Tu consequence of the rumors of a reduction of the Russ‘an tariff, eighteen thousand workmen addressed « letter to the government in St Petersburg inquiring ‘what foundation exists for these rumors. The Finance Minister, in his reply, says that he do%s not sympathize with the free trade views of M. Molingri. Ho does not desire a reduction of the tariff. The Minister for Foreign Affair, replying tothe same inquiries, dectares tha’ he sees no necessity to reduce the tariff in favor of foreiga countries, although such a reduction might improve the relations with foreign governments. The question of the lowering of the tariff would therefore remain unin- fluenced by political motives. The London Saturday Review and the London Review concur in®recommending that the extreme ponalty of the law should not be tnflicted on the Fenian prisoners convicted of high treason. The Pal Mali Gasette believes that the govornmont is ip possession of information proving that the failure of the late insurrection has not damped the hopes or broken the organization of the Fenians, and that thoro is etill need for extreme vigilance. ‘The Croatian Diet postponed tho discussion of the ad- dréss'to the throne, Tho Diet resolved to abstain from passing ali resolutions or bills until.

Ip the session of tho Legislative Body of France, on the 13th of, May, tho Marquis de Moustier made the fol- lowing communication, of which a brief news report by the cable was published in the Henaup yesterday: The Marquis seid—Gentlemen, the London Confer- ence has termmated its labors, having signed, on the Uth inst., a treaiy determining in a decisive ' manner the international position of tho auchy of Luxemburg. ‘The French goverament had for some time past’ been. preoccupied by the undecideg state in which this question, so important for the security of our frontiers, remained.

Some time afterwards Greatrex told hor the notes were completed, and he suid he bad written tbe siguatures. dhe saw bundles of the notes tn a capboard, About this time Greatrex proposed to her to leave the country with him. She was to tell her father she was going on her holidays, which sho did. She went to Aberdeen to stay with some friends, while Greatrex and the Grimshaws were to go about the country and get the notes exchanged. Greatrex came to Aberdeen unexpectedly.

Greatrox gave her money to bring ber home from New York. Evidence was then led to show that Sewell Grimshaw Was an engraver, and was ‘‘so good a workman that Le generally got. the finest jobs,’” and that he had a set of extra fine tools, John Gilmour, of Gilmour & Dean, Glasgow, deposed that they printed drafts and checks for the Union Bank, but that their notes were printed in | London. He had examined the notes in evidence, and found them to be forged. The genuine note was engraved by a much more elaborate process than the forged ones, Jacob Perkins Bacon deposed that bis firm engraved the notes of the Union Bank, and that the forgeries showed many points of difforence. There were in the forged note only thirty-five lines behind the word ‘One,’ instead of thirty-seven; the engraving of the vignette was imperfect, especially in the shoulder of one of the sores. They were certainly not by his firm. Some of the forged numbers tho same as those he lad mani tured. Peter Lamb and William Cairns Wyper, clerks in the Union Bank, whose names were on the notes, deposed that the signatures were forgeries in every case.

Continued War Preparations in New York. Large amounts of arms and munitions of war are at the present time being manufactured rapidly in New York, and although various quarters, such as Nebraska Territory and San Francisco, are suggested as their des- tination, still a very conclusive opinion may be formed on the point from recent Fenian proceedings. At the armory of Mossrs, Starr, corner of Bedford and Houston streets, men are now working both day and night in the manufacture of small arms. Old Enfield ritles imported from Knugiand and springfield muskets are being converted and transferred into eflective weapons, while many ship guns of heavy calibre are likewise turned. ‘Three days ago tho Messrs.
