The wealthiest estate in Cincinnati ia that of tho late NICHOLAS LONGWORTH, which is valued for taxation purposes at S12.OOO.O0O. . During bight months of last year steam engines .to tao value of $5,032,925 in gold were oxportod from Great Britain to foreign countries. - According to tho annual report of tbs Board of ;Trado for 18^/England baa 22.201,833 aerosol' farm laud under cultivation-or sixty-eight per cent, of her entire territory. It is said that Mr. NEAL BRTAXT, proprietor of a Nsw York hotel, is tho lucky man who drew Ibo . Crosby Opera House He is brother to DAK BUT J ANT, the Irish comedian. On tho 31st of Decombor there were 105 schools for freedmen in Tonnesseo, having 122 ten chers and?SIO pupils. The number of school houses owned by freedmen was 28. The king of Prussia has docided to sond Princo j: ADELBERT, lately created an Admiral, to the United - States to study the modern improvements in naval I construction. The Lebanon (Tenn.) Herald states that farm? ers in that vicinity find little difficulty in hiring negro laborat $125 and $150 for the current year. _ Tho supply is fully equal to tho demand. The Democratic Resident Committee at Wash? ington w?l hold a meeting noxt Wednesday to con? sider the expediency of holding a National Conven? tion. The United States Marshal seized all steamers at the Mobile wharf on Saturday for alleged viola? tion of the law prohibiting vessels from carrying cotton without tarpaulins. Subsequently they .were released under heavy bonds on payment of fines. The I ? icky House of Representatives has in? structed its Committee on the Sinking Fund to inquire into the expediency of selling the stocks . owned by the State in internal improvements, I amounting to $4,846,475, and applying tho proceeds . to the"payment of the State debt. The report of J. Ross BBOWNE, special eommis ; sioner, on the financial resources of tho States ' and Territories west of the Rocky Mountains, ' gives an estimate of the product for 1866, of gold and silver, at $106,000,000 from California^ Monta? na, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and other . . sections. The Ohio penitentiary has now nine hundred and twenty-five convicts, being but seventy-five less th*T the whole number of the cells in the prison. During the war the number diminishod to five hundred and ninety-seven. At tho present rate of increase that institution will bo full by mid? summer. Tho Pennsylvania Legislature voted last week to . have the tibie on which the Declaration of Inde? pendence was signed, and which has been for ycarB . in the State Library at tho capital, and the HAN? COCK chair, removoJ to Independence Hall. The table's an ordinaryold-fashionod looking affair, with some half a dozen small drawers. Mrs. ELIZABETH CADY. STANTON and SUSAN B. ANTHONY appeared before the Judiciary Commit? tee at Albany, to advocate women's rights and uni? versal suffrage. Mrs STANTON made a lengthy and forcible speech on the occasion. She claimed tho right of women and negroes, under existing laws, to voto for delegates to the Constitutional Conven? tion. The Emigration Commissioners met in New York on Wednesday, but nothing of unusual inter? est came np. The weekly return of statistics show? ed the number of emigrants landed last week in New York to be 1452, making tho total since Janu? ary 1, 4906. The balance of the commutation fund is now $32,857 LL - A train of cars, says ;he Petersburg, Va., Index. came through on the Virginia and Tennessee air? line on Saturday, carrying six hundred and fifty bales of cotton. It went through to Norfolk. We learn that there are sixteen thousand bales at Knoxville, which have been receipted for, and arc now waiting transportation over this line. Two Scientific American has made a calculation that twenty tons, or, by superficial measurement forty-eight and a helf square milos, of postage stamps have been used during tho year, enough to. Toof a large township, with all the houses, church? es, gardens, barns, forests and firms, or, if you choose to make a ribbon of them, enough to reach nearly from the equator to either polo, or twice the l?ngth-of tho Mississippi River. v There are in tho United States 11,220 Baptist churches, valued at 18,977,000; 19,333 Mcthcdiht churches, worth $SC,666,00o; 50G1 Presbyterian churches, at $23,305.001 ; 3331 Congregational churches, at $li?004.000; 2250 Catholic churches, at $22,500,000; 2145 Episcopal churches, at $21,450. 000; 440 Germau Reformed churches, at $4,400,000; and 264 Unitarian churches, at 54,583,0C0. The quantity of lumber of various kinds shipped from St. John, N.B., last year, was 260,000,000 . feet, against 250,000,000 in 18G5. Notwithstanding the abrogation of tho reciprocity treaty, there was a large increase in the shipments to the United States, also to the West Indies. There were built . during the year 27 ships and barks, and 18 brigs, cf 28,255 tons, In 1865 the now tonnage amounted to 84,318 tons. Commissioner WnsoN has just received returns showing that 14,850 acres of public lands were dis? posed of during the month of December last at the Bonneville, Missouri, local office. The Com? missioner has sent to the register of the land of? fice at Oregon city, Oregon, to bo delivered to the parties entitled thereto, ninety-seven patents for old settlement claims in that region, covering 36, 067 acres. A work has recently been pubb'shed in Paris, by M. TETOT, of the Ministry of Foreign Affaira, giving an account of all thc treaties of peace and commerce, the conventions and other alliances concluded between all the powers of thc globe, principally from tho peace of Westphalia to tho year 1866. lb appears from this laborious work, that in the space of two hundred years no loss than 7205 treaties of peace have been signed. There seems reason to suppose that incomes be? low one thousand dollars (instead of six hundred dollars, SB at present) will be exempted from taxa? tion in the new bill. This is the only piece of legis? lation yet proposed in Congress of any advantage to our readers, and we make our acknowledgments accordingly, without inquiring into thc amount of credit due that honorable body for the relaxation. A few days, since Mr. JOSEPH HUGHES, Jr., an employee at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad De? pot, found in a pile of lumber in the yard what he at first supposed to be a little fortune in these days-$1808. A oloser examination proved, how? ever, that the entire amount was made up of coun? terfeit notes. There were eighteen one hundred dollar notos of National Currency, on banks of the cities of Boston, New York and Cincinnati, and sixteen fractional currency fifty cent notes. The Richmond Whig says : "Cctton ia begin? ning to bo cultivated almost up to our very doors. We Baw, yesterday, a wagon load of bales, raised on the farm of Judge MEREDITH, near Old Church, Hanover. Many planters not far from Richmond have raised cotton during the past season, and, with increasing experience, there is no doubt that they will be satisfactoiily successful in tho future in producing an article which was once called King, and which, though it is said to be uncrown- ? ed, is still influential in the commercial world."' When Governor ANDREW eent tho Massachusetts girls -to tho Pacific coast to supply the want of \ feminity in that region, ho said that they need not marry immediately, but could findplentvto ] do in teaching the little children. ANNA DICKIN- . sos "can't see it." She says : "Where thc little ] children were to come from ont of a population of i tan thousand mon was moro than sho could ima"- j ine; but she thought that probably Governor ] ANDREW, being a man, might be ablo to do so." \ The East River was completely bridged over by ? the ice gorges on Wednesday, says a Now York paper.-aud many hardy adventurers crossed over it on foot. The natural bridgo tims formet! was by no means permanent, however. Witu the ebb tide, the mass commenced moving, and fae per- . eons in transita fjond themselves auoat. TLcv , woro nesriy all resented by ^ssing ?loamers, cae : man only being ccrta?ily lost, rithou?'h there were , rumors of numerous others being musing. Im- i manse crowds ranged alcn? ibe piers and bulk? heads on both aides of thc river to eec tho hovel spectacle.

Wo would bo glad to seo more money hero, and therefore call attention to tho first-rate investment we have men? tioned._ .Mill ?J_| J]ja)OM-I THE SESSIONS COURT AND THU FREEDMEN. From proceedings publishod in another column, it will be seon that on Saturday last senloncos wero pronounced, in the Court of Sessions for this District, in causes that have been tried during tl io present tomi of that Court. Those of oui- readers who havo had an opportunity of witnessing the proceedings of the Court, and thoso who had thc opportunity of hearing the very admirable charges of his Honor Judge DAWKINS, in pronouncing sentence in the causes to which we have referred, will confess, wc presume, that tho new order es? tablished with respect to our colored population, bas boon inaugurated under many assurances of favorable results. Our colored population have never before been in our higher criminal courts, cither as parties or as witnesses. Under the old system it was con? sidered consistent and best that they Bhould have a fonn of court more especially adapted to their intelligence and thoir social and civil position. It was thought unwiso and unfair that they should be tried upon laws, rules of proceedings, and prin? ciples of conduct, applicable only and intended for a race of moro cultivated intolligonco, and it was thought that in local tribunals, under local influ? ences, and protected by proprietary interests, they were, safor and moro sure of exemption from un? necessary punishment than under other circum? stances would be possible. But still many doubted if the negro could bo roliod on for testimony proper for tba highor courts. Rome doubted also, perhaps, whether the negro, forcibly emancipated among those who had hold him as property, and who still held the oflico ol administering tho law, could have justice Upon both these points, the citizens of this community, at least,. aro perfectly assured. The testimony given by tho negroos, which, in every case, wo bo 1 eve, has been tributary to tho conviction, if it has not proven conclusive guilt, by all the nogrocs who havo boen triod, haB boon singnlarly clear and direct; and with tho court and bar tho impres? sion, wo behove, is general, that, as a "class, the evidenco they furnish is particularly reliable. Not but that they may depart from tho truth, and not that their sense of fidelity to truth is as strong as is that of white men; but they aro siugidarly without the ingenuity to modify thc truth. There is no difSctdty in detecting tho interpolation of falsehood. No one is for an instant at a loss to distinguish tho true from tho counterfeit present? ment; and tho conviction wo bobevo is general, therefore, that justico will bo advanced, by tho fuller light upon all transactions in ibo State, from withdrawing all objections to tho competency of the testimony of negroes in a court of justico. Upon the other points, also-of tho security of tho negro, in a lair and impartial trial-there can bo equally as little question. Their causes have been zealously and ably defended; the oldest lawyers have not hesitated to act under tho appointment of tho Court, nor, acting, have oxhibitod less zeal than if they bad been employed by tho prisoners. Thoir causes have been beard with great pa tiwi co by tho jury, and there bas heon no caso in which their verdict has been bable to the slightest quos tion. The charges of his Honor, Judge DAWKINS, in passing sentence were, as we havo said, eminently proper, aud it of no influence upon those to whom they were addressed, as such charges aro apt to be, Ihoy will bo at least likely to oxorcise a favor? able influence upon that claes of om* colored popu? lation who oro desirous to discharge faithfully their civil and social duties, and who look, there? fore, to thc proceedings of authority for indica? tions of tho spirit in which thoir efforts will be met. .rc.^_^ THE NEW FRENCH REFORM. On Sunday laafc NAPOLEON made bis last coup d'etat,-this timo a coup de grace, in the good, primary meaning of that term. Thc long debates just began in tho Address in tho Corps L?gislatif ap. pear to have proven to tho Emperor that it would not bo safe for Liai to continuo long in thc lino of policy (quasi constitutional but nearly absdute), which had marked bis rule during tho past fifteen years. Tho failure of tho Mexican scheme, and "Hie diplomatic checkmating by BISMABCK, were two eovere blows to his Majesty's mf?l i bili ty or in? vincibility. Something must bo dono to recover the lost ground. And nothing, he felt, can com? pensai-for theso defeats except a glorious cam? paign in tho liold that shall result in thc territorial aggrandizement of Franco. Accordingly thc army is nohiR "reorganized," i. c., there is to bo a levy en masse-1.200,000 men aro aakod for. The proBS is almost unanimous in its opposition to this colossal armament; urges evory possible rea? son to show that such a draft on tho labor of the country must prove disastrous. Tho plan has been laid beforo tho Counsel of State, a majority of which, it is said, have made no secret of their opposition to it; but the Empe? ror, it is forth? reported, thereupon addressed them, calling upon their patriotism, and said that he had "well considered what an enormous sacri? fice this reorganization of tho anny would demand from tho State, but that circumstances required this sacrifice, and thc project must be carried out." Thorc may bo sonic minor changes in the bill bo fore it shall be submitted to tho Corps L?gislatif, but in its essential points, tho Emperor will not yield an iota, although a number of tho deputies have already declared to tho Ministor of State that they could not vote for a measure, by tho ac? ceptance of winch the legislativo body would at once surrender tho right of determining the annu? al budget and necessary appropriations. This nulled public temper tho Emperor, by his coup d'etat, has most skilfully and magnanimously appeased. He has introduced, to uso an English phrase, a reform bill,-before the same had been specially demanded. This, lie says, "will crown tho edifice of a State founded upon tho national will." By virtue of this decrco tho debato on tho address from tho Throne, heretofore customary, is discontinued. Tko legislative body, however, is to havo tho right of questioning thc government on mattera of Stato policy. The right of tho people to meet in public is to bc limited only by considerations for thc public safety. "Whether this concession shall amount to urything. depends entirely upon tho administra? tion. The .stamp dillies aro reduced: the censor? ship abolished; at least we so understand the dictum : !'Offences of the press arc to be tried in tho correctional courts of tho empire," instead of being punished by ewnmary sentence. Tuero is boro then n.n extension of civil liberty; freedom lo meet in public, a free press, and a re? duction of stamp unties. . But thc Emperor has no tlcs-re of hearing Iiis favorito army bill discussed by JULES FAVRE, an?l other eloquent gentlemen of Ibo 'loft," like thc Mexican expedition was a year ?tg*. The "debate on tho address" is, therefore, discontinued. M. Tarni* strange to Say, favors thc;L200,000 schomc. The concession is certainly well-timcd.-whcther we consider its probable iufluoncoon tho French people and lucir a?fcction for Ibo Empcror,-or ita ?ontrasting effect with tho great straggle in Eng land,-tho enfant terrible, which was too much for Earl BUSSELL, and bids fair not to yiold peaceably to tho management of his noblo successor. NA? POLEON delights in exhibiting such contrasts, as though ho wcro to say: "Here is your much vaunted England, always bold up as a model of freedom by tho French agitators. See how the people there have been vainly striving for years for a recognition of their rights. What neither Whigs and Tories havo felt able to concede them, I U,XVQ you unasked by a stroke of my pen." Tho motivos for this coup (Feint.of NAPOLEON, aro looked for in various directions. All parties nppoar to bc satisfied that there was some special reason that prompted the step at this particular juncture. Somo of tboso conjectured motives we liavo already Btated above. Every writor, almost, talcos a different view, according to the medium through which he makes his observations. Thus, for instance, wo soo it stated that tho Pope comos in for a share of thc credit of this reform. -The situation of thc Pope, it is said, cons?quent upon tho French withdtawal from Eomo, takon in con? nection with the Emperor's solemn promise to seo that tho Pope is made secure in Rome, puts into the hands of tho ultramontanes a pretext for in? sisting upon some interference by tho Emperor, which might bo very unacceptable to tho French people, who are only too glad to bo out of the scrapo of maintaining a forco in Romo to repress, popular liberty. It is, thereforo, necessary that ho should first niako friends of the Liberal party, so that bo may not be placed between two fires at the same time. In this way he doubtless hopes to strengthen himself, so that he may safely inter? ioro for tho rescue of the Pope from his dilemma, by compelling thc King of Italy to do violcnco to tho wishes of Ids people in regard to the posses? sion of Romo for their capital. We givo this conjecture for what it may be worth, not asking our readers to bcliovo or dis? believe it. The Emperor is wont to keep his own counsel, not generally calling iu consultation either editors or foreign correspondents. So much, however, is certain, that a serious contest between tho Emperor and his Cabinet must have preceded tho promulgation of the decree, for simultaneous? ly with its publication was also announced tho resignation of tho entire cabinet. This latter fact in some circles has given no lit? tle uneasiness, being intori roted as tho indication of tho adoption of a moro warlike policy,-and this serious portont. ovon with many persons in Franco, will be doomed as fully counter-balancing the somewhat doubtful concessions of the "de? cree." Mais nous verrons. Tho leaders of the opposition, it is not too much to venture to predict, will not bo conciliate 1 by this sop to Cerberus. They will say : Timco Ba n aos el (tona f?renles. They will now look with greater suspicion than ever upon tho Emperor's scheino for tho enlargement of tho army. Thc neighboring States and governments sharo in this uneasiness. Such a gigantic army, organized ai an enormous sacrifico to the country, and amid universal opposition, which tho Emperor would not be willing to encounter except upon an issue he deems vital to tho existence of his empire,-al foel that auch an army means war, before long, and upon a scale of itnparallelled magnitude Tho other StaLcs of Europo aro arming also,-al enlarging and strengthening their "poaco" CBtab hshmcnts. It is computed that 5,000,000 mon wil be under anns this year. How long tho peac< could bo kept with such a peace establishment ii would not bc easy to say. Tho French Exposition it is true, in a certain measure, is a guarantee o poaco, but'tho" complications that may ariso out o. the Cretan revolution aro beyond the power o NAPOLEON to control. Russia has not given bondi to keep tho peaco in 1867; noither hns Austria and whensoever it may suit any of the Groat Pow ors to mako a diversion on Turkey, in favor of th< struggling Greeks, every othor power of Europ< will be dragged into tho war, whether thoy will o: not.
