This journal, ifponducted hereafter according to the pattern Of i the first number, will match a vacancy that we have long been sensib*ol. 'l',he Episcopal Church has long , wanted an organ that could compete in literary ability and. praCtical intelli gence with the able, but more and more hetero dox Reviews of the period. This new paper begins in a tone of manly, pions good sense which gives every promise of a weighty and in fluential career. , The specimen number lying before us has a fine- defence of Christianity againat Positivism, which we may attribute,from — t - h - e - r?ri - titirdiflitlilibTftrat; E.

Wm. A.. Mtiblentierg, Rev. 'Phillips Brooke, Rev. Dr. Henry C. Pottcr,and a number of writers equally distinguished for ability, cultivation and moral worth. The Living Church promises to be a live embatant among the tremendortaforees of posi• tivism and utilitarianism on the one side, and the insinuating jesuitry and showy formalism of the day, on the other. The enecireen we see is a. practical example of the plan which.the con ductors have sketched out for themselves in the following terms: "The coihmtus of the Living Church will be open, Isith n dueobounds, to the manifold questlona_af cal criticism. doctrinal, and Church history, and wor ship. It wilt strive to give the Ideas and principles that lie at the basis of a positive Christianity, with a generous allowance of any truth even in partial sys 'ems ; to find harmony between Revelation and sci ence; and atm at the rare excellence of-defending the enure of Christ against error with candor , and good temper. As it is more than an ecclesiastical organ, it may freshen oar Christian literature by contribu tions from able pens in England - and the Cuutinent, ne well as at home, Bat above all, It is sent - forth in the - hearty hope that it may meet the practical add 'social probtema of Christianity at this day, and prove the reality of the Kingdom of God in its virerk." • The Living Church, _a handsomely-prnited folio of 16 cream.oolored_pages,issues on the first Thursday of each month, from 633 Broadway, N.

A 'further discussion of the condition and prospects - of the freedmen took place, the resolutions previously reported were' adopted, and the thirty-sixth annual meeting was finally brought to a close. The steamer Quaker City, which still ties at the toot of Twelfth street, East river, was searched by three or four United States Deputy Marshals, but nothing contraband was found upon her. Her name has been changed to the Columbia: and her destination is supposed to be Rio. Janeiro. A meeting of the Pacific Slopers in this city was held at the Astor House yesterday, for the purpose of congratulating one another. on the completion of the Pacific Railroad.

[ILE GREAT AM E RIGAN E E EATER. Reverdy Johnson to be Dpied and Witten upon his Return front ,Eng land. The Washington correspondent of the Herald sap:: A few men of the last century are busy making arrangements here for a big dinner to Reverdy Johnson on his return from England. They pro pose to make 1,6 really a big thing—big in price, big in the quantity and quality of attendancd, and big in culinary ammunition. It is said a Importation of English roast beef and plum pudding, with lots of British beak, son know, will , be made specially for this groat prandial occasion. The ancient committee haV tag the matter in charge, are doing their best to got the heaviest subscriptions from people with the heaviest purees. Ono gentleman who was asked to come down handsomely to-day,remarked, "Oh yes, I'll subscribe liberally, seeing that Roverdy has had few good dinners lately, and therefore will be in good • trim for .digesting one when he gets here."

The New,York Tribune assumes that the report of an alliance between England, Franco and Spain is correct, and says The coalition is at once a confession of weak ness and a prophecy of defeat. It is felt at length In Eu,rope that all America north of the Isthmus of gravitates toward us with a force that cannot long be resisted. There is not an Acre of land between Hudson's Bay and Nicaragua that would not be sensibly Increased in value by the incorporation of the country whereof it is part into our Union. There is no outlying district that would not confidently expect .a speedy increase of its population, its industry; and its wealth, if it were this day annexed-to the United States. "The stars in their courses" are stronger than any dynastic coalition, as the future will show. The N. Y. Times scoffs at the story: yesterday between seems that the "triple alliance" of yesterday between England, France and Spain against this country, did not frighten anybody either here or in Europe. Even the ever-senaitive gold market did not feel the sensation. On the contrary, the price of gold fell, and the market was weakened in. Wall street, while in Europe the price, of Ame rican securities rose one per cent. on a strong market These would be remarkable phenomena, and altogether inexplicable, if there were - any ground for apprehension, on either side of the sea, of war between Europe and America, or of a triple alliance between the Governments of Eng land, France and Spain against oar Government. The N. Y. Sun says: We have read in history of strange alliances, hbly and otherwise; but surely the one now re ported would, both in its component elements and in its tendencies, be the most paradoxical on record—Napoleon allied to a country which to -day-can be preserved from chaos solely by a re publican system of government, and England supporting ,the supremacy of a rule in Cuba which has cost her by reason of violated con tracts, millions of pounds sterling annually. If true,which we are inclined to doubt, this re port is the proof and the confession of great weakness on the part 9f the alleged allies. myl3 2t rp• THE FELLING Jut 'WASHINGTON: No Trouble reared by the Go!Timmons ire - Washinginn - correapotident 'of the Herald says: The cable telegrams published in some of the New York papers yesterday.to the effect that England, France and Spain had formed an alli ance pledged to resist the supposed ,forelgn pol icy of the United States, meets with little credence titre in official circles. It is regarded by some . imply as a rumor thrown out to feel the Ameri can pulse on the subject of a tripartite alliance, end by others as a pure invention of the news sensationalists or the gold speculators, both •of K bleb cl am orers generally manage to make some thing out of these highly interesting canards. Mr. Fish, with whom your correspondent had ‘in interview this evening, takes no stock in the cable telegram whatever. He regards It as a Aockjobbing, gold gambling job, put up by un -cruptdons parties on this aide withiPeir cerres pondeataort-the_other sidecif the water to excite the market. These parties have taken advan tage of the feeling known to exist in England, crowing out of Senator Sumner's speech on the Alabama claims treaty. Any alliance of the character indicated between England, Franca and_ Spain Nfr wish regards not only asAmprobable„. but, under all the elrecunstances,as absurd. In the first place, the present administration has not declared any foreign policy except the general net of protecting its citizens and their interests 1 parts of the-worid.—There is nothing par :: milady new in this, and nothing that-coal::: - 6ibly excite either the opposition or the envy of tiny foreign Power. But even supposing England and France were disposed to enter into_an_alliance such as stated with Spain. Mr. Fish is of opinion that neithar of the parties concerned could very well afford to do it. England has her hands " full already, and her peculiar territorial relations in America would make her hesitate before entering upon hostilities with the United States. This, together with the discontt nted and hostile element in Ireland at her own door, would act as a partial ebeck at least upon England. France, Mr. Fish thinks, will be slow to enter into any such alliance while Bismarck lives:and Prussia stands among the first, if not,the first power in Europe. As for Spain, she can do nothing. Such a proceed ing, in the opinion of the Secretary of State. would i give Jise to a general war in Europe, t r.d In a reconstruction of the map of Europe. Prussia would take care of France, while Russia would inevitably walk down to Constantinople and settle the Eastern question ' in her own way. Spain would lose Cuba in about seventy-two hours. Theie facts, Mr. Fish s•tvs, must be as clear to the statesmen of Europe as they are to every. thinking man in this country, dnd makes the le telegram an absurdity. The State Depart m&Oeit has no advices from Minister Reverdy Johnson on the subject, whiclr,.ltcrsly the least, is suspicious. To be sure Reverdy is rather heavy after his numerous dinners, but he could hardly fail to be apprised of so important a matter; nor Would he be likely to - be so negligent or nu- Tatriotic as not to advise his government of it. Thesetviews of the Secretary of State are shared by Senator Sumner and all the members of the Cabinet.. Whatever may be lie feeling elsewhere in the country there is no trepidation here at the cable telegram. A Crisis Imminent—General Dissatls- 4 faction—Devolution Ltampant. -- MEXICO, Thursday, April 29, 1869.—When ,Juarez announced triumphantly in the halls of :Congress that the reiolution obNegrete bad been subdued and vanquished in eighteen hours, he t ' t(o.d. - arVery.big•falsehoo aS regarding fife van quishinent • of Negre , who roams from r settlement to settlement and • hacienda 'to town very much at ' his pleasure. To complicate affairs more, civil war has again bro ken ont in the State of Guerrero, and - fights have taken Dlacent Ayntla, Tecucuapa, Dos Arroyos, ' Tulancingo and Costa Grande. Acapulco was re-occupied by the insurgents on the 16th inst., ( and all communication cut off with the interior. • The pretext for this movement is the imposition of taxes; the real cause is the shortness of funds , among the outeiders,who are starving from want of opportunities to plunder the Treasury . or the people. Whether the severe law enacted against kid nappers and bandits will change the aspect of of • fairs is very doubtful. The Diario (official) says: "Congress has already issued the law relative to:robbera and kidnappers. Severe as It is, it is believed that it will completely eradicate the evil proposed to be attacked, and that public tran ' guiltily will, before long, be restored throughout the country." And then continues to •siate that "The mass of citizens has given a favorable reception of said law. The opposition Press, on this account, _pas redoubled its attacks on the Executive, but public opinion condemns the an tagonistic spirit and iPsulting language of the am bitious, and approves the enactment of energ, tic , laws bringing about the pkace of the Republic, I guaranteeing the interests of all." But this explanation of the` iario is not the true one; there is a general dissatisfaction with . the Government, and this feeling is increasing ;throughout the' Republic, and a generallevolu tion is hourly, looked for. A severe political struggle is on hand, and the Opposition is pre paring to meet the issue at any sacrifice, and has already issued a large quantity of campaign papers. • The Government is seriously alarmed at ( the prospect, and is buying up the leading Oppo-' sition men;bet ides bringing all of ips,patronage •beit tarntr thfrelebtibns. ' • The authorities in the capital are anxiously looking toward Washington to, learn President Grant's policy toward Mexico. The party in power are circulating the impression that Grant will maintain Juarez and Lerdo in. power by wilitiry coercion. , OUR WIIOLE COUNTRY. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1869. Opinion. of thOPress MEXICO. POLITWCi INDECENCY. The `llCrumble for the lilharshalship. The Boston Advertiser contains this sensible article; , - The disgraceful scramble for the place of Mar-, dial of 'Eastern Pennsylvania, which began the : other"day before Mr. Ely, the late incumbent, was fairly in his coffin, and went on in Philadel phia and Washington simultaneously with the , preparations for his burial, was after all no now thing under the sun. • • Nearly silty years ago, the elder Quincy in his speech on "Placeand Patronage" said:— "Let one of your great officeholders, a col lector, a marshal er any person • holding a place of minor diithiction, but of considerable profit, be called upon to pay the last great debt of tiature. The poor man shall hardly be dead, he shall not be cold, long before the corpse is in the coffin, the mall shall be crowded to repletion, with letters and certificates, and recommenda tions and representations, and every__species of sturdy i , sycophantic solicitation by which obtrusive mendiclty seeks charity or in vitee compassion. Why, sir, we hear the clamor of the craving animals at the treasury trough here in this capital. Such running, such jostling, such wriggling, such climbing over one another's backs, such squeal ing, because the tub Is so narrow and the com pany eocrowded ! No, sir, let us not talk of stoical apathy towards the things of the national treasury, either in this p eople or in their repre sentatives or senators. ' Inconsidering the close application of this lan guage to the condition of things to-day,we hardly know whicltsf its qualities to admire most; bat on the whole we are .disposed to give the palm to its admirable accuracy of metaphor. ROIIGEL ON GIDEON WELLES. ‘ How the Old salt Went Home. The New York Tribune says: When that excel lent gentleman, the Hon. Gideon Welles, retired from the government of the Navy,he was a good deal bothered about the expense of moving hie furniture and baggage back to_ Hartford. The franking privilege not being quite elastic enough to cover his case, he was permitted to take one of the Government vessels. Who permitted him —whether he did it himself, or his successor—, rre arenot informed; but the vessel was loaded,_ and off the gallant old salt sailed for the Connec ticut liver. When he got there he _found that vessels drawing more than six feet of -water could pot get into the. Connecticut river, whereas his drew eleven. Mr. Welles had never been so much astonished in his life. His chagrin - was only equaled by the Vicar of Wakefield's when that delightful person found that he bad ordered a portrait so trig that he could not get it into the house. The result of it all was that Mr. Welles had to go beat ing alonthe coast until he found water enough at New London to float his goods, and thence he sent them home by rail, at instdouble the cost of shipping them from Washington in the regular way. It may seem rather singular that,a gentle -man wito - bad-been — eight.years Secretary of the Navy should not know something about- the depth of water on Saybrook bar, and still more singular that he should eend a vessel on'a voyage without inquiring whether she could possiblyget • Into her port of destination. But then Mr.yelles always was a very remarkable man. -- CUBA. Mereßutchery by the Spaniard'''. The Cuban correspondent of the New York Times says:-- You doubted the correctness of the. elegram of Valmaseda's proclarniftibrt.- The proclamation is genuine and Governor Minano, f-Trinidad, has issued another expressing . the ..rame Ideas and giving almost the" - Sarriecorders. [he Capitanes de partido have taken a census of (he men remaining at home in the rural ,districts. Those who- are not actually needed on the plantations and farms are sent 10 Trinidad; and those who are found away from home without .permission of the authorities, and unable to produce satisfactory reasons, are treated as prisoners of war, which, I presume, means that they will be despatched either by the steel or a bullet •in the back_soon_after being caught. The'question of exehan - ge of prisoners has not been broached yet,atid the only exchange now carried on is that "you kill my man and I kill yours." The commander of Valmaseda'ri counter guerrillas, in his official report about thh taking of prisoners, says: "All the prisoners manifested their repentance (for having joined the revolution), made some declarations of importance, and promised to be in future not only sustainers of order, but also would use their influence to make their frieuds and relatives do the same; they bad merited death, however; and, naturally,-I had them exe cuted." Comments are unnecessary. MOTHER EXPEDITION FOR MIMI. The Steamer Salvador Oft for Sagutt. KEY WHIST. May 6, 1869.—The British steal:tier. Salvador, which put in at Key West some four weeks since for repairs, left here at eight P. M., May 5, loaded or Father crowded with passen gers', her destination supposed to be St. Thomas, via Nassau. During her stay at Key West she has been constantly watched. by the Spanish authorities; stW, notwithstanding the vigilance of the Spanish officers. the Salvador proceeded quietly and with caution down the harbor, and this morning the said officers were astounded at the news of her departure. Her passengers consisted of Cuban refugees, report says fully armed and equipped. Later reports on the streets say her real destina tion is Sagna la Grande, Cuba. She has been the cause of ranch excitement in Cuba. The. captain - of - the — Salvador - (Karlin) was tlie most successful blockade-runner in the so-called Southern Confederady..- The Salvador is a Clyde built steamer, very fast, able to make sixteen knots, making it diftletut for a_lip_anish steamer to overhaul her. lam writing in haste to be in time for the mail..- It remains to be seen what the effect of thleilrudden departure of the Salva dor will produpelh Havana.

AUCNEMENES 'Vitt:MIMI AT- TEM 011.213TN11T --pte Cheiciiit — =treet .eatre was reopened las t evening, by Elise Hoit's Burlesque CompiiiiVitt By_ ron's burleLque Lucretia Borgia, La Grande Doctrease The piece is as good as any by the same author, and a . — little better than creme that have been given in this city. It has several amusing situations, a- number of clever pans, and a __tolerably funny dialogue. The broad arrow of English authorship is stamped plainly upon it throughout; and, although somebody lids over_ hauled it, and, discreetly, crammed the text with 'tidal '"gage," all the songs remain in - their original Anglican inibccility. - What there is of an amusing character in such ballads as "Up in .a Balloon," "Cheeky Little Cove," "Tassels on her Boots," and "Immensikoff,"we cannot perceive. They are all idiotic. They contain the kind of humor, perhaps, which pleases the London mob, but they . are rather too stupid fo r American audiences. The company at the Chestnut is a . good ace. "Lucretia Borgia" wits grayed by iii: Wall; in admirable manner. He is the best burlesquelactor in the troupe. The next 'best is Miss . :Elise lioltja very pretty young lady, with a lively manner Which wilt be sure to win her popu_ laxity among theise persons who like slangy young wo• men pn the stage. Miss Holt is really a good actress, however,, and a tolerable singer; but these qualities will hardly attract as many persons as the pecalia mannefin which Mills Holt presents herself to he exigences. Her costume is just about as- scant as it possibly can be without being entirely invisible. The young ladies attendant upon her likewise displayed a painful disregard of dress, although they were rathe better covered than Mi4s Holt. For this reason we think the piece will draw as well as diaper drama al ways does. If it depended upon its intrinsic 'merits, its success would be by no means certain. JOHN BROUGHAM AT THE WALNUT —Mr. Brougham's success at the Walnut has not been commensurate with his deserts. His burlesque, Much Ado About a Merchant of Venice, is capital. It is conceived in a spirit of pure fun, and written in Brougham's best style. It is incomparably superior to any of the imported burlesques that have been played in this city. Mr. Brouglism's “Shylock," too, is about the best of his comic personations, and_is well worthy, of warm praise. That it is not better appreciated is discreditable to the theatre goers of this city. John Brougham deserves popularity and support if any actor does. Ile is a thorough artist; and whether ho attempts high comedy or farce, he plays with spirit, intelligence and a gentlemanly regard for the pro prieties which should recommend him to respectable _peoplu. It le not too mach_ to_say,__indeed,. that-he: ranks with the best. comellirilis upon, the stage at the present thab, and his histrionic talent is only an item of - his versatile genius, which Imitates poetical, dm... matic and musical authorship of the cleverest kind. —At the Theatre — CVinique, this evening, a splendid bill is offered.

Clark, the line bastio, and Mr. Kelleher, an excellent tenor, will all appear in Levy's comic opera, Punehiuello. /Th e opeetta Les Deux Aveugies also will be given: tTtit s promises to he about the best entertainment ever ..iven in the Theatre Comique.

The Jews profess to chant to this day in the tones written opt by .a rabbi of the fifth century, and this learned rabbi professed to record the real song of Moses in notation; for it is .a legend with the Jews that when Moses received the law of service on Mount Sinai he was taught there, and then also the song.
