The speculation in gold seems to have reached
quiet stage and business to have slackened in
wonderful contrast to the activity which prevailed

temporary and in response to the general depres-
sion existing throughout the market. No matter
to what extent the mercantile interest may now

Defeat mt Worcester.
BOSTON. Sept. II, 1873.
Commenting upon the defeat of the Butler party
at Worcester yesterday, the Boston Advertiser
says sit is hardly known yet whether General
Butler and his companions were q squad or an
army when they started out on this expedition; but
they had a fine time for day or two everything
their own way. Nobody was looking out for
them: They not only proposed to take
Kansas and all the outlying province; and it really
looked something like ir. The Convention yestcr-
day has not only undeceived the people Of Massa-
chusetts IN this respect, but also, we trust, the
federal administration. whose confidence has been
abused and whose generosity has been wasted in
The Advertiser further says:-ssThe platform
unanimously adopted by the Convention contains
many things useful for example and instruc-
and the interference of federal ofiicers with their
retainers to defeat lair ana Tree expression
OF opinion II not iron clad are sufficiently firm IN
texture TO hold till another year. SO far as they
relate to national interests they do not overstate,
we think they fall short OF stating, the ull mean

Massachusetts Is not on the defensive. She asks
no favor OF the administration, and she Will not
allow Its incompetent subordiDates to crack its
whip over her head. She demands fair treatment

tive OF his party at Wosccster, the only one
anxious for its soundness and its purity. without
the courage to fight to the end he has the cow
ardly sagacity to understand that, although whip

pr0testations to the republicansm with which he
Is identified. AS two years ago, he gives up the

The following letter was received by Secretary
Robson from Professor Petermann, enclosing his
report on the Polaris eXpedition:-
GOTTA, August 9, 1873
SIR had the honor TO address to you yesterday
paper and map on your North Pole expedition,
and take leave to express to you my sentiments at
the very great success OF 1t in geographical and
scientific respects, as by the expedition the Ameri-
cans have ecpsed all other nations with
regard to Polar research, having pene-
trated nearest to the Pole, established the
navigability Of the Polar Ocean thus far, and by
finding driftwoOd musk oxen and making many
other most valuable observations, shedding quite
new light on geographical science The channel
most properly named after you, Robson Channel,
Is now the furthest object known on the globe to-
wards the Pole, and hail it with particular pleas
ure as small tribute towards your great merits in
furtherng geographical science by the interest you
bestowed on Halls expedition and the great
promptRess in sending out the FrOlic, Juniata and
Ttgress In the same Cause allow me, sir, to sub
scribe myself with very great respect, your most
Obedient and humble servant,
