;.FOREIGN NOTES. FttAIME AND ITALY: the Paris correspondent of the 2'imea 'Web that the entry of the Italian army into the Papal States has pro foundly irritated the French and wounded Napoleon. The popular indignation is deep and loud, and the Emperor is excessively mortified. At the time that this correspondent wrote (Friday morning), everybody was asking whether there would be war. At the same time it was rumoured that an understanding would be come to between France, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Bavaria for a mixed occupation of Rome—a not very probable rumour, considering that in this arrangement Italy is conspicuous by her absence. The Ultramontane Univers calls upon the French Government to occupy a few of the Italian ports, by way of reducing the Italian Government to reason. A letter from Florence, dated October 30, says that to great was the indignation against the French Govern ment that it was found necessary to guard the French Legation with two companies of soldiers. The excitement increased when it was known that the French fleet was in sight of Civita Vecchia. Thereupon Victor Emmanuel held a long consultation with his Ministers, to whom he announced that the French Government had energetically repelled the demand for a joint intervention. Avery lively discussion followed, whose result was the order to the Italian army to march. On Thursday evening the O f ficial Gazette at Florence announced the crossing of the frontier as an accomplished fact. The Gazette expressed confidence that the French Government would see in this step the proof of a sincere desire to smooth away all difficulties, that the Roman people would look upon the Italian troops as the protectors of order, and that Garibaldi "would not insist upon increasing the grave difficulties, but would, on the contrary, aid by wise advice in the pacification of the country and the solution of the Roman question, which by such means might be easily obtained." The Paris correspondents of the Independante Belge, writing on the 31st, consider the position extremely critical. They state positively that there is no secret understanding between Napoleon and Victor Emmanuel, although it is difficult to see how they can ascertain thie. They add that Napoleon has been deeply wounded by the act of the Italian Government. The chief danger they considered to arise from the attitude of the Pope, who, in order to bring matters to a crisis, would, it was probable, send his troops against the Italian army, and when they were beaten—as beaten they would necessarily be—he would demand the assistance of the French troops, which, if granted, would bring the Frenoh and Italian armies face to face. France, however, would probably strongly counse l the Pope to avoid any such rash step. The correspon. dents have little faith in a European Congress. The Liberte is very sarcastic over the disagreement among the Ministerial journals. In an article headed " Order, Counter•order, Disorder," M. Fagnan points out that M. Dreolle, of the Patrie, has been contradicted by M. Boniface, of the Constitutionnel, and he asks why we should believe the latter more than the former—why, in fact, we should not believe that the Patric was right when it declared the entry of the Italian army into the Papal States a declaration of war. We understand that the real explanation is this : The news of the march of the Italian army was cont7adicted on the morning previous to the appearance of M. Dreolle's article, and Napoleon, think ing that Victor Emmanuel would scarcely venture upon such a step, ordered the menacing article above mentioned to be written. In the meanwhile, however, the news became confirmed, and it became necessary for the Govern ment to disavow its own production. Anyhow, there is clearly great confusion and uncertainty in the Ministerial councils. It is stated that the Marquis de la Valette has once more sent in his resignation, and that it has been accepted. The Minister is now in disgrace, for he has committed the high crime of remaining true to his convictions. Men who used to cringe to him now forget to recognise him. It is thought probable that he will be succeeded at the Home Department by a general, as M. Billault was by General Espinasse. M. Rouher is still very seriously unwell. He had to get out of bed to attend a Council of Ministers. It is expected that he will relieve himself of a portion of his duties by resigning the Portfolio of Finance to M. Frdmy, of the Cr6dit Mobilier. PRUSSIA AND THE ITALIAN CRISIS. The conduct of Prussia at the present juncture seems very mysterious. She seems to be alternately patting both disputants on the back, as though she were really desirous of seeing them come to blows. Another theory is that Bismarck has convinced himself that Itattazzi did some months ago conclude an offensive alliance with Napoleon, in anticipation of the then expected war with Prussia, and that the Prussian Aliniiter desires to punish Italy for thus turning against her ally of last year. At the same time it is not likely that Bismarck will carry his present policy of seeming vacillation much farther. In fact, the statement in his own organ, to the effect that the xnity of Italy is no less essential than the unity of Germany to the welfare of Europe, and that between the two nations there is a species of solidarity, ahews that in ti.c last extremity Italy would not be left alone. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Herald con. arms this supposition, and believes that the Italian troops would not have crossed the frontier if they had not been assured of support in the event of France resenting the step by a declaration of war. It is on this account probably that Napoleon is now urging the settlement of the Roman question by a European Conference, and also for the same reason that Bismarck has suddenly assumed a peremptory attitude towards the South German States. THE STATE OF ROME. The Daily Telegraph has sent a special correspondent to Rome, who, in spite of the assurances that he would never get there, contrived to enter without difficulty on the 25th. Two days later he would have been too late. Between the 25th and 27th terrible events occurred, and the city had been placed in a state of siege, and its gates barricaded. A visit to the Zouaves' barracks after the explosion chewed a ghastly spectacle. Numbers of frightfully scorched and mangled bodies lay buried in the ruins, not Zouaves only, but innocent women, who had shared the cruel fate dealt by the unworthy soldiers of freedom. It was not surprising that after this dastardly act the Papal troops should have displayed great ferocity. So when a treacherous member of the Junta betrayed the resort of his associates, the Zouaves attacked it, showed no mercy, and converted the house into a butcher's shambles. Twenty five were killed and thirtyseven made prisoners, many of them desperately wounded. The Papalini lost none of their number, though they had to stand a perfect storm of " Orsinis." All this time constant fighting was going on outside the walls, in which, according to the Telegraph's correspondent, the Garibaldini shewed little of the élan which they displayed seven years ago. The news of the entry of the Italian troops into the Papal States was known at Rome so long back as the 26th ult. Thereupon General Kanzler, whose heroism is said to be beyond all praise, ordered the Papal troops to with draw from the provinces and concentrate in the city. An official announcement was made to the Papal Government on the morning of the 27th that the French army would intervene, but very little confidence was placed in it, and it was looked upon as a farce. The Pope continued calm and unmoved, and continued to give private audiences. THE CRETAN INSURRECTION. The Sultan is getting anxious about Crete. ♦'all Pasha's mission has failed utterly, as all the world knows, and the Porte is now preparing a fresh campaign against its rebellious subjects. Meanwhile it is reported that King George, who has just been married, will return to Athens with a definite promise of the annexation of Crete. He may well look for some such gift. At the present time the maintenance of the Cretan refugees is costing the Greek Government a fourth of its entire revenues. THE UNITED STATES. FAREWELL DINNER TO MR. ANTHONY TROLLOPE. The colleagues and friends of Mr. Trollope—and, as had been aptly remarked in a public announce- went, the words are in this case synonymous—gave him a hearty leave-taking on Thursday in the ap _. proved English form of a " farewell dinner." The scene was the largebanquet-hall of the Albion Tavern, and the number of gentlemen present was nearly a hundred. It is pretty generally known, we be lieve, that the best part of Mr. Trollope's life, up to the present time, has been devoted in a great mea- sure to the public service, and that the sphere of his labours has been the Post-office. As Charles Lamb said of the India House, so may the author of " Barchester Towers," and "The Three Clerks," and a goodly row of truthful fiction, say of St. Martin's-le-Grand, that his principal " works" arc hid away somewhere behind Sir R. Smirke's lonic portico. The company who gathered last evening to speed the parting guest had for president Mr. Scudamore, to whose energy and faithful service the public is mainly indebted for the Post-office savings banks ; and the croupiers were Mr. E. Yates and Mr. G. Chetwynd. On the left of the chairman — Mr. Trollope, of course, sitting at his right hand— was the Secretary of the Post-office, Mr. Tilley ; and among the most prominent persons at table were the Accountant-General of the India House, Mr. Goodliffe ; Dr. Farr, Mr. Partington, Mr. Synge, Mr. W. Page, Dr. Lewis, Mr. Ashurst, Mr. Bokenham, Mr. Parkhurst, Mr. Boyd, Mr. Good, Mr. Du Plat Taylor, and H. Trollope. Though the least important business of any great dinner, public or nearly public, or even largely , social, is dining, it should, in fairness to the esta blishment which had been entrusted with the fur nishing of yesterday's feast, be said that there was no fault whatever to find with the material part of the affair. When that part had been disposed of, the chairman called upon the company to drink the loyal toasts, and seized very heartily on the occa sion to speak of the much improved relations of public servants to the State, and therefore to the Crown. The rime was, he said, when his hearers were called ‘" Government clerks," when to abuse Government clerks seemed to be the province of every witling, when all tongues and pens were against them, and when the hard words of the news- papers were made still harder by ingratitude, see ing that a very large share of support was said to be derived by the press from public offices. Gover ment clerks groaned long under this treatment, and at last said, " We won't be Government clerks any longer ; we'll be the 'civil service,' and have a good opinion of ourselves." From having a good opinion of themselves, it very naturally followed in time that everybody had a good opinion of them, and came in time to regard them as a great pillar of the State. In this pleasant way the chair man of the evening entertained his listeners, who, having, in his own quaint words, " begun to begin this evening" with the enjoyment of brisk and genial oratory, and of excellent part singing by those distinguished amateurs the " Moray Minstrels," were all the better prepared to hear Mr. Scudamore's eulogium on their distin guished guest. He began by saying that farewell dinners were no very extraordinary things, but that the occasion of taking leave was seldom like the present. They had frequently to bid farewell to some working brother who could work no more, or who, at all events, was entitled to take his rest. But now they were parting from one who relin quished a proud position while he bad vigour to improve it. Mr. Scudamore, having shown that times had mended for the faithful and able servants of the public, laughingly referred to olden days, when, as he told his hearers, a young Scot, raw to official existence, had asked him whether it was possible for a Post-office clerk to be Lord Mayor of London. " I told him," said the chairman, " that Post-office clerks were by virtue of their duties spe cially exempt from having to serve as Lord Mayor ; but if he had pushed me a little closer, and had asked whether I thought it possible for a Post-office clerk to work cheerfully and well in his station, and at the same time to raise himself into the first rank of literature, I think I should have answered that the struggle to become Lord Mayor would be of the two things the most hopeful. And if the raw Scotch clerk bad asked the question not only of Post-office clerks in general, but of Mr. Anthony Trollope in particular, I must still have given a despairing reply ; for in my early acquaint ance with our honoured guest, though I soon learned to love and esteem him, I no more discerned the likelihood of his ever keeping half England breath lessly waiting to hear the Yes or No of Lilly Dale —immense cheering at this point—than, in looking attentively at the outer shell of an oyster, I could attain to a just valuation of the pearl inside." Mr. Scudamore then proceeded to consider the true causes of Mr. Anthony Trollope's success. They were not alone, he said, the natural ability and the vigour of constitution possessed by him, but they were in a chiefer degree his strong rectitude of pur pose, his manly confidence in himself, and the de termination to do to his very utmost what his post of duty required. And here Mr. Scudamore quoted from a lecture given six years ago by Mr. Trollope, within the walls of the Post-office, in which lecture, speaking of the Civil Service, he said, " There is no profession by which a man can earn his bread in these realms admitting of a brighter honesty, of a nobler purpose, or of an action more manly and indepen dent." Continuing to quote from a report of the same lecture, the chairman laid an earnest emphasis on the following words :—" He who for every half a-crown gives service to the full value of half-a crown, surely with him need be no servility, no feeling of favour. In such a case the workman confers the favour, and may fairly feel within his own bosom that he does so. It is, however, in the power of men to reverse the matter altogether, and to place the balance clearly on the right side. For every half-a-crown- that they receive let them be careful to give work to the value of three-and sixpence, and then let them not care a straw for any man. He who so arranges his weights and measures never does care a straw for any man." In closing his words of cordial leave-taking, Mr. Scudamore appealed to his audience to say whether any one among them, when coming of mornings to his office work, had not felt a joyful pride for the Civil Ser vice, in seeing fellow-passengers by 'bus or rail intent on reading " Framley Parsonage," or " Orley Farm," or some one of the many sterling books written by the comrade and friend at his right hand. It is not necessary to say that the response made the room ring, and that it rang louder and longer when the chairman called upon them all to drink to the health of one of the staunchest servants the Civil Service had ever had. Mr. TROLLOPE'S speech, in reply, was excellent in every respect; characterised by his strong humour, but at the same time tinged with sadness. He said he was giving up a position which he had held for thirty-three years, and he could not but feel that he was ending the worthiest part of his life. He was, he said, compelled to take the step by the exigencies of another calling, which, dear as it was to him, was not so dear as had been the work he had taken up as a boy, and was now throwing away from him. There was, he thought, some matter for grave reflection in this. He had done his Post-office work without fear of the public or the critics. Would it not have been better for him to have stayed in the old home and done the work his hand had found to do ? He pro ceeded to answer this question, and to explain his well-matured reasons for being on with the new and off with the old love. Incidentally he touched, as he might have done with his pen, in a manner at once gay and thoughtful, on little personal themes, interesting specially to his hearers. He drew a pic ture of a large square room looking out on Gold smiths' Hall, in which chamber he had begun his official life, 33 years ago, " as a junior assistant probationary temporary extra clerk," condemned to 11 years of preliminary service without any pity, the 12th year rewarding him with the sum of £9 2s. 6d. In this room there were five gentlemen who took measure of him and his clothes, and who seemed to find him a foot too short in wisdom, and a foot too short in stature. He took measure also of them, and found them wanting. One of those gentlemen, grown old in office, had gone to that bourn ; whither all old The New York correspondent of the Daily News admits the gravity of the Republican defeat in Ohio, where the party used to have a large majority, and regrets that Mr. Wade will be succeeded by Mr. Pendleton in the Senate. But the correspondent maintains that there is noreal change of feeling in the North with regard to the treatment of the South. "The ideas on which the Republican party is based are still held as firmly by the great mass of the people as they ever were. They are disgusted with the vagaries of some of the leading men, and with the bad character o f m any of the local candidates, and many are not prepared for negro suffrage in their own States ; but they are just as determined as ever that the South shall come into the Union, and be kept in it, in the way fixed upon by the North ; that slavery shall not only not be restored, but that the Southern negroes shall be armed with as much political power as may be necessary to secure and assert their newly-acquired rights." The correspondent seems to think it quite natural that while the North is deter. ruined to enfranchise Southern negroes it should resist negro enfranchisement in the Northern States. In fact, he goes so far as to say that one of the great causes of the Republican defeat at the recent elections was Mr. Sumner's attempt to make equal suffrage the law of the whole nation. One result of the elections is that General Grant's chances for the Presidency are enormously increased. The ultra. section of the Republican party having been thus over- whelmingly defeated, they are scarcely likely to put forward a candidate of their own, as they did when they nominated General Fremont against Mr. Lincoln. They will now, in all probability, give their support to General Grant, though some of them still turn longing eyes towards Chief Justice Chase. It is possible tl.lat a large nurabg of the P;.:Acaz•ns also will ettr 1.) . ;Pal gentlemen must go ; and three of the five were sitting at the table near him. Coming back to his motives in leaving official life, Mr. Trollope said it had been necessary for him to choose, and it was not impossible that his choice had been influenced by that sort of feeling which possesses a man who has once earned his bread in spangled tights in the glare of the gas. For such a man to go back to decent, honest work was impossible. He must have the gaslight again, and the clapping nay, the hisses, if the clapping was not to be won. But his friend the chairman had made him out to be a more defunct man, with regard to the Post Office, than he was. Like the tallow-chandler who had retired from business, he should often feel grateful to be let in on " melting lays." The heartiness with which Mr. Trollope had spoken of his career and his comrades drew forth a repetition of those sounds at the end of his speech which had greeted him on his rising ; and Mr. Soudamore proposed, as an informal toast, apart from the programme, the health of the " Three Old Gentlemen," who turned out to be Mr. Boyd, Mr. Goodliffe, and Mr. Tilley. Other toasts followed, Mr. Edmund Yates proposing " The Visitors," in a very neat and sprightly address, the respondent to which was Dr. Farr. Erskine, at Valparaiso. The screw corvette Malacca 13, 200-horse power, arrived at Mazatlan from Van couver's Island on Sept. 5, leaving her Majesty's armour-plated ship Zealous, 20, 800-horse power, Capt. H. Dawkins, flagship of Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. F. Hastings, C. 8., at Vancouver at that date. The screw corvette Reindeer, 7, 200-horse power, Commander E. Nares, left Mazatlan on Sept. 11 for San Blas, for the purpose of shipping a large amount of specie for transmission to the Bank of England. On reaching San Blas, and finding no freight ready, she was ordered to proceed to Acapulco, where she arrived on the 20th of Septem ber. On the following day she shipped upwards of $lBO,OOO, with which she proceeded the same evening to Panama, where she arrived with her freight on the Ist ult. The Government of Mazatlan had issued a proclamation, in which he states that the province of Cinalon is open to the province of Xalisco. The whole of Mexico was still very unsettled, the troops becoming more and more demoralised daily, while the British and other merchants were making every effort to get their cash out of the country. Mr. B. W. Vernon, sub-lieut. of the Reindeer, and Mr. Stewart, warrant officer, bad been invalided, and were ordered to return to England. An amended order from the Admiralty relative to the new regulations for entry into the Royal Navy having been promulgated at Chatham, a num ber of promising lads have been received during the past week on board the Wellesley, 72, and the Formidable, 26, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir Bald win W. Walker, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at the Nore. The Admiralty order authorising the entry of the boys directs that they are to be between the age of 15} and 16} years, and must possess a good character. Boys accustomed to boats will be preferred, and it will not be necessary for those entered to pass through a training ship. Between 20 and 30 smart lads have joined the Royal Navy, during the last few days, from the Chichester, 50, training ship in the Thames for destitute boys, and have been received on board the Formidable, which will for the present be used as a receiving ship for boys, a number of whom have been transferred to her from the training ship St. Vincent, at Ports mouth, the latter vessel having more than her pro per complement on board. A detachment of the 109th Regiment (Bombay Infantry) has been placed under orders to proceed from the depot at Chatham, for embarcation at Gravesend, to join the headquarters of that regi ment in Bombay. At the head-quarters of the:Royal Engineer esta blishment, Chatham, great activity prevails in pre paring the equipment and completing the necessary arrangements for the departure of the scientific par ties of the Royal Engineers, together with the 10th company of the corps, the whole of whom will, according to existing arrangements, leave Chatham on Monday next for embarkation on board the screw steamer Mendoza for Abyssinia. Yester day a large supply of the apparatus for use by the photographers, telegraphists, and others who will form the scientific portion of the expedition, was despatched from the Royal Engineer establishment to the Director of Stores, at the India Department, for shipment on board the Mendoza. Upwards of 30 boxes were forwarded from Chatham yesterday, and the remainder will be deSpatched to-day. Each box is fitted so that it may be conveniently placed on pack saddles for being carried either by mules or camels. A well-boring expedition has been organised, and will be placed under the orders of Lieut. F. A. Le Mesurier, for the purpose of boring for water along the route to be taken by the troops. For several days past the non-commissioned officers and sappers forming the well-boring party have been busily occupied in practising the well boring on the Royal Engineer depot works, the apparatus em ployed being an American invention, which was very extensively used during the late civil war. The apparatus consists of nothing more than a series of iron tubes, almost exactly resembling ordinary gas pipes, the first pipe which enters the ground being steel pointed. Each tube is then driven, in various lengths,into the ground by means of a monkey, which the pipe supports, and on water being reached a common suction pipe is attached, and the required quantity obtained. With this invention au unlimited supply of water may be obtained in two or three hours along the district to be traversed, the nume rous trials carried out at Chatham having proved the value of the invention. During yesterday and previous days trials were also carried out at the Royal Engineer establishment with the new pack saddle to be used with the mounted portion of the Royal Engineer Train, a number of the principal officers of the garrison, including Major-Gen. Mur ray and Col. Simmons, C. 8., being present on the occasion. The object of the trials was to ascertain whether the saddles could be adapted for conveying he instruments and apparatus to be taken out by he Royal Engineers, and with some slight altera- tions and improvements in the existing pattern it was found that the saddles would admit of their being safely and securely packed. The 10th company of Royal Engineers, which has been selected for service in Abyssinia, has been completed to its full strength from the depot companies at headquarters, and so great is the anxiety of the non-commissioned officers and men to join the expedition that, should that number be required, at least 500 sappers would at once volunteer for the service. The whole of the non-commissioned officers and sappers f orm g well as those of the A troop e 10th company, have been in mounted the and n corps, r p t s h , a 8 awarded 50 days' pay in advance. During the time they are absent from head -quarters they will be placed on the pay and allowances of the Indian establish ment, besides receiving other advantages. A notifi cation has been received from the Horse Guards that those of the officers of the Royal Engineers pro ceeding to Abyssinia who may be desirous of doing so will be allowed to take their horses with them, and an application has accordingly been made by Lieut. Le Mesurier to be permitted to do so. The other officers proceeding with the Royal Engineers are Major G. D. Pritchard, in command, Lieut. J. L. Morgan, and Lieut. A. R. Puzey. The deaths of the following officers have been officially reported at the War-office since Oct. 1 : Major-Generals.—George Hildebrand Burgmann, Royal Engineers, and John Birtwhistle. Col.—Sir 'r.

Yesterday the telegrams received in London added as much to the alarm as to the confusion at present prevailing in the minds of the English public. The Times, in its Second Edition, announced the arrival in Rome of two French brigades, who were received by the people in dead silence. The news came from Leghorn, dated October 30, 11-5 p.m., a date considered to be mistaken, as a de spatch from Florence of November Ist said that the French troops were still at Civita Vecchia. the General CIALDINI has been placed at the head of Italian army of occupation, which has taken several posts in the Papal territory, and is advancing to occupy Conniarque. These troops are every where re ceived by the inhabitants with acclamation ; but it is ominous that the Pontifical authorities withdraw from the communes as the Italian army advances, leaving a Provisional Government to be formed in the name of King VICTOR EMMANUEL. The Garibaldian bands were encamped within a short distance of the walls of Rome—a position which had been recon noitred by the Papal troops, and an attack on GARIBALDI was expected to be made yesterday. The Italian Government had closed the insurrectional relief committee at Florence. The Italie denies that the object of General LA MARMORA'S mission to Paris was to come to an understanding relative to a joint intervention in the Papal States, as reported by a French paper, the real aim being to hasten the solution of the present difficulties, which cannot be prolonged without serious inconvenience and peril. We can only hope that King VICTOR EMMANUEL is acting in con junction with the Emperor of the FRENCH. On this point the Moniteur has as yet been silent, and we are left to mere conjecture as to whether the Italian army has invaded the Papal ter ritory as allies or foes of France. There are now four cocks on the ground, and others are already crowing. Some ominous notes come from Berlin, and the Emperor of AUSTRIA is known to be in close alliance with NAPOLEON. The French, too, are divided on the expediency of the inter vention, and two strong sections appear to be bitterly opposed on this question. As Rome is, we suppose, at present garrisoned by French troops, and the Italian army within a short distance, the end must be near. If the Papal force fought it out with the Garibaldians, while the French and Italian armies of occupation looked on to see fair play, and all parties agreed to abide the result, we could see the •sword to cut this Gordian knot. But alas 1 the days of chi valry are gone, flickering only in such hearts as that of GARIBALDI, who, we doubt not, would abide the issue, either living to see Rome free or falling gloriously beneath its walla. Although the trial by combat has not ceased, yet it is in these times conducted on so gigantic a scale, except where a Fenian with pistol assassinates a policeman with truncheon, and the interest gene rally ramides so widely, that GARIBALDI and his volunteers are a mere match to kindle the fire where they will be the first victims, and of so little account as to be wholly lost sight of in the conflagration. The position is full of danger, but the Emperor NAPOLEON may be master, and by the sheer force of his great power cow the unruly ele ments into subjection. been ascertained, but some say it will not exceed $lOO,OOO. Secretary M'Culloch announces that the Treasury will give 5-20 Bonds of 1867 for 7-30's; the interest to be charged on the Bonds, and allowed on the notes up to the time of conversion ; the risk of forwarding the notes to Washington as well as the expense to be borne by the sender, while the department will take the risk and expense of the return bends. In this the Secretary is pursuing his policy of funding the National Debt into a uniform gold-bearing stock, in which he will be aided by the counterfeit 7-30's just discovered, which makes many holding such bonds anxious to be relieved of them. The interest duo Ist No vember, on the 5-20's, amounts to $24,900,000 in coin, which will release a largo amount of gold from the Trea sury. The payments will be made in the following pro portions: —At New York, $17,425,501; Boston, $2,910,351; Philadelphia, $2,359,591.50 ; Baltimore, $552,016.50 ; Washington, D. C. ; $258,439.50 ; Cincienati, $194,752 ; St. Louis, ,$94,772; Chicago, $428,709 ; Pittsburgh, $10,122 ; New Orleans, $13,937 ; Buff ilo, New York, $9,865.50 ; Charleston, $3,058 ; San Francisco, $3,585. In anticipation of this deluge, gold has been falling, and some predict that after the payment the price will go below 140. Yesterday it closed at 1441 after some fluctuations. It is worthy of observation that the gold payments of the Treasury on 5-20's have not yet been followed by a fall, but, on the contrary, have generally resulted in a rise. Foreign exchange is very dull and lower. American silver is in moderate request at 5 to 5i cents below gold. Mexican dollars 1021 to 103 in gold. There is an improve ment in trade, though it does not equal anticipation. Cotton is low and falling; the decline since June Ist in the raw materials equals 7 cents a lb, which bears heavily against Southern trade, and is felt severely by the planters. The news from Liverpool is not encouraging. Colin Campbell and Son, who held a first-class credit, have failed. S. and J. Ralli and Co., also a firm of high credit, has also gone. The latter house had a branch in New York and another in New Orleans. Peter Buchanan and Co., of Glasgow, have been chiefly connected with Canada, and does not affect us. Flour and wheat keep strong, and are likely to do so during the winter. The railway and miscellaneous mar ket has generally improved, though the fluctuations have been considerable. Tho improvement is owing to the greatly increased business which the harvest has given to the Western railways. The Illinois Central has been very fully employed, so also has the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincey. The Boston, Hartford, and Erie has advanced since the Erie Railroad election 21, being now 161. The closing prices yesterday were as follows : New York Central 1121, Erie 721, Hudson 126, Reading 1011, Michigan Southern arid Northern Indiana 811, Illinois Central 1221, Cleveland and Pittsburg 821, North-Western 461, North-Western Preferred 671, Canton 44f, Rock Island 97, Cleveland and Toledo 1061, Fort Wayne 99f, Pacific Mail 1461, Quicksilver 21, Western Union Telegraph 341, Mariposa Preferred 17, Ohio and Mississippi Certificates 261, Boston Water Power 161, Cumberland 30. The Radicals have carried the Virginia and Georgia elections. The court-martial on Colonel Gilbert for sending a party under Major Pierce to wreck the office of the Constitutional Eagle, and for upholding and justifying that act, has announced its verdict ; the sentence being approved by the President and General Grant. The colonel has been reduced from his grade to the rank of captain, and mulcted in a fine of $l,OOO. A Correspondent, whose letter is dated Naples, 22d October, and whose information may be relied on, as it is not setsational, and is written by one intimately acquainted with Italy, says :—" Cholera has quite ceased here, and there are no quarantines, so that communications by sea are free. Trains arrive from Rome, but on account of the insurrec tion are not allowed to run to Rome. In spite of the flaming accounts of the Italian press, we see no signs of enthusiasm in the masses." We hope to receive frequent notes from the writer, particularly during the present crisis, and that the despatches will be so timed as to reach us on Friday evening. The counterfeit 7-30's which have so startled New York still remain a mystery. Although many have been advanced, yet no satisfactory clue has been found either of the origin or extent of the fraud. The Treasury has circulated the report that they came from Europe, but there are grounds for belief that the counterfeits are copied by actual transfer from the genuine plate. The defects of the old issues are reproduced in the counterfeits, but not those of the later issue. It is considered suspicious the readiness with which the Treasury officers have rushed into print in their endeavours to fasten the forgery on Europe. The rumours so long prevalent of fraudulent practices in the Treasury have now received confirmation. Of course hints were thrown out that there were counterfeit 5-20's also, but this is authoritatively contradicted. The Congressional Committee on retrenchment is investigating the subject, and Mr. M'Culloch has prepared a report for that committee, which it is believed will im mediately be published. Persons have been arrested charged with the offence. The Secretary of the Treasury intends to recover from the persons who gave into the Treasury the spurious bonds, and the brokers will be heavy losers if he succeeds, but they are united to resist this, and no action has yet been taken by the Government. The law allows 15 days as the time within which action must be taken on the discovery of counterfeits, and there appears to be a difference of opinion as to whether the Treasury has acted within this limit. The amount redeemed by the Treasury is $BO,OOO, but what further issues remain behind no one knows. We give the official report from the Treasury De partment, in relation to these bonds, by L. M. Clark, chief of the printing bureau, in another column, which will enable the counterfeits to be detected. (From the Wall Street Journal of Oct. 19.) " Mining Stocks have been very dull until yesterday, when the market took a spirt upwards, and a good lot of stock was got off at higher prices. The advance was not sustained, and the tone to-day is quite changed, the mar ket having relapsed into its former apathy. " Petroleum Stocks sell steadily, and the continued in crease of companies paying dividends is encouraging to speculators. The following aro the closing prices to-day for Express Stocks : Theodore Tilton, while on his journey to Boston, met at lunch, in Springfield, Senator Wilson, Schuyler Colfax, and several other Republican politicians. The Senator humorously remarked that he did not know whether it would do for himself and the other Conserva tive gentleman to be soon lunching with so pronounced a Radical as the editor of the Independent. No opportunity then offering for a counter reply, Mr. Tilton quietly waited his time. As the cars passed Natick, Mr. Wilson, pointing out his dwelling to the party, and the cemetery, which is on elevated ground, said, " There is where I live, gentlemen, and there is where my bones will lie." "I am glad to see, Senator," quickly replied Mr. Tilton, " that you will take higher grounds after your death than you did during your life." A neat thing, was it not 2 Watchman and Reflector. Boston having added Roxbury's 28,426 inhabi tants, now has 220,750 ; and she puts out the following list of other neighbours that she is ready to swallow :—Dor chester 10,729, West Roxbury 6,912, Brookline 5,262, Brighton 3,859, Cambridge 29,114, Charlestown 26,398, Somerville 9,336, Chelsea 14,403, North Chelsea 858, Win throp 634 ; all of which would make Boston's grand total 326,253. SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL.—The practice which Cer tain public men havo fallen into of holding private con versatiocs with newspaper reporters, with a view to their publication and circulation as political or personal docu ments, is to say the least of it, undignified; and when resorted to as a moans of backbiting other public men, it becomes a serious breach of good manners. —Atlanta New Era.

" The application to which we referred to last week, for a mandamus compelling the Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany to allow their stockholders to inspect the books which would or should exhibit the condition of their own property was duly granted on Tuesday, Oct. 15, by Judge Sutherland." After giving a full report of the proceedings the Wall street Journal concludes as follows :—" The conduct of the officials of this Company in connection with this and with other matters concerned in the company's affairs is the leading topic in commercial circles, and the general opinion of monied mon is that a change is absolutely necessary." NEW YORK, Saturday, Oct. 19. The money market is active, the demand continuing strong, more especially in Chicago, whole the rates are very high, being from II to 21 per cent.. per month ; this is, however, only temporary, and in consequence of the oquiroments for removing the immense qualities of grain now seeking a market. Lenders prefer to advance on call, And the supply is plentiful at short dates at 7 per cont. The discount market, however, is dull, ranging from 7 to 9 for the best quality, and there is little inclination to take anything else. Until the navigation closes the neces sities of the Western trade will press heavily on the Eastern market. Tho demands, too, for money are expected to be large for the fall and winter business, so that high rates aro anticipated for at least two months to come. Government Securities aro lower, tho tendency being downwards on a predominance of sellers, caused probably by fright on the discovery of the coun terfeit 7-30 notes. Some brokers will be losers to amounts varying up to $lO,OOO. What the total loss les has not yet Naval and Military Intelligence. Rear-Admiral Claude H. M. - Buckle, C. 8., ap pointed Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Forces in Ireland, in succession to Rear-Admiral Charles Frederick, went down to Woolwich and hoisted his flag on board the Fisgard, under a salute of 11 guns, for transfer to the Warrior, the new flagship at Queenstown. The iron steamship Limerick; chartered by the War Department, has commenced shipping at the T Pier, in Woolwich Arsenal, a number of 6i-ton wrought-iron gun carriages and slides for the fleet in the Mediterranean, and balks of timber, &c., for building purposes at Malta, and will complete her cargo in the docks. Her Majesty's 3-gun double screw ship Philomel, launched on Wednesday at Deptford, was taken into the fitting basin at Woolwich yesterday to be masted and prepared for service. her Majesty's ship Harpy is about to leave the Clyde for Lough Foyle, to join her Majesty's ship Lion, to which she is tender. The Victoria cutter is now the only ship of war left in the Clyde, but the Lion is expected to return shortly to the river from Lough Swilly. _ _ . Her Majesty's screw yacht Fairy, in the steam basin of Portsmouth dockyard, is having her inter nal fittings in the Royal apartments taken out of her, together with her machinery and boilers, pre paratory to breaking up her hull, and thus removing her name, for a time, from the list of the squadron of her Majesty's yachts. All the main features in the decorations and furniture of the Royal apart ments are being removed from the yacht with the greatest care, it being understood to be her Ma jesty's desire to preserve at Osborne all that can possibly be converted into memorials of a Teasel so long a time the favourite yacht of herself, the late Prince Consort, and all the members of the Royal family. Her Majesty's screw troopship Himalaya, Capt. Shute B. Piers, has sailed from Portsmouth for Devonport to be docked and refit for further ser vice. There is at the present moment plenty of dock space and other accommodation available at Portsmouth for the repairs and refit of the Hima laya, and as she will return to that port on the com pletion of her refit and repairs at Devonport to embark her next batch of troops, it is somewhat puzzling to conceive a reason for thus sending the ship away to Devonport. In the first pl4ce, the course adopted involves a considerable extra loss of the ship's services ; and, secondly, it in volves a considerable expense in the fuel con sumed in steaming over nearly 300 miles and in the wear and tear of machinery in doing so. It is but fair to observe, however, that whatever blame may be really due for thus sending the Himalaya to Devonport from Portsmouth for a refit, which coal I have been effected at the I ater port, where she was lying, it c innot be laid at the doors of Whitehall, but rather on th 3 shoulders of those officials of Portsmouth dockyard who have advised such a course of procedure. The double•screw gun vessel Plover, Commander Poland, has left Portsmouth for a three days' cruise in the Channel. On her return to Portsmouth she will fill up with coal and other stores, and after wards sail for the West Coast of Africa. The double-screw gunvessel Ringdove, recently launched from Portsmouth dockyard, was masted yesterday in the steam basin of that yard, in the process of her outfit for commission. The Speedy, screw gun vessel, sailed from Ports mouth yesterday on her return to her station at the Channel Islands. Agreeably to orders issued from the Admiralty the bows of her Mejesty's screw troopship Urgent, Capt. S. H. Henderson, now lying in No. 11 dock at Portsmouth, are being coated with Welch's patent cement preservative and anti-fouling com positions, and the result of this experimental trial of a somewhat remarkable plan for preserving the bottoms of ships and keeping them clean below the water line may be looked forward to with very con siderable interest. The compositions have been experimentally tested at Portsmouth dockyard, and with unvarying success, during the past three years. The most decisive trials made, however,have been on portions of the bottoms of the screw troopships Tamar and Urgent. Both these vessels had large portions of their bottom plating coated with the Welch cement in its crudest form, and both made a voyage afterwards to China, being absent in each instance from England a little over 12 months. When placed in dock on their return to Portsmouth, all parts of the bottoms of the ships, excepting the parts covered witn the Welch compositions, were covered wiih barnacle, coralliue, and tuf tweed. The Welch composition patches were as clean as hard, and as bright as on the day they were placed on the ship's bottom. The iron underneath the patches was perfectly preserved, but to ascertain this the compositions had to be chipped off with a chisel. Both the bows of the Urgent, now being coated with the Welch cement,, give a space covered with it of about 250 square yards, extending about 50ft. from the stem on each side. As this space takes all the rub of the anchors and chains in bringing the ship to or weighing anchor, the compositions will be put to a very severe test. The parts of the Urgent's bows now completed look exactly as if sheathed with bright copper, and there can be no doubt of the anti fouling properties of this outside metallic facing. The process has been carried out apparently in the following manner :—An elastic cement composed of certain stone grits and bituminous substances forms the protective coating, and is laid over the bottom of the ship to about 1-32 d of an inch in thickness. Over this, when properly dry and set firm, is net laid with a brush a liquid cement, on which is im mediately transferred by rollers a metallic facing of copper dust. A liberal dusting of the copper facing with fine stone grift completes the procers, and the iron ship is provided with a coppered bottom, and with such a preservative cement coating underneath that no possibility of contact, the inventor asserts, can exist of setting up any action between the outer copper facing on the composition and the iron of the ship's bottom by any accidental or otherwise abra sion or penetration of the plating of the ship's hull below the water line. Without the metallic facing the cement is applicable far beyond any other known method for coating and protecting the insides of the hulls of ships. Private letters received at Chatham announce the departure of her Majesty's screw sloop, 17, 200- horse power, Commander W. Swinburne, attached to the Pacific squadron, from the island of Taboza, on Oct. 4, for Valparaiso. The Pacific Steam Navi gation Co.'s steamer Santiago arrived at Taboza on the 4th ult., bringing the report that her Majesty's screw corvette Clio, 22, 400-horse power, had been surveyed at Valparaiso and found to be so defective and rotten that the shipwrights there declined to undertake her repair. She was awaiting instructions from the Admiralty. The commodore's flagship Topaze, 31, 600-horse power, flying the pennant of Commodore R. Powell, C. 8., second in command of the Pacific squadron, was at Callao, and the Columbine, 4, 150-horse power, Commander J, 4 DIVIDENDS. The Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad Com pany will pay, on October 19th, a dividend of 5 per cent., free of tax. The books will close on the 10th inst., and will reopen on the 21st inst. The aggregate net earnings for the six months ending September 30th last show profit of 8 per cent., after paying all charges, including in terest on all the bonds. There is then a reserve of 3 per cent., after paying the 5 per cent. dividend. The Etna Insurance Company of Hartford will pay on demand a quarterly dividend of three per cent. free of tax ; the Collins Company six per c snt. (with an increase of the capital to $80,000) ; the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com pany a quarterly dividend of two and one half per cent. ; the National State Bank of Camden, New Jersey, five per cent. (wtth an extra dividend of five por cent.), and the Narragansett Steamship Company five per cent. in cash and five per cent. in stock. The Bennehoff Run Petroleum Company will pay on demand, at the office, 57, Broadway, New York, a dividend of three per cent. from the net earnings of the company. The Triumph Oil Company will pay their fourth monthly cash dividend of five per cont. on and after the 15th inst., at the office, 19, Irwin-street, Pittsburgh, Penn sylvania. This company has declared the following dividends : June Ist, 1867 25 per Cent. Stock Dividend July 3d, 1867 3 Cash August '6th, 1867 September 2d, 1867 October 3d, 1867 The capital of the company is $300,000, in 150,000 shares of the par value of $2 per share, and the average daily Royalty received by the company for the last three mouths has been 350 barrels of oil. The Mechanics and Traders' National Bank of New York City will pay five per cent. on the capital stock of the institution, free of Government Tax, on and after November Ist ; the National City Bank of New York City will pay six per cent. ; and the American Exchange National Bank of five per cent., free of all taxes, on and after the same date. 17 77 The "Institution for Savings" in Newbury-port, Mas sachusetts, has declared a semi-annual dividend of 31 per cent., and the Five Cent Savings Bank of Newburyport• one of 3 per cent. The first-named bank has over $2,000,000 in deposits and the latter $300,000. The Baizell Oil Company have declared 2 por cent; the Mount Farm Goal and Oil Company 5 per cent.; and the Alleghanny and Pittsburgh Oil Company 1 per cent., pay able on demand at the respective offices in Philadelphia. The Fort Pitt Oil Company have declared a dividend of 21 per cent•. (being dividend No. 2), and the Columbia Oil Company 3 per cent., payable on demand at their respec tive offices in Pittsburgh. (From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, Oct. 30.) Our advicos from Now York by the Scotia are to the 15th instant. The Money Market had been more strin gent than for some months previous, and as much as seven per cent. had been paid on good collatorals. The Banks returns exhibit but little alteration, but the usual monthly financial statement of the Secretary of the Treasury shows a decrease in the debt bearing interest payable in currency of $47,569,675, and an addition to the gold bearing debt of $29,508,400; the gold in the Treasur y had incre ased $2,035,639, and the tota l debt, less balances in hand, had decreased 610,178,619 during the month of September. Government Stocks had been depressed, but showed some recovery, especially in tho 7.30 Treasury Notes ; other descriptions, on the week, show a slight decline. In Railways there had been an active business, with considerable fluctuations ; Cleveland and Toledo and Now York Central wore in renewed demand, and had each advanced five per cent. State Bonds were slightly firmer and in request.. Gold during the week had declined quite two per cent., the result of the recent elections having in some measure allayed apprehensions of political difficulties. In the London market for American Securities there has during the week boon a considerable amount of business, with a steady tendency to higher values, and the closing quotations aro the highest of the week; United States 0-20'o being 691 t 9 70 for I$Q2 D;putts, an 4 Q 6 t 9 19r We ,r 1865'5. Illinois Central Shares have advanced 791 to and Eries 464 to 47i. There has been a marked disposition to sell Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Bonds and buy Certifi cates of Debenture, so that while the latter remain steady the former have declined 1 per cent., or to 20 to 21. (From Messrs. Bowles, Brevet, and Co.'s Circular.) Paris, Oct. 31, 1867. We issue our circular under to-day's date, no business being transacted to-day (All Saints' Day). Our market has continued subject to marked fluctua tions, and the final intervention in the affair of Rome, with the absence of reliable advices as to the progress of event s in that quarter, have occasioned much depression an d very unsettled feeling. United States Securities show little variaVon, and We quote : 1862 1863. 25 15 Advicos from New York arc to the 30th inst. Exchange on London (From Messrs. Belding, Keith, and Co.'s Circular.) FRIDAY EVENING, Nov. 1. The market for American Securities has shown a con tinual advance since yesterday week, and the warlike news from the Continent has produced but little effect on it. This favourable change is chiefly to be attributed to the fall in the price of gold in Nov York, which has once more reached 141, our latest telegrams being of Wednes day's date. United States 5-20 Bonds of both issues have advanced per cent., and closed yesterday at 70 to 70-1 for the 1862'5, and 681 68k-for the 1865'5. The advance in Illinois Centrals has been 2-1- per c ent., the closing quotation being 80/ and 80/ ; while Erie S hares have risen about the same, and closed 471 and 4 7 f. Atlantic and Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have bee n the exception, and have declined about 1 per cent. Th e y closed flat at 20 and 21. To-day has been a holiday at tho Stock Exchange.
