'Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. Pews, Friday, April 10th, 1868.—Pions ob servances and family meetings are the order of the day. The ptitolle has fairly turned its back upon politics, and, it may almost be said, upon businees of all kinds, for a short interval,and our newspapers fill their columns with did: Lenity out of rechauji's of past events. An . American journal published in London, the International, has had the honor of coming to the rescue it this moment of dearth of all -intereatlig intelligence, and has com manded general attention by publishing a roi disant epistle of Pius IX. to. Francis-Joseph of Austria, rating the latter sovereign roundly, In mediaeval Latin, for suffering the Civil Marriage Law and the Infringement of the Concordat to be consummated within his dominionif. The letter is a curious specimen of ecclesiastical "scolding," and reads quite funny and somehow strangely out of place with the tone of everything around it in these modern times. Perhaps that ought to be a proof of its authenticity, and Certainly the composition is characteristic at once of the man and of the quarter from whence it is supposed to come. Nevertheless, I under- stand the Papal Nuncio, Monseigneur declared two days ago at a diplomatic soirée at the French Foreign Ministry, that the epistle was wholly apocryphal. "Be non e veto, e.bentrocato," as the Italians say. The first day it ap peared, the government here suppressed the International, which contained the letter. But next day the paper was allowed to txf distributed, as though the document it contained was recognized as genuine. The ultra-montane Univers also publishes the letter, in doubt, seemingly, as to its true character— though applauding its sentiments, and evidently pleased to see the spiritual authority giving a lesson to the civil power once mere, as in the "good obi times". Yet, after all, what the Pope so strongly reprobates in Austria, is only what was long ago established in France, with the full amen; of his predecessor and namesake, Pius VII. The civil marriage in France may be said, as a general rule, never to supercede the relief:me ceremony and bene diction, either in 'the Protestant or Catholic com munion. It is regarded, in fact, not so much as being the marriage, as the registration, or proof, or legal evidence of the marriage. It Is the safe guard which the state imposes upon the .tat Civil, or civil standing of all its citizens—the indisputa ble evidence at once of their social and political position, family connection and legitimacy of birth. In France, such a thing as a secret, that is, a secret legal marriage, is im possible. A priest or clergyman is subject to heavy penalties if he performs the religions ceremony without first having in his hands the papers which assure him that the civil formalities have been fulfilled, and the civil authorities on 'their part will not conclude the latter until the names and position of the parties presenting themselvets, their liberty and right to enter into the contract, or the assent of those whose permission may be necessary—until, in feet, every legal requisite has been complied with, and complete notice of and publicity been given to the whole proceeding. So strict are the regulations on this head now at the different maieries, that very often les nouveaux riehes,who haye lately ad ded the aristocratic particle "de" to their name, or assumed one of those dubious titles of Comte, Viscomte or Baron, which are now so frequent and so indispensable in what is called "society," find considerable difficulty in making good their right to such appendages, or satisfying the de mands of the Registrar. Were it only on this latter ground, there Se much to be said in favor of the way in which they "manage these things in France." Another incident occurred the other day connected with the ecclesiastical world, which is really very - shocking, especially at such a season as that at which I write. A young medical man, having to write a theme for his degree of doctor, took for his subject pure materialism, and under took to prove that he had no more soul than an oyster. His indecent essay was read before the Faculty of Medicine, lit public,without one word of remark, and the degree granted. The inci dent came to the ears, however, of the Bishop of Orleans,vvho remonstrated, and finally the Minis ter of Public Instruction quashed the essay, and intimated that such a subject ought not to have been allowed. And now the young man writes awl:publishes a long letter to the Bishop, to say that he is a conscientious materialist and free thinker, and that his father was the same before him. Of course, every man has a right to hold privately what opinions he likes. But there is something neither very decent nor modest in a very young man 'thus publicly braving and offending the religion of all around him, and .a grave Faculty not even recommenaing, him to be more discreet. During this holiday season vast crowds of peo ple visit the public galleries ; and.lt is curious to watch, in some cases, which way the current•of popular favor sets. Thus, for instance, being in the Louvre the other day, I conld not but be struck by the homage still paid to the memory of the First Napoleon, even in the shape of his old clothes. The bat, a "shocking"' bad one, by the way, which he last wore at St. Helena, is always a great attraction. It is placed in a glass ease in the Musde des Sonverains, the latter being itself a creation of the Second Datpire, and evidently in tended to link the Bonaparte family with the Capets and others 'who preceded it.. There, too, a short time ago, was exhibited a largeicollection of Napoleon's dress shoes and slippers, placed lilts a' faisceau of arms against tbe and • looking so superlatliely ridicUlOns that they; PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1868. have since been removed. But among many of his old garments. it is singular that there Should be no relic of the one by which, with the exception of the cocked hat,• the figure of Napoleon I. it best known to the world. I mean the now almost historical gray overcoat. The origin s.f this celebrated garment is said to be as follows: Napoleon was at St. Cloud, preparing for the campaign of Austerlitz. As is well known, the Emperor paidgreat atten tion to his own personal equipment in such mat ters as clothes, dressing-case, &c. He sent for his tailor, a man of the name of Legea7, who died not long ago, at the age of a hundred, in the village of Ville d'Avray, near Paris. The tailor came dressed in a light, loose, grey frock or over coat. Napoleon, addressing him, said : "M. Lsgeay, I want something for horseback more convenient than a cloak, but at the same time warm; in fact, very much such a coat as you have get on yourself.' . " Very welt, sir," the tailor replied, "I will pre pare such a garment; your Majesty, I presume, will wear it of the imperial color' which la dark green). "No," said Napoleon, "that will show the dust too much; let it be gray;" and so gray it was, and the Emperor wore it at Austerlitz, and at almost every subseqqent battle down to Waterloo. The one worn on that last occasion is, Lbelieve, in the possession of the Murat family, and is undoubtedly a relic on which it would be difficult to look without emo *don. At least, one would be more willing to • confess such emotion when gazing on it than in prcsence of old shoes and slippers. I have but space left to add that I attach not the smallest importance to the rumors of war which may have reached you, and have perfect confidence in the tranquillity of Europe for some time to come. ABVISSINIA • General Napier's Advance Nearing the k rent of 7 hesdoras•s Camp—A Native Chief Breaks Vann With the English —Si e Operates in the Reitz and Seeks io Cut nit ri a pie rls Supplies. (From the New York Herald of to-day.] QVICEN'S HOTEL, LONDON, April 2.1, 1808.—The epecial correspondent of the Herald attached to the British army expedition in Abyssinia forwards felt grams dated with the advance brigade under' General Napier—the place is not named—on the al of April. He reports that the troops would wove next day along the bank of the Bashilo river -till nearer in front of King Theodortts's camp. The native chief ruling in the mountianous and alificult districts of Wojjerat, through which the at my has passed, had broken the peace arrange. pant, or treaty, which he concluded with Gen. Napier when advancing. This chief, who Is now in the rear of the English army, refuses to per mit the transit of army supplies from the base at Annealey Bay through his territory; in fact, seeks to cut off the communication of the General with ,he shore. Gen. Napier has resolved to punish him for his violation of faith on his return after eealing with Theodorus. Abyssinian war news has been received in this city to-day from other sources, but the advices are not so lute as tire last despatch of General Napier, dated at Abdlcom on the lst instant, the contents of which were transmitted by cable telegram last Tuesday evening. {Mr. Pearce passed through the Wojjerat country during his journey .frcm Antalo to Lake A&aw..l in-the- year 1807, and also on his return to Antalo. In his diary he says: "September 28, 1807, having crossed the narrow and mountainous district of Wojjerat, I arrived in eight hours at an extensive and uncul tivated plain inhabited by tribes of negroes called °ohm, which are interspersed throuth all the re gions of Africa."] Marshal Narvaez, Duke of Valencia.: The Cable informed us last night of the death of Narvaez, Wilke of Valencia. Don Romon Ma ria Narvaez was born at Loja, in Andalusia, a Province of Spain, on August 4, 1800. He en tered the army while yet young, first serving as a cadet in the Walloon Guards. He greatly dis tinguished himself In the war between Spam and France In the early part of the present cen tury, and was promoted rapidly. Having rendered himself obnoxious to the Gov ernment of Ferdinand VII., in 1822, he re tired to Loja, and took no part in public affairs until the death of Ferdinand m 1832. In 1834 he rejoined the service as Colonel of the Chasseurs, and in the following year repressed the insurrec tion in the Basque Provinces with such ardor and ability that he was made a brigadier. Daring the Carlist war he made himself famous by the cele brated pursuit of Gomez, the Carlist General, whom he finally defeated at Majaceite, in No vember, 1836. This was the turning point in his career, his popularity being such that he became the rival of his former leader, Espartero. At the close of the war in 1840, an open rupture having occurred be tween Espartero and the tarty of the Queen-Mo ther, Narvaez espoused the cause of the latter. In 1843, Narvaez, by his efforts, overthrew the' dictatorship of Espartero, and for his success was rewarded with the title, Duke of Valencia. He was the Prime Minister, of Spain until the defeat 'of his ministry in 1846. In 1847 he became the leader of t?-3 plots designed against Queen Isabel la by the Queen-Mother. In October of that year he became President of the Council, an office which be retained until the breaking up of the Ministry in 1851. He accepted, but subsequently . re signed, a seat in the Armero-Mon Cabinet. In 1864 he succeeded the Marquis de Miraflores as Chief of the Cabinet, and rendered himself again popular by the repression of the insurrectionary movement in St. Domingo in January, 180. General O'Donnell came into power shortly after this coup, but remained in office for a short time, the Duke of Valencia again taking the reins ofi government in 1866, which he retained until the time of his death. Sample Selling , in Pittsburgh—Arrest of a Philadelphian. [Prom the Pittsburgh Poet of the 23d.] On yesterday H. W. Colesbury, a sample dealer, representing the firm of Dawson, Judd & Co., of Philadelphia, wholesale dealers in dry goods, had a• earing before Jilderman Humbert on a charge of selling goods by sample in this city without a proper license, in violation of the provisions of an act of Assembly passed in April, 1849. The case against the defendant was established by proof, when his counsel submitted a license granted by Mr. Allison, City Treasurer, for which defendant had paid one hundred dollars. It was contended on the part of the Common wealth that this license was not sufficient to avert the penalty—fine of fifty dollars—inasmuch as all the requirements of the law in question were not complied with. The twenty-second section of the act requires that an applicant for license who shall not have been a resident within Allegheny county for a period of six months before making application to the Treasurer, shall at the time of said application file an affidavit setting forth that it is the 6onafids intention of the applicant to re side within the said county. and to be engaged in selling by wholesale, retail or otherwise, goods, wares, &c., for at least one year. It was not shown by the defence that such an affidavit had been filed. • Tim twenty-fourth section of the same act pro vides that if any person who has not been a resi dent of the county six months shall sell goods by sample or otherwise, without having made and Oled an affidavit as required by the twenty-second section, and obtained a license, he shall be subject to a penalty of fifty _dollars,. one.lialf• or said penalty to go to the Informer. • _ Alderman Humbert gave judgment against the defendant, upon which his counsel announced that he would procure a writ of certiorari, a pro ceeding that will carry the case into the courts for edindication. • OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.

Death of ?larvae's. Duke of Valencia. Damao. April 23, 1868. —General Narvaez, Duke of Valencia and Prime Minister of Spain, died in this+ city at eight o'cloek this morning, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. Yesterday morning, at about seven o'clock, a most frightful accident occurred at the job print ing establishment of W. S. Haven, on Third street. A boy aged nineteen years, named Henry Boilman, was engaged in adjusting a belt on some of the lower shafting, when his left hand was caught by the belt' and he was drawn up to the ceiling. There his arm was twisted around the upper shafting, crushing the bones of the hand, the wrist, the forearm, and the arm to a point half way between the el bow and the shoulder. At that place the muscles were torn asunder, and the unfortunate young man dropped to the floor, leaving kis mangled limb still whirling around die shaft. So sudden and swift was the whole occurrence, that, al though the engine was almost instantly stopped, it was too late. The left ear of the sufferer was also torn almost entirely off, and the face con siderably lacerated. He was surf-immediatey removed to ettaitable locality, and geons- - summoned. They arrived in a very hew minutes, and proceeded immediately to arrest the bleeding from the Injuries. After they had sufficiently revived the patient by the administering of stimulants, they proceeded at once to amputate what remained of the arm at the shoulder joint. The young man bore the operation very well, and, after a short rest, he was conveyed to his home in Birmingham.where, at last accounts, he was doing well. ' The torn ear was secured by stitching. It is thought that the patient will recover. At about eight o'clock yesterday morning 4 coal-miner named John Michael, employedin the coal pit of Keeling Co., in St. Clair town ship, above Birmingham, was killed by the fall of a mass of slate or "horseback." He was the first man in the pit, and went into a "room" worked by another man, his own not being ready to work. Shortly after he went in the man whose "room" it was went in, and found Michael lying on the ground under a heavy mass of slate which had fallen from the roof. The slate was taken off,as soon as possible, but the unfortunate man was found to be quite dead. The mass had struck him on the back of the head, crushing his skull. Coroner Clawson was summoned and held an inquest. The testimony proved the accident to have been unavoidable, and a verdict of acciden tal death was rendered. Deceased was thirty two years of age and was born in Prussia. He had been in this country ten years. He leaves a wife and five children. "Agate," the Cincinnati Gazettc'e lively Wash ington ggssiper, sums up thus: "Mr. Mmes is probably doubtful. His term is about to expire; he is not a candidate for re election; he dislikes very much the idea of Mr. Wade's succession to the Presidency; he is some what soured by the disappointment of some hopes of his own, and he has never, as it is un derstood, thougheimpeachment wise. Mr. Fessenden, like Mr. Grimes, feels very bit terly opposed to the succession of Mr. Wade; he was chagrined at the defeat of his own hopes of election to the presidency of the Senate; he has taken a dyspeptic hostility to almost every thing which Mr. Sumner favors; and his natu rally conservative habit of mind has led him like wise to regard impeachment as a remedy of doubtful wisdom. Still there is less doubt as to his vote. Consciously or unconsciously, he can not well help being swayed by the kffowledge of the damage to his own future which a vote in favor of Mr. Johnson would work. Mr. Trumbull has been understood to take, in some respects, views similar to those of Mr. Fes seuden. He is perhaps more likely to be con- - trolled by purely legal considerations, quo/bons of a technical nature, and the like; and his con servative tendencies likewise 'shrink from measure inherently revolutionary in its nature. Still, those who know those Senators best feel confident that both Fessenden and Trumbull re gard Mr. Johnson as guilty on at least some of the articles. Mr. Sprague has been thought to be doubtful, mainly because of. the foolish stories concerning his lather-in-law, the Chief Justice, with whom he has been supposed to be in full sympathy. Ir respective,however, of any consideration of what may or may not ba the views of the Chief Jus tice, those who know Governor Sprague best know very well that he is a man accustomed to do his own thinking, and to reach his own con clusions, to a much larger extent than he has generally received credit for. And it may be added that the same persons feel little or no doubt as to his vote for the conviction of Mr. Johnson, unless the trial should develop some new and now unlooked for features.

Mr. - Ross has been much talked of as doubtful without any very apparent reason. He comes from the State of Katile, which might be cone eldered prima facie evidence of the way he Is likely to vote. Mr. Van Winkle may be doubtful. He has never been considered, for any considerable length of time, in tiny other light. Giving the President, however, the bncut of these doubtful votes, he still falls short of the required number. CRIME. Suicide of a liVilmingtonian. The Wilmington amonercial of yesterday con tains the following: Brevet Major Henry C. Robineft. of this city, committed suicide at New Orleans yesterday. The bare announcement of the sad fact is all the news we have. He was a Captain In the First Infantry, on duty at New Orleans at the time of kis death. He has been suffering much recently from the severe wound in the head he received during the war, and it seems probable that this together with the death, a few months ago, of a beautiful young lady in this city, to whom he was engaged, had overthrown his reason. Ile was a gallant soldier in the war, and won distinction as an artillery commander. His bat tery achieved a national reputation, and at Cor inth covered its commander and itself with un dying fame. Major Robinett won the distin guished regard of the General-in-Chlef. and for some time served on General Grgpre staff. He leaves an aged father and mother nd many rela tives and friends in the city, who will sincerely mourn his tragic death. His remains will proba bly be brought home for interment. THEATRES. Etc.

RICHINGs OPERA TROOPE.—This evening Balfe's opera, The Bohemian Girl, will be pre sented at the Academy of Music, by the English opera troupe, upon the occasion of Mr. A. S. Pennoyer's benefit. The opera is so popular that the mere announcement of its performance will be sufficient to attract a large audience; but Mr. Pennoyer, acting in the capacity of business manager,has made himself so popular personally, and has managed the affairs of his company in a manner so acceptable to those with whom he has come in contact, that there is something due to him. A few seats can still be bad at Trampler's. CARL BENTZ'S ORCRESTRA.-On the afternoon of Thursday the 30th instant, this organization will have a complimentary benefit at Horticultural Hall, when an attractive programme will be pre sented. Tickets are for sale at W. H. Boner & Co.'s, No 1102 Chestnut street. ELEVENTH STREET OPERA 11017 SE.—Messrs.

GRAND CONCREIT.— The Amplaion Amateur Musical Association desire to remind the sub scribers that the Concert will take place to-mor row evening at 8 o'clock. A Blockade. To the Editors of the Bulletin.—Dsar. Sins : Permit me to call attention, very emphatically, through your columns, to the blockade that the citizens of Germantown suffer from. There is now no practiable entrance to the city between Seventh street on the east and the Township line road on Twenty-second street to the west. The entire Interval is closed up. Tenth street and Broad are the only two streets that have been opened through to the Germantown pike. Tenth is impassable and is now fenced across. Broad Street was graded two years ago, and as it was intended to macadam ise it, no pains were taken to put it in order ; there are now such deep sloughs near Rising Bun Lane that I fancy those who have tried it once, will not attempt it again before next Sum mer. The macadamizing was carried to the Germantown Railroad intersection, and then, stopped because the water pipes could not be had to lay. Is it not incredible that the whole community North must be cut oil from the, city for years because no watefpipes can be had? And why cannot they be had? I will answer for it that if I wanted to buy pipe I would have it without diMculty. Broad street has been further graded for about two miles beyond the Germantown turnpike, but the le of this two miles is useless for want of a bri' , l l;tver the Reading Railroad, respecting which ~rels some dispute. The rights of the question ought to be settled at once, and the bridge built. But the main point is that other streets ought to be opened forthwith. Either Thirteenth street br Park avenue ought at once to be thrown open to the Germantown turnpike, and either Seventeenth or Eighteenth ought to be opened from Tuner's lane to the Township line. No good reason can be assigned why the present 'blockade should continue. We citizens of Germantown are assessed high and are taxed for highways, whilst our roads are left in shocking condition. We are taxed for police, of which we get next:to no advantage, as the robberies constantly going on 'are never de tected and punished. So for what we pay, we are at least entitled to get an access to the city. I trust the members of Councils from Twenty second Ward will take this matter up in earnest. I am glad to see that one has made a beginning. Yours truly, L. To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin :—We were pleased to notice in the Bor,rxrDr, of yes terday, a correspondence relating to theActioa of a number of influential citizens in behilf of the renomination of Richard Peitz, Esq., as Receiver of Taxes. Wo fully approve of all that is said regarding Mr. Peitz, but would suggest the prompt attendance at the primary elections of all good citizens favoring this end. With the proper delegates secured,the end is accomplished.
