Deficit of th H vtnut from th Customs a.ad Dlrec. and Indirect Tun. farit (July 19) Correspomltnct of London Times. The rctutcs which the Monitcur publishes of the revenue for the first fix months ol the cur rent year show that the amount calculated upon has not been realized. As tbose calculations are alwajs based on the return of the year I named i atelj preceding the lam, those of 1865 were taken lor those of the present year. Besides the mims specified in the Budget of Receipts, an augmentation in the latter was counted upon ot 45,000,000 trancs for the year. As, therefore, the indirect contributions produced during the first six months of 1865 a total of 652,000,000, the Minister of Finance thought himself justi fied in counting upon 507,000,000 for 18GG, and on 642,000,000 for the first half of 1867. The primitive Budget of 1867 comprised the same fipures as that ot 1866, but to the amended Budget (Budget rectificatif) is added a sum of 95,000,000, lor expenditure, and U was hoped that this expenditure would be covered by a corresponding increase in the receipts. As regards 1866 the calculations were realized, lor in I8ii5 the first six mouths produced 597,000,000, and in 186G they produced 608,000, 000. But in 1867 the result is different, inas much an the amount obtained Is only 601,000,000, cr 41,000.000 less than was calculated upon, and then 41,000.000 have been spent in advance. It is remarked as strange that, whereas, in 1866, a year of war, there was considerable augmenta tion in the receipts, la 1867, the vear of the great Kxhibition, and as wan generally assumed a jear of financial prosperity, there is actually a falling on. This anomaly, real or apparent, is shown from a comparison between the first eIx months of 1865, 1866, and 1867 respectively: AUGMENTATION IN 1867 AS COMPARED WITH 18ti5. 1806.

As regards the indirect itn pofcts, hardly any one of tbem gives for 1866-T an augmentation similar to that of 1865-6, while many present considerable diminution. The registration duties, however, have increased bv 9,500,000 from 1865 to 1866, and only 2,600,000 from 1866 to 1867. This Is to be ascribed, in part, to the suppression of the demi-decim. Stamps increased by 2,500,000 in the preceding period, and onlv 14,000r. in the present one. There is a slight advantage in customs, though the con sumption of tobacco is not in prooortion to the number of visitors to the Exhibition, from whom much was expected. Many of them, I suppose, do not smoke at all, or, if they do, they have probRblv brouerbt their own tobacco with them. The duties on drinks produced in January of the present year 5,H98,000t. less than in the cor responding month last year; in February, 296, 0001. less; and in March, 2,075,0001. For the two month of April and May together there is an augmentation ot l,713,000f.; tor June a diminu tion of l,951,000f. The other indirect Imposts are pretty much the same as usual. In respect of the direct taxes there is a falling off slight, however, as the live-twelfths payable on demand have been exceeded by 48,106,000f., in lieu of 48,995,000t. in 1866. And, moreover, the leeral expenses incurred in tneir collection are in the proportion of 078, whereas they were in 1866 but 0-73. THE RUSSIAN LOAN. Operation of the Imperial Contractor In Paris, Amsterdam, and London. From the London Timet (cUy article), July 20. The feeling against all new issues of securi ties seems to be as strong at Paris as on this side. The letters from the Bourse allude to the circumstance of the Russian Government, who had thus tar confined their financial operations to England and Holland, having now also retorted to the French marcets. According to these advices the following are the operations alleged to have been agTeed upon: MM. Pillet, Will, Fould & Co., llottlngner, Mallet, Freres, Beillicres, Marcuard, Andie A Co., Pinard, and or two less important houses, with Meagre. Baring, ol London, and Hope, of Amsterdam, have contracted to issue for the Russian Govern ment t onds representing 300,000,000f. (equal to 12,000.000) nominal capital, the bankers to take only one-fourth firm and three-fourths to be on commiesiou. The issue price to be 307f. 60c lor every bond (obligation) of 600f with yearly Interest of 20f., and repavable at par by elshty-four yearly drawings. The commission allowed to the bankers to he 20f. per bond on those taken firm, and 101'. on the optional. Moreover, the Rubsian Government, in order to aid the success of the loan, grant a sum of about 1,000,0001. for advertisements, premiums, cte. It appears, however, that the participation of the contractors in the three places London, Amsterdam, and Paris is not on an equal foot ing. Messrs. Baring and Hope take firm only 27,000 bonds each, while they are to have the option each for a further 150,000 bonds, and the backers of Paris take 96,000 bunds firm, with an option for another 150,000 only. The fact that a special guarantee ot the Nlr-olai R ill way ac companies the loan is reterred to in an adverse instead of a favorable sense bv ttnse who seem opposed to it. "Notwithstanding the bad state ot the Russian finances and currency." it is said, 'it has not hitherto been supposed that she had arrived at the stage where special guarantees become an essential condition for raising money." One writer obf-ervee: "We do not believe that in Russia it will ever be possible either to sell or seize property belonging to the State, and thus th's guarantee appears on the one side unnecessary, and on the other totally illusory." The subscription is to be opened the first of next month, in Pans, by the Comptolr d'Escompte. THE WAR ASPECT. Franc and Ocrmanjr In Preparation Hnssla Llkely to Join Prussia.

THE ROMAN QUESTION. . . n.tta.zxt on th Situation Im portant Proceeding l th 1111 parliament. . i tvIm 231 TeUaram to London Tune. yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of De- the Government respecting the inspection of the Tapal troops by a Frenob general, whloti they declared to be a flagrant violation of the (September Convention, and on the armaments and enlistments which were being made, it was supposed, for the Invasion of the (States of the Church. Blgnor Rattaczl, In reply, said that he be lleved the rumors of the armaments were ex aggerated, and declared that they were being made by the Unmans thomselves. He did not consider it necessary for him to eontradlot the reports that the Italian Government had assented to or Indirectly participated In these preparations. He said that those were under a delusion who believed that the Italian Govern ment would tolerate any violation of their en gagements. The Roman question must be solved by moral means. Explanations bad been, he said, demanded of the French Govern ment as to the reported Inspection, which would be contrary both to the spirit and the letter of the Convention, wnieh he would cause to be respected. Blgnor ltatazzi denied that any arrangement had been entered into with Franoe for the restitu tion of Roman deserters, and no representa tive of France bad ever slated that a foreign legion should be regarded as an Indirect Inter vention on the part of France. He believed that the French Ucvernment, which desired the execution of the convention, would not be the first to violate it. Blgnor I,a porta said the Romans bad the right to enter their territory aud endeavor to obtain freedom for their country. Slgm.r Ratazzl, in reply, declared that he would always cause the territory subject to an other Government to be respected. Preparations to Ilealst an Attack on Home. From the Oorriere Italiano, Freparations are being made at Rome to resist an attack by the revolutionary party. Cardinal Antonelll h '8 addressed Inquiries to the repre sentatives of foreign powirs, asking them what steps t heir Governments would take If It could be proved, first, that the Insurrection broke out with theconnlvanoe of the Italian Government: second. If the revolutionists should arrive at the gates of Rome; third, . If the Insurrection should break out In Rome Itself. The Ambassa dors replied that they would protect the Pope and the Cardinals, but that they must refer home for Instructions as to wnat more than this they ought to do. Garibaldi Makes Another Speech. Garibaldi, on entering Plstoja, wis received with a veritable ovation. Addressing the crowd, he said: "I know that all your demonstrations, so flattering, so enthusiastic, are addressed, not to the man, but to the principle, and they teach roe that the national cause is progressing. The Italians do not want foreign pressure; your de monstration of to-day is a proof of that. We want to see Italy strong and powerful. Rome must be ours, in spite of internal enemies and all foreign despots. Old though I am, I firmly hope to go with you to Rome. Adieu." GULF OF MEXICO.

Captain Wm. B. Barker reports that at four o'clock on the morning ol the 1st Inst, he went on deck, and was Informed by the male that the vessel was making water very fast. Cm going to tbe tire-room he found two inches owaterover the floor. At that hour a heavy swell was setting in from the eastward. At tlx A. M. he found that it would be unsafe to continue on his voyape, in tbe condition the vessel was then In, and after consulting with his officers decided to make for Hatterns Inlet. They arrived ofl the bar at half-past one o'clock P. M., and signalled for a pilot. A heavy surf was rolling on the bar, and the captain being totally unacquainted with the passage, con sidered it would be Imprudent to attempt its passage without a pilot; he accordingly waited two hours for one to come ofl', but without suc ceeding. He then started for Fortress Monroe, and at 5 P. M. the weather assumed a very threatening appearance, with a heavy sea run ning. Under those circumstances he concluded to make for an anchorage at Hatteras Cove, when, at 7 P. M., the atmosphere became so thick and hazy that he could not see laud, and he hove the vessel to with her head off shore. At 10 o'clock P.

Tbe water In the engine room became too deep to keep the fires going with coal, but by burning wood they were able to generate steam euouh to keep tbe donkey engine at work, and all hands commenced balling, as the deck pumps were choked up and the engine pumps not working.

Dunne the last ten days a commission has been sitting in this city talcing the evidence ot witnesses on behalf of the United Spates In a suit instituted in the Court of Chancery, at Toronto, Canada West, against Jacob Thomp son, George T.

The testimouev given by the witnesses clearly shows that the object iu making the purchase was to arm tne vessel with guns, and man her with Confederate soldiers who, a'ter capture by oar troops, had escaped into Canada, aud then to employ tier in expeditions on tne lakes agatust our bhippingand frontier cities. In a despatch from Thompson to Benjamin, written about that time, he says, in allusion to tbe vessel: "Hbe had scarcely been transferred before tbe story weut out that she bad been purchased and armed for the purpose of sinking the Michigan, releasing tbe prisoners ou Johuslou B Island, destroy lug lue ship ping on the lakes, and the cities on the margin. The wliaesl couHlernatlon prevailed In all the border cities.

Bells were rung at Detroit, and churches were broken up on Hunday. The whole lake shore was a scene of wild excitement." No expense was spaied in procuring the can con and other war ma'erlal; but notwithstand ing the utmost caution and secresy on the part ot the Rebels, the vigilance ot our Consul at Toronto (David Thurston) aud the detectives of the Canadian authorities discovere J their opera tions betore any damage was done. Thompson, it is alleged, apprehending a seizure by the Canadian Government, made a fictitious sale of tbe vessel to the defendant Denison, with whom he had become acquainted In Toicnto as a Itebel sympathizer; but the Canadian Government, notwithstandinethe pre tended sale, at the Instance of Mr. Thurston seized the boat on a cburee ol violating the neu trality laws of the province, whereupoa Mr. Douifcon applied to tlie Court of yueou's Bench for her release, alleging that he wai the rightful owner, and that there was no ground for the seizure. Tbe Court, however, delivered a unani mous judgment sustaining the action of the Govern oient. Mr. Thurston, fearing that the decision woul l be otherwise, aud that Deuison and his friend Thompson woul 1 become postes8ed of this boat, instructed Messrs. George and U. B. Morphy, the solicitors of tbe United States In Canada, to tile a b ll in the Court of Chancery for recovery of the vesucl aud tor an Injunction to preveut any disposition of her in the meantime to defeat the rignt of the United States. Ihe Canadian fudges upon argument granted the injunction which is 8.111 in force, and the evideuce is now being taken to prove the claim of the United States. 8o tar the c.ise seems clear, and it is expected when all the testimony la taken that a declsiou for delivery of the vessel to'our Government will be given. The Georgian has baen chartered at the re quest ol the Consul, and the charter money paid into tbe Court to abide the event of the suit. Tbe commissioner appointed by the Canadian Court of Chancery to take the evidence is peter J. Gage, of this city, counsellor at law. The parties to the suit are represented by Mr. George Morphy, of Toronto, counsel for the United fctatee; Daniel McMlcbael, LL. D., for Jacob Thompson; Mr. John Bain tor the Attorney General of Canada, and Mr. DenUo appears lu KENTUCKY. Th Plave-laeh Rettorrd-Ontragaous Treatment of a Colored Girl. A Cincinnati paper publishes the following: 'n tbe vicinity of Lebanon, Kentucky, a tew days since, a colored girl was sent on an errand to the houne of one Wy throw, whose wile was, at the time, repairing an old dress. After tbe girl had returned homo Mrs. Wythrow discovered or rather thought she did that one brendih of the dress-skirt was miss lug, and the conclnalon wa at once arrived at that Mrs. DorHey's srrvantglrl had taken It, The hus band Norman Wythrow, Immediately went over to Iiorsey's and accused the girl of the theft. Khe denied tbe charge and protected her Innocence In the strong est term. The bouse was then searched fro-n roof to oellar. but the miselng article was not found. Wy throw not helnt satisfied, however, the mother of the accused girl offered to pay for the proptrty supposed to be stolen, the value ol whlcti was about thirty rents. Wythrow reinsert her offer, at' the same time declaring that he "would like to take It oot of herd d bide." No one being present who wan able to resist him, be took a plough-line and tied It to the girl's wrists, took hold of one end of It himself, get on Lis horse and rode off at a brisk trot, compelling the 8lrl to follow on fool. In this way be pulled and ragged her two miles out Into the woods, where he was joined by his brother, and tbe two men fastened one end of the rope around the girl's neck after having stripped her then threw the other end over the limb of a tree, drew ber up so thai her feet barely rested on a log which they had placed there, and In that position whipped her until they had worn out sixteen green withes. Tbey took the girl awav Irom her borne early In the morning, and she did not gel back until late In the evening. Persons who saw her say that she was bruised and Scarred from bea t to foot. The Wythrows were next day arrested bv United Ptntes olucers, and brought betore toe District Court. This act, though one of the most barbarous that Kebel diabolism has Invented. Is not Isolated In Kentucky. Within the last two weeks no less than sixteen arrests have been made In that State, by olll rers of the Kreedmen's Bureau, ot while persous charged with whipping and heating negroes. INDIAN MURDERS.

LEGAL. INTELLIGENCE. COTJUT OF QUARTER BESSIONS-Judge Brew ster William B. Mann, District Attorney. The Aogust term of tbe Court was commenced 10-day, Judge Brewster on the bench. On account ot tbe repairs now being made lu the new court room, the buklness will, at least for a few days, be carried on In tbe old Quarter Sessions room. Norrls J. 11 oilman was appointed foreman of the Grand lnquext. Afterlife aa ml nisi ratio u ot the oath and atliruiatlon, the Court instructed tbe Grand Jury as lollows: Gentlemen of the Grand Jury The obligation which you bave Just taken sudicieutly indicates th scope of your authority and tbe eiteulof your duty. It baa been wisely observed that "this oath seems well con trived to express briefly and fully the duty of a grand jury It constitutes a good directory for the dis charge of this houoroble olllce In a proper manner, aud deserves the serious and minute attention of every grand Juror." Adopting lis text as your guide, you will perceive that you are clothed with certain powers, aud that authority comes to you, as It always comes, charged wlib oorrelatlv duties. Your Juris diction, iheu, to inquire ai to and to present to tbe court, all such matters as shall be given to you In charge, or of which jou may bave knowledge. Tbe District Attorney will lay before you indict ments In all cases reiurned to bim by committing magistrates. You are to hear tbe witnesses audio determine whether there Is sultlclent evidence to Jus tify you In sending tlie party accused to a petit Jury for trial. 11 twelve Cr more of your number are ot this opinion, ibe Indictment must be endorsed by your fuiemnn with the words "A True Bill," and wltti his signature. If twelve of your number are not satisfied solo return it. the word "Ignoramus" la to beeu dorbrd, und benever a bill charging a mlsdeine.inor is Ignored, you are to "decide aud certify whether the county or prosecutor snail pay ine ousts or prosecu tion, and 11 ibe prosecutor, you must name him. You may be required lo act upon bills charging a violation of the laws of ourHtute prohibiting the sale ot liquors without license and forbidding lotteries. In these, as In all other cases, your oath of office requires you to find a true bill whenever the evideuce satisfies you that there is probable nuuse to put tb defendant on trial. Tbe private views that may he entertained by a Juror as to the policy or expediency of a law under which an Indictment may be preferred, bave nothing whatever to do with the question ot tbe guilt or lunoceuce of the defendant. We are unworthy of the trust reposed in as by tbe community, if we cannot decide upon the truth or falsity of a charge by tbe evidence aud tbe law aa we find it. Tbe dutj of Judging is committed to Courts; the responsibility ot legislating Is with auolber depart ment ot the Goverument. Y our oath tells ui that ibe authority thus delegated to you Is to be exercised wlib diligence and with truth, without hatred, envy, malice love, fear, favor, reward, or the bopo thereof. With your duties thus discharged, the commuuity cannot rail to be well served, and the law will oe made what she has ever been designed, to be, a sword lo the guilty, and a shield to the Innocent. At the conclusion or these remarks the Grand Jury Were dismissed to their room. The list of petil jurors was called, and applications for excuses heard; which being completed, no bills having been returned by the Grand Jury, Ibe petit Jury was discharged until to-morrow morning.

Tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury la urged upon all sides to sell the surplus gold of tbe Treasury, and ceitainly there could be no better time to do so. That officer has now an opportunity to retrieve the memorable bluuder of May, 1SGG, when, with gold at 130, and the Bank of England rate ot Interest at 10 per cent,, bo depleted the Treasury at the lowest price. The question is often aked, why, with money at 2 per cent. In Encrlaud and gold at 140, he does not promptly eive the market $20,000,000, and u.e the proceeds indes'royinrr $4,000,000 ot plain legal-tenders per month. This policy wuli relieve bim from the almost universal imputa tion of running with the inflationists and gam blers in gold for a rise, and from the charge of cowardice in living tip to his declaration about specie payments. , The btock Market this niornlnpr was looking up rather more hopelully, though the market was still very dull. A crood many of the brokers who have beeu rusticating for the past two or three weeks made their appearance ou the street tbii morning, and talked loudly in favor of brisker times, aud declaring that they are going to put new energy into tbe market. How they intend to do It It is impossible to say, though the least we can say is that, lor some reason or o.her, speculation seems to have taken a sheht start. Government stocks were very tirm. Five taeuties of 1SC4 sold at lOSUj and February and August Seven-thirties at 107J. 1124 was bid tor the old Five-twenties, and 102 for Teu-fortles. City and State loans were also Arm.

For the other feuki we Lewd M tuSSi In the Canal stocks there was rather more in quiry, chiefly confined, however, to Susque hanna, which sold at 1CJ, but afterwards de clined to 16. with sales at the latter figure. We continue Saturday's quotations for the other Ctin&tp Other stocks were very flat. According to the Times, the New York bank statement to-day will show a further Increase of about $2,700,000 in currency deposits, while the loss of specie deposits Is $2,200,000, leaving the general line about half a million higher than , last Monday. The greenbacks w'U be slightly, hiaber, and the loans have been enlarged, chiefly on tbe public funds, about $4,000,000. Tbe forenrn exchanges close weak at 109109I for first class 60 day bills on London. -The New York lYibune this morning says: ' 'Money Is abundant at 4(r per cent on call, an.d many lenders are unable to keep tbelr funds fill T employed at the outside qnotatlon.
