DIMING ROBBERY IN NEW YORK.
Larceny of $6,000 Worth of Wearing
Apparel—A Portion of it ftecovered.
A robbery that for daring has few parallels in
the history of New York criminal affairs took
place yesterday afternoon, on a crowded street
in broad daylight. It appears that at four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the family of Mr. Black, of
the firm of Ball & Black, jewellers, Broadway
%
returned from their country seat and proceeded
to their residence No. 2 Forty-eighth street, de
spatched the drayman of the firm for fourteen
pieces of baggage that they had left at the depot.
The drayman obtained the baggage, and pass
ing by the establishment on Broadway left the
wagon and horse on the street in the rear while
he ran to obtain the assistance of one of the por
ters in removing the trunks to Mr. Ball's resi
dence. On his return, after a minute's absence,
to his horror he discovered that the horse, wagon
and trunks had been stolen. Re learned that
three men had been seen driving the property up
Mercer street. The Superintendent of Police
was promptly informed of the robbery, and
in a few minutes the entire force of the
city were on the qui dire. The thieves; it seems,
drove up town, and one of them, taking charge
of the horse, wagon, and contents, proceeded to
an ice dealer on the corner of Ninth avenue and
Forty-fourth street, and requested permission to
deposit the trunks with him. Leaving four of the
trunks and a large tin box the man departed,
promising to call for them. With the balance of
the property he proceeded to some point farther
up (own, where he disposed of all his load ex
cepting one piece, which he abandoned on the
corner of Seventy-second strbet - and Broadway,
together with the horse and wagon, which were
found by the police.
Later in the evening, about eight o'clock, while
officer Rose, of the Twenty-second precinct, was
waiting at the fence on Ninth avenue where the
trunks had been deposited for the return of the
thieves, a man whom he supposed to be an em
ploye of Ball Black drove up in charge of a
horse and wagon. Seeing the officer approach
ing, the driver jumped out of the wagon and
made his escape. The horse and wagon is still in
the hands of the police.
The property is said to be worth $6,000, only
a portion of which bed been recovered at mid
night,up to which time no arrestshad been made,
but it is more than probable that some of them
will be secured. The exact value of the property
still missing was not ascertained.—Herald to-day.

PARIS, Friday, October 9th, 1868.
Spain has always been designated, par excel
lence, as the Land of Romance; and, truly, noth
ing could tend more effectually to keep up her
character than the romance of politics of which
the first act has just been played out on the other
side of the Pyrenees. At the very moment at which
. that poor miserable Illustration of a worn out
rasa and an effete system, Queen Isar-
Nile, is "protesting," with a shriek
which is affecting only because it does
come from a woman—that a throne of fifteen
centuries, more or lese,is not to be upset in forty
eight hours—at the very moment she is
with at her might protesting against the possi
bility of this, as a fact, the thing is done ! The
throne Is upset, and,by universal assent, so upset
that happen what may, it is never likely to beset
up again. However dark and obscure the future
of Spain may be in other respects—and dark and
obscure enough it is, Heaven knows—it is agreed
nem. con. that the fate of the Bourbons and the
old monarchy Is sealed irrevocably, however dif
ficult may be the task of substituting anything
else in their place. Never was the uprising of a
a bolo people so complete. Never was the
cry of agony and shame wrung from the
national voice so unanimous,loud and unmistak
able. In point of fact, the whole Spanish Rev
.olation—for insurrection it can be called no
longer—may be summed up in four
words : A has les Bourbons
Therein lay the strength of the leaders of the re.
hellion, and therein rest for the moment the re
sults of the rebellion itself. For the future. ad
the poUrra! Come what, come may, let us
only first get rid of a government and a sovereign
whose very existence was a disgrace at home and
a scorn abroad, and we will, as Macbeth said,
"leap the life to come !" We will stand all risks
and hazardsof the future and the unknown,to be
quit of the unbearable contumely of the
present and the known. Such Is the voice of
Spain from the Pillars of Hercules to the Gulf of
Biscay, from Catalan to Castile. If there be
anything which inspires hope for Spanish re
generation, it is this unanimity in protesting
against national disgrace, and this exhibition of
a people capable at least of being still stung to
the quick by being thus made a spectacle and a
laughing stock to gods and men. To be ruled by
such a woman and such a government was
too much even for Spaniards. And it will not
do to look at what has happened in Spain
merely from an American point of view. The
downfall of such a state of things as previously
existed will appear to Americans, perhaps, as at
once a most natural and inevitable event. Not
so with Spaniards ; at least with the mass of the
nation. What is called " loyalty "is witn them a
sort of creed, rooted by centuries into• their dis
position and character, and almost wholly irre
spective of the person for whom it is entertained
or the conduct of that person. Then, again, their
religion, or more properly speaking, superstition,
pointed in the same direction, and Queen Isabella
was still also Isabella the Catholic in the
eyes of the vast bulk of the population. Both
these long-rooted prejudices had to be overcome
and violated before Spaniards could act as they
have just done, and that such feelings have
been s< t aside la the best proof at once of the
excess of provocation which must have been
offered to them, and also, as I have said, that it
is still possible for Spaniards to be aroused and
see through the middle-age mist and darkness in
which they have so long slumbered.
The government here and the government
press con tinue,in a sort of sulky underhand way,
to manifest their ill-humor at the above events.
The Constitutionnel, for Instance, the other day,
insists that "every one must agree" with that
passage in Queen Isabella's protest, in which she
inveighs against the "disloyalty and treachery" of
which she has been the victim ! No doubt the
sudden falling away of the royal troops, of whose
"fidelity" we at first heard so much,ruid their fra
ternization with the people, are incidents which
have caused some quaking here in high
places. Such examples have a strong tendency
to propagate themselves ; and, moreover, they
demonstrate very alarmingly the fact that when
an army feels itself opposed face to face against
the wishes of the nation, its moral strength is
gone, however strong under other circumstances

It is amusing, again, to read in the Mon
iteur of this morning the curt announcement
that "a considerable crowd collected to witness
General Prim's entrance into Madrid," at a
moment when the Havas Agency, whose tongue
bas been unloosed, telegraphs of the same event,
that "it impossible to describe the phrensied
enthusiasm of the population;" that "the multi
tude was immense; nothing like it had ever been
seen; all the city was ,afoot; army_marine u and
national guards escorted the General; four hours
were required to traverse the streets; French,
Italian, and Swiss deputations were arriving on
every side, &c." Rather different, all this, from
the "considerable crowd" of the French offi
cial mouthpiece!
The Emperor is said to be expected here on
Monday next. There is' evidently "distress of
nations and perplexity" in the Council of Biarritz.
As usual, of late, Louis Napoleon is trying again
to sit between two stools, and will probably again
come to the ground between the Spanish nation
and Queen Isabella. -
We are at present favored with the presence
on French soil of two pretenders to the vacant
throne. Don Carlos, just raised to that ques
tionable dignity by the "solemn abdication of
his right" <according to the language of _ UR:
legitimist Union) by his father, the Infant Don
Juan de Bourbon—has been in Paris, "consulting
his friends." What friends? is asked—French
or Spanish? And is Don Carlos pulling the Im
perial Government by one sleeve in the capital,
while Queen Isabella is tugging the Emperor
by the other at Biarritz ?
I mentioned, the other day, that Queen Isa
bella was said to have raised some five or six
millions of francs to bring off with her into exile,
The Paris papers are now asserting that, with the
same prudent foresight which distinguished her

.Just as I write,l hear that Queen Maria Christina
has also arrived in Paris. If things go on at this
rate, we shall soon have as pretty an assemblage of
royal pickpockets as Napoleon lIL could desire
lo see, to embellish his court and maintain the
reputation of his wife's "Spanish connections" !
A letter from Biarritz, speaking of the imperial
court and its "simple ways," says that "this mode
of Life, free from all etiquette, seems to delight the
imperial family." And then the writer adds with
charming.nairete : "In his moments of leisure
his Majesty occupies himself - with agricultural
pursuits, and the time of the vintage having ar
lived, he himself superintended the gathering of
the grapes !" Is not this a beautiful picture?

Not even Spanish bullfights are successful
now-a-days. The "company" at Havre has just
closed its performance with a loss of twenty or
tbirty thousand francs. The exhibition was a
wretched burlesque of a brutal remnant of mid
dle-age barbarism, hardly supportable when even
seen on the scale and in the splendor of the bull
rings of Madrid and Seville.
SPAI R.
How Isabella's Protest was Received.
—A correspondent says:
"I need hardly say that the Queen's protest
bas been received with the greatest equanimity
by the leaders of the revolution, and has excited
no feelings but anger and contempt in the minds
Of the people of Madrid. The misrepresentations
of facts and the misrepresentation of events of
which it is made up are certainly sufficiently bold,
and do credit to the imaginatian of the author,but
they are not likely to be successful in mislead
ing any considerable section of the Spanish peo
ple, or, I should imagine, of foreigners either. It
'a according to established rule in these matters
that all revolutions, however necessary for the
salvation of nations, should be regarded by those
against whom they are directed as designed only
in the interest of anarchy, and I shall therefore
Pass over the first paragraph of the protest with
the single observation,that those who know Spain
best, and have her interests most at heart, main
tain that for the last two years the country has
been In a state of practical anarchy, or worse
than anarchy, and that the sole
means of restoring the only order and reg
ularity worth having—the order which arises
from the due observance of the laws and the
just restriction of authority—were to be found
In such a revolution as has taken place In Spain.
But when we look at what has taken place in
Madrid—to say nothing of Cadiz, Seville, Cor
dova,Barcelona and other Important towns—it is
worse than idle to talk of important cities and
numerous populations yielding to intimidation."
The Queen's Extravagance.
Extravagant expenditure is one of the charges
brought against the ex-Queen. The Madrid
I'nirervil has just published a statement of the
cost of the royal family, from which it appears
that Isabella had 3,400,000 dollars; the King
consort, 240,000; the Prince of Asturias, 245,000;
the Countess Girgenti, 200,000; the Duchess of
Siontpenaler, 200,000; and finally, Christina,
Duchess of Rianzares, 300,000. Alto ether,
14,585,000, which sum would be increased if the
pensions of the Duke of Slum, Don Sebastian
and others were included.

—Mr. Russell writes to the Lotno TimeB from
Madrid, under date of October 7 :
"Prim is in Madrid. It can no longer be
doubted that the hour for Spain has struck; it is
equally certain that the man is forthcoming.
There Is nothing more unaccountable than the
people's instincts. Their love is always at first
eight. The Italians owe their freedom to
the French of Solferino and the
Prussians of Sadowa ; but they associate
it with Garibaldi, It is a series of blunders of
the detestable Gonzalez Bravo that has hurled the
Bourbons from the throne of Spain; but the cry
is 'Down with the Queen and long live Prim!'
In their fallen sovereign and in the fugitive of
1866 the Spaniards recognize the two antagonis
tic extremes of evil and good. They yield to the
impulse of hero-worship, and Prim for the pres
ent is the idol to which they pay undivided hon
ors."
In Biding.
The number of fugitives and persons biding or
living in a state of the utmost panic in Madrid if
incredible. The foreign legations are beset by
people applying for shelter; but fears of that na.
ture are merel the result of arrant coward' .;_

grant the requested asylum.
Napoleon Makes an Inquiry.
A Paris letter-writer says: "A personage from
Spain arrived at Biarritz. a day or two ago, and
on being received by the Emperor, his Majesty is
reported to have inquired how Spanish affairs
were getting on. 'Very well, Sire."Ah !' said
Napoleon, with a smile, 'the people and the revo
talon are still in their honeymoon."'

The Lucky Coburg..
The Pall Mall Gazette says: "The good fortune
of the "lucky Coburgs" Is not yet perhaps ex
hausted. By marriages more prosperous than
those of the Hapsburg princes, or by popular
choice, they have come into possession of three
European thrones, and have allied themselves
closely with at least as many more. And now it
is quite on the cards that the crown of Isabel the
Second may fall to one of the offshoots of the
little German principality. At least, the three
candidates for the vacant place of the last Boar
bon who are supposed to be most popular at
Madrid are all of them Coburg°. Dom Luis of
Portugal, Leopold IL of Belgium, and the Duke
of Edinburgh are the favorites for the "Queen's
Plato" at the Spanish Autumn Meeting; it re
mains to be seen whether the Coburg stock will
add another triumph to its record."
The Rebellion in Turkey.
The latest English journals express the opinion
that the discovery of a plot to depose the Sultan
of Turkey may lead to most important results.
The participation of the presumptive heir may be
made, it is said, a pretext for changing the order
of succession, and the arrest of a kusaian subject
may provoke a conflict between the Sublime

selves wofully mistaken. Early to-day the news
was telegraphed from New York here that Sey
mour intends taking the stump in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and it produced
on Immense sensation in Democratic circles. All
talk now about a change of candidates Is at an
end. The National Itztclligencer to-day was silent
as the grave upon the subject,and it is understood
that its proprietors have been "whipped in" to
giving the Seymour ticket a nominal support,
under threats of excommunication from the party
in the future. The Democrats are gathering their
scattered forces together, and are determined to
make the best fight they can on the 3d of Novem
ber. The voters of both parties that will leave
here for Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and the
neighboring States, to take part in the Presiden
tial election, will be largely in excess of
any former occasion. Every man having a
1. , 0te, and some who are not entitled to vote, will
go, for both parties are straining every nerve to
get every voter to the polls. The Democrats are
working with the energy of despair. The Re.
publicans are confident and hopeful, and will
leave no honorable means untried to maintain
the advantage they gained in the October elec
tions.
THE PASSAGE THROUGH BALTIMORE.
The Baltimore Sue, of to-day, in a labored
editorlal,apologines for the conduct of the rioters
who attacked the train on Monday night week,
and absolutely justifies the cowardly assault on
Mr. Clary, of this city, who was dragged
through the window of one of the CAM
and beaten till he was almost insensible, on
the ground that he made some insulting demon
stration to the rioters. It has not one word of
condemnation for the brutal ruffians who in
vaded the privacy of the cars and compelled
passengers to tell how they intended to vote,
under threats of instant death. The Sun en
deavors to make it appear that the published
statement of the affair originated from parties
interested in a new railroad contemplated
between Baltimore and Washington. Tee ab
surdity of this plea is apparent, when it is con
sidered that the lives of passengers would be no
more safe on the new road, if ever it is built, than
on the existing line, if the constituted authorities
of Baltimore take no more pains to ferret out
and arrest rioters than they have done in the last
few weeks, when passengers have been molested
on several occasions by these ruffians. No one
blames the officers and employes of the railroad
companies, as they are powerless before a multi
tude of infuriated men; but the traveling public
feel deeply Interested in knowing that adequate
arrangements will be made to prevent a repeti
tion of the outrages while the trains may be
passing through Baltimore for one or two days
previous to the coming Presidential election.
A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF THADDEUS STEVENS
The eoldred people of Washington, who revere
the memory of Thad. Stevens, have erected a neat

on the Ist of December. It is of brick, three sto

state that four divisions of, the Mexican army are

There were rumors at Colima of various fili

at San Bias. Tepic, Lozada's headquarters,is on

DISASTROJB FUME IN
Destruction of an OH Refinery—Loss
*1,30,000.
—The Cleveland Leader of the 20th says :
"One of the most destructive conflagrations
that has visited our city for many months took
place on Monday evening. Shortly after five
o'clock a fire broke out in the treating-house con
nected with the oil refining establishment of Alex
antler, Schotleld.4 .Co. The origin of the fire is
unknown, altliciugh in all probability It was
caused by the sudden ignition of the gas which
pervades the buildings In which the various pro
ceases of refining are carried on, by a spark from
one of the furnaces. As usual in such cases, the
fire spread with amazing rapidity, the oil and
other inflammable material falling a swift prey to
the devouring flames.
"The fire also communicated to a large ware
house in which were stored over 600 barrels
of refined oll,and so quickly did it spread through
this that nothing from it was saved. The fiery
Inundation soon reached a large building con
taining two thousand empty barrels, and this,
with all its contents, was soon swept away by the
roaring flames.
"The loss by this disastrous fire will be from
525,000 to $30,000, including buildings, oil and
barrels, and may exceed that amount.
We could not learn in regard to the insu
rance, if any, but wo presume it was not largely
insured."

P'77l` 01,R1711 V. NASElC.—Horticultural Hall was
filled with a splendid audience, last evening, in
spite of the bad weather, to hear Mt. Locke's fa
tuous lecture on "Cursed be Canaan." The Rev.
Petroleum V. Nasby, P. M., has been working his
way into, public view for the last eight years, but
within the last two or three years he has gained a
position among American humorists and satirists
which has mace "Nasby" as familiar a name as
that of "Jack Downing" was thirty years ago.
The characters of the Corners, Pogram, Bigler,
Pollock, Gavitt, Pennibacker and others are as
much "household words," as are the most famil
iar creations of Dickens or Thackeray.
There was great curiosity to see the man who
has struck this new mine of American literature
and worked it so successfully in the grand cause
of human liberty. Everywhere, the powerful in
fluence of Nasby's letters upon the political ques
tions of the day has come to be recognized, and.
it MS the recognition of this influence, and a
natural curiosity to see Petroleum V. Nasby in
the flesh, that drew together one of our very best
Philadelphia audiences last night.
Mr. Locke, a sturdy, bright-eyed, pleasant
faced man, apparently about thirty-five years of
age, was introduced by Ex-Governor Pollock,
who in a lew well-chosen sentences. explained
that he was not the "Illinoy storekeeper." The
"reverend" lecturer immediately plunged into his
subject, reading from his manuscript with a clear,
strong and agreeable voice, and with excellent
emphasis and intonation. He discussed the
slavery question from the Nasby point of view,
but in correct English, and it was immediately
evident that Le had put himself thoroughly en
rapport with his audience, who constantly inter
rupted him with bursts of applause and peals of
uncontrollable laughter, which, as we a ll know,
aro so rarely elicited from a Philadelphia. audi
ence. The lecture abounds in the subtlest humor,
the keenest satire and sarcasm, and the broadest
~-4- t rA-it-W4lB-IgeaßaM-640-80.0-41-0-4): •
hension with which every telling point was
seized upon and relished bS ,- his hearers.
It is impossible to select specimens
from the multitude of clever hits with which
"Cursed be Canaan" is crammed. The lecture as
a whole, is a very fine hit, and it is so much more
than a mere piece of humor,-,there is so much
profound philosophy and unanswerable argu
ment under the quaint satire of Nasby's conceits,
that an intelligent audience Is as much instructed
as amused by it.
Mr. Locke, although born in New York, Is, as
we originally suspected, a full-blooded Massa
chusetts man, his parents having removed from
their ancestral home In Woburn, Mass., just be
fore his birth. He is full of New England's in
stinctive love of human liberty, and his remark
able talents as a satirist have been nobly devoted
to that cause. We are glad to know that there
is a prospect of a repetition of the lecture in
Philacelphla during the coming winter, when
those who have yet to see and hear the immortal
"Petroleum V. Nasby, P. M., Confederit X Roads,
which is the State nv Kentucky," will have an
opportunity of doing so.

possess another advantage in the very elation of
the Republicans over their success in the State

slacken their exertions. The cry which they have
raised of 'a Democratic rout,' will simply throw
