled last evening at the Academy to hear Ernani. It was not given, owing to an accident to Signor Pan cani. Tramlore was substituted, Mme. Kapp- Young playing "Elvira." She made a very good impression, both as a singer and an actress. Parts of her voice aro very . strong and clear; her style is energetic and forcible rather than grace ful; but, all things considered, her debut here may be considered a success. Mme. Testa was unusually fine as "Azucena " and Signor Baragli astonished every one py his admirable pet form ance as "Manrieo." His voice, usually regarded as so delicate, was amply strong for the loudest concerted pieces of the opera. His acting, also, was full of vigor and intelligence. This afternoon La Traviata is to be played, Mme. Gazzaniga, Pancani and Bellini in the principal parts. This evening; the season will close with Foust in German. Miss Hauck. Mine. Testa, Habelraann, Hermanns, and Wilhelm Formes will fill the leading riles. MR. CHARLES H.

WOLFSOIIN'S MATINEE yesterday was well attended, and the performances were highly satisfactory. Mr. Wolfsohn's rendering of the Pastoral Sonata was delightful, and the compo sition was made to appear with new attractions to many who had not before heard it under such advantages. Air. Ilabelniart was encored in the Aria from Mozart's 11 Seraglio, and sang the two Schubert Songs very acceptably, the latter of which'was a very beautiful melody. CARL SENTZ, on Thursday last, introduced to the public Mr. G. F. Benkert, a young pianist of superior attainments, who gave great-satisfaction in his solo by Wilimers, and was honored with an encore. On next Thursday a beautiful quar tette from Elijah, by Mendelssohn, will be sung by Misses Chandler and Archer, and Messrs. Gil christ and Bishop, accompanied by the pianist Mr. A:Becket. Cheap and good music, such as is given at these concerts, must have a whole some influence on society.
