The Commissioners ought to see that the police force is equal to its duty, and we would also suggest that more caution be exercised as to the class of hack drivers em- ployed in the Park, for if the facts stated con- cerning the outrage of Sunday be true the driver of the carriage must have been an a complice in the crime. The Erie Railway. Tho Atlantic and Great Western Railway Party, now on their way from Europe, are un- derstood to have already opened negotiations for the sale of that property to the Erie Rail- way Company, and some of the details of a proposition looking to that end will be found in our financial article. The advocates of the scheme claim that it will ultimately be advan- tageous to both companies, and the present bad financial condition of the Erie Railway Company makes the opportunity a favorable ene for Mr. McHenry and his friends. The earnings of the Erie Company in the first six | months of the present year fell $397,146 be- low the expenditures during the same time, the receipts having been $6,587,028 and the | Gisbursements $6,984,175, and this affords a telling commentary upon the recent heavy de- ¢line in the stock. ‘In for a penny in for a | pound,” is a proverb upon which the Erie Company is not unlikely to act in its negotia- tions with the Atlantic and Great Western party, and the public will await the Snal result with interest, | A Nortn Pore ALLiaNnce.—It is reported that an alliance has been formed between the United States, Russia and England, with a view to complete, if possible, the discovery of the North Pole.

This royal application will enable Napoleon to change his base, for aid purposes, from Rome to Madrid, should he feel disposed to do so. It will certainly be rather “hard” to go prop up a Bourbon, but the application is so very flattering in itself that it may serve as gilding to the pill. Besideg, the Emperor has been wonderfully successful in his treatment of ‘“‘sick men,” and | tho patient in Rome being stontly convalescent he can scarcely refuse a lady in distress, more particularly a countrywoman of Eugénie. The great physician Bonaparte will be very likely to despatch an “assistant” to Madrid. i} Rererrep TO ADMIRAL FarraGut.—A Paris nowspaper is excited over the fact that the | crew of Admiral Farragut’s flagship cheered “the United States and Russia” during the fecent'visit of the Turkish Cabinet Ministers to the vessel.

We refer the whole matter to Admiral Farra- gut and his men.

Dvscix, Angust 31, 1868, Mr. Mason Jones, the liber: didate for Partia- ment from Queens county, has been obliged to retire from the contest. Reports had been extensively a devoted partisan of Garibaldi, and it was thought that this would prove fatal to the success of the Nberal ticket in that portion of the country. He has | been strongly opposed by the Dublin Nation, which has published these reports and condemned him on | account of his anti-Roman prociivities. | The Dublin Jrishman and the Zrish Times both censure the electors of Queens county for their | bigotry and intolerance as well as their lack of | judgment in thus rendering necessary the with- | drawal of one of Ireland's warmest friends, Sympathy With Fenianism.

FRANCE. The RussoeAmerican Alliance as Seen from Turkey. Panis, August 31, 1868, The Paris Presse, the Austro-Catholic opposition Journal, had an article tn its last issue on the subject of the relatigns of the United States and Russia. The writer recounts the reception of the Turkish Ministers and oMcials on board the flagship of Ad- miral Farragut at Constantinople a few days since, on which occasion the crew of the Franklin cheered enthusiastically for “America and Russia.” The representatives of the other foreign Powers in Constantinople have construed this partiality into a slight of their respective countries. The Presse thinks that the Envoys were fully justified in so [ doing, and wants an explanation. SPAIN. Royal Aid Application to Napoleon. Panis, August 31, 1568. Prince Girgenti, special Envoy from Madrid, arrived to-day and had an interview with the Em- peror.

He contrasted the present time with foriy years ago when he first addressed them here and spoke of the long teri of his service, THe | had endeavored to do his duty. (Applanse.) If sometimes he had ditfered with nis friends or con- stituents it must be attributed to the native obstl- He having formed an opinion was apt to stick to it, aly finding that the good sense and magnanimity of the people will always uphold a man who does his duty to the best of his convictions, (Applause.) He alluded to the dimeulties under which the republican party t assumed the reins of government and defended its course. He wished to speak respect- fulty of the democratic, party. They had spoken very respecifully of him of late, for which he was very much obliged. But, speaking of changes, there was one point in Which He had never changed at all, and that was his opposition to the democratic party. (Applause.) He alluded to the heroic calmness with which the democrats bore our defeats during the war; but slavery was abolished, and, looking to coming generations, he foresaw a glorious result, when we would ‘be a homogeneous people, and labor should be respected as the foundation upon which our government rests, He discussed the national debt, and said the gentlemen who com- plain of it acted with those who compelled its con- traction, It must be paid in the letter and spirit of the contract. He gave the history of the loan bills, saying emphatically no one drefimed of the payment of the principal in anything but gold. He would say what had never before been mentioned tn public. When he went into the Treasury Depart- ment, the day before he took it, a thirty million loan was proposed by Mr. Chase, It was withdrawn, be- cause it could not pe floated. He found a hundred millions of requisitions due and a hundred million more coming in within two or three months, with only forty or fifty millions to meet it. He was forced into the Treasury against his will, He went in be- cause, had he not done so, it would be considered a confession of a want of confidence tn the ability of the government to go on. He was tn the tghtest place he was ever in, except when obliged to vote to acquit the President. He appealed to the people and issued seven-thirties, redeemable in paper, with the privilege of taking the bonds, and through his ayents he promised the people that the principal should be paid In gold. The credit of a great nation must be preserved at all costs, Where should we borrow money if the democratic party succeeds and the prophecies of Blair of another war come true, if we repudiate our promises. We can carry our debt more easily than England, for our resources are greater. The only way of disposing of our debt is to pay it. The only etatesmanlike solution of the problem ts labor and frugality. He gloried in the platforin of the convention which nominated Grant, when they said the debt must be paid in the spirit and letter, and forgave them their endorsement of the thirty-five Senators who voted for conviction, and considered that they thought their conduct needed endorsement, while his did not, (Applause.) He could not too often say preserve the national honor. If any one advises you to repudiate your promises repudiate him, whe- ther he lives tn Ohio or Massachusetts. He spoke at length upon reconstruction, eulogizing Grant as an apie man, of stern integrity, and the meeting broke up with hearty cheers for Fessenden. | re- | | | | THE CHINESE EMBASSY, Visit to the Boston Navy Yard and Bunker Hill Monument, Boston, August 31, 1868, At noon to-day, in company with the Municipai Committee, a portion of the Chinese Embassy left the hotel and proceeded to Long wharf, Here a barge was in readiness, and taking the party on board pushed off for the Navy Yard, Arriving here the distinguished visitors were received by Commo- dore John Rodgers and staff, and as a mark of honor an ambassadorial saiute was fired.

No Cadet Engineers to be Appointed.

Reduction Cire are of Number of Custom Honse Clerks, Areduction in the expenses of the varions Cus- tom Houses has been made since the Ist of Jniy to the extent of a quarter of @ million of doilars, and a still further retrenchment i# in progress. It hag been found that many employ’s have been drawing sajarios without rendering public services, and that their appointment was the resuit of mere favoritism. in Cuba Pare were also objects in which the Chinese took great interest.

At the grounds of the Athletics there must have been at least twenty thousand persons of all age? and sizes, Tie number, of course, includes the crowds whicl lived the house tops, windows and geed standpointta of all descriptions in the neightorhood, Some en- terprising chaps—who shonid timmediately apply for positions a# Philadelphia ‘awyers—had large racks standing on the adjacent streets, and for & qnarter each disposed of the primiege to stand on the truck and enjoy the game, S\orily before two o'clock the rain came down very briskly, and al- thongh it caused senvewhat of a scatter and delayed the game for a time, yet Old Sol shone out again and posiitons were retafem, Colonel Fitzgerald wha chos¢n umpire, and at a little before three o'clock the game was openat by the Athietics at the bat, Smith, of the Atlantics, ws not ut his post, and Kelty—a fine p'ayer—acted as substivuce, The Philadelphians * oltainow a goou' lead by scoring seven in the first | innings, and managed to hold it ali the way through, although the A@ght was very stubborn.

Ve The Champions—*“giants” and “monste’ —com mence again this week practising for the purpose of holding “the whtp.” On the 10th instant will come off the all-important gaine—Union vs. Atlantic—on the Union grounds, Brooklyn, E. D. There is coming up quite a breeze about section six of rule fourth, It is “contended that the addi- tion of the words ‘of it’ following the word ‘striker’ does not aiter the status of the stricken ball.” That may do very well If the rules of the game, under the direction of the National Association, must be taken as the standard for composition, rhetorical construc- tion and clearness. Everybody knows that ‘the striker becomes @ player running the bases as soom as he strikes a fair ball.” The kinky part of section six is. “No player running home at the time the bag isstruck * * * ifthostriker of it isput out.’ T man by whom the ball is struck continues to be the “striker of it,” or the “person who struck it” as long as he lives, The words “of it’? may not alter the status af the ball, but they certainly do alter that of “the striker.” ‘The work “striker”? was always considered a tech- nichal term, and when the “of it’) was put after it the technicality was immediately destroyed. No- body doubts for a moment what is meant by the rule, but “the strict letter” was the harp last year; why notnow? Mr. St John was advised to reverse his decision so that the matter could be properly brought before ‘‘the jury.’ The Unions, of Kingston, do not yet belong to the Association. The Hudsom Rivers, of Newburg, do and Mr. St. John’s Delaware Club does algo. By reversing the decision the Hud- son River Club would become the aggrieved party and can legitimately make a complaint against the Conergy Mr. St. Jolin, and have the question properly settled.

Last evening Melvin Foster and Mons. Rudolphe, the renowned French billiard player, had a retura contest at French carroms, which was one of the most brilliant exhibitions ever seen in New York. Elght games were played between them, of sixty- three pointe each, six of which were won by Foster, who fairly outdid himself in the execution of the most diMcult and indescribable shots, and fully sua- tained the enviable reputation he has long enjoyed as @ skilful player.
