Niw Yorrk, Jan. 23, —Tweed's trial is nearing its conclusion. To-day, the fourteenth of the triel, the prosecution closed. The counsel for tho defence, omitting any formal opening to the jury, began the examination of their witnesaes, 2nnouncing that they would probably close their testimony during the remainisg three hours of tho seseion. One or two witnosses will bo briefly examined to-morrow morning, then the summing up of the connsel will begin, Eech sideis lim- 1ted o five hours, 8o that the caso will probably not go o the jury until Thursday evening. 3r. Fullerton will first address the jury for the de- fence, and will be followed by Alr. Peckham for ilio prosecution. Then Mosera. Graham snd Tyiemain will close for the defenco and the pros- ecution respectively. Another line of American steamships has come to an inglorious end.

Epitaph: Died of competi- ion. The Directors of the Western Union Telograph Company Lave decided to send General Thomas [, Eckert, General Superintendent at New York, and Geo. B. Prescott, Electrician, to Europe during the coming montl for the purpose of ex- amining into the prectical construction snd working of the pnenmutic despatches and vari- ous branches of the telegraph service as ope- rated there. Ot the 500,000 paid to the Government by Phelps, Dodge & Co., to compromise their frends on the Castom House, it is reportod that thie United States Treasury receivos but $260,000. Tho_remaining £240,000 scems to havo been divided among United States ofiicials who effected the compromiso, and 8re oW representing_that £260,000 was the total sum psid the officer. A prominent Custom Houso oficer gives tho following as the reasons con- trolling the Secretary of tho Treasury in accepting tho compromise. First, tho promptitude with which the fim, on in- timation that thero hed besn undervaluations in invoices, [;Irofllxced all their books and papers, soliciting a thorough investigation, and the fack that it was perfectly demonstrated that the sen- jor member of the firm was entirely ignorant of the undervaluations having been mado. Third, the direct 2nd frank offer made by him to psy the full amount of value of the articles undervalued as soon =8 tho under- valuation was demonstrated. Fourth, the un- cortainty attending the result of & suit brought to recover the full amount of the value of all the invoices in which the undervalued goods formed only parts, especially in view of the action tsken by the _fim when suspicion was directed towards it. Fifth, the probability that in no ovent would a jary givo a verdict for moro than the value of tho ar- ticles undervalued, and the expense which would be incurred and tho value of time lost by the trial of the suit. To the =above Il of 'f\rohble reasons, must be sdded a private di- vide of £240,000 among United States oflicials intrusted with the dutyof bringing the smug- glers to justico. G It is x&%flflefl that the new 5 per cont loan of £800,000,000 will bo_plsced in market simulta- ne:m:ly here and in London, by both Syndi- cates.

Ifembers of the Committes have visited bany in the interest of city reform. 1In the Tiweed trial, the case for the prosecu- tion was dlosed, and the defence was opened by the calling of witnessos to impeach evidence of A, J.
