Another Baby Deserted. Early yesterday
morning a negro baby, supposed to be about two
months old, was fonnd in the yard of R. A. Risley,
hear the crossing of the railroad. It was cared
for by the family unlil it could be delivered into
proper hands, which seemed to be as hard to
find as a rich man is said to be in paradise.
Every one that was visited and spoken to about
the child disclaimed any charge over it, and it
was thought, at one time quite probable that the
little negro would be without pale of humanized
society Lieutenat Drinker, of the freedmen's
bureau finally consented to have it taken care
of, but even then he did not recognize it as com
ing under his duties, but merely as an act of
Charity, to keep the child alive. There should
be some place about a city of this size for such
little unfortunates, be they white or black. They
are not responsible for ' their being here and as
they are human, and we professing christians,
we should certainly take care that they do not
die right under our noses for want of care and
attention. True, in this case it is a little negro,
but" in the next it may be a white child.
This is not the only case we are likely to have
this winter of this character, unless there is some
movement made to take charge of the poor, both
white and black. There is already great destitu
tion 'reported among the poorer classes. Was
there not snfficient money made during the late
war by some one or more' persons to endow an
orphans home in the city ? It was a mans' chari
table act, so related, that enabled him to get an
unlooked for seat in heaven.
The Wreck of the Twilight. Parties from
below report a heavy sea off the bar yesterday.
Up to that time it was hoped that very near all
of the goods from the Twilight, in a damaged
state, would be taken from the wreck. A large
number of small boats, belonging mostly to in
viduals, were swarming about her previous to
the gale of yesterday, and with a favorable op
portunity of enhancing themselves for the trouble.
A steam tug with a load of the valuables, some
badly damaged, came up to the city and dis
charged yesterday. From the appearance of
her assortment it was not likely to be claimed by
any one particularly, comprising, as it did, every
thing from a common shovel to as sublime an ar
ticle as a hoop-skirt, and it is not so manifest that
there was not things even neater than this to the
eye supreme.
.
- Another Vessel Beaehed.
By private advices from below we learn that
the schooner W. L. Springs. Captain Steelman,
from Philadelphia, bound for this port, with a
general cargo, was beached inside the bar on
Saturday morning last. It is supposed she will
be gotten off to-day.
On the passage the Springs experienced very
heavy weather, during which she lost a small
"boat and large anchor. We will perhaps hear
rnbre of her to-day.
BAd Weather. Yesterday was a very bad
day, the rain came down in torrents and the sud
den change from, extreme warm to cold weather,
was well calculated to aevelope old conscript
rheumatism, if it is anywhere concealed about the
system. It poured down last night, and outside
was so very dark as te preclude the impossibility
of imagining anything darker not even a stack
of black cats. Think of love in a cottage with
the roof off on such a night. .Ugh!
Mayor's Court. Three cases were before the
mayor yesterday. Two for being drunk in the
streets and one for stealing. The two first paid
for the privilege of fondly imbibing old nectar,
and the thief was of so little interest as to make
no difference what became of his case.
It is a settled point that men will drink liquor
and a negro will steal, whatever the consequen
ces may be.
Theatre To-night. The inclemency of the
weather last evening caused a postponement of
the -play of Romeo and Juhet until to-night,
. when Mr. Davis wiU appear as Romeo, Mr JRog-
ers not arriving as was announced m the morning
papers of yesterday. We(wish them a clear
evening and a good full house, for Miss Vernon
wll certainly be all that can be looked for in the
character which she assumes.
Uncalled for Telegrams. Telegrams for
followi persons remain uncalled for at the
. . . .
office in this city : Mrs. E. J. Roberts, Geo. G.
Lewis, Col. R. H. Cowan, M. Bowes, J. M. James,

Military Court. A general court martial,
convened by order of the department comman
der, assembled in this city yesterday. Major J.
C. Mann is the president.
THE THEATRE.
To the Editor of The Wilmington Herald :
That Laura Keen plays "East Lynne" well,
none who have seen her can deny, but that she
plays it better than Miss Ida Vernon no unpreju
diced person will assert. We like Miss Vernon
ever so much. The death scene of little WiUie
she executes splendidly. The child, however, de
serves much credit for this, as well as her teach-
ers--she is remarkably well trained. The death of
" Mad i me Vine 'I was fine, though we should have
liked it much better had her support not acted
with quite so much spirit.
That the respectability of the theatre might be
greatly increased, as well as interesr and Audience,
if the confusion, &c, attendance of the npper gal
lery; could be diminished, we can but think.
It seems to :us, if we are ail freey to shout in a
most inbilant fashion at the well rendered death
bed scene of the heroine of lafi flBscting p!ay, it is
a pity we are hot all slaves. Why dont some one
attend to this thing, and make it a place of enjoy.
ment rather than annoyance t If we vere in the
habit of , dying of broken hearts,' and doing the
heavy tragedy generally we cQurageonaly assert
that the Wilmington tneatre, unaer present aus
pices, wonld be the very last place we., should se
lect for 5uf last moments. ! '

London Correspondence of Manchester Guar-
aian.j
Notwithstanding the tone of Mr. Seward's
speech at Auburn, it is understood here that
President Johnson's cabinet has no intention of
pressing to a quarrel the controversy regarding
the nnzes taken bv the Alabama. Ine tone oi
tf
wrell informed Americans in " society " here fully
confirms this jiew. There will, of course, be a
row when congress meets, and violent speeches
from the members of the opposition, but the gov
ernment considers itself strong enough to with
stand any emergency of the kind, and nothing dis
agreeable will come of it.
Mr. Adams has finally resolved on rennquisn
ing his post here, and returning home early in
tb snrincr. It will be ditfacult to hnd a man to
-1 n-
succeed him. -From
the London Post, Nov. 1.
It is now placed beyond a doubt that it was
the Americen government which first created
their opponents belligerents, not only by pi o-
r.laiminor a blockade of the southern ports, bnt
c
by proceeding to enforce such blockade before
the English government had accorded to the con
federates a belligerent status. It also appears
that Mr. Seward himself was the first minister
who, in an official dispatch, made use of the word
" neutrals a term which can have no apphca
tion except during the existence of a war. The
demand for compensation rests on grounds by no
means so substantial as those on which the Span
ish and Portuguese governments based the claims
which, UV1818, they submitted to the govern
ment of the United States, and, which, that gov
eminent declined to satisfy. Mr. Johnson can
scarcely deny , the appositeness of a precedent
createa by one of bis own' predecessors, and we
niay thtfcefcre reasonably expect that the course
resolved npon by the government at asmngton
will be one which. " without compromising the
national dignity and honor' will amount to a
frank withdrawal of demands which could not I
equitably be sustained.
Suppression mt the Spanish Stare Trade
The following decree of her majesty the queen,
made in conformity to the report of the Spanish
ministry, upon the advisability of suppressing the
slave trade, has just been issued;
ROTAL DECREE.
In conformity with the reason! laid before me
by the minister of the colonies, and in accord
with the council of ministers, I decree as fol
lows: Article 1. The one hundred and three negros
taken rom a Portuguese Tessel which the agents
of the Spanish authorities captured in Septem
ber last at El Gato, within the limit of the ju
ristictiou of San Christobal and Pinar del Rio,
shall be conveyed at the exnense of the rovertJ
ment to the isiand of Fernando Po or t mr i
"rJther of the Spanish issessions of the Gulf of
uumea. Art. '1. furthermore, dating from the
publication of the present decree, ail negros of
every class whom the Spanish authorities or
forces may apprehend in conformity with the
treaties with foreign nations and the laws and
regulations of the kingdom prohibiting the slave
trade, shall also be conveyed to the same pos
sessions. Art. 3. A special regulation shall
determe the condition under which slaves
resident in the islands of Cuba or Por
to Rico may pass from one island to the other
and shift , their ground. Negros apprehended
under different circumstances, not coming within
the category of fugitives, shall be dealt with ac
cording to article 2 of this decree. Article 4.
The removal of negros referred to in the three
foregoing articles shall be effected immediately
the tribunals or competent authorities have de
clared them to be emancipated, leaving them at
the disposition of the superior civil governors.
Her majesty's government will adopt fitting steps
to have this declaration made out with the least
possible delay, whatever may be the nature or
character of the proceedings instituted by virtue
of the capture. Article o. Negros conveyed to
the Spanishfpossessions in the Gulf of Guinea shall
be completely free on their arrival therein, and
shall be taken to any port they may designate on
the coast of the continent of Africa, unless they
prefer remaining in the Spanish possessions un
der the protection of the government, or engag
ing themselves as free laborers in the way adopt
ed by the Kroomen, and for the term settled by
the regulations. Article 6. When negros who
have been removed prefer, in the exercise of their
liberty, to remain in Fernando Po, or in any
other of tho possessions, expressed injthe forego
ing article, the Spanish authorities shall, in order
to realize the admirable purposes of suppliment C
oi tlie treaty of zbth June, enforce the due fulfil-
ment of articles 1 and 4 of the above suppliment,
and of the regulations of the government with
regard to slaves who have obtained their free pa
pers in the Island of Cuba and Porto Rico, equally
with respect to slaves emancipated by decisions
of the tribunals of justice, as in the case of those
declared free by the Spanish tribunals. Article 7.
The authority formerly conceded to the suierior
civil governors of colonial provinces where sla
very existed of compelling the labor of the ne
gross (consignor) is henceforth revoked. Arti
cle 8, In proportion as the freedmen fulfill the
tei-m of their existing engagement, they will
enter the depot, where the government will pro
vide everything necessary lor their subsistence
and remuneration, occupying them in the public
works as an obligatory task so long as they re
main in this state. Art. 9. The government may
declare free all emancipated slaves who have en
tered the depot and count more than fiVe years
of residence m the islands of Cuba and Porto
Rico, authorizing them to remain thereiu under
tne conditions aeiermmea dv ine regulations or
conveying them to one of the Spanish posses
sions of the Gulf Guinea, or to any other place
which they may designate. Art. 10. The faculty
oi extending the existing engagements of eman
ci.mted negroes is hereby prohibited. Hence
forth the actual legitimate owners of emancipa
ted slaves alone shall answer to the government
for the fulfilment of all the obligations arising
from the engagement. Art. 11. The Minister of
the Colonies shall dictate fitting instructions for
the speedy and most exact execution of the pres
ent royal degree.

of the Colonies.
France.
A letter of the Emperor Napoleon to Marshal
McMahon on the Algerian question had been
published. It concludes as follows :
I would turn to account the valor of the
Arabs rather than bear hardly upon their poverty
render the colonists rich and prosperous rather
than establish settlements of emigrants, and main
tain our soldiers in healthy situations rather than
expose them to the wasting climate of the desert.
By the realization of this programme we shall
appease passions and satisfy interests ; v then Al
geria will be to us no longer a burden, but a new
element of strength. The Arabs, restrained and
conciliated, will give us what they can best give
namely, soldiers ; and the colony, become flour
ishing by the development of its territorial ricnes,
will create a commercial movement eminently fa
vorable to the mother country.
The 3fortiteur says rumors, evidently exagger
ated, have been circulated relative to the state of
affairs in Algeria. Ihe only tacts certain are that
ou the 19th of October St. Lala made his ap
pearance in the southern districts of Algeria with
two thousand horsemen and one thousand four
hundred soldiers on foot. Eunez has been bea
ten, and is in full retreat, and will be pursued as
far as the season of the year will allow.
Prussia.
The Prussian government having resolved to
construct an iron-clad fleet, negotiations have
been opened with the leading French and English
shipbuilders to that end. The firms of Arman &
Co., Bordeaux, and Sasuma & Co., of London,
will it is said, be intrusted with the execution of
the first orders.
Switzerland,
A printer, named Rynicker, residing in the can
ton of Uri was recently sentenced by a criminal
court to receive twenty blows with a rod for hav
ing written and published a pamphlet containing
an attack upon the Roman Catholic religion and
clergy and the holy scripture. All Switzerland
became indignant at this interference with liberty
of conscieuce, and on the 28th of October a mass
meeting was held at Berne to protest against the
sentence of the court of Uri, which the meeting
declared a disgrace to Switzerland. A second
monster meeting- was. announced at which dele
gates from every canton would be present.

Operations had been commenced in the prov
ince of Corrientes, which, according to the state
ments of General Estigarnbia, the defender of
Uruguayana, under Robles. General Flores had
recrossed the Uruguay with the advance of his
army, reinforced by six thousand infantry from
Rio Grande, and was marching northward in or
der to cut off the retreat of the Paraguayan col
umn. This movement was supported by the Bra
zilian, and Argentine forces, under Mitre, who
had resumed the chief command of the allied ar
my. The National bfontevidiojstates that the
Count d'Eu and thci Duke dVSaze1 continued in
the field under Marshal Osario and Adiniral Ta-
mandare.. " f ' t
The emperor was to leave for San Bona on the
kTJruguay river on the 25th September, , accjom-
panied by Admiral Tamandire, but was expected
to return to Uruguayan in time to supervise the
organization of the main body of the - Brazilian
troops under Flores. Generals Mitre and Flores
had received the grand cross of the "Cruzeiro"
order from Don Pedro In person. It was repor
ted that the invaders were removing all the guns
from their batteries at Cuevas, Mercedes and
Riachuelo to the city of Corrientes, where the
Paraguayan General Robles intended to concen
trate bis forces, including the fleet which bad
been ordered up the river to his support.
The surrender of Cruguayana caused great re
joicing at Rio Janeiro. The Brazilian fleet re
mained at Rincon de Soto. '
New Zealand.
Advices from Melbourne, dated 25th of Sept.,
state that disturbances continued ou the east

The colonial forces and friendly natives had

dition captured the natives who murdered Volk
ner and Captain Close. The governor had con
fiscated land in Taranaki, and had issued a pro
clamation of peace and amnesty. The east coast

New Zealand into two colonies had been nega
tived in the house of representatively a major
ity of fourteen. It was carried in the legislative
council without a division. Ministers propose

Correspondence of New York Daily News.J
The " Protestant Episcopal " Church of the
late " Confederate States " assembled in Augusta,
GeoTPia, on the 8th inst. Yiminia, South Caro
lina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, were
represented by clerical and lav delegates. The
bishops were all present, except Bishop Davis of
South Carolina;whose absence was particularly re
gretted, especially as it was caused by sickness
Upon the organization being completed, the
house of bishops asked for a conference commit
tee and appointed, Bishop Elliott, on the part of
the house of bishops. The request was acceded
to, and Dr. Andrews of Virginia was appointed
Chairman of the Committee on the part of the
house of deputies.
The following is the report of the Select Com
mittee :
Whereas, The several dioceses, which we as bish
ops and deputies' represent at this cotmcil, were
impelled by political events to seperate from, in
a legislative capacity, the Protestant Episcocal
Church in the United States, and did decide,
u-jon grounds sanctioned by Holy Scripture and
primitive antiquity, to unite togetlier and adopt
lor their better government and more convenient
action a Constitution and CoDEOPCASossindldid
meet in performance of that constitution, in gen
eral council m November, 1862.
And whereas j the church so organized, although
arising out oi toiiucai events, was rronmnai,
time a duly organized branch of the one Catholic
and Apostolic church, and may of right so con
tinue to be; or may, through the action of its
several diocesan councils, form any other synodi
cal association.
And whereas, in the opinion of several of the
dioceses which co-operated in the -formation of
this independent branch of the Chnrch Catholic,
the political exigencies which caused its arrange
ment no longer exist.
Whereat, the spirit of charitv which prevailed
in the proceedings of the General Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States at ts late session in Philadelphia, has
wa.mly recommended itself to the hearts of this
Council, therefore resolved,
1. That m the judgment of this coucil it is
perfectly consistent with the good faith which she
owes to the bishop and dioceses with which she
has been in union since 1862, for any diocese to
decide for itself whether she shall any longer
continue in union with this council.
2. That it be recommended that wherever the
word Confederate occurs in the standards of this
church the word United be "substituted there
for.
3. That inasmncbas the change recommended
in the precedingjresolution (being a change in
the Prayer Book) cannot legally be completed
until the next meeting of this council, that under
the circumstance it should in the mean
time have the force of law in a diocese, with the
approbation of its bishop and council.
4. That each diocese now in connection with
this council shall be governed by the constitution
and canons thereof, until such time as it shall
have declared its withdrawaljtherefrom as herein
after provided for. -
5. That whenever any diocese shall determine
to withdraw from this ecclesiastical confedera-
tion, such withdrawal shall be duly accomplished
wueu a.u vuicuH uuuw, sjgucu uj iuc uiau.,p aim
secretary of such diocese, shall have been given
to the bishops of the diocese remaining in con
nection with this council.
These resolutions have all been adopted, with
one changing the name of the church to the
" Protestant Episcopal Church of the Associated
Dioceses of the United States." Also one ap
