BosToN, Nov. 30.-The arrest of William S.
Tuckernman it is thought viii explain the
robbery of the Havana mail for the State of
Maine, missing about the 2lst of November
also the mail from Portland, and the mail
from Boston for New York, all missing on
the New Haven land route about the same
time. The missing Havana mail contained
about five hundred letters, one hundred Of
which were for merchants Of Portland, and
doubtless contained many remittances
The evidence against Tuckerman was con-
elusive, and it is understood he confesses his
guilt. He has been in the habit Of taking the
Sunday night Boston train from New York,
carrying with him large trunk, empty, ex-
ceptng a carpet bag full of clock weights, to
make it appear heavy. During the temporary
absence of the baggage master from his car,
he would steal mail bag and place it in his
trunk. His examination takes place at New
Haven, December Isl. He acknowledges he
has eight hundred dollaIs' worth of postage
stamps, and five hundred dollars on the Lee
(Mass.) Bank were found upon him. The
Philadelphia mail fer Boston has been the one
usually stolen, and the superintendents Of the
various railroads between New York and Bos-
ton, together with Special Agent Holbrook
and several postmasters, have been for several
weeks laying plans, which at last have ferret
ted out the robber The amount of his rob-
berries cannot be ascertaihed, tonight, but is
supposed to be very heavy.

The NATIONAL FINANCES Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Courier
and Enquirer says:
" The President and Secretary Cobb have
been revising the estimates, and have adopted
reductions which they suppose will diminish
the aggregate to fifty millions of dollars, ex-
elusive of certain large objects of expendi-
ture, which are technically termed contin-
gent, but which are certain to occur. The
expenditures Of the first quarter of the pres
ent year were twenty three millions. The
total amount of appropriations, definite and
indefinite, is believed to be eighty-two mil
lions Of dollars. The aggregate revenue will
be about forty five millions. AS the surplus
Of twenty millions on the Both of June has
dwindled to eight millions, and as all the in
tervening receipts, amounting to twenty four
millions, have been expended it follows that
the service Of the first five months, has alb
sorbed thirty-six millions of dollars. The
Mormon war will require an addition of at
least ten millions to the appropriations.
The correspondent also says that the Flori-
da war still forms very serious item of na-
tional expense; two thousand men are about
to take the field for winter campaign, in or

VOICE OF THE DEMocRAcY.-In addition to
the Democratic journals already quoted from, we
are glad to notice, by the extracts in some of our
exchanges, that the Columbus Statesmen, the
leading Democratic paper in Ohio, the Milwaukee
twis Meas, and the Portsmouth IN H. Ga
<ette, take correct ground in favor Of Gov. Walk
ers policy for the reference to the people OF han,
zas Of the proposed constitution, and in favor O.
its rejection BY Congress, should it be offered
there without such reference. The Concord On.
HI Democrutlc Standard also sustains Gov
walkers policy, and says that "the constitution
should b. submitted to the people OF Kanzas'
The Democratic journals Of the North which shall
take opposite ground in favor of the policy Of the
Administration, for the forcing Of the bogus con-
ti,ution down the throats of the people of Kan
sas without their consent we trust will be few
and far between. Meantime we shall probably
get the Presidents Message, week from today
or tomorrow when the precise position assumed
by Mr.. Buchanan viii be made manifest, of
course it viii be full oftruckling and subserviency
to the wishes of the slavery propsgsndiss, but he
will End it utterly impossible to carry either
branch of Congress with him in his course, if ne
adheres to his presens announced policy, as he
undoubtedly viii do.

TAR REPoRrED BREACH OF TRUsT.-The
amount Of acceptances said to have been used
by Samuel Lawrence is $3.50, 0O0--of which
$3.50, 900 were on the Middlesex Mills, $685.
600 ON the Bay State Mills, and SIS, 900 on
the Pemberton. On Wednesday no sales of
manufacturing stocks occurred but the bid
ding shows to what an extent confidence has
been shaken by the late reports. For Bay
State mills 1886 was bid, 40 asked, per share
Pacific Mills, 80 was bid and $3.50 was asked
per share; Middlesex Mills, 800 was bid.
and $500 was asked per share. The par
value of these stocks is $1,000 per share. The
last sales of the Pacific Mills were at $500;
the last sales of the Middlesex at $500. The
great depreciation of the Bay State is owing
to fear Of the stockholders of personal liabili-
ty, making them anxious to sell out. Accord
ing to the charter Of the company, stockhold-
ers are not holden, but it is intimated that
certain requirements of the law which corpor-
atoms are obliged to follow, have been omitted
by the company .-Lo1oeU Citssea.

KANzAs MATrEks.- Washington, Nov. 30.
Correspondence of Courier and Ezquirer.)
The substance of what passed between Gen.
Walker and the President on Thursday last,
is correctly given in the telegraphic dispatch
es with the exception that the President in
dictated policy CT "nasterly inactivity in
respect TO future proceedings in Kanzas. The
Convention and its future proceedings are ap-
proved, and Mr.. Walkers views are radically
dissented from; but it appears that the Presi-
dent viii not any farther interpose the power
of the army between the Convention and the
people.
Governor Walker has earnestly counseled
the free State men against any violence for
their protection against the imposition of a
sham constitution upon them, holding that
they have safe reliance upon the justice of
Congress. His policy is to guard against il
legal voting by the Lecomptians, and to pro-
test, by memorial addressed to Congress. He
thinks that Congress ought to, and will pass
an enabling act, under which the already
clearly expressed will of the people viii be
carried out.
In the meantime, unless the President re-
moves Gov. Walker, the Legislature will
meet, and the territorial government will go
on, notwithstanding the autocratic powers of
iGoiNCiAb SdlllDuns IL Is OUflOQS that TIE
contest will be a long one, and that the settle
ment Of it will be deferred until near the end
oil the ensuing long session.
CTTtbu'se Jurisprudence. 1.-The disagree
ment between the President and Gov. Walk
er, is confirmed most positively. All the in
terviews and friendly interventions resulted
in no approach to compromise, each insist
ing on his original position. Gov. Walker
considers the suggestion made to vote on the
slavery clause, and then refer back the re-
naming part of the constitution, by an act of
Congress, as Completing the question, and
aggravating the difficulties.
He is in favor of meeting the issue in the
present form, and avows his purpose of OPP
posing its acceptance with all his influence
The President is equally determined to sus-
tain the constitution, regarding it as the most
practical mode of reaching the conclusion.
He will make it test in the party. The
forthcoming message will emphasize these
opinions, the President being encouraged
thereto by the promise Of the united support
Of the South. He will not remove Walker,
being content with censuring his position.
Walker will not resign, but will remain here
to contest the point before Congress. Sena-
tor Broderick openly avows his general OPP
position to the administration. and letters
from Senator Douglas look in the same d.
rection with qualifications.

DR HBNRY BATES During more than a year
past, much has been said in the California papers
respecting claim made by the authorities of that
State against DR.. Henry Bates, late Treasurer,
for large sum, which it was alleged had been
unlawfuly taken from the Treasury by him. 1t
will be recollected that published letter from
California correspondent, in which the matter
was explained, and it was shown that DR.. Bates
had derived no personal benefit from the funds in
question, but that the parties in whose hands
they we're placed for transmission to New York;
to pay the interest due in that city on the State
bonds, were the real defaulters. 1t seems, how.
ever, that through some informality in the proce-
dure, DR.. Bates was held as personally liable, and
Judgment was rendered against him.
The last mail from California brings accounts
that the affair is about to be adjusted by Palmer,
Cook. & Co., who had the funds in their hands.
The Sacramento Bee says that both DR.. Bates
and 8. A. Rowe, implicated in the disappearance
Of the funds for the payment of the interest on
the State debt, are to be discharged. The follow
ing particulars are given;
The Judgment against Palmer, Cook, & Co.,
for the nun-payment of the July 1856 interest in
New York, amounts to some S75 600, and that
against Bates for the money given Rowe TO pay
the interest Of this year in New York, which he
failed to do, is S124,000. AS security for the
payment Of both these sums to the State the
State officers are to receive from Palmer, Cook,
& Co., real estate valued at S236.000, but which
it is thought will realize nearly if not quite the
full amount OF 100000 in cash As a part of
rue settlement, District Attorney Hereford, who
is acting in this matter by the authority of the
Court IS TO enter nolle prosequi in the criminal
case against Bates, and Rowe is to be set at lib.

The progress of Professionalism in.
France is SO great, and so much alarms the
Roman church, that society has been form
ed, whose only object is to arrest the on
ward march of the dreadful heresy. An ur-
gent appeal is made to all French Catholics
to join this association, for already has Avig-
non, the city of the Popes, seen protestant
temple opened within its walls the heresy
is already devastating Limousin, and pene-
trating into the Dauphinee, even into the
neighborhood Of the Notre Dame de la Selotto.
Paris already counts $4,000 protestants, and
France 100000 among thirty six millions Of
inhabitants. The means to be employed by
tie new association are a daily prayer for the
preservation OF the faith, and the propagation
OF Anti Protestant books.
