The Terrible Shipwreck on the English Coast Reception of Secretary Bout weirs He port In Ger manyIt does not Slake a Favor able Impres sion. ENGLAND. Milpwree.k on the Goodwin Rand. London, Dec. 24. Everybody has heard of the treacherous "(Joodwln Sands'' and of their fatal character to unwary or inexpert mariners. An exciting shipwreck occurrod there last Thursday. On the morning of that day, during strong northeasterly gale, a vessel was seea to have (truck on the sands. The Ratmgnte tcamcr Aid and the lifeboat Bradford there upon proceeded out to her through a vory heavy cross sea. On arriving near tho oust kodwin buoy, about a mile and a half from the wreck, which was found to bo n the Southeast Calliper Sands, the lifeboat was slipped from the steamer, when sail was mado nnd she proceeded towards the vessel through a terrific sea. On arrlvlug within fifty fathoms tho anchor was let go and she was veered away towards the vessel's port quarter, three or four f the crew being seen on that part of the ves sel. With their assistance a hawser was got into the lifoboat, nnd after very great exertions on the part of tho lifoboat men the boat was hauled to within ten or twelve fathoms of the wreck; but the mountainous sea and strong eddying tide prevented them getting any closer. The ehip was fast breaking up, and mafits and spars falling; aud the master thou made an attempt to reach the lifeboat by sliding flown tho hawsers, but when half way between tho boat and his vessel a very heavy sea swept bim away. fortunately he fell within a few yards of the boat, and succeeded in grasping a lifo buoy that was thrown to him. There being no time to spare, it the men left on board the wreck were to be aved, the lifeboat men were compelled to leave him for a time, aud they then made some desperate attempts to get nearer tho vessel. Meanwhile one of her crew followed the mas ter's example, and came down the hawser, but ho also was washed away, being, however, got safely Into the lifeboat. There now re mained only one man and a boy on the wreck; tho former made a rope fast round his body and plunged into the water, but, notwithstanding every exertion made to B'lve Lim, he unfortu nately sank and was drowned. The poor boy was now the only one left, and his screams to the lifeboat mcu to save him were heartrending. For half an hour tho brave fellows made every effort to do so. Then a tremendous eea struck the ship, nearly broko her in two, nnd the lad was washed overboard. The cable of the lifeboat was then cut and she steered clear of the wreck, when providentially tho boy tloatcd near the boat, wa3 seized by the boathook. aud hauled in. lie was then apparently dead, but after some time tho men succeeded in bringing him to. A search was then made for tho master, and ho was found floating with the life-buoy amid the breakers, and nf er several attempts he also was saved, although in a very exhausted state. Tho lifeboat then joined her consort the steamer aud pro ceeded with the rescued men to Ramsgate harbor, where she arrived early in the afteruoou. GERMANY. Mrrrrlnry Itontwcll'n Heport on tho Frank fort Bourse Pales of United State Securities uniericim Competition lor Capital. Frinkkokt, Dec. 28. The financial report of Mr. Boutwcll has not made a favorable impres sion. The excellent state of tho finances was known beforehand; but tho corroboration of the reports about a reduction of tho interest in duced nmny holders to sell. Money Is now worth five to sir per cent, in this country for tho yery best investments, and the time is, therefore, ill chosen to offer four and a half per cent, interest on foreign bonds. The high price of Eng lish consols and French rentes has nothing to do with the question, for our people do not buy them. They are mostly lor long years in tho same hands, who keep them; and, though everybody might admit, with the Secretary for Finance, that the credit of the United States is equal to taat ot the very best States, there is 60 largo a demand for capital for railway purposes in Germany, Austria, aud Rus sia that the immense majority of American bond holders will not accept for tho present aa inte rest of four aud a half per cent., and that Mr. Boutwcll ought to bo satisfied that French and English capitalists will step in for German holders before he coiacs forward with his pro posal. Besides European bonds there Is such a com petition for capital on our market on account of American States and companies that people will find no dilllculty in investments. There are seven per cent. California State bonds sold this week at OSJ; St. Louis city bonds, six per cent., are sold at 7(5. Chicago and other currency bonds and the long, ever-increasing list of rail way mortgage bonds all offering seven per cent.' on their bonds at 70, an oiler of four and a half Jer cent, on United States bonds has not the cast chanco of being accepted. The conse quence of a failure of the attempt once mads will be most fatal and tell heavily on the pre mium of gold. I am certain that of all con coctors of this 111 timed protect, not a single one will engage for a large sum of four and a half per cent, to take them at par or some per cent, below from your Minister; all they want Is to try whether they can make a profit by a com mission without any risk. They, at least, ought to know better, as five per cent, ten-forties re deemable in 1874 are sold here at eighty-seven per cent. "PAR EXCELLENCE" AND IIIS COAT. William Horace Ilnrnrt In Court Tin Clmros ilia Urciwir witb (stealing His Wardrobe. as a complainant, charging that Henry Sinclair, bis dresser, who sometimes appears in the role of "Khadamanthus" in the play of Pluto, had been appropriating a largo number of his shirts, collars, handkerchiefs, neckties, a seal-skin coat valued at 475 in gold, and worn by Llngard in bis character of the "Swell Par Excellence;" also a purple velvet vest presented to him by Jay Gould. Mr. Llngard stated that about eight months ago, while performing in Boston, he surmised the prisoner was pilfering from him aud dis charged him, but upon his making un engage ment with Prince Erie, at the Grand Opora House, he again took him in his employ. On Wednesday night, Sinclair fulling to put in an appearance, "Captain Jinks" was greatly disap pointed, and commenced examining his ward robe, when the above articles were found to be missing. At the conclusion of the performances Detec tives McCafferty and Butcher, of the Sixteenth precinct, proceeded to the sample room of Sandy fipencer, on Broadway, an uncle of tho prisoner stud former partner of Llngard, where he found tho prisoner, who was arrayed in the vest, shirt and collar of his employer. He admitted taking the coat and gave up the pawn ticket for it, stating lui had pawned It in the Bowery, under the name of Johnson, for fifteen, dollars. He was taken to the station-house and in carcerated for tho balance of tho night, and yesterday mornlug arraigned before Justice fchandleVj where a complaint was preferred against him by Llngard, to which he was com mitted to answer in default of $1000 ball, la bis informal examination he stated he was twenty-three years of age, born in New Jersey, resides lu Now York, by occupation a dresser, and In reference to the charge stated: "I did not look ou it as stealing. 1 expected to return the property before any fuss was made about it." Upon cxauilulng the trunk of the prisoner at the Yesterday morning W illiam Horace Llngard, alias 'JinKS," appeared before Justice Shandiey, at tho Jefferson Market Police Court. New York. Westminster House, where it had been left as security for his board bill, Llngard identified several wigs, silk leggings, shirts, etc., which had been stolen from Lis dressing-room at the Grand Opera House. HADES IN THE WOOD. fnl Fnte of the Wynockle Chllrlrr-The Three urml lieoiea t'ouno on no niougwim On New Year's Day, three children, sons of Mr. Joseph Wyhle, a respectable laboring man, residing near Ponipton, la Passaic county, N. J., at the base of the Wvnockio Mountain, left home for the purpose of "going nutting" in the woods on the mountain. It was 4 o'clock when they left home, so that their failure to return before nightfall occa sioned but llttlo alarm. After that, hawever, their continued absence rendered the distracted parents almost frantic. Tho fearful rain storm which prevailed during the ulght and part of next day fearfully intensified tho feelings of the bereaved father and mother, inasmuch as their little darlings had not yet been seen nor heard irom. On Monday a search was made by a number of the country people, but nothing could be dis covered of the whereabouts of tho missing children, whoso ages were respectively ten, seven, and five years. The entlro neighborhood nt length joined In tho search, and It was not till Tuesday last that tho mystery was solved. The innocent trio were found lying dead, side by side, on the south side of tho mouBtaln, some ten or eleven miles from their homo. It was quite thickly covered with timber where tho bodies were discovered. From the appearance of the latter It is thought that the children ex isted for several days on the nuts they had gathered previous to being benighted, and hav ing lost their way were overtaken by physical exhaustion and starvation, which resulted in death! The bodies were removed to the home of their heart-broken parents, for whom the entire community evince tho deepest sym pathy. CITY mxiiLLiuiin CIS. CITY FINANCES. Annual Report of the City Controller. City Controller Hctz yeBterday submitted to Coun cils a great mass of statistics, representing tho con dition of our Ununces. The report sets forth that the expenses ot tho city during 1869 amounted to 114,013,124. This sum includes loans of various kinds, leaving the actual expenses of the depart ments at ffi,477,24G. The loans redeemed during tho year amounted to 1102,598, and the funded doit of the city on the 1st ot January, 1870, was $42,401,939. The cash balance in the Treasury on January 1, 1870, was $1,6(14,012. The Controller makes some very Im portant suggestions In his report, it says: The amount of unpaid taxes upon the books of this department has awakened a lively interest In your honorable bodies, and deserves prompt atten tion and necessary legislation to prevent an accumu lation ot indebtedness to the city of a like character In future years. By reference to the schedule of outstanding taxes, It appears that the amount of Jf3,8S5,0fl.vi is due the city for taxes prior to January 1, 1KC9, yet from a careful examination of tho bo oks of the Department of Receiver of Taxes, I am satis lied that the same Is largely In error. Tho amount estimated to be received Into the City Treasury is bused upon tho rate of those levied upon the aggre gate amount of property furnished by tho Hoard of Revision or City Commissioners in previous years from the assessors' oooks, but is never realized, for the following reasons: First. The false basis upon which the estimate is made. It Is plainly apparent that in the valuation of property, as made upon the bonks of the asses sors, thousands of dollars' worth of property Is In cluded which has been exempted from taxation by either general or special legislation, viz.. churches, public Institutions, colleges, cemeteries, etc. Properties have been assessed in duplicate that Is, fronting on two streets, and assessed upon each frontal. Errors have been made In copying the du plicates, etc.. which errors are only discovered when parties are about settling their hills, and have been rectified by the City Commissioners or Board of lie vision granting certificates of allowance. The de ductions from or additions to the original returns of tho aggregate valuation of property to this depart ment have never been returned to the Controller. Consequently, credit has never been given for said corrections, and outstanding taxes are still debited with them. Second. The utter impossibility of collecting a large amount of taxes that are nearly due and should be paid, aud It Is here whero the faulty and bungling manner of making the assessment is most apparent.' The inefficient manner of locating and describing properties assessed, the neglect of ascer taining tho names of the owners of properties at the time of the assessment, act as a bar to the collection of taxes due by the filing of a Hen. In the collection of unpaid taxes upon tne books of tho department the custom has been that, after a lapse of five years, liens are filed BgalDst the property, but from the faulty descriptions obtained from the assessors' books the same are set aside or fall valueless, aud the city not only sutlers the loss of tho tax levied but the cost of suit likewise. In the assessment o( the value of personal pro perty, tho death, removal of the owner, or sale of the same makes the tax a totul loss. The whole default may therefore be traced and made chargeable to our system of assessment, ttio assessors themselves, In a majority of cases, being totally incompetent to perform their highly responsible duties, aud the w hole ; stem, as now In practice, is a farce upon a well-ordered financial system tht oug'it to prevail. The Controller then states that the ceatlon of the Board of Revision bus tended to correct a number of the abuses above referred to, but It is suggested that further legislation is required to enable the board to accomplish all that is deBired. Local Odds ano Ends The lee men still cherish a hope of a colder dav a-comlug.

This was postponed, and Mr. I'roctor continued to dispose of his goods as agent. On Tues day of last week Mr. Moore on calling at the store found that ho was absent. Nothing was thought of this, and Mr. Mooro patiently awaited his return. Not putting In an appearance up to Monday last, Mr. Moore became alarmed and called upon the wife of Mr. l'routor, who informed him that she kuew nothing as to his whereabouts.

"There waB a perrect cessation of hostilities to day between the dtil'ercnt parties In the Gold Room, and It Is likely that no farther dispute or trouble will arise with the Gold Bank, inasmuch as all deal ers possess the privilege of making their clearances through that lnstitntiou.or privately with each other as they choose. The clearances to-day were only twenty-eight millions, and hence the inference that the bank has lost considerable patronage: but a portion of the decrease Is doubtless due to the dul ness of yesterday's business. The market to day was heavy during the Board, and the price, which opened at 121Ji, declined to I'ilV. Lato iu the afternoon a telegram from Paris announced col lisions between the citizens aud police, and In the apprehension or a civil war in France the price of gold suddenly ran up to 122J. From this point it declined again to 121V, the brokers being inclined to ridicule the news; but despite their levity the mar ket was feverish and sensitive, the sale or purchase of comparatively small amounts easily eiieotiug a fall or rise between the limits of nil )i aud 123. i "Holders or gold paid rrom 8 per cent, to 1-82 to have their balances carried.

A despatch received here from Iowa states that a Republican legis latlve cauens which met- to day, Judge Wright was nominated for U. S. Senator for the term commencing March 4, 1871, and J. B. Ilowell to serve out the unexpired term of Senator Grimes Iowa Senators. It is expected that a vote will be roached in both houses to-day on the admission of Virginia. It is thought that Mr. Bingham's resolution for unconditional admission will be adopted. Opposition to Hnmnrr'a Bill. Senator Samner's financial bill is likely to meet with strong opposition from the Secretary of the Treasury, who thinks it discriminates in favor of foreign holders of our bonds. It gives five per cent, interest to tho Five-twenties of 1802, nearly all of which are held abroad, while other issues are put down at four and a half per cent. Secretary Boutwell is of the opinion that it will be easier to negotiate a loan abroad at a low rate of interest than at home. The Finance Committee of the Senate are against Sumner's bill. The Tax on Coal. Despatch to tht Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 14. The Committee Ion Ways and Means to-day refused, by a vote of two against six, to make bituminous coal free; rejected the motion of 50 cents per ton; by three against five, and tho proposition of a dollar per ton was lost by a tie vote. Coal, therefore, re mains as now. General Campbell, Governor of Wyoming, is here to procure legislation for the Territory rola- tive to the Indians, and other objects. ' J IV UK IBS S. FOKTV-FIRST TEltBI SECOND SESSION Heaate. Jan. "14 Petitions were Washington, pre scrted by Mr. Hauilln for an appropriation in support of tho destitute poor of Washington. By Mr. Scott, from the Lehigh nnd Schuylkill region of Pennsylvania, setting forth that the Special Commissioner of Revenne in his report had incorrectly estimated the cost of the manu facture ot pig iron. By Mr. Drake, in favor of.'the abolition of the franking prlviltge, who declared himself not only in favor of the proposition, but wished to incorporate with it another reform by discon tinuing the immense publications of public documents, thereby lessening the expenses of the Government. Mr. Pratt, from the Judiciary Committee, re ported favorably the bill relative to the acknow ledgment of deeds In the District of Columbia. Mr. Willey introduced a bill to abolish the franking privilege, and to establish the letter carrier system in cities of five thousand inha bitants. Referred to the Committee on Post Unices and Post Konds. Mr. Scott offered a resolution requesting the Secietary of the Treasury to comniunicuto to the Senate tho information or data upon which the Special Commissioner of Revenue had based his statements relating to the average cost of the manufacture of American pig iron In the valley of the Cumberland nnd the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania. Uhe dineusslon was farther continued by Messrs. Sherman, Cole, and Casslday, and. without action on tho motion, the Virginia bill wrs taken up, the question being on Mr. Ed munds amendinont, oliered yestcrav, and Mr. Conkllng rpcalung against it. House. Immediately after the reading of the journal, mo uoue rcsumua mu cousiucrauon oi tne Vir einiablll. Mr. Fitch expressed his regret that Virginia had not been admitted to political equality in the Union at tho same time with Geonrla. lis believed that it would have been better for Vir ginia, better for tho country, and belter for the Republican pnrty. lie was quite convinced that no act could lie done so hurtful to the Re publican party, so injurious to the best Interests of the whole country, and so especially damag ing to the speedy -and honest reconstruction of the South, as to exact now from Virginia any other or political conditions than those pre scribed by the act of April last. The war had been waged to build up, not to demolish; to protect, not to destroy; to disen thral, not to disfranchise. If they should give to simulated apprehensions and to the spleen of disappointed politicians such legislation as was embraced in the bill, in violation of tho Implied compact, in exeess of previous.eondltions, and not nceewary for any M" . they would - -' " , y. Impose whatever, com,... -vi o endorsed by the peoplo. The mp of April last was to the effect that It virirliiia would provide in her State constitution for giving colored men the right to hold office, she would be admitted. She had fulfilled that condition, and now it was proposed to admit her, with a fundamental condition that she would not change or niter her Constitution in those particulars. Did not gentlemen on tho Republican side of the House see that they were measurably giving away their position, that they were surrendering their fort roes to the enemy, when they admitted that Vir ginia conld change her organic law by disfran chising her colored citizens? He appealed to his own sklo of tho nouie to bo logical if not mngnanlmous, wise if not confiding. Why should they insult and haraps and worry and destroy that unhappy Commonwealth ? What has she done to deservo such treatment ? She was a State that had given four Presidents to the republic; that had entered with hesitation into the conspiracy to- destroy tne uovernmcnt, ana wnose people had been punished as never people had been pun ished for their folly and their crimes. Shorn of raiment, despairing, sho stood at tho door of the Capitol, meekly asking not to shape the policy of the country, not to fiU the capital with her sons and retainers, bnt for the right to rule herself and to shape her own local laws. For himself he would not "laugh at her calamity, nor mock when nor fear cometh," Republican though ho was. She was a part of his country, and he would not insult her sor row. On the contrary, ho could find no words for her but those of welcome, and confidence. and cheer. Mr. I'tieon. a member of the Reconstruction Committee, stated that he had concurred in re- portr-.r the bill from the committee, and that he would voto for its passage because he believed that all its provisions were necessary, reason able, nnd just. Mr. Hawley supported tho bill, and would even exact further conditions from Virginia if his vote could secure them. Mr. Asper said he had been originally In favor of admitting Virginia without conditions, hut ho was now induced to believe that the interests and liberties of the whole people of that Stato were not safe if she were admitted without eon diilons. He would support this bill, and if the conditions were struck out he would vote against the admission of Virginia. " Mr. Ward, from tho Reconstruction Commit--tec, referred to tho singular position in which the bill was placed by the action of the gentle man from Illinois (Mr. Farnsworth), who had been deputed by tho committee as its organ to present tho bill to tho House. He was surprised to hear the opposition made by that gentleman to the provisions imposing an oath upon the State officers. The committee had reported the bill in good faith, with the understanding that the gentleman from Illiuoisshoiild defend it in the Houeo. If that gentleman could not consistently do so, he should hare passed it over to soma other gentleman on the committee tor Instance, to Mr. Bcnman who would defend it and press it to a vote. Mr. Farnsworth said thnt he had pursued in the House the courso which he had iutimatcd in the coinn lttce he should take, advocate the bill wiih the exception of the provision in regard to the oath. It seemed to Lim that the members of the committee who had thus far addressed the House, except Mr. Upson, had not advo cated the bill as mnch as he had. When tho pentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Paine) was ad dressing the House, he (Mr. Farnsworth) had been inquired of as to which side that gentle innn was on, and upon a careful examination of his speech since, he was at a loss to determine whether the speech was in favor of the bill or against it.
