THE DUKE OF MONTPENSIER'S TRIAL. - - The trial of the Duke of Montpensier was not likely under any circumstances to present much difficulty; and what ‘ legal business really existed was much simplified by the confession of the culprit. He refused to lend himself to the subterfuge resorted to by his seconds—namely, that the death of Don Henri occurred through the accidental discharge of a pistol he was trying. To the legal in terrogatories of the Fiscal Le replied, without eva sion or prevarication, that his cousin - had died by his hands in the fatal duel of the 12th of March. Brigadier Vargas acted as prosecuting fiscal, and gave a lengthy exposition of the history of the case, claiming. the " punishment " which was afterwards actually inflicted. General Messina defended the Duke. He made a bril liant defence, detailing the persistency with which Don Henri had, without cause, insulted the Duke in private circles and in the public Press, and the patience of the Duke under these uncalled-for insults, until he felt it necessary, as an officer and a gentleman, to vindicate his honour and that of his family. The old General said: —" Military uniform among us can never consent to offence or dishonour, and, although the law condemns duelling, public opinion and our customs sanction it, so much so that I do not remember any instance within my time of sentence having been passed by any tribunal on the survivors of the many fatal duels which have occurred among us." He then pleaded the extenuating circum stances of the present case, and concluded by asking for a complete acquittal of the Duke, shewing that both by the Penal Code and by military ordinances the sen tences were designedly light where extenuating circum stancces could be proved, and, in fact, were left tntirely to the discretion of the Judges. Two declarations from the Duke of itontpensier were then put in and read. The first was - his admission of the deed and his justification of himself :—" For a long time the Infante Don Henri de Bourbon endeavoured to pro voke me. On the 21st of December, 1868, he published his first letter, a copy of which is annexed, in which I don't know which he tried to insult most, my ancestors, my family, or myself. On the 14th of January of the present year he published his second letter, directed to tbe Regent, in which he repeated the grossest insults against me. Not living in the place where he published these writings, I did not try to require expla nations from him respecting them, but on the 7th ult., both of us b e i ng i n M ad ri d, he published a fly-sheet entitled A. los Montpensieristas, which was circulated with great profu sion in all parts, and was even printed in some of the news papers. In it, as will be seen by the copy herewith, he repeated and augmented his insults to my person and my family, so much so that no one who values his honour and the good name of his family could have possibly allowed the matter to pass unnoticed. In view of such persistence in provocation, without my having •given any motive for it, and desirous of avoiding a scandal, I sent to him to ask if it was written by hlm, and he having replied that it was, and that he ratified it and assumed its resppnsibility, I saw myself under the neces sity of askin g from him a retractati on o f suc h insults. Not having been able to obtain any kind of satisfaction, we met in the Dehesa de los Carabanche les on the morning of the 12th of March. My Adjutant, Colonel Solis, accompanied me, and there appeared there also Generals Cordova and Alaminos, who, being informed of the question between us at my request came to an understanding with Don Henri and three persons who there met with him, and who I learnt were Don Federico Rubio, Don Emigdio Santamaria, and Don Andres Ortiz. After various fruitless attempts to come to an arrangement in presence of the six persona just mentioned, he refused to give me other satisfaction than with "arms, and my offended honour and that of my ancestors, as an officer and a gentleman, forbade me t..)e to accept it. The preliminaries and preparations being settled, 'v* both being placed opposite each other, the duel occurred. The Infante fired, and I answered, and so on successively, unti' my third dis charge I saw him fall to the ground with a mortal wound, from which he died. Greatly affected by this result, which I would have wished to have done everything to avoid, I retired to my h ouse , accompan i e d b y S enor Rubio and General Cordova, where I have been interrogated, and where I await the consequences to which this lament able act may give rise." The second document put in was the Duke's answer to the charges the Fiscal made against him, reminding him that the laws prohibit duelling. He observed that he did not deny the existence of those laws 5 his allegiance to them was proved by the patience with which he had suffered the provocations of Don Henri— "He insulted me publicly for the third time, not politically, for in that sphere he was freeto think what he liked about me, but in regard to what is most dear to every man—th e honour of his person and that of his family. Notwithstanding this I even yet took one step more towards conciliation. I did not credit the articles published with his name until I asked him ex pressly if they were his or not, expecting he would reflect upon the matter within himself. His answer was a fresh insult. In this situation I could not suffer in silence, red with shame, all the insults he had for more than a year been publicly directing against me. I was obliged to accept the only reparation he offered me—namely, to vindicate with arms the infamously calumniated honour of myself and my forefathers." After these documents had been read the court delibe rated, and then passed sentence of one month's banishment from Madrid, and 6,000 dollars indemnity to Don Henri's family. TIIE RED RIVER REBELLION. The New York Tribune reports a conversation which their correspondent at Prescott Junction held with Mr. Donald Smith, the Canadian Commissioner to the Red River insurgents. Mr. Donald Smith was previously attached to the Hudson's Bay Company, and this secured him a favourable recep tion at Foit Garry. He was asked to take oath not to take up arms against the insurgents, but declined to do so. He then asked if he was to consider himself a pri soner, and was answered in the negative, but in reality was under restraint. His papers, the Queen's letter, his commission, and public documents, were taken away from him. He demanded their return, but was refused. Afterwards, after almost daily representations to Riel, a public meeting of English and Fr enc h s e ttl ers was ca ll e d to receive him as Commissioner. At the mass meeting there was great excitement. Riel refused to give up his papers. After a rough debate, in which Riel warn ingly said, "I do not want to remember how I took a pistol at you before on that platform " referring to a former meeting at which he had threatened Mr. Smith, the meeting agreed to a delegation to Ottawa. The sub se q u e n t doings of the Convention were the formation of a Provisional Government, which was to be provisional or temporary in the strictest sense, and the appointment of a committee to arrange preliminaries for a basis of action. The committee men, with the exception of Riel, voted themselves into all the public offices, properly pertainin g to - the establishment of a govern ment, Riel being President. Public feeling was somewhat against Mr. Smith on his return to Ottawa, as it was, thought if he had urged his claim with proper force, as representing the Dominion, Scott's life would have been saved. The murder of a Canadian has excited the strongest indignation throughout the country, and the peopl are clamouring for immediate action. - Accounts from Ottawa state that Captain Rowe, of the Madoc Volunteer Company, of which Thomas Scott was a member, has written a letter to Colonel Brown, com mander of the regiment, expressing the ihdignation that was felt by the officers and men of the company at Scott's murder by Riel, and offering their services to go to Red River and avenge his death. AN ADVENTUROUS ENTERPRISE.—A little decked sampan has been fitted out at Singapore, destined for an enterprise that, whatever may be said of its prudence, is, at all events, testimony to the pluck of those who under take it. The adventurous crew consist of three—Captain Campbell Ma,efarlan, Capt. Hay Probyn, and Mr. George Freeman—who were lately cast away on the coast of Borneo, in the ship Sunshine. They arrived at Singapore some time ago, but have been unable to obtain employ ment, and rather than wait on, hanging lazily about in Singapore, exhausting the slender stock of means left to them after shipwreck, have bought, e , fitted out, and, stocked a little craft—measuring, when decked over, be tween four and five tons—in which they are about to brave the perils of a voyage of some 3,000 miles. They have given to their vessel the v e ry app ro p r i a t e name o f The Last Chance. She is cutter rigged, and has only one mast, so that the labour of working her will not be very heavy. The route they intend to pursue is down past the island of Java to Timor, which will be their first halting place. Thence they will make for the Gulf of Carpentaria, and then through Torres Straits to their destination. FANATICISM.—TWO curious instances of fanati cism are reported from Singapore. A Mahommedan priest, who also practised the curing of diseases by charms, in which he was not always successful, deter mined to increase his sanctity by a temporary departure to a better world. For this purpose he dug for him self a small cave under ground, into which he retired with a candle and a copy of the Koran, and requested his friends to cover the top of the cave with boards and earth, which they accordingly did. He had taken the .precaution to put a hollow bamboo through the covering, and through the bamboo a smaller stick, by which he could get air and communicate with his friends. After carefully covering him in, his friends retired till the next morning, when they pulled up the small stick from the bamboo and their signal was answered. On the next morning, however, and on two subsequent mornings no answer was returned, and the case h a ving been opened, the fanatic was found dead. A few days afterwards a Malay priest was about to follow his example, and large crowds had assembled to witness the ceremony, but the police interfered and prevented his com mitting an act of self-destruction. —Calcutta Englishman, March 22. TANTIA TOPER'S lIEAD.—A discussion is going. on in the India papers as to the fate of Tantia Topee's head, which was cut off after his execution for p ar ti c i pa . tion in the mutiny. The ltfofussilite has the following, :-- " Our Madras and Mysore contemporaries have been adorning their columns with biographical sketches of Colonel Meade, and very pleasant and instructive reading those sketches have been. They one and all, however, fail to throw light on, or even to mention, an incident in the gallant commissioner's Indian career which, in the interests of current history , the y should h ave elucidated. We allude to the mystery which. still envelopes the fate of the rebel Tantia, Tepee's head ! Tantia was hanged shortly after his capture, and—his head was cut off, and was carried to England in a keg Of spirits by—according t o th e accoun t prevalent at the time—Colonel, then Captain, Meade ! Its ultimate fate or destination we have never been able to learn. Is it in the British Museum, or in either of those at the Univer sities? Or has Colonel Meade, as one of the foremost R gai n h on e gs iri t Q Lh l e a re l re i b mws el's caVtorsl 4ccickci, thf4t shall be TIIE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1870. EASTER MONDAY AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY. Of all the gay holiday sights presented by London on Easter Monday, the most remarkable was Westminster Abbey. Notice had been given by the Dean and Chapter that Mondays would be free. On other days fees are charged for viewing the historic art treasures enshrined within its walls, while on this day of the week, and for the first holyday time, the people were able to pass un questioned over the building, except during the time of service, and were allowed to take their own view of things without the intervention of a guide. The result was that thousands of persons Passed through the building, nor was there any disorder. Of all the crowds which thronged east, west, north, and south, on Monday, those visiting,- the Abbey and its con tents were not only unexceptional as regards orderly conduct, but for the main part they were reverent and thoroughly appreciative of the place and its associa tions. The people who attended were to a very great extent of the " working classes" in the truest sense of the term, an d it was easy to see that there were present the artisan and labouring classes of nearly all grades, for all the workers are not in fustian —and they had come with all their households. There were, too, country tradesmen and country townsmen, a few "genteel people," a few farmers, and a tolerably good sprinkling of soldiers and sailors. It is, perhaps, worth while adding that there were none of a distinct class, known to all experienced in London life as the skulking class—the " working men " who never work. The visitors came in family groups, consisting, in some in stances, of three and four generations, for, in one group, a young mother was helping her " granny," who, on her own part, was informing her tender guide that the place was much thn same as it was when she was " a gal," a most remote period, judging from appearances. The people trooped in so fast that it was impossible to count them, but no less than 8,000 visited the chapels, while some 4,000 or 5,000 must have wandered in at the north door and out at the west with an idea that they had seen all that was to be seen. From chapel to chapel they passed, at some periods at the rate of 60 in a minute, and this for a considerable time. The Times observes that if any plea were needed for the removal of all difficulties in the way of a free intercourse with our history, "writ in stone," those crowds of Mon day would supply the plea in the general ignorance of throngs of English people concerning the place itself and its contents. The holiday people are not chary of giving information to their own class, and at any place of general and open resort, at the British Museum, or the Kensington establishment, an inquiry is soon answered froth several in an on-looking group; but in the Abbey chapels, where parties, in the widest extent of the word, were looking at monuments, there were no unprofessional guides who could give impromptu information from actual experience. It must be stated that on many of the most noteworthy monuments and relics notices had been placed, evidently by the thoughtful Dean, whose name is so intimately asso ciated with the Abbey; but the crowds hungered for more knowledge, a knowledge which acquaintance only can give. The visitors made the best use of their liberty, eyes, and knowledge, however limited the last may be, and groups were seen displaying all the enthusiasm of learned antiquarians in striving to decipher the words on some dusty monument. " There was no disorder seen ; there was a quiet observance of the regulations, and for hours the Abbey was enjoyed by as sober and as earnest a body of holyday makers as ever set out on a fine Easter to pass an interval of cessation from labour." GENERALS SHERMAN AND LOGAN. General SHERMAN has not chosen tamely to sub mit to the attack made upon him personally, and U. S. A. officers generally, by Mr. LOGAN in the House of Representatives. To understand the dispute, our English readers should know that much jealousy has existed between the volunteer and regular officers employed in the Civil War, that the leaders of the volunteers are Generals LOGAN, BUTLER, and BANKS ; that all three are able and powerful men, but having taken up the trade of soldiering in an emergency as amateurs, and stepped into the ranks as full-blown Generals, they, as might have been expected, made some grievous blunders, for which their regular brethren did not spare them. And as GRANT, SHERMAN, and other professional soldiers, bluntly recorded their opinions on the volunteer officers, they excited any but kindly feelings, of which they are now reaping the fruits. Mr. LOGAN'S attack on the Command ing General, and on the service over which he pre sides, was directed with great ability, and skilfully covered under the plea of economy. He thus touched the nation on a tender point and fastened its attention on his remarks, while Gen. Stimuli bad to sit in the House and listen. He had no means of repb ing except by letter, but he has done this in what, to him, must be a very lengthy com munication, written with great force, and bristling with points. LOGAN might have carried the day had his remarks not been directed against the most celebrated offiCers of the age, and those who had rendered the country a service it recognizes as be yond price. Ibis was HERMAN'S strong point 1' a well as LOGAN'S weak one ; and the General has used it with great effect. " What money," he asks, "will pay MEADE fcr Gettysburg? What SHERI DAN for Winchester arri Five Forks ? What THOMAS fur Chiekamanga, Chattanooga, or Nashville ? What Americans would tear these pag-s from our national history for the few dollars saved from their pay during their short lives ?" The bare facts, however, strongly favoured Mr. LOGAN, for General SHERMAN is pail $18,780 per year ; Chief Justice CHASE $6,500. Gen. SHERIDAN is paid $14,803 per year ; Vice-President COLFAX, $B,OOO General Li ALLECK is paid $9,862 per year; the Secretary of War, $B,OOO ; and precedence seems to have been awarded in much the same ratio. Now this, under ordinary circumstances, would not be right, for it places the Army in the higher instead of in the lower position, recognising force as superior to brains. But the circumstances are not ordinary ; for in the Army the nation now deals with men who have rendered the highest pos sible service, and at a very great sacrifice. SLIER MAN says mournfully—" Death is already doing his work among our veterans, it being susceptible of p roof that the death-rate among officers and soldiers of the late war, though they may have escaped the bullet, 13 at least double what is the case with civilians of like age and condition who stayed at home. The number of officers left in excess of the organization one year ago was 622 ; the number in excess to-day is 485, showing a diminution by death, &c., of 157." Well might he exclaim, " I confess, when listening to the debate in the llouse of Representatives on the Army Bill, and when an amendment was proposed to permit retired officers to hold civil office, I was pained to hear the remarks of many members, who seemed to think it something very wrong." The law of 1869, disbanding 20 regiments, pro hibited further promotions in the Staff Corps till Congress should remove the prohibition, and all the staff organization of the army is rapidly disappear ing. The General disputes LOGAN'S figures com paring the staff of the American with those of foreign armies; and a ids, to compel the PRESIDENT to discharge in terms of the bill four of his old Generals, who have served under him and fairly canted their commissions, would be the most un gracious task ever imposed on the Executive. To degrade the Brigadiers-General at the heads of Bureaux from their rank and pay to that of Colo nel is a cruelty none but soldiery can realize ; in deed he contends that such an act has never been done anywhere, except on conviction by a court formisde meanour or for incompetence. Even the promised _ _ swing of $3,000,000 would not be secured, f or it will merely be taken from the higher and given to the lower grades—and here we would ask our readers' attention to this fresh illustration of the truth of the remarks we recently male on Clan and Popular Governments. He cleverly turns the tables on those who have contrasted his own pay with that of the high civilians, remarking that it has " been a shame that a country, with 40,000,000 of people, should stint their Chief Justice and Cabinet Ministers as this Government now does." Had not some kind friends presented him with the house his predecessor bad occupied, he could not have lived on his salary. in keeping it up he has spent all and more than all his pay, as his position obliges him, did not his inclination, to treat hos pitably his Army friends who come from all guar- ters. " I claim that I have earned my past and present pay ; that during the war, when I com manded more men than the Duke of WELLINGTON had in Spain, my pay as Brigadier and Major- General was less than his private secretary's, and was so small that, though I lived on a sol dier's rations, my pay was not more than enough to maintain my family in Ohio." This bold, out spoken letter was addressed to the lion. HENRY WILSON, Chairman of the Senate Military Com mittee, and has had its effect on the country. Mr. LOGAN made a long reply from his place in the House on the 29th March. The clerk read General STIER MAN'S letter to the Beiresentatives, and, after term ing it extraordinary and remarkable, Mr. LoGa N went on to say that members of Congress had got that letter written, and it would better become them to deliver their own arguments than invite the General of the Army to make a speech for them. It ought not to have been written at all, and its ex traordinary feature was the use of such language from the General of the Army. Of course, Mr. LOGAN vq - as defending the taxpayers, the crippled soldiers, and the soldiers' widows, and resisting the usur pation of power in the hands of a few men. These men in high positions were not law-makers, but law-obeyers, and they must not dictate the amount of taxation to be paid for their benefit; " Whenever legislation becomes so stifled and crippled that a man who stood up for the people in a manly, honest, and proper spirit was to be at tacked in the columns of the newspapers by high officials,demanding that Congress shall not do certain things, then he - would say farewell to the liberties of the country." Was the country to be turned over to a few aristocrats as in Europe, were titles to be borne, caste established, an order of nobility to grow up? It was the boys who carried tiro musket, who made the Generals and the Presidents, too. Then to the delight of the galleries, General LOGAN declared he was there "to defend the rights of these men and their widows and orphans, and to defend the liberties of the people ; and whether assailed by Generals, by Marshals, by Governors, by Kings, Princes, or Potentates, by newspapers or by aristocrats, he would still be found making war against dictation and dictators, against aristocracy, and in favour of Rt3publican ism." The bill introduced into the Senate to re duce the Army to 25,000 men i 3 much more liberal in its provisions. Indee I LOGAN'S was more cal culated for disp'ay than as a practical measure,ibut we arc bound to add, however ungenerous the re marks of the Representative might appear towards soldiers of such distinction, they are not without a good effect, for soldiers of distinction are, in truth, the most dangerous men a Republic can harbour. —Anglo-American Times. AMERICAN CORRESPONDENCE. (From the Anglo-American Times.) NEW YORK, April 2. We have had some very severe weather. On Sunday there was a howling storm, which blew down a house, burying a family beneath the ruins All the incoming vessels r, port frightful gales. The steamer Camilla brought 13 passengers of the Vene zuelan, from Liverpool, bound to Aspinwa'l, which she fell in with disabled, but- the crew remaink d on hoard to work the vessel into port ; now it is feared that she has foundered in some of the later gales she must have encountered. The Ericsson saw a 600 too vessel bottom upwards ; the steamer Northum brian saw the wreck of a brig, with mainmast gone close to the deck, and foremast close to the cap. A Convention has been held at the Fifth avenue Hotel of the general ticket agents of the railroads to complete arrangements for the summer traffic, Mr. A. A. Barnes presiding. The through rates were discu sed during the greater part of the day, and, it was finally decided to adhere to existing fares, with few exceptions. The late William MeConville's will was proved last Saturday, and I give you a list of the bequests : —Asylum for Roman Catholic orphans, $5,000 $2,000 towards building a Cathedral in Brooklyn ; $3,00J to Sisters of the Good Shepherd ; $2,000 for the New York Cathe dral; to the poor of Brooklyn, $1,500; to those of New York, $4,500; to the Bishop of Dunmore, Ireland, $5OO ; to the Bishop . of Down, $5OO. It is reported here that the Viceroy of Egypt is en gaging Americans who served during the late war on both sides for his army, and that his agent has already secured some as regimental co omanders. Among these is General Harvey M'lvor, who served on General Escabedo's staff, and two Vir ginia officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Hunt and Major Mason, and these gentlemen have sailed for Liver pool in the steamship Tr ipoli. Generals Loring and Silby have taken up their commands in Egypt, and negotiations are said to be in progress with officers of the regulars in high command. The fol lowing ca9e was lately tried :—Mr. Haws,travelling. on the New York and Harlem Railroad, picked up a package of $1,015, which, being unclaimed, he handed to the conductor, saying he supposed the company were rightly entitled to it. It was duly made over to the proper officers, who were unable to trace the owner, whereupon Mr. Hews demanded She money, as having the best right to it, an las the company di I not recognize his right he brought an action to recover it. The co m p an y contend that as public carriers the law makes them responsible to the owner, and 'the Court held that although the defendant had no positive right, the plaintiff had none whatever. General Butler has been here, as his inquiring mind is beet on ascertaining how the 'I znzes got Gen. Garfield's report on the Gull Panic, and Mr. Shepherd, the ceief e ritor, and Mr. Bacon,the assistant, have both been summoned to Washington to esp'ain matters more fully. The Times was certainly premature in its publication. The fairest " beat" in news has been the SUCC,Z3 of the Tribune in getting the first report of the sinking of the Oneida. Precautions had been taken by that journal to secure a rapid transmission of news, if anything important oc curred in Japan or China, and the gentleman it had commissioned acted promptly and with judg ment. General Butler returned on Tues lay, after having dined at the Astor House with John Rus sell Young, and his nephew we are soon to lose, as he is about to start for Egypt as Consul-Gene ral. There is to be a great meeting of the Cuban League, at Cooper lustitu'e next Monday, in which prominent speakers will take part. An import art meeting was hell th ere on Wednesday to oppose any money being granted to schools for sectarian purpose s , an d a numbe r of leading speakers, among whom was the Rev. Henry, %Yard. Beecher, expressed very strong opinions on this subject. The boats of the People's line have begun their nightly trips to Al bany; they are the Drew, the St. John, and the Dean Richmond, all superb seamera. The Bailey excitement is subsiding, although the mystery con tintlis. Many of those who best know Mr. B tiley believe that he has been murdered, as they cannot otherwise account for his disappearance; a'tliough thesl2s,oooof defalcati m might be advanced as good cause. They sly that he was an abstemious man, and so frugal as to live far within his means ; that he was honest, holding high notions of honour; that he could, had he chosen, have got, twice the sum he is accused of stealing, from the whisky ring by simply resigning his otlice. A letter has been re ceived from him by Collector Pleasanton, which is believed to be genuine, though without date or post-mark, ha, ing been dropped into a box of' this city. In this the fraudulent appropriations are acknowledged, but all the clerks in the office are ex onerated from blame. The general impression is that Bailey is in Canada, but some believe he is nearer New York. The President has ordered the dis charge of all the clerks, feeling greatly shocked at the amount of dishon, sty which has transpired even emong high officials, and he says that men who have breathed such an atmosphere shou!cl not be retained. Mr. Eugene Schuyler has had the good fortune of being promoted from his consul ship at Rove], with a salary of $2,000, to a secre taryship of Legation at St. Petersburgh, on $l,BOO. Vice-Cormuodore J. G. Bennett, of the New York Yacht Club, has been given a grand dinner, in view of his departure for England to run the interna tional race with the Cambria. The entertainment was given by Commodore If. G. Stebbins, and Frank and George Osgood,at the Union League Club, thirty sitting down to dinner. Among the mar riages in New York was that of Miss Gracie Gar land a Southern young lady of great beauty, to Mr. Edwin Matthews, an English gentleman, they have started on a weddin , tour which will bring them back next month to _embark for Europe. A considerable number of our citizens are preparing for an Euro pean tour. Among them is Colonel and Mrs J. Conolly, Mrs. August Belmont, Mr. Charles Frost andlamily, Mr and Mrs R. C. Graham, Mr. Her bert Noyes, of the St. James's Hotel, on an ex tended visit, and many others: Captain Mayne Reid announcr:s a lecture at the request of many gentlemen on Lord Byron, of whom he is an ar dent admirer. He considers Mrs. Stowe ought to be flayed alive, and that lady, notw.thstanding - her sex, will meet with little consideration at his hands. An addition has been completed to A. T. Stewart's upper store, and we can now boast beyond all dispute " the finest shop in the world." (FROJI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) WASHINGTON, April 1. General C. C. Washburne, the Representative from Wisconsin, is striving 'to have the manage ntmt of the telegraphs transferred to the Govern ment. He maintains that both in France and in England the success of the Government control has been complete, and he says he has late advices, which show an immense increase in the telegraph business in Great Britain, besides greater facilities to the public, demonstrating the advantage of the change in England, though this is contrary to all we have heard on the subject. The Senate propos :s to double the subsidy now paid to the Pacific Steamship Co. for increasing the trips from San Francisco to Hongkong to two instead of one each month, making the sum per annum a million in stead of half a million of dollars. Commissioner Delano has sent a circular throughout his Depart ment, impressing on its officers the necessity' of civility and courtesy in discharging their official duties ; rude or offensive language the Commis sioner regards as a sufficient cause for removal. A settlement of the war claims for the State of Mas- Sachusetts has been effected by Col. Tufts, agent for that State, who has received a draft for a balance of $132,900. The Comanche Indians re cently made an extensive raid in Western Texas. Over forty families were massacred, very many of the houses were burned, and several hundred horses captured. It is believed the commander at Fort Hill might have prevented some of the massacres. General B. F. Butler has received a letter from Mr. Allen Melville, of New York, containing this singular proposition. Melville says he is a holder of State Bonds, which Minnesota has repudiated ; that Minnesota, thotigh rich, will not pay her Bonds, will not arbitrate, and will not consent to be sued by her bondholders, therefore the only re source is to have her sued by another State. He asks General Butler if Massachusetts, for the honour of the nation, will undertake to do this, and offers to procure for Massachusetts a certain amount of the repudiated Bonds as a gift to some charitable institution if that State will agree to the proposi tion. In reply, General Butler, who does not seem to be always on the side of the repudiator, thinks it probable that Massachusetts would accept Bonds amounting to $lOO,OOO or more in support of her State Charities, and undertake to collect the sum by means of a suit. The Hon. John W. Cald well, of Ohio, has returned to Washington, from Bolivia, as Minister to the United States, and was informed by Secretary Fish that the country could not receive one of its own citizens as Minister from a foreign State. Mr. Caldwell quoted Mr. Bur lingame's case, which, however, did not meet the objection, as he had been appointed to all the treaty-making powers, and not subject to recognition solely by the United States. The Turkish Minister has given orders for a large car pet in one piece for the east room of the Ex ecutive Mansion, for which a new loom will be re quired. The Turkish Minister called to inform the President of the honour intended him by his Im perial Majesty. The President has given General Butler two of his ten appointments for cadetships to West Point and Annapolis, but the other Butler might make a better use of them, as he knows what their real value is in the market. We are getting as clever in bribery and corruption as in the East. The other day a basket of flowers was sent to Ebbett House to the wife of the Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. In the basket was a paper enclosing $1,700, which unfortunately reached Mr. M'Cartee's hands, who made it over to the Secretary of the Treasury, and was by him placed in the Conscience Fund towards the liquida tion of the National Debt. An investigation is going on, but the generous donors have not been discovered. General Butler, it is stated, is push ing to get ex-Senator T. C. Murphy into the place now filled by Collector Grinuell. Several efforts against that gentleman have lately been made. Mr. Perry's case has been discussed in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and a voluminous correspondence between him and the Minister of the Madrid Legation ' Mr. Hale, has been before the members. They have decided to remain neutral, and recommend Colonel Hay, the present Secretary of Legation, to be confirmed in Perry's place. The official announcement of the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment has been received with a burst of enthusiasm by the negroes. A Committee waited on President Grant, and ten dered him their thanks on behalf of the coloured people, and he is to have a serenade to-night. An Envoy from San Domingo has arrived here with despatches from President Baez, and has had a long interview with Gen. Gran}. Baez is willing to extend the time for the ratification of the treaty, which the President strongly favours, and even hopes to achieVe, though the General is much against it. General Ames, it is rumoured, is about to be married to Miss Blanche Butler. He has been admitted to a seat in the Senate by 40 to 12, only 6 of the minority being Republicans, and four of them were members of the Ju liciaryCommitte ‘, which had reported agairist his admission. So the young ,General, for he is very young and goad looking, has pursued his lucky carter since the day when he served his guns so well on the trying field of Bull Run,afterwards capturing a fort while his future father-in-law was incliting despatches, showing it to be impregnable. An absurd case of m'staken identity lately occurred. A Philadelphia paper mistook Samuel Hooper, Representative from Massachusetts, for W.H. Hooper Mormon delegate from Utah, and wrote a sprightly leader under the impression that a Representative from the old Puri tan State had strenuously upheld Mormonism, de claring polygamy to be a divine institution, and monogamy the offspring of those heathen nations, the Greeks and Romans I and didn't poor Sam catch it,—and wasn't the old Bay State hauled over the coals ! But t he hon. gentleman had the article read by the Clerk, amid shouts of laughter, in which the wrong Hooper joined, as well as the right Hooper. Can't you do something of that sort, instead of being always so stupidly correct? and I will get your article read by the Clerk, which will be a fine advertisement for the A.A.T. Do you recollect the case of a Catherine Brown, who had the impu dence to take a seat in a car of the Washington Alexandria and Georgetown Railroad ? Of course she was rebuked and turned out, whereon she brought an action against the company, and has re covered $l5OO damages. There has been a row going on about the premature publication, in the New York limes, of the Gold Panic report, and its correspondent, Mr. Crouse has been up before the Sub-Judiciary Committee. Mr. Frank Smith, the House reporter, said that he made a copy of the re port,wbich Mr. Crouse forwarded to his paper, with tha injunction not to publish it till it had been pre sented to the House, a condition not observed by the paper. The death of Major-General Thomas has left a vacancy to be filled, but it is not known which of the eight Brigadier-Generals will be selected. The President will attend the fune ral, which is to take place at Troy, New York. No officer was more beloved or respected. Indeed some men considered Thomas to be the first of American Generals, and the grief at this sudden loss of so valuable an officer has spread over the coun try. A General Order has just been issued abo lishing the Fifth Military DiStrict, which was formed of Texas, now admitted as a State, and the Department of Louisiana has been broken up, that State being added to the Department of Texas, head-quarters Austin, General J. J. Reynolds com manding. The garrison of Little Rock is to be relieved by a detachment of the 6th Infantry, and the commanding officer of the troops in Arkansas is to report to Gem Reynolds. The State of Arkansas is added to the Department of Missouri, and the new Department of Texas will form a portion of the Mili tary Division of the South. Sparring in the Senate still continues. That assembly by no means re sembles the pictures of the birds in their little nests, which, by the way, I have always believed to be a false illustration, and my impression is that the Senate does resemble the harmony there pre vailing. Last Tuesday Senator Thurman and his colleague were very angry with each other, and did not take much pains to hide the feeling. Mr. Thurman was interrupted by Mr. Sherman, which he resisted, even unto dividing on the question, for the sense of the Chamber was against him ; and Mr. Sherman carried his point, which so disgusted Senator Trumbull that he accused t he Senator from Ohio of gross discourtesy to the Judiciary Com mittee, complaining of the indignity to him and the presumption of it. Sherman, however, dis claims any such intention, but steadily maintained his ground, and so successfully that Trumbull with drew in annoyance. The scene was animated, and enlivened by Mr. Vickers, of Maryland, who, being entitled to the floor, arose, with a huge roll of ma nuscript, and called for a glass of water, to the dis may of alll parties. Mr. Sherman asked him to give way ; Mr. Thurman called out, " Don't ;" some Senators cried, " Do ;" others shouted, " Stand fast ;" while Mr. Vickers sat down, got up, sat down—as the violence of the storm swayed from one side to the other ; but finally he bowed politely . to Mr. Sherman, and gave way. Idaho had en acted a law putting a special tax of $5 on Chinese in that territory, and a bill has now been reported annulling it. The habit in America of carrying loaded re volvers leads to an immense amount of homicide, the great majority of the cases arising from the acts of insane, frenzied, and drunken men. Doubtless numbers of deaths are caused by the momentary impulse of irritation at hasty expressions in the beat of arguments; but the fol lowing instance fairly illustrates how the mass of them originate :—On Saturday, March 19, while J. C. Rhine hart, a school teacher, and E. J. Connell, a carpenter, were walking near Manchester, Ohio, they were met by a drun ken man, named James Huff, who drew a pistol and shot Connell dead. Rhinehart drew a pistol and shot fluff through the body. Before Huff fell he returned Rhine hart's fire, mortally wounding him. Rhinehart and Huff died a few minutes after. The American papers show up the error of Mr. Goldwin Smith's assertion, that in the Northern States the English emigrant now finds himself not only in a foreign, but in a hostile country. It is extraordinary that Mr. Smith should have written so unguardedly. Englishmen are received with kindness in the Northern States, and this is demonstrated by the fact that 40,000 now annually settle there, a number constantly increas ing, while very few return. If they were received so unkindly in the Northern States, and so heartily wel comed in Virginia, considering that the resources of the Old Dominion are equal to those of any emigration field on earth, it is marvellous that so many should seek the discomfort and avoid the attractions. Virginia is all Mr. Goldwin Smith represents it to be, but ho seems to have gone crazy since Mr. Sumner's celebrated speech on the Clarendon-Johnson treaty, and to be peculiarly thin skinned to the severe criticism the attitude of England towards the United States deserved and received in Ame rica, although he himself had been among the first to acknowledge how wrong England was. A leading New York " weekly" ass )rts, " The England hated here is an abstraction, and vary few aro the individual Englishmen identified iu the minds of Americans with the England of the Alabanza." After ridiculing the Professor's statements about Irish influence, the same paper adds, "English im migrants are as sure of a warm welcome from Northern Americans as immigrants from any other country what soever; and if we were to say a warmer welcome, we should not, we think, be far wrong." . EARL DE GREY ON EXHIBITIONS. The Fine Art Exhibition was opened on Monday afternoon, at Ripon by the Right Hon. Earl de Grey and Ripon. The exhibition has been kvartotiad for the benefit of the Ripon Scientific Sccieiy and Mechanics' Institution, and consists of specimens of the fine arts contributed by the gentry and nobility of the county. It also contains the regalia from the South Kensington Museum, and the Abyssinian collection, including the crown and shield of Theodore and the personal ornaments of his queen. There is also a collection of pre-historic relics from the Yorkshire tumuli, which have never been exhibited before. There was present a very large attendance of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the city and surrounding districts. Earl de Grey and Ripon, who was called to the chair, delivered the inaugural address. He congratulated the citizens of Ripon on the success of the undertaking. He directed especial attention to the pre historic specimens. The exhibition, as regarded art, could not, he was sure, be disappointing to those who visited it. He could have wished that there had been a larger dis play from English schools of painters, because whi e we had very little to boast of in many branches of art, yet in painting we had many marked and distinct characteristics well worthy the attention and admiration of all who took a delight in art. In spite of our boasting in this nine teenth century we must admit that in many departments of art we were far behind others who had gone before us. With respect to architecture and ornamental art past ages had produced an architecture and ornament of their own, each marked with characteristics peculiar to the race and the age which produced it, while we in these days rested upon the imitation of past examples. This was an age of exhibitions. They were now springing up in every part of this and other countries. By means of these exhibi tions there could be brought within the reach of every man examples of the best description of art of past ages, so that by the study of what had been done before, our manufacturers and our artists might be led, if they could not create, at least to imitate successfully, and provide objects of great and real beauty. Not only did benefits accrue to the producers by these exhibitions, but those also for whom the works were produced derived an advantage, for they educated the general taste of the country, and shewed the purchaser what was not in good taste or not consistent with art or the principles of beauty. With respect to this portion of the subject, he greatly rejoiced to think that the department over which he had the honour to preside was doing a great work in this direction, for it had contributed to this exhibition objects of no inconsiderable interest. It might of course be said by some, that the science and art depart ment at South Kensington Museum was a costly institu tion established for the benefit of London, and that the sums expended on it were not of general advantage to the country . . That was entirely a mistake, for in these days of rapid inter-communication, when so many persons from every part of the country visited London, it would be an unseemly thing to be without a great national museum of works of art of all times. By means of it too education was given to art teachers who spread throughout the lenghth and breadth of the land, and inculcated in every part the lessons they had learned. It must also be remembered that the museum circulated through the country objects of interest. His lordship concluded by heartily wishing success to the Exhibition. An address was also delivered by the Bishop of Ripon. Twelve casks of gttnpowder, discovered afterwards to be blasting powder, and sixteen bags of shot, were seized on Saturday afternoon in a public thoroughfare in ClonmeL Both casks and bags were addressed to a woman in Cappoquin. The ammunition is believed to have been intended for legitimate purposes, but the police detained its pending inquiries. An official statement announces that since the opening of the Suez Canal in November last 131 ships have passed through it, and that the receipts from transit dues have been 558,262 francs. The traffic continues to shew a steady increase. Durin g March, 53 vessels passed through the canal ; from the Ist to the Bth of the present month the number has been 23. The total receipts since the opening amount t01,529,338f. (R 61,173.) CAPTURED BY BRIGANDS.—The Pall Mall Gazette believes that Lord Muncaster has been released by the brigands in Greece. The following prisoners remain in their hands :—Mr. Herbert, Mr. Frederick Vyner (Lady De Grey's brother), Mr. Lloyd, and a member of the Ita lian diplomatic service. The ladies who are released are Lady Muncaster and Mrs. Lloyd. Lord Muncaster was released to arrange the ransom. A MINIATURE MODEL.—A.n ingenious American mechanic, by name Trufton, has just finished one of the most wonderful miniature models ever seen. It is that of a steamboat, and the whole of the metal out of which it is made weighs exactly as much as a half-dollar. The cylinder is the sixteenth part of an inch in diameter, and in the same proportion is the whole of the lilliputian fabric, the boiler can just hold eight drops of water, the half of which . quantity suffices to keep the machine many minutes in motion, so perfect is every minute detail. DISCOVERY or ANCIENT COINS.—A few days ago some ancient coins were discovered in Harmondsworth churchyard. While the sexton was digging a grave, and when at great depth, in throwing up the earth he heard a ringing sound and found several shillings. He still con tinued to dig, and discovered no less than twenty-five five of them being placed on the arm bone of the remains of an adult person. It is supposed that they must have been buried some 300 years at least, the dates of the coins being James I. and Elizabeth. They were in a good state of preservation, and about as bright as when new. PRE= e:N T GRANT AND SAN Do MIN G 0 . —The President's views on the San Domingo question have been communicated to the Boston Advertiser by a Mr. Sidney Andrews, who gives them in a semi-official form. The President says that the DOminican authorities made him the first proposals, and pressed annexation upon him. He there fore sent confidential messengers to examine the state of affairs, and the condition of the island. President Grant has certain Proof that the $1,500,000 which the States are to pay covers the whole of San Domingq's obligations, and regards the stories of a concealed debt of fifteen mil lions as a device of foreign jealousy. The population he estimates at less than 200,000, and apprehends no trouble in governing them. The island ho consi ders the finest of the West India Islands. The soil is rich, and produces all the fruits of tropical latitudes. In ten years after annexation the exports would, he believes, exceed $100,000,000 a year. The people of the States, he argues, would quickly go down there, open plantations, - attract labour, give employment to the natives, build railways and telegraphs, lay out towns and villages and establish lines of steamers to New York and New Or'leans. Quantities of sugar, coffee, tobacco, and other tropical fruits would be grown and exported, and American manufacturing and agricultural interests would thrive thereby. Acting on the Monroe doctrine, the President considers that the States cannot refuse to receive the island, and if the overtures of the people are rejected, there is danger they may turn to Great Britain for protection. One of the next works of the world will be the Darien Canal and an American station in the West Indies will be essential to the project. The weak point of America is the GulA Coast, and it would be folly to reject so advantageous an opportunity to secure an outpost. The President thinizs every one would favour the scheme if they understood the facts, and propose to sen d, Couroseional Commiksion to tho MONETARY REP 0 RI'S-YESTERDAY.

It is against the dol.' sion of the Supreme Court at the Cape in an action for £2,500, arising out of the following circumstances Last year the Colesberg chest, it was reported, had been robbed of. some £1,300. The Govern' ment made inquiry and Mr. Henry Green, the Civil Commissioner and Resident Magistrate of Colesberg, wi sued by civil process for the money. Mr. Green is well known in South Africa through having been in the colony for thirty-six years. He was the owner of the Cape horse Young Express, which was sent to try his speed on the English turf, where he proved a failure. Mr. Green was at one time 13ritisb resident in the Orange River Sovereignty—h 4 position there being something similar to a Lieutenan t ' - 'Governor. On the abandonment of that territory he W 3 ' 9 for some time out of employment, but, at the recoramor dation of Sir G. Clerk, the Secretary of State wrote to the Colonial Government requesting -it to find employ ment for Mr. Green, and accordingly in 1860 that gentle man was appointed C.C. and R.M. of Colesberg,, office he held up to his suspension last year EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT OF Al IL SO THETIS 5 ACTING.—A Fifeshire correspondent sends to the Edin burgh Courant the following extraordinary story :—Be cently, a farmer residing in the East Neuk placed a soya in reign his mouth to keep it separate from some silver coins which he was paying away, and by accident the golden piece vanished down his throat. For some time much inconvenience was experienced in his breathing , and on Tuesday evening l as t, b e i ng i n Edi n b urg h, hg went in company with a friend to th e Theat re R o yal an in appreciation of Mr. Sothern's reprentation of " Lord Dundreary,"he laughed heartily, and thereafter was s eized with a violent fit of coughing, when he expectorated the long-lost gold coin the sight of which caused no incon siderable amount of joy, and he again breathes freely afte r its ejectment. - - ADvEunsinizivr.
