Recovery or Rebel Property to Europe, The Secretary of the Treasury sent a commu nication to the House yesterday in reply to a re solution concerning the efforts of the Department for the recovery of Confederate property In Eu rope, and contracts with agents in relation there to. Also, information concerning a settlement made by the firm of Frazer, Trenholm & Co. The Secrete* , says the efforts of the Government to recover Confederate property abroad have not heed confined to Europe, but have been extended to other parts of the world, especially to the West Indies; in which the exertions have been diligently and successfully prosecuted, but as the resolution of the Rouse applied only to such efforts as were made in Europe, that only constitutes the subject of the Secre tary's communication. He says: Proceedings were commenced soon after the cessation of hos tilities in the Southern States, and the result of all these arrangements has been the actual re covery of property of the Confederates to a large amount. with much More which it is confidently believed will in due time be recovered. To end the controversy or sults In England with Frazier, TrCnholm & Co., an agreement was made with them in September, l t 7, which was approved by the parties concerned, the United States re ceiving and that firm paying precisely that which the United Stales may lawfully claim in a court of • chancery, neither more nor less, in sub stance as follows: delivering up the property of the Confederate States, unless the same be subject to legal or equitable undoubted claims of heirs. valid In laW, or contracts Made during their agency for the Confederate States. The agreement secures all to which the United States are entitled. This Government has recovered by suit in admiralty four of the cruisers of the Con federate government, namely, the Sampler, Tal lahassee, Shenandoah, and the Rappahannock, together with some other miscellaneous parcels, and property amounting iu proceeds to $160,476. In these cases the Government has steadily contended that it has Ve right' in law to take possession of any public property of the Confederates wherever found, whether at home ar in foreign countries, claiming the power to do this summarily, and as of right and of, course, in the United States or on the high seas, demanding of the foreign courts of law that they shall co operate In enabling the United States to reclaim the property by suit if brought into the ports of any such foreign governments. Suits are pending in England against sundry parties, among which are the Blakely Ordnance Company to recover ordnance contracted for by the Confederates, as also, against two of the financial agents of the Confederates—namely Jas. B. Ferguson and Colin Mcßae. The archives of the so-called Conlede crate government, now in possession of the United States, show that many millions were re ceived and disbursed by Cohn Mcßae on Con federate loans in Europa, and the object of the suit is to reach any balance which may have re mained in his hands at the time of the extinction of the Confederacy. There is only one suit in France; but this is of considerable importance as to the principle to be decided. It is against the wealthy ship-building firm of Arman, Son & Co., to recover a large amount placed in their hands to be employed In the construction of a ship or ships of war for the use of the Confederates. The ease has not yet come to an issue. The receipts of United States Treasurer Spinner on account of Confederate property recovered hi Europe show the following results : Proceeds from the sale of steamer Shenandoah Proceeds from the sale of the steam ers Sumpter and Tallahasse Recovered froin R. P. Waller, Con federate agent The disbursements on account of the ktbowo were $110,308 7 for counsel fees, special agent, The Hon. Caleb Cushing received a fee of $5,000. The Secretary of the Treasury says much exaggeration existed as to the balances re maining in the hauds of Confederates abroad. The kentan Trials in England. Lormos. April 21.—The trial of the Fenian prisoners charged with causing the Clerkonwell explosion was resumed to-day. Mullany, the informer, was cross.extanined, and testified that he had acted as a Fenian Centre. He boarded with Murphy, and met at his house W. Desmond, one pf theiprisoners at the bar. The meetings of the tonspiratOrs were held at Murphy's house, on Dees 2 and 19, at which he was present. He was asked on these occasions by English and the two Destrionds to go to the explosion. The Judge, In terrupting-- Was the word explosion used? The witness replied—l don't know. ' Judge—You calla answer yes or no.

Vaughn, the other ink:inner. was then called by , the Crown, and was examined by the Solicitor-General, and testified that he Joined the Fenian organization in 1865; He, was sworn into the order by T. Desmond, one of the prisoners on trial. lie saw the same Desmond about noon on the' dap. of the explosion, when Desmond informed him of the plot for the release of Burke. The witness swore j)ositively that the priSonersDarrett, Eng lish and the two Desmonds were engaged in the conspiracy: On cross-examination the witness said he was a tailor; he had in been the army, but would not say he was a deserter. Ho ac knowledged that he was :given to drink, and might have been out of his mind at times. He contradicted his direct testimony by stating that he bad never been sworn into the Fenian order. Ile stated that his support had been provided for by the police authorities since Ids offer to give testimony, and that he expected to get the reward offered for revealing the conspiracy. A clerk and carman in the employ of Messrs. Dealois, powder dealers, were severally sworn, and tee tified to the sale and delivery of powder to the conspirators. The Court then adjourned until Monday next. 14. Mrs• E. Joy Morris. We translate the following from La Targaie of the 26th of March: The funeral ceremonies of Mrs. E.

UITY BULLETIN. BOARD OF TRADE.—The stated monthly meet ing for April was . held on Monday evening, 20di instant, President Welsh in the chair. Mr. Stokes for the Committee to whom had been referred communications complaining of excessive rates of freight on petroleum from the producing regions, made a report, stating "that the subject was brought by them to the notice of the officers of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, who stated that the subject was now under con sideration, and that such reductions on the freight of this article should be made as would be entirely satisfactory to the parties in interest, and accomplish the object desired by them." The committee appointed to invite the Boston Board of trade to make Philadelphia the place of meeting of the National Board of Trade state that they bad performed that duty; that the invitation had been accepted, and the third day of June next fixed upon as the time of assembling.

MANUFACTURERS' MEE:TING.—The annual meet ing of the Association of Cotton and Woolen Manutacturers of Philadelphia was held yester day afternoon, at the Board of Trade room. Mr. Richard Garsed made some remarks upon the important action of Congress in removing the dye per cent. tax froth the manufactured goods, a movement which would greatly assist manufac, turers to employ their full complement of hand, and run their mills on full time. He also referred to the necessity of adopting some plan by which the present ruinous system of tare on cotton could be remedied, and during his remarks a paper was submitted, showing that the tare on ten bales of cotton, occasioned by hoops, rope. amounted to nearly five per cent. of the whole weight, while in many cases it exceeded 7 per cent. Nu allowance is made to American manufacturers for this tare, while in all Euro pean cities an allowance of about five per :cent. was made. After remarks by Messrs. Wm. Devine, Arad bald Campbell, S.

A London street Singer. some years ago a mysterious paragraph went the round of the press to the effect that a young and beautiful woman made her ap pearance every night al ten o'clock, in one of the west end sqUares, and that after a superb vocal display she disappeared, no one knew how. or Where, exactly as the clock [truck eleven. The Sunday Times professed to give special and exclusive particulars of this anonymoui nightingale, as site was termed, and even went so far as to hint broadly that she was a celebrated vocalist married to a penniless lord, who took this novel mode of enlarging an insufficient income. • Of course this piede of family history proved to be an invention. I had the good fortune to hear her 0110 in Berkley Square. Seeing a large crowd waiting in an expec tant attitude just where a fashionable hotel is located, I inquired the cause, and was told that the mysterious vocalist, the nightingale was about to show herself. As the clock struck ten, a lady dressed in deep mourning, and having the upper part of her face con cealed by a thick veil, glided forward and took her place in the centre of a space pur posely kept clear for her. I decided, from noticing the beautiful formation of the mouth and chin, and finely rounded fair throat, that she must be both young and more than com monly attractive. She was accompanied by a little boy, also in deep mourning, who car ried an open reticule. Without delay, the nightingale commenced a ballad, and sang with such surpassing taste and feeling as to hold the miscellaneous crowd in mute and rapt attention. The song was followed by several favorite scenes from popular operas, all exhibiting the talent and culture of an accomplished artist. A collec tion was made; 'few gave coppers—all who could afford it gave silver. The little boy sent in his bag to the hotel, the balcony of which was crowded with visitors, and it was returned apparently heavy with precious coin. The sum total must have been con siderable, and this I was informed was the usual reward of the hour's. work. When 11 struck, the unknown stopped her song, made a slight courtesy, threaded her way quickly through the crowd. Her real history, I afterward learned, was a pitiful one. She was the daughter of a celebrated teacher of music, and had been educated for the stage; she married, against the wishes of her parents, a clerk•-in• a post office, who, being detected in the then un pardonable sin of uttering a forged hank note, was tried, convicted and hanged. With three little helpless infants and no means of earning a sufficient income, the bereaved young wife adopted the plan of making her fine voice and scientific attainments furnish the means of subsistence. The close of this story is more hopeful. Her beauty, mis fortunes and accomplishments attracted the attention of a clergyman in one of the eastern counties. Ile married her, and she disap peared from public view.—Once d Week. A Visit CO at ••ougar-Bahl." The Buffalo Courier of the Kth describes a recent excursion to the "sugar-bush"in Chau tauque county. Such of our readers as were not fortunate enough to have been born in the county may not have seen a sugar-camp, and we will sketch it in outline for their benefit. As near the centre of the maple-orchard as may be, a level plot of ground is selected, and two stone walls about six feet long, four feet apart, and two feet high are rudely con structed. Upon the top of these is placed the cast-iron pan for boiling down the sap, which is conducted to it by a spout connect ing with the reservoir. In this instance the reservoir was improvised' of a bass-wood log of such dimensions that the trough has a ca pacity of several barrels. To the trough the sap is brought in pails, the gatherer bringing into requisition the old-fashioned neck-yoke. Beneath the pan a constant fire is burning, and the sap is evaporated until it arrives' at the consistency of syrup, when it is removed to a rive-pail kettle for the final sugaring-off. Friday had been a good sap day, and the syrup was waiting the arrival of our party. 'rho, fire was soon kindled under the kettle and orders given to prepare for action. Every man equipped himself' with a wooden shovel (small size) and a cake of snow (large size) and awaited developments. "There is a tide in the affairs of"sugar when it will wax, if placed in snow, and for the flow of this tide we waited in sweet expectation. There were several false alarms about the sugar, and eager individuals ascertained that hot syrup is neither pleasant to the touch, nor congenial to the taste. At length the cry "she waxetb, she doth" was heard and every Man deported for duty, beside his cake of snow. Ladles full of boiling liquid poured upon the snow were transformed into films of waxen consistency, and swallowed with out a murmur. Sugar, in this form, was eaten by the spoon-full, the shovel-full, the mouth full, by the foot and by the yard—linked sweetness, long drawn out. Then followed the eating of grained sugar—the granulation being brought about by the vigorous agita tion of the hot sugar in a tin cup with the aforesaid wooden spades. In this condition, it ; was turned into egg-shells to be carried home as ocular demonstration that a sugar camp had honestly been experienced. Time and space forbids us to narrate all the incidents of the day; but we must not forget to mention that after the sugaring -off, an ad journment was had to the cabin and a meet ing organized at which speeches were made and resolutions adopted. Rattlesnake Pelson. There is some of this fluid in a phial'on the table before me, and here some of it dried for three years--a scaly, yellow, shining matter like , dried white of an egg, and as good to kill as ever it was. No smell, if fresh; no taste; faintly acid, and chemically a substance which is so very nearly like this very Mae or egg, that no chbmical difference mkt, made between them. Two things salidi and so unlike! Indeed, it seems hardly fair , of nature to set us seek prohleneis. We 'fall hack upon. an imagined difference in the molecular ,an' - of the two—'-very cobsoling, no doubt: hilt; after all, the thing is bewildering, explain it as we may. We would.. like not to be lieve it. We think of poisons as unlike what they hurt. Let us take from a does:veins a little blood, keep it a few hours in the open air, and throw it back ink; his, cirCulation, and very surely you have given him his death: Ugly facts of diselise where the body gets.up its own poisons for home use make the won der less to the doctor; but even now to him it must still seem wonderful, ~ this little bit of white of egg to. nourish, and this, to no human test, differing in composition, good for destroying alone. Rattlesnake poison is not fatal to all, life. You cannot kill a crotalus, with its • own venom, nor with that of another. Neither can you poison a plant with venom. And, in fact, if you manage the experiment cleverly, canary seed may be made to sprout from a mixture of venom and water. , —Atlaneic Napoleon's Now Gun. The Nourellie dc Rouen thus describes the Mitrailleuse, a new instrument of war, partly invented by the Emperor Napoleon : "Imagine a coffee mill half a yard in height, with an opening at the top hslf a yard in diameter. Into this the cartouches are shovel ed, and by means of a wheel turned by a handle, the soldier who works the instrument lets a single cartouche fall into each of the eight barrels of the ‘mitrailleuse.' These bar rels are about a yard in length. As the trigger falls on the cap it closes the barrels, the shots are fired, and the wheel in turning reopens the barrels, recocks the trigger, and, lets other cartouches assume the places of those dis charged. This ins+sument. worked by a sin gle soldier, discharges from fifty to fifty-five shots a minute, and is effective at one thou sand seven hundred yards." VAILPETINGS. &C. 1222 CHESTNUT STREET. 1222.
