provided with ample water tanks for long yoya-

nut and ash panels with cherry mouldings and
walnut pilasters with handsomy carved cap. The
effect is very pleasing and makes decidedly the
finest finished cabin ever placed on a sail vessel
in this city. This part Of the work was super
intended by Geo. Buzlne, Esq. The midship
house is placed forward Of the hatch and
contains a roomy and convenient gallery on the

Kate FIELDS TEN "DAYs IN sPAIN."
There's not dull line in all Of it," must be
the canuid readers testimony az he closes the
volume. At first he may be disposed to think
the piquancy possibly excessive, and that the
comments and comparisons may be a tliAe too
"peart," but as he reads, he finds that the style
is we'll maintained, that it is not forced but
natural, and that there are no depths Of dulness
to disgust him with the brightness and warmth
with which he sets out.
Miss Field, being at Biarritz, the celebrated
French bathing-place, popularized by the En-
press's patronage, (where the bathing consists
Of jumping mp and down, under the protection

POINTS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SENATE AND
HOUSE
Among the points Of difference between the
two Houses on the 'Little Tariff bill, which now
les on the table of the Senate, are the following
The House inserted clause imposing tax Of
ten cents per pound on imported hops, and this
clause was stricken out by the Senate. A
clause inserted by the House, allowing manufac-
turers Of tobacco drawback upon all manufac-
tured tobacco exported equal to the amount of
import tax paid on the liquocice which enters
into the manufacture, was also stricken out by the
Senate. Another House clause, which the Senate
struck ont, imposed tax of one-twenteth OF one
per cent ON the gross sales of stocks, bonds,
gold and silver bullion after the 1st of July next.
There are some other minor points of difference
between the two Houses on this bill, and possi-
bly, it will be recommitted to the Finance Com
mittee and a new bill reported with the clauses
relating to hops, tobacco, and sales Of stocks.

The Pacffsc Mail.


AN INVESTIGATION TO BE UNDERTAKEN ny CON-
TIoNs EXPECTED.
The following was telegraphed the N Y.
Times from Washington, last night;
The Pacific mail jobbers must now meet the
charges against them before a committee OF
Congress. The Ways and Means Committee
finding an inquiry into the affairs Of this com
pany upon its docket of unfinished business,
has taken the case Immediately in hand. Yes
terday, at secret meeting Of the committee
subp9nas were issued for several persons,
whose testimony was desired, and the members
pledged themselves to secrecy till announce
ments OF the service Of the papers was received.
The late President Sage, Rufus Hatch, and G.
X. Garrison have been summoned. subpoena
was forwarded for Irwin, who is credited with
disbursing the funds by which the subsldies
were pulled through Congress. but service upon
him has not yet been made, though meas
ures have been taken to secure his
attendance. The investigation will probably be
public. There is no doubt that if the facts can
be obtained the inquiry will make genuine
sensation. Garrison has said things privately
in New York, which have come to the knowledge
Of the committee which il repeated here will
bring some members of Congress- into the case.
He is reported to have said. for instance, that q
certain Congressman threatened his life il he
should testify to the truth. Congressional in-
vestigations have not usually accomplished much
but the success OF the Committee on Ways and
Means last winter with the Sanborn frauds gives
hopes of its clearing up the mysteaies of the Pa.
ciic Mail. The Committee on Ways and Means
will begin the investigation soon as the wit
nesses summoned arrive, which may possibly be
tomorrow.
