OBZIVAK7. Narqib Leonel de Moustler. A cable telegram from Paris announces the death in that city yesterday of the Marquis de Moustier, late Minister for Foreign Affairs. The deceased statesman was one of the most distinguished public men of France. He belonged to a noble family the Francho-Comte and was descended from Retiaud de Moustler, who accompanied King Philippe Au gustus In the third crusade and lost his life in 1190 at the siege of St.

Jean d'Acre. This family has sent many warriors Into the field and In later times has given to France able and distinguished diploma tists. The ancestor of the late Marquis, the Count and afterwards the Marquis Ellonore Francois Elie de Moustier, born on the 16th of March, 1751, and deceased the 18th of January, 1817, was successively Embassy of the Marquis of Clermont at Naples in 1778, Minister of the King at the Court of the Elector of Treves in 1783; to the United states in 1787, and 'n 1190. Louis XVI. oirered him the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, but he preferred to be charged with other public duties at the Embassy at Constantinople.

The Revolution con demned him to inactivity, proscription and exile Clement Edouard, born the 2d of Jan 1779, and deceased the 6th of January lsao, entered upon public business as secretary of Legation in Germany, where he continued from isoo to He afterwards became Charge d'Affaires at and Mmlster Plenipotentiary at the Court PJL 5 Baden, of the King of Wurremburg, the King of Hanover, and the Swiss Confederation Elected Deputy for the Department of Doubs In 18.4, he was In the interval charged with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the retirement of M. de Chateaubriand. Finally he occupied the of Ambassador to Spain, whence he was recalled at the time of the complications occasioned by Doin Miiruel In Portugal. Marquis Lionel de Moustler, the subject of this sketch, was the eldest son of Clement fcdouard, aud tT.fv early part of the Present tenturjro In 184D he became a member of the Lejrlaw.Vh6^8 and for the zial with which he espoused all measures of order and moderation After the re-estabilshmeut of the empire under Louis Napoleon he gave an anient buoport to the new rrmme, and in 1863 commenced his by being appointed Minister Plenipocentiary at tho Court of Berlin, which had then 1Ue SKI" and tact with which he conducted to a sticcesHj'ul the various diplomatic questions which had arisen between his government and that of Prussia gained him tho friendship of the Emperor, although he is said to have been uuito unpopular In Berlin, probably on account of the firmness with which he UDheid the dignity of the French empire as represented by Napoleon, who was then sneered at as a parvenu ruler. In 1859 the Marquis was charged with the H01' re-establishing diplomatic relations with Austria, which had been broken off by the war 'tallanunltJ- Tins task he performed admirably, aud, after remaining at Vienna lor two years was, in appointed to succeed the Marquis de la wtSKf! Embassy at Constantinople.

While in Turkey the war between Prussia SE2. M. Drouyn de LhuysJ then Mmister for Foreign Aflairs, was an advocate of energetic measures with regard to the aggrandizement of Prussia, and favored pushing them even to war. The Emperor, however, who appears not to have favored the views of his Minister, requested his resignation, wnich was tendered, aid the deceased was recalled from Constantinople and appointed his successor in September, In June! 1867, he was elevated to the grade of urand Cross of the Order of the Legion of Honor, in December last the Marquis de Moustier, with several other ministers resigned his portfolio, and on the same day that ins resignation was accepted Napoleon appointed him a Senator of France. He was succeeded by the Marquis de la Valette, the present Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The deceased diplomat was regarded an able statesman and a warm supporter of the house of Bonaparte. At the time of his death he held no other position than that of Senator, but stood high in the confidence oi the Emperor, who loses in him a steadiast and devoted friend. BOaJttflC MISSIONS. Interesting Protestant Episcopal itliselonaiy Mrrtlai at the Academy of Mmle. The Academy of MubIc, which on Thursday evening was the scene of the extravagant frivolities and whirl of excltemeut of the Arlon ball, was last evening transformed Into a place of divine worship, the occasion being a missionary meeting In the Interests of the domestic missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church- But although the assemblage of last evening met for a religious purpose, there were those among them who could not help mating all the opera house display which the circumstances would permit, and who plnmed themselves In the proscenium boxes and ogled the house with lorgnettes, as though they were actually taking a mraseye view of the veritable heathen.

The house was comfortably filled by a very respectable audience, and the entire stage was occupied by musicians and chorus alngera. fn fact, the meeting was more of a musical entertainment than a missionary gathering. There was a grand orchestra of about thirty pieces, selected from the 1'hllharmoMc Society, with George F. Brlstow as oonductor. Miss Maria Brainerd, Charlotte Hutcnlngs, George simpson and J.

R. Thomas, vocal soloists, and a chorus of seventy-five voices, made up tho remainder of the musical talent and power of the conceit. The exercises were Inaugurated by the ainglng of the hymn, "All Ball 'he Power of Jesus' Name," the awllencn joining, alter which the creed and prayers were repeated by them. Then followed three from the oratorio of Daniel," the Waters of Babylon" Israel, Return" (aria), and the chorna Oh that the Salvation of Israel." Kev. w.

Doanb, Bishop elect of the Dloces? of Albany, was then introduced and delivered a most eloquent address full of earnest exhortation in behalf of the mission of Christ, and was listened to with the deepest attention. The address was succeeded by tho soios "Then appeared an angel," "Blessed be the name Of and the chorus "They that trust In the I.ord." "From Greenland's icy mountains," was then sung by the audience and choristers, after which Wight Rev. I)r. Littlbjoitw, Rlshop of Long Island, made a fervent appeal for support to the cause of domestic missions, and reminded his hearers that there never was a time when the opportunities of the Church to effect much for ths spread of the Gospel were so great at present.

He also spoke severely of the fashionable reoreatlons sought at theatres, and claimed that even among the professed church people there were five dollars spent for amusement for every dollar devoted to the cause of Christ. There was more money expended to carry on the war in this country than had been paid for the mission canse of the Christian Church since the Reformation, er during the past three hundred years; and more monay Was received In small change ov? the counters of dramshops and liquor saloons in New York and Brooklyn than la pMd Into the wslon societies ef this State.

Hie Moveatenia He Went? Hla Future Dolap. General Grant and Mrs. Grant, accompanied by Generals Dent and Badeaa, of the President elect's personal stair, remained at the Fifth Avenue Hotel during yesterday. The apartments occupied by the distinguished party are in a very quiet part of the hotel, and there is nothing about the building which would Indicate the presence In It ol the President elect, except the "Stars and Stripes" which float over the edtflce In hla honor. General Grant kept himself very quiet throughout the day.

Quite a number of persons called to see him, either on matters of business or to pay lriendly visits, but ouly a few were admitted into his rooms, auu those were mainly personal Irleuds. About noon the General entered a carriage and drove down Broadway, lor the purpose of transacting some little matters of business. He visited two or three stores and made purchases of various articles. lie then proceeded to the establishmeat of Messrs. Appleton it spent some little time In Inspecting the different departments.

About two o'clock he returned to the hotel and made his way to his apartments without being observed, or at any rate recognized by the loungers around the building, who nevertheless were ou the lookout to catch a glimpse of Hie "coming man." Shortly before live o'clock General and Mrs. Grant and Generals Badeau and Dent entered carriages and proceeded to the residence of Mr. McKean, at No. 446 Secoud avenue, where a reception was being given. After a short stay at this place the purty proceeded to the resideuce of Mr.

Moses H. lirlunell, where they partook of dinner. A very select party had been invited to meet the President elect, composed of frieuds of the host and also of the guest. Dinner was served shortly after the arrival of the party, and they did not leave until an advanced hour in the evening. In the morning It was the intention of the iieuerai to spend some part or the evening at Pike's opera House, and a proscenium box was reserved for the use of the party.

The arrangement was not, however, carried out, and the persons who had visited the theatre in expectation of seeing General Grant had to go away disappointed. It is generally understood that General Grant and his party will remain at the Fifth Avenue Hotel till they leave town on Monday ulght. and will not be the guests of ex-Governor Hamilton Fish, as was supposed at the time of their arrival. The programme for the General, so lar as dinners are concerned, Is now quite lull, every night being taken up. To-morrow night the party will be the guests of ex(iovernor Hamilton Fish; on Sunday tiiey will be entertained by Mr.

A. T. Stewart, and on Monday night Mr. s. B.

Chittenden will have the honor of their company at his residence In Brooklyn. The President elect will leave this city on Mouday night after the dinner in Brooklyn. GRANT AND HIS ADMJilSTHATIOM. The Humbling of Distant Cloud no Digger than a Man's Hand." the Cincinnati Commercial (semi radical), Feb. Six weeks ago the politicians in Washington who fancied that they were the persons to be consulted by General Grant in regard to Cabinet appointments were fretting because their advice had not lieeu asked and because General Grant appeared to have friends in New York city with whom be made himself at home.

There was a little amusement and not a Utile irritation because when General Graut arrived in Washington, soon after the November election, lie caused some bushels of letters addressed to him to be burned without reading. That circumstance, upon the whole, did not look as if the General would be on the most amicable terms with the party hacks und acknowledge infinite obligations to the professional politicians. Now, General Grant Is going to New York again, and though his Inauguration will take place wlthm a month he has not opened his mouth about his Cabinet, further than to say that he would presently not ask advice, but advise the gentlemen he proposes to call to the heads of departments, it believe and there is terror in the thought, that ke has deliberately taken hia pocket slate and clrhered out the Cabinet for himself. How does he know whether his Cabinet will please the party? Well, perhaps he don't care very much whether the party is pleaded. At any rate the wisest 01 the persons assembled at Washington, and by courtesy called siatesmen, stiake their heads and say tuey know nothing about Grant.

He was a military necessity, and that's all; or, in the last words of Hamlet, "the is silence." it will be remembered that the House of Representatives, some time ago, hurriedly repealed the Tenure of Otilce and it must have been noticed that the Senate ha? not done anything of the sort; and It is tolerably apparent that it wiH not be doue. Clearly, in the hrst place, the Senate would unwllllngi.T, in any case, resign tlie peculiar power wliich it lias exercised during the war with Andrew Johnson; and certainly it appears there is a disposition, while Grant withholds irts conildence from tho to hold the Senate in a position to subordinate him. More than that, there is a bill before the Senate, and likely to be passed, foroiddlng a person in the military and uaval service holding a civil office. The real intent and meaning or the bill Is to prevent Grant from making a general Secretary of War and an admiral Secretary of the Navy. This Is the more significant because it is no secret that it is Grant's disposition to do just that.

THE ROCiKRS MiRDEB. More Case Given to Central Office Absurd Stories Put Lanoy's statements Reiterated. Since last writing no further revelations of a nature calculated to throw light upon tbe murder of Mr. Rogers have been made. De Lanoy was very active in hunting up further facts yesterday, but It has not transpired that his researches amounted to anything.

The Fifteenth precinct officers. It Is understood, have abandoned the case, the Superintendent having for tbe first time yesterday placed the matter In the hands of the detectives of the CetXral Office, who are now engaged In tbe unravelling of the mystery. The officials at the Central Offl? have inaugurated the work by endeavoring to throw more mystery around the case and secure the circulation of ridiculous statements said to have been made by one of the prisoners, it was circulated about headquarters yesterday that Ketlly had been communicated with by Captain oung, who wai assured that Maher wore lor some weeks alter his return to toe city a coat that he had secured in the country: that the coat becoming worn out proceeded with KeiUy to the Five Points Mission House, where he was given a new garment, and then proceeded to a rag store in liaxtcr street, where he sold It lor live cents. The coal he received from the Mission House, It Is be wore up to the time ot tue murder, and still wears it, and that he has never worn tue coat said to be given him by De No mention is made of the hat. however.

Rellly, it Is said, couflrms the statements of Collins in every particular as to tbe movements of Malier on the morning of tb? murder alter leaving the spring street station that he at once weut to the Tombs to tear Justice Dowling detine the law. It is sale to say that there is not a word of foundation lor this alleged statement of Rellly, and that It was circulated the express purpose or befogging tue public and the press. AMNUl AE DISCOVERY. When Loweiy arrested Maher It was given oat that a mau naued James Ketlly was also arrested. Tbe blotter ol the Fourteenth precinct shows that Rellly was takai out of tbe station house, aud this circumstance dive rise to the Impression that he was arrested.

hit was done with him Is a mystery. It is certain tb? he Is not confined In the Fifteenth precinct station house, at.d It Is equally certain that he Is not an Inkahltant of a cell at headquarters, as represented byofficiais about the building. If the truth were known It Is probable that he Is not a prisoner at a party who Is kept under surveillance to 1st the officers in solving the mystery. This ide? Is confirmed by the rumored statements made that individual. If Rellly really a prisoner It is artum that the officers have spirited htm away to prison where his whereabouts cannot be discovered.

De l.anov isstin as positive as ever In the declaration mat IS IM man to whom he gave the coat and hat vorn by tbe murderer on the (1st December. and heists that tbe defence will unable to prove thai It passed ftom his possession. Mrs. De Lauoy also recognizes the articles as formerly tielonging to her bus when mate of the steamer Connecticut. THE WHITE OVERCOAT.

Tbe fact ttit Maher was never seen about the Spring street station house wearing a white overcoat and the declaration of deceased that bis murderer handed-uch a garment to Ills confederate fore infllctlnglbe wounds are points used in the prisoner's favor; but tbe prosecution claim that the? will be abia to show that on tbe morning of the murder a coat of this description was stolen in Howery. Tbe officers, it is said, are endeavoring to discover by whom this coat was stolen. Their stpposttton. which may be erroneous, Is that a man vno would commit robbery and murder would steal a coat, and that on the way from the Fourteenti precinct he appropriated It, and after tbe murder nttde awajr with it, lest it should assist in his identUkation.

Olympic Dumpty," having witnessed the rise and fail of the sensational drama in this city, the capture of the town by tbe blondes of burlesque, and the auspicious revival of Shakapearlan tragedy and comedy, Is prepared to hold his own with the new claimants for public favor, and will, in all probability, flourish at the cosey Olympic for generations to come. The pale faced "Humpty" is just as mischievous and just as festive and jolly as ever, and the hilarious sport, though new, is just as mirth-provoking as when the capricious fellow first started upon his metropolitan rambles.

The new edition of the pantomime abounds In clever local hits, Is replete with new tricks and scenery and is hailed with the laugh of approval from large audiences every evening. All the leading characters in the piece remain unchanged; but many new faces have been added in the minor parts, besides the Introduction of many comical novelties, not the least of which is a ballet In long dresses and a ballet In very short dresses; but the two extremes do not meet upon the stage at the same time. This second volume of "Humpty Dumpty," though bound In calf, Is "bound to please" the public, and will, doubtless, enjoy as large a circulation as Its predecessor. There is, however, altogether too much ballet in tbe piece, which cannot but be benefited by an Immediate curtailment of its short skirted figurants. Bowkby Theatre Mr.

J. Mct'loskey, of this theatre, took his benefit here last evening with a crowded house, appearing In a new Irish drama, entitled "The Men In tbe Gap." He was assisted in its Interpretation by the full and efficient stock company of the house, all of whom seemed In their several n'ties to bestow extra care In their rendition in houor of the beneficiary. The piece was brought out with that completeness which distinguishes the present effective management, and eminently patriotic was loudly applauded. In addttioo to the above the usual extensive bill was presented. Musical and Theatrical Notes.

Sayre. BALIS LAST NIGHT. Protective Association. The sixth annual ball of this association came off last evening at Irving Hall, and proved to be one of the most agreeable reunions which this association has ever held, and certainly one of the best arranged and satisfactory bails that have been held at this hall during the present season. The room was very neatly decorated, and the company, which was very large, was each as to dispel at once any Idea of restraint beyond that which propriety and gentlemonllnc.s should dictate.

Commencing shortly after nine o'clock with a grand march, the festivities were continued throughout the night until the usual warnings of approaching dawn, loud and long, were oft repealed. The members of the association showed that they were quite expert In handing around the The officers of the Johnson, IfcDermott, Kcott, McMahon, Nash and with the floor manager, Mr. Kennedy, and his committee, arranges and conducted the festivities in such a manner as to warrant the assurance that everybody present uiu.it have enjoyed himself most heartuy. If there were no hearts fricasseed, cnt up Into fragments and cooked it was not because there were uo tender hearts present and no sweet smiles and bright eyes to do the cutting and the cooking. Then again the members showed themselves quite efficient in serving "toasts" at the refreshment board, aud when the well known strains of "Home, Sweet Home" were given by the band, if there were no "soles" well done it was only iiecause their owners had not gone through tin- lengthy and comprehensive menu which the hosts had provided for the occasion.

Young Men's Friendly Association. At the Germanla Assembly Rooms last evening this association gave Its fifth annual ball, and as the orders of dancing were headed "A friendly welcome to all," It must be said that all who were present certainly experienced a friendly welcome. The association comes from the upper portion of the island, and the receipts from their reunions are always donated to some deserving charitable object. The rooms in which the ball was held are well known as being among the most comfortable and well arranged of their kind in the city, and with the genuine friendliness which pervaded the entire company assembled last evening the guests could not feel otherwise than well pleased. The president, Mr.

James Krady. with his brother officers and the floor manager, Mr. James Tracy, assisted by his committee, were unremitting In their attentions to the wants and wishes of their guests and patrons. A programme of some thirty dances had been prepared and gone through with when the company separated to the well wishing strains of "Happy Be Iliy Dreams." The assemblage was for the most part composed of young people, snd that thoy had come to enjoy themselves could not for moment be doubted, as they seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion and lay aside all unnecessary fortrauties, and show that thev believed the greeting of their hosts to be more than sounding words and were determined to assist in the commendable effort or making friendliness supreme.
