The committee appointed by the Philade’- phis Union League have adopted the following vrder of proceeding for the reception of dele- gxtes tothe loyal Convention. The Southern delegates are invited to meet atten o'clock on Mondsy morning at Independence Square, where they will be met bya delegation from other Staws, the boys in blue, and the Repab- lican Invincible from this and other States, and escorted to the Unien League House, where tbey will be formally welcomed by Charies Gibbons. After this the Southern delegation will march to the National Hall, which has been fitted up for their accommodation during the session of the convention. The citizens are providing for the accommodation of delegates at their own honses. Union meetings are to be held every evening during the sess:on of the convention in front of the Union League House and National Hall. (General Horatio G. Sickles has been appointed marshal of the pre- cession. A fire broke out about tour o'clock Monday atternoon in Hanson’s mill, Chicago, on the south side of West Lake street, near Union street. which destroyed everything fronting on Lake street, betweer Union street and Des- plianes: a mill on the corner of the latter street, and siso crossed the alley ia the rear, destroy- Ing several d ings and barns in the rear of the lots fronting on Randolph street, and also all the buildings on Union street, between Lake street and the alley, making over half an entire block destroyed. The burnt district was closely built, the buildings principally of wood. A mill, four family grocery stores, an agricultural warebouse, carriage manufactory, a&sasb and blind factory, two German board- ing houses, eight dwellings and five stables were destroyed, together with the greater por- tion of their contents. Losses estimated at $150,000. Inrured for $75,000. At half past one o’clock on Saturday morn- ing a strange incident took place in Montreal. The facts of the case are these:—On Wednes- day the Police Magistrate, Mr. Brabant, com- mitted Erneet Sureau Lamirande for extradi- tion on the charge of forgery preferred by the French Goverpment. The prisoner’s ceunsel, Mr. Donbrie, gave notice thathe would apply for a writ of habeas corpus. He did so before Mr. Justice Drummond, and on Friday after- noon the case was argued before him, ana ad- journed till Saturdayafternoon. In the mean- time Lamirande was taken away at half-past one o'clock on Saturday morning by the Grand Trunk railroad, whose! train had been kept waiting for several hours in order that he mightbe conveyed by it and be in time for the pesca 3 to England. The affair is under the consideration of the judges, and is exciting considerable indignation. A despatch from New Orleans Aug. 27 says: “1tis believed that a military commission will de constituted at anearly day for the trial of those men who were conspiciuous in the late riots. 1t1s also said te-day that Mayor Mon- roe has been relieved and his successor ap- pointed under martial law. Gen. Baird has applied to be relieved. He will probably he mustered out. The military commission tor this investigation of the riots is still sitting, hence nothing authoritative touching this de- liberation has transpired. The city press vio- lently attacked Gen. Sheridan tor the pasttwo days. The immense army Italy called into the field toreclaim Venetia trom the Austrian domin. jon 1 being rapidly disbanded. Garibaldi’s volunteer force is disarmed, and the regular army is fast being reduced toa peace footing. The Austrian Government has determined to isene bonds to the amount of one hundred and forty million florins to meet the extraordinary expenses of the Inte war, including twenty million thalers stipulated to be paid to Prussia by the treaty of peace. The report of the Health officers of Louis. ville show the number of deaths for the week £4, of which 22 were trom the cholera. The disease has not assumed an epidemic form here, and is now abating. The cholera is in- creasing jin {Memphis, though it has not as- sumedan epidemic form. Thirteen cases were reported yesterday, seven of which proved fatal. Fourteen deaths from cholera were re- ported in New Orleans on Monday. The dis- enee has considerably abated. Acable dispatch dated Madrid, August 23— p.m., says:—Fears are beginning to be enter- tained here as to the destiny of Cuba. The Politicia, in an article published to-day, argues that ihe impeding collapse of the Mexican Empire will compromise Spain's possession e the Island of Cuba. Mr. Ancona, the present member of Congres: from the county of Berks, Pa., was a candi- date for nomination by the Democratic County Convention, but was defeated by J. Lawrence Gets, who received to nomination by a ma jority of twelve votes. The Radical State Convention designated the following delegates at large to represent Maine at the Philadelphia convention: George Cony, General Chamberlain, Hon. Samuel BR. Spring, and ex-Governor Abner Colburn. District delegates were also chosen. The Radical convention for the 7th congres- sional district ot Illinois has nominated H. P. H. Bromwell by acclamation for re-election to Congress. The opposition have nominated General Black. Mr. Broomall was renominated for Congress by the Republican Convention at Westches- ter, Pa. All the nominees for county officers are soldiers. Mazzini has refused to accept the amnesty granted by Victor Emmanuel, and declines to be asubject of the King on any terms, prefer- ring exile to such a position. The publication of the New Orleans Tribune was renewed yesterday. Advices from Detroit indicate the probable renomination of Mr. Beaman to Congress. s28e ENGLIsH FINANCES.—The London Daily News says: “It is useless to disguise the fact that the financial condition of the country is becoming every Gay more critical. For nearly three months the bank rate has been main- tained at ten percent. Itis fortunate that the past crisis visited us when trade was gen- erally sound, and when the realization of large profits from the revival of commerce with America, afforded exceptional resources to meet the disaster. But itis impossible not to see that the limit is nearly, if not altogether, reached. No trade in the world can withstand the continued lapse of credit, and the trade of Engiand less thanany. Fora time the bur- den may be borne, but the end is sure. Many signs prove that we are on the verge of wide spread commercial distress. We may, per- haps, have no great sensational failures, with liabilities figuring for millions; the havoc will probably be chiefly among the second and third class traders, Itis especially bard that the punishment sbould fall upon them for an excess of specn- lation with which they have had little or nothing to do. hus. however, stands the fact. Such @ panic must necessarily leave its mark, and the Daily News suggests one remedy that the government have it in their owerto propose. It 1s an authority to the Bank of England to make a further issue of notes, leaving the rate of discount to be fixed at the discretion of the Directors. The legisla- ture might perhaps sanction such a salutary measare; and from the time it was s‘nctioned the financial horizon would gradually clear and confidence increase, both at home and abroad.”’ &2-On Thursday last one of the marines at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, was sick,as was suppesed, of cholera, and to all appearances dead. While the funeral procession were con- veying his body to the tomb, he returned to consciousness, and unceremoniously kicked the top of the coffin off, and objec.ed to going in the direction of the cemetery quite so soon. His decision was, of course, respected. g7 Catholics and Protestants are each to b allowed to exhibit maps and other docament atthe Paris Exhibition to show the numbe and éxtent of their missions hronghout th world, and in this way set forth the succes that bas attended their missionar¢ operations @7 A scoundrel was arrested in Huntsville Als., on Thursday, charged with no fewe than ten rapes, principally committed on little girls, one of whom died six weeks ago.

THE PRESIDENT’S TOUR. — ‘tic Popular Demonstrations. ° The Scar of yesterday contained the particu- jars by telegraph of the Presidential trip as far 4s Philadelphia. The following gives an ac- count of the enthusiastic reception accorded to him in that city, and which is the more no- ticeable as foliowing upon the churlishness of the City Councils and Corn Exchange of that city in refusing to tender the usual courtesies and marks of respect due to the Chief Magis- trate of the nation : PHILADELPRIA. The Presidential tram arrived at Philadel- “ae at2.13 this afternoon. He was received y & committee and military officers. Colonel James Page addressed the President, tender- ing him the warmest hospitalities of the citi- zens of Philadelphia, irrespective of party. He represented the merchants, mechanics and professional men of all kinds, who recognized him as Chief Magistrate of the Republic and the chosen protector of their rights and liber- ties. The people of Philadelphia heartily con- gratulate him on the close of the unfortunate rebellion; that peace had returned; brother is no longer engaged in war against brother: that all the States were restored to the Union, and the Constitution and the Union was one and inseperable. They believe that you, through Divine blessing, will bring back peace in fact as well as in name, and that soon all good cit- izens will throw aside all partizan considera- Uons for the nation’s welfare. Wishing you a pleasant enjoyment of the noble mission you are now performing and a safe retern, we ien- der yan a hearty welcome, believing that it will be as acceptable in ats informality as if it came more properly from our manicipal an- thorities. The President said: Permit me to say, in re- sponse, that I tender you my heartiest thanks, as well as those of the gentlemen accompany~ ing me. I know how to appreciate a reception made by the citizens of Philaeelphia. I trast that peace has come, and that we will have a permanent peace and be afflicted by war no more forever. We have had war enough. Let us now have peace. All my efforts nave been directed to bring about peace and a perma- nent reorganizatton of the Government. The President was heartily applanded du- ring his address. General Grant was also loudly cheered. The President and suite were then attended to thebarouches waiting inside the depot, and were escorted by the First City Troop, which acted as a body guard. The military were then formed in a line, under the command of Gen. Meade. The civil authorities fullowed, and also the National Johnson Club and other clubs, merchants, and firemen, followed by a cavalcade of citizens, and proceeded to the Continental Hotel, where the President will view the procession. After the arrival of the President and suite at the Continental. the President, with Secre- tary Seward on his leftand Gen. Grant on his Tight, appear on the portico fronting Chestnut street. Secretary Welles, Postmaster General Randall, Admiral Farragut, and others of the excursion party, together with (ten. Meade and ‘aff, were also in the immediate vicinity. The object was to witness the passage in review of the military and civic procession. The mass of human beings in the street below was im- mense, and many were the cheers given by the moving line for the President, Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut; the President nearly all the time waving bis hat and bowing to the crowd, in response to the compliments bestowed upon him. The President made several attempts tospeak. Fellow-citizens, he said, be calm for one moment. Here were cries from below of “Order,” “Order.” The crowd perceiving that the President was about te address them, surged to ane fro. and moved closer, if poesi- Die to the hotel. The President again wanted them to give him their attention for only a few moments. Finally, comparative quiet having been secured, he said: THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. Fellow Citizens - In visiting Philadelphia on the present occasion it was not for the purpose of making & speech, but it was on my way, in company with distinguished gentlemen, to the great city of the West, Chicago, to witness and participate in laying the chief corner-stome of the monument to be erected in memory of a distinguished statesman. We haye ‘taken Philadelphia on our route; and being here to- day, 1 must be permitted to tender to tne citi- zens of Philadelphia on this occasion, and under the peculiar circumstances, my heart. felt and sincere thanks for this public demon- stration. I trust the day is far distant when one part of our Union shall be arrayed in battle against the other. I trust the day is tar distant when brother shall be set against brother, and in the name of God, shall lift his hand against bis throat. I trust the day is far distant when the land we love shall be again drenched with a brother's blood. [Cries of “Good.”] The baletul planet of fire aad biood bas disappeared, and the benignant star of peace has taken its piace, and under its in- fluence I trust the country will return to affection, peace, and harmony, and that recon- ciliation will again be brought about, and we shall be enabled to stand together as one people and one Union. [Cheers.] So far as refers to the past, with regard to political affairs, 1 have already said 1 did not intend to make aspeech. My public acts and me: are already before the country, and itis from them you are to judge. (Voice—“That’s a fact,” “You are right,” “Go ahead,” “Weare with you.”] Believing as 1 do that the policy I have pursued bas been calculated to advance and promote the best interests of the country, God being my helper, 1 intend to stand by it, and with your help and God willing, this Union shall be restored. (General applause. } Then let us stand together; let us approach a common platform; let us forget that we have been divided into parties, and forget, too, that ‘we must obey the behests of party instead of the command of the country. Let your coun- try be saved; let the interests of the great masses be preserved. Then let parties sink intoinsignificance. If a party must be main- tained, let it be based on the great principles of the Constitution. Yes, the Constitution of my country is the strongest league which can be formed, [renewed and general applause:) and when you talk about leagues, (laughter, | who is it that has entered ihto a covenant and tormed a league above the Constitution ! [Ap- plause.] Such 4 one has entered into a com- bination against his country, and we should looxto it. Let each man belong to the great national league, and let the Constitution of the United States be the coustitution of his league. For myself, 1 want no better consti« tutional league than that formed by Washing- ton and his compeers. [Applause.} lt was good enough for them; it is good enough for you and for m Applause, and cries of “That's a fact,” “You are mgbt.”) As a band of brothers, loving our country, and deter. mined to support the National Constitution, let us stand around the common altar of our country and swear that all shall perish and fall in the dust rather than the Union of the States shall not be maintained. [Applause.} From my youth to the present time it has always been my creed on all great emer- gencies to rely on the intelligence, patriousm, and integrity of the American people: and so 1 stand to-day. [Renewed applause.) The Constitution of the country is in your hands, and I feel confident that you will, at the proper time, ana at the ballot-box give such expres- sion as will maintain it, so that the country will stand redeemed and regenerated. (Ap- plause.} As 1 entered your city to-day 1 saw on a mechanical establishment the words, ‘Welcome to the President.” I know it was the emanation of laboring men. (Cheers.] Who placed it there knew of my confiderce in them; and if you, the people, will act right, as eyi- denced here to-day, you—{a voice, “All right” —you can bring the class of men who cal themselves politicians to terms without much effort on your part. (Ories, “That’s a fact.’"] We have heard much about emancipation. ‘Who has tried more than I have to establish that great principle? But are you quite sure that a large jon of Pennsylvanians are not having the t; t's rod held over them? Who is it that is holding that rod over you? There is much talk about men nateg pat out et office. The clamor is that somebody is turned out and somebody is put in. The reason for this is they desire to themselves in power and say to you and the people who fough battles and themselves to di while ney sealer safe at home, that they Enth ot be turned out, and nobody else ap- eieiea te .

New ORLEANS, Monday, August 7 —Gen- eral Baird bas asked to be relieved, and will probably be mustered out. The military commission appointed by Gen- eral Baird to investigate the riot in this city on the 13th ultimo bave completed this duty so far as taking evidence is concerned, and are now preparing their report. It will probably be sent to General Sheridan for his review the latter part of thie week, when be will for itto Washington. Nearly two thousand foo cap pages of testimony bave been taken. witnesses aang policemen, white zens, and freedmen, aud including the sta: ments of representative men of both sides. The first testimony elicited was from Colonel Adams, Chief of Police, and bis aids, besides a number of the se! nis and privates of the force. The wounded whites and negroes were ‘xt sworn, and were followed by white and bi: : otherwise the report will be classified in such A manner as to give all the evidence Tegarding the cause and origin of the riot under one bead. and the behavior of the police, with the cruel murders by the rioters, under another. it will show that the first sbot fired was from a revolver in the hands of 8 white man at the Procession of freedmen which was passing Canal street en route for the Capital, where the convention was in seasion. After this shot about twenty minutes passed withou! farther disturbance, and {the procession reached the Institute, when asquad of poice opposed, and in attempting to make arrests, fired on the freedmen, who returned the fire. A mob of Citizens then joined the police, and the great massacre commenced; it also shows that se. veral pohcemen had reversed the bands on their hats in such a manner that the numbers could net be seen, and that after they forced their way into the hall where the conveution was held they disregarded the play of a white flag, and fired indiscriminately on the unarmed members and a large number of jpectators, some of whom were not in sympathy wi'h the political proclivities of the convention. Some of the citizens wore indicating the existence of organization, After this gross breach of faith, the testimony says that the members and epectators arose en masse and drove the police out of the chamber with chairs, and then barricaded the doors. A few of the members and spectators succeeded in making their escape from the building during the contusion which followed. After the barricade had been established not ie perron in the batlding escaped unharmed, and about thirty men murdered. The ulars of the murder ot Dr. Dostie while a prisoner in tbe hands of the police, and the wounding of other members in the samefcondition, se also included. The attempttolynch W. R. Fish, a member, is positively sworn to, and while credit is given to the police for saving the lives of all who were in the building, and are now dead, the force ts found guilty of nearly allthe murders that were committed Evi- dence was elicited showing that in many cases the police killed freedmen when they could have arrested them without trouble,and that wounded negroes were thrown in a eart and killed while struggling to free themselves from the dead bodies which bad been placed on top ofthem. As to the origin of the riot the commission will undoubtedly report that it was caused by bitter feelings on the of the citizens and p lice toward the Radical Unionists and the treedmen. They will aisc be probably of the opinion that the affair was preconcerted, inasmuch ns the evidence shows that it was talked of by the citizens for 7“ previous to its occurrence. Altogether, police and the rioters made four separate at- tacks on the barricades before arresting all the members wooo tators, Ye rioters did not cease up 5 militar; bd peared t convention hed bess dispersed, he it will be the opinion of the commission that if the troops had not arrived just as they did, the riot would bave progressed to the extermina- tion of all the Unionists and the city. The investigation includes the a, and speeches of the universal suffrage meet- ing, Which was held on the fmday night pre- vious to the riot, and the exact words of the speeebes will be given in the report. General Sberidan bas imposed strict secrecy on the commission, and no autbentic reports were obtained of the evidence during its session. This statement, however, is reliable, although brief. The entire city press having received the official desapatches of Sheridan regarding the riot, at is pitcbing mro him hot and heavy, some orfthe papers going so far as to charge bim with untruthfulness. Tus Tunnet under the Chicagoriver will be 1,651 feet long, extending from Franklin to Clinton streets, of 343 feet on the east and 415 feet on the west end will be uncovered. There will be two e-ways for trains eleven feet wide and fifteen feet bigh, and in the 15 feet passing under the river there will be a passenger way in the middie which wij] be- reach by stairs at eachend. The ‘nnnel will rest upon a foundation of Concrete two feet thick. That portion beneath we cpannel of the river will be thirty-two feet below low water-mark, and the masonry will be pro- tected by a heavy sheathing of lead. The tunnel will be constructed by sections, in coffer dams, in such a manner as to obstruct only® portion of the channel of the river. Nineteen bids were offered, ranging from $247,000 to $430,000. The contract bas not yet been awarded. The lake tunnel will be com- pleted by the Ist of November. Nine thon- sand feet are already completed and only fif- teen hundred morejare required to finish the work.
