From these we take the following extracts: The .New York I'ohl l'a Ic. The London Times of the loth of October, iu its city article, says: 'J he Frankfort advice state that the Bourse has tieeu dull for the hint fortnight, and that the transactions have been below the average eveu of the dead season of .the year. It ap pears that the operators have been equally dis pleased with the occurrences at Vicuna and New York, and arc disinclined to run any risks in connection with them At Vienna the crisis is prolonged by a resort to palliatives and a want of courage to adopt the only possible remedy, namely, iv winding up of such bauks and industrial concerns as are inherently un bound, and from which all confidence is with drawn. "As long ns numerous calls arc hang ing over the Bourse, to which the shareholders are unable or unwilling to respond, any perma nent Improvement of tone is ouiof the question." The gold gambling iu New York has produced an uneay feeling with regard to all financial affairs in America, and has caused the business in United States bonds to be much restricted. It Is ntnted to be a matter of universal surprise that Mr. Boutwell should think such a moment op portune to meditate a reduction of the interest of the debt by free conversion. "Everybody would accept his otter of reimbursement and re turn to the old investments in South German stock, now at l'!25j'!') for the four-and-a-half per cents., which were at 104(Vwl0o when American bonds were first introduced into this country." The debts of these South German States in most cases scarcely exceed the capital tlicy have in vested in remunerative railways, for the con struction of which they have been issued. As long as gold is not the standard currency of the United States, any attempt to reduce the interest of the bonds will, it is alllrmed, result in fail ure, as they are only held iu such large quanti ties for their superior interest. The I'all Matt Gazette, of the 10th of October, says: The late drama iu Wall street suggests a num ber of ennobling images gorged vultures whet ting their cruel beaks for internecine battle; troops of rival Indian braves on the war-path levelling their lances at each other's breasts, their spoils to be the prize of the winner; ban dits in the Mexican sierras quitting the cards and the national ?oro for their knives. No niau, perhaps, has made a greater name of late iu the country of "remarkable men" than Mr. James Fisk, Jr. Possibly the local press of New York have by this tjinc traced their hero's antecedents back to lii8 cradle; his nurse, if he had one, or if she still survives, has doubtless been freely interviewed." It Is to her speculators that America owes her growing greatness; it is better for the promise of her future that they should err on the side of rashness, and patriotic units should be proud to be ruined for the general good. Still, eveu in the holiest of wars we may spare a tear to the dead and wounded that strew the battle-field. There is a good deal of private inconvenience repre sented by government securities iluctuatlng six per cent., while railway stocks sink by thirty, and miscellaneous scrip sells for waste paper. The victims may have found it tempo rarily soothing, the spectacle of some of Mr. Fisk s agents suspending themselves and others suspending payment. 8ii('CCBMlon In the French Throne. The journal J'aris of October ", in its politi ml column, reproduces the terms of a conversa tion which, it says, took place in 1807, at the lime of the Exhibition, between the Emperor of the French and "the head of a United States lumily with whom Louis Napoleon has remained, ever since his residence in America, on terms o. affectionate- iutiuiaey: It was, sav3 that lournal. shortly after an Illness el the Prince Imperial. Feurs hid been entertained tliat his life was in (lunger, ami the Kinperor, who i (lores hfs sou, was still haunted by the phantom i f the child's malady. "If 1 had the misfortune,'' said his Majesty, "to lose him, and if I had been convinced of the Impossibility of having auotlie direct heir, I should certainly have put into execu tion an extraordinary project. 1 should have given France the privelcges, liberties, and institution of a republic; i should have decided to become tlio llrst citizen of my country, alter having restored to it all tha tins necesHities of policy have compelled nie to deprive it of for a time; iu a word. I slnuhl have rendered impossible, after me, any other form of government than the republican, the only one which, wisely understood and applied by an ener getic power, suits the temperament of the French people, liut that dream must be renounced, a a father has no right to destroy his son's prospects.

Victor Hugo has been addressed to M. Joudau, of the tfiecte: "Urcsski.s, Oct. 12, lsG'J My Dear Friend and Former Colleague: I receive the Steele. 1 read your article, winch touches me, hoaori me, and sur prises me.

Iu the second place, I have not recom mended, and do not recommend, uuv manifestation forthe6th of October. 1 have fully approved of the Kappel when It, called upon the members of Left for a manifestation iu which the people of Paris could take part a demonstration essentially pacific and without arms, like the demon strations of the people of London in such a case, like the demonstration of 1'2ii,0h I'eniaus at Dublin a few days ago that is what the Uappel wanted. But as the Left held aloof, the people must hold alool too. The people haven't a standpoint to go to worK. Therefore, no manifestation. Hljrht is on the people's side; violence on the Government's Hide. Let us give no pretext to the Government to use, violence against right On the 2(itM of October, no one must go down into the streets.

I'm ire (.Oct 13) Correspondence of London Tclryraplt. ' The departure of the Empress of the Freach took p'aee yesterday. The crowd cheered. The Empress ood on deck waving her handkerchief, and bidding farewell in the kindest manner to the inhabitants of Venice. Among those who had the honor of an Interview with the. Empress on board the yacht were the Prefect, the Syndic, the General of the fortress, the Admiral, and a number of other otileials. Toe Hyndlc, who hud been decorated by the Em press the day before the Grand Cross of the Legion I Honor having been seut by the Emperor was there partly in an official capacity, as he had to undertake eoruinisbions from her Majesty, the fulfil ment of which has bcn duly recorded In tho (ianita rfi Venezia. He received 2000f. for distribution among the royal gondoliers, and 6O00f. for the "most tnerl toi lou's of those persons who had presented petitions to her," Donf. for a company of street singers who had serenaded her in a private way. wltn loo addi tional francs for the directors, and a very ban Is me gold locket, ornamented with pearls and diamonds, lor Mad He Kosetti. a young lady who sang in the sercnaders In company with the Signorl Hassan!, bass and tenor singers, who also received presents. The papers speak of Mad'll Kosetti as being an English girl, and since her real name is no secret and has not been considered so by the manager of the the atre whero she sang a few nights ago in the opera of the Hallo in Manrhera, it may bo mentioned without scruple. He It known, therefore, that Mad'He Kos si tti and Miss Hrennan are one and the same person. The latter, when pointed out to the Empress, at tracted attention by her great beautythe young lady being in a gondola. TheHue Cnnnl nnd Trade Itesfiilatlon. Tho Vienna correspondent of the Kattern Ihulget, writing on the 9th of October, says: The Government has requested tho most eminent sclentilic. and commercial men in the empire to enter on a thorough investigation of the new condi tions of tratllc, etc., which will be ('rented by the opening of the Suez Canal. The best naval authori ties here declare that the dllllculty of navigating the lied Sea in sailing vessels Is not nein lv so great as people In other countries, und especially in England, commonly suppose. Vice-Adnilral Von Wulhrstorlt' 1'rbalr, formerly Minister of Marine, who is known as an excellent seaman nnd geographer, is of opinion that along the western co,ist of the lied sea, which is entirely free from rocks o other obstacles to navigation, there is a broad zone where, under favorable conditions of wind and tide, sailing vessels of moderate size could proceed with sulety. The Admiral 111 go to Egj pt in a few days in order to Btudy this questlou more closely ou the' spot. If his view should prove correct, the Suez Canal will become a maritime highway of the greatest value for the whole of Western Ku rupe as soon as the direct communication between North Germany and Trieste by means of the Itudolph Pallwuy is completed. The journey to the lied Sea by way of the Adriatic and the csnal would be especially adapted for sail lug vessels; und Trieste, when the works now being carried out in the harbor are finished, will not be ex ceeded by any other European seaport for security und coin fort. Arrangements are being made for bunging the railway right into the harbor, so that the merchandise, etc., passing through to or from the Fust, will be transferred at once from the rail way trucks to the ships, and vice rerun. It Is ex pected that when the harbor is ready Trieste will also become a great shipbuilding depot, being within easy reach of the celebrated foundries of iron ami llcsemer steel in htyria and Carhithla, and the vast stores of oak and other woods in the province of the military frontier. Great results are also looked for from this event in a political point of view. The Emperor of Austria will not only go to see the Sultan at Constantinople, in return for the hitter's visit to Vienna In IstIT, but will nccompany the Em press EiiRenie during the festivities in Egypt, and it is probable that, these meetings will lead io a closer understanding between France, Austria, and Tur key, in the Eastern question. An International Con gress will be held before the canal opens In order to niiiLe the necessary arrangements for preparing it for public tratllc. Kerrnt Injury to the Worlc. The Dublin Keening Muil of the 10th or October says: According to Information received by Hie Austria from Alexandria, Hie part of the Suez Canal between Suez and the Hitter Lakes was to have been so far completed by the 15th of August that the festival of Napoleon might be celebrated by letting iu the waters of tho lied Sen. The event did not realize the expectations that had been entertained. Indeed the company weru threatened with a great danger, which might have cost I hem millions, yul delayed even the rough completion of the undertaking now aimed ut for some months. The dry works, It Is true, were finished on the14lh August and the water of the Ifed Sea was let into the canal at Suez. The dam, however, which ws to regulate the (low of tho water and prevent tho curreiit be coming rapid enough to injure the tides of the canal, gave way. Fortunately tin second dyke held and was sullicient to prevent any serious damage belli? done. Still a good deal of material has been lost, The Bitter Lakes are, of course, lining more rapidly than was intended, but thee is reason to fear that the strength of the current may wash away the banks and render a great deal of deepening ucses Buiy. The Civil War in Spain. From the Kto Uv At agon (totragowu). Tho Captain-General having ordered the reorgani zation of the citizen militia, much iigitaMon was noticeable in the population, which win increased bv the entrance into the city of forty or fifty prisoners belonging to the rebel parties of I'edrola and Gal lur, in custody of the Civil Guard At hall-past 2 In the afternoon barricades were erected, and tin In surgents opened tire, which has lasted to the llrst hours of this morning, in the barrios of Sail 1'ublo, which they occupied very early in tho afternoon. The lighting bus been prolonged more in the parishes of San Miguel and La Magdaleua, In which it com menced at the same time as in San I'ublo, ami lasted all the night with great intensity up to 10 o'clock this morning, at which hour it ceased, the people, as we are told, retiring by the port near the Tower of liruil, from which point they crossed the Ebro on pontoons. We cannot to-day give more de tails, but will try to do so to-morrow. Neither can we report the casualties, which, we believe, are very many, and which we deplore, for the blood shed is Spanish blood, and the blood of Spanish Liberals. On both sides the combat has been carried on with the valor appropriate to Spaniards. At midday a battalion of Ingenioros arrived, and more forces ure expected. At 3-30 this afternoon alarm has been reproduced by some dlschargos made fro:u the high part of the Corso, but at 0, the hour at which we close this number, they have completely ceased. Tcriilic I'lsbtlnu In the .Streets of .Sur.ia jssa. Adds the same papers It was ll-llu, and not 10 o'clock In Ihe morning that the barricades raised in the Plaza de Sau Miguel, t alles del Heroismo and Cadciia, and Puerto del Duque de la Victoria were taken by the troop3, after a most protracted struggle, in which both on one side and the oilier great valor was exhibited. At 3'iiti In the afternoon the Captain-General, acconi pun'cd by some of his start' and a small escirt, passed through the Plaza do Salamera, whero some shots were fired at hiin by the people. This gave rise to a renewal of the combat for a quarter of an hour. The rest of the afternoon was passed tranquilly, and also the night. The troops of the garrison were re inforced by two battalions of Iugeuieros, one baKal llon of Ca.adores, and a squadron of cavalry. Iu the llrst hours of the morning some prisoners were taken. Those taken during the combat exceeded lis). The accounts we have heard respecting tho persons said to be at the head of the movement are so very contradictory that we decliue for to-day making any allusion to them. During the combat some palsunos from the neighboring populations made lor the city, but lorces of cavalry conveniently placed by Captain-Ueiierul Hassols uifeetually liu peded their entrance. The armv had eighteen killed and seventy-live wounded, of these, six are oiticers und two captains. Of the people, twenty two killed und nine wounded were picked up in the streets and carried to the Civil Hospital, ainongat them some women and children, innocent victims of this struggle. This is withouwaking account of the unknown numbers of deuTund wounded iu prlvata houses, inn ing yesterday ulteruoon and this morn ing the people have passed and repassed through u'.l tho capital, visiting particularly tho principal points of the struggle where Hie destruction was the greatest. The uil'uir is ended, ami the military tri bunal will begin Its labors. Cruel Act of the Inniirgent. The New York Times' correspondent pictures the scene in the streets of Sorugossa iu the following words: The statements which reach us concerning the events which have taken place In thu town of Walls, give a highly colored and perhaps not altogether faithful account of the ucls committed by the Insur gents. When reduced to the strict limits of truth they will be found bad enough. The "Terror ists'," for such, It is stated, tho members of tho Republican Club cull themselves, began their operations by killing iu the street two of the wealthiest proprietors In the place. Alter this, under the pretense of searching for arms, they sacked their houses and burned their furniture ou the publlu square. A notary, named Guy, was served In the same manner. From Honor Prat, a lawyer, nud a member of the Departmental Council, they took a sum of $:Iuimi, an t burned all his papers, Including a number of important uotarial acts. The manufactory of Senor Castellet was set on Ure, and the house of Senor Arnet, the lawyer, was also pillaged and burned to tie ground. Then, learn ing that Its owner was concealed In a neighbor ing house, the band humed him out, and, after dragging him through the streets, put him to death by shooting him. Senor Ferrers, another lawyer, was next taken out und murdered in cold blood. A scene that would have moved any but the hardest hearts followed theBe atrocities. Senor Dasca, a notary, who had rendered him self obnoxious, had prudently taken to flight, knowing the fate that was in store for him. The terrorists snrronnded his house, but on entering It found only Madame Dasca and her son, an only child. They demanded money from her, and obtained a sum of about looo. Nots itlslled with this, they Insisted on getting more, and as she was unable to comply with their demands they took young Dasca an dragged him through the streets to murder him. The unfortunate mother threw herself between her boy and his assassins, coveted him with her body, and told them that to kill him they mast first kill her. The scene Is de scribed as having been tragic and touching in the extreme. The supplications of the wretchod mother were at last successful, and she was allowed to carry her boy home with her. Hoth are said to ba still suffering from the shock of this ter rible scene. The house of Senor Grau, the notary, was next pillaged and burned. Then followed the sack and destruction of tho residence of Senor Hones, notary and advocate. Senor Hones had concealed himself with a sum of about fm). He was smoked ont of his hiding place, dragged through the streets and shot. Senor Onafre, a merchant, was shot while he was seated at his supper table. Senors radio and Ros were killed In the same manner. Fifteen of the richest merchants were stripped of everything they had, and their houses completely gutted. One of the bankers of the town. M. Moncisse was Visited by three chiefs of tho band, who went ti hlra to demand arms in the name of the sovereign peo ple. As soon as they entered the house they de tnandel money. He handed to two of the chiefs a sum amounting to nea ly filuo. The third chief guarded the door. When he learned thit his two comrndes had received the ab-ve sum he went and denounced them as thieves, and then consistently got three other terrorists to join him Rnd to go and exact a similar sum. The scoundrels havlnz ex torted the nmount, went to a cabaret to drink and gamble. They were killed while thus engaged nut the banker did not succeed In recovering h.s money. The AnniHln Miirillo. Scch are the stories which reach us hero of the proceedings of the Insurgents. 1 do not seek to ex tenuate them, but I am justified In saying that thev arc to be received with reserve. There would be nothing extraordinary in them, however, in a c un try one of the most eminent statesmen of which, tenor Olozuga, writes to a criminal of the deepest dje a letter expressive of his sympathy and of his In tention to try und obtain his pardon. In order tt give you some Idea of the light in which the crime or assassination is regarded In Spain, let me give you a few particulars respecting this man Miirillo, lor whom the Spanish Minister in Paris Is interceding. After committing eight successive murders on the renlnsula, none of them, be it remarked, political, Senor oloznga's prnlee succeeded in escaping thu civil guards who were on his track, nnd crossing the Pyrenees. He had scarcely entered France when he scaled nnd broke Into the llrst story of a country house inhabited by a master und lils servant. On entering the bedroom of the hitter lie awoke him bv plunging a dagger to the hilt In his back, hoping, by this mentis, to more readily overcome the resistance of the master. Tiie wounded niun, however, by a desperate cll'ort, suc ceeded iu seizing the nssassin, nnd throw ing him out of the window. The unfortunate young man expired shortly after. This murder, tae ninth of Senor Murlllo's exploits of this character, created all the more excitement from the fact that the vic tim was a devoted son, ntiit supported an aged mother by his earnings. The French qetvlurme, more fortunate, or perhaps more Incorruptible, than those or Spain, pursued and caught, the" murderer, and he was brought before the Assize Court at Pan, and condemned to death. General News The amount or dnniage caused to p'iblic Institu tions and works during the recent outbreaks in Spain is estimated at 40,u0il,i)en reals. A man was recently executed in Altona, North Gerrnany.who hid murdered Ids father, m ther, two brothers, two sisters, and a female servant, in order to secure a small bag of money. Count Wnitislaw.Privy Councillor and Comptroller of the Imperial Palace at Vienna, committed suicide by blowing out, his bruins after having assisted at the dinner given to the Prince lioyul of Prussia. Oillclul assassinations still continue iu Italy, the most recent being the nmrdvT of the secretary of tho commune of Orgasolo, in Sardinia, and an attempt upon the life of the municipal Becretaiy of the city of Naples. At the Norwich (England) election Liqulry com mission In Hrldgewuter, Air. Walter Passant stated that at the contest in ISM he spent Ml. He in tended to fight up pure principles, but he found aiterwards that the liberal lawyers had spent cor ruptly Xlliio, w hich he repaid, "iu order not to be thought mean.'' Mr. John Hrlght pnld a visit to Dumfries and went to see the grave of Hums. During Mr. Itrlglit's stay at Carlisle, Ktiglund, he made daily excursions to places of interest in the nelghboroood. He visited Canonble, calling on the wuy way at Arthuret Church to see the grave of the lute Sir James Graham. Mr. Woodward, librarian In ordinary to Queen Victoria, ut, Windsor Custle, died Octo'ber 12. Mr. Woodward was a man of considerable literary and artistic culture. He wrote a history of Wales and a history of America, nnd a local history of Hamp shire, was editor of the Fine Art Qua'terly ll'.nie-o, and lately engaged on a lire of "Leonardo da Vinel." It is said that Important changes will soon be ma le in tiie law rehiring to the press in Kussla. The prin cipal newspapers .of Moscow and St. Petersburg, which, under the decree Issued four years agj, are removed from the control of the censorship, though they are still liable to arerlieiMni, often followed by suspension nnd contlscation, openly express their fear that even the restricted nmount of lib rtv now allowed them will be withdrawn. The Moscow (,'azette announces that, the alterations which nro to bo made in the present law already exist o;i paper and that they aro the work of bureauoratie reaction ists, who have persuaded the government that the freedom at present enjoyed by the press exposes the State to ail sorts of dangers. The Westminster (England) Review says that the ex-Queen of Spain has serious thoughts of retiring from the gavetics of Parisian life. The (ianlui-i states that her Majesty has bought a little property near Gonesse, In the department f the Selne-ct-oise, whero Sister Patrocinlo and a score of nuns are going to set up a conventional establishment. The original landlord of tho property is said to have been a retired rugpicker of Paris, who bus gone ti lils native town to enjoy nts utmm cum dignitate. The idea of a Queen buying property from a chiffo nier is certainly suggestive of the vanity of all things human. At a meeting of the Cork Board of Poor Law Guardians, Mr. 1). J. Hlordan tendered notice of a motion to the cil'ect that the hoard petition Parlia ment to rass a measure securing the occupiers of hind "the free and unrestricted enjoyment of the labor and capital expended on the soil while pre serving to the landlord his just rights ami privileges." The chairman peremptorily relused to receive the motion, on the ground that It was "political." A letter In the Suremheru Cnrre pontlent explains as follows the mysterious publication of state docu ments supposed to have been kept profoundly secret. The writer, who professes to be private secretary to a minister, states that he was accus tomed to tuke the copy to tho lithographers, and, alter the requisite number of copies had been printed, to see the writing ell'uced from the stones. One dav, just us the operation was concluded, an order came for a double number of copies, and as he was com plaining that he had all his work to do over again, the lithographer told him not to be uneasy, us he could save all the trouble. He took some nitric acid, spread It over the surface of the stone, and every letter reappeared in its original state. I0I'KZ' Itetnils of Illn Dereat by the Allied Forcen. The Punumu Herald ami Star, of October 14, prints the following news from Paraguay The lust dates from Asuuscion ure to the ISth of August. Two more sharp lights had anew wetted the soil of the republic with thu blood of Its heroic defenders. According to oitlctu! statement, H. H II. the Count d'l'.u, at the head of the 1st and M divisions or the Brazilian .army and 1200 Argentine troops, obtained a decided victory over the Para guayans on the morning of the 12lh of August. Thu town of Perlbebiil, the last point ti'uppui of Marshal Lopez, and which hud been well fortllled, was taken by assault The attack was most intrepid and vigor ously sustained by both Hra.llians ami Argentines. The enemy lost above one thousand men among killed and wounded. The Commander-in-Chief of the town, General Cabullero, was killed by a cannon bull when in the very act of encouraging his men. On the side of the allies the loss is stated to have oeen slight; however, the bravo General Juan Manuel Mena Barret", commanding the Itft wlug, received a fatal shot Iu the head, causing lustautuuo ous death, ut an early stage or the battle. Lopez and his lailliful friend In misfortune, Ma dame Lynch, were evidently obliged to retire from Peribebui in greut haste uud confusion, leaving be hind them the archives and some valuable personal propel ty. Count d'Eu followed the enemy to Caacup'e, thus completely cutting oil' retreat both north and southward, ami causing tho abandonment of Cerro Leon by hostile forces, consequently leaving open communication established by the allies with 1'lrayu. To this hitter place members of Para guayan families in the utmost state of destitution flocked for shelter and protection from the excessive cruelty of Lopez and his followers. 5 General Mitre, commanding tho Argentines, and General Anto at the bead of &00U Brazilians, arrived here on the 9th from their former encampment at Guazzlrra, and on the 12th the Pass of the Cordillera, leading to Altos, was forced. The second combat took place three days after. The allies, in pursuit, fell In with the enemy near Caraguatay, when a sharp encounter ensued, which lasted from eight in the morning nntil two In the afternoon, and ended ; in me total rout or jipez s remaining forces, aooui Snoo of his men were placed horn de combat; fifteen pieces of artillery of heavy calibre, all the baggage, and many prisoners fell Into the hands of the victors. Marshal Lopez himself, with a few trusty followers, managed to effect his escape, and fled into the moun tains. General Mitre, In his despatch to Senor D. Koquo Perez, dated Altos, ltllh of August, states that this long war or devastation, which has laid wuste the entire republic of Paraguay, Is now at an end. The Provisional Government of Paraguay was In augurated at Asuncion on the 15th, amid religions and civil Bolemnlytloiis. CALIFORNIA. New .llinea In the Connt Knnfte. Reports arc published of the discovery of placer diggings and gold quartz In the coast range near Sau Diego and San Bernardino, 4'ulifonila. The "prospects" are said to be very favorable for wages for a limited number. There have been frequent discoveries of gold and silver in the coast range (says the liulletin) from the uclghhorhsod of San Francisco, midway of the State, to points on the lower coast three hundred miles south. As early us lM'ialot of twenty ounces of gold was forwarded to the Philadelphia Mint from the placers or San Franelsqulto, about thirty-five miles northwest from Los Angelos. These diggings were worked until Yielding Jcoiki or fsuiio u year to the labor of a lew Mexicans. In 1S4(1, before the discovery or gold in the Sierra Nevada, several other finds or gold and silver were reported, some of which were located near Oakland and San Jose. Frequently during the twenty years since then small quantities of gold have been found In the coast range, but the deposits, chiefly on the southern coast, have been limited, and were worked by a row men for only a short time. The geology of the range is not favor able to the existence of extensive gold deposits. Forest Fires. The great forests are periodically burned over. The sections which escape one year, according to the Sun Francisco Bulletin, are pretty sure to bo swept with lire the next. Most of tnese tires are wholly unnecessary. Some of them result from carelessness, and more from design. The damages are Immense. All the undergrowth Is destroyed ; the fallen timber is consumed, anil the fire eats Into the standing timber wherever there is a decayed, spet or a pitch kuot, nnd these trees fall In the first storm which sweeps over the country. Very often the forests are set on tire by hunters to drive out the deer Into the open country and valleys below. A Ure has been raging in Santa Cruz countv for some days, which is re ported to have had its origin in this way. Camp tires are left burning, and the tire once getting into Hit? woods, it muy run until some canon or stream is met wide enough to arrest its progress. A tiro started by the discharge "of a shot-gun has been known to extend lorty miles, most of the way through heavy timber, consuming, of course, ail fences, und even houses and saw-iuiils, in its march, lliitinei. ot San FrnnciHeo. The business of the city of Sau Francisco has maintained a healthy condition, and has even maiiu substantial gains this year. The imports have been the heaviest ou record. The marine arrivals aggre gated a larger tonnage, and the California bound fleet now on the way Is larger than for several pre vious years, except the last, and show a net-gain of twenty-two thousand In population. The combined exports or merchandise and treasure sho an in crease. The treasury lecelpts have been larger than for the same period last year, and merchants are foi warding the largest wheat crop ever raised in tho State, and to export the surplus there have been heavier engagements of tonnage the bust quarter than were ever known In the same period. Mining stocks have shrunk In valnu by nearly :i,oihi,ihm; but this is a gain to commerce and muuuiaciuies. A KEMAKKAKLE SCENE. An Insane Slan Attempts to llnrder a Bank Teller. The N..Y. Commercial of yesterday prints the' fol lowing: A remarkable scene was enacted at the Citizens' Savings Hunk, corner of Bowery ami Canal street, shortly before noon to-day. A man named James Llllles, a native of Ireland, who is a depositor iu the bank, entyred the institu tion, and in nn excited manner demanded of the paying teller the money deposited to his account, at the same time saying that ho had lost his bank book. The teller, Mr. Charles W. Held, Informed him that this wus an unusual proceeding, and that he must til st advertise the loss of his book before the money could lie paid to him. At this Llllles became greatly exusperated, and drew from his coat-pocket a six barrelled revolver, two of the chambers of which ho dischurged in succession at Mr. Held. Fortuuutely, neither shot took effect, although they grazed his left coat-sleeve. Immediately there was much excitement In the bank. The clerks leaped over the counters and attempted to grapple with the desperate man, fearing that he would dis charge the four remaining barrels of his weapon. While the struggle was going on, Oillcer King, of the Hroadway squad, who Is stationed at the corner of Canal street and the Bowery, having heard the reports of the pistol, entered the bank und disarmed Llllles. The latter was handcuffed and taken from the bunk to thd sidewalk, where a large and excited crowd had collected. Llllles was then placed in a carriage and driven to the Tombs, where he was airalgued before Justice Dolling. At the Tombs the prisoner conducted himself in an excited man ner, and said that he has been a depositor in the bunk for the past thirty-five years, notwithstanding the fact he Is but thirty-four years of age. From this and other almost equally singular statements on his part, as well as his violent conduct ut the bank, it is interred thut Lillies is insane. After an examination he wus fully committed for trial on a charge of felo nious ussault. MUCH MARRIED. A Minister lib itlany Wives. The Warren county (Mo.) Jlamwr, of tie 21st Inst., has the following notice of a professed preacher, who appears to be very much married, and to have a very bad character. The Hanner says: About live weeks ago, a missionary Baptist preacher, calling himself Richard llovey, went to Truxton, Lincoln county, Mo., preached every night, and sometimes in the day. After preaching some three weeks there and in the vicinity he was taken suddenly ill, made his will, willed some fao.ooo worth of property to various Individuals, uud 3J,()ou to MlkS Emma Holiday, of Truxton. As it happened he recovered from his Illness, and on the 4tli instant wus married to Miss Emma, and they went then to Florence on a preaching expedition. After prcuchlng several days, proceeded to attend the Montgomery Fair, but instead went to Dan ville, whero he got drunk, said he had eight wives besides Emma, and iutended to have an other before two months. At Danville ho let his wife know thut he intended to leave the country; she being interested for herself uud the owner of the horse und buggy, refused to go Willi him, and took the reins wl drove to Florence, where she told llovev that she was done with him. und sent for ner father, llovey learned that he would be arrested for obtaining money on his forged certificates or de posit, aud look leg bail through a corn-field, lileh nrd E llovey hails from New ork State, Is ubjiit forty-nine years old, a missionary Haptist preacher, a flue speaker, weighs ubout one hundred and forty pounds, has black hair and whiskers mixed with irrev teeth uneven, dark complected, uud is about live feet nine and a half niches Iilgli.

One female took the characters of "Marcellus," "OulldeiiBtern," "Player," "Queen," und "Osric;" unother took Hornardo"uul "Horatio" during the churchyard scene. As to the men, ono wus "Horatio," then as llosencrautz" spoke tho prologue, ami was "Luclanus" in the play scene; was "Second Gravedigger," uud then "Horatio" ugalu. "Oueeii Gertrude" persisted in calling her son "Luuilut," uud "Laertes" was disguised ii liquor. The Tennessee Legislature. This body is doing better Uiun we had reason to expect of It from thu accounts Immediately succeed ing the election. Not only has the new Legislature passed a resolution that the State debt must be re garded as inviolable, but all the prophecies of Oln cinnutl and other Western papers that Andrew Johnson would be chosen Senutor have been put to naught. Furthermore, we are now assured by one who has mingled freely with tho members, that they, with scarce an exception, repudiate the idea of repudiating the State debt. It is uow reported that there are only three or four persons in both branches of the Legislature who gave aid to the Rebellion. SECOND EDITION L ATX! ST TJTT TH LZ3 OR AFZZ.

Adjourned. FINANCE AWD COJIJ1EKCE. Oitioi or tits Kvzwma Tin, ion rH,l Wednesday, Oot. 27, im. I The demand for money to-day Is, so far. slightly below the average, and with a fair supply at the banks no great difficulty Is experienced in effecting loans on call or on limited time, but there Is a de cided repugnance to long-time contracts In conse quence of the uncertainty which surrounds the local financial question. The rates on call with Government collaterals are 67per cent., and on mixed securities 9$10 per cent. There is not much discounting on the street, and less at the banks, and the rates are diUlcult to fix on account of the wide range of the grades of paper, and the ditllculty of defining the really good.. Home discounters hold the principle that all paper is second-class which Is pressed, and those who are really in need had better make a note of this fact, Tbe gold market is again weak In consequence of the utter lack of speculative feeling in the article and the disbursement In the coming month of t2ft, 000,000 In payment of Interest on the public debt.
