KNABE The following are selected from the numerous Knate Testimonials in our possession : Mbssbs. Wm. Knabe ti Co. Gentlemen: I have great pleasure In certifying that I have tried your Grand, Square and Upright Pianos, and And them equal, U not superior, to any in this country. Among the great qualities which distinguish them, is the evenness of tone, the easy and agreeable touch and volume of tone. Wishing you all the Buccess which you so highly deserve, I am, sirs, Yours, very truly, ti. THAXJiERO. Tbanslation prom thiIFresch. After having played on the Piano of Messrs. knabe tc Co., It is Impossible not to bear testimony to their qualities, which have acquired for them the eminent reputation which they enjoy. The Pianos of their manufacture, on which I have played, are exceedingly remarkable for their qualities of tone. The Bass is powerful, without harshness, and the upper notes sweet, clear and harmoniously mellow, (chrystalin,) and I do not hesitate to express in regard to these instruments my entire satisfaction, and to declare that they are equal, if not superior, to the best manufactured in Europe or this country by the most celebrated makers. L. M. UOTTBCHALK. Messrs. Wa. Knabe & Co. Gentlemen: I cannot but congratulate you upod the Immense progress and improvements which you continually make on your Pianos, which, in my opinion, rank among the very best in the country. H. STBAKOBCH. Messrs. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: Having recently had opportunities of testing both your new scale Grand and Square Pianos, it gives me great pleasure to state that I have found them to combine all the qualities to make a Piano aa perfect as possible, and unsurpassed by any that I have seen either in this country or Europe. For great power and roundness of tone, combined with that peculiar sweet and singing quality, so often found wanting in Pianos, they are really unsurpassable, and in touch everything that can be desired by the most brilliant player. Wishing you every success, I remain, Yours truly, C. ANBCHUTZ. Messrs. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: Having had lately an opportunity to try and test your new scale Urand as well as Square Pianos, I cannot refrain, besides reiterating all I had occasion to say at a former period, from congratulating you on the important improvements you nave introduced in the manufacture of Pianos. Your instruments combine all the qualities which are required to.make a Piano as perfect as possible, and fully deserve the great popularity they have gained all over the country Yours truly, L. M. UOTTSCHALK. Messrs. Wm. Kkabe ft Co. GrntUmen : I was delighted on hearing the clear and full toneol your really ihrit Clan Pianot, and I congratulate you on the progress you have made in this branch of art. H. VIEUXTEJIPB. Messrs. Wm. Knabe & Co. Gentlemen: Our Opera Troupe are at present using four of your justly celebrated Pianos, and as the exponent of the views and opinions ef the various artists, permit me to say : 1 consider them as unturpait'd in lilliancy and excellence, and pre-eminent, without a rival in this country or in Europe. Their superior quality of tone, combining great depth and powerful volume, with a rich and peculiarly clear ana even treble, together with magic elasticity of touch and action, render them superior to the other instruments, which rarely if ever combine those most essential requisites. Profoundly impressed with the many valuable qualities of these Pianos, I most cheerfully endorse the high and meritorious encomiums everywhere pronounced upon them. E. MUZIO, Musical Director of the Italian Opera. Messrs. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to testily to the real excellence of your pianos. Ho many of my brother-artists have given you the highest encomiums, that nothing remains tor me but to indorse them. As tar as my own experience is concerned regarding your instruments, I can only say that they aatistled me in every way, and answered all my demands when I used them at the series of Pianoforte Soiries I recently gave in Baltimore. With best regards, I remain Yours truly, CARL WOLFSOUN. New Yore, Dec. 12th, 18G4. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: I have carefully examined your new scale Orand and Square Piano Fortes, and I must say they please me exceedingly, both with regard to touch and tone, and I can confidently recommend them as being equal to any in this country or Europe, and you have permission to make use of my name if of service to you. Yours respectfully, GEO. W. MORGAN, Organist of Grace Church. NlW Yobk, Dec. 15th, 18C4. Wm. Knabe ft Co.

In view of this, and taking into consideration the eminent success which lias attended your efforts, I can only say I know of none who find above you who can claim the merit of having doue more to advance the arv by producing a perfect instrument, or who have worked more enthusiastically in its interest, . W. K. BA88F0HD, Pianist, I recommend the pianos of Messrs. Knabe ft Co. to everybody who wants a really Jtrtl-eJaii instrument.

TELEGRAPHIC REPORTED FOR THE JOURNAL. FOREIGN NEWS. By Atlantic Cable. ENGLAND. London, March 13. In the House of Commons to-night Mr. Gregory inquired what ground the Government intended to take in regard to the use of mixed juries for the trial of foreigners in the English courts. The Attorney General re plied that the Government did not intend to Interfere with the decisions of the Judges on that point. Lord Stanley made an explanation as to the present state ot the controversy with Spain concerning the Tornado case. He said the last step taken by England was to demand the release of Mcl'herson. Earl Mayo, Chief Secretary for Ireland, said he would soon submit to the considers tlon of the House a plan for a new Irish Uni versity, the officers of which were to be named or read by Catholics, but whose prw ileges were not to be confined exclusively to Catho'lcs. The House then went into committee and resumed the debate on the grievances of Ire land. Mr. Horrman, member for Strand, said, members had promised a reform in Ireland but the reform proved to be a commission ol inquiry and a new university. More than this was needed to conciliate Ireland. He deprecated the creation of a new college of the character described by the Chief Sec retary for Ireland as likely to foment secta rian bitterness and anger. The laity were satisfied with the present system of national schools. He declared that no ministerial statement had ever caused him so much pain. A great opportunity was lost to conciliate Ireland, which should no longer be ruled by English laws, customs and prejudices, but according to the wishes of the Irish people. Mr. Robert Lowe thought there was no good reason why the different religious sects should not agree as well in Ireland as else where; the existence of Fcnianism was not in point as an evidence of discontent, for there was no proof that the body of Irish people sympathised with that rebellious spirit which was confined to American agitators. The trouble was deeper seated. It was untrue that Ireland had been injured by English legisla tion, general assertions only were made about land grievances, but no facts were presented He was opposed to the small tenures urged by Mr. 31111 and others as not the highest type of civilization, which If adopted would be stereotyped ad infinitum. He deplored the establishment of a sectarian college. Ncl-tlie clergy nor laity wanted It. The propo sition was simply a trick of the Government to gain time. The first was, that one-tenth of all property In Ireland was public, but was used for the benefit of only one out of twelve of the Inhabitants. This was the great evil, and It was a scaudulous one. Mr. Thomas Hughes made a speech, urging a general reform In Ireland. Mr. Vance, in the course of his remarks, argued that free trade had been very Injurious to Ireland. Mr. Jacob Bright forcibly denounced the anomalies of the Irish Church establishment. Mr. Mill deplored the beggarly account of the Irish policy of the ministry. He approved of the manly speech of Mr. Lowe on the Church question, and concluded his remarks with an argument showing that such a college as was proposed was Impossible. Mr. Gathorne Hardy defended the Government, giving a long review of its Irish policy He said he believed the same fears were expressed, and reasons given, In 1813 j yet how many years had the Whigs held tho power since then, without taking any action In regard to tho grievances of Ireland t At 11 o'clock P. M. the debate still continued. rltAMt.. Paris, March 12. A new law, defining .rod enlarging the rights of public mcetings,has been Introduced Into the Corps Legislate and Is now under discussion. Tho Figaro has becu prosecuted for a violation of the new press lav. ITALY. Naples, March 13.

By 11 o'clock the ladles' gallery was pack- cu oy as Driiuant an audience as upon a full dress opera night. Senators' chairs are ar ranged as before. In the open space in front of the President's chair are two Ion" tables. each furnished with seven chairs. One of the tables is intended for the managers and the other for counsel. Buck of the Senators' seats, and filling the entire lobby, are about two nunureu ciiairs intended for the accom modation of members of the House, the Ju diciary and others entitled to be present on tue lioor. By half-past eleven half the Senators had ranged themselves in little knots, discussing the momentous business of the (lav. It is noticeable that not a single negro Is in tue galleries. Everything is conducted with perfect order and decorum. The Chaplain invoked a blessing upoiijthose now entering upon a high and important duty. A number of petitions were presented, including one by Mr. MORTON, of the work-ingmeu of Ohio, for the passage of an eight hour law. Referred to the committee on Commerce. The bill to amend the Judiciary act came over from the House signed, and received tU signature of the President pro tern. The Senate insisted on its amendments to the consular appropriation bill, and appointed a committee of conference. At 1 o'clock, the morning hour having expired, the Chief Justice took the chair and the Sergeant-at-Arms made proclamation in the usual form; tbe Clerk read the Journal of the last meeting of the Court, a large number of Representatives, headed by the Managers of Impeachment, meanwhile standing in file outside the open door. On motion of Mr. HOWARD an order was made that the Sergeant-at-Arras notify the House that the Senate is organized as a Court of Impeachment and ready to proceed With the trial of Andrew Johnson. Immediately thereafter the Managers and members of the House took seats provided for them, Mr. Butler being absent. The Senators who had not already done so, took the oath. The return of the Sergeant-at-Arms of his summons on the President was read, when, On motion of Mr. JOHNSON, the counsel for the President were notified of the commencement of proceedings, and Messrs. Stanbcry, Curtis and Nelson took their seats at the table on the right ol the Chief Justice and opposite the managers, who were seated on the lelt. Mr. Butler, the remaining manager, came In shortly after. Another deputation of the House entered, headed by the Speaker, Washburue of Illinois, McPherson and the Clerk of the House, and ranged themselves behind the bar. Mr. 8TANBERY rose and, addressing the Chief Justice, read the answer of the President entering his appearance and naming as his counsel Messrs. Stanbery, Curtis, Nelson, Black and Evarts, and asking as a reasonable length of time for the prepara tion of his defense the period of forty days, citing various cases in wiucn periods as long, In proportion to the magnitude of the case, had been granted. Mr. BINGHAM, on behalf of thelman- ogers, contended that the 8th rule provided, that on the appearance of the President he was required to file his answer, and in case his answer was not filed the trial should proceed as on a plea of not guilty. He claimed therefore the trial should proceed forthwith. Mr. CURTIS in reply referred to the case or Judge Humphries and others, and argued that the rule was susceptible of no such construction as that put on It by Mr. Bingham. Mr. NELSON followed, enlarging on the same views as Ills colleague. -Mr STANBRY expresssed greater surprise than he had before felt at this claim put forward by the managers, saying it seemed to be the disposition to hnrry through this momentous trial, as If It were a case before a police court. He argued from the wording of other rules that the appearance day was not intended to be the day for answering and trial day. He said two of the President's counsel were not present, and that no opportunity had been afforded for the preparation of the de!ense or the calling of witnesses, aud that in the worst days of the Star Chamber such an attempt to hurry through a trial had never been made. He spoke very warmly, saying there seemed to have been a trap set for the President and his counsel. At the conclusion of his remarks,Mr. IUTLEU asked to lc heard on behalf of the managers, and asked why railroad speed should not be used In this trial. He contended that the rules and precedents of ordinary courts were not applicable to this trial. In ordinary trials no dangers resulted from delay. In this case necessity for prompt action was pressing. The resondcnt at the bar controlled the power of the nation, and mlsht In a moment of passion, prejudice and wrong, use It for the injury and ruin of the country. The business of tho War Department would stop until the result of this trial was reached. The pulse of tho nation beats In perturbation while tho trial goes on. He claimed that an early day should be fixed for tho defendant's appearance, and If he then can show that ho has not had time to prepare, grant him tho indulgence of further time. We, on tho part of tho House of Representatives, which we are hero representing, ask that the rule adopted by the Senate for the government of this case may be enforced. It Is for tho Senate to decide whether this rulo shall bo sustained as a rule In (vnvurn the pohc. or whether It shall bo changed. Rut standing as a rule at this tlmo wo aK lor its oniorccmcut. Tho CHIEF JUSTICE said the motion would be argued for an hour, In accordance with tho rules, when , , , , , . Mr. HlNtillAM rose, and said ho had been greatly surprised at hearing the hasty words which had been dropped from the lips of his learned friend Stanbery, and asserted that tho only rule which the Sciiato had made was to prevent a dilatory line of defense. The CHIEF JUSTICE was about to put the question on Stanley's motion, when Mr.EDMUNDSoffered an order that April 1st bo the day appointed for tho fl Ingof tho n i. ami that within three days thereafter the Managers llle tho replica tion, and that on the oiu twj 1" mu trial shall proceed, On motion of Mr. MORTON, at 2 o'clock, the Senate retired for consultation. At 4:10 the Senate returned to their chamber and the Court reassembled. The CHIEF JUSTICE announced that the motion under consideration had been overruled and an order was entered that the President be required to file his answer on Monday the 23d of March. Mr. BINGHAM offered aa order that on the filing of Uie application by the Managers the trial proceed forthwith. The CHIEF JUSTICE submitted the order to the Senate, and on the anestion of Its adoption the yeas and nays were takeu, resultingyeas 25, nays 20, so the order was denied. Mr. NELSON, of the counsel, said he had come here expecting to hear no political discussion, and under the impression that the forms of the proceedings would be mirelv judicial in their character ; but like the Hon- oraDie imagers, he did not expect they would be strictly limited by the formal precedence of ordinary tribunals. He thought that liberality should be extended by this High Court to an unusual degree, and contended that the application of the defendant was one deservins of such treatment. He cited a rule of the courts of Tennessee which provides for the postponement of a trial to another term when the defendant has not had time to prepare his answer. He spoke of the great magnitude of this case, and argued the necessity of cautious deliberations and the Impropriety of railroad speed. He said the last two charges of the House of Representatives opened a ponder ous box which would necessitate a full in vestigation of all the points of difference between Congress and the President, and would make the trial almost interminable. Mr. CONKLING offered an amendment. that unless cause for delay be shown, the trial shall proceed immediately after the tiling of the replication. Mr. BINGHAM expressed the satisfaction of the managers with Mr. Conklln's amendment. He denied that the managers were desirous of Indecent haste, but said they did wish to avoid delay In this Important matter. The people demanded that there should be no delay iu the trial of the most flagrant betrayal of trust the world had seen. Ihe question was on Mr. Conklin's amend ment, and the vote resulted yeas 40, nays 10. The order as amended was then adopt ed without division. When, at 0:15, the court adjourned until the2Ud Inst. HOl'SE. After prayer by the Chaplain, Mr. FARNS- WORTH asked that the reading of the journal be dispensed with. Mr. LLDR1DGE objected, remarking that he understood a bill had been rushed through yesterday without proper knowledge of the House. He alluded to amending the Judiciary act, taking appellate powers from the Supreme Court Iu certain cases. Mr. KELLi presented the petition of six slaves of the late Geo. W. R. Curtis, setting forth that they labored on his Arlington estate, severally, from 35 to 59 years without wages, and had frequently been promised provision on the estate for their old age, and praying Congress to grant to each a homestead of 20 acres out of the estate which is now the property of the United States. Mr. MAiNAUO asked leave to offer the following resolution: Jiewved, That until otherwise ordered, the House, In Committee of the Whole, headed by their Chairman, will appear at the bar of the Senate pending the trial of Impeachment of the President of the United States, at the commencemeut of to-day's proceeding, and remain till the close and then return to the Hall. Mr. SPALDING objected. It was too Important a resolution to be now passed. Motion by Mr. KERR That during the trial tbe House meet for making speeches, but transact no legislative business. Objection was made" to Introduce such a proposition. By Mr. MAYNARD That the House attend the Senate dally during the trial of tho President In a body . One by Mr. DAWES To do so to-day. Agreed to. The Secretary of the Senate appeared at the bar of the House, and announced the Senate's consent on the amendments to the consular appropriation bill, and to ask for a committee of conference; also that the Senators were now ready to proceed with the-' trial, and that seats had been provlded"for the accommodation of the House. Mr. WASHBURNE; of Illinois, moved that the House now resolve itsclt into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, for the purpose of proceeding in a body to tho bar of the Senate. Agreed to. The SPEAKER appointed Mr. Washburne to preside. The members then formed in line, the Chairman supported by the Clerk, and the doorkeeper being at the head of tho procession, at fifteen minutes past niue they proceeded to the Senate chamber. The members returned at 2U minutes past 5 o'clock, when Mr. WASHBURNE, as Chairman of tho Committee of the Whole, reported that ac cording to an order of the House they hud attended the High Court of Impeachment, and accompanied by the Managers, and that tho Court, having received the rcspouse of the counsel of the accused, adjourned until the 23d Inst. House adjourned. MASSACHUSETTS. New Yoiik, March 13. J. L. Revnolds's woolen factory, at South Monson, Massachusetts, was destroyed by flro yesterday. Loss $30,000. Si'KiSdFiELD, March 13.
