IREL AND. DUBLIN, Aug. 23. No time has been lost in appropriating the legal patronage which recent legislation has placed at the disposal of the Government. Mr. Chatterton's patience has not been very severely taxed. Prompt payment is an excellent principle in the political economy of party, and he is not the only servant of the Crown who has bad the benefit of its practical recognition. The session had scarcely closed when he reccived the reward of his public services. At 3 o'clock yesterday he was sworn in as Vice-Chau ccllor, and Mr. Warren as his successor in the office of the Attorney General, before the Lord Chancellor, at his house, in Mcri ion-square. Mr. R. Cusack, clerk of the Crown and Ilauaper, administered the oaths. A brief address expresses his gratitude to the electors of the University, and gives them notice that another vacancy in the representation has been cr eated by his promotion. If the constituency were fond of variety, it might well be an object of envy to others who have not been so fortunate in attract- lug the attention of political suitors. " To-day to get lovers, to-morrow to lose them" has been its course of public life since the present Government came into power, but it is beginning to repent of conferring its favours on so many, and to think it more conducive to its interests and reputation to select in future some candidate whose attachment is likely to be permanent. The new Attorney-General, Mr. Warren, will not be rejected; but in the not improbable event of his following the examples of his predecessors the electors are disposed to intimate that no other law officer need apply. There is a growing feeling that the University shouldberepre sented by some gentleman who has no professional advancement to expect through the position which it gives him, and that, not merely inconvenience, but positive dangers is incurred by itsinterest being con fided to those who may be hampered by official ties, and unable in a critical emergency to take an inde pendent course and oppose any objectionable policy which Ministers might feel constrained to adopt. Mr. Warren has already issued his address in the full confidence of an unopposed return, and by an ticipation seeks to turn the point of dissatisfaction by the assurance that his position as Attorney- General " will subserve rather than impede" his exertions "to vindicate the rights and advance the interests of the University, the Established Church, and the learned professions." Tuesday next has been fixed for holding the election. No announce ment has yet been made as to who is to succeed Mr. Warren in the Solicitor -Generalship, but the opinion is gaining ground that Mr. Harrison will be ap- pointed. Another candidate for parliamentary honours is early in the field. Lord Hubert de Burgh Canning, now Viscount Burke, only surviving son of the Marquis of Clanricarde, has offered himself to the electors of the county of Galway, to fill the place rendered vacant by the death of Lord Dunkellin. He promises, if elected, to bring to their service the same devoted zeal and unwearied attention which his lamented brother constantly exhibited, and to give his support to the liberal measures tending to benefit the people and the interest of Ireland. He is not likely to be opposed. The report that the Government have given directions to the Sessional Crown solicitor to prose cute the leaders of the Orange procession on the 12th of July has excited a feeling of disquietude in the North, and the probability of such an intention being seriously entertained is freely discussed. An impression prevails that the matter having been allowed to rest so long unnoticed a prosecution now would only tend to stimulate angry passions and convert into warm sympathisers many Protestants who now heartily disapprove the conduct of the processionists. A fresh grievance would be added to those of which the Orange party camplain. A new incentive would be afforded to the hot headed youth of Ulster to resist the law, and the course would be hallowed by what would be re garded as the martyrdom of their chiefs. Another circumstance makes them think it unlikely that proceedings will be taken against those who took part in the display at Bangor. The object of the monster meeting purported to be to petition Par liament fur a repeal of the Party Processions Act, and a memorial was actually drawn up and for warded to the Earl of Derby, whu has sent a reply to it, and so recognised, as they contend, the legi timate purpose of the assembly. How, then, can the Government, with any degree of consistency, prosecute those with whom the Premier himself has entered into correspondence ? The memorial pro fessed to come from a Protestant meeting, and there was no reference in express terms to the Orange institution, but it was subscribed with the name of " Wm. Beer, Chairman," and this might have been thought sufficient to stamp its character. The memorialists recall Lord Derby's recollection to " the fact that processions on a gigantic scale have more than once taken place in Dublin ; one of them to celebrate the funeral obsequies of a traitor, the other in honour of the memory of O'Connell." They were accompanied by banners, green badges, and bands playing music suitable to the objects commemorated, and yet " the then Law Officers of _the Crown declared that these demonstrations were not illegal." They quote the declaration of Lord Cairns when in the House of Commons, that " he could hardly understand any country that boasts of its freedom being content to be told that it is to be deprived of the liberty of using banners, flags, music, &c., of any kind," and that a higher end would be attained by accustoming the people of Ireland to tolerate on the one side and the other matters which in England are looked upon as in different. Mr. Whiteside's opinion, to the same effect, was also referred to, and the Premier was urged to secure for Ireland, as had been success fully done in Canada, the repeal of an Act which had been a source of irritation and an noyance in Ulster. Lord Derby's reply was as follows : " 10, Downing-street, Whitehall. Aug. 2, 1867. " Sir, --I am directed by Lord Derby to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 29th ult., en closing a memorial from the Protestants of Ulster, assembled in public meeting at Bangor on the 12th ult., on the subject of the Party Processions Act. His Lordship desires me to state that it is his wish, and that of the Government, that as long as the Act continues in force it should be impartially ap plied ; but, in the present state of Ireland, he is not prepared to recommend its repeal.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " lIERBERT MURRAY. " William Johnston, Esq." Recent events are not calculated to alter his Lord ship's opinion of the impolicy of repealing the Act but the expression of his wish and that of the Go vernment that it should be impartially enforced has given satisfaction to the moderate men of both parties. It would, however, in their judgment, be a step of questionable wisdom to prosecute the leaders after holding communication with them. The investigation before the magistrates at Granard Petty Sessions -was resumed yesterday. Other witnesses were examined to prove the nature of the attack on the Rev. Mr. Campbell, and to identify rioters. Mr. Curtis, for the defence, ad mitted the riot, of which he expressed disapproval, but denied that the prisoners were implicated in it. He censured Mr. Campbell, and contended that he might have left. the town quietly if the people had not been led to suppose that he was going to preach. Witnesses were produced, and the hearing of the else 1133 not yet terminated. The autumn show of the Royal Horticultural Society was held yesterday at Salthill, and though the weather was not so favourable as was expected there was a large attendance. In the evening the members dined togetber at Salthill Hotel. The half-yearly meeting of the Dublin and Drog heda Railway Company was held yesterday, at the Amiens-street terminus; Mr. J. W. Moreland in the chair. The report showed a prosperous condi tion of the property, and a dividend at the rate of 4f per cent. was declared. The observations made at the meetings of other northern lines in reference to amalgamation were replied to, and the board de fended for declining unless upon fair terms. It was also distinctly intimated that ia the event of the Government seeking to purchase they should be prepared to give an equitable price, according to the provisions of the act of 1844. At Rathfriland sessions to-day 11 persons were charged with complicity in the late riots. Mr. Magee, the Crown solicitor, prosecuted, and Mr. Frazer, barrister, defended the accused. He complained that Protestants only were prosecuted. Mr. Magee said he wished that both parties should be made amenable. He applied for a postponement for a week, and consented to give copies of the informations. The cases were accordingly adjourned. At Granard Fleming obtained a postponement to September 18 in order to forward informations. The Attorney- General will receive fresh instructions. The magis trates were equally divided as to informations. The Rev. Mr. Campbell's counsel admitting that there is no evidence of assault the defendants were bailed. Miscellaneous Fore►g , t News. (From CorreTondents ,f tht; .Invlo-American Tiincs.) PA I:IS, Aug. 22. The Universal Exposition here, even before its commencement, has been for so long the piece de resistance of sketchers and writers of every de scription that I fear my experience of a day will tend little either to the amusement or instruction of my readers. Nevertheless, I trust so much to their uniform indulgence that I venture to invite them to visit with me the interior of the world in miniature, whose eternal portals we passed together recently in our walk through Paris. Let us sup pose ourselves landed by some means or Other of the thousandand one available, at the Grand Porte. On entering, the visitor finds himself sheltered from the heat and dust which the month of August—the noblest in the year—sheds over Paris, the thermo meter marking perhaps 36 in the shade beneath a broad canopy of green velvet powdered with gold bees, which forms, as it were, a kind of avenue in that part of the park up to the building itself, whilst the spray thrown in a thousand refreshing jets from two gigantic bronze fountains adds a de licious coolness to the atmosphere thoroughly ap preciated by the voyageur. But we must not pass the aforesaid fountains without regarding them, for they are chefs d'eeuvre of their kind ; one which comes from the forges of Barbezut and Company, Val d'Osne, . presents to the view four gigantic statues, typical of the four quarters of the world, leaning against the massive mainshaft of the fountain, with two cupids lying at the feet of each ; these in turn support an immense shield in four compartments, which brought to my recollection the far-famed one of the Grecian hero Achilles ; the shaft continued above this shield, and adorned, as to its fluted sides, with antique head, supports a smaller shield, the whole completed by a cupola, and pouring forth sheets of spray from every imaginable opening. The other, as nearly as possible of the same size, differs in regard to the principal group of statues, being upright instead of in a reclining posture, whilst a very beautiful effect is produced at the base by a circle of cupids, who, standing each in the middle of a shell, pour water from an urn in a basin, whilst numberless lions' heads, forming the bosses of a similar shield, pour forth streams of water in the style of the celebrated fountains of the Alhambra. The latter comes from the foundries of the Haute Marne. The nark, or general enclosure of the Exposition, which presents the same analogy as compared with the building itself as an immense wholesale ware house would to a shop in which the same merchan dise is arranged for the inspection of the purchaser, puzzles and perplexes the visitor a good deal. He sees an immense number of buildings and erections of every kind in the most admired confusion. Royal pavilions, Egyptian temples, Dutch farmhouses, Nomade tent, &c., intermixed with large sheds for the exhibition of machinery at work. Kiosks in numerable, cum multis aliis pie 71201 C describere lougtan erit. Giving him merely our advice to pass through this heterogeneous affair as nearly as possible in a circle with the Palace itself as a radius, I shall proceed to divert his attention to those principally worthy of notice. It is greatly to be regretted, however, that from the scarcity of sufficiently well-arranged guide books, as well as from the want of interpreters, some of the most interesting exhibiti)ns are not, and cannot be, lucidly explained to the visitor, especially should he happen to be American or English, the French having a better chance from their language being more commonly known in the various parts of the European and Eastern World. Thus he would not for some time at least, fully comprehend, simply from the panorama itself, the progress which has been already made, as well as the difficulties which remain to be overcome in the important and interesting undertaking now going on for the purpose of connecting the Mediterranean with the Red Sea by means of a maritime canal cut through the Isthmus of Suez. The panorama, however, which transports the visitor from the warm climate of France to the burning soil of Egypt, shows that commencing from Port Saide, a port established on the borders of the Mediter ranean, and already occupied by about 8,000 in habitants, the undertaking has advanced as far as Lake Timesah, having stations at Cantara, a point taken by the caravans of the desert, en route for Syria—at Elfardane, El Guin, and Imailia, the capital of the Isthmus and residence of the Viceroy, from which place a river canal will connect le maritime one with Cairo, whilst the latter will be continued to Suez. It is estimated that this un dertaking, one of the greatest of modern times, will be completed within the space of two years, the remaining portion of the work being to conduct the canal across what we termed the Bitter Salt Lake, which, being in a great measure dried up, will form an admirable means for the reception of the canal. One or two immense blocks of salt in crystal are exhibited at the entrance of the building. This panorama is exceedingly interesting, and great credit is due to the enterprising company by whom it is carried on for the manner in which they are accomplishing their stupendous work. But we must not linger too long in one place. Advancing, we pass what at first sight appears to be only an ordinary block of bronze, bearing the inscription, " Galvanoplastre ;" but let not the vieitor pass that block too hastily, for on one of its sides he will find a reproduction of one of the most exquisite specimens of wood carving that it has ever been his fortune to behold, the door of the sacristy of the Church of St. Mark, Venice, the chef trceutrre of the renowned sculptor Sansovini; the two middle panels represent—the one the Saviour, who has just been taken down from the Cross, and whom his disciples are placing in a coffin ; the bodies of the two Thieves are yet suspended on their crosses, but the middle cross is vacant, the Roman Guard are defiling slowly through the mountain tops ; whilst the pea sants are seated about in various projections of the vine-covered rocks, a group of females stand by the coffin, two supporting in their arms a third, whose finely depicted anguish ren ders easy of recognition she who loves her Lord so well. The other panel depicts Our Lord rising from the grave, and standing upright on the coffin, bearing in his hand the banner of Salvation ; above his bead myriads of angels and cherbuims -are descending, whilst at the foot of the panel Roman soldiers are recoiling in various attitudes of terror. The small aide panels, though equally beautiful as specimens of carving, do not possess any remark ably distinctive features. As a work of art, the reproduction of this door is a chef d'ouvre, and we must not forget due praise to the inventor of the beautiful process by which it has been so admirably preserved. The limits, however, of a letter intended for the general reader will not permit me to dilate too long upon a special subject, for there are readers whom political news attracts most; there are fair dames who love to search for news of the Court and the gossip ; and there are venerable ones whose tender haarts thrill with horror and compassion at the recital of all the various moving accidents by flood, and field, and fireside, announced weekly in Paris, even as the heart cf the fair Venetian of old thrilled at those of the interesting Moor, who afterwards so ruthlessly bolstered her—a fate which some of my American friends would say with the Welsh jury who sat on Mrs. David Price, Sarved her right, for taking up with a tarna , tion nigger." So that with a promise to recom mence next week my interrupted experience of the Great World's Fair in Paris, and stopping only for an instant at the beautiful bread factory and shop of our friend Director Bacon for a handful of his inimitable Boston crackers, we shall take leave of our reader beneath the shadow of the Stars and Stripea, which float so gracefully from the pavilions in which Citizens Dows and Guild, U.S., fabricate in crystal and silver the smashes and sherry cobblers which lick all creation, or the ice-cream soda couleur de rose beverages, which will create many a time a grateful souvenir of those great men in the memory of those who have experienced its refreshing coolness, even though unappreciated by the jaded palate of the representative of the Pall _ltctll Gezette, only perhaps to be marred by the latest compound of the Unapproachable Club, as described perhaps in the " S . ybil " of the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. I must not, how ever, finally leave the Exposition, especially whilst speaking of bevero,ges, without speaking of an inci dent which has just lengthened considerably many a bearded visage, viz., the sudden running out of one of the German breweries. The crowd to-day was enormous, and after supplying 6,000 chopes, or half-pints, the cellar ran dry before one o'clock in the day. Dire was the French and Foreign consternation, for beer has become 6ne of the most fashionable beverages of the Parisians also, and many were the polyglot imprecations of " Gott in himmel, " Der Tenfel," " Sacre nom d'un chien," which greeted the unvarying re sponse of " ich haben nicbt" or " it n y est-plus," an answer given by one of the waiters, a simple looking Viennese, however, was calculated to afford considerable satisfaction to the numerous disap pointed ones. " Comment" (said an irritable look ing little Frenchman). " Pas de biere" (How, no beer ?) " Oh, que si, monsieur" (Oh yes, sir). "Eh bien" (Well then). "Elie est encore k Stras bourg. Mais soyez tranquille, nous aeons tele graphic pour la faire venir par le train express." (But it is as yet at Strasbourg. We have sent for it to come by express). It is needless to say the victim " levanted," taking up the double. The Em peror and Empress have paid a visit of condolence to the Emperor and Empress of Austria at Salzbourg, arriving there on the 18th inst., the fete day of the latter potentate. Their Majesties were received at their royal hosts, accompanied by the Archduke Louis Victor, the governor of the province, the burgomaster of the city, and the military autho rities ; and after partaking for a few days the splendid hospitality of the Austrian sovereign, and paying a short visit to the Emperor Francis 11., their Imperial Majesties returned to Paris on Thursday last. Some would-be alarmists pretend to discern in this visit some new political combina tions, but the views of Austria, especially as regards territorial extension, must be considerably modified by the expenses and experience of the late Italian war. I believe the visit myself to be a bona fide one of condolence, though it is probable that even such powerful monarchs will not have met without discussing in some manner the political position of Europe. The city has been thrown into consterna tion this week by several of those terrible dramas which the susceptible temperament of the inhabit ants of southern regions so frequently evidence. The murder of Madame Mertens by her friend Madame Frigard, in the wood of Fontainebleau, coupled with the mystery in which the affair has been enveloped,* and the masculine coolness and self reliance evinced by the accused on her trial, have ranked this affair amongst the celebrated criminal cases of France. It has received, however, suffi cient explanation and comment from the Press to need any further notice on my part. On Friday evening last the inhabitants of the Quartier St. Antoine were aroused by the sudden explosion of a pistol in the house of a marchand des eins in the Beautreillis, followed by the appear ance of a man at the front door, which, after closing firmly, he retired, his absence being immediately fol lowed by another report. Entrance was speedily forced by the authorities, and upon their arrival a most distressing and fearful spectacle presented itslf. On the bed lay fully dressed the corpse of a woman, whilst on the floor, in the agonies of death, rolled the murderer ; whilst, to add to the horrors of the scene, in a cradle reposed tran quilly an infant of nine months. Upon examination it was found that the bodies were those of Monsieur and Madame Minatte, the approximate cause of the double murder, resulting, it is supposed, from a fit of jealousy on the part of the husband. Singular to relate, at almost the same instant many persons who were passing through the Place Ven dome saw appear, all at once, on the top of the column a man, who repeatedly waved his hat to them, as if desirous they should get out of the way. Before, however, they could understand clearly his movements, he was seen to get astride the balustrade and precipitate himself headlong on to the street. It is needless to add that death was instantaneous. The body was at once conveyed to the Morgue. It is probable this will have the effect of inducing the authorities, by some simple method or other, to render impossible for the future a repetition of such scenes, the more especially considering the number of public monuments of this description to which the people have free access. During the past week several public buildings and monuments have been inaugurated at Paris, amongst which I may mention the churches of the Holy Trinity of Saint Augustin, and last, not least, the exterior of the new opera opposite the entrance of the Rue de Paris, which, for architec tural beauty, ranks amongst the very first public buildings of Franco. As it would require, however, the pencil of the artist, as well as the imagination of a poet, to describe this charming public institu tion, I . shall content myself with referring the reader to the various photographs and engravings which he will find on every hand. The closing of the fete of the 15th has been marked by a graceful act on the part of the Emperor in the remission of the various punish ments incurred by some 220 of the National Guard of the department of the Seine— " The quality of mercy Is mightiest in the mightiest." One word to sportsmen. The district of the South of France was opened for the Chase on the 19th inst. Although the south does not offer so much attraction as the central and northern dis tricts, the disciples of St. Herbert were on foot with the rising of the sun. Quail and partridge are, it is said, abundant this season ; large game, however, such as the wild boar and roebuck, &c., are dind nishing in the southern district to a considerable extent. In the Zone du Nord, or northern district, the chase will commence, as in England, upon the Ist of September. PARIS, Aug. 22 Musical instruments at the Exposition, and the uncovering of the new Opera-house have been the subjects of interest in Paris circles this week. I shall devote a special correspondence to the former in a subsequent letter, and before I proceed to describe the new edifice will but mention in the American department the Chickering piano, now called the king of all pianos. Hereditary right to title may be contested, as Messrs. Chickering and Sons, our contemporaries, have themselves founded this novel mon archy ; but their factory in Tremont-street, B os ton, if not a regal ma nor, .is a p alace in the factory s t y le, and occupies a space of no less than 206,000 feet. It would be interest ing to lead my readers all over the building, but it is fearfully complete in every detail, and neither breadth, width, nor height, could be given to it in the few lines I can here dispose of. The object of the building being the manufac ture of the pianos themselves, I will simply resume the points which so essentially make them surpass others in perfection. Firstly, quality, power, and unity of sound ; secondly, neat and delicate power of touch, the kind, quality, and durability of finish. The following are the names of the artists who have consecrated the above remarkable qualities by testimonials of the highest appro bation :—Thalberg, Benedict, Black, Gottschalk, Kehli,. Richard Hoffmann, Poznanski, &c. The latter gives a séance every day at the Champ de Mars between three and five o'clock, which draws eager crowds round the American section, who stand in a large circle listening to the *Madame Fugard has since confessed that she poisoned Xadame gortm vrith,pruoic Acid. different effects of modulation produced by the clever artist. I say that people have to stand, which, alas, is proverbial, for many remain thus stationary till they are ready to drop, always ex cepting our elegantes, who are drawn up to the pianos in garden chairs by officials in red and grey uniforms. There they delightfully recline with half-closed eyes savouring the musical treat, all the more acceptable because it is gratis. It surprises no one that the French jury of 1867 should have imitated the English jury of the Lon don Exhibition by awarding the medal of honour t 3 Messrs. Chickeriug and Sons ; but many were astonished that the Emperor should in person have accompanied the presentation with the decoration of the Cross of the Legion of Honour, the sole dis tinction of the kind awarded to emulating exhibitors. Some of the sweetest memories of the Exposition will be those of visitors who have regularly at tended Mr. Poznanski's trial of Chickering's in struments. From such music to the opera, grads- tion is easy. Amateurs of grand things gratis have not ceased gathering round the noble edifice since the scaffoldings fell from it on the 15th August. The opera forms the centre of that space facing the Boulevard des Italiens, surrounded by the new streets Scribe, Auber, Haleoz, and the continuation of the Boulevard Haussmann. The principal front of the edifice is a portico forming an open work of seven arches. To the right and left of this are the side or lateral facings, on each of which rises a pro- jetting pavilion, one of which facing the Rue Auber is the imperial entrance, and so contrived that the Emperor's carriage will set him down within the walls of the opera. The first floor of the prin cipal facing is ornamented with double rows of marble columns and arches, which are not only remarkable for carving and architectural em bellishment, but have been selected with a view to add the splendid effects of colour to those of indus try; thus pedestals and pillars of brown Jura contrast with Italian marble, the warm tißts of violet-veined stone heighten the darker shades of Raviere's block. These are surmounted by the gilt bronze busts of our principal composers, and the ensemble produces the most striking effect. White marble and sombre bronze statues will be grouped in every niche, most elegant flights of steps lead to the boxes inside, each box, even up in the fifth tier, has a small withdrawing room adjoin ing it. The stage is thirty-two metres deep, and 30 wide. The height of the immense stone gable arising above the stage exceeds that of the towers of Notre Dame. On the summit of the cupola above the house is a gigantic ventilator, bearing the im perial crown and eagle in gilt bronze. The stair cases and lobbies, all of the richest masonry, with in laid marble, are so constructed that there are separate passages and steps for corners and goers, so that crushing is impossible. White marble and gilt are used in great profusion about the imperial pavilion on the ground floor, on which is a waiting-room for the body-guard (the Cent-Gardes), and stabling for the escort. On the first floor to the right of this pavilion is the Emperor's reception room, which is to be most splendidly decorated, and to the left thatof the Empress's. A gallery from these state-rooms leads to the Imperial box, but he has another private one near the stage when he wishes to enjoy the opera without all the ceremony of a gala performance. On the summit, however, of his pri vate pavilion there is a cupola and imperial crown. On the corresponding pavilion is another bearing the mural crown of the Tower of Paris. Every possible appliance that forethought could devise has been provided. There is a station for a body of firemen and police, a smoking room, refreshment and waiting rooms, galleries, for those who have not taken tickets beforehand, and a reserved entrance for such aristocratic equipages whose coachmen cannot drive their masters through the same openings fit for hired fiacres. There are no less than five underground floors or storks below the stage, coach houses for the Emperor's carriage, plenty of stages for the Cent Gardes, without forgetting a ll the different offices for directors, managers, under-managers, and those who are employed in t he different depart ments of the opera. There are vast warehouses for stag e dec o r ations, stage furniture, slips, and all the appliances for the ballet, separate rooms for hairdressers, dressmakers, also separate with drawing rooms for the deras and tenors, whose throats are the recipients of those wonderful sol's, fit's, and zit's, which each costs a for tune to hear. This Opera-home is not Babylon. nor Sodom or Gomorrha either, whatever our mora it is only as y e t th e arc hit ec tural wonder nineteenth ce n t ury , an d t o me it seems niay of sayth ; b u iltfo e r the purpose o f a ll ur i ng the demi- lists gods of fortune from those Elysian fields which are. in our times, situated near the mines of California. COMMERCIAL. New YORK, August 10 Money is accumulating in embarrassing abundance, and rates continue to decline. On Governments, advances are made at 3 per cent., on Stock Securities at 4, and on prime commerc i a l paper at 6 to 7. Government Bonds daily grow stronger, and large orders have reached brokers to purchase not only from the country, but from abroad. Gold is steady and increasing, though the market is dull. Yesterday it opened at 140/, . and after declining to 140 closed at 1401. The market was by turns weak; and inactive, and strong and excited. The general impression is, that in the face of the favour able thep e re st during sent the high summer, amounting to price of gold cannot be maintained. The export of s pecie is decreasing .

American silver sells at 6to 7 cents below the price of gold. Mexic an doll ars are quoted at 103; to 104 in gold. Foreign exchange is dull and steady, a few sales only being effected, at 109/ to 109/ in gold. Erie broke last Saturday, fluctuating between 68 and 73 for hours. During the week it re mained quiet at the middle figure, but it fell again on Wednesday, influenced by a rumour that a leading director had resigned, and was marked at 69/. In sympathy, the New York Central has declined from 5 to 4 per cent., while other securities and investments, in fluenced by the same feeling, have generally declined. Mining stocks are dull, though there is a better inquiry for the Nevada Silver Mining Stocks, several recently formed companies having proved their success by forward ing large returns of bullion. General trade is, to the last degree stagnant, and as cotton goods are falling more failures are feared.

United States Govern ment Bonds showed no alteration in quotations excepting for the 5-20's of 1862 and 1865, the descriptions currently dealt in in Europe, thu4 leading to the conclusion that these bonds were in demand for export; they are both quoted at an advance of 1 per cent. The official monthly roturn of the United States Debt shows a total decrease since Juno of $4,309,510 of which amount nearly $4,000,000 is owing to the increase of coin in the national Treasury, which, as will be seen below, now stands at $102,905,174. The Ist July state ment had not appeared, as owing to that being the close of the fiscal year there had been some delay in making up the accounts. In the Railroad Share Market there had been considerable fluctuations ; generally stocks had declined from $2 to $4, but Erie was as much as $6 lower. In Rail road Mortgages and State Stocks but littlo was doing at former rates, 3loney continued very abundant, while gold showed an advancing tendency. During the past week there has been a large amount of business in United States 5-20 Bonds, the greater part being in the 1865 issue. On higher quotations for gold from New York they were done at a decline from this day week, the 1862's touching 73a, and the 1865 issue 711 ; but on a reaction in the premium on gold, reported by telegram this morning thorn has been a rally, and the 1862's leave off 73- to 7n, and the 1865's 71; to 71- 7 . Both Illinois Central and Erie Shares have been neglected and flat; the fozmer close 771 to 774, and the latter 441 to 45f. SOUTH AMERICA. The intelligence received from the River Plate and Brazil is of more interest than it has been for some months past. The Allied army and fleet were ready to make the " grand attack" on Paraguay, for which the public has been anxiously waiting nearly a twelvemonth, though this is perhaps the first time in history that a grand and decisive engagement, if it takes place, has been made known to the world through a set programme printed by all the press of Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, and Brazil. The plan of operations seems nevertheless but vaguely defined. As near as possible it is this :—The camp of Curuza has been broken up, and the army was to move through the Grand Chaco, a boundless desert, and pass Humaita; the fleet to co-operate, and also pass up, and while one part of the army executes a flank movement, the Chaco expedition and fleet are to attack from the rear—a most preposterous programme. For more than a year the allies have been unable to take or pass the outworks of Ilumaita Curupaity, and now in a day they propose not only the taking or passing of the strong work itself, but Humaita with its 200 cannon. It is doubtful if even the attempt will be made. The secret treaty of the triple alliance to bring liberty and civilisation to Paraguay seems not to have been condemned by all powers, for a force esti mated variously from 400 to 2,000 wild Chaco Indians has been armed and equipped by Brazil to aid this unholy undertaking. The probable result will be their decamping at the first opportunity with the horses, arms, and uniforms received. Marshal Lopez, with his brave Paraguayans, is calmly await ing the result, which may probably decide a three years' campaign so wantonly begun, and so disas trous to the allied forces. We hope the English packet due on the 2d proximo will bring tidings of the result of the expedition. At Buenos Ayres trade was exceedingly dull, owing, not only to the protracted war, but to the unsettled state of the interior provinces, particularly in Catamarca and Rioja, and, being so far distant from the seat of Government, it has been difficult to take any steps to subdue the revolutionary party. Na tional bonds had suffered serious depreciation, chiefly from over speculating, and the Government had been obliged to come into the market for a new loan, which as yet has not been negotiated. At Montevideo a very sensational affair has taken place, a plot having been discovered to blow up the Government buildings, and thereby make an end of the Dictator, General Flores, a creature of Brazil, and all his favourites. The most curious thing to observe in this is, that all the parties implicated, most of whom have been arrested, are of the same party, and, as was thought, adherents to the Dic tator, none of his enemies being concerned therein. From Rio Janeiro there is nothing important. Trade dull. Several schemes for bringing out new loans, and one for the emission of sBo,ooo,ooodols. in paper currency, were under discussion. Messrs. Man 6 and Co. has proposed a plan for the redemp tion of the whole Brazilian debt in the form of lot teries, which, if accepted, will, it is feared, greatly damage Brazilian credit abroad, and meet with great opposition from the Chambers. 2IIAXDLILIAN AND BENJAMIN L UNDY. A writer in a contemporary says : I have already observed that both Maximilian and Lundy were bold, enterprising, determined to persevere in the face of formidable difficulties, and tenderly affectionate in their family relation ships. Nature, in these qualities, had endowed them alike ; and though one was of royal and the other of humble birth, the difference in their characters was due chiefly to the difference of their circum- stances and training. As every life has a mission and teaches a lesson, as well as every nation, I pro- cecd to trace the labours and characteristics of Maximilian and Lundy, and to point to the lesson which each life imparts. Maximilian from his early years was accustomed to witness the gorgeous ritual and splendid display of the ser vices of the Church of Rome. Lundy, from his early years, reverently worshipped in the meet ings of Friends, without book, or music, or priest, waiting in silence for the direction of the Spirit. The character of Maximilian was moulded by those of his own order, and his liberal tendencies when a ruler in Lombardy were checked by his recall. The character of Lundy was moulded by his love to God and man ; he was ready at any time to lay down his life rather than yield up his anti-slavery principles ; and he was thus enabled to mould the character of all classes from the highest statesman to the most despised slave. Each had faith in his mission, and faith in the means he employed to secure success. Maximilian, after much persua sion, and with the promise of a crown visited Mexico. Lundy witnessed the agonies and despair of a coffle of slaves as they departed to the South, and voluntarily and silently vowed to God that his life should be devoted to the abolition of slavery. Each was steadfast in his purpose and earnest in his work. Both alined to enlist the sympathies of others ; both braved the perils of the deep ; both were in journeyings oft; both jeopardised their lives, both hoped even against hope. Maximilian entered Mexico at the head of an army, conscious of the sympathies of the aristocracies, and of some of the crowns of Europe. Lundy entered Mexico alone, on foot, conscious of the approval of the Redeemer, of the persecuted abolitionists, and of the despised free-coloured people. The Em peror, not understanding the Mexicans, imagined that among them prevailed a latent love of monarchy, and that if the opportunity were given for its development and expression a strong and general response would be made in favour of the Empire. But the Mexicans were under two classes of leaders, religious and political. Being superstitious they clung to religious leaders, who sought to establish despotism. Being desirous of enjoying political liberty they clung to military adventurers, who sought to make their own will the law ; so That either despotism or anarchy pre vailed as the one or the other party gained the ascendancy. Mexico was prostrate and bleed ing during a twenty years' struggle between am bition in the Church, and ambition in the army, and the Empire afforded it no remedy. Lundy, understanding the Mexicans, saw that public sentiment needed to be regenerated by a spread of Bibles, and the establishment of free schools and free presses. Ile believed that he should find sympathy for the coloured people in a nation that had emancipated her slaves, and he was not disappointed. An im mense tract of land was granted to him for an asy lum for the oppressed. Ilad Maximilian possessed the anti-slavery intelligence of Lundy, or exercised similar anti-slavery sympathy, he would have been guarded from the dangers he incurred, and would ' have been saved from the death he died. The Con federacy of the Slave States hung suspended on the chain of the slave. The empire and the Con federacy were united by a bond vital as that which unites the Twin Siamese. When the chain of the Confederacy was broken it fell, and when it fell it dragged clown the empire with it. What sympathy had the Empire shown to the Republic in its struggle, or to the slave in his chains ? None ivhatever ! It reprenuted the viri6tocratic timent. But the tide of events turned. The might of the North as an anti-slavery power was revealed. Its voice was the voice of the Republic, and it warned the European friends of Maximilian, "If you interfere, we interfere." Lundy laid the foundation of this very anti-slavery power. Public opinion is stronger than armies or navies. The man of peace is more powerful than the man of war. Spiritual weapons have proved more successful than carnal ones. The fate of the Empire rested on the presence of the French army, and that was recalled to Europe. The Empress, to aid her husband, recrosses the ocean and pleads in vain with the Pope and for Europe's aid. Hope after hope dies in the breast of Maximilian. He is deceived and betrayed by all in whom he trusted. Ile is a prisoner, tried, sentenced, and awaits execution, conscious that the Empire dies when he dies. The time comes, the sentence is executed, and Maximilian and the Empire expire together. How persevering was his endeavour, bow complete his failure ! Far different was the mission of Lundy. He had gone forth weeping, sowing precious seed. He saw in the midst of persecution that the seed sprang up, grew, and some sheaves ripened. Anti-slavery truth gained daily some triumph over the churches, the presses, the political parties, and the social circle. The slave power was shaken. The little one became a thousand, and, at the close of his labours, when sickness came, when death ap proached, Lundy saw that he had not laboured in vain, and, conscious that he had achieved a victory, peacefully resigned his spirit to God. This was at his own home surrounded by lov ing friends. Time brought emancipation, not as he expected, by the change of public opinion, but with the tread of armies, the booming of can non, and with garments rolled in blood. It came, and the shout of millions set free, went up in praise and thanksgiving to God. How persevering was Lundy's endeavour, how very complete his success ! Maximilian, in seeking power, became a spectacle of weakness ; Lundy, in seeking to elevate the oppressed, became truly great. The one found no aid in the tendencies of the age or the unseen forces of the future ; the other worked for humanity, and both the tendencies of the age and the moral powers of the invisible world, aided his work and nsured him success. SCANDALS RESULTING FROM SURIZA.2 T'S 2 RIAL. Surratt's trial, besides costing the Government $lOO,OOO, has given rise to startling scandals with out accomplishing any good results. In the first place, a charge has been made against Secretary Stanton of having detached from the papers re cording the proceedings of the court-martial which tried the conspirators a document recommending Mrs. Surratt on account of age and sex to the President's mercy, prior to submission. The papers were read at a meeting of the Cabinet, but no such document was forthcoming, and ,he President appears to have first become aware of its existence by an application to him from Surratt's counsel to be allowed to use it in the defence. It is not shown who detached the re commendation to change the woman's sentence from death to confinement for life, but it is affirmed by the Secretaries Seward and Welles that the papers formed the subject of discussion at a Cabi net meeting, and that no such document was among them. But gross and unaccountable as such an accusation is, it is mild in comparison with that made against General Butter and Mr. Ashley, a full account of which appears in the correspondent's letter of the Standard. A letter from Sanford Canover, the perjurer, addressed to the President, has been transmitted through the acting Attorney- General, Mr. Brinckley, applying for pardon, on the grounds of informality in his trial and convic tion. The application is endorsed by Judge Holt, and Congressmen Ashley and Riddle, on the grounds of the valuable services rendered to the prosecution at the pending Surratt trial by Canover. This is accompanied by a document from Canover of so extraordinary a nature that we give the entire extract : " After obtaining my promise to tender all the assistance in my power, Mr. Ashley explained to me tho kind of evi dence ho thought it the most advisablo to present against you. (1 must be very brief.) lie thought it would be very plausible to prove— "First—That Booth had on several occasions paid you familiar visits to Kirkwood. This it was hoped I might be able to induce some of the old female servants to testify to. If this could not be done then it should be proved by some of my friends who happened to be at the house at the time, who know Booth, &c., and saw the visit. " Secondly—That you corresponded with Booth, which should be shown by ono or more persona who had taken notes from Booth to you, and your replies (contents un- known) thero to Booth. Tno witnesses should be persons who would profess to have been intimate with Booth, and to havo been onlisted by him to take part in the assassina- tion. " Third—That the placing of Atzerodt with weapons al the Kirkwood House was only a sham, although Atzerodt was not aware of it, to make it appear that you were in• tended as a victim, and thus distract all suspicion from you of conniving at Lincoln's murder. This also, it was sug- Bested, could be proved by persons who could testify that they had been induced to enter into the conspiracy with Booth and had performed a part in organising it, &c., which persons it was to be understood were induced to testify and©r an assurance from the Government that they should not be prosecuted for any part they had taken. The resolution under which Butler's committee was appointed, it will be observed, provides for the protection of such persons who are furnished with a good excuse for not coming forward before, by offering imn.unity to all who were concerned in the conspiracy, who will now come forward and disclose their knowledge on the subject. "Fourth—That Booth, just before the 4th of March stated to an intimate friend in New York, whom he had endeavoured to enlist in the conspiracy, that ho was act ing with the knowledge of the Vice-President, and that it had been arranged to kill Mr. Lincoln on the day of the Inauguration, which would account for Mr. Johnson's strange conduct on that occasion, which had provoked so much comment by the press; that you expected the tragedy to be enacted then, and had taken several pota tions to compose and nerve you for the event; and that you were not so much intoxicated as nervous and excited. I feel much delicacy in referring to such topics, but I can not inform you of your enemies' plans and projects with out being plain, and I am obliged to write in too groat haste to be choice in my language. "I assured Ashley that I should have no difficulty in finding persons of good standing and moral character to prove these matters, and it was agreed that I would do so as soon as released." Mr. Ashley some time since introduced resolu tions in Congress to impeach President Johnson, when he stated that he was in possession of valuable information in support of such impeachment. Gene ral Butler is chairman of the committee to investi gate the circumstances of the murder of Mr. Lin coln. That committee has power to shield from punishment any informer throwing a light on the conspiracy. It is alleged by Canover that not only was he promised protection but a large reward, if lie substantiated by sufficient suborned evi dence the charges that he, General Butler, and Ashley had concocted against the President. During Canover's confinement in Washington, he states that he was visited by Ashley and Butler, who re vealed the plot, to which Canover consented. Find , ing that he was not liberated, Canover, whose rea. name is Dunham, turned on those he alleges had been his instigators, and furnished letters he had received from Ashley, and an account of the con spiracy to the President. That the story bears marks of being a wild fabrication is evident. If Butler thus committed himself, and having the power to shield the perjurer did not exercise it, he would be mad. That a man convicted, and now undergoing a sentence for perjury, is to be believed, is grossly absurd. General Butler having mixed himself up with this dirt cannot be surprised if some of it should stick to him. Whether we will ever seach the truth of the story appears very doubtful, and the more it is investigated the less likely it appears, considering the frightful enmity which in daces men of high social position, to trump up charges of the most horrible crimes against each other, and to bring on the scene, in support of their accusations, the lowest scum to be found in the United States. Although we cannot but regard Canover's story as anothe r fabrication, the remarks of the Assistant -Attorney-General somewhat stagger us. That officer, commenting on the documents, states : "In conclusion, I beg leave to express the profound sensibility with which I find myself obliged to bring to the serious notice of the President of the United Stater'. =lwo, tions and papers which must occasion him painful em barrassment. They expose prominent members of the Legislature of the Union to the shocking suspicion of hav ing conspired with a convicted perjurer for a stupendous imposition, first upon the House of Representatives, then upon the people, and then upon the Senate of the United States, for the purpose of effecting the impeachment and removal from office of a President of the United States solely upon suborned testimony. I need nct say with what astonishment mankind would hear it charged that a scheme so abominable was heightened still by the peculiar wicked ness of attempting to induce the intended victim himself, through appeals to his clemency, to qualify by a pardon with competency to act and testify the principal instru ment of the imposture !" HOW A FRONTIERSMAN FIGHTS LYDIA NS. A Denver letter, in the Cincinnati Gazette, has a story of frontier life : " My last letter closed with the arrival of our party at Godfrey's rancho, on our westward jour ney. This ranche is about midway between Old Julesburg and the Platte and Denver City. As this is a noted place, and its proprietor a character,' I propose to dwell awhile. " Old Godfrey,' as he is called by travellers and himself when he is at hisranche, and Old Wicked; when he is on his travels, is a man about si'tY years of age, above the average in stature, well built and firmly knit ; his hair iron grey, his eye keen and undimmed, his shoulders slightly bent by time, hardships, and wounds received from the In dians, who are his only near neighbours, and who never visit him to take tea or drinks socially, but always do call when they think their force large enough to take his cattle, his goods, or the scalp of the old veteran, or of some or all of his family. " his watchfulness has so far thwarted them and protected his household treasures ; but they often run off his stock, and he as often succeeds in getting even with them. The ranche is built of adobe, the walls being about 2ft. thick; the apart ments are the dining-room, for travellers, a kitchen, two or three lodging rooms, and a large room, used for a sitting, wash-room, and a store—the floor being rough boards. In this room are also the arms and ammunition used in defending his home from the frequent attacks of his neighbours afore said. " His fa.aily consists of his wife, a frail, patient looking woman, a daughter about eighteen, and three sons. These form the corps reserve, vbil a one or two hired men assist in guarding agains t surprise and doing the work about the rancho. Outside of the:house, and 10 feet from it are the forti fications, which completely surround it. The V ll4 of defence are built of sod taken from the surfa ce of the prairie, being about 2 feet thick at the bottom and one at the top, the height being about 5 feet ; near the top loopholes are frequen t ' affording range in all directions. Through th i l wall, opposite the front door, is an opening sh °ll " three feet wide, and bags of sand lying near to ba r ' ricade the same if required. " The Indians, who have often by treachery ana open attack tried to destroy this fort and murd er its occupants, have as often been beaten, till WI now have a wholesome fear of the determined God frey and his brave family. They hate him w ith °' bitter hate, and declare they will yet have his h air ' and Godfrey declares that they shall not. " The bluffs are about six miles from Fort Go a ' frey, and distinctly visible. Behind these bluffs th B Indians watch for chances. A few weeks sh le c e i Godfrey saw a fine antelope near his rancho/ 111/ h0 taking his long rifle he started in pursuit. In t a excitement of the chase he failed to notice th distance, and nearing the bluffs, a party of sa aj e Cheyennes, who had been watching as O i l.; went for him.' The old man started, but Pi horse was too slow, and the Indians were gain i° e g a upon him rapidly. Here his experience ser % him. Knowing that his long rifle would reac h farther than the carbines with which his Pa; suers were armed, he suddenly stopped his hors_ci took deliberate aim over the back of the steed, lap laid laid one of the savages low. This occasione d a clel]o with them, which Godfrey improved. But two , taking care of the dead Indian, four fol lowed and in a short time Godfrey repeated the op eratic'' killing one more. off " This last delay saved him ; but being cu t from his ranche, he found shelter in another rane l l about ten miles from home. Here was po ll chance for the Red skins. Old Wicked' away, his family without his aid. It was a chance not _t, be neglected, and soon about fifty attacked the expecting to revel in the blood of the family of t e 7 . . bitter foe. The family had time to prepar e forth and receive them handsomely, Mrs. Godfrey : co the daughter loading, while the male in el3l , t he defended. The battle raged for 2 4 hou rs, b°l, o ' determined brave men and women held their o v c d till the stages approached, and the Indians vai n ce r3 the ranche' in double quick. Thus the Pi° l3 4 . lf , of our country live in perils and dangers coos Of without aid or sympathy from the Gover3ol which ought to afford them sure protection. COUNTRY MARKETS.
