BILLIARDS. Groot Match for the Championship of Eng- lish Billiards—Roberts Loses the Championship. Lonpon, Dec, 1, 1870, _ Ounce more the championship of the English game ‘of bittiards has changed hands, and John Roberts, jr, after having held it buat a few months, has been pompelled to resign it to Joseph Bennett. It may be yemembered that the billiard trophy was instituted in the Commencement of the present year. At that time Joba Roberts, Sr.—so well known in America— has acknowledged as the bes: player of the English jaime, und it was agreed that if ne could be beaten by his challenger, William Cook, a young an of twenty-two, who had made the spot troke the study of his life, and in those wactics had acquired exceptional brilliancy, he ould not again come into the eld. At a conven: on of billiard players It was also decided that, to hncrease at once the diificuity of and the interest In ¢ play—and so raise its scientific value--the pockets be reduced in width irom three three- uacters to three inches, and that the distauce be- ‘tween the spot and the upper cushion should be de- from fourteen to tweive and a half inches, 0 first championship contest teox place last Peb- lary at St. James Hall, in the presence of the of Wales and one of the largest and most wonable ‘audiences ever agssembied on such an wccasion. Of that match 1t is sufiicient now to say hat Cook, playing with the utmost care, ere leag id # lead of 200, anu seemed to have so great a hance that 100 to seven was bet on him; tnat by series of the most brilliant strokes Roberts con+ ved to make up his leeway, and headed his op- went 1,041; and that iinaily, by lia ever- ecning confidence, he threw away the game. Cook was immediately challenged bv the ialien hampion’s son, also named John, who met him in ‘he game hall a few months later, and having in the interim lived prudentiy—he is unfortunately much ven to drink—and practised assiduously, while ook, on the other hand, though one of the steadiest a. inost Tespectabie of our billiard players, had ‘asted nis strength in exhibition matches, beat him y 478 points. Roberts was then ciallenged by Wier, ol Brightou, but the latter had taken too gh an estimate of his powers and never hada hance. Lastly the gauntlet was thrown down to un by Joseph Bennett, an exceedingly quict, de- eat young fellow, who has long been Known as an excellent ali round player; and who last week fee that he was in splendia form by winnin, om Cook not fewer than six out of ight entertainment matches, each of 700 uj. efore that time the beiting had been seven to Woand three to one on Koberts; but the odds radually decreased, until on Monday last, betore ‘he play counmeaced, no more than even money ould be had, Bennett’s rive mn favor was due, in reat measure, to his capital piay with Uook; but also to the conviction, Which has: become stronger @nd stronger with every contest since these maickes ere instituied, that on the championship tables the Bpot stroke is a style of play which becoines so dif. ee a8 to be praciically worthless. The men are onsequently compelled to fall back on tne legiti- ate all round play which is so popular in America, ud Bennett, having a high reputation in this pect, seemed far irom being “out of the hunt” ven with so renowned a eueist as John Roberts, Jr. Whe friends of the latter were the more anxious ut him, a§ they Knew from his’ own confession ‘at he had been drunk two evenings before, and ‘a8 ID ab excited and vervous state. When play commenced Roberts opened favorite at ve tofour, and he gave the first miss in baulk. Ben- ett did atito under the side, and each gave another afety miss. Roberts got up to 13, but Bennett soon erhauled him, and with a run of 17 Managed to ore 49 to his opponents 1%, and when he was 55 to he others 22 an even twenty pounds Was bet, and veral other transactions at the same odds, ’ Rob- ris, however, putting togecher two breaks of 13 and 8 soon hecame favorite aguinst sixty pounds to filty ounds on nim, and when, with another good run 1 30, he reached 106 to Bennett’s 105 £120 to £100 ee oliered freeiy, and the disposition to back the aa ata oy tae Re Oo any strokes bein; by both men, and little worth notice occured nul Bennett was at 249. Roverts added a 27 his.193, and broke down at an easy carrom, good 35 brought Bennett to 307 against his adver- ‘y'8 236, and he became favorite for tie first me, thirty-five pounds to twenty pounds betng laid bn him, After a capital break by Roberts of 40 the lnterval took piace, with the men standing then Ben- bt 508, Roberts 334, A 25 by the champion, a 85 y Bennett and a 23 by Roberts brought about specu- tion at filty pounds to twenty-five pounds, but mnett kept on, and reacaed 700 to’ the thers 446, and the briiliance as well as the ease his ae to imcrease as the game went n, # break of 47 in particular “bringing down the jouse,”? Roberts, however, followed with a 42, ana 18 64, Which Cuine suou ufier, Was the run of the vening and inc.uded some magnificent shots, Ben- ett was not, however, to be done, aud went on adily, and notwithstanding all the dash and fire of his opponent, in which the latter made up @ great deal of his lee-way, won, after a agnijicent finish, by 9 points out of the 1,000 up. Tne victory was gained by sheer coolness and care. Whe winner never “turned a hair” all night, being 3 calm when his adversary was passing him as hen he himself was a couple of hundred ahead, wud he never threw away a chance, playing for paiety whenever there appeared to be the slightest 18k Of his falling. Koberts, on the other hana, with g far more exciiable temperament and with a@ cer- tain contempt for Benuett, aitempted todo by sheer fboid skill what the latter did by prudence and sig- qaaily falied. Yhat he J3 the better player, leaving courage and coolness out or sight, I pave no doubt; Dut without these very requisite qualities 1 do not pee how he 1s ever to beat Bennett. BALLOON VOYAGE. wo Miles Above the Catskill Mountains Splendid View. [From the Poughkeepsie Eagle, Dec. 13.) ;. That very successiul aerial voyager, Professor 5. vA. King, made @ splendid balluon ascension from Elienvuie, Ulster county, a short time since, aud his description ol lis trip is so interesting that 1b 1s worth publishlag, ‘Soon atter rising from the starting point the whole of Ulster, Sullivan and Delaware counties, the Watskill ‘Mountains, the boundaries of Pennsylva- i’ and much more were brought into view. ‘ne =Proiesser’s companion grew enthusiastic, and his exciamations were wildly in ac- cordance, Thiee-fourths of the way to the ‘top of the Shawangunk Mountains they noticed a ‘long steep P pitoye and when they reached the top ‘they found there a wide plateau, on which was a ‘pond of water. Higher and kigher rose the balloon, the blood of the a¢ronauts coursing through their ‘veins at tremendous speed, till suddenly the aerial ship entered the clouds seven minutes and a half after its. aeparture from earth. Suddenly the air be- came stinging Cold, aad the veyagers were compelled ‘to turn up their coat coliars, and Lo rub their cars and ‘oes to prevent them frem freezing. Their cheeks dened, their eyes sparkled, and their whole frames seomed to be singularly affected. Taey were hid- den from everything earthly @ntirely. The cloud cae seemed to be quite ary and light, and, as the Dalloon floated upwards and through it, prismatic colors flashed and wavered before the optics of the daring voyagers. For full five minutes were the’ thus singularly surrounded, duri all of whic! Ume they were, of course, unable to ascertain ‘towards which poims of the compass they were ering, As they emer; from their pure hive and fleecy surroundings the good ship of tbe air broke from its close confinement into the mosi glorious sunlight, and above it as far as the eye could see the biue arch of heaven was ‘visible, while below the white rolling clouds, tinged ‘with the rays of the sun, added to a scene at once so grand a8 vo defy de:cription. It was majestic! Xt was wonderful! On ali sides towered mountains of snow, white clouds so brilliant that the eye could scarcely upon them, witle between them lay, Spparent , dark gulfs, and long, deep ravines. ‘hen did the cold reiax its hold upon the voyagers and the temperature rose to a genial warmth, so pet it seemed like a sudden transit from winter to jumnmer. Watle looking at one of the mountains of vapor before them, one of which seemed to tower pun- dreds of feet above all of the others, and whose broad white velvety side appeared to be extraordi- narily beautiful, the voyagers exclaimed, simulta- neousiy, “Look!” “See!? A change was taking piace upon the surface of the cloud alluded to—a eee, of some kind was coming to light upon it, ike @ painting from a beeen view. Gradually Jt became more distinct, tll finally a Jac simile of the balloon and its occupants lay agatnst the broad ‘white bogom of the floating cloud—a shadow cast py the sua. From it radiated a halo of light in rain- . me bahia forming @ circle larger whan tie balioon olf. it was @ beautiful, yet strange phenomenon. But re balloon feels the rarefyinz power of the sun, and from this cause begins to mount more rapidly, soon Jeaving ‘the clouds far beneata it, hen came pictures of mountains, dark shadowy ‘Vaileys and chasms, a3 far as the eye could reach.

It will be remembered that on several occasions during the past month, and, in fact, mace the begtuntng of fall, the “bears” in the —_ ket have endeavored to render the money market stringent, but each time have failed to ue complish their schemes, both from the great abundance of capital im the city this season and from the absence of any acckiental circum stances calculated to help them, They wont so fur as to invoke the aid of one of the prominent down town banks, whieh locked up $2,500,000 for a day or two, but on this Occasion they suddenly lest the alliance of the bank, because one of the oMeris of ‘the Currency Bureau at Washington happened to be op @ tour of inspection in this etty, aud fright. ened it into propriety, At Jepgth they dix | covered that today tne city government was about to call in, or would have cailed in from the day previous, the sum of about $3,000,000, in order to meet the payment ef interest on and redeem @ portien of the county debt (the city and county having been conselidated, the county and city debt are now the same thing), while Vhey calculated that during the balance of the Month the various dividend-paying inetitutions would begin a general withdrawal of joans and Moneys in order to prepare for the payment of the dividends which fall due the latter part of this menth and during the beginning of January. The cliqne ope- ators arranged their pians at a special meeting held a few days since, apd fixed today for tne grand attack. 1ts brilliant success does credit to their abilities as Mnancters and speculators, no mat- ter how culpable they may be in offending #0 griev- ously against the general moral code of society and comme: Such movements may be splendid evi- dences of speculative skill; but they are conspire. cles against good order which should be punished by some legislative enactments, fer they demoralize business, prostrate trade and check our mercantile Prosperity, Their preparations for tightening the money market were felt in two preliminary spasms on Tuesday and Wednesday. But yesterday wey drew the net and caught the street tn tus meshes. They founa that one of the city banks had drawn in the money requirea to pay the city debt, as above noticed, and by locking up money in addition they left the street short of money this afternoon. The stringency was not felt until toward three o'elbck, When borrowers suddenly discovered that loans were very difficult to procure. The clique had already taken the precaution to secure all the avail- able loans themselves at seven per cent, which they could do with a very smal sacrifice of cash, for seven per cent for @ single day amounts to only a: trifle after all, The rate consequently advanced to seven per cent, gold, after which a “commission” of a six- teenth was paid. The demand becoming greater borrowers became urgent, and as money must be had to. make their accounts good, com- missions of one-eighth per cent, one quar- ver per cent aud even one-half per cent per day were paid for the use of money over night. The highest rate—and it was certainly ex- travagant enough—was the one last mentioned. Borrowers were “shinning” the street in all direc- tions, until at last a “money market’? was estab- lished on the sidewalk in front of the Stock Exchange. Accounts were late all around. Many ‘Were not made up until four o’clock, even by the best nonses, and the banks, in order to gather in their deposits, kept open nearly two hours after their usual time. The stringency was precipitated with a suddenness unequalled in the history of Wall Street. To assist the clique it happened to be the time for paying into thé Sub-Treasury the millon and odd dollars due for the gold purchased yester- day and, as chance directed, Mr. Boutwell in Wash- ington happened to be at a Cabinet meeting or away from his desk on some business, sothat the award of bondscould not be made early in the afternoon, a condition on which m any of the brokers depended to be able to setoff their payments for ‘the. Duugit yesverday, It very usual to valance two transactions one against the other, and to pay into or receive from the Sub-Treasury the dinerence. This accident aggravated the stringency by com- pelling the houses who bought gold to pay for tc to- day, without reference to the amounts which might be due thom on the acceptance of their bonds. As it was the Secretary was not heard from, and the Assistant Treasurer took the responsibility at a late hour of buying a million of the bonds that were offered at the lowest figures. To trace the stringency more in detail, money opened at seven currency, advanced to seven gold, and thence to one-half per cent commission, but trom this point it relaxed slightly—viz., to one- quarter per cent ‘and interest,” which was the latest rate on the street this evening. A “BREAK” IN STOCKS. As may naturally have been inferred, the object of producing this stringency in money was the break- ing of the stock market by the clique, who are and have been for several months operating for a decline, Their efforts to produce a fall have 80 far been only moderately successful, and in that respect confined to only a few of the stocks which they have assailed. Originally they relied on the usual stringency of money in the fall to help them out in their plans; but this reed proved a broken one. The distribution of money throughout the country has become so gene- ral that there was not the usual ebh of money to the West and South this season. They next published the famous “bugaboo” circu. lar, which, by the way, they have placed in the hands of some rural Congressman and given him a “put” on a hundred shares of stock, with a view to intimidating stockholders throughout the couniry by the introduction of a scathing law against stock companies in general and railway companies in varticular. They have sent their emissaries to Washington to work up contraction; but they found Congress, too much engaged in political squabbles to care for financial matters. Their last card was making money stringent, tm which doubtless they have the assistance of some of the banks. The balances to-morrow should be observed with Particular attention, for they will show which banks have lent themselves to chis nefarious conspiracy. Some of the coolest minds in the street rogard the present attack as a forlorn hope movement to con- summate the designs of the clique, who had become ured of the long obsti- nacys of the market and were afraid that with the distribution of some sixty or seventy millions of dollars in the way of interest and divi- dends, coming on the street before the middle of January, they would be overwhelmed by the’ very natural result of suck an ontcome of Money—namely, & sudden rise in the Stock market, Last winter this rise com- Menced on the 31 of January and continued until stocks had advanced ten to twenty-flve per cent, thelr buoyancy being suddenly checked by the disturbance of the money nf&rkets ef the world aris- ing out of the inauguration of hostilities between France and Prussia.. The most conservative brokers think that present prices of stocks are not far from “hard pan,” and the cliques know that a host of outside dealers are ready to buy should the market undergo a further decline of afew per cent, Under these circumstances their desperate strait requires that they should force prices down, 80 as to enable them to cover their speculatiev contracts before the newyear. That they were suc- cessful te-day in producing lower prices is shown in our comparative table further on; for with money at % per cent a great deal of stock was “spilled” out of the hands of weak and timid holders. GOVERNMENTS LOWER. The government list was lower, but steady, if not surong, at the decline. Borrowers in government _Alaterals were supplied with money at six and seven per cent, GOLD WEAK—111% A 110%. The gold market was strong in the morning on lower quotations from London, and opened at 11134; but later in the day, on the improvement of five- twenties abroad and the apprehension of dear rates for carrying, fell off to and closed at 110%.

Continuation of the Investigation—Important Testimony of Professor Chandler. The investigation in the case of Prederick Meyer, the young nan killed on Friday last by the explo- sion of a gasoline tank in the machine shop of ‘Thomas Kerr, on the southeast corner of Fully-Omh Street and First avenue, was reopened yesterday before Coroner Schirmer. Only two witnesses— Uharles C. Van Benschoten, of New Rochelle, and Professor Chandier, chemist to the Board of Health— ‘Were examined, and below will be found a synopsis of their testimony:— TESTIMONY OF CHARLES C, VAN BENSCHOTRN. Mr. Charles 0. Van Beuschoten, President of the New Rochelle Gaslight Company, was sworn and deposed—That about the ist of February, 1609, Mr. John A. De Voe, of New Rochelle, called and stated he was connected with an enterprise im this city by which he could take our gas aud manufac. ture it for half the expense, using half the amount of coal, make it equal in illuminating power with- out reducing the consumption; he represented the company known as the GAS SAVING METER COMPANY at No, 70 Broadway; through his instrumentality I ‘was induced to visit the company, and saw the re- presentatives of the company, who told me that they could do as Mr. De Vov represented, and [ agreed to allow them to demonstrate to me that they could do as represented and I would pay them for the appa- tus and also for the privilege of using their car- Durotted gas; they agreed to erect the apparatus at their own expense; they put up thelr apparatus, consisting of @ wank or boiler, under which were two carburetters aud @ mixer to mix the atmoa- compen air with the gas and then pass it trough @ gasoline; THE FIRST ATTEMPT was made @n the suth of April, 156%, when they put in one barrel of hydrocarvon in the tank; that did not saceeed; they then made some alterations, putuing in wnether barrel on the isth day of July, 1889; tney tried to light up the town by the gas, bub FOUND IT VERY POOR; other alterations were made, but an utter failure Was the resuit; the witness then told them he bad fulfilled his portion of: the contract and could not allow them to experiment any longer; they allowed it to rest, and the wiiness heard nothing till the 8th of November last; Mr, De Voe stated to the witness that the company would ike to have the tank and other apparatus taken out, as Lhey wanted to use them in their factory; on the loth ult. the witness ordered his men to take them out; they emptied the tank of about filven gallons of the eae and placed it outside, and on the 42th of November Mr. De Voe sent for the tank, aud the witness saw it on # sloop; have seen a tank at the Nineieenth precinct station house, which the witness thinks ts the same tank used; No one came to me to purchase ® tank, Mr. De Voe being we only person who spoke to me about tt. TESTIMONY OF PROFESSOR CHANDLER, Charles F, Chandler, chemist by profession and. ‘eer at the School of Mines and chemist to the Board of liealth of this city, deposed that he is famitiar with petroleum and its products; have ex- perimented with them ever since their introduc- lton into commerce: have visited a number of petroleum refineries, studied the process of the manufacwure and purificauon, and under the direc- tien of the Board of Health investigated the oils sold in the metropolitan districts—petween six and- seven hundred; the results of these experime:ts showed that all but twenty-one of the specimens were dangerous, liable to prodace acchients, and were below the standard of satety fixed by the fire Jaws and health ordinance of the metropolitan dis tricts; THE STANDARD IS that oil sold shall be of such a quality that the ofl evolved shell not produce an explosion when temperature beiow 100 Fahrenheit, aud that the oil itself shall not take fire at a temperature below 110 Fahrenheit; in refining the oil it 1s subjected to a disiillation; the gasoline being the most volatile and ute to arrive, «(37,c., gold.

In consequence of the absence of Mr. DeVoe and Mr. Averill, regarded as being important witnesses, the investigation was further adjourned till Monday next. VENEZUELA, — CONSULATE OF THE U, S. OF VENEZUELA, 121 Front STREET, New York, Dee, 16, 1870. To THe EpiTor or tae HerRaLp:— In your edition of to-day I have read your article headed “Venezuela.” It purports to have come here by the Dutch Princess from Curasoa, with dates from Maracaibo of the 23d ult. No such vessel has arrived at this port. The date of the 2341 have re- ceived direct from Maracaibo, and does not mention the capture of that place, noris any allusion made to any portion of your news. I am therefore com- pelied, as the representative of phat republic, n thas city, to deny the trutituiness of the report. You have no doubi been imposed upon, ad OF inserting the above you wil oblige yours, respectfully, 4 TIBURCIO HERNANDEZ, Consul of Venezuela at New York, The first democratic paper in Fran! county, Pa., was published in Chambersburg in 1797 or 1798, by two gentiemen, named Snowden and McCorkle. Snowden was the fighting editor, and when any one complained of any personal allusions which were made in the paper he gave them a lesson in pugilism which always proved damaging.
