[Correspondence of the Philada. Daily Evening Bulletin.] Wssiorrorosr, Ane. Ist.—The President is sorely perplexed as to what to do with Commis sioner Rollins. It 16 understood that the subject of his suspension was discussed at the Cabinet meetings on Tuesday last and yesterday, and that the sentiment of the President's constitutional advisers was decidedly against his taking any step looking to Rollins's removal or suspension, and Attorney General Everts, It 35 well known, was very emphatic in recommending the President to abstain from any such action. Daring the week, it seemed to be settled that Johnson would act upon this zdvice, and allow Rollins to remain undisturbed; but the absence of Seward and Everts in New York,, and the pressure of interested purges,. who are constantly representing to the President that his permitting Rollins to remain in office was a standing menace to him, has ap parently changed his mind, and he seems disposed to throw.aside,the,advice of cooler beaded men than himself; and act from his impulsive - feelings rather from reason and judgment. He 68?.D28 to have come to the conclusion to remove Rollins, even if he puts another Radical in his place, which proceeding he hopes will induce the Senate, when it meets again, to approve his ac tion. To this end it is understood he has offered the position to Gov. Cox, who has declined it, and it is reported to-day that similar overtures have been made to Columbus Delano, who rep resents' the Eleventh District of Ohio in Congress, he having unseated Morgan, Democrat. Delano le_D-map of ahllity-and-svotildmiske-a-good Com missioner; but whether he would accept the po sition. under the circumstances, is another mat ter.. To do eo, he would be compelled to resign his seat In Congress, to take a place whose tenure Is very uncertain. His district is Democratic, and if a new election was ordered.

In the meantime, Commissioner Rollins is qui etly but Industriously going on with the reor ganization of the Bureau under the provisioni3 of the new tax law, and is daily surrounded with a host of office-seekers. • The position of Super vitor of Revenue is most sought after, and the contest, in some districts, promises to be sharp and bitter. No nominations have been made yet by Rollins to Secretary 3lcCulloch, owing to the fact that the judicial districts must be arranged first, which • will consume some time. This is rendered necessary, because some of the judicial districts, as at present constituted, embraces parts of different collection districts, which it is desi rable to avoid, if possible, in arranging the dis tricts for the supervisors. CONTEST PON r ENINSYLVANLA SOTEEVLSORS. The contest for Supervisor. for Eastern Penn sylvania is very spirited. John Dtiller, late Bev cunt: Agent's understood to be a candidate; also, Thomas W. Sweeney, ex-assessor Second Dis trict; Wm. B. Sipes, ex-clerk to the Revenue Board of your city; J. Orlando Tobias, ex-rev enue inspector, and D. P. Southworth, ex-asses sor, Fourth District. Sonthworth Is well versed In revenue affairs. assisted the Committee of Ways and Means in preparing the provisions of the tax bill relating to tobacco, and is now tem porarily attached to the Bureau at Washington, assisting in the preparation of the regulations for the tobacco trade. The chances appear to be In his favor for nomination, lint whether he will be approved by the Secretary Is another question. John Miller stands well with the Bureau, and it is possible he may be nominated,and South worth given another position. A large number of appli cants for the New Jersey District have been flied, among them ex-revenue inspector Brooks, who seeks an appointment in that State. THE CASE OF COLLECTOR CARE. _ - Senator Buckalew and Representative Samuel J. Randall were at the Treasury Department to day, and it was agreed between Secretary Mc- Culloch and "the parties of the first part" that Cake should have five to ten days in which to present his defence against the charges filed against him, and in the event of his failure to mate satisfactory explanations, immediate sue pension will follow. Senator Buckalew has here tofore sustained Cake, but to-day, it is reported, exhibited indications of withdrawing his sup port if the' ollector could not successfully refute the charges. TRE NEW STAMP FOR WILISKEY sAnitnr.s. The internal revenue Stamp for whisky bar rels has been engraved, and is now ready for de livery. It is about three inches wide by six inches long, with a hole cut through the centre, on the back of which is pasted a piece of thinner paper than that used for the stamp, so that in cancelling it, it will be so mutilated as to prevent it being used a second time. The stamp bears the words " Tax paid," and contains serial num bers to correspond with those, on the stub in books to be kept in the distillery, to prevent du plication. Each stamp has coupons attached, to add one, two, three or four gallons when neces sary, the chief stamp being for forty gallons, whereas whisky barrels generally contain one, two or three gallons over that number. STAMPS FOR THE TOBACCO TRADE The stamps for tobacco comprise 21 denomina tions,as follows:—For 1, •2, 3, o, 10, 20, 40, 50, 60, and 100 pound boxes and barrels of plug tobacco —half ounce, one ounce, 2,4, 6, 8 and 16 ounces for fine cut chewing—and 2,4, 8 and 16 ounces for smoking tobacco. All these, stamps will be sold as revenue stamps are now sold, and the evidence that tax has been paid will be the stamp on the box, barrel or package. These stamps will be about one inch wide, by one and a half inches long, and will be finished in artistic style. They will not be completed and ready for use be fore sixty days. THE CONTRACT FOR PRINTLIG POSTAGE STAMPS. The award of this contiact by Postmaster General Randall has been postponed until the first of October. and the different bidders have been notified accordingly. The Politmaster Gen eral is also preparing regulations for the govern ment of postmasters, and the tr msmission of mail matter, in conformity with the late law of Congress amending the postal laws, which will be ready in a few days. THE APPOINTMENT OF BLNICKLEY-HE WILL HAVE The irrepressible Blackley has been appointed Solicitor of Internal Revenue, to heal his wounded feelings for being legislated out of the Attorney-General's office. This office of Sohcitor of the Internal Revenue Bureau has never been filled before, the office being regarded as unne cessary, although provided for by law; and Con gress at its next session will unquestionably legislate Binckley out of office again.

'From the London TitrieD, July 224 _Yesterday the honorary freedom of'tho corpor ation of the city of London, with a sword of• the value of two hundred guineas, was publicly pre sented to Baron Napier, in the Guildhall. in pur suance of a resolution of the Court of Common Council unanimously adopted at a • recent-meet ing, in admiration for the fortitude; skill, energy and promptitude displayed by him in bringing the Abyssinian war to a successful and brilliant close. In the evening the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained his Royal Highness, the Duke of ?Cambridge, Lord and , Lady Napier and many other persons of distinction, at dinner at the Mansion House, which was served in the Egyptian hall. The guests were about two hun dred in number. Lord Napier of Magdala, who was received with prolonged and enthus iastic cheering, in re plying to the toast in his honor, said: My Lord Mayor your Royal Highness, ladies and gentle men—l cannot but feel very deeply the honor you have conferred upon me this day in the very kind reception I have met with from the city of London, and the very kind manner in which my health has peen drank, this evening, •These-are favors antirewards lao great - ,thaf I feel I have • den° very little for them and they, lay ttpott me so great a burden of snr:itcelo be dO4O Boiseßoisefuture day, that I can hardly ever hopet to repay the very kind welcome you have conferred upon me. It a source of very great gratification to me and to every member of the Abyssinian ex pedition to find that our services have been received so favorably 13, y our countrymen of all classes, and that we have been considered to have done our duty. I must say that we are under great obligations to the government of this country,which supplied us promptly and speedily with everything we required. To the head of the government of India in this country, Sir Stafford -Northeotes - car - ackno Mare - peetiliarly due, nor can I abstainfrom mentioning the names of , the military comtnittee, - under Sir 8. Northeote—Sir IL J. Hussey Vivian, General Boker, Captain Eastwick and Major General egrea Pears—to whom we artly indebted for the labora_romptitude_endlredgenent_which enabled them to point out the wants which were Supplied. also much indebted to the Duke •of Cambridge, who so promptly and without regard to precedent gave me the officers I solicited, whose skill and courage I had witnessed before and whose ser vices i was convinced it, was highly desirable to obtain. [Cheery, j The Viceroy of India, too, came to our assistance when we were in great difficulties, and sent us camel drivers and mule drivers, 'without whose aid we would scarcely have advanced. I have also to express my ac knowledgments to the Governor of Madras, my honored namesake, Lord Napier of Merchistorm, who gave us much valuable assistance. I must also express , my gratitude to the Governor of Bombay, Sir Seymour Fitzgerald, for the im mense labor he bestowed on the equip ment of - the expedition, and the great assistance - he afforded us on every occasion after we left Bombay and whenever we required the aid of the Bombay government. I have'but one word to say in ref erence to the conduct of the men. The conduct of all the members of the force was exemplary in the highest degree. They viedwith each other in devotion to the Queen and in the performance of their duty. This was not the first time that I bad seen British soldiers. labors __zealously, but I never saw them- labor better than on this occasion, The native soldiers abandoned all their prejudices and vied with the English soldiers in zeal. I may mention that on one occasion, soon alter I arrived, I rode round the worka, and came upon a regiment of Bengal , native , troops. who knew something of me personally and something by tradition. Some Prussian officers who honored as with their company could not think what had happened when they saw even these men, with their baskets of earth, dancing about with joy. They were expressing their delight that the Com mander-in-Chief had come among them to sea them at work. I cannot do too much justice to a Beloochee regiment for their devotion, and little behind them, if any, were the Tenth Bombay na tive regiment. A great part of these men were Hindustanis,but they were as willing as any other races to do their duty, and they were an honor to their Presidency. The services of the cavalry were equally meritorious. I had on one occasion to point out some ground to a native officer of my escort. He had said be did not know where the commander-in-chief was going to take the cav alry. I said, "That is your plain?" He replied, "Very well, Sahib, that is a beautiful piece of flat ground." It was really a slope of hill at an angle of forty-five degrees. [A laugh and cheers.] Of the British infantry it is unnecessary to speak. They labored extremely hard, had to carry very heavy loads, and were obliged to go from active work to picket duty. I was astonished at their endurance, but they bore up, inspired by a strong hope of perfecting the task they had be tore them. Every man had sufficient considera tion and reflection to understand the end R e had in view. I was also much indebted to the officers of the Intelligence Department, who all labored zealously. Although by their duties they were often kept in the rear when their wishes would have carried them to the front,they contributed greatly to the success of the expedi tion. Las t , but not least, I will mention the officers an d men of the navy, who assisted us in every possible way. The spitit of the commander of the navy was excellent and it was shared by all the force. They made admirable volunteer soldiers, and accompanied us with the Rocket brigade. None marched better, and they took excellent care of their mules. When the expedi tion was over I expected the greater part of them to go into the lancers or artillery. I do not know whether Captain Fellowes Is content to re main in the navy, but he never seemed more at home than when he was on horseback. [Laugh ter and cheers. I When our task was accom plished the first news we received from home was a telegram from her Majesty the Queen, who is always the first to encourage her soldiers in their duties. I Cheers. 1 Immediately after her Majes ty's telegram, arrived one from his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge. The Secretary of State for India also telegraphed to us in wdrm terms of congratulation. I cannot tell your lordship how much I fed the welcome which bas awaited me in this country. I can not but feel grateful to the force under my command through whose exertions lam in debted for the favors I have received. We all did our best, but without the zeal and cordial co oueration of every officer and soldier under my command our success would not have been COM pieta.. The illustrious Duke has truly remarked that I have had the honor to serve under two gallant officers now in this room. I am proud to remember that I served in Central India under my noble and gallant friend Lord Strathnairn, a soldier who thoroughly understood that the way to defeat an Asiatic enemy Is by going straight at their heads on every occasion—l cheers]— and who invariably triumphed over all the difficulties in which he was placed. I had also the honor to serve under my gallant and honored friend, Sir Hope Grant, whose command of the military forces in China was signalized by the capture of Pekin. With respect to the volunteer force I may remark that, although not a-young soldier, I am a volunteer officer of a few days old,for I have been proud to accept the command of the Third regiment of the city of London Rifle brigade. I shall ever remember with gratitude the honom conferred upon me by the city of London to-day and the kind welcome I have re ceived in this hall. [Lord Napier resumed his seat amid enthusiastic cheering. I - • • - The Mormons in England. Emboldened by their _success -in Wales, the Mormons have endeavored to break ground in Liverpool. Few persona are aware of the Im mense encouragement which the emissaries of OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. Brightm Young always find in the Welsh coun ties, especially in the southern parts. The mi ners are allured by the promises held out to them of "getting land for the asking," high wages, and a comfortable home in the Bait Lake settlement, and they gladly abandon a life of toil for the fairer prospect which is pictured to them. The Mormon elders, however, seek chit fly , for girls, and many a household in 4 Wiles loses its best fCmale servantz once or twice year, owing to the persuasion of Mormon preach ers. These young women are generally' told that polygamy forms no part of the Mormon religion or practice, and that its alleged existence is a mere wicked calumny of the "Gentiles." In Monmouthshire the progress of the sect daring the - last few years has Ven amazing, but it is im possible to estimate it properly by statistics or, returns, because the "converts" are taken out of . the country as fast as„they are won. In Liver pool the Mormon pioneers did not find a promis ing field the other day: Two of them began to preach in Shell PIO, but they were mobbed and driven from the spot. It is nominal for Mor moans to resort tell& method of proselytizing; they,prefer to work unnoticed, and "lead captive silly.women." - - The elders are not men to be dis 'couraged by, the displeasure of a single, crowd in Liverpool.

Wade (July 21) Correspondence of the I.oudon Thaea.l -Tivo women, Marie Fleutot, 'a dometnicaer vant, aged 24, and her mother, Marguerite Mer tette, have just been tried in -Paris on a charge of murder. The victim was a lady named Chante reatt, aged 50, and unmarried, but who for'more Wan 20 years had lived with a person named For est,ll builder, and passed as his, wife. She resided during the summer at a pleasant villa on the ba,nks of the Marne, at La lrarenne-SL-Hilare, a short distance from Paris. M. Forest, beingdetained in - town - brbusinessi watr - rdwaysrubsent — from his country seat during the week, and only arrived on, Saturday evening to stay over the Sunday. At about 1.30 o'clock on the morning of the 10th of August last, the house at La Vareaae was dis covered to be on fire. The flames were got un der in about an hour,_after_whichthe_hody_oL_ 12Fdlle. Chanterean was found on a bed Which had been partially burnt ; the head - was completely carbonized, but singularly enough, the body was only scorched, and the mattresses on which it lay were not destroyed. This fact had struck the person who had come to render assistance, and the first impression was that a crime had been committed, suspicion fall ing on the servant Fleutot, who was alone with Mlle. Chanterean at the moment of the disaster; but as M. Forest found his property ha the house to the amount of over 300,000 francs in cash and Securities, remaining intact, and as the body bore no marks of violenee, that supposition fell to the ground, and the fire and death of Mlle. Cbanterean were concluded to have been the re sult of accident. In February last, however, from information which M. Forest had received, a search was made in an apartment at Beroy oc cupied by the mother of the girl Flentot, and a large quantity of .property was found, consisting of bedding, lanen, , jewelry; articled of wearing apparel, cte..; of the value of from . 4.000 francs, to 5,000 francs, all of which had belonged to. the deceased lady. A judicial' iriquity was then opened and showed that the' murder must- have been committed by the woman Fleutet, assisted by her mother, who went fre quently to visit her, and they were, in conee. quence, both arrested. The investigation proved that they had endeavored to drown the unfortu nate lady while she was taking a bath, and the fingers of the younger prisonfir still bore marks of a bite which she had evidently received from Mlle. Chantereau while the latter was struggling in the water. The crime , had apparently been effected by means of blows on the bead. The two women had then removed a quantity of property to the railway station to carry it off, and had finally set the house on fire to conceal the murder and robbery. The medical evidence showed that the head of Mdlle. Chantereau must have been burnt, proba bly to remove traces of the violence used, before the body was placed on the bed where it was found. The previous career of each of the two women showed that they were of a dishonest and depraved character. The daughter had already undergone a condemnation to six months Im prisonment for theft in a previous eitua don, and when with another mas ter had set fire to the apart ment to conceal some dishonest act.. She had borne a child, and since leavine M. Forest had lived with a man in the same room which her mother occupied. She showed great assu rance on the trial, parrying the questions put to her with some ability. The circumstantial evi dence was, however, conclusive, and the priso ners were each condemned to hard labor for life. On hearing the sentence tee girl Fleutot, who, had probably expected a capital punishment,: could not restrain a smile of satisfaction, which excited the indignation of the public present, and some cries of ".Death ! death !" were heard from the audience. In the English House of Commons, on the 20th July, Mr. Baines asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if it was true that Julian de Var gas, a Spanish schoolmaster at Malaga, had been imprisoned in a felon's prison since the 12th of March, and was now under, .prosecution by the Fiscal, who demanded a Sentence of 17 months' imprisonment for having in his house a Span ish Bible and Testament and a few French Pro testant books not of a controversial character; and whether he would use the friendly influence of this Government with the Government of Spain to obtain an abandonment of this religious versecution, so calculated to offend the public feeling of the rest of - Europe, where the rights of conscience are acknowledged by the law of all countries, Protestant, Roman Catholic, and, even Mohammedan. ,`•• Lord Stanley said he believed thr is of the Case were that a man named Fart a school master at Malaga,had been in prisc.. %." am weeks and was at resent under proseedli but there was some discrepancy in the various statements which had reached-him as to the precise nature of the charge. If he understood it aright, the charge was not for having Protestant books in his possession, but that he, being a schoolmaster, was alleged to have taught Protestant doctrine; and the fact of his having these books in his pos session was brought forward in support of the charge. • The proceedings instituted were by the local authoritles,and not by the Spanish Govern ment. This was a very delicate matter for Her Majesty's Government to meddle with,'Jecause,as the man was a Spanish subject, they had no au thority whatever to interfere. Any communica tion between the two governments must be of the most friendly character, and even in that case they had to guard most carefully against even the appearance of wishing to dictate to the Spanish Government.. The only ground upon which diplomatic action could be founded in 4 case of this kind was that such proceedings tended to create a'good deal of excitement among Pro testant commtualties t which mil;•ht result in ill feeling, and on that ground alone he had felt hiMself_atliberty,.--In-a—friendly -and— unofficial manner, to advise the Spanish Government to deal with Vargas with as mech leniency as pos sible under the circumstances. Beyond that he did not think proper to go. Bar Zing or , the Nola Theatre. The Turin Gazette gives dets,ils of the burning of the Note theatre m that place. The disaster oe cnrred during the performance of "Crispin° eia- Comare." Thor hotted was crowded, and the piece had arrived at , about the middle of the se cond act, when the scream of a woman was heard FRANCE.' SPAIN. Religious Liberty in Spain. ITALY• from behind the scenes, followed by the noise of hurried footsteps and a cry of "Keep your places; it is nothing ." The clothes of a femitio dancer had caught fire, and in her terror she had run about with her skirt in a blaze, and bad thus set fire to some drap ery at the wings; she was, however, firmly en veloped in a linen cloth, and the flames of her dress were extinguished before she had suffered any injury. The alarm had, however, spread among the spectators, and a general rush was made to the doors; for a moment there was great danger of loss of life from the pressure, but some young men who were in the gallery above and could see what was going on near the stage called out that the fire was over. About half of the spectators then returned to their seats, while those who were nearest the door left the building. The disaster bad in deed. for a moment appeared to be at an end, as the canvas on tire had been torn down and tram pled under foot. But the flames had found in the painted scenes and light woodwork an aliment too favorable, and the flames again appearing, the panic once more . became general, screams were heard on all sides, several women fainted, many, persons jumped from the windows on the Staircase, and every' one made for the street, leaving behind hats, shawls, umbrellas, dm For niziately the theatre had been partly emptied at the„first alarm, and every one was able to get away in safety. - The scene outside was most curious. Thespec tators might be seen, some with hare heads; and others with clothes torn from their backs, harry ing to and fro in search of friends or relatives. The actors and actresses were in their costumes, while some of the ballet girls. who had been sur prised while dressing, were between two toilettes —half civil and half theatrical. The flames in the meantime had gained the pit and the galleries, and as the interior of the house was constructed of wood and canvas only, any attempt to cheek the progress of the fire was useless; all that could be done was to prevent the conflagration from extending to the adjoining houses, and In a short time nothing bat the blackened walls remained. ORINIE. TRAGIC AND MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. Veiled Horsemen Appear before the night, Seize a Illturderer and Hann' (Flom the Memphis Avalanche of July - 2M The town of Jacinto, the county seat of Tisho mingo county, Miss., was the scene of a tragic and mysterious affair' last Wednesday night, which has been the subject of much comment since. Upwards of two weeks ago two white men, known respectively as Williams and Bibb, and noted as outlaws, were arrested by the joint ef forts of the military and civil authorities for something and lodged in the Jacinto jell. Two weeks afterwards both escaped, bat on the fol lowing day the dead body of Bibb was found in the woods. It had been stripped of clothing, and every circumstance tended to the belief that he had.been murdered. About the same time some horses were missed in the neighborhood and tesquad of soldiers and citizens commenced scouring the country for the thieves. Suspicion naturally fell on Williams, who was traces to near Eastport, on the Ten nessee river, and captured by some soldiers. One of the party recognized the clothinworn by him as that belonging to Bibb when In Jail. He was at once aceused of the murder, and being closely questioned confessed both crimes. Williams was taken to Jacinto and restored to the communion of the kindred spirits he so sud denly deserted. About twelve o'clock last Wednesday night the quiet streets of Jacinto resounded with the clatter of horsemen, and a few moments after Wards a dozen or fifteen men, finely mounted and =Fitted, halted ha front of the only store in the place. L&ud rapping brought a young man who slept over the establishment to the window. He was asked to admit the party. Hesitating, he was assured no harm was intended him, but the party intended coming in, and would break the dolr it he persisted in refusing entrance, as it was neces sary to procure a piece of rope. The bewildered clerk now hastened to open the door, and sud denly found himself confronted by several men, so perfectly disguised that it was impossible to recognize a feature of their faces. Obtaining the rope ono offered payment, but the young man, only too glad to be rid of his ghostly-looking visitors, said he wanted nothing, but hoped they would leave at once. They left, rode rapidly to the jail and knocked at the door until the jailor, Mr. Travis, C 31718 to the window and demanded the cause of the sin gular demonstration. " We want to got in," replied one of the veiled horsemen; and upon the j•ulor' refusal to grant permission the door was forced open. He came down stairs and entreated them to leave, but the leader terminated the parley by calling out, Nos. 1, 7 and 9 will take charge of the jailor, and Mr. Travis was suddenly seized and prevented from any further demonstration. The only other utterance of the leader was "You've got a man we want," as he led the way to the interior of the building. In the centre is a large Iron cage, used to conNne dangerous prison ers. The door was forced open, and several of the veiled regulators entered. It contained three negroes and two white men. The leader pointed to one of them, the murderer Williams, who was seized and borne outside. The three men de tailed to guard the jailor remained with him a few moments, but the others disappeared as sud denly as they had come. Boon the jailor was left alone. At daylight. In the morning the news of the visit of a masked mob to the jail became known. and the Sheriff, Captain BealVatarted to ascer tain the whereabouts of the prisoner. Com mencing at the jail he traced the party by the marks of the horses' hoofs upon the ground. One hundred and fifty yards from the bailding the road makes an abrupt turn at a lonely wooded place. Looking np.from the ground a moment when reaching the spot, he was startled at seeing the body of the object of his search dangling lifeless from the limb of a tree. He had evi dently been dead several hours, for the form was cold and rigid. No one was present to toll the story. The work of the executioners had been short and decisive, and the world contained one less criminal. Williams was once a Federal soldier, and came to Corinth last year with a body of troops. He was regarded as a bad man, and soon afterward deserted. From that time up to his.death ho was known as a thief and desperado, and on several occasions the military had hunted him through the swamps. Ho and Bibb were partners for a long time. <Thelatter could hot have had any money when murdered, and Williams would hardly have - committed the crime for the few pieces of clothing worn by his victim. It is more probable that Bibb possessed information of some dark transaction which Williams was deal- roes of keeping from the light, well knowing that "dead men toll no tales." The names of the men who executed Williams'are unknown. There are no Ku Klux in the county, and many believe the "regulators" to have been soldiers, —A Canada paper, speaking of the travel this summer, says: "The tide of American travel Is finding its way each year in larger volume down our St. Lawrence and up the Saguenay, and this, too, must steadily increase.
