WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Up to noon
to-day no intelligence has been re-
ceived at the Navy Department con-
corning the steamer Tennessee. 1t
is suggested perhaps that the Com
mission, after they got to sea, re-
solved to commence their examina-
ton in a part of the island distant
from the cupital of San Domingo,
intending finally to visit President
Baez. This is given as the only
reasonable explanation of the delay
in not hearing from the Commission

WASHINGTON Feb. 0-The fact
that the Tennessee which sailed
from New York with the San Do
mlngo Commission on board, had
not been heard from, continues to
spread fears as TO her safety, but
there does not seem to be the least
foundation for apprehension, as since,
If her engines which are new had
got out of order, it would take her
20 or % days to reach San DJmingo

Lord John Russell, in a speech made al
the conference of the National Union for the
Suppression of Intemperance," over which
he presided, said that during the five years
ending with 1870, the temperate British peo
pie spent for intoxicating liquors the nice lit
tie sum of Ola, S42. 345 pounds sterling-about
twenty five hundred millions of dollars. This
amount is about three times as large as the
annual income of all the railways IN the Uni
ted Kingdom; twice as large as the capital of
all the saving banks; half as large again as
the national revenues for the whole time, and
fifty times as large as the collective income of
all the religious and philanthropic societies
in the country. We are sorry to add, on the
authority of the same competent witness, that
the working classes pay by far the greater
share of the enormous sum. The calcula-
tons given are made from the amount of IL
quors which pay duty.

money in the city treasury to pay workmen

the injunction is removed. There are rumors
that Tweed and Sweeney will resign their pres
ent offices and withdraw from all nominations
provided Judge Barnard will remove his in
junction ara ALLOW tal ciy business te go on.
Some ot Twecds friends advocate his rs
they think that by so doing Tweed would show
himself the friend of the people and win great
popularity. Mayor Hall declares that he was
elected for two years, and will hold his Office
in any event until legally removed. Tweed,
Hall and Sweeney were said to be consulting
on the subject of their resignation, but their
conclusion is not known.
Garvey was busy all last week transferring

This is not Dixville Notch, Franconia
Notch, nor any of the White Mountain
Notches, but Bear River Notch, and yet is
well worth visiting, 1t can be seen to most
advantage when the foliage is off the trees.
On one side rises a mountain wall, almost
perpendicular, and for some distance nearly
as smooth as masonry, from 1000 to 2000 feet
high, The only vegetation on its face is here
and there a spruce or white birch whose roots
find support in the crevices of the rock. On
the other side is the steep ACTIVITY of
Speckled Mountain, covered with a heavy
growth of trees, and as we have found from
experience hard and toilsome to climb. Near
the western terminus of the Notch, the little
stream which forms the head of Bear river
comes tumbling down from Speckled Noun
tain through a rocky gorge. About half way
up the mountain, sparkling cascade is seen
from the road, whore the Bear river stream
falls over crag into the depths below.
The road up Bear river leads to Lake UNI
bagog, Dixville Notch and Canada, and is
quite thoroughfare. SENIOR.

and on the other subterranean opening into
an interior underground dungeon.
