Evonlmr Ballotm.l Pabis, Tuesday, Oct. 19, 1809.—The Depu ties of the Deft, or at least a certain number of them, publish this morning the manifesto which has been so long Spoken of, and which is at once a reply to the murmurs of a portion of their own constituents against their inac tion, and a protest against the suraoisov sus picious, sulky, underhand policy at present pursued by the Emperor and his ministers with respect to the promised reforms. The document, on the whole, is . creditable to the good sense and firmness of the twenty one members of the Democratic opposition whose names ate appended to it. We are asked, they begin by saying, whether we in tend to go to tbe Chamber on the 26th of Oc tober. "We intend to do nothing of the kind," they reply, bluntly, honestly and straightforwardly; and tho reply does them credit, both for its frankness and sound judg ment. And they proceed to give very good reasons in favor of the conclusion they have arrived at. If we went in a body to the Chamber, they say, we should necessarily pro voke a popular demonstration, of which no one could foresee the extent or the consequence, . and which would be . staking the liberties we are-" just on the point of reestablishing on the hazard of a chance. When a quiet and pacific revo lution is in progress, “of which the final re sult becomes every day more and more inevi table,” it would be the worst policy in the world to give the government a chance of re covering its position by a successful struggle agaiust an insurrection. If the government violates .its own constitution—a constitution which ithas been pulling to pieces withits own hand—it is no business of ours to vindicate it. We shall wait for the openingof the session, and then call the Executive, to account for ait that it has been doing—for continuing to net upon its own personal authority and initiative at the very moment when it was professing to have abandoned them; and for the freshinsulte which it has thereby offered to universal suffrage and the national sove reignty in the person of its representatives. There isnotking to object to in this language and in the position which is taken up by it. Thu- is a far superior and mere sensible mode of speaking and acting than the traditional policy of “descending into the streets”—that is, of “making a fight of it,”—which has been so constantly, and so unsuccessfully in tho long run, followed by French democrats. Only, what these men aim at openly and de finitively is not only the curtailment of tho personal authority of the Emperor, or even the “pulling down” of the Second Empire, but the “setting up” of. the Republic. Now, I should have no hesitation in saying to these gentlemen, just as frankly as they themselves sav to their constituents that they won’t go to the Chamber or provoke a demonstration on the 3i:h—that in entertaining this design they are laboring under a great mistake, and one' which is sure to come to grief in the end. That there are Bepublicans in France, and a good many of them, is ho doubt quite true. But the " nation ” is not republican; and for the best reason in the world—because it feels that it is neither fit to be, nor capable of being so. There is a vast deal to do,' and to be learnt, before the ignorant mass of the French people, accustomed for centuries, and never more so tbairof late, to be led, governed and cared for By a strongly centralized authority—can be brougbt-up to the level of “ self-government,’’ in anything like a really republican sense of those words. It is more than probable that any republican government which should be established in France under present circumstances would make itself more concentrated and tyrannical, and leave even k-ss play to individual action and energy,than the government of the Empire itself. No true friend of Republican principles desires to see those principles caricatured and made a laugh ing-stock of to the rest ofthe world; and such I feel assurgd-thej/wouldbo made in France if the experiment were tried over again now, as it was in 1848-9. Yet it is by no means impossible that the attempt may be made. The Republican party, though not the most numerous, is by far the most active, and its stronghold is here in the capital. The mistakes of the government may again, as In 1848,throw power into its hands; and then again, if it only proves a failure a second, or rather a third time,as I predict it will, the old game will be played over again of some “strong man,” mighty to “save,” coming uppermost out of the universal turmoil, and the nation once more prostrating itself at bis feet. Here in Paris we are in a strange state of chaos at present. The feeling of everybody is as though the government had abdicated and left the capital to take care of itself. The mast unlimited liberty, not to say the most , unbridled license, of the press, exists, and is used and abused to the utmost- One's hair stands on end when one reads the ferocious ravings of the Rappel and the Reveil, and com pares the existing state of things with what was the case only a few months back. And yet the government is perpetrating the egre gious folly, of giving all this unwholesome diet time to work, and bring the nation up to fever heat, by postponing the meeting of the Chambers till the 29th of next month, whon it hopes to come forward with some sleeping potion, which shall calm it down again. The Emperor ahd a parcel pf old quacks like M. Forcadc de la Raquette, tho Minister of the Interior, who made himself so odious and conspicuous at the last elections, are do wn at Compiegne, tinkering up their miserable old Constitution in a corner, and fancying they are doing wonders, while all Paris is literally “roaring”' with excitement, and the whole country irritated and disgusted. Whereas, if the government had faced the Chamber at once, and said frankly, “Let us come to an understanding about wfiat is to he done and what ministers are to be appointed,” it would have rallied to it all moderate, men- and thrown confusion /among its adversaries. To the present state; of . public feeling every fresh cause' of ex citement is dangerous; and here wo • are, at this critical moment, in the midst of a formi dable strike of all the young men employed in the dry goods stores of Paris. Hundreds of the employes of the immense estab lishments .of the Louvre,. the do Paris, the Petit St. Thomas, and others, have combined to put an end to lotig hours, night work and Sunday opening, ’fliey ask, very reasonably, that tbeir day’s work should be froinB A. M; to BP. M., and that the system f malting an evening exhibition, when the o OURVHOLE COUNTRY. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1869. goods displayed In tho windows are all re-ar ranged afresh and lighted up tilHOor 11 o’clock, should be discontinued, as well as the practice of keeping open on, the Sundays, This large strike has added greatly to tho general excite ment, and very nearly led to a breach of the public peace. A band of young men began to parade tbe streets two days ago, stationing tbemseives before the principal dry goods stores, and inviting, or rather summoning, their comrades to turn out and join them. They wore met atlast and dispersed by a large police force,' and some arrests were made, for tunately without serious consequence. But the least thing might, bring on's conflict, of which it might lie impossible to calculate tbe result, when so many-other elements of com bustion are in presence. Still Another Horror, Another Erie Railroad Accident-One Han Roasted Alhe, and Fourteen Cars Laden with Oil, Cotton and Tobacco Ranted. Pout Jebvis, November I.—A railroad ac cident occurred near Narrowsburg, 26 miles west of Port Jervis, at 4 o’clock this morning, by which one man was burned to death, and fourteen cars, loaded with coal, oil, tobacco and cotton were entirely consumed. When the fire had reached its height a man was seen in the midst of- the glaring flames, but it was impossible to approach near isnough to render the victim any aid, and he -was in a short time completely roasted His name was James Bourke, and he was a brake man on the train. It is supposed that he had in some manner become fastened between the cars in such a way as to beunable to extricate himself before being suffocated by the rapidly approaching flames. He .resided at Lacka waxen. The fire is supposed to have, originated from the locomotive. Eight care of oil and six of cotton and tobaceo were consumed. Trains were detained until the evening.—WorW. Another Account. , NabboWsbdbg, N. Y., Monday, Nov. 1, 1869.—At 4 o’clock this morning an Erie Rail way freight train, laden with petroleum, cot ton and tobacco, eastward bound, when about one mile west or this station, ran off the track, owing to the breaking of a truck. One of the oil cars took fire from some unexplained cause, and almost instantaneously the whole number of oil cars were enveloped in one sheet of flame. .The fire spread to other care, containing cotton, and tobacco, consuming six freight and eight oil care, involving a heavy Joss to the company. The scene presented by the conflagration was grand and Tearful, lighting up the snrrounding country for miles. As the fire was progressing one of the brakemen, who had Deen missing, was seen in the midst ofthe flames, between Wo of the burning cars. The intensity of the heat ren dered aU efforts to get him ont useless; besides he must have b£en dead when first discovered.. The poor fellow had probably become fas tened between the cars, or overtaken so quickly by the flames as to render it, impos sible to escape, and he was roasted to death, allthat remained ef him being the charred trank and bones. His name was James Bourke, andhe resided at Lackawaxen,Penn sylvania. Passenger trains were detained ten hours by the accident. The track is now clear. —N. Y.'Times. - WBECK OF A BOSTON' WHALER. £i£bt Dsjh Withont_F6yd» -Twenty-two Uves Lost. The' Hartford Courant published a detailed account of the wreck of the whaling schooner Susan N. Smith, of Boston, in August last, and the suffering of the crew for eight days without food or water. The story is fold Dy Capt. Job £. Bounseville, master of the vessel, who has just arrived in Hartford. The schooner sailed Horn Boston on the 29th o February, 1868, on a general whaling; voyage on the Atlantic Ocean, with a crew of eighteen seamen besides the captaih, his wife and two children. On the 28th of August the wind had been blowing fresh, and continued into the night, but it was nothing like a. gale of wind. At 2 o’clock the next night, so severe wa< the tempest that, all hands wero called to close-reef the sails- Half an hour later the Wind blew a perfect hurricane,yet under close sail the vessel was kept off before it and plunged madly "through the heavy sea, the high, rolling waves making clear over her decks and sweeping every portable thing away. At 3 o’clock, the gale still growing more furious, toreUhe sails from their fasten ings as if they were paper balloons, and, at the same time, a heavy sya washed the deck from stem to stern "-again, and every small, boat was carried into the ocean. The vessel then ran under bare poles until 4 o’clock, when she “broached to”—that is, came t o the wind, the manat the wheel evidently.losing all con trol of the helm. This was tho critical time, the high seas buried the vessel’s rail some two or three feet under water. Capt. Bounseville immediately seized an axe and went forward to cut away the fore mast, in order that the vessel might right np. After cutting the rigging all clear he found the mast wouldii’tr fall, and commenced cutting that, hiit had not given more than two or three blows before the schooner began to go gradu ally, and in half a minute, at the longest, the masts were lying upon the water, tne vessel was clear over. At this time the wind was blowing like a hurricane, and roared like heavy thunder. The sea was. chopping ugly, and dashing in wildly from'all quarters. The going over, and all, was so quickly done, that the captain could not change his position, to get aft where his wife and children andmost of ms crew were; for as soon as tho masts touched the water the vessel settled down bodily,and he was washed away from the fore mast. After being in the water two or throe minutes, most of the time under, he washed against the rigging Of "the mainmast, and caught there, getting badlylhurt in the breast as he brought np heavily against the spar. He got on to the rigging at the top of the most, by crawling through the ratthngs, and there found nearly, the whole crew anu the officers collected and holding on to ropes and chains. While there he secured himself with a rope, and the first mate did the same. Hero were twenty or more men- in therigging. The ves sel righted on Wednesday, and four of tho crew, besido the captain, remained upon her. The" captain’s wife ’ andjmiklren per ished in tho cabin during the storm, and their bodies were washed away. Every thing edible had been' washed out of the ves sel. All through the wreck the captain and bis four companions clung to the wreck eight days without food or water! Thero is hardly another such a case on record. The testimofay of all is that the thought of food scarcely entered their minds, birt their burn ing thirst nearly drove them to distraction. Eight days without a drop of water! It came to ho, through this dreadful parching, that neither one could talk. Eaoh tongue was swollen, and hung without the mouth. As it touched the roof of the mouth, it glued thero, and peeled off in large flakes. On Sunday morning tho first sail — that had been in sight, • since the dis aster occurred,appeared some distance off—too far oft to be attracted; Tho little hope that was excited suddenly departed,as the whitened ■(sails were lost to view in the distance. But two hours’ later another vessel came in sight, about three miles off, and here was new hope to the wretched men, but tho vessel passed on, unattracted lines of the wreck, These two last (sad disappointments lod to the raising of a signal of distress, and an old blue - coat was hoisted. At about 4 o’clock in the afterDOoh anothev Vessel appeared about four miles to the windward, and before dark, the captain of this Vessel (Captain Ox ley of, the ship Flatwortli, on the way from China to London) discovered the wreck, and by dark bad got within 100 yards of it. He got a boat out,aud sent it alongside. Capt.Bonnes villeandhis companions were so Weak that they could not stand, and by another day at the longest' must have perished, and as tho boat came up they slid into. it helplessly,’and were taken to the Flatworth, where every at tention was paid them by the kind-hearted Englishman in command. When tajkeh off two of the sailors were entirely naked, as they had been during the whole week. The sun bad blistered them, as it'jnMl'the captain and others. All were the merest skeletons. Oapt. Rounseville, who weighed, before the wreck, 190 pounds, las lost nearly 90 pounds in his eight days of suffering! A teaspoonful of brandy was given each one to start with, but oven this was too nnieli' for their shattered systems, and very soon after reaching the ship, all were unconscious and remained in that state for two days. On reaching London the survivors were removed to the Bailors’ Homo in Well street, where they met with every attention. As soon as he was able Captain Bouhseville published a card of thanks to . Captain Oxley, and took measures to commu. nicate his gallant conduct- to the American Consul, through whom the Government will be advised and will undoubtedly make some suitable acknowledgment. ■— • 1 'MI ♦- EUROPEAN AFFAIRS KXWASIt. The prince of Woles at. » Churchman and Dancer. The Chester (England) correspondent of tbe London Timm, writing on the 20th of October, says: General Knollys lias written as follows to the Bishop of Chester: “I am desired by the Prince of Walea'to re quest that your lordship will accept for your self, and convey to the Dean and Chapter of tbe Cathedral Church and the clergy of the 'city, his sincere acknowledgments for their address and cordial welcome to Chester, as well as for the loyal attachment which they have expressed tothe person and' family of the Queen. It has : afforded his Boyal High ness the highest gratification to have received from any portion ofthe clergy of our Church such an expression of their feelings towards* him, and he desires to thank them from his heart for their prayers and good wishes.” The ball at. the now Town Hall was numer ously attended, of course. The guests were too many to dance, as a regular ball-goer would understand dancing, and it was a long time before there was mich comfort for the crushed beauties. It cOnld not be otherwise when all were anxious—detsrminedly anxious, some— to see the Prince open the ball with the May oress. This formality was gone through soon, after eleven o’clock, and by and by the lookers on began to remember that they had engage ments penciled on theii dainty cards. The Prince is a pleasant ball-room companion, and his ease and natuial, unpretending manners soon prove fatal to any trepidation to which the Chester fair on« might happen to be vic tims. The Prince danced often, and without 'allowing himself to be monopolized by any one “set.” He chose his partners promiscu ously, and, like a sensible Xellbw, tried' to en joy himself during the little time he was left. alone. --About midnight the Prince and some friends came out upon the balcony, when .the crowd, which happened then to be particu larly dense, gave him a very hearty recep-, tion. OTasit. the Radicals and “Jtedu”—-Tlicir Mani festo and Purpase. . The FrenchEeMslative Deputies of the Beit assembled in Fans, October 19, at noon, in the residence of M. Jules Favre, to deliberate on the terms in which a manifesto from the Left should he drawn up. All the Paris mem bers were present, except M. Thiers, then in the south of France. The following is the text of the document agreed to: t To Our Fellow-Citizens: We are asked from various quarters if we intend to repair to the Chamber on October 26. We will not do so, and for the following reasons: In proceeding _ there we should of necessity provoke a mani festation of which no one'could, in present circumstances,.regulate the march and the ex tent, But we have no right to deliver up to chance the fate of liberty now reviving. When a grqat revolution —one eminently pacific—has been commenced, when day by dav its inevitable denouement is more clearly perceived, there would be a great want of tact in funiishing to tho government any. pre text whatever to regain strength from a riot. If the authorities trample under foot the con stitutional rules which it lias itself traced out, the democracy has for the moment only one thing to do—to take note of such condnct That constitution, which the government' thinks fit to undo with its own hands, we have been obliged to submit to, and we ought not to attempt to restore it by taking up its defence. . ' In this situation, we have, resolved to wait for the actual opening of the next session. Then wo shall call the executive to account for this now insult to the nation, then w.e shall show by the very experiment which has been made during the last three months, that the personal power, while pretending to give way in presence of the public reprobation, has never ceased to act and speak in the character of a master. Then* we shall pursue on the ground of universal suffrage and national sovereignty— the only one that can henceforth subsist —the work of democratic and radical reform, the flag of which has been, placed by the people in our hands.

Tho company withdrew at about eleven o’clock. tvbat Paris Thinks of the “Reds” and Bonaparte. The European mail reports from Paris of tho evening of tho 21st of October state that at that moment the party “Manifesto of the Left” met with little favor from city journals, being-- hot only ' ridiculed and sneered at by the governmental organs, hut reprehended very generally by the democratic press. What is curious in the comments is that some of the ultra journals go just ns far in the severity of their criticism as those of the conservative’ party, and that in no ease can a really frank and outspoken cnlogium be found. |Wo sub join an extract from the ConstituUomiel, which says: The great event has been accomplished. Tho deputies of the left have met to draw up their manifesto—were we in Spain we should "Hay their prouunciamiento —on the convocation of the legislative body. In this document, the,, terms of which, as we are assured, were tho object of keen and Irritating discussions, wherein every worfl was weighed in the hoi aiico of Ultra democratic orthodoxy, the small est detail has itsdinportance/ The signers do not speak of a violation of- the constitution; they sfly that the constitutional regulations have been trampled under foot. This point, ! we repeat, has its significance, after all that has been said by the organs of the left about the pretended violation of the constitutional compact. The contents of the manifesto are as meagre as possible. .. <V . ' Napoleon's Life in Real Danger. A letter from Compiegne, France, of the IK.Ji of October, relates the following ex citing occurrence: The Emperor, attended by General Pujol, his aide-de-camp, and two orderly officers, took a,walk yesterday in the town. In pass ingifita the long avenuehis Majesty porcelved a-cabriolet advancing at a rapid pace and was obliged to step aside to avoid being run over. Just aa the horse, which had taken the hit in its teeth and conld not he stopped, arrived opposite the. cavalry- barracks, a carbineer of the Guard, a powerful man, placed hilnselfin the middle or the road, and seizing the bridle of the furious animal, succeeded; after a strug gle in which a corporal lout his assistance, m effectually subduing it. The Emperor com plimented the ttvo soldiers on their, conrago, and some hours after a chamberlain handed them, from the Sovereign, a gold medal and forty francs. RUSSIA. An Important Suasion front the East tA the Czar. The Invalids Jlime announces that an em bassy is on its way from the Emir of Bokhara to tho Czar. At the head of it is his High ness’s fourth son, Seid-Abdu-Fattah-Khan, twelve years of age, who is accompanied by the father-in-law and brother-in-law of the Emir, and twelve other persons.. In the offi cial letters addressed to the Bussian general officers, the ruler declares that the object of this mission is to consolidate .good rela tions with Bussia and to inform the Emperor Alexander pf the hostile designs and proceedings of the English and Afghans. But, according to. non-official information, the real aim is different, and perhaps more im portant, viz: that of, securing the throne of Bokhara to the before-mentioned son, for whom the father has an unbounded affection. The young prince has three elder brothers who have oeen declared deposed from all right of succession on account of .rebellion. The eldest, Katty Turia, who is nineteen, has long been attempting to dethrone his father, ana very nearly attained his end , last year; but, defeated near Karsch by the Russian troops, he was obliged to fly to IChiva, to Implore the help of the chief of that Khanat EUGENIE IN THE EAST. A Mohammedan Procession. The Fall Mall Gazette of Oct. 18th says: i The. Empress of the French pir Friday witnessed item a window of the Dolmabaeht schePalace the Imperial procession to mid-, day prayer at the Mosque of Beshiktach. The Sultan was on horseback attended by a bril liant escort.’ Subsequently her Majesty re ceived the - members of the diplomatic body and their wives at the Beglerbey Palace, and then steamed np the Bosphorus m the Sultan’s yacht to witness the promenade to the Sweet Waters of Asia. The scene is said to have been very interesting. The Empress and her suite landed in state caiques at the Sultan’s kiosk, and there a military reception took place, music being played by the hand. Her Majesty appeared on the balcony of the kiosk, passed several times round the sward and up the valley in an open carriage, and afterward went on foot among'the Turkish ladies. On her Majesty’s return to Beglerbey Palace the grounds were lighted up and the iron-clads and men-of-war in the harbor were illuminated. A telegram ’ from thS special "correspondent of the Tele graph states that on Saturday there was, a re view of 20,000 troops at Beicos before the Sul tan and the Empress. After the review, the whole length, or the Bosphorus was illumi nated;, the hills were lined with troops, sa luting with platoon firing; the riggings of tho men-of-war in the Bosphorus were brilliantly illuminated with lamps; and fire-works were thrown np from rafts moored on the water. [By tie ’Atlantic Cable.] AFRICA. Dr. Livingstone's Travels and Kxplora lions—Letter to tbe Herald—ln Want of Supplies—The Sources of the Nile— Tbe Doctor Uhtly to Bemaln Longer. London, Hoy. 1, 1869.—A special news let ter, dated at Zanzibar on the 9th of Septem ber, states that the writer had pleasure in con veying the information that on the day. previ ous letters had been received by the British Consul at that place from Dr. Livingstone, the explorer. The communications were dated to the Bth day of August, 1868. Dr. Livingstone was in good health. He spent the year previous exploring the section of the country lying south of Tangam jaka lake, which he found to contain many small springs sr inner lake fountains, wlucli he claims to he the true sources of the fiver Nile. Dr. Livingstone states that ho heard that two different instalments of supplies had’ reached Uiji from ; .Zanzibar for his Use, but they had been received at a time previous to his arrival there, so as to have them thus render them beneficial. In these letters he requests that further supplies of necessaries be despatched to him. including nautical in struments and copies of, English almanacs for the years 1869 and 1870. This fact indicates, it is supposed, that the Doctor purposed remain ing in the country for a lengthy period of time, more particularly as he has given no idea of his intentions for the future, and has not mentioned at what place or point of the territory he purposed to come out on his journey homeward. The letters are written on small scraps of paper which Dr. Livingstone begged from the Arabs, who conveyed the written documents to the coast for transmission to England. Tho communications are exceedingly meagre so far as regards general news.— Jkrald. AMUSEMENTS. “lost at sea,” at tub arch, —A ruined hanker in the toils of a confidon -tial clerk, - who aspires to the. hand of the banker’s high-bred daughter; a self-sacrifi cing nobleman, a broken-hearted maiden, a long lest hero, who turns up all right at last, and a boy who does the low comedy business— these are the familiar characters which Mr. Boucicault has strung together once more upon a well-worn thread of a plot, and entitled the rehash Lost «t Sea. Tho compilation is not a particularly good one, l'or th 3 play is full of incongruities and impossibilities of tne grossest' character. The worst of these is the presence of “Coram,” the hero, in the very family of the man who is personating him and en joying his fortune; and “Coram’s” familiarity with the villainy of the piece without any effort upon his part to prove his identity until a long period has passed. Such tame submis sion to outrageous villainy-never was and never will be iii real life. Then wo have a no bleman who loves a girl devotedly and yet abandons her in the most cold-blooded milli ner upon a mere hint from the villain that such ah act would help her father: we have also a panic, in which oven the Bank of Eng land trembles, and this is produced with sin gular facility by the disagreeable outfcasts, who manage tho wickedness of the piece; and then the hero is locked up in the garret of a, house which is fired in order to give the heroine a chance to prance around over the rafters and save him from death. Thcso incidents are coupled with others equally suiprising; and there is a dialogue in the later style of Boucicault, with plohty of slang, some genuine humor, and very little true pathos or sound sense. ’ There is nothing new; the broken-hearted hanker business, the burning house, the suicide from the bridge, the baffled villainy, have dene service again aiid again in English, French and American dramascapi- Dickens, sensationally in Miss Brad- and wretchedly in dime ueveis; 'Bouci'-' if «*e/V F.

While thero is a certain inele gance—almost eoarsness, about- these ‘ per sonations, itcannotbedoniedthattheypossessa great deal of power. Throughoutthe whole plajr there are passages which jar upon the nerves, tones in the voice of the actress and movet- - ments of her body which are harsh and rude; ’ hut the performance as a whole appeals strongly to the feelings, and we really bellevn it is impossible for the coldest person towit n ess it without being deeply interested., and, sometimes affected. The situation itself is full' of pathos, and it needs that the actress shhli only play with earnestness and sincerity, of purpose ■ to win the sympathy of her audience. We may incline- to ridicule the exhibitions of feeling which always: at tend the reproduction- of this drama, but wheat one sits beneath the spell oi the actress it does not seem unnatural that seme of the mote sensitive should pay to her the tribute of their tears. There were a . good many handker chiefs in requisition last night. Home women, cried outright, others wiped their eyes ifur tively, as if they were ashamed of- such weak ness, while more tban'orie man winked hard, and looked away unconcernedly, as if some thing in the gallery interested him at that particular moment more, than the play. There must he some genuine power in the woman, who can held ner audience in thrall night* after night in this fashion, and while we per ceive in her acting grievous and offensive flaws it is hut fair that we should acknowledge that Bhe possesses the secret of controlling the springs of emotion, and uses that secret most effectively. .
