THE INTERNAL REVENUE AND THE PANIC -
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
makes Il statement, in which he estimates
the falling of in the receipts of his bureau
for the months Of October and November ut
about $4,000, 900; that is, less by that amount
than they would have been except for the
panic. The receipts for the first sixteen
days of The current month were 81, III ,9SS,
against S4,SG3,420 for the corresponding Pc
Rod in the last fiscal year. Should the re-
ceipts for the remainder of this month bear
the same proportion to the receipts for the
first sixteen days, as did the receipts from
December II to December 81, 1872, to the
receipts for the first sixteen days of that
month, the entire receipts for the current
month would be S7,020,300. This would
seem to show that the worst Of the financial
troubles are over, so fur as it affects internal
revenue, and that soon receipts will reach
their former average. Had there been no
disturbance in monetary affairs there is lit
tie doubt that the aggregate receipts for the
current fiscal year would have reached

The Etrgini;Is to be Seized and Libclied

WASHINGTON, December 29.-It has been
asccrtained from an official source that on
the arrival of the Virginius at New York she
will be seized by the collector of the port
and libelled by the District Attorney, in ac-
cordance with instructions already for
warded to those officers. If on a judicial
investigation it be shown the vessel had q
register obtained by fraud she will be sold,
and the proceeds paid to the United States.
Spain can make no claim to the vessel but
if she should, it is positively certain our Go
vernmcnt would not entertain such claim.
The report that the Spanish Government re-
quires of the United States the restitution of
the NTginius and the payment Of indem-
nifty is not believed in official quarters.
New YORK, December 29.-The steamship
Georgia, at this port from Charleston, passed
the Virginius in tow off Cape Roman on
the oath instant, at =. 81.
John j. Patterson, of this city, has sent a
letter to Secretary Fish, dated the Goth in
slant, declaring that he is the registered
owner of the steamer Virginius. He pro.
tests against the opinion Of the Attorney
General, by which he is condemned unheard
on &c parte testimony. He states that the
Solicitor of the Treasury gave him bill Of
sale Of the steamer, and thereupon he pat
terson) truly swore that he was the owner,
and the Government gave her an American
register; aud that any testimony charging per-
jury on his part is false. He has hitherto kept
silence by advice of counsel and because he
has not been notified or called upon by the
Government to testify or defend himself in
relation to the matter. He requests that
copy of the evidence upon which the Vir-
glnius was condemned by the Attorney.
General be sent him, and that he be notified
of the time and place for the examination of
any other witnesses. A copy Of the letter
has been sent to the Attorney General.

tuoIEs--Ihe lSraeites seem to have the
satne troubles in regard to choirs that the
Chria.iaus have. a Jewish paper published
In New York has the following:
"a number Of our city synaSogucs are
much exercised on the choir question.
Probably considerations OF finance as well
as Of fitness have stirred up the discussion ;
but whatever causes induce one congreSa-
ton 10 diminish its choir, another to increase
il, and third TO abolish it altogether, there
can he no doubt that DO canon Of synagogue
music exists among US. Obviously the Syna-
gogue is place Of worship for The people.
TO become interested in the sers ice, then,
they must take part in 1t, not by sitting
quietly in their seats and idly gazing about
them, but by joining in the prayers as far
as possible. Let choir OF four or tive be
trained to lead the singing, and the congre-
cation be allowed TO join in. After time
harmony will be secured. We have adopted
expensive chors from the custom OF Christ
ian churches; and now that the most repre-
sentative Christian congregations are return
Ing 10 congregational singing possibly we
may initiate them in this matter from rea-
noDs OF economy and common sense"

THAT BRILLIANT METEoR.--fCo Correspond
rice OF lac Tsitlrssse
Spring. AID, Christmas J lay, lSt3,--It was
my happy fortune last evening to witness
one OF the most magnificent spectacles have
ever beheld-the passage Of a meteor Of sur
passing splendor.
At O'Clock was startled by brilliant
light encompsssing me, and by the rapidly.
moving shadows. On looking up saw a
meteor about one-sixth the size of the full
moon, Of elongated shape, the body of it Of
an intense greenish white, and the head or
front part red or blue, with some scintilla-
tons. A trail extended about three degrees.
When l first observed 1t, it was due south,
and Of m elevation OF about fifty degrees.
The light was so brilliant that the family
within the house were startled By the dim.
ming of the lamps and by the greenish light
upon the wall, and rushed to the windows
70 see the cause. The whole landscape was
illuminated for the distance of mile.
A laborer, about two miles from my point
of view, was startled by the sudden light
and the moving shadows OF the trees, and
thought some concealed boys were playing
Christmas trick upon him. On looking up,
he says "he saw something a great deal
brighter than the moon that moved about q
mile and half through the sky"
After the disappearance of the meteor. at
times variouSly estimated from one-half
minute TO four minutes, the latter being my
own judgment, there vas sharp report that
shock the windows, aud some say the earth.
From the length Of time after the disappear
ance of the meteor | supposed it the report
q cannon.
l confess was too much startled and too
lost in admiration to make accurate estimates
as to the height and direction, but the above
are approximately correct.
My position is in Sandy Spring, Maryland,
six hundred feet above tide. water, eighteen
miles north of Washington, latitude 80 de-
grceS minutes.
