The Cinbri8.

New YORK, May l0.-Cspt. Semetsohkin,
of the Russian navy, in an interview said that
the Cimbria was now under bis orders, and he
has his agents in different parts Of the country.
This vessel was good store and transport ship,
but ub6tted for any other service. He intended
to purchase fast sailing vessels and supplies,
but 60 letters of marque would be issued by the
Russian government for any privateers. and no
pr,vateerng would be carried on under the
Russian flag. 10 making these purchases 10
time Of peace neither any treaties or the laws
of the oouotry we're violated. A Russian squad.
ron would soon leave the Baltic for these waters
and the moment war Was declared between Rus.
STA aud Eogland they would 60 away and not
trouble this country. The Russian vessels
would be cruisers under the strictest naval dis.
cipliue, and the British prizes that fall into
their hands would revert to the Russian gov
ernment with the usual przs money to the
officers and sailors. Russian squadron had
already been stationed in the Pacific to watch
tho British there. The Captain was asked
what be could tell about the reports of raising
Ir,shmsn 10 this country for the Russian army
AID Of aid to Russia by the Irish. He replied
that no attempt had been made to draft any
Irishmau 10 this country, and did not believe
that there was any truth 10 these reports.

The new silver dollars are likely to clog the
treasury, for the West, which demanded them,
now refuses to take them. and in the East,
though they are drawn out of the treasury in
exchange for greenbacks, they ara returned im'
mediatey 10 payment of customs. As by this
latter little arrangement the importers save
about half per cent. Mr.. Sherman has threat.
ened to stop it by prohibiting the exchange of
silver for greenbacks; so that in either case it
seems that the dollar of the fathers will be con.
fined to the vaults Of the treasury, and be as
far from the children as ever. A good way to
relieve the treasury Of some Of them would DO
to make them exchangeable for the subsidiary
currency, which the banks will not receive. and
which, 10 consequence, has become the cause OF
great inconvenience.

Bill for a Free Bridge at the Three
Sisters.

House bill No. 1872 upon the House calendar
iu committee of the whole, directs the Score.
tary of War to cause to be constructed across
the Potomac river at or near the Three Sisters
Islands, near Georgetown, D. c., a substantial
iron and masonry bridge and causeway or ap-
proach; and the sum eff $4,000 is appro.
priated for the construction Of said bridge,
including substantial bridge over the canal,
and any and all approaches to the said iron
bridge. The bridge shall be 80 constructed as
not to interfere with the usual navigation
above the point of location as hcreinbefore set
forth.
The members of the free bridge committee,
appointed by citizens of this District and Vir.
GINA, to submit for consideration of Congress
their reasons for urging tho passage of the
above bill, say 10 their memorial: The past
policy of Congress has been to relieve all out.
lets and incts for trade and travel to the Dis.
trict. from tolls ADD eXactions of any nature.
4 ~ 10 this, however, We wish to note one
grave exception. At Georgetown the lessees
of the Alexandra canal have erected wagon
bridge upon the Aqueduct pierre, which sup
port the canal as it crosses the Potomac at
this point, and charge thereon system or
tolls which, for exborbltanoY, are not exceeded
10 the whole country, aud which act as bar
to immigration and the consequent improve
mcut ofthat large scope of Virginia adjacent
10 Georgetown. For years VIC have been en-
deavoring, by use Of sill honorable means, to
obtain relief from the ruiuous ex:ortlons OF
this corporation, but hava always been defeated
by their impossible demands. The
leases OF this Aqueduos at Georgetown can give
90 title, since they hold their franchise tor only
term Of years. Other means must
BE- sought to secure free artery to the i'm
mepse and c0nstan,ly increasing visitation to
the National Cemetery at Arlington and to
Fort Whipple, ADD to that vast trade and travel
from Virginia which has sought Georgetown
for more than one hundred years, through the
roads c,ucontratcd at this point by it's old
ferries, and which is now forced toto the cir.
cui!ous and incopvenieut routes given BY the
Long and Chaia bridges. 1t is nearly tour
miles from Georgetown toChaip Bridge, and
the same distance to Long Bridge, and
the need Of az intermediate bridge is impera
tive. This is supplied by these lessees, but
under such onerous exactiops as amount al
most to prohibition. These tolls are levied Npon

ENGLISH Failures.

of Mr.. Winter RafHes, cotton broker; Bunker
ley, Carter & Co., merchants; and VIM. Wal.
ker, the latter also provision merchant, with
liabilities of EGO 900, says 1T is feared that
these failures are only the foreruuners of many
more, unless the trade depression is shortly
overcome, of which there is DO symptom. Mr..
Raffl,s had "tulu7e' contracts for thirty thous.

tho government precisely az upon the public,
Notwithstanding the act OF July q, 1868, uo-
der which they erected their bridge, expressly
declares that all U. S. troops and munitions OF
of war shall be passed free.
This Aqueduct Bridge on March S, 1876,
was condemned by the Engineer department
u. 9. A., in strongest terms, as uDsate, rotten,
&c. And few weeks subsequent thereto one
Of its spans fell. Since tta0, all repairs to this
bridge have amounted to mere tlnkerlng, and
notwithstanding the substitution this winter OF
new timbers for some of those condemned by
the chief Of engineers we believe itas unsafe to.
dsy as ever 10 the past.
10 view of these facts there seems but one
way to avoid this grasping monopoly. which
compels the United States and the people to
pay tolls to reach Fort Whippe and Arlington,
brushes out most important material interests
of Georgetown, aud the District and on. of its
finest suburbs, by preventing travel, trade and
immigration, and that is to authorize the Sec
rotary Of War to erect our desired free bridge.

The Commune.

tematc preparations have been made in this
city for communistc uprising. They all de.
clarcd that business was never duler than now;
that very few arms were bought by residents
of the city, and that chief orders came from
Illinois, which is making great efforts to get
together good militia, and from California,
where organizations are arnlpg secretly to cX-
pei Chinese from the State. This morning
report was circulated that organizations 10
Brooklyn has assumed such threatening pro-
portions and attitude that regiments of National
Guard had been placed under waiting orders
10 anticipation of early active work.
This is no doubt due to the fact that large
number of clubs of workingmen have lately
been organized in Brooklyn, and at their meet
logs the widest sort of communism is talked.
Their ostensible purpose is purely political, and
no efforts at armiug or drilling have been made.
The number thus organized is considerable.
The ruuor that regiments had been put under
orders, 10 view of possible trouble from these
labor leagues, originated 10 this manner: There
is law of the State which requires that ia.
tigue uniforms, overcoats, and knapsacks OF
regiments shall be kept 10 arpories, and Col.
Ward Of the twenty third regiment, on Thurs
day, ordered more thorough obedience 10 this
regulation. which had been somewhat neglect
cd Similar orders were issued to- the forty
scverth regiment. Ii order to cause no useless
excitement orders were issued through captains
OF companies elbally, and consequent air
of secrcsy led to cXaggeratioD, which coupled
movements with preparations for taking the
field against the communists.
