FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1861.
The Fall of n Great House.
Tlie late Duke of Buckingham and Chandos,
—who possessed a Dukedom, two Marquisates,
two Earldoms, one Viscount}-, and one Ba
rony,—and died in an obscure lodging in Lon
don, on the 29th July, under the alias of “ Mr.
Johnson,” succeeded to the titles and estates
worth $1,000,000 a year on the death of his
father, in 1889. He died almost a pauper, dis
graced and degraded. Related to Queen Vic
toria in blood, (actually belonging to the elder
Tudor branch, whereas she reigns through her
descent from the Scottish Stuarts,) a Knight
of the Garter and a Privy Councillor, his latter
years were uncared for, his death unwept.
"Worse than all, his own misconduct caused tho
ruin of fortune and fame.
His father was a Duke, and his mother a
Duke’s sole daughter and heiress. He was
born in 1797, married the Marquis of Broadal
bane’s daughter in 1819, (she obtained a divorce
from him in I 860,) sat in Parliament lor the
county of Bucks from 1820 to 1839, when lie
went into the Upper House, and, though he
spoke much as Demosthenes did, ere lie took
the pebbles out of his mouth, was such an
earnest advocate of the agricultural interest
that lie was called “ tho Farmers’ friend.”
The Marquis of Chandos, as he was called
by the courtesy which gives peers’ eldest sons
their fathers’ second title, was a rank Tory,
opposing Catholic Emancipation in 1827 ; ex
claiming against Canning’s libera! principles
at the same time, and. In 1828, going out of
his way to resist a Parliamentary vote pro
viding for the dead statesman’s family. Lord
Chandos protested against the grant, to mark
liis disapprobation of that minister’s princi
ples. Sir Thomas Acland, one of the most
honored of the Tory party, quietly expressed
liis regret at any such opposition, and Lord
Palmerston quietly observed that « Mr. Can
ning’s name would be venerated long after his
detractors had been consigned to oblivion.”
In 1829, when Wellington and Peel had de
termined to quiet Ireland by granting the
Catholic Claims, they found a loud antagonist
in the Marquis of Chandos, who, two years
later, aided them in attacking the Reform Bill.
In 1832, when that measure was in committee,
lie carried what since is known as the Ghandos
clause, giving to tcnants-at-will at £5O a year,
the right of voting in counties. It went far
to nullify the measure, as it places these nume
rous tenants at the mercy of their landlords.
His parliamentary career shows only the above
notubilia.
Going into the House of Lords in January,
1797, before lie had completed his forty
second year, and possessed of suqli Parlia
mentary influence that he could return five or
six members for the boroughs and counties of
Bucks, it is surprising that he did endeavor to
become a political leader. In 1841, when Peel
became Prime Minister, he was in a manner
compelled to give oflice to the Duke of Buck
ingham, who was appointed Lord Privy Seal.
Before Peel had been five months in office he
proposed to insert a paragraph in the Queen’s
speech-, relating to tho state of the laws affect
ing the importation, and the_ Duke, shrewd
enough to see Free Trade looming in tho
future, resigned ofiicc, but, when taunted by
Earl Fitzwiffiam in the House of Lords, boldly
avowed that he would not and could not change
liis views on the com laws, and, as an honest
man, he had withdrawn from the Ministry,
though ho should afford them a cordial support
on other points. In this year ho received the
honor of the Garter, and was created honorary
LL.D. at Cambridge.
In 1845 occurred what he doubtless con
sidered Ins greatest triumph, though it proved
the precursor of his fall. This was the visit of
Victoria and Albert to liis palace of Stowe.
At that place, as we mentioned yesterday, his
father had sheltered and entertained the exiled
Bourbons, with princely magnificence and hos
pitality. In 1805, Stowe was the scene of still
greater festivities than those lavished on tho
Bourbons. The lieir-apparent to the tliroue—
the Prince of Wales—was there received iu
great state, as well as the Duke of Clarenco,
Mr. Fox, and all the members of the Grenville
and Whig parties. Eight hundred persons were
invited to these entertainments, which con
tinued for several days; and the extensive gar
dens and immense grounds were illuminated
with 15,000 lamps, at an unheard-of expense.
As though this profusion were not sufficient,in
1808 the French princes were again received
and entertained at Stowe with the most lavish
hospitality. This system of profusion led to
that immense increase of expenditure, exceed
ing income, which ultimately crippled the re
sources of the first Duke, and ruined the for
tunes of the second.
Tho visit of Queen Victoria and her hus
band lasted three days. On tho 15tli of Ja
nuary, _1845, accompanied by a small suite,
they left the Wolverton station under an es
cort of yeomanry, passing through triumphal
arches aud crowds of people in holiday dress.
Grand dinners, shooting battues, halls, &c.,
followed in quick succession till Saturday
morning, the 18th. The expense was enor
mous. and Ihe Duke is well known to have
prided himself in entertaining Ids sovereign at
a cost to himself something fabulous in
amount. Tho Queen planted an oak and a
cedar— sebil arbores quorum fruclus Ipse acci
piel minquam-
As might have been expected, Punch made
merry cm some of the scenes and occurrences
of this visit—especially on a corps of five hun
dred laborers, dressed .up in clean smock
frocks, purporting to represent the Duke’s
happy tenantry, all washed ami shaved for tlie
occasion, who were drawn up at the garden
entrance to receive the Queen and her party.
Five shillings a man were paid to each, and a
tableau-maker, from tlie Victoria theatre, was
hired to groitpe the pseudo-tenantry in a pic
turesque manner. Another occurrence, du
ring this visit, excited much merriment
throughout England, when described in the
newspapers. It was determined to give Prince
Albert some shooting, and on a large portion
of the Stowe estate, of which Guernsey Hill is
the centre, the game had been so scrupulously
preserved that a person could scarcely walk
there without finding a hare on its form, a
pheasant strutting across his path, a partridge
on a tree, or a woodcock lazily Bitting over
head. So, the Prince had a ftaMtie—which, in
British sportsmanship, means a day’s firing
among this swarming superfluity of game. He
sat, at his case, in arm-chair, during one period
of tlie sport, popping away at the tame hares,
his attendants loading the guns, and handing
them to him as fast as he could discharge
them. All around a certain range, tlie keepers
had heat the covers where the hares lay, nar
rowing them into a circle for this Royal sport.
As Punch said,
Onee and again Prince Albert shot,
Once and again shot he ;
The hare, that erst on four legs ran,
Now limped away on three.
Bach keeper raised his hend, and struck
The hare upon tho head;
The Prince he shot, tho keepers knocked,
Until each hare was dead.
...50 cents.
The cost of entertaining the lioyal visitors
at Stowe, for three days, was $1,500,000. It
was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
In June, 184 G, the marriage of Sir. Gore
Lnngton, a wealthy Somersetshire squire, with
Lady Anna Eliza Grenville, the Duke’s only
daughter, took place. The patrician father
disapproved of the match. When his tardy
consent was given, and her fortune came to be
surrendered, and settlements discussed, the
truth came out: The Duke of Buckingham and
Chawlos was a beggar. Then followed the
crash—such a crash as England hod not seen
for many a long day, the final and total ruin of
a once princely-house, the exposure and de
gradation of its head, the destitution of its
members.
Here, as it tells the story much bettor than
we can, wc copy a graphic account from a
London paper:
Can any one forget those memorable weeks of
the Stowe sale in August and September, 1848 f
For a week previous to the sale (August 7-14) Stowe
was free to the public. Those gates, which only
three years ago were opened f?t a tyi9«q and ho?
suite, admitted a motley crew, aristocratic and
plebeian, to gloat over the treasures of tho palace, to
pry into ihe private chambers of noble lords and
ladies, and to discuss, with the eager inquisitiveness
of genteel compassion, tho fortunes of the ducal
houso, tho follies and the destitution of the princely
Grenvilles. Such an invasion of a palaoo never
was seen since the irruption of the victorious Greeks
into King Priam’s gorgeous halls—
Apparft domus intus et atria longa, pati'ficant,
Apparent Priami et vetorum penetralia reguni,
vUlunt atauttM in limine primo.
At domus Interior gemitu misorouue lumttUu,
Mtecctnr, &c.» iVc,» &c.—<
or since that of the Parisians into tho Tuilories after
Louis Philippe’s ignominious exit. And then, on tho
first day of tho salo. the great historian of England
sang a threnody over the fallen houso in tho
columns of a then loading cotomporary; then Ma
caulay startled the town by his impassioned tones of
pity, indignation, and contempt, which tho subject
kindled in one who had present in his mind the his
toric glories of tho race. In all his splendor of
word-painting did ho describe the company on the
road to Stowe (“ like the visitors to Epsom Downs
on a Derby Day”),the “great country picnic” in
the grounds, with, in the distance, fullcn trec3, tim
' her wagons, and extempore saw-pits; the “Pan
-1 theon-like vault of the central saloon,” the “ end
less vistas of gorgeous apartments,” the 60.00(1
| ounces of gold and silver plate sot out in tho state
j dining-room, the scales at. work weighing them ;
j forests of vases, candelabra, epergnes, royal gifts,
snuff boxes, and the like, and the Chandos testimo
nial, for which tho gentry and yeomanry of tho
I County subscribed £1,500, and which wua during
! the ifeok surrounded by a crowd of agriculturists,
: *• Ihe very originals of the figures thereon repre
sented. telling of the guineas they had contributed
to the ill-fated fnbric, but avowing, with unwearied
, gratitude, worthy of a safer if not a bettor oauso,
that they would gladly give the monoy over
| again. ” Tho portrait of Charles Brandon, Duke of
: Suffolk, the first founder of the family, by Holbein,
fetched £5O Ss., and other ancestors, by Holbein,
; Vnndyck, Lely, Kncllor, Gainsborough, Reynolds
: followed. Then came a look of silken hair, taken
‘ by some wretched Vandals from tbc head of Mary
Brandon, |wife of Charles and daughter of Henry
’ VII., whom they exhumed at Bury—“only a wo
: man’s hair,” ns Swift once said, but that hair con
! nccted the Duke of Buckingham with the English
throne, and that lock “in Its glass case was to bo
sold, to the highest bidder!” And then came the
moral which Macaulay drew from one of tho pic
tures on the walls. Ilezekiah’s vainglory prompted
him to show his treasures to the Babylonish embassy.
“ All the things in mine house have they seen,” he
said. The reply was equally emphatic: “Behold
the day is come that all that is in thine house, and
that which thy fathers havo laid up instore unto
this day, shall be carried into Babylon. Nothing
shall be left.” Thus, “in tho midst of fertile lands
and an industrious people, in the heart of a country
where it is thought virtuous to work, to save, and
'to thrive, a man of the highest rank, and of a pro
perty not unequal to his title, flung all away by his
extravagance and folly, and reduced his honors to
the tinsol of n pauper and tho baubles of a fool.”
Facilis descensus Averni. From that day the
moral decline of his grace the Duke of Buckingham
was coincident with the decay of his fortunes. The
town rang with indignation when he not only over
powered his son and heir into cutting off the entail i
of the estates, and robbing him and his seed forever
for the parent’s folly and tho creditor’s greed, but
absolutely prosecuted him for perjury before a court j
of justice, when ho denied having signed a certain
deed, which, like a hundred others, was given him
in all haste to subscribe to, not to examine. The
host of eminent witnesses who were proud to ac
company Lord Chandos into court—Lord Brougham,
the Provost of Eton, Ac., Ac.—was sufficient
proof of the son’s character, and the father’s charac
ter was made evident to all men by the fact that bis
son stood at the bar on such a base charge—that son
whom the father’s creditors so trusted that they
made him receiver of the estates, a post which en
abled him to live comfortably—even luxuriously—
had he not out of hie income supported the man
who prosecuted him.
From 1800 to liis death, the Duke was
supported by Ins only son, whom he had
wronged so much. After 1850, the public
heard little of him, save as an author, lie
i collected all the correspondence of his family,
; and the friends of his family, which threw
| light on the political intrigues of Courts and
! Cabinets ever since George 111. began to reign,
and published it with a connecting narrative.
! There may be a doubt whether some of the
i communications have not been published too
! soon; but there can bo no doubt as to the va
lue of the material, which lie provided, which
extend to many volumes. The Duke was en
gaged in another historical work when lie died, j
The present Duke, born in September 10,1823,
wua educated at E ton and Clirist Church, Oxford,
though lie did not take a degree at the univer
sity. It is only fair, however, to say that his
scientific acquirements were well appreciated i
there j and had he not been obliged to lcavo
college to enter Parliament, lie would pvoba- ]
hly have obtained a first-class in mathematics, i
He was SI. P. for Buckingham from February, j
1840, to April, 1857 ; a Lord of tho Treasury i
and Keeper of the Privy Seal to the Prince of
Wales under Lord Derby’s first Ministry of
1852 ; is Special Deputy Warden of the Stan
naries (1802); was captain in the Bucks Yeo
manry from 1845 to 1858, and chairman of the
London and Northwestern Railway from 1858
to 1801; and is a deputy-lieutenant of
Bucks and Northamptonshire. He married
October 2, 1851, Caroline, only daughter of
Mr. Robert Harvey, of Langley Park, by whom
he has issue three daughters only, so that it is
possible the noble race may be extinct, and tho
« aspiring blood” of Buckingham may “ sink
in the ground.”
In 1859, when Marquis of Chandos waq
prevailed on to contest Oxford with Mr. Glad
stone, the late Duke of Buckingham brought
bis veteran electioneering tactics te bear on
his lordship’s side.
Last Autumn, when the Prince ot Wales
visited Philadelphia, the present Duke, al
though not attached to his suite, was here also,
and numerous gentlemen of this city made his
acquaintance at Mr. J. B. Lippincott’s. His I
frank and unassuming manners generally i
pleased—and the Marchioness, if possible, had
i less pretension than her husband. He docs
not inherit tho Earldom of Temple. That
title, by a decision in 1822, now passes to his
only sister, Lady Anna Temple.
The question arises—how did the late Duke
I of Buckingham become all but a pauper—af
| ter succeeding, little more than twenty years
! ago, to an annual rent-roll estimated at £390,-
i 000, in tlie beginning of the century, and at
i ±’200,000 when his father died in 1839 ?
j The question may be answered. Though,
I when Queen Victoria visited Stowe, it was as
i though Queen Elizabeth had visited the Earl
j of Leicester at Kenilworth, the cost was great,
i Unit expense would not pull down a princely
bouse. The Dulce owned tens of thousands of
acres. He was the lord of miles of English
soil. Ilis vassals and his thralls held their
share of God’s earth and God’s sky by his
sufferance. 110 owned their cabins and their
homesteads, lie gave them law at quarter
sessions and court lect. He was the noblest,
proudest, grandest prince among the haugh
tiest aristocracy iu the world. Yet— he died
a beggar.
nis father encumbered the vast property by
bis profusely playing the host to the thankless
and exiled Bouvbons, and by other heavy ex
penditure. The late Duke was hopelessly em
barrassed years before lie came to bis title;
his patent of nobility had innumerable post
obits tacked to it, and his rent-rolls were mere
palimpsests for mortgages to bo written over.
He raised money in every conceivable way.
He would have cut down the trunk of his
genealogical tree and sold it, had it been of
timber instead of emblazoned parchment.
When lie entertained Victoria at Stowe, with
a magnificence which stands solitary in his
life, he was ruined and bankrupt. Tlie coffin
of his embarrassments would not hold, any
more nails. The Royal visit was tho last; and
the lacqueys wlio bowed the Sovereign into
Stowe may have been bailitfs in disguise.
His whole life was pre-eminently a mean,
shabby, ami sbuffiing one. He muddled away
his millions as though they had been tlie rents
of a coalslicd. His gambling was not done
on Crockford’s green table, but was haggled
anil fumbled over in tlie dingy offices of con
veyancers. To buy land and yet more land,
to mortgage one estate that ho might purchase
another, and mortgage that to acquire a third,
and then reincumber the whole to pay for
some frcsli and insane speculation—these were
bis mania.
Selfish to a degree, even while the auc
tioneer’s hammer was poised over the costly
gimcracks of his palace, the Duke of Buck,
jngham was, with passionate entreaties, urging
his son to consent to the entail of the estates
being cut off, and so reduce himself equally
with his father to the condition of Lazarus.
To the great and lasting honor of the Marquis
of Chandos, now Duke of Buckingham, lie
sacrificed all his rights, all his resources, to his
father’s creditors. lie took a situation on a
railway for a livelihood, and flowed the beg
gared duke a stipend from his earnings. The
property of the present duke can scarcely ex
ceed £20,000 a year—but he has lived, re
spectahly and respected, on less than a fourth
of that income since 1848. He is a man
who would be respected wore his income only
$5OO a year, lie has true nohility of mind as
well as of rank.
The moral of this true tale is that this for
lorn end of one of England’s proudest nobles
is an additional reminder that “ the glories of
our birth and state arc shadows, not substan
tial thingsthat sceptre and crown—aye, and
coronet and mitre— must tumble down, and in
the earth he made equal with tho poor crooked
scythe and spade.
The Magazines for August.
Tn Blackwood's Magazine , received from Mr.
Zicber, Professor Aytoun’s novel, entitled "Nor
man Sinclair,” is brought to a close thU month.
There are some good scenes in it, but, as a whole,
it is a failure. The author, in sketching the charac
ter nnd career of Mr. Beaton, evidently had Hud
son, “the Railway King,” in his mind—but tho
portrait is feeble and indistinct. The opening arti
cle, which covers nineteen pages, relates the history
and travels of tho Rev. Dr. Joseph Wolff, who
from Juilaism changed to Catholicity, and thence
to Protestantism—likely to abide by the la3t, which
has given him, in the English Church, the lucrative
Vicarage of lie Brewers, near Taunton. Wolfi"3
adventures, as missionary to the Jews nnd Mahom
edans in Peraia, show his undoubted courage,
but ne Jews and Mahomednns are precisely the
people who will not become Christians, ho made no
proselytes. Other readable articles here are those
on Vaughan’s Revolutions of English History,
Mad Dogs, and Three Days in the Highlands.
The new number of the Knickerbocker, oldest
of American Magazines, has a variety of prose and
verse—the best article, in our judgment, being
“ Before and After tho Battle (of Bull Run,) by
George P. Putnam, the New York publisher. He
used his eyes and cars to some purpose, and liis
sketch is graphic. The best war correspondence
we have yet seen is that of George Wilkes, of The
Spirit of the Times. Next to this we would
place tho three papers written by Thomas Francis
Meagher, in the Irish American, and tlie letters in
the New York World. Mr. Putnam comes in
next to these. The Revelations of Wall Street, by
Mr. Kimball, running serially through the Knick
erbocker, are extremely good, and, when completed,
will make a curious and interesting novel of com
mercial life. There is a paper here. The Death of
Colonel Thoureau, which has something of Poe’s
skill iu working up small details to an effective con
clusion. The Editorial Gossip with Headers and
Correspondents, always an agreeable feature here,
loses none of its spirit or raciness this month. The
articles in relation to the present political crisis
strike ns as being sadly out of place in a monthly
magazine of polite literature. The Knickerbocker
ought to leave political discussions to the newspa
pers. Mr. Putnam’s account of the battle of
the 21st of July does not come within this category,
being historical, and valuable as the record of a re
liable eye-witness.

Dear Puess : Since our encampment hero du
ring last week, we have experienced that species of
weather which begets that stale of mind Washing
ton Irving described as similar to ‘ ■ a solitary roos
ter perched on a oart-wboel of a rainy Sunday in
the country.” Yot, regardless of weather, skir
mishing drill progresses, and the camp orders are
strictly adhered to. Colonel Geary is still in com
mand of this post, and Lieutenant-Colonel DeKor
ponay retains the hend of the regiment. Both are
remarkably efficient in their operations. The Co
lonel. on Friday, anticipated the orders of Presi
dent Lincoln nnd General McClellan upon non
communication between Maryland and Virginia,
having broken up all the ferries, and put strict in
junctions upon all travel. On the i6th a large body
of the rebels was discovered passing a break in the
lower range of the Catoctin, coming from Water
ford. cast, towards Edward’s Ferry. There were
about 1,500 cavalry, artillery, and infantry, and
were evidently plundering, ns huge droves of cattle
were with them. They were about four miles dis
tant from our camp. Colonel Uoary kept a strict
watch upon them, and had they intended hostility,
the boys of the Twenty-eighth would have given
them something to strive for.
There aro about 8,000 rebels iu Loudoun county,
one-half of them at Goose Creek. Asat this junc
ture of affairs it is highly impracticable to mention
even rumors of future movements, I will strictly
confine myself to events past, and of which the
enemy are doubtless made cognizant through their
emissaries. On Friday, the Colonel arrested a man
named J. R. Gwynn, a retired merchant of Balti
more, who had upon his person many letters from
Richmond—all of treasonable import. Ho had,
througli the interposition of the district attorney
and other persons of his own city, secured a pass to
Virginia, in the name of Grayson. He applied to
Col. Geary for a return pass, but be was not suffi
ciently sharp. This is an important arrest, shed
ding light upon dark places. He is specially
guarded, yet receives all the attention due to a
gentleman. Ilis trial may result disastrously to
himself.
On the 17th nearly the whole army came down
here, yet leaving the route well guarded to Har
per’s Ferry. The various brigades are encamped
in Carroll Manor, and in the neighborhood of various
surrounding towns nnd villages. The post and tele
graph offices are in our possession here, and the
strictest surveillance has been ordered by Colonel
Geary.
Among camp incidents is the occasional punish
ment for minor offences, by carrying a large stone
around a circle for a stipulated period; the in
trusion of a few snakes into the tents; the hovering
of hundreds of buzzards around the mountain in tho
neighborhood of the army; tho good health and
exemplary behavior of tho entire regiment, and
the animation of all in the hope of a speedy test of
prowess. Yours, Ac., Texiexte.
P. S.—The report has just reached us that abrisk
skirmish occurred at Harper’s Ferry. The Second
Massachusetts kept back six thousand of the enemy,
preventing thorn from crossing to this side.
From Fort Fillmore.
We are permitted to publish tho following ex
tract from a private letter written at Fort Fillmore,
New Mexico, July 7th. It is reported in Texas
that the fort bas'beeu taken by the rebels :
“I reached here on Saturday, June 29th, after
a fatiguing journey of a week from Santa Fe, which
I left Monday, the 24th. The distance is about
310 miles. All the troops are concentrating rapidly
here. We will have some fourteen companies, in
fantry and mounted, in all about a thousand men.
We hear numerous rumors of hostile preparations
at Fort Bliss, occupied by Texan troop, only forty
five miles off, of their throwing up batteries, col
lecting troops, Ac. Wc do not know whether it is
their intention to attack us, or of our commander to
attack them; but one or the other will soon bap-
Eon. We have pickets out threo or four miles, and
eavy guards, and use every precaution to be pre
pared to give them a warm reception if they come
up. There arc quarters for only five companies in
garrison, and the remainder will have to go into
camp. Fort Fifimwe is now the headquarters of

TWO CENTS.
Important from Mexico.
The following extracts from »iato Mexican paper
give some interesting items of tho state of affairs in
that unhappy country:
Since the commencement of our journal it never
has fallen to our lot to give such a sad record of the
events of a month in Mexico. The awful reality of
Mexico’s demoralization has been made manifest to
the most hopeful, and it can no longer be denied
that neither life nor property enjoys any security
among us.
On Sunday, the 2d inst., the inhabitants of Mexi
co were thrown into a state of considerable agita
tion by the announcement that Don Melchior Ocam
po, a distinguished citizen, and one of the leading,
members of the Puro party, had been seized at
Arroyozarco by Cagigas, a Spanish desperado in tho
service of the clergy under Marquez. During the
same day, the report reached here that Don Fran
cisco Schinfino, a well-known citizen of Mexico, and
two companions, had been seized-in a like manner
at the village of San Joaquin, by the troops of
Galvez, another officer of Marquez, These reports
at first created no special fear for tho lives of tho
captured, for it was believed that, monster as Mar
quez is, he would not take tho live 3 of his prisoners
tor fear of thereby exciting the Government to re
taliate by putting to death his associates who are
now in the prisons of this capital. Messengers were
sent out. and offers were received from tho captor
of Sc nor Schinfino that on the payment of 830,000
and 300 rifles he would ho sot at liberty, and hopes
were entertained that the clergy chiefs in both cases
only sought to fill their pockets by receiving largo
ransoms tor their prisoners.
On the morning of Tuesday the delusion was dis
pelled by the arrival of positive advices that 'lain
ngn had put to death Seiior Ocampo, after submit
ting him to Jevery imaginable indignity. Aftcrde
taining him a prisoner for two days, and insulting
him by taunts, jeers, and scoffs—spitting in liis face,
kicking, beating, Ac. —he was taken out and half
killed by shots, and thon hung up to terminate an
agony thnt must have been all the human power
could endure. The arrival of this melancholy
news in Mexico produced an intense excitement.
All business was forgotten in tho palace. The
members of Congress grew eloquent, and their re
cent creation, the “Tribunal ae Baiud Publica,”
demanded now authorization to do what they were
already empowered to perform; the diplomatic
corps speedily assembled, and, not understanding
exactly what business thoy had to mix up in the
movements of the moment, did not make a wrilten
protest, but called in a body on President Juarez,
whose ready-made answer of “respect for the
laws,” Ac., put them at rest; guards were doubled
at points where political prisoners are confined;
mobs gathered in the streets ; everybody had a re
volver, and “blood,” “ blood,” was the burden of
conversation.
A large_sum has already been paid for the ran
som of Scfior Schiolino, but until now he has not
been set at liberty, and the exciting events which
have followed have completely overshadowed in
dividual cases of robbery and murder.
These proceedings are but the beginning of our
tale. In consequence of these the principal mili
tary men of the Government came forward. Gen.
Don Santos Dcgollado was first in tho field, ami
with a division of men marched toward Tcluca in
pursuit of the enemy. While reconnoitring with a
small party on the 10th he was surprised by Galvez
in n barranca near tlie Llanos do Salazar, and his
party entiroly cut to pieces and dispersed, and he
himself killed.
Gen, Ortogo, in the meantime, had loft this and
gone in pursuit of Marquez, who had marched by
tho Llanos dc Apam toward Puebla. Marquoz
fled before Gen. Ortega, and from the 14th to the
23d the pursuit was hotly maintained, nnd the
division from Queretaro, under command of Gen.
Arteaga, and another division from here, under
command of Gen. Valle, wore ordered in different
directions to intercept Marquez, and force him to
an action. Gen. Valle took the road of the unfor
tunate Degollauo, and shared the same fate. On
the 23d, Marquez. Galvez, and others, fell upon
him near tlie Llanos de Salazar, cut his force to
pieces, and took him nnd hi 3 officers prisoners. It
is scarcely necessary to add that poor Valle and
his officers were shot and hanged up afterward.
But one was saved to tell the tale. Not only the
officers, but many of tho poor soldiers were butch
ered.
Those sad tidings spread terror in this communi
ty. The National Guard was called out, and the
city has been declared under martial law. General
Parrodi has been named military commander of
the city, General Fraga his second, and Juan Jose
Baz Governor. These appointments hare given
some confidence that we are not to be delivered up
to Marquez and bis minions, although they ware
not made until the city was thrown into toe greatest
state of excitement, on the 25th, by an attack of
some four hundred of Marquez’3 cavalry, who,
enter ng by San Cosmo, came up to near San Fer
nando. They were repulsed with the loss of seve
ral of their number, among them a Spaniard, sup
posed to be their leader.
General Ortega, after pursuing Marquez to Mata
moros Izucar, then to Cuautla, then to Cuernavaca,
and until the defeat of G eneral Valle, arrived here
on the 25th. and is now making his plans to move
on against his enemy- who has- retired toward San
Cristobal. Marquez and bis companions have
some 4,000 men now together, and against these the
Government will probably be able to send a largo
force.
All these thrilling events have caused great
changes in the public mind, and it is not improba
ble that we shall have a radical change in tho Go
vernment, hut we conceive there is now no danger
of our immediately falling under the dominion of
Marquez or any of his party.
During the month, little has been accomplished
by the foreign representatives in the settlement of
grievances. The Laguna Seca conducta, and the
British Legntion robberies,.have both been tho sub
jects, we hear, of the energetic action of her Ma
jesty’s Minister, but without any satisfactory result,
so far as we can learn. There is no use of disguis
ing the fact, that, for the interests of all parties
concerned, the sooner foreign nations try a new mc
, dicine for the sick man of Mexico, the better it will
be. Diplomacy has no longer any remedial virtues
for the case.
Operations of the Privateers.
THE BARK CORDELIA CHARED —THE PIIiATE SUMP
TER HEARD FROM —TUE DOIXfiS OF THE PIRATE
JEFF DAVIS.
[From the N. Y. Tribune of yesterday.]
The bark Cordelia , Captain Roberts, arrived at
this port last evening from Monrovia, via St.
Thomas, Bth inst.. and reports: August 10. latitude
22 deg. 12 mir.. north, longitude 67 deg. 10 min.
west, at 7A. M., discovered a schooner, pilot-boat
build—to windward, running down for the bark,
and apparently full of men. Capt. R. then kept
off, when the schooner made chase, and, after pur
suing her for an hour, and not being able to gain on
her, she hauled her wind and gave up the chase,
and stood to the southwest. She was painted en
tirely black, and showed no colors.
Capt. R. also reports that while at St. Thomas
intelligence wns received there from Port Spain,
“ Trinidad,” to the effect that the privateerSi»«p
tcr had put into that port to coal, and also to
land the captain of the bark Joseph Maxwell, of
Philadelphia, which vessel was taken as a prise by
the St'Mjjler off Porto Cabello.
The U. S steamer Keystone State, Scott com
mander, sailed from St. Thomas Bth inst. in search
of privateers.
The schooner J. IV. Congdon, Capt. 'Williams,
arrived yesterday from Mayagucz, P. R., which
port she left 11th inst.. reports that just previous
to his sailing a Spanish fisherman had arrived in
port, and reported having, the day previous, in
the Mona passage, supplied the privateer Jeff
Davis with fish, and afterwards saw her take a
schooner.
By an arrival from l’once. P. R., at this port yer
terday. wc glean the following intelligence, ex
tracted from a letter on board, dated :
“ Ponce. P. R., August 0.1861.
11 Since my last, quite an excitement has been
raised among us, owing to the news of tho arrival
at the capital of the privateer brig Jeff' Davis,
Captain Coxetter, ten guns, one Hundred and
twenty men. Previous to his entering the port, he
sent in a boat with an officer and ton men for pro
visions, but as they were not allowed to land he
went in with the vessel. The Captain-General in
formed the commander that he must leave within
twenty-four hours, and immediately despatched
outside the harbor the steam corvette Herman
Cortez, six guns, to keep an eye on bis movements.
The captain of the privateer boasted of having
taken five prizes, and said he was waiting for a
vessel from New York having specie on board. He
boarded the brig Frances Jane, of Baltimore, and
gave the captain a passport, described to be a for
midable-looking document, having in the corner a
large Secession flag, stating that as long as the cap
tain of the Frances Jane had this no privateor
will touch him. Our last mail from St. Thomas re
ports the privateer steamer Sumpter at Curaeoa,
from Cienfuegos, where she had entered, having in
charge six prizes. We have but two vessels in
Sort, both to sail for New York in a few days,
ne is the brig Echo, of and from Baltimore, which
vessel has been reported by some as a privateer,
having been overhauling vessels two hundred
miles northwest of Porto Rico. She is an old
trader here, and well known. On the 4th instant,
about noon, an American war steamer passed
the entrance of the harbor, standing close iD, under
slow headway, with colors flying, and bound toward
St. Thomas; immediately after passing tho port
she steamed off very rapidly.”
The British brig Ada, of Walton, N. S., Captain
Grcono, arrived yesterday from St. Johns, P. R.,
which port she left July 30. Captain G. reports:
The privateer Jejferson Davis, of Charleston, S.
C., Commander M. Coxettor, fivo guns, (one large
one on a pivot,) and a crew of sixty men, after
cruising off St. Johns, P. R., for thro-l days, went
in on the afternoon of tho 2Sth for water, Ac., and
sailed again on the evening of the 29th, the com
mander of which reported haying taken seven ves
sels, and having some provisions on hoard, had re
leased one vessel bound North, putting a number
of prisoners on board of her; reports, also, having
released several vessels bound North at the suppli
cations of the wives of the masters. The Spanish
Government sent out the war steamer Herman
Cortez to maintain the neutrality of Spanish waters
Vessels bound to St. Johns should run in closo to
the land as soon as they make it, and if at night,
close under the light on the Moro Castle. There is
no unseen danger from the head of the island down
to St. Johns, at the distance of two or three miles
from the shove.
The schooner Jusrjdo IF. 1 Vel/stcr, Capt. Blake,
also arrived at this port yesterday from Asmnwaii,
and reports: 12th inst., 1at.22 deg. 13 min. N., lon.
S 3 deg., 12 min., lisee. was chased by along black
schooner, supposed to be a privateer. It blowing
fresh at the time, the Webster showed them her
heels. After pursuing some three hours, she gavo
up the chase. . .
The privateer Jr ft. Uttvt-s was at St. John. P.
R July 29, took in wood and water and proceeded
to sea the next day. where she lay on and off the
island, supposed to be waiting for a hark expected
from tho United States, with a cargo of provisions.
The authorities of the island sent off to her and or
dered her away. Captain Day, of tho British brig
j. IV. Johnson , arrived on Wednesday from Ar
royo, P. R.. reports seeing a vessel in Crooked Is
land passage which he is pretty certain was the pri
vateer.
At Mayaguez, P. R., on the Ist inst., a report
was in circulation that the privateer brig Echo had
arrived at St. John, about two weeks previous, and
after procuring n supply of water and provisions,
had sailed. One of her officers had stated that they
had taken seven prizes, but the names of them were
BOt tWttoißOd* 4 Mayaguez.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
•THE MONEY MARKET.
j PHILADELPHIA, August 22,1861.
The stock Market fa in the same condition re
ported yesterday. The investment securities have
: their prices graduated with reference to tho now
I Government loan, and- speculative shares are firm
. but dull of 3»lc.
The money market is dull, under the limited
amount of business, hat the activity that has all.
along been maintained in breadstuffs is gradually
extending to many other commodities. Trade is
rapidly accommodating ii;eif to the-new state of
j affairs, and expectations of a fair business this foil
1 arc gaining more receivers.
, Encouraging accounts, a 3 to prod ic
ponses, have been received from a number of tho
• best non-paying copper mines, such-as the Quincy,
Pownbic, Isle Jtoyaio. franklin, and Rockland all
■ of which are said to be working at a profit. The
1 mineral yield of the Franklin, during the past
month, was eighty-five tons, and that of the 1310
; Itoyalc was not far from 79 tons. The manager*
1 say that, even at the low price of 18 cents-for ingot
copper, these mines are at present oarning some
thing for their shareholders; and if the metal
should rise threo cents a pound, to make itsmarkot
value equal to last year's, there would be a fair
prospect for dividends, for the companies enume
rated. to class them on the paying list, together
with the Minnesota: Pittsburg, and National.
At Boston, the Traveller says, there is more life
and spirit in business than for some time past.
Specie is rap,idly accumulating. The Clearing.
House to-day reports the total holding to be
s6.923,Boo—showing a further gain of 570.100 .since
yesterday, and nearly hatfa million within a -week.
The average statement. j*st published, shows a re
duction in loans and circulation, and an increase in
specie and deposits. The banks are discounting all
the good paper offered to them by their regular
customers and depositors, so that outsiders are
obliged, in order to secure names of the first class,
to submit to something under six per cent, for thoir
money, on four and six months' maturities. There
is not much doing in the way of collateral loans to
i pay for investments or speculative adventures, as
1 most of the stock-buyers are already supplied with
| the necessary amount of capital required for those
! purposes.
The following remarks upon (he Dry-Gcod.?.
Trade, extracted from the New York Independent,
accord fully with the views of the business to be
done this fall, which wo have frequently expressed
in our columns :
“ We are glad to have to record at length a more
attractive inquiry from the regular trade fsr fall
goods, and the consequent opening of the season.
Some large sales have beon effected, and those
commission house? whose standing has not been dis
turbed report a good commencement and better
prospects. The successful negotiations of tho Go
vernmepf with tlio banks, wpo.se conduct 13 above
nil praise, have given boldness to dealers near by
and at the West. Were other departments of the
Administration managed with the skill, energy, and
pure patriotism with which Mr. Secretary Chase
manages his. there would be greater confidence and
a greater trade. As it is. by borrowing $150,000,-
000 from capitalists and spending it. ns he must do,
the Secretary sets in motion a power of recupera
tion in trading circles that, combined with tho
steady receipt of gold for our exports, must revivo
activity in trade tills very fall.
“There is more buoyancy of tone, more hope in
the future, which, unless Government commit soma
great blunder, insures a return of prosperity. What
matters how much a nation owes, provided its pro
; ductivo power is equal to the repayment ? It fa
not what a man or a nation owes, but what assets or
resources they have to pay with.
“The Government disburses large sums for
soldiers’ and seamen’s wages, for breadstuff's and
provisions, for arms and ammunition, and for
clothing, which must give returns both to tho ma
nufacturing and producing regions.
“Cotton goods continue to rise in price from di
minishing stoeks and a light production, and prices;
roust continue to rise to e, cotton-famine level, foe
tho price of raw cotton is getting to a height that
will curtail the consumption materially. Fall
style prints are few, but old styles have taken morn
freely, and will soon be exhausted. Brown and
bleae’hed goods have advanced considerably, and
! much has been bought on speculation. Brills ais j
j have gone up. In woollens there fa more doing.
! Delaines are not yet in good assortment, but sales
! are making by sample. Foreign prints are out of
! the market this season, except some old stocks ; and
as the price- of wool is low delaine manufacturers
; have good prospects before them. Fine fancy cas-
I simerc? are in hotter request—clothiers and jobber.?
j are both buying. There is a good supply, and
] prices ore moderate and steady. Army goods ara
■ no longer in market, and the manufacturers ara
i only making to order.
; “In foreign goods there is some incipient move
, ment. Black silks at low or medium prices havo
; been selling; but no dress goods are shown. For-
I eign woollens are not imported, and only old goods
! are offered. The importations, it will be seen from
: the statement above, are light in the aggregate.
■ The goods taken inte the channels of consumption
last week are only a tenth part of what was enter
ed duty paid last year in the corresponding week.
Efforts are making to shorten tho term of credits,
especially by the commission houses, and to jobbers
who have been selling staple goods below cost, a
practice long indulged in, but which is just now
meeting with wholesale condemnation."
The New Y'ork Post, of this evening, says ;
The stock market is quiet but steady to-day. Tha
railroad shares are firmly held, but the bond mar
ket fa scarcely so good as yesterday, and we note *
decided weakness in some of tho issues of the South
ern States. Government six per cent, bonds also
have a heavy appearance, but the notes are firm at
: 97j •
j At the close the market is hardly so firm. New
York Central leaves off with sales at 73J; Toledo
: 29]a2Pi; Illinois Central G-ljaO-l’; Rock Island
1 39Ja40.
I The money market is more active, and quits it
healthy demand has sprung up since Monday.
1 Call loans are brisk at sao per cent. Mercantila
credits are in better favor, though the sales of paper
'! are small, and only “gilt-edge” is saloable at saB
per cent.
1 The exchange on London is steady, but quiet, at
1073a107i.
i In the list of bank subscriptions to the national
’ loan, which we copied into yesterday’s paper, tha
i name of the Mechanics' Banking Association for
! $250,000 was omitted.
' There is nothing new stirring at the Assistant
; Treasurer's office. Every exertion is making ta
: Issue the various issues of treasury notes at tha
; earliest day possible. Tlie plan of attaching coupon*
; to the 7.30 notes is received with great satisfaction,
. and tho indications are, that subscriptions will ba
I considerably increased in consequence.,
i Tbo uncurrcnt money dealers report a better de
-1 mand for currency. This fact is very encouraging
' at this time, removing, ns it does, tho apprehension
: which was indulged in a short time ago that tha
i country needed no addition to its circulation by tha
: Government, and that any now issue would driva
! homo the bank notes so well held by the people of
j the interior. The immense reduction in the circu
! lating medium of the IVest needs now issues, eithec
j by sound banks or the Government.
I ' The State of Indiana has acted with much prompt
j ness and good faith in the application of $450,000
' recently received from tho united States Qovorn
-1 ment. in the reimbursement of wnr expenses, to
i the payment of so much of the war loan of $2,000,-
000 authorized bv the last Legislature as was award
ed by the Fund Commissioners in this city in Juno,
; to wit, about $422,000.
