'Whitehead,- a Young man of twenty two, was sentenced by Judge Troy in Brooklyn yesterday to three--years in the Penitentiary for bigamy. Two of his wives and two of his fiances were in court and all but one of them testified. He married his first wife the day after their first meeting, which occurred on a street do Buffalo, she being introduced to hlm by a lady friend. The new diocese of the Episcopal Church in Noriliern New York will come into existence on Sunday next. By the suggestion of the present Bishop, the day will be celebrated in all the Epis copal Cburches,in this part of the,-Btate, by the administration' of the Holy Communion at the morning service, when the offerings of the peo ple will be apprope 'ted to the fund for the sup port of the Bishop, whe is to be elected on the 2d of December. —lt Is a canons fact that scarcely au actress ever created a great sensation in San ,Francleco without having har head completely turned. She is so besieged by the-preponderating popu lation of men, so molted by bouquets, diamond rings 'and breast-pths, and seductive billet deux, that the pressing , asßiration of her heart (if she ~ b e married) is a divorce.

This ends it! This finishes it! There is no longer hope for Demoitrisy. Oar star is sot in gloom. Never ehel I forgit the ghastly appear ance of Deakin Pogram'a faco,ez the fatal nooze wee told him. A single tear rolled from his left eye, down his furrowed cheek—it glittered for a brief moment on the tip of his brillyant nose, and plowed off into space! How like our hopes! Never a word sal he, but sadly beckoned me to feller. Sadly he walked to the square, mourn fully be gulled down the Confedrit flag which bee waved from the pole in front of Bascom's, tenderly he folded it, and placed it under the bad nv whisky in the bar.

These amounts were far from being. enough to conduct the business of New York. Money was fearfully scarce, and the onlY r imeMadiotit was to settle 4 old 'engage ments. line in a few months the , evil worked Its own cure. The speculations which brought the , trouble about were killed. Money flowed to the point of most intense pressure, r and things went on as before.

At, the same time, the notes in circulation amounted to $34,- 353,637, and this sum may be supposed zto be in the private fire-proofs and breeches-pockets of the people. One would suppose that with over thirty-four millions of dollars lying about loose, and with over one hundred and seventy-five millions lying about, not exactly those, but liable to be letloos3 by the proper persons, money could not be so very tight.: There was four times as much of it, as in October, 1857. A reduction of prices would tempt the 'owners to invest in whatever was offered. There was no public object for whose sake the desires of the whole community for a return to a specie basis of currency should be sacrificed. _ But many of the aforesaid brokers and gam biers, and perhaps some merchants and builders of a speculative tuna of mind, had great difficulty in carrying their v , atww. to a profit. They did not like to sell for less than they had bought for. They could not, by such a process, earn the $50,- 000 a year it now costs them to live; for these poor people are under sad necessities. Bo the Secre tary of the Treasury, It Is said, was beateged.tuld badgered; lied at, squealed at and frightened into makingg some promises, not definitely/mule pub lic, to re-enlarge the basis of banking, and to go back upon his own record, to defeat and undo the only movement by which a epeole currency can ever be reached. " ' ' ° For it is in vain to hope that a specie basis can ever be reached without specie prices,, and if spe cle prices, then lOwer prices than now, and, .1 1 1 lower prices, then they must be arrived• at by a. course of compulsion; because people will not submit to lower prices for what, they possess without a airttigre. . • Independently of the suspicion which such in terference fastens upon the public officer doing it, the weakness displayed is enough• to prove bis unfitness for the trust.'

Mn,ann) OeL 27,1868.-The Italian: Gofern went has formally recognized revolutionized Spain, and entered into official relations with the men provisionally at the head of affairs in Ma drid. Ido not know to what extent an Ameri can reader may be amused by observing with what infinitesimally petty trifles the attention of the grave statesman at the head of mighty king doms and empires is taken up. Almost imme diately upon the instalment of a Junta and of a Provisional Government in Madrid, the United States Minister, Mr. Hale, acting upon Warm- tions telegraphically conveyed to him from the cabinet at Washington, signified hie readiness at once to recognize any Government de facto which Spain might wish to substitute for that of the Queen, who was at that moment re ceiving the condolences of the Em peror Napoleon at Biarritz. Mr. Sew ard did no more in this instance than follow the course which reason and ereediency re eoremended-as the only practicable one to the american,Government;and Mr. Hale so evidently acted in this matter rather from a sense of duty than from inclination, that on the very day In which he officially waited on the Foreign Minis ter of the • Revolutionary Government, in the morning he entertained the Pope's Nuncio, Mon signor French' and the Minister- in partibus of bts crownless Majesty, the King of the Two Sicilles—still recognized by Queen Isabella—at dinner in the evening. Next to the agent.. for the great 'Transatlantic Republic, the Italian Minister, Count Corti .volunteered some civilities to the newly installed Spanish rulers. He called upon Marshal Serrano. on his appointment to the general command of all the forces, and the visit was punctually returned by that gallant and well breed officer.. The Italian Count next drove to the Foreign Office, and there ex changed greetings with the Minister of State.. M. de Loretizana.. In the meanwhile the 7eat . qi/es non of recognition or-non-recognition of iieintenfeigaitinifiVa - Bbing grt - Mily consid ered and debated at the Courts of the Tpilertes of - - St 'Jetties, and of Sans Bonci. I believe the Emperor Napoleon and M. Moustier, took it in hand for themselves and their neighbors. If the thing wan to badone it little mattered whether it was done quickly; the all-important matter was that it should be done neatly and nicely. The "hair" about official or officious was cunningly split.. .The relations.to be-.opened- with Spain should be international. I defy any man to say that the termis notstrictly accurate. Make the most of it: itiends itself to any amount of stretching. "International relations" are relations between nation and nation. Whether Ministers only bow or shake hands, the transactions are still inter national. The great powers could not, in com mon civility,do less; they would not,agreeably to their rules of common prudence, do more. Their representatives are on speaking terms with the Provisional Government; three of them, at least, on visiting terms. M. Mercier, the French Minister, only sent his card, without turning it up at the corner. Mark, also, how cleverly the thing was done; how adroitly it was contrived That . the Dif Minores, and especially that half-respectable Kingdom of. Italy, should be left out in the cold. - 13enthewigged --- atleltit.4_.fte_..ereeederifs-at the - Frencli - Foreign-elfice rummaged about the archiVes till be stumbled upon the protocol of the 1613 g-forgotten Quadruple Alliance. That was just the thing.- -- Tho notion that four States should once more act together in the settlement of Peninsular mat ters appeared irresistible. Four States were once more in the field to the exclusion of inconvenient neighbors. The affair was kept snug; instrac-. tions traveled safely,'double-locked-in the bag of the Cabinet courier, and one line morning the , w.orld's. breath wag. taken away by, the. _ astound ing intelligence that:-France, .England, - Prussia' and Portugal bad .stolen.a. march. npcin other countries, and had especially given the. go-by to, the Italian Government, whereupon..

LONDON, Nov. 10th, 1868.—Minister Reverdy, Johnson's statement that the-difficulties between England and the United States in regard to the Alabama claims are ended, is regarded 'as toe strong, .and entirely unwarranted by the nresent aspect of the high authorities Interested. Nothing reallyhas been settled. No arbitrator hats Dean selected, and Minister Johnson and Lord Stanley have agreed only that both governments shall choose arbitrators to decide the ex tent of England's liability for the depre dations of the Alabama, and her right to re cognize the Confederates as belligerents. In the event of the liability question being decided ad verse to the American view all claims drop, and if otherwise each government appoints two com missioners, who jointly choose a fifth to act ak President. The governments jointly sappoint Secretary, each paying half his salary. Thodatier-: of the'commission shall be to examine separately each claim of the two countries. At Minister Johnson's own suggestion the com mission is to meet in London,because, as he save, most of the evidence, documentary and verbal, will• be found•here. The statement of the Times that it had been agreed that the arbitrator bed European king,by which it means more definitely King William of Prussia, and that the United States, had decided not to press the question of the right of England to recognize the rebel confederacy,are manitesuv incoriect. lam authorized to State that the two governments will jointly select the arettrator,aud the question of the recognition Will form the principal subject of the arbitration. The character of these negotiatiOna has caused considerable dissatisfaction among influential cir cles representing those Enillshmen friendly to the loyal Americans duringthe war. On the one hand It is said that the Tories have been using Allister Johnson for political purposes, and im • other that the rebels have been using the Tories for their own purposes. Everything was cut and dried for Lord Stanley to close the negotiations on the very , day, that the Mayor was to give his banquet, so as to gain cap ital for the coming elections by affording Disraeli an, opportunity, on his first appearance for some time before the public. to say that his govern ment had settled eventhing. The conviction is that the United States are being humbugged into serving the purposes of, politicians and disappointed Southerners._' ; George N. Saunders, Judah P. Benjamin, and' other rebels, have been working hard in' thielmat ter with Laird, Wharneliff, Roebuck. and others of a similar stripe.

The following is an ac count of its reception at Phanar: On Thursday, October 15, Monseiguenr Has noun, the Roman Catholic vicar general, re quested an audience of the Greek Patriarch.. The Latter replied that ho would receive him at 4 P. M. on Saturday. Accordingly on that, day, at the 'hour fixed, the vicar, attended by tour Catholic ecclesiastics of high rank, , pro ceeded to the patriarchate,and after the usual in troductory civilities presented to his Holiness the recent letter of the Pope to the bishops of the Eastern Church. Before receiving it the Pa triarch asked if the epistle wore the same as that whose text bad been published in the neWspapers, and on being informed that it was ho answered that he could not receive a document couched in such unbecoming language, and to .which he could not offers favorable reply. The vicar and hie companitms then witharew without being able to fulfil their mission. The letter has also been delivered to the Armenian Patriarch, who has replied that he cannot answer it without con sulting his synod. It is not believed that the tatter will advise acceptance of the invitation. DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.

But he proposes no remedy except commit ments to houses of correctiolt,,and a more rigor one enforcement of the penalties or the law. Al low me to suggest a trial of the preventive methods of dealing with those great and growing evils,—methods which for years past have been (actively though, quietly in operation in the cities of Boston and New.
