Pr " AMERICAN CREDIT ABROAD, Hlerald Special Report from London. Successful Negotiation of the New Loan in Europe. Soeventy-Five Millions of United States Five Per Cents Subscribed for at Par in One Day. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The special agent of the New York HzratD London telegraphs the following important telligence with reference to the introduction fof the new United States loan in the Euro- pean market :— Loxpon, August 22, 1871. The new loan is a great success, The European Syndicate opened their books t ten o'clock A. M. in this city and in Paris, Werlin, Frankfort, Amsterdam, Hamburg and russels, The amount introduced was $75,000,000 of five percent United States bonds, No subscripiions were received at less than in gold. , The loan commanded a premium of 3-4 to 1-2 per cent previous to the opening of the oks. The subscriptions in this city are already for Spver $30,000,000. Advices from the Continental agencies make certain that the entire $75,000,000 has been ken. _; The books will be closed to-morrow (Wed- Ypesday), instead of on Thursday, as has been ppdvertised. @he Preliminary Negotiations on the Continent. 4A Financial Conference in Frankfort—American Financiers—Bankers at Home and Abroad— Scandal in the Financial World—Ameri- + can Railroad Securities—The Rou- manian R:i!way Troubles. FRANEFORT-ON-THE-MAIN, August 10, 1871. The Treasury Department, Washington, is repre- Penied here by the follow ing gentiemen, viz.:—W. A. Michardson, Assistant Secretary, and R. M. Blatch- ford, ex-Minister of the United States to Rome, they were joined yesterday by J. P, ‘Bigelow, of the an Department, Washington, while Treasurer spinner left on a trip to Baden-Baden, Several ther financial celebrities haye reached Frankfort juring this week for purposes of concerting meas- res to place about JFIFIY MILLIONS UNITED STATES BONDS ON THE MARKET. The government agents have received several fers, both from London and Frankfort bankers, A artner of the house of Baring Brothers has been jtaying for the past week or two at the neighboring jpa of Homburg, where Mr. J. L. Loyd, of New ‘ork, representing @ financial association of Lon- jon, England, 1s now sojourning. No definite ar- ugements have so jar been made, but there is not he slightest doupt that the whole of the amount ill be readily taken up by German bankers, Al- hough no particulars have transpired, I have been formed that THE TERMS pee the government has been able to obtain are ore favorabie than any offered yet by Wall street ankers or Others. Assistant Secretary Richara- m, I believe, 8 Wailing merely for gome necessary documents, expected here in a lew days, when he will be placed in a position to melude a market with the bankors here. The nancial world has been much scandalized by the jon Dayment of VERDUE COUPONS OP THE ROCKFORD, ROCK ISLAND AND ST. LOUIS RAILRUAD. Beveral millions of bonds, according to some state- ments, upwards of nine millions have been placed ere and in Holland through the aency of Morris j. Budge. At a meeting held here on the 8th instant esolutions were passed for the purpose of concert- 1g measures calculated to protect the interest of ihe unfortunate bondholders. 1n the course ofa iscussion it transpired that the information con- eyed by H. V. Poor’s Manuel of Railroads in the nited States led investors to believe that a large Mount oF the { AUTHORIZED CAPITAL HAD BEEN USED ‘yn the purchase of land. No less than two millions, it had been asserted, had thus been invested, while i on investigation, it appears that the amount does not exceed sixty thousand dollars, " OTHER BONDS. + Bonds to the smount of between one and two mil- flions were placed here this week of the Iilmois, Springticld and Southeastern Road, at 75 or 754, ‘and another million of the Chicago and Soutneast- ‘ern Road found purchasers at 60. The discrepancy ‘Ms accounted for by an act of mismanagement, tne bonds having been in the hands of Baron Erlanger, ‘who piaced them on the market through the agency of the Austrian Bank, who propabiy blundered somewhat in the matter, THE MOBILE, NEW ORLEANS AND TEXAS ROAD found no favor on the Frankfort Bourse; they were swithdragyn from the Market and sent by Mr. Shat- tuck, through whose agency they were offered, to jAmsterdam. It is noteworthy to remark in this connection that, as arule, the Amsterdam Exchange follows invariably the wake of Frankfort, and that ‘Beldom or never have American investments found favor im Holiand unless Frankfort takes the lead. THE SEASON ds too far advanced to adinit of large operations on ‘gue Bourse. The most prominent operators are tak- 4ng rest in the country or enjoying relaxation trom Dusiness at one of the spas in the environs of this city. Under the circumstances the Assistant Secre- tary is making but slow progress. ROUMANIAN RAILROADS. The excitement respecting the question of the Roumanian ratiroads has not subsided, though tt appears that means will be found which bid fatr toward a pacific arrangement. The Austrian gov- ernment has evidently a large interest at stake in preserving peace on the Danube, To her it ts not @ mere question of money, and, therefore, the efforts Of Prince Bismarck to stave off the evil day must Fecelve the support of Austria. POPULARITY OF THE NEW LOAN IN LUROPE Wasm'naTon, August 22, 1871. Advices have been received here to the effect that ‘the subscriptions to the new loan in Europe largely Xceed the allotmentifor the country, aud it Is prob- able heavy drafts will be made through the banks Bpon the $50,000,000 placed on the market in this country. From this it appears that unless the na- tional banks of this country secure all necessary Jor their own conveniences to-morrow the loan will be exhausted. The Secretary has made arrange. ments to forward to Europe immediately the bonas 4 by the Syndicate, Tn addition to the aubscriptions trom the Euro pean Syndicate to-day, there were subscriptions amounting tO over $600,000 by American agents, Yi — .. oe FRANCE. Trials by the Court Martial at Versailles. The Commune Positively Ordered the Burning of Paris—The Prolongation of M. Thiers’ Powers—The Proposed Disband- ment of the National Guard.

Very extensive arrangements have been made by the Tyne atthorilies jor the medical inspection of ships coming from the infected districts of the Bal- tic. They have also determined to establish a float ing hospital in the river, so as to prevent seamen who may be brought into the port ill of cholera from being landed at the seaports and from mixing among the general population. Similar arrange- ments are being made in the Wear and at Hartle- pool During the next two months there will be large arrivals of steamers and sailing ships in the northeastern ports With cargoes trom Cronsiadt, Riga and the Baltic ports generally. But generally cholera has not been imporied into the northeastern ports of England from Russia, but from Holland, where the crews of the smaller class of collier ves- sels uniformly take their supply of drinking water out of the canals or rivers for the voyage home, and the disease that subsequently broke out on board these vessels and was brought into British ports was traced to water pollution.

Thiers, who has grown old in studying the interests and in the service of his country, Who has several times neid the tiller of the State, and whom our too frequent revolutions have never definitively removed from the foremost rank, naturaily regards himself as the best informed man tn France concerning our wants, and the qualified to supply them, The National Assembly, Which includes among its members many young men, liberal, familiar with the institu- uons of foreign countries and not opposed to re- forms, belleves that from its continuous relations With the electors 1 possesses a knowledge of their desires, from tts information ft has a mght to torm an opinion and from tne commision entrusted to tt has the Power to compel the government to accept that opinion, it ts thus that the Oitetot ecutive power, t!ke all men of ardent convictions, becomes irritated, threatens to retire, and makes ao appearance of seeking from the minority that sup- port which he pretends that he cannot find among the majority. ‘Chese threats of retirement and the apparent alliance of the government with the minority provoke from the majority complaints of desertion, aud M, Thiers is accused of governing without them and despite of them, A SMUGGLER CONVICTED, Burrato, August 22, 1871.

Fears of the Introduction of the Rinder- pest from Asia, Serious Damage to the Georgia Rice Crop. Secretary Boutwell Refuses to Refund Taxes Collveted of State Officials, WASHINGTON, August 22, 1871. Damage to the Georgia Rice Crop. Advices received here from Savannah indicate that the rice crop has suifered severely from the effects of the great storm along the coast of Georgia on Friday last. The damage to the crop on the Sa- vannah and Ogeechee Rivers 1s considered quite large. Many of the most valuable plantations were entirely submerged. It will be some days before an accurate account of the damage can be ob- tatned; but beyond a doubt the plantations on the seacoast and the Savannah River, with no sur- rounding forest to break the fury of the terrible northeaster, have suffered disastrously. Refunding Taxes Collected of State OMcers. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptrol- lers of the department had a conference yesterday in regard to the many applications made for refund» ing the tax collected on the salaries of State officers under the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Bufinton vs. Day, of Massachusetts, Secretary Boutwell decided that it was inexpedient at this ‘Ume to consider the applications, and It was there- fore ordered that no action should be taken until afier the meeting of Congress, when it is proposed to ask the passage of a bili covering this class of cases, Spread of the Rinderpest in Enstern Asia. Consul McGowan writes to tne Secretary of State from Shanghae, June 17, concerning the rinderpest, as follows:— ‘The general government having adopted meas- ures to prevent the spread of the rinderpest from Earope to the United Statés, 1t seems proper you should be apprised of the possibility or that con- tagion reaching America by way of Siberia and the Kurale islands. The rinderpest. advanced very slowly from its place of origin, near the boundary of Europe and Asia, in its Eastern course, showing that it does not spread as an ordinary eptzostic, } and reached the Pacific coast last year at Passiette, It proved extremely virulent, and, according to re- cent accounis, ii is extending Its range southward into Corea. Skins and furs have lately found tnetr Way as merchandise from Alaska to Passiette, from regions further north, Now, although such com- modities as cattle and sheep are not hkefy to be sent from the Asiatic to the American coast, yet there 18 growing intercourse be- tween the natives of those lands, who may convey contagion by articles of clothing. It has been estabilsned that the morbific matter of the dis euse may be thus transmitted. It is possible also that other than bovine or domestic animals are ca pabie of conveying the disease and of finding their way from one continent to the other. Co gresstonal enactments have protected the Atlantic Seaboard from the pestiferous invasion, but they Would prove inoperative in the remote Northwest, What would be needed there, should the disease make its appearance, would be the practice of the AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC ASSOUIATION.
