The foregoing is a correct statement of the Public Dobt,

as appears from the books and Treasurer's returns in the
Department on the Ist of June, 1868.
HUGIi 11‘CuLLout, Secretary of the Treasury.

From tho foregoing statement it appears that thi gold
bearing debt during the month of May was increased
$57,449,550. The seven-thirty Treasury notes were re-
duced $58,008,050. The three per cent. certificates wera
increased $21,670,000. The compound interest notes, the
principal and interest of which were receivable for three
per cent. certificates, were reduced $19,701,710. The debt,
gold and currency bearing, and the matured debt not pre-
sented, was increased $3,120,079 —51,920,000, of which
increase consists of bends issued to the. Pacific Railroad
companies.

The coin in the Treasury decreased $16,681,098 84.
The currency in the Treasury has increased $11,103,983 51.
The entire debt, deducting therefrom the cash in the
Treasury, Wa3 increased $9,717,059 18—owing chiefly to
th© heavy payments of interest during the month. The
increase of currency, it is understood, is attributable to
receipts for taxes upon incomes, and to the fact that some
large requisitions from the War Department, which it was
contemplated would bo made in May, were deferred until
June.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

The proposal to raise a battalion of 1,200 men in
the United States for the Pontifical army has been aban-
doned, as the American Roman Catholic bishops have been
informed by the Washington Government that such enrol-
ment would be contrary to law.
At the dinner of the Cobden Club last Wednes-
day, Mr. Goldwin Smith, in reply to the toast of the even-
ing, "Success to the Cobden Club," said ho presumed he
had been called on to do so because ho was soon to sail for
America, whither he presumed he would go charged with
expressions of the kindest and most cordial feeling of all
Cobden's disciples to the American people. Ile trusted,
however, no one would suspect him of turning his back
on his country, or that he would ever fail to be a good
Englishman wherever he might be. He should, how-
ever, scarcely feel himself out of England in the
United S bites, le calm., whatever the difference between
the two countries, the people still had love for Old
England at the bottom of their hearts. But however much
the States were like old England, ho was sorry to be
obliged to note one great difference it was impossible to
pass by ou such an occasion. They vrerestill Protectionists,
though ho believed free trade was advancing among them.
Ho asked England to be patient with American protection,
for, after all, it was but the first commercial instinct of
nation, the instinct of unenlightened desire for gain. Even
in this country 70,000 Lancashire manufacturers petitioned
against the first movement for free trade. American pro-
. tection seemed to him to spring partly from the ordinary
fallacies on the subject, strengthened by the conduct of
England during the late war. A feeling of patriotic re-
sentiment induced a prohibitory tariff for English manufac-
tures, but he ventured to say that 20 years hence
would see, not a commercial treaty, but free trade between
the two countries. The Chairman had referred to the
Irish question. He should watch the coming struggle on
that subject with the keenest interest ; he trusted it would
result in good for the mother country, and in the ascend-
ancy of those principles which his friend Mr. Cobden bad
always maintained. Those who would fight the battle
had his warmest sympathy. He assured them that if vic-
tory attended their efforts it would be a victory not merely
for their party, but for their country and for humanity.
(Cheers.)
The New York Times states that the device
adopted for the new national flag for the Dominion of
Canada is as follows : —"A white field, containing a gar-
land of autumnal maple leaves, bound with the Order of
the Garter, and surmounted with an imperial crown, the
irrrepressible beaver, and a number of maple leaves in the
centre."

MINISTER BANCROFT AS A CAVALIER.--The
Springfield Republican says :—" The eccentricities of fir'
Bancroft, our. Prussian Minister, furnish plenty of amuse-
ment to the aristocratic gossips of Berlin. The latest stort
concerning him is that lie is head over ears in love wit°
the daughter of Giacomo Meyerbeer, the great composer'
Mr. Bancroft is nearly always to bo found at the resideneie
of Meyerbeer's widow, who lives with her daughters as
her son-in-law, the celebrated painter, Richter, in a veil
beautiful villa in the Thiergarten. ne of her daughters
is not yet married, passably young, passably good lookiugi
has read a good deal, is a good conversationalist, and ills
the sort of woman learned men like to talk with. •L'lr•
Bancroft is her most constant attendant. The other day
he was taking a walk -with her and the other ladies in tla?
Thiergarten, when a lady and two cavaliers, all mouute,
on splendid horses, passed them at the full gallop. ` 11°1,
magnificent that looks,' exclaimed Miss Meyerbeer ; ho
I envy that lady for being so good a horsewoman.' `wfil
do you not ride on horseback, Miss Meyerbeer ?' asked
Bancroft. ' Because I have nobody to ride with me, el/
a lady, you know, cannot take rides without a cavalier: ,
shall learn to ride,' said Bancroft, and in four weeks
shall have a cavalier. Bancroft kept his word. Despite lal3
sixty years, he took riding lessons, and on the Ist of gel
he end Meyerbeer were seen on horseback in the
T hiergarten."
