Witukkeytenart.--- •w.,•
The London correspondent of the N. Y. Tri
bune writes as follows:
- - A - very - Alesperate .* effort' is - xnakin gto bolster
Mr. Reverdy Johnson's Alabama bargain, and 'to
modify American indignation against Mr. John
-son himself. For this purpose the Lairds and
Roebucks keep - ',themselves temporarily in the
background and put forward the workingmen
and Mr. Blight in their pittees. The move is a.
•
defer one, lint it la too transparent to deceive
anybody in America,,nor will oven. the great
name of Mr. Bright do,the "poor service to which
men who hate him and.pa are seeking to put it.
' I fear it is only" too • true that Mr. Bright is
going to the Birmingham dinner, with what. ob
ject it is not difficult to see. For Mr. Bright,
though one of the truest friends of Aaterica, is, '
after all, an Englishman, and looks at the Ala
bama, question from an English . point of
In the interests of both countries he desires a set- ,
rn
tleent, and in the Interest of his °fin he
particularly, desires such a settlement as
Mr. Revenik Johnson' has conceded to
the diplomacy of Lord ,Stanley. To
forward both objects, he is "willing te
ignore the history of Mr.. Johnsen's career itt
England: - Nobody believes that John Bright in
his heart does not 'despise *:Johnson, and the
base arts by which he has sought the favor of "'his'
countri's worst enemies in England. I venture
to predict that he will expend no professions of
rasped for We Asteriettn• Minister at the Birming
ham dinner, or eistintere. _speech His will be
made to promote the Alabama settlement, and
nothing else. I lament, and lam sure his friends
in America will lament, that Mr. Brightt
should, for any purpose, try- to cover so great an
offender with .the hem- of -his shining mantle.
Matters havegone so far that it will not help the
object of his diplomatic charity, and must wound
those whom it is meant to conciliate. But Mr.
Bright's services to America are too splendid to
to be dimmed by one inconsiderate or mistaken
act, the good motive of which no one-certainly
not I—can question. We wlil agree to forget if
as soon as possible.
Nothing has yet appeared equal to the address
of the Birmingham Town Council to Mr. Reverdy
Johnson. In document appears the ripest
fruit of the joint talents of Micawber and Peck
sniff and -Chadband, . and "a host of worthies
hitherto supposed to live only in fiction, but now
eeen to be members of the municipal government
of Birmingham. Elijah Poznan is another of

of another gallery steps, a familiar bat 'gigantic

the great cities todo homage to Ris Excellency,"
congratulated him upon a transaction concluded
by the instrumentality of His Excellency, and
Lord Stanley, which the Burgesses "regard as the
victory of religion and morality enforced by rea
sonoverthe baser feelings of human nature, and
as &glorious proof of the continued advance of
the great principles of truth and justice side by
side with civilization in Ws progress through.
the nations of the earth." The Divine blessing,
the Burgesses inform us, : was bestowed of GI&
upon peacemakers, _ but es they seem to be in
doubt whether the Deity will favor Mr. Johnson
so far, they provide him, ad interim, with a bless
ing of their own. • .‘l3lessed Indeed are the peace-
Makers, wno, by preventing painful estrange
ments, bring together the hands of hesitating
kindred," which "it has been the privilege and
happiness of Your Excellency and Lord
Stanley. to effect"—with much more rhodomon
tade in the same high vein, all given "under one
common corporate seal," and meant to he s wal
lowed, I suppose, seal and all, by American Min
15Ler and, American 'people. 'Perhaps we may
have , a, slight-satisfaction in finding that the
flunkeyism that has humiliated ; us all is not all
on one side, much as we have to regret that an
English manifestation of it shonld come from
Mr. Bright's constituents.
The Cadiz Insurrection—How it Was
stopped—The Damage Done to the
City—The Government Troops Re
ported to Have,lieen Beaten.
LONDON, Dec. 16,1868.—The special despatches
winch were forwarded froM Cadiz under date of
December 10, were detained in transmission. The
couriers were stopped on the road and held the
length of time specified. The despatches describe
fully the situation of affairs at that time, and
state that the government troops were badlybeaten
in their encounter with the insurgents. While
the fight was , progressing, Captain Farrell, the
American Consul. is said to have mounted one of
the barricades in Uniform, and holding the Ame
rican flag in his hand, he called upon both par
ties to stop the struggle and put an end to blood
shed. The fight was shortly after brought to a
close and hostilities ceased. Numerous buildings
throughout the city bear evidences of the
struggle, and the bullet marks on the houses tell
plainly of the fierce character of the con
test. The City Hall was badly shattered by
cannon shots. The vessels in the bay are filled
with people departing for other and more quiet
localities. The government troops are reported
to have been guilty of excesses and plundered
some of the many deserted houses. A number
of English and American tourists were arrested
by the military authorities; but were slab
ecquently released through the interposition of
the American Consul, who, on their release, were
forwarded to Gibraltar. The Comes private
residence was the resort ci people of all national
ties, who fled there for protection.
The insurgents loudly proclaimed in favor of a
republic and cheered loudly for America. They
also declared if the city was bombarded they
would ask that the country be annexed to the
United States.
Effect of the Suppression of the Cadiz
Insurrection—Subscriptions to the
New Loan Closed.
MADRID, Dec. 16, 1868.—The leaders of all the
political parties have united in making a solemn
pledge to use all their influence to preserve peace
and order throughout theconntry until the Con
stituent Cortes has met and settled the questions
at issue.
The prompt and effectual suppression of the
reyolt at Cadiz has greatly strengthened the
hands of the provisional government and has
dissipated the alarm which previously prevailed.
The Minister of Finance has already commenced
the payment of the January interest on the pub
lic debt in London and Paris.
The popular subscriptions to the new loan
have been closed. They amount to 600,000,000
reale ($25,000,000), the amount asked for by the
Minister. -
It is officially announced that the election of
the Cuban deputies to the Cortes will be held im
mediately after the arrival of Captain-General
Dolce at Havana.

Capt. E. F. Nye, of the wbaleshlp . .

".About the end of January or the'firat of Feb-
ruary, 1868, the Prussian bark Cayaitil, sailing ,
under American colors, left Callao' the principal
port of Peru,for,...Arequipa. distf:at/ about two
days' sail, with a cargo of fifty coolles,which had
just bees imported from China,in the French ship

coolies, who was also owner of the vessel and , of
a sugar _estate .in ;Peru, was on board. , :.He: bad'
just purchased these laborera for his pinata

rice and :c 0004 $20,000 • ~1n with

the first oflicex were in their berths asteep, out
were soon aroused by the noise. On, seeing the
vessel In •possession of the.coolies they threw
some benches out of the cabin window and then
jumped out, intending to save themselves by
swimming ashore. The .pirates pirates lowered a boat,
pplled.for theeaptain and mate, and killed them,

the ship, took the crew, nine in number consisting
of Americans,. Portuguese and Spaniards ,, tied •
them each band and foot, and lashed them all to,
a hawser. They then fastened• an. anchor to• the
hawser, and threw the whole overboard. Of
course tke anchor sank, carrying the men with
it to the bottom, and they were ,drowned: 'The •
owner, Mr, Baracondegni, who is well connected
in Lima, was left in, the cabin with his servant a
faithful Chinaman, -who had been with him
many years. He was armed with revolvers,
and, seeing his weapons, the pirates feared to
molest him. The servant boy then interceded
with them to spare his• own ~ and his master's
lives, which they agreed to do on. condition that
be would deliver up his weapons to there. This:
be did after some delay, evidently ' having
some misgiving about their honesty. They
then put.the vessel •about and ran off before
the.southeast trades, in a northwesterly
course for China. • There were four - or five ring
leaders in the gang, but none appear _to Wore

the 23d of April, and "came, to anchor off,' the
"Sand Spit," in ,the Northeast Gulf, on _the west
shore of the Kamschatka Peninsula. Here they
took the owner and his servant ashore, and al

The Accident on the Nor U Central
Railroad.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says:
The accident alluded to yesterday as having
occurred on the Northern Central Railway,below
this city, was caused by an engine running with
out orders southward, corning in contact with
the passenger train northward.. The engine had
been in the service of the paymaster, and was re
turning southward, the engineer expecting to
reach York in tame to pass the paesenger
train. Mr. Lewis, the fireman, was putting fuel
into the furnace at the time of the collision, and
the sudden jar threw him headlong into the fire.
He was moat horribly burned, and of course died
before he could be drawn from the bed of coals.
Mr. Enney, the engineer, had some of his ribs
broken, and sustained a number of severe bruises.
The engine in their charge was completely
wrecked. That attached to the passenger train
was not seriously damaged. Its engineer was
slightly injured. How all the passengers escaped
unharmed seems to be miraculous.
