RICHMOND, Jan. 81, 1870.
The conference between the creditors Of the State
of Virginia and the committee of the Legis
lature has been continued to-day, and the
freest interchange Of opinions has been had.
The creditors have been fully informed
as to the revenues of the State and her impaired ca
pacity pay the debt. They compelled to recog
nize these facts. and come to the conclusion that
whatever their legal rights may be they cannot
long be enforced against ad-
verse public sentiment. The principal of the
debt is about $50 10000 and the aggregate OF
crucd unpaid interest about s5,00o.0oo. When the
conference adjourned this afternoon it with the
understanding that it would convene at eleven o'clock
tomorrow morning. when formal proposition will
be submitted by the creditors and bill will be pre-
sented cmbodying the proposition thus made
CREDITORS PLAN FOR SETTLEMENT
The bill will probably provide for funding the
principal of the debt in bonds bearing three per cent
interest for . few years, say five: four per
cent interest for the succeeding twenty
five years, and five per cent interest for
say the next succeeding ten years. thus max
ing the bonds for forty years with coupons
attached receivable in payment of all public dues,
and exempt from all State taxation. The accrued in
teres will be funded at nifty cents the dollar.
will be paid in full in equal yearly instalments,
ming through twenty years, without interest 1t is
believed that such bill be passed, and that it
will not require all oppressive rate of taxation.

Scilly from the east-sottheast accompanied
by heavy rains. The gale is also severe on the
southwest coast of Ireland. The pressure is
falling rapidly, and the indications are that
tempestuous weather will prevail for few
days. The following warning was sent
from the Meteorological Office in London to
all the stations eastward, from Exeter to
Southampton, and also the Channel
Islands, ''Strong gales are blowing on

COMMERCE IN THE ARCTIC.

NEW FIELD FOR AMERICAN TRADE--WHAT MAY
BE DONE FROM TIE PACIFIC PORTS.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.l
LONDON, Jan. 81, 1879.
The following letter, from M. Sibiriakoff,
is forwarded for publication
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALp:-
The success of Professor Nordenski0lds
passage from the mouth of the Lena River
to East Cape induces me to call your atten-
tion to proposition which, if not new, has
deserves. The experience of American
whalers in the Western Arctic Ocean
proves that navigation remains open in
the waters north of Behring Straits until
late in the season, whalers frequently re-
turning through the straits in October.
Why would it not be practicable for steam
ers laden with American merchandise to
reach the mouth Of the Lena River from
San Francisco and discharge their cargoes
at point from whence they could be trans
ported by other steamers to Yakutsk, an
important point of distribution for North
ern Russia?
THE RETURN VOYAGE.
The steamers could return to San Fran
cisco the same season, as am convinced
that navigation is practicable long enough
to make the voyage and return through the
straits before the closing in of the ice. Be-
sides the transportation of grain from San
Francisco there are many articles, such as
sugar, which command sufficiently high
prices at Yakutsk to secure profit, irrespec-
tive Of return cargoes Of fish, fat, mann
moth ivory, &C., which could be obtained.
Yours, sincerely, E. SIBIRIAKOFF.
