FINEST QUIITV BEST STYLES. CiDS'r A Probable Change hi the Method of Transporting the Foreign Matte,' The N. V - . Tribune says: The Trilune3 Washington despatches of yesterday alluded to a difficulty which bad arisen between the Postal Department and the Cunard, Inman, 'Bremen and Hamburg, lines of steamers, which have heretofore carried the foreign mails.- The facts as stated in the intenA of the steamship company aro as fol lows : About two months ago the Po4lllP.Stei- General agreed to a postal convention with. Great Britain, by which postage between the two countries was reduced from twelve to six cents per letter. On the 2.Sal. of Deco uher the lines now carrying mails (rein this port were notified that after the :Ist .of January, 1870, they would only get two cents a letter; or ..ents an otancefor carrying the mails; and en receipt of this notification they- immedi ately informed the Postmaster that they could not perform the Service. The post-office au thorities are negotiatiug with the Inman, An chor.and several other linesto carry the mails, but the negotiations have not vet been con chided. The amount paid to die Cunard hue, alone for this service last year"was ;;,167:,000. As the present contract expires ou Saturday. January'. 1870, this inotement on the part of the Companies forek tine Department to• take ; hffinediateaction if they wish to send off turf regular mail next week. Postmaster -General Creswell and Mr. Blackford, the Superinten dent of Foreign Mails, arrived in town last night, and they will to-day .htild a consulta tion with Gen. Jone;4 and others as to the best mode of arranging the matter. Front thetcrwe get tlte following facts: , The rate- charged these steamerstor first-Class freight, is :i:10 p er tun, less than , a, half, cant per pound. There is no hind of freight which requires less trouble titan the malls,' as tiny are merely taken on and put off,: reqUiring no handling at all while on hoard, yet: the rate paid for foreign letter transportation during the past teo:yeats has been cents per , ounce,'_ qr 57,103 per ton. Following out his prineiple'oe cheap postage, Mr. Crenvell has agreed with the English GerVernment, : to reduce:, the postage required on letters to six cents,` 'in stead of V. At this time last year it was reduced from 24 to 12, occasioning a great in crease of , correspondence, 'ln order , to, balance some degree the diminution 'ln:, charges, Mr.. Creswell 'decided to diminish , also . the immense" Height - rates paid these stediEhbOats to six cents per ounce, or 52,110 per ton. The steamboat monopolies having, refused tcinceerit GOVernment freight on these terms, or at two • hundred, times the price charged private indiyiduals,seena now likely to lose their fat Job altogether. What Mr. Ores well intends to do we are not at liberty to say, but lie says he is determined that foreign steam ship Monopolies shall not interfere :with.the grand future of cheap postage. It is hoped on all sides .that this occurrence ; : which shows; ow dependent we are on foreign lines of steamers; may stir up the people to, start an American steamship 'inc..' ANA° the Government subsis dies, this postage business alone, which will pay over SIAM.) :per year for tlffi transporta tion of live tons of letters per month, werdd he a subsidy of itself.,Besides which Con-' -gross may hecome"exited' over this sharp trick which has been attempted on them, and give further aid to an opposition line under • the American flag. "And if the boys get at them," as .1‘411".. Creswell re marked, referring to the United States Con gress, "they will make short work of them." The plan Upon which the Postal Deaspartment, is now working is to agree upon a cheap in ternational postage with all the nations of En rope, as soon as possible, and to follow it up by a universal Money-order system,which will greatlyinprease the opportunities of thepoor for intercommunication, and consequently tend to increase emigration, as well as to the benefit of the whole public. . 4,11114.., —A drop Jotter. was recently sent to . the: Washington papers containing the followhjg. modest piece_ of ready-Made .intelli once,: "Mr. and Mrs. , Franklin Kinney, ' Mies; KinneY; or La Belle Anffiricaltie,'.as Ow *as: called in , Erarope, have' just -returned' from, abroad... was admired . kings' and:: princes.

The Roman correspondent of the London News writes on December 8: The religious ceremony preceding the opening of the Coun cil now began. His Holiness having invoked the protection of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit.ollered the following prayer : " 0 God, who liaSt left us, under a wonderful Sacrament, the memory of Thy passion, grant, we beseech Thee, that we nay so adore the sacred mysteries of -i thy body and blood that tVe; may confirm. - - ally ' feel within its the fruit of Thy re demption. God, who has taught the hearts of the 'faithful with the - light of the Holy Spirit, grant us wisdom in the same Spirit, and to re joice in. His consolation. tolott, our refuge and virtue, hear the pious prayer of Thy Church, Thou who art the Author of piety, and grant' that through the intercession of the . -blessed and ever glorious Virgin Mary, the Mother _of God, and of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all. the Saints, we may effectually obtain what we faithfully ask: Guide our actions, we beseech Thee, Lord, by Thy impulse, and give them effect -by Thy aid; that all our prayers and works , may begin and end in Thee." The members of the Council thou proceeded to the Cotmeil-hall, and occupied their respec tive seat—his Holiness making confession to the Cardinal-Deacon of the Holy College, who was to celebrate the mass of the Immaculate Conception, with the addition of the prayer 1)e Sarieto Spiritn," When the mass, proper was over, the sermon having been delivered, not at the usual time, but near the end of the' ceremony, the Poo took his seat, arid was dressed in the l'ontitleal ye:SU - nerds; as though he - were about 'to say mass. The members of the Connell .then, one by out, each carrying his ;nitre in Lis hand, made their obeisance ; the Cardinals kissing the Popp's hand, the Patriarchs, Archbishops.and Bishops, his right knee, and the Abbots his foot. His Holiness then rising,•while all the Others knelt down, made the foll Owing prayer : We are present, 0 Lord Holy Ghost—we are present, fettered indeed in the . magnitude of sin, but specially assembled t Thy name. l'onie to us and be with us and deign to abide in our hearts. Teach u swhat to do, where to go,'anci show us what we should effect, that with Thy hillp we may plea.se Thee in all things: Be our salvation and the guide of our judgments. Thou who, alone with God the Father Mill His Son, dolt possess the glorious name, Thou who lovest the most perfect erjuity, sutler no disturbers of justice; let not ignorance draw.us into the wrong path ; let, no laver warp us, nor regard for gills or per sons corrupt us, but, bind us effectually to Thee; by the gilt of Thy grace alone, that we may be one in Thee, that we may in nothing swerve from the truth ; that, as sembleffin Thy name, we may observe in all things justice and piety; that, here our opinions inay in nothing clash with Thee, and that hereafter we may obtain the everlasting re waxds of our weft:doing. Tire prelates answered, "Alien." After the chanting of the Litany and some other.prayera,in Which the preSenee and aid of the Holy Spirit were asked for, the Prefectt, of the Ceremonies cried out in a loud voice, ".Exeunt onmeB 77,111 ha/'AO ie Goneitio" =that is to say, Let all who have no right to be here retire.

For a day or two rumors have been in circu lation in financial circles relative to irregu- Laxities in the affairs of the Merchants' Ex change National Bank, No. 2.57 Broadway, but until yesterday .nothing definite could be ascertained. It then became certain that there was trouble in the bank, but of . what nature few could tell, since the officers were exceed ingly reticent, and, while admitting the hire ularities, declined to tell how they arose. As g far as they have vet been developed, the fitcts in the case are these : On Friday of last week one of the higher oflicets, iu looking over the books, discovered that an entry opposite the name of a certain country bank was incorrect, the bank being credited with an amonnt ninth in excess of its actual deposit. He re ported his discovery to the Directors. A meeting was called and a committee appointed to investigate. They found that the loss of the bank was about 5155,000, the aggregate of transactions which had been. running on for two years or more. How the amount has been obtained • these gentlemen. are •not yet ready to disclose. It is said, however, that by suing the balances of the country lianks _which deposited -with. the Merchants Exchange bank, making one good from another when occasion required, and making the necessary, book entries,the cashier, Mr. Edward J. Oakley, was enabled to devote large sums to private purposes.• Mr. Cor 'nehus Oakley, a tobacco broker, brother. of the cashier, has, it is alleged, been spectilating somewhat largely for a year or :MY°, and always, unluekily, on the losing side. His capital was small, and soon exhausted, 'and in some way, it is thought, he prevailed upon his brother .to advance him money`` from time to time to carry on his speculations., 11l luck continued to, attend him—he bought high and sold and on Monday Was declared failed. It is not thought that a single dtillar of the money missing has been used by . Mr. Edward J.
