The gold fight of last September is over, but it has left wreck and ruin behind it, not only in New York, but throughout the country. There is great depression in financial circles, and apprehension of impending evil seems to be on the increase. The failures in New York are numerous. The Times correspondent says that complaints r:ro made that the banks are using their resources to further stock speculations instead of helping the merchants. From 12 to 21 per Cent. interest is charged fcr mercantile discounts, while the brokers can get money on shaie collaterals for 6to 7 per cent. No merchant in any legitimate business can stand this " shave," and hence some houses prefer to suspend. Government bonds wero 124 in August last, but they have since fallen to 116—a striking proof of the effects of the gold panic in forcing down the prices of the best securities.

An investigation into the great " drawback " frauds, involving a question of nearly a million dollars, is going on at New York. The daring and unscrupulous manner in which the frauds were accomplished, the promi nent positions held by some of the culprits, and the revelations made by some of the arrested persons, have combined to render the affair full of interest. A man named Kour was examined last winter for alleged participation in the frauds, and was indicted by the jury. He afterwards made some striking disclosures, implicating several unsuspected persons, among them Mr. - Blatchford, a clerk at the Custom House. His statement was so clear and positive that the district attorney de -- mantled the documentary evidence from the Treasury at Washington, and these papers have arrived at New York. They consist of fraudulent drawback claims, by which the Government has been defrauded out of more than $700,000. Mr. Blatchford's initials are found on many of the export certificates which accompanied the claims, and the question of his guilt or innocence depends upon their genuineness. He had not when the account was written made his appeal-awe at hii oefice, and it has been resolved that he shall not resume his duties pending the inquiry. Theriott, another clerk in the Customs, is now on trial for complicity in the frauds, being admitted to bail for $lO,OOO. His only recompense from the conspira tors for the aid he gave them was, it is said, $250. The origin of the "drawback claims" was the law of 1802, im posing an internal revenue tax on articles manufactured, with a provision that if the articles were afterwards exported an amount should be paid to the exporter equal to the amount raid as tax. This was called a " drawback " and to have the claim recognised the exporter was required to procure a certificate of the amount of tax paid, an affidavit in regard to the goods for export, the name of the owner, &c. 'When the export was made, a reporter applied to the Drawback Department of the Custom-house for a certificate, and it was the duty of a clerk to make this out and attach his initials. The con spirators took a great deal of trouble in carrying out their systematic frauds, manufacturing certificates, affidavits, & - e., but it is evident that it was necessary to secure the collusion of Custom-house officials. Some of the claims put in were very daring, one of them for $9,000, and another for a cargo of steam cars, which, if they had really been exported, would have sunk the vessel described. A large quantity of hypothecated petroleum oil also played a conspicuous part among the claims. A lawyer named Freer, who acted as claim agent at Washing ton, has absconded with about $8),000. iroa rbt the the P ier or three he bea d' wroug ht „ h t iron screw ed led w ith n ereg e3 3 at the i s crove' found`" bea d o f eno" FARTRIDGE AND COOPER.

We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 48,413):—"R0me, July 21st, 1868. —The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du arry's Revalenta Arabica Food of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.

The directors draw special attention to tl►e fact that the next homy; valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, end that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to partic►pate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Firo Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary . and Secretary.

Rumours from Washington denote an appreacbing change in the Cabinet within a very short space of time. The Attorney General has decided to accept the vacant E eat in the Supreme Court, and is, it is said, actually arranging for the transfer. TILE NEW DOMINION. The Red River Indians have offered armed resistance to Governor 3l'Dou,gall, and opposed his entry into the new coleny of Wionepeg. This action has arisen from the hostility of the Indians to the Confedera tion, and its plans for territorial dominion. When Governor M`Dougall arrived ho found the road barricaded, but a short conference satisfied the mob that their demonstrations were uncalled for. The barricade was removed, and the Governor was escorted to his new dominions v.ith every mark of respect. It is reported that bands of Chippewas at Leret Lake are dissatisfied, and dis posed to make trouble. A NATAL EXPEDITION. Some curiosity has been excited in the United States by the departure of the frigate Albany from Now York with a full complement of officers and crew, under sealed orders. The Albany is a forty gun ship and had been put in commission, and provided with supplies by orders from the Navy Department, urging the utmost 'alacrity. ThiA fact was not of itself held to be specially remarkable, as the Americans aro always fond of hasty announcements, but it was esteemed not a little singular that she should have on board 1,000 tons of navy guns, ammunition, and small arms. Three gentle men went on board at the Jersey City De/IU, having arrived by train from Washington, and great enthusiasm was excited among Cuban partisans, as it was confidently believed that Cuba was the destination of the vessel. However, the Albany proceeded to the Tortugas, where she is to take on board nearly a regiment of infantry and a company of artillery. She will there be joined by several other vessels of war, and will go on to St. Domingo. The three gentle men who excited so much curiosity are the commissioners who are to take formal possession of the island in the name of the United States. THE CUBAN STEAMER LILIAN. The commander of the United States steamer, Tuscarora, at Key West, has informed the Navy Department at Washington of the final career of the Lilian. The steamer left Cedar Keys on October 5, and went into Nassau on the 16th, flying &Cuban flag. She landed 150 men and attempted. to get some coal, but the coal schooners were seized by the English gunboat Sterling, which also fired into the steamer. The Lilian, which had put to sea, returned to Nassau and was taken possession of by the English autho rities. She sank some twelve hours later—from what cause is not explained—and she now lies a wreck across the reef with her back broken. Most of her men were Cubans. THE INSURRECTION IN DALMATIA, A telegram addressed to the North-East Correspondence states that a strong body of troops has been concentrated in the district of Grahovo, in Montenegro, with suspicious intentions, and adds that the participation of the Monte negrins in the insurrection has been proved by the corpses of the insurgents killed in the recent combats. This news does not accord with tho formal protestations that the Prince of Montenegro has made to the Austrian Govern ment of Ma friendly intentions. Indifferent news has been received from the theatre of the war. The troops made no progress, and the last encounters, in spite of the protes tations of the officialipress, have not been successful ones. The Imperial forces sustained great losses in the march on Dragali. As for the insurrection itself, it cannot be said to diminish, and it is now believed that the southern part of the province (supposed to be conquered) is again in revolt. It is not unlikely that the Emperor of Austria and Count Beust will return from the East to find things still in a most unsettled state in Dalmatia. TILE DUCHY OF BRUNSWICK. The Prussian Minister of Commerce has been questioned in the Chamber of Deputies with respect to the sale of the Brunswick railways to a private society. The Prussian Government has a right to interfere in the matter, but the Minister requested the Chamber to suspend its judgment until ho had ascertained if the intel ests of Prussia would be affected. The Government of the Duchy has been in duced to make the sale of the railways in consequence of the embarrassed state of the finances, and the Brunswick Diet would most likely sanction the arrangement. The Brunsvfickers are believed to be the more anxious to turn their property to account as there has been some idea of the Duchy returning to the Prussian State. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15e. per 41 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 118.104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it sppeArs that gold at the above prioe is slightly dearer in Paris than in London.
