An extraordinary, jast te from Vera Cruz, brings intelligence that on the 3d inst. ‘Yke Spanish naval commander at Sacrificios had demaad- ed the delivery of the Maria Concepcion within twenty- four hours, the payment of $100,000 indemnity, and an apology from the constitutional authorities, threatening extreme measures in the event his demand was not com- plied with. Notwithstanding the threats, it appears the @gevernment at Vera Cruz refused to comply with the de- mands of the Spaniards, and great excitement prevailed ‘et the port when the extraordinary left. Men were at ‘work in all the forts, making preparation to resist if the Spaniards made a move, An American war steamer was teaming up and down between the Spanish fleet and the castle of San Juan de Ulloa, and it is said Capt. Jarvis had passed a note to the Spanish naval commander advising him that he should require the rules of civilized warfare te be observed by the Spaniards in case they attempted 0 carry out their threat, by giving due notice to neu- ‘wale to quit the place before fire was opened upon it. Great excitement has prevailed here ever since the ar- rival of this news. The Spaniards and the clergy fre boisterous. They are speculating largely u ‘will be the next news from Vera Cruz.

It was proposed to have a repiqué on the strength of the news already received, but I believe it has been decided to de- Iny it until they are advised that San Juan de Ulloa is once more in the hands of the Spaniards. Perhaps, in a few days, when they hear of more Spaniards being aseas- winated and find that things at Vera Cruz do not move on 0 smoothly as they now expect, they may have occasion to change their tone. Pacheco, however, is a politician, ‘and will not suspend his scheme if all of his countrymen are sacrificed; so we may naturally expect to see the Spa- ‘Bish business go abead until some power is to jards country will eheck it.

Merchants had to submit, how ever, in preference to being kept out of their funds for any time longer, the last condacta having arrived a year ago, and at the same arbitrary rate; whereas, by law, three such conductas ought to be sent every year. ‘The funds of the English bondholders, amounting to $800,000, or more, were not rent, the Miramon faction in- Stating upon collecting two per cent on the same, which ‘will show England how her Minister is respected; where- fm, $44,000 came down free of all duty, being money col- Jected by Spaniards for the wounded of the African war. Very flattering, but he is accustomed to it. + He tried very hard to stop the conducta from going al- together, probably advising his countrymen that, in case of an accident, this government would make no claim for gach losses. This caused a great distrust, and the English houses remain without remittances.

But it is ‘ly evident that some cause must be found by Spain to quarrel with this government, for dif: ferent reasons. First, because it is believed to be a pri- vate stipuiation of Mon-Almonte treaty to assist the cburch party with men, arms, vessels, &c.; and second, consider it their interest todo so.

But I will spare you all comment upon this momentous question.

OUR SPECIAL DESPATCH. Quxnxc, August 21, 1860. During the morning rain fell steadily, but at haif-past ten, when the Prince started from the Governor’s regi- dence for Parliament House, the sun shone out, and the ‘weather became oppressively warm. ‘The Prince drove down in a state carriage, the Seven- teenth regiment acting as guard of honor. The soldiers of the garrison, stationed along the route, presented arms when the Prince passed. But few people were in the Streets, and little excitement and few cheers. When he reached Parliament House a salute was fired from Dur- bam terrace, pear by. The Prince departed from his usual punctuality, and did not reach the House till eleven, instead of half-past ten, as alvertised. Few people were around the entrance, only about two hundred, as all who could obtain dress coats and white kids went in to the levee. The Prince fret received addresses and deputations in the council chamber, already often described. The scene ‘Was mosi impressive, The Prince, dressed as a British colonel, stood on the centre dais, and staff, suite and Go vernor’s staff grouped themselves around. In a semi- cirele, filling the rest of the room, stood officers of the army and navy, members of parliamen and priests. Addresses were read in English and Fronch. The Prince read replies in both languages, with emphasis, but {m alow voice, and seemed affected when reading por- tions in which his mother and home were mentioned. He received a copy of cach addross and handed it to the Duke of Newcastle. Gentlemen presenting addresses received replies kneel- ing; then retired backwards, making three bows, their long robes tripping them up as they went. Frenchmen were delighted at the perfection with which the Prince spoke their language. After the reception of addresses, members of Parlia- ment were presented. This ceremony, for which so much preparation had been made, was very simple. ‘The Prince stepped down from the dais, each person came forward, handed his card, and his name was called, ‘The Ear! St. Germain then threw the cards on the dais, and the Prince bowed. The happy individual then bowed, and rushed home to share his joy with his wife and fami. ly. Then there was a brief interval, during which the Toom was cleared of all but officers and suite. Earl St. Germain then arranged particulars for a general Presentation. Bishop Mountain entered in full robes. The Bishop is very aged, and presented a singular contrast to the youthful heir apparent. Having received a reply, the clergy retired, the company epgaged in conversation, and amused themselves by watching the movements of a young equerry, who will be the “Tommy” of the party when he reaches New York. The Prince led the conver- sation among his suite, laughed heartily, and could not bel distinguished in any respect from the rest of the company. ‘Then the magistrates’ addrees was presented. After this, the officers of the army, navy and militia, the members of the chy Council and the Mayor, whose long robe divided his attention with bis huge neckcloth. Several Americans and an immense crowd of provin- cials were presented, the ceremony being the same as before described, Earl Germain announcing names. The Prince seeme1 wearied with studying tho different varie- ties of bows and scrapes, and was glad when the presen- tation was over, be being obliged to bow at every samo. The levee concluded at two o'clock. After presenting addresses from the houses of Parlia- ment by the Speakers of the houses, Narcisse Belleau and Henry Smith were knighted. The ceremony consist- ed of kneeling before the Prince, who laid his sword lightly upon each shoulder and said, “(Sir Narcisso,” and #0 forth, The ceremony was #0 quietly eonducted that few in the room knew it bad taken place. Mesers. Williams and Thompson, of New York, were presented. During the afterroon many persoas visited the ships.of- war, the smallest of which starts for Montreal at four o'clock to-morrow morning. When Sir Narcisse Belleau went to be knighted, he dropped on both knees, contrary to etiquette, amidst suppressed titters. Volunteers and Irish Indians wound up the levoe. ‘The lawyers of the city were preparing an address, but would not present it, because magistracy came first. The Prince's baggage and trunks, marked ‘“V. R.,” wero surrounded by crowds, who respectfully surveyed them, and saw not much royalty about this, for the trunks look shabby. At three o'clock the Prince breakfasted with both Houses of Parliament, the Governor General, staff and Lord Lyons, at the Government House. The Queen, Con sort and the Prince of Wales were toasted. At the first toast all rose but the Prince, whe remained sitting until the Duke of Newcastle, in a whisper, reminded bim that no subject sat while Queens were toasted. The Prince smiled with perfect self possession and rose. He bowed twice in answer to a toast of himself. Soon after tho Prince gave the last toast, to the Governor General and both Houses of Parliament. Some member called out— 186: PRICE TWO CENTS. ADDITIONAL FROM EUROPE. Police Intelligence.

Captrin Camoron, of the Fighteenth precinct, was noti fled of the discovery, and at the suggestion of the detec- tive, policemen Syphers, Shaw and Kennard were detailed to keep a constant watch on the premises. A domestic in the employment of Dr. Moffat informed the lice that she observed two men coming from Judgo jerrepont’s house that morning with a large basket of clothing in their possession. As Dr. Moffat’s residence afforded a good view of the Judge’s house, the police, by permiesion of the owner, oceupied one of the front rooms, fo as tobe on the watch for the burglars when they should return.

Neither of the shots took effect, nor was it intended that they should, {being only meant to frighten the fellow into sub- mission. Upon bringing the prigoners to the station Douse and searching them, a number of skeleton keys, some lock picks and a jimmey were ‘ound in their posses- sion. Smith, the heaviest and most formidable looking man of the two, was at once identitied as an old offender. He gave his dame as Smith, but the police kuow him by the name of Cahill. It is said that he was engaged in the Duane and Pearl stroet burglaries, somo years ago, but escaped by turning State's evidence. Walcott’s face was also familiar, but the officers did not know exactly where to place him. He was dressed in a gentec! manaer, and upon opening his pocketbook was found to be pretty flush. From the station house the burglars were conveyed to the detectives’ Otfice at Police head quarters, where they were “shown up,” and then surned over to the daguer- rean artist. In the afternoon they were brought befure Justice Connolly, as before stated, and upon the aflidavit of poticeman Syphers they were committed to prison for examination. As soon as the news of the arrest of the tage was communicated to the detectives, officers ler and Slowey started out in search of the stolen goods, After bunting through all the pawn oilices in the lower part of the city, the detectives, by dint of hard work and shrowd management, aucceeded tngrecovering about $5,000 worth of the stolen property. it is not exactly known what aynonnt was stolen, as, up to last evening, Judge Pierrepont’s family had not retarned to the city. Mr. Johnson, who arrived in town in the fore- noon, #tates that, although a large amount of property ag injured by the burglars in packing it up, still he does not think be will bea heavy loser. He canoot say, for a certainty, whether anything wag stolen from him or not. It is more than probable, however, that bis loss will amount to $1,000; but what is that, compared with what the barglars contemplated carrying off. The capture of ‘the burglars, in this case, and the recovery of the stolen foodR, reflect great credit unon the police, avd shows what can be done DY the Metropotttans when thenrscives a little. On reaching the residence of Cabill, at No. 31 Chrystie street, Mrs. C. made her in her night clothes, and no sooner did she see the men than she at once iden Vifled them ag officers. They entered the place, and on going into the back room discovered it filled with tranks and ets, containing the is stolen from the Fifth avenue dw hogs. ‘A strong fire was found burning in the room, @ number of crucibles standing on tho floor, evidently intended to melt up the jewelry, 80 as to prevent identification. The goods were all packed up and taken to the Polico Headquarters, where they will be kept ‘until they are identified by the owners. Mrs. Cabill was also arrested and held for examination. On 4 Srree.—Jobn Flamgan and Russell Follett went ona bit ofa spree on Monday night, and became glo- riowly elevated. Towards morning Flanigan, whose purse was exhausted, insisted on Foilett’s treating “for the very last time;”’ but Follett thought he had spent enough of money on his companion, and refused to ao- cede to the request; whereupon Flanigan, not having the fear of the law before his optica, caught the moneyd man around the neck and, by force and violence, compelled him to diegorge to the tune of thirty.five centa Follett, who knew epg about the revised statutes, saw clear case of highway robbery could be’ made inst Mr. Flanigan, and laying aside all perronal feelings and friendship he caused the law breaker to be taken into custody. Justice Connolly, after investigating the cage, decided to commit the prisoner for cxamination. Ay Uncrararct Fxiow.—William A. Tompkias, « young map of respectable family, was taken into custody by policeman Whitmore, of the Eighteenth precinct, on charge of stealing $68 in bank bills from Mr. James L, Kiernan, of No. 19 Stuyvesant street, under the follow. ing circnmstancs:—The Telegraph Line absorb all his time. I wonder if the Virginians will enter into bonds, or “down wita the dust,” and have the great sbip try her fortunes in the harbor of Hampton Roads. If she brings home a cargo of cotton and Virginia tobacco and oysters—I bog pardon, this is not the season for the bivalves—it will be the last cargo of that description from tbat locality, I really hope the Virginians will have the great ship, send a million of people to see her, load her with Virginia produce, and make a heap of money outof her But, alas! a silk purse, we are told, cannot be made out of a sow’s ear. Whoever sends the mouster craft to Virginia will get a foretaste of the expense of running steamships. Great good, Ihave no doutt, will grow out of the en- terprise of building the Grea: Eastern. It is difficult to predict whether she will be a commercial and finan- cial success. We may be sure that the art of navigating ‘the ocean by steam is quite in its infancy. I do not be- lieve the revolution of the last twenty years has oeen as great as it will be that of the next twenty. We are not going to continue to send steamers with a vast depth and draught of water across the ocean at a speed of only ten or twelve, or fifteen miles an hour, and at a cost of £20 or £25 for each passenger (cabin), and well nigbon toa pound sterling for each ton of gross weight in the ship for the voyage out and back. The revolution we require, and that we shall have, will be far greater speed, and a saving of expense. ‘There are at least two partics now engaged jn con- ‘structing steamers, with which they say they can cross the ooean in three dayo or loss. If I know the seuret ur Plan of their intentions, of course you would not expect me to divulge it. Sufllce it to say that I be- Neve they are bound to achieve a success that sober minded people would consider fabu- lous. Within the oext five years the voyage between New York and England will be made in jess than five days. That I consider as almost absolutely certain. The bases of improvement are, mode of propulsion, stylo of engines and form and size of bull. It is now reduced to a practical certainty that steam can be heated up 600 degrees (Fabrenbelt), and that alone is going to effect a saving in motive power of—not oue-fifth—but more than four fifths. Now, what is the reason we cannot have a steamboat that shall combine all tho excellencies and advantages of your Hudson river steamers and the Great Kastern. The latter “eamer draws too much water. When there is Buch & vust displacement necessary, of course there is a great expense or loss of power. The Great Eastern is about 700 feet long and 90 broad. What would you say to & steamer 1,000 or 1,200 feet long, and 180 or 200 in breadth? Construct sach « vease! with nearly or quite aflat bottom, and to draw not to exceed ten feet of water, with or three pairs wheels, and would there oot be an power that would reduce the coat “Governor General alone,” but was hissed. Soon after dinner the Prince said he had better take ad- ‘vantage of the fine weather, change the programme and go to Montmorency Falls. The Duke of Newcastle begged he would not lead them another ride like that of yester- day. They started off in carriages and plain clothes, and returned after seven o'clock, cheered going and returning. Darcy MoGee, the Irish refugee, says the Prince mw him at breakfast, asked who he was,and said if he had been sovereign in 1848 Darcy would not have been ex- patriated. Mayor Wood's Secretary saw the officials in regard to the Mayor's invitation, and says that red tape avounds, but thinks they regard the proposition favorably. Lord Lyons is tn favor of accepting, but has less influence than is supposed. Thompeon pushes the matter with great ability, and wok high ground to-day to the Duke's Secretary that, if the visit was not regarded as a compliment he would re- turn home, report, and let the Prince take care of him- self when he reached New York. The Duke appointed an interview to morrow morning. ‘THE GENERAL SEWSPAPER DESPATCH. Qvense, August 21, 1860, Amid a poring rain the Prinee left the Governor Go- neral’s house to take up his residence in the Parliament Buildings. At the levee all the Roman Catholic Bishops in the Pro- vince were firtt presented separately, next the Judges of the Superior Court of Lower Canada, then the members of the Logisiature and the Council, the Speaker of which read an addr in French and English, to which the Prince replied. At the condusion the Speaker was desired to kneel down, and the Prince, taking an unsheathed sword from the Duke of Newcastle, struck the Speaker lightly, saying, «Rise up, @ir Farciane Bellean.’” The members of the Lower Houre were then introduced, and an address was read by the Speaker, Wm. Henry Smib, on whom the honor of knighthood was also be- stowed. After this the officers of the garrison were presented, then the Anglican Bishop and clergy, who presented an adress and received an appropriate reply. About « thousand gentlemen were also presented. A number of addresses from national societios wore presented, After the levee, upwards of fifty members of the Logis. lature, Counci! and Assembly partook of a de jeuner with the Prince.
