IRELAND. Minix, June 14. In the prosecution of the prisoners et the Lime rick Special Commission the Crown bas wisely put aside the encumbering forms connected with the charge of high treason, which could have no object now but to enable the judge to pronounce sentence of death which would not be executed. It is well to avoid everything that looks unreal in these solemn proceedings. Time is saved, and the pretext for false sympathy with the criminals is removed, while in the very terms of the charge justice is tempered with mercy, and reaches its object more directly and surely. Yesterday Mr. Coffey, coun sel for the priioners, endeavoured to shake the testimony against them, and to show that it was all tainted by the evidence of informers. But Mr. Justice Keogh, while agreeing that great caution should be used in dealing with such evi dence, showed that in this case the jury had no less than ten witnesses deposing to Walshe's complicity, either in connection with the Fenian conspiracy or the attack upon Kama Hock, the greater number of whom could not be regarded as tainted. The same might be said of Bradley and Riordon, their offence being aggravated by the attempt upon the life of Mr. Bourne. They were not, however, charged with this. It was simply introduced to support a portion of the case against the prisoners, and if they be lieved that it had not been fully proved they should let them have the benefit of the doubt, but other wise they should find a verdict of guilty. The jury had no difficulty in the matter. After retiring only five minutes they returned with a ver dict finding the three prisoners guilty, as you have already been informed by telegraph. The prisoners were sentenced respectively to 15, 10, and 7 years' penal servitude. Daniel Hennessy and John Sheehan were next put on their trial for the same offence, and some evidence for the prosecution was given, when the Court ad journed till this morning. A Limerick correspondent writing in the Daily Express protests against applying the title " General" to the convict Burke, stating that he never served in either of the American armies, and that he has been confounded with Brevet Brigadier-General Denis F. Burke, of the Irish Brigade, Federal army, a Fenian suspect in Mount joy Prison in 1866, and now a resident of New York city. The Waterford Standard states that the wrath of the populace broke out with such violence against the informer Corydon that the police had great difficulty in saving him while driving through the streets. The cab was almost smashed with stones, and several of the escort were struck. The Court of proprietors of the Bank of Ireland stock held their half-yearly meeting yesterday, and declared a dividend at the rate of 41- per cent. per annum, free of income-tax. For the payment of this the governor stated that it would be necessary to take about £4,000 from the rest fund. The re port was adopted, and, on the motion of Mr. King, seconded by Mr. Thom, thanks were voted to the gavernor and directors for their successful manage ment of the affairs of the bank for the last half-year. The motion for an injunction to restrain the Senate of the Queen's University from acting on the supplemental charter came before the Master of the Rolls 'yesterday. The motion was made by Dr. Ball, Q.C., on the part of William M'Connac and others, who have now become re lators in the suit that was argued twice and dis missed, the Attorney-General having given his name formally for the purpose . of having the ques tion of law settled. Mr. Lawson, Q.C., addressed the Court for the Senate, who were quite satis fied as to their legal right to confer degrees under the disputed charter. Bat the respon dents felt that their position was now changpd by the Course which the Attorney - General had thought proper to take in giving his official sanction to an information being filed at his suit, in which the same persons were named as relators who had been already declared to be destitute of any interest in the matter. It was sought to be established by the Attorney-General in this petition that her Majesty's charter did not confer upon the Senate of the University those powers upon which they considered themselves authorised to act, and would be still prepared to act, and feel ing this they did not think it fitting to enter upon an unseemly contest with the Crown for the pur pose of establishing that her Majesty's Royal char ters did grant powers which the Attorney-General now insists were not thereby given. They, there fore, did not intend to appear upon, or take any part in, the pending motion, or in reference to the information, or to take any further steps towards carrying the supplemental charter into execution. Mr. Dix said he appeared for the Attorney-General. Having read the judgment of his lordship in the former case, and seeing that there was a serious question to be decided, the Attorney-General thought it would be wrong for him to refuse his sanction to the information. The Master of the Rolls stated that, after this assurance of Mr. Lawson, there was no necessity for an interim injunction, and the matter should stand over till the question of the validity of the charter was decided. The Secretary of State for War has appointed Major E. C. Manus, late Barrackmaster at the Curragh Camp, to be Principal Barrackmaster in Ireland, with the rank of colonel, vice the late Colonel R. A. Daniell. Having been engaged in the formation of the Currah Camp, and had charge of it in a similar capacity for a period of nine years, he won the respect and confidence of all parties, and acquired an amount of practical experience such as few enjoy. It is therefore gratifying to find that his long and valuable services have obtained this mark of appreciation and approval. Colonel Mucus has already arrived in Dublin to enter upon the duties of his office. At Limerick the trial of Hennessy and Sheehan, resumed this morning, terminated at half-past 2 o'clock, when the jury returned, after five minutes' deliberation, with a verdict of guilty, and a recom mendation to mercy. Twenty-eight of the strangers who landed near Dungarvan on Saturd:iy week left here by this after noon's train for Dublin, wrier the esc ort, of 42 police. RUSSIAN AMERICA. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The "New Monthly Magazine" has an article on Russian America which is worth notice, though conceived in a foolish spirit of hostiity to the Great Republic. When Peter the Great was on his death bed he drew up the plan of an expedition to settle the question of connection, or not, between Wes tern America and Eastern Asia. He had com pleted his conquest of the vast dominions of Nor thern Asia, and, though interrupted in his work by death, the Empress Catherine resolved to carry out his ideas, and intrusted the task to a Dane in her service named Behring. This officer after many difficulties discovered the Straits, and in 1741 sighted the Continent. He effected a landing near Mount St. Elias, and continued along the coast till baffled by its windings and the dangers of navi gating among numerous islands. Behring was ulti mately wrecked on an island off the coast of Kamt schatka, where he died miserably, though most of the crew regained their native land. During that century many expeditions were fitted out, chiefly of the Hudson Bay Company, founded in 1669. In 1770 Hearne explored the Copper Mine River, and in 1789 Sir Alexander Mac kenzie navigated the river which bears his name, from Lake Athabasca down to the Arctic Ocean. The boundary between British and Russian America was in 1825 defined as extending along an arbitary line, drawn on the parallel of 141 deg. west longitude from Mount Robinson or Demarcation Point on the Arctic Ocean to Mount Elias on the North Pacific, whence it was made to stretch further southwards, embracing, however, only a narrow lateral of ten marine leagues in . depth, with several large and small islands. " These limits have been adhered to in the cession made to the United States, with the addition of a westerly extent of limit, by which the island of SL Lawrence is included in the newly-acquired ter ritory. The line there passes midway between the island of Altoo, which is the most westerly of the Aleutian group, and the Copper Island of the Kor mandorski group, in the Pacific Ocean, to the meridian of 193 deg. west longitude, which is sup posed to mean 167 deg. of longitude east of Green wich, so as to include in the territory the whole of the Aleutian islands east of that meridian. The island of Altoo lies in the parallel of 172 deg. east of Greenwich. This arrangement gives to the United States the whole of the Sea of Behring, or Kamtschatka, as also Behring Straits, but it is not said if it is meant also to include the half of the North Pacific Ocean ! " Baronoff first built a fort on the island that bears his name, which was destroyed by the natives in 1802 ; but two years afterwaids the Russians expelled them, and founded near one of their vil lages the present town of Sitka on a spacious har bour. Offering good anchorage, Sitka is surrounded by mountains, in great part covered with excellent timber, which has given to the settlement the means of shipbuilding on an extensive scale. There are about one thousand inhabitants in this town, main tained chiefly by the trade in furs, though a large quantity of fish is caught. Some two thousand tons of shipping carry on this trade, which is confined to Vancouver, California, and the Sand wich Islands, whence the salt is imported used in curing the fish. Grain is procured iu California, as the climate is too humid to grow it in these islands. There are not on an average from 60 to 70 days in the year free from rain. Snow is frequent during three or four months, but does not lie long on the ground, and it is rare for frost to continue for ten days together. Excepting Sitka, the Russian had no important station on the coast. To the north the country is of a very Alpine and sterile character, for the most part wrapped in eternal snow. The primitive moun tains of granite or slate rise in some places imme diately from the sea, running in ranges which reach an elevation of 10,000 feet, their flanks in more southern latitudes clad with pines and birch, and in some favoured spots with alder, the sum mits being constantly covered with enormous masses of ice, which often detach themselves and roll down with a fearful noise into the valley below, which they entirely fill up, or into the rivers and bays, where, remaining without melting, they rise in banks of crystal. Northwards the pine forests give place to dwarf trees and shrubs, and these to heath, heathworts, grasses, a few flowering plants, mosses, and lichens, constituting vast swamps and marshes. The animals, though fewer in number, are the same as met with in British Columbia—the great deer, the wapiti, the elk, and the carebon, as also the black-tailed deer, the fallow deer of the Pacific, besides Arctic hares and rabbits. The beaver in some rivers, black bears and grizzly bears, as well as Polar bears. Racoons are numerous in some parts. Two species of marten, the yellow-breasted or pine marten, and one of a white colour, of which the skins are in request, and collected in numbers by fur-traders, being worth from Gs. to Bs. each. There are also minks and skunks. The seal and other skins are the most sought. The land otter is of little value, but the skin of the sea otter, undressed and measuring six feet, is worth thirty blan kets, or from £l2 to £l4. This skin is of the highest value in China, as well as that of the silver fox. There are red and black wolves, squirrels and marmots, swans, geese, ducks, plovers, snipe, and some land game are met with ; and the seas and inlets, bays and rivers south of the Arctic circle, are literally alive with fish. Salmon are so numerous that some of the rivers have actually been known to become offensive from the putrid bodies of such as have failed to make their way up the various falls. Constantine, on an island in Prince William's Sound ; a factory on Cook's Inlet ; a fort on Nor ton Sound, with a trading fort in the interior, and one on Colville River, with Alexdrovsk in Bristol Bay and Sitka, constitute the permanent settlements on the coast, and the interior of a country equalling Greenland in severity of climate. .Esquimaux have been met with at favourable points on the coast, and Indians. The " Slave" and Dog-robed Indians were found on the Mackenzie, as well as the Dc guthee Dinees. Indians are the hunters for the factors. A considerable traffic is carried on in the ivory tusks of walrates, which are exchanged fur Russian kettles and knives. Esquimaux met with even to the east of Point Barrow spoke of trading with other natives, exchanging furs and ivory for Russian articles. These Esquimaux are Mongolian, unlike those of north-eastern America, of European origin. Their summer residences •and hunting grounds are on the sterile islands lying off the coast ; their winter residences are on a short distance inland, upon the Main. From the abundance of seals and fish the northern coast of America may be considered as sparsely in habited. The coast east of Point Barrow is de scribed as being one vast plain, the soil of a dark blue clay, without a stone or elevation to break its strange monotony. From the beach the eye ranges over an immense green flat, variegated with moss; grass, and flowers, and broken here and there by fine sheets of fresh water. The landscape is strangely novel, and totally unexpected in the near neighbourhood of a sea of eternal ice. Russian America produces so little that the colony has been a failure from the beginning. It was hoped by Russia that the settlement would give employment to fishermen and trappers, and be a nursery for seamen. But this result has not been obtained, and notwithstanding all the support of the Government to support the Russian America for pay, which has had the monopoly of the trade and the management of the settlement, the society has been far from prosperous. The shares, which were originally issued at 150 roubles, had fallen to 85 roubles, and at that price there were no buyers ; no dividends have been paid for several years, and the Company was considered on the eve of bank ruptcy. MiEcellaneous Foreign News. The Minnesota reached New York on the 6th, the City of Washington on the 7th, and on the 9th the Inman steamship City of Paris, and the Bremen, of the North German Lloyd's Company. The America, of the same company, arrived on the 12th. The Cunard steamersil/a/ta arrived at New York on the 11th, and the Persia on the 13th. The Cimbria and the Mississippi arrived on Thursday, the 13th, and the Peruvian at Boston. During last week considerable sums were received from America. The imports of specie into England amounted to about £27o,o39,including2BB,ooo by the Palmyra, from New York ; £6,000 by the Saxonia, £31,000 by the England, £83,642 by the Guiding Star, £4,400 by the New York, and £26,100 by.the Java. The Mandingo, from the West Coast of Africa, also brought £8,139; and about £22,758 in silver was received from , the Continent. The ex ports were confined chiefly to remittances to the Continent through private sources, estimated at about £319,325. A telegram from Hong Kong, April 29, via Trieste, states that Nankin, Kirmgakow, and Nouchow will shortly be declared open for foreign commerce. The Etendard on Wednesday evening said that the session of the Legislative Body in Paris will not be closed, till the bills on the press, public meetings, army reorganisation, and the budget have been voted. It is stated that the committee on the new press bill have adopted an amendment proposing the reduction of the stamp duty by one centime. _ The North German Constitution will be officially promulgated in the States.of the Confederation, the last week iu June. A telegram from Bombay, May 20 (via Trieste), informs us that the annual cotton report of the cot ton department states. that 939,697 bales were ex ported from the Bombay Presidency last year. At Bombay money is abundant, and a good demand prevails for cotton and piece goods. News has arrived that a considerable quantity of rain has fallen on the coast and some parts of the interior of Central America, doing considerable damage to the cochineal crop. _ . _ A duel took place on the 1 I th at La Celle between Viscount Jacques de la Touche, editor of the Pays, and M. Floquet, advoc Ste. The seconds had arranged that the affair should terminate on either of the combatants receiving a wound sufficiently serious to disable him. The weapons were swords, which the editor appeared as well able to handle as his pen, for M. Floquet was, after a few minutes, wounded in the hand, and on the en counter being continued received a second hurt, which the surgeon declared to be serious. Honour being thus satisfied, the parties left the ground. The affair arose from an article in the Pays, written by M. Cassagnac, reflecting strongly on M. Floquet, who, according to this, was one of the legal gentle men that, on the visit of the Czar to the Palais de Justice, saluted him with the cry of " Vive la l'ologne !" Perhaps M. Cassagnac, had he been at liberty, would have done his own fighting, but he appears to have been engaged in, a similar affair with one of the editors of to Soleil, and with - a like result. Secretary Seward has received a reply to,his appli cation to Juarez for mercy to Maximilian, in case the Emperor should fall into his hands. Juarez, it is said, declines to interfere, and signifies this rudely. There is an ill-feeling arising between the party now in power in Mexico and the United States. There was a report that Maximilian's life had been spared in the hope of extracting a heavy ransom. It is difficult to believe that the chiefs of the Juarez party could be so insanely wicked as to gratify the lowest feelings of cowardly cruelty at the expense at which the life of Maximilian only could be taken. It is, however, impossible for Europeans to calcu late on the ruling passions of these mongrel Indians, and, therefore, what has bean Maximilian's fate time alone can prove. The Times is perhaps the best of judges in the art of shuffling round the circle, and Horace Greeley may well be proud of the admiration it expresses for his late performance. The conduct of that gen tleman is " alike creditable," says the Times," to his humanity and to his political judgment." But for all that, we may add, it is strangely inconsistent. Had Mr. Greeley not come so prominently forward to denounce the Southern chief, his conduct in be coming security for his political enemy would have excited little attention, and, perhaps, only admira tion. But one man cannot denounce another in the terms in which Horace Greeley has denounced Jefferson Davis, and then publicly hold out the right hand of fellowship, without some plau sible explanation of his motives. If he does, he must not be surprised that his act provokes harsh comment. His intentions may now be very pure, but what then were his former denunciations ? These allegations may have been true, firmly be lieved in by himself, and a public duty to expose ; but, if so, what is now his moving spring ? Let him frankly acknowledge that Jefferson Davis is not the man he painted him, nor his cause that, he so constantly sketched in suoh startling colours, that he was wrong in attributing to the late captive the frightful crimes which so many years filled the columns of the Tribune. Let him honestly say this, and we will understand the position, but not, like the 7 Imes, swing round, without the slightest regard for consistency, working on the opposite tack with out any acknowledgment of error. From the following paragraph it will be seen that it is easier even in winter to bowl across the Atlantic to England before strong westerly gales than in sum mer to return: —The yacht Vesta arrived at New York on Wednesday, 29th May, after a stormy passage of 32 days from Cowes. It is reported that a part of the crew attempted to mutiny on the passage, demanding that the boat return to England. The difficulty arose from the fright caused among the men by a terrible storm. At 6 o'clock on the morning of May 15 Quere taro was captured by Eseobedo, Maximilian, with the whole garrison, having surrendered at discretion. In announcing the event, Escobedo states that, " at 3 o'clock that morning the Cruz Fort was taken by surprise ; the enemy, thrown thus into disorder, cancentrated on the Campanas height. In his re treat thither he was raked by our artillery, which increased his confusion. The whole garrison was at length made prisoners, and all the war material captured.

On Friday, the 7th instant, the Java arrived at Queenstown from New York with 194 cabin passen gers and $130,500. On Sunday the Cunard extra steamship Tripoli arrived with 91 passengers, and the same day the extra Inman steamer Etna. On Monday evening the North German Lloyd's steamer Hansa arrived at Southampton with 148 passengers and $82,039, having left Ne York 30th May. On the same day the City of Baltimore arrived at Queenstown, having left New York on the Ist inst. with 92 passengers and $105,000. The Hamburgh and American steamship Germania arrived at South ampton on Tuesday, from New York on the Ist inst., with 171 passengers and $B,OOO, and the Manhat tan of the Guiou Line, at Queenstown, the same day. The Pennsylvania was off Queenstown on Wednes day. Oa Thursday the New York and Bremen steamship Atlantic reache I tiu same port, having also left New York on the Ist June. The Southern Relief Comrhittee of New York have published reports from various districts of the South, and the state of want and distress prevailing throughout. Many have died, and many more would have perished had not the North aided them in their time of noel. But large contributions are still required, for a critical period has yet to be passed before the crops come in. The newspapers are doing their duty in this matter, and we have every confidence that the much-required help will be forthcoming. The Levant Herald announces that the veritable Asiatic plague has appeared at Kerbelah on the Euphrates. The news arrived by telegraph from Bagdad. The strictest quarantine is to be observed. Out of two settled Arab tribes which it has attacked —l,OOO strong— 100 have been carried off. Four thousand inhabitants of the districts of Croatia entered Fiume in procession last Thursday, bearing a petition for union with the Hungarian Littoral. If the Washington correspondent of the Cincin nati Commercial truly states the circumstances, Judge Cartter endeavoured to shuffle General Grant off the course in the race for the Presidency, that Ben Wade might take up the running, but he found the General precisely what Lee found him at Richmond, very obstinate, and with a dogged de termination to gain his end. " The Judge, in his most impressive manner, announced to the General that the time had arrived to decide whether he was to be a candidate for the Presidency on the Republican ticket. It would not do to continue in his padlocked condition; the public were looking for the coming man. If he were going to come it was time he was coming along. He wanted to know if he would be a candi date, and if so whether he would object to having Benjamin F. Wade upon the same ticket as a candidate for the vice-Presidency. The General gave his traditional cigar an extra twirl in his mouth, remarking that these were rather plain and direct questions. This the Judge endorsed, while continuing to press them. After a minute's de liberation the Commander-in-Chief replied that he really did not feel desirous of becoming President of the United States, that he had been honoured and trusted in a degree that was a surprise to him self, yet he felt that, if the people c died upon him to become a candidate for the Presidency of the party that had been for the. war for the preservation of the Union he could not feel he was at liberty to decline. As a matter of course he could have nothing whatever to say as to the second person on the ticket. That, as well as the first place on the ticket, was a matter for the wisdom of the people to determine, and he certainly could have no objection to B. F. Wade, of Ohio. All of which was taken by the Ben Wade party, represented at this inter view by Chief Justice Cartter, to mean in so many words that General Grant was and would be a candidate for the Presidency. Ihis result has, in THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 17. 1867. some degree, cooled the ardour of the Wade party, but they are full of life, and cannot be said to have abandoned the field." Hon. A. G. Curtin, the popular Governor of Pennsylvania during the war, has been ordered to the Baths of nomburgh. Hon. E. B. Washburn has gone to Raggatz, Switzerland under the advica of physician, to take the warm baths there. His health, though not completely restored, is better than it was in Paris. Mr. Wm. Cullen Bryant, one of the proprietors of the New Yoi k Evening Post, and renowned as a poet, is stopping for a while in Paris with his son-in-law, Park Godwin. George W. Smalley, one of the editors of the New York Tribune, has been appointed special corre spondent of that paper to reside in London, and has ar rived. Senator Doolittle has arrived in Europe, and has gone to Russia on a secret mission. Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, Primate of the United States, is about to leave for Remo to assist in the celebration of tho 18 hundredth anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Peter on the 29th June. It is said he will return with a Cardinal's hat, the first ever bestowed on an American. Garibaldi has issued invitations for a Freemasons' Congress at Naples, to be held at the same time as the cen tenary of St. Peter at Rome. Mr. Jefferson Davis has arrived at St. Catharine's in Canada. He was enthusiastically received and cheered at Toronto, en route to his destination. Attorney-General Stanbery is in New York, under the treatment of an oculist. Juarez was the son of poor parents, Zapotek In dians, and was early brought by them to the capital of his State, and put out to service with a wealthy family. It is stated that the Queen of Spain will visit Rome during the approaching celebration in July. General Sherman has felt it to be his duty to relinquish his intention of joining a party of tourists to the Holy Land, on account of the Red Indian disturb ances. General Hancock, commanding a body of troops engaged in the war with the Indians, writes :—" We have practically, between the Platte and the Arkansas, the two important Pacific railroads, the overland mail and tele graph lines, and the three great routes of travel by the Platte, the Smoky Hill, and the Arkansas. Within this belt of country, war is being carried on against the Sioux and Cheyennes, and as we cannot with certainty, or intel ligently, distinguish a wild Indian of one tribe from those of another, the war for the present is practically against all wild Indians between the Platte aid tho Arkansas." President Johnson has accepted the hospitalities of the city of Richmond, and was to remain at the Spottis wood Hotel one night, and proceed to Raleigh next day. Secretary Browning has gone home to Illinois. Congressman Ingersoll, of Illinois, is going to Europe. President Johnson has written a letter to Breckin ridge similar in purport to that of Mr. Greeley, inviting him to come home. The murder charge against Surratt will be abandoned, and he will be tried for treason and conspiracy, if for anything. Representative John F. Farnsworth, of Illinois, has gone to North Carolina, and will speak at several places in that State and Georgia. J. M. Langston, a coloured lawyer from Oberlin, Ohio, has started for an ex tended tour of the Southern States. Dr. E. M. Brown, coloured, of Baltimore, has gono to canvass Southern Virginia. These all go as missionaries of the Congres sional Committee. A Gold Medal has been awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Walter A. Wood's Mowing Machine. We regret to hear that 3fr. Wood is dangerously ill at his home at Ifoosiae, N.Y., and was too unwell to attend the funeral of his wife. A party of Radical Senators, with B. F. Wade at their bead, are engaged in an excursion along the line of the Union Pacific Railroad in the direction of the Rocky Mountains. COMMERCIAL. NEW Youx, June 1, 1867. Last Saturday's steamer took out $838,211, and on Wed nesday $130,500 in specie went to Europe, making the total for the year close on $17,000,600. The import of specie from California amounted on Saturday to $568,998, making the total from the commencement of the year $10,503,812. Gold has been firmer. On Wednesday it advanced 1 per cent. This is in consequence of Mr. M'Culloch's letter. The Sec retary wrote to the Boston merchants declining an invita tion to a public dinner, and took the occasion to dwell at length on financial affairs. He did this last year on de clining a similar invitation, when he warned Congress against extravagant appropriations. He now shows them the effects of their lavish expenditure. But his letter has imparted confidence to the Stock and Money Markets, as it defines a distinct policy. Uncertainty is the bugbear of our financial affairs. We never know what Congress will do, as it is capable of doing any possible thing ; - whether Protection or Free Trade will be in the ascendant; what it is going to tax-or what to exempt. Wo now know that the greenback currency will not bo further contracted for some indefinite period, and this, of course, sends up gold. The Government expenditure for the quarter ending March3l was $232,741,052, and receipts $239,241,854. There is a balance now in the Treasury of more than $130,000,000, which, with gold, has strengthened railway and miscellaneous stock, though no great anima tion is yet apparent. More freight is said to be carried on both the Erie and New York Central than last year, but not at remunerative rates. They are moving on both lines to cu t off the profitless portion of their traffic, and secure, as far as possible, their earnings for the proprietors.

Business generally on the Stock Ex change had been on a somewhat limited scale. Tho Go vernment Funds maintained their price, but the demand had sensibly diminished. Mr. M'Culloch's letter to the Boston merchants had ex cited great attention, and the conclusion drawn from it, that, for some time, no further large contraction of the currency would be possible, had in some quarters induced operations for a rise in quotations, but the speculative purchases had produced uo effect on the market. The Assistant-Treasurer had notified that after the Ist of June ho would be prep.ired to purchase, at current market rates, the second and third series of Seven-Thirties, the purchase of the first series having been suspended. Of this issue there is only now about one-fourth of the whole amount outstanding, in July. and they will be paid off at maturity Railroad stocks at ono time exhibited a slight upward tendency, but quotations subsequently gave way, and there was a decline all round, with the exception of Il linois Central, of from one to three per cent. from the pre vious week.

PARIS, June 14 (Via Queenstown) We have little of interest to report in our market, no thing having occurred during the past week to disturb the existing calm. Notwithstanding limited transactions, and almost entire absence of speculation, prices have been - well maintained, the great abundance of money and favourable advices from other centres contributing to occasion much firmness. But little business has b een done in Americans, and very trifling variations have occurred in values. Wo quote as follows, — Juno 7 8 77 10 „ 11. ~ 12 • 13 The Route closes at 70.50.

Exchange on London. 28.19 In our circular of May 10 we gave our readers a state ment of the shipments of grain from San Francisco, Cali fornia, for the month ending the 29th March. We now append a similar table for the succeeding month, which we have received from our Correspondents in that city, showing a very large further increase in exports. LITERARY. Don D. F. Sarmiento, Minister of the Argentine Republic, proposes issuing at intervals a pamphlet entitled " Ambas Americanas." The object of the publication, which will be printed in Spanish, is to increase our knowledge of South America, and espe cially of the valley of the La Plata. If successful, the pamphlet will, it is presumed, become a regu larly published magazine. The Round Table remarks that the notable cir cumstance escaped observation in New York that on the 29th or 30th of April just two hundred years had passed from the day on which Milton gave his receipt for the £5 that bought the copy right of " Paradise Lost." From the same paper we extract the following notice of The American Educational Monthly : Without the rampant self-assertion, characteristic of most educational enthusiasts, it discusses with ear nest common sense the short-comings of our public schools, revealing a condition of things that ought to be known beyond the limits of the profession it addresses. There are no parents who might not derive large benefit from a monthly peru sal of this little magazine, and few teachers of the old regime that would not be put to con fusion at the distance they have been left behind by the advance of educational science. Particu larly desirable, we should think, for teachers are the resume of events in the department of Educational Intelligence, and the clear and candid statements of the unusually well-done reviews of text-books and other works which come within the peculiar province of the teacher. Another publication deserving more unmingled praise than can often be awarded to so new an at tempt in a fresh field, is the American Naturalist, the admirable monthly of the Essex Institute. Adapted both to scientific and ordinary readers, it is neither below the level of the one nor above that of the other, and while the former may read it with instruction, the layman, if a lover of nature, will do so understandingly and with delight. For the rest, the typography is beautiful and the illustra tions abundant and faultless. A new publication, to be entitled the Canoe Club Magazine, is talked of. The Canoe Club was formed July, 1866, and has already above 100 members and claims—H.R.H. the Prince of Wales commodore. The first sailing match of the season took place on Saturday last at Erith. Many mem bers of the club, after the race, dined at the Pier Hotel, the captain presiding, and the mate in the vice chair, when, after a very pleasant evening, they parted, all promising accounts of their trips and journeys in various countries when the club meets again in the autumn, for publication in the Canoe Club Magazine, which it is hoped will be issued about Christmas, and contain all that may be in teresting on the subject of canoes. The Round Table says that Mr. Arthur Rose— better known as tile Mrs. Brown of Fun and the Arthur Sketchley of various English periodicals— has under consideration the expediency of visiting America next winter on a tour somewhat similar to the projected one which in poor Artemus 'Ward's case came to so melancholy a termination. Mrs. Brown is as yet scarcely as well known here as Artemus was in England, but we have little doubt the entertainment—which, we are told, carries Mrs. Brown to Paris—would be vastly popular. Mr.'R. Barnwell Rhett is collecting materials, according to the prevalent custom, for a history of the war. Colonel T. W. Higginson, it now seems, does not intend publishing a novel, as was rumoured. Mr. Thomas Dunn English is understood to be writing a poem on the battle of Monmouth. Miss Adelaide Wood, of New Orleans, is spoken of by the Southern papers as a new writer of great talent, whose literary efforts have, as yet, taken only the form of contributions to magazines, but from whom we may soon expect something more ambitious. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. Secretary M'Culloch has sought occasion, in correspondence with some Boston gentlemdn, to bring before the public these new and interesting facts and opinions on American finance. You must not expect, however, that our monthly state ments for the rest of the present and the early part of the next fiscal year will be as satisfactory as they have been for many months past. Thedonations or bounties to soldiers, preparations for a threatening Indian war, even if the war itself should be avoided, and very liberal appropriations of a miscellaneous character, will cause unusually heavy drafts to be made upon the treasury; while , ou theother hand, the general failure of the wheat crop and the partial failure of the corn crop last year, slow progress in the restoration of the Southern States to their proper relations with the Federal Government, the dullness of trade throughout the country—partly the result of a decrease of production, and partly of the natural reaction which always follows periods of excitement and speculation, together with re duced taxes, will very considerably affect our re venues. This combination of adverse circumstances may retard a return to specie payments, and with large issues of bonds to be made to the Pacific Rail road and its branches or divisions, will prevent for a brief season a reduction of the public debt, and may even render a temporary increase of it unavoidable, but it will not weaken my faith in our ability to move on again in the right direction at an early day. On the contrary, I believe that this check to our progress will lead to improvements in our re venue laws and to an increase of efficiency in their execution, hasten the representation in Congress of the Southern States, and secure greater economy in all branches of the public service. Some surprise may exist that I have not for some months past reduced the circulation of United States notes according to the authority conferred upon me by Congress, and an inference may be drawn from it that my opinion upon the subject of contraction has undergone a change. Permit me to say, there fore, that I am as much persuaded as ever of the importance of 'an early return to specie payments, and of a reduction of the currency, as a means of checking extravagance and speculation, and of in creasing production, without which all efforts to restore permanently the specie standard will be ineffectual. What the country needs, in order that specie payments may be resumed and maintained, and real prosperity secured, is an increase of indus try and a restoration of our former habits of economy. As a people, among ourselves, we must earn more and spend less. In our trade with foreign nations we must sell more or buy less. Any diffe rent prescription for existing financial evils is in my judgment, quackery. 'That contraction will tend to bring about this desirable' condition of things, I never doubted, but I have nevertheless suspended the reduction of the circulation of United States notes, and for the following reasons, either of which would perhaps have justified my course, and all of which have had more or less influence in deter mining it. First. The views of the majority of the mem bers of Congress, as indicated by a number of votes last winter, were adverse to immediate contrac tion, and I have not liberty to place myself in prac tical opposition to the law-making branch of the Government, without whose support I must be powerless. Second. There have existed for some mouths past anxious forebodings of financial troubles, and while they continued, I have been apprehensive that a contraction of the currency, the object and effect of it being misunderstood or misinterpreted, might. produce a panic in the commercial cities, which, extending over the country and beyond the speculative interests, would injuriously affect legitimate business and the revenue dependent upon it. Third. Large amounts of interest-bearing notes are to be paid or converted within the present and and next fiscal year, to which it seemed prudent for me first to direct my attention, leaving the question of a curtailment of the circulating notes to be determined, from month to month, by the condition of the country and of the Treasury. Fourth. Anticipating that the failure of the crops and the other circumstances Alluded to would seriously affect business, I have considered it im portant that the public mind should not be diverted by the criticisms and complaints of those who are opposed to contraction from the real cause of trouble, that a sound policy should not be put in peril by being made the " scapegoat" for evils resulting from different causes. You will not infer from what I have written that lam not hopeful in regard to our financial future. It has been my constant aim so to manage the national finances as to aid in bringing the coun try to a healthy financial condition, without being subjected to the severe disasters which many judicious persons have supposed a large debt and the derangement of business, and the diminution of industry occasioned by the war and a redundant currency, would render inevitable. My faith that this can be accomplished is unshaken. The causes which are now operating against us are exceptional and temporary. The prospect of a good crop of winter wheat was never better. More spring wheat has been sown and more corn has or will be planted this season, than ever before. The people are beginning to comprehend again this important truth, which seems to have been disre garded for some years past, that prosperity is the result of labour, and that industry and economy are indispensable to national as well as to individual wealth. I shall be grievously disappointed if an other year does not witness a large increase of in dustry, of enterprise and of revenue, decided pro gress towards a resumption of specie payments, and a steady reduction of the public debt. RULE OF THE ROAD FOR STEAMERS. A letter has appeared in the Standard, signed H. D. G., drawing attention to the written opinion of Mr. J. A. W. Harper, Secretary to the Associa tion for the Protection of Commercial Interests, Lloyd's, on this important subject. The writer states that Mr. Harper, in the course of his duty, has had to investigate most of the cases of collision which have occurred on our coasts for some time past, and has consequently given these rules his deepest consideration, and he now proposes by a set of dia grams, geometrically constructed, to demonstrate both positions of safety, and danger, and they may be summed up in this. Positions of safety are-1. A green light on the starboard side, 2. A red light on the port side. 3. Either red or green right ahead. 4. Both side lights in any position but that of right ahead. In all of which vessels may and should keep their courses without risk of collision. Positions of danger are-1. Both'side lights right ahead. 2. A red light on the starboard side. 3. A green light on the port side. And of these, having the red light four points or more on the starboard bow is the one of the greatest danger. In all of these three positions vessels are to port until they bring their lights to correspond, bearing in mind that to deal with the extreme case mentioned above, the vessel having the other on her starboard side is to stop. These arc only intended to be gene ral rules, applicable under ordinary circum stances, as it is clear that in foggy or bad weather a vessel may come suddenly on another, when everything must depend upon the ability of the officer in command. It is also suggested that if it could be ascertained, many of the otherwise in explicable causes of collision would be attributable to the very inferior lights used in all ships, whether of the naval or mercantile marine. In many lamps the ventilation is so imperfect that in two or three hours the glass gets clouded with its own smoke, the lamp has to be removed to be cleansed and trimmed, very few lamps have the regulation arc of ten points, or are of the brilliancy which is of so much importance. 7HE UNITED STA7ES AS REPRESENTED IN IIIE EXHIBITION. ---~_. ----- The Commission are fortunate in the_selection of Professor Charles Joy, of Columbia College, as permanent secretary. This gentleman, with hi, large experience and practical knowledge, will be of great service in the preparation of the practical report. In connection with the hasty preparation of the general catalogue our attention has been called to the following correspondence which we copy from the Panthe'on «A Monsieur le Redacteur-en-Chef du Pantheon. 6 , Dear Sir,—l wish to call your attention to the fact of your having forgotten, in your article upon the French group, to mention the United States. In spite of the enormous distance between the two continents we have brought over and erected in the Champs de Mars a schoolhouse, such as there are, probably 50,000, in different parts of our country. These schools are open, without dis tinction, to . all children, whether whites or coloured; and a visit to the model schoolhouse in the Champ de Mars will suffice to prove that no nation in the world offers equal advantages with the United States as regards liberal and popular education. Trusting that you will rectify the errors I have pointed out, I have the honour to remain, &c., "CHARLES B. NORTON, " United States Commissioner." While gladly accepting the communication which Colonel Norton has been so obliging as to make to us, we beg to assure him that the omission in ques tion did not arise from our fault. We copied the table which we published from the official catalogue; and the examination we have since made convince: us that the name of the United States does not ap pear either in the nomenclature at the head of group ten, or in the chapters devoted to foreign countries. We trust that the next edition of the catalogue will repair this omission, but Col. Norton must feel that we are not responsible for it. We were so fully aware of the lead taken by the United States in popu lar education that we attributed the presumed omis sion of that country to the consciousness of its sure riority, as is proved by the last paragragh but one of the observations we made upon the table of the tenth group. Now that our attention has been drawn to the school-house shown by the United States we shall visit it with all the attention it deserves, convinced that it will be, in many respects, worthy of praise. CH. DELESCLUSE. " Sarni)°, whar did you suffer most in de war? " In de-feat, to be shua." A waggish journalist, who is often merry over his personal plainness, tells this story of himself : " I went to a drug store early the other day for kl dose of morphine for a sick friend. The night clerk objected to giving it to me without a prescription. evidently fearing that I intended suicide. Pshaw ! said 1, do I look like a man who would kill him self ? ' Gazing at me steadily for a moment, he replied—' I don't know. Seems to me, if I looked like you, I should be greatly tempted to kill my self.' " A farrier having facilities for renovating old furs, advertised in a perfectly grammatical manner, " Capes, victorines, &c., made up for ladies, out of their own skins." PIGEON SHOOTING. The most numerous gathering of the season took place on Saturday at the Gun Club grounds, Wormholt Scrubby,. near Shepherd's-bush, to shoot for " The Members' Sandi' cap," at five birds each, under the usual conditions for prizes given out of the Club funds, "for members only NO°, have paid up their subscriptions for the current yea r. There were 127 entries. Mr. Charles Hambro (post en tered) won the second prize in the last handicap ; and his brother, Mr. Percival Hambro (also post entered), in tb° competition before that, won the second prize. On Satur day just one more than a moiety came up to the shooting point, and 1 o'clock was fixed for commencing, as it IY3B anticipated, from there being so many shooters, handicap would last all the day. The committee, however' decided that one bird missed should exclude, and conse quently the number of shots was much decreased, thoug as it proved, the result would not have been different hail the usual two shots, as at six birds, been allowed; for tbr , ° , l ° of the competitors killed all their bird-: and that lo n. have excluded those who missed one. The birds ire" favoured by a very strong breeze, so that the shooting was far below the a • andindeedofthe shots average, most failed to score. There were 139 birds shot at, and of these 65 were missed, so that the gentlemen must have been heavy losers, as 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 on the four was the cur rent state of t o ile odds.
