The Pacific Mail steamship Com
pany subsidy - Lemafre's stare
ment Denied.
New York, April l5-Russell Sage
President Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, makes the following state
ment concerning the appropriation o
| $6O0,0 900 for their use in Washington il
1872: During the Stockwell admins
tration the Pacific company applied tC
Congress for subsidy. Stockwell had
told his successors in Office that he had
been induced to make this application
by one Irwin, the companys agent at
San Francisco, California, who had in
formed him (Stockwell) that an English
company was about to start an opposl-
ton line between China and San Fran
cisco. aud II was essential that the Pa
ciiic Mail Company should have sub
sidy in order to compete satisfactorily.
Stookwell further told them that having
become alarmed he employed Irwin to
20 to Washington to lobby for the COM
pany. Irwin hired magnificent house,
entertained royalty and procured
subsidy, but his bill amounted to
5000, 900, and be had the amount blindly
charged on the books of the company to
the San francisco agency. No infor-
nation was obtained from him as to his
expenditure. When the Sage admins
tration came into power they asked for
a bill Of items, bat Irwin suddenly left
for Europe and has not since appeared
there. The company are taking meas
ures TO recover 100000 worth Of prop
erty which he had bought in Philadel-
phia and transferred to his sister. Elk
President Stockwell is also in Europe.
Captain Lenaire's statement about his
abandonment Of the steamship Europe
and the action of Captain Thomas of
the steamship Greece in preventing his
return, has been put in the form of an
affidavit, and will be forwarded to the
French maritime authorities. All the
officers of the Greece deny the state
ments of the Frenchmen, and Captain
ThomasI says they viii find that
their publications will place them in
much worse position than they would be
if they had not said a word of the whole
occurrence.
The Brooklyn Presbytery has reafirm-
ed its decision that the preaching of
Miss Smiley in Rev. Dr. Cuyler's church
was violation Of the injunctions of the
General Assembly.
A fire al "a and Sc Revil street this
morning damaged Nichols stock about

The sale of Mile. Deverger's diamonds
drew together an immense crowd at the
Hotel Drouot the other day. II is a
shame that Paris has no better place for
public sales, for the Hotel Drouot is
badly arranged, and too much cut up
and divided into separate rooms to ac-
commodate the masses Of people which
the announcement OF great sale
usually brings together. The jam at the
Duverger sale was perfectly terrific, and,
as usual, the greater number of the per-
sons present had no intention of buying
but were brought thither by mere curl
osity. The magnificent necklace which
contained twenty-seven large DIAMONDS
of the purest water, was the irst article
sold. 1t was not disposed Of IN one
lot, but was divided into fourteen,
which produced the sum OF one nun
bred aad fifty thousand francs. Inc
earrings, which we're composed OF Two
superb solitaires, with pendants each
formed of single pear-shaped diamond,
we're sold for seventyhve thousand
francs, while a single large rectangular
diamond brought fifty thousand francs.
The most beautiful Of all the ornaments
is to be sold to-day 1t is a brooch
formed Of large sapphire set in dia-
monds, and with a sapphire pendant.
This superb trinket is said to have cost
200 600 francs (S4O,000). Who would
not be French actress? The oldest
part ofthe sale was the disposal of the
morocco and velvet cases which had
once contained these sparkling treas
ures. and which, in several instances,
were stamped with the coat.of.arms of
the noble or royal donor. This lot was
sold to an old clothes vendor OF the Rue
de Provence for the sum of sixty francs.
