The Grand - Duke was on duty atthe time on deck,: and,. understanding, the Admiral's reasons for giving the order, refused point blank to obey it. "My ditty," he said,"is here, and' I must be the, last to leave the ship." "Do you know, sir," demanded the Admiral, " that you are under my command, and dare 'you to refuse to obey my orders ?" "." I will obey," the youpg man.anewored firmly, " any ordure vou may cliaoee to give me, except the one to leavee the ship, where it'is rnY_ duty now,to re : main:''. As it.wae impossible to. enforce ohe dience4indermuch -eircumstancesi , theAdmi-- ral was Oliged to yield thepoint, and the r's Empero son was the last to leave the ship. As soon as the landing was effected and prepa rations were made to ebeampou the shore the' Admiral ordered the brave young middy to be pladed under arrest for disobedience'of orders. Having done so he despatched to the. Emperor, an acconfit - of the whole atlair. To this the Emperor at once replied : "I. approve your having put the midshipman Alexis under arrest for disobedienee; and I bless my boy for - havieg.disobey ed." - The -Grand—Duke-is de scribed as being a most remarkably handsome titan...

Its chief value in an American library consists in its being one of the first books existing that gives an account of the earliest voyages to the New World. It contains the famous passage of Jarobtun Callum and Martin Bahaim, and their travels in America. The most valuable work'obtained by President Cattell is a fine copy of " Soling," edition of 1520. This contains the first map that bears the name of America. It is inscribed " America Provincia," and yet, singularly enough, has another insCrip don giving the credit of the discovery—not to Americus Vespucius—but to Columbus, placing the data-however, at A,-D:1497: Of this there seems to be no copy in any of the great American libraries. Such additions as these to the library of an American Uni versity will be of great advantage to all wish ing to consult it_on questions pertaining to the early history of the Western Continent.

THE COURTS. INCOME TAX' IN INDIA. Evasion Genevall—ats Penticton's 'Wisp encerand Inequality. , The consequences attending the colle-Rion of an income tar in India are thus described in a letter to the Letidon Timexby Mr.S.Laing, M. P., ex-Finance Minister of India. It Is plain tbat the oldections lie gives have, to a great extent, agerieral. application : Onelninst have been in. India to understand the really formidable Objections 'which exist -to- • • - ..* - idea of an inquisition into incomes is abhor rent to the Oriental mind. Evasion, only too common even in England, becomes almost a virtue in the East, and the point of honor is to cheat the assessor. Suspicion and alarm are also carried to an extent which, to an Euro pean mind, appears almost incredible. When .1 was in India there were several well authenticated cases of suicide, committed by persons in respectable positions, for no other motive than to escape assessment for the income tax. Il barbarous frontier tribe revolted, and when the cause was investigated it was found that some over-zealous collectors bad sent the chieis assessment papers.under Schedule I)....Moreover t _the native_agents,. m through who, the details of assessment -and collection •of an. income tax man necessarily he worked, are often corrupt, and too apt to extort 'money by - abusing the authority of their position, and playing upon the imagi nary terrors of those subjected to assessment. The result is that the minimum of income is obtained from the native - population - with a. maximum of annoyance and discontent. Then, as regards "the European - portion' of the community, the income tax falls heavily on a class of men who, as ageneral rule are ill able to support it, viz., the officers of'-the -civil-and r military- service: - The-days -are-long gone by when fortunes could - le made in India; and the increased .cost of living; the support of - families in England, and other things which have become necessities, have reduced the governing class in India, as a general rule, to the position of poor gentle , men. They are probably the finest class of admin istrators in the world, take them all in all; thorough English gentlemen developed by the responsibilities of their position often into .oldiers and statesmen—almost always into men of intelligence and acquirements. But they are poor, and, as a general rule, have a hard struggle to maintain their position. critertn - takh sixpence or seven pence in the pound oft such men's incomes, which were almost the terms of the contract tinder which they enlisted fdr service in-an unhealthy climate, for no State -necessity, but to enable some Secretary of State to boast-that 1w is arigi d financier, by charging the Cost of building barracks and constructing forts and railways to annual revenue, and -thus manu facturing a - deticit when the Budgets of any other civilized State in the world would show a surplus. THE CANADIAN FISHERIE.I. The Coming tiquohble. The London' Telegraph of May 24th intimates that if the.present dispute abmittheeanadian. fisheries leads to strife between the Dominion anti the - United States, _England will have no hand in it. . The following is the language.. of Toe Telegraph : Yesterday's despatch from New York about the Canadian fisherieS 'refers to a Iliaputed qiiestion that, if carefully mismanaged, might lead to strife. There wore old treaties under which American fishermen bad certain privi leges of fishing in Canadian waters : but these treaties are now extinct, and until_ their re newal Unite , l States subjects.must fall ba.ckon their bare international right. This consists .iniply in liberty to fish in any water not less t bun three mi les from -• the • Canadian coast. One would think this expression simple enough, and capable of easy interpretation ; but it is not so, for the question arises, if there is a deep and enmparativel: uarrOw Canadian bay, might not the foreign ers fish in the bay, and still keep three miles from any actual Canadian laud Therefore, -ay the colonial statesmen, the coast line must he presumed to be drawn from headland to headland of such bay. But if so, reply the Americans, you might enclose whole tracts of • . • ' ee r such_a.line_drawn-aetev ihe Bay of Biscay would give an enormous ,weep of national water to the sea-coast " 'Where to draw the line" is there tore the old difficulty which we see here re newed. The question can be settled only by Canadians and Americans discussing it as a matter of give and take. The trade between the two countries is of grow ing importance, and if the United States give an equivalent in the shape of some reduction of tariff, the Canadians will no doubt be quite ready to grant, by way of reciprocity, exten sive privileges to Yankee fishermen. .Fortu nately for us we are " out of it;" since the question concerns Canada—in these matters a practically "independent power"—and the United States its great neighbor. The United States Government has, we learn, warned American fishermen to respect the- Canadian regulations, and has thus smoothed the way for compromise.

I should unqufttiouably have proven to ,my audience that I had not as cended the rostrum for the mere purpose of gaining notoriety, but that I had appeared in public for the purpose - ot delivering the lec ture as announced by the press on a subject of great interest. What Sorosta It was my desire to appear' in my own at tire, and not in a mascWina garb. I had'in tended „to wear a- long black silk dress, with sacque orthe - same roateriali-brit-rtvaS-diTetr ruled by two of the leading members of Soro sis, who counselled me to appear in gorgeous attire, and, considering their age and experi ence, I complied with their wishes. For fully fifteen minutes I conversed with Mrs. S.. and Mrs. P. before going - upon the stage, and net a single word or displeasure against my style of attire fell unon my ear. On the contrary, - Alm. P. called me "a glonous 'creature," and Mrs: S. told me not to stand like a stick upon the rostrum, but to walk to and fro, thereby giving a graceful flow to my train. I made _rny_ appearance at seven minutes. past eight o'clock, and not at nalf-past eight, as was stated. After speaking some three Minntes - I WAS told—nay, almost forced—to leave the stand. Receiving such untoward treatment at the hands of one who bad promised to aid me, I, as a natural consequence, lost what little presence of mind I bad. and gave way to a regular "stage fright." May I not blame others as well. as myself for this? had desired to impose upon the credulity of the public I should have gone elsewhere, and not appeared in New York, where the press is so powerful and can make or mar one? . No. The fact is that there was something radically wrong in the advice -given- - me—by- those - - I-thought lily friends; Without the slightest hesitation I acknow ledge my lecture of the 2d instant to have been a failure, but am unwilling to be spoken of as "a fraud." v . Whatever error . I may have committed I am perfectly willing to rectify and make good. Least of all do I desire that those 'who ex tended disinterested patronage to me should suffer by my failure.

Pnixcx.ss EDITIIA. We sincerely regret that the stoFy.sent from the agent of the Associated Press in contradic don of the maSkiere of Jews in Roumania is not true. There is no possible real in for doubting the sultitantial'accuraey of the despatch as origihallyAitiblished by the American Press Assolfilion, and almost — immediately con firmed by the Askociated Press. The agent of the American PreSs AsSodiation telegraphed to the London agent for confirmation and ex -planation, and his answer, in another column; leaves, we fear, no hope for contradiction. It is probable, and we fain hope it will prate so, hatin the hurry of transmission some of the de tails may have been exaggerated. Such things frequeittur lunarrating events of terror and magnitude. It was so in our early rebel lion battles, and in the New Orleans massacre. It would also be to the interest of Turkey to soften the-details, and to avoid in some way the anger of the Christian world which such a massacre would occasion. What we know is that for a long time there have been discontent affil - relrgi - 51 - lAiscoririTatotnnania. e Tree Church has been peculiarly severe in its dealine-s with the Jews. The Czar has been harsh in his military and eivil laws. The Jews have been prosperous and thrifty, and to religions fanatieism. jealousy and hatred were added. This information is based on .lespatches received by the Central Committee ) 1 the Israelite Universelle Alliance at Paris. Yet,. with every corroborating evidence, the A!•soomted Press journals would have us be lieve that some grave hoax has been per petrated ; something, for instance, like the Associated Press announeement of the City of Boston's arrival. The Trilnwe, discrediting Mr. Smalley, and not being familiar with its own despatches, intimates that it was manu factured in New York by the American Press Association, which it calls an " irresponsible association," and, being " unable to buy the news, finds a ready resource in inventing it." We have seen and fully scrutinized the cable despatch received by the A. P. A. from Lon don. It came from our agent, who has never failed us, and who has frequently furnished readers of the Tribune the most interesting news, and is a clear, full, intelligible despatch. Is it not time that newspapers with high and honorable name like the Tribune should cease to be the ' lackey of the Associated Press, and hasten to defame and throw cyn icism upon the honest news of careful and painstaking news-gatherers ? This striking evidence of the accuracy of the news furnished to the New York Standard by the \Association which- does it such good-service-cannot be lost tipon an independent presS.—.Y. Y.

TIM LECTFBE BY , . Ta I6..DAVOIFFEB OF LOLA RIONTEZ. A TREE DESPATCH. The Roumania Massacre. DEATH PENALTY IN PRUSSIA. The Nev Code. A motion, excluding the punishment of death from the new penal code about to be ailepted in North Germany, was withdrawn on May 23d in the North German Parliament. n err Bismarck, in opposing the motion, said that the Federal Governments had - fmide con siderable sacrifice to insure the adoption of the new code, and that if tho death penalty were abolished, the unity of the law would bo destroyed, and two classes of German citizens he established. The North Gei.utan Co r re -1)(, nflu,t points out that the new code is in many respects superior to the existing law of Prussia. Its general tendency is to lighten punishment. The North Gm/um Uorrespoodeot says, indeed that, should the new code be in troduced, "the sum total of the sentences of imprisonment passed in Prussia alone would be annually decreased by thousands of years." THE WALLS OF TROY. THE SAN DOMINGO SWINDLE. Unfavorable Remora Concerning. Me Dom Doxology,- Treaty Alegotlatlons. The Washington correspondent of the Herald says: For some time past there have been rumors in eirculAion to the effect that an investiga tion would be set on foot by the Senate con cerning the manner in which the San Domingo treaty was negotiated and other matters con nected therewith. Senator Sumner stated to our---= - -corresporiderne=thne---ag. : . Senators had advised him to move. as the Chairman of the Committee on For eign Relations, for such an investigation, and that they had furnished him with facts which, could they be substantiated, would warrant an investigation. To all state ments of this sort ho steadily replied that if the proof was placed in his hands he would feel-it to be his duty to ask. the. Senate to take action. He was not disposed, however, to do anything that-would injure the reputation of certain persons connected with the treaty. Thepresence here of Joseph Warren Fabens in the character of the representative of the Dominicangovernment has, it appears, added freaks - 41) . 1moms to thoseAlreadyentertained by Senators relatite to the treaty. Mr. h'abens,it seems,has Re were as an en voy pot usually con ferred on ministers and plenipotentiaries of the first class. He informed Mr. Sumner that he bad full powers to do as he pleased. President Baez bad not given him any instructions. He had nothing in this line from Baez but a carte blanche, with Baez's name signed to it. If the treaty in its present shape _could not be.ratifled ho was willing to' amend it in any shape Mr. Sumner would suggest. All he wanted was to have St. Domingo annexed, and he was not particular about the manner in - - which it was - done. This after noon, while the Senate was in Executive session, General Schurz, -a. member of -the Foreign Relations Committee, offered a reso lution instructing_that Committee lb investi gate the manner in which the treaty was ne gotiated ; the relations of Mr. Fabeus and Mr. Cazenau thereto ; the amount which the island will ultimately cost the United States provided it is annexed; the ripiantity of land and other property in St. Domingo now claimed by certain parties ; the amount of the public debt of the Dominican govern ment, &c., with powers to examine witnesses and to send for persons and papers. Senators Thayer and Morton objected to the_resolution_ and under the rules it went over until the next executive session, when it is the inten tion of Senator Schurz to call it up. There are various theories among. Senators about the object of the resolution. Some think it is in troduced just at this time for the purpose of having an unfavorable effect upon the,treaty by throwing suspicion upon it; others are of opinion that the object is to post pone_ action on the treaty until after the Ist of July, the time at which the ratifica tions are to be exchan"ed.„, Senator Schurz declares that helms no other object in alibiing the resolution except to get at the truth ex falt.ity of the various statements made concern ing-the negotiation of the treaty. — The - friends of the treaty will tight the resolution, and as it onlyrequires a majority vote to defeat it, it is believed that it will not be adopted. An in vestigation of this kind will have one good ef fect at least. It yvill either establish the truth of all the stories afloat, or result in clearing away spots on the reputation of several gentle men whose names have been mixed up un pleasantly with the negotiations. THE CIIRISTI4N CONFERENCE. The Invitation trent the President. The following letter was sent to London en dorsing the proposition to hold ..a great Pro testant Council in this country: " WASHINGTON, May 10.—Having heard of the intended General Conference of eminent divines, learned professors and others, from foreign countries and our own, to be held in '-ew York, in September n - ext: - mider — th auspices of the Evangelical Alliance, we have great pleasure in expressing our interest in that important assemblage of great and good men, our approval of the objects contem plated by it, and the hope that its delibera ions may tend to the advancement of civil and religious liberty, and the promotion of peace-and-good-will-among-men. •‘ U. S. GRANT, President of the United States. SrHrrrrr. COLFAX, Vice President. AMILTON Fist!, Secretary of State." MUSICAL. English Opera at the Academy. —The Richings English Opera Company began an engagement at the Academy of Music ;ast night, with Adam's comic opera, The P(0;114 , 11(11 Loqiiontatt. Years ago this opera was a great favorite in Philadelphia. It was sung very often upon the stage, and the popu lar airs were arranged for piano and voice, and were sold in the music stores to the young ladies of the period, to be hammered out upon the shrill pianos which Were then in fashion. The opera has not been given here more than once or twice for many years past, and upon its preSentation last night much of it was entirely new to the younger persons present. It is a very charming composition, and is well worthy of a place upon our stage. It is tilled with beautiful melodies and with charminglconcerted music, which is in nice accord with the spirit of the inter esting plot and sprightly or pathetic as occasion may require. Some of the airs are really remarkable for their originality and beauty, and We ean eaSily'iiiideriltandu , hy, in days gone by, they should have caught the popular fancy, and have been whistled and sung and played by everybody. The orches , tration is even better than the vocal score. It. is full fl i t delightful effects from beginning to end, and is written with elaborate care, and with skill and tine sensibility which prove the genius of the author. It is simply fair to say of Mr. Behrens' orchestra that it played this graceful and elegant music last night in such an admirable manner that uo fault can pos sibly be found with" the performance. The members of the company also acquitted them selves handsomely. Mrs. Bernard upon her appearance was greeted so warmly that she must have been convinced of the existence of a peculiarly good feeling for her among the audience. She sustained the char acter of " Madelaine," and gave a most satisfactory personation. Her voice is as fresh as ever, and her execution, as of old, - is ro• tuarkable for its care and-precision, and cot rectness. She played with grace and feeling; and rare good humor throuhout the opera. The performance of Brookhouso BoWler as " Chanelou " was in many respects capital,but it hardly deserves unstinted praise. Mr. Bonder sang flat over and over again iu sey -erid of the prettiest aits f iandnpon several oc casions he indulged the ugly, trick of sliding his voice into falsetto,where he had to take a - high note. This is abominable, and would ruin the reputation of any singer: - But Mr. Bowler sung much or the music well and he ' acted throughout with spirit, intelligence and grace. We have recognized him upon former occasions as an artist of very considerable merit. , Mr. Henry O. Poakes appeared as " Bijou" and gave a good performance. His singling was marred by hoarsenessi_and.:Mr_ Peakes was unable to do himself complete justice. He haS q stiperb bass voice, and he is. PRICE THREE CENTS. a good singer. Tire limits of the part and hie cold both pre.sented a fair exhibition of his powers. The subordinate parch Were givea very nicely and the chorus was' excellent. act-night Mr. Behrens the musical direotOr of the company will have a benefit, and he promises to present Me Huguenots in splendid* etyle, for the first time in this City in- English. There will be a large chorus, an orchestra composed of forty of The best instrumental musicians in this city, and a cast including all the reemberii-of-the-compart• , - is particularly enthusiastio - over thepretniae of a first-rate performance r particularlp in the third and fourth acts. We hope this Wortl9y gentleman will have a crowded house. He is well known to the people of this coramaui as a talented musician and an estimabler indi vidnal ; and ore liope the opera goers whonret aware of these facts will prove their appre ciation of them by turning ourin force. -2 _ We said yesterday, accidentally, that ilFo 'otor e would be given upon the occastonrof Mr. Pennoyer'a benefit upon , Wednesday night.
