Naval and Military Intelligence. ber forfeited was 2,973, leaving the number paid up 11,240. He concluded by moving formal resolutions to the effect that the company be wound up volun tarily as from Dec. 13, 1866 ; and that the directors be appointed liquidators for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the company . and transferring its property to a new company, to be called " The Eng lish and Foreign Credit Company (Limited)," with a nominal capital of £300,000, in 20,000 shares of £l5 each; that the proposal be approved for the transfer of the business of the company, and that the liquidators be authorised to enter into arrange ments for this purpose either on the basis of the allotment of a share in the new company (with £7 10s. paid) for every share in this company, or upon such other terms as the liquidators and the new company might agree upon, with full powers to the liquidators. The steam yacht Rose Winans, better known as the " Cigar Ship," arrived in Chatham harbour late on Thursday afternoon, and took up moorings nearly abreast of the dockyard. She is to undergo repairs in her forward screw propeller, one of the blades of which has been broken. She was in spected yesterday by the leading officials belonging to the dockyard, and during the day a number of visitors were admitted on board, all of whom were allowed to inspect every portion of this unique vessel. It was stated on board yesterday that she will shortly leave for St. Petersburg, the Emperor of Russia having expressed a great desire to see her. The Himalaya, screw troopship, is coaling in the steam basin of Portsmouth dockyard, and will make a prelim:nary trial of her machinery in the course of a few days, on the completion of the re pairs and alterations mad e in her .engtne-room, before being reported ready for commission by her future captain--lhornas B. Lethbridge. The Wivern, 4, turret sloop, Captain Hugh S. Burgoyne, V.C., will make a trial of her machinery to-day in Stoke's-bay, near Portsmouth, before being reported ready for sea. A slight defectin one of her pump valves has detained her at Spithead. The War Department steam storeship Earl de Grey and Ripon, Commander Moore, having un shipped a heavy cargo of guns of different calibre at the gun wharf at Woolwich, to be re-sightel, from the Achilles, Ocean, the Excellent, and other ships at Devonport and Portsmouth, has reshipped a full cargo of various stores for Dublin and Cork. The cargo consists of 10in. and 51in. iron and brass mor tars, howitzers, and brass field guns, with their ne cessary equipment, Palliser shot and shell, &c., hos pital stores, and necessaries, 650 boxes of the Boxer ammunition for the breech-loading rifles, already despatched in a former ship, and a large number of empty arm-chests for packing the old pattern rifles which have been recalled and replaced by the Snider breechloaders. The Earl de Grey and Ripon yesterday hauled alongside the powder buoy off theßoyalArsenal at Woolwich, and will fill in her magazines this morning, of ter which she will go down the river, pro ceeding towards her destination during the afternoon. The following regiments are expected at Alder shot Camp early in the year 1867:—The 70th and the 44th, from Dover; the 43d, the 40th, and the 68th from Portsmouth ; and the 80th from Devon port. Five regiments now on passage from India and New Zealand will be stationed at the above garrison on their arrival home. The large plant of machinery erected a few months ago in the Royal Laboratory department of Wool wich Arsenal for the manufacture of the new Boxer ball cartridge has remained idle for some weeks past to admit of the introduction of an important and necessary alteration in the copper cartridge case, suggested by Col. Boxer. During the cessation of machinery work the.improved cartridges have been made solely by hand, and the supply has been neces sarily small. The machinery has now been altered, and several new pieces from Messrs. Greenwood and Batley, and other firms, of Leeds and elsewhere, have been added, and are in full work. A consider able number of additional hands has been taken on in the department, and as the present demand is more than ordinarily pressing, the number of boys and girls employed specially in cartridge making has been increased this week to upwards of 1,000. Re lays are kept up,so that the work is continued night and day, the average earning of the children being Bs, or 9s. per week each. The mechanics and labourers throughout the de _ partments of Woolwich Arsenal yesterdaycommenced working overtime, with the intention of making up the 20 hours which are to be granted them at Christ mas time, in order that the holidays may include the Monday and Wednesday before and after Christ mas day. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty:-IV. G. N. Burney, paymaster, to the Alert ; S. S. C. Hill, assist.-paymaster, to the Cumberland; Dr. Jas. E. Saunderson, actin g-assist.- surg,., to the Bristol, as supernumerary ; and A. 11. Sherris, clerk, to the Urgent. The motion having been seconded, a long discus sion ensued, in which Mr. Collier, Mr. F. Mowatt, Mr. Whitrow, Mr. Harrison, and Mr: Davidson took part, in the course of which it was contended by Mr. Whitrow and other shareholders that the no minal amount of the share ought to be reduced to £lo,and by Mr. Mowatt and other shareholders that, under the circumstances, £l5 per share was the pro per amount. The CHAIRMAN having replied to the various ob servations, and explained that the nominal amount of £l5 could not be reduced, Mr. Whitrow with drew his amendment, and the resolutions proposed by the chairman were unanimously adopted. It was stated that the new company would be re gistered in a few days, that a copy of the articles of association could be obtained at the office, and that at the next general meeting of the company reolu tions would be submitted for confirmation. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. State of Trade. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BtiCKFASTLEIGH, TOTNES, AND SOUTH DEVON. The directors met a large number of the inhabit ants of Ashburton at a public meeting on Tuesday, for the purpose of explaining the position of the company, and of stating their intention with respect to the proposed branch line to Ashburton. Mr. BOWDEN said the works had been commenced between Buckfastleigh and Ashburton, to show that the company had really taken the matter in hand, and intended to fulfil their promise. More than £3,000 had already been expended on the scheme, and he trusted the full amount required would now be raised without delay. A resolution was passed to the effect that the meeting was satisfied the intention of the directors was to carry out the line, and a committee was formed to canvass the district for support. MANCHESTER, Dec 14.—The market for shipping yarns has been rather easier, and the activity which prevailed earlier in the week has disappeared. To make sales, in most descriptions of yarns rather lower prices would have to be taken. There is an exception in 16's to 21's water-twist, which is in pretty good demand and well under contract. This branch of the market closes tamely. In home-trade yarns we have had a steady market, but with rather less business than on Tuesday. The advance which was then asked has rather tended to check business, and this check appears to have been more and more felt as the week has gone on. Sellers are not mak ing much change in their quotations, but, practi cally, they are reduced as compared with the rates obtained earlier in the week. Spinners are not badly off for orders, and consequently there is not much pressure to sell. Cloth was quieter yesterday, but there is rather more inquiry this afternoon, with a moderate business. Manufacturers are asking full prices, and there is quite as much firmness as on Tuesday. BARNSLEY, 14th.—The iron trade in South York shire continues depressed, without any sign of im provement ; but as orders for immediate delivery are being constantly received it is inferred that stocks on hand are very low, so that orders will shortly come to hand more freely as greater confi dence is infused into the minds of buyers. There is a fair trade in hoop, bar, and sheet iron, but the demand is not so great as heretofore, the require ments of the trade being limited. Makers of rail way material are tolerably busy, although the orders on home account and from Indian houses are not so large as usual. At Melton the men have got fairly to work again, the strike against the employment of the boys who help the puddlers to clean the grates of the furnaces having been amicably arranged by the men acceding to the demand of their employers. The puddlers engaged at the large ironworks in Sheffield are out on strike, although a dispute be tween them and their employers was only settled a few weeks ago. The present dispute is with regard to the payment for changing the heat on a certain class of work, the men requiring an addi'ion of about Id. per head, which the masters refuse to give. For this trifling matter the men cause plant and machinery of the value of £2,000,000 to lie idle, and stop the receipt of wages amounting to £2,000 weekly. Armour plates are languid, and with the exception of a few orders on Government ac count there is very little doing. The machine and casting establishments are busy, and full work with them is the rule, the various collieries sending in plenty of orders. The steel trade is still active, and the large houses are well off for orders, while those on American account are being completed as fast as possible in anticipation of the new tariff bill. Manu facturers by the Bessemer process are doing a very good trade, and at some of the works the men are working night and day to meet the demand. The coal trade is very active, and orders on home account and for export for all descriptions are being con stantly received. There has been a lull in the trade this week, and during the latter part of the week nearly every colliery in the district has been stand ing, owing to the excitement that prevails consequent on the explosion at the Oaks Colliery. It is now certain that not less t han 320 lives have been lost, as there cannot now be any living creature in the mine. The Great Western and Great Eastern lines are taking a heavy tonnage of the best house coal to London and Peterborough, and the former company are making extensive additions to their coal yard at Doncaster. There is no alteration in the coal trade worthy of note, and orders are very limited. ENGLISII AND FOREIGN CREDIT (LIMITED). An extraordinary general meeting of this company I was held on Thursday at the m o ce, Winchester buildings, Great Winchester-street; 11Ir. G. She ward in the chair. Mr. D. S. Derry , t he secretar y , havin g read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said the directors had p rom i sed the shareholders that they would endeavour at the earliest opportunity, either in Parliament or other wise, to reduce the liability of the shareholders. It was in accordance with that pledge that they had brought the matter forward before the next general meeting of the company. By the new proposition the existing liability of £42 10s. per share would be reduced to one of £7 10s. per share, and the nominal amount of each share would be reduced from £5O to £l5 per share. The existing articles of association would be very slightly changed for the purpose of preserving the name of the company. They had in the articles of association for the new company adhered as nearly as possible to the original articles of association. The object of the directors was to carry out the expressed wish of the shareholders in the matter of reducing their liability. There would be an alteration in the first article which would enalA the company to have a lien on the shares of a customer, so that in case of defata they might be able to sell his shares with a view to protect the interests of the company, and in satis faction of any debt a shareholder might owe the company, giving in such cases power to the direc tors to transfer such shares to the purchaser, and to decline to authorise the transfer of shares belonging to any shareholder who might be indebted to the company. He explained that they had not in any case accepted the shares of any shareholder as secu rity, nor would they ; but they thought it might be expedient to have that power when dealing with shareholders, to prevent loss as much as possible. Clause 2.5 in the old articles gave the directors power to increase the capital of the company without ask ing permission of the shareholders; but in the articles of the new company it was provided that t he capital should not be increased without the con sent of a general meeting of shareholders. (Hear.) In clause 5G of the old articles, it was provided that the number - of directors should not be more than ten nor less than -five ; but in the same clause in the articles of th e new company woultl be provided that the number of directors the . should not exceed seven nor be less than fiv e ; that qualification of a di rector should be £1,500, being 100 shares of £l5 each, instead of £2,000 in the present company. In the articles of the new company, the remunerati on of the directors would be limited t0£3,000 a year. If those propositi ons the directors . If they would carry them out, and if not they would rem a i n as they were. Ile understood that Mr. Whitrow intended to move an amendment to the effect that the shares be reduced to £lO each, upon which 103. was pail, leaving £2 10s. to call up. The mat ter had had the careful consideration of the directors and some of the largest shareholders ; £2O was pro posed for the nominal amount of the share by some, while others proposed that it should be £lO, but at length it was fixed as now proposed at £l:5 per share, to which their customers had assented. In reply to Mr. F. Ilowatt he stated that the number of shares originally subscribed for was 14,213, and the num- TliE SUN, LOisIDO.N, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15 , 1866. North, through Baltimore, as at present arranged, is a very tedious operation, and is the cause of much complaint. A project is on foot for the purchase of the steamer by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, to be used in transferring the trains from Locust Point to Canton, thus avoiding the vexa tious delay attendant upon the passage through Baltimore by horse-power. It is proposed by the arrangement to disconnect the through cars at the Locust Point junction—running them down to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company's ex tensive wharves at the Point, and transferring them to the Canton side, which would take but a short time ; thence striking the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad, which is within a few feet of the wharf. Preparations for carrying out this most excellent arrangement are already on foot, and will, doubtless, in a short time, be completed. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company are also en gaged in erecting an immense wharf with ware houses at Locust Point to accommodate the trade of the Baltimore and Liverpool line of steamers, which improvements, together with the newly proposed " transfer" arrangement, will render Locust Point quite an important locality hereafter. It has been decided in the courts in New York that whether a man is "coloured" or white is a ques tion of fact, which must be submitted to a jury. Juries, however, at common law have always been in the habit of deciding by hearing testimony. A verdict based on ocular inspection only would be a new thing, though we do not well see what objec tion can be urged to it. The curious spectacle will be witnessed in a few days in this city therefore of twelve adult men—all, no doubt, with business to attend to—examining the hair of an apparently white man to see whether it is too curly to allow of his sharing in the government of a Democratic Re public. We believe there is no charge for admission. General Butler lectured on Saturday evening, at Brooklyn, to a large audience, and without the smallest interruption. The lecture was, as usual, telling, and bristled with points. He was, we were glad to see, very emphatic in his declaration that education ought to accompany the ballot, and that the franchise in the hands of ignorant men was like a Club in the hands of a blind Samson. Th 3 dis course was, however, chiefly directed to the ques tion of impeachment. He simply fortified the positions with which the public is already familiar, showing by several precedents that improper language would of itself form a goo:1 ground for impeachment. But on the most import ant point of all, the expediency of impeaching the President, he said little or nothing. The higher the position of a functionary, the greater the deli cacy and difficulty of bringing him to trial. What would 13;3 a good case against a judge might be a very poor case against the President ; and the case against Mr. Johnson is rendered all the harder to deal with by the fact that two-fifths of the people of the United States highly approve of his conduct. A trial for the use of bad language would, under such circumstances, be either a farce or a revolution ; and unless the public and Congress are much less sensible than we take them to be, General Butler's and Wendell Phillips's elaborate indictments will simply prove fine pieces of rhetoric. It would be hard just now to turn Mr. Johnson to worse account than to impeach him. The following are from the summary of that able journal, the Springfield Republican, of the Ist De cember :—" The proposed meeting at Washington to welcome Congress has been purged of its offen sive features, and is likely to be a pleasant affair, though the managers find it difficult to interest prominent Congressmen in it. General Logan and several others declined to preside, and the managers now hope to secure ex-Vice-President Hamlin. Gen. Butler, Colonel Hamilton of Texas, Frederick Dougltss, and other speakers of note and notoriety, have been invited, but no announcement is made as yet of any who have accepted. The affair comes off this evening, and will doubtless have a large local attendance, if the ' boys in blae' from a dis tance do not think it worth while to be present." Senator Sumner, Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, and some other Congressmen, have been at Wash ington for several days, but most of the members have preferred to eat their Thanksgiving turkeys with their families at home. There has been sonic canvassing in a small way, but the policy of Con gress will probably be allowed to develope itself naturally this time, and what it may do upon any subject it is vain to attempt to predict. Threats of impeaching the President have been for the most part withdrawn by those who made them on the stump, and Butler alone keeps it up, for bunkum, as he privately confesses. There will be an attempt made to pass the Tariff Bill that failed at the last session, but it cannot go through without extensive modification and a severe Struggle over it. Measures will doubtless be introduced to limit the President's power of ap pointment and removal, and to deprive him of the power of pardon previous to the conviction of the offender. There are occasional appointments of new postmasters and revenue officers, but aspirants are disappointed in the expectation of a general sweep. General Dix sailed from New York on Saturday last to relieve Mr. Bigelow as Minister to Paris, and Major Wickham Hoffman, of New York, will take the place of Secretary of Legation, resigned by John Hay. General Dix is likely to find important and difficult negotiations as to Mexican matters upon his hands immediately on his arrival out. Secretary Seward finds it necessary to use the Atlantic cable freely in his correspondence with Mr. Bigelow, having sent one day a message of five thousand words, at a cost of near $19,000 in cur rency, which indicates some important matter in issue. Spangler, the assassination conspirator, sentenced to six years at the Dry Tortugas, hopes for a pardon. His friends are working to that end. The first passenger train passed over the bridge across the Susquehanna River, Nov. 26. For many years the traveller has had to submit to the tedium of crossing the river by boat at Havre-de-Grace, Maryland, on his way to Baltimore and Washing ton. At nine on this day a train, consisting of new and improved passenger cars, left Broad and Prime streets, Philadelphia, for Havre-de-Grace, Mary land. Among those on the train from Philadelphia were the following well-known citizens :—John Rice, Esq. ; Albert W. Markley, Esq., of the Cam den and Amboy and West Jersey Railroad Com panies ; William Sellers, Esq., M. W. Baird, Esq., Walter Freeman, - Esq., Isaac Hinckley, Esq., Pre sident of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Balti more Railroad; George H. Huddell, Esq., of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad ; J. G. Parker, Chief Engineer ; Charles K. Ide, Esq., Master of Transportation ; 11. A. Kenney, Esq., Superintendent of the Road ; Samuel M. Felton, Esq., ex-President of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad, who joined the party at Thurlow Station ; Colonel John Bing ham of Adams's Express Company ; Hon. Isaac Hazlehurst, solicitor of the road ; Thomas F. Fer non, Esq., of the United States Mining Journal. At Chester several prominent citizens, and directors came into the train. While at Wilmington new accessions were made, among them Professor Por ter, of Newark, Delaware, Messrs. Curtis and Wm. T. Crossdale, Esq., of the Wilmington Daily Coin. mercial. Accompanying the Philadelphians was Hon. Nathaniel Taylor, of Boston, Mass., a gentle man noted for his wealth and public spirit. Th 6 run down to Havre-de-Grace was a most delightful one, and on arriving there the Northerners met their Southern friends from Baltimore and Wash ington in most fraternal fellowship. The reunion was of a happy nature, and but one feeling seemed to predominate, that of hearty union and goodwill toward one another. Among the Baltimoreans were the following prominent citizensl—William Prescott Smith, Esq., formerly master of transpor tation on the Baltimore and Ohio RailKoad, and now Collector of Internal Revenue at Baltimore ; C. C. Fulton, Esq., of the Baltimore American ; Captain M. M. Falls, President of the Chesapeake Bay line of steamers ; Albert Shoemaker, Esq.; C. O'Donnell, Esq. ; B. Deford, Esq. ; W. - Woodside, Esq., of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; G.

The troops were formed in line, the artillery on the right in the direction of the Magazine, the cavalry on the left, the infantry forming the centre. About 11 o'clock the Viceregal party, accompanied by Lord Stratlinairn and :llajor-Gen. Cunynghame, and attended by a brilliant staff, arrived from the Viceregal Lodge. 'The Marchioness of Abercorn and the Ladies Hamilton were seated in an open car riage drawn by six horses magnificently caparisoned. The streets of Dublin during the day presented the usual appearance. There was no sign of military preparation and defence like what met the eye at every turn in 1848. I was assured by one of the largest employers in the city that no one left his work, nor was any one less eager to obtain it this week than at any other time. There was• nothing in the manner of the men to indicate a revolution, that the capitalists were about to be killed off, and their property divided among the workers, or any thing of that kind. The Farmers' Club, in connexion with the Royal Agricultural Society for Ireland, had their annual dinner yesterday evening at the Club-house, Sack ville-street. Lord Talbot de Malahide presided, supported by the Lord Mayor, Mr. J. Pim, M.P., Mr. M'Farlane, J.P., Mr. Barrington, D.L., Capt. Thornhill, and others. Afte r th e R o y a l t oas t s h a d ' Been given and received with warm demonstrations, Major Knox and Capt. Wynne returned thanks for "the Army and Navy."

It embraced all classes and creeds, excluding political and religious discus sions, and there never was a word of unpleasantness among its members. This was gratifying at a time when the members might be called upon not only to defend the liberties of the country, but to fight for their own fireside. The Hon. King Harman re sponded, and bore testimony to the harmony that had always existed among the members. The " health of the Lord Mayor" was proposed by the chairman in very complimentary terms, and most warmly received. l n responding he said that, although unhappy men for their own selfish pur poses had troubled the country, its trade and com merce were in a prosperous state, and would, when this excitement was over, resume the rate of pro gress they had maintained for the last ten years. The Lord Mayor then proposed " the Health of Lord Talbot, the President," as a resident noble man, distinguished for his scientific attainments, President of the Royal Irish Academy and the Royal Agricultural Society for Ireland. The toast was re ceived with protracted applause. In responding, his lordship said that he had endeavoured to do his duty. No one was justified in leading an idle and useless life. There are countries in which there are more social enjoyments and more intellectual advan tages, with less strain upon the energies. Those who have families in delicate health may have to make sacrifices in remaining in Ireland, especially in times of trouble. But in such times every true Irish man should be at his post. Timorous persons might dispose of their property, go abroad, and leave the country to its fate ; but his family had been con nected with the country for 700 years, and he would not abandon his position in it. The people among whom he lived would, he believed, lay down their lives for him ; but, whether they would or not, he, for one, would not leave the country, but, what ever happened, would stake his life on the result. (Great applause.) Mr. Pim, M.P., Capt. Wynne, and others subsequently addressed the company. No more Fenian arrests. The alarm is rapidly subsiding.

MISCELLANEOUS AMERICAN NEWS. On the 3d instant the route of the overland mail between New York and California was changed so as to go by way of Chicago instead of St. Louis, saving about four days in its transit from New York across the North Fork of the Platte river. To effect this the routes selected for its carriage are by way of Allentown and Pittsburgh to Chicago ; from there by way of the Cedar Rapids and Clinton line of the North-western Railroad, to Woodbine, thence by stage to Council Bluffs, crossing the Missouri river there to Omalia, and taking the Union Pacific Railroad to its present terminus. The only break in the railroad communication in this line is the short gap between Woodbine and Council Bluffs a dis tance of thirty-five miles ; but the Cedar Rapids and Council Bluffs Railroad is already completed five miles beyond Woodbine, and by the fimt of January will be finished to Council Bluffs. We were confident that Mr. Gilead A. Smith would soon make his presence felt in the business he had opened at 15, Langbam-place, London. If broad views and energetic action, aided by capital and an extensive connexion, could command suc cess for large measures, in his hands that success was secure. We transfer to our columns an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer, which will give an idea of the operations in which that gentleman is engaged. The President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in America, and Mr. Gilead A. Smith, its agent in England, are completing a scheme which will add another great line of steamers to the many now plying between Europe and the United States. Philadelphia is the city to and from which the steamers of the new line will sail ; but we are not sure that Bristol, on this side, would not be a better destination than Liverpool for these vessels. If to the powerful aid of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany was added that of the Great Western of Eng land, however extensive the operations aimed at, there could be little doubt of the ability to carry them out. Both ports, however, between which these vessels are to ply, must have been carefully selected, and for sound reasons, by the projectors of the line, and the public will be satisfied in the knowledge that their interests in this matter have been confided to good hands. By news from New York we hear that a new postal arrangement with England is reported, by which the postage on letters is to be reduced one half and prepayment made compulsory, each Go vernment to retain the amount of postage collected. How such an arrangement can be entered into by the United States Government without Act of Con gress is not stated —probably the plan is yet in contemplation. The United States Government is taking mea sures to suppress the coolie trade, which has lately threatened to assume alarming proportions. Capt. Collins, commander of the United States ship Sacramento, has sailed for China with instruc tions to investigate the matter, and report to the Secretary of State. Petroleum is to be represented at the " Paris Exposition of 1867." Mr. J. T. Briggs, of Titus ville, has been appointed by Governor Curtin a Commissioner to Paris for this purpose. Mr. Briggs desires to obtain specimens of crude oil of every de gree of density produced, from all the oil-producing districts of the United States, each sample to be a fair specimen, and to be properly labelled with the locality of the well, and the conditions in which the oil was found, depth of boring, and other important facts. Samples of refined oil from every refinery are also desired, together with samples of all the different products of petroleum manufactured in the United States. The sample of crude and re fined petroleum should be of about a quart each. Due notice will be given of the place where those samples should be sent, with such detailed instruc tions as may be required. In the meantime the samples should be got ready, as there is but little time to spare. Petroleum is to be used as a steamboat fuel. A company has been organised in Memphis, Tennes see, which is building a boat of not less than fifty horse power, that will save one-third of the space devoted to fuel, while its lightness will greatly lessen the draught of the vesssel. A railroad, having the shape of a spiral, or rather of a cork screw, has been built, circling around the taterraces,ke immensen do iron deposits of the South Mountain, in the Lebanon Valley, Pennsyl van i a .

If these deposits are as extensive and valuable as stated, why should not the iron manufacturers of Pittsburgh go to the Lebanon region for the ore that they now b r i ng i n h lnaorngre eq g uantities, and at such great expense, s from the iron regions of Missouri. The Philadelphia Inquii-er informs us that there are in Chicago seven counts, two marquises, one who would have been a duke, and a baker's dozen of German barons. The latter are not counted in " our set" by the others, as barons in Germany are common as " colonelcies" in Virginia, or unfounded military titles in America. Out of the former ex noblemen there are several whose history would be interesting, and whose lives have in them more ro mance than is generally vested in the hero of a first-class novel. Hungary and Poland were their homes. Austrian, Russian, and combined Euro pean tyranny are responsible for their present position. Since the completion of the Susquehanna Railroad bridge at Hav - re de Grace, the steamer Maryland, the immense ferryboat, has been rendered useless at that point, but will in all probability be transferred to Baltimore for service. The transfer of through Passenger from Washington and the West bound rectors of the road, resident in Baltimore, together with William Callow, President of the Bankers' and Brokers' Telegraph Company; William Ni cholls, Esq., of the Baltimore City Councils, and J. T. Crow, of the Sun. At Havre-de-Grace the train was run on board the staunch Maryland, that brave old boat which has done the company and the community such excellent service during the past thirteen or fourteen years, and the invited guests enjoyed the pleasure of a southern view of the bridge from her capacious decks, as she steamed slowly across the river and within a few hundred yards of the structure. There was but one expres sion of opinion as to the apparent merits of the bridge, and that was, that it fully met, so far as the spectators were able to judge at a distance, the object of its constructors. The test was yet to come, and it was not long delayed. Return ing to the eastern shore the train was run ashore, and in a short time it was moving steadily and grandly up the grade to the bridge. At the en trance was a magnificent arch festooned with ever greens, and surrounded with laurels was the in scription, " Four years work of a thousand men," together with the motto, " Labour omnia viucit." Brevet Major• General George W. Cullum, of the Corps of Engineers, and late Superintendent of the United States Military Academy, has been detailed as a member of the Board to consider the subject of the modifications of the existing seacoast forti fications of the United States. Gen. Cullum will be stationed in Washington. 'The first annual ball of the Fenian Sisterhood of New York, in aid of the Fenian cause, was given in the City Assembly Rooms last night, 22d ultimo. Owing to the damp and unpleasant nature of the night there was but a moderate attendance. The music stand was adorned with the Irish and American banners intertwined, and by the colours of the 99th and 170th Regiments, beneath which hung an elegant and life-like portrait of Mr. Jas. Stephens. Shortly before 10 o'clock a lively air was struck up by Manahan's band, and dancing com menced, which continued until 12 o'clock, when the participants sat down to an elegant supper. After supper a dance was given in imitation of an ancient Fenian war dance. Five couples, attired in the national dress of the old time, took their places in the centre of the ball, and, brandishing daggers iu their hands, began to dance a lively Irish jig around four persons in the centre representing captives. Their movements were heightened by gestures ex pressive of rage, and the fate supposed to be in store for the unhappy captives in the centre. The an cient Fenian war dance bears a singular resem blance to the war dance of the American Indians, and, as a novelty, was received with immense ap plause. The following notification appeared apparently by authority in the National Republican on the 22d November :—" The President is necessarily en gaged upon important public matters preparatory to the early assembling of Congress, and will have no time, until after the meeting of that body, to give the slightest attention to applicants for office. All such are referred to the heads of the different de partments. Office seekers and their friends can save themselves much time, labour, and expense by act ing on the above hint, and willrelieve the President from the unpleasant necessity of declining to enter tain and examine their applications. It is a physical impossibility for him to prepare his Message, and at, the same time transact the detail business appro priatelybelonging to his Cabinet Ministers." The President has appointed Edward Uhl, of New York, United States Consul at Guatemala. General B. S. Alexander, so long in command of the de fences of Washington, will soon leave for Cali fornia to superintend the construction of the de fences of San Francisco. The following items of appropriations have just been officially compiled from the Acts passed at the last session of Congress : Pensions ... 517,910,000.00 Deficiencies for sundry civil expenses ... 00451146 Naval service, for the year ending June 30, 1867 18,901,667.5 C Post-office department., for the year ending June 30, 1867 ... 19,679,500.00 Military Academy, for the year ending June 30, 1867 ...I 301,457.00 Fortifications and other works of defence... 1,510,000.00 Completion of public works... ... 3,698,017.91 Army, for the year ending June 30, 1867 38,004.241-83 Legislative, executi.re, and judicial expenses 25,430,459.89 Consular and diplomatic expenses ... 1,405,494.00 Indian department ... ... 3,778,53345 Sundries, civil expenses for the year ending June 30, 18G7 Deficiencies, for the year ending- June 30, -- 1867 ... 515,100.76 Miscellaneous... 12,705,635-60 X 7,074,126.76 Total ... ...$155,881,781.16 The Montrose Independent Republican gives the following information on Glove Making in America : —The principal scat of glove making is in Fulton county, New York, where a flourishing village has sprung up with the appropriate name of Glovers ville. This village makes a specialty of the work, but there are also large manufactories in adjoin ing towns, as well as in Philadelphia and other loca lities in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, anc: Massachu setts. These gloves are of various kinds, mostly made from deer, goat, and sheep skins, the deer skins from South America and our own western ter ritories, the goat skins from South America, the West Indies, Mexico, and the Sandwich Islands, and the sheep skins from England and the Cape of Good Hope. The skin of the English sheep is finer and more durable than the American, but the species known as the Cape sheep has a skin of a fibre so fine and elastic as closely to resemble kid, and cap able of rivalling that elegant article, for which it is often sold. The United States Consul at Buenos Ayres has sent his Government a copy of the laws of the Ar gentine Republic, authorising the National Execu tive to remit Treasury bills to the amount of four million hard dollars, with interest at three-fourths per cent. per month. For the payment and emorti sation of the interest an additional impost of 5 per cent. is put on all imports excepting such articles as are comprised in Article 3 of the present Custom house law, and 2 per cent. on all exports. The Treasury bills are t.) be received in payment at all the Custom-houses in the Republic. The President has appointed Samuel B. Shafer, of Maryland, Principal Clerk of Public Lands in the General Land Office, and James J. Hackett De puty Postmaster at Frankfort, Kentucky. Andrew M'Callum, a sugar planter, of Louisiana, who went to Brazil with a view to emigration, has returned, and pronounces against it as unsuitable and less favourable to the Southerners than their own country. In the Pacific provinces of British North Ame rica a strong tendency shows itself toward union with the United States. At a recent meeting in Victoria, which is stated to have been the largest ever held in that city, and to have been attended by one-third of the male population, resolutions in favour of annexation were proposed by a member of the Colonial Assembly, and carried by a majority of ten to one. The people of the colony are satisfied that the great resources of their country will not be developed until they form part of the American Union. An important consultation was held at the White House, November 15th, between the Presi dent, the Cabinet, and Chief Justice Chase. It is believed that a leading topic under consideration was the reconstruction plan now proposed by many leading men of all parties, by which a general am • nesty shall be offered to the South on their accept ance of universal suffrage with a property or intel ligence qualification. Prominent Southern men are co-operating with Republicans and Democrats in this effort. The recent Council of American bishops at Balti more has applied to the Pope to bestow a cardinal's hat on a native of the United States. The request has greatly embarrassed the Holy Father, as most of the American archbishops, and even the bishops, are Irish or French, and Monsignor Spalding, Archbishop of Baltimore, is himself an Irishman. It is thus difficult to find in America a native qua lified to hold the cardinalate, which is habitually given only to archbishops. At a public meeting in the Church of the Epi phany, at the corner of Fifteenth and Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, by the Liberian Church Com inittee '(Episcopal), the Liberian Bishop Payne stated the somewhat singular fact that the President, Vice-President, Secretary of State, and Attorney- General of the Republic of Liberia are all Presby terian ministers. The reason given is, that the great want of educated men compels ministers to take part in the Government. For the same reason a considerable portion of the same class are obliged to lend their services to the mercantile enterprises of the country. The Bishop represented this state of things as a very undesirable one, and urged the adoption of-a plan which might free the clergy of his own Church from the entanglements of civil and secular vocations. Seven- men were captured on Saturday night, November 7, near Michellsville, Tennessee, by a band of detectives of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, acting with the United States Cavalry stationed there, and lodged in the military prison of this city. They are supposed to be connected with the recent robbery of the pay train. The Governors of the Southern States seem to be unanimous in opposing the Constitutional Amend ment. Those of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida, have recently followed the example of the Governors of Mississippi and Texas, and advised the Legislatures of their States to reject it. In Georgia the amendment was, accordingly, rejected by a unanimous vote in the Senate, and by all save two votes in the Assembly. The Legislature of Georgia proposes to secure native teachers, by providing that every Georgia soldier, under thirty years of age, maimed in the service, may be educated at the State University at the public expense for such length of time, as he will give his obligation to teach, after leaving the University. The Berthold Pass, by which the Pacific Railroad is to cross the Rocky Mountains, is, according to two different surveys, from 10,903 to 11,375 feet above the level of the sea. THE CIIICAGO TUNNEL.—The people of Chicago are very justly elated at the thought that their great tunnel beneath the waters of Lake Michigan is completed. The work was a peculiar one, and abounding with difficulties. To carry an excava tion successfully beneath the bed of a lake, with the water rolling above, would seem to many an im possibility. The weight of the water being im mense it would have been thought that the pressure would break through the excavation and drown all that were engaged in the work. Fortunately the skill, science, and daring of the engineers has been equal to the task, and they have now the satisfaction of having their job completed triumphantly without disaster. It is to be hoped that the enterprise will be crowned with the success which has been sought for. It has been calculated that at the point where the tunnel commences, two mileS from the shore, the water is now pure and will always remain so. We presume that in reach ing this conclusion the natural currents of the lake have been studied, and that every pre caution has been taken which can add to the benefit of the undertaking. Yet there is the risk that future settlements on the shore will have the effect of throwing impurities into the water, which will eventually reach the mouth of the tunnel. At all events, the Chicagoites believe that they are safe from the dread of drinking impure water for a cen tury at least, and if posterity finds the tunnel no longer useful, posterity can take care of itself, and build another tunnel 20 miles out in the lake. The report of the Provost Marshal-General shows that 280,709 officers and men lost their lives in the war ; 5,221 were commissioned officers, and 90,886 enlisted men were killed or died of wound§, and 2,321 commissioned officers and 182,329 enlisted men died of disease. COMMERCIAL. NEW Youx, Saturday Evening, Dec. 1. The excitement in Wall-street last week reached a high point; and, I can assure you, uncommonly long faces were met in the neighbourhood. There must have been some epidemic about., for the fl►ght seemed to seize alike on " bulls" and " boars," and the " bulls," by a rapid trans formation, became sheep, and went off with the panic stricken flock. They have now brought up and turned back, and those who were " bulls" are again becoming " bulls." The panic is attributed to various causes, pro minent among which was the demands said to have been made by the Secretary of the Treasury upon the National Banks for the Government funds deposited with them. Mr. M'Culloch denies that ho drew to a suffieient extent to cause even a momentary pink, and attributes it to other and more obvious reasons. Money has again become easy, the prevailing rate being 6 par cent., and in Government Securities any amount can be got at 5. A con siderable fall has taken place at Boston. Last week 7 per cent. was the rate, while this week 5 only can be obtained on first-class securities. There has been much fluctuation during the week in stocks and shares. So many have been frightened that they sell on every rise, and thus check any tendency to buoyancy. Lower prices aro not looked for, but neither, on the other hand, is there much hope that the prices of a month ago can be recovered. New York Central Railroad is excep tionally firm, owing to the rumour of an extra dividend to be declared before the annual election. The American express interest will endeavour to secure enough of the stock to influence the election and turn out the present board of directors. Numerous reforms are promised in case they succeed. Gold has also fluctuated more than usual ; the extremes of the week were from 147 to 144. I cannot help thinking that the price must sett:e down as gold continues to accumulate in the hands of the Govern ment, and the volume of currency is constantly decreas ing. The exports to Europe by the Saturday steamers were $697,000, and on Wednesday $250,000. Eighty-eight million dollars are in the Treasury, besides twenty-two millions gold certificates. The commissioner of the re venue estimated the receipts from imports for the present fiscal year at $175,000,000, but they will fall short of that sum. The decrease since the recent stagnation in trade has been very mai'ked. The receipts at the five principal ports, for the last week reported, were $2,740,821, a dimi nution, as compared with the previous week, of nearly half a million of dollars at New York, and of over $lOO,OOO at Boston. The entire revenue for the present fiscal year will be about $470,000,000, which could with safety bo reduced to $350,000,000, but not without stopping the large reduction in the public debt which we are now making. It is expected that twenty millions more of that " national blessing" will be sliced off this month. The disbursements of the treasury last week, on account of the war, navy, and interior departments, were respectively $2,781,983, $2,717,988, and slo7,42l.—National bank notes were issued last week to the amount of $1,134,010, and for security for the entire circulation, now closely approach ing the limited $300,000,000, the Government holds United States bonds amounting to $310,338,650. The amount of fractional currency received from the printing bureau, last week, was $191,500, shipped to assistant treasurer and national banks $121,615, redeemed $185,200. —All con versions of seven-thirties after December 1 will be made into five-twenties bearing interest from January 1, 1867, and persons transmitting seven-thirtiei for that purpose should adjust the interest to that date. (From E. F'. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, December 12.) It is a matter of surprise to us that investors seeking a good rate of interest, with at same time ample security for their capital, should not turn their attention more to such descriptions of American Government and railroad securi ties as combine both of these advantages. The integrity with which obligations in the Northern States were met during the war should, we think, be accepted as an earnest for the future by all reflecting persons. There can be no doubt that the security offered by the mortgage bonds of some of the leading railroads in the United States is quite equal iu point of safety to similar securities on our best English lines, and it is difficult to understand why the price, especially of those payable in sterling, should re main so low. Take, for instance, the Pennsylvania Rail road Second Mortgage Six per Cent. Bends. They are, in every respect—Sterling Bonds, and, therefore, exempt from depreciation, and from the fluctuations to which cur rency Bonds are liable. The interest is payable half yearly, and the bonds are redeemable at par, in London, in 1875. The last official quotation was 83 to 85, at which price the interest on investment would be a little over seven per cent., in addition to the bonus of fifteen per cent. (the difference between present price and £100) accruing on redemption. An investment, say in .£l,ooo_of these Bonds, would stand thus : Cost price ... £B5O Nino years' interest - at six per cent. ... £5.10 Difference beiweou the sum invested and amount received at maturity (1875) ... 150 £690 or more than nine per cent. per annum. On looking back to the 3d December, 1856, just ten years ago, when the minimum rate of discount at the Bank of England was seven per cent., we find these Bonds standing at 92 to 94, and it certainly appears to us an anomaly that now, when the rate of discount is only four per cent., and they are ton years nearer maturity, the price should be ten per cent. loWer. As to tho security on which these Bonds rest, we look upon it as fully equal to any first-class railway pre ference stock and mortgages in this country, which are bought to pay 41 to 5 per cent. To show the growth of this railway, it is only necessary to mention that in 1855 the gross receipts from all sources wore $4,720,193, while iu 1865 they ttad reached $17,459469. The bondholders have always been paid their interest with punctuality, and the shareholders have received dividends of ten per cent. per annum, besides a large stock bonus and allotment of new stock at a consider able advantage to holders, these representing the sums taken from the earnings of the line to improve the road, and increase the rolling stock and plant. (From L. P. Morton and Co.'s Circular.) NEw Yon; Doc. 1. Advices per City of Washington report :—The derange ment in financial affairs, noted in our last advices, has since gradually subsided, with none of the grave consequences at that time anticipated. The deposits of the banks were drawn down to the extent of eight millions during the crisis ; but funds have since flowed steadily in from the interior, and the loan market is again in a comparatively easY condition. The excitement is succeeded by a lull, and de mand loans range at 5 to 7 per cent. Discounts also are easier, but quiet, at 6} to 7 per cent. Speculative operations in securities have suffered a severe check by the crisis in the money market. Efforts to rally the stock market from the depression noted in our last bass been but very partially successful, and present indica tions appear to point to a season of dullness. Erie has fluctuated between 71 to 731, and closes at 714. Illinois Central has been, on the whole, dull at 1181 to 119 k, and closes at 118 k. United States Securities have ruled steady but active, under an investment demand from the interior. Five- Twenties of 1882 were in moderate demand early in the week, causing an advance to 1091 to 1094 ; but the price has since ranged 4 to I lower, and closes at 1081 to 1084 Consolidated Five-Twenties of 1865 close quiet at 1081. State Stocks have been fairly active, and have generally recovered from - the depression at the close of last week. Tennessee G's, 1890, close at . 92 to 94 ; North Carolina 65 , 1 71 ; Virginia 6's, 60 to 64 ; Missouri 6's, 874. The gold market has been unsettled, under rumours connected with the Mexican question, and the premiums has fluctuated about six points. The price closes at 1411. Foreign Exchange has been firmer, under an improved demand for bills, with a limited supply. Bankers' Ster ling closes at 109; to 1091, for 60 days, and 110 to 1101 for 3 days' sight ; bills on Paris, 5.15 to 5.131 for 60 days, and 5.121 to 5.111, for short date. CDtton has ruled firm, but with a limited demand both for home consumption and for export. The market closes weaker at 33k to 31 cents for Middling Uplands. COUNTRY MARKETS. RIPON—FRIDAY.
