WASHINGTON, December 25.-Further rev.
elations show that Russell, Majors & Co.
contract has two years to run. The alleged
acceptances of the Secretary of War are said
10 consist of mere memoranda, stating that
so much money would be due on the execu-
, ton of certain service under the contract for
the transportation of army supplies which
Russell used from time to time, as collateral
security in borrowing money. Such memo
randa and certificates have heretofore been
given by the other departments under like
circumstances.
GODDARD Baily, in his letter of confession to
Secretary Thompson, says that no officer of
the Government had any completely or the
slightest knowledge of the fact of his having
abstracted the bonds and it was confined to
the persons directly implicated and hereto
fore named. The bondsmen for Mr.. Bailey
surrendered him to-day, and he is now in
jail. As to the bail required of Russell, it
having been agreed to take $200,00O outside
of the jurisdiction of the Court, Senator
Green and Representatives Woodson and
Barrett all of Missouri, have gone his Sc
curity for the amount. The remaining
$300OO is being made up by citizens OF
Washington.
The proceedings of the two Congressional
Committees on the crisis excite no particular
interest, as it is not supposed they will DE

Since General Cass has retired from the
State Department, the visits OF distinguished
gentlemen have been numerous, including
the representatives from foreign Govern

The Duke Of NewcastIe,s Views of the
United States ....

A grand Masonic banquet took place in
the Corn Exchange, Nottingham, on the 7th
inst, to commemorate the installation of
His Grace the Duke of Newcastle as Grand
Master of Nottinghamshire. The Duke of
Newcastle occupied the chair; and among
other droll things, said that the attachment
of the American people for Queen Victoria
amounted to passion.
His Grace, in proposing "The Rest Of the
Royal Family said that it had been the lot
of the Prince of Wales, at the age of nine
teen, to render to his country a great and
essential service. Many q man born of a
royal family has descended into the grave
rendering TO his fellow-men much less good
service than has been rendered by this
young Prince. Whatever may be the des-
tiny which Providence has reserved for him.
it is proud thing that he can reflect on this
voyage across the Atlantic. He believed
that nothing so much as that journey could
have cemented the good feeings-he said
cemented, mind, because he was convinced
that they were previously entertained
which exist between the two countries on
the opposite sides of the Atlantic. But not
only is it desirable that the existence of those
good feelings should be known; it is singu-
larly fortunate that they have already been
placed on record and propagated by the
press.
The feeling between the two countries
just now is one of peace and good will, and
woe be to us when the day shall come that
that peace is broken up. He would not say
that thatpeace is likely to be broken up, but
he would say that it is less likely-that the
likelihood of such an event has been greatly
postponed by that which has taken place.
This he could say Of this extraordinary visit
that they witnessed in New York and in
every other city of the United States an
amount of enthusiasm which was perfectly
extraordinary from the moment at which
they entered Detroit till their departure
from Portland.
With one solitary exception, they met with
nothing but enthusiasm and, in fact, he did
believe that the visit of the Prince of Wales
to America has done more to cement the
good feeling between the two countries than
could possibly have been effected by quar-
ter of a century of diplomacy. The two
great peoples on either side of the Atlantic
bave disclosed those feelings of fraternity
which they entertain toward each other,
His Grace concluded by proposing "The
health of the rest of the Royal Family
with which be coupled the name of His Royal
Highness, the Prince Frederic William of
Prussia.

Allowing no one to 60 home to tell his wife
of the accident he calmly concealed his arm
and walked home himself afraid the shock
to his partner would be as serious as the
accident to himself. He walked into the

minute or two, and then gradually broke the
matter to his wife. By-and-by surgical
assistance was procured, and Mr.. Mease bore
up with his pain until the operation was
performed, when he fell into deep swoon

A ABoRIeINAL yIsLT.-SSeveral Winnebago
Indians, with their families, passed through
Dubuque, Iowa. on Monday, bound on a
visit to o portion of their tribe in Wisconsin.
They were all mounted on ponies, and had
several led horses laden with baggage They
were rather aine-looking lot, and seemed 10
feel q good deal of pride in the attention
they attracted. One old fellow, with his rifle
laid handily across the front of his saddle,
led the crowd. He was in full Indian cos
tune, with the addition of Kossuth hat,
into the band ofwhich was thrust a turkey
feather. The rear was brought up by a gal
liant young brave, whose richly-mounted
rife lay across the front of his saddle, his leg
gings profusely ornamented, his long black
HAIR parted in imitation of the whites, and

The ANNUITY FUND OF THE LATE BRITISH
CHAMPIoN.-BelPS Life of the Sth instant re-
marks:
The subscriptions forwarded to us for the
ex. champion, in token of the estimation in
which he is held by the public generally, for
the indomitable courage displayed in his last
pugilistic encounter, were on Tuesday last
handed over to US by the gentlemen who
have kindly consented to act as trustees for
Tom in the matter, and to lay out the money
to the best advantage for Sayers during his
lifetime, and his children after him. The
money, which amounts to the extraordinary
sum Of e., ,8l4, will be so secured that it can
not be touched by Toms creditors, should he
be so imprudent as to get himself involved !;
neither will Tom himself be able to assign
away or anticipate his income. 1t is, more
over expressly provided that in the event of
his again entering the ring, the trustees shall
at once devote the who,e amount to the iu-
terests of his children, so that it will be seen
all future challenges Will be utterly useless,
and at this no one will rejoice more than we
do ourselves. Tom Sayefs, by his exploits
in the P. r., even had the "Great Interna-
tionaI Prize-fght," so called, been omitted,
had already done quite enough for glory
without seeking further honor in a field bet
ter left to younger and fresher men than
himself Such collection raised and for
warded to one journal for such an object, is
without parallel in the history Of the press.

Trada and Commerce.

The condition of the foreign commerce at New
York, Is given by the Journal OF Commerce, and
exhibit. many important facts. The imports from
foreign ports for the month just ended, larger
by two millions than for any previous January in
the history of the trade The cutting off to u large
extent Of the Western and Northwestern trade by
the revulson of 1857 increased the desire TO open
fresh channels with The South, and to effect this it
il necessary to display IN earlier assortment a.
the trade from that section begins several weeks
before the ordinary period for Western purchases.
The total imports for the month amounted Ia
$2l, 7JG,213, of which S22S,O5O were IN specie.
There has been decrease of the stock IN bond
amounting to nearly one and half million dol
lars, (including the withdrawal for expcrJ) and
leaving the present stock III warehouse but little
over ten millions The general impression is that
the imports at all the ports Of the United States
for the current fiscal year. will be larger than for
any previous year in the history Of the country.
The amount received from customs at New
York for tho six months of the fiscal year ending
