Petersburg corre- spondent says the British Cabinet, In demand- ing 8 formal assurance from Russia which none of the other Powers support, must have one of two alms—cither to inflict formal humillation upon Russla, or to get rid of the necessity of attending the Congress, In the former case, Russin cannot make any concessfons. Inthe Intter the Congress will not be held, and Russia will endeavor to come to an arrangement with Qermany and Austria. Thus England condemns herself to fsolation and makes the triple alli- ance o political necessity, and perhaps renders | {nevitable that radical solution of the Eastern quceation which she wishes to prevent. OrPOSRD TO CONCESSION, A dlspatch from 8t.

Tho correspondeat thinks that ho comes too late to impress $hcse views, as Austria’s opluolon is al- ready tolerably formed, while if he has any more positivo pruposals he may bo. carly, as Austrla stlll scems to cliog to the hope of & Eurovean solution. A LERLIN DISPATCH says Gen.

Ilo saw no reason why England should uot take Mitylene if it chose, but the Dardauclics must rewaln open. He attributed the differcnce relative to the Cou- gress to a mero misunderstanding of words, uxTRUS, Agotler telegram from Vienna says it Is un- true that Count Andrassy fnformed Elliott that Austria would remain ueutral in the ovent of an Auglo-Russian war.

New York Bankers Have Little Faith in Secretary Sherman’s Kesump- tion Theorles. Letters Showing Ex-Secretary Fish to Be Responsible for the Halifax Award, BUTLER'’S GREAT ¥EAT IN BEATING A DEMOCRATIC REPARSENTATIVE. Bpeetal Dixoatch to The Tribune, Wasninoron, D.C., March %8.~Benjamin W. Dean is seated as the Republican member of Congreas from the Third Massachusetts District by one vote. 8o faras Mr. Field Is concerned, it cannot matter much by whom that one vote was cast, but it may be of some interest to know that Mr. Field lost hisseat through the vote cast by a professca Republican, Gen, Benjamin F. Butler, Butler direcied Wis attention specially to the three colored members In the House. He assumed to have special control of them, for the reason that be planted himaclf as their defender, and as the grest champlon of the law which was to pre- eerve the integrity of the colored man's party, But the colored men showed 1OW LITTLE CONPIDENCE they hnd in these assurances, and how little they thought that the principles of the Supers vizora' law were Involved In this contest by de- cliniog to cast a singlo vota for Mr. Dean. There has never been so close an clectlon con. test or so_much excitement over a case of that character within the incmory of the oldest Con- Kressman as thore was to-dsy. There are Dem- ocrats who are not oleascd with the result. There are inany who could be named who voted agalust their convictions of right. They wers cunatralned to do this by what was made to ap- pear to them as a party necessity. TIE I'OMITION OF GEN. L. Y.

This was also not true, and Gen.

RESUMDPTION. TIEWS OF NKW YORK DANKERS. Speeial Dirpaich 1o The Tridune, Wasminoron, D. C., March 28.~Representa- tives Ewing aud Chittenden, the Sub-Commit. tee of the Banking and Currency Committes which recently visited New York, have submit. ted to that Comunittee an {nformal report. The * following are the substantial points of that re- port: L u ras to nscertaln tho condition of the Bub-Treasury in New York with reapect to the gold owned by the Uovernment and other moneys hield thereln, and in the second place to confer with well known financial gentlemen touching the practi- eability of the resumption of specle-payments on the 1st of January next,and whether, 1f prace ticable in thele judgment, resumption at that time would be consistent with the public good. ‘The bankers were of oplufon that resumption at the cariest practicable}moment was not ouly conslstont with the public welfare, but was OF TIIE GNEATEST IMPORTANCE to the best prosperity ot tho country, They were of oplulon, also, that resumption on the 18t of January, 187, might be made practicable and safe If adequate measures should be adopt- cd, but all who cxoressed thetosclves on the subject were agreed that the plans of the Sce- retary ol the Treasury were inadequate, and ~ that Lo ‘should make an attempt to resume on the 1st of January, under the eircumstances aa they were likely to oxlst at that tine, ‘the attempt would most {vrnhnhlv fofl. They were of opinjon also that the remonctlzation of silver had seriously Interfered with the probabilities of resumption ot tho time fixed, Mit. ORORGE BIINS s0id that in his judzment there must bo a con- siderabile oxport of gold during the next few montbs, which fust to the cxtent that it de- pleted the stock in the country would of course reduce the probabilitics of a’ eafe resumption next January, Under the banking systom as it formerly existed it was in the rmrcr of the banks to check the fmportation of gold when they chose to do #o, but the legal-tender-nots systetn was n evstemn which restricted thelr power In this respect, so that there was now no effective means at the command of the banks to revent the gold from going out, Besides this, rha cifect of the agitation for remonctizing sil- ver had heen to eause A LAKOE RETURN OF GOVERNMENT BONDS held by foreiguers in the placo of gold, which, but for that agitation, would have come into the country in the place of bonds, The tutal amount of bonds returned since the agitation begun he estimated at $75,000.000, and more im- portations are to be expected, atlil further in- terfering with the tinportations of gold, and in- deca promoting s export, in prool of this he called attentlon to the fact that gold had al- ready reactied the shipping point much earlier than was usual, and large shipments might be expecied, MR. B, I BIUBRMAN suld that nineteen-twentieths of the gold be. longing to the banks in the ather cities, ny well a8 in New York, was {n the forin of certifi- cates, and that there was no considcrabla amount of gold in the country, except lu the Lucitlc Btates, outside of New Yark. Thers wis none of any consequence 1 tho savings banks or jn private banks.
