Ice United Stales consul-general at Con- Mtiu. ple, nuder dale of August 23, reports . tlie g la te Department, a sensible abate ment in tbe cbolera since his last dispatch, fbe number of deaths on the 21st was one u ,,dred and forty-three, while heretofore it seceded two thousand in a single day. The great fire which followed close upon the msis of the epidemic, as the great fire in .oodon did upon the plague, in thus described n an English paper: This terrible fire, we Regret to state, has )e eu attended with far more serious loss of ,r<iijerty than was expected when tbe first ciremm was sent to London ; and it now tunw out that no fewer than two thousand E j ?b t hundred houses, public buildings, and jEcts dedicated for divine service, have jeeu, for the most part, leveled with the jrnuud. There are certainly few exceptions, where the walls are standing, but the prin cipal mosques are now uowhere to be seen. accounts forwarded this (Friday) morn ing to the different insurance companies in tin; city are of a harrowing nature. Some idea of the extent of the sufferings of over 22,500 persons who had to i'ush out of their habiUti'ius almost uaktcl to-escape from the ravages of the flames. It Wi uld appear that the conflagration commenced in a building two stories high. From that part (tie flames spread with rapidity, igniting in succession whole rows of houses and stores on the northwest side. The scene amongst the [poor people was pitiable in tbe extreme. I The meager means of contending with such a fire were found perfectly’ inadequate, and added to that the water supply was equally insufficient. Explosions ot a tearful charac ter followed in rapid succession, nud it was leared that, as the buildings came toppling down, several men Wuo were assisting bad been crushed to death. It was not, however, clearly 1 stated whether any’ lives had been sacrificed, the excitement and confusion ■ being so great that' the agents of the different insurance offices were unable to ascertain; 1 but there was strong ground for supposing ' that a great loss of life hud taken place. 1 (i it was found perfectly impracticable To find shelter for the whole of the burnt-out p-nple and their children, aud they had to ■ ■ utem themselves by sleeping in fields and g rdeus mar. When the last telegram was received prayers were being Offered up to the Almighty to stop the ravages of the fire.— The principal portions of the houses were e imposed, in a great measure, of timber, which, of course, will account for the extra ordinary spread of the flames. No confla gration of such magnitude has taken place ince the burning of the city of Hamburg; nnd it is stated that more persons b.tve lost their homes, and all they possess, than then was even at that conflagration. Mr. Hodsall, assessor, of losses, aud several other geutle men belonging to the different fire Offices, have sent specially down to ascertain h"W the insurance companies of tbe city and pro vincial towns are interested; and also to in quire into the cause of the terrible calamity, and how many persons are left unprovided lot. The fire is now considered to have been fairly stopped at each point, and unless the wiud should spring up, thtre was no danger of any iuritier extension ot mischief. Whole streets, squares, mosques, and government buildings, were blazing away at the same lime. Measures have at once been takeu to get up a subscription for the housing of the poor burnt-out creatures, which U is to be hoped will be liberally responded to*by the more fortunate inhabitants. A IIORHIBLE AFFAIR, Mutiny on Boat'd a Liverpool Vessel- Murder, Suicide, Drowning [From tlie New York World.] A frightful instance of the demoralization common among a large number of passen geis of mixed classes upon a long sea voy age, occurred ou beard of tbe ship Calhoun, Cupt. Page, which arrived at this port yes terday, from Liverpool. The Calhoun had thiee hundred aud sixty-five passengers, and a cargo of Merchandise consigned to Spot lord, Tileston & Cos. The journal of the ship presents a record of mutiny, murder, and suicide of the most astonishing chaiacter. All sorts of crime seem to have held sway over the ill-fated crew, and lawlessness prevailed during the voyage. The catalogue of crime had its be ginning on the 14th <>! August, when, while sue ship was lyiug quietly in the liver Mer sey, Charles Green, the steward of Ibusbip, committed suicide by swallowing poison, aud was buried in Liverpool. His example seem ed iulectiuus, for, on the Ist of September, Frederick Jargensen took his owu lile by ■ jumping overboard from the side of the ver sed. Ou the 19th, Francis William?, the se cond officer of the ship, succumbed to a vio lent attack of brain fever, and thus the ves sel was deprived of an impoituut officer. On the 21st the discontent of the crew about the quantity and quality of food doled out to them broke forth with great violence in a combined attack upon the cook, who ,v as probably not the one responsible for their enure of corop.laiut. In the melee which ensued upon tills outbreak, among so many passengers, pistol shots were freely ex changed, and one man, James Maloue, a sea man, was shot to death. The crew continued In a mutinous condition, and seized a couple of their officers, whom they thrust into the wheel house, and strictly guarded. Upon the Calhouu's arrival yesterday, a Fteain-tug was dispatched in search of naval assistance and speedily, with the United States revenue cutter Crawford, Captain T. Clumn, in tow. Tbe captaiu finding the ship s crew iu a state of mutiny, he immedi ately released the imprisoned officers and thrust the remainder of the ctew in irons. The Crawford remained in|eomptuiy with the Calhoun uutil reaching tne city, when her captain bad the disorderly crew turned over to the proper authority. A Step in tue Right Direction.—- It will be some satisfaction to the travelling public to know that the Grand Jury have indicted tbe proprietors of the Peckskilf bpal Arrow, for the manslaughter of those parties who lost their lives by the explosion on board that steamer. It is the first time, we believe, that responsible parties iu the ownership of steam boats or railroads have been held to a legal accountability on a criminal charge.—.V. Y. Herald. The Greenville, (Fla.,) New Era makes tbe following uppnlbgy: The New Era fail ed to make Us appearance last week, which was the result of a combination of circum stances, two of wbtch wel.e: Ist. One of our compositors was sick, and could not work, and 2d. We got married, and would not work. The Feniau Movement. Grand Rally at tlie Cooper Institute— Let I ure by Ll. Col Wm R. Roberta— Remarks by Col. O'.Ho. hotly- and Hr. John Uogun—Great Untliu.lum. Ac. The largest gathering of the Fenian Broth erhood which lias met in New York since the inception of the movement was convened last evening in tbe Cooper Institute. Long before the hour appointed for the commence ment of tlie proceedings (he spacious build ing was crowded in every part, the audience being composed in part ot the. daughters of Eriu. Tlie principal object of the Hrother huod-in assembling «a mass * was to listen to a lecture by Lt. Col. Wm. R. Roberts of the BetmlHl Regiment New York State Militia, upon a theme appropriate to the object sought to be promoted by the association. A com pany of the Ninety ninth New York Volun teers was detailed in various parts of the building to preserve order. At eight o’clock Col. John O’Mabony, ac companied by a number of prominent mem bets of the Fenian Brotherhood, made hits appearance on tlie platform, which was the signal tor great cheering. He introduced tlie lecturer of tlie evening, who, in his in troductory remarks, said be Was gratified to see such a signal aud overwhelming demon stration in She cause of the Niobe of nations —poor, oppressed and deeply injured Ireland. (Applause.) He trusted tbe time had come when tlie people would distinguish carefully between the gratitude they owed the mau and ttbe allegiance due their country. Col. Roberts then, iu eloquent terms,drew a vivid picture of the efforts made by the people of tlie Ameri can colonies in 177« to ghuke of the despo tism of the ‘ ‘royal brute," George HI, which they did by the sword, the only talisman that brave men wielded against tyrants. The Euglisb government wastue most deadly and subtle toe of human freedom beneath the blue arch of heaven. When Americans tri umphed over tlie cursed power of a defeated and humiiated king they held up t the world tlie principle of the majesty and di vinity of the people. That principle was welcomed by the Irish people, who, from their earliest history, worshipped freedom aud independence. They loved their uative glens aud mountains, and they loved them still. (Applause.) He dwelt in emphatic lauguage on the usurpations and tyranny of the English rule iu Ireland. The English in tlie past as well as now were human butch ers or brutal and unrelenting tyrants; and in this connection, to support his assertions, tic read au extract from the pen of the King of Ulster in 132!). But, notwithstanding the tyranny and injustice, Ireland was not yet devoured. (Loud applause.) Her heart still throbbed with au irresistiole impulse of unconquerable louging for freedom and a lmte, hitler, deep aud unappeasable, uutil it had avenged her centuries of wrong. (En thusiastic cheering.) Tlie spirit of tlie Eiig lisli government towards Ireland was sub stantially’ the same under Victoria as it was with Elizabeth aud George the Fourth, the first gentleman and the first blackguard in all Europe. (Laughter.) The speaker alluded to tue statement ot the New York corres pondent of the London Times, that tlie num bers of Irish emigrants were so great that it was unsale to walk Broadway, and proceed ed to Qompliment Archbishop McCloskt-y, who. ire believed, was desliutd tri ho one of the brightest ornaments of tlie church in tliii or any oilier country. He knew the church’s place aud where to keep it, and he would not he forgotten iu tlie distant hereafter by his Irish co-religionists, when there would be a black mark against the memory of many— (Cheers.) Tne London Cockney- was apt to 'describe the Irishman as a monster, hut he had turned up in very unexpected times and places to wreak liis vengeance on her aud her minions. (Applause ) May God grant, said the lecturer, when lie strikes the power of his arm will lie multiplied by six times six, aud as the blow descends muy the memory of the wrongs of seven hundred years drive it home to the heart of the im placable foe ofhis country. (Loud and pro longed cheering.) He warned the Ameri can people'against the glaring falsehoods of British newspapers, auu the Irish press in the Interest of England were just as bad. The American press should'give extracts from ttie Irish People, but he understood from the ue.vs to-day that that journal was suppress ed. Still, there was a power behind the Peo ple that still existed, and would exist. (Ap plause.)l ■ The English government perhaps thought that iu seizing that paper it had de stroyed the right arm of the power of the Fe nian movement, btu they would bnve to seize every man and build more jails, before the Irish people would be destroyed. The Dublin Irishman partially supported tbe cause of the Fenians, but the speaker stig matized the Cork Examiner, which did the dirty work of the English government. The lecturer theu dwelt upuu tiie clerical tutelage ofeetruin reverend gentlemen who discoun tenanced the Feniau movement. There were good reasons why a political movement should not be identified with the church, but he maintained that the liberation of Ireland was not a matter That called for the Pope's interference. The freedom of Ireland con cerned the Irish nation aud the Irish people of every creed, precisely'as the independence of America was A blessing valued aud shared by ail sects alike. (Applause.) He hud no doubt when the independence of Ireland was achieved, there would be Te Heums in Rome as well as in Dublin for the success of their arms. When their souls needed comfort they sent for the priest; but when they were rob bed and enslaved they (the people) used the means which God and nature gave them to Tight themselvs. That was the doctrine of men who were fit to enjoy' freedom, and it was the doctrine of (lie Fenians. If t hat was a crime he was willing to abide the consequences of it- The time bad come when the chains that bound Ireland In the slaviaJF yoke of foreign despotism should be broken. The reason why the revolutionary movement in 1780 did not meet with the same success as in America and Greece was because of tbe want of true patriotism in the leaders, who were aristocrats. The masses of the Irish people were thus taught that if ever they ex pected to wiu their .independence they must depend upon themselves alone. (Applause.) The tide upon which tbe Feuian9 expected to lloal the bark of Irish independence was the great power and ability of the Irish-Ameri eau element, and the sterling common sense and practical patriotism ol the masses in Ireland to-day. There were four millions of Irish exiles in America, who, though they wotshipped at the shrine of American inde pendence, wete warmly interested in their native laud. Irishmen in America were the peers of the best and bravest in power, wealth aud intelligence, and in dying they would leave their vengeance ns a legacy to their children; and, no matter where scat tered, England would find an undying and relentless toe in every quarter ot the globe in which an Irishman lived. He asked was Ireland to remain forever a degraded and impoverished nationality ? (Loud cries ot “No! No! ') Was there an Irishman who professed the slightest respect lor bis country so stupid or bolu as to assert that it the peo ple of Ireland were united they could not win their independence ? Why should Irish men stand aloof from the Fenian Brother hood aud ref use to assist with their counsel and theif means the men who were enlisted in the holiest cause that tongue or sword ever engaged in? He criticised the inactivity of certain men who in limes past Bounded the clarion of her liberty, but who now stood aloof from tlwFcnians. Some asserted that the American government would kick the Fe nean Brotherhood into- the gutter. He would teiiauch people that the only government that Worn a CfPr the Fenian Brotherhood SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1865. would be the Irish republic whose agents were here. If KugUtid kept on proclaiming counties aud arresting people w ilbout shadow ot law, lie thought if a state of war existed tlie Un’tcd States would carry out the law of nations ns laid down by England when it granted the South belligerent rights. This would be claimed as a right by the American government when the proper time arrived The question would come before them in such a stiape that tlie right would he granted, when the blockade would be rim and the Irish republican loan would he announced, which Would soon be ready for deliver}’. It was asserted that tlie Feniaus would cast their influence with oilier of the great polit ical parlies, which the orator proclaimed to be a falsehood ; hut he trusted that fraternity would be found cn the side best carulated to protect the Union. (Applause.) He spoke of the businesslike manna’ in wbicli tbe affairs of the brotherhood were managed, and said the machinery was as perfec' as tbe circum stances would permit it to be. working in harmony with tbeir friends at borne, wbo would one day and at tbe proper lime show tbe mettle aud power of Irish hearts. He advised no precipitate action ; lot Irish inde pendence wa9 a boon worth waiting and woi k ing for; for if they took the necessary time to strengthen tbeir movements British dominion could be expelled from the soil of Ireland just as surely as the stars were gleam ing in the heavens. In conclusion he dwelt in n humorous strain upon the recent exhibi tions of fear on the part of the British gov ernment, denounced the spies from across the water who were watching the Feniau head quarters, and eloquently appealed to every irishman to either join the brotherhood or furnish means to enable others to fight for tbe independence of Ireland. The orator was londcd by applauded on resuming bis sea.t In response to vociferous calls Colonel O'Mahoney made a lew remarks. He said that there were no other means proposed whereby to redeem In land but those sug gested by the Fenian Brotherhood, ami he asked why should not every Irish patriot co operate with them? H urged his brethren to be bold, brave and persevering, and not to shriek from their brothers in Ireland in this the hour of tbeir trial. If the Feniau Brotherhood were united in.action, in inoveiueui and iu soul they would defy and triumph over all the efforts of tbeir Eug-' li-li enemies. He proposed three cheers for Old Ireland, for tbe land of their adoption and for die orator of the evening, all of which \qgie given with an Irish enthusiasm. Mr. John Hogan, of St Louis, an ardent friend of the Feniau movement, was intro duced, nnd in an earnest and thrilling ad dress spoke of tbe capacity of Irishmen for self-government aud whit they had accom plished in America, filling as they did the the most responsible and honorable position in commercial, professional and political life. The audience then separated, giving vent as they left the halt to their enthusiasm and approbation of tlie sentiments uttered by the speakers in the most demonstrative manner. THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESAN CONTENTION. Prospective Union of the Southern Church —Plans Invited for its Accomplishment —lmportant Letter from the Bishop of Georgia. [From the Sew York World.] The convention of the Episcopal Church of the diocese, which will commence to-day at St. Jolui’s chapel; Varick street, promises to be one of the most important iu tlie eccle siastical history of New Yo>k. It will take preliminary cognizance of the principal sub jects to be discussed at the triennial conven tion, and its action will doubtless have con slderable influence with that body. UNION .WITH THE SOUTHERN CHURCH. The address to be delivered by Bishop Pot ter on the occasion has already been pre pared. As hitherto, it will form one of the leading features ot the session. The few reverend gentlemen who have been privi leged to peruse the address in advance of its delivery, declare that it heartily indorses tbe reception of the Southern Church, and re commends the fullest exercise of fraternal love toward the Episcopalians of the late Confederate Stßtes. The Bishop is said to lavor a proposition that the Clergy should present the most feasible plans for re-uniting the Church, North and South, in order to fur nish every facility for tbe settlement of tlie questions involved, by the triennial bod}’. The address recommends this course IMI'OKTANT . LETTER FROM THE BISHOP OF GEORGIA. It may be stated here parenthetically that Bishop Potter recently received a letter from the Bishop of Georgia, who is regarded as the leader ot the Southern Church. The let ter, which has not been published, tavots the appointment of a southern and northorn committee of churchmen, to confer on some plau of unity to be presented, preparatory to the final action of the’trienoml convention. As yet, however, there are no indications that this suggestion will be adopted; ns tbe Northern Church generally take the ground that the Southern Church must he treated not as schismatics but as absentees. But the episcopal acts under the confederate regime, will cause but little controversy. BISHOP POTTER’S ADDRESS —THE, DIVISION Or THE DIOCESE. It is further stated, in regard to Bishop Potter’s forthcoming address, that it opposes the proposed division of the diocese, as liith tc; unless a great majority of the clergy should not only favor hut urce it. It repeats the bishop’s ability to attend to the vast re gion under his charge ; and avers that it is impolitic at this time to make any change. The large number of episcopal acts of the dioceseun, and his extended tour to the churches, is cited In proof of the tact. THE tow CHCRCH CLERGY The address, our informant states, also contains a lengthy allusion to the cause which led Bishop Potter to issue his pastoral, which was first printed in The World ; aud it fur ther refers to the answers which it called forth ftom some of the Low Church divines. It expresses the belief of the bishop that his action has not only the approval ot the cler gy of this diocese, but of every other throughout the country. The bishop's un willingness to deni harshly with tbe refrac tory ministers, and the necessity of disci pline on a repetition of the aileged violatk ns of tbe ciDOD, in regard to mm-Episcopai clergyman, also form a part, of the address. These are the leading topics of the address. A COMPLAINT TO BE MADE AO AIN ST TUE REV. 8. H. TYNG, JR. Some of the leading clergy state that the necessary measures have been taken to pre fer a formal complaint against tbe Rev. S. H. Tyng, Jr., for allowing a uou-Episcopal minister to preach iu his church a week since, in alleged defiance of the pastoral. The High Ctiurch cle.rgy, in general, declare that the bishop should ungown Mr. Tyng for the act. The bishop, however, is known to be hostile to proceeding to any such extremity. But he is propelled by a High Church force, which he is said to be unable to resist. THE GEORGIAN METHODISTS TO UNITE WITH THE EPISCOPALIAN S. It may be here staled that many of tbe leading Methodist divines of Georgia have, with the approval of their Congregations, made overtures to the Episcopal Church of that State, atxl some of the clerical officers ot the triennial convention, to unite with the Episcopal Church. Tbeir hostility to north ern Methodism, and Its incidental hatred of i tbe South in yeara past, ia said to be the ; prime motive of the act. BY TELEGRAPH. Connecticut Repudiates Negro Suffrage.

Petrolium is higher—Crude is selling at 39 a 40 1-2 cents. Freights are quiet. Gold is selling at 44 a 44 1-8. Tlie Alabama Convention. Augusta, Sept. 29. The Montgomery Convention lias adopted an Ordinance electing State officers on the first Monday in November; also, to facilitate the marriage ot negroes? authorizing the county commissioners to provide for the in digent and helpless negroes; and directing judicial officers to continue to act as agents of the freedmen’s Bureau. Relief for Southern Cotton Holder* . The Washington correspondence of the New York Herald, of the 28th, has the fol lowing, of great interest to cotton holders: The Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner oi’lnternal Revenue have now, under consideration, a circular, wbicli will be issued iu a day or two, to be directed to the government Tax Collectors, with a view if relieving the holders of cotton in the South ern States. It is found that these cotton hol ders are generally unable to raise the money to pay the immense tax, etc., required by tlie act of July 2, 18G4, to lie paid before ship ment to tbe Government agent, iu the ncat- I est locality or district in which the cotton ! may be found, nnd it is also found impracti ; cable and sometimes impossible for these 1 cotton owners to come North and obtain the requisite funds by hypothecating their staple. The law ns heretofore, construed, seemed to j present an unsurmouutable obstacle to the : shipment of Cotton to the Northern ports be fore tlie government assessments should be paid, but the Secretary of the Treasury with the aid of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, has, it is believed, discovered a piau by which owners may ship their cotton to Northern markets and pay tlie govern ment charges in those ports. If this plan be carried out, it will release and send to the Northern markets in immense amouut of property which is now tied np in the South by reason of tlie former strict and technical 1 construction of the law.
