Princely Deference to American Ideas—An Im perial Christian Meekly Worshipping—The Aspinwall Beception—West Point To Be Visited To-Day. —— ‘The chilling winds and sharp, biting frosts of yes- terday did not deter the Grand Duke Alexis Alex- androvitch from travelling from his hotel to the Greek Chapel in Second avenue, to conform to our republican custem of thanksgiving for . mercies past and to pray for future blessings. Nor did they irighten a crowd of imperial worstippers, who held ‘their place on ‘the sidewalks for an mour before his ‘arrival and during the half hour His Imperiai High- mess Was @t prayers. Owing to the grand ball at the Academy, on Wednesday night, the Rev. Father Bjerrmg cut the service short, so as to avold completely tiringout the Prince. There was also another reascn—namely, that owing to the ice in the Harbor the altar boys from the Svetiana were unable to come on shore, and consequently ‘Were not present to chant the litary or 7e Deum. ‘The Chaplain of the Svetlana, however, was Preaent, anu, attired in black vestments, took his place at one of the reading desks, while Father Byerring and his assistant—a theological student from St. Petersburg, not yet ordained—performed ‘the service, As on previous occasions, THE PRAYERS WERE SAID IN ENGLISH, by Rev. Mr. Bjerring, and in Sciavic by his assistant, The Scripture lesson was the narrative of the ten lepers- from St. Luke’s Gospel—the same that was read lust Sunday, The Grahd Duke Alexis, Admiral Possiet and Mr. watacazy arrived together at eleven A, M., anda little later came the Russian Secretery of Legation and Consul Bodiseco, Prince Galitzin was there in al) his ponderosity and glory of decoration won apon hard fongnt fields 1a the Crimea, There were a few other Russians of lesser Bote also present, together with some Americans—-in- all, twenty gentlemen and thirteen ladies, The service had been fixed for half-past ten a. M.; but the Prince, probably Jeara- lag that eleven o'clock was the American hour for buch service, ana being tread with his previous night’s entertainment, did not arrive at the first Mentioned hour. Patieatly the priests and the peo- ple stood watching aud waiting for the coming of the imperial! party. Some of the watchers had seen His Imperial Hignness vefore aud some tad not ‘Those who were conjuring up ior themselves PICTURES OF TRINCES AND DUKES guch as one reads about in ol fairy tales, must have been sadly disappointed yesterday morning when a tall, graceful, moaest beiring and gentie- manly appearing youug man, dressed in a walking sui, With light trousers, black trockcoat and hat, entered the door of tue uvpreientious ttle chapel at 951 Second avenue, followed by his fleet Admiral and Mr. Catacazy, similarly attired. The Prince was met at the door’ of te chapel by the om@erating Gergymen, Father Bjerring, holdugz in is hauds a golden crucifix with whicn he Llessed the Prince, and to whicit the laiter very piousiy essed fils lips. The assistant priest held im nis his hands a goiden plat: on which rested a golden cup, coniaining holy water and the asperging bunch of hyssop. with which the Prince was sprinkled. He received the water on his left hand, aud, wetung the fingers of lus right land therein, inade the sign of the cross on himself in the most pious and Chris- @ian-like manner, He thes took nis position on the right of the chapet and ve. ad nding during the service, Admiral Possiet occupied a position in ntre of the room aud a little Lo the rear of the wiille M, Catacazy stood on the leit of the Admiral, and belind them stood the otner noted personages and the Company of the curious ones who had come to see A LIVE PRINCE AT 113 PRAYERS, At the close of the service the priest again blessed the Prince, who aiso again very piously kissed the eruciax. On the grand altar there lay:wo magnificently: wrought coverings of silk and velvet for the chalice and lor the vessel containing the sacramenta) bread. These are mate up in the form of a ‘, and the chultce-cover has grapevines, with branches of the fruit beautifully embrotdcred im gold and frinwed with tassals of gold. ‘The other, also tu the form Of a cross, iad ears of ‘n and bread fruit AuWrought on it, Between these, and designed to cover bothat the mass, there was a larger cioth, also embroidered wilh gold. ‘These are tne gift of & Wealthy Rus-ian lady in St. Petersburg, aud they have been used but twice im the Greek chapel here, Next year tt is de igned to erect a regular Greek church on Lexington avenue, in the vicinity of the present church, This will be good news and eu tidings to the hundreas who have recently ome so enamered of Russo.

It is not the custom Jor priests of the Greek Church to preach, except on special occa- wions, hence Father Bjeriing does not often address his audience, He has been requested, however, to Kive some expository seruions on the drctrines and customs of the orthodox Greek Church, which he has partly promised to do, and he may, therefore, commence them next month. Itis not, however, a very pleasing task fora clergyman who, by tne rales of is charch, must fast until the close of his session, to stand up and talk lo & promiscuous con- gtegation for half an hour or more on an empt Rlomach. Nevertheless, if the good of the Church requires it, no doutt Mr. Bjerring will deuy himself, as he 18 always ready to do for the sake of others. When the service was completed the Grand Duke ‘and suite relurned tothe hotel and spent the re- mainder of the day in a very quiet manner in bis apartments, Last eveniug, in accordance with pre- vious arrangements he attended a reception given in his honor at tne residence of Mr. W. H. Aspin- wall. The party was very select, none being invited but the very élite of the fashionable world of New York.

O'VONOK, NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1871.—TRIPLE THE COLLAPSED BANKS. Stekoments of tee Receivers of the Bowling ‘Grees and Geardian Savings Banks—The Stuyvesant Bank. As briefly stated in yesterday's edition, the recetv- ers appointed by the various suspended savings banks have commenced totssue their statements, and the Tesult of their investigations has proved more satls- factory and cheering to the depositors than many of them had been led to anticipate. Since the meet- ing of the committee appointed to confer with the Teceiver of the Bowlog Green Savings Bank on Wednesday addijtonal security has been given of the ability of the banks to pay in full, or nearly 80, and there ts mow every reason to believe that the havilities of the various companies wall all be made good, Yesterday, on account of the holiday, it was hard to obiain any additional information, but a HERALD reporter picked up some facts which will doubUess be interesting. On inqairy it has been ascertained that though the banks have come out betier than any one expected, they WILL NOT RESUME BUSINESS, at least under the present charter and with the present officers and stockholders, who have euurely lost the confidence of the public, with Tew excap- tions. The meeting of the committee of the Bowl- ing Green Bank was very important and it has given great assurance to the depositors, The tollow- ing 1s the statement of une receiver:— as Loans on personal security, est collected.

I shall proceed at once to convert them {nto cash without so much haste as to make any sacri- fice, and bedeve I shall be able to declare a divi iend before Christmas. 8. T. KNAPP, as Receiver. NEw York, Nov. 2, 1871. It will be seen that there is a deficit of nearly $22,000 in the accounts of the bank; vut how this Occurred Ws not explained to the committe: by Mr. Knapp. Inquiry was made of the receiver rela- Uve to th: nature of tne secu.ities, anu be replied by stating that he could not at present give the names of the persons who held the Joan, but he be- hheved the amounts could be all collected by careiul management. Subseguenatiy a sub-committee of two was appolnted to exanne the securities and all documents connected with tae bank. Judge Horsan and Mr. Phillips are the geutiemen appoinied, ana they will commence their work on Monday and make a searching investigauon. As will be seen by the statemenc of the receiver the loss wili be only five cents on the dollar, THE GUARDIAN SAVINGS BANK. Mr. Jeremian Quinlan, the receiver of the Guar. dian Savings Batik, has also given a state:nent of the state of the finances, which 18 even better than the one issued by ine Bowling Green. He states that all depositors will be paid in full—those having smail amounis, not over $200, at once, Mr. Quinian bas good anuihority ior mak- ing the statement, as he has carefully gone over the accounts of the bank before is-uing It «The votal havilities amount to $250,009, and the assets, loans, covered by ample securities, will be suuicient to cover all claims, The great delay in making au eaburate public stulement—what has hitwerto been revealed being merely tniormal—has been caused by the large smount of work which had to be gone through before the accounts were thoroughiy straightened ana the situ- ation fully ascertained. Tne trustees have al- ready placed in Mr. Quinian’s hands betweeu $60,000 and $100,000 m cash raised by subscription, aud in addiion Walter Roche, the Vice President, has given a bond for $300,000, secured by property of equal amount, to be held 10 trust as a guarantee to the depostiors that they will be pald in full. Mr. Quiniaa will apply to Judge Barnard at an early day 1o get an order to pay all deposits under $200, and atthe end of the present week he will, probably, Issue Is public siatement, by the advice of his counsel, Messrs. Jerome, Pratt & Bulkley, THE STUYVESANT. The delay in pubitshing a statement of the finan- clal condiion is continuing to cause considerable grumbling among the depositors, who are clamor- lug ior a speedy -seitiement, ‘The vilicers of the bank state that the delay has been caused by the conduct of the Merchants and Traders’ bank, the latter holding @ large amount of the paper of the Stuyvesant in collateral securities for indebtedness at the time of the suspension. It 1s stated that the Merchants and Traders’ Bank as the notes become due obtain the money and apply it to the liquidation of the debt due them, and that in consequence DO report can jet be issued, Mr. Archer, however, expects to be ready with his statement in a month, or ten weeks alter the sus- pension. There ts considerable diversity of oplaion relative to the solvency Of the bank, souwe of ine de- positors having every contidenee that they wiil be paid, white otners are extremely doubtiul avout the ultimate result. Mowever, there 1s every reason to believe that the liabilities will be nearly all covered, and that the stay vesaul, like the other hanks, will be able to pay all the depostiors in fall. The situation is very cheering to the poor people who had tueir money in the various banks, and the statements issued on Wednesday enabled many of them to eat their Thanksgiving dinner with a happier spirit than they could otherwise have done, THE TICHBORNE B3W {From the London Morning Post, Nov. 15.) It will be remembered that the claimant to the Ticnborne title and estates issued bonds, or mort- gage debentures, of the nominal value of £100 each, e purpose of raising £100,000, estimated as news of war” requisite for carrying on the present costly lawsuit. The Birmingham Daily Gazette understands that @ considerable number of these bonds found their way to Birmingham, where numerous partisans of Sir Roger Tichvorne have shown ther sympathy with his cause not only by Ofiering heavy odds on the tssue of the trial in favor of the claimant, but by investing their money in these debentures, A tew months ago some of the Tichborne bonds were openly offered for sale in Birmingham at ten shillings each. At that time the claimant's chances were, at all events, more cloudy tnan they are to-day, because these mortgage notes— issued at £65—are now said to be worth from £46 to an Al the market.

Such doings are not permitted in England. — ‘re memoravle case of Jonn Wilkes ts in point here. His private papers were forcibly taken by tne | magistrate from the place of keeping in his secre- tary, and Wilkes recovered £500 damages for ie outrage. Way the right to this writ of seizure shouid be a power belonging to the government in their revenue jaws, if it be true that it 1s so, is un- explainable, Such practice finds no parallel in the case ol stolen goods, lu the one instance a party is permitted to seize his own goods, which are tuere- upon placed in the hands of the pubiic ojlicer until tie lawiul owner shail be entitled to restitu- tuon; in the ether, as in the case before us, tho party's own property is seized betore and without couviction. Messrs, William F, Weld & Co. are among the largest ship owners in the world. ‘Their transac- tions and credit extend to the East Indies and else- where im commercial marts., This house bave been largety Instrumental in extending the commerce of the United States into new avenues, Besides dealing largely in other merceandise they are the heaviest Importers of nutmegs, which are brought by their Snips from sources Of supply in the Bastern Archi- Rous other than the Island of Banda, where the utch have so long held the trade im a close mo- nopoly. In 1963 Mesers. Weld received large im- portaiions at Boston of nutmegs, which were 60. to arrive, the 1mpor.ers, of course, having no inter- ———— | estin the duties. The duty on this article is spe- cific, At that time it was ufty cents a pound, and it has since been reduced to twenty cents. At the place of exportation weights are reckoned in piculs, @ picul being 133% pounds of our standard. The nuts are packed im itine, as a security against worms—the lime not paylag duty.

Buta suit in (he Matter Of an importation of East India sugar, in which traudulent weight is alleged, 18 pending in New York against William F. Weld & Co., and a second trial in the case was set down lor the 27a of Nove-uber.

Os- tensibly the writ, which is potent for this violent wholesale seizure, calls for documents concernlug the nutmeg importations of 1s63, but at practically, as it appears, serves the turn of the informer by furnishing him with practically a complete inspec- tion of ali tue books and papers of his opponent. We understand that the nutmeg case of 1333 15 a matter of some two or three thousand pounds in a large importation, and jor this it is necessary to ailege that several official weighers were bribed to rise the value, all told, of some five or six thousand joliars. ‘he above 1s substantially the case that has catled forth so much talk the past week on ’Change and in mercantile eircles, Upon its merits, so tar as there may or may not ve any fraud in the welgit of these goods, 1b 1s not our purpose to speak, further than that n the Messrs. Weld were called upon to produce tae papers demanded in the writ issue.l apon the allegation of the iniormer, the house, through their counsel, Mr. Somier, were ready on the spot then and there to respoad to the writ by furnishing the precise accounts and papers demanded, Sut itis was not enough. The informer being the party in the New York suit—which, be it remembered, has nothing whatever to do with nut- megs—persists, Unrough the Marsual, in seizing all the books aud papers Of the tirm for examination. This procedure being declined the Marshal and posse proceed to break open oue safe, and presently iinding the kevs of the others they curry off tue contents; and the same intormer, with agsistants, substantially enjoys the facility of overhauling and examining as they Diease tue business transactions of Messrs. William F, Weld & Co. What we have to do with this matter, and what concern the business community appears to have Wito it, 1s this bigi-handed course of proceedings uader What is claimed to be legal by act of Con- gress. We repeat, itis not necessary to consider the question of tne guilt or innocence o/ the mer+ chauts under the law. It 1s the monstrous enormity Of a magisirate’s seizure and retention tor inspec tion, for an uncertain length of time, by anybody, ofa man’s Own private papers, This is enough, although in the case before us the act is intensely aggravated when done on the bare allegation of an iniormer, who, witnout peril or expense to himsetf, assumes to make such allegation Jor the hope of what money can be made out of it, im view also of the other circumstances in this particular case. ‘he positive oppression—if such practices be constitutional—on the merciants of this country, 18 worse, lufinitely so, than the irtters de cachet, the writs of assistance, or any other odious acts of despotism which long Loh Europe and America, were trampled under foot by an indignant people. It is worse, because this arbitrary, despotic engine of power is not solely for the use of ollicial responsible authority, but 18 a weapon put in the hands of any interested private party who will com- ply with a very simple process before a United States Judge, in order to serve his Ownturno. And this case is not wholly an exceptional one, Its oc- currence with the mercantile community 1s not infrequent. They sufler trom it and are Hable wo its oppressive working always, a3 1s well understood by the iawyers, who, 80 far a8 we have heard, take a view of these procedures similar to the one we are now express- ing. Among other instances nowin our mind of the atrocity of this law is that of one o° our first houses, whose books Were taken and retained, as we remember, for nearly two years, tne goods } damages posites. and alter all ‘notuing was lound against them. & ay ‘it may ba gor tect itself against the acuteness, the tricks, or, if you will, the unscrupuiousness, of desiguing mer: chants? We answer, on tie arrival of 1mportations the Custom House officers have everything in their entire control; then anu there a collector can do What he pleases ip the way of veritcauion, It is the business of the oilicers to ask — questions, to search, to scrutinize, to have able experts, trusty men who understand wherewith they have to do and to do 1 ‘finally. If by and by fraud 18 charged let it be pursued as other allegations of iraud are pursued, But it is better for the revenue to surfer loss than in- stitute acts which violate one of the dearest rights offreemen. We have heard it said the past week, in comments on this case on Central whari, tat there is no sympathy among merchants, and thus, Without sufficient earnest protest and exposure of this character of the law, it has been alloweu to op- press and to terrify commercial men, doubtiess Toany times extorting “black mail” Trom honorabie merchants who could not afford to abide by the ter- rible espionage, delay and cost sure to come from one of these modern Writs of Assistance, FIRES YESTERDAY, In 176th Street.

Vanderbilt got as far as Oak Hill last night, and this morning was com- pelled to land her passengers at a railroad station, from whence the cars of the Hudson River road took them to their destination, Tne steamer thon managed to get as far as Athens when she took on some freight and turned back for New York, passing here bound south later in the day. The steamboat City of Hudson tried to get through to Albany but failed. The steamer Eagte, of the Newburg and Albany line, got as far as Ron- aout going north to-day, and then gave up the idea of going any turther, Scarcély a sail vessel has been seen on the river under way to-day. All boat men are hurrying to get into winter quarters, Floating masses of ice are already visible as far south as Tivol. Navigation Closing Abo Hudson—The Steamer Vanderbilt [cebound.

News has been coming up from points in the St, Lawrence below tne city of vesse.s driven ashore, and the government steamer Napoleon Third had to be sent om. The river is full of floating ice in thick blocks, which work great damage upon wooden vessels.

From St. J Port Joli comes a despatch stating that the remainder of the crew of the bark Chryseis were picked up at St. Roches, where the ship had sunk with several men. The sufferings of the survivors were. awful, Some cannot live.

The large number of locks between West Troy and Cohves, witn the necessarily short distances between them, permits the ice to clog tne locks, making it almost impossible to close we gales, Between West Troy and Schenectady there are nearly if not quite two hundred and filty boats laden with apples, which will be badly frostbitten, if not entirely :utnea, Boats laden with grain cleared irom Buifaio as late as Saturday last There are nearly one hundred boats caught out on the Champlain Canal.

The ice on the river near Castleton, where the tides meet, 1s quite ‘ormidaple; in tact the tugs were compelied to “vack and fll” considerably last nisht in order to get their tows to Albany. The usual rate ior towing canal boats to Albany is $5, but $25 were freely offered last evening, and tugs which ordi- Darily tuke 81x boats found it diMicult to manage two.
