MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
This Minister is descended from one of the
most aneicut aud distinguished families of
France, dating back from Alfred, created Count
of Auvergne by Charles tho Simple, Klug of
Frauco. during the latter part of the ninth cen
tury. Many of tho members were famous as
statesmen or soldiers, and the entire line has
held a prominent position in France for nearly
one thousand years. The genealogical history
of this family is a most Interesting one.
The subject of this sketch, Prince Henri God
frey Bernard Alphouse, is tho chief of the braueh
of Lauraquais, into which the house has merged,
and is now known by the title of Prince de la
Tour Auvergue-Lauraquals. lie was born at
Paris on the 23d of October, 1823, his father
being Prince Charles Melchior Philippe Ber
nard. At the time of the coup d'etat iu 1853 he
was a young man of twenty-uiiie years of ago,
and was distinguished for his ubilities. diploma
t tic and otherwise. By promptly giving in his
adhesion to tho empire, lie was received into tho
favor of the Empeior Napoleon, and after the
lapse of a few years was named Senator of
France, holding that position with credit. Iu
. August, 1851, he married Emilia Celeste do
Moutault des lies, by whom he had one child, a
boy, born In June, 1852. His wile died at Flo
rence on the 8th of March, 1857, and he lias uot

IMIIIlOb,
ndmirnl of the imperial navy. Ho was born at
Rochefort on the 12th of Anril. In the year
1807, and admitted to the naval school of
Fiance in 1825. Ho entered the navy in 150,
was en tain of a frigate In 181, a member of
the Admiralty in Paris in 1853, and rear ad
miral of the naval brigade operating against
Scliat-topol in 1854. In the year 1856 he was des
patch! d to command the licet In the China seas,
and there co-operated with the British at the
capture of Canton In 1857. He was promoted
Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor In 1855,
nnd created Senator in 1800. In tho month of
January, 1H02. he took command of tho squad
ron in the Mediterranean, and was named Ad
miral Jansary 27, 1804. Ho was Minister of
Marine in 1807. The Admiral has paid much
attention to the development of the French
iron-clad licet, and is a practical as well as a
scientific ollicer. He Is a writer as well as a
navigator, and has edited some two or three
populur works in Paris.
MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR.
M. la Roqiicttc, though not prominent for so
many yeors as most of his colleagues in the new
Ministry, has been for some time distinguished
ns one of the advisers of Napoleon. Tho first
prominent olllce held by him was in 1801, wheu
lie was appointed a Councillor of State
nnd Director-General of Customs and .in
direct taxes. During the year follow
ing he was promoted to the position of
decretory of State for the Finauelal Department.
In 1805 he was appointed one of the vice-presidents
of the Council of State. On tho iWth of
January, 1807, tho French Ministers tendered
their resignations te the Emperor. Among
those accepted was that of M. Belline, Minister
irf Agriculture, Commerce, etc., and to this post
M. cle Forcade la Koquctte was appointed.
During the early part of the present year M.
Pinard, Minister of the Interior, resigned, and
the subject of this sketch was appointed to fill
his place. It will thus be seen that there is
really no change in this branch of the Emperor's
Cabinet.
THE SUEZ CANAL.
The Ceremonies tlint Will Altrnd itn Opening
Intt'rt'HiiiiK Letter from M. l.enpicps.
On the 17th of November next the Suez Canal
will be opened. Tho work of building this
canal was undertaken and carried through by
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the distinguished F rench
engineer, and cousin of the Empress Eugenie.
The w ork was partially begun iu 1854, but not
till 1859 did it fairly commence. The mere cut
ting of a canal or ditch through the level isth
mus was a small job compared with the obsta
cles w hich had to be overcome. After the right
of way had been ceded by the Turkish and Egyp
tian Governments for cutting a canal, the British
Government, the representatives of Russia,
Austria, and the power of that gigantic mono
poly, the Peninsular and Oriental Steamship
Company, was brought to bear In getting the
commission withdrawn. The canal is finally a
triumph over all obstacles; the work is finished,
and cost $80,000,000, gold; the stock is held in
all the countries of Europe.
The following is a translation of M. do Lcs
seps' letter;
The opening has been fixed for the 17th of Novem
ber next Length of canal, 162 kilometres, 88 1-10
miles; whole distance, S metres '26 feet depth of
water; width on the Hue of water, 100 metres 820
feet, with the exception of three passages where this
will be found to be 60 metres 195 feet. Tolls for strips
going through the canal have been llxed by the act
of concession, article 17 of the act determining these
tolla The following is the section from the conces
sion made bv Said Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt, to the
company, granting the right of way, etc. The cou
cludirigbf one of these sections Is to this effect:
First. Toll on all ships, same scale of charges with
out any exception or special privilege.
Second. Tariff of charges aud tolls shall be pub
lished three months before the canal Is fully opened,
In capitals and principal commercial porta of the
countries interested in the navigation of thlscanaL
Third. That tho special tolls for navigating tho
rnnui nhnit not exceed the maximum llgure of 10
francs (J1-R1) per ton, cargo carried on ships, and
per head for passengers. An International Commis
sion Ib now engaged at the present time in determin
ing an official scale for ships ol all Hags. In the
meantime, until this is established, the tolls of 10
francs (81-S7) per ton capacity will bo laid upon the
entiro cargo as shown by the ship's papers.
Steamships will go through propelled by their own
rower, and will be obliged to have regular pilots.
The passage through will occupy 15 to 20 hours. The
company will have suitable towage for sailing ves
sels to pass through the whole cauaL. The pilotage,
towage, and harbor dueB have not been determined,
but will be upon the most liberal basis.
The arrangements for the opening of tho canal
on the 17th of November are fully developed.
The Viceroy of Egypt proposes to entertain his
guests with unprecedented ma'gultlccnee. On
the bank of the canal are being erected lodges,
constructed, fitted, and decorated so as to be re
presentative of the characteristics of the several
countries to which the guests Jelong. Public
amusemeuts, theatres, circuses, balls, and fetes
are to be provided for tho recreation of the
assemblage, which promises to be as
brilliant as varied in its charac
ter. It was expected that the Emperor of
the French would be able to attend in
person, but as it is reported that neither him
self nor his Empress will, for state reasons, be
able to attend, it is probable that Prince Napo
Icon will be his proxy. The heir presumptive
of the Italian Crown will represent Victor
Emanuel; the King of Prussia will send a num
ber of the royal family, and the Prince of
Wales, probably accompanied by Prince
Arthur, will represent Queen Victoria. Tho
k'inemf Greece will also attend. The French
Emperor is having manufactured at Lyons a tent
of woven silk and worsted, which will cost
430.000. to be erected for the Emperor or his
ututives. This tent will be taken to
Vnris alter the ceremonies, and sold at public
auction, the proceeds to be distributed among
the poor.
It ih stated that a steamer has been chartered
to leave No York about the first of September for
Port Said, touching at Marseilles, ieguorn, anu
other Mediterranean ports, so as to auow visit
ors to be present at the opening ceremonies.

On Monday last we were shown by Mr. Perry,

he struck the mule witu uis iasu, anu it gave a

of the coin. The staves of tho keg were rotten,
but the dollars were as sound as when coined
at the old Spanish mint. On digging up the keg
bo found it contained fivo thousand dollars, all
in old Spanish dollars of tho date of about 1800,
and American half-dollars of old date. Tue keg

F"rom the special correspondence of ttie iNew
York Times, dated Port Jervis, N. Y., Sund.iy,
July 18, we take the following:
Jnmw Griflln, the englncerjwho, it Is averred,
by his own carelessness sent eight or more souls
into eternity by tho horrible disaster at Mast
Hope, Pa., was arrested, as announced In the
city papers, at Salamanca. A detective at that
place took him to Great Bend, Pa., where a war
rant from tho authorities was issued, and he was
arrested and placed in charge of olllccrs until
the arrival of police from Port Jervis and con
stables from Pike county, who put him ou
board the first train East, arriving in Port
Jervis yesterday at noon. Upon tho arrival of
the train carriages were In waiting, and he was
quietly conducted to one of them, and imme
diately started for Milford, tho county scat of
Pike county, A crowd had congregated at the
depot to get a glimpse of the prisoner; but the
railway officials managed the affair so quietly
that he was on his way to jail ere his friends or
the curious could catch a glimpse of him. At
Milford ho was given in charge of Sheritf Cor
ncliuson, who placed him in jail. I understand
an effort will bo made to-morrow to secure his
release on bail.
The prisoner states that ho was asleep at the
time of the accident, and pulled the throttle of
his engine while in a dreamy and half uncon
scious state. He says he Is extremely sorry, but
that be ought not to be punished severely. He
confesses that he was to blame in allowing him
self to go to sleep, but thinks his fireman was
asleep also, and says that he depended on his
fireman. Ho adds that he mcaus to tell the
whole truth, and that no man ever worked
harder for promotion aud the interests of the
rond than ho.
He states that after the accident he went to
I.ackawaxen, by the advice of friends, and then
to his home in Susquehanna. Having a sister
near Salamanca, his wifo and friends advised
and urged him to stay with his sister until the
affair bad blown over, and he could return In
safety. He did not mean to run away.
The prisoner is small in stature, and seems
reconciled to his arrest, but seems somewhat
fearful that he will be rigorously dealt with.
Tho bodies of tho victims of the disaster, who
have not been identified, were placed in neat
coffins, and yesterday morning were interred in
Laurel Grove Cemetery, In one grave, side by
side. The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Messrs. Munsfield, Botsford, and Vancleve.
A large concourse of citizens followed the
funeral tortege to the cemetery. This afternoon
the funeral of David Bacr, the German who was
killed and burned, took place from tho German
Lutheran Church. His remains were interred in
the cemetery.
GENERALITIES.
A Presidential Axplrnnt.
The only Democrat who seems to be fully up
with the age is the Hon. Augustus Oakey Hall,
Mayor of New York. He has bid adieu to con
servatism, old-fogyism, and the notions that
were in dispute before tlio Hood, and goes forth
on a new campaign with the flag of free Cuba in
one hand and encouragement to American in
dustry and genius, especially in yacht-building
and sailing, In tho other. Ho does not believe
in fighting over again the battles in which the
party has been beaten because it deserved to be,
as do the Democrats of Pennsylvania; but he is
young, progressive, original, and audacious.
Who Knows but that, after all, we may have to
run him for the Presidency in 1872 ? JV. Y. Sun.
After Ilorie.
At a meeting of the Maine Historical Society,
a few days since, a resolution was passed ex
pressing regret that any officer of our Govern
ment with a sweep of his pen should endeavor
to obliterate from our gallant navy the bcautitul
and cherished names given to our public ships
on wlso considerations, and which serve to per
petuate the terms appropriately applied by the
native Inhabitants to their streams, their moun
tains, their cataracts, and the familiar objects of
their daily life, than which none could be more
pertinent or of striking significance. The so
ciety, therefore, earnestly protests against this
action of the late Secretary, and respectfully
urges that the old familiar names may bo re
stored, and that in the future naming of our
armed ships due regard may be had to the use
of aboriginal names, as better suited than any
other to our national character and history. Jv.

The Tfoopiac Tunnel.
Work on the central shaft over the Hoosac
Tunnel, where the fatal accident happened two
years ago, is now progressing at tho rate of a
foot a day. It has now reached a depth of 705
feet. New air drills are being set up which ex
pedite tho work, so that it is expected that the
whole depth, 1000 feet, will be excavated by
March next. At the eastern end of the tunnel
thev are putting up six of the improved com
pressed air-drills. Tho heading of the western
end is one mile and 200 feet from the entrance.
Gangs of miners are constantly at work on the
headings, while others ire carrying out the en
largement, 150 feet of which Is made. Three
hundred and sixty feet have been taken from
the heading since the first of April. Last week
the rock was penetrated 41 feet; this week it
will probably amount to more than 50 foot. At
each blast that is made ou the enlargement 20
cubic yards of rock are displaced. At this rate
of progression, the tunnel can be completed in
three years.

The bablt of eating Bait fish for dinner at least
once a week was universal here for more than a
century, until the great iutlux of wealth in the
heyday of our foreign commerce broke over a
custom which had its origin partly in economy
and partly in the patriotic principle of giving
every encouragement in a business on which our
support as a fit-hing town depended. Saturday
wus selected by our worthy great-grandfathers
as salt fish dav, as a protest against "the error
of Popery," which prescribes fish or other light
diet ou Friday. The gentry of the ante-revolutionary
period, the Lyndcs and Olivers and
Browues, etc., had a social club, the members of
w hich met w eekly at each other's houses. The
regulation dinner was salt fish and apple pie.
This plain fare, perhaps moistened with good
wine procured in exchange for our fish fnorn
Lisbon, Cadi. Bilboa, Madeira, etc. or with
stronger liquors from the West India Islands,
wus good enough to bring together tho culti
vated, refined, and high-bred people of that day.

Captain James Johnson, of tho sloop Susan
Brewer, which arrived at Skldmore s wharf a
day or two since, brought with him a portion of
an' unknown seal animal, which ho caught in
a seine while lishinir oft Smith's Island, near
Cano Charles. The fish, when hauled ashore,
attracted the attention of every one in that
neighborhood, and was pronounced bythe
most ancient and experienced "sou-goers" to
be unlike unything ot llio "ocean deep" they
bad ever seen. In sliano it resembled tho butter-
lly, with ponderous wings, shaped like tho
human hand; a head formed like a bulldog's;
tongue as hard as ivory, aud Instead of teeth
two rows of solid ivorv. Its measure
ment, from tin to tin. was twenty foot, with a
tail six feet loner, about tho si.o of a telegraph
wire, and resembling a black leather whip lush
weii'liinc over ono thousand rounds. It was
white on the bellv. but spotted all over tho back
with round white and black marks, about the
size of a five rent tilp.nn. vrv much In appear
ance like ladies' mourning muslin, which, ii Is
said, mado it a beautiful sight while in tho clear
sea water. As stated above, every ono who has
seen this fish pronounces it a nondescript, and
the only conjecture which has been made Is thii
it must lie uio aevii-iisii, about tho existent
ot which mucii nas been said, though no
one in these parts has ever Been ouo, unless 1

The condition of the weather and the absence of
many of our leading business men from the city
combine to give a dull appearance to things gene
rally, auu tne Money market snares in the general
feature. Tho applications for loans were unusually
light, and, with moderate supplies, there is an easy
feeling in the market. Rates, however, continue
firm, notwithstanding the increasing ease In money,
and this tends to limit the transactions to absolute
wants. Among the brokers money moves freelv,
and In them the banks have good customers for all
they can supply at present rates.
W'e quote call louns on Government securities at
67 per cent., chiefly the latter, aud discounts for
good marketable business paper at 810 per cent.
There is little activity in gold to-day, but the
market Is very strong at 136 V, with little variation. .
In Government bonds we hear of limited sales
only, but prices are generally steady.
A rumor has been for some days current on the
streets to the effect that tho Pennsylvania Railroad
has secured sufficient of the Reading Railroad stock
to enable It to control tho market, but we fall to
trace the rumor to any reliable source. In faot, the
shares fell off to-day, and this report must have origi
nated with the bulls.
The Stock market was sluggish, and prices hod a
downward tendency. State loaus were neglected.
City sixes were steaoy at looi for the new Issues,
and 96 for the old. Lehigh gold loan sold at 96.
Reading Railroad was dull at 46-56. Pennsylvania
Railroad sold at 56?., H 56 ; Lehigh Valley Railroad
at 60 tj ; and Little Schuylkill Railroad at 42; 63 V
was bid for Mitichlll Railroad ; 30 V for Catawissa
Railroad preferred ; aud 81 for Philadelphia aud Eric

Canal shares attract but litle attention. Sales of
Lehigh Navigation at S6tS36iC; 21 was offered for
Schuylkill Navigation preferred, aud 10 for Sus

NEW YORK MONEY AIAItltET.
The following extracts show tho state of the Now
York money market ou Saturday :
from the Uerald.
'The tendency of tho Money market to an easier
condition observable at the closo of business last
week under the application of the power of the law
to repress usurious rates of interest was suddenly
continued by the announcement that the Secretary
of the Treasury would lucrease his disbursements
of currency by the purchase of nine millions of
iHinds addltiouul to those for the sinking fund.
The effect was electrical noon the street, and
produced the greatest cheerfulness among those who
had begun to fear that the disorder of the money
market was only the forerunner of a commercial
panic. The rate on call ranged from Ux per cent, to
seven per cent., according to the class of collaterals.
Kveu gold Interest was exceptional. Of course these
are si ill high rates for the period the money rule
In the corresponding week of lust year being four
pea cent. but alter the extravagant and extraordi
nary figures of the recent stringency, the street Is
i Butisfled and content. The promise of an easy money
juarkut for the rvet of the summer la made lu the
condition of the banks as shown by their weekly
statement. Of course tl'c l.'gnl rates wilt not be had,
l.cn an the street be Induced to Indulge In them
again, sftcr the very proper measures taken by the
District Attorney nnd the (.'rand Jury for the repres
sion of future If 'iiot the punishment of past Infrac
tions of the law. The excitement In the government
mrrket was very treat on Monday upon this an
nouncement from Washington, and the 67 s rose
some two per cent, upon Saturday's night's prices.
Although they afterward fell off' during the week
under previous rumors and 'bearish' Influences, they
closed nearly up to the highest point. Some feeling
Is liinnifeMi (I because tlie Treasury purchases are
not extended to all the Issues, currencies anil ten
forties, as well as five-twenties. The sharp
advance In the domestto five-twenties led
to realisations upon them aud a transfer
of the Investment and speculative Interest to the
f.2's and the other rlases of bonds, which resulted In
producing more equalisation of prices. Tho reduc
tion of the natloiuildebt. and the proposed purchases
for July have not induced anv very large inquiry
abroad; but despite the stagnation of the Royal
Kxchango in the summer season and the almost
total cessation there of speculative operations, our
l'lvc-twentles lu London advanced to S2. Accord
ing to more detailed figures, the total roreipts of
the National Treasury, from excises, dining the
tiseal year ending with June 3D, lsss, wore
$191, 180,604. The receipts rrom tho same source
during the IIbciiI year ending with June 30, 1H60,
were !5s,2s7,177. Tim customs ylel led, same
time about fls2,nnn,niK) in gold. The mlsceiianooiia
revenue of the fiscal year yielded about 1.10,000,00'),
miikii g a grand total Income for the vear ending
June 3D, fi!, of about :t70,ooo,no(i. The receipts
from excises up to last week for the current, fiscal
year, commencing" with July 1, 1809, have been about
t M,000,(ioo. The gold market opened with great
firmness, In consequence of the strength of foreign
exchange, rates for which advanced to U0' and
110Jr, respectively, for sixty day sight sterling
bills, and In answer tn tho reports of larire engage
ments of specie for foreign shipment. The amount
sent during the week wus nearly two millions. A
'bull' movement seems to have been founded upon
the expectation that the shipments for the rest of
the summer will be In rs great If not a greater pro
portion, and. iib usual In the outset of such an un
dertaking the speculators ran the price down
by reports that the Government, reserving, as
It did, the right to reject all proposals for the Bale
of bonds, would not accept any at the unrea
sonable advance In prices, while the lowering or
the rate of discount by the Bank of Kngland to three
per cent also assisted their plans. The result wa a
decline to 136if, and a subsequent rtactlon to 136,
the price closing at 135 V on Saturday night. The '
difference of only a half per cent, between 'long"
and "short" sterling, or the apparent advance In tlio
price of tho former, is due to tho reduction of the
Lnglish discount rate. "
