Now, h . 14116, fieriff's sale of Mr. Reed's household far , 10116 took place the other day, can 4:i4rooly he said to bare been advertised at all. The furnitture was sold at his 'tte •somi-ntral residence at • Chestnut Bill, and only a few of the neighbors inewanything about it. The consequence ,? waSapoor attendance of buyers,' little or no. Usainpetition; and a general sacrifiee of all the . effects: The anregate proceeds ' was only , fi qabonto thousand dollars. .And yet there were .Y• Imam' things amounting in real valve to more this. There were handsome Chinese yeses — arid ornaments—trophies of 'Mr. Reed's splendid mission to the Fast—that would have ',brought good prices if collectors of such things , :had been 'notified of the'salo. There were; ' • too, many trifles, in theinselves worthless, for .-, which "fancy prices" might have been obtained of. such persons as, hunt after ,sonvenirs of distinguished characters, liter:llly, diplomatic, _ .. • political, or criminal. - • The injustice of this almost clandestine mode of disposing of property for the benefit of a "wronged creditor ought to be apparent to every Aare; But it is part of the system in Philadel • phia, where, if a man "in good society" is brought to disgrace, there is a mawkish delicacy about exposing the fact, which is not shown - when a poor, unknown and . friendless man 'conies to'sorrow and ruin, oven without dis grace, and from no fault of his own. If the .facts concerning Mr. Reed's transactions had been given out by those possessing them, their • publication by such papers as have no fear of telling the truth, might have had a good moral effect. At all events, if the fact of a sale of his furniture liad been properly announced, the proceeds would have been four or • live thousand dollars, instead of a paltry one thousand. In England, 'the country whose people, laws and customs Mr. Reed has been fond of upholding as examples for imitation here, they do these things' differ ently. Within a few months, the transactions • of the Duke of Newcastle—representative of an ancient family that Mr. Reed admired very ! much—were made widely known through the English papers, and when his effects went under the hammer, there was an excitement and a , competition which produced a very .handsome net result for his creditors. When other distinguished and titled men, like Sir .John Dean' Paul, for instance, commit embez zlements, the facts are made known' through the press, and the arrest, trial, con-' viction and . punishment either by imprisonment 'or transportation are 'part of the news of the day, which no inde- Tendetat paper, pretending to give news, can . possibly ignore. But, while scores of little ,pilferings and breaches of the peace by un known, poor, friendless 'outcasts have been . thought worthy of being announced in the daily newspapers of Philadelphia dnriug the past week or two, not one of them except the EVENINCi BULLET] N has made the slighest al lusion to the infinitely worse °deuces of Wil liam B. Reed. This must be because he is a prominent Democrat, an ex-Minister to China, a man of .fine talents and education, and hold ing a high social position. Of course the idea that such silence has been purchased is absurd; for we know enough of the respectable portion of the press of Phila delphia to be able to declare that it is honest and incorruptible. But it is too apt to be,either totally silent, or tender and mealy -mouthed, When a man of mark commits a wrong, espe tially if be has relatives of good character, whose feeling may be hurt by an exposure. We have no rnenT)S of knowing what, were .all - the causes that brought Mr. Reed 't.O' ruin and disgrace. Some speak of extravagaut living; others of operations in gold and against the Government that be avowedly bated and de.- -- plsed., which of course brought 1 osses as the Government credit advanced. It is enough to know that this highly cultivated and talented individual Las been brought to ruin, and his ruin Las involved many good and innocent people; including women and children, in ter rible losses. IBS effects are in the Sheriff's bands, and to be sold under a judgment ob tained by the heaviest creditor. The household furniture has been sacrificed, as we have already said. -The-- library is to be sold on Monday afternoon, and we are glad of - the chance of again calling attention to it. Messrs. ' M. Thomas & Sons advertise it, and, under their management, the public need not be ignorant of it. The catalogue is before us, and • it'shows a collection rich in such works as people of taste, who are really and, intelligently fond of reading,might be proud to possess. There is hardly any work of the standard light literature of the English language that does not appear in the Collection. In a certain new department of literature it is exceptionally rich; for it seems to contain all the known works written • by Southerners in reference to the late rebel lion. But there are a good many people in Phila delphia who like such works, who will value them more than ever from their having been Mr. Reed's property. if any of them lack his autograph, that can probably be purchased cheap, on making inquiries of the Sheriff and ' others. Among the books of real value is Pent/cants, with the autograph of Thackeray, who was, while in America, one of , the victims of Mr. Reed's fascinations, and who suffered-himself to be corresponded with by him, just as other men now suffer„ themselves ,to be " interviewed " by meddlesome _reporters. There is also a copy of one of Anthony Trollope's novels, with an autograph letter from the author. The sentimental value . of tins will be increased when it is known that Mr. 'frollope, in coming to America in the early part of our civil war, had letters to Mr. • Reed, who introduced, him into the "Society not Mixed" which he described in his travel book, • • and which the foolish cockney .• *might was the best society in Phila • and that because treason was the • only .talk, in such society, it was impos rade' that the Southern rebellion could . .. be pat down. There are in the collection live s of Stonewall Jackson, Benedict Arnold, Jeffer son Davis and General Joseph Reed ; lint, by some strange oversight, there is none of Judas THE DAILY EVENING HOLLETIN - 7 - PHILAPEVIIIP, B,I\4',URDA DEOEMBER kIHEET, Iscariot.- Perhaps , . the 'omission of the great prototype is notimpOrtant.

But, whither he was or wits not sincere, the language employed by hipiw.as silly, libellous; nd false. He declared that " godless papers' gloated over, Mr. Beecher's mistake • • • • papers which had never given utterante to ksound moral sentiment before," He 'declared that, :these journals, "all at once - discovered that they had a strong sympathy for the caiise of Christianity and the moral purity of the human race; So as to justify their hypocritical whines." Mr. Beecher's " friend4Should stand by him when diabolism sought to hound him down, &c., &c." New, the fact of the Matter . is, that the .newspapers of the country, with hardly an exception, discussed the ac tion, of Mr. Beecher and Mr. Froth ingbam in an earnest, proper and emr- temis' spirit, just as they would discuss any other subject which required, as this did„ outspoken condemnation. It will' be admitted by every honest , man who can read, that the newspaper press has generally a high moral tone, andthat it is prompt and vigorous in its denunciation of vice, and crime. It must he so as long as it representS a respectable community. In this case two Ministers of the gospel, one of them a man of enormous influence, deliberately lent themselves to what most persons consider a perpetration of the crime of bigamy; and by the death-bed of a man who was. killed for a grave ' offence against an individual and against society, uttered appeals to the Almighty which seemed to be blasphemous. The people Were, shocked at .this spectacle, and the newspapers gave expression to this feeling. The offence attracted much attention because of tfie promi nence of one 'of the participant,Sland because' of his influence for harm, the denunciations were made severe and.-were often repeated. That Mr. Beecher (NI offend, no unprejudiced person will douht. He has admitted his faillt himself, and 'even Mr. Gough is compelled to characterize his conduct as a " mis take."''The fact of the error was discovered by the community before Mr. Beecher's con science troubled:him. That the discovery was proclaimed . and an explanation demanded, does not indicate the existence of " diabolism " iu the hearts of newspaper editors, whose moral sensibilities are as keen„—as their intel lects are brighter—than those of Mr. John B. Gough; nor is there any propriety in character izing' the bold language of the press as "hypo critical whines:" What had to' be 'said was said plainly, hut in nicer rhetoric, in more tasteftil manner, and with fewer violent; abusive epi thets than Mr. Gough uses in his reply. If he thought it necessary to resurrect this buried subject, it would have been better if he had treated it with some of that gentlemunly pro , . priety for whiehhe professes so much admira tion. But it was not, necessary; for Mr. Gough's opinion 6. not of any consequence whatever, and he may be sure that with his very moderate wit, he will find it harder to oppoSe himself to public opinion than Mr: Beecher did with his great powers and commanding influence: As an entertaining speaker. upon temperance themes, Mr. Gough has won some popularity ; but if he undertakes to become the apologist of such sins as that committed by Henry Ward Beecher, he will ascertain that his bold upon public favor is not quite so strong 'as he thinks it to be. PAPERS AND POLITICS IN PARIS. The liberty lately allowed to the French press has produced so much that is abominable, senseless and ridiculous, that one can hardly wonder that the press has been restrained in past years. There are but one or two, among the many journals of Paris, that discuss politi cal, financial, social or moral , questions with gravity, dignity or reason. Those that do ven ture upon such discusSion are unpopular and limited in- circulation. The- papeiS largely sought after and read are those that scoff at everything; that make a jest of the most se rious subject; that destroy a reputation for the sake of a pun; that ridicule a virtuous woman's modesty, extol the effrontery of a fast wo man, and devote column after column, day, after day, to the doings, the dressing, the ex travagance and the luxury of bad women who, are varicusly called the "demi-monde,"or "co cottes," or by other names which, after all, have one single English synonym, which, de cent papers are - not in the habit of printing. In the department of criticism the papers that are popular in Paris devote Most of their labor and space to the showy spectacles, the vulgar "nudity" dramas, the indecent ballots and the nasty burlesques of operas which Offenbach brought into fashion some years ago. At times a well-written comedy is noticed; but unless it has a plot in which matrimonial infidelity is involved, and unless it . exalts illicit love ac cording to the Richardson-yrothirighim- Greeley-l3eecher--/ndepelident and Revolution formula, it is not considered worthy of, critical - examination by the writers on the papers most relished by the Parisians. Of criticism of literary works above the....plays. of the period, such papers contain little or nothing. Not that, such works are not written, and many of them of a high order of merit; not that they are not read by a certain portion of the French people that is probably superior to the corresponding class in any other country of the earth. But the newspaper reading class of Paris would be bored by serious consideration of serious ,sub jects ; and the small number who would look for this in a daily paper Are told that other things pay better, and if they want learned criticism they must go, to the Revue cl.s'Deux, Nondes, or some of the heavy periodicals that do not pretend to amuse the public of Paris. • A's for polities in the Paris newspaperti, the subject seems to be treated as frivolously and flippantly as are all other subjects.

The faction represented by this paper is called, often derisively, ".,tire. Breconellables.” Bo ,< tweeu it 'and the moderate Republicans, the last grade of , which blends ,with the supporters of the . there' are is number of organized; divisions, inr, each of which ,there are ''various' shades of 'opinion. This chaos into which the Republicans 'of France have come, under the present tolera tion, has revived an ancient witty, saying of 31, Dupont de Iture : Republic. will not be possible so long as we have any_ Republi cans left." In fact, `there is no leader' 'of Re publicanism in France,., just. As there- is no leader of any other party, except- 'the ' party in power—the, party by the name of Napoleon, who, so long as he retains his health and re,a son, seems destined to remain master of France. Ile and his dynasty have b e en made stronger by the very divisions into :Which his new-fangled toleration has thrown all the op position. The news department of a Paris journal diners widely from that of a live, wide-awake Amerithi journal. The telegraphic news does net average one-eighth of that which is given dailyto the readers of the Evfornici The news of the Bourse is pretty full, because stock speculations are carried on to an enor mous extent in Paris. The news of the Impe rial. Court is given in a formal manner, and some of the papers give pretty full reports of the proceedings of the two houses of the Legis lative body when it is in session. The local news, in the sense adopted by Americanjournalists,is riot worth considering as a special department of a Paris daily paper. When some horror like the murder of the Kinek family occurs, the newspapers make the most of It; so they do of, a duel between notable characters, or a nasty scandal among people too poor to buy, their silence. But the general run of daily ,occur rences in Paris, whiCh are as interesting as they can be in any city in the world, is not re corded in the, papers. The little string of items, which each paper prints under the head of ,4 Faits Divers," is generally lively and readable. But it often contains pule in dis guise, and shows marks of being purchaseable at so much a line. The new toleration to the Paris papers, while it has produced this confusion of which We have spoken among the political parties, and has made the different organs of. the oppo sition to the Emperor comparatively harmless, has made some of the papers very lively., They sparkle all over with that piquant wit which is peculiarly French, and which is stim ulated by rivalry as much as it is by toleration. Each leader' of each, clique in each party is a target for' 'every journal of every, other party. The personality gives spice to the daily,dishes thus served to the' public of Paris. But, after all, it is a false and useless,-if not an injurious feature of journalism, that , its chief popularity should arise from personal sparring among the Writers tbr the press and the politicians of the period. SECRETARY FISH AND CUBA. A number of the newspapers that have devoted themselves to the Cuban cause, and have become the,, persistent advocates of recog nition of the rebels, have intimated plainly that the policy of Secretary Fish in the matter, is the result of a desire upon his part to further the interests of his son4n-law, Mr: Sydney Webster, who is the attorney for the Spanish Government. This story has for a long time furnished a text for abusive articles to the editors of certain piractical and irresponsible sheets in this City; and to reckless and un scrupulous journals like the New York Sun. Coming from such sources, an accusation of this description needed no . refutation. But as- it- has been accepted and reiterated by respectable and influential papers, that are zealous, in their advocacy of the recognition of Cuba, it is but just to de nounce it as a mean and scandalous libel, which hai not a particle of truth to give it a flavor of trustworthiness. The high personal character of Mr. Fish alone would suffice to make belief in such a theory impoSsible ; but there is a certain -measure of absurdity in sup posing that any Secretary of State would under take to shape the .policy of the government, and: to oppose .the Wish of the nation, merely that he might enable his son-in-law to win a small success with a single client. More than tbis, these slanderers would have us believe, as a necessary result- of their assertion, not only _ that Mr. Fish IS laboring to advance - Mr. Webster's interests, but that the President, and Senator Sumner, and other men, high in office and of pure reputation,like wise are enlisted in behalf of the attorney, and are. sacrificing Cuba and the national sentiment to help hint along. "For the President in his message plainly declared in favor of that policy of non-intervention, the authorship of which is attributed to Secretary Fish, and he 'is not the man. to accept the theory or to express the Views 'of another, unless he has firm' faith in them himself. Mr. , Sumner, too, is opposed to recognition of the. Cubans at this time, and we believe that a majority of the Senators and Representatives entertain his views. Further than this the cautious action recommended by the President,and endorsed by the Secretary of State, is inexact accordance with the opinions **pressed by a large num ber of the most influential newspapers ,of the country, and there is no doubt whatever that these fairly repreSentL—as the President doe S - great mass of intelligent and thoughtful Americans in this matter. We believe that a vote In Congress upon the question, Shall the Cuban rebels recognized? would result in a large negative majority ; and if the question Were submitted to the country we should, very , likely, -obtain - the- Smna - ;Niew ,ofc,tbesa .things; , the r Own , hew, ed 10% :crettuy Fish ' isi 'scandalous; and . i&ked.

The sentimental sympathy for Cuba ' which was felt by many of our people at the time Of the outbreak Of the rebellion, las iielded'to common sense and to a jest regard for our own interests; men who condemned the Secretary at first, thank him . 'zloty. If he adheres to his present the number of those who will acknowledge the wisdom of his course will be largely increased, as the folly of the friends of Cuba becomes more evident. 01111140111011EILAT STEAMERS. The advantage to the commerce of Philadel phia from the trade carried on by the steamers of the Philadelphia and Southern Mail Steamship Company, cannot be estimated. The com pany has had many difficulties to contend with, and has antlered some serious losses. But it has created and is calving on a large and very advantageous trade with the ports of Wilming ton, N. C., Savannah, New Orleans and Da vaisa. It now owns five excellent steamships, and last year these were run with a small pre fit to the company. This will unquestionably be increased in future years, as the condition of the South improves. At a late meeting of the Board of Directors, it was resolved to pro cure an additional subscription of at least $50,- 000 to the stock -of the company. Of thLs sum $86,000 has been subscribed, 'conditioned on the procurement of the remainder. This will place the company entirely out of debt, and enable it to persevere in its business under very advantageous circumstances. A statement of the entitles of merchandize transported by these steamers, during the present year, has been prepared, which is too long -for our columns. But here are a few items that may serve as illustrations. Among the shipments to Wilmington from Philadel phia were 1,545 packages of ale and beer; ,17,949 bushels of corn and wheat ; 1,315 bar rels of flour; 2,038 tons of coal; 2,515 packages of groceries; 1,989 kegs of nails ; 4,864 pack ages of stoves and hollow-ware, &c., tio. To Savannah, 10,214 packages of ale and beer ; 60,800 of stoves and hollow-ware; 12,563 of groceries; 20,069 of assorted merchandize; 8,699 barrels of fertilizers, &c. . The lines to New Orleans and Havana also carried out great quantities of Philadelphia manufactures. The different lines brought to this port nearly three million feet of lumber; about 27,000 bales of cotton, and vast quantities of sugar, molasses, naval stores, shingles, fruit, &e. The number of passengers carried during the year was 1771. Such a trade as this is of value to Philadelphia far beyond the cost of creating and maintaining the line of steamers, and we trust it may not be many days before we hear that the whole amount of , new subscriptions required to the stock of the company has been obtained. An enterprise of such importance ought not to ask long for the few thousand dollars required to relieve it from all embarrass ments. Chief Engineer GraelY has presented a careful and very interesting report upon the important question of the future water supplies of Philadel phia. lie indicates the points where steam power should be established, and where the additional reservoirs should be built for the storage. of water. lie very properly assumes that the Schuylkill, properly managed, is ample for the supply of Philadelphia, and expresses the opinion that the addition of two feet to the dam will largely increase both 'tie supply and pumping-power of the Fairmount Works. Mr. Graeirs opinions and suggestions are entitled to the highest respect, as coming from a practical engineer, thoroughly familiar with his subject, and. fully alive to its whole import ance. His communication will; 'doribtlas, re ceive the earnest attention of• Councils, but it will require a very considerable time before his.rf;commendations can be carried into effect. Meantitne, there should, by all means, be some suitable temporary provision made to guard against the effeeta of another - dretight nest rummer. We are just as likely to suffer from one as not, for there is no rule of alternation of seasons in our climate to forbid the probability. We hope that the idea of utilizing the abundant supply of water 'below the dam, is not yet to be entirely abandoned. Mr. Graetl's objections on this point are strong and sensible, but ingenuity and engineering may overcome them. Nothing short of an absolute impossi bility should deprive the city of that large source of water-supply.

Although everybody of the proper age will be allowed to vote, it vs expected a full vote will not be polled, and on this account fears are entertained in some quarters that the propositions' for a Conven tion will not carry, especially as it is under stood that Itadicals, vilute and black, will poll their full strength, and to a man, against the Convention. With all this I , will risk the prediction that the Couvelition will wry by twenty-five or thirty thousand majority. Thousands of ex-confederates, who have not voted for half a dozen years,will hardly he inclined to let slip the luxury.of casting their ballots at the first chance. The perseruiel of the coating Convention will stand very high. The ablest men in the State have generally . been selected, and this in itself fur nishes a fair indication that no uncalled-for - or revolutionary measures will be adopted. It is safe to say now, in advance, that the ma jority of the delegates will favor a provision making suffrage universal, although there will be a determined and respectable-opposi tion.

FR that . , Dec. 17.—Wall ,street was in aferment to-day Wier the (theta atiene of Use gold market and the causes latineticing the premium on the precious metal. The excitement In the Gold Boom was at titles feverish, and not euly was the crowd great within its pretncte. but all the speculative eyes of Wall street were directed to wertlit. Geld alai stoat have of bit acted so sympa thethially that operation% in the latter have been, to a itrelat extent, guided by the movements of the former. The . operations of the Treasury let selling gold have. also lent peculiar.. interest to the gold speculation, and hence as to-day was on the programme for the *ale et a million by the gevernment there was great anxiety to know what pol icy eteruld be pursued by Mr. Beutwell, erveThillf as on the ateli ultimo he refused to sell below tel. All the worming there was an active canvaseing on the subject. and as the hoar of neon approached the crowd rne,,,e,i from the Gold Room across into the Sub-Treasury.. The price up to this time bad ranged from 121.% down to lgele, and thence back to lit yust before twelve - o'clock, when a report was circulated that Mr. Feller had beet: inetructed to notify the street that no bele below would be considered. On the dieoyvery that this re pert was untrue gold full to 1-I.i. Much dtuppoin anent was also felt when en the opening of the bids it was found they were for an aggregate a only 84 , ?...000, at prices rumples item 1:1 to 112..52. Mr.Folger telegraphed the fasts to Iti aeldregtun, and meantime there was a must feverish feelin in the Gold Room, the " b elle" being con - tideut that the delay iu the answer was favorable to their Aide of the bones. I receipt; however, of laetrile-- thins to accept all the bids submitted) to-day there NW) a riedi to sell. and the price broke to the lowest of the year; end the lowest in tact since September. It-il. lterairte were et t ere &rad current that Mr. Boutwell haul net only ordered the withdrawal of the complement of the million offered to day, but the btlspVELSIVit of future sales below 122. whereupon the price reacted to lenT. s , hit eventually closed at I.ll . , , ealDes.e. The ant portion ul this report is authentic. The other was only rumor begotten of the eseitement of the day. The next s ale does not occur until Tuesday. and, meantime. both" and" hears . are allorded ample food for reflection. The action of the Secretary of the Treasury has met with a great ant of condemnation in-commer cial circles where hasinees has been sufficiently dull ithout the further obstruction of lower gold. The Opinion ef Wall street is not - to be-regarded - ot any moment, for the reason that feelings in that region are simply speculative. The only indignatiOn there is from the chagrined gold "belle.' But the effect him been dis coeraging, if trot dieheartening, in the legitimate busi uese enartere it the city. and many a merchant lies Wels borne to-night all the sadder for the action of Mr. 13outwell. The Seeretery of the Treasury has a very difficult rule to May at thie cases, and some consideration must had fur the per - pleeeties of hie poeition: The areeptanee of the bids to-day looks like the desperate act of a person en) surrounded with perplexity end doubt. The sales of gold by the goverument were originally euggeeted when the, cliques were" cornering the market. to the dOtri meat of the importers. This necessity no longer evicts. Might not 31r. ilontwell try a suspension of his gold sales fur the prevent and thus :eracefully withdraw from the embarrassment in which he finds himself' At this sea son, when we are exporting cotton and produce. the Government ought not to ens eavor to retinee the ptaitite of its citizens. In summer, when we Are importing : such sales are neueficial. but iu winter,wheu gold is naturally heavy, owing to the competition it exports, it v onW seem politic to leave the market to itself. Mr. Boutwell :Mee not need currency , for his balance in that line is large enoogh to allow hint to continue the commendable prectice ot buying In the public debt. Government bowls were weak.at the opening, but be. can. o strong at the noon board, owing to the rise In gold to 12'2. With the subsequeut decline to ltalle the whole market broke down.

THE DRAPER. CASE. • QCABTER Sr.ssioNs--.Judge Ludlow.—This morning the case of Mr. George NV. Draper was resumed upon his application upon a writ of habeas corpus to be discharged from the Pennsylvania Institution for the Insane. Mr. Warriper, for Mr. Draper, stated that several important witnesses were absent, one having left the country and the other too ill to appear. He concluded, however, to go on with the case, it being understood that the testimony had closed on both sides, the re s-pondents declining to any evidence ex cept the letter writen by , Mr. Draper, which was produced at the previous meetingand the examination of the Committee. ...... Mr. Warriner, inhis argument, said that the Court ought to decide what was the best to be done to thisman. He might be impaired in intellect, but that was no reason why he should be perpetually ,imprisoned. He was harmless, and as a citizen of this Common wealth has his rights, and he could not under stand the position of the Committee, except that there is an estate at the bottom. Mr. Clay asked permission to exlrnine the Committee. Robert Draper. sworn—l am the brother of the lunatic; I have known him BitlV!

The New York Tribune of to-day says : The Anchor line of steamers seems e.nfor ulnae!. A few months ago one of their extra 4, Steume r.i , the - United Kingdom. left this port for Gla.gow deeply laden,and with a-hundred or more souls on board. She has never been heard from since. The Grecian, Captain '...N.;ic01, a fine steamer, employed in the trade between Liverpool and the Mediterranean, but on the voyage bound from Palermo to New York,laden with a, cargo of marble and fruit, and twenty-three Italian tiassengers,has . been wrecked on our coast. The details of the disaster, and the rescue of the people en board are furnished US by an eye witne , ei. 1 The Greeian was well in with the land near Jones or New Inlet on the night of the 15th • inst., when a severe northeast gale set in, and in a short time a heavy fog cause on. The nature 'of her cargo caused the ship to labor very heavily, and the storm was so furious and. blinding that the ship was driven out of her reckoning. At 3 o'clock on the morning of the loth test., with scarce a minute's warn ing, the ship struck. At this time the storm was at its height and the sea was tremendohs. After striking; the force of the wind and sea drove her broadside on, and all hope of sav ing the vessel was abandoned. Rockets were sent up, and were seen by Capt. Waters, Su perintendent_ of the Atlantic Coast Wrecking Company, who, finding that it would be cer tain death to attempt to board her in the dark ness, and with such a terrific sea running, mounted, a horse and rode to New York, ar riving at 5 o'clock. In a very few minutes af terwards the steamer Yankee was on her way to the stranded vessel. • At daylight, Capt. Nicol, of the, Grecian, tearing that the ship would go to pieces; ordered two of his best life-hoats 'winched, and put into them !3 persons, trusting to land them in safety on the beach. It was almost hoping against hope, but still it was better to make the attempt then than to take the chances of !the ship going to prices, as she inevitably would in a few hours .at the most. The boats were freighted with their human cargoes amid great' peril, and the poor Italians.were nearly frightened to death, but thestont-hearted British tars succeeded. at last in getting clear with their boats. 'Day light wasjust breaking when the boats started. All'went well for ashort distanee,when one 'of the boats' was swamped. Captain j..N. Smith, an agent of the Atlantic Wrecking Company, launched hiti surf boat, and . succeeded to resciting the entire party% . The two.

McDougal is willing to enlist sava, ges in order to force his _yoke upon the Christian people at Winnepg. I learned that McDougal's emissaries were using every effort to induce the Swampy Indians, near the mouth of the Red River, 'to declare for Canada and to take up arias in favor or McDougal. The writer says that the notorious Shamman, cut-throat and out law fend, who instigated the Sioux to destroy the 11. S. mail on 'Ruffle's route to "Montana, had been furnished with an outfit, oftensiblly to trade -with the hostile Sioux encamped near the House River, but with the actual intention of enlisting from 400 to 600 of these bloody devils on the side of Canada and McDougal. lam sorry to inform you that Richards, Mc- Dougal's Attorney General, has confirmed the information, and in the presence of several gentlemen justified Canada aniliMe- Dongal in making nse of any force attainable for the purpose of subjecting the Red 'River people.'A postscript to this letter says : "It is sad news that Col. Dennis, the Dominion Sur veyor-General of the northwest territories, has succeeded in raising and arming some 200 Indians, with a number of their half-breedre lations, and that they have garrisoned the stone fort.. As soon as they-form a .inuetion ..with the Canadians,the Sioux of Minnesota,at Portage la Prairie,will march upon the Pro visional force at and near Fort Gariy." • • Gen. Kiel has called in his reserves, who were temporarily absent, and over 200 armed men are reported at headquarters within a few hours' march. A collision is hourly ex pected. Another letter says a proclamation, issued, by 31cDongal. has been captured and sup pressed. Intense excitement exists, and if it.comes to bloodshed, Dr. Schutz, Dr. Brown and James Boss will be the tint victems, they having from the first advocated the Canadian policy and abused the Hudson Bay Company.

The Beare bowl eir Over the Ileweitell of Gold. The Herala says: . • The. Gold Room was au unusually lively place yesterday, for several hours of the after noon: The announcement that the- Treasury gold had been sold below 122 created a tremen dous furor, and all the strength of the 'grim and grizzly bears wax brought together to run the tig,nre down to a point from which it wax sure to rebound to the standard recently fixed • by Secretary Boutwell. • Around the innocent, plashing fountain in • the centre of the Gold Room pale and eager men waved their , hands with frantic energy and shouted like incurable maniacs. Theo place had something the ap nearance it wore in war times, except, that • there was less risk of losing and less chants of making a fortune, and copsequently there was little of the high-strung gambling fever that oftentimes before marked the reckless encounters of hulls and bears. When gold touched 1201 the young men who 'do all the shotting seemed as if a few extra drops of excitement would send !: : them crazy or •' bust" them. lividly it. went no lower, and, save some accidents of a bronchial nature, the aforesaid young men came otlphysically unimpaired after the ' ,conflict. At the cub-Treasury there was a larger crowd than usual in the forenoon,,wait ing impatiently for the announcement of the bids and waiting afterwards still mitre linpa- tiently for the declaration of thettwardA which Secretary Boutwell, in the fullnero of his dom deemed himself prudent in Making. The smallness of the amount of gold disposed of excited much surprise, and the course of the Secretary in accepting anything under 122 eas curiously criticised. Between the sear !, Treasury and Wall street there was a ecie;e- less-running hither and thither of brokers and brokers' clerks, and though nething of any importance came of it, yet everybody seemed-to feel as if a crisis was impending.
