One jilntol resemblance between Mr. Weston ewd other urcat men Is Lis liability to troubles. J am willing to take it lor granted fiat be sjftriki UMh when ho pays that lie has kept aloof from tin price! pled men in order to devote himself, with greater purene.PS of heart, to hi profession. IHs name is not seen associated with the names of prize-fighters and athletic loafers, and the gentlemen who patronize his public performances are, by a pleasing preju dice, presumed to be "good old men." Take Mr. Greeley for a specimen. It is therefore pardonable in Mr. Wcfton to have felt some pride in himself and his profes sion, and taken every pains to make a success of the vLj'U which he contemplated paying I Furore. In order to insure thus success he ad dressed to the Ministers who represented' the United State at any prominent European court letters requesting them to use their influence in bis behalf. Among the gentlemen thus ad dre?ed are Mr. Jay, Minister to Vienna; Mr. Motley, Mi::iiter to London; Mr. Wushburne, Pari;" Mr. O.trtin, St. Petersburg: Mr. Ilancroft, Berlin; m il General Sickles, Madrid. Three of these gteal Tueu answered Mr. Wet-ton. These three are Washburne, Sickles and Jay. NVash burnc ai.d Sickles wrote polite notes, stating the cbauio U.t and against Mr. Weston's suc cess, and expressing their willlugness to help him b" every legitimate means tliat lay in their power. Mr. Jay sent a guarded reply, the sub stance cf which was that he did not think the United States Secretary of State would approve of his m'ng his oflielal influence in favor of such a step as that contemplated by Mr. Weston, aud that he advbed the pedestrian to apply to that ofliciai in relation to the matter. Thus the plca&aot prospect i3 opened of pedcstrianWm bccom'.rg :i matter of international negotiation ! "The Dog." The latl rumor in regard to tho Nathan murder l as more consistency than any other that had i-ret lonely been started. As, of course, you have long ere this been aware, the rumor is that Hie "dog" was stolen, about one year ago, from the Lcirtse of a man named Schcnck. List fall Mr Schanck's house was robbed by three burglars, two of whom nro now suffering, in prison, the penalty of their crime. The third one i.a said to be a man who wa3 arreted some days ago. who-e name is Eagan, and between whom and young Kelly an intimacy Is claimed by the got'ippers. At the time of the robbery this "dog," which had been nscd by Mr. Schenck (so run the story) for opening wine-cases, dis appeared. There arc one or two plausibilities In this ria ior. It leaked out first in that one of the New Yo;k newspapers which U most re uiaikaMe (or the character of its sensations. Upon Lis arrest Eagan wa3 locked up and closely waUhed. in hopes that something, tend ing to implicate him in the Nathan murder, woidd leak out. The fact of hla arrest could not be kept f rum tho reporters, but it was fondly Imagined that these gentlemen could be induced to keep quiet nntil Eagan's conduct 6hould furnish a clue surer than it has yet fur nished. Oio reporter, moro faithless in his ambition than the others, could not resist the temptation to make use of hla knowledge. He paw o splendid chance for "making a hit," and for bealibe his rcportorial brethren out of their reportor'al boots. I learned to-day, through a reporter iu whose word I place confidence, that thja dishonorably-used knowledge was the com mon proi erty of the reporters for three weeks, but that, by especial request of tho Superinten dent of Police, none of them had made use of it. Imagine Jourdan's disgust when he discovered that all hU pl:u3 had been thwarted through one reporter's meanness of spirit! It is no wonder that the New York reporter is so often regarded as the quintessence of mean trickery. The vile and vulgar liking for Eensation is at the bottom Of the impudence and want of honor which have become eharaeteiiutlc of the Bohemian. Amusement. Mr. Walter Montgomery, the English actor, Is staying at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He is about forty-tLree years of ago, was born (I think) at Oowanus. L. I., and returns hither for the first time. Possibly he may appear at one of the Is'cw York ;ucatres. Mr. Booth offered him an engagement to play in the Winter's Tale, but it is not likely that the offer will be accepted, tdnce Mr. ttooib himself will enact a character in that piny, and the part in which Mr. Mont gomery would be forced to appear is secondary. It is not car y for any stir actor to secure a New Yoik eugiit'fiiieut. At te principal theatres theseaiow? ire usually provided for, in advance, for twelve r eighteen mouths and at the smaller theatres the "support" Is so extremely bad that great indeed must be the animal spirits of the Star who would submit to it with cheerfulness.) Madame Seebach will arrive here the middle of ucxt week Mad'lle Nilsson about ten or eleven days later. They will stay at the Belvl dere House, which has recently been fitted up very magnificently, and is Intended principally for the accommodation of singers and musicians. There lives the bright and blithe Canissa, who has pre wu mature and matronly-looking. The bouse ts lit by the new kind of gas, beside which the common gas burns as faintly as a rush-light would burn beside the common gas were ruh-liuhts in ueo nowadays. Every room is supplied with an electrical contrivance, by means of which the office on the first floor can be Instantaneously communicated with, though wfctther this contrivance presupposes, on the part of those occupying the rooms, an intimate ac quaintance with telegraphy, I will not take it upon me to declare. The Olj inpic Theatre is to open to-night, with Mrs. James fates, Mr. G. L. Fox, and "Le Petit Faust." The San Francisco Minstrels commence operations next week. The week after that Ialj's Theatre swings wide its doors, and within two weds the regular season will be in full ilat alu.cxt everywhere. Ali Baiu.

AHyc, who, about a week since, was dh placed as chief clerk of the liureau of Steam Euglneerlrir of the Navy Department, which position he has held for some eight years or Diore, in which he alleges that the cause of bis removal was bis opposition to the chief of that bureau (Chief Engineer King) la the settlement of a contract, Involving several hundred thousand dollars, whereby the Government, he states, was being virtually defrauded out of about .'tO.OOO, by tslnj ICO l.';Cli engine, etc , ot tUe w':a Steam Engine Company, of Providence, R. 'a ila incompleted condition, and paying the full amount specified in the contract, while he could be compelled by bis contract to finish the en gine rtd erect it in a vessel for tte same amount of money. Thi3 matter was up before the Re trenchment Committee just previous to the ad journment of Congress, and before which Mr Allyn testified, and the committee aot finishing the investigation before the end of the session introduced a bill, which passed the last day of the session, stopping any payment to Mr. Cor liss until the amount, if any, justly due him was ascertained. The following is the letter, in which the writer gives a synopsis of the whole facts in the case, and sets forth charges against Chief Engineer King of a very serious character, which will doubtless bo Investigated. Washington, P. ('., Aug. 1, 1870 Vice-Admiral P. 1. Porter, I . N. N., Navy Department, AVushln? ton, 1). (.'. Sir; I have been removed from tne position of Chief C lerk of the Bureau or fttteam Kit pincuinir, not, I am confident, with your approval, lint ut the request or demand of Klnjr, the chief of that bureau, and for the reason that 1 was opposed to liis settlement of the Corliss contract for steam machinery, in relation to which I tost tried before the Joint Kelect Committee on Ketrcnchm)nt. I received my appointment some etirht years since. without soliciting tho position, aud during that time i nave served the (Jovernment and protected its in tercut to the lu tt oi my ability. 1 flatter mvgclf that during the time I have boon in the department I have saved the Government large amounts, one of which permit me to mention, an It u connected with th's matter. I caused to be deducted from Mr. Corliss' bill, for extra weight of boiicrx, the sum of t?M'0, his bill as sent to tho bureau being for $'!, ooo, Including and charging at the rate of iorty cents Per pound ( men was to uo tne price lor tue lu- creased weight of the boiler proper; for grate bars, doors, deck plates, smoke stacks, and other irott canting)), worth but live cents per pound, while the omerwiree contractors tor l no same additional weight rendered ttu-tr bills correctly, and never maite a claim for forty cents per pound for cist- irou. I opposed the settlement of the Corliss contract In tlie manner In which it wn made for the reason that, by taking the engines, etc., in their line m plcted condition, and paying hiir $ 1 40, (MO, Corliss would not only receive that, amount as a gratuitr. but that he would (as the testimony of experts be- loie i iu- Kbirent nmeut uommiiicc coneiumvelv show) have the additional amount of about J100 000 that they testify that It would have cost Corliss to complete his contract for the loo-liicii engine, thus receiving irom ine uovernmenr, without giving anv value, toe sum of $240,1)00. w line l (to not oiame Air. t;ornss nvno ts a shrewd business man for muklng the best settlement he could, 1 do assert that King, In engiueerlng the set tlement for coru.ss with tna secretary, ir so be the Secretary had anything to say about It or gave any orders, did not protect the Uovernnient. And, In passing, i wouiu siy tnur, from raets within my knowledge, I am confident that you had nothing to do with the settlement, and did not make the en dorsement on IJorliss' letter containing his proposi tion, whlcs purports to be yours, and which tou testified before the committee to be a forgery, i'he action of Congress In relation to this settlement of the Corliss contracts, viz., prohibiting the payment of any moneys to him until a competent brunl, after a thorotign examination, shall decide, what amount, II unv, is justly clue him, shows the opinion of Sena tors mid Hepresentatlvcn In relation to the Battle ment made by King. ab stated by you before the committee, it has never been usual for the Secretary of the Navy to examine into tue details oi tne settlement or contracts, lie relies upon the chief of the bureau to examine and to recommend, and, In most cases, the recommenda tion oi tne cnier or a bureau is conclusive with the Secretary :! hence, if tho settlement (at the time it van made) was an Improper one, the responsibility rests upon King, it, subsequent to tne settlement and the giving a certificate of Indebtedness, the Sacretary has seen tit to assumn the responsibility, that does not relieve King, but divides it between them. l know that King labored under great utmcuitr tn petting up his reply to tne Senate resolution aklng for Information In relatloD to the settlement of Cor- 118 contracts, for, by his direction, I drafted a reply, giving the actual facts; he objected to It, and, taking mv draft as a basis, he made and subse quently altered five dlll'ercnt replies to the Senate resolution before it was satisfactory to him, and finally the Secretary directed an alteration In the lust one. It took King six weeks to getliUrepir Into shape satisfactory to himself and the Secretary. Ann l assert tnat ne oni consult Air. coruss about his reply ; also, that King, In quoting from the re port of the board, insisted upnu omitting the words 'when completed'' that Is, that It would cost Cor liss to complete the luo-iuch engine f UO.OuO and erased those words In three of the copies and hid them rewritten. You can draw your ovn inferences why he desired to suppress those words. . 1 notice that he says In his evidence before the Committee on Retrenchment that he never saw the original report of the board of wnlctt Commodore Strong was President but once, and th ct was in vour oitlce. I assert that statement to be false. X know that be had the report for several days, and stated to roe that he hud studied it, and thought he un ter stood It; that he had shown it to eng. Beers, aqd he also had one of the clerks of the bureau make a copy of It. I address this communication to you, Admiral, that you may know the causa of my removal. And in this cotinection permit me to say tint the manner of removal was unusual in the Navy Department, lor, Instead of granting a short leave, at the expira tion of which requested to tender my expiration, or stating that my services were no longer required, the letter was drafted by King, and copied for hiia by an engineer, and worded for a peremptory dis missal, aiid by him taken to the Secretary for his signature. This unusual course was taken by King to graiiry his petty spite, thinking that It would tmuoy me and it would If It had been done by a gentleman. But he failed In his purpese: It Is not in hi power to annoy me. 1 do not address you with any desire to be rein stated, for It was my Intention several months since to resign, but my friends, in and out of the depart ment, remonstrated against my doing so. I would not again be In the same bureau wlt.l King. I have felt humiliated by being obliged, by my pislti9n, to come In-contact with him as long as I have.' lie Is ignorant; lacks intellect; his memory Is treacherous; lie la controlled by his prejudices: and, In niy opinion, Is utteily unfit to nil the position of chief of the 'Bureau cf Steam Knglneerlng. As chief of tr.e bureau he has discretionary power to expend one million dollars of public money dur ing the present fiscal year. I assert, from mv know ledge of him, that he has not the business capacity to expend it judiciously. One would suppose that any man possessed of self-respect, after reading your testimony before the Committee on Retrenchment In relation to King, woulr forthwith tender his resignation; but he is not the man to resign. lie procured the position by treachery to a member of the Engineer Corps who Is, in every way, his superior aud will hold on as loiur as possible. Appreciating the courtesy which yon have always extended x me during your omciai connection with the department, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, ' u. II. Allvk, Following this, the writer of the letter sub mits the evidence of Vice-Admiral Porter and himself, taken before the Retrenchment Com mittee, in July, to substantiate the charges The matter will create considerable sensation here before Congress at its next session.

In the Corps Leglslutif yes terday, when Count de Palikao announced the receipt of a despatch giving reassuring news, Deputy Keratry demanuad the date aud also wLcthcr the despatch was from Bazalue. Count do Palikao in reply said the despatch was dated on the 19th, but the uproar of the deputies was so great as to drown the answer touching the authorship of the message. Deputy Keratry then proposed that nine members of the Cham bers be chosen to form part of the Committee of Defense. Members of the Party of tho Left im mediately gave signs of approval, but the majo rity hesitated. Keratry claimed that the state of affairs urgently demanded It. Some of the members of the majority rose as approving, and several more members of the Left, which was accepted as establishing the urgency of the case. After tin tumult had subsided, Count de Palikao said the Committee of Defense was numerous enough as at present constituted. In the name of the whole Cabinet, he repelled tho proposal which had just been made. The question of confidence was thus esta blished, and the deputies retired to debate the matter. The affair has created a sensation, ns it is considered an attempt to interfere with the administration. The matter will be decided to-morrow. In the Senate yesterday a proposal was made to meet every time the Corps Legislutlf met, but this was defeated. The President will call meetings whenever in his judgment they are necessary.

The Soir says further, that Palikao is certain he will be sustained by the Corps Legislate, else he would aot have been so decided at the meeting yesterday. Encouragement of GnHnntry.
