to 1898, 01S, 436, leaving less than one mil
lion dollars to complete $500, OO0, 900.

The Iron tariff bill, is troubling the

duty of ten dollars per ton, and argue
for twenty and thirty dollars.
The Judiciary Committee, some
twenty or thirty members attending,
resolved lately, to remodel the entire
Judiciary system of the country, and
make one less associate Judge of the
Supreme court. But this action has
since been reconsidered, and next Fri
day is set apart for further reconsidera-
ton of the subject.
The Postofice Department is institu-
ting suit against all Postmasters in the
insurrectionary States who stand in
debted to the Government.
The bill for the relief of Iron-clad
officers still sleeps in the committee
where it will, no doubt, remain the rest
of the session.
The bounty money accruing to the
officers of most of the following named
vessels, viz: the Benton, Cairo, Caron-

high protective tariff. The committee

inent men in various parts of the coun-
try against such II course.

THE NEW CHICAGO TELEscoPE.-Of
the powers of this instrument Professor
Stafford says: "Hhe casual tests to
which it has been subjected have, IN
all cases, given very favorable testi-
mony to its working qualities; but II
seemed to me that something more de-
cisive would be of interest The search
after new nebulae occurred as one OF
the readiest means of testing its light
power, and L have, consequently, em-
pIoved some moonless nights in such
researches. The result has has been
that some twenty-three nebulse, which
had not before seen, were found-of
which only eleven appear to be in Sir
John Herchel's last catalogue, which
contains the results of his fathers and
his own researches, together with all
the other material since accumulated.
Thus twelve out of twenty-three APP
pear to be new. II will, of course, be
necessary to revise them very carefully
before making n final announcement
that all these are strictly dieoVerles;
but am confident that large part are
such. Another most favorable s1gr for
our telescope is in the descriptions
given. These in general Indicate that
these faint lights appear brighter with
our telescope than with HerschePs re-
Electors, or, at least, than with the tele-
scopes employed in the investigation in
question"

The definitive withdrawal OF the
French contingent from Mexico III Oc-
tober-though one third of his force
continue few months longer-will
leave Macmillan to the care of the
Mexican force which he has organized,
and the Austrian and Belgian contin-
gents. Gen. Niegre supercedes Cen
BaZaine and becomes the military di-
rector and real controller of the State.
He will have left to him, to defend what
has been so imperfectly won, the fol-
lowing troops 1000 native MeNicans,
under Gen. Meiia; 1000 under Gen.
Mendez, and 9, 200 under Gen. LoZada.
All of these are native Mexican corps,
The foreign legion commanded by
French officers, numbers 1900 men.
The Austrian contingent is 5000 and
the Belgian 1000, while II municipal
and police force of 5000 natives is also
to be counted in. The aggregate is 49,
600 men, of whom 1900 only are for
eignerS, A national guard has been
organized in every city under the pros
pective French withdrawal; but it is
not settled on which side nor how well
they would fight in case of difficulty.
Nor can il be told what number they
will reach.
The Liberals are naturally inspirited
by the near departure of the French,
and their organs represent the act as
the beginning of the end. They
have several political organizations
now engaged in preparing the election
of n President, according to the sub
verted Constitution of the country. One
of the tickets of the new organization
carries the names of Generals Santa
Anna, Juarez, Ortega and Don Doego,
formerly President of the Supreme
Court under Juarez. There are plain
and sufficient evidences of dislike for
MaXimilian in these facts, and it will
not be wonderful if, forsaken by his
most reliable troops and denied an ap-
proach to the military chest of the
French, he finds his home at Mexico
less quiet than his palace at Miramar,
and encounters graver troubles now
than those just passed. He lives in the
eye of constant guerrilla war, from
which he will not be liberated by cur
rent losses.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.


From The Independent 81 June 2lSt.
Prices have generally advanced for all
goods, under the direct influence of the great
advance in gold and cotton. The low priced
cotton brown heavy sheetings have been
bought up. Prices Will for the present be
governed by the price of gold. The demand
for consumption IS not large. Prints are
active for consumption as well as for specu-
lation to hold, at higher prices. Outside
dealers are in the market from all parts OF the
country. Ginghams are very active and
buoyant- WoOlens, though not so buoyant
or active as cottons, are In good demand from
the clothing trade, and prices are stronger
Thedemand for spring styles is over for the
season in the main, but autumn goods are in
demand. Delaines for fall style are in black
and white. Summer delRines are not want
ed. Blankets are much wanted, and hannels
are very active. There Is a large stock of
wooden goods on hand Foreign fabrics are
not very active, except for summer travelling
goods. The stocks are too large 10 be much
affected by the rise in gold at present. i
pacas, being scarce, are higher. Silks are
very quiet. 1t is not yet held quite certain
that the present heavy shipments viii con-
time, and consequently that the advance in
gold Will not be speedily lost, so that specu-
latiOn is at a halt, especially as stocks OF lor-
eign goods are heavy. Prices are, however
steady, and very little activity of demand
would cause an advance. The imports OF
dry goods are still large The value as en-
tered at the custOm-house for last week Is

The following extract from a private
letter from a lady in Havana, published
in the Washington Chronicle, shows
that exile has by no means abated the
rampageous disposition of the braggart,
ex-senator Toombs, who is represented
as the idol of select English circle in
the capitol of Cuba:

(naval) next to him that he had been
thirteen years in the Senate of the Uni
ted States; that he was a Confederate
General, and Confederate gentlemen
were gentlemen, &c. Captain l.. re-
marked, "This lady is not OF your way
