TUB BANK OF ENGLAND.
JYoto the Isondon Morning Star, ISlh.
The reserve of the Bunk of England hasatrain
crept up to a sum cxceediuir jC12,OOO,0J0. The
directors, however, made no alteration in tlie
rate of dicouct, but after a very brief sitting
proceeded to meit the proprietors at the half
yearly court. The Governt r intimated that the
dividend proposed tor the halt year wa per
cent. The net profits for the period have been
71)2,432. The usual discussion took pltce at
the meeting as to the propriety of pivini
interest on deposits, and with the usual result,
the directors cliiitmne for themselves ttie right
to decide these matters according to their own
traditions and theories. The consequence of
their obstinacy on this point is taut the bauk of
the ration is losiue it place at the head of bank
lne institutions. Ttie deposits from the public
which they hold this week nmouut to
16,789.161. Those ol the London and
Westminster Bank, by last half yearly report,
amouuied to 22,C72,.r5. The Government
account must, ot courie, tie added to ascertain
the total amount of deposits held by the Bank
of England; but as this is enjoyed partly as a
species et monopoly and partly as a species of
reward for services given in tlie keeping of the
public accouuts, the comparison ougbt to be
made between the deposits of the public en
trusted to each bank. The question may not
seem to be a very practical oi.e at the present
moment, when the bank has on hand 11,187,475
of its own notes, lor which It cannot get sutli
cient applications, even at the low rates of dis
count which now rule; but the season is an ex
ceptional one, and we shall doubtless again
witness the reserve gradually disappearingand
at the end ot a period ot vigorous enterprise
or speculation, or both, the resources ot the
Bank beinir pressed upon to an incouveutcnt, it
not a:: alarming extent.

SERTIA AND THE FORTE.
London, March 17. Lord Stmley has ordered
the English Consul at Belgrade to mane repre
sentations to the Prince of Scrvla to the etlect
that the Porte, have acceded to the arguments
of the great powers, and consented to ' evacuate
the Servian fortresses, as well as to grant im
portant concessions to its Christian subjects, it
has now become the absolute and imperative
duty of the Prince to perlenn his part 'by pre
venting the outbreak of any disturbances in
Servia.
It is believed In London that the Sultan Is
sincerely anxious to carry out to the letter the
concessions he has plomised, and it is expected
even that a Christian will shortly become a

Major James Stedman. an old citizen of Fre

committed suicide by shooting and theu hanging
LiraseU to the beam ot his barn.
Major Stedman had for several weeks given
Indications of partial insanity, in his business
transactions, and in his Inicrcourso with his

in tho village and settled up some business
matters, declaring that he must settle up all his
matters. 1
On Friday evening, about 6 o'clock, he left his
house to attend to some matters in the village.
Not returning as usual, his family became
alarmed, and his son started lu search of him.
Tho search was continued until moruing, when
in tho snow were found many footsteps round
his bouse, and then loadiDg off to the barn.
On going to the barn they fouud marks of blood

the terrible tragedy. Maior Stedman leaves a

TOILETTES AT h WASHINGTON RECEPTDN.
I write this letter as an act of justice to
neglected man. The Washington correspon
dents, as a body, have given themselves over to
the dominion of woman. Witness their ona
sided accounts ot the fashionable parlies trivon
by Senators and Secretaries. The women are
all ocscrlbed as a lover might describe tiis be
loved, while the men, though they may be hus
bands and lather?, Senators and Ministers, are
not considered worthy to be mentioned at all.
For the sake ot vindicating the dignity of my
sex, and for an example lo the tegular corres
pondents, I give you a projier account ot the
brilliant reception given at the house of the
distineni-hed Secretary, it-n-d-ll.
The host was drospd in a n'at, close fitting
coat, ot a changeable hue, showing a delicate
blue at ntsiht, but in open daylight a re tl sub
stantial grey. Pants same material, lined with
grey muslin. White skirt, cut blasd wlih a
beautilul frill all around the skiit. New patent
steel collar, marked ''A. J." It is here proper
to remark that his tables groaned linger luxuri
ous piles of bread and butter, furnished by the
Treasury Department, and 'the side tables stag
gered with loads of the choicest wines, couus
tated by thp New York custom house.
Senator D-ltt-l-e wus dressed in his best
clothes, iiii.de looe, so as to be changed in a
moment, aud worn either side out. They were
of a light changeable blue on one side, and a
reliable grey on the other. H's shirt was cut
poring, and was made ot material confiscated
at the ew York Custom House. The bosom
was immaculately white, typical of the breast
within. He wore a sieel collar which wa3 also
typical of the diameter ot the man. Ho seeuied
hungry, and spent most of the evening iu the
refieshment room, eatiiig tiread and butter,
and slipping the odds and ends iuto Lis
pockets.
Chief Justice C-h-s-e was dressed in a full suit
of blue, with the exception ol bis vest, which
had a green back. The tops of his boots were
also green, and he had in his pocket several
little pictures of Christopher Columbus aud
others set in green. He seemed to be rather
choice of these, keeping his hands in his pockets
all the time, especially when the host or Sena
tor D-l-tt-l-e were about. He wore suspenders.
General G-r-n-t was also dressed in blue and
acinar case. He had on suspenders and blue
ribbed socks with white toes. He was heard to
inquire of the Chief Ju'tice why he was like one
of Shakespeare's characters? When the Chief
Justice gave it, he said it was because his offense
was rank. The Secretary of War breveted him
on the spot.
President J-n-s-n came in leaning heavily on
the arm of Vice-President S-t-v-n-s tor support.
On first entering he seemed to be insensibly
affected by something, but soon dried his eyes
with his new pocket handkerchief a splendid
pattern of bunting, representing the United
States flag on one side and the Confederate flag
on the other. His outei garments were a curious
mixture of blue, grey, and butternut, but all his
underwear were of a sturdy grey, dyed in the
wool. He wore no suspenders, claiming, it is
understood, that such fixtures are clearly in
violation ot the Constitution, and an insult to
the South. It is unconstitutional to suspend
anything except women.
Senators 8-1-s-b-r-y and McD g-1 came together,
and looked and acted like brothers. They
were dressed alike, each having on a snuff
colored butternut coat, with two bottles of
whisky in the coat tails. Bottles partially
empty. These two chlvalric gentlemen added
much to the festivities of the occasion by acting
an interesting tableau, repiesenting the coat of
arms ot Kentucky "United we stand." They
wore white kids.
Seated in a corner were Secretary W-M-s, and
Senator Davis, of Kentucky, engaged in a warm
discussion for several hours, the Secretary
being asleep all the time. The gallant i-cnator's
attention being called to the fact that his ad
versary was asleep and snoring, be replied that
he was glad of it, he was used to such things;
it gave him more time to establish his side of
the Question and he went on "like an April
shower." Washington Correspondent Cincin

A SINGULAR STORY.
Fight Between a Rat Terrier and
Bivarm of Rata The Dog Vanquished
and Devoured Funeral of the Victims
of the Contest.
The Milwaukie Bentinel vouches for the fol
lowiue remarkabe inoideuts:
Near one of our grain warehouses, situated on
the river bank, large swarms of rats have been
in the bablt of feasting on the wheat which has
been scattered around. A few davs ago a black
aud-tan terrier, getting wind ol the rendezvous.
made an attack upon a couple of rats that had
ventured too lar into the open air. Seizing oue
in his teeth, it shook it vigorously. The rat
squealed piteously, attracting to the spot a dozen
or more companions.
These, on seeing the situation of affairs
joined iu raising the alarm. In less time than
it tukes to tell tbe incident, the ice around
was Mack with swarms of rats, numbering
several buuareus. xne terrier, alter despatch
ins the nrst victim, charged into the swarm
with the evident determination of serving tho
remainder in like manner. But lor once a ter
rier was doomed to meet with fight lrom the
poor animals he had so long devoured at plea
sure, and in a trice he was surrounded on all
sides by a swarm ot lerocious brutes anxious to
be aveuced for tne deatn ot their companion
Then ensued the meet frightful scene imagi
nabie. Tbe rats swarmed around tneir adver
sarv, and fastened their claws and teeth in hi
nesh. The dog, enraged Dy tne pain, lougbt
bravelv. killing scores of his enemies iu hi
contest for lite. But the odds against him
were too great, aud alter a sharp conmct.
which lasted for about five minutes, he was
forced to succumb. His1 body was literally
devoured by the rats, they seeming to take a
savage pleasure in tearing tueir vanquished
enemy p'.eoemeal. Scarcely a vestige of tbe
animal remained behind. The terrier died
game, however. There were about halt a hun
dred rats loft upon the field, bleeding and
mangled, and as many more more or less in
jured. ,
A singular Instance of the kindness of dumb
animals to their fellows was noticed at the con
clusion of the combat. A number of the com
batants had been somewhat lacerated by the
teeth of the dog. Their companions gathered
in groups around them, licked the blood from
tbelr wounds, and then tenderly carried them
In their teeth to their nests. Tbe bodies of the
slain were as tenderly cared for. One by one
they wpre carried to a hole in the ice near by,
where they were piled up. When all the bodies
had been gathered together, the survivors
grouped around them, and one of their number,
mounting upon the pile ot bodies, seemed' to
deliver a brief funeral oration over the remains
of their companions. - 'The- utmost stillness
reigned among the company during the address
of their chief. The whole company theu pro
ceeded to tumble their dead companions into
the water, wheie they soon sank lrom sight. In
half an hour scarcely a vestige of the conflict
remained. The funeral service was the most
extraordinary instance or the kind we have yet
observed, and is well deserving of the study of
naturalists. Tbe fight, as a whole, would have
delighted sporting men and dog fanciers. It
was highly interesting to the lew who observed it.

OBITUARY.
Rev. Arthur Burtis, D. D.
This reverend gentleman died at Oxford,
Ohio, on the 23d instant, in the sixtieth year ot
his age. The dicrased was born in the C ty of
New York on the 25th of October, 1807, his
father being one ot the ten Governors that
ruled that city during the Revolution. In the
year lb29 the deceased graduated at Uuiou O jI
lege, in the same class with Judg
Campbell, ol Otsego counly, John J. Cisco!
and the late Collector of this port, Mr. Preston
King. Alter his graduation Dr. Burtis studied
law with the late Chancellor Kent, at Columbia
College, but, being of a very religious cast ot
inirid, abandoned the study of the profession,
and entered the Auburn Seminnry, where he
received his theological education. After his
ordination as a minister of the Presbyterian
denomination, he filled several pulpits in tho
western portion of New York with great ability
and to the entire satisfaction of his different
congregations. Later be became Secretary of
the American and Foreign Christian Union, and
was afterwards appointed Professor of the
Greek lanQuage in the Univer-uty of Oxford,
Ohio, which position he occupied at tho time of
his death. Dr. Burtis was a gentleman of line

Peter Von Cornelius.
Of the three men who gave the Academy of
Painting at Dusseldorf a new life, and to whom
the art of,painting in Germany owes its revival
after years of dullness, a second has just died
lull of years and honor. Von Schadow de
parted in 18(!l at tbe age of 72, and Cornelius
died on Wednesday, the (ilh instant, at Berlin,
in bis 80th year. Overbeck, born in the same
year with Von Schadow (1789), still lives at
Home, and still works, the last survivor of a
group whose influence on art, whether for good
or evu, nas oeen as Ptrongiy ana as wiueiy oii
tused as that of any three men, not men of
genius, at any period in tbe history of the
world.
Peter Von Cornelius was born at Dusseldorf
on September 16, 1787. He was the son of a
painter, and early snowed a stron leaning 10-
waros tne study ot art, anu wniie sun a cuuu
earned considerable sums by illustrating
almanacs and other cheap publications. Mean
while, he kept his eye upon a signer aim, ana
studying the works ot Raphael and the antique,
accustomed himselt to repeat their designs
lrom memory. At the age of sixteen he lost
his lather, and feeling tbe necessity of earning
money for the support of his widowed mother,
determined to renounce all thought of becom
ing an artist; but his mother would not consent
to the sacrifice. Good and noble woman that
she was, she preferred to struggle with the nar
rowness of . her lot rather than to Jeopardize
the future of her sou.
In 1811 the young Cornelius went to Rome,
having already given proof of his ability by
painting the interior of tho cupola of the Church
at Ncuts. At Rome he was joined by Von
Schadow and by Overbeck, andthe three young
men worked with fervor and energy, painting
together in several seiies of pictures among
others a "History of Joseph," for the palace ot
M. Bartholdy, Ambassador of Prussia. Here,
too, he designed his illustrations (o the Kibe
lungen Lied which, more than any other work
of his, made his name known vn Germany. He
proposed also a series of illustrations in fresco
to tbe "Comedy" ot Dante, but had only made
the designs when ho was invited to Munich by
the Crown Prince ot Bavaria, afterwards King
Louis. At Munich he remained several years,
and executed at tbe command of tbe King
many memorable works. He filled Munich
with frescoes. In the Academy of Fine Arts he
decorated two halls in the Glyptothek or sculp
ture gallery with frescoes, where subjects were
drawn lrom tbe Greek: mythology. After a
brief visit to Dusseldorf, where he was made
Director of the Academv. he returned to Berlin
ar.d began the decoration of the Piuacothek or
picture-gallery, with a series of lrescoes, illus
trating the history of painting. In tbe Church
n knint l.ouis ho nainted four great frescoes.
tbe largest of which is the "Last Judgment,"
tbe largest painting in tho world, Detng 62 teet
liirrh nnd 3H feet wide. In this work he
e ntered the lists with Michel Augelo, and dared
m enmnete with him on a field where
rivalry would seem ridiculous. But Cornelius,
if he has not made Augelo forgotten, has
at least made himself remembered by this
va.i work, which remains his greatest
monument. After a long residence In Munich,
Cornelius and King Louis became ettranged,
uiiri the artist took np his residence in Berlin.
where Frederic William made him director of
the Academy, and charged nun wun tne paint

art Of painting in moneru uermauy wnose
names have acquired a Euroocau reputation,
Con elius undoubtedly was tho strongest. His
originality was hampered, not stimulated by
his early devotion to Raphael, Angelo, and tbe
Antique art, but it was not utterly killea by it,
as was that ot his lellow-pupit, Overbeck.
whoe style grows ever more thin and
colorless, and whose small original stock of
ideas has ' not lasted him lor sixty years
without a process of dilution that baa long
Pluce deprived them of all flavor. Yet if Over
beck has little deserved to be called the Raphael
of German art, Cornelius as little deserved the
title of its Angelo. He had tuettcess the German
tendency to subjectivity of treatment, and be
lieved that he was producing art when he was
painting conventional flgare-pieces by the acre.
Still though he has left no work ot universal
interest, aud must ever be . little more than a

SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO EVENING TELEGRAPH."
WAsniNOTON, March 29.
Governor Throckmorton, of Texas.
An effort will soon be made to induce Major
General Sheridan to remove Governor Throck
morton, of Texas. The Union men now here
from that State claim that it will be useless for
them to attempt to organize a Government
under the Reconstruction bill while he is in
power, as his influence, and all the patronage
of his position, will be used by him in behalf
of the Rehels and the disfranchised classes.
They are afraid that the freedmen will be
driven to vote against their wishes unless the
control of the Government is in the hands of
the Union rarty, and state that there are at
least fifty counties in which they will not bo
allowed to vote at all unless they are protected
by the presence of Federal troops. If Throck
morton is removed the appointment of a Union
man will be secured, no matter what the desire
of the Administration may be, as the law
requires all officers to' take the iron-clad test
oath. Throckmorton cannot take it, and there
are but few men of prominence in the State
who can. Among them are Judge Paschal,
Judge Sherwood, and Judge Thomas, all
radical Unionists.
First Pennsylvania Revenue District.
Mo action has been taken yet upon the
nomination in this district. The impression
here is that Mr. Crawford's name will be
withdrawn, and a Republican will be sent in
who will be confirmed, which it is said will
secure the confirmation of Mr. Frazier.
The Fourth Revenue District.
Judge Kelluy is strongly opposing the con
firmation of McGrath for Collector and Theo
dore Adams for Assessor in this district.
Judge Kelley's favorite for Assessor was Mr.
Henry M. Lewis, but he was thiown over
board. The Nominations Before the Senate
There are several hundred nominations now
before the Senate for action, which, if not
acted upon before the adjournment, will all
fail ; and, unless an Executive session is con
vened by the President, these nominations
will have to he made over again.

Qceen Victoria's Gift to Mr, Peabody.
The portrait of Queen Victoria, to be presented
to Mr. Peabody, has just been finished in
London. It is painted in enamel, and is an
oval miniature fourteen inches by ten. The
enamel is on a stout gold plate, and represents
the Queen seated, half length, the arms and
hands thrown out admirably from the black
dress. Her Majesty wears the blue ribbon of
the Garter and the George; she is represented
in a Mary Stuart cap, sunaounted by a
coronet, and her blaok dress is relieved by a
trimming of ermine. It is n good likeness of
the Queen, and very handsomely framed in
deep maroon velvet, ornamented with flue

arms, at each side therose, thistle, and sham
rock, and beneath the inscription, which was
given by the Queen herself "Presented by
the Queen to George Peabody, Esq., the Bene

it certainly surpasses the best stock country
known to me. Stock thrives summer and
winter, without grain or provender, even in

seaBon more than twice the amount of gold of
any previous season; whilst in addition many
quartz mills and smelters will be in successful

THE FENIAN WArl
Annexation of Ireland to the United
States Manifesto of the Fenian Execu
tive at the Foot of the Galtees, Etc.
Dublin, March 16. The following important
manifesto has been largely circulated in all
parts of the country within the last few days.
notwithstanding the precautions of the Govern
ment officials. It reads thus:
MANIFESTO OF THE IRISH PEOPLE.
Upon considering onr present position, we
hs ve come to the following resolution on behalf
of oar countrymen iu Ireland, in America, aud
in every otner quarter ot tne world where tney
are now dispersed :
Kughsh government has become absolutely
intolerable to us. We cannot endure a state of
society in which the commonest liberties of all
men are suspended.
We are unable to contend with our oppressors
in arms, and we turn to tbe hope ot mankind,
the great republic of North America, in our
difficulties.
We ask to be admitted into the American
Union as a new State, having our own local
Government, but sending Representatives to
Congiess.
We are as near to New York and Washing
ton as New Orleans and Sin Francisco, and we
have become so thoroughly Americanized that
connection with England is no longer tolerable
or possible.
Tuis is a final and solemn resolve upon full
deliberation.
We solicit our countrymen throughout the
Union Immediately to assemble and place this,
tbe petition of twelve millions ot Irishmen, in
due form before the President and Congress of
the United States.
Signed on behalf of the Irish people.

Friday, March 29, ltxff. J
The commercial editor of the New Orleans
Times moots a point ot paramount Importance
to the holders of mortgages on real estate:
"The question Is asked In some circles, whether
undurtbe Bankrupt act, in cases of parties availing
( the act surrendering property which may be uu'li-r
trortpage, the Judge or the United mates Court can
eider all tnortRases standing against tbe bankrupt,
or any oue petitioning for tbe beuetlt thereof, ouu
rder the erasure of mortgages on the record of
the mortguge oIllceT It will be remembered that
under the act ot 1S41!, or tbe last national bankrupt
ft, lbe presiding Judge could direct the erasure o f
all mortgages; that the mortgages merely could
have a privilege on tbe assets or proceeds of the pro
perty released. H will be reiiiein bored that the pro
i eeds- ot iuuob real estate, sold under the order o!
I.unkrnptcy, under that law, did not command oue
J.iurih or bull the sum for wblch It was valued or coBt.
Jtwill be remembered ibat tue real enau) of the
lute Thomas Hanks, who built and erected many
fores aud buildings in tbe now First District, wont
) no court with property worth !, RnO.OOO, comprising
I lie City Hotel, the Arcade, ou Magazine street, the
I.ationalllotel.on Tchoupiloulas street.hetween Ora
vltr and Natchee, now occupied by four stores; the
Commercial Woiel.and other properly now the moat
valuuble In the city. In Hue, lit Banks never owned
i r Improved a property only In the bist locations;
mid what Is it supppised all ibis valuable real estate,
now worth seven to eight millions of dollars, sold lor
under a decree ot bankruptcy of tbe United States T
Merely lor four hundred aud fifty thousand dollar.j
(J50.1K)H). Thomas Banks died a broKen-bearied
man. There was no necessity lor his belug fjiced
into bankruptcy."
The merits of the question are not a.t on one
side. If the owner ot incumbered property
become bankrupt, and the whole ot his asieta
pass into the hands of a receiver for tbe benefit
of the creditors, should the eststence ot a mort
gage upon the real part ot the enate relieve it
lrom liability to forced sale f The creditors are
entitled to the entire body ol assets, and, to
secure the benerll of all, tbe power to anticipate
the conditions of a mortgage, and even to direct
its erasure, must rest somewhere. Of this cu
thorltv the Judge is the proper custodlau.
The New York Tribune this morning says:
"Money on call lor ne business is 7 per cent.,
and loans at less are exceptional. One of the
most prominent institutions doing business In
call loans bas not made a loan on cail under 7
ner cent, within tbe lat lour months. Com
mercial paper sells at 77J for best and 8(010
for second rate. "
