QUA CRONSTADT (SPECIAL) NAVAL CORRESPONDENCE. , Cronstapt, August 11, 1866. ‘MAKING READY. TO furL, Te-day we leave Cronstadt for awhile to vivit the ‘magnificent capital of Russia, and to make a variety of @aligbtful excursions to important points in the vicinity of St. Petersburg. , PLBASING REMEMBRANCES, Our ontire stay hese has been of the most agreeable ‘and pleasant character, We did not dream that the generous hospitality and attentions of our hosts would equal that we have already received, From our arrival in the Gulf of Finland to this time we have been the recipients of the most profuse, generous and delicace Dospitulity and substantial evidences of the warm sym+ PetLy and friendship of the Russians, not from the oficials alone representing the Emperor--whose gueste ‘we are—but from the people of every rank and degree. The reception has been national in character and most marked in every way. Dinners of the most elegant and princely description have been given us by the navy and Dy the municipal government of the city of Cronstadt, fat which the most gonerous and friendly sentiments of complete sympathy and regard have been expressed, and no means left untried through which we could be mado to fully appreciate the affection and esteem in which the Roseian nation holds us. The entente cordiale has not ‘been based on treaties, but on the honest and true feel- ings of the government and the people, Itis the genuine affection of brothers rather than the amity dictased by policy and self-interest. No one can doubt this fact who aces the close affiliation between the Russians and our- selves, It is too palpable to be denied, Fach day shows it more clearly, as it reveals some new evidence of the hearty and genuine affection of every one here, from the Emperor to the lowest of his subjects. But the mere re- Cital of the details of our sojourn here, as they are de- veloped, will show more clearly than words what is the nature of our reception, And to that recital I will at once devote myself. THE MoSPrrALITiRS, In my last 1 was compelled, by lack of time, to confine myself to a mere mention of two magnificent banquets which we had enjoyed in Cronstadt from the bands of the Russian Navy and the manicipality of Cronstadt, They were so brilliant that | must not omit to give a further and more detailed description of them. THE NATAL BANQUET. ‘The fire: was on the afternoon of the 9th, and was given by the Russian Imperial Navy in the grand salon @f the Navy Club at Cronstadt, The salon de Casemble— ® splendid room—was elegantly decorated with flags, Russian and the American fraternally entwined by flowers and exotics, pictures and gay banners, At one end of the room was the coat of arms of Rus- sia over the splendid portrait of the Grand Dake Con- stantine, and at the other was a portrait of Washington under the arms of the United States The flags of both Dations draped the ‘The poriraite of Presidents Lit neon were also prominently div. ge with those of =the — imperial ly. encircled wreaths of na‘ural flowers and fresh leaves. The burts of Peter the Groat and of Alexander the Second, rewned with flowers and leaves, were placed tn conspicuous places. All about the Foor Were rare tress and shrubs, and flowers of great Deauty, brought from 2t. Petersburg for the occasion. In the baiconies were two magniticent bands, one the | selebrated orchestra of Lacon, from the Imperial opera, | and the other the «pli ndid post band of Cronstadt.

The scene then became particularly lively. Almost all of us were bonored by a tossing in air at the hands of the Russian officers—a mark of of the highest character, but not preerait & comfortable one. The dance was of a kind to bafile description. It was won- derfully amusing and novel. Some of our officers in- duiged in it and introduced a few Sioux steps, which our hosts confessed were worthy of imitation. The evening was particularly jolly. reception could not be exceeded in hospitality, cordiality and peo flendly teelings It will long be remembered by Our hosts were determined to outdo the grandest American dinners, and I am not prepared to say they ae Pe succeed. Delmonico would be troubled to cel ‘THE MUNICIPAL BANQUET. On the following day we dined with the municipal authorities of Cronstadt, The dinner was admirable in every way, About two hundred and fifty sat at the tablé. There was music, magnificent floral decorations and elegant ornaments of every kind. The bill of fare was a marvel of promises of the most delicate and the richest dishes which Europe can afford, and the promises were more than fulfilled. Iregret that I have not the menu at hand to send a copy, because I should like to show your readers that Russia can produce every- thing that an epicure could desire, As at the previous dinner the wines were of the chvicest vintage and of the greatest variety, Ten thousand dollars were expended ‘on this magnificent affair, The usual toasts were drunk and responded to, the pee not being forgotten. His honor the Mayor, Mr, epenow, presided, aud made some excellent’ and aprvpos remarks, which were immensely well received. @ room was hung with pictures, among which were those of Washington, Lincoln, Johnson, and of Alexan- der IL, Peter the Great and others. The flags of both nations were conspicuously entwined together, sugges- tive of the close and friendly bonds that have for 80 long atime joined Russia to the United States. Speeches were also made breathing the same friendly sentiments as in the naval club, and expressing a confiding faith in the permanence of the ties that unite in closest sym- pathy the two great nations of the Enat and West. This dinner spoke the feelings of the commercial classes, a8 the previous had expressed those of the government. After the dinner a scene occurred which made a deep H isan on all who bad the pleasure of witnessing i THE PROPLE OUT, An immense crowd had assembled in the street, oppo- site the municipal palace, to see the guests of the city and pay their respects to'them. The dinner being over they made loud calls for Mr. Fox and the American offi- cors, who, appearing at the windows, were hailed by thunders of cheers, and every possible demonstration of pleasure and satisfaction, THE NEW NOULE AND MR FOX, Presontly Kommissarrow, the young man who had re- cently saved the Emperor's life and who bad been one of the honored guests at the dinner, appeared arm and arm with Mr. Fox at one of the windows, and bowed to the multitude, He was at once recognized, and the en- thusiastic shout that went up was thrilling. The crowd was wild with euthusiasm, and cheered and cheered again, Mr. Fox, to show the feeling of the Americans, placed upon the young nobloman’s bead a bouquet of flowers, The act was recognized by terrific cheers. No such en- tbhusiasm had ever before been exhibited in Cronstadt. The people were wild with excitement, and it was some time before Kommisearrow and Mr. Fox could leave the window so deafening were the cries. The scene bad a very happy effect on our friends. On the day of the ntation to the Emperor at Peterhoff, Mr. Fox, after he had accomplished that agreeable duty, proceeded to Kommissarrow’s apartments and paid his respects to him. Mr. Fox said that he had come to express to him his personal respecte, and to con- gratulate him in the name of all the people of the United States for having been, through Providence, the means of saving one whose existence is dear, net only to Russia, but to humanity in general, These words were translated by Monsieur Abaza, Afterwards Mr. Fox, others with him, shook M. Kommissorrow the latier being visibly affected by the act. to send his photograph to the gentlemen, and seemed _Banly, tod at the honor, expressing rough baza profound gratitude to his friends of the other hemisphere for their kind words. The event had a very gratifying influence on all en- gaged in it. which Russia has recently produced for her iton-clads, Huge piles of fitteen-inch solid shot and shell lyin about gave satisfactory evidence that Russia lx prepared for any contingency. Her scientific ordnance officers, after an exhaustive exper mental research, have arrived at the same conclusions we have reached in the United States. And I shall not be guilty of exaggertion when I say that Russia has at her disposal ordnance that will sink any iron-clad In Europe. Pnder the ominently wise and eagacious reign of Alex- ander II, Russia is up in the standard of ordnance to the United States, and so far abead of the world. It is immensely gratifving to notice this great fact, because we have seen what other nations have done. Let another war break out, and Russia will leave her mark, notwithstanding the boasts of England and France that they are on the right and successful path Where thore if so much energy. ability and scientific skill joined with a design to have the best in everything, no atter from what source derived, you may re: expect to find the best results when occasion them. We are surprised and gratified at the evidences of Russian progress. We seo thom on every band, and weare convinced that when the grand day of conflict arises the Russian flag will float victoriously over the seas, THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, Ina future letter I desire to say something of the hoe- pitals and the sctentific institutions of Cronstadt. They are well worthy of mention, The Compass Observatory hore is something entirely unique and of immense value. I shall give some account of it at the yery first available opportunity.

The splendid large salon of the club was beantifally decorated for the occasion, Along the walls, near the ceiling, were the coats of arma of the United states and Rossin, beautifully executed, placed alternately, and draped with Russian and American flags, Our banners were awinging with the Russian from every available point. On one side of the room were the lifemze por. traits of the Eraperor Alexander TL, and the Empress, draped with the imperial and national banners.

POLE RO DIE REIOOL TOD RUSSIAN PUNCH. After the dinner a magnificent punch was brewed by by a skilful hand, from champagne, rum and a half dozen different liquids, which was exceedingly nice, but but fearfully heady. According to the Russian custom, before the dinner was half over the President of the dinner, Vorqnnin, arose and made the first speech of the evening, which was frequently interrupted by applause, REMARKABLE HONOR. And it is a noticeable fact in connection with this, as at other dinners, the health of the President of the United States was given first—a custom never before adopted in Russia in compliment to any potentate how- ever mighty or friendly. The President spoke in Russian, which Admiral Lisovs- ky translated as follows:— “The Hon. G. V. Fox, the Assistant Secretary of Navy of the United States, has honored us by receiving the unanimous invitation of the Russian corporation of mer- chants of St. Petersburg to the dinner to-day. It is not the first time that our society has expressed its sincere and heartfelt friendship to the citizens of the Umted States, I think that the respected General Clay has not forgotten the cordial reception which was shown to him (nd the Society in February last, nor the speeches expres. sive of friendly attachment made on that day. But now We are still more closely bound to this great pation by the sympatby which it has shown to us for thé sorrowful event of the fourth of April. The heart of every Russian beat with joy when it was known that our friends beyond the ocean were sending a deputation — from Congress with congratulations for the wonderful reservation, through Divine mercy, of our beloved and lear Emperor. ‘This act clearly shows to tis that we have sincere friends who rejoice in every success of Russia, and who sympathize with us in every trial. Our friendship is not founded on selfish political considera- tions, nor on the possible benefits of commercial treaties. No; itis a bond of affection and the feeling of conscious independence and power, And we think that the bonde uniting these two great Powers are indissoluble, and our sincere friendship will remain unchanged for ages; aud we shall forever, as we do now, raise our glasses for the health of the President of the United States and the whole American pation’? (Great cheering.) THE REPL Mr. Fox then aroee, and in reply spoke substantially as follows :-— “To him who, under divine impulses and the dictates of his own heart, has given to a great nation qnaancipation, local self-government, trial by jury, free- dom of the press and abolishment of flogging, who desires that his reign shall be remembered for the hap- piness it has bestowed upon the people, rather than for glory he might acquire—the Emperor of Russia’? Immense cheering, the company on their feet. TO THE PMPRERS AND ROYAL FAMILY. The toast to the Emperor and the next following to Her Majesty the Empress of Russia, the Grand Duke Heriticr and Imperial family, were drank with all honors and hearty cheers. Mr. Fox was then toasted personally and returned hie thanks for the compliment, and in- dulged in some brief but appropriate remarks which were well received. GRNERAT CLAY. The United States Minister was then toasted, and made avery happy *peech in reply, in which he spoke of the advance Russia was making in every way, and how much was owing to the integrity, enterprise and wisdom of The Ruesian Merchants, whom he toasted. A TOAST TO CONGREKS, Mr. Kokoreff, of Moscow, made the following speech :- The arrival in Ruesia of onr highly respected A: guests has to us @ most significance, even approxi its importance. Our valued gucats have honored us this visit uot on account of politi. cal or interests, but it was only from the disinterested, pure and lofty desires ¢ American prone hn Se of tne people of assia, Mr. Fox has feelings of fully request the honored nited Staten, ‘upon his return to bie nati Sieg his people that they could not have means of ‘@ brotherly feeling of love for Americans ‘n every Russian mansion and in every Russian cabin throughout the empire than by expressing their joy for the preservation of the life of him who sheds light upon Russtan life by bis philanthropy, justice, enlightenment and mercy The citizens of America, understanding the Russian life and history understand the long life and health of Alexander IL is for w pledge of glory, hap. piness andstrength, Deeply filled with gratitude for snel sympathy, I propose the health of all the mormbers of | Congress who have sent to Rassia an invoice of the feelings of the American people. — (Great cbeers.

THE NASSAU BANK DEFALCATION. Examination of Briggs at the Tombs Police Court-AmMdavit ef the President of the Bank, &e. Judge Dowling sat at ten o’clock in the examination room at the Tombs Pollce Court, for the purpose of entertaining a preliminary inquiry into the case of Briggs, the alleged Naseau Bank defalcator. Mr. Gunning 8. Bedford, Jr., came down to suggest to the court that he had just left the District Attorney's office, where he had found on his desk a letter which requested him to state to Judge Dowling, that the understanding was that the prisoner was temporarily commitiod at police head- quarters until this morning, and then to be brought to the District Attorney’s office to-day. Judge Dowling said Inspector Carpenter appeared before him on Saturday, and asked for the temporary commitment of the ner at police head.quarters. He (Judge Dowling) said he could ‘not commit the prisoner unless he was brought before him. The Inspector accordingly produced the prisoner, who was committed, and the examination was then set down for ten o'clock this morning. Judge Dowling accordingly sat at ten o'clock, but neither the prisoner nor Inspector Carpenter was present. Mr. Bedford then renewed his application aa a request that the prisoner should be sent to the District Attor- bey’s office. Judge Dowling said Inspector Carpenter was disre- spectful in not producing the prisoner, and granted the request of Mr. Bedford. District Attorney Hall, upon his unexpected arrival in this city yesterday morning, being made acquainted with what had transpired, immediately gave notice of his desire to have the examination come off before Jus. tice Dowling at the Tombs. Accordingly, at half-past twelve P, M. the prisoner appeared before the magis- trate to anewer to the charge. District Attorney Hall suggested to the Court that he thought the character of the charge against the prisoner was incorrect; that in- stead of embezzlement it should be larceny. If it should asenme the form hereafter of embezzlement it would so appear. Mr, Hall then read the AFFIDAVIT OF Hl, BLYDENBURG, President of the Nassau Bank, as follows: Hamilton. Blydenburg, being duly sworn, deposes an‘! says he it a resident of aaid State and city and county. and as a matter of business President of the Nassau Bank, doing bnelness corner of Beekman and Nassau rtreets, in said city: that he charges, on hia said oath and information and belief, and aw advised by the District Attorney, that one George H.

Mr. Hall—If this can lay over till Thursday or Friday morning Lean get an affidavit stating some specific act, ‘as the present affidavit is too general in its features to admit of proceeding upon the examination. It is pro- bably ax well, therefore, to adjourn till Friday, leaving the prisoner to stand on a commitment; in the mean- time I can got an affidavit from the bookke ‘per contain- ing @ specific charge.
