THE NEW BUDGET.

New YORK, June 3O.-After many
meetings, debates and wranglings, the
! city budget has been finally passed upon.
! At one portion of the proceedings the
mayor expressed his disgust rather We
hemently, but soon cooled down, and
in 2 short time yielded. The controller
1 then yielded to John Wheeler, pTesi-
dent of the tax commissioners, and to
! Mr.. Vance, president of the board Of
aldermen, and accepted the reduced
! budget prepared by them. The sum to-
4 tai of the appOrtionment is S3l so, ,39l,
/ as the total valuation is 81, l54, ,029, ,l76,
/ tie tax levy for this year will be about
| 81 78 on every 500.
THE vIRGINIUs AFFAIR AGAIN.
A Washington dispatch says that Mr..
/ Cushing, United States minister to
4 Spain, had made peremptOry demand
| upon the Spanish g vernment for full
/ indemnity for the VirginIUs prisoners
/ slain by order of Governor Burriel,
/ and for consequential damages. The
same authority makes Secretary Fish
say that the American government has
made prompt demand, and one quite
as decided and peremptory as that made
| by the British government, for indemni-
ty for the lives Of prisoners destroyed,
and loss 10 their families.
ORDER OF EXTRADITION.
Ex-Governor Solomon, counsel for the
German empire, has received an order
for the extradition of Carl Valentine,
on the charge of forging the name Of
Bischoff & Co., of Berlin, to bills of ex-
change amounting to about thirty thou
sand dollars.

day were fifty Thousand dollars in gold

THE JULY INTEREST
The July interest and dividends there
for, advertised to be paid July LIST, in
New York, amount TO Ss2,0Il, 10, in
cluding interest, which the U nited States
pays.
IMMIGRATION STATISTICS.
The decrease Of immigration for the
first six months of 1874 shows a falling
off of from twenty to about fifty per cent,
compared with the corresponding
months of 1873. The difference is chief
ly seen in the German element. In six
months Of the present year over eighty
two thousand immigrants have arrived,
and an unusually large proportion went
directly to the western States. Several
Of the steamships recently arriving have
been almost exclusively filled with
young Irish women, who came for the
express purpose Of hiring out as house
keepers, and accordingly have distrib-
uted themselves, in part, through New
York city, but still more largely over
the eastern States.
THE BEECRER LETTER.
Theodore Tilton has said % a reporter,
in reference to Beecher's letter asking
his forgiveness, ''tuRt the letter is ia
Beecher's handwriting and bears his
autograph which will pass current in
any bank in New York. It was written
and directed by himself, as unsolicited
as yUuf visit TO me now"

hundred wounded, the greater number
being laborers employed TO work on the

Eight ships We're required for the wound |
ed, whom the Malay chiefs permitted to !
be removed from the shore, as much to /
embarass the navy as to an act Of hui
manity. The letter adds that the news |
OF the complete annihilatiOn Of this sec /
ond Dutch expedition Is known In the |
official circles at Singapore, and is pur-
pOsely withheld from the press.
TILTON INTERVIEWED.

day, spoke as follows in reference to
Mr.. Beecher's letter Of apology: "The
letter was every word Mr.. Beecher's
own composition, signed by himself, I'm
his own behalf. did not demand this
apology. The fact that it was sent to
me unasked always added to the reluct-
auce with which / subsequently con-
templated making my defense against
Beecher's injurious course by which he
permitted his church 10 indict me be-
fore the council, Dy which the church
and council, together with DR.. Bacon
snperadded, have fallen upon me like
milestone, to crush me to powder. The
remainder Of his letter bore more heavy
quoted. Had / printed the whole, his
friend Tracy would not have said, Il
am glad of Tilton's publication ~
RsporteF-Many persons believe that
the latter part Of the letter would have
explained away the first part.

entitled to have it published. 1t Is ia
his power to have It published at Eay
moment.
