BRAZIL. The Wnr of Church ?nd StoU In Active *nd Embittered Profreii? fonllfirul Appeals to the ?OB|w^a? tloit*? Imperialist UUreiti In the Argentine Struggle?A Bloody Scene on HUipboard?Fort Untie* and lleve ' itio Janeiro, Nov. 5. 1874. A new fillip lias just been given to the Brsmilan ecclesiastical dlttlculty by the publication, by order of the imprisoned Blsnop of Para, of au ex tensive pastoral to his parishioners, and by tils commanding, in direct defiance of the claims sustained by the civil power, in virtue or the con sututioa. the reading, from all the pulpits of his diocese, of two letters addressed to him and his follow prisoner, the Bishop of Oilnda, by Ills Holiness Plus IX., In which letters the Pope ap proves of the course of the bishops, gives them the Apostolic oie-slng, and declares that he had been deceived by the Brazilian envoy sent to treat with him on the religious question. In regard to this mutter the Brazilian government Htlli remains last to its do-notning policy, trnsting, It hints, to succeeding In convincing the mind of llts lioliuess of the necessity of dlscouutenuncing the procedure of the bishops and commanding their obedience to the dictates ol the Brazilian constitution, to prevent mischief to the Church, But no one here believes that the present Pope will yield an iota of his pretensions to universal dominance, and the ultramoutanes naturally, and with reason,scol! at the government's simplicity und ask It what it has named by its imprisonment 01 the bishops and lt^ neuotlatlous with the Pope, Bceing that the interdicts are still uullited ami its assertion 01 the supremacy of the state practically as well as theoretically treated with contempt, lu fact, the government half measures have settled notUing and have merely humbled it by tUeir lu eoicicncy. TilK RLLATIONS TO THE INSURRECTIONIST ARIiUN raw. Captain btanlslao Przewodowski, the commo dore ol the Bruziliau Motnia on the Upper Uru guay, li.is been acquitted by the court martial, and tne acquittal continued by the Supremo Military 'i'rtbunal 01 Justice, upou the charge brought against, him for throwing lour shells at the Aryen tine military and trading post ol Alvear, on that river, because ol the maltreatment therein ol the cblet surgeon ol the ilotilia and the persistent neglect. to punish the offenders. What the Argen tine go vent m nt will think ol ttils aequiial it Is not dttticult to imagine, but: It helps to slow the bitter teeiing in Brazilian military circles against tbeirfoviuer ally, owing to the lampooning and rid icule whicu chaiacterized the Ar^entiue i re.is and which is still permitted by the government, not withstanding the stern censorship which is now maintained in Buenos A vies. Ti<A(iKI)V IIY lltrTINKERg. A tragedy occurred last week on board the ship Ring Pniilp, trom Cardiff lor Valparaiso, how un dergoing repairs here, whose crew, ull but six, ??boiled" on arrival, The remaining men were tho two mates, the Biewaru, three seamen and tho cook. On tho 28th, wuen captain Kawlins went aboard, lie iound the quarterdeck stream.ng with blood, the stewaid dying, the three Xiamen lying on the deck seriously wounded, and the two mates engaged in a death struggle, lie attempted to paciiy them, hut his efforts appeared only to excite their lury lurthei. lie proceeded, therefore, to the United muicb flagship Lancaster, whence a party was despatched who seized the two maies and handed them over to tho Brazilian police. According to the story ol the.secoud mate, Thomas Murray, and the three seamen, tho llrst nmte, W. P. itjrne, got luriously drunk, quarrelled with the steward, s.iot at luui and bear, hnn on the head with a revolver, iracturiug nis skud and causing his death next day. lie then turned on the others, prostrated Hie three seamen with shots, and compelled the second mate, whom he alno wounded, to engage in the death struggle going on wnen Captain Hawllns came on board. Ti e cook came on bourd white tne atl'alr was in progress, but made his escape on shore by a haw ser. lhe steward was an Englishman, named Allred M. Jackinan. 1*0kt nmES tariff.

THE FOIUTU AVE!* IE INPllOYEHEXT? Ltttwi from Corporation Counsel Smith and Mayor Vance?The Latter in Favor of Paying the City's bharo of the Cost. Mayor Vance has decided that the city Is re sponsible lor payment of one-half the cost of the Fourth avenue Improvement, In accordance with an act ol tlie Legislature passed for that special purpose. The following correspondence bus taken place in relation to the matier, and was yesterday .given to the public by the Mayor:? Law OKriRTMKKT?<<rrn'K or thk Cotmsrx to tm > Corporation, Nkw York, Hue. 10. IS74. i The Hon. Samukl 11. 11. Vanck. Mayor ol tho City ol New York Sir?In the matter of w hat Is called the "Fourth ave nue improvement," your preaecensor ruisud question* on tlio constitutionality una validity of the luw under which the oily id obligated to i>uy ono-hall ot the ox jx-nscs ot thatimprovement 1 learned irom Mr. ilavc loeyer that the objections originated wuh liim.se II, and that having himself originated the questions. he ut<kcd Uie opinion of Mr. .Mmou .-terne, who agreed with lam, and put nin reason* in writing. Mr. Havemcver re quested me to ptve my sanction'to the retainer ol' Mr. rtcrne lo put the whole matter In litigation. X strongly advised against this; and being unable to inlluuicu linn. 1 obtu.ned, in a manner to render liiem entirely Impartial, opinion* lrora Mr. S. 1*. Nash, an eminent lawyer ol tins city and ot Mr. llcnry E. Dimes, lor ineriy presiding Judge of the Court ui Appeals. Those gentlemen were asked to give their jn lemcnt without b as. i hey did so. My own opinion was strongly sustained by theirs. Nevertheless, 1 yielded to the very earnest, request ol Mr. llnvemeyer, and r>er mitted the litigation to proceed at least so tar as tho Special lerm ol the Supreme Court, with Incipient w.am relating to an appeal, it resulted in a decision ot tlio Kupreme Court, eiven by Mr. Justice Westbroofc, that tli. re wan no ground whatever for opposition to tl.e law on tne part ot the citv authorities. I transmit Judge Westbrook's opinion, with the opin ion ol Me-srs. Nnsli and Davies to the sumo effect. I re gard these three opinions as unanswerable. I also enclose the printed opinion ot Mr. Sterne and his printed argument. I think li igation here is a most causeless and useless expenditure ot public money. 1 advise you. alter the most thorough examination ot all the laws anil judlci il decisions bearing upon the sub ject, that yourself, as Mayor of the city, aud the Comp troller and Auditor ure bound by law to sign and deliver (tie warrants necessary to meet the obligations of the city, as urovided iu the act ot tlio ^legislature referred to in the opinions here with sent. I wid he glad of any intimation of your views upon th? subject. I ain. sir. very respectfully, your obedient servant, K. PEl.AHtLll feMli 11, Counsel to the Corporation. Exf.cutivs Dkfaiitmbnt, Citt Hall. Dec. 14. IP71. E. Dh.ahki.d Smith, K?q., Counsel to the Corporation Sik? I received your communication ol Ibe ltitli Inst., with the accompanying nape?, as to tlio litiga tion lo what is known as the "fourth avenue Improve ment" My uttenlion was attracted to this liligatior. when tlio same was progressing before the supreme Court I read atthe tune the opinion ot Mr. Justicc Westbrook, direct ing a writ ol peremptory uiuudumus to isauc, and was impressed with ilie reasons assigned by liiiu tor the con clusion at which lie arrived. Tnis opinion, together Willi your own and tlio-e ol Mr. Darie> and Mr. Nash, now lor the first time communicated to me, leave in my mind no doubt as to the course which it is the duly of the olheers ot the city to follow in the matter. '1 he law relating lo the Improvement should be carried out In good laitli. and the litigation stopped. While 1 sympathize with the ilci-ire so strongly felt and so olten uianllestcd bv m.v predecessor, to reduce by every luwiul means in his power the burdeps of the city, 1 am ol opinion that, in this imrltculnr insuuee, the liti gation ou his part was u mistake. 't he improvement of Fourth avenue was commenced with the approval ?( the city. The necessity (or some such improvement was generally acknowledged, and the prosecution oi the worn was actively promoted by all parties w ho felt the incoitvenl n e and were exposed to tne dangers resulting tri m the pre-existins state ol mat ters. There are tew persons in the city who are not de airotis that the work should be completed as speedily as possible, aod when completed there can lie no doubt but that it will he one id the grcate-l public impro\cmenu and benefits secured to the city of Is c years. No person has suggested, so tar ?s I know, that in the matter ol this improvement or in the manner of it* ex eoution any wrong or Imposition Ims been practised upon the city. As so prooerly urged by Ju ige West brook, "I here is no i reieiico hut Hist the Hoard of en siseers in churgc ol the work lias honestly and con scientiously done its duty, llio amount of money duo Irom the cit.v ha* been uduisled, deterimiied and ascer tained hy a tribuiiul specially organize I and created for the purpose and which, composed as It was of men of conceded integrity. ability and loarning, acting under tilei sanctities ol an oath, was infinitely better qualified to discharge that duty th in any court or lury possibly could be. l)hiine a court, which, to ascertain fact*, must re'y upo i evidence of others, this Hoard had per (tonal knowledge ot the truth und right ot their Judg ment, the work having heen done unuer llislr aupcrvis ton and according to llielr plans." The Comptroller recognizius th? force of such facts as these, and satisfied oi the duty and obligation ot tho Slt.v in relation to this improvement, caused to be audited and lias pant several oi Hie claims presented for |hc ex cutlon oi the wor* In my judgment the fotnp troller was fully .iiistifind In all ho has done in connec tion with the payment ol these claims As the particular warrant to which the litigation re lates was returned by my predecessorto the Department ot Finance I will forward to the Comptroller aeoov of your communication and ot this reply, that he may lie mado acquainted with the course I consider it to be mv duty to follow in the matter. I will su.gcit to this Comptroller the propriety ol delivering the warrant Signed by Mr. Ilavemeyrr, or to prepare and forward to Hie lor signature a new warrant, ? hleh I will sign on the cancellation ol the previous one. Ol course you will mco that whatever proceedings mar lie neci ssary are taken to have ihu litigation closed. I return the papers which accompanied your coin muiiieatlou to uie.
