From the London Utrald, June 7.
Late ibis evening au official notification wan re
ceived Ibat the door of the Agra und Alastcriiians
Bank would not reopen to-morrow. Too event nas
been caused by the receipt ot unfavorable intelli
gence lreru Jnuiu, und by the drum upon rcsourous
tx.cu-ioii).d tbrougu ihe discouraging reports te-t-ptcting
the end t of tbo cstablishniout. the fact
was annjuncod at fuch cn advanced period of the
evening, that it was impossible to ascertain the ex
tent ol the debts and liabilities. It 11, nevertnoloBs,
presumed that tuey will bj very largo, aud must bo
spread all over tho world.
The information will no doubt be received by the
public w ith great regret, because tho bank bus had
to content! the lust thieo wens or a month against
the "evil tongue of rumor," and the steady sales of
the operators tor the lull. Yesterday the .sales were
negotiated at tho low price, ol 10, but they subse
quently recovcioa to 12 to 15; und attor hours were
even better. 1 bis morning tney rallied, aud were
done at 17, being temuoiaiily called 17 to 20. Later
tney went to 15 to 10; and it . staled that between 4
and 6 P. M. tney were sold at 11.
It would, nevorthelest., appear that the secret of
the suspension v.us exceedingly well kept, and it
reflects great credit upon thuso who had the final
arrangement of the business to liud that nothing
was at owed prematurely to ooze out oelore tho
actual result was known in official lorm. Tho title
of the A&ra Bank was 01i.aua.ly the Agra and tne
Uliiten -e vice Bank; and the Mas-tor mans' Bank
was that of the old private linn ot Messrs. Masier
Biaus IViers Co. llie amalgamation 01 tho two

j ears ago under tiivoreble auspices. X'uo subscribed
capital is 8,000,000; the amount paid no 14 X1.600,
000 ; and the reserve iuud is stuted at 503,000.
Hit re are CO 000 shares of 60 eacu, and twelve
branches or agencies, ttie last dividend buinit, 20 per
Cent. Ihe branches extend troiu Edinburgh to
Paiis, and throughout India and China. It is feared
that the stoppage will entail a great deal of distress,
because both tpe Indian services are largely inie
rtsted, and re&t confidence has ouen placed in the
bank. The tnaeiiituue 01 its transactions may in

and that tne exten"ion of business subsequently
rose through t.'ie Indian connection of the Aura

that the directors tave made a bold fight to tho last,

Up 10 the preent time the Italian Government has

they were not very numorous. Neverttioleu the

which will be inscribed the names of all persons, no
matter wl at their Btati n. couyicted of being what
tradesmen call "bad pay." T he bud, the good, the
uncertain, the slow, tiie sure paymasters of Paris,
will each have a column in the Moniteur. Fifty of
tie first tailor-and linen-drapers have club bod to
gether for tbe publication. Ihe only question re
maining is tbe legality ot the proceeding, aud a
oeputation has waited on JnlosFavre lor his profes
sional consiueration. The uncertainty of the Freuca
law of libel renders tbe experiment a dangerous one,
arid Favre with all bis eiperlero, was unabeto
solve the difficulty at once, but was compellod to ask
for time to cansiaor the question before answering it
decisively.
Fortifications versus Railwats The Paris
Ji.ontteur publishes a report from the Minister of
War to tbe Emperor, proposing modifications in the
situation of ninety-eight lortiticd towns in Fiance;
the changes, he observes, have been rendered advi
saote by the Development of railway communica
tions in the empire. Ihe Miuiter proposes to di
vide theso to vns into lour olasse: In the first, con
sist ng ol eighteen, the military buildings only will
be preserved; in tho secoud, nine in number, the
iortresse" will be retained under military jurisdic
tion ; in the tlilr.l, tlnrtt -seven, tbe zoue bevond tho
exti rnal limit oi the fortifications will be abandoned;
and in the tourih class, consisting of thirtvfour, the
terri ory outside tbe dotensive works, but subject to
military servitune, will be decreased in extent. The
Emperor has approved the modifications.
Ntw System of mbaluino. The French
papers speak of a new system of embalmiug, ihe in
vention ot Al. Audigier. it differs from the s stems
hitherto in use in tho manner of introducing me
preservative liquid. Heretofore, it has been neces
sary to make incisions in the body tor this purpose,
but M. Audigier introduces it by the mouth, and
also rubs the skin with a vere'ablo powder impreg
nated with the same liquid. The latter part ot the
piocess is not absolute y necessary, and the embalm
ing may be pit formed after tue body has been paced
in tbe coffin. The otlicial report statos t.Tat after tbe
lapse 01 twelve months, bodies which had been sub
tu tted to the process wore in a pcrlect state ot pre
servation, tbe flesh having become as hard as wood.
A Good Fmterprise. Mr. l.ambotte. Piofossor

introduced a novel andagteeable method of studying
botany and geo.ogv simultaneously. He has or
ganized a class, consisting ot bis own pupils and
men bers ot the Linnsun Society, aud he proposes to
make three exours.ons for tho purpose ot studying
the influence 01 tbe geological constitution of the
soil upon the vegetation at tbe three principal
periods of tho year, namely, summer, autumn, and
winter. The noighoorhood round Namur is the
ground chosen lor exploration,
a The British Museum The number of persons
adm tted to tbe ltntisn Museum allows a continual
decrease. In 1S65 the number wa 870,000, or uearl y
170,000 fewer than in 18G0. The decioaee in the num
ber ol visits to tbe r ad ng-room within the same
period has been not less extraordinary.

Montreal. June 20. The ship Annie McKen-
itiVhas iust arrived at thin port fi'Din Portland
on tbe 20th of May last. A day or two before
leaving the captain shipped a crew, including
the olucers, at a suipptner oince la Portland.
On the l'Jth of May the captain, on going
aboard, found tbe men drunk, and three artue I
sailors driving the rest ot the crew, who were
unarmed, about the deck, swearing they were
bloody Enelibhmeu. The mates, duriaf this
time, were trying to anve tne unarmea sailors
bacK to tne lorecatate. me captain met them,
and induced the unarmed raen to go to the cabin.
On the passage between Portland and Ptcton
the chief mate, named Wood, became so belli
gerent that be was relieved from duty, which
act Drougni matters ui a crisis, anu ueveiopea
the fact that fhe three mutinous sailors aud
Wood were Fenians, sumcieiu evidence was
secured to imprison them at Ptcton, Nova
Scotia. The designs of Wood, who was the
leader in the conspiracy, was completely foiled
on the 6th of June, atter leaving Pic ton. Wood
exasperated at the failure ot his plan, appa
rently lost his reason, his condition being atiirra
vated bv liuuor during tbe passage tried, to
take possession oi the ship, and placing a re
volver at the captain's head, ordered hi.u to sur
render his command.
The demand was immediately denied, and .he
Captain, who is a slender but active man, telle 1

whereupon he was securely ironed. Ihe tirru

The investigation at Pkillirjsburg is still pro

Thus tar sixteen witnesses have been examined,
all of whom were direct sufferers irom the

business is improving. Peru is still driving
every Spaniard Irom her bor.ler. The Idst
steamer brought up about one hundred aud
forty refugees. Part ot the Spanish fleet 1 sup
posed to have gone to the Phillipine Islanls, aud
the rest to Montevideo to letit. They will pro
bably return to this coast again before tho cud
of tho year. Valparaiso is bulug strongly
lortified against such au event.
Mr. A. J. Center, special agent of the Pucllic
Mail Steamship Company and Welle, Fargo fc
Co., has been making a tour on the coast, lor
the purpose- ot etlcctiug arrangements fur carry
ing freight through by steamer from New York
10 all parts of the coast and vice versa, at con
f iderably reduced rates. I understand he has
been moist successful in his mission, which is
one of no small Importance to the merchants on
the Pacific. It is to be honed a like reduction
will be made in Panama Railroad freights, which
are now about the same as they were when the
road was first opened. The present traffic de
mands a very considerable reduction of rates,
aud no doubt tbe company will see the policy of
acceding to his demand at au early date.
A Mr. Rice II. Barilett, of Ohio, died
in this city on Sunday, the 10th instant, of pneu
monia. General Warren, United States Minister to
Guatemala, took his departure from this port
yenterday on the Farkersburg, for his desiina
tion. The United States steamship Mohongo, Com
mander Nicholson, is at present at Guayaquil,
lor the purpose ot en'orcing the payment ot the
first instalment of the debt due by Ecuador to
the United States since November, 1862.
LAI EST NEWS OF THE SPANISH VESSELS.
From the anama Star and Hera!d of June 12.
The last account we have ot the invaders is
that the fleet was seen dve hundred miles below
Iqmque, sleamin? southwest, evidently bound
through the straits to Montevideo for sunolies.
Two vessels of the squadron had separated from
the fleet, and probably had been despatched to
Manila, where, we learn, the Spaniards have a
laree store of muuitions of war; so it is not mi -
prooanie tne entire fleet mav again meet in a
lew months ou this coast, fully equipped tor
another encounter. If they do we can only
hope tney w'll meet with as little success as
they did before Callao.
Lima. May 28. The destination of the Spanish
squadron which attempted the destruction of
Callao is still unknown. Circumstantial evi
dence would seem to point to Tahiti, but a thou
and contradictory rumors are still in circulation.
On the 17tb inst. the French frigate Venus loft
callao, having on board, it is said, Admiral
XT nnA'i'fl an nnAacnri nthA l-i t 1 aiil tiin lain t v
X UUfi 0 Dill A, VT UU AA OVA CM A W V M atu
iotn his fleet In that port. It is believed that,
aittiougti tne ultimate destination ot tue venns
is Mazatlan, she will proceed to Tahiti with her
distinguished passenger, and thus enable him to
assume his command. But even granting tint
such is the truth, the all important question sail
remains: tor it is not so esseutial to know
whither the Spaaiards have gone as to know
whether they intend to come tacs. Business is
resuming a considerable measure of its lormer
activity, vet it must inevitably suffer so long as
the Spanish question is unsettled.
The work of strengthening the fortifications
of Callao is at a complete standstill. Tne Peru
vian Government appears to be so well content
with the brilliant success ot toe zaot May that
it does not care to make any further prepara
tions ior aeieuse. it is true tnat even it the
Spaniards should at some future day return
with an increased force the batteries they no rV
have might be relied upou as a protection ior
the city, tor the experience so dearly purchased
bv the Peruvians In the late engagement will be
turned to good account. Five of tneir eight
heavy guns were rendered useless by the want
ot skill in working them, and that, too, at the
very commencement as it were ot the tight, 'n
any future engagement such an accident would
not be likely to occur, and consequently the
practical power ol the batteries would be
greater than on the 2d oi May.
Mill, as the efliciency of the fortifications of
Cullao can be increased the woik should not be
delayed. A single glance at them as thp.y now
stand is sufficient to show, even to an umnilitarv
eve, that thev are needlessly exposed to any
close Tanee fire which might be brouerht to bear
upon them. Should the enemy return with
broadside Bbirs of a sufficiently light draft to
approach within grapeahot distance of tbe
batteries, he could silence their fire and batter
the place down at his leisure. The Peruvians
have shown proofs of their bravery. Let them
now display their foresight and discretion. I
cannot believe that Spain will allow the conflict
to end where it now stands.

SPKC1AL DESPATCH TO TUB EVENING TELEGRAPH.)
Baltimore, June 21. The congregation o(the
Eev. Mr. Lefevre, of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church, assembled last niuht und voted almost
unanimously to sustain him iu his protebt against
and withdrawal irom the Old School General
Assembly. After the vote had been taken on
the resolutions, Mr. Anderaou presented a paper
expressing love tor and confidence in their
pastor, and that the conirrcgatiou would sustain
him; whereupon Mr. W. C. Arthur arose and
protested. He had been a member of the church
since it had been erected, and he had Bat in his
place many a time within the last lew years and
listened to preaching which did not accord with
his views of loyalty or Union principles. Him
self and family had afterwards been snubbed
while attending church, and two years aso there
were men here who would have cut his throat.
(Cries of "Order.")
The Moderator then requested Mr. Arthur to He.
Bist from such remarks, as they were entirely out
of order. Mr. Arthur said he could provo what he
said "that his family hnd been snubbed," etc.
Mr. J. H. Miexsall, in a loud voice, "It is false,
false."
Mr. Rrthur, turning round, "Thank you I"
The Moderator then requested Mr. Arthur to
cease his remarks, as thiy were disrespectful to
tho meeting.and desired him to present the paper
which he had stated he was desirous of offering,
this was then done, and the document read by
the Secretary and accepted.
Rev. Dr. Backus, First Presbyterian Church,
also defined his position in a two hours speech.
He condemns the faults of both sides, but is de.
termined to adhere to Ihe Church as it is, and
labor to bring about harmony aud reaoncilia
tion. He asks no congregational vote on the
question. His course is approved by all pcoplo
of good sense.

CHOLERA.
Two Casta Yeatvrdny 1st Hew York One
Ffttnl Tbe lMaeaae Vnabatrd all lnar
antlne. Cholera does not increase in the city, and we
regret that we are not a bio to make tbe same
report concerning Quarantine. Two cases oc.
curred in New Jfc-rk esterdav, one of which,
proved latal. The deceased te a colored woman
nmed Annie Crosby, who resided at No. 228
Cbarch street. She was attacked yesterday
morning very violently, aud rapidly passed
through all the stages ot the disease, from the
first premonitory sjniptoms down to final aud
irremediable collapse. The Sanitary Inspector
of the District was promptly notified of the
case, and immed'ately pave what asBhilance
was in his power, all of which was without
avail. At 7 o'clock last eveuiug, atter aa 111-uet-s
of scarcely 12 hours, the patient died.
TLe second case is that of Patrolman Peck, of
tbo First Precinct, who was attacked last even
ing, at his residence, No. 1G8 Delancey street.
Tbe news of his illness was telegraphed to head
quarter". He was still alive at 10 o'clock, but
ultimate recovery was cousideied doubtful. A
casi was also reported at Munbattanvtlle, but
nothing positive had been learned concerning it
at a late hour last night.
cholera at quarantine.
As already intimated, the disease at Quaran
tine does not abate. Some cases have occurred
on board the Itlimis, a hulk to which well pas
sengers were removed lrom the Peruotan and
Union. It is quite probti'ilo that if they had not
been confined, in consequence of Judge Bar
nard's inlunctiou, to such overcrowded quar
teis, these new cases would not have occurred.
Tbo buildings at Seguin's Poiiit are ready to re
ceive them; but untortunately. just now, the
legal restraint which impmuuj them upon
bulks, seems likely to make some one guilty of
a species of homicide. Atlr.ire look gloomy
enough in the Lower Bay, and if another ship
freighted with tho disease should arrive before
the Inluuction is dissolved, the fatal results
would be wonderfully increased.
Tho latest raporta irom the hospital ship Pal
con gives an account of three deaths, namely:
Hans C. Peterson, aed 8 years, of cholera:
Adolphus Vv'Pz, aged 25, ot tvpaoid fever; and
Jeus Peter Georgecseo, of cholera, age unknown.
There were two admissions yesterday from tho
Illinois mother and child.
