FIRST EDITIONI THE CHINESE, Why the Ratification, of the United States Treaty is Deferred -Confi. dence in Mr. Burlingame The Opposition to the Embassy. A correspondent of the New York Timet writes as follows: 1'kkin, Thursday, Oct. 7. Arriving at ShanRhac a few weeks ago, l was startled to Und a rumor cur rent to the eireet that tho Chinese Government had rejected Mr. llnrltnRame's treaty with the United Mates. That rumor lias ere this spread all over the the western world, everywhere dolnp; damage to the prestige of the Embassy, and Injury to the credit of the Chinese Government. Originating In China, It la, of course, received as authentic few persons taking the trouble to relied how unlikely It is that a treaty which was objected to In America as too favorable to the Chinese would be rejected by the favored pr rty ; and how Impolitic It would be for the Chinese Government, by repudiating the first act or their Knvoys, to cut the ground from under their feet and defeat the objects of their mission. On reaching this capital I took pains to ascertain the 'Views of the Government on tills subject, call ing at the Foreign OITlce In Company with Dr. Wil liams, our Charge d'AM'alres. Four of the live Minis ters were present, and they expensed a degree of surprise, amounting almoHt to consternation, ou learning that such a report had gained currency. Is it probable," said Wcnstanjr, the 1'resldent of the Council, "that we would rejeet a treaty that was negotiated for our special advantage?" lie was anxious to know what could be the origin of the rumor, and on being told It was probably founded on their despatch to our late Minister. Mr. Hrowne, on the exchange of ratifications, he produced a copy of that despatch, and while we read the document for ourselves he favored us with his somments. "You nee," said he, "that this merely defers the ratlllca tlon It docs not decline It, No time ar place is lixed In the treaty for the exchange, ami as our Mission has not completed their work, we preferred to wait until we should have the results of their negotiations with other countries, and comparing them with each other, consider and dispose of the whole subject at one time." As to the Mission itaelf, the Ministers expressed their confidence In Mr. Burlingame as unshaken, while they gave utterance to sentiments of mortitl catlon and disappointment at the opposition their Mission had beeM obliged to encounter. "This move ment," said Weuslang, "Is an adoption on our part of Western usages. Hitherto China has never sent such an Embassy ; and in sending this one, we ex pected that It would find an open road and a smooth path; but ou the contrary, everybody seems in clined to throw snares and pitfalls In Its way. If," he continued, "we had had a native of suillcleut experience, we should have placed him at the head or it. But having no native of suitable qualifications, we chose for that position a foreigner of well-known character and abilities. The other foreign Ministers seemed pleased with the appolnt- ment, but now they seem to wish for nothing so much as the defeat of his understanding." He re ferred to the adverse tone of the newspnpers, in- ? Hiring tf nothing could bo done to restrain them rom clrculatibg mischievous reports, and added, with a good deal of bitterness: "Alter such an ex perience with our first Embassy, we shall be almost afraid to send another." Mr. Borllnaame'n Credentials Oo Thev Dlllcr from Those of 111m AhhocIiUck A correspondent of the San Francisco AUa Cali fornia writes as follows: IIono Kong, Tuesday, Oct. 19. The most Import ant matter which has come under public notice since the departure of the last Tactile Mail steamer, is the (uestlon of the validity or otherwise of the credentials of Mr. Burlingame. This question was raised some three months- ago by a letter written by a Mr. James B. Robertson to one of the Hhaughao papers, and up to that point the news has no doubt reached your readers, A few days ago the transla tions wnicn are appenoeu appeared in me niiiiiiguuu Daily Acton, which, on account of the wide difference between them, have set the public entirely agog. OFFICIAL THANSLATION. "Ills Majesty the Emperor of China salutes (her) Majesty (the tjueen) of England. In virtue of the commission we have with reverence received from Heaven, and as China and foreign nations are mem bers of one family, we are cordially desirous of placing ou a firm and lasting basis the relations of friendship and good understanding now existing be tween us and the nations at amity with China. And as a proof of our genuine desire for that ob ject, we have specially selected an olllccr of worth, talents, and wisdom, Anson Burlingame, late Minis ter at our capital for the United States of America, who is thnn ughly conversant with Chinese and foreign relations, and In whom, In transacting all business in which the two Kmpires of China and (Kngiand) have a common interest, we htive foil con fidence as our representative and the exponent of our Ideas. We have also commissioned Chili Kang and Sun Chlaku, high o Ulcers with the honorary rank of the second grade, to accompany Mr. Burlingame to Kngiand, where Mr. Burlingame, with the two so appointed, will act as our High Minister Extraordi nary and Plenipotentiary. , We have full confidcace In the loyalty, zeal, and discretion of the said three Ministers, aud aro assured they will discharge satisfactorily the duties intrusted to them, and we earnestly request that the fullest credence and trust may be accorded to them, that thereby our relations of friendship may be made permanent, and that both nations may enjoy the blessings of peace and tranquillity, a result which we are certain will be deeply gratifying." "DAILY NEWS" TRANSLATION. "II. M. the Emperor of China to II. M. the Sove reign ltuler of (Great Britain) greeting. "Our title to universal sway has been reverently received from Heaven. (Kegurdlug) the central and outer nations as one family, we have been conside rately mindful of the lesser States in amity with us; and for the purpose of consolidating and render ing permanent the existing good understand ing with them, we have made special selec tion of good, capable, and Intelligent otllcers to visit together (Great Britain), namely the recently resident United States Minister at Po kln, Mr. Burlingame, who, from his acquaintance with the circumstances of both Chinese and foreign ers, will, in the management of the international business between the two countries, prove there is reason to expect a competent exponent of our views as to what requires adjustment (lit. what Is warped) and Che Kang and Suu Chlaku, of the second grade in rank. "The appointment of ofllcers, all taken from the class of high functionaries who are selected by reason of special fitness for posts of importance, at tests the sincerity of our friendly sentiments. All three officers being, as we know, of tried lidelity, eal, and painstaking in care, they are sure to manage satisfactorily. We do hope, therefore, that you will extend to them all frankness, so that by the interchange of unreserved confidence means muy be found for placing"friendly relations upon a last ing basis, to the enjoyment by all in common of peace and tranquillity, a result which will cause you, we en - tertaln no doubt, very great rejoicing. "Dated Chung-chi, 6th year, 18th month, Cth day." Of course a vast number of explanations 'iave been hazarded, but none of them seem to clear up the mystery. One suggestion Is that probably two sets of credentials have been made out, the one for Mr. Burlingame, and the other for the associate En voys; the former having the naval foreign title and "form, aud being the one above given as the otllclal translation, and the other being adapted to the weaknesses of China, and keeping up that amiable spirit of arrogance and conceit which enables them to look upon the United States and such unimportant countries as lesser or tributary States. BOLD BOX I) BURGLARS. 9 11.000 Mtolrn from a Ht. ronU Bank Sol. Builin'a MocurUlea teuller. The Missouri Republican of Nov. U8 has the follow ing : A heavy roblery of bonds was perpetrated In this city some weeks ago, but which up to the pre sent has been kept quiet, as It was thought publlca-' tlon might Interfere with the recovery of the pro perty aud the detection of the thief or thieves. The banking house where the robbery was committed was the Keal Estate Savings Institution, No. 010 Olive street, and the amount of bonds stolen la thus set forth in the circular of the firm : St. Louis, Nov. 8, 18459. f 10(10 RKWAHD. The following described bondB were stolon on 1st or 2d Inst., to wit : One 5-20 V. S. bond, dated Ha; 1, 1803, No. 13,166 1500. ' one B-20 U. 8. bond, dated May 1, 1882, No. 13,167 l&oo. Ten 6-SO U. S. bonds, dated May 1. IStW, f 1000, and each numbered from lft,tia to 16,001, inclusive, and payable to SoL Smith or bearer. will payl&oo for the recovery of the bonds, or I'O'jO for the recovery of the bonds and conviction o-i the thief. Gkoror K. Dunn, lio. CIO Olive street. The reward has tlnce, we understand, beeu in creased to $50(10. 1 he iftM operandi of the robhery is not even yet clearly understood, but It seems evident that It wan perpetrated in daytime, when the establishment waa open dnrlng business hours. The bonds must . have been taken from the safe, which is situated in the wall within the space Included by the counter, the only approach to which Is through the door open ing from the private otllc.e lr the rear. Behind the counter the clerks are at work all day, but there are ficqucntly, during the day, a number of persons who call on business In the room in the rear. Ac cording to the present comprehension of the rob bery, so far as It goes, the thief must have entered this rear room ostensibly on business, taking advan tage of other people being there to avoid being noticed, and, watching an opportunity, passed through the door into the space Inclosed by the counter and so reached the safe, and appropriated the bonds and escaped unseen. It seems almost in credible that the robbery could have been perpe trated in this way, but it is not more extraordinary than other robberies which have occurred In the city In times past. Up to the present we are In formed no recovery of the property has been made, and altogether, It is rattier a mysterious piece of business. There are three doors to the safe, two Inside ones, but they are all open generally during business hours. A. I). RICHARDSON 1)11X0. iUnrrlnre to Mr. Macro la the Astor limine Ymtrrilny IIr I Slurried on hi Deiulibcd by Ilie Itrv. Henry Wnnl Heeeher All Huiies of a Recovery linnlnhrd. Mr. Mehardson'B condition last night, was ex tremely critical, and there was very little probability ol his living many hours unless a speedy change for the better occurred. Drs. Sayre, Holcomhe, and Swan were in attendance throughout the day, and were unremitting in their attentions, as was also Dr. Carter, of Pouuhkeepsle, who has scarcely been out of the patient's sight for four days, and was again to be tne only physician on duty last night. Willie fully appreciating the valuable services of the other medical gentlemen, Mr. Kichardson seems to place special confidence In Dr. Carter, and rather Jocularly remarked yesterday that he was rowing In nr. carters noar, in spire oi me most assumous care the patient's strength Is slowly but too surely failing. Injections of strong beef tea and brandy are constantly administered, '('lie experiment has also been made or giving the paMent a little beef tea to drink, and at mldulght the stomach had actually retained a teaapoonfiil for twenty minutes, the longest period anything has stayed there since Thursday evening. This fact, though not in Itself of much import ance, is, as far as It goes, encouraging. Small por tions oi tea were to ne given in mis way (Hiring tne nifclit, and It was hoped that the experiment would prove beneficial. Early this morning, however, there appeared to be no Improvement in Mr. ltlch ardson's condition. His pulse was 145 and very weak, he was nervous aud restless, aud his mind at times rambled, though generally he was entirely lucid and self-possessed. TUB MAKKIAGE IN TT1E BICK-KOOM. The unfavorable symptoms Pet in about 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon, and early in tne forenoon his physicians thought It desirable that the wishes ex pressed by botli Mr. Kichardson and Mrs. Sage, and by their relatives and friends, for their marriage, slieuld be no longer opposed, though heretofore, In view of the necessity of keeping the sufferer per fectly quiet, they thought it best that the ceremony should lie postponed. The He.v. 11. W. Beecher who had promised on Monday evening to hold himself In readiness, when called upon, to perform the service was accordingly sent for, and reached the Astor House be tween 5 anil rt. in company with the Kev. N. M. Field, D. D., and the Kev. O. B. l'rothiugliam. Among those present were Mr. Junius Henri Browne, the companion of Mr. Kichardson during his captivity in the rebel prison at Salisbury ; Colonel Thomas W. Knox, his old and iutimaUMricnd : the Kev. Henry M. Field, who stood at the Bide of Mr. Beecher during tho ceremony ; Mr. W. T. Blake, of Boston, a cousin of the dying bridegroom; C. A. Kunkle; Mr. Charles A. Kichardson, of Boston, tho brother of the dying man; Thomas B. Holder; uoctors ii oiconio, carter, ana ayre: Mrs. l.ueta u. Calhoun, Mrs. Thomas B. Holder, Miss Lily Gilbert, and Airs, sage, tne motner or Airs. Aic variana. a messenger was sent to Jersey City for the son of Mr. Kichardson, but he did not arrive la time to witness the marriage ceremony. The physicians were also in waiting, and after Mr. ltlchardsou had been made as preheat able and com fortable as circumstances would permit, the clergy men were admitted to the sick chamber.and stood by the bedside of the sufferer, while Mrs. Sage sat near, clasping the right hand of the. patient, ami the friends and relatives stood at the door and around the bed. The marriage service then followed. Mr. Frothinghnm Let us pray. O our Father, may it please Thee In this place and at this moment to bless these Thy children with that blessing which Thou alone canst give a blessing that shad make the dying bed full of peace and satis faction unci gratitude; that shall make tho living heart full of courage and faith. Bind together these two hearts, our Father, and though the hands may not hold each other through the journey of life, may these hearts still be one before Thee, to whom life and death, the world to come aud this world, are the same. Father, we thank Thee for what these two have been to each other, for what they may lie yet. May he take her linage with him to the spiri tual life, and may she, bearing his namo and vindi cating his honor, carry him about with her through all the pilgrimage that Is yet before her, to strengthen her courage and give her patience under her burden, to help her through all her care. Bless those who may depend upon her. Bless the little ones who are left in the world without their father. Be Thou their Father, their Mother, their constant Friend. And in the assurance of the heweuly life, may he bass on to Thee ; may Bhe remain with them and him here below. Mr. Beecher (to Mr. Richardson) Do you tako the woman whom you have by your side now, la this hour, standing near the heavenly laud and renew to her the pledges of your love 1 Do you give your heart to her, and your name 1 Is she, before God aud before these witnesses, your beloved, your honored, and your lawful wife? Mr. Kichardson (in au audible aud clear voice) YfS. . Mr. Beecher (turning to Mrs. Sage) And do you accept him us your head in the Lord ? Aud are you now to him a wife sacred ind honored, bearing' his name ? Aud will you love him to the end of your life 1 Mrs. Sage I do. aud wilL Mr. Beecher Then by the authority given me by the church of Christ, I do pronounce you husband and wife; and may the blessing of Almighty God, the Father, tlie Son, aud the Holy Spirit rest upon you and abide with you. Amen. Short and simple, the ceremony was deeply lm presslvo and atl'ectlng. At its close the ministers and friends withdrew, after offering their silent con gratulations and sympathies. M'KARLAND ON TUB MAKBIAGE. The Intelligence of tho marriage was communi cated to McFarland last evening. He was lying in bed In his cell at the time, aud his Informant, not wishing to make the announcement too abruptly, asked him, after a few Incidental remarks, "Have you heard the news concerning Kichardson this afternoon?'' "No, 1 did not, except that I saw in the AVun that he was worse." "You did not hear of the ceremony?'' "No! What ceremony?" "Henry Ward Beecher visited Mr. Richardson this afternoon, and ' "He vutrried my wife f" "Mr. Kichardson and Mrs. Sago were married." McFarlaud threw himself back on his pillow with out uttering a word. After a loug pause, his Inform ant gravely asked. "Do you think that is hard ?" "Yes, 1 do think it is very hard," was the slow response. Nothing more was said on either side. A CASE MKK TUAT OF Mil. KICIIABDSON SAVED. To the Editor of the Tribune, Sir: Reading of the attempted assassination of Mr. Kichardson, and the nature of his mound, prompts me to call atten tion to the case if H. Beverly Cole, 'M. D., of San Francisco, who. in taking his overcoat from ajclosct, dislodged his Colt's revolver, which, falling on a marble pavement, exploded, aud a ball passed through his stomach and lodged in the vicinity of the spine. Dr. Cole Is now (or was at latest dates) alive anil hearty. The treatment of his case is published, and if 1 remember aright, ice formed a proment medicament. Dr. Cole, for many months after leaving his sick couch, was bent forward, but gradually rusumed his erect sta ture, and is now eujoylng robust health. I suggest an inquiry as to the system of treatment, as his case occasioned considerable comment with the profes sion. It can be obtained by telegraph. Mr. Kich ardson became acquainted with Dr. Cole la San Francisco. Respectfully, M. M. Noau. W ashington, Nov. 28, 1809. Latest, 2-ao A. M. Mr. Richardson's condition Is very slightly Improved.

A Vrfrnmti of Wovrrr.or (Jrnry'n Actlon-Rra son Why the Law Miould i'ake li Coarse. The New York World .ubllshes trie following coiii muiilcation concerning the case of Dr. Paul Bchocppe, now awaiting execution at Carlisle: Pnii.ADRi.riiiA, Nov. 27. Sir: Your editorial article to-day upon the subject or the conviction for murder and sentence of Dr. Paul Schoeppo, of Car lisle, is so palpably unjust to Governor Geary that I am persuaded you have Dot seen the report or tho Attorney-General. Hon. F. Carroll Brewster, to whom this subject was referred by the Governor for his otllclal examination. The Irleuds of the doomed man, who are among our most respectable German citizens, together with two or three prominent German societies, have been unwearying in their efforts to have the medical tes timony reviewed, and contradicted, if possible. They have succeeded In doing what Is never very tlllllcult to do to find one set or chemical experi mentalists who will flatly contrail let the theories of another set But the Hon. Attoruey-Ueneral, alter carefully considering the chemical testimony, finds that the one side onsets the other, and advises the Governor, as the court did the Jury, in the charge to the jury, that the question as to the preponderance of testimony was a question for the Jury alone, that the court could do no more than recite to the Jury the diverse opinions of the various medical experts, aud that the Court had further charged that if the Jury found themselves embarrassed by the conlllct of sci entific testimony, they must then set aside entirely this class of testimony, and look at that which was clear, unimpeachable, anil uncontradicted. The Attorney-General then recites the points which seemed beyond dispute that the accused had been proven to have purchased prussic acid at two differ ent places, wltlilu tlttecn days prior to the denth of MIhb Stcinecke: that the unfortunate lady whose death is laid at the door or Dr. Schoeppo was, appa rently, In sound health on the duy before the prisoner Is known to have prescribed for her; that she had walked to the bank and had drawn the money thenco on her check. On the next day, about tea-time, sho was heard to sny that "the doctor (Schoeppe) had given her something to make her sleep." The next day Bhe was unable to leave her bed, and within twenty-four hours after her tea table declaration she was a corpse! Tho day af;er her death a check was presented at the bank where she kept her account, by the prisoner, which was so palpable a forgery that payment was refused; and, lastly, after death, a will was found reversing tho already well-known disposition of her effects in favor of the prisoner, Paul Schoeppe, which was witnessed only by the father or the prisoner, and was pronounced by those familiar with her sig nature, also a rorgcry. These lacts are quou-d by the Attorney-! ieneral lor tho guidance or the Governor, ami It is impossible to believe that the Executive was Influenced by anything else. As a political opponent of Governor Geary, I have found his record, during his first term, so damaging to him by reason of his numerous and most unaccountable pardons of notorious criminals, that I feel It incumbent on all to do him, in this case, the justice to state, as I have thus done, the naked facts in the case. The true interests of society de mand that the Governor should be upheld In the faithful discharge of his sworn duty, and anything like partisanship, under the circumstances, should be discountenanced. Justitia. N. B. 1 have neglected to state that it appeared In evidence that when the remark of Miss Sten neckn about his giving her a sleeping-potion was repeated to Dr. Schoeppe, he colored and became confused; and presently remarked, "I did not give her anything to put her to Bleep." An Appeal from New York Physicians In the Prisoner's Behalf. The following letters have beca forwarded to Governor Geary from New York : New Yokk, Nov. BO. His Excellency John W. Geary, Governor or the State or Pennsylvania. My Dear Sir: I commend to your most earnest consi deration the enclosed letter from Professors Dore niuB and Horsford in relation to tho testimony which Is said to have warranted the conviction or Dr. Schoeppe for the crime of murder. The gentlemen who sign this letter have no supe riors In their proiessiou as chemists. They have examined the evidence upon which the conviction was based, simply from a scientific point or view, and without any interest in the case other than such as is creditable to their humanity, and to their re gard for sclentlltc truth. Our German friends la this city all take a deep interest In this matter, and ihey desire that there should be conveyed to you an expression, rrom scientific persons in this city, or their Judgment as to the weight to be given to the testimony upon which conviction was based. 1 am, with great respect, your obedient servant, C. A. Skwakii. Nbw Y'ork, Nov. 30. His Excellency Governor J. W. Geary, llarrisburg. Pa.: The undersigned, chemists by profession, have read In the papers that your Excellency has Issued your warrant for the execution of Dr. Schoeppe, for the alleged crime of murder by poison. We have examined with care the chemical testi mony upon which such conviction was had. A crimi nal act is alleged fh have been proved by the evi dence of a chemist, who testified to having dis covered lu the deceased indications of prussic acid. Tlie scientific witness stated with precision tho ex. pertinents upon his opinion was based. These experiments were conducted in such a way that they would havegivenjevidence of the presence of prussic acid in any ordinary healthy stomach. The first step in the examination, that of treating the stomach with sulphuric acid, precluded the possibility of determining whether the faint, traces of prussic acid claimed to have been discovered exiBted in the stomach as such, or resulted from the action or t'.-.e sulphuric acid on the nervous fluids which must have lined the interior or that organ. In view or these considerations, in the Interest or scicntillc truth, and In the interest or a wise admin istration or Justice, we have thought It our duty, though personally unacquainted with Dr. Schoeppe, to express to you this our opinion that the evidence or the presence of prussic acid, as such, lu the sto mach, upon which he was adjudged guilty, is Insuf ficient to sustain his conviction.

Despatch to The Kvcnnuj Telegraph, Nashville, Dec. 1 In tho House yesterday Mr. Fleming, Chairman of tho Judiciary Com mittee, submitted a lengthy report, recommend ing the rejection of tho bill granting tho right of way to the Cincinnati Southern Kailway. Tho report says the Legislature has no constitutional power to pass tlits or nny similar bill, and if it Lad tho power it would be eminently unwise and impolitic to exercise it in tho mode and to the extent proposed. It recites iu detail tho provisions of tho bill and points out its legal bearings and effects; argues the question from a coiistitiitioual point of view, and points out tho various provisions repugnant to the State Con stitution and contrary to public policy, citing the opinions of the State and United States courts; points out the daugcr of grautiug a per petual right of way aud assignment of land to an exclusive foreign corporation, independent of legislative control in Tennessee, and irresponsible for judgments in its courts, because mortgaged from the State to Cincinuati bondholders. It says the principal object of the railroad is the augmentation of tho wealth and Import ance of Cincinnati, and not for tho public good of Tennessee, which is merely incidental to the main purpose. It says tho rights of eminent domain cannot be exercised thus for the be nefit or purposes of a foreign corporation, which does not even ask to be incorporated in Ten nessee, or to become subject to tho authority of Tennessee. It argues at length against the policy of the bill as affecting Tennessee. Two hundred and fifty copies of tho report and bill were ordered to bo printed. The bill will hardly como up on its final reading before Fri day or Saturday, when thero will bo a lively fight ovar it. The bill to charier the Louisvillo and Chatta nooga Railroad, which was introduced a few days since, will be unanimously recommended for passage by the Committee ou Internal Im provements. It differs from the Cincinnati bill in that it seeks a charter from the Tonnes ice Legislature. Ihe Northwestern Associated Pre. Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.

Robbery or the National Itank of Port .lervls Fifty Tlioimnnd Dollars In Money nnd Honda Mtolen Veduln, SledKlng, and UlotitinK Safe liurstrrs OutrlvallliiK the Safe Builders Full Detail or the A Hair-Five Thousand Dollars Ucwnrd Ollered. Fi'oni the Port Jertin Evening: Gazette, Sbv. 30. One of the moHt astounding, bold, and successful bank robberies was perpetrated this morning on the National Dank of Port Jervls, by which about $."0,oo0 in currency, bonds, and securities belonging to the bauk and individuals who had placed their bonds In the bank for safekeeping was stolen, the burglars having successfully made their escape. Tho robbery was llrst discov ered about 7 o'clock, by Andrew Thompson, the Dunk Clerk, II. II. Farnuni. President of the bank, and Peter E. Karnum. The news soon became noised abroad, aud all the inorninir tht bank has been thronged with people anxious to learn the par ticulars. There are all sorts of stories ailoat as to the extent of the Iobh, sotno stating tho amount to be 1100,000 and others still larger all of which are Incorrect. The total loss to the bank is between twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars, or about one half their surplus fund. This loss doos not atl'ect tne responsibility of the bauk lu the least. The bauk building is one of the most solid and substantial structures in town, being constructed of stone, with iron snuffers to ttio windows, an4 barred and bolted In the most secure maunev, rendering ti impossible lor any but au expert burglar to obtaiu au entrance without considerable effort, which would be likely to awaken those living In the vici nity. The vault of the bauk was constructed of stone, with a fuuudatiou of the same material, the cutrancc to which was secured by an Immense Iron door, welshing about :i500 pounds, and au lnnor dr of solid wrought iron, about three-quarters of an Inch thick. Tho locks used ou both tho outer aud inner doors wcro "Lil.ie's Combination liurglar Proof." Inside of the vault wero two tire and burglar proof safes, the largest of which was miulu by Her ring and the smallest one by I.lllie. The Herring safe contained the money aud papers of value oe longing to the bank, also Government securities, bonds, etc., which had been placed in the bank for safe-keeping. This safe was secured by Yale's com bination lock. The Llllie safe also contaiued a small amount of bonds and valuable papers. The next operation of the burglars was to open the vault. By driving steel wedges iuto the side and un derneath the door they made an opening of about hair an men, in wiucn tncy piaceu a quantity 01 I powder, which was ignited by a fuse. The door and ! frame were blown completely (HI, and fell over par- ' 1..... .. ...... ,.M..nt.A.i .....a ,.......1.. llilliy UKUlllHl a wiui.u n iu) liudiiuu ami uiuuKilh 50 the floor. Tlie inner door was pried open by means of a bar and wedges, ami the hinges cut off, which gave access to the Interior of the vault. The Herring safe, one of the best made by them, was next wedged and blown open. The bar on the Inside, which held the bolts, was blown olf. Tills safe, as stated above, contained the money belong ing to the bank, the amount being between f'JS,ooO and $:to,000, which tlie robbers secured. Iu addi tion to the property of the bank thero was a large amount of (luvermucnt securities, bonds, etc., which had been placed by parlies fur safe keeping, us else where noted, which was deposited In this safe, and which was also taken, the amount of which cannot now be ascertained, but is estimated by the oillcers of the bank to be about S'io.ow. No clue to the burglars has as yet been found, although the oillcers of the bank are putting fnrth every exertion to ferret them out and secure their apture. The telegraph has been freely used, and a tx' ward of f 5000 Is offered for the detection of the thieves and recovery of the property. It is reported that two men got on board the first night line at Jersey City last night who were pointed out to the conductors by detectives as "safe blow-4-rs." Karly this morning four suspicious-looking Individuals with curpet-bags were seen near the freight depot. Two men also got on the way train going east this morning, who were susplcioned. One of them got oir at Middletown, and the other is re ported to have been arrested at Jersey City. l'I.Afti: AIJ COnUGRCV, Orl'ICF. Or TIIK KVENINO Ttl.EQIlAPH, Weduwduy, Duo. I, lww.

Tho public debt, it is stated, has oeen reduced during the past mouth some seves or eight millions of dollars, makiug an entire reduction since the llth of May last of i,iisa,,278. At tue same rate the entice debt will 4e cancelled in the marvellously brief period of thlctcen years. General Hpluner, it is statcrf, now holds 75,478,8oo in Government bonds, subject to the final action of Congress. The annual lutereut on these bonds, amounting to t l,:W,Ti, is saved, though It will be paid to the credit of the Treasury account The reuarkably healthy condition of our national finances is producing a more settled fooling all over tho country : and unless Congress, by unwise med dling with the natural course of events, checks the present movement, the all-absorbing question of re sumption wlU find au easy solution.
