Notwithstanding the denial in an official
quarter that an order has been given to pur-
chase Lime Point near San Francisco, it
appears that requisition was made on the
Treasury department for two hundred thous-

NEW York, August IA meeting of the
British residents of New York was held at
the Astor House last evening, to consider
the propriety of extending an appropriate
welcome on behalf of the British subjects in
this city to the Prince of Wales, on his
visit to New York. About one hundred per
sons were present. Mr.. Archibald, the
British Consul, was chosen chairman, and
made speech by denying on behalf OF the
British residents any intention to interfere
in any manner with the reception that
might be extended to the Prince of Wales
by the citizens of New York. A committee
of fifteen W as appointed to preliminary
steps for getting mp some demonstrations of
respect for the Prince, which while it should
not interfere with the public reception, yet
should testify the esteem in which his Royal
Highness is held by his future subjects now
residing in this country.

SYRACUSE. August 6th.-The attendance
1T The Democratic Convention at present is
light, but number of delegates will arrive
ou next train. II is expected that full rep
reservations will be present tomorrow
Very few outsiders muster yet. The only
leaders present yetare Hon. Gideon j. Tuck
er, and John A. Green, jr. August Schell is
not here yet, but is expected here in the
morning. Edward Croswell remained over
at Albany and will not be in Syracuse in
consequence of Indifferent health He is
said to favor a compromise and union.
The organization of which John A Green
is head appears to be the one generally re-
cognized by the delegates as regular.
Schell, it is thought, will not make any
great opposition to it, as many delegates
from New York City give in allegiance to
Green. It appears certain that straight tick
ct, both State and electoral, will be made, but
there is some effort amongst few delegates
at postponement for sthe purpose OF effect,
ing a compromise.
SYRACUSE, August 6.-The. eleven clock
train from the east, brings up some addition
to the delegates, including Augustus Schell,
and the Major of New York delegation
Dickson IS talked of for Governor by accla-
nation, but his wishes will be consulted
He Is expected tomorrow. If he does not
wish to run, probably Chas. O'Conor will
be the nominee.

EVANSVILLE, August Z, 1860.
MEssRs. EDIToRs.-I see, in your paper of
this morning, an article headed The Mails
that demands of me few words in reply.
Formerly, when any irregularities oc-
Cured with the letters or papers of our
" Journal friends" they would make their
complaints to me, and as far as my power
extended, it was always used in remedying
the evil.
Now, to the particular package OF papers
referred to by Mr.. Bischof, as the Journal
men don't specify save in the case of Posey.
vile. That we will learn more of after
awhile.
The route agent puts of mail but three
times week at Nash's Depot and Sanders
ville-Mondays, Wednesdays, and Satur-
days. l was from home at the time men
toned; but upon enquiry of my clerks, they
say that on that morning the regular way
mail pouch was full, and chat they put
portion of the newspapers in a second pouch
and drew it near the door, but in the usual
hurry with our morning mail it was over
looked. The following morning it was sent
out and there was no one at the Depot to
receive it. 1t was then kept over until the
regular day. This will explain that delay.
We never have political canvass in this
country, that the party in power is not all
wrong, and the outs are urging change.
The editors of the Journal and Volks-
5ote " have access to my Office, through
courtesy, and always have had, and they
ought to know that our business is conduct
ed just as usual.
We will now see how regular others
are. This morning the package Of Daily
Journals for Indianapolis was directed to
Evansville, and their entire newspaper mail
for the cars reached this office fifteen min
utes behind time and had it not been for
violation of knoa0n rule. they would have
remained over, and to- morrows mail might
have brought more complaints.
We don't claim that no mistakes occur in
our office, but as far as | am concerned,
try to correct the evils when brought to
light have my political opinions well
as other men, but as to being go biased in
them that l can't do justice to an opponent,
or that I would violate my oath of Office for
party ends-I most emphaticaI1y deny. /
think partizan paper hard up for material
when they deem it a duty to make such in
situations. Very Respectfully,

THR BRoDRRIcK MoNUMENT.-The Alta gives
description Of the several plans which have been
submitted to the Committee for the Broderick Mon.
ument. -Four plans were submitted by Messrs
Argent & Paltcnghi, and seven by Mr.. D. Sullivan
The cost OF these plans vary from &c. 500 to 24 900
The Alta has also seen another large and splendid
plan by some unknown person, but the cost Of thi.
plan would amount to sum far beyond anything in.
tended by the committee, and certainly far beyond
their means. II is the intention of the committed
to meet this week and decide upon some one of tbs
plans, but upon none to exceed $4,000 With
about $4,000 already paid in, they feel warranted in
making an engagement involving the sum of IS, 900
The monument win be placed over the grave where
the body now lies, in Lone Mountain Cemetery, OF
on elevation known as "Mount Vernon" 1t is &c
be hoped that the monument viii be commenced
and well under way during the summer.
