BIC GoLD SHIPMENTS.

Indications That S2 ,S50,OOO is to be Ex-
 ported-syndicate May Make It Good.
 New York, Aug. 2o-It was indicated early this morning that to-day was likely to prove notable in the matter of the withdrawal of gold from the sub treasury. Soon after 10 o'clock, the hour at which Wall street is generally supposed to commence business, it was announced that the firm of Hos ker Wood & Co. would withdraw from the sub treasury S1,75o,0OO of the precious metal in exchange for United States notes-thus depicting the gov ernment gold reserve to that extent.
 This was followed up by the an- nouncement\ that the firm of Nesslage & Fuller would withdraw $100,0O0 in gold, also in exchange for United States notes
 The gold withdrawn by Hoskier, Wood & Co. will be exported on the steamship Majestic, sailing for Europe tomorrow.
 Tn part it represents payment for United States bonds placed abroad by the government bond syndicate under the terms of it's bond contract, but since resold here to Hoskier, Wood & Go. A representative of the latter firm said this morning that another gold ship ment for Saturday is under contempla- tion by the firm, and third shipment would be made on Tuesday unless ster- ling exchange rates weakened suffi- ciently to make it improbable to ship gold.
 The gold withdrawn by Nesslage &, Fuller will be shipped on the steamship New York, sailing tomorrow.
 Shortly after 1 o'clock it was an- nounced that the coffee firm of H. Crossman & Bro. would also ship $1,000- 900 gold tomorrow. This made the to- tai shipments for tomorrow up to that time of $2,S50, 000
 At the close of business yesterday the gold reserve of the United States treasury stood at $102, ,503 931. The an- nounced shipments will therefore bring the reserve below s10O0OO,000 It was generally believed in Wall street that the bond syndicate would deposit some gold to-day in the sub treasury so as to keep the reserve above the $100,000,- 900 mark.

THE ooNsuL,S PROTEST.
Serious Difficulties Expected on Account of

Serious Difficulties Expected on Account or ChinR's Action.
 Hong Kong, Aug, 2O,-Information has been received here confirming the pre- vious reports that the prefect accompa- nying the commission of inquiry into the massacre of Christians at Kucheng, as well as the Chinese officers at that place, have positively refused to permit the British and American consuls to be present during the examination of the prisoners connected with the outrages. The consuls have made formal pro- | test, and the matter has been referred to the viceroy, In consequence of this action of the Chinese authorities serious difficulties are expected.
 London, Aug. 20-A dispatch from Shanghai to the Pail Mall Gazette as- cribes the action of the Chinese govern ment officers at Kucheng in preventing the British and American consuls rom tbeing present at the examination of the persons arrested for participating in the massacre of Christians at that place to fear on the part of the authorities that | the testimony of the prisoners Will in culpate them The refusal of the au- thorities, the dispatch says, shows the futility of allowing the consuls to start on their mission without the accompani- ment of a strong British military escort As the matter stands, the consuls are powerless and the whole inquiry is farce.
 Public feeling among Europeans Tn Shanghai is strongly inclined toward the conviction that British Minister O'Conor should demand from China an independent inquiry by the consuls With out delay, and also that powerful es- cort of British troops should be imme- diately dispatched to Kucheng to pro- tect and assist them.
 A dispatch from Shanghai to the Times confirms the previous reports ot the refusal of the authorities to allow the consuls to attend the examination of the Kucheng prisoners, and adds that the Chinese officers have been most of- fensively obstructive to the consuls, who are powerless to do anything without a proper escort of British troops.

On the other side is representation of Louisbourg, as it is supposed to have appeared in 1745, with the legend 'Lu- dovicoburgum fundatum ct munitum MDCCXX."
 Connecticut voted 800 men as her con- tingent. Roger Wolcott, deputy gover- nor, and in his sixty-seventh year, ac- companied the expedition in the capa- city of major general. He kept a journal, which is published in the first volume of the collections of the Connec- ticut Historical society.
 The Notifications of Louisbourg were regarded as impregnable and there could be no reasonable expectation that the city would be taken. The news of the capture reached Hartford Friday evening. July 5, 1745. Judge Daniel Ed wards on the 9th wrote to General Vol colt, When first arrived here the tid- ings-Louisbourg is taken! Is taken! Language fails to describe the joy. h. stantly shown the town house (State House) with the houses in the body of the town, with surprisingly sudden and beautiful illumination" The next Wednesday was a grand celebrat ton, which included an OK roasted while on the green, and on the approach of evening splendid illuminations, ringing of bells, and bonfres blazing like the eruptions Of Aetna, with health to our sovereign and the most honorable re- membrance of the bravery of our heroes of LouisbOurg, beaUtified and enlivened the night and were but the perfect expressions of the oyerf1owing joys of every mortal L'-Hartf0rd Times.
