On the Sth inst, Vice Admiral Tegethoff, accompanied by Mesars, Palacio and De la Torre, returned to the min- fatry and received the following reply :— MINISTER TEJADA TO ADMIRAL TRGETHOFF, Baron Lago, who acted ag Austrian Chargé d? Affaires mear the Arcuduke; Barou Magnus, who acted as Minis- ter of a, Dr. Bach, family physician of the Archduke some time ago asked permiasion to remove ‘the morta] remaios of Maximilian, The government re- fied to ail three that 18 had reasons for not acced- to their request This reply was given because government thought that ite duty required that, previ- ‘ous to determining whether permission shall be allowed to remove the Archduke’s remains to Austria, either an Official docnment of the Ausirian government, or an express au! iority from tne Archduke’s family requesting the repuviiovn government to deliver the remains, should be submitted to the consideration of government. Although Vico Admiral Tegetnoff, by reason of his Social position in Ausima and his personal merits, is de- serving 0° cousideration on the part of the Mexican goverumen!, che latter cannot decide to grant him Permission to remove the Archduke’s remains, Seeing that he has brought with him no credential fuifil- Sime either of the above two requisites deemed imperative fm th: case. The Preside: of the republic bas author- fzed the Minister for Forcign Aftairs to inform Vice Ad- miral Tegethotf that wheo either of said requisites shail be satisiied, whether by an. official document from the Austrian government or by an express authority from the family requesting the Archduke’s remains, tne govern- ment of the tp sai will be disposed to permit their re- moval to Austria out of a due regard to the natural sen- fiments of piety that prompt such a request. The gov- @rameot, out of the same sentiments of pivty, bas in the interim ordered that the remains be embalmed, en- tombed and cared for with all the decorum due to a de- parted being. & LERDO DE TEJADA, ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS OF THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT?

One death occurred yesterday on board tho Illinois, De- ceased was named Margaret McDonough, was fifty-six years of age and died from diarrhoea and vomiting, We have received the following in re. lation to alleged abuses at Quarantine :— TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Sm, Sept, 22, 1867. Knowing the great power of the press in Am: and believing in your love of Jasgice and humanity, we, the unfortunate passe! on Minnesota steamship, desire to bring the story of our wrongs before the citi- zens of New York through your valuable paper. We, the steerage passengers on the Minnesota are detained, im quarantine under the pretence that there is some con- tagtous disease among us, Ibis we emphatically deny. Why should eight bundred and twenty be con- fined on this ship scl hecnge well cirmeiaclcrarid Persons you can pick out on shore, excepting one thing, and that is, we do not get enough toeat? Again, why were the cabin passengers allowed to go on shore, and the crew, among whom there were as many deaths and more sickness ¢! among us? It is a great hardship to be detained here, away from our business and friends, aod many of us have families dependant upon us for support who are suffering through our ole Saga here, Again, we are subjected to the ardehipa ‘and abuse, In fact, we could not be treated worse if wo had fallen into the hands of Chinese pirates. We are almost Weare only allowed a couple of sea biscuits and small piece of moat a day, with a little water colored to look like tea. The prisoners in any of tba prisous are in luxury in com; tous. We no beds to Iie upon but have to lie upon the floors, men, women and children indiscriminately. To tell the story of our wrongs as it should be told is out of my Bower, but allow me to say that here we are, eight hun- deprived of our liberty and half starved for no crime, Wi Mherotore Gosire to appeal From the Quarantine officers we learn that much that ts complained of above is too true. Owing to the num- ber of deaths on the passage from diarrhma and vomit- ing, and the many sick on board on the arrival of the Minnesota at Quarantine, the Health Officer consid- ered it unsafe to allow her to proceed to this city, From the affidavits of several of the first cabin passengers that no sickness among them they were per- mitted to land, but the passeagers wero trans- ferred to the hospital ships Il!inois and Falcon—the well on the former and the sick on the latter, After being thoroughly cleansed and fumigated, the Minnesota was allowed to proceed to thiscity. In regard to feeding these unfortenates, this duty devolves upon the consignees of the Minnesota, The first day 2,500 pounds of fresh meat and a sufficient quantity ¢. tresh bread, as well as the provisions transferred mm by the the Miunesota, ere sent to the ships ignees, The second day, however, derstanding and mismanagement, failed to reach th the consignees supposing that the pas- sengers would be ited to proceed to this city. Pilot bread of the first quality was provided them, but they retused to eat it, broke open the closets in which it was and threw it overboard. On board the Illinois there is almost as larze as the Baltic, which arrived with pearly twice that number on board, thom on the Illinois have tho ole vomel to themselves, tar - ing the cabin. Unfortunately the jw York has not provided any other place for passengers arriving on infected vessels than the sbips above named, and the Consequence is that the deaths are more numerous and the condition of the both sanitary and other. wise, much worse they wore landed on where they would have ample room aod exercise, pom care that, under the circumstances, they req THE QUEENS COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The body of the chapel was occupied by the clerical and lay delegates, of whom over two hundred were present, The galleries were reserved for the public. But asmall portion of clergymen from the Tural districts were present, Delegates from the low church party were more numerous than thoir high church brethren, owing probably to the absence of the Bishop, But little business was owing tothe Bei ernen of the Convention to some time in the middie of Noyember.

The reverend gentioman stated that one of the principal traits of the Gospel, which distinguished it rom mere human systems, was the im; it toindividual character. He then spoke of the care God for man. God who knew the human heart made it to suit the necessities of every man. How the Redeemer ministered relief to ali, to the lowly, the outcast, the sinner and the heart-broxen. He then dwett on the ne- cessity of chanty, which should not spring from ostenta- tion but from a sincere desire to follow the example of Christ by relieving the distressed. .
