Mr. Keke, (dem.) of Ind., wanted to know on What article Mr. Louguridge would levy the eleven millllous NOW produced by coffee. Ar. LOUGHBINGE, (rep.)

To tus Epiror or THE BeeaLy:— An article appeared in tae New York Tribune yes- terday morning purporting to expose the smuggling operations of Isidor Wolff, Mirtsi May ana others, who have been held by Commissioner Osborn to await the action of the Graud Jury. The article breathes of Custom House creation, and the Tribune Js a very ready tool of that revenue institution when anything vends to its credit, but refuses to publish the sworn testimony of witnesses in a crimi- nai case because the evidence tended to impil- cate some of the officials m that department and cast strong suspicions on the efficiency and good faith of persons employed tnere, who can- noi justify their conduct in nos bringing to the notice of the law ofiicer of the district the criminal evidence against the parties now under $20,000 bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. The Tribune has no doubt a right to suppress—as it in- variably does, and which it notoriously did in the Woilt srauggling case—all and everything re- fiecting on the management of that insti- tution as a matter of favor to the Col- lector; but what I have to say is vouched for by sworn facts and circumstances, and the article yesterday morning im the Trivune is @ piece of pre- sumption on the part of Custom House officials worthy of a betier cause.

Emperor’s Letter to Pio Nono—Tho Bonaparte Crown “Hangs by the Same Thread as the Tiara.” Our newspaper files from Italy by the steamship Donau at this port supplied the complete text of the famous despatch in which the Marquis de Banne- ville, French Minister in Rome, reported to Count Daru, in Paris, the result of his interviews with the Pope and Cardinal Antonelii, when presenting the Emperor's note on the infalliblitty question, The dovument reads as follows:— Roms, March —, 1870, Monsieur Le Co!

THE JERSEY CITY ELECTIONS, The Democratic Convention of the newly constl- tuted City of Jersey met yesterday at the Phila delphia Hotel and made the following nominations:— For Mayor, Crariea H. O’Netll; Water Commission- ers, Noah D, Taylor, Michael Nathan and John C. Hopkins; Police Commissioners, Willlam Taylor, John McCarthy and Samuel A. Besson; School Superintendent, Edwin 0. Chapman; Police Jus- tices, Martin Logan and Michael G. Lennon. The chair Was occupied by Recorder Martindale and M, Mullone waa beneng B The Convention was the most exciting held in “ge City: since 1868. ‘There were four candidates for Mayor—Sidney B. Bevans, B. F. Sawyer, Hosea F. Clark and ©. H. O'Neill. The race was between Bevans and Sawyer, neituer of the others receiving at any time more than fourteen votes out of eight} delegates, The fignt was so stubbornly maintained. toat at the thirteenth paliot Clark was dropped and his supporters allied themseives to the O’Neili man. lludgon City next gave way, and at the eighteeath bailot Mr. O’Netl nad forty-five and Mr. Bevans thirty-four, The successful candidate appeared and delivered a very earnest speech, which was loudly applauded. The lesson to be learned from this cou- vention 1s that while Mr. O'Neil! did not seek the po- altion and was‘not @ candidate, the nomination was teadered to him im recognitien of the honesty and aoility which cimracterized his term of office when he was Mayor a year ago. The election will take place next ‘Tuesday week. ANOTHER CHARTER ! Special Meeting je Stock Exchange. Yesterday afternoon, the Stock Exchange held a special meeting, with closed doors, to take action ‘upon the subject of applying to the State Legtsiatare for acharter and the erection of a new and larger building for the use of the Exchange. Mr. Edward Matthews proposes to erect a building, subject to the approval of the committee, on the site of ground between the present Stock Exchange aud Delmouico’s—the space to be covered being ninety-three feet on Broad and New atreets, whici gives a depth of 153 feet, thegroand and the build- ing together vo cost $1,300,000, and to ne deeded to the board for $1,000,000, The apparent loss of $300,000 to Mr. Matthews, it was estimated, would be more than compensated joy the improvement in his adjoming ‘operty. A vote was taken upon two resolutions covering the propositions to apply to the Legislature for a charter and to erect a new building, but no quorum being present the further consideration of the matter was posiwoned, THE CUBAR LEAGUc.

Lonvon, March 19, 1870. On Thursday, the 17th of March, Mr. Ashbury’s yacbt Cambria was launched from the patent slip of Mr, Kassey, of Cowes, and was taken under the shears off Mr, White’s yard, where her lower masts and bowsprit were put in, The lower masts are bored apars and have been’ fitted with additional iron bands round the mastheads for the purpose of giving greater strength to the fastenings of the main and peak halyard bolts, The bowaprit is steeved about six inches higher than it was last year, and this gives her hea@ knee, at the best of times mot very handsome, @ very ugly appearance. Her lower rigging 1s over the masthead and 1s partially set up. The Cambria now lays close to Mr. Bennett’s yacht Dauntless, and every unprejudiced person must admit that the Dauntless looks superior to the Eng- lish yacht in et ble particular. The really beautiful ‘spare of tie Dauntioes compare most fav- orably with the straight masts of the Cumorla, and the faultless tines of former will bear compari- son with the somewnat doubtful ones of the latter. e ho was docked in the Medina dock on ‘Thu Tast, there to undergo the #o-calied exten- ons alluded to by the English press, rations consist in her being caked, cop- pered and painted. Thus the only real alteration that will take piace will be an alteration in her color; she went into dock white and will come out black. At Cowes, it ts said, everything Is to be fitted Bnglish jashion; that she has to be altered by Mr. Waite, an Buglish butider, to be manned by an Eng- lish crew, and to besatied by an Engitsh satling master; bat the only portion of truth 11 this state.
