"EUROPE. Kusin Opiuion of the War News from Metz. Moscow Agitated for War—First Symptoms of National Repuciation of England. { Bnglish Opinion of the American | Biectiozs. By the European mail at this port we have the following interesting reports of attairs in the Old World dated to the 12th of November, RUSSIA. War News from Metz Moscow—Prussiao “Rapacity” Devounced—Imperialism Alarm- ed and in Preparation tor War—A Pan- Slavonic Protectorate—Not Strong Enough to Enforce It—Tarkey Alarmed and England Cautions. {Moscow (Nov. 4) correspondence of London Post.) Two subjects at present engross the attention of the Russian public—the capitulation of Metz and the reported disposition of England to come for- ‘ward a3 a mediator. The former occurrence ap- pears to have been wholly unlooked-for by the majority, and has come upon them with all the violence of an unexpected shock. The rate of exchange has risen again as suddenly as it fell; | speculation 1s once more rife in every quarter, and the prospect of peace—hitnerto so dim and distant— seems to be regarded as a /ait accompli by the quidnuncs of the metropolis, But all this, as might be expected, so far trom soothing the ap- prehensions of the Russian press, serves only to excite them toa higher pitch, The Moscow News of to-day, at the close of a vehement Genunciation af Prussian rapacity, quotes the saying of a German statesman, that “‘all true Germans must consider themselves in duty bound to aid in delivering and restoring to the right path their politically benighted brethren,” and adds, pointedly enough, “Jn this sen- tence Russians nay read the doom which awaits their foreign possessions.” But it is not merely in idle growls like these that the present temper of Russia manifests itself, lron- clad ships are being built, “strategic” railways con- structed, breecti-luading rifles served out, new artil- ery tested and reported upon. The coucentration | of troops, which has so long been @ mere alarming om du, 1s rapidiy becoming a gravely significant fact; and in such a state of affairs the command just issued, at the instance of the heir apparent, for the collection of all memoriais and par- ticulars of the siege of Sebastopol (the best imaginable stimuijus to the wariike spirit of tae nation) is certainly a singwar, theugh probably a _fortuitous, coimcidence. From certain symp- toms which have recently made their appear- ance I sheuld be disposed to conjecure that Russia has still a hankering alter her old scheme of | @ Pan-Slavonic protectorate, and that her frst step (Were she stroog enough to eniorce such a proceed- ) would be arenewel of the demands which dis- ¥ jeted the Porte im 1852. The best guarantee of jurope against such an attempt, as I have already said, is that according to all rules of sover caleula- ton, Russia is not strong eneugh to enforce it at present. It is true that a powerful empire will often cousult Its passions rather than its interesta, but such an error is hardiy provable in the present case. Tho Gisposition of the Emperor himself ts the very reverse ol aggressive, and the majority of his ad- Visers are men Of sutiicient experience to estimate fairly wie Chances of success or failure, especially with such a possibility as that wich I mentioned in my last letter threatening them on the side of | Poland, However this may be, it 18 sufficiently certain that the apprehensions of Turkey are strongly excited, Private letiers from Constantinople inform me that the designs of Kussia are now Lhe uppermost topic with the public of the metropolis, and that the pre- parations for war to which | have already referred are being carried forward as vigorously as ever. The sudden commencement of so many railways throughout the Danubian Principalities is a fact which speaks volumes m itself, and shows that Turkey has righwy divined what her powerfal neighbor would do if she could, My iirst news on reaching Cairo iast August was that strong detacit- mente of soldiers were about to be despatched thence to Turkey; my first news both at Varna and Galatz, a few weeks later, was that the last three or ‘four steamers had brought several hundred soldiers a piece. Sileutly but sarely the work of preparation is going on. And, in truth, 1t is not strange that Turkey should trembie tor her principaiiues, or that Russta snould think that dn taking them she is but reclaiming her own. Even now, after fourteen year’s under the rule of the Sul- tan, the traces of Miscovite dominiou on the Lower Danube are neither few nor far between, The sal- low, beetie-vrewed Moldavian, in his long, gray smock frock and lcavy boots, is merely a second hand copy of the Russian mujik. The Roumanian village has its counterpart m every bend of the Upper Volga. Aloug the outskirts of every town, irom Ibraila to Sulina, one may observe the same rows of singie wooden crosses which line the grave- yards of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Still, along the now Turkish Danube, green domes and gilded cupolas look down upon the straight, wide streets that greet you im every province irom the the Ural; and im Sulina, in T , in Gi Tbratia, still stands + open market luce, with It: lines of booths, which forms tue of every Russian town from Archangel to Sebastopol. ki With regard to the see of public inter- eat—the rumor of a possible mediatlon on the part of Engiand—the omniscieat press has already said ita Say, coutradicting itself Without seraple in the ex: | pression of its oplut it 18 Well worth while, if only as @ specunen of Russian journalistic con- | sistency, to quote verbatim. two paragraphs wuich have appeared within a few weeks of each other in one of the leading St. Petersburg papers, tus: ‘The policy of Enginnd i nowadays os c formerly. ising.

THE COURTS. the pepulation. The higher classes compose nearly three per cent of the 60,000,000 European subjects of the Ozar, Or nearly half the number of the total urban population, What, it may be asked, are these compared with the 43,000,000 of the rural classes? Were these all engaged m husbandry alone, manufacturing industry would appear to have asorry chauce. But, in truth, i is the power of Russia Ww Cugage ab give such large numbers ln pro. ductive idustry which constitutes her first mur terial source Of streugih; while the habits of tue Russian peasant—wh» has been aptly deseribed by Mr, Michell as * at the same time, imore or jess, chanic, a manufacturer, &@ wader and a ja for “hire’’—javor industrial operations through the leug months during which agri- cultural work is in suspense, Moreover, we are told that “in thirteen ef the centval provinces of Russia, Where the soil is less iavorable to the development of husbandry, tue population 1s very extensively cngaged In indusivtai pursuits The Manulaciories spread over the country, bat found mostly ia te provinces of Wiadimir, Moscow, St. Petersburg und Jaroslay, give empioymeat to about 000 workmen, Nearly all the villages in the latter province are interesied more or less directly in the development of manufacturing ind Thousands of hands are employed in the Vile jages of Wladinur in spinning and weaving cotton, while entire Village communities aevoce Uiemselves vo some particular branch of industry, Souie Vile lages produce hardware, others cutlery; wooden boxes will be made 10 one commune, Loots and shoes in another. ‘The exclusively manufacturing Classes, ever, are not numerous in Russia, though they are increasing. In the chiet of these iudustries there is understood to be little more than three-quarters of a million of per- sons actually engaged, unless the census taker this year adds to tse number, Cotton and iron are the principal branches, wool and silk being much neglected, to the alvantage of foreign manufac- turers. On the over hand, rural culerpeime extends very generally througd the inasses of the people and has raised the Russian peasaul WO the position he now occupies, however dangerous this may be to the future of the empire. It appears from Mr, Micheli’s recent report to the Foreign Onice that there are 23,000,000 peasant proprictors in Russi and that while the janded nobility and gentry an the merchants Who dave purchased lands since 1x61 form a class of landholders numbering a litte ever ,000 (eXetusive O: Uieir families) and hoiding ene- hh of the total area of land capable of being cultl- vated in Russia = =proper, the — peasantry of Russia numbering about 48,000,000 of both sexes, and formerly known as serfs, crown peasanis and appanage peasants, NOW occupy, Un- der a variety of deuomimations aud forms of tenure, another (fin cf the area of cultivable lands. the agricuitural element, however, is diminishing, and itis sald that a consideravie proportion of th: in- habitants Of Villages aave for sou urs past ceased to be agri ullurists, although they are stul officially ategory. The Kussian govern- ment, indeed, enco rages this movement by the un- position of a protective tari on manufactures. Some new fieid 0} employment was mdeed requisite, the old Russian wade is passing into other Australia and Ani are riva s of Russia in wool production; an =m the nine rs since the emancipation of the Russian seris the cattie ke t by the Kussian peasaatry has beeu reduced by oae-half, the tallow exported unnually being . carcely a Guid of (at Six years ago. Russian trade on the whole has been flourtsutng during the Jast Jew vears, and it is still depressed. Jt appears from a report by Mr. Horace Rumbold that the exports in tie first Quarter of the present year showed no lmprovement over those ior 186% But the tmports in 1869, in some cases, rose as much as filty per cent, and only seven cut of wwe twenty-five principal kinds of commedities im- porte! showed any decrease, Of these latter the most striking is the decrease in the importation of sugar. Frou 7,000, 00 roubles tn 1566 it has latteriy fallen to 800,000 roubles, thus proving the great ex- tension of the nauve beet root sugar idustry. The importation of Canton tea increased eleven percent. Wine in casks advanced ten per cent, While champagne has even increased fourteen per cent, notwithstanding the heavy duty to which it is importation of sait rese ten per cent, and raw cotton, now admitted free, was lmported to the amount Of ene-quarter more than in 1s63. Cot ton yarns and cotton goods, the duties on which were readjusted and partly modified by the new lari, show an advance of eighieen per cent and forty-seven per cent respectively. ‘Yobacco in the leaf rose fifty-two per cent, while linen goods, though now more lightiy iaxed, fel! off by a third, “Society in ail its gradations appears to have gone mad on raliway enterprise’’ in Kussia, observes Mr. Ruaabold in a special report on the subject, though he pots oat considerable method in that modaess. ‘The Russian raiiroads avaiaole for traitic jast year measured over 6,500 versts, more than four- fifths of them having been laid down within the last ten years.

FRENCH REVOLUTION IN AL- GERIA. Oficial Message irom Oran—Resistance aud a Street Fight. A letter from Algiers, dated October 29, to the Messager du Mui, says:— The state of affairs yesterday in this city was very Serious, and threaiens to become worse. In the morning ¢verything was quiet, and the inhabitanis Were delighted by a despatch wiich had arrived Qunouncing that Marshal Bazaine had captured Prince Frederick Carles under the walls of Metz. Every one was discussing the news and r ling that the telegram was uot thoroughly oi Al, when suddenly the drums of the Nauonal Guard were heard beating to arms, while the cavalry trumpets gave a similar sigual. Immectately every One assembied, the shops were closed, aud the population threnged the great square. It soon transpired that a quarrel had ariscn between a stat oiticer, an aide-de-camp of General Vaisin Ester- hazy (who had arrived on the previous evening from Oran to assume tle oifice of interim governor general) and an tahabitant of the town, A blow had been struck, @ decoration torn of, &c.

An at- tempt was made to force the resideuce of the Gov- ernor General, ‘The crowd teanwhile incre: M. Vuiliimoz,’ Mayor of Algiers, proceeded to Gov. ernment House to demand that the guard of honor should be furnished by ihe National Guard, The General refused, Jaring that as a soldier he must give the preierence to the regular troops, but offered Vo divide the honor between the two. This answer did not satisfy Ube people. A great tumult arose, which increased every minuie, und the.General, i consequence of the de- monstration, resigned his post.

PRY ¥RANCE AND POLAND. Aa a specimen of the harsh manner in which every act and werd of the new French government is judged by its German opponents, we may cite the subjoined comments of the Berlin press upon the efort that Gambetia and his colleagues have made not to be complicated with other Powers:— It ts well known that the French have always sup- ported the revolutionary iovements of the Poles against Russia, and what claim France wude to a rigut to intericre in Polish matters, When she Was at the heighth of her power, during the insurrection Now, however, that she ‘ast down, France practices the virtue of modesty, Thas, the “airte 18 1 a position tw announce that the gouvernement de la défense na- tona/e has retused tho assistance of a Polish legion, in order not to encourage claims which it Goes not desire to support.

Views of the Result—-Work of the New Congress. {From the London Post, Nov. 11.) If the results of the elections heid in the United States on Tuesday last are to be accepied as indica- tive of the state of public feeling a very marked change hus taken place within the past two years in the position of the two great political parties in the republic. Until the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, exactly ten years ago, the democrats nd even hot to ther own Engli their defeat was due, imherent weakness, but to their tmabiiity to agree in the choice of a candidate.

Nor was this very surprising, On the outbreak of the crvil war Ute sae line Which separated the hostile camps equally divided the two poiltival factions; the democrats, wherever resident, Whether in the | North or South, ording all their sympathy to the mideracy.

PALACES ON THE RAILS, The New Erie Conches—Elegance aud Com- fort Benind the [ron Horse. ‘There were exhibited at the Jersey City depot yes- terday two of the newly constructed palace coaches for the Erie Railroad, They are called ‘The Morning Star? and “The Svening Star,” respectively, and are the first of twenty that are to be made. ‘This in- creased number has been ordered to facilitate the through travel to Cincinnati, Louisville and other points South. A large number of invited guests ispected the novel and handsome cars through- out the day. In pomt of elegance, ease and juxurious accommodation in every respect, they cerainly mertied all the admtration bestowea upon them. All the defects that mark the ordinary sleep- ing and drawing room cars have been avoided in thelr construction, while they are roomy and are Jurnished with every comfortable apparatus. Both are built alike, each containing sleeping berths and seats for forty-eight persons. The interior of the cars is constructed of walnut, the panel paintings bélng very appropriate in design and beautifully executed. One excellent feature is the entire absence of narrowness, either in the seats or berths. They are,, moreover, airy and cheerful looking. Each car carries its own gas, which 1s supplied from @ tank beneath. The gaso- line is saturated m a prepared sponge an¢ forced up by the alr, and makes a good and sate light. The ES of the vehicles 1s tasteful and com: ach car is fity-six feet long and eleven wide. Mr. Wm. R.

The cost of each 18 estimated at $20,000. ‘The Morn- ing Star” will make its first trip to Cincinnaul on Monday next. DRUNK TO DEATH. Terrible Warning—A Boy Killed by Drink- ing Whiskey. Thejdeath or John Geraghty, ulad fifteen years of age, at 143 East Thirty-second street, was reported at the Coroner's office on Friday. It was supposed that his death was the result of injuries recetved by a fall; but an offictal investigation shows such not to be case. On Friday morning Geraghty and two other lads, named Patrick Smith and Thomas Shannon, followed in the wake of @ target company, and stopped in front ofa grogaery in Thirty-third street, near First ave- nue, While members of the company were retresh- ing themselves at the bar it 1s alleged that Geraghty, Smith and Shannon clandestinely entered the pre- mises, and, taking a position on the floor with their upturned mouths under the faucet of a whiskey cask, in turn drapk to excess of the bad liquor without being detected. The boys then retreate the street and m a sew moments afterwards Ge- raghty was reduced lo a state of utter helpless- ness. His companions, who were in a little better condition, placed him in an empty wagon with the view of permitting him to sleep off the effects of the liquor; but, as he vornited and had convulsions, they became alarmed, and with much difficulty took him home, where the parents of the sutierer immediately procured medical atd. Jolin, however, grew rapidly worse, and died in a little over an hour after swallowing the poison. Coroner Rollins was subsequently cailed, and yesterday John Beach, M. D., made a post-mortem examination on the body of the unfortunate youth, which showed conclusively that congestion of the brain, caused by drinking to excess of alcoholic liquors, was the cause of death, and such was the verdict of the jury. “A “SHARE” ON THE PERS. On Tuesday last some ladies stopped thelr carriage near pier No. 5 North river to see one of their nun ber off in the steamer James Adger, for Charleston, One of the party—not the one going—had with her @ valise containing some articles,) which they de- cided to leave in the carriage.

A moment after they h left, in fact while they were In sight, he returned and stated that the ‘lady dressed in black” haa re- uested that ne should bring her the valise.

SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, The Motion to Stay Judgment Aga’ the Soldiers? Messenger Associntion—Important Docini Before Judge Brady, Alien vs, The Soldtei's’ Business Messenger and Despatch Company.—The decision in this case, which has been for a long time ia litigation, was ren- dered yesierday morning. Assuming, says bis Honor, that by the thirty-seventh section of the Bankrupt law the genera! provisions of the act are made ap- Pplicaple to corporations, nevertheless it ts expressly declared that no ailowauce or discharge i be granted to any corporation or joimt stock company, or to any person or officer or member thereol, and thus establishes a distinction between Penne and curporators and members thereof, It has been held that section twenty-one, declaring that no creditor proving ois debt or claim shall be allowed to maintain any suit atlaw or in eauity therefor a inst the bankrupt, appies only tv a debe which will be discharged, After quotiig various authorities on this potat he proceeds to show that the proof of a debt against a@ corporation does not, per se, permit the continuance of an action against it, inasmuch as It cannot be discharged under the Bankrupt law, and wore particularly where a judg- nent against it 13 necessary to perfect # legai reme- dy, ‘The creditor has a right to ali the property of the corporation, which 1s all they acquire by bunk- ruptcy, and the provision in the law declaring that itshall not be discharged 1s based upon that pro- ae and the ulterior remedy which the stock- holders may have predicated of Lue personal respon- sibility of its stockholders, oMcers or mem ers, and which would be destroyed if the remaiaing debt it- sclf were discharged, The efect of granting a stay upon the judgment against a corporation before execution returned or setting aside an execution issued = thereon, the — stock- holders of which are personally respou- sible, will be to discarge a person or officer or member thereof, where such itability must be predicated of such judgment and of such execation returned unsatisfied, aid thus te Indirectly accom- plish what the Bankrupt law hus deciured still not beattained. The defendants were incorporated by an act of the Legislature in 1807, and by the eighth section the stockholders are made liable for the debts of the company, but not until afier judgment and an execution returned unsatisiiea tn whole or in part against the corporation.

In the Matter of the Centrat Bank of Brookiyn, Bankrupt Corporation.—Judge Benedict yesterday rendered the jollowing decision in this case:— in this proceeding no choice of assignee having been made by the creditors at the election held ac- cording to law, the duty of appointing an assignee devolves upon me. J um irst to pass upon a peu- tion of certain creditors of this bank, who pray that an order pe made directing a new election to be Lhave duly considered the petition in ques- tion, and the suggestions of counsel in support of it, and I am satistled that the interests of the creditors will not be advanced by ordering a new election. At the election already held but filty out of one hundred and seventy-three creditors who Rave proved their devts attended to vote, and the law requires a majority in numbers as weil as in amount to concur in the choice of an assignee. ‘Those creditors who did atteud did not agree, wiile attached to the petition in question are but fi names, representing some $14,000 in amount, the petition 13 not supported by the names of any of the creditors Who «id attend at the elecuon. There 13. therefore, ho reason to suppose that if a new elec- tion was ordered a@ choice would be affecied, while additional delay aud expense would be caused there- by. The prayer of the petition must therefore be de- nied, As to the appoinunent of assignee which the law makes 1t my duty now to make, | may properly state that I do not designate either of the persons who were opposing candidates at the meeting of the creditors; net because either of them would not be a proper assignee, bui because it seems to me better, in view of the circumstances of the case, to seiect some third persou, also competent and enutled to confidence, Who was not counected with the contro- versy before the Register, I therefore appoint Silas B. Duteher, of the city of Brooklyn, to be such as- signee, Who must give a good and suiticient bond uc cording to law for the faitnful periormance and dis- charge of his duties. Upon the facts before ine 1 am unable to determine what should be the amount 0: such bond, which I intend shali be ample to protect the fund from ail possibility of loss, It is therefore referred to the Register in charge of the proces to ascertain the proper amount of such security, having regard to the amount of money likely to be realized from the assets, and to take irom the assignee @ bond in such amouni in the form required by law, with liberty te auy creditor to move for an imcrease of such amount if so ad- vised, or to object to the sufilciency of the sureties. In respect to moneys which may be collected by the assignee the same order will be mace in this as in other cases in bankruptcy, and the assignee will, aS soun a8 may be alter receiving any money ve- longing to the estate, deposit tne same in the National City Bank in his name as assignee, CITY cOUAT.

Jonn P, Rolfe and Others vs, the Water and Sewerage Board.—The plaintiffs brought suit to re- strain the Buard from entering into any contract for or authorizing the repaving of Lafayette avenue with the Nicolson pavement. They alleged that a petition, on which the Board were about to con- tract for such pavement, had not be signed by a plurality of the bona jie pro) ¥ owners on the avenue; that nincty-four of the per- sons so signing were tie pretended grantees of one lot, a conveyance fraudulently being made to enabie them to join in the petition, and that without those ninety-four names the petition had not a plurality. Judge Netison yesterday rendered his decision in ihe case (Which has already been re- ported in the Heratp), and held that the case presented by plaintiffs in bringing this ‘ ntitled them to the preiuninary injunction, and in the decree ine defendants were to be perpetually enjemed trom making any contract or proceeding under that fraudulent petiuon, Judg- ment was entered without costs to either party as against the other, Notice to the Bar.

The Mission of the Cunacuna Indiang to the Colombian Capital. ne Rumors That They Possess Knowledge of ag Ea:y Route from the Carribean Ben to the Pacific Ocean—Thoir Business in Bogota a Mystery. COLONBIA. PANAMA, Nov. 11, 1870, The United States of Colombia seem to be moving along quictly and steadily. ‘The only signs of uneasiness visible within their boundaries ia among the Darien Indians, or ratner a@ tribe of them called the Qunacunas, who tiva on the banks of the Atrato river, and within the limits of the State of QOsuca, Four of these InJians lately arrived at Popayan, and stated that they were on their way to Bogota, the capital, to enter a complaint there to the generai government against the United states expluring expedition which surveyed the Darien tn the early part of this year, Whatthe nature of their griev- ances is they appeared very unwilling w make Known, but it was allowed to transpire that somo of the members of the expedition had not respected the women and property of the tribe; and that these four had been Commissioned by their chiefs to lay the matter before the government of the Untox. The Municipal authorities of the wwns throug Which the Commission passed had apprised the authorities at Bogota of thetr coming. The latest advices from the capital say they had not yet arrived there. Tne Jlustracton, of , in an article on this subject, says the belief is tat taese Indiuns are seat by their chiefs chargea with some secret 1n relation to an easy route for the excavation of an unteroceanic canal, known only to themselves, and which they probably wish to communicate to the government. At all events, the afuir is quik @ mystery, a8 well as of considerable interest in view of the renewal of the survey near the rexton where these ludians live, by the United States exploring expedition next dry season, The Los Principios, & paper published in the State of Cauca, hopes the re- port wil tarn out true that the Darien Indians bring with them the ‘secret of the canal by which the Colombian government will be uble Lo Cconsiruct iG without foreign aid.” A brilliant idea, decidedly. Dulness=An Unfortunate Qnuarrel—Water aad Cas—Complaints=Troubles with the ladiaus ju Darien—The Maiis. PANAMA, Nov. 17, 1870, in Panama, | am sorry to say, there is no revival, either 1 religion, trade or politics, The new Bishop of Panama, Dr. Antonto Ignatius Parra, ts expected here soon to take charge of his dock. He is highiy spoken of for talent and vurtue, qualities of which few of the Roman Cathohe ciergy lere can boast. Ail unfortunate quarrel took place the other day in San Juan de Dios street, tn this city, between two young gentlemen, Mr. Ricardo Arango and Mr, Modesta Arze, connections of the best famt- lies in Panama. It seems that for some time past an ill-fecling had existed between the two gentiemen, which arose out of some gossip or scandal Which bad quite iately been revived. On the 5t instant Mr. Arango met Mr. Arze in a store on the street above named, struck him with his umbrella, and immediately after drew a pistol and shot bin in the breast. Mr. Arze died of the wound about twenty- four hours after. Mr. Arango disappeared soon after committing the crime and has not since been heard of. The affair has caused great aMiction to the tamilies of the young men, as weli as regret throughout the city. Mr. Arango was engaged Wo a. young lady, a native of this city, and his marriage Pe vo have been ceiebrated on the morutug of te, th. = eet We have all been in high hopes here of having Panama supplied with good water, aud were already luxuriating in the idea of fountalus, baths, exemp- tion from ‘destructive confagrations, &c., bat our hopes were doomed to disappointment. At the earnest solicitation of President Correoso, Mr. A. J. Center, of New York, tormerly superintendent of the Panama Railroad, caine to Panaiua tor the pur- pose of negotiating a contract for the supplying of the city with potable water. Mr. Center made out his plans, eatimates, &c., the government to guaran- tee seven per cent per annum on the capital tu- vested, and everything was helieved to have been satisfactory arranged between Mr. Center and the Executive, It turued out, however, that the President could not think of — estabilsn- ing a water tax, and finally that some Frenchman had come along who offered to give water at a cheaper rate by means of artesian wells. After walting a reasonable tiine Lo see if tne Prest- dent would take a common sense view of the matter Mr, Center left tor New York in diagust. Indeed, unless the government soon chauges its modus ove: rand, we are hkely to be without gus as weil as water. Although the gas works have been in operation only eight months the compauy are be- guiming to complain bitterly of not betug able tu collect their quarterly accounts from the govern- ment. Of course, uniess the accounts are soon paid the supply of gas for public use will be cut om, The question arises naturally, what becomes of the enor- mous taxes levied on Our comumunity, and why are not the gas bills paid? Some trouble has arisen between the caoutchou gatherers and the Indians in Darien. A fight is re- ported to have taken place, In which several Indiaua were killed, A large qnantty of india rabber is col- lected about the banks of the Chucunaque river and brought to Panama for sale. The Indians now com- plain that the collectors of this useful gum are in- truding on their lands. The matter has been officially reported to the government of this State, but itis uot Known that any sieps have been taken to adjust the quarrel or prevent forther evti. ‘The penitentiary at Bogota contained 403 persons atthe end of September iast. The State of Santan- der is anxious o have immigrants, and has dedi- cated a large territory to promote the s There has been a great religious revival in the capl- tal of the State of Tolima, at which 2,500 persons coniessed and forty couples were married. ‘The steamer from Central America, due here on the 15tn inst., is not expected to arrive before the 19th or 20th, as she was four days bebind in leaving here on her last trip up the coast, baving waited for the royal mail steamer irom England, which was detained by the bad weather in the West Indies, ‘There have been no arrivals from South America since my last communication of the Sth inst, via St. ‘Thomas, ECUADOR. itary Preparations Goiug on in the Repub- Fears of a Hostile Movement Againat Colombia. PANAMA, Nov. 17, 1870, Some excitement existed in the capital on ac- count of rumors circulated to the effect that the President of Ecuador—Garcia Moreno—was making warlike preparations which could only be intended for a hostile movement against the United States of Colombia. President Moreno has lately armed his troops with the Chassepot gun, and las had them instructed by Frenchmen in the nse of it. The Ecuadorian Minister in Bogota has denied that there js any foundation for such rumors, and so the mat- ter stands. The Kcuadorlans have been beaten badly so often by the Colombians that tt ts not at ay probable they Wish to make wat again. The mortal remains of the late Commodore John Carter, United States Navy, whose obituary appeared in the HERALD of Friday, were conveyed to their last resting pla on Staten Island, yester- day afternoon, Deceased dicd at the Mansion House, Hicks street, Brooklyn, on Thursday last. ‘The funeral services, which were held at tat nouse noou, were conducted by the Rev.
