Another cable special from Madrid

which the speech of President Figueras
has been received by the more outspoken
Of the people Of Spain, and the hearty
congratulations Of the government sent
in by the people as soon as its tone and
temper we're known, the officers Of the
army Of the republic have resolved TO

now engaged in the preparation of their
procurement. Their settled pro-

giving an account of the arrival Of the

tween Secretary Robson and Captain
Tyson, says the interview lasted from
three until after six o'clock yesterday
afternoon without eliciting anything of
special Importance. Nothing was said
respecting the death of Captain Hall or
how he became separated from the Po-
laris. The Secretary stated in the be-
ginning that the first object of the Gov
eminent was to aggregate what we're the
facts having any bearing upon the
purpose for which the expedition was
sent out. The Secretary will endeavor
to ascertain the facts in relation to the
death of Hall and the separation OF Ty-
son and his party from the ship. Ser
peant Meyers, of the Signal Service
corps. will be examined, and then Joe
and Hannah, Captain Halls faithful
friends and guide. Hans
Christian will also be interviewed as to
the country over which the sledge expe-
dition passed. The crew will probably
be examined as to the discipline and
treatment on board. After that they
will be paid off and discharged. Captain

20 to New London. The Frolic will
remain here until the investigation is
finished.

The Sun of this morning says the
firm of Stocking & Co., which has had
a monopoly of the general order busi-
ness of the custom.house, has just dis
solved partnership. Colonel Stocking
has now retired from the firm, which is
composed of Colonel Leet and silent
partners. The Sun adds that Generals
Porter and Balareck are said to have
a large interest in the business, but the
profits of last quarter we're very light.
The present rates for storage Of impert-
ant goods are one-third less than those
charged by Leet & Stocking last year,
and the leading merchants have patron
lied other firms whose tariffs have
been approved by the Chamber of Com
merce. 1t is probable that the remain
ing members of the firm will retire from
h,,;raos in the firm in few months.
