berry. The bonds stolen belonged to the
Middlesex Institution for Savings, and pri-
vate depositors. The surplus Of the bank

condition to meet all demands against it, and
will continue business as heretofore. Bro
kers, bankers, and others throughout the
country are warned against negotiating the
bonds, as payment has been stopped.
There are no new Developments in regard
to the robbery. The Cashier is very care
full and trustworthy person, and relied i'm
plicity upon the combination lock Of the safe.
which the robbers seem to have opened with
but little difficulty. The bank is situated in
the most popular part of the town, and the
man must have been perfectly acquainted
with all its surroundings, and spent much
time in the preparation Of his scheme.

Emperors Of France, of Brazil, and the Kings
of Spain, Denmark and ltaly, have formed a
treaty in connection with company for the

Cape de Verde Islands, from which point the
Atlantic ia to be traversed till Cape San

this point branch line leads to the principal
cities of South America. and another is to
be carried through the West India Islands to
New Orleans. The high contracting powers
agree to afford all the required facilities and
guarantees for its construction, contribute
the necessary steam vessels TO be employed in
laying the cable, and maintaining the rights
and interests Of the company for ninety-nine
years. The emperor of France gives four
millions, snd the Emperor of Brazil three mil

will be of use to the Agriculturists of this

1t is not with any intention Of prescribing
nostrums that we undertake the publication OF
this Bulletin we cannot cure where we do
not understand the diagnoses of the cases /;
we recommend neither foolish distractions
around the trunks of trees which winged in
sects can surmount, and their Larvae have
neither the desire nor the necessity to pass !;
nor expensive decoctions which hurt the plant
and which the insect survives. We simply
desire, by means of original Papers, to bring
out the true history of each and all of our
noxious Insects, and it is believed that, this
attained, simple means will suggest them
selves by which the evil may be subsided-in
certain cases such easy remedies as burning
the stubble and vigorous fall ploughing.
To aid us in our purpose, we ask of each
one to whom this Circular may be addressed
that you give us from time to time, by letter
or otherwise, such information as may result
from daily observation, and that you forward
alcoholic phials containing specimens of the
noxious insects Of you vicinity as you may
collect, for determination and study, to the
Secretary of this Institution, at No. 5l8
South Thirteenth street, Philadelphia.
We expect that the various scientists who
have published Papers in the " Proceedings"
OF this Society, and those of other Scientific
Institutions. will kindly further our ends by
submitting to us papers on this special sub
jec!. We shall endeavor to answer all Cor
respondents on the subject through the me-
dunn of the " Practical Entomologist." while
we urge that the active cooperation of all
interested parties will alone insure success in
an undertaking which is labor of Public bene-
fit, without monetary recompense, and which
we are peculiarly able from our knowledg and
collected material to advance successfully.

July last the internal revenue receipts have
been more than seventy FIVE millions, and
they are expected to reach ninety-fve millions
at the end Of the quarter. But as the in
come tax is included in these returns it would
not be safe to make them the basis OF an es-
timate of receipts from the same source for

after will not appear as too high an estimate
when the facts that commerce and industry,
indeed every human pursuit, has experienced
mighty impetus since the close OF the war,
and that the sta es late in rebellion will now
become Taxpayers. From customs the re-
ceipts have lately been at the rate Of SlO,-
100000 a month, and It is more than pruba-
BILE that with the re-opening of the southern
markets lmportations Of foreign wares of
every description will be very heavy for some
time. $74,000,000 year can be safely re-
lied on. Thus the receipts Of the govern

ALABAMA. - In the Alabama convention
given by the war upon the great issue oil
union or disunion, by declaring the ordinance
Of secession null and void, instead Of re-
cognizing its possible validity by repeal
The telegraph now reports that the conyen-
ton came up to the second point which we
named, by deciding by vote Of 81 to IS, to
submit its propositions Of amendment to
popular vote. This is the fair and safe method.
If the majority of the people of Alabama
will not agree to the measures of re-organizs-
ton devised by the convention, let the fact
be known, and so save all question as to
starting state government on that basis
If they do agree to those measures, then we
have them bound beyond question or cavil to
the entire abandonment of the whole seces-
sion doctrine.
The Alabama convention, we will remark,
Appeals in general to have taken the seces-
sionist fraction of lite number over tolera-
bly, rough road. 1t passed another ordinance
by vote of 60 to 10, declaring void all debts
contracted by the state Of Alabama in aid Of
the rebellion, and prohibiting their assump-
ton or payment by the legislature, and also
prohibiting the assumption Of any part of the
debt contracted by the confederate govern
ment or its agents. This is measure which,
however convenient for the state, will be Sc
riously inconvenient for some of its citizens
no doubt. On the other side of the water,
we appTehend, cotton bonds will suffer a
further decline of one per cent, and the next
meeting Of bondholders at the London Tavern
will be even more lugubrious than the last,
when it is known that one of the " sovereign
states thus declines to recognize the obiga-
ton Of the late confederscy .-Boston Adv.

A FREE Pass IN NIBGGN1A.-Our read
ers will doubtless be glad to learn that
thoroughly loyal newspaper is to be published
at Richmond, by Rev. James w Huunicutt,
a clergyman, of the Baptist denomination,
who edited religious newspaper at Freder-
ieksburg till the Office was broken up by the
rebellion. In a private letter to us Mr.. H.
says If you could only know half what we
poor Union refugees have to endure on our
return home, know your sympathies, infu-
ence, and aid would be enlisted in our behalf.
We have been robbed Of all our property,
we are left poor indeed-and prosecuted,
prosecuted, and ostracised by the secession
lists. Sir, believe me when | tell you that
the spirit Of slavery, rebellion, hate, and re-
venge is as truly alive in the hearts of these
leaders in Virginia, as ever. They want the
reins of Government, and they are determined
to have them. We are struggling to get up
a loyal paper. II you please, lay this subjec,
before your friends, and ask them to aid us
if they possibly can. Any assistance they
may give will be most thankfully received
1t is ,he cause Of freedom, humanity and us
uce"
We commend this invitation to the favor
Of all those who are disposed to aid the cause
of loyal liberty in the South.

The Rev. James w. Hunnicutt, an old
editor and and Virginian Of well approved
loyalty, who lectured in Montpelier last win
ter, has lately started in Richmond a paper

certain sound. Witness the following pro-
gramme laid down in the first number:
" The unconditional preservation Of the
Union. Tie perpetuity Of Republican form
of government. The unconditional. universal
freedom Of all men. The equal rights Of all
loyal American citizens before the law, with
out regard to race or color. The establish.
ment of systems ofgeueral education through
out the length and breadth of our country,
for the benefit Of all classes, irrespective Of
race or color. The rights of prescribed u

inscribed on our banner, we unfurl it to the
breeze, and in Gods name, and in the name
Of suffering humanity, send it forth to the

work without it and prove his sincerity aud
repentance. In conversation with a North
ern gentleman, on the consequences of the
war, Cheatham said that it was the height of
absuidity 10 preach treason or rebellion now.
That is played out" He said :" We have
been decently and badly whipped, and think
mat every sensible man Of the Confederate
army is ready to acknowledge it. Slavery,
