The Secretary of the Treasury has or dered the payment of $ 242,107-1)7 to Penn sylvania, being an instalment of the war in demnity for raising troops. There are many expressions of disap proval In Canada relative to the Washington Treaty, especially that portion which relates to the fisheries question. Resumption in the Schuylkill region may be considered as an accomplished fact, as nearly all the collieries there will be working to-day, and, coupled with this, the Reading Railroad Company has reduced its tolls, with the proviso that they will be again advanced if the resumption proves to be not general. The umpire, Judge El well, arrived at Potts ville yesterday afternoon, and his presence may prove quite salutary, as some few miners, especially in the vicinity of Tamaqua, evinoe a disposition not to live up to their tacit agreement. At Hyde Park, in the vicinity of Scran ton, in the Lehigh region, some labor ers, yesterday, heavily armed and under the protection of the military, prooeeded to the mines and entered, being cheered by the citi zens as they did so, and, although the emis saries of the W.

Bonds of the city of Paris loan, to the extent of 750,000 francs, have been stolen. The National Guards decline to maroh, and talk of opening the gates to the Versail lists. The Congress of Munioipal Deputies which was to meet at Bordeaux has proved a failure. The Parisians have been expelled from the trenches between Forts Vanvres and d'Issy. A battery is being erected in the garden of the Tuileries, to pour a flank fire into the Champs Ely sees. The Committee on War has been re placed in consequenoe of its differences with the Central Committee. From Paris comes the assertion that a wide-spread conspiracy exists in that city for the overthrow of the Commune. . The gardens of the Luxe mbourg'are closed to the public, and occupied by a military force, in anticipation of a rising'on the part of the populace. M. Beslay, who has been called the Father of the Commune, retires from the membership of that body, whose fall appears to be close at hand. By the recent treaty of peace the French are to restore all ships captured during the war, or refund their value in cases where the vessels have been sold.

F. WESliS. PINANOIAU. GREAT NATIONAL LOANS. NEW FIVE PER CENT. BONDS OF TIIE UNITED STATES. The Treasury Department is now able to promise that the registered Certificates of Stock, and a good part of the Coupon Bonds of the New Loan of the United States, bear ing Five Fer Cent. Interest, payable quarterly in Gold, will be ready for delivery early in the present month. The Subscriptions to the Loan now amount to $02,000,000, and it is expected that the Subscriptions and Sales will progress more rapidly when the Certificates and Bonds are ready for market abroad as well as at home. The whole sum of Five Ter Cents offered to the publio generally, and to the holders of United States 5-20 Bonds, without qualification, is $200,000,000. When this amount, to which preference is thus given, is taken up, the remainder of the Five Per Cents, $300,000,000, embraced in the New Loan of July 14, 1870, for refunding the Publio Debt, will be offered in connection with $300,000,000 Four and One-half Per Cents, and any part of $700,000,000 of Four Per Cents, the one running fifteen years, and the other thirty years. The following is a copy of the New Five Per Cent. Bond, under and pursuant to the New Loan Act of Congress: FORM OF 5 PER CENT. BOND. INTEREST FUNDED LOAN OP 1SS1 5 FER CSNT. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE INDEBTED TO TDE BEARER IN THE SUM OF DOLLARS. THIS BOND is issued in accordance with the pro visions of an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to authorize the refunding of the National Debt," ap proved July 14, 1870, amended by an Act approved January 20, 1871, and is redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, after the first day of May, A. D. 1SS1, in Coin of the standard value of the United States on said July 14, 1370, with interest in such Coin, from the day of the date hereof, at the rate of FIVE PER CENTUM per annum, piyaWe quarterly, on the first day of February, May, August, and No vember, in each year. The principal an! interest are exempt from the payment of all Taxes or Duties of the United States, as well as from taxation in any form, by or under State, municipal, or local autho rity. Washington, , 13.... Entered Recorded Register of the Treasury. EEGISTEItED BONDS will be issued of the denominations of $."0, $100, $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000, and coupon bonds of each denomination except the last two. The interest will be payable in the United States at the office of the Treasu rer, any Assistant Treasurer, or designated depositary of the Government, quarterly, on the first days of February, May, August, and November in eaoh year. TIIE INTEREST ON THE REGISTERED STOCK of this Loan, it is determined by the Trea sury Department, will be paid as conveniently to the holder as on the Coupon Stock, and personal attendance, or attendance by proxy at the Treasury, to draw and receipt for the Interest, will be dispensed with, whenever Vie check of the United (States Treasurer, mailed punctually to the address and order of each holdei', on or before every quarter-day, is pre ferred to such attendance. This cheok, pay able in Gold Coin at the Treasury in New York (or such other office as the Stock is registered atj, will be negotiable or collect able on the indorsement of the owner or owners of the Stock. In pursuance of this arrangement, the subscribers to, or pur chasers of, the Stock in its registered form (which is a complete protection against theft or other losses incident to Coupon Bond payable to Bearer) are advised to give their Post Office address in full, and to notify of any change in the address between quartar days. The whole proceeds of the new loan will be applied to the payment or redemption and cancellation of the 5-20 years six per cent, bonds, and, in addition to these pr)ceed4, the 5-20s are now being reduced by purchase at the rate of $10,000,000 per month. The entire effect, therefore, of the new loan, in connection with the existing sinking fund process of the Treasury, is to reduce both principal and interest of the publio debt of the United States. The loan creates no additional supply of Government stooks, while the application of the surplus revenues de rived in gold from customs is constantly les sening, as it has been doing for two years past, the funded stocks bearing six per cent, gold interest.. The 1st of May schedule of the publio debt, which has just been published by the Secre tary of the Treasury, shows a reduction in these Stocks sirce the April schedule of $12,215,700, and a further lessening of the yearly interest charge thereon of $732,912. This leaves the total yearly interest charge in Gold $111,982,031. In the same month Ihe Treasury paid and cancelled $2,470,000 of the Three per Cent. Currency debt, re ducing the whole of this debt bearing interest to $51,023,000, and the yeaily interest charge thereon to $1,537,470. The proposed further reduction of the an nual interest charge upon the rublio Debt by refunding is as follows: Bv exchange of 500 000.000 United States six per cents, for new five per cent of 181... 15,000,000 By exciiange or faoo.ooo.uuo united States bix per cents for lour and a half per cents of 1966 4,600,000 By exenauge or j,uo,ih.ii,uuu i uuej States six per cents lor four per cants Of 1901 14,000,000 Total saving per annum by refunding. t23,500,ooo The large and rapid accumulation in the FINANOIAU. last few years of private capital now retired from active business, and of the cash Savings and Life Insuranoe premiums deposited with or intrusted to the provident institutions of the country all seeking the most undoubted security, pledged to be kept free of all taxes, tinder national or local authority, and con tent, provided this objeet be assurad, with moderate rates of interest will no doubt ultimately absorb so much of these New Stocks as may not be taken in voluntary conversion of United States 5-20s, or mar keted abroad.
