" Loxpoy, Oct. 19.—Sir Stafford Northcote, sneaking at Birmingham, admitted the depress- jonin trade and consequent loss of clasticity of the revenue., Nevertheless he did not antici- pate the necessity of asking of the couutry re- newed sacrifices. He condemned the over-aux- fcty respecting the fulfillment of the provisions of the Treaty of Berlin, An important moment, would be next May, the period of the complete Russian evacuation. Ile was coovinced tbe Towers would mot suffer the Treaty of Berlin, which cost “so much, to be set aside. The Euglish Government’s policy would be one of firmuess, prudence, and moderation, and they would wateh over the interests of Englund's tndian coloniul Empire. The Government would pot have the heart of England with them if it thought the interests of England were limited to these smull islands (mneaning Great Britain und Ireland). One great principle of their policy is the preserva- tion of the Ottoman Empire, and they intended 10 introduce maute) improvement m Asiatic Turker. = = He then defended the acquisition of Cyprus, which, he said, was vindieated by the Govern- Al mll.)llhe Chancellor re- jterated the statements made by Mr. Cross, Home Secretary, st Southport, adding that the nment will not allow _its atiention to be cted from the exccution of the Berlin Treaty.

The bank has lost, on u moderate and probably favorable estimate, $6,4%.000. Thutis a most disastrous statement for the ubbuppy &hare holders, and we need hardly say that « loss of such magnitude could.never have fallen on them but for the reckless mismanagement to begin with, and deliberate” and loug-continued Iraud practiced to hide that mismavazemeut.” OTHER FAILURES.

Leerlin Letter. i Dr. Nobiling’s death’ is rranght with scrious disappointment to the superior nolice authori- ties of Prussia, who had been led-to hope that he might be sutliciently restored to health by the care of the emiuent physicians intrusted ‘with his ease to becorne an agent in the hands of justice for averting crimes of a character similar to that which he himself had cowmitted. The already astonishing result of his exceptionally vigorous constitution, and of the skillful treat- ment accorded to him, —namely, that a maa with a verforated skull, and a brain one-half of which had teen picrced through and through by a large conmical bullet, should live for three ionths after the io- Hiction of those ivjurics, aud cven gain strength and appetite to such an extent that he was able to walk about in a garden and eav three meals daily,—bad almost justified the ofticial expectation that, one of thesc davs, Carl Nobilfog, bis wounds healed and nis intellect delivered from toe cloud in which it was for some weeks ensuing his attempt to commit suicide, would be induced to repent the dark deed which all but plunged the l;ermnn nation and to make what amends he could for his grievous sin by denouncing his accomplices aod chrowing some lizht upon the seerets of the formidable organization to which be belonged, and of which he is believed to have been an exceptionally trusted, iutellivent, and influential member. To this expectation, in wiich the general public shared with the utmost jutensity of interest, -Dr. Nobiling’s sudden and unexpected relapse on the Sth inst., and decease on the following afternoon, has put an end forever. At the instance of bis medical attendants, the police oflicials bad entirely ab- stained, even during the periad of bis appar- ent convalescence, from subjecting him to any interrozatory with respect Lo any - attempt on the Emperor’s life, as jt was feared that the least mental irritation, or even excitement, mizbt deteat all the cfforis made by science 1o achieve bis cure; and 8o he has carried bis terri- ble secret with liim to the grave, and the veli of mystery banging over his surpassmg crime has wot vét been lifted for a smgle moment. On the 6th fust. Dr. Lewin, the prison doctor who had had charge of Nobiling’s case from the day of his arrest, conversed freely with him upou the topics of the day, and was surprised at the relevancy of his observations, which ed to a marked improvement in the func- s of the brain, but he complained of in- termittent headache and’ pressure at the ag of bis cves, und ‘these symploms con- tinued to present themselves until the marning of the 9th, when be was serzed with u violent it of vomiting, and shortly afterward hecame unconscious. - He never spoke azain. Oo the 10th—it being obvious that bis end was drawing pigh—his mother was admitted to bLis bed- side. but her presence failed to rouse him from the state of coma in winch he lay; and she tardly bad quitted bim whea ho breatned his last. A post-mortem was held upon his hody next day by Drs. Wolll, Lesser, and Lewin, in the prescice of scveral eminent surgeons and oflicials of the Crown. The surwrical report upon his injuries state that a projectile bad pen- etrated the right side of his forehead, had been split iv two by the violence of its contact with the os frontis, aud the lurger moicty. thercof, piercing both the front divisions of ;the. brain, had Jodzed iv the left division, taking. foree to perforate a second time the skull.

A DEADLY FEUD. Dunuque, Ta., Oct. 19.—An excited state of affairs prevails at West Union, Ia., owing tothe frequent attempts of two prominent citizens of that place to kill each other, not only otice, Hut en several different oceasions. The partics are Judge J. W. Rogers, an attorney, Who at one time was County' Judge, for sowne time editor of the Gazette of that place, and at one time candidate for the Lerislature, and the otheris Henry Rush, one of the wealtiest men of Fay- ette County. Several years ago Rush had trouble with his w and she procursd a divorce. Since then.sbe has entered several suits against him, in which she contends for what she claims as her rights, but which he re- wards as simply annoying. Rogers is her attor- ney, aod as sueh a bitter and murderous animos- ity bas grown up between Rush and himself. On the evening of the 19th of February last Rogers was shot at from an ambuscade ds he was returning home, as he claims, by a man wnom Rush had hired to assassinate him. The ball piereed bis clothivg, but did no farther: damage. The next day, Feb. 20. Rozers met Rush op the, streét und fired 2t lum twice with a revolver, infileting two slight wounds. A bitter feeling was aroused by these attempted ssinatious, but inatters ran on until the it of Oct. 8, election night, when another at- tempt was nade to assassinate lRogers between the hours of 9 ard 10 0’clock. As he was pre- paring for bed ‘he raised his hedroom window for fresh air. As he . did so he touched the stringr to lower the curtain, stepping slightly to vhien 2 shot 'was fired. passing through the window and stejiing the ceiling.

Tyibunes i Corumnus, 0., Oct. 19.—A notice -of the dis- solution of partuership; of the firm of Paul & Thrall, job printers; appeared in Friday even- ing’s paper, G. Thraltzbecoming the successor of the firm. The nol#iéation itselt aid not ut- tract even a passing; reflection, but the causes which led to the digsoiution are graver than those usually demanding a separativn of those who have gone hand iu hand through business disasters and successes” For years the firm of Paul & ‘Thrall- ‘Have enjoyed the high- est. confilence ‘nnd. esteem of the business public of Columbus, and until within the last six months their cacles were stitl ascending; but tlidsame old tale of success, recklessness, and debhuch which has been so often told of others who have gone before musy now be related of William Paul, the retirinz partuer. About a yeAr ago his friends became aware that the tiger and sparkling wine were alluring him from the'path of virtue and spbrie- ty. Warnings were given, but not heeded. Admonition and advice.were tendered, but still Mr. Paul kept on his downward course until the climax was reached this wsek.” About a month ago Paul commenced a_ jamboree on an - cxtensive seale. He® took the office funds and set about playing faro at Tom Marshall’s and otl. r pleces. ~Success at first seemed to be with hitn, for tpon retiring from the field after the first day’s encounter with the beast e had $3,000 to “deposit in his coffer. This temporary success scemed to invigorate rather than satiate his: love for the eame, ana in less than a week his winnings, together with what he could borrow from customers of the firm, were given over to the avaricious King Faro. When all was gone he returned to is_field of labor a_sadder but'a wiscr man. Mr. Thrall succeeded him at the desk, and there soon found out what his wily partnor had been doing.

Following is the interview: “The movement is gathering foree every day. Opposition to resumption and bank moucy ear- ried Indiana by 45,000, Ohio by 30,000; and ain- ed cleven Concressmen in the September and October clections. The result in Ohio was a Democratic gain of three Congressmen aud the loss of the State ticket by about one-hall the plurality Dby which we lost it in 1876, when -we had the Jast full vote. It was, bowever, an emphatic indorse- ment of the Ohio idea, the supporters of which were unfortunately divided, and hence lost sev- eral Coneressmen and the State ticket.” *What influence do you think the National movement will have on the fortunes of* the old partiest” e . ¢ 1think and hope it will cause a recast of the two great parties. ‘The Republican is and will certainly remain the party of forced resumption and bauk money. Three-fourths of the Demo- eratic party is already cominitted to tue repeal of the resumption scheme, - and the substi- tution of greenbacks for bank-notes. These are the foremnost and vital questions of the da No shuflling evasions of ~issues will be tolerated by the people iu either leaders or platform. Both partics must meet them bonestty and squarely. Ilence Greeenback and auti-Resumption Republicans will come to us will go to them. The National movemeunt, I think, will precipitate this result, but if the Democracy shouid attempt to go on as the party of the money power in the East and the party of the peeplein the West, it will lose its grand opportunity. . The National party will then grows formidable, and the division which Jost us Obio will lose us the next Presidential election, or give us the’ best chance of - carrying the clection into ‘the Housc. ‘The money power never did trust the Demo- cratic party and never will. It has beld its con- trol in our organizations in the East only'to in- sure ' the continued rule of the Republican party, its tried and trusted ally. The Democ- racy of the West and Southat last see this, and will act accordingly. more double-faced Presidential platforms or candidates, but will fight against forced resump- tion and bank money as unequivocally and honestly as the Republicans fight for them. We will thus briog the Nationals and Greenback Republicans to us, and I think will. sweep the country East and West.” * Did the National movement help the Dem- socrutic Congressuen in Ohio? 2 + 1t helped some and burt others. I suppose it belped ilurd, Converse, nnd D It cer- tainly hurt Warner, Wiley and mysclf. who are among the most proncunced Grecnbackers ot the State. That movement in our three.dis: tricts was mauipulated by tie use of money or threats by employers of workmgmen so 2 to throw the Republican Nattounals for hard-money candidates and hold the Democratic Nationals to the support of their own -party candidates. As a whole, the Nutional movement in the Con- uressional elections was merely a- disturbing . and its effect in each district preferences or interesis or such he locality a8 chanced 1o have money or power to manipulate it.” WASHINGTON NOTES. “Spectal Dispatch to The Tridune.
