A cable telegram to the American Press Association, dated at Paris, announces that the Duchesso de Berrl died yesterday, The New York Associated Press has not yet got the news, hut it has heard of another horse race in England. And yet it might he ex pected that the American public would take an interest in the woman who was the daughter of a King of Naples, daughter-in law of the last Bourbon King of France and mother of the Comte de Chambord, the repre sentative of the elder Bourbon line. Fifty years ago the interest of the whole civilized world was enlisted in her behalf, owing to the cruel assassination of her husband as he was conducting her from the opera at Paris to her carriage. The lady just deceased was named Marie Caroline perdinande Louise. She was the daughter of Francis I. of Naples, and was born at Palermo, November 5,1798. She was married June 17th, 1810, to Prince Charles Ferdinand d’Artois, son of the Comte d’Ar. tois, who was a brother of Louis XVI. and Louis XVII, of France and was afterwards King Charles X. She had a daughter, born in 1819, who could not succeed to the crown, under the Salic law. ' "When her husband was assassinated, it was not fcnown that she was pregnant; but on the 20th of September, 1820, seven months after that event, she gave birth to a son, the present Comte de Chambord, whom the legitimists love to style Henry "V. The revolution of 1830 drove the owed princess and her along with Charles X., from France, although she made heroic eflorts to have her son pro. claimed King after Charles abdicated. She returned to France in 1832, and had a series of romantic and extraordinary adventures. She was captured, along with her followers, by officers of Louis Philippe’s Government, and steps were taken to have her tried. It then transpired that she was pregnant, and hopes wore entertained by the Orleanists of disgracing her. But on the 22d of February, 1832, she signed the following declaration, which is believed to be strictly true: “Urged by circumstances, and by the measures ordered by the Government, although I had the most serious reasons for keeping my mar. riage a secret, I owe it to myself and to my children to declare that, while in Italy, I secretly married the Count of Lucohesi-Palli, one of the princes of Campo-Franco.” On the 10th of the following May, she gave birth to a daughter. A month later, she was taken out of prison.and sent in a French frigate to Palermo. After this remarkable episode in her career, the Duchess lived happily with her hus band, part of the time is the Vendramin palace in Venice and part in the beautiful Castle of Brunsee in Styria, both of which she owned. The child born in prison died; hut four ethers were born of her second marriage. Her husband died April Ist, 1864. His titles were: “Marquis Lucchesi-PalU Campo et Pignatelli, due de ia Gracie.” B esides being a brave and. herein woman, she was ac complished, gentle and generous, and her memory will be revered by many in France, as well as in Austria and Italy, where she lived. ' ■ . dramatic. Comedy a* the Areh. The occasional devotion of a week to high comedy by Mrs. Drew is a concession to those persons tv ho are still disposed to. regard the Arch Street Theatre as peculiarly the home of legitimate drama, and to the ancient reputa tion of the establishment in this respect. These are not so frequent as they might be and perhaps they do hot occur often enough to entitle the theatre to any special dis tinction ; but they are grateful when they do coine. These comedy weeks'are oases in the dreary wastes of sensation and balderdash which stretch over most of the season; they are acceptable to.the educated theatre-goers in the community, not more than to the excel lent artists of the company. Mrs. Drew has placed upon the stage half-a-dozen of the best stock . actoTs in the country; but only now and then do they have opportunity to display their powers to; adrantage; and to prove the capacity of the theatre to produce first-rate plays in the best manner. The blame may not rest altogether with the management, but the fact is nevertheless deplorable that artists who are capable of higher thingß ex pend their talent and a great deal of their time upon plays which are not worthy the attention of an intelligent human being. The present comedy week began last night with a performance of delightful play, The Good-Natured Man. This comedy, liable to the charge of occasional prosiness and want of vivacity, is characterized generally by all the most charming peculiarities of the author. It has an ingenious plot, simplicity and Beauty of language, easy, natural grace in its personages, perfect clearness in its narrative and delicious humor, together with absolute purity;—entire freedom from the nastiness which disfigures most of the standard comedies qf Goldsmith’s and subsequent periods. It was presented by Mrs. Drew in a manner that deserves warmest praise. Mrs. Drew’s representation of “ Miss ltichland,” the heiress, was distinguished by that grace and elegance and good taste which are peculiar to this actress. These qualities are required Jqr a good performance of the part, rattier than great emotional power, and Mrs. Drew exhibited them to best advantage. Mrs. Maeder played “Mrs. Croaker” with admirable skill, and Miss Firmin, in theplacid character of “Olivia,” was very, pleasant. Mr. Mackey undertook “ Mr. Croakor,” and as usual dressed for the part with minute care which reached to the lingers of his gloves andithe toes of his boots. He,played splendidly, having a larger opportunity than most of his colleagues, to be sure, but proving his equality with the character and showing a complete comprehension of its individuality.. Mr. Craig’s “ Lofty” was exquisite; It was a bit of delicious characterization, which gained by contrast with the abominable things that this fine artist has been compelled to do recently. Mi*. Cathcart’s personation of Mr. Honey moon” was entirely satisfactory, amj, wo may bestow the same commendation upon the minor personages in the play. The perform ance was received with great good humor and some enthusiasm by the audience, which was largo. To-night The School for Scandal will bo presented, with Mrs. Drew as “Lady Teazle.’ OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. The World con talus the following remarks upon the Fcniau preparations in New York city: id is claimed by General O’Neill that .the Chicago Concrewi liad no power whatever to establish such an .Executive Committee, anti, ■further, that all its proceedings are void and worthless. The delegates from the Congress in Chicago will, however, he received to-day on exhibitingtheir credentials. The Call to Arms. The private circular issued by General O’Neill to Ihe Circles,and which Is the founda tion of the Congress to meet to-day, contains a passage which plainly shows the drift of the whole affair. In it, as President of the Bro therhood, the General distinctly instructs each Circle to send no money to headquarters until after the Congress, but to sendwith each delegate to the Congress sufficient funds to purchase from 1,000 to 2,000 rounds of bretch-louding ammu nition, valve S2S per 1,000. This, taken in con nection with other facts, is extremely signifi cant of an intended movement. The vbnsrress. . ' will meet in Masonic Hall, Thirteenth street, to-day, at noon- A full representation of Cir cles is expected, and over thirty delegates ar rived yeiterday. Three hundred and fifty del egates are expected to attend the Congress. Last night several arrived from Chicago and Pittsburgh. The proceedings will be held with closed doors, and every effort will be made to secure secrecy. in West Fourth street presented a very ani mated appearance yesterday. Men wearing the appearance of soldiers passed in and out in a continual stream, and seven or eight clerks were apparently very busy. In a back room six or seven gentlemen, all farmer offi cers in the United States service, and two of whom held commands in the former raidjjvore engaged in animated conversation. A map of the Canadian frontier, embracing all the fron tier between the Winnipeg territory and the mouth of the St Lawrence, hung on the wall, and one gentleman was discussing the ap proaches to Riel’s (the leader sf the Winm pegians) headquarters. His exemplification seemed to meet the approbation of the rest. Up stairs, General.O’Neill and Mr. Renehan, the Secretary of Civil Affairs, were busy re ceiyi ng the delegates and making preparations for the Congress. , will evidently be placed at the disposal of General O’Neill, if necessary. A delegate from Pittsburgh said: “I believe General O’Neil] to be an honest man. A man, sir,who means to do what he says; and let me tell you, sir, that I have in my pocket $2,000 which I wifi place in his hands at the proper time. Mina you, I want you to understand me thoroughly, at the proper time." Other delegates have brought large sums of money to be placed at the disposal of General O’Neill. for the movement, if any take place, will be Springfield rifles altered to Remingtons. Of the Springfield rifles which remained after the late raid, all were converted into breech- loading weapons, • and a large number of breech-loaders have been purchased from time to time. Several factories have been cm- j ployed i n converting the old rifles into breech loaders, and General Michael Kerwin, the Secretary of War,'is now in Philadelphia, it is said, seeing to the disposal of several thou sand rifles which have been converted in that city. In Boston and Mew Orleans, it is as sorted, purchases - have been made, in the lat ter city especially. Altogether the number of rifles is quite considerable. A prominent offi cer stated to our reporter, yesterday, that it could not fall far short of “O.fcrt stand of arms. . Part of these have been distributed in towns along the Vermont' border, and another and larger portion shipped by Chicago a few days .ago to somq point on the Northwestern fron tier of Canada, in the vicinity of the Ited river territory. Trie Proposed Campaign, frem what can be learned of it, embraces not only an invasion of Canada at a point between' Toronto and Montreal, nearer to the latter city than the former, bat also, and simultane ously, an expedition to join Kiel’s forces and actin the Northwestern Territory. Telegrams are coming to this city from Chicago, lib, and St. Paul, Minn., stating that supplies and am -Hranition are forwarding to some point fur ther out. The Catholic priest before alluded to, Father Donnelly, has revisited Chicago during the session of the Congress, and three tfpys ago passed through St. Paul. A prominent, cavalry olficer stated in the headquarters of the Brotherhood, yesterday, that no raid would, be made until August, hut that recruiting was now going on, but this statement was evidently made for the pnrposo of creating a wrong impression, anil his presence around the headquarters in company with a well-known cavalry general and dash iug commander point to the conclusion that some sharp work is in preparation. The de liberations ofthe Congress which will open to-day will show the truth or falsity of all state ments concerning a Canadian raid. Small-Pox Among the Indians. Commissioner Parker,of the Indian Bureau, has received a letter from General Alfred Sully. Superintendent of the Montana Indians, in which he reports that the ravages made by the small-pox among the GroS Ventres and As siniboin tribes have been so great as to almost exceed belief. By General Sully’s letter it ap pears that since last September to the first of , February .when the smallpox broke ont among the Gres Ventres, there have been 741 deaths which leaves only about 1,200 of this nation alive. What makes this calamity still more to be deplored is, that, of all the Indians in Montana, the most friendly towards the whites and among the Indians most disposed to accept civilization are the Gros Ventres and they have suffered terribly. laminformeci at one time that deaths at the agency were so rapid that . the few.. men there could not dig graves fast enough. They had to till up the ice near the forts with the dead and then covertliem up. It was fortunate that the weather was cold, otherwise it would have been necessary to abandon the agency. It i urther appears that when the disease was atits height those suffering with it would prevail on t-lieir Inends to carry them from their huts Into the open air, where they would crawl to the river side and renoain for hours immersed in tho ice-cold water. The consequenco was that many took cold from tho exposure and died in frightful torment. Others committed suicide to escape further suffering. The locality of the camp was made known by the cries of tho sick, which could be heard along way off Under the Superstition common among the Indians when, greatly afflicted by disease, one of their modi cum men was killed to propitiate tho offended deity. The scene for long weeks was appail lng in the extreme, and it was only through the exertions of the physician anil tho few citizeps employed fpr the purpose that the ra vages oi the disease were checked. The lato action ot the commissioner in sending out an abundant supply of vaccine virus, it is thought, wilj prevent the recurrence in future of such terrible mortality among all tlio tribes.—A r . Y.

On the first expedi tion I carried m all about 55 to 60 pounds—too l much anywhi re; but when the road is the lied of a streauj often waist deep, paved with loose cobble-stones, it is enough to killahorse. Un snore, the foots aud stumps inako it more fatiguing than the river. Boots, at first, are in great demand; but as they fill with water over the topß you have to cut holes to let it out, and then they fill with sand. Very soon shoes and leggings are preferred, but wading works mischief with leather. Five days is as long as a pair of shoes will hold out. ; We are now relieved of carrying our food Iw thp reinforcement we have received from Carthagena of 10 little donkeys. This is their Jirst day of trial ; their load is 150 pounds, in hags and boxes. They stumble and quiver at step, and it is a wonder that they get on at. all over such a road; but this is nothing to what the country is ahead. Half a mile above our camp to-night, it is said, our way is up an infinite number of waterfalls, flowing through deep perpendicular gorges of Semite—very good for a geological section,but not enjoyable to a man progressing on all fours. It will he rough on the donkoys, and much more so on us, it they give out and we have again to carry giub ourselves. Our chief uneayrfiess now is whether, after being drenched night and day in the valley by wading, rain, and perspiration, we shall ‘find any water on the mountain tops. We can cut 5,500 to 4,000 feet per day on passable ground, but here we thiog it unspeakable; yet we are going to the Oiineraauua all the same. The sun never reaches us in the woods, and wo are getting <juite bleached, though no one is yet-on the sick list, and I am Beginning to have considerable hopes of the climate. Still the fatigue begins to tell, and vou don't Wr “Shoo Fly” in the wood*, so often. We see very few birds, very little fruit, and that strict orders forbid being touched, the Indians making a great stand for their bananas. There are plenty of small trout in the streams, some monkeys swinging by their tails from the distant trees, and plenty of creeping, crawling, and stinging things, be side coral snakes, which say are “ mur/io molo and tliey-Sre fond of creeping into camp of nights. VQ) start in time at 7 A.M. and return at Th to wash our-’ selves and our clothes,>and get on anything dry we are happy enough to have; tllen feed whue the food lasts (now and then there is none); then smoke, and when the rain doesn’t put the fire out we dry clothes; then fix up bunks, and at 8 o’clock turn in. We then scratch, and kick, and cufif, untik after saying our prayers at least four times in onr despera tion, we at length fall asleep, generally to wake up ; wlien the musketoes and creepers have conquered sleep, and rise to go oft' and doze in the smoke of. the. tires till morning. Of the value of the explorations, and ultimate success of the Canal, 1 have no doubti.— Tr : bune. ' . • THE BATES 1' OCEAX HOBBOB TlieJLost Ship Crest of tbe IVarc—Hnw bbe Went Ashore on Cobb’s Island and the Terrible Fale el Ail on Board.; The IS'. Y. Herald says : ' Only brief despatches concerning the/wreck of the ship Crest of the Wave, on a reef, near Cobb’s Island, and tbe announcement of the loss of all on board, have been given until this time. The ship sailed from .Liverpool on the Bth of March last, bound to Baltimore, with a cargo of 500 tons of salt and 800 tons of general merchandise, although it has been reported she was laden prmcinallv with railroad iron. She was ‘built 'in Warren, Maine, in 18.54, of 940 tons burthen, commanded by Captain Jones, and owned by his brother, Alexander Jones, ot East Balti more. The stoiy of the furious gale that tore the .vessel's sails from their fastenings, the heavy seas that washed her decks, the relent less waves that dashed her staunch hull on the rocks, the critical moment when the crew and officers took to the boats to save their lives and were dashed—gasping, strangling—into the watery gulf will never bo told. Their sufferings of body and anxiety of mind, could they ho known, would undoubtedly till an other page of terror in the huge volume of the terrible ordeals, the heroism and deaths of noble men and women on the-deep sea that a thousand times has sent the shafts of anguish into the souls of the civilized world. One consolation remains, poor though it be that a portion of the bodies ot the crew have beeen washed ashore and received Christian burial at tber-hahdswthnmane men. Besides the threp bodies found-\wbioh show that the experiences they passed through before death were terrible—there have bt»6n washed ashore on Cobb’eYTsland, quantities of women’s and children’s clpthing, leading those who picked them up to-, believe that with the hardy manners, who suffered the fearlul death of drowning, delicate women and tender babies were among them as passengers and met the same fate. THE TRIBUNE FREE BOYERS. Horace Greeley's Defence of Ttiem. The New York Sun says: Mr. Greeley is making a serious mistake in putting himsolf before the world as the champion of the gang of Free-Lovers who havft for the last few years made the Tribune office their headquarters. We know that, personally, ho is entirely sonnd on the mar riage question: but his benevolence and kindly sympathy for plausible rascality, whioh have so often involved him in scrapes before, are now leading him into an apparent advo cacy of immorality, which cannot fail to do great damage to his reputation. Just as he suffered himself to be coaxed into lending his sanction to the infamous mock-marriage at the Astor House, between Mr. Richardson and the wife of Daniel McFarland, be now has undertaken to defend tho women who played a prominent part in bringing about the whole of the awful catastrophe of which that outrageous ceremony was the culmination. #*** * - * As to the letters, is it true that “whatever evil is in them will be made out of the heart of tho commentator ?” Is it no evil for one wo man to urge another woman to leave her hus band and take her children with her, or to commend to her esteem a man whom she must know to bo a lover with criminal inten tions? The whole burden of tho letters is abuse of the husband, praise of the adulterous lover, solicitations to break the iiiarrmge tie, and encouragement to get the children away from their father j with rosy pictures of wealth, fnmoi and happiness as the result. Yet Mr. Greeley sees nothing in these letters which the writers should wish to blot I Verily, if such •he their efiect on such a mind as Lis, there must bo a Corrupting influence iu the atmo sphere of the Tribune office, which loss intel lectual people will do well to shun. —The first person that congratulated Pierre Bonaparte upon his acnulttal at Tours, was no other than Gen.

We iind the tis tics in an exchange, borrowed from aCin cinnati journal. The divorces for the last live years are classified as follows: . . ~ 1895.1806. 38C7.1868.1869. Adultery..,. .... 254 389 317. 233 240 Absence and neglect. 230 394 417 .865 400 Cruelty,. 199 134 132 114 ISO Drunkenness 48 79 73 66 84. £™ ud .-. i» .30 10 9 18 Miscellaneous.. 183 133 20 GO 41 T0ta1...., .... <J37 i, 159 975 817 I.OOS nut this exhibit, when further explained ia even more startling. In 1869, the divorces bore the relation to the marriages of 1 to 26 ' in 18b», of Ito .'10; in 1869, ofl to 24. The ?™P ra i? e ann ual number of marriages is Ito 300 ot population; the average- number of*, divorces to population isl to 2,300; the av erage of divorces to marriages is Ito 28. At this-rate, m ten years Ohio, allowing for the increase in population, will have 300,000 mar riages and 30,000 divorces. That this rate is not exaggerated may be inferred from, the iact that lor a]] causes the divorce*s during the years 1865-09 have been 4,900. Is it not almost speak in Ohio of the “marriage IIABD CASH. Silver Coin In Canada. The Silver Coin Proclamation ria now. in torce in Canada, causing a depreciation, ot 30 j per cent, in the value of silver coin.- To pre vent too great a loss, the government will re ceive to a very large amount silver at a disV count of only G per cent. The. Montreal'TOle graph Company offers to take American money at forty-eight cents for the half-dollar ■ twenty-four cents for quarters, dimes for nine cents, and half-dimes for four cents. This com pany violates the provisions of the proclama tion in some important respects, and also a statute. It advertises the rates at which it will receive American and ' British silver, and it sets a less value on British- ’ silver than that prescribed by law. By the consolidated statutes/ as the Montreal Gazette whows, British silver is legal tender for £lO *. fonts proportionate part of the. pound ster- > hng, $4 *3 2-3. This for the shilling would ba 24 1-3 cents, and for the florin 48 2-3 cants The Telegraph Company pay at the rate of only 45 cents for the florin. The Gazette Ue heves that one per cent, in favor ofsiiverover bills will be sufficient to keep silver out and bills in. It thinks also that 24 eents will-be •he rate f°r American quarters and British shillings, and that they will not circulate with fractional currency worth gold, “ unless sonny further step is taken.” „ , Importations. „hiladolphia Eisnln?
