The Prince of Wales to the Harvard Boat’s Crew. Lonpon, Sept. 10, 1869, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has dl- ected Captain Patten Saunders to communicate to the American gentlemen constituting the Harvard University boat's crew his regret at being prevented from paying his personal respects to them, individu- aliy and collectively, during their stay in England, Oaptain Saunders 18 charged to convey also to the Harvards an expression of the admiration of the Prince tor the gallant manner in which they rowed against the Oxford men in the tnternational race of the aith of August, » British Opinion the Contest. Lonpon, Sept. 10, 1860, ‘The London Times to-day has an editorial article yh the regult of the international rowing match. e writer asks if the admission of the coxswain does not counterbalance the weight in the boat. If jot the American system of rowing is the best. He ts that the question was untried, but considers that the Harvards have no advantage over the Ox- fords. With » coxswain they lost in steering; with- out ome thoy would have lost more. He hopes that 4{ the return match is accepted both crews will row im their own fashion, If that course haa been fol- lowed in the late race 1t would have been quite as fair and more instructive. He considers it bard, however, to pick holes in @ race so weil contested and so gallantly won. Will the United States Recognize Cuba t 7 London, Sept. 10, 1809, "Tho London Times to-day tas au article on the subject of Mr. Sickles’ note to the Spanien govern- Went, in which it says:—It is hardly credible that America contemplates the recognition of Cuba. While Spain has little to lose except the island, Owing to the confusing prospect of the war and its Gamaging effects on her commerce and finance, she ‘admits she must ultimately consent to abandon Cuba. ‘The Telegraph has an article on the same subject, saying:— utd erican action with respect to Cuba ta the England was so much blamed for, though uses are not precisely parallel. The Cubans are absolutely without strength, without a civil or military organization and without an established eoreroneat. Itthe Americans vindicate their ac- by the plea that they cannot remain indifferent to the struggles of a triendly people for freedom and lependence, then England in 1861 acted in a man- ‘the Americans now emphatically sanction. ig at the controversy in its broadest view we ebail be displeased to see Aimerica take a step which the practical world would regard asa conspicuous exculpation of England from responsi- piity to America. Will Spain Sell and the United States Buy t— Anglo-French Lntercets. ‘The London News has an article to-day on the Cu- ban question. It says-— ‘The rumor is afloat that the proposed purchase of Ouba by the United States found a powerful friend in the gen administration. It 1s diMfcult to per- ceive, if the rebellion is suppressed in Cuba, how a material change can be effected amid a defiant and gubjugated population, If the rumors have any foundation, these considerations may possibly in- cline this powerful leader to listen favorably to an offer from the United States. Though his advocacy may obtain great force with the other members of the government and the people, the interests of Eng- land and France in the West Indies are scarcely in- ferior to those of the United States, and they wiil Dave their say before the settlement will be regarded a flaal. Cuban Refugees Landed. QUEENSTOWN, Sept, 10, 1869. Thirteen Cuban prisoners recently confined at Fernando Po, and who made their escape, were landed at this port to-day, The Harvest and Trade~The Cotton Supply. Lonpoy, Sept, 10, 1869. John Bright, member of Parliament for Birming- ham, says, in a letter, that the good harvest will tend to restore health to the general trade of the country; and when we have a suficlent supply of cotton, Lancashire will recover from her distressed condition. It is more cotton that we want, and not more taxes on imports. I suspect that the people of Lancashire will not fail to understand this, The London 7imes has another article to-day on the cotton trade and supply. It says:— ‘There was a time when intelligence of a good sup- ly of cotton in the United States would have earried x tory assurance to the manufacturers and ‘work on of Lancashire. The sudden destruction of the old cotton trade has been attended with the destruction of the old canditions, Things are no Songer as they were, Though the cotton supply has come back again, new fields and factories have been opened, some under the shelter of protection, and @ome in a more natural atmosphere, The more ex- tensive demand for the raw material raises the Ay that ee, deprives us of the condition e3- tial to tie superiorjty we once maintained, pL Bhat The Stowe-Byi'on Story.

CUB Further Particulars of the Battle of Tunae—The Defeat of the Spaniards Chivalrous Conduct of the Cubans=Number Killed and Wounded on Both Sides. WAsHinaron, Sept. 10, 1869. Letters from Cuba, via Key West, recetved yester- day give the following account of the battle near Las Tunas:—On the 16th ult. a reconnoitering party was sent out by General Quesada numbering 300 men. On the afternoon of the same day thia force was attacked by largely superior numbers, but suc- ceeded, with a loss of fifty-five in killed, wounded and missing, in regaining the main body. The com- manding general immediately prepared for an attack, which did not take place until the 18th, On the morning of that day General Valmaseda was reported as approaching with a large force of cavalry, artillery and infantry, and preparations were immediately made to receive him. Shortly after sunrise the Spanish forces made their appearance and immediately commenced the fight with artillery, The artillery made but little impression on the Cuban army, when the ihfantry were brought up and & charge upon the Cuban position was ordered. The Cubans reserved their fire until the Spaniards came ‘within range, when the order to fire was given, and it was 80 effective that the Spanish line was thrown into disorder and compelled to fall back under pro- tection of the artillery. After some three hours the attack was renewed by Valmaseda’s entire force, numbering, a8 was reported by deserters, over 4,000 effective men, more than one-half regular troops The Cuban force was about 6,000, of whom 4,000 ‘Were well armed. The contest lasted five hours, when Valmaseda was forced to give way and fall back on his fortifi- cations at Las Tunas. The loss of the Cubans was in killed seventy-two, among them several officers, whose names are not given; wounded severely 107, slightly wounded 150, missing forty-seven; while that of the Spantards is reported in killed and wounded over 600, Two hundred of their dead and wounded were lefton the field. There were nearly 400 deserters and 270 prisoners captured. The deserters report that General Valmaseda had all his available force in this engagement, and had thirty-two pieces of artillery of the most approved character, six of which were 2-pounder rifled Parrott guns, with two regiments of cavalry and six brigades of in- fantry. The Cubans had only thirteen pieces of artillery, of smail calibre, with no effectively equipped cavalry. The result of this battle, which has been the first of importance since the com- mencement of the revolution, causes great rejolc- ing in the Cuban army and among those on the island who sympathize with their movement. A letter from Havana states that the government exercises the most rigid surveilance over the tele- graph and mails, so that nothing 1s permitted to be sent by telegraph giving accounts of military operations excepting that furnished by the govern- ment, Every private despatch passes through the hands of a Spanish official. The same letter says:— The Captain General is in constant dread of the volunteers, and fears they wil drive him out and seize the government and declare the island inde- mdent tof Spain. General Lesca, who has been ere for some time, is known to be in the interest of the volunteers. ‘The outrages increase fearfully, and are of a character too revolting to be believed, Colonel Udalta’s Trial—The Spanish Tactics.

He patd a high tribute to tne memory Of the late Senator Fessenden, long his Cadre nee 1m the Senate of the United States and in the Cabinet. He said his most cherished hope was that the intercourse between the States of the Union would henceforth be conducted with moderation and harmony, and that the foreign relations of the United States would continue to be guided with the dignity and justice required for the advancement of civilization throughout the world. ‘There ia nothing new in the Mayora‘ty imbrogllo.

' NEW YORK H#RALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Nl, 1869—TRIPLE SHEET. _.| WASHINGTOR. Speculations Concerning the Successor- ship of the War Office. Decreased Expenses of the Government. ~ Settlement of the Hudson’s Bay. Company’s Ciaim. WAsnINaTon, Sept. 10, 1869, Plattering Exhibit of Government Expenses. The warrant books of the Treasury Department show that the expenditures of the governwent for the fiscal year just ended were less than $585,000,000 88 against $1,070,060,000 for the year before, and nearly as low as in 1862, the second year of the war. ‘The actual exponses of the military branch of the War Department during the fiscal year previous to the one ending June 30, last, wero $129,000,000: while for that year there were not quite $80,600,000, The Navy Department expenses for the year ending June, 1868, was over $30,000,000; while for the iast fiscal year they reached only about $23,500,000, The expenses of tho Treasury Department, proper, were increased $9,009,000; while those of the Interior Department have gone up from $28,000,000 to $36,000,000, Tho above exhibit will be mado in the forthcoming oMcial report of the Treasurer of the United States, Secretary of War, pro tem. General Sherman was yesterday commissioned Secretary of War, pro tempore, General Rawlins’ Successor in the War Office. There 13 a great deal of speculation as to General Rawlins’ successor in the War Cfice, It 1a stated here now that President Grant ts not in favor of Dodge, of Iowa, and that Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, will be the man. There is some talk of Pennsylvania getting a man in to make up for the loss of old Borie, It is even said that part of the object of the President's proposed visit to Ponnsylvania next week 1s to se- lect @ man for the War Office, Among the names mentioned from the Keystone State are Don Came- ron, son of Senator Cameron; Galusha A. Grow, Mr. McKenna, George H. Stuart, George H. Boker, the Doet, and John Covode. Of those gentlemen it 1s probable that Stuart would be tho choice of the President, if he would take the office, but it will be remembered he refused a similar offer when the Cab- inet was first organized, Next to him Don Cameron is, perhaps, the strongest, There are those who say that the successor of Rawlins will come frcm the West, and that‘he will be a military man. Nothing positive, however, is known with regard to the intentions of the President on thia question, Revenne Officers Defrauding the Government, Supervisor Bloomfleld writes to the Internal Rev- enue Bureay thet tho gaugers of the First district of Ilinois have been detected in a dishonest combina- tion, it geoms they wero {io a habit of garrying from two to four cans under their buggy seats, hold- ing from two to three gallons each, and when called upon to inspect fifty to a hundred barrels of bigh- wines they would draw them off from the cistern, roll them into the warebouse in rows, draw the bungs, find the wine gallons of each, and then take a “thief” or proof glass, about a pint, from each package, which they emptied into a large can or bucket, They then:would take a proof of the wine in éach bucket and mako every package in the lot the same. The winds they called *proof,” which they emptied into their cans afid wre delivered to tho rectifyers, and when they amount {3 @ barrel thoy receive the money at tho market price, Won the assessors of the district learned the facta they a8- sessed the gaugers as liquor dealers and an order ‘was issued to suppress the entire business of proofs, There have been a number of resignations growing out of the exposure. The Army of the Tennessee. Information ts given by Colonel T. M. Day- ton, secretary of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, that General Edward F, Noyes, of Cincinnati, has accepted an in- vitation to deliver the address to the Soctety at its next annual meeting on November 17, at Louis- vule, The selection of General Noyes was made by the late General John A. Rawlins, Presideat of the Society. General Noyes wa3 a distinguished officer of thearmy and lost a leg in the servics, Settlement of the Hudson Bay Company's Claims. The commissioners under tho treaty betwoen the United States and Great Britain of July, 1863, for the settlement of the claims arising out of the Oregon treaty, have been in session some time in this city, deliberating on the claims presented to them, which claims, it is to be noted, amounted to the sum of $4,308,702 in gold for the Hudson Bay Company and $1,168,000 in gold for the Puget Sound Company. They have pronouncea awards in favor of the Hud- son Bay Company of $450,000 and of the Puget Sound Company of $200,098. A, S. Johnson, commissioner on the part of the United States, read an elaborate opinion in support of his views, and the Hon. John Rose, commisstoner on the part of Great Britain, did the same, in the prosence of Caleb Cushing and ©. D. Day, counsel for the two governments re- spectively. It is probable the judgment of the com. missioners will be published at full length. They appear to have differed somewhat in their apprecia- tion of the testimony as to value and to have modified their respective views as to the amount to be awarded rather than incur the hazard of further reference. By this decision a very long controversy, which on several occasions threatened to disturb the amicable relations of the two countries, is brought to a close. The evidence and arguments are very voluminous—upwards of 170 witnesses, resident in all parts of this country and of Europe, having been examined—and the proceedings em- brace 3,500 pages of printed matter. It is considered satisfactory to find that in so complicatea and in so long continned a national dispute the Commissioners of the two governments have been able to accord in opinion. The Hudson Bay Company and the Puget Sound Company are required by the award to re- lease to the United States all the possessory rights belonging to them in Oregon and Washington Terrl- tory which were the subject matter of their respect- ive claims agatnst the United States. Jadicial Appointment. Tho President has appointed James M. Clark to be Judge of the District Court of Rhode Island. French Vice Consal at Baltimore. The President has recognized Julian de Qourt as Vice Consul of France at Baltimore, Departure of Mrs, Rawlins, Mra. General Rawlins and her children left here this evening for Danbury, Conn., accompanied by General Hilyer and Mrs. Hillyer. During the day she visited the residence of General Giles A. Smith, and was shown the room in which her husband died. Her health is very good, considering the fatigue she has undergone in her delicate condition. Nothing has been decided yet as to What will pe done with the remains of General Rawlins, Mrs, Rawlins 1s anxious to have them taken to Danbury and buried there. It is probable, however, that they wiil be taken to Illinois, if the Governor of that State insists upon their removal there. General Rawiins’ old comrades of the -Army of the Tennessee are anxious to have them interred at Oak Ridge, near Springflela, beside the remains of President Lincoln, It is also proposed to erect a monument to his memory, the funds to be contri- buted by the members of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee. It will be some time, however, pe- fore anything is done—probably not before the. re- turn of the President. This morning Clark Mills, the sculptor, proceeded to the Congressional Cemetery, im company with Dr. Bliss, and took 9 plaster cast of the face of General Rawlins, with the intention of making a bust, The operation was entirely success. ful, and the features were not marred by It. The Proposed International Exposition. A large meeting was held to-night for the purpose of considering the subject of holding an interna- tional exposition in Washington in 1371. Many of tho principal business men were present, It was Temarked in tha course of the debate het quch ga exposition would do more than anything cise to silence the ory for a removal of the national capitol, apart from ita world-wide {mportance, The sanction of Congress and of the Executive Department was deemed essential to its success, and there were sug- gestions made with that object. A vote of thanks to Mr. Leon, the originator of the enterprise, waa passed, and a resolution was adopted appointing a committee of fifty gentlemen to co-operate with a similar commiteee recentiy appointed at the City Hal: meeting on the same subject.

Call for a Republican State Convention—A Neat Radical Dodge Exposed. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 1869, The following has been received from Richmond:— For the past fow days the chiefs of the radical party, comprising the State Central Committee, have been in session here endeavoring, as they allege, to devise some means of reorganizing that party. All the prominent members in the State were in attendance, and thia evening Governor Wells aided in their counsels. Their consuitations have at length resulted in a determina- tion to issue a call to the republican big of the State for a convention, to be eld in this city on Wednesday, the 24th of November next In this call those who are honestly in favor of a falthful enforcement of the constitu. tion just adopted will be requested to meet in their several precincts and elect delegates to the conven- tion for the purpose of reorganizing the party on the basis of that constitution. The object, as defined in the call, is to correct the impression at the North that the supporters of Walker in the late election are the true republican party; but actually they desire by political chicanery to demoralize the Waikerites. The real intent and true meaning of this political dodge of the radicals 1s to meet here, make @ spasmodic effort at an expression of the popular will and by ts- suing a flaming address tothe republican party of the United States, setting forth their grievanees, try to influence Congress against the admission of the State tothe Union. It is adiplomatic move of the defeated radical candidates to get up a furore among Northern republicans against the Walker party, which they expeot may in some manner result tavor- ably to them, OHIO.

From the Desbrosses street ferry the President and General Porter procoeded immediately to the residence of Mr. Corbin, where Mrs, Grant and family have remained since thelr departure from Saratoga, The President passed yesterday quietly, and in the afternoon took a drive to the Park. He has not definitely decided whether he will leave this city thisevening and become the guest of ex-Secretary Borie at Philadelphia untt] Monday, or take the train by the Allentown route directly for Harrisburg, thence to La eto ‘The latter is the route most likely to be adopted. The President will then pass Monday night with Senator Cameron at Harrisburg, and Tuesday night at Pittsburg, proceeding thence a day by stage to Washington, Washington county, Mrs. Grant will remain at Washington some days, during which time the President will probablv pay & visit to his father, at Covington, Ky. It is now intended to retarn to the national! capl- tal by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. ‘The Presi- dont in Pennsylvania, until reaching his destination, will be socially the guest of Senator Cameron. The facilities of travel havo been arranged for him by the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, under the direc- tion of Thomas A. Scott, The Executive mansion is now in such a condition as to bo entirely uninhabitable with any degree of comfort or safety. The President has been receiving his ministers and visitors in the library, while General Porter has been using one of the private apartments of the building for his office. The anterooms and offices are completely torn up, and are undergoing a very necessary coating of fresh lime and plaster, 93 wellas a new garbof paint and varnish. The building is exceedingly damp, and consequently un- hea'thy. Directions have been given to make fires in the furnaces in the course of two or three davs and to keep them up until the man-t1on 1s perfectly dry. Itis extremely doubtfal whether the building will be habitable as early as the President anticipates. ‘The change of General Sherman’s appoiatment to tho War Omce from ad interim to one in fact was occasioned by the desire of the President to make up his mind completely as to who shall be the suc- cessor of the late distinguished incumbent. The in- vestment of General Sherman with the full powers of Secretary obviates the possibility of a viola- tion of the law of 1863 or the selection of ®& new member of his Cabinet in un- due haste, The law respecting ad interim appoint- ments limits the duration of such appointments to ten days, The President 18 not likely to make a selection until his return to Washington. It ts un- derstood that the choice will fall upon one who served in the war. The chances of General Dodge do notseem so bright as was originally supposed, All speculations in regard to the person are at present useless, as the President is notin the habit of saying beforehand who he intends to appoint.

Nor. ris, who has bought the schooner yacht Widgeon, of Mr. Phoenix. ‘This adds another schooner to the Atlantic fleet, and, If rumors of other changes are true, this club will in another year be as celebrated for its schooners as it now ts for its sloop yachts. A few public-spirited members of this club have availed themselves of the opportunity offered by the presence of Mr. Homans—one of the former commodores—in Engiand to purchase a library of all the standard works on yacht- ing and its kindred subjects, to form & library for consultation by the members of the club at its club room, in Montague street, Brooklyn.

Saunders, he paying teller of the North National Bank, is a defaulter to the amount of $90,000. His operations have ex- tended over a period of three years, and the money was lost by stock speculations, chiefly in connection with New York parties. His abstraction of the funds of the bank from time to time has most ine penionsl covered up and thus escaped the know- ledge of the officers. Saunders rematns in towm awalting the result of the examination, but the de falcation does not affect the soundness of the bank. Saunders has heretofore borne a good reputation and is respectably connected. He has atamily and resided in Saiem, and served during the r@@pilion im the Fiftieth regiment.
