THE PRESIDENCY, | Sons’ AND SAILORS’ CONVENTION, CONTINUED FROM FIFTH PAGE. dleton men in the Minois de! have carried matters with a pg hand. "On Matter of Presi- Gent the IMinois delegation stands twelve for Pen- dieton and four for any other man. "Phe W: delegation is solid for Pendleton. Pendieton’s record on the peace sane troubles the Southern men. They think it will defeat him in the North. ll they want is success, and are willing to vote for man who can carry the North, in this matter they exhibit much wisdom, but their present choice 1s for Chase. Tennessee will give a complimentary vote for Johnson, but after that will for Pendleton, ‘Louisiana is postiz for Hancock, but there are some for Chase. tnia goes solid and enthusi- asticalby. for Chase, and after that for the strongest man, whoever he be. The Territories were ruled out of the Convention by the Natfonal Committee. and they were refused tickets of admission to Tammany Hall, but through the efforts of Mr. Winston, of Chicago, they were ad- mitted, and they will demand the right to vote, The New delegates are mixed; probably one-half of the Maine delegation will vote for Pendie- ton and the balance for Chase and Seymour. set will be divided between Chase and ur. lassachusetts will be for Chase and Hancock and strong it Pendleton. New Hampshire and Ruode Island will vote simi- larly to Massachusetts, ‘The New York delegation 1s cniny against Pen- dieton, but they are not vehemently for either Chase or Seymour, ley are broken up into petty and local factions and will not be very successful in their endeavors todo anything. Rey, Chauncey C, Burr is in favor of Pendleton and his theory, but his influ ence is on the wane. The delegation 1s strongly for bred or Seymour, but in any event against Pen- ieton. It 48 rumored that John 0. Breckinridge will be present on Monday. A splendid supper was served up last night at the New York Hote! in honor of Beauregard, Fitzhagh Lee and Wade Hampton. It was very appropriately tendered to them by the leading democrats now assembled here, The Presidential fight seems narrowed down on ‘the first three or four ballots to Pendleton and Chase. ‘The latter has gained rapidly during the day from Hancock’s friends, with the understanding that if Chase cannot be nominated on the third or fourth ballot that they will then hy ae Hancock first for President, and if defeated for that, then for Vice President. Senator Hendricks being considered out of the way, his ela) ae ae are mainly supports Chase, except those from the West, who go lor Pendletoa. {From the Louisville Courier, July 3.) August Belmont, the Chairman of the Democratic Committee, to the surprise of everybody, will appear im the Convention as a delegate. shows that the real plan of Sys onoon, to the favorite of the West has not yet been develo There is great curiosity manifested to know where he stands and who he is for, and what trap he will spring. The wisest heads gay he for Cl , though it is currently reporced that he has raised some less than a hundred thousand dollars in the interest of Hancock. Hendricks has written no letter of witidrawal. He maintains the same attitude that he has always, ad- Vising his friends to im good faith for Pendleton, and above all for harmony and success of the party. He is the second if not the first choice of the East, and may prove to be the man. But if Mr. Pendleton De not nominated at an early stage of the proceed- ings a new man may be chosen.

Journal, July 4:—“The Southern negroes will not vote for General Grant at the November election, He ts a candidate before them without the franchise issue, which almost abso- Jutely controlled them in the recent elections, With this powerful advantage the radicals were well nigh defeated in all the Southern States. Without this question involved in the Presidential election, there is not @ shadow of doubt as to what the result will be.” The Yazoo (Miss.) Democrat is jubilant over the democratic vote in the State. Hear it crow:—“The great radical incubation is over! Behold its off- pring! A democratic giant! from which unlooked for progeny, the old buzzard flies in terror. Missis- sippi registered nearly twenty thousand black ma- jority. it has gone—barring foul piay—immensely democratic.” How Reconstruction is Working—North Car- elina la a Muddle—Protest of an Outgoing Against an Incoming Governor.

A quorum of the Soldiers’,and Sailors’ Convention not being present at ten o’chock yesterday morning, the hour to which the Convention on Monday ad- journed, a recess until twelve o'clock was taken. At twelve o’ciock Colonel O*BEIRNE, Secretary, called the Convention to order, and stated that, in consequence of indisposition, General Franklin, President of the Convention, had been compelled to withdraw. It therefore became necessary to nomi- nate and elect a President pro tem, Generals Ewing, of Ohio, and Pratt, of North Caro- lina, were nominated, when a delegate rose to point of order, and stated the first Vice President on ‘the list was by virtue of his position entitled to the succession, General J. W. DENVER, of California, was accord- ing?y called to the chair, General SLoccm, of New York, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, reported the following as ‘THE PLATFORM OF THE CONVENTION. Whereas a mutual interchiange of views between members of this Convention and delegates to the Democratic National Convention has fully conirmed us in our previously enter. tained opinion of the purity and patriotism of that body, and fully justiies the belle’ that in the selection of candidates and iri the construction of a platform the Convention will be governed by the spirit of the address adopted by this body on the 6th inat, ; therefore, relying upon this belief, Resolved, ‘That we will support its nominees for Preskient and Vice President of the United States, and that on our re- turn home we will induce our late comrades im arms to unite with us in yielding to them @ united support. A motion was made that the report of the commit- tee be received and the committee discharged from its further consideration. A point of order was raised that the motion to ac- cept the report was out of order, as the report was the work of the Convention, and that it must be ac- cepted subject to the action of this Convention. Colonel Mork, of Indiana, renewed the original Motion, and said that the Democratic National Con- vention had just adopted a most magnificent plat- form, which should be endorsed by every soldier and sailor i the Convention. Colonel €aMPrELL, of Ohio, said that the gentle- man had just said that the National Democratic Convention “had just adopted a most mag- nificent platform.” How did this Convention know that it was a magnificent platform? It might be satisfactory to the gentleman, but it might not be to the Convention. It was simply a proposition to “go it bind.” He wanted to see the “banner hung on the outer wall.” For all we might know the platform might endorse, or at least be silent in regard to the reconstruction acts of Con- gress or to that infamous machine, the Freedmen’s Bureau. No one knew here what tts views were upon the question of finance. This Convention had not been in session three days and come from the friends, their families and little ones with their mouths padlocked. He therefore moved that the re- port be laid on the table, General SLocum addressed the Conventien on be- half of the platform, and said that it had been the object of the Convention to reproduce faithfully the views of the soldiers and sailors of the country, ‘They believed that there was no doubt on the question that it was the intention and purpose of the National Convention to adopt the best platform that could be devised. General ROGERS, of Hiinois, rose to a question of privilege, and asked whether the report had been re- celved, and being answered in the affirmative sec- onded the adoption of the report. The CuAIRMAN said the preamble and resolutions had been reported, and the business before the House was their adoption of the report or its rejec- tion. General ReyNoups, of Michigan, moved the ac- coptance of the veport, in order that it might come before the hoi for full discussion. ‘Loud cries of “Question, question.’’) jonel CAMPBELL withdrew his motion to lay on the table and moved the adoption of the report pre- sented by him on Saturday. Objection was raised that all debate was out of order until the report had been received. Colonel CamPBeLL withdrew his last motion and renewed the motion to lay cn the table, Considerabie confusion arose and EUGENE DuRNIN, Sergeant-at-Arms, called upon te sergeants-at-arms of the delegations to aid in securing order. Colonel WHITTAKER, of Iilinois, addressed the house, but his remarks were inaudibie for a minate at one time, in consequence of the confusion, A request was made that Colonel Campbed would withdraw his motion. General Suocum said the report was before the ouse. Colonel CAMPBELL withdrew his motion, and moved as an amendment to the report the preamble and Tesoiutions offered by hin atuyday. The previous question was ordered, and the pre- amble and resolations of last Saturday were accepted and read by tie Secretary, Colonel O'Beirne. General Rocsns, of Minot, moved that te report of the committee and the resolutions just read ‘be both adopied, and on that calted the previous ques- tion. A point of order was raised that the previous ques- tion was ont of order in a popuiar assembly. The Citar ruled out the polat taken, and an appeal from the ruling of the Chair was sustamed. Colonel CAMPBELL then witudrew his motion and the question recurred on the adoption of the resolu- “tions offered by Colonel Campbeil. The vote on the a ance of the resolutions as a subst.tute was then taken on the call of States. Af- firmative, 52; negative, 246. ‘The question recurred on the adoption of the re- | port of the committee. | A DELEG. cailed attention to the fact that the District of Columbia and the Territories had been omitted in the vote, and hoped it would not be re- peated. The report of the committee was then read. The vote on its aduption Was taken as foliows:— Yeas, 287; nays, 7. ’ A resolution wes then offered by General THomas J. EWING, Jr., of Kansas:— Resolved, That the faith pledged in'ite awe, is in sbouid be lightened by vigile: never by repudiation ; that all the bonds of t issned after t wage of the Legal Tener act, au law expressly pay aid be paid able in legal tender notes, but without currency, oF, at the option of the holde bonds bearing rate of interest currency 6 tenders, 80 amount of that circulation, and that the banks to supply pearly of the nati lowing the five-twenty bon the rate of the date when they be. onal tl country the dishonor of repudiation, General EwinG then addressed the Convention briely in support of the resolution aud was followed of New York, jp opposition, | id t come here to discuss (Cheers and applause.)

A polnt of order was raived that the motion to lay on the table Was out of ord and General McQuade wit Bay Gaveloged motion. General MeQuabe (in response to repeated calls) continued, but was interrupted by a metion to sus- pend the rules ordering resolutions to be referred to the appropriate committee, A DELEGATE from Pennsylyanta thought they were stepping on dangerous and important und. They came here to give due notice to the Crittenden reso- lution, and he thought that purpose liad been per- verted.

It was then moved that the rules be suspended to = the reading of the platform adopted ational Convention, and x woudreas conhdalon, erose and half # dozen puints of order were taken, A motion that the rules be passage of General Ewing’ call fora division of ‘ the motion to Democratic National ¢ Con’ cd moc! ven! lesired to retain the floor. oe ‘The SECRETARY then proceeded to read the plat- form of the National Convention, Colonel CamMrseLL then said that he had been just tc years making war in behalf of tne democratic and it gave him happiness to say that for the time in his itfe that party had adopted a piat- form which met his cordial approbation, and oftered the following resolution:— Resolve, That the declaration of jen ado} the Dees Rene tet ta eea cons gr ners ratified and approved and that the communicate to that Convention a copy of this resolution forthwith. ‘The resolution was adopted under a suspension of the rules amid great enthusiasm gud witd cheers. General BUCKNER, Of the ex-Oonfederate army, ‘Was introduced and was greeted with loud cheers, and said that he had come here merely as a looker on, he taking deep interest in the deliberations of the Convention. Like the members of the Conven- tion he had been a soldier, and like them also, as soldiers, he had been prompted by sincerity in all he had done; but like them also he had resolved to bury all past issues (cheers), and now desired only to do all within his power to aid in restoring the constitu- tion of a restored country, and to oppose with them those revolutionary elements now so prominently brought forward by the radieal party, which was more inimical to the constitution and the country than was ever the Southern army. He took great interest in all the proceeding of this body: but had not expected to ve been intro- duced; but he would take this opportunity of tendering to them for himseif and all other Con- federate soldiers harmony of action and support of those general principles of the constitution which they were now united to carry into effect (cheers), and aseiat them i their endeavors to restore a united country. General McQUADE rose to say that there was one sentiment in General Ewing’s speech with which he did not agree, viz—that these delegates were nearly alloficers, If that were so there must be but few soldiers represented here. He therefore offered a resdlution that in the report of the penceeenee the secretaries be instructed to omit the rank of all those Dertioieeene Private J. H. HILDRETH opposed the resolution and it was withdrawn, An Alabama DELEGATE took the beget ed to make an explanation, and said that he had been either misrepresented or misunderstood by the re- ye of some of the papers, who had put him be- fore the public as saying that he had done all he could “to take Alabama out of the Union.” He de- sired to state that the entire Alabama delegation, in- cluding himself, had been soldiers in the Union army. (Cheers,) General SLocuM then offered a resolution appoint- ing a committee of five to wait upon General MeC!el- jan, to assure him that though he had not been brought forward as a candidate yet the conftdence ofthe Union veterans in him was not unimpaired and their love for him was as ardent as ever, and that the highest honor that thia Convention could confer upon him would but poorly express its esteem for him; and further, that the eommittee be in- structed to invite him to assist them by his presence and ability through the coming campaign. The resolution was adopted under a suspension of the rujes amid a storm of enthusiasm, and private J. T. Higgins and Generals Franklin, Slocum, Pratt and Williams were appointed a committee to carry the resolutions into etfect, Aresolution was then offered that the thanks of this Convention and of all patriotic and right minded citizens are due to the President of the United States for the removal of Edwin M. Stanton from the War Department of the government, a position which the said Stanton has disgraced and dishonored since his appointment thereto, and that for his many acts of coal to both Union and Confederate soldiers, for his injustice to gallant and meritorious oficers and for his acts of usurpation and official tyranny ta en- titled to the condemnation of the entire country. ari unanimously under & suspension of the rules. A perfect rush of resolutions and motions here ensued, as about a dozen motions for an adjourn- ie sine die had been made and withdrawn by re- quest. General EWING, of Ohio, had read a telegraphic despatch from General Durbin Ward, of Ohio, re- gretting his inability to attend the Convention and ates the delegates of his warmest sympathy and support Jeneral GREEN CLAY SMITH, of Montana, offered a resolution that the Executive Committee be in- structed to make arrangements for a grand mass meeting of all the federal and Confederate soldiers in New York at an early day. Referred, Colonel CAMERON, of Arkansas, temporary Chair- man (General Denver having withdrawn), then made a brief address, and after the reading of a m, by Miss Emma F, Milloy, of Indiana, entitled «The White Boys in Blue,’? dedicated to the members of the Convention, the National Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Convention of 1868 adjourned size die, amid great cheering and enthusiasin, The name of General J. Kirby Smith has been er- Toneously and unintentionally used in connection with the proceedings of this Convention on Saturday and Monday, It should have read General Thomas Kilby Smith, the last named gentieman @ gallant officer of the Union army, being, in fact, the person alluded to, and the error leading to his name being confounded with that of the ex-rebei General Smith.

As reported to the HERALD by cable telegram, and already pubkshed, in the House of Lords on the 25th of June Lord GRANVILLE, in moving the second read- ing of the Established Church (Ireland) bill, said that the recent outhurst of Fenianism had shown the necessity of a policy to Ireland both of firmness and of conciliation. Lord Mayo’s sugges- tions respecting a Catholic University indicated that her Majesty's government felt the necessity as well asthe opposition, He proceeded to vindicate Mr. Gladstane from the charge of having con- cocted a hastily divised scheme for the pur- pose of stealing @ political advantage. After ar- guing that the present bill was a necessary preliminary to further legislation, he proceeded to defend, on the grounds of onggee' reason and right the propriety of, putting an end to an institution which was unjust both as the Chrreh of a mino- rity and not the Church of the poor. He denied with emphasis that this was an attempt to lay hands on “sacred” ; Such was not the opinion of Bishop Butler or of Archbishop Whately. When, he asked, was this property dedicated? By the act of Henry VU, who wok tt from the Ronan Catholics, or by that af Mary, who restored it? He denied, again, that the right of pro- perty would be affected by the interferenge with property acquired and held as was this. Nor was this cause of the Established Church of Ireland the use of the English Establishment. On the con- trary, the seperation of the two would be advan- tageous to the latter. Then it was onjected that the Irish people itself did not care for this relief. This was not likely, and it was not the fact, It was argued —— @ moderate Reform bill in- troduced by a liberal ministry that the people were apathetic; and what sort of a measure did the next year see? He passed lightly over other arguments against the bill, based severally on reférences to the coronation oath, on the personal sentiments of er*Majesty, the supposed danger to the act of Union, and the imaginary in- justice to the poor of secularising ecclesiastical fonds. The argument that to touch the Irish Estab- lishment would be fatal to the Protestantiam of Europe he thought — be disposed of by reference to the conduct of the Protestant communities of Continental Europe themselves, Lord Grey justified his taking from the hands of the government the task of moving that the bil should be read that day six moptus on (he ground that it was desirabic should not appear a mere party vote, His own f had ever been that the existence of the Irish Church was a gross injus- tice: but he thought the present proposition to suspend the filing up of ecclesiastical vacancies was not the right mode of remedying that tnjnstice or even of carrying out the end proposed by the aavo- cates of t present measure. He argued that ma- ehinery which at present did not exist in the Established Church, and whieh this bill did not attempt to provide, ought to be first created with reference to the Msposal of the p- erty which—for instance, the proceeds of Pa vate munificence—it was coneeded on ml hands must be left to the Episcopal Church in Ireland. ‘The present preposed course was un- just and neediessiy offensive. What was not to be done was explained, bnt not what was to be done, Still further, he complained of the policy by which @ measure of this kind, which it was especially ex- pedient to reserve for calm deliberation, had ‘been made the occasion of agreat party fight, and he ve- hemently deprecated the advocating its accepance by appeais to the fear of Fenianism, Lord Malmesbury, dfter expressing his surprise that the resolutions of the House of Commons had not been, in cordance with precedent, communi- cated to their Lordships’ House before this bill was flung upon ther bie, and dwelling upon Mr. Glad. stone's inconsiste: a8 proved by his own speeches stituents, Went on to argue that ne ground as the first resolation Mons. of the House of Cou Lord CLARENDON showed that Lord Grey had formerly ¥ a very different tot from that of his speech this evening. On the merits of the question he argued that if we had a fatwa rasa to fill ap we should never at this date think of erecting such an institution as the Irish estat. lishment, and that there was no suficient reg for our not removing it now if it were an tnju What a sc i it must be In the eves of uniriend!y fore from crit whieh foreign called for the m the feeling in Ireland of a grievance. ld not at onee vure rancour, the growth of centuries, but it would be a step in that direction, and, indeed, what- ever its expedi it was demanded by our con science. § Tie 1 party had been taunted With not having brought forward this question wien in office, If they had, they would have been reviled #s traitors. But the conserva- tive party had passed through a process of development since then. After reviewing and dis. ing finaily of the several objections to the bill, he jamented its rejection, which le anticipated, ae wel) because he foresaw the acceleration which tt would Tend to feeling on this special subject as from regard to its effect upon the reputation of that House, which it Was peculiarly important to maintain in view of the coming House of Commons. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said that he had always been a supporter of Catholic Emancipation, but he denied the justice or the expediency of con- cessions like that now demanded. It was the land question which engrossed exclusive Interest in Ire- land. Lord Derby, who began by apologizing on the nd of infirm heaith, but spoke with great anima- jon, alter criticizing the conduct and motives of Mr. Gladstone, denied the moral competency of Partia- ment to carry such a measure of spoliation as had never been accomplished, except in the case of the monasteries, against ecclesiastical property in this country. If @ certain length of possession gave a title to private property, prescription reaching far beyond the Reformation ought surely io insure & tranquil seston to the Church of Ireland uniess, indeed, the old maxim, Nullum tempus occurit Bo. clesir, must be read backwards. On the principle on which this biil was supported the property the city companies might be iy confis- cated; and as for the qualification that, at all events, Parliament might take away what Parlia- ment had given—in the fret place, Parliament could not properly _ away what it had | tm 1868), and 12,194 tons of ore of equality, in xy Wi bors’ goods.” The present move- ment was, in fact, due toa combination of Catholics and ef enemies of ail religious endowments, How novel a view it was that such a disendowment could be lagicingte: he tions from Ph Grey and Mr. Gladstone. the special difficulties of a gradual tabiishment and to the impropriety of call- mg on Her Majesty to act in direct opposition to the terms af her coronation oath, he dilated on the post- tive evils which would result from deprivi of the class of resident gentry supplied now by the clergy, and the substitution of a more intemperate ministry. It would be a con- clusion dangerous to England and tuconsistent with the preservation of the Union; but to Ireland it wouid be fatal, He warned the House not to shrink from Rocking as it thought right by the fear of a conilict which it had not provoked with the other House or with acurrent of public feeling of which he doubted the existence. The Ear! of KimpeRx.ey missed, in the preceding Speech, any reference to justice to Ireland, He him- Seif still saw a distinction between private property, to which there were natural heirs, and Chureit pro- rty,to which he een the whole nation was ir; and he could fot perceive the distinction be- tween the principle of the present proposal for deal- ing with Church property, and the not very distant dealing with tithes, which was not usually repre- sented as confiscation. He defended, moreover, the lea for the bill drawn from the consideration of enianism. It would be dangerous to legisiate in a panic on threats of disasfection; but it was wise, when there was dissatiasaction, lo legislate with a view to remove the cause. As for the kind of legisla- tion, he himself had at one time been somewhat in favor of concurrent endowment; but to carry out that the consent of the diferent religious bodies must be obtained, and it now appeared that they re- pudiated any such plan, ‘The Bishop of London explained certain expres- sions of his which had been construed as imputing unworthy motives to the author of the bill. He de- nied that this bil was founded on the precedent of that of 1833 or of any other suspensory bill, and showed that the present bill would entirely stop the action of the church wherever a vacancy occurred. But his main objection was that there was not before them any scheme of disestablish- ment. When there was, their lordship would doubt- Jess consider it carefully; but at present, besides discovering numerous difficulties in the way of forming such aschéme, he could not discover the need of it, or, indeed, among moderate Irish Catholics the desire for it. Peace was what Ireland required. The Irish church establishment might be modified with advantage ; but to destroy it would be to hand over Ireland altogether to the Roman Cath- olic church and to bring on the repeal of the union, The debate was adjourned. GERMANY. Exeited Speeulation on the Frankfort Bourse. [From the London Times (city article), June 25.) According to the advices from Frankfort, the business people of that city “have now entered into one of those periods of Intoxication were specula- tors, to make up for long forbeurance, take in- discriminately everything that is offered, and buy eagerly securities neglected for years.’ During the last week immense orders have been sent to Vienna for shares of the Elizabeth and Pardubitz Railway, and a large amount of Theissbahn shares have been taken off the hands of the Credit Bank at high premiums for the end of the year. It is admitted that while the people are contented with the reduced interest of Austrian bonds they may naturally be satisfied with a smaller return on rail- way stock; but the return from the companies in question is precarious, as it is only now by the re- cent extraordinary exportation of corn they have paid for the first time their dividends out of in- come, 80 as to dispense with the support of the State. New _ issues under the State guarantee of Austria and Labi on 2 are near at hand, such as the Alfold ratiway, froin Grosswardein to Essegg, the Laibach- Tarvis railway and the Arad-Temesvar railways while various other companies have yet to complete their capital pull large crvations 1, of additional shares, as the move- ment is favored by @ plethora of money and by a perfect lull ih politics, 1t appears to be re- garded a8 probably only the beginning of atime of flation, which may continue until speculators are compelled by a change in the money mar- ket or by some political event to liqui- date. There was a good demand for Lombard shares, recently introduced on Bourse, and the price has been sent up five per cent in & few days, A subscription for $12,762,000 thalers of Kursk-Charkow preference shares, five per cent guaranteed 4 the Ruseian govern- ni ment, has been 0) at the office of the Moiningen Credit Bank, and proj to be succesaiul. For — the yptian loan such sums as have been offered to the firms in connection with the contractors have beet readily accepted, A Swedish loan, with lottery drawings, is expected, and loans of German cities and govern- ments for railway a and the conipletion of armaments are put forth for smaller eums almost every week. American securities continue in good demand. FOREIGN DHSCELLANEOUS ITEMS, The two hundred florin shares of the Vienna Tram- way (horse ratiroad) Company, although they have not yet been legally emitted, are selling at a premium of from 90 to 100 in Vienna. Such a success has not been paralleled in that city since 1856, the great in- Nation year for the Vienna Bourse, The new Catholics of Vienna and vicinity have or- ized under the ministration of the Rev. Karl ugust Forstner and put forth a long confession of faith. They renounce allegiance to thre Pope and the bishops of the Catholic Church, and will hold all their services in the language of the people. The Rev. Karl August Forstner is in friendly corres. Pondence with the ceiebraied Johann Ronge, who is about to visit Vienna. The De! f Paris, in reference to the declara- tion of tl fan that he regards with an equal eye all his subjects, whether Christians or Mussulmans, observes:—‘‘Are, then, the Mussulmans to have the privilege now-a-days of giving us lessons of tolera- tion? While the chief of the faitiful was pro- nouncing these noble words the question is asked in France whether it is proper to impose limits to the zeal of the Church, which desires to undertake the conversion of the Arabs {"” The Debats, of Paris, publishes the following state- ment of sums still due by the city of Paris to various contractors on account of new thoroughfares opened or in course of construction, and which have to be provided for from the projected loan :—Rue jormgo, 67,260,406f. ; Rue Reaumur, 63,600,000f, ; Boulevard Haussinann, 53,509;053f. ; Rue Olivier, 36,500,000f. ; Rue des Rennes, 34,245,096f, ; Boul a pereur, 26,814,200f. ; Rue Mon vard St. German, 22,062,250) 18,753,620f, ; Rue Mouffetard, vi Arago, 16,678,808f.; Rue Lafayette, 15,200,000f.;-Abord des Halles, 12,510,000f.; Boulevard St. Marcel, 10,522, 148f.; Boulevard Magenia, 10,500,001; Avenue Bosquet, 6,626,7.

It would not be amiss to place at the corner of the new‘streets an inscription which, with the names, should state the cost of their formation.”* An annual Parliamentary return shows that in the year 1667 37,696 tons of British copper, wrought and unwrought sheets, nails, &c., and 640 tons of ore were exported from the United Kingdom. ‘onsid- erable increase over the export of 1866, In both years India was the largest customer.

The returns relating to tin show no very remarkable «ifference from those of 1868. 6,430 tous of tin and 309 tons of tin ore and reguius were im- ported in 1867, the Straits Settlements being the chief source of supply; and 4,226 tons of British tin and 1,29 tons of foreign tin were exported from the United Kingdom, Frauce being the largest customer; 98,818 tons of zine were imported in 1867, chiefly from Germany and Belgium (a larger quantity than Ine: antl 7,87 tons of British and 6,752 tons of foreign zinc were ex- ported, both considerably larger quantities than in 1866.° The export of British lead in 186% comprised 174 tons of ore and 48,003 tons of pig, rolled, and other forms of lead, the jai customers being the United States, China, India and France. The import into Great Britain of lead, pig and sheet, in 1867 amounted to 46,148 tons (a considerable increase over 1806), aud of lead ore 9,146 tons, Spain and Sar. dinia being the chief source of supply; about 600 tons of foreign lead and lead ore were exported from the United Kingdom.

The yachts Martha and Apollo—the former of the Brooklyn Yacht Club and the latter of the Bayonne— are matched for three races, at $500 per race, to come off respectively on Saturday, Monday and Tu day next. The Fleur de Lys is tacking up and down and across the Sound and East river in a perfect frenzy Of delight, attacking everything in the shape of a yacht that the tide, wind or chance throws in her way.
