Considerable interest was manifested to-day as to the course which gold would take under the tele- grams from Europe prophesying the contingency of an outbreak in France on the advent of October 26, ‘Whatever expectations were founded on tuis antic pation of trouble were doomed to disappointment, the market having been seldom more quiet. The Price of gola was steady all day at 190%¢ 9 130%. ‘The absence of @ clearing house checked whatever speculation miglt have been engendered by these eable despatches, and the feeling for @ rise received the additional dampening influence of the generons offer of the Treasury to cash alt November coupons without rebate as soon aa presented. Hoklers of coupons took advantage of shis offer and sent in over a million anda half dol- Jars’ worth of coupons to the Sub-Treasury in this eity. The cable despatches repore everything qnics to-day in France. There was no disposition to buy Jor apeculation. Indeed, the foreign bankers who are the most promptto interpret signs of diMoulty abroad have bean confident from the advance and Srmness of French rentes that the extent of the an- troubie was greatly magnified, Some @oubt having existed as to the Dighest point touched wm the recent gold “corner,” the matter ts at length pet at rest by the testiniony of a broker, who avers that upon the erder of a customer bid 166 for three hundred thousand dollars on that memorable Friday. It will be remembered that the Heratp at the time gave the avove figure as the highest quo- tation of the day, although the press otherwise were Baanimous in fixing 1 at 16234. General Butterfield continues to discharge the @uties of Assistant Treasurer pending the action of the government at Washington upon his resignation. ‘1g the meantime 1t is reported that the position haa Deen offered to Jacob D, Vermilye, President of the Merchants’ Bank, who deciiped it Among the ames mentioned for General Butterfleld’s successor are those of Calvin ©. Huripad, Superintendent of the new Post Office, and State Senator Cuarles T. Folger. The iatter is said to have positively rofased toallow the use of his name, however. The friends Of ex-Assistant Treasurer H. H. Van Dyck aro also pressing nis claims for reappointment, while a new man is atrongty preased, in the person of Jacob. Kus- well, who was chief clerk of the Sub-Treasury for peveral administrations. ‘The receiver of the Gold Exchange Bank gives notice that he will, on and afier to-morrow, pay the fourth instalment of twenty-five per cent on all adjusted claims, thus liquidating the whole indebt- edness of the institution on accounts not in dispute, ‘The money warket was easy at five to six per cent en call, with pledge of government and miscel- Janeous collaterals.

Capt, Smith, of the Forty-second precinct, becomin, pr aia of the raid, proceeded with Sergeant Cr and several officers to the locality in order to pre- venta riot. Squads of patrolmen were also sent from the Forty-irst precinct, under Captain Jacobs, aad from the Forty-iourth precimet, under Captain Powers, Tbe police did good service in keeping the crowds of men, women and cliiidren back while the internal revenue officers selzed the sills. For two or three hours the whiskey flowed freely dowg the aijley- Way, and the fumes could be smeiied a block dis- tant, There were several copper still#, mash tubs and other apparatus torn out and carted to the Navy Yard, where a guard of marines was placed over them.

Newark, One or PRTER MBAD'S VICTIMS IN A BAD FIX. — Yesterday in the Police Court Archibaia Todd was arraigned on a charge of stealing a watch from a fireman named Joseph H. Smith and committed for trial, The unfortunate man had already been se- verely punished by the flremen, who beat him about the head and face shamefully. On his person atnong other articles was {ound a Paverson fireman's badge and an order froin the Paymaster General at Wash- ington stating that ais claim lor $100 had been paid to his agent, Peter Mead. A VEXED QUESTION SETTLED,—Ia accordance with legislative authority a company to construct a horse car raiiroad between Newark and Elizabeth city was formed some year or 80 ago in the latter place and the road commenced. It had nearly reached the Newark city line, when suddenly certain padiic spirited phiianthropista, owning handsome resi- dences on Broad street, through which thoroughfare the pew road was to run for a@ block or 80, arose in arms and biteriy opposed further progress, It was claimed that the beauty of Broad street would be destroyed. The value of this argument may be properly estimated when it is stated that aiready there are two or three lines of horse cars on this avenue. In addition the company wanted to run te same width track shrongh Newark that was used in Piizabeth—four inches narrower. The matter stood in statu quo until the evening before last, when at a special meeting of the Common Council an inance asved to s third reading granting authority to ran rough a route which avoids the block or 80 on Broad street. ‘The track in this city will be laid the same size as those tn use here as far as Waverley, where @ change of cars will take place, Essex Oounty OYER AND TERMINER—THE SvoKes-McQUIRK AND S?TRossfu-Knorr MAN.

A Tramp from Paterson to Hoboken, Sixteen Miles, in Two Hours and Twenty-two and a Half Minutes. About half-past nine yesterday morning David Cahill, of Paterson, started to walk to Washington street, Hoboken, a distance of about sixteen miles, in two hours and thirty minutes. The match was impromptu, and resuited from a bet, There was no tratning whatever, except a walk of about four miies on Sunday. Cahill keeps an oyster saloon and bar, and has stood behind the bar for yéars. That he should be successful noder the circumstances proves, at least, a wonderful bottom to the Walkst. The feat was accomplished seven and & balf ntnuves within the specified time, Cahill com- pleting the distance In 2h, 22m, 308, An immense sum was at stake, most of it at long odds against Canill’s performance of the feat. 1t ts said over $4,000 was at stake in Paterson and about $1,600 in Passaic village. ‘The average time made per mile was a trifle less than nine minutes. Whon half way over the course the walker was obliged to take of his shoee on account of the slippery mud on the road across the meadows. They were again donned when the objectionable und was over, ‘The toughest part of the route to the pedestrian was Bergen Hill; but what was lost here was made u going down on the last side, which Cahill did a! splendid speed. The event was the cause of much speculation and interest in Paterson; .and the t ing fraternity are now so excited upon the sul that another match is already spoken of. WESTCHESTER COUNTY. BURGLARY AT MOUNT VERNON.—At @ late hour on Monday night or early yesterday morning some par- ties effected a forcible entrance into the store of Wiliam P. Sleight, on Fourth avenue, Mount Ver- hon, and operated in such & manner as to demon- strate their title to being “professionals.” A safe was dragged from the ofice to the rear yi where gunpowder was aged effectually in blowing the door off. The perpetrators, however, were barely compensated ior the enterprise, as the safe contained only a few dollars in money, which they, of course, appropriated. TiLt-TArPIng EXTRAORDINARY.—A young man of respectable appearance, who gave his name as Wil- liam H. Hunter, and who stated that he wasadry goods clerk by occupation, wi brought before Justice Hauptman, at Morrisania, yesterday, to answer a charge of till-tapping. The ac- cused, it seems, went into Hammer's fotel, on the Boston road, and, finding no one present, was in the act of pocketing the contents of the money drawer, when he was observed by the wife of the proprietor, who at once caused nis rest. On being detected Hunter threw the mo amounting to about four dollars, on the floor. Ha' ig pleaded guilty and urged destitution as an ex- cuse, he was committed to the county jail sor thirty days. AFRICA, ingstone’s Safety and Explorations, [From the London Globe, Oct. 15.) Dr. Livingstone 18 not ouly safe, but, according to a letter just received by Dr. Kirk at Bombay, he has discovered the object of his arduous explorations, ication was dated Banglewo, July nd runs as follows:—“l haye found what eto be the source of the Nile, between 10 degrees and 12 degrees south.”” More recent news by curavan announces the arrival of the voteran geographer at Miyi, and as the road from Miylt to The coast is safe, there is good prospect of Dr. Liv- ingstone’s speedy return to the abodes of civilized men apd tne society of his friends, Suppose ing the report to be correct, we may now assume thas the eulgma of geograph cal and phystcal sctence has been goived.
