NORTHUMBERLAND, Pa, Sept. 23.-About 10
o'clock last night, as the watchman entered the
First National Bank, two men, who were con-
cealed under the counter, sprang out and seized
him. drew cap over his head, and tied him.
They then proceeded to open the vault but in this
they were unsuccessful They then blew out
the vault and the side of the main building by
an explosion of powder, but did not succeed in
forcing the safe open. Several private boxes,
containing Government bonds, etc., were bro
ken open and the contents taken. The bank
sustains no cash losses, except few stamps.

"A special bearer OF dispatches for the Tribune has
just reached London at this hour midnight, 22d),
having left Paris on Tuesday afternoon Before his
arrival no news since Sunday had been received
from Paris in London by either telegraph or post.
He Iepolts that all egress from the city has been
pofitvely prohibited by the French and that the
Germans also refuse permission to all persons to
pass their lines in either direction.
The PTussian advanced pickets are near Malmai-
son, between st. German and Paris. No French
Cps are in sight. They are all retired behind
Paris. The country around Paris is deserted except
by Prussians. pontoon bridge is thrown across

Count Won Beust's PoIicy-Important speech
of NJ. kIacZko.

Vienna Correspondence Paris Monde.
The policy of Count de Beust is at present assum-
ing somewhat clearer appearance. The Cabinet
of Francis Joseph now ventures almost openly on
three declaratons:-1. Italy shall not enter Rome;
q The Eastern question shall remain in Sdtu quo,
by virtue OF an agreement between the EmpeTo1s Of
Austria and Russia; 3. Prussia victorious, shall not
take either Alsace, or Lorraine, or Wurtemburg, or
Bavaria; otherwise Austria and Hungary will draw
the sword. Much more, NJ. KlaczkO, Counsellor to
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Deputy to the
Diet of Lemberg, has had the courage to pronounce
in public, two days ago, In the midst of the applause
of the assembly, an emphatic eulogy on France,
that noble nation, the protectress of Catholicism,
the mother of civilization, and to say that Austria
must necessarily arrest Prussia in her conquests, so
as TO prevent Central Euorpe from falling under the
yoke OF the savage bears OF Germany (sic). This
speech produced q great sensation both at Vienn
and in Galicia, for Nj. KlacZko is well known to b
it were the right arm OF our Chancellor. Qu
potest cdpere, cdpia 1t is true that when one is
the point OF having 100000 men under arms, fear is
no longer allowable.

FINANCE AND COMsIERCE.
EVENING TELEaRAPR OFY1cr,l
Friday. Sept. d. 1870.

The local money market to-day reflects II,
active condition of all branches of city trade as
well as considerable animation in speculative
circles. The change in the latter from extreme
dullness of several weeks duration has had
the effect OF hardening the rates for discounts
which were considered hard enough before, but
to-day it is difficult to quote the market. the
demands OF lenders being almost nominal and
quite arbitrary. But this is invariably the case
when the banks, either from real poverty or
other causes, shut down on business borrowers
What paper is taken at the banks is done nomi-
nally at legal rates, but in the street the range
is wide and very uncertain. SOLO per cent. is
perhaps, the mean range.
Gold is quiet and weaker. The sales ranged
up to noon between 1134 and 1881, closing
weak.
Government bonds are active, but somewhat
unsettled
Stocks were quiet, and prices are without
material change. Sales of old city skies at I02
small sale of State skies, second series, was
made at 106. Lehigh gold loan brought S916
Small sales of Reading Railroad at 4S2S; PENN
sylvania at $685. Lehigh Valley at 59ll; and
Camden and Amboy at 114%. 2694 was bid for
Philadelphia and Erie, and 1875 b. o. for Cata-
wissa preferred.
In Canal shares there was a fair demand for
Lehigh. Sales at 931S@3S11S, the latter b. O.
A few shares of Farmers and Mechanics Bank
sold at 123, and of the Second and Third Streets
Railroad at 80.
