KEVEXUE AFFAIKS. Important Circulars IsHued by CominlNxioner Deluuo. Wasuington, August 27. Tho following Circular has heen sent to all collectors of in ternal revenue in the United States by Com missioner Delano: Sir: You will immediately notify any gaugor in your district that, until otherwise in etructed, he will secure every stamp attached to any cask or package of spirits by nailing tho same with not less than five tacks, one in the centre and one on each corner of tho Btamp. Tho tacks to be used must not be less than tfix ounce in size, with largo head, aud tuuDt tO fiucurdy driven, 1 practicable tg procure them, gangers should nso eight ounce galvanized carpet tacks. The use of tacks will In no manner dispenso with any other requirement by prior regulations. It is learned that Treasurer Spinner is not disposed toward making any change in tho locks now in use to secure tho gold and cur rency in tho Treasury vaults. Those in use at present are considered amply safe to resist any burglarious operations that may be at tempted. The following letter from Commissioner Delano to Supervisor Perry, of South Caro lina, hhows what the Department considers proper ground for the seizure and detention of goods for alleged neglect or failure to comply with the revenue laws: Trkasi hy Pkpaiitmknt, Orm k Ixtkrnal Kf.vk.nik, Washington, August 27, lSii'.l. Sir: I have received your letter inclosing a copy of a letter received by you from Collector Donaldson, of tho First district of South Caro linn, relative to the detention by him of forty boxes of tobacco, for some informality in the marks required to be printed or branded upon the boxes. Also, a copy of your letter of in struction to him. You express the hope that your instructions to Mr. Donnldson, or, as you term them, "suggestions," may be ap proved. In reply I have to say that, while I deem it important that every box of tobacco, in addition to the stamp indicating payment ol the tax, should have all the brands and the marks which the law requires, in tho precise manner prescribed in the law, printed, marked or pasted thereon, that all tho facts and infor mation deemed by Congress requisite for com plete identification should be upon every box or other parkaj-e. I do not regard it as good ground lor seizure v here only slight irregu larities are discovered. If a genuine stamp is fixed and cancelled, as prescribed by the regu lations of this ollice, and if the box or package is such as the law prescribes, and all the ma terial facts required by sections sixty-two or sixty-eight are printed or marked upon the box or package, the goods should bo detained no longer than is necessary to obtain satisfactory explanation for any informality, and to satisfy the otlicer that no fraud had been committed or intended. I should, however, advise the detention of all goods for an explanation, which are not packed, stamped, cancelled, marked, branded and labeled, in strict con formity with the law and the regulations of this ollice made in pursuance with law.

How I lie 4rent Content win T.oh( lo IIrvurdn The I .end lliey Could nut Mulnlaln Tho Ox ford l'rolit by I.ocnl Knnwlede. London, August 27. Tho excitement to day over the great international boat race has been intense. Tho banks of tho Thames have been lined witli spectators since an early hour this morning. Tho city has been almost de serted and business quite neglected. Vehicles of all descriptions, bearing the Harvard and Oxford colors, and heavily laden with people, crowded all the roads leading to tho course, and during the entire day tho roads in the vicinity of Putney and Hammersmith, Cliis wick, Uarnes, Mortlake, &.C., were thronged with pedestrians. The railway companies found themselves unablo to provide cars suffi cient to carry the vast numbers in waiting at the depots. It is no exaggeration to state that probably a million people witnessed tho race. Tho Harvard crew won the toss for position, and chose tho Middlesex side (the outside of tho semicircle. Doth boats started at 5 o'clock 14 minutes 10 seconds. Tho tide at tho stait was sluggish, and a light southwest breeze prevailed, with smooth water. Tho Harvards were tho first to catch tho water, and took tho lead, gaining rapidly on thoir oppo nents, and making forty-five strokes per minute against the Oxfords' forty. At Bishop's creek, three furlongs from tho start, the Har vards led half a length. Gaining headway they increased their lead as they passed tho Willows. Thoir pace was subsequently slack ened, and the Oxfords pulled up, but the Har vards were still three-quarters of a length ahead at Craven point, three-quarters of a mile from the start.. The Oxfords now went, on with a steady drag, but the Americans rapidly increased their lead, and at Crab Tree, a mile and an eighth &oia tho aoueduct, were a couple of lengths ahead. Beyond this point the Har- varus were lanen wme.ana the Uxfords quick ening their speed, reduced the gap at the Boap-worKB, a miie anu a nan lrom tho start, to half a length. Tho Harvards now pulled up with a maenificent hurst to 1 Infill intromit h lridfre, a mile and three quarters, but in shoot- ing ine nrmge lost tno ciistane.o they had gained. Opposite the middle mall the Oxfords spurted and came up gradually to the Har vards, but w hen opposite tho Downs the boats were found to be too close together, and the Harvards gave way; and at Chiswick Ait, two and a hnlf miles, the boats were level. Alter proceeding fifty yards further the Ox fords began to gain, though temporarily, and the Harvards again got even with tiiem. Tho Oxfords gained rapidly at Chiswick, where it became char that the pace apparently told on the Harvards, who were rather wild at this part of the race. From this point the Ox fords rapidly drew ahead, and in a few strokes obtained a lead of two lengths. The Har vards, rowing pluckiiy, held them there for a half mile, when they fell astern, and Oxford, at thirty-eight strokes per minute, shot Karnes bridge three and five-eighths miles three lengths ahead. Along Barnes Reach the Harvards refreshed their stroke, Mr. Loring, with river water, thereby retarding their boat. The Americans then tried to spurt, but found the effort incllcctual, and the Oxfords, getting more of a lead, eventually won the race by four lengths, easing up in the last few strokes and pulling up fresh. Tho Oxterds arrived at tho ship at ft o'clock .".G minutes and 47 seconds, making the 4 miles in '22 minutes 40 seconds. Tho Ameri cans were well received at the finish, and re turning, landed at Barnes. The race was a good one, and excited a degree of enthusiasm along the banks of the river utterly unknown in former races. London, August 127. Tho Times, in an ar ticle on the Erie Railroad scandals, says: "We need not point out the darkest sides of tho story the prostitution of justice and the utter contempt for its administration. It is plain that it would bo impossible if the violators had not good reason to believe, from past ex perience, that tho Legislature is as amenable to corrupt influences as the judiciary. These facts are well known in tho States. We are not without hope that the consciousness of existing evils will lead to the only way of cor recting them." London, August 27 The mail steamer from Rio Janeiro has arrived. She brought as passengers the Duke of Saxe and his wife and Princess Leopoldine and family. Tho latest advices from the seat of war in Paraguay show that a battle was imminent. Tho land and naval forces of the Allies were in motion. Olli cial dispatches received at the Brazilian War Department announce that General Portinho had commenced to march on Villa Rica, and tho Brazilian iron-clad lleet was steaming up tho Tebicnary to support tho army and assist in tho attack on Villa Rica. London, August 27. News has heen re ceived from Tripoli that Miss Tinne and two attendants were murdered by their camel drivers while travelling on the Abirgoush road, between Mur.uk and (J hat. Paris, August 27 Tho ollicial journals de nounce as falsehoods the reports that tho health of the Emperor is worse; on tho con trary, it is much improved, though not com pletely restored. The Empress embarked at Toulon to-day for the east. General Prim has arrived in Paris. Lishon, August 27. Tho session of tho Portuguese Cortes closed yesterday. The King, in a speech from the throne, assured the members that the government was making every effort to restore a financial equilibrium and revive the public credit. Tho ministers would consider how to augment the revenues from imports and diminish the expenditures of the administration. Ho concluded with the declaration that the independence of Por tugal would be sedulously preserved. Lisno.v, August 27. Advices from Para guayan sources contradict the ollicial reports received from Rio Janeiro. The Paraguayans assert that tho allied forces are not strong enough to attack the position of Lopez in tho Cordilleras, and that they have remained in a state of complete inaction since they ap peared in front. Rumors were current in Paraguay that a re volution was imminent in the Argentine pro vinces against the policy of President Sarmi ento, who is accused of sacrificing tho republic to Brazil. Antwerp, August 22. Henry Leys, tho artist, is dead. The daisy (Margarita) is the emblem of the Spauish Carhsts, in allusion to the name of the wife of "the Pretender." T1! kalian soldier, on account of the late liberality of the Government, now receives more than ten dollars a year cash. A Paiiiurd who has won .'500,000 francs at Spa, is kept in solitary confinement by his wife, to prevent him lrom gambling it away again. An English journal announces that the date of a Roman tomb In Birchen lane may easily bo deciphered as B. C. 407. Prophetic Romans ! tor seventy-five years the temperature of the vaults of tho Paris Observatory, ninetv-ono feet under ground, has varied less than half a degree.
