It is hie design, it appears, to open on Monday next the large Brown-atone Building (formerly occupttd by Homer, Colladay & Co.) as an estab lishment for merchant tallorin2; and the sale of a more tban ordinarily fine class of ready-made clothing. Men have expressed all kinds of opinions in. reference to it. Borne have said at once, "It is a good thing—sure to be a success;" others have said, "We aopo it may succeed, but it's a big undertaking for a young man, and be cause a man can do some things and do them well, is no proof that he can Jo everything," still others have already, predieted,eome mournfully and some joyfully, the utter failure of the whole under taking. We have frequently been asked our own opinion in the matter, and we freely answer that we see no reason why the enterprise should not be, oven a larger success than the immense busi ness which Mr. Wenamaker has already built up. Mr. W. is not the man to fly in the face of the popular sentiment, and knows fall well the value of the judgment of other men In matters of busi ness; but at the same time ho understands well enough the many influences that may lead even candid and judieloutimen to look with doubts upon such An extensive enterprise. And having for ten years carefully studied the clothing trade of Philadelphis,.he is supposed to know better perhaps than any other man in our community just what is our great want in that direction. He certainly brings every advantage of capital, experience,.reputation and efficient assistance to the outcome; and with one tithe of the energy and ceaseless . application which have , char atterized his business career. heretofore, there is po poselpility of any want, of success on Chestnut +street.

JOHN RODGERS, See'y EUROPEAN i&FFILIRS LETTER FROM PARIS [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Btdietitul PARIS, Friday, March 19, 1869.—We have bad news from Spain this morning. The population of Xeres de la Frontera aro compromising the reputation which the Spanish people has won for Mar lately in the eyes of the world by Its pa tient, quiescent attitude during a species of inter regnum, and even through the excitement of an election, when the principle of universal suffrage came into operation for the first time, after a long period of despotism. A. people, it was said, which could so conduct Itself, under such circumstances, must be fitter for freedom than was generally supposed, and not very difficult to govern under one form or another. I trust they are not now going to lose the good opinion they have gained. No doubt Royalist agents of the fallen dynasty are at work amongst the inflammable populations of the South, and Andalusia is said to be in a state of high excitement. The chiefs at headquarters are much to blame for this. Whlle they are dis cussing candidates and personal pretensions and Influences among , themselves, the country is left without a stable government. The bane of the Spanish chiefs is their restless and Insatiable personal ambition and miserable vanity. They are all afraid of giving the country a ruler, lest they should at the same time give themselves a master, and each wishes to make himself indispensable to the new Goiernor, whoever he may be. If this state of things be much longer continued, it will result in anarchy,and finally end in the usual European remedy of a return to despotism. Per haps the events now taking place may open the < yes of the present rulers to the inevitable consequences of prolonging their own selfish contentions, and to the necessity of placingsome one at the head of the Government who shall be at med with the authority of the national will. I wish I could see American influences, taking as firm hold of Spain as they are doing of this coun try. But I fear it will be long before "Con terencee" on the "Life and Death of Abraham Lincoln" will be impregnating the Spanish masses with ideas of liberty, duty and patriotism, in the way I recently described them as doing here. These Conferences, by the way, are growing more and more in popular favor, and becoming quite the rage in Paris. Jules Fevre is announced o speak at one of them on Sunday next, in the Hall of the Prince Imperial; and long ago every seat was disposed of, and twenty franca are being demanded for the two-franc tickets. The eovernment has unwittingly opened apath to the popular leaders which perhaps it little intended. Comparatively few of the people could hear Jules Favre's speeches in the Chamber, or read them in the Official Journal. But it is a very different thing when such an orator has a chance of addressing an audience of three or four thousand of such of his fellow citizens as ant / willing to pay ten cents to hear him. By ttgye means the people are becoming imbued with a train of ideas entirely antagonistic to the government under which they are living. The subject chosen by Jul 6 Fevre for his public speech the day after to-morrow sounds innocent enough, and "quite unpolitical." It is the "Love of One's Profession." But M. Jules la an artful dodger, and I am much mistaken if he does not manage to inculcate to his hearers a "love" of something beim asides, and leave them very much "out of love" with their present thraldom. 1 mentioned recently Mignet's "Life of Frank lin," as a work which was becoming rapidly popularized in this country. My old and estima ble friend , M. Emile de Bonnechose, brother of the eminent and eloquent Cardinal do Bonne chose, Archbishop of Rouen, has just kindly sent me two of his valuable publications, which I think many American readers will thank me for making known to them. The first is a "History of England," in four octavo volumes; a work of the highest merit, both as regards style and mat ter, to the composition of which the author has devoted no fewer than twelve years of his life, and respecting the centents of which I know i hat Alacaolay himself said he "had learned much from them;" and to the style of which the French Academy set its highest mark etf approbation by awarding to it the triennial prize of literary merit. My motive for caili:g attention to it is two-fold: First, it is written with great purity of diction, and is therefore an excellent study of the French language. But more than this: English "history" is, of course, always interesting to American readers, being in fact only the begin fling of their own. But the same cannot always perhaps be predichted , of English - historians," whose views, especially in certain and more recent portions of the narrative, may not improbably differ widely from those held in the United States. In this point of view the value of a good History of England, written by a foreigner,ia very great; for,says M. de Bonnechose in his preface, "I reproduee indeed what I have judged to be most authentic and well-founded in the English historians; but then I reproduce it without that alloy which the religious and politi cal passions of the country have too often mixed up with it." Herein, then, lies the excel lence of M. de Bonnechose's History in the estimation of non-English students, and a good ground of preference on the part of America. A few words must suffice for the other publication of the same author which I have alluded to. It is a work especially in tended for the young, and as such is largely used in the French Lycees, or Public Colleges of the State, and has recently as I have heard, been in troduced into the programme of middle class ed ucation, and into the newly instituted examina tions for female diplomas in England. It is a Sacred History, or what the French term a Precis of iblical, history, present ing the whole of e • stinted narrative with a unity and consecutiveness not - to be found in the original, and thus impressing it thoroughly upon the mind and memory. It is, in short, an admirable Bible school-book, by no means in tender) to supercedo the Sacred volume itself but a great assistance towards mastering its con tents. las heartily wish I could see the young countrymen of M. de Benriechose profit more extensively by his excellent volume, tis I can r . , commend it with confidence to American parents and teachers. • One of the most frightful explosions on record has just taken place here on the premises of the MM. Fontaine,. manufacturing 'chartists, in the Place de la Sorbonne. Four individuals in :the laboratory had been inspecting a quantity of picrate of potassium, a liquid of tremendous ex. plosive power, used for torpedoes, and about to be sent to Toulon. It is not known whether the 'ignition took place by A spark Ot, tram a alight • PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1869. shock. 'But the effect was awful. The bodies of the four principal victlids seem to have been literally shattered to pieces, and wore found sticking in bits among the neighboring trees and on the fronts of houses.. A shoe was found at a great distance, containing three toes; and a hand with a ring on ,the finger was all the means left of identifying the eon of one of the proprietors. The details are harrowing. Some fifteen or twenty other persons were Injured, but not killed,by the flying projectiles; and every window In the square emsehea to-atoms, as well as one of magnificent painted glass, in the College of the Sorbonne. ENGLAND. Terrible Colliery Accident—Supposed Death of Vbirteen Miners. English journals of the 18th contain thrilling accounts of a dreadful colliery accident. From one of the London papers we extract the follow mg account of the disaster: On the morning of the 17th one of the most senous colliery accidents which ever occurred in the lit olverhampton district happened at the Earl of Dudley's No. 29 Pit, Wallows Colliery, Lock's Inne,Brierly bill. Suddenly,and in the middle of the night,the water burst into the pit,where there were ten men, three boys and six horses at work; and it is believed that every life has been lost. On Tuesday evening he doomed men and boys descended the lit to work a night turn. The No. 27 pit is situated in Lock's lane near the great water-ptunping.engine—the strong est 'by far in the district—and within a few feet of the road; while at its rear is the trough pumping engine, and the winding en gine of the pit itself is also in close proximity. Biuntlyafter one o'clock in the morning the en gineer of the great water-pumping engine ob served a great rush of vapor up the pit shaft. This must have been caused either by an inten tional setting fire to a quantity of petroleum by the men as a signal that something was wrong. or by the rush of water over the lights in the pit and a huge fire at the bottom used for purposes f ventilation; but at such an hour it was easily mistaken for the effect of a fire In the pit. The engineer at once communicated with his brother tender at the winding engine, and . 00th, in company with a banksman and doggy, proceeded to the pit shaft. Two men coura geously volunteered to descend and ascertain what was the matter. The engine was set in mo .ion and the two men were lowered. Two or three strokes of the engine brought them into collision with the water, which was high up the shaft. They immediately cried out that it was water and cot tire; but before the engine could bo reversed they were plunged ten or eleven feet into the water. When the men returned to the surface messen gers were sent out for the Earl of Dudley's agents in the district, and a very short time saw them standing round the shaft, discussing what had test be done. The great water-engine was set to work at the rate of nine strokes a minute, instead of five or six ; the trough pumping engine was sot into gear and at once commenced to work, and a barrel instead of a skip was attached to the end of the pit-rope. The whole of these arrange ments were made at water and the rate of 250 tons per hour was rabietitrom the pit; but such was the force of the erement that at twelve o'clock, noon, the water had only sunk about sixteen inches down the shaft. About half past three o'clock Mr. J. P. Baker, the Inspector of Mines for the district, came to the mouth of the pit. The sinking of the water had been carefully registered. &roebuck on America. Mr. Roebuck, in a speech at Leeds, alluded to international affairs in the following terms : As we find in the Ministry an Inclination to knuckle down and to prostrate themselves before the Pope in national matters so we find that in international re lations they are inclined to bow down and prostrate themselves before the power of America. We are delighted to see that great people, but we don't de. etre to see their feet upon our necks. Depend upon it that whatever they do, whatever they say, to con ciliate the people of America, they are determined pot to be conciliated. and no prostration on our part will satisly them. They are determined to be donn cent on toe earth, and, if they can, they will be. The only chance of our opposing the Americans is to op pose them now. The time has gone past when we could have opposed them more easily—l MAD the time when I proposed it to Lord Palmerston. De. 1-end upon it. If you don't take the present opportn uity, the time is not tar distant when they will prepare to place their feet on our necks,and when we mast fol low in the train of the United States. Now, I was thought a very dan g erous person when I asked Lord Palmerston—not bhis hall,but in the old room of the Cutlers' Company—to acknowledge the Southern States of America; bat what has occurred only very recently in Congress? You know that Cuba is just sow in rebellion against Spain.and at the present mo ment there is a motion in the Congress of the United stiles referred to a committee, and proposing to ac knowledge the Wand of Cuba as a free State. Surely, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If it would have been wrong for us 10 acknowledge the Southern States under the peculiar circumstances in which they were placed how can it be right for America to acknowledge the Cuban people who are not at all equal in social status to the South n States? But we all know the difference between what is permitted to a great gentleman and what Is permitted to a small gentleman. The United States may do what they like, but poor England. wretched England, can't be permitted to acknowledge as a tree State a State that has a legislature, an army, and vic tory in the field. My political testimony, then, on all hese points ie, beware of trade unions, beware of Irishmen, and beware of the United States of \ merica. These three things include the future of England. Elengions Blots in England. On Friday Light, the 19th, Mr. Murphy, the ,otorions anti-Catholic lecturer, al)pearect at the tidd Fellows Hall, North Shields, England, with c intention of delivering a lecture. The hull crowded in every part. It Is said that 200 limb Roman Catholics, who had come from Jarrow, armed with bludgeons and iron slags, attended. These Irishmen attacked the lecturer and the audience. The seats in the hall were torn up and used in defence. Several men were Injured severely. As the police and special con gables were not able to restore peace the military were called out and placed under the direction of the Mayor and the magistrates. Great excite went prevailed throughout the city. JUDGE DARNAUD AND THE PA 4311F1U RAILROAD. • he “Safe Blowing” Excursion—A, Good 6 .Blosoling-Up” for the Ile- ccivtr• It will be recollected that Judge Barnard, of New York,destring to procure certain documents, ordered the safe of the Union Pacific Railroad Company to be bloWn open. The Herald gives this account of the undertaking : At half-past twelve o'clock everything was tranquil in the magnificent black-walnut-far niehed offices of the Union Pacific Railway Com pany, in Nassau street. A few gentlemen on business whisked briskly into and out of the of fiat,' and the clerks were leaning on closed books and holding confabs in groups of two or three In various parts of the room. At the back of the apartment an ornamentally frosted glass partition divides a portion of the space from oho main room, and the floor is covered with green carpeting. A handsome walnut table, covered with a white cloth and bearing a number of dishes containing roast chicken and other delicacies, was surrounded by several dignified gentlemen, officials of the company and attor .nevs, and the clink of silver-rotated forks and knives would have induced the belief. in a blind man that he had been ushered into a down town dining saloon. On a green leather covered lounge near the door leading from the passageway sat a deputy sheriff and a "pal," both engaged in a social "thin," with legs crossed and hands thrust deep into their pantaloons pockets. Patently a tall, dapper individual entered the office with a brisk step, accompanied by a shorter, .but equally dapper,•yOung man from the `f3herift's ''arta hard-fisted, smutty-faced man, With a atonal/8d hat, whose appearance pro., OUR WHOLE COVNTRY. claimed hits an artificer in the baser metals. `The tell gentleman turned to and addresaed the two 'gourmets,: who both assumed at once a very acute atff official appearance, and the deputy prcduced from his breeches pocket a small, insig nificant looking, irregularly shaped piece of meted,'Which is dignified with the appellation of a safe key, and handed it to his in ,errogator, William •M. Tweed, Jr.,_ the Receiver of the Company. Mr. Tweed walked around the glass enclosure, behind the desks, followed by the smutty-faced man and the deputies, to a small recess, the rear otwnich was blocked by a massive iron door. The 'artificer took the key and wriggled it in the keyhole. arid a grand concentration of clerks, idlers and others instantly took place around the scene of opera tions. The Buie key "ticked" and "Snipped" in the lock and as suddenly the clinking of knives and forks in the ante-room ceased. A tall, gen tlemanly looking man came at a brisk paee from the lunch-room, wiping his lips with a napkin, and, with a mouth full of food, the mastication of which bad not been fully completed, said in a erut voice: "Mr. Tweed, by what authority do you attempt to open that safe?" Mr. Tweed replied that he acted under author ity of the Supreme Court. -"Then," said Mr. Barlow, "I give you notice that you are a trespasser here and liable to ar •es .. I will permit no one to interfere with that sere." The crowd grew excited and grinned. Mr. Tweed said he was simply obeying the in struction of the Supreme Court, and the expert changed his position and gave the key another wriggle. • Mr, Barlow give everybody present notice, whether they were deputy sheriffs or burglars, that they were trespassers, and desired , them to leave under pain of being arrested and field per sonallyresponsible. t Mr. 'Tweed intimated mildly that he did not thinktbere were any burglars present, and Mr. Barlow replied that he_ did not suppose there were; but he understood that Judge Bar nard bad said that the safe was to be opened even if burglars had to be set to do it. The bpstanders snickered, and thought there wee a good joke somewhere. Mr. Tweed, made a sotto voce remark, and Mr. Barlow said the Supreme Court hadrio authority to order the safe to be opened, as there was no suit pending before that Court in which such an order could be made. Mr. Tweed—Since when? Mr. Barlow—Since its removal into the United States Court. The "expert" rattled the key again, and, turn ing to Mr. Tweed, said, "I can't open that lock with the key." A gray bearded gentleman peered over Mr. Barlow's shoulder, and hesitatingly suggested that the name of the man who was working at the lock should be taken. "The man" - quit "working" instanter. Mr. Tweed asked him it he couldn't pick the lock. and the artificer replied, "That lock can't be picked; it's an 'old Britton' lock. Yon want . thumbecrews to open it." . No one present had "thumbscrews," and if they - had would not have produced them for fear of having them applied by the determined Mr. Barlow to their own persons. Mr. Barlow notified all hands that they were trespassets and that no more attempts should be made to .open that safe. The-"trespassers" began to move shuWingly towa dra the door and Mr. Tweed remarked that no atte mpt would be made, as the workman had sung 'need that he could not open the door. The texts/41cm Bagged, and the men dropped one by one from the office, leaving the premises as tran quil as they found them and the officials to finish their lunch. 'ME RETURN TO TEE COERT. At one o'clock the various counsel and parties re-assembled in the court-room, and a good deal of smirking was observable. Judge Barnard entered and took his seat, and Mr. Tweed approached him and handed him a paper, which document the court signed. Judge Barnard then announced that as he had been informed by the receiver that he had been unable to open the safe with the appliances at his command, the case would have to stand over. Meantime a formal order had been drawn direct ing the receiver to take such means as would open the safe, as it was believed that it could be opened without injuring it. No doubt some of the safemakers could devise a means. The case was then adjourned until eleven o'clock to-morrow morning, and counsel, "tres passers" and all left the court. Blowing Expedition So.g—The “Blow. logy , 'lnterrupted by Another Ex Paine Order. Mr. Tweed, the receiver, went during the after noon to the company's office again, and com menced to open the safe, when hetwas served by Mr. Clark Bell, attorney for the company, with an order granted by Judge Roaekrana, staying all proceedings under the order so made by Judge Barnard, the company having taken an appeal from the order made by Mr. Justice Barnard, and filed security approved by Judge Rosekrans, who stayed Fisk's proceedings under Judge Barnard's order until the decision of the appeal to be made at General Term. There will doubtless be some interesting devel opments at eleven o'clock to-day. • The Tribune says: The bedy which was dis covered on Sunday last floating in the water near the Elysian Fields, with a knife plunged in the bean, has at last been identified as that of Frede rick Wesser, an Austrian nobleman. The face was recognized last evening by Mr. August Schmeditz,formerly the proprietor of St. George's Hotel, at the corner of Third and Hudson streets, Hoboken. That gentleman, in company with a reporter, visited the office of the undertaker, Mr. Parslow, "Where the body has been kept :ince its discovery, last evening. From the de scription which Mr. Schmeditz saw In the news papers, he surmised that the corpse was that of bib former friqnd, and upon seeing the face he pot-ltively identified the features as those of Count Wesser. The recognition of the face and the de velopment of the facts which were related by Mr. sehmeditz will without doubt furnish a satisfac tory clue to the murderer. Wesser came to this country in 1866 from Austria, where he belonged to one of the noblest and poorest families of the country to which ho belonged. He had led a life of dissipation and recklessness at home, and came to this country, it is bald, to escape the consequences of some of his imprudent acts. When he landed he was penni less, and being wholly unfitted for physical or mental labor, be was, during his residence here, the foot-ball of fortune, and a reckless adven turer. Ile found a friend in Schmeditz, and was ()tiered a situation by the latter in his hotel. He accepted the offer, and for nearly a year acted in the capacl'y of clerk and bartender in St. George's lintel.. While residing there he became ac quainted with a German citizen of Hud son City, and frequently visited at his house. He is said to have , become Intimate with the lady, of the hone°, antra desper ate conflict took place at last between Wesser and the husband of the lady; but, although the latter was severely hurt no serious consequence resulted, other than a deadly enmity between the two men. The husband and wife soon separated, and Wessor subsequently married the woman, living with kor until - Friday morning last. Her residence 'was not known by Mr. Schmedltz,but he remembered, fully the circumstances of Wesser's acquaint ance with her, as they were ,told him by Abe latter. .The hotel la which Wessel: had bOen,em uloyed was sold a few weeks ago, and since that' time ho had been oat of employment.

The second section has all that part stricken out which pro vides that in case the Senate refuse to as sent to any such suspension, the officer so suspended shall, at the end of the next session of Congress, resume the tune- Lions of the office; and in lien of this the Con ference report provides that the President then, and not otherwise, shall nominate, as early as practicable, some person to fill the office from which the officer has been suspended. The third section of the Tenure-of-Office act is amended so as to permit the President to till during the recess any offices which may become vacant from resignation or expiration of the term of office. Mr. Bingham explained the conference report to the House and urged that it be adopted. Gen. Butler followed,taking the same view,and said that the Senate amendment was so modified as to prevent the Senate reinstating an officer if they did not agree to his suspension, and this was satisfactory to him. The debate which followed upon the report was participated tn . by Messrs. Logan, Lawrence Allison, Davis and others. Mr. Niblack (Derr.), of "firdiiina, said he could not fo.low their old leader, Gen. Butler, any longer, and must therefore dissolve partnership with him The Democrats had enlisted under his leader ship on this question, but now he had forsaken them, and agreed to a hermaphrodite proposition which possessed neither color or sex, and they therefore reluctantly withdrew from his firm, with expressions of grave doubts as to whether they could ever trust him again. Mr. Davis said the Conference report was 'not well understood by the members, and being a very grave Question, he hoped the subject would go over until to-morrow, to give members an op portunity to examine IL Mr. Butler refused to yield the floor to allow the motion to be made. Means. Poland and Logan both considered the conference report as a virtual repeal. Mr. Butler called the previous question, which was seconded, and the report was agreed to by a vote of les eves to 67 nays, the Democrats all going against it.
