NEW YOKK.
Ross Tweed.

New York, December 6. 1t appears that q re-
port was current last night among the police that
tug boat was seen cruising in East river, Satur-
day evening off 59th street, and it is thought
Tweed escaped in it. Foster Dcwly, Tweed 8
counsel was last seen at the Hoffman House, a
few moments before the departure of the 10 o'clock
train for Boston, Saturday morning. lie took
that train saving he was going TO Boston and
would return Tuesday. Il was noticed with some
surprize that Mr.. Dewly took with him a large
trunk, which seemed unnecessarily ample for a
three days trip
The Commercial says further in rcatlon to the
British bark Lord Clarendon, that the price paid
for her was Sl4, 800 and that Capt Russell, a
nephew of Tweed was put in command. She took
only 6 600 cans of oil when she could have carried
5000. 1t is reported that her real destination
is South America.
The Brooklyn Argus reports that a closed car
riage was driven TO dock in South Brooklyn
about I O'Clock Saturday evening, and re-
manned one hour and a quarter.
There was only one occupant, who walked tho
dock anxiously for some time. Finally the car
rage moved fifty yards from the dock and three
men including the one mentioned and another re-
semblng Tweed entered it and were dri ven away
No clue has been obtained as to the carriage, but
search of Brooklyn is probable.

Freight Rates.
1t is believed that an advance in Heights from
New York to Chicago to one dollar per one hun.
bred pounds will be made the 18th inst, but q
prominent agent says the difficulty in the way OF
making the advance at once, is on account of the
low rates from Boston to the West. Represents
tives of trunk lines say it is the duty of the New
York Central to bring up n. y rates, but its rep
icsentatiyes say that any attempt to force an ad-
vance on their part would only result in throwing
Boston business into the hands of the Grand
Trunk ruroad of Canada, and they do not pro
pose to lose business in this way.
Prisoners Escaped.
There wa. considerable excitement at Ray
mond street jail Brooklyn. this morning conse-
Quent upon the discovery of an escape of prison

ferries to watch for their crossing.

different countries may be had by observing little
incidents Of everyday life in the streets and So
rambling with his hearers through the streets Of
the Old World, he enlivened the way with many
an interesting incident, and graphic description,
contrasting European characteristics with our
own, very justly comparing the attachments of

epcy.
As specimen of English bluntncss, an Eng

knave: "He is a rascal and ought to be hung; is
he a relation of yours /" The Yankee would have
first found out the relationship, and then tempered
the hanging accordingly. Castiian pride was
