limit v. Sumner.
Hit Francis Head, formerly Governor-General of
Canada, In a t wo-column letter to the London TimtH
of the. lst ultimo calls to iniiul the course pursued
by tho Americans In the Canadian relicllioii of 1H!17.
The communications exchanged between Hlr Francis
and Mr. Marcy, then Governor of the Ntate of New
VOrk, arc Klvcn In full. On the '2'2d he published
another communication, with additional letters from
Mr. Marey. A third communication, which con
cludes the ecrtes, was subsequently published.
The concluding portion of the lirst letter reads as
follows:
The facts and figures for the comparison are briefly
as follows:
On the 4th of December, 1N37, when Mr. MeKenzle,
at the head of !S00 followers, armed, many with
sticks, many with pikes, and the rent with ride's, sud
denly appeared before Toronto, the population of
Upper Canada was 4B0,0tl0 anil that of the lloine Dis
trict (10,000, that of Toronto 10,000.
On the 7th. with (rreat dillleuity, he escaped In dis
guise to the United states. On the following day I
not only Issued a proclamation to stop the volunteers
who from all directions were flocking towards To
ronto, but, besides the whole of the Queen's troops,
who previous to the outbreak had been despatched,
I placed tho militia of seven counties at the disposal
of Sir J. Cnlhorne in the lower province; and, lastly,
so completely was the outbreak at an end than not
requiring tho assistance of military or eveu civil law,
1 pardoned on the day of their capture every rebel
prisoner brought before me, and during my admin
istration did not allow a single rebel to be executed,
for the reason, as I expressed it, "that, not requiring
the death of a fellow creature, I felt the Angel of
, Mercy would be of greater service to me than the
Hemon of Kevengo, and it was so."
Now, It was under these circumstances, and at a
moment when there was not in I ipper Canada at
rebel In arms, that the Governor of the State of New
York, on the Sftth of December, as advised by his
Attorney-General, resolved (by abrogating that
solemn treaty between Great Britain and the United
States, under which, only four months before, on
the demand of the authorities of hiB own State of
New York, I had loyally delivered up to him an
American cltizeu, charged on due evidence of having
robbed the Bank of Rochester, in the said State, to
proclaim on behalf of the United States "neutral
ity" between two so-called "belligerent" forces. The
one, the triumphant, merciful power and peaceful
authority of Great Britain in Upper Canada; the
other, a gang of desperadoes (commanded, as will
be shown, by an American "general'"), every one of
whom had followed him and the fugitive murderer,
Mr. McKcnzie, not from Canada, but from the ter
ritory of tho United States to a little uninhabited
British island in the narrow river Niagara. Assem
bled there, and waging war under no national tlag,
this isolated gang, by the law of nations, were
pirates the enemies of mankind In general, and
especially of the United States, whose sensitive honor
they had insulted by having, as will be proved to
you, forcibly captured twenty-two pieces of their
Government artillery, as well as many thousands
their muskets.
Instead, however, of avenging they condoned this
insult, and, allowing their cannon to tire for a fort
night on the Canadian people (including myself),
three of whom they killed, the Governor of tho great
and highly civilized State of New York, against my
earnest remonstrance, insisted and persisted in as
suming the misnomer of "neutral," and In declaring
me and the robber of his arsenals, Mr. MoKenaie,
to be "belligerents," allowing, however, in breach
of neutrality, the latter, whenever he thought proper,
not only to land and harangue the citizens or the
United States, but daily to receive from them for his
gang. Increased by them to upwards of 1000, food,
powder, shot, and ball cartridges, the three latter
taken from the Government arsenals. Now, 1 beg
leave to ask the people of tho United States to con
sider and declare whether such conduct accents
with the doctrine expounded in Mr. Sumner's speech
to their Senate.
The course of policy above pursued by the consti
tuted authorities of the United Slates was either
right or wrong.
Supposiug, lor a moment, that it wts wrong, it
does not follow, because England overlooked it. at
the time and has long ago forgotten it, that she has
now no dormant claims for apology and compensa
tion. The American Government and people, however,
maintain that it was right. If so, as itcaunot be
right, only when they pursue it, and wrong when
pursued by any other nation, 1 most respectfully
submit to their good sense and good feeling that
comparing to tiny dimensions of strength, dura
tion, and cost of the outbreak of t he rebel McKcnzie
with the gigantic dimensions of the strength, dura
tion and cost of the outbreak of the Rebel Jefferson
Davis, it is logically, morally, and politically impos
sible for them to refuse now to accept from the
British people, as their reasonable apology for (ueen
Victoria having in May, I8i 'as Mr. Sumner com
plains, "accorded belligerent rights" to the latter, at
that periotlfa successful "rebel, "the Identical words of
explanation given to her representative in Upper
Canada in December, 1HU7, by the authorities of tho
United States, for having accorded belligerent rights,
protection, cannon, muskets, ammunition, and food
to the former defeated fugitive and rebel and robber
iij their own Government arsenals.
England's Urm, friendly answer, therefore, to what
Mr. Sumner has deemed it advisable to term "tins
great question, the musslve grievance, the original,
far-reaching, and destructive wrong," in his own
words, authorized to be published by his own Senate,
is, I submit, as follows:
"He (Jefferson Davis) was at the head of a military force
a foree hostile to the Government and seeking its sut
vereion&nd overthrow by violence. 1 was a civil war;
whether just or unjust in not. materiul for the present
purpose to inquire ; it is enough t hat it was a state of
open, public, and notorious war on one Bide to over
throw and on the other to preserve the (United States)
Government."
Between the belligerents or wagers of this "open,
public, and notorious war" no foreign country had
any right to Interfere, and in acknowledgment
thereof England alone, of all the nations of Europe,
pledged herself by proclamation to remain neutral.
1 have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
K B. Head,
Late Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada.
Mr. Foreler Jtrview Neniiior Sumner's A 1 li
bitum til'ITll.
Mr. Forster, member of Parliament for Bradford,
appeared before his constituents ou the 20th ult., at
a public meeting, and in the course of his speech
delivered ou the occasion, Uealluded to the position
of Mr. Sumner on the Alabama claims. Tho follow
ing is a synopsis of Mr. Forster' address:
The right honorable gentleman next alluded to the
American question, especially referring to Sumner a
speech. England had felt a warm Interest in the
cause of the North of America in the victory of
freedom over slavery. Sumner had complained that
England hail acted in a hostile maimer with respect
to the proclamation of neutrality. Sumner appeared
to consider that the South ought to have been
treated as pirates. But he (Mr. t'oister) found, from
Ins study of international law, that where there
was a revolution between suites in the same conn-
try, they were belligerents, and that U was the duly
of a neutral government to treat them as such.
Then again, Mr. Sumner hail remarked that, al
though there was war bv land then in America, there
was no war at sea; but remember the proclamations
the Northern States made, aud let thena also con
sider that the North themselves, by the block
ade of ports in the South, recognized tho
existence of war with the South. The Southern
Confederacy ran their vessels out of port,
and time after time disturbed the blockade tho
North had instituted. The blockade in itself was au
act of war. Hunmer also appeared to contend that
that blockade was not a real blockade, but Mr.
Forster argued that the American Government were
playing upon words, lor sailing to Southern ports
waa the act. of a belligerent power. Although there
were Individuals who had committed acts otrensive
to the North, they ought to look at what the Govern
ment of the country had done.
Kegarding the press, Mr. Korster said ."Well,
there were newspapers, and very able newspapers
your own newspaper, the newspaper of Leeds;
many newspapers in London, who took the side of
' the North. And I will say this there is a great
newspaper in England, the Time, aud there is
a great newspaper iu America, the New York
lltrald. There was a ' time in which the Tim
seemed as if it would fan animosity between
Rug land und the North. There was a time, and
there is a time, in which the New York Herald
seem to do the same. But we have this advantage,
at any rate, that our great paper has seen the ereur
of it ways, and their great paper has not." With
respect to the Alabama business, it ought to bo
remembered that Karl Knssell had strained the law,
and kept the armed rams from going from Liver
pool. Sumner had also said that when Ameri
cans came to England they were sure
to be annoyed by hearing observations un
favorable to the North; but it was absurd
for them to take the club rooms of the West End
and Helgravla as their criterion In this respect.
If onr American friends had gone into the workshops
cf England they would have heard quite a different
story for the sympathies of the English people were
fully in favor of the abolition of savery. In his
opinion there could be no war between America and
England, for thero could be no real antagonistic feel
ing between people mutually speaking the English
language and of kindred tastes and habits.
Warlike Preparations'.
According to the H-'i'iwf of St Petersburg, General
Todtleben has prepared a plan for converting Kieff
Into a strong fortress, capable of holding from 50,000
to 6n,ono men. This plan has lieen approved by the
Government, and steps are now being taken for car
rying It out- The General states in his report that,
the formications of that town are at present so weak
that a hostile corps from Oallcln or the Black Hva
could penetrate without dillleuity Into the heart of
the empire before a sutllclent army could lie placed
so as prevent Its further progress, lie therefore con
siders It absolutely necessary to make so important
a strategical point as Kicif a strong garrison lortress.
FRANCE.
I'rcncli View of the Importance of .Minister
W itMlihiirnc'a Untie.
From La Liberie, May 81.
We have already announced the arrival of Mr.
Washburne, who comes to assume the duties of
United States Minister In place of General Dlx. In
view of the ever-Increasing Importance of the poli
tical Influence of the United States in Europe;
in view also of the hostility of the United States
Senate to England, and of the complications
that might, arise should the now existing dittl
eulty culminate In a serious conflict, a bio
graphical sketch of Mr. Washburne is of posi
tive Interest, Mr. Washburne is one of the
most popular men In his country; the friendship
binding him to General Grant is of the most inti
mate character; hence the mission he has come to
f 11 llll In Paris has an especial significance.
Since the Union war, American policy seems to have
had for Ms object the augmenting of the share of In
fluence of the Republic, that had hitherto stood aloof
from the contests or Europe. The mission of
Admiral Farragut, the negotiations commenced with
Turkey and Italy for the establishment of an
American naval station in the Mediterranean,
the persistency of the American Senate in
exacting from England amends en regie for
the support given the pro-slavery party,
would suttlce to vouch for this tendency, even were
not evidence of all kinds at hand to attest its exist
ence. General Grant, It Is said, Is disposed to em
phasize it still more strongly by making of the pro
gramme we refer to the objective point of his policy.
If this be true, the new President needs to represent
his Government, vin-a-vU the European powers, men
upon whom he can place as perfect reliance as upon
himself. Mr. Washburne is such a man; he can at
least be regarded as one of those persons who pos
sess the fullest confidence of the Executive, and are
the best informed as to his secret plans.
AVhnt France Tlilnltw of England and tho
United NliUen.
The Conxtitvtionncl, of Paris, of the 21st ult., re
ferring to Senator Sumner's speech, comments as
follows:
The opinions In Eugland must be much irritated
against the United States for the speech, of Senator
Sumner, with his expressions of violence and
menace, to have drawn the Time from Its
habitual calm and measured attitude. What
appears mostly to exasperate the city paper,
is the demand, supposed to emanate from the
Federal Government, to submit the difference to a
foreign arbitration. The Time will not hear or It,
and to those Americans who complain of the con
duct of England during tho war of secession it re
vives the language ami attitude observed by their
lournais and statesmen during tne war in tne
Crimea and India. Both evidently have their blood
up, and all the prudence of the two Governments
will be necessary in order to prevent matters irom
going further.
GHASTLY REVELATIONS.
.More Relies of the Spanish Iniiiilwirion Un
f arlhcd I.nlewt Parliculurn of the Disco
very. The London Star has the following from Madrid :
A somewhat ghastly incident lias caused consider
able excitement here within the last few weeks.
Within a few hundred yards of the new Plaza do Dos
Mayo, inaugurated ou the at or tins mouth, there is
a locality called the Cruz del Ojiemadero. It Is a
Held some three hundred metres square, at the top of
the Calle Aricha do San Bernardo, near the hospi
tal built by the ex-Queen. Through it a new road
was lately opened, and as the ground was ele
vated, a cutting of considerable depth had to be
dug. The workmen laid bare several peculiar-looking
horizontal strata, of irregular formation. One was
one hundred and llfty feet in length, another fifty,
another ten. The thickness varied from eight to
eighty centimetres. In color the soil was black, the
lower strata being much niacker man tne superior
ones, on examination lumps or cnarred wood were
found, interspersed with ashes, evidently the remains
of some huge fire. Curiosity was soon excited, and
further Investigation demonstrated that in por
tions of these ugly looking strata the finger came
upon small pieces of adipose matter, which yielded
like butter to the touch, iron rings were gruuoeu
up; human bones, a cranium, a long tuft of hair,
having belonged to some lemaie. au these were
more or less charred. Some of the iron was partially
fused, and the texture of bone Intermingled with
sand was plainly discernible, a gag, too, turned up.
The question, what were these lugubrious Tecords?
was answered at once. This field of the Cruz del
ouemadero was the place where the Inquisition dis
posed of some of its victims. Here were the ghastly
proofs of the horrors of which this place had been
the scene, suddenly brought to light after the lapse
of two centuries. On the 12th of May, 10!'.), eighty
three heretics, including twenty Hebrews, of
whom live were womeu, were immolated ou
this very spot. The pile or wood was eignty
feet in length by seven feet In height. A great con
course witnessed the auto da fr, and the horrible
ceremonial completed, the peopiei buried tne re
mains of their victims under car-loads of earth.
These Irregular geological strata are naught else but
the silent testimony to the atrocities perpetrated ou
this spot in the name of religion and "Catholic
Unity. " out of one your special correspondent
hooked out with his finger one entire bone of a
human vertebral column, a portion 01 a tibia, a frag
ment of a shoulder-blade with a hole through It, aud
a bit of a rib, all bearing the marks of tire. Up
ward of two cart-loads of remains of this sort
have been carried away and decently
burled. But these horrible strata! There they
remain to tell their own tale aud instruct the present
generation. Onthelilth a public meeting was con
vened, to bo held at the tniemadero, by the Republi
can youth of Madrid, to protest against priestly in
tolerance and to advocate freedom of conscience.
That this discovery should have been made at a mo
ment when the Spanish clergy are striving their
utmost to attlrm the "unity of the Unman Catholic
Church," and are preaching in the churches of the
metropolis against heresy, is a striking coincidence.
The Oueniadero is so frequented by people in
search of relics, and the explorations of these strata
have been so extensive, that tho authorities have
barred the frontage oil", and prohibited access. It Is
their iutention to cut a square block, and there erect
a monument. It is estimated by Lloriente, the great
historian of the Inquisition, that this atrocious tri
bunal has deprived Spain of twelve millions of souls,
Including the Jews and Moors expelled from the
cuuntry.Thii't.v-one thousand and nlnety-t woperished
by (Ire; 17,6.')! were 11 rst butchered and then burned;
821,9n' died of torture. Total, 270,7.ttl.
GOLD IN SCOTLAND. An English paper says:
Lord Saltoun's factor having by some means con
ceived that the rocks about Fraserburgh might con
tain gold, the services of an ol I Califorulau digger
were secured, and a day or two ago a number of
stones broken off quartz veins, and containing what
appeared to auriferous substance, were picked up In
the neighborhood of Ktnnaird's Head Lighthouse,
and forwarded to an analyst in London lor Inspec
tion. Since then largo numbers of persons have
visited the spot, several of whom have also chanced
upon blocks of quarts which contained particles of
cold. In one case a grain weight of pure gold was
taken from a tiny splinter, and such is the
etiKemess manifested by not a few to allow the
chance to slip past them unimproved, that largo
blocks of stone of all descriptions are taken home at
all hours of the day for leisurely inspection. No
quantity of any consequence has as yet been "Hoo
vered but that the quartz veins to be seen In the
face of a large mass of overlying rock really contain
gold can hardly be questioned. Whether It exists to
an extent which would recompense the toil and ex
pense of digging it from Biich an inaccessible bed i
a point whlchltmay take time to decide.

Have to Say.
Our New Minister to Franee
A Grand Testimonial to
Ex-Minister Dix His
Speech.
FROM ENGLAND.
jMr. Mollcy'x Mixtion Comment of the I n
liHb 1'reiNt Full Ivxlrucln.
By Atlantic Cable.
London, June 1. Mr. Motley, it is under
stood to-day, addressed a letter to Lord Claren
don, informing him of Lis arrival iu London,
and officially requesting the appointment of a
day for tbe presentation of Lis credentials. As
the Prince of Wales holds a levee to-day, to
morrow has been named as tho more fitting time
for the ministerial introduction. Mr. Moran,
tho United States Chargo d'Affaircs, attended
the levee and was presented.
The burden of the newspaper articles pub
lished here to-day on tho subject of Mr. Motley's
arrival is generally to the effect that the writers
find in his speech in Liverpool an indication of
the spirit of the instructions given to him by
President Grant.
The London Daily JVeto hays that it is glad to
b able to conclude from the speech of Mr.
Motley that he has not come without specific in
structions, and that it is satisfactory to find that
on the question of the relations between tho
United States and England President Grant
has a policy of conciliation and peace.
One clear gain likely to result from
Mr. Motley's presence in London, with defi
nite instructions from his Government, will
be the removal of a diflieult question from
the region of unolllcial debate and rhetorical
exaggeration into that of a business statement
and diplomatic negotiation. The English peo
ple are content to leave our side of the matter
in the hands of Lord Clarendon, and tho country
will accept any plan of settlement which he and
Mr. Motley may arrange, and should be glad to
be equally sure of its acceptance by the Seuato
of the United StatCB.
The London Star publishes a highly compli
mentary article, in which it says that the cha
racter of Mr. Motley is in itself a sufficient indi
cation that the United StatC9 of America will
treat the pending subject honorably, while the
presence of Mr. Bright iu tho English Cabinet,
with Mr. Gladstone at the head of tho Ministry,
constitute an equally sufficient guarantee that
England loves peace, and that a determination
to do justice animates the Ministry.
The Telegraph thinks that Mr. Motley will for
the present devote himself to tho discharge of
the ordinary duties of his otlice, and that in that
capacity ho may consolidate that cordial alliance
which ought to exist between tho two countries.
It will be a reproach to English politicians and
journals if, for the sak of pandering to popu
lar prejudice, they throw difficulties in tho way
of the mission of good-will and peace which
Mr. Motley declares he comes to carry out eveu
to the end.
The London Times understands that no new
demand has been addressed to England. Mr.
Motley enters upon his duties without any
prospect of controversy, but at the earne time
says that the English Government should exa
mine any new proposals, and see if they promise
a just and equitable solution. If tho neutrality
proclamation is made the subject of gvievanco
we are bound to listen to the arguments ad
duced, though it is improbable that any good
purpose would be served by raising such dis
cussion. The Pall Hall Gazette, as usual, has a snob
bish article on the subject, boasting that America
has backed down before British pluck, and that
under these circumstances the arrival of the new
Minister is of small Importance, and the best
result they anticipated from Mr. Motley's mis
sion is that his duties will afford him sufficient
leisure to prosecute his historical studies.
Notwithstanding the tone of the London press,
I have good authority for saying that not one of
the newspapers has received tho slightest hint or
indication of Mr. Motley's instructions, which,
I am assured, will iu tho end be found thoroughly
dignified and iu a firm American tone.

Pakib, Juno 1. A splendid farewell American
banquet was given to General Dix at the Grand
Hotel to-night. Between three aud lour hun
dred persons were present. I did jot notice any
foreigners in tho room. Messrs. Washburne,
the General's successor; Burlingamo and Bullock,
of Massachusetts, wore the only American guests.
Mr. Cowdiu, of New York, presided.
General Dix, In response to tho toast of his
health, delivered an eloquent speech, thankin
the assembly for the compliments paid him. He
reviewed the past progress and referred to the
future prospects of" their common connkry,
Alluding to tho completion of the Pacific Rail
road, he said it realized tho prophetic dream and
great thought of Columbus, by opening a
western passage from Europe to tho In
dies, lie iail . that in the present cen
tury little more was needed to complete
the work. It engaged no xtcrnal attraction to
induce a prcssuro outward or from within so as
to divert tho public mind from the work. There
never was an instance in the history of humanity
when society possessed so many elements
calculated to devote the attention of a great
people towards internal development, and turn
their thoughts from the fatal policy of forcible
aggrandizement, which instinct, combined with
the spirit of international discord, carries with
it, as well as all tho elements of domestic dis
aster and humiliation. If tho jurisdiction
of tho United States of America be eularged,
it will bo by amicablo arrangements with other
States. America gained 00111101 at any time by
violence or Injustice, and sho desires to gam
nothing in tho future by unworthy schemes of
territorial aggrandizement, by which uations,
sooner or later, are sure to work out their
own downfall. If future accessions of territory
come, it will Ue, as in tho past, from cause
prepared byond tho circle of our in
fluences, and by agencies higher than
our own. . Alter alluding to the pro
per ambition of tho American people,
the General said: Wo may trust in providence
for a continuance of our national prosperity, if
iu our intercourse with foreign States wo con
form to those rules of international right and obli
gation which have received the sanction of tlie
civilized world; demanding only that the
same maxims of reciprocal justice shall bo
sacredly respected by others; that tho high seas
shall be recognized as a common pathway,
and that the nations shall bo freo from all pre
tensions of superiority or arbitrary control. In
relation to France,' ho said that there existed
between America and France, from the earliest
period, a strong bond of iitlluity which shonld
never bo broken. Franco cama to our aid at a
trying period, in tho infancy of tho country, and
during the very throes of national gestatiou. Sho
rendered essential service to Washington by the
swords of her soldiers Lafayette, Rochambeau,
and Count do Grnsse while D'Estringe, Trux
ton, and Paul Jones, at sea unsheathed their
swords in tlie cause of ludependenco. Owing to
this, misunderstandings, betweeu tho two coun
tries for nearly a century have been few, unim
portant, aud brief in duration, leaving no rank
ling feeling or resontmeuts behind.
After pitying an eloquent tribute to tho genius
of Napoleon aud the worth aud virtue of the
Empress, General Dix referred to the qualifica
tions of his successor, Mr. Washburne.
Speeches were subsequently mudo by Mr.
Burliugme, Mr. Washburne, Mr. Bullock, and
others.
The entertainment was a great success.

Wednesday, June 2, lHosi. f
A iiriel two months ago the cry among our busi
ness men was, "Where shall I get money ? Never
mind the Interest, only give me money."' This was a
memorable epoch for banks, bill brokers, aud Shy
locks generally, and whoever were the fools, the
lenders were certainly the wise men. The strin
gency which had reigned during the pre
vious month was nearly as great a windfall
as the Hebellion was to some of our rail
roads lending to Washington. Mut this was too
good to last, aud now all is changed. A complete
metamorphosis, a sort of palingenesis has literally
turned tlie money market Inside out. The cry is all
among tho money-changers, "Who wants money?
Never mind the iuterest, give us what you like, but
only take our money." The change would be com
plete but for one thing. The cry falls on still air, and
there Is no echo, and thus the market Is glutted with
currency which nobody seems to want, and even live
per cent, loans are sent "a-begging and no takers."
This is an extreme of ease which rellects the un
satisfactory condition of all branches of Industry.
The rates for loans and discounts are nominal and
quotations are unreliable.
Government loans were firm but quiet. Gold
opened at 130)4, and wan quoted at 189 at noon.

From the A. 1'. Herald.
"The money market was more active, and seven
per cent, was paid in all cases on stocks, anil iu
nmrly every Instance on Government collaterals.
I he occasion of this disturbance was primarily tho
fact that, as the day was the first of the month, a
great many loans were changed owing to the expira
tion of contracts and the making of new agreements.
This activity was taken advantage- of by the 'bears,'
ho aggravated matters as much as possible, If they
did not actually tic up funds, home bank accounts
were not made up until after three o'clock.
Commercial paper shows a slight concession in rates,
which, for tlie bulk of transactions, range from
seven to eight and a half per cent., in some in
stances, particularly where the maker is not dis
posed to 'go shopping' for a market, but wishes
money In haste, or where the amount is larger than
the usual run of notes, good paper has been sold at
as high as nine per cent, discount. The private
market and the country banks are subjected to more
competition from the city banks, which, from tho
redundancy of national currency received on deposit
by them, as well as on account of the tendeucy to
lower interest, so usual in summer, aro Inclined to
enlarge their accommodation.
"Governments opened with great buoyancy, In re
sponse to a rise to 81 for bonds In London, and prlcos
at the noon board touched their highest stneo the
sharp decline In gold. In the afternoon there waa
considerable realization, while somu uneasiness was
occasioned by an erroneous cable quotation giving
the London price as 70 ',' at 1 o'clock. Later in tho
day this was discovered to be an error for 80?,'. The
activity In money, however, prevented a reaction,
and the market closed dull.
t- "A telegram from London to the Journal de ft.
retertbourg, under date of May 14, confirms the offer
of five millions sterling in gold made by the Bank of
France to the Bank of England, which was, how
ever, refused by the latter.
"Mr. Van Dyc.k, the Assistant Treasurer In this
city, did not ret ire from the duties of his office to
day, Secretary Boutwell having requested that he
would continue In the position until tho 15th Inst.
This would indicate that Mr. Boutwell has not as
yet selected a successor for the position, from whieii
Mr. Van Dyck formally resigned some time ago.
"The advance In gold as well as the higher quota
tions for live-twenties in London created a fuller
supply of commercial and bond bills, under which
bankers' sterling bills reached an eighth to a quarter
per cent While the sight quotation was nominally
110'V at the close, a good deal had been done at 110.
Cable transfers were made at 110!.
"Gold was strong under the renewal of tho bull
speculation and rose over one per cent The success
of the movement might have been more decided had
the foreign quotation for Five-twenties not deterred
outside buyers.
"Cash gold was In abundant supply again and as
high as 1-32 and 8 per cent were paid for carrying.
The lowest rate was 5 pei cent and tho average 6 to
7. The disbursements of coin Interest to-day were
(83,111. The llolsatla, from Europe, brought (80,000,
and the Allemanuta, for Europe, took out (253,000 in
specie."
