THE TUNIS EMBASSADOBS. ‘These noted visitors arrived here last even- ing from Philadelphia at 6 o'clock, in a special car attached to the regular through train, and ‘were received at the depot by Mr. Cox and Mr. Donaldson, of the State Department, who had carriages in waiting, and they were taken to Willards’, where rooms had been provided for them. The embassy consisted of General Ot- man Hashen, Special Ambassador from his Highness the Bey of Tunis, Colonel Ramiro Gaita, Aid-de-camp to General Hashen, and Chevaller Antoine Conti, Secretary and Inter- reter. They are accompanied by Amas Perry, , Sa of Providence, Rhede Island, United States Consul to Tunis, who came with the le- gation at the urgent request of his Highness, the Bey. The Embassy have been in this country about three weeks,most of which time has been spent in New York. A visit has been paid to Niag- ara Falls and a few other points. The ‘sonnel of the members of the Em- bass: striking and picturesque. General Hasben is a tall, finely formed man, of app: Tently fifty years of age. His complexion is light brown, lack, expressive eyes, thick, curly bair, ofa dark and wooly appearance, anda short, black beard and mustache. He dresses in a full suit of black broadcloth, the African fez cap, red in color, with large biue tasse] thrown to the rear, and he wears a curi- ously wrought blue-black cloak. The other members of the Embassy differ in BO material respect in appearance from the meral, with the exception of Chevalier Conti. Secretary, who is quite a young man, of very prepossessing appearance and engaging manners. The Ambassador, General Hashen, is connected with one of the oldest and most Tespectable families of Tunis, and has been dispatched by his Government on diplomatic missions to Constantinople, Paris, and Madrid, but this is the first trip across the Atlantic. Colonel Gaita was brought up in the service of the Bey, and Chevalier Conti has been con- nected with the Tunisian Government since his boyhood. The city of Tunis comprises about 150,000 inhabitants, and the population of Algiers, of which Tunis is the capital, is about 2,000,000. The kingdom is nominally under Turkish rule, but it is now, and has been for the last century and a half, actually inde- pendent, arranging al! its foreign and domestic affairs without any reference to the Ottoman Government. A large amount ef trade direct with the United States was formerly carried on, but of late years its commerce has been carried on through the medium of Italy, France, and England, through whose ports Jarge quantities of Tunisian productions, prin- cipally wool and olive oil, have been sent to this country. APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT. The President has appointed E. A. Rollins, Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenne, to be Commissioner, vice William Orton, whose resignation takes place on Ist of November. D. C. Whitman, Chief Clerk of the Bureau, has been appointed Deputy Commissioner, in place of Mr. Rollins, promoted.

In our first edition we gave the telegraphic dispatch received trom Detective Officcrs Wise and Allen, stating that the murderer of Harriet Wilkes, had been arrested by the New York police and had committed suicide in his cell. Harriet Wilkes, it will be remembered, was the keeper of a house of ill-fame, No. 22 134 street, and was found dead ina closet adjoin- ing her bed-room on Sunday peewey 2 Sus- icion at once rested on a man named Levi L. ‘arwell, who had been ange ais | with de. ceased, and who, in various fits of jealousy, had threatened the life of the girl. He was under bond to keep the peace towards her, and the bond expired on the 12th of this month. The jury rendered a verdict to the effect that Harriet Wilkes came to her death by strangu- Jation after ether or chloroform had been ad- ministered by Levi L. Farwell, sometimes called Mr. Wilkes. The jury, considering all the facts, concluded that Farwell slipped in the honse secretly, and finding the deceased slumbering, administered the chloroform. She partially revived, and attempted to alarm the house, when he seized her throat (the marks and bruises were plain] visible) and thrust the apron into her mou! until death ensued. He proceeded deliberately to rob her fingers of the rings, and then wrap- ping the body m the sheet locked it in the closet, and turned his attention tothe yaluables in the tranks 4nd drawers. Farwell is a small man, is originally from Massachusetts, but came from Albany to this city; was at one time a sutler in the army, and subsequently kept a restaurant on D, between 10th and 1ith streets, and afterwards inthe First Ward. The de- ceased was about 35 years of age, and has a son, 12 or 14 years old, at a boarding school in New Brunswick, N. J. It is said that she was respectably connected, and her relatives were notified by telegraph of the murder. She wasa small-sized woman of attractive Appearance and sprightly manners, and Far- onl aoemne to have been oe, infatuated with her. He had been heard to say if he “could not have her no other man should.” The police here have been working for the arrest of Farwell since Sunday; and as soon as the facts were known at the police head- quarters that Farwell had escaped, the fol- lowing telegram was sent to New and other |. cities: WasuINGTON, October 22—12 o’clock M.—To Chief of Police of New York: Arrest Levi Far- well, alias Wilks, 32 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, dark complexion, black hair, chin whis- kers, black eyes, black clothes, and silk hat, for murder and robbery this a. m. (Signed,) B. M. Rexp, Ass’t Sup’t. About six o'clock a sg fame tae the fol- lowing was received from New York: NEw York, Oct. 26—To A. C. Richards, Su- periniendent Metropolitan Police, Washington: We bave arrested Levi L. Farwell. Shail 1 send him, or wait tor you to send for him! He is willing to go. Jno. A. Kennepy, Sup’t Police, 300 Mulberry. Suspecting that Farwell had gone to New York, Detective Clarvoe started in pursuit on the 11 15a. m. train yesterday, and at 2 o'clock p.m. to-day the following dispatch was re- ceived from him: To A. C. Richards, Chief of Police -—Farwell bas been arrested by Elder. He has committed suicide, Hattie Wilks’ watch was on his per- son. (Signed) CLARVOE. MOVEMENTS OF THE TUNIS AMBASSA- - DORs. The Tunis Embassadors, who visit Washing- ton for the purpose of congratulating our Goy- ernment, in behalf of the Bay of Tunis, on the successful terpination of (bh tavc war und the sesio,auon Of the Union, were taken in charge this morning at half-past eleven o'clock, by U. S. Consul Perry and Mr. Thomas Cox, Assistant Disbursing Agent of the State De. partment, and conducted to the Department in carriages, where they officially called on Secre- tary Seward, in full dress uniform, and pre- sented their credentials. The interview between the Secretary and the Embassadors, through the interpreter, were of the most friendly nature, and continued for over baltf an hour. After leaving the State Department they ‘were escorted through the city in i passing by all of the public buildings and other points of interest. The day upon which the Embassadors will be presented to the President has not as yet been decided upon, but the presentation will probably take place on Monday. Baek aS ea VISIT OF GENERAL GRAN’ 7 GRA T TO THE NAVY This afternoon, Lieut Gen. Grant paid a visit tothe Navy Yard, where he was received with the usnal honors. The Marine Guard, in full uniform, under the command of Major T. ¥. Field, were posted atthe gate, and present- ed arms as he poms, while the officers of the Yard, headed ne, Capt, Smith and Commander Balch, received the General at the flag-staff, a salute in the meantime being fired, and the General proceeded to the Commandant’s quar- ters, where Commodore Radford received tho party. The workmen assembled about the gate, and on the General’s arrival lustily cheered him. After spending some time in re- ceiving the officers, the General and party were conducted to the splendid double-terretted monitor Miantiono: |, Where they spent some time, and after visiting some of the most inter- esting portions of the yard, they took their de- parture, being honored in the same manner, WHITE HOUSE. All the Secretaries were present at the Cabi- net meeting to-day. An interview between the President and the Secretary of War, Sec- retary Welles and General Grant yesterday, gave rise toa ridiculous rumor that our rela- tions with England were about to assume a hostile attitude, and that all our naval vessels were immediately to be put in commission. The report was telegraphed to New York last night by some parties and produced quite a sensation, particularly among the Fenians. It is scarcely necessary toexpose the absurdity of the canard, John H. Reagan, of Texas, and ex-rebel Postmaster General, was at the White House this morning. —— RELIEV Yesterday General Augur issued orders re- lieving the following officers from duty in this Department, and directing them to proceed to their respective residences, to report thence by letter to the War Department :—Brig. General William Hays, U.S. Volunteers. tain and vet Lieutenant Colonel Frederick Rosen- cranz, Assistant Adjutant General, and Acting Assistant Inspector General. Captain T. J. Elliott, Commissary of Subsistence, U.S. Vol- unl a THE CHOLERA. The United States Consul at La Rochelle, France, writing to the State Department, under date of September 30th, says the cholera seems to follow the railroad from Marseilles, via Arles and Nihnes, towards Bordeaux. The policy of the French press appears to be secre- tive, in order to allay the fears and apprehen- sions of the people. Ore case has appeared at La Rochelle. BETURNED. Secretary Seward, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Seward, returned to Washing- ton last evening, after an absence of about three weeks, on & visit to his home at Auburn, New York. The Secretary, as well as Mr. Frederick Seward, both return greatly im- proved in health, the change of climate having bad a most desirable effect. Coal EXCHANGE.—The successful start made in the matter of establishing a Board of Trade for the District has given the cue for the for- mation of other business organizations of a similar character to those maintained in other cities. We understand that the coal dealers of the District are taking steps for the organiza- tion of a coal exchange; and as the coal interest is a considerable one in the District, there is no doubt that such an association would have iC COBB.

LOCAL NEWS. ——¢———— Tux Lincotn Monvmext.—The Lincoln Monument Association for the erection of a monument to Abraham Linceln in the city of Washington, has received at the hands of Mr. C. D. Hess, manager of Grover's Theater, the handsome sum ot $804.50, being the proceeds of the benefit performance given at that theater on the 29th of May last. At thattime Mr. Hess, with characteristic public spirit, sent out an appeal to the different managers of the courtry to co-operate with him in giving a benefit ~ formance in aid of the monument fund. John T. Ford, Esq., of the Holliday Street Theater, answered promptly te the invitation, (realizing a handsome amount for the fund, which was transmitted to the Association through its presi- dent, Mayor Wallach,) but it any other mana- ger gave benefits, as suggested by Mr. Hess, the funds realized must have been turned over to local associations as no returns have been received here. Warious balls, pic-nics, excur- sions, &c., have been given in this city through the season, for the benefit, as advertised, of the Monument Fund, but no returns have been re- ceived from any of them. If the managers of them have anything in hand it is to be hoped they will promptly turn over such amounts to the association, so that it may be known what amount they can count upon in deciding upon the style of Monumentto oe and which must of course be determined by the amount of money at the command of the association. The sum thus far received from all sources, though a considerable one, is{(as has been the case with other associations elsewhere) by no means what the association had hoped to ob- tain. We understand that so soon as returns shall baye been made from the different col- lectors and others a publication will be made of contributions in detail. hen SALE AT THE SuRRATT Hovse.—A large number of persons assembled at the Surrat; House, on H street, this morning, attracted by the sale of a quantity of furniture that be- longed to Mrs. Surratt, executed as one of the assassination conspirators. The sale com- menced in the basement with half a dozen chairs, a table and sideboard, the latter worth thirty dollars, selling for fifteen seventy-five. The parlors contained only a cheap ingrain carpet, a few chairs, sota and marble-top table, all of which went at lowrates. A glass case of wax flowers bronght nineteen dollars and a half, doubtless purchased at that price because of there being no other ornament to gratify the desires of relic hunters. The oil cloths in the passages were much wornand sold for 75 cents persquare yard. In the chambers were two or three soiled ingrain carpets, a few common chairs and cheap bedsteads with mattresses, all of which went off without much competition at rates generally below the average prices of auction sales. lost of those present were boarding house keepers, who were evidentiy disappointed in the character of the furniture, The house is for rent ese FSS, CRIMINAL Court, Judge Wylie —This morn- ing James Morgan was admitted an attorney of the court.

Walker, 8 clerk in the office of the Commissary Gen- eral, had fallen from the fourth to the second floor of the Avenue House, cor. of 7th street and Louisiana avenue. It appears that the deceased was a boarder in the house, and about 12 o’clocg this morninga noise was heard by one of the boarders on the fourth floor, as of some one struggling to get up the stairs. The boarder was on the eve of calling the night watch to help the Mm up, 88 the stairway is winding, and no lights on the fourth floor at that hour, but did not call, supposing the per- son would get safely up. There was a ht cessation of the noise, followed by another noise, which satisfied the boarder that the man had fallen over the baluster. He got up and weht to the second floor with the night watch. man and clerk, where they found the deceased lying dead, his scull being badly crushed. Coroner Woodward summoned a jury, and an inquest was in progress; but at the request of Mr. J. L. Hanshaw, uncle of the deceased, the inquest Was suspended. A VILLAINOUS ATTEMPT ored boy named Jones was arrested by detec- tive Mc itt, for attempting to poison Lizzie Blacken, a servant in a boarding-house on 10th, near E street. Several days ago a large quan- tity of baking soda was found in three gallons of milk, which was about to be used in makin; a Yesterday, the girl was taken il suddenly, and it caused a suspicion, which sulted in an examination of all the edibles in the kitchen. On pouring out the tea, a lump of soap and 8 quantity of soda was found in the pot. Jones confessed to detective McDevitt that he placed the seap and soda in the pot. There has been an ill feeling existing between Jones and the servants, and he had threatened that he would get something from the drug- store that would soon set them all . Jones had been a faithful servant in the house until about two weeks it, when suspicion rested upon him as the thief who had stolen a lot of le furniture, which was found con- cealed on the premises, after having been missed several days.
