We intend to limit, and, If necessary, to dimtn ih gradually the volume of paper money, until it approximates in value to the istandanl of coin. We intend that there shall be one mummy forWI bondholder, the merchant, Vie farmer, the pglisioner and the laborer. That currency shall be of the value of gold. When this Is done the public debt will be paldi as the resources of the country may permit, and to the satisfaction of those who pay and of those who receive. When the credit of the country is restored, as it will be by the single fact of the election of General Grant, we can issue bonds payable after ten or twenty years, bearing a lower rate of interest, and thus save annually the sum of twenty or thirty millions of dollars. But first of all, as a means of restoring the public credit, the people must dispel by their votes the apprehension of national dishonesty In trie public finances. The Republican party knows no policy in finance but honesty." From Hartford. ELinnronn, March 12.--.

ODDITII EN Or TALE DIELEOIOEtY. A Directory, containing the names of the in habitants of a large city, makes an interesting and curious study. It shows not only a great similarity in the names of people, but that many persons are possessed of cognomens of peculiar and singular character. In Gospill's Philadel phia Directory for 1869, recently %wed, there are upwards of 150,000 names. Of course, Smith is the most prominent among this big lot of names. The number of individuals called Smith le 1,911. Of that number there are 124 who are named John, and 103 Johns whe have a middle letter, making a total of 227 Johri Smiths. In addition to those who spell their names "Smith" there are various other parties who are evidently cousins, or related in some degree to the great family. For instance, there are: Smyth,3B; Smythe, 1; Schmitt, 74; Schmitt, 44; and Schmitz, 9. In point of numbers, after Smith comes Brown, with 966, and then there are 15 who spell the name Browne. Jones only shows 731, and is exceeded by Miller, which numbers 894. Other names present quite large figures. Thus there are Campbell, 486; Davis, • 590; Johnson, 665; Kelly, 692; Thompson, 520, and Thomson, 61; Taylor, 557; White, 460; Wilson, 696; and Young, 494. While there are so many people Young there are but 3 Old. Colors are represented-as follows : Black, 160; Blue, 6; Brown, 966; Scarlet, 10; Green, 63; Gray, 375, and Yellow, I. Fruit comes up with Orange, 1; Lemon, 16; Apple, 27; Peach, 0; Plum, 6; Mellon, 48, and Grape, 1. There is also one Grapewine—Coffee has 25, while Tea does not appear. Precious stones and metals have a fair representation, viz.: Diamond, 31; Gold, 9; Silver, 3; Iron, 0; Pearl, 1; Brass, 3; . Steel, 8b; Copper, 5, and Nickel, 13. Lead cannot be found, but four persons &renamed Leadbeater. The similarity of names is very great. The num ber of Individuals who possess the same names as the distinguished gentlemen who have presided over the destinies of the nation is as follows : George Washington, 6; John Adams, 21; Thomas Jefferson, 0; James Madison, 2; James Monroe, 3; John Q. Adams, 4; Andrew Jackson, 8; Martin Van Buren, 0; Wm. H. Harrison, 8; John Tyler, 3; James K. Polk, 0; Zachary Taylor, 0 (there is ore Zechariah Taylor]; Millard Fillmore, o;Frank lin Pierce, 0; James Buchanan, 18; Abraham Lincoln, 0; Andrew Johnson, 6; U. 8. Grant, 0.

LETTER FERMI PARIS. The Finances of Paris—A Startling itshibit of their Condition—Li System of Reckless Farpendittire—The Em peror Very Minch to . Blame—The trashionable Season—An Am4rican Bali. !Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.l Pears, Friday, Feb. 26, 1869.—1 may almost flatter myself with having anticipated, in my last otter, everything which was alleged by M. Thieis on the following day, in his gat speech upon be financial affairs of the city of Paris. Therein a set out, only in fuller detail, the whole history .1 the over-expenditure and the illegal loans and xpedients of the Prefect of Paris, of which I Crew a slight sketch. It is, indeed, a marvellous .tory—this account of the "great work" of the •transformation of Paris"—and such, probably, has never before been told of any municipality n the world. The "transformation" of Rome rom brick to marble, in the time of Augastus, must, 1 should think, have been a trifle compared o it. After an expenditure of two thousand mil mns in the course of the last fifteen years, in ,mprovements and embellishments of all sorts, ne city of Paris, though raising a revenue of two ~endted and fifty millions per annum (and not one hundred and fifty, as I erroneously stated), ands itself encumbered with a load of debt and debilities, to an almoet unknown sum, andutider m immediate and pressing demand for the settle ment of five hundred and seventeen millions. What there remains beyond all this, it seems im possible exactly to make out. M. de St. Paul, the last speaker yesterday, and himself a staunch mperiallst, said that he "fully believed that the city owed much more;" and that he "thought the ministers must know how much," for "it seemed impossible that the Prefect should be the only per don who knew the precise amount of his debts." He himself estimated the further debts thus kept in the back groun — ff - at two hundred millions more. But the Chamber, he said, must and would know the truth; and the truth ought to be told to the Emperor also," who, ho was sure, "did not know all that had been going on." And yet be ought to know it, because, "he alone, under the Constitatiqn, was responsible for everything before the country." I have quoted the above words just to show what "per sonal" government is, and what its results are, both for the country and citizens, and for the in dividual who assumes such a burden. Here are the vast affairs of the French capital, with a evenno, as hi. Tillers said, equal to that of Bel aura or Bavaria, and almost hat that of Prussia, .nd which have been, for ten years and more. under the absolute control of the Emperor, who is supposed to be solely reeponsi 01e for them. And yet when they are exhibited o the country in an almost hopeless state of ern barreesment and disgrace, we are assured that it is impossible that the Emperor can have known anything about it ! A more complete ex_ posure of the inanity of "personal" government .nd the futility of "imperial responsibility," it, is dripoesible to imagine. Why, the Emperor has been busy with his shooting-parties all the last week—an amusement, by the by, which he con ,inues to pursue after it is interdicted by law to all his subjects—and as to the embellishments of Paris and the cost of them, all he knows about them is probably what he learns when he drives up and down Baron Hausemann'a cew boulevards and avenues, and admires their magnificence. Such an array of figures as has been set forth by la. Thiers and others during the ast three days in the Chamber is enough to turn the bead of the first financier in the world, much ess that of an Emperor! This exposure, then, of the affairs of the city of which even such an Imperialist as M. de ,t. Paul calls a "deplorable affair," "fall dark ness, rashness and illegality, unworthy of a great administration"—is only another proof of the com plete failure of the present system of government t stablished in France; which, as it had long been proved a failure in its foreign policy—in Italy, In Germany, in Mexico—so latterly had equally tailed in its internal and domestic polley,and now shows to no greater advantage in the adminlatra lion of the CapitaL That many great and useful things have been done in Paris, no one 113 pre pared to deny, but at the side of these vast sums of money have been spent upon extravagant and unnecessary projects, and the whole has been carried out with what M. Thiers designated as "an audacious illegality, such as had never been perpetrated by any government." The debate still continues, and it is difficult to decide how it may terminate. The Chamber Is evidently exasperated, even the majority, and it also fears the approaching election& It is called upon to sanction the illegal engagement between the Prefect and Credit Fonder, and though very unwilling to do so, cannot well refuse without great discredit to the city. It seems not un likely, however, that it may insist upon a public loan to pay off all existing municipal liabilities, and that for the future the city accounts may be submitted every year to its inspection and vote. The President of the Senate, M. Troplong, is so 11l as to be almost despaired of. Should ho die, the Emperor will lose another of those "devoted servants," as M. Ronher called himself and his colleagues, so many of whom have dropped lately from around the sovereign. The Emperor went to visit him yesterday, but could not be ad mitted to see him in his present state, The gayetlea of the season were well maintained on the 22d instant by a grand gathering of Amor leans in celebration of the anniversary of that Auspicious day. The ball, which took place in the euperb saloons of the Hotel du Louvre, was perhaps the most splendid which- has yet been inaugurated for the occasion in Paris. Amerl- OUR. WrIOLE COIMTRY. cans are unnsuallynumerous this season, and all flocked to do honor to the double event which was the object of the assemblage. As / have before mentioned, it was determined to take advantage of the day, and the patriotic feelings,connected with IL to make an appeal to charitable feelings also, and lay the foundations of an Association which is due, I think, to the credit of the American people in this country. The proceeds of the ball were to be devoted to the establishment of an American charitable fund, for the relief of stteh citizens of the United States as might feel themselves in temporary distress in a foreign land, and be at the same time unable, or,what is oftener the case, unwilling,to appeal to private aid. I think there can be no doubt that the creation of such an Association was called for in Paris, as' at once a social and a national duty; and the large attendance at the ball showed that such a sentiment was the predominant feeling• The moment, too, was well chosen; for, as I have frequently remarked of late, the prestige of American society is just now so great in Paris, that numbers of foreigners were sure to flock to such a point of reunion. And this proved to be quite the case. At a late hour, when the recep tions at, the Tuileries, Embassies and Ministries broke up, a large accession of the foreign ele ment crowded into the Hotel du Louvre; and the uniforms and decorations of the military and diplomatic .world mingled in rich profusion with the elegant toilets of our American ladies. The coup d',zil was very striking about one o'clock, when the assembly was at its: height, and all present allow that the arrangement and style of ail entertainment were in the best taste and in moat sumptuous profusion. The supper, indeed, was universally pronounced to be a chef araluere even for Paris; and be must have been an unreasonable gourmet who did not think his twenty-five francs well laid out, even under no higher consideration than that of eating and drinking. I only trust that when the accounts some to be made up, the proposed fund may not have suffered by the profuse and elegant hospitality of the Committee. But the entertainment was worthy of the day, of its double occasion, and of the country and people whom it represented. Convent Life in anglauld—Verdict to - - - The verdict in the Sanrixf case was given on February 26—the twentieth day of the triaL The intermit manifested in the case had revived as the proceedings were known to be drawing to a close, and the Court was crowded at a very early hoar tn the morning. The summing up of .the Lord Chlel-Justice occupied over seven hours.

An In vestigation of a matter alien from the whole • pith of English notional feeling, conducted so itatlently'aild dispassionately, is honorable to our -iegal—xnarMniery. _There Is, besides, this solid gain, that *very sufficient knowledge of the real character and effects of conventual life has been, through this trial, borne in upon the convictions even of those who may have cherished the fondest sentimental bias towards IL The Im pression may not be permanent in such minds; but a salutary check has been given to the ten dency for the present.. In the public mind the question has hardly been one between Miss Ban rin individually and Mrs. Star. Miss Sauna has been regarded more it, 11.,: light of a public prose castor. It is easier to see that no mother supe rior on English soil can be suffered with impu nity to exercise authority as Mrs. Star exercised hers, than to sympathize cordially with the re solve of her opponent. to remain a nun, and yet claim certain exemptions from the role of abso lute unquestioning obedience and pov erty which form the conditions of that state of life. She and her family ap pear to have been unequal to the perception that for a nun to speak of rights is all but self contradictory. But although tnia not unnatural railing below an impossible standard would have excused the jury had it proved unable to arrive at a unanimous opinion, it in nowise detracts Irom the justice of the verdict in its effects on the defendants. They may possibly have believed that the plaintiff had ceased at a certain date to Have in her the making of a good null: but the jury has concluded very justly that, however honestly they may have adopted this belief, they at all events were thenceforth utterly reckless as to the legality of the means by which they were to act upon it.

In reply to an address of welcome Mr. Johnson said that, although the terms of the proposed convention between the two countries might be objectionable, it could never be that two nations so enlightened could 11scard the principle of arbitration. He had been advised by the Atlantic telegraph that although a majority of the committee of the Senate were opposed to the convention they had not yet made their report. At a banquet in the evening Mr. Johnson denied that President Grant entertained hostile feelings towards Great Britain. ENGLAND. the stanriii case. Fearful Hallway Accident. A fearful accident is reported to have happened on the afternoon of the 26th ultimo in Bethnal Green, London. A number of workmen in the employment of Messrs. Lucas were engaged in re pairing some brickwork on the Great Eastern Railway, when a heavily laden coal truck passed over the place. A portion of the structure fell without warning and buried several men in the ruins. The bodies of five men have been re covered. THIS ALABAMA CLAIMS. The limes Asks. 64 Who's Afraid in the Event of War 7 9, (From the London Times. February 17.] Mr. Johnson can scarcely be aware of the ex tent of this repugnance to war, and this single wish to save only the national honor, when he tells the good people of Manchester that a war must be vastly more disastrous to this country than to his own. There is not the slightest neces sity for importing such a calculation into the controversy. The material results are really out of the question altogether. We are quite aware that in the event of war we should not be able to render effectual aid to our Canadian dominion, and that our fellow-sub jects out there would either have to fight at a ter rible disadvantage, or mortify our pride by anti cipating defeat and yielding to terms. In a ma terial point of view that would be no loss to this country. The suggestion that numerous Ala bamas would scour every ocean in search of the British flag, and Ile in wait in the crowded track of our Australian galleons, is a thought of retali ation that must be only too natural. Bat neither is the menace necessary, nor is it so certain that we should find the odds against ns in this sort of warfare. Our ancestors were robbers and pirates, and the Americans are a step farther from that origin than we are, for we are an earlier link in the chain. Two ships 'did all the mountain of mitt erdef that is laid to our charge, and if dt is strange -that they could be allowed to getout of our ports, it is very much stranger,that they should be al lowed to scour an entire ocean and threaten every pathway of commerce. If our neglect, our red tapeism, and our stupidity were so great as to arouse suspicion and breed mistrust, what is to be said of the American Admiralty? How can Mr. Johnson be sure that what has happened will not happen again? His argument requires that both circumstances and national 'charac ter should change on both sides of the Atlantic. We are to become irresolute,backward and chary. We are to become Insensible to that honor which, if anywhere, we console ourselves we have main tained on th ei sea. We are to be incapable of do ing on a grand and open scale that which was lately done here on the smallest possible scale,tr regularly and surreptitiously, yet with astound ing success. The crime charged against those privateers was that they were British in every re spect whatever,except a flag and a captain's com mission. On the other hand,the Americans are to do on a colossal scale what they failed to do in miniature. By their own estimate, they lost more in the late war by the ships that durst not show themselves at all, but kept in harbor, for fear of those two monsters, than by the actual captures. Then, in the present state of American politics, who can count on the permanence of the status quo in any respect ? How would a foreign war operate on the Federal question? Wonderful and unexpected things have happened on that fabulous soil: witness the death or maiming of a million men in the field. What has happened may still happen. Bo also may that which has not happened, nor even been imagined, The Eastern Situation. All the Turkish ports have been reopened to the Hellenic flag, and the measures ordered against Greek subjects are abrogated. Negotia tions for an effective resumption of relations be tween Turkey and Greece are being actively pro secuted, and the nominations of a Turkish Min ister at Athens and a Greek one at Constanti nople will take place speedily. Hussies and Prussia. The Russian Government is highly incensed at Count Bismarck's speech respecting the confis cation of State property, and the Emperor has intimated to the King of Prussia that he hopes Pueb an unjustifiable proceeding will not be en forced. Discovery at Pompeii. The Italia of Naples announces that at Pompeii there have just been discovered two marble busts —one of Pompey and the other of Brutus. They are both of line execution, and have been placed in the National Museum. FROM DELAWARE. iCorreeeendence et the rallaaelphts Evenlna Bulletin.] DovRE, Del., Match 11, 1869.—The recent cold spell of weather was received in this section with breathless suspense, but now as king Frost has released his icy grasp with the advent of a genial sup, hope has arisen once more in the breast of peach-growers when' they find that no material iejury has been sustained. From all quarters of Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland the indications are favorable for a large crop of peaches. The resolution which passed the House of the Delaware Legislature so unanimously some days ago in favor of a union of the Peninsula into one State, has met with a general response from the whole press of thePeaLusula,in favor of the project with one exception. The resolution has, how ever, been allowed to slumber in the Senate until but faint hopes are now entertained of its final passage. The city of Wilmington appears to be the great object of special legislation,evidently for partisan purposes. Wilmington has the audacity to be a Repuhlican city, which fact has aroused the earnest solicitations of our Democratic Legisla ture to endeavor- to change its politics.. To at tain that great object a bill has been introduced in the House by Mr. Dean, of/ New Castle, to allow all persons to vote at the' charter election by the payment of a State and County tax within two years. Heretofore no person could vote un less they had within two years paid a city and school tax. Next we have the introduction of a bill by Mr. Gooding, of Wilmington, into the Senate, to di vide the city into nine Wards, latd out so as to Insure the success of the Democratic party. It also provides for the abolition of the office of Al derman; the election of the President of the City Councils at large by the people; two members of City Council from each Ward, and, by way of pro caution ,It provides for the appointment of a Dem ocratic Inspector in each Ward to hold the first election under the new amended Charter. If all these efforts do not change the politics of the city, perverse Indeed must be the people of that Radical stronghold! But all these efforts will in gloriously fail. The people who so generously confided in and supported the great Captain of the age, who now guides the helm of State, cannot be induced to sail in so strange a craft and under a banner they have so often repudi ated. The new revenue bill will be laid upon the desks of the members to day. A resolutloa was passed yesterday to have five hundred copies of the bill printed for that purpose. The provisions of the bill are not known out side of the Committee on Ways and Means, hat enough is known to.ehow that the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Company will have the brunt of taxation of the State to bear. No suit has been instituted against said Road set, although a resolution was passed some weeks ago to that effect. DELAWARE.

The commander of the island instantly telegraphed to the vessels Ma-- Honed at Trieste and Zara, and to the commander of the squadron at Gravosa, to proceed at once to the scene of the accident; and the iron-clad frigate Ferdinand Max, as well as the gunboat Hum and the steamer Andreas Hofer, were im medi-tely despatched to Lissa with orders to tett der any assistance that was necessary and possi ble tinder the circumstances:.

The Radetzky was under sail, on a cruise for gun practice, and had no steam up, so that she accident could not have been caused by the ex plosion of the boiler or a cylinder.
