The Tribune correspondent writes as follows from Rio de Janeiro under date of March 25: Tho News) nt IMo. On the 17th Inst, the capital was thrown Into a state of unusual excitement by the arrival of an hngllsh steamer from the South, brlnglug Hip start ling news of another i;ontcM In which the Allies had again most signally triumphed over their too obstl nuiu foe. Hut this time there was something more than that wonderful disproportion of loss among the combatants of course in favor of the Allies which has ever been the customary tale told since tho war began. I-opeii himself, and' his principal chiefs, Hud perished In the light, Airs. Lynch, with, her brood of little ones, alter some difficulty had been made prisoners, and the e-nttre I'nrnguayan force cither killed, captured, or had been put to flight. As the Kmperor was returning from the city palaec to Sau Clirlstovas, and was passing through Hua lielta, the people who filled the space in front of the Exchange surrounded the Imperial coach, and shouted enthusiastic vivas to his Majesty the Km peror, to Count d'Ku, and to General camara. His AlajeMv expressed his gratitude for these demon strations, and added: "Von maybe certain that tho war Is now ended." Crowds of people, headed by musical hands, and hearing the colors of the three allied nations, marched through the streets, shout ing vivas ami discharging rockets. All the public buildings were at once decorated witli nags, aud joy was upon every face. At night the city was splen didly Illuminated, aud the Kmperor, giving his arm to the Impress, and with the Imperial Princess at his side, went on foot through some of the principal streets, mingling freely with the people. J)om Pedro was everywhere received with the liveliest manifes tations of esteem and respect. 1 bo heme of the I.nst Conflict. Early on the morning of the 1st lust.. Lopez, with Kioo men, wrs surprised by a Brazilian force of the same size which encamped on the left bank of the Aquidavan, a stream twenty leagues to the south of the Apa, and, like the latter, a tributary of the Para guay. The Aqnldavan river is the same as the Aqni elavauigee traced on the map of the north part of Paraguay. To the north of the position where Lopez fonght his last battle is the town of San Salvador, and to the south of that of Concepoiou. The at tacking force, commanded by General Camara, was the finme which set out from Coucepclon on or about February 10 to overtake Lopez, upon tie receipt of news that the Dictator had already crossed the Apa aud was hurrying his night to Bolivia. Tlio Death of the Dictator. So Midden and Impetuous was the attack of the Brazilians that Ihe Paraguayans who guarded the artillery had no time to give the least warning. Lope. with those ofllcers who happened to be about luiii, tied frantically to form bis troops into line to re ael the assault, But before this could be done to a iy extent the Kio Grande horse were upon him, and Mb little party routed and driven to the nearest woods, where but few escaped. Lopez himself was killed In sight of General Camara, who In vain railed upon him to surrender. The ex-Dictator, already severely wounded, obstinately refused to yield, and meanwhile tried to escape. The thrust of a lance brought him to the ground. Camlnos, Minister of Lope., met a similar fate. Vice-President Sanchez was killed before being recog nized. Colonel Aqular, Majors Vargas. Ascurra, Estlgarrihla, Cardoso, Insfante, Solis, and various others also perished In the conflict. Colonel Lopez, eon of the .Dictator, was killed as lie was trying to escape with Mrs. Lyuch's party. Many chiefs were taken prisoners, including Generals Rcsquiu and Delgado, and various other superior ofllcers. Four Enetts were also taken, one of whom was the cele rated Mai.. General Cahallero, with some 40 men, almost ail officers, had, the day before, gone out from Cerro-Cora to gather up cattle; they were at tacked and beaten by Colonel Benito Marlius. T':e General, however, succeeded in escaping after abandoning everything he had, even to his sword. Valla and 8ouza, who were in charge of a baggage train at Chirlguelo, managed to escape, although their force was routed. Rccba, who was in the ad vance, with eight pieces of artillery, was also promptly beaten. Averlo ;took advantage of the gcneial confusion aud made good his escape. The Capture of Aladnme Ivnch. A few hours after the light Mrs. Lynch, who could not at first be found, was overtaken on the road, as nhe was endeavoring to escape with a small party, and made a prisoner, with her four sous, and the mother and two sisters of Lopez. The three last, Ai lulster Paranos states In his despatch, had beeu condemned to death, and the mother of Lopez was to have been executed the very day on which the lirazllians made their attack. The families ot Cahal lero, Canilnhus, and till were also taken prisoners, and all were to return with the Brazilian forces to Concopcion. Seventeen pieces of artillery are also reponed to have been captured, This shows that Lopez must have had a very large park of artillery with him timing the past year or so, or we must dis believe much that has been said aud written from time to t ine about the abandonment of all his heavy puns, aud the frequent throwing of cannon into the rivers on his Hue of march. Lopez left four sons by liis Morganitio marriage with Madame Lynch. The Character of Iopez. 'lie was a man of limited Information, but is said 1 1 have spoken English, French, and Spanish cor rectly, lie was corpulent but agile; agreeable In conversation with strangers, lolly ana arrogant with his own people. Ills physiognomy was more Spanish than Indian. Sometimes he dressed In the garb of Napoleon Uonaparte, a weakness also re lated of the first Dictator Francis, He wore his beard long, and was about live feet and eight Inches in height. During the long war just ended he is de clared to have shown military taleut of only an in ferior order. "If Lopez had placed himself at the head of his troops In the beginning of the contest." says the Standard of llurnoti Ajireg, "beyond ques tion he might have galnel possession of Kntre Klop, Santa Fe, and the Uanda Oriental. lie aacrltled a corps d'armce In bis badly-inspired ex pedition to Kio Grande. He lost an excellent oppor tunity to Involve General Paunero and capture a large park of artillery in the Province of Corrieutes. He destroyed his war vessel in the unequal contest with the Brazilian squudrou at ltiachuelo. lie wasted a portion of his best troops In the mad attack upon the Island or ltapiru. In a word, he com '-nit-ii 'be most fatal crioia. Utlll be had brave oH'uers and soldiers left, and the reverse of the allies on the 2Sd of September, ISM, at Curupalty, was an event from which he might have drawn great advantages.' T he ott-repeuted declaration that Lopez was a cruel tyrant seems now to bo generally admitted. His cruelties during the last two years have doubt less been exaggerated, and a proof of this is fur nished in the case of his mother, whom Brazilians spoke of as having been whipped by bis orders every day. But, unfortunately for his memory, he cannot be absolved from many other crimes of ferocious character, which are proved by un questioned evidence. Furthermore, be is de clared to have been no patriot, no true lover of his couutry. In August, 166T, Mr. Gould, the English representative to the Argentine Kepulillc, made overtures to him that were most honorable. The allies were ready to evacuate Paraguay if Lopez would retire to Europe and leave tho Government In tha hands of the vice-president. If lie bad accepted these ooudltlous, as In tlio begin ning he pretended he would, he might have associ ated his name with remembrances of glnrv aud patriotism, aud he might, perhaps, ere this have letumed to Paraguay in the quality of President dt the free choice of the people, in the last days of Itf. after the decisive contests of December, when further struggle had become hopeless, the true patriot, having at heart the interests and happiuess OI IliB 1TUUIU un.v J1C1U13U l.VUUI MIUU f Gl rult any Hiore blood to be shed on his account.

Michigan has had her first "colored jury." On the 5th lust, threo Irishmen were tried in Detroit for a: sault and battery, before a jury exclusively comiiofcd of colored citizens. The Irishmen feared that the prejudice their countrymen en tertain against Deurocs would bo reflected by the jury to their disadvantage, but tho case was fairly tried nnd the prisoners were acquitted. A crowd of loafers assembled In the court-room, awaiting an opportunity to make fun of tho jurymen, but lound themselves instead wit-nci-i-es of a decent and intelligent behavior which they might have imitated with proiit. An InterirlHlu Undertaker. A Nashvillo paper exults in the arrival in that city of an elegant new style of hearse for chil dren, "which is the handsomest piece of work of the kind we have ever seen." The body of the hearee, wo are told, is white with gold finish and trimmings of white alpaca with silver fringing. It is also mounted with a number of cheerful gilt urns, while on each side of the driver's seat is an elegant silver lamp. Another hearse oi similar pattern is soon expected in that city for tho benefit of adults. Tlio editor rcatarks that "the enterprising spirit of tho undertaker dererves to he appreciated." Cer tainly. Nashville is happy in having snch an undertaker and such hearses. Who wouUlu't die for the pleasure of being carted off in sliver and gilt and white alpaca with fringe, to say nothing of the urns oa top and the driver's lumps ' Ilnrk from the Tombu! A Southern paper attempts by a puff to instil life into that buried statesman Toombs, who in his palmy days expressed the screnest conOdenco that the good time was coming when he should call the roll of his slaves under tho shadow of Bunker Hill Monument. The recent ratification of the fifteenth amendment gives the slave driving gentleman of old a fine chance for rellec tion npou the uncertainty of earthly hopes. The detested chattel ,"nigger" twelve years ago is now his own political equal, and the black man ltevcls sits in the Senate, whtle Toombs, almost forgotten, as of another age and regime, vege tates in obscurity. Time rights many wrongs, and in the days when the' Southern oligarchy ruled the Senate, scarcely a decade hack, the nioet hopeful did fiot dream of so speedy a vin dication of truth and justice nt its hands. Toombs cannot rise again, lteqmiscat in -paw. t Only a Pauper. Certain supervisors, whose names are.fllvon in the Chicago papers, have rendered themselves infamous by an act of 'inhumanity to inmates of tho County Poor House. Finding more paupers than were desirable in that building, which 'is some miles distant from the city, ther -gavo notice to the women there that their children would be taken from them unless they left trie' premises forthwith. These poor creatures had no money, no friends, probably no means of procuring food or shelter; but they loved their offspring. On Wednesday morning last, several hundreds of these poor people thus excluded, with their children, carrying their babes in their arms, commenced their weary march to the city. By nightfall they had not all arrived, some of the women being in a delicate condition, and none fitted for travel. If there is no other ex planation of this piece of cruelty than the economy intended oy these supervisors, they may yet suffer from a loss of public confidence by which they may need the shelter whence the poor women are driven. It would be better for the gentlemen thus to receive their punishment for occasioning this exodus, rather than else where to be compelled "with uneasy footsteps to tread the burning marl." A Nice Place to Live. In one of the New Orleans dailies there is a standing heading "From the Parishes." Some notion of the character of news in the interior of Lousiana mav be obtained from that which is simply hcade'd "Ouachita." The first little anecdote is to this effect: A lady named Lilcs, being seriously ill, was dictating a will; her brother-in-law, John Wimberly, interrupted, in sisting that she should leave nothing to her sis ter, his wife, and that his reasons for this omis sion should be embodied as her own sentiments in her will. The gentleman who was drawing up the document declined to proceed with it under the circumstances, and walked out of the house. Looking up before leaving, he was in time to witness an altcrc.xtlon be tween Mr. AVlmbcrly and a Dr. Dink grave, terminated in a blow from the former and two pistol-shots from the latter, after which Mr. Wimberly lived about an hour. The second item same date and place, Monroe, SOth nit. mentions that fifteen or twenty mounted men appeared in the evening of the' day in front of the otlico of tho Sheriff. That functionary, a Mr. Wisucr, came to the door and was shot dend iustantly. Tho mod then forced the jail, shot and killed one of Its inmates, Anthony Johnson, aud liberated ono Beavers, confined on a chargo of having mur dered two freedmen in November, 1803. While tho mob-work proceeded the neighbors were warned to keep close within their houses on peril of their lives. Ttis is the vicinity, it will bo remembered, where the famous vendetta breaks out at intervals between two families, recently culminating in a number of murders among the survivors. It must ha a pleasant place of residence. IIOEKIBLE ACCIDENT. A Drunken JHnn'a Head Nmnahed-Tlirilllua iietuiiH. The New burg (N. Y.) Journal has the follow ing: At half-past 8 o'clock Monday night an un known man, in attempting to go from tho ferryboat unaiasKa to the Driuge on mo east side of the river before the boat had stopped, fell between tho boat and the bridge, and had ills head horribly crushed, so that several great gaps were opened in his skull, out of which the brains poured. The man came aboard the boat on the Newburg side, and was very drunk. Just before the boat reached the entrance to the slip on the Fishklll side he, in his drunken con fusion, attempted to walk off the west end of tho boat, supposing that he was going ashore. The hands of the Onalaska drew him back Inside the chains, and he was told to stay there until the boat should land. They then lost sight of blm until they were making fast tho boat to the bridge. He had walked off between the lvntit nil A the bridge, and thev cauorht a climnse of lilrn for a moment as ho seized the bridge with hlsbandB to save himself from dropping into the water. Then, as the boat touched the t.rinVn mine the horrible sound ot the crushlnir of the skull and one of tho arms, and the poor drunken wretch ceased to live. The order to reverse, tlm pnp-ine was promptly dven, and the boat was backed, but the intended relief ot course came too late. The corpse, covered with brains and blood, fell Into the water. The head was flattened by the force ot the concussion. : ine corpse was penuiucu w rciuaiu tu ue m. . I. I - OlK-rfc water, but wa secured by a rope. A DESPEBATE LOVER. He Follows hl Nmretlienrt Home and Gets hla Head llroke. Ve find the following narrative in the Louis ville Vvurirr Journal of Wednesday: Solomon Taylor, Joseph Hudsjn. and Louise rittnnn are the parties. Hudson loved Louise and was engaged to her, but this was many months ago. Louise discarded him. Though he knew he was discarded beyond remedy, it was n hard matter for hhn to reconcile himself to the fact, and while endeavoring to do so he continued to dog his sweetheart to and fro.n Lome and through the streets. It was a sad cafe of discarded lover, and called for the sym pathies of all the neighbors, which was willingly supplied, lu this way matters went on for some time. Last week Louise went to a ball and Hudson follow a her there. He danced in the samo set with her when he could get a partner, and when lie could not stood over behind the stove and watched her as she swung through the mazes, the belle of the occasion. When the ball was ocr she went home with Solomon Taylor, who Is one of the head barbers at the Wlllard Hotel. Hudson didn't object to this fellow so much be cause he was ouo of tho head barbers as that he had worked himself into Hudson's former place in Louise's affections. This enraged further the fellow, nnd he did not allow Taylor to accom pany her In peace. So ho followed them, keep ing about a square behind. When they arrived home it was 2 o'clock in the morning, but nev ertheless Louise asked Solomon in, and he went in. This, Hudson thought, looked suspicious. and he went up to inquire into it. Ho ripped at the door, and gave his name. Louise said he couldn't come in at that late hour. He replied, "1 ruiulit as well be in there as Sol. Taylor."' By this time Louise had let Solomon out tho back door, and ho was makinar off through the night, when Hudson, running around the house, grabbed nim. ihey laced one anotnef, ana, us they gazed, their eyes glared through the dark ness. Hudson remarked, ."Ibis is mighty strange," when, he says, Solomon struck him in the face and then on the head, with some heavy substance, and ran. This was all he remembers. It was afterwards fotind that his arm waa broken, and that ho had been severely cut upon the head and lace with a razor. This ended the matter. Louise knew nothinar of the bloody battle that raged without until next day. She was glad enough to have suc ceeded in smuggling Solomoni out so snugly. aud getting Hudson away from the front door to easily, and Elcpt well on her victory. On the next day Hudson had his rival arrested for cutting him with iutent to kill, and Solomon was bronelit before the City Court yesterday. when the facts were developed. A number of witnesses testified to Solomon's good character, among whom were Judge Bunch, Speaker of the House of liepresentatives, General Jackson, General Chilton, Mr. Hagan, and J. Hop Price. . The Judge said that, personally, he had no sympathy whatever with Hudson, and, in fact, no other man or lover who would doir his sweet heart through the street, and act at a spy upon her. He did not think the cutting wasdone mali ciously, and held the defendant to answer a misdemeanor. The parties are all negroes. GOVERNOR SEWARD. A Complimentary VIhH from HlnFetlow-Towna- The Hon. William H. Seward was entertained by the citizens of Auburn at a banquet yesterday. The distinguished statesman made the following re- Tark in response to a toast: if my life and your own lives had been merely do mestic, It would nevertheless, even in that case, have been a pleasant thing to meet you now In this balmy spring season, ami renetv tne pledges of a friendship of thirty or more years. I will not attempt to describe my emotion In receiving this visit from you, which opens afresh the domestic cares, anxieties, pleasnres, and sorrows of so long a period, intermingling everywhere wicn national trials, dangers, triumphs, ana calamities such only as fearful civil commotion and revolutionary war could have produced. l ou Know it is not my naou to awcit on tie topics of the past. You have reminded me that since we parted last I have been in some sort a traveller, and you greet me all the more cordially as a neighbor returned nome. i snouiu iikb, u it were convenient now, to speak to yon of the glaciers, mountains, forests, aud table lands; of the mines and caves; of the cataracts, rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans, their majesty, beauty, ana riencs; oi Mates beginning. Slates begun, er States growing, of States strug gling, oi Mates rising, ana oi Mates uusotvtng to recoinf-oae themselves again; of men and races, Indian, African, Asiatic, and our own; their char acters and warns, powers in the complex system of American republican civilization as I saw nature and mau in the field. I have surveyed from tne Arctic to Wie Equator, and between the two oceans. The lmpinse to utter ance on that line lortities itself by recalling certain promises to speak without reserve here in Auburn ; promises which 1 made to all these sorts aud condi tions of men, with a view to moderate my expres sions of gratitude, not less suggestive thau oppres sive on the spot for welcomes received In Nebraska, British Columbia, Alaska, California, Cuba, and Mexico. But, gentlemen, you have promised me that this visit shall be an Informal one; moreover, I have scarcely recovered from the chill which the March snows gave me on a too sudden arrival here from the West Indies. Letltsuillce to say that everywhere within the United States and without the United States I found In political institutions, and in the current of politi cal events, and In the progress of order, freedom, aud humanity, a full confirmation of the principles, Eolicles, and seniimon'-s in which the people of Au urn aud Syracuse have educated themselves, aud wnicn. without snnuKiug irom ine saennce oi ore and fortune, they have so long maintained. Gentlemen, I have trusted you long, and you have adhered to me wlih perseverance. Let us thank God with humility and reverence for the Meseinir of such a friendship, and hone and trust that it may continue to the end of our days. Gentlemen, the first century of our national exist ence is drawing to a close. While the seals of the second century are being opened, we shall be pass ing away, iteiyingon tne ueneucence or uoa ami tho progress of humanity, let us hope, without doubting, that oor successors will bo wiser and better man we nave oeen ; uiai neuceiorui me re former of the nation may never be found lacking in patience, the patriot in zeal, the soldier lu pru lenec, or the statesman in constancy; and, above all, that the nation Itself may never distrust its own gracious destiny.

Mr. Howard, from the Committee on tho Pacific Railroad, presented ami asked for the printing of a voluminous report of tes timony taken by a sub-committee relative to the bouthern Transcontinental Railroad Company. Mr. Hnnincr, from the Committee on Foreign Re lations, reported adversely the bill to pay a Mr. Mckenzie 144,000 In addition to t-VX)0 already paid blm fur defending Fenian prisoners. The Senate then took up Mr. Chandler's resolution directing the President of the United States ts ap point commissioners to open negotiations for the annexation of the Winnipeg district as a Territory or State. Mr. Chandler said he had offered the resolution In the interest of peace and good-will, and pro ceeded to show the reasons upon which negotiations should bo commenced. First. That that Government had shown its right to recognition by maintaining itself for some time against all at tempts for its suppression. Second. That our own free republic, which had Invited the whole world to come In and occupy the entire continent, could not countenance the theory of a dominion on onr borders; that snypartof this continent belonged to the crown. Third. That the Injury inflicted upon us in the haste of the British Government to ac knowledge the Rebels as belligerents opon tho breaking out of the Rebellion, and her spoliations upon our commerce during the war niuat now be re paired and made good. Ills friend from Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner) might apprehend that the Alabama claims would be complicated by this proceeding. His answer to that was that he (Chandler) had long since put on record against tho British Government a mortgage on tho dominion lying north of the United States of two thousand two hundred millions of dollars, one half the expenses of our war. The time had not yet arrived for foreclosing the mortgage; we would now proceed to collect the Interest. He then referred to the vast territorial extent and population of tho Winnepeg district, the people of which, as also the people of British Columbia, were now asking with an almost unanimous voice for admission to the Union. Four years ago the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner) had not come up to his own position on the Alabama claims, but he now concurred with him that Great Britain was justly and equitably bound to pay us one-half the expenses of our war, by reason of her course during the Rebellion. Mr. Drake remarked that his friend (Mr. Sumner) had probably set a "peg'' higher aud got to 'Winni peg.'' (Laughter.) House. The House proceeded to the call of committees for bills of a private character, and nnder the call vaiious bills were reported and passed, among them a bill to relinquish to the city of Dubuque, Iowa, the title of the United States to cortatn lots of ground Including what is known as the Grave Yard. Mr. Knott, from the Committee on Private Land Claims, reported a bill in relation to the llol Springs Reservation of Arkansas, allowing the question of title to be decided by the Court of Claims, and ad dressed the House in explanation and support of it. 1 Mr. Julian opposed the bill, claiming thatthe lands in question were exceedingly valuable, and that their title was in .the Ooverument of the United States. , Mr. Butler (Mass.) said be was informed that, together with the springs, the reservation was w rth a million dollars. Mr. Orth was arguing In snpport of the bill when the morning hour expired, aud the bill went over till to-morrow. Mr. O'Neill presented a communication signed by tnany citizens ot the Second Congressional district of Pennsylvania, urging congress not to re-enact the income tax.' Mr. lngerson inquired of the Speaker as to the po sition of the Washington and New York Air Line Railroad bill on the Speaker's table. The Speaker said it was of the last class or busi ness that would be reached on going to the Speak er's table. Mr. ltigcrsoll further inquired as to the time When it would probably be reached. The Speaker replied that the gentleman from Illinois could make a guess ou that subjact as well as the Chair. Mr. Schenck, referring to his absence from the House yesterday, said that he perceived it had boon s ated that he was not well, lie did not wished to be excused uutler false pretenses. Although not very well, he had Intended to be present, and to go on with the Taritr bill, but had yielded to the request of visitors from the State who wished him to accompany them to Mount Ver non. He had thought himself entitled to so much reereatlon. Mr. Dawes (Mass.) said he bad sta ted on that point precisely what was in the note which he had re ceived. The HonBe then went into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff bill, Mr. Wheeler in the chair, resuming the bill at the following 'paragraph as amended : On cast and scrap iron of any descrip tion, five dollars per ton ; on wrought scrap iron of every description, six dollars per ton. Provided, That nothing shall be deemed scrap iron except waste or refuse iron that has been in actual nse and is lit only to be remanufactured. Mr. Butler (Mass) withdrew his pendtng amend ment, which was to substitute the word "or" for the word "and," and offered another amendmebt to in sert the word "or" before the words "that has been in actual nse." He explained and advocated the amendment which was ollorcd by Mr. Schenck, KVENINO TFXBORAPH OPPICX.l Ifridaj, April 22,1870. i The dullness noted in monetary circles during tho week still continues, and there are lew symptoms of improvement in any direction. Business men are operating with extreme cau tion in view of the uncertainty which surrounds tho future both of finance and trade, and the effect is very perceptible in the loan market. The amount of strictly first-class commercial paper was never smaller at this period of the year, and this feature is not conllned to this market alone. The rates as a matter of course are easy to borrowers, and almost nominal. The (iold market is fairly active, but tho pre mium Is weak, opening at 118 and decliniug to 112. Sales about noon at 112. In United States securities the transactions are light and prices have declined in sympathy with the downward course of gold. There was a slight revival of the business at the Stock Board to-day and prices were stronger. City sixes sold at 102 for the new certificates. Reading Railroad was In good demand, with sales at 4'J 5tlf5)4J C9. Pennsylvania Railroad was steady, nnd sold at 58,(5)58. Sales of Camden and Amboy at HUJft Minehlll at 63'; Lehigh Volley at 50; Northern Central at 47ii, Oil Creek and Allegheny sold freely at Miscellaneous stocks move slowly, the only sales being Hestonvillo Railway at 13.

Y. fllOXKY MARKET YESTERDAY. From the X. Y. Herald, "It is a sign of the times when reports and rumors which ordinarily would have produced groat excite ment ami wide fluctuations In values pass almost unheeded In Wall street. Added to the feeling of dullness Is one of skepticism among the operators who 'most do congregate' in the vicinity of the Stock Exchange and Goid Room. Had these latter Indi viduals not been veterans In the strategy of Wall street they would have betrayed very juvenile sen sations when the street was Hooded, as it waa to day, with rumors of a war with Spain. "It was reported that the Cabinet was In important secret session, and that orders had been issued to the naval depots to lay in stores and to naval oillcera to report to Mielr ships for duty. Before this time gold nad declined to 112', upon the lowerrates for exchange and upon highc 'atlous for flva twcutles lu Loudon win-' bank statement showed a loss of only 4;i.ih .1 specie during the past week. The Washington telegrams, however, rallied the price to 1 13V;, which point was barely touched, as the skeptical and incredulous dealers in the Gold Room laughed at the news and sold gold to all who were willing to buy on the strength of the Information. Afterwards the market declined to 1 13 upon the posting of the following announcement at the Sub-Treasury: " 'Unitku Statks Tiifastjrt.New York, April 31, 1870. Br direction of tbs Secretary uf the Treasury till, office will on Monday, April 25, commence the payoiontot tho iuter&at tailing due on May 1, IS70, without rebate. 'CHARLES J. I OLGF.R, Assistant Treasurer.' "This action of the Government In prepaying the May Interest was generally expected and seems to bave been discounted, for the price rallied anil closed at 113V- The market left off very dull, and both sides of the speculative contest proclaim It a drawn battle. It is supposed that the clique en deavored to unload upon the Spanish war news, but as the price fell bo rapidly to 113 the conjecture is probably only partially correct. The market at the close to-night resumed Its wonted dulness, showing that it is very difficult, in the present Inactivity in llnancial circles, to inspire any of the markets with life."
