It isnot now expected that the inves- tigation will be commenced before Friday. It will be public, and will be held in the rooms of the supervising inspector of steamboats of the Treasury department. The investigation, it is thought, will not occupy more than five days. Lioyp Lownpxs, member of Congress elect from the 6th district of Maryland, gives notice to all the boys in the four counties which he represents that he will meet such of them as desire to compete for the West Point cadetship at Frederick on the 26th instant, and that an examination will be held then and there to de- termine who is best qualified for the appoint- ment. The examination will be conducted by a committee. Presipent GRANT and party, consisting of his daughter Nellie and his two sons, together with Gen.

He is evidently much in mind, beyond the insanity which is said to possess him, and his actions betray an inward consciousness of the enormity of the offense which his life was on trial. We learn from a entleman who has visited him in his cell that fies frequently seen looking at his hands, first on one side and then on the other, as it expect- ing to see blood upon them, and his actions in other respects raise a presumption that remorse for the murder of Turner is settling down upon him. During @ late thunder storm he was greatly agitated, and his face the next morning was one of the most woe-begone imaginable. He slept but little, and every thunder peai would start him up asif a thousand harpies were dogging his footsteps.

Szmovs AGAINST AMERICAN Seamen.—A Trieste paper says: Some days ago the Ameri¢an frigate Wabash, with forty- five guns and 590 men, arrived in this port, and since that time the sailors of the vessel ‘have committed Lange after outrage. A more law- less horde than this crew, composed of all na- tionalities, has never been seen here. Not only have noses been bitten off, and eyes gouged out, But respectable ladies have been insulted on the open streets, while attacks on the police, which have forced them to resort to their revolvers have become matters of daily occurrence. In. deed, our people have become so exasperated by these sons of “free” America that they have no other epithet than ‘‘beasts” for them, and several of the rowdies have been soundly pu ished. Whole droves desert the ship, to be af- terward recaptured by the wholesale; no land- lord will any \ ger permit one of these ru‘fians to enter bis place, and the police is night and day on its guard.

A QveER Cxarr.—The New Haven Palla- dium says that while two boys, aged ten and fourteen years, sons of Mr. Dwight M. Welch, of that city, who were visiting friendsin East Hampton, Conn., were bathing from an island near the center of Pocatapaug lake, one day last week, their boat, which was moored a little from shore, floated off and was wafted to the main land, about a mile away. The boys, fear- ing the tinding of the boat with their ciothes therein would cause serious alarm, launched from the island an old table, and the eldest boy, hoisting an umbrella in his hands, started, saying, “Good-bye, Harry, if [ never see you again,’ reached the shore in safety, returning with the boat.

Only extracts from the testi- mony are sent. CENSURE OF GEN. VAN BUREN AND COMMIS- SIONER MAYER. The commission state in substance that they find that the evidence shows no taking of money by any members of the Vienna commission ex- cepting Gen. Van Buren and Mr. Mayer. In regard to Gen. Van Buren the special commis- sien do not hesitate to report that they dissent from his justification of the taking of $500 asa loan from Mitzel, under the circumstances as shown in the evidence; that they hold unsatis- factory the explanations given by General Van Buren touching the $1,000 which he received trom Messrs. Boehm and Wichi; that they find an utter want of frankness and an inexcusable disregard of exactness in the statements made by him to the Secretary of State, in his letters of the 1th and 13th of March, in regard to the number of concessions for bars, and touching the telegrams from Vienna reporting the char- acter of corruption; and that the inexactnessof the assurance then given misled the go ment into the belief that no irregularities had been committed, de ng an investuzation at New York, and thus compelled the transfer of the inquiry to Vienna. As to the justification set up by Mayer that all he did in thie asking and taking of moneys was done by him as a subordinate, with the knowl- edge and approval of the chief commissioner, and as to the yarious questions of veracity raised by the evidence between General Van Buren and General Mayer touching the alleged com- licity of the former in the proceedings of the fatter, and the sharing by General Van Buren of the second thousand dollars obtained from Boehm and Wiehl, the special commission frain from expressing an opinion, for the rea- sons: 1. That they do not deem the discussion of these points essential to General Mayer, since no such approval of the acts nor partition of the moneys would, in their opinion, render the acts proper, or constitute a valid defense for their commission. 2. That the testimony indicates that additional and more conclusive evidence on these points is attainable at New York than can be found in Vienna. 3. That they do not conceive, for reasons to be presently stated, that their judgmenton this point is necessarily embraced in the scope of their instructions. They hold that it wasthe dujy of the chief of the American commission to exercise so wise @ vigilance in the appointment of each and all of his assistants id especially of his first and confidential assistant, and so exact a super- vision of the management of the commission, as to protect it from the smallest taint or sus picton of corruption, and enable it to accom- plish at Vienna a reasonable success, and fitly to represent the integrity and honor of the gov- ernment. GENERAL MISMANAGEMENT. The special commission, therefore, without entering at all upon the charges ot complicity made against him by Mayer, are compelled w regard Gen. Van Buren as res; ebief commissioner, for the at committed by bix contidential apart from charges of corrupti management generally of the commission, which Gen. Van Buren appears te have lef his subordinates, to have been marked by a lack of judgment and foresight, an absence of fective system and order, and a looseness in contracts, in instructions, and in accounts cal- culated to insure the ruin of any private busi- ness, and which, ina great national trust like that intrusted to Gen. Van Buren, was to the last degree discreditable and intolerable, as in- dicating indifference or incapacity, or both com- bined. THE AMERICAN RESTAURANTS. The special commission further report that there have been established in the grounds of the exposition two American restaurants and bars, inregard to which no corruption appears; the one by — Kune, of Chicago, the permit for which was given by the Baron Schwarz-S born, without the intervention of General V Buren, and the other by Tracy & Jewett, ut der an authority from the American depar' ment, but without the payment of the bonus and per centage ‘demanded by Mayer for Van Buren and himself. There are in addition two bars in the ands, called respectively the “American Pavillion” and the ‘American In- dian Wi ’ and @ third bar, granted at ‘am, General 8 an Buren’s special request on th: romise of his supervision, in the rotundaof the ‘alace of Industry,all three belonging to Boehm & Whell, which appear to have been obtained by them insu: on bg bred payment of moneys ~— gr of an egg sows = e State lepartment, in a letter quoted, ised Gen Van Buren that the establish- single bar at the Vienna exposition of” questionable propriety. The would be Ror commission are clear that the ground us s distinctly taken by the government repre- sented the sound judgment of the American peo- ple; that American drinks, however desirable asa matter of curiosity among the attractions of an European exposition, are not an institu- tion in which the American people take an honest pride, nor one which they desire to propagate through their agents and with the sanction of the government. In, view of this fact, and of the further fact that these bars have been multiplied by corrupt practices and to the great scandal of the country, the special commission recommend that the American commissioner at Vienna be instructed to advise the Imperial Manager of the position that the authority given for the establishment of the said bars was given improperly, and that this American Commission will no longer sanc- tion, supervise, nor be in any manner responsi- ble tor the same, nor consent to their using the national name or the national colors, CREDIT-Monitrer 1x Court.—The substance of these suits in their present condition before the United States circuit court for the district of Connecticut, as appears in the in this city, is'an immense burde’ materials consumed in ing would take a man of ordinary ca) ing wri the best part of an to peruse ali the documents that But the whole thing is very easil; down.
