A correspondent, writing from Matatnoraa, Mexico, on the Tth inst., says: The news from the Interior of Tamaulipas Is of an alarming character. It appears that the relicls are now nearly In possession of the whole suite except this place, Carmargo, Melr, and Tatnploo. The fede ral forces have leen defeated in the several encoun ters that they have had with the relxds. A small force of Vargas has Intercepted the road lictwecn this and Victoria, the capital of the State, as also the Monterey rood. Wo shall have in a short time, say the 16th of this mouth, a general rlMing against, the government of Juarez, headed by the best and tried chiefs of the republic, In favor of l'ortlrto Diaz, Commerce Is reduced here to a mere cipher, and now, with the present prohibitive tariir, no one can Import, leaving out the present distracted and unset tled situation of this frontier. Yesterday the law was published in this city giving extraordinary powers to Juarez, which declares that kidnappers, robbers, and revolutionists are outlaws, and are to be shot on idcntlhVatiou. This remedy is a very bad one, as It will bring many a worthy fellow to an end, and will not cure the disease. Never was the country ts-set with a longer train of (IMb-iilties than at present. This same law will possibly cost htm his bead, as did that of the ltd Octolier, 1mC. the head of Maximilian. These, as you will perceive, are desperale measures. Hy the stage of last evening from Monterey we are Informed that a party of rebels entered a town ol the Mate ot New Ieon called 1-a Motu, kidnapped two or three of the principal citizens and. getting wlmt stealings they could, left with their prize. In Mon terey they were getting up a'.l the soldiers possible to make a defense. Another question of Importance to this frontier is "Zona Libre," a particular concession to this place by the Juarez Ooverniiient, which is extremely pre judicial to the United States, and generally to Mex ico, as persons within the limits ot the Zona pay no duties, and may, under present circumstances, get their goods into the interior of the couutry without paying any legal duties whatever. It is destructive to llrownsvllle and the Texas side of the river, as they are not able under the Zona to Import their effects as the residents of the Zona Libre, which Is a standing invitation for smugglers. Anotlier question Is one of horse and cattle stations, which must sooner or later bring on a conflict with the United States. We want annexation and must have it; there Is no other hope for us. as under this present Juarez faction we cannot possibly live. The Monitor, of Mexico, complains of exaggera tions having been made tiy your correspondent re specting the butcher Escobedo; but bis assassina tions of San Jacinto, Victors, Jura, Linares, and latterly again in Linares, in t he person or a Spaniard, whom he ordeaed to bu taken from the hands of a tribunal of justice and shot immediately, and others I could enumerate, are too well known to be denied. The other points are admitted as facts. n i: W-V O l( li I S M K . From Our Own Correspondent. Nkw York, May 22, 1S69. Alter thirty years of separation the Old and the New Schools of the Presbyterian Church talk of coming together, and have selected this city as the place where the; matter is to be discussed in all its bearings. The delegates front both branches arc now meeting in this tnetroolis, those of the Old School in the Brick Presbyterian church, at the cor ner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-seventh street, and those of the New School in Dr. Hatfield's Church of the Covenant, at the corner of l'ark avenue and Thirty-fifth street. When that coalition does take place it will be a happy and triumphant hour for a distinguished minister of Philadelphia, better known by his writings than as a preacher, however, and whose commentaries on the Old and New Testaments, indeed, have been translated Into almost all languages. I allude to the Rev. Albert Barnes, who, thirty years ago, was the Innocent means of a "split" in the Presbyterian Church, and was himself suspended from the minis try, and endured much obloquy. Mr. Barnes' name docs not ligure very prominently to tell the truth it does not figure at all in the reports In the news papers, and doubtless the veteran preacher J have no doubt that, being over seventy years of age, he alls himself by that title) prefers gardening in the garden attached to his West Philadelphia resilience, raising lettuce and cucumbers, for instance, to being called to order by the Moderator In the close-auuo- hphercd church ol a city that has already commenced to swelter. Dr. Musgrave, Dr. Jacobus, Dr. (Jardlner Spring, "und others," I have seen mentioned; but Albert Karnes, the noblest Roman of tlieni all. is ab sent. Perhaps he is writing upon the Romans at home. If so, he is flying direct in the face of one of his most partial but most candid admirers, whom he was in the habit of consulting in regard to his Scrip tural labors. "1 think 1 will take up a chapter from Romans," he was in the habit of saying, when pon dering the question of a Monday evening lecture. 'Take my advice," would be the invariable retort of this friend. "Lecture on whatever else you please, ( teare the olit JlmnaUH alone!'' However, as this is not, strictly speaking, a New Yorkisni, 1 will not linger upon it here. The number of men we are getting arrested within the limits of the Metropolitan precinct, for arraying hemselves in female attire, is getting "alarmingly large," or would be "alarmingly" so were there any element of alarm in the matter. The excuses these bearded women make arc various. One of them said, the other day, tluit some men tock pleasure In smok ing, some in drinking, some in riding a velocipede, tint she I tieg her pardon he took pleasure in petti coats, and he didn't see that it made any (inference to any one. The latest offender in this rcsicct was an arrival from Boston. He had left there with a female ia genuine one), and they had changed clothes by the way though whether the change was effected in the cars or not has not transpired. On the arrival of the couple in New York they got separated, and met by chance," in a vtry n minimi way, In the same police court. Mr. James Fisk, Jr., the Erie genius (and very ftryixh his genius Is), announces his intention of withdrawing his libel suita against the springtieid Republican and the New York Tribune, The Timen, in a tone of courteous daring, hopes, however, that whom else Mr. Fisk lets off ho will iwt withdraw his suit against Itself. When the trial comes on there are several points in his career that it is desirous to touch up. For a man who is losing at the rate of $9000 per week by operatic and theatrical ventures, he bears up very well. The Police Board has been having a tight over the question of the presidency, but that has been ad justed at last. Mr. Brennan was the Democratic can didate, and Mr. Mauierre the Republican candidate; and since each man was supported for the position by his political associates, it looked as though mat ters had come to a dead-lock. The knot was cut, however, at the last meeting of the Board by Mr. Manierre'B nominating Judge Bosworth for presi dent, and Mr. llranuau nominated Mr. Smith for treasurer, both of which gentlemen were unani mously elected to their respective posts. Now that the Board is organized, a good deal of change is an ticipated among the oaptains of precincts. These captains need a good stirring up all round, and the quicker that adjustment is made the better for all parties. Judge Bosworth, the new President of the Police Board, is likewise President of the Hoard of Excise, and deeply exercised upon the question of the reduction of license fees. The modification of the law is believed to be a foregone conclusion. The wires will have informed you ere this of the fact that an interesting young man, not wholly dis connected with the Corn Exchange Bank, went up unknown ways a day or two aince, taking with him not lesa than 128,000, the property of the bank. So extremely careful are the oflloers and directors of Uie bank of this youth's good name, that theyi will not auirer it to escape them, but keep it lesa accessi ble than the missing twenty-five thousand. Even the JTtvate Keylwle Untener haa not been able to And out, and chafes and fumea like a porcupine that can't get ita qullla back again, or a very ainall hen upou a vary large hot griddle. jt ia and W walk uy Filth avenue ainl observe the ct.angea that are taking place among private resi dences. Below Fourteenth street, and betwecnlth ovcr-fashlonablc quarter and Washington Park, the old-time dwellings alnmiier peacefully as yet, undis turbed by the artisan's hammer ami the presence of the accursed haberdasher. But between Thirteenth street and Twenty-third, and even down Twenty third, the diluvium of stores is eglnnlng to predomi nate, and the presence of the detested canaille is only too evident. How glad I am 1 am only a newspaper writer und don't belong to them ; the canaille, I mean. In Broadway, of course, there Is absolutely no ground at ail being left. One side of the blot' k ! twecn Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets la wholly monopolised by Arnold, Constable. Co., the building which they occupy vying with the tip-town one of Stewart's, and accommodating three or four other firms. The Chlckerings, and the Welters, the Itrcwsters, the Kmcdlers, the ioupi, and the ourncys have likewise Joined m this up-town move ment, and by-and-by 1 should not be surprised If the locality of some of the ferries art; again occupied by first-chuia dwelling linn sea. Are prosperous recon struction times Inducing this movement? In that sense, I might indeed think we were marching to the music of the Union, if the music of the Union were not generally the music of a hand-organ turned by a oue-arnicd soldier! Ai.i Kama. ALABAMA CLAIMS. A Voice from the Went I low Indiniin (Tit. wo lliiwd on Kiiglitml. The Indianapolis Journal, lirst remarking that Indiana sent 260,000 soldiers into the licld. ait Inti mation that in case of an international war she would "go her best" on it, says in relation to the Alabama claims: The Kuglish used our war to ruin our commerce. They did it with as well settled a pnrsise as they ever plundered an Indian prince. Tin y saw their opportunity, and the government, at the best, winked at the advantage taken of it. They did It under cover, with the disguise of forms and compliances with law which deceived nobody. The act was one of the most infamous bad faith ever exhibited in history. We may safely defy any age or country to produce a case of greater duplicity and more enor mous injury. They pretended to be at peace, to cherish kindly relations, and they carried on a most desolating war against us all the time. This is a I act, as gross, palpable, undeniable as tholr own Island. Now, Is there nojinore in this act than the destruction of the few score vessels which made our commerce so insecure that we had to give it to the English? If a hundred of our vessels should be burned in an English harbor by incendiaries, though the direct pecuniary Injury might be as great, would anybody think it an equal wrong? We should accept compensation and feel that the ailair was settled ; but are we to dismiss as a casualty the systematic plunder of our commerce ami accept as compensa tion the money value of the property destroyed? Kugland Insists on settling the one case as if it were the other, on making offsets against the piracies of her vessels as If they were innocent accidents. She will not allow that what she did was any more her wrong than the plundering of Ualway wreckers or the arson of Thames river thieves. We have insisted, and ought to insist, that it was much more; that It shall not be settled on the basis of accident, in which is no national or moral Inculpation. We ought to insist, because we have a right to make England un derstand how we regard her action. Again, says the Western journal, England has esta blished a precedent which must be disavowed or maintained. Her refusal to stop the Alabama, be cause her judges, guided by her domestic laws, upon evidence of her own citizens, elicited after her own fashion, did not feel perfectly clear that the object of the vessel was illegal, amounts simply to a legaliza tion of piracy in all cases where she may think it safe to permit it. Her neutrality is to be determined not by her acts or their consequences, but by her interpretation of her owu laws, her application of her own forms. She alone decides whether what sho Is doing Is piracy or honest trading. Tlio prece dent she has made is that, if protected by her own laws, which are entirely at her own disposal, she may wage war as a neutral against any bellige rent she chooses. That precedent we, and other na tions, too, have a right to know something about. If she insists on such a settlement asthat made with Kcvcrdy Johnson, which sets down the Alabama depredations as casualties, to be paid for as she might pay for a vessel sunk in a collision in a Chan nel fog, she anlrms her precedent. If she admits the wrong ol her act in sending nut, or letting go out. the Alabama, she disallows the precedent. We have a right to know what she means to do. As the case stands now we don't know. Johnson's treaty dodged this point, and Mr. Sumner is right In demanding that it shall not be lodged. The Senate was right in kicking out a treaty that should have settled this vital question of neutral relations, and never even noticed it In what form the settlement should be made may admit of discussion ; but that, it has not been made in any form so far, and can never be made, is very certain. National upologics may be impossible, and it may be absurd to expect or demand them ; but It is not im possible to make nor absurd to expect Home declara tion as to an act which submits the commerce of every belligerent to the piracies of every neutral which chooses to mould its domestic laws so as to allow an easy escape for plundering expeditious. Damages do not enter into this question at all. It is above all considerations of money. It is virtually whether every civilized government may safely model its policy after that of the old Algerlnes or nut, iniwlor ItHMNClt. Minister Hassett, who is to represent us in Hayti, jesterday had an interview with Assistant Secretary of Statu Davis, and was posted as to his duties, without receiving, however, any specllic instructions, our (iovernment lias only one claim of any account against the llaytieu Government, and that is for the repair of a Havtien vessel, amounting to something like $;t(l,(MKl. This claim Mr. Hassett has been re quested to have settled as speedily as possible. Mr. Hassett sas the story that his appointment as Minis ter to Hayti is not acceptable to the authorities of that country is not strictly correct. A few people there, he says, are dissatisfied, and they have for home seltlsh purpose endeavored to make it appear that the whole government of Havti would prefer a white man to be sent as minister iiiHtead of a gentle man of color. Mr. Hassett stopped with George Downing during his visit to the national capital. I.HUAI, 1 W Ti: 1, 1, 1 4 i k 4; i:. Court of Quarter NCMioiia .Indue Ludlow. HAOOEKTY'S CASK.

Air. Kheppurd, however, in oppntiition to this, Haiti he thmiKlit the prinnnHr'H real for liuiuntliute trial aa sudden hm MKiiihciint. The indictments v.ere found in January Ihhi, nearly tour months hro, and for at leuxt a Kreat por tion of ttiat time the t lomiiioiiweulth was prepared to ac commodate him with triul it he hud come in; there was a KtandinK invitation for bim to appear, and every inducement in the way of bench warrant was uttered to insure his attendance. Hut. he Hod the jurisdiction, and it waa not until the end of the April term that, he surrendered himself. Now the (,iiiiiiiH.nweallir witnesses are absent, and there is reaaou to believe that their absence is at least iutentiiinal.it not suspicious. Under these circumstances the prisoner has no riKht to ask us a favor to him that the Commonwealth' business should be moulded to suit his ooiive. nieuce; and while the cases remain in their present conditiun, he, Mr. Sheppurd.urited the Court to make no such order at Mr. BriMike hud asked for, and he would not consent to fii any day for their trial. Mr.Caaaidy, who represents the prisoner's bail, stated that he had mude application for a remission of the forfei ture, and Juttxe Krowster, thouKh coiiseulinic to stay pro ceediiiKs for a short time, refused to pass upon his petition until these cases were tried ; und therefore, for the sake of the bail, who would be ruined by the sale of his property, be hoped his Honor would fix sums time within which to have tile cases tried. Mr. (Sheppard said he did not wish to be onderstKid as desiring an indefinite postponement, but that he only wished ample time to prepare for trial, assuring the Court, that his preparation would be ililixont, and that when he was prepared, or found he cuuld nut be prepared, ho would nottty Mr. Ilrooke. JuiIki' I .mlli put said thut ordinarily there would be much force in Mr. Brooke's motion, but this was not an ordinary case. The prisoner appeared as a fuuitive from justice, and was not entitled to the grace of the Court to such an eiteutaa to loroe the Commonwealth into a premature trial, especially when the District Attorney had said that his witnesses were absent under suspicious circumstanoes, and he was making every effort iu his power to enforce their attendance. And, moreover, if at the oiplraiion of two terms the prisoner had not been tried, he had his re medy under the law of the laud, t or these reasons he el used to Hi uday.

This well-known scholar died yesterday, aa we are Informed by a cattle telegram from London. He was the aon of a general in the service of the East India Company, and was born in Edinburgh on the 30th of June, 1798. After graduating from Exeter College, Oxford, he entered the Church and served as curate in several provincial towns nntll 1827, when he moved to London. Here he engaged in literary pursulta and soon became known as a writer of merit. Among the earllat of Ills works were "Specimena of the British Poetesses" anil one edi tion of the poet Collins. At a later date he edited, with notes and biographies, the dramatic and poetical works of sevaral authors, including lieau mont, Fletcher, and Marlowe. Gilford's unfinished edition of Shirley was also completed by Dr. Dyce. The work which established his reputation, however, was his edition of "Shakespeare," which waa first published in 1H57, and was received with marked favor by the press and public. "Hecollectlon of the Table Talk of Samuel Rogers," another of his works, Is well known In the United States, where it haa been reprinted and largely circulated At the time of his death Dr. Dyce was employed on a translation from the Greek of "Athenaius," and hud just pub lished a new edition of "Shakespeare." Although not a brilliant writer, the literary productions of the de ceased were distinguished for the care and thought bestowed upon every subject and for the clearness with which each idea was expressed. We may say that, Iu a great measure, the high reputation be pos sessed rested upon the Industry and jugdment which enabled him to furnish correct biographies of early writers and to fairly determine the true test of their works. Dr. Dyce was in the aeveuty-tirst year of his age. KIINA1TIX;. A W hite Child Carried Oil' by a Servant Girl. J 'roin the Keokuk (Iowa) date Vity, May 12. A man mimed Mr. Lucius Lawtou, a citizen of Hamilton, together with other residents of that place, came to this city yesterday In search of a young girl who had disappeared rather mysteriously and altogether unceremoniously, at an early hour in the morning, taking with her a child of Mr. Lawton's, about oue year old. The girl had been employed by Mr. Lawton as a servant. During the temporary absence of Mrs. Lawton, she collected together several articles of wearing apparel belonging to that lady, tied them up into a bundle, put in several pieces of jewelry and some silver apooua, kidnapped the child, and started for Keokuk. Soon after her departure had become know n the enraged and almost frantic father, assisted by several friends, started in pursuit. The gin was attired in such a manner aa to attract attention, lly rigid search and close inquiry she waa traced to the abode of a colored family in the third atory of one of the brick buildings near the corner of Sixth and Main streets. Immediately upon her arrival in the city she secreted the stolen goods somewhere on the levee. After her arrest alio waa led, by means of threats, to a disclosure of their whereabouts, and was escorted to the place, where everything was recovered. The delighted father took charge of his child, the girl was handed over to the prof er authorities, and the party returned to Hamilton. The girl won't, in all probability, go on another kidnapping expedition very soon. rim aci: Ami COTIMF.ItCI. Offick of the Kventno Trr.EORAPH.t Saturday, May 22, lHriO. J The announcement that Secretary Uoutwell would, in future, Increase his sales of gold to f2,00O,oo a week, instead of one, had a potent elfect on the gold market yesterday, reduciug the premium at one time during the day nearly 4 percent-; the average fall was not less than 2 per cent. This fact alone la a sulllcient argument against the stupid policy of hoarding gold and at the same time paying 6 per cent, for its usel It now remains to lie seen what will bo the effect of the sales of some f60,ouo,ooo of specie on the price of our public securities. Many of the opponents of Mr. HoutweU's policy ail'ect to believe that they will fall In value with gold laith here and abroad, but it seems to be forgotten that our receipts for duties are fully two millions a week, and the accumulation of so much treasure must bo checked, or it will have a very serious ell'ect upon all Iliiunclal and commercial values. Henco the announcement will be hailed with public satisfaction.

The New York Money market. From the Herald. "The declining tendency of (to'd obneirable iu the later transactions of Thursday waa more decided yesterday, leading as it did to a fall of nearly three per cent. There was seine hesitation in the early portion of the forenoon, owing to the distrust of the press despatch announoinc Secretary HoutweU's intention to increase tbe sales of ?nld, as the same influence haa been used so often and so raudulently that tbe publio Bund is more slow to be acted upon by it than formerly. The matter waa set at rest, however, by official intunatioa from Mr. Van Dyrk, the Sub-Treasurer, that he would in future and until far ther orders sell a million dollar of (told on Monday and Thursday of each week. The decline now set la rapidly, but as the lower fractions were reached the pre mium reacted under the ooverina; of short sales, bo that it was not until near 4 o'clock that the market 'touched bottom' for the day. The highest price -was 143V, the lowest 14U. The downward tendency was anointed by the improvement in bonds at London, and by extravagant rumors that Mr. Koutwell had resigned and Mr. George H. Stuart, of Philadelphia, been invited to take Ins portfolio, the name at Hrst reported being Alex ander T. Stewart, who, aa a heavy importer, would be the exponent of cheap gold. The 'bears' wore industrious in keeping up the ferment and endeavoring to frighten the 'outHide public' into parting with their gold, three mil lions of which they also tuid were to be sold by the Secre tary of t he Treasury. "The money market was more active and less was doing at sin per cent. Interested parties are endeavoring to create uneasiness by parading the effect of the increased sales of gold in withdrawing money from circulation. Kven if the Government wore less in need of fauds, the currency balance in the Treasury being thirteen millions, the payment for the gold may be made in lawful money,1 which will, prevent any encroachment upon the bank reserves. However, there can be no doubt that Secretary Uoutwell will buy bonds in the same pro portion as he sells gold. The buying of the one is the logical sequence of the other. He need not fear that, his increasing the amount will enhance thoir price, to the disadvantage of the ( iovernment ; for bonds at tueir prnsent price are inllated with the advance in ;old, and will grow cheaper as gold dculinos under his sales of Gov ernment treasure. L'ommeroial paper waa steady at seven to eight per cent., with some sales at nine. More soruMny ol names was reported. The suspension of a commission houxe on Thursday induced more caution, especially as private settlements of other bankruptcies were rumored "Foreign exchango was weak and lower in the presence of a large contribution of bills drawn against exported bonds, fable transfers were made to-day at 110'n. The nominal rate for prime bankers' sixty days sterling was H Hit, but large amounts could be bought an eighto per cent, lower. "Governments were inclined to drooo in consequence of tbe decline in gold, and fell off Ul to 4 per cent. The London quotation, 78i, at noon, tended to steady the miirket, but there was more hesitation when the London price finally came TH't. The foreign bankers have pur chased very large amounts within the last two days, and will ship several millions by Saturday's steamer. The .welding in gold, and the decided policy of Secretary Uout v. oil, ure regarded as certain to beneficially influence the oreinn market." Philadelphia Trade Report. Satihday, May 22.
