By the steamer North American, which has been intercepted off Father Point, we giro four days* later nows from Europe. Spain has declared war Against Moroooo, and it was feared that thero would be difficulty between England and Pranoo. Tho Gahawba arrived at New York on Saturday, with Havana advices dated tho 30th ulfc. The oifcy was very healthy. Sugars wore quiet in tho mar ket, with one hundred and thirty thousand boxes on hand in Havana and at M&tansas. The long litigated case of the American bark J. J. Cobb bad been decided, and tho vessel declared a dere-f lict, not a slaver. Government will not require United States mail steamers to exhibit consular certificates of manifests of cargo for Cuban ports. Two vessels from Portland had got into difficulty with respect to customs dues. A Havana letter of tho 30th says thore is a report of a conspiracy, or something of, that‘character, having been disoo* vorod amongst certain military officers and the sol diery at M&tanzas. Various arrests are understood to have taken place, but no farther particulars have boon permitted to roach the public ear. Tho Cincinnati Tfwejr, of November 4, contains * tho following account of tho discovery of a secret organization in Kentucky, having for its objoot a slave insurrection: “ Two anonymous letters wore received through tho post office at Cynthiana,Kentuoky, announcing tho oxiatonco tn that locality of a seorot organiza tion, upon a plan similar to that of old Brown’s at Harper’s Perry, and having the same object in view. The letters and their contents were made public, and immediately • created a great excitement throughout Harrison and Bourbon counties, where it is alleged tho organization exists, and intended to oporate. A public meeting was oalled at Cyntbi ana, and was largely atterded. Measures were taken to promptly ferret out tho members of tho organization, and to protect tbo community against any outbreak that may be attempted among tho slaves. “The association is said to consist mostly of negroes, led and directed‘"by white men. 'lt is ohargedthatsomeof the employeos of the Coving ton and Lexington Railroad aro leaders in the movement. The anonymous letters declare that, like that of Harper’s Perry, each member of this organization is sworn to sooresy, and it is supposed that arrangements for a general outbreak were pretty .well matured. ' A vigilanoe oommitteo was organized at tho meeting of tho citizens, and the utmost precaution is observed throughout the coun try. Stringent resolutions wore passed, and tho least movement on the part of tho slaves is to be the signal for prompt notion. Great consternation and alarm exists throughout tho country, and a full supply of firearms have boen ordered by the citi zens, and a, thorough preparation is mado for any demonstration that may occur. The people of Kentucky begin to think that this matter of insur rection in their midst is becoming serious, and that it behooves thorn to-be on thoirguard, and they are preparing for it. “Thismaftor will bo thoroughly investigated, and tbo guilty parties, whoever they may be, will bo brought to justice. It is a dangerous matter to deal with among slaves, as they are, as a general thing, easily alarmed at approaoblng danger of be ing detected, and are prono to expose any evidence that may lend to the arrest of the instigators to save themselves.” A letter from Cardenas, Cuba, to the Now York Herald says: “ On the 17th ult. the American man-of-war Mo hawk nnchored off Stone Key. Two days before she arrived a slaver landed her cargo of human beinzs twelve miles from said Key. “This slaver, the owners of which belong to Havana, was expected to arrive, and the plaoo where she was to land her oargo being known, a vast amount of persons, such as generally assemble on such occasions, being composed of traders having six or eight retainers each, gamblers, and kid nappers, were in waiting. “On one of tho plantations near tbo coast thore were os many as five hundred horsemen, all of thorn armed to the teeth; in fact, it looked muoh jnore like* a warlike camp' than a plantation. There were seen the rioh trader that hod come to buy from fifty to a hundred bozales, to pay cash down; tho gunjiro (countryman), who oamo with the idea of buying five or six to help him cultivate his h&oienda; the gambler, who would at any mo ment turn trader or kidnapper, according os he woe treated by fortune ; and the kidnappers, who came with no other view but that of stealing bo z⩽ all of these, while awaiting tho arrival of tho slaver to commence operations, passed the time in gambling. “ The vessel did not keep them long waiting; sho 50911 appeared in the horizon, and rapidly nearing tho shore, oast her anchor aa olobo to land as the depfh of water • would allow. The owners then went on board to arrange matters for the dis charge. but this did not take plaoe until one o’olock at night. Then the boat loads of Africans were brought nigh unto shore, and they were mado to vndo to dry land, where they were received in side of a circle of armod men in pay of the owners. After having been all landed, the owners divided the cargo in shares, and eaoh with his respective part marched pff tA.a.mora-flftdnr» -plaoe, refusing tho brilliant offers of purohaso made. “ Out of. the 576 that were taken in at the coast, only thirteen died. • “ This baa been one of the most open and scan dalous landings. It is well known hero in town that tho Governor has been well paid to keep it quiet, and sign in blank tho schedules for the ne groes.” Tho St. Paul (Minnesota) Daily Times, of No vembor 2, furnishes us with tho following particu lars of as Indian battle near St. Ciond, a few days previously: “ We learn that a desperate fight occurred near St. Cloud on Friday last, between a small party of Chippewas, of the Red Lake band, who were re turning home from a visit to St. Paul, and a party of Sioix who had been camping for, several days near St.'Cloud for the purpose of hunt ing deer. The treaoherous Sioux met the Chip pewa*, (only five in number,) and made signs of friendly recognition, which were reolproo&ted by the latter, but no sooner had they taken the Chippewas into their good graces than they fell upon them In cold hatchery, and succeeded in killing one of their number and. wounding one or two others. Tho Chippewas, with their usual bravery, fought hard and succeeded In taking two Sioux scalps. Tho Chippewa who osoaped sworo vengeanoe against the treacherous Sioux, and started for Red Lake to,rally a war party to avenge the death of their brother. Some of the citizens of St Cloud, ns soon as they heard of the murder, formed themselves into a company and repaired to the Sioux camping ground for tho purpose of requesting the Sioux to leave forthwith. We think it is about time'some active steps were taken on the part of the authorities to compel those red skins to remain on thcirown reservations. Thoy nro slaughtering deer by hundreds on ground they hare no right to tread upon, and unless they are summarily chocked In these depredations this fine game will soon become very scaroo. And, fur ther, that the Sioux and Chippewas should bo per mitted,year in and year out, to murder each other in and yet no attempt be made by tho authorities.to bring them to justice, is as foul a disgrace as .over marked the record of a civilized country, or blackened tho name of a Christian poopJe.” . Tho Cunningham-BurdeU case came up again before the New York courts on Saturday, on an application of Mr. George D. Bulen to obtain of tho heirs to the Bardell estate $4,100, alleged to hare been expended by him in the contest bofore tho surrogate In relation to Mrs. Cunningham's olaim. Bulen claims that it was by his counsel that the coanterfcit-baby plot was discovered- It is ascertained that, tinder the laws of Virgi nia, the Governor cannot pardon & person convicted of treason to tho Commonwealth, except with the consont of tho General Assembly, declared by joint resolution. This rids Governor Wise of all responsibility in the matter of the Insurrectionist Brown. What the Legislature wifi do is not known. The Dotroit Free Press, of Novembor 4, says \ Intelligence from Washington announces the remo val of Mr. Miohaol Shoemaker from the collector ship of this port, and tho appointment of Mr. Robort W. Laviß, of Pontiac. Mr. Davis is the samo who was removed from the marshalahip of this district some fifteen months ago. In consequence of a disappointment in regard to the orator of the occasion, tho Broderick obsequies, which were to bo solemnized in New Tork yester day, have boon postponed until next Bnnday. Tho next Legislature of Maryland will stand: Senate—Twelve Domoorats to ten Americans. House—Democrats forty-seven to twenty-seven Amerio&ns. The Washington correspondent of the New Tork Tribune says that reliable letters from Biohmond state that, under no possible circumstances, will Governor Wise commute Brown’s sentence. His fate may be considered as soalod. Tho Muting Record 4* PoUsville Emporium complains that, while the price of coal in the Schuylkill region has advanced from fifteen to twenty-fire, cents per ton, great difficulty is ex perienced in finding vessels at Philadelphia to transport it eastward. Publio interest in the Bennett divorce oase Is again awakened by the foot that the petitioner in tho ease,'Mrs. Bennett', baa asked permission of the oourt to take her two ohildren by Dr. Bennett out of Connecticut.. Dr. Bonnett resists her attempt. A. M- Ball, Esq., master machinist of the Har per’s Ferry Armory, has beCn appointed master armorer, in place of Major Mills, resigned. Mr. B. has been for many years connected with the armory. The “ Great Show,’! under the auspioes of Dan Bice, at the National Theatre, promises to be one of the most prosperous and popular institutions in Philadelphia. Mr* Bice ought to feel proud of the manner in which ,he was received daring the last week. . He, hUnself, was never in better trim, and we think ire ,can promise that, the pnblio will have no reason to withdraw their support from his esta blishment during the- soison.

' N jb'ody doubts the folly and madness of John Beown. Had he a purpose td levy war upon all the Governments of the world,' and set on foot an expedition*© subvert I them, Ills title to the character of a\vild fans. tiS and reformer would not have been clearer than that which his escapade at Harper’s Fer ry has won for himself and his immediatoand mediate associates. Old Brows is a brave, chivalrous, self-sacrificing, deluded man. With just capacity enough to comprehend the value of Freedom to the race, and nono to understand the relative interests of human society, he entered upon his work at Harper’s Ferry, never doubting his success, and never dreaming for a moment that more would bo required than the simple promulgation of his well-arranged Provisional Government. Tho old man has committed a capital offence against tho ancient Commonwealth of Virginia. Ho has raised tho standard of rebellion; he has organized and put in force a servile insurrec tion. The nroof is conclusive that this wild scheme hafteen long the cherished purpose of his life. Ho had disclosed it in many places and to many persons, and sought the counsel and aid of Ids former associates in tho interest of anti-slavery. He had boon em ployed in the work of the latter in Kansas and elsewhere. They wero engaged in politics, making uje of ihe slavery agitation j poor old Brows, moro honest, believed in the justice ' and humanity of the cause, and went straight forward to put in force its principles. They had concocted a theory of freedom, with high sounding issues, the advocacy of which was to win them tho name and character of philan thropists, without taking upon themselves either the burdens of their enforcement or tho labors and risk of their practical application. Jouh Brow;, was the victim of their falso and hollow professions. If the North had been as honest as he, there would have been no agita tion about slavery, if tho Soutli had been equally honest, there would have been no con troversy, in Kansas or elsewhere, on that or any other subject. Both parties knew they were playing a game for votes, not for freedom or slavery. . , Mr. Buchanan himsolf is more guilty, in a moral sense, for the work at Harper’s Ferry, than poor old Brows:. He Was elected to the Presidency on the basis of ignoring the whole slavery question in the States analh Congress. Ho quickly abandoned his position, and went over, not to the people of the South, but tp a few Southern extremists, who suddenly con ceived the brilliant idea that they could so con strue the Federal Constitution as to make that compact proprio vtgore establish and maintain ■slavery in all the public Territories. This scheme excited deep and universal disgust in the minds of the whole country. It gave rise to an impression that the Executive Govern ment had undertaken to propagato slavery. The docision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case was bo perverted by Mr. Bu chanan, in his first message, as to cover this l>rojcct. It was boldly avowed that slavery ex isted in all the new States,« by virtue of the Constitution.” This enormous and abominable heresy was followed by an Executive policy so weak, shiftless, and time-serving, os to impair the confidence of the country in the integrity and capacity of the President, and convict him of a deliberate attempt to use his constitutional powers to propa gate the institution of slavery, not oply in opposition to, bnt in contempt of, the people, whose right it is to determine that and every other question of domestic polity. Upon minds like John Brown’s this scheme of the President was destined to exert a powerful in fluence. In proof of this wc nCed only refer to the pervading excitement which followed the public announcement of Mr. Buchanan’s policy; to the condition of the Democratic party, distracted and broken at every point; to tbo triumph of the Republicans in the free States; to the maddened zeal of the Aboli tionists; and, finally, to the Harper’s Ferry imeute, with its fatal and disgraceful incidents, resulting in Die conviction and sentence of old Brown, about the only honest and brave disciple of the entire Abolition fa mily. Had Mr. Buchanan pursued the course marked out in his election, and indicated by every sense of patriotism and fair dealing, there would have been no Harper’s Ferry es capade ; no capture, by a handful of men, of a town of three thousand inhabitants; no arrest of guilty parties; and the Government of Vir ginia might have been spared the intense mor tification of vindicating her honor, under cir cumstances so equivocal and unseemly as those attending this whole affair. Upon Mr. Buchanan rests the chief responsibility of this unfortunate stato of things. His is the moral guilt; while the legal responsibility falls upon a man honest and brave, but too weak to ap preciate either the true nature of his offence or the source of his guilt. , There are thousands and tens of thousands of John Browns in tliis country—tens of thou sands who entertained his opinions, sympa thised with his projects, and only wanted the courage and integrity to unite themselves with his criminal expedition. There are thousands in the North and thousands in tho South—men who believe that u tho sword of Gideon” should bo wielded to enforce their wild fan cies to propagate and abolish slavery. Mr. Buchanan is one of these men in every prac tical sense; and he is the chief oflendcr of all, because a misguided pcoplo have placed in his hands more weapons of mischief,, more power to do harm, than any other. His attempt to carry slavery into the midst of a hostile local opinion is of tho same character as that of John Brown to secure freedom to a people who would have none of it. If It was right in Jakes Buchanan to force slavery upon a people, it was right in John Brown to force freedom upon tho South. Their outsido of tho law, was precisely tho same. It Is unfortunate that Mr. Buchanan hod not possessed tho honesty of purpose of poor old Brown. It would have saved tho credit of the Administration and probably tho lifo of that crazy and deluded agitator. The Delegate Elections* Tho Democrats of Philadelphia have a very important duty to perform to-day, in the selec tion of delegates to the next State Convention, which will choose delegates to the Charleston Convention. The contest is an animated one, and much depends upon tho manner in which it is decided. Tho Democratic party has been led to the very verge of political ruin by tho existing National Administration, and hercu lean efforts will to-day bo made by its defend ants in this city to destroy its prospects for years to come, by committing it irrevocably to tho heretical doctrines and desperate fortunes of those who have forever forfeited the confi dence of the American people, by their unjust and tyrannical conduct. The desire is univer sal among tho honest and intelligent Demo- this city to rescue tho organization of tho party from tho fatal control of those who havo prostituted it to unwarrantable and base , purposes, and to earnestly seek political suc cess, in future, by deserving it. But tho Ad ministration officials are admirably drilled, and will spare no pains to thwart the general wishes of the party. It is therefore highly important that every Democrat who desires its future success should attend the delegate elections to-day, and thus give forco and practical effi ciency by his vote to his sentiments. Tub Maryland Election.—At the late election in Maryland, laTgc gains were made by the Democratic party in all tho interior districts. They will havo a majority on joint ballot in the State Legislature, and thus be enabled to elect a Democratic successor to tho present Senator, Mr. Fearoe. They also have, for tho first time in the history of Mary land, a majority in botli branches of tho State Legislature—in tho Senate as well os in the House—and they can do much to prevent a repetition of the Baltimore outrages by di viding that city Into small election divisions. The last Senate stood seven Democrats and fifteen Americans, but tho new Senate will contain eight Americans and fourteen Demo crats. The Hougo of Delegates is composed of seventy-four members, and, at the last ses. sion, consisted of thirty Democrats and forfcy our Americans. Tho new House will contain wenty-six Americans and forty-eight Demo crats. The Congressional delegation will pro bably stand three Democrats to three Ameri cans, as in the last Congress, and be composed of the following members; Ist District—James A. Stowart, (Dem.) ’2d “ Edwin H. Webster, (Am.) 3d “ J. M. Harris, (Am.) ,4th “ Henry Winter Davis, (Am.) sfch 11 Col. Jaoob M. Kunkel, (Dem.) Cth • ■ -Col. Geo. W. Hughes, (Dem.) Letter from “Occasional.” [Correspondence of The Prens.| —— Washington, Nov. 8,1859. Tbe Congressional burying-gronnd, about a mile east of the Capitol, is beautifully situated, nod commands a fine view of the surrounding oountry. It is a very interesting place to visit, particularly at the autumnal soason of the year, when the treos are shedding thoir leaves, and tho country is putting on its wintor garments. Hero repose the remains, or boro may bo found tho memorials, of many a bravo, stout hoart; of many a proud and glorious intellect; of many a beloved and influential loader, who, In yonder Capitol, assisted in debate or toiled for tho welfare of his country. Tho ous tom is to prepare a marble slab, marked with tho name of tho deeoasod Senator or Representative, and to place it in an appropriate spot in tho oeme tory, whether tho remains of the departed aro permitted to slumbor beneath it or aro borne to the Stato in which, during life, ho resided. As you pass through this city of tho dead, you can toll, from these stony mementoes, tho exaot dato of every death that has boon announced in Congress for m&qr years. It is the duty of the olork to causo these tombstones to bo prepared ; and it is a mournful commont upon tbe ambition which con sumes so many proud and d&riDg minds -to mark the steady additions annually made to tho long prooession of the illustrious dead. The question is frequently asked in "Washington circles, who will announoo the death of David C. Broderiok at the meeting of the two Houses on the sth of Deocmber ? By oommon consent, tho loading part in this sad ceremony will no doubt bo com mitted to tho men who were intimately associated with him during tho struggles of tho past two years. Although small in number, those bravo and independent men aro among tho ablost in oithor branch. There is not one of them who is not abun dantly qualified to speak of the merits of tho la mented Broderick in torms of fitting eulogy. John Hiokm&n, of Pennsylvania, will, of oourso, re spond to the anivorßal wish that he should give ut toranoo to tho estimate he placed upon that hero; John B. Baskin will no doubt take part in the ob sequies, whilo such men as John Q. Davis, of Indi ana, Horace F. Clarko, of New York, Garnet B. Adrain, of Now Jersoy, and Isaao N. Morris, of Il linois, will gladly bear testimony to tho strong, warm hold he possessed upon their afFeotions and their oonfidonoe. It is a mistako to suppose that Mr. Brodoriok did not enjoy tho ostoom and ro spect of many men in tho South. Ho was vory much admired by Robert H. Toombs, of Goorgia, John Bell, of Tennessee, and John J. Crittenden, of Kentuoky, while in the Republican ranks there was not one to bo found who did not cherish and avow thehighost appreciation of his forcoof character and his hoicsty of purposo. I havo no doubt that not only tho Republicans, but that somo of tho Southern Representatives and Senators will take advantage of tho Congressional custom, and render that tribute to Mr. Broderick in death whioh nil wore so free to acoord to him in life. Judge Douglas has been confined to his bod by & sadden attack of inflammatory rheumatism, and Mrs. Dougins, I am sorry to say, continues in a dangerous condition. During tho last week, especially on Wednesday, her life was despaired of. OmSaturday there was a vory slight chango for tho bettor. Her child, howovor, is jn excel lent health. It is surprising, considering that the meeting of Congress is close at hand, thnt Washington should besodull. There are comparatively fow arrivals at tho holds, and tho streets are deserted. Tho Texas State Gazette , published by John Marshall, at Austin, Texas—ono of tho most radi- cal Democrats in the South—literally boils ovor with indignation against the course of tho Con stitution, the organ of tho Administration, in’ro joicing over tho election of Sam Houston as Go vernor of Texas. Mr. Buohanan unites with the Americans in tho South, and remains a Democrat; but when a Domocrat in tho North stands up for the principles of tho Democratic party Mr. Bu chanan insists that he is a Republican. Geraldine at the Walnut. [For The Press.] It is, I think, a far more difficult thing to bo a good dramatic than a good book critic. Tho fonnor requires tho possession of several faculties and ac complishments not ofton found in combination; such ns a thorough knowledge of tho stage, its history, capabilities, and requirements; an analytic mind, and entiro absenao from prejudice. It is in this power of analysis particularly that I find tho journalists who write upon the drama deficient. They are apt to settle the merits of a piooo by say ing it is bad, but they generally omit to say why it Is bad. We would think but poorly of Mr. Buskins’ Modern Painters if, when he condemns Claude Lor raine, and accuses him of bad perspective, ho did not follow up bis condemnation with tho acuto re mark thatin a certain picturo the artist has painted, very proporly, some distantmountalnsblue, bnt also unhappily ho has dopioted fissures in tho aides of said bills, forgetting that whon mountains are so far oiT as to assume that azure huo, tho distance not alone lends cnohantmentto tho view, ns Mr. Camp bell remarks, but rondors all minor details entlroly invisible. Tboro has been far too much said about actors making their parts. The author has been com pletely overshadowed by tho hUtrion, and tho pen has been made lackey to tho buskin. It is the dramatist (who makes tho actor. He gives him his profession, for wero thoro no authors thero could not very well bo actors. Ho performs tho far nobler task of creating out of that shadowy loom that works in the mysterious chambers of tho brain, thoso eternal tapestries of thought whose subtle dyes are unfading ns the azure of boaven itself. From whence do we got tho word “poot?” Prom a Greek word signifying “ maker,” “crea tor.” Yes, truly, the poet, dramatic or other, is maker and creator. Out of materials so vague as to evade description ho builds grand and solemn edifices, be they of tho ordor lyrto or tragic, that delight tho world with their harmonious form, and their beauty fresh forever. By this comparison I havo not tho slightest in tention of depreciating tho intellectual position of the actor. I have the greatest admiration for really good acting. But I deny that the actor or actress is superior, or even equal, to tho nuthor— that is, always supposing the author to havo ge nius. It requires more talont to writo a first-class play than to play a first-olass play ; if parallelism bo allowed, then tho public roador who admirably declaims “ In Momoriam ” is as great as Mr. Ten nyson who wrote it. Tho author croatos— tho ao (or interprets. The latter has a high and noble mission to fulfil, but Thespis can never stand sido by sido with Apollo. I do not think that tho tragedy of “ Geraldine” can be said to be created by aoy one but the au thoress. That it has boon fortunato in having ad mirable interpreters no ono can deny; but tho con ception of tho charaotorof tkeheroineisUooriginnl, and too powerfully wrought out, even fo be con sidered as a mero decoration to tho talent of tho ar tist. It ii a part, it is true, which an inforior ar tist could not fill, but that is a proof of its breadth and grandeur, not of its weakness. Dramatic characters are not so clastic as thnt an actor or ac tress oan make a small ono great. I would llko to say moro on this subject, but newspapers as well ns dramatio characters ore not elastic, and I spare your columns. lonnnotholp saying, howovor, honestly, that taken as a whole, I think the part of “ Geraldine” one of the very best parts now op tho stage, and that it is impossible for any artist toorcatethat which has been alroady so well oreateil. XX. Disunion.—Tho Charleston Mercury “ improves the occasion” of the late insurrection for the dis semination of strong disunion sentiments. After referring to tho Abolition plot, published in the Now York Herald , it says : “ It is no answer to say that tho diabolical incen diaries who can in cold blood get up such a sehomo for our destruction, aro comwratively fow In num bers in tho North. It is pough for us to know that, fow or many, they havfi, by tho Constitution of tho United States, the right to come among us, to live among us, and in their good time oarry out their purposes; and, even if their purposes should fail again and again, and scaffold after scaffold shall drip with their goro, tho elements of mischief and troublo may survive them, and give now im pulse to future adventurers and fanatics. Tho great source of tho evil is, that wo aro ondor ono Govern ment with these people—that by tho Constitution they deem themselves responsible for tho institu tion of a slavery, and, therefore, they seek to over throw it. They do not plot insurrections for Cuba or Brazil. If wo had a separate Government of our own, the post offiee, all tho avonues of intercourse, tho police and military of tho country, would be undorour exclusive control. Abolitionism would die out at tho North, or its adherents would have to operate in tho South as foreign emissaries, in a country armed and prepared to cxcludo their In tercourse or arrest their designs and punish their intervention. As it is, the ‘ irrepressible conflict’ of Seward is destined to go on, although it may bo checked and suppressed by repeated failures, until ono of two things shall take place—the Union shall be dissolved or slavery abolished. Tho oxporionoo of the last twenty-fivo years, of ignominious tole ration and concession by the South, with the lights of the present refleotod on them, show to the roost bigoted unionist that there is no peaoe for the South in the Union from the forboaranoeor respect of the North. The South must control her oxen destinies or perish .” The Eastern Market.—Tho building of the Eastern Market is rapidly advancing towards completion. On to-morrow, Tuesday, tho stalls will be sold at publio auotion, by B. Scott, Jr., auctioneer, tho sale commencing at two o’clock P.

Thero had beon heavy frosts and considorablo snow in England. Parliament has been prorogued to December the 15th. Tho Paris correspondents of tho London jour nals indulge in gloomy forebodings.

Several of tho provincial journals have published simultaneously violont articles against England, which are known fo havo boon supplied by a Go vernment official. In these England is warned that an hour of trial approaches, which may put an end to her greatness forever.

The English Cabinet, it is said, will mako tho question an Europoan one. Tho London Times is of tho opinion that any danger to Europo or tho British possession of Gib raltar from the Spanish onterpriso against Moroc co is absurd, but nn attack by Franco on tho inde pondenco of Morocco nnd an attempt to annex it to Algoria would justify tho strongest remon strances in behalf of Europo. Tho London Daily JVetoi thinks that thoalli nnco of Franco nnd "Spain against Morocco, or at any rate a war simultaneously threatened by both Powors, ashy no means reassuring to Great Bri tain.

Tho report of tho examiner was tiled on the first day of May, 1858. and boing subsequently unproved, a dccreo passed, div oroing the parties libellant and respondent. On tho 6th day of March, IS'*!), Mary C Bmith presented her petition to this court, asking that tho decree of divorce might be vnentod, ami resting her application on a denial of tho charge of deser tion, and assorting thnt hor husband, to whom she was married in (loorgotown, in tho State of Ken tucky, on tho 15th of December, 1852. and xxith whom sho had subsequently resided in Philadelphia until tho second day of August. 1855, tho day of tho alleged desertion, sent hor to (leorgotou n, where her fathor’s family resided; and asserting thnt it was by horhuaband’a consent ami oxpress direction that she loft Philadelphia to visit her friends in Georgetown; her husband procuring her ticket and paying the faro of the journey ; and thnt ho plnced hor in charge of a gentleman and his wife, named in said petition, and charges that tho first intima tion given to hor by hor husband thnt ho intended to soparato from hor was contained in alottor dated August 20th, 1855. She further asserts an ontiro ignorance of tho proceedings instituted for a di vorce, and that tho first knowledge sho obtained in rotation thoroto was a cortifionto of tho decree, forwarded to her by hor husband, after it had been made. Upon tho presentation of tho respondent’s peti tion tho present rulo was granted; but prior there- to— to wit, on tho 22d of February, 1859->'th° HbeU lant had died; this fact makes tho enso o somewhat novel ono, ami present l ? questions of cmb rtrrft?

Tln-clUet of tho % dis wife. And within a brief space of timo aftor hoi departure, bo broko up housekeeping; sold bis furniture ; hnd his house sold by arrange ment. by tho sheiilf. The testimony also showed unit Mrs. Smith's departure for Kentucky was by the consent of her husband. These facts appear by the deposition- 1 taken in support of the rule. J3y tho depositions taken in rc'd-’tanco of the pro sent application, it is shown that Harvey J. Smith and his wifo did not livo happily together; that efforts wero mado by their friends to reconcile their difficulties, and that respondent, in July, 1855, stnted to her father-in-law that rhowoß going homo with her mother, and that witness told her that Imr husband said that he had no objections to hor going, if she it. jjy another witness it is shown that Mrs Finith stated in Philadelphia, a few days before leaving for Georgetown, that sho did not o.xpcot to go back again ; that she would not grieve over tho rnattor, ns sho would not live with any man who did not wish to live with her. That liboUnnt said that if his wife wished to go to Kentucky, ho had no objections, and afterward.*, that he did not intend to v!s>t hor, or scud for her. In n letter written by Harvey J. Smith to bis wifo, upon (lie 29th of August, 1855, twenty-seven days after tho day sworn to by him as tho dnv upon which the desertion took place, ho refers to reports. spread through Northern Kentucky, of a separation having takon place between them, nnd says • “ This has been forced upon ino, before any surh i c arrived at Ifhreen you am! He nd-! a : *• I said to father, while here, (be foro sho left Philadelphia.) that I had ln*t all hopo of our being happy together, nnd that n friendly separation would be tho best thing for us both that could be agreed upon. I felt it and said it; I rtill feci it and any it.’” Tn tho same loiter ho writes: “ You certainly will join mo in saying (in view of their disagreement) that it will lie best for us to separate, ] sincerely hopo the change ve me about t» male will bo made in friendship on both sides.” To this loiter tho respondent replied under dato of September 10th. 1855, saying : Under any pos sible circumstances, for any conceivable reason, the dissolution of tho tio that has bound mo to you us your wifo would bo a most painful act, nnd my I consent could novor be given, but from tho clearest conviction that it was my duty to myself, to my famllv, arid to God. Ilut I owo it to you to say that f ran never give my conrent to a separation, for reasons which involvo nn admission on my part that I have over been unfaithful.to you. or that I have not, to the best of my ability, and with a sin cere de-dro to promote your happiness, discharged all the duties devolving on ine ns your wife.” Tn tho answer of libellant to the lottcr of bis wife. I upon tho 25th of September following, ho pays : * l If not influenced, Ac , you would at once give your 1 fren consent to n friendly and final separation In n*king thi q , you must not suppose I hnvo not boon j mado unhappy by tho unfortunate circumstances which now urge mo to tho decided courso I havo taken. Tho testimony thus referred to in brief, estab lishes to our satisfaction tho fact that on the 2d day of August, 1855, Mary C Smith hnd not wil fully nnd maliciously deserted fiom the habitation of her husband ; that her departure that day was with the knowledge, consent, nnd approbation of the libellant, if indeed sho did not leave under his direction, nnd in obodicnco to bin expressed wish. Dither of these facts established by tbo evidenoe requires of us, injustice to the petitioner, who stands convicted by our judgment of a wilful violation of her ninrriago vow, that tho judgment passed In her nbaenco, without hearing, without knowledge of tho proceedings until their consum mation, should bo spared, and that the effect of thnt sentence, which declared her no longer tho I wife of tho libellant, should be removed; and thnt I *ho should bo permitted to mako defence to the ! ehnrgo jhus preferred against her in the libel filed. Hut rt i* also duo to ourselves upon tho state of facts laid beforo us to say thnt the process of tho j court has been abused; that tho libellant, by his I own admissions contained in his letters written to | lii J wife whilst in Kentucky, acknowledge, that no dcsortion had taken place, for in his letter as late as Sept. 25, ho asks her to give her consent to a fnrudly and Jinaf *ep,tratto7i ; “that consent. which had been refused ny tho wife, in her letter of September 10th, if it hnd been given, would have been ns fatal to his application for n divorce on tho ground of desertion, as if it had been shown that bo hud turned hor, without causo, out of his house, or driven her from his homo. A mere so partition by mutual consent, whothor made with or without tho further understanding thnt one of the parties shall applv for a divorce, is not desertion in cither party Tho law is not satisfied with any thing frhort of a separation with an intent to desert. And if wo look away from thn testimony of tho declared intention? of tho libellant to send his wife aw.iy from himself to her friends in Kentucky, nmi that ho would not live longer with hor, and havo regard to his letters alone and the reply of tho respondent, tho conclusion is irre sistible that no desertion hnd taken place on the 21 of August. 1855, nnd that libellant uid not then regnril bis wife's absence in the light of a deser tion; for tho admission that when respondent left Philadelphia, no agreement to sepnrato had ever been entered into, is entirely irrcconcilublo with the charge of desertion, which would have beeu, so long »s it lasted, unaccompanied by. nn offer to re turn, a most thorough nnd effectual separatum. Xor do tho declarations of tbo wifo that j-ho did not expect to return, and that sho would rot live with a tnnnwho did not wUh to live with her, con flict with tho admissions of both, that no separa tion had been agreed upon, if made. :?» they seem to Imvo been, us expressive of tho feeling mani fested by the husband toumd-s his wife, rather than as indicating her own determination upon the -uhjeot. Tho power of tho Court of Common l’k-ns to vn cate a dccrco of divorce, cntcied at a previous term, vvhero it whs obtained by a fraud practiced on tbo court, was settled in the case of Allen v. Mitcbdlan, 2 Jones itjß. Tho court havo the power of nummary revi-ion, and hold in their own nands . tho moans of correcting a wrong thus perpetrated. Objection is taken to thesoproceedings upon tho ground of laches in tho respondent, in making her application to vacate the decree, made May iStb, 1858. This lulo w.ts not taken tor near ten months thcrenftor. Hut the fact of her r.b-enco m a di.— taut State being all the time beyond the jurisdic tion of tho court, and it not being shown that‘•he hnd tho means nr the ability to make an earlier application for relief, and the delay in part ex plained by the statement of counsel of lo'.sof pa pers, nnd the necessity of sending others to Ken tucky for ic-excctition, aro a sufficient answer to this objection, which being thus disposed of, tho rulo talieti in thi* ease is mado absolute; nnd it is ordoted that the decree of the 18th of May, ISSB, divorcing Harvey J. Smith and Mary C Mnith, his wife, from the bonds of matrimony, be vacated and annulled, tho said deeicahaving been obtained by fraud practised on tbo court. T HE CIT Y .

Crnris, Esq., ov “ Dickkxs.’’—lt will enough for the reading community to know that the next of the People’s Literary Institute Coarts of Lectures will be delivered upon the most eminent English author, by one of his most talented and aeeom pushed American admirers, to insure a crowded audi ence. Ofalltho lectures of the present season, that which is promised to our readers on next Thursday eve ning they can least to miss heariny. It affords a most splendid field for Mr. Curtis to exert his genius to the beht advantace, *s the subject is thoroughly lite rary, ird in this respect, perhaps, more perfectly ailapted to his taste and peculiarities as s scholar ar.d iecturer than any upon which he has heretofore lec tured before a Philadelphia andlenkc. Vpon the whole, it may safely be predinted that the moat attractive en tertainment of next Thursday evening will be Curtis cn Dickwns, at Csneert Hail. Popt’LAß StOVR ESTABLISHMENT.”—Coder this head, in our Saturday** edition, ve referred, at some length, to several valuable improvement* recently made upon the relebrat’d Silver’* Ga*-con*uminf Par lor Stove, by Mr. John S. Class, No. 1008 Market street. By an error, the impression tu conveyed that a part of the improvements then referred to ■were doe to another manufacturer, which are here bes to correct, aiovori one of the improvements then named ore Mr. Cluix’s, sn»l hence the great popularity of hi* stores, going a* they noware, into every part of the Union, and. as we then stated, are, in all probability, soon to be introduced in the Capitol at Washington. If the reader will therefore again refer to the artiele in ques tion, and read the name of Mr. John F. Clark wher eier the inventor’s name is introduced, he will obtain the correct impression intended to be conveyed. We deem it proper to make this correction, inasmuch a* we are sire our readers generally will thank u* for direct in? attention to whnt seems to us the most desirable stosa for parlor, chamber, dining-room.or omee use ever mi entf d*; and all who are in want will do well to i a’l at Mr. Clark’s and examine his immense stock be fore purchasing.
