de Larive distinguished himself at an early age by many important experiments, and by the publication of scientific articles. His investigations into the principles or heat were among the most noteworthy or his researches. In 1822 he was appointed to tbe chair of medicine iu the Academy of Geneva, and has since that time been engaged tn chemical studies. A Woman Bound and Gagaed by A bouse on Morris street, Philadelphia, occupied by Mrs. Vigors, was entered by burglars Friday night.

Colonel Thomas II. Wynne, that during the fiscal year which ended 30th September tbe receipts were $100,227, and the expendl tares $145,407. leaving a balance of $14,820. The road bed is represented to be in very good order. One hundred tons of new rails bave been laid where they were most needed.

Drowning op Children in a Canal. Three children were drowned by the siukiug of tho Reading canal boat In the Delaware river, near Bordentowu, N. on Thursday morning. The boat was sunk by a collision with a tow boat. The captain and wife saved themselves, bnt the children, frightened by the collision, ran back iuto the caoiu, and could not be rescued.

The Span lata-Amerlean Protocol-Views of tbe JPress. The agreement upon which the settlement of the Virginlus difficulty is based does not meet with the unqualified approval of the press of the country. It is evident that while there ia a sense of relief at the probable avoidance of serious trouble the terms of the protocol do not afford that satisfaction which it was reasonable to expect in view of the decided attitude of tbe United States government as presumed to have been originally taken. The concessions made by our government in the modifications and provisos in behalf ot Spain could only be allowable in view of the weakness of that government a kind of recognition almost of imbecility on tbe part of the latter and on the principle that a strong nation can afford to be magnanimous to a less fortunate one. The United States have certainly been very magnanimous toward Spain on this occasion, when we remember the vain protests made five years ago to the very unreasonable and bloody laws by which tbe captain general of Cuba undertook to try all tbe world as if all other nations were at the feet of Spain.

The following extracts from various prominent journals will indicate the tone of sentiment on the subject of tho settlement: From the New York Sun. It docs not meet the exigencies of the case. It provides no adequate reparation for the outrage. It contains no guarantee of pecuniary indemnity; and it affords no assurance that the insult to our flag will not be repeated by Spanish crnisers on some future occasion. This is no new coutroversy.

On March 24, 1809. Captain General Dulce published in Havana the following decree: "Vessels which may be captared in Spanish waters or on the high sea near to tbe islaud having on board men, arms, aud munitions or effects that can in any manner contribute to. promote, or foment the insurrection In mis province, whatsoever their derivation and destination, after examination of their papers and registries, shall be de facto considered as enemies of the integrity of our territory, aud treated as pirates in accordance with the ordinances of the navy. "All captured iu such vessels, without regard to their number, will be immediately executed." Against thia decree and the doctrine on which it is founded, our administration protested. "This government," said Mr.

Fish, in the conclusion of his dispatch, "certainly cannot assent to the punishment by Spanish authorities of any citizen of the United States for tbe exercise of privilege to which he may bo entitled under public law and treaties." Again, on the 7th of July, 18ii9, Caballero de Rodas, the new captain general of Cuba, issued another decree with capture all vessels carrying articles contraband of war in Cuban waters, and their crews with punishment for piracy. Against this decree Mr. Fish also put in a protest, from Which we cite the following language: "if Snain be at war with Cuba the United New Catholic Churches. The new St. Ann's church.

York road, near Boundary avenue, built by the late Capt. Wm. Kennedy, will be ready for dedication in a short time. It is now almost completed, and exhibits a decidedly tasteful ap- Searance. Archbishop Bayley will perform the edicatory services, which are expected to occnr on next Sunday week, it being tbe intention of Father Bartlett to bave the church In 'operation before the feast of Christmas.

The choir of will consist entirely of male voices, and will comprise fifty boys, ranging in years from eleven to sixteen all of whom are now receiving gratuitous instruction. The music will be the old Gregorian chant, which Father Bartlett consider! more in consonance with the solemn dedicatory ceremonies than that usually beard in American church choirs. Tbe Gregorian chant bas prevailed since the earliest ages of Christianity is yet universally used throughout Catholic countries. The Church of tho Sacred Heart of Jesus, lower Canton, the corner-stone of which was laid four months ago, is rapidly approaching completion. The walls are already raised, and the interior of the edifice is being handsomely arrauged for worship.

This congregation will receive the spiritual attention of tbe Redemp-torist clergy stationed at St. Michael's, Lombard and Wolfe streets. The dedication will soon occur, as the workmen are actively engaged upon the structure. Ladies Belief Association. The Ladies Relief Association, organized for the humane object of aiding the poor, especially in the matter of furnishing them sustenance during tbe rigorous and trying season of winter, makes appeals for furniture, second hand or new, to furnish the places to be used for soup bouses, also beds, bed quilts, cooking utensils, aud any other articles that may be utilized for the purpose.

The lady managers of the association have themselves resolved to contribute $1 each per month to the funds of the association, and as many of thorn have voluutarily exceeded this amount, the contributious of the managers already amount to over $300, the association being tbe largest ladies' association formed in Baltimore for any purpose for a long time, and exhibiting extraordinary ardor and activity in their meritorious cause. Police Arrests During November. Hit. Evan M. Foreman, assistant clerk to the marshal of police, reports that the total number of arrests made by the police of Baltimore dnritg the month of November was 2,117, a decrease of 170 from the month of October.

Drunkenness was the chief cause of arrest. From this cause alone 002 persons got themselves into trouble, aud had to pay a fine of one dollar at least aud costs, making about $2 SO each, or go to jail. Those who have suffered may calculate for their owu satisfaction how much tho total is they have helped to pay the magistrates and the city treasury. The number of lodgings furnished at the station houses was 2,821, including 00 white females aud 11 colored females and 121 colored males. The Hibernian Society of Baltimore.

V. Saunders. A committee of seven was appointed, with A. J. Kelly chairman, who reported a leugthy preamble and six resolutions in favor of speedy action by Congress on Mr.

Sumner's civil rights bill. The preamble complains that the colored people are still under disabilities through positive or negative statute enactments in the several States, and that although special leyislntioa maybe inimical to republican government on general priuciples, yet, when the best good oi all classes is to be subserved by special and even class legislation, it should be commended aud advocated; that whereas both political parties had recogsized the colored man's status iu their platforms, thorcfore, it is earnestly requested that Congress be petitioned, through tbe national civil rights convention, to enact the Sn inner civil rights bill or some other as broad in its provisions. The resolutions also express gratitude to Mr. Sumner and others, aud recommend the appointment of av national civil rights committee by the convention, The preamble aud resolutions were unanimously adopted. The same committee also reported a preamble and resolutions, which were aoopted.

petitioning the administration, through the civil rights con-convention, in favor of the recognition of the Republic of Cuba, which has declared all men free and equal; enforcing the same by the reflection that slavery -has ceased everywhere ou this continent except under Spanish rule and in the Spanish- colonial possessions of Cuba aud Porto Rico. On motion of Isaac Myers, a resolution was also unanimously adopted instructing the delegates to the civil rights convention to" prepare a petition and present the game in person to the members of the Maryland Legislature, prayiug them to confer full civil rights upon the colored people of tne State. Addresses were made by W. C. M.

Grootne and W. V. Saunders, who defined his political eulogized Charles Sumner, and said that whenever the true advocates of republican gentleman (Mr. Hereford) was elected at both election. The canvass had subsequently been revised tinder an aet of the Legislature, and bo bad therefore enrolled Mr.

Hereford from the third district. A quorum being present. Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, moved that tbe House now proceed to the election ot Speaker. Mr.

Cox, of New York, indicated a desire to move to enroll certain members whose names bad been omitted, but the clerk said he bad always doelined to entertain such a motion. Mr. Maynard then nominated Hon. James G. Blaine for Speaker, and Mr.

Niblack. of Indiana, nominated Hon. Fernando Wood. Mr. Uolman, of Indiana, nominated Hon.

S. S. Cox. Mr. Cox said he did not wish to be understood as being a candidate, in this contest.

He had requested that his name be withdrawn at the caucus, and be wanted to repeat now that he was not a candidate. Messrs. Wheeler. McCrary. Randal, and Robinson, of Illinois, having been appointed tellers, tbe roll was called, and members voted viva voce.

Tbe result wrs announced as follows: For Mr. Blaine M0 votes; for Sir. Wood 17 votes; for ilr. Cox 3 votes; for Mr. H.

Bland, of Missonri: and for Sir. Clymer. Mr. Creamer, of New York. The Speaker-elect was then escorted to ths chair by Messrs.

Maynard, of Tennessee, and Wood, of New York, when he addressed the House as follows: Gentlemen of the House of Representatives: The vote this moment announced by tiro clerk Is such an expression of your confidence as calls for my sincerest thanks. To be chosen Speaker of the American House of Representatives is always an honorable distinction; to be chosen a third time enhances the honor more than three-fold: to be chosen by the largest body that ever assembled in the Capitol imposes a burden of responsibility which only your indulgent kindness could embolden me to assume. The first occupant of this chair presided over a bouse of sixty-five members, representing a population far below the present aggregate of the Stale oi New York. At that time, in the whole United Status, there were not fifty thousand civilized inhabitants to be to und one hundred miles distant from the flow of the Atlantic tide. To day, gentlemen, a large majority ot you comefrom bevoud that limit, and represent "districts then peopled only by the Indian and the adventurous frontiersman.

The national government is not yet as old as many of its citi.ens: but in this brief spau of itimc, less than lengthened life, it has under God's good providence extended its power until a continent is the field of iu euipite aud attests the majesty ol its uw. With the growth of netv States and the resulting chauges in the centers of population, new interests a developed, rival tothe old, bat by no means hostile, diverse, tint not antagonistic. Kay. rather 'are all these interests harmony, and "the true s. iem-e ol just government is to give to each its full aa'i fair play, oppressing none by un exaction, favoring none by undue privilege.

Ii is this great lesson which our daily experience is teaching us. binding us together more closelv, making onr mutual dependence more manifest, and causing us to feel, whether we live in the North or in the South, in the Kast or in the West, that we bave indeed but -one country, one constitution, one dcaiiny." The oath ol office was then administered by Mr. Dawes. The members elect were then called by States, commencing th Maine, and were sworn in. When the Speaker called for gentlemen who desired to take the modified oath fifty presented Prominent among the number was Mr.

Alexander H. Stephens, who leaned for support npou tbe arm of his colleague, Mr. P. M. li.

Voting. Mr. Maynard taid it was very manifest to all that the nominees of tbe republican caucus would all be elected. There were five other officers to be elected, and it wonld take too much time to vote on each case separately. He therefore offered a resolution declaring Hon.

E. Mc-Phereon, of Pennsylvania, clerk; G. Ordway. of New Hampshire, sergeant-at-arms; Otis S. Buxton, of New York, doorkeeper; Henry Sherwood, of Michigan, postmaster; and iiev.

J. Q. Puller, of Washington, chaplain. Mr, Niblack offered as a substitute a resolution to elect the following gentlemen, who had been agreed upon in the democratic canens, viz: For clerk, George C. Wedderbnrn.

Mayntrrd's resolution was then adopted, and the organization of the House was thus completed. On motion of Sir. Dawet, tha clerk was directed to inform tbe Senate that the House had organized aud was ready to proceed to business.

Letter from Annapolis, BSd. Correspondence of tbe Baltimore Sun. Annapolis, December 1, 1873. The schooner William E. Bartlett, of Baltimore.

John Williams, master, is still lying at the wharf here, her fine of $150 being unpaid. This fipg was imposed by Justice Thompson, of this place, because she had one number of her dredging license partially covered and the other so rigged with USivaras thaj if could be changed at convenience. Vv hen captured the schooner was without bcr captain, aud this makes the vessel amenable to the Uuited States laws. A further charge is also over the schooner, that of dredging on Thomas's Point. The authorities are about to seize upon the Bartlett's sails, and thus secure tbe State so far as the expenses of the schooner's arrest are concerned.

A number of prominent republicans of the county were in this place ou Friday, aud a meeting wasneil at tbe Assembly Rooms. Their proceedings have not Transpired, as the meeting was private.

Those who did not respond were Messrs.

Uersey, or Maine Clarke, or New York; Wbiteley, or Georgia; lewis, of Tennessee, and Kendall, of Nevada.

But while Spain rtineiaima A state of Of until the Uuited States may find it necessary to recognize her as a belligerent, the United States cannot fail to look upon a decree which, if enforced against a'fiy vessel of the United States on the high seasj cannot but be regarded as a violation of their rights that may lead to serious complications." The seizure of the Virginias, with the execution as pirates of a.

number of Ameri an citizens and a number of Cubans captured with her under the protection of the American flag as rebels, is therefore not to be regarded as involving a new question sprung upon us suddenly by the excessive zeal and indiscretion of individual Spanish officers; it is the execution of a purpose formally announced nearly five years ago by tbe highest representative of the Spanish goyejurneut in Cubaa.a xeiterated by at least one of bis successors. This purposd has thus been carried out in the face of repeated protests and warnings ou tbe part of the government of this country; and by the killing of the captured men carried out iu a manner which places the act beyond all ordinary means of reparation. In view of these facts the settlement which Mr. Fish and General Grant have agreed to must be prnoT)neej unworthy and insufficient. But such as it is will it So executed by the Spaniards? It has certainly bcoa made as easy for them as possible.

It bears upon Its fjee the admission that the present government of Spam but little power in Cuba, and that for that reason the United States are willing to submit with patience to any outrago that may be committed by those who really bear sway there. It is made so easy for thera that they must be insane not to complete it. Having killed our men they can well afford to surrender the hulk from which they were dragged. It is probable, then, that the Virginius will be delivered at an early day; that tho farce of ry-iug the captain of the Tornado and Gen. Bur-riel will be euacted, and that the question of pecuniary damages will sleep through an indefinite term of negotiations.

And there will be no war. Gen. Grant and Mr. Fish have done their utmost to avoid it, and they have probably succeeded. From the New York Herald.

Admonished by a past of feebleness on the part of the State Department which we should call inanity but for the cunning and blatant pretense that conspired therein to degrade ub nationally we expressed a fear that, in the case of the Virginius, dishonor was again in store for ns by a repetition of the same begging diplomacy. We remembered the case of the unfortunate consul Fhillips, hunted through the streets of Santiago, with our flag affording its officer no shelter aud a mob of howling cut-throats at his heels, who were backed iu tuin by the "authorities" who confiscated bis estates. We recalled tbe case of the ship-wrecked American seamen, Speakman and Vvyeth, murdered like dogs at Santiago because alone they were Americans. We had in mind the case oi tho Lloyd Aspinwall seized upon the high seas by a Spanisbunan-of-war when she was carrying government dispatches addressed to our cousuls and ministers abroad. With these cases and many others before us to illustrate the want of courage, firmness aud promptitude in our State Department, was it not reasonable to fear that like wants would manifest themselves in the case of the Virginius? For all the insult, all the outrage, all the brutal bloodshed, what does the settlement repair: The return of the Virainuiua and the surviving captives.

This is all. There are other things muffled up in conditions and politely choked in diplomatic phrase. The other "concessions" depend on contingencies wbieh seem especially provided for their evasion. If, after an investigation which may extend indefinitely the Virginius proves to be an American vessel, Spain will salute our flag "on Christmas day." if not, no salute. Indeed, so far from being asked to burn gunpowder in onr honor, if the State Department declares that the Virginias had no right to carry our flag, the protocol pledges that America will fall on its knees before Spain, and then rise np to condemn the vessel aud punish tne surviving captives who have been rotting in Spanish dungeons with the fate of their murdered brethren before their eyes and the shouts of the Spanish rabble in their ears.

It is well that the full ignominy of this condition should be seen by the nation it dishonors. Then as to the murdered. Satisfaction for them, it iogic-ally follows, must wait upon the diplomatic adjustment of the points above. If tbe State Department, after its investigation, decides agaiust the nationality of the Virginius, the murders must go absolutely unatoned. At the very best American blood is promised to be paid for at so much the ounce.

Under the protocol Spain could not be forced to pay a cent, and we may here emphasize that there is not an iota of such a thing as guarantees that Spain is acting in good faith. The reclamations for damages in any case will not cover the murders of those who were not American citizens. Tho lives of these victims, snatched from under our flag, are handed over to Spaiu as legitimate prey. We are not prepared to allow this shameful fact to be glozed over. One other point and we shall leave the paltering protocol for the present.

The butchers escape all trial or punishment for the murders. Spain guarantees to "institute proceedings" against them, but not for murder it reads against any "who may have violated either law or treaty stipulations." That is to say against the law of the CaBino Es-panol and the treaty stipulations which that body of slaveholders choose to respect. From the New York Journal of Commerce. The American people, without distinction of party, will rejoice over au amicable settlement of the Cuban difficulty. It bas not been in the least a party matter, we are happy to say, It is not Mr.

Fish who has extortod from Spanish pride an act of justice. Spain bas never had reason to be afraid of Mr. Fish's policy. Tbe true negotiator in this whole business bas been the aroused aud terribly indiguaut public sentiment of America as it found expression through the press. Spanish diplomacy might hope to manage Mr.

Fish, but it cannot manage the American people. It was soon.mado apparent to the Spanish authorities that ample reparation must bo given for the Virginius infamies or there would be war. Tho tone of tbe press in all sections of the country left no donbt on this point. Having claimed for American journalism tbe first honors in this affair, we can honestly compliment Mr. Fish on the fidelity with which he seems to have represented tbe enormous aud irresistible public opinion at his- back.

If the reported agreement is, after all, a finalty and has not to be modo all over again to please the Casino Espanoi then Mr. Fish has gained the greatest diplomatic victory of his official life. From the Richmond (Va.) Whig. This result we have auticipated.and hoped for from the first. When others were complaining of the tardiness of the State- Department and clamoring for instant war we felt convinced that Mr.

Fish was doing all that lay in his power to bring about by a vigorous diplomacy a satisfactory adjustment of the matters- in controversy, and that the President was doing all he lawfully could in the premises. He no doubt desired to settle the affair, if possible, without war, aud also without the intervention, of Congress. In so doiug he has saved that body a vast amount of trouble, and tho country tbe expense and loss that war would bave entailed. If there is anything remaining for future settlement we should rest satisfied in the belief that the United States government will see that it is property adjusted, and in-due time, and that naval preparations will be continued so that any contingencies will be provided for.

Tbe Red Wing, it will be rernembared, was built fri Baltimore, belonged tThos. Pierceand left here for Rio Sepiemuef a4.f:tu cargo of otlf and lard.

When in midocean, latitude 31.40 north, and longitude 45 west, on the night of the 17th of October, siens of a syclone near at hand became visible. All articles on deck were.strap-ped down, and the helmsman lashed himselt to tbe bulwarks. Soon the hurricane struck the vessel, and tbe storm becoming violent each man at his post trembled for her safety. With sails furled close and every man clinging tightly to the vessel, a heavy blast struck her side, and in an instant she lay on her beam ends. Struggling from the water the seamen clung to the bowsprit, shrouds and boom, and creeping along the upper waist, axes were secured and tha work of cutting away the masts commenced.

The shrieking and roaring of the wind drowned the voice of the captain, but the men worked with a will, and soofi botuunasts were cut away, and the vessel righted. At daybreak the storm subsided, aud the crew' after being six days adrift, floating in a southerly 'direction, when a'i hope was given over, yiir signal of distress was discovered on the morning of the 23d of October, bv the English bark Idolique, from Sew Y'ork. and the crew was taken ou board. The bark Henry Cook being met with going the other way. the crew were transferred to her and landed at Pensocola, Florida, on the 2Sth of November, one month and eleven days after tho disaster.

The names of the crew are Captain Charles K. Myrick, Ihos. Maicom, Chas. Lewis. Joseph W.
