Ugoweepondenes of the Philadelphia Eonlee Penis Friday Oct. 30,1868.—We should be at this moment in a state of complete political pla titude, awaiting only tranquilly the solution of the Spanish question, were It not for some rather ominous symptoms Which have suddenly loomed up In the North of &nape. These have pro ceeded, In the first place, from Austria, and secondly, from Russia, that great Colossus of the Old World, whose power and influence alone counterbalances in Europe that of the United ,States. Russia, It hs true, lies dormant just now. But; if I mistake` hot. she 'onl,y'reernits her in 'terns! strength. Shit has not forgotten the pre diction I quoted only on Tuesday last, that Europe had to choose between being Cossack or ,republican; and by and by, - nuder a more am bitions Czar perhapi than the amiable Alexander, she will awake, like a giant refreshed with sleep :and bid for the sceptre and inheritance of some of the crumbling thrones of Europe. Russia, and Amelles have hoth the strength of young blood in their veins, and both seek alike for the devel opment and exercise of their active and expan sive energies, while the rest of ;the world sinks rather into the'repose and indolence of age. But to return to the demonstration I :was speaking of: Austria has ventured, by the month of M. do Benet, to utter some thing to make people uneasy. That Minister, addressing a Committee of the Austrian Perlis ' ment, went so far as to allude to the possibility, or even probability of an eventual conflict be tween France , and Prussia, and in the contempla tion of such an event, insisted upon the necessity of an army of 800,000 men. Eight hundred thousand soldiera for a bankrupt State like that of the Emperor Francis Joseph ! Such policy seems stark mad ness, and can have but one aim in view : The deeperate hope of retrieving past disasters in the `midst of a general scrimmage. If Austria keep up an army of 800,000 men, it can be for no purpose save to throw herself upon Prussia, :when the latter is engaged with France. The policy is suicidal ; but nevertheless Europe feels that It is on the cards, and hence listens uneasily to M. de Beast's rather Imprudent utterance. Then, again, as I have said, a warning and start ling voice cube also from Russia. The Journal de St. Peterabourg, an authoritative organ, prints an article on "War or Peace," which is eignift cant in a country where the press Is not generally allowed to make things "unpleasant" without permission. Here again, a conflict between France and Prussia openly contemplated. If 'victorious France, it is said, should cross the ',Rhine and revolutionize Posen, the movement would extend to Poland proper, and, in that case, "the Russian armies would take the field to re store order. The national movement throturhoiat ;Russia would be rapin and energetic from the day when the French eagle entered Germany and re awakened the souvenir of the First Empire." There is no doubt that the above is alarming language, and one wonders that the Russian Government has permitted it to be published. It is the more alarming because my correspondents In the Spanish Peninsula intimate to me that it le thought there:that even the Emperor Alexander, mild and moderate though ho be in pereonal character, views with deep regret, and even ap prehension, the severe blow inflicted on the mo narchical, egitimate and divine-right principle by the summary ejection of Isabella and her race. Should a Republic, by any chance, be established In an old monarchical and once first-class Euro pean state like Spain, Russia may feel that it is the thin end of the wedge applied to the block of which she forms the opposite extremity, and that the rent, if once - allowed - to - spread - WEI stop only when It has reached the other side. There is no saying, if this sentiment gain ground, how soon the "Cossack" and "Republican" principles may find themselves advaneing,face to face,acroas Europe, from the snows of the Sierra Nevada on one side and those of the Russian steppes on the other. Truly, these are like to be stirring times amidst so many contending influences and interests. A strange sort of circular has just been ad dressed by the Pretender Don Carlos, partly to his " subjects "(!) partly to the "other sovereigns" of Europe! Just as the Spanish people have sent one legitimate ' monarch about her business, and declared that they will never again have anything to do with any of her kith •or kin,- this precious repre sentative of "divine right" talks, with incom parable naivete, about the probability of " God and cir,culastanses '!,placing him on the throne of Spain 1 Be. does not even say "God and la volonti nationals," after the fashion of Napoleon and the Second Empire ! And his chief promise Is ad dressed, not even to,„the people he is so anxious to rule over, but to his future fellow-sovereigns— to whom he is kind enough to say that "he hopes toilve With them on the beet possible terms !^ it hteitiWiis thp Benthons that 'jot,' eveseadvend this son of Don Juan 40_,Bonrbors is worthy, In this respect, of theblcied 'Of all his progenitors. The following telegrath has just been made :public in Paris, received from San Francisco by P. Donohue, of that city, at present on a visit to Paris, and by him communicated to many Cali fornians and other Americans, to their great re lief: "fins Fnexeisco, Oetober 27.—N0 great dam age done; confidence restored, and all happy. [Signed] -"F. MoCoernr, Mayor." leis unnecessary to observe that , the telegram relates to the late earthquake, and, in face of the. accounts from Peru, - has afforded the greatest satisfaction. Competition In political journalism has ran very, high, of late, years la Paris, bat has been: quite ont-done recently by, the effort which finan cial newspapers have made to outstrip each other in public favor. The principal organ of this cha ,meter in Paris, for some time past, was -the Semaine financere, which was generally regarded nitorlighauthorinbjevta conneeted_with - the - money-market - It - was on -- this - account, I presume, that M. Emile de Girardin and one or two other political personages,- who are known to dabble largely in other affairs besides affairs of State, determined to get hold of this publication, and turn it to account for their own Interest. They bedame, ac cordingly, the purchasernof the Seeming Finals dere, and put:out 'a -.flaming. flaming announcement to the effect that whoever desired to have really re liable information as to the value of public, and other Securities ought to look to their pages to obtain it. This, of contse,elccited gteat wrath on the part of shareholders taut speculators whose: interests lay in a different, difection from those of the;new proprietors of the &mains Financier& The former determined to getup afinancial journa of their own, which shonld blow hot • whenever the other blew cold; and vice versa! Accardingly, the Union des Aetionnaires was started 'at a l och' lower price than' the rival paper, mi 274111 PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVE BEft 12, 1368. and a regular conflict began, and has gone on over since, until the other day the Semaine Financiere informed. its readers that whoever sent a franc's worth' of stamps to the office would receive the journal for three months, its original price having been, If I re collect rightly, that sum fora elude number, for it is a large and bulky publication. The Union des iictiannaires, however; wasdetermlned not to be outdone in "generosity ; " and so it announced ' that in future, a "refutation of all the financial views and opinions" of its rival will be "regularly published on the Thursday" (the &make Finan dere appearing on the Saturday); and that the journal " will be forwarded gratis to all who ask for it, for the .space of three months!" Competition can hardly go farther than this; and, indeed, the only advance that can now be made on such terms Is to begin by offering premiums to those who are willing that one or the other journal should be sent to them! The Union des Ac ticmnaires has, indeed, already undertaken some thing of the kind, by sending round to its "sub scribers" a little pamphlet pulling up the value of certain securities against others. Thus it takes the Isthmus of Sues under its special patronage, probably not without a "consideration," and ono ofits last effortsis devoted to convincing the public of the superiority of this investment over every other. The picture is certainly drawn couleur de rose; for not only are Suez shares represented to be safer than every other. but they give a clear interest of 1234 per cent., to say nothing of the pleasure of contributing to the completion of a work which has occasioned so much chagrin to our neighbor, Joholinil, over the way ! AFFAIRS IN SPAIN. Prince Carlos to the European Powers. The following is the text of a communication the young Prince Carlos has addressed from Paris to the various powers of Europe: SIRE: My birth and the actual state of Spain make it a duty on my part to bring to the knowledge of your Majesty the abdication Of my august father. • l'Here comes the text of the abdication. If God and circumstances should place me on the Spanish throne, I shall strive to loyally reconcile the use ful institutions of our epoch with the indispensable ones of the past, leaving to the Geseral Cortes, freely named, the great and dial cult task of endowing my dear country with a constitution which will be, I hope, at the same time Spanish and definitive. The day I shall at tain that honor I shall draw as close as possible my personal relations with your Majesty, and with your nation those of my own people. Re ceive, sire, the assurance of my high consideration. CARLOS DE BORBON Y DE Earn, The Ex-Queen's Character—Spanish Professors—The Ministers of Instruc tion. The Madrid correspondent of the Daily News, ander date of Oct. 28th, say& By several decrees which appear in the Gazette of this morning, an act of justice is done to many learned.and honor able men. Sometime ago ft occurred either to the late Queen or her advisers to rehabilitate her Majesty's damaged character at the expense of the honesty and veracity of the professors of the Spanish Universities. A document was therefore prepared, in which these learned men were made to express the horror and indignation with which they had heard the charges which were being cir culated against her Majesty's morals and good manners, and to declare their entire disbelief in the truth of these imputations. This certificate of character was presented to every professor in Spain, and each one was required, on pain of deprivation, to fix to it his signature. Some men who were without private means, afraid to face the privations which must result from the loss of their positions, yielded to the menace and signed the document. Others, however, who enjoyed a more independent position,or who had more moral courage, resented the indignity which was being offered them, and refused to put their hands to a paper the contents of which did not represent their real opinions. For this of fence they were deprived of their professional chairs; and although they were not exiled from Spain, were compelled to take up their residence in towns at some distance from those in which they had previously resided and where they had discharged their educational functions. By order of the Minister of Public Instruction, all these gentlemen have now been restored to their chairs. Relief for Switzerland. The Emperor Napoleon has sent, through the Marquis de Cozanz, Chargé d'Affaires of France t Berne, a subscription of 20,000 franca (.£800), in aid of the yictims of the recent inundations in d witzerland. Another Velverton Case. A curious action against Major Yelverton,at the instance of his former antagonist,Mrs.Mana The resa Longworth,otherwise Yelverton, was decided by the First division of the Court of Sessions. The lady now seeks to have the judgments of this court and of the Hot se of Lords "reduced"—that is to say. annulled and declared void—on the ground that the Scotch courts had not jurisdic tion to entertain actions in which neither of the parties, was domiciled in Scotland or had 'even had forty days' refildence be fore citation. The Court seemed to .think that, se the lady In the Present action of redac tion appealed' to the same court whose jurisdic tion to decide the former case she was denying, her case amounted. to a contention that it had I not jurisdiction to decide - wrong, but that ft bad jurisdiction to decide rightly and repair that wrong. They, therefore dismissed the action:. The lady, on the other hand, may saz . that fit; -ilecisloirof-Thursdarmanzattairbrim aclinowf edgment that all the judgments in the following action were pronounced by courts without juris diction. GEO. FRANCIS TSAIIV. ited-Uot Manifesto. The London correspondent of the Chicago Evening Journal writes as follows:. I had quite made up my mind not to allude again to our distinguished countryman, George Francis Train, but it is quite impossible to avoid it on this occasion. During his enforced resi dence in the Irish prison he has contrived to issue a little sheet semi-occasionally, called the Train Extra, and the last number contains his farewell address to England. It is supposed, therefore, that be has finally determined to pay the £l,lOO claimed of him, for, unless he does, there is no hope for his release. I enclose the manifesto, and venture to say that since the day when Cad mus first invented letters they were never used for forming such an extraordinary series of words as this document contains. Ic out-Tralns Train; it is spread-eagleism triumphant. Here it is: "A good-by to England. My P. P. C. With the cowardice of thills_and_theent—witee ofthe sneac, the miserable-minions-of-this se base Government, with their infernal Alabama in trigue, have insulted my flag and country, as well as the Irish people through my person, I, George Francis Train, an American citizen, in carcerated in a British bastile for being true to Ireland, do hereby solemnly swear to return to America and demand justice for the Irish race at the bar of the American Congress. No blood hound on die scent, no Indian on the trail, will be surer of his game. With my fingers on the jugular vein of England, so help me God, I will never let go until America becomes American, and Ireland has an Irish flag, over an Irish Re public, free from the damnable injustice of ages. Revenge is wild justice. Ireland shall be re venged. The payment of the Alabama claims and the release of the American citizens has al ready been balanced by the national insult to the Chinese Ambassador, because he happens to be an American. Time will show who =has the most power—the American Minister dining with the British noble, or the American citizen dining with the Irish peasant. ' "Gnonon Fnalicei Team.

[Correspondence of the Philadelphia. Evening ,Balletto.] WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 1868.—1 was present yesterday when General Grant received Mayor Bowen, the City Councilmen and the delegation from the Boys in Blue, in all twelve peen, who called on the President elect to tender him thei r congratulations, and ask him to name a time and place, when they might organize a grand public demonstration of ,the citizens of this District to congratulate him, and at the same time have a grand procession in hits honor. The delegation came in carriages, and after sending their names up by an orderly to the General—(he receives visitors in the second-story front room of his headquarters)—they passed up stairs, followed by a throng of newspaper corres pondents as large as the delegation itself. After. the Mayor and his friends had arranged them selves in a semi-circle around the President, who, i upon their approach, rose, and shook each one cordially by the hand, Mr. Bowen took from his breast-pocket a roll of paper, and commenced reading his address. Grant was in plain citizens' clothes, rather the worse for wear, and stood motionless, holding his lighted cigar between the fingers of his right hand, from which the smoke gracefully curled upward, while Bowen was reading his speech from the paper. Grant looked the orator squarely in the face while the reading was going on, and not a mus cle of his face moved; but I fancied I could de tect a twinkle of sarcasm in his eye as he waited until Bowen had concluded.. Then in a slow, deliberate tone, he told them he desired no pub lic demonstration, and that none should take place with his consent, and if any of his friends wished to call on him, he y would be glad to receive them either at his home or his office, but under no circumstances would he consent to any public display. Then he added, with a slight gesture of dissatisfaction: "All public de monstrations are very embarrassing to me. I feel uncomfortable when I am subjected to them, and shall not consent to them in this instance, or any other, where I can help it." There was a slight tone of severity in his manner, which quickly communicated itself to the delegation, who could not avoid feeling that they had made, a mistake. Be then seated himself, and took one or two puffs at his cigar. At this, Mayor Bowen, who looked the picture of self-dissatisfaction, stepped forward one or two paces, and whispered some thing his low tone to the General, who did not appear pleased with such confidential attentions in presence of the other gentlemen, and he mo tioned Mayor Bowen to a seat, saying: "Please take a seat, sir." The Mayor sat down for an instanthnt he was uneasy, and rose immediately, when the delega tion, after again shaking hands with the Gene ral, retired. There was an air of awkward em barrassment, which made ono feel relieved when the interview was over. The newspaper correspondents remained, and before retiring they shook hands with the Gene. ral, and, congratulated him upon his election. At this impromptu salutation there was no reserve. as thn"press gang" have been In the habit of visiting the headquarters so frequently that Gen. Grant knows nearly every one personally, so he returned their congratulations with great earn estnees and cordiality. CABINET SPECULATIONS. Everybody 'is talking about the Cabinet, and the men who will be invited to take portfolios. The parties named are legion, and it Is scarcely necessary to go over the roll, except to name the probable chances of those mentioned from Pennsylvania. Everybody is in the dark about the matter, as General Grant wisely keeps his own counsel, so we are all compelled to exercise the Yankee privilegeof "guessing" Theim_preasiou prevails that either Judge ielley, ex-Governor Curtin or Hon. John W. Forney will be selected to represent your State. Judge Kelley is men tioned as the probable Secretary , of the Navy, Governor Curtin for the Interior Department, and Colonel Forney as Postmaster-General. These are the speculations thus far about Pennsylvania's share, and it must be conceded that either of the gentlemen named would reflect honor upon the State, but which one will be selected can only be determined by events. The name of Hon. Galosha A. Groot has also teen mentioned, but as he is understood to be a candidate for United States Senator, that may probably withdraw his name from the list, rzintsyzventA ..a.rrourzuntivs. Considerable fluttering was occasioned among Pennsylvania politicians from the fact that Sena tor Cameron and his son, Don Cameron, accom panied the President elect from Harrisburg to this city, on Saturday evening, but,as Senator Cameron is one of the officials of te Northern Central Railroad Company, and probably,deaked to tender to the President elect all proper courte ales due to his exalted station, the fact of his ac companying him here has been fully discussed, and it is conceded that it has no political signifl-: cance. Judge,Kelley, too,, W as hero on Tuesday, and had a king with With Grant, who. treats all his friends with kindnesa and consideration,,eo this visit was ah3o fully commented on, and the' same conclision arrived at as in the case' of Senn tor Cimeron. - Hon.

Forney is also here, and has , been in consultatiopt with-the Pre,sident-elect on political questiona, one of which Was universal suffrage. It is too early yet to say what Grant will do concerning Federal appointments, as no one yet has had the hardihood to , broach the subject to him. The report is that he directed one of his staff officers,Gen. Bodeen, to receive, ell written com munications soliciting offices and destroy them, without submitting them to him; and one corres pondent avers that five hundred such applications were thus sent to the tomb of the Capulets. This is evidently an exaggeration, for one can scarcely credit the story that there are five hundred men in the United States foolish enough to intrude upon him their applications at this time. There fore the story must be received cum grano salis. It is said, however, that one or two parties in Philadelphia have so far forgotten all ideas of propriety as to address him upon such subjects, and it is further asserted that such letters were instantly consigned to the waste-paper basket, without reading. Office-seekers would do well to mane a note of this'and restrain their impatience The candidates for various positions in Phila delphia are beginning to multiply, and in a day' or two I propose to name a few of the most prominent. As soon ,as Congress meets again, they will 'be here in force from a ll parts of_l44_ country, and a lively time may be expected .the coming winter. After that time the ice will be broken, and the earnest efforts of the contestants will be exerted 'for success.

Editor Evening : Last Saturday afternoon, Nov. 7th, a favored number of lovers of music in Philadelphia received an invitation to the Foyer of the Academy, when an opportu nity was afforded them of hearing, for the first time, in America, Mr. Gotthilf Guhlemann, graduate of the Leipzig Conservatory, who per formed in a string Qaartett, Violin Solo, and a Piano Concerto. The matin4e opened with :a string Qnartett, by Haydn, which was played by Messrs. 4. Guhlemann, Wm. Stoll, Jr., Theo. Boettger, and R. Hennig; and was, in every re spect, most satisfactory to the connoisseurs of art, who showed, by their silence and rapt atten tion, how entirely they were in sympathy with the performers, only giving expression to their feelings at the close of each movement, by hearty and well-merited applause. The rendering of this exquisite composition was, remarkably fine, especially In the first three parts. All the delicacy and refinement which Is the distinguishing charm of this great composer, were most , artistically revealed in ,every, minute particular, Whtle the unity of the whole was en tirEly preserved. So perfect was the sympathy of the performers that the crescendos and siscres cendos were expressed as though by one Instra ment, and the , tcmos were woluto •,; ; ; ;; ; ; . The pure intonation throughout and the nnsf fected, traitelni conception, of the whole were re-, markable.. It was pithily to he seen from the performance of, these, four young artiste .that each was animated by a thorough knowledge of and devoted love for his art. This successful beginning must delight those who have been instrumental in bringing. these young artists together in quartette, and mint in- spire all with great hope for the future. , Mr. Guhlemann showed himself a worthy pupil of his famous master David in his able perform ance of the Concerto Milita iro, by Lipinski. The great technical difficulties of this composition were overcome by Mr. Guhlemaran in ,the most masterly manner. In this solo be displayed the greater technical facility and power of tones, but in the encore which followed it, "The Child's Sony," by David, he played in a truly sympa thetic manner and with exquisite purity and sweetness of tone. This satisfactory hour was concluded by the • last two movements of Chopin's Concerts in E minor. In the Romanza, the young artist com bined great delicacy of touch with a truly artistic conception, especially in his remarkable kpato and cantabile playing, while in the Rondo he was distinguished for the elegance and accuracy of his performance which was, however, conceived more in the French than in the German spirit. The orchestral accompainment, arranged for a second plittio, was played by Mr. Boettger, a member of the Quartell. The pleasure which we thus enjoyed on Satur day afternoon, makes us entirely capable of sympathizing with Mr. Gublentann in the satis faction which he must have experienced by the compliment of a reception thus tendered to him, on the eve of his settling among us as a teacher of the piano and violin.
