The Ilnrviiril I'rrw. The Mar of August 2 says:Tlie Harvard crew were out at 11 on the morning of July 31, mid rowed ns fur as Hammersmith Bridge, npinst the half ebl, led bv Kelley. Since the alterations of yesterday thev row better, hut still ct their oars in too deep, and the stroke oar wits too low in the bout. The Telegraph of August a savs: On Satur day morning the Harvard lour 'took a pull to Hammersmith and back aua'm. In the afternoon they went to Staines regatta, where they were regarded as the lions of the day. Mr. Simmons, the stroke, who is a nephew of Mr. Stunner, was introduced to the master at F.ton, who. while the Oxford crew were training there, was their principal advisor and mentor. The Daily Xeit of August 2 says: As regards their style of rowing here is no'perceptible im provement or change in tho American cham pions. They pull well to-relhcr. and their regu larity of stroke speaks of lotig and frequent practice as a crew, but their stroke appears somewhat short, and the din of the oars too deep for great speed. They have, however, a good three weeks before them in which to over come all defects, if there he any. Land and W'atrr of .Inly savs: The Ameri can boat is quite seven "feet longer than our usual run of boats, and though built with ex treme nicety as a piece of cabinet work, she car ries wood in the bows and stem where canvas might reasonably be used, and rides high out of water on a sloping keel in front, so that, with a side wind she would offer much resistance, and require a continual use of the rudder. The rig gers have a wide span, and the oars nre short inboard and heavy out. making the men dig. The style of rowing is deficient in any mark, the catch of the water is slow, and the recovery sluggish. The men themselves seem lusty, and sit up well, with straight backs andj a fair reach forward; hut the lift together and power in unison have yet to he learned. The Daily A'ews of August 3 savs: The ina daptability of their own long cedar boat to Thames work could scarcely be more thoroughly proved than by the easier style and the improve'd pace they made in the London four. They were evidently quite delighted with the change 'them selves, and went far to prove, in this their first trial with it, that the defects which h.-.ve been urged against them are due much more to their craft than to any inherent weakness or want of experience in themselves. Once or twice they attained a very decided racing speed, which, if maintained for any length of time, must verify our first impressions of their capabilities, and place a very hard task before their competitors. Hiiro, Koclicfoi-l, ami I'avro, Ermn the London Xeirs. If any one wishes to understand how parties are disorganized In France, and especially how difficult seems to be the task of organizing the various divisions of what is in the French Legis lative body called the Left, let him look for a moment at the controversy which is now raging about M. Jules Favre. A letter written by no less man than M. Victor Hugo, to his "son Charles, has just been published, in which the illustrious exile reproaches the great orator for having hindered the election of M. Henri Roche fort by placing himself in his way. Kochefort, be it remembered, is treated by Victor Hugo as his own son he calls him his third son. And in this letter M. Hugo says of the claims of the two Favre and Kochefort, the orator and the pamphleteer "Were one a Mirabeau, one lias noj the right to silence a Beaumarchais." Un doubtedly M. Henri Kochefort would be useful to his party by hisjdash and intrepidity; but, on the other hand, we are not able to join in the charge which he and his friends bring against 3d. Jules Favre of want of activity. M. Favre has some right to appeal to his "antecedents. Even when publishing the letter written by M. Victor Hugo on this subject, the Dap pel is obliged to refer to them. So one was, in fact, bolder in his opposition to the coup d'etat than M. Favre. He, with M. Hugo, was a member of the committee of resistance, and braved imprisonment and death in his efforts to oppose the dictatorship of Louis Napoleon, until all hope of success was lost. On the lltli of De cember, nine days after the blow was struck, all hope seemed lost. Then M. Hugo and others withdrew into exile. We do not blame them, but we owe some admiration also to M. Jules Favre, who remained at ids post and who never despaired. After this, it is hard that he should be accused of want of energy because he is not willing to cast prudence to the winds and go all the length of M. Henri Kochefort. At the last elections M. Favre cried passionately, ''The man of action and of combat I amand I prove it. Ou the 2d of December I was a member of the committee of resistance to the roup d'etat. But now the son of M. Victor Hugo replies: "The man of action and combat Jules Favre was. Ho is so no longer." This is how the radicals, who polled a majority of votes in Paris at the late elections, speak of the most determined orator of the Opposition in the late Parliament. Yet the speeches of M. Favre are still energetic in opposition to the Empire, He has made no marked change in his opinions. The disaffection of the extreme radicals to the leadership of such a man is not to us an encouraging sign. It shows in the Left a lack of that spirit of Internal com promise which parly discipline is impossible, and party itself a mere rope of sand. Nnpolenn' t'liuuttt of Policy. The Paris correspondent of the Loudon 'Times writes: It is now felt that we are going through a peaceful but effective revolution, and that the imperial system is decidedly vanishing away from the eyes of men. The true question, anxiously debated everywhere, and which is present in every good citizen's mind, is whether it be possible for the same sovereign to go through this great change and to appear, after so many years of uncontrolled power, in the new li"ht of a Constitutional King Louis XVI failed to do it, and. to be sure, it would have been better if the reign of tliut unfortunate heir of so many misdeeds could have lasted its natu ral time, and bridged over the abyss which sepa rates old France from the new. Napoleon 1 failed, also, in his work of transformation, and las Ad ditional Act was brought to au untimely end by his complete defeat before the trial could be fairly made whether France would accept or not its despotic ruler In the character of the inoffen sive guardian of public freedom. This time we have the comfortable assurance, at least, that the trial will not be disturbed by external trou bles and the experiment will be made as fairly as is permitted by the uncertainty of humau events The dilllculties of this wholesome work ire greater than one who is not fully ac quainted with our national prejudices and "bits of mind could believe. Reasonable men rp rcadv to accept, and even to assist, if they can in tL transforniation of the empire into a Lberal Government; but many frenchmen and not only leaders of parties, but large masses of our working population-consider tM imminent change only as a lavorable occa sion to sun.rse and overpower their foe: and U,ev now look on the Empire , turnln? towards Dy. .

Jock and elect four "irreeoneilables" moredfler?if ssmle.'and more useful than its Horror- of the Cracow Convent. . V, in a twiner which appears iU Cracow, publishes in a special edition a story which may well be in connection with the whole mystery. It is as follows: In the month of April, is-18, a patrol of the National Guard re marked, about 1 o'clock in the morning, a travel ling carriage before the entrance door of the Carmelite nunnery. Curiosity and suspicion in duced the voting men on guard to stop the car riage, which was just starting. Twoof them went to the carriage door, and saw in the carriage two men, one of whom held on his knees a woman in a nun's dress, and having a nightcap ou her head. While the National Guards asked ques tions of the men in the carriage, the woman jumped out and ran !uto the courtyard of the convent. One of the guardsmen ran after her, and. In spite of her entreaties, would not let her go. The Hoise in the midst of the night awoke, the nuns and servants of the convent. When the nun remarked this she cried out, "1 amlo-t," and fainted. What happened to her nfterw.irs is unknown. The patrol arrested the two men and led them towards the town, but moved by their entreaties, and seeing in the whole matter but a love adventure, the patrol, cfnisi.-t-ing of students of the University, let them go. The Cracow paper now thinks that there may be some connection between this adventure, which happened in the year 1IS, and the mys tery lately discovered, and that by looking over t!-.e lists of the National Guard then existing and tracing thoe who were on duty, the connection between the two might bc-lc -tablished. The O.as of Cracow announces the sudden death of the confessor of the Carmelite nunnery, the principal witness in the affair of Harbara Ubryk, by whom indirectly the harbar,,:s im prisonment of tin! nun was rcveaVjd. This man. who is called Father l.uwkowiez. lately visited the parish priest of Tr.chinia in a slate of in toxication and betrayed the secret. The priest, who is a very worthy man. made it immediately known to a cousin of his own in Cracow, and the latter wrote the anonymous letter to the Minister of Justice. The excitement of the people is still so great that the authorities have found it neces sary to protect all the convents of the town by giving each of them a military guard. The lady superior has been arrested, as well as her prede cessor, who was living in another convent. CUBA AM) SPAIN. The Simnisli 2unliont. Of the twelve gunboats lying at Delainater's shipyard, eight have received their machinery. One is being pushed forward very rapidly as a model for the rest, and this will be ready for sea within fourteen days. It is a tidy-looking craft with a shining black smoke-stack, short raking masts, and lies very low. It has accommodation forward for fifteen or twenty men. and aft for nine or ten. The sides are about eleven inches thick, ol white oak plank. The vessels are visited nearly every day by two ollieers of the Spanish navy; one of them said to he an Admiral. Cu bans also lounge around the docks of an evening, much to the discomfort of the watchmen, who are afraid that some daring incendiary may set fire to the vessels. A tugboat lies near with steam up ready to tow them in the stream in case of any accident by fire occurring. The boats receive occasional visits from the U. S. Navy authorities, who take note of the progress made. Of the 15 gunboats at Mystic, six are launched, and all will be ready in three or four weeks to receive their machinery, when they will be towed to Dclamater's shipyard One (if those at Poillon's, Brooklyn, will be launched about Wednesday, and the other two about the end of the week. Delamater says he feels no anxiety as to the fate of the vessels. He spares no expense in their construction, and the work goes on rapidly. N. V. Tribune of thin morn ing. What the Cubans Frnr. The correspondent of the Cuban Junta in Havana, under date, of the 0th, informs them that the seizure of the Spanish gunboats by our Government created a great sensation in that city. From the day of the seizure until the 7th instant, General De Kodas kept the news sup pressed. It was currently rumored that the Captain-General had sent the Spanish iron-clad Victoria after the two Peruvian iron-cleds, with instructions to capture or sink them wherever found. The Cubans in Havana say that if the United States will detain the gunboats sixty days, that every port in Cuba except Havana will be in their possession. It is expected that to-day there will be a simultaneous attack made by the Cubans on Gibara, Puerto Principe, and Trini dad. To-day is the eighteenth anniversary of the barbarous crime committed by Captain General Jose de la Concha, of executing fifty one citizens of the United States, followers of Narciso Lopez. His crime consisted hi murder ing them on that Kith day of August, 1851, after he gave his word of honor to save their lives if they would surrender themselves. The Junta has received news by Key West that the steamers belonging to the slave traders, Zu lueta, Duranona, and Ibanez, had landed 3000 negroes at Cochina bay, jurisdiction of Zopata, district of Cieuluegos. These old slave-traders arc at present colonels commanding regiments of Spanish volunteers. The Junta received the same news by their last mail. It appears daily more clear that both Cubans and Spaniards acknowledge that, under the pre sent revolutionary situation in Spain, the fate of Cuba is brought down to a question of the detention or release of the thirty-one gun boats now being finished on our docks for the Spanish Government. Cubans acknowledge that while they are still inadequately supplied with arms and munitions, and without a seaport, if those thirty-one gunboats are released, armed, and stationed around the island, that nearly all hope of receiving new supplies of arms must be surrendered, and the rebellion, at present so promising ol early success, must necessarily tall into the hands of their odious and revengeful enemies. Escape from the island with those thirty-one vessels on guard would be difficult. The Spanish Minister, Mr. Roberts, said on Saturday, in Washington, that De Kodas has been authorized by Serrano by telegraph to offer, it his discretion, autouomta to the revolutionists. ;oxe !

He travelled all over the Union organizing Fe nian circles, and finally proved his earnestness by joiuing au expedition to Ireland. He was taken prisoner by the British Government, and suffered an imprisonment of over two years. Captain Nagle was a War Democrat, and held a clerkship in the Tax Olllce at the time of his death.

The first examination made by Mr. Hines was hastily done, not occupying half the time consumed in the last. His return was that everything was all right. How the de ficiency could have been supplied for that time is a mystery. The last examination, which is just, completed, shows a deficiency of over : 15.0(10. The work was very thorough, as three imminent bankers as well as other responsible gentlemen were occupied in it. It has been claimed by some of Headly's bondsmen that the deficiency will amount to but $10,000 after his claims are deducted. This is only a supposition. More t'oiiKrfHMinrn OH for JSaii Francisco.

The Pnrt v to Survey the New Route Ketiirnliiif. from the Miiimapulii Minn.) Tribune, Atjvnt 11. Last evening our people were taken by sur prise by the return ot the Northern Pacific Rail road exploring party from the Missouri river, consisting of 1. W. Holmes, agent of Jay Cooke A: Co., New York; Mr. A. W. Bayless, New York; Governor William It. Marshall, St. Paul; George A. Brackett, Minneapolis; and Pierre Bottineau, guide. The party left Minneapolis on the 0th of July, proceeding by rail to St. Cloud, thence by teams to Georgetown on the Red river of the North, when the party was divided, Governor Smith and his party returning to Minneapolis, and Mr. Holmes and his party proceeding on across the country to the Missouri river. They left George town on the 22tl of July, pushing on across the country under the guidance of the celebrated Pierre Bottineau, via Fort Totten, and keeping above the trail of General Sibley's expedition, and reaching Fort Stevenson, on the Missouri river, at eleven o'clock ou the morning of the :j0th. At 11 o'clock on the morning of the 31st they started on their return, and made Fort Totten, a distance of 140 miles, in two days and a half, and from Fort Totten to Abcrcroiuble, a dis tance of 105 miles, they made in four day, and from Abercrombie to Minneapolis, by stages and cars, they came through in three days, makiii" the actual time consumed in travelling from the Missouri river to Minneapolis nine days and a half, which is without doubt the (juickest trip that has ever been made. Mr. Holmes and party express themselves as being greatly pleased with much of the country along the route, and are prepared to go back to the East with a favorable report of the prospects of the great Northern Pacific road. The couu try is undoubtedly much better and far more feasible for a great railroad across the continent than either the Union Pacific or the Southern route, and we have every reason to expect that work upon the road will commence at an early day, aud that within three years wo can go from Minneapolis to the Pacific coast by the Northern Pacific road. "Westward the star of empire takes its way." POLITICAL. A Comment on Pendleton' Nomination. Fri.m the Cincinnati Commercial, Aug. 14. The acceptance of the Democratic nomination for Governor was a matter of life or death to George II. Pendleton. He would have been as dead as a salt mackerel if he had not accepted. lie could not afford to regard his broken ankle or his personal comfort. It he proposed to be, in the politicians sense, alive man. mere is another man who has a solemn hour at hand in which to choose his destiny. We relcr to Mr. Vallandigham. If he remains In his wigwam during this campaign he will be, on the second Tuesday of October, no matter how the votes may count out, a scalped savage, lie has lor a long time been accused bv the stauncliest Democrats of the State of cussedness and selfish ness. He announced some time ngo that he would not speak during this campaign, but he must reconsider that conclusion, and reach another determination now. If he attends to his private business, ho will be called a sore head. If he refuses to speak for Pendleton, lie will be denounced as having a mean personal spite toward Ohio's favorite son. lie must be come reconciled with Pendleton. In one sense, that is not a hard task. There arc few men with whom ltis more agreeable to become re conciled than it Is with Mr. Pendleton, lie would, we are sure, receive Yal. with courtesy and kindness, and creature comforts. Though all this might be as honey in the mouth of Val., it would be bitter in the belly, no doubt: but he must take his medicine like a man. The nil may be coated with elaborate sugar, but It must go down or there will be no health in the patient. Democratic Military l.atv. I'rmii the Boston Traimeript, A ug. 14. The Republican party has been severely criti cized and condemned "for maintaining martial law in the South at the time of its greatest dis turbance since the war, when outrages and mur ders were constantly occurring. Horatio Sey mour and John T. 1 loll man were among the fiercest declainiers against Republican usurpa tion in this regard. 'Yet at the first indications of trouWlc between the employes of two rail roads Governor Hoffman threatrens to put the whole district where the disturbance occurs under martial law. As the Albany Keening Journal well remarks: 'He has done precisely what General Sickles did in the ease of the South Carolina railroads greatly to the chagrin of certain Democratic au thorities. And he has taken this step notwith standing the State was at peace, ami there was no pretense of armed resistance to the Federal authorities." The haste with which Governor Hoffman rushed to take possession of the Susquehanna Railroad has led to the surmise that the whole affair from the start was a "put-up" thing, to raise the wind in some way for certain Tam many chiefs. Office of the Kvevino Tft.f.oraph,) Alunduv, August l'i, 1P. i The demand for money this morning is rather in excess of the supply, and the lack of available funds at the banks checked the accustomed discounting operations aud increased considerably the pressure on the street. There is a good deal of money In requisition at the present time to move the crops, the cotlv expe rience of last yearliavliig taught them the folly of withholding supplies in the hope of gaining higher prices. This year the opposite feeling exists among the farmers, and they are anxious to realize without delay. This promises to act as a great stimulant to domestic and foreign trade, aud will no doubt, as the season advaiiKCS, give unusual activity to the money market. The rates for currency are very firm at 6 per cent, on choicest collaterals, and discounts cannot, be quoted at less than 8 per cent, on llrst-class commer cial paper. tiold Is again weak. The opening price was 134',', and before noon at declined to 133 and weak at that figure. Government bonds sympathized with coin, and fell heavily again In the course of the morning.

"It will be seen that the chances of au active money market for the closing mouths of the year are of Biililcient weight to call fur the exercise of careful judgment on the part of all who are callel upon to enter into time engagements of any sort, and de manding as a sound business precaution conservative practice among dealers generally. The relation which the Secretary of the Treasury, in the administration of the financial department of the Government, holds to the money market has ben always close and intimate. In the time of Mr. McCnlloch this relation was regarded with suspicion and distrust. In Mr. Iloutwell's case it excites much doubt. The policy which the latter has thus far pursued, no matter what its merits, shows him disposed to use his position for the correction of evils in the mone tary situation. That he has acted thus far in good faith is not doubted: but the question arises how far is he prepared to go in the future In this effort to preserve the balance of exchanges, and to whatjextent can he be calculated upon as an element of disturbance, whether for good or ill, in the ordinary course of business? In other words, how much gold does he intend to sell, and what amount of bonds will he buy? If money is tight hero next month or the month after, will he Increase his bond purchases, or has he resolved to stop them, and if so, what relief is ho prepared to give to tlie money niarket.or will he give un.y? If he hadiiot commenced his gold sales und bond purchases for the declared purpose, hi the llrst place, of defeat ing tho clique who were operating to advance the premium, aud, In the other case, relieving the exist ing stringency in tho money market, these questions would not arise; but, having shown that ho was in favor of such Interference, it becomes a necessary consideration for all interested in the several mar kets in Wall street, how far he will go In that direc tion. His reticence on the subject does not meet with approval. It has been demonstrated that there are parties who obtain a knowledgo of his liiU-iitigus iu tUue to operate upon the lufoniituioii, and there Is, therefore, a very general desire that ho should free himself from tho discredit of being thus made a tool of, as well as furnish the opportunity for men of enterprise to act understanding In making engagements for tho future by announcing his policy for a reasonable period ahead, and espe cially so at this time, when it Is all Important that a clear comprehension should bo had of the contin gencies of the next few months. Money closed on Saturday night at six and seven per cent. "The gold market during the week has been suc cessfully hammered by tne 'bears,' who have sold the market, frcclv. The llrst downward turn was given It on Monday, upon rumors of large purchases of produce on foreign account.
