An Interview with Bishop Dupanioup. A Henatp correspondent has had an inter- «esting interview with Monseigneur Dupanloup, he result of which we publish on another page ‘of this morning's issue. The correspondent swaited upon the famous churchman at his villa smear Versailles, and was at once given a warm ‘welcome, and, when the object of the visit was amade known, his lordship entered into a free and unreserved conversation on the present “state of France and her prospects in the near future. Bishop Dupanloup is, as will be seen, -no admirer of President Thiers, and whilo he caste no doubt upon his patriotism, he refuses ‘te accept his management of affairs as the Proper direction of legislation to secure the Prosperity and the consolidation of France. Like all great leaders, Thiers believes in him- self and in his ability to steor the ship of State be 4 pafe haven, and it is not to be wondered t his course does not mect with the ‘approval of all prominent French statesmen. iS8o far Thiers has done well. That he has Mabored hard for the establishment of the Republic and been suc ful in his efforts is patent to all. ‘There are, no doubt, unpopular features in his administration of affairs. His strong protection ideas may be questioned and his arbitrary measures in many cases to be extent be condemned; but with all his shortcomings he has proven himself to bs mian for the occasion. To please all <olasses would be impossible, and President Thiers, in the line he has marked out, shows ‘that at least he is determined in ee he be- Aioves to bo his duty tohis gountry, Mac mm, the man wi om. ae ee ‘would have to take the place of the voteran statesman, is unquestionably a fine soldier, a ftrue patriot and an honest man, but, even ac- -cording to the Bishop's own showing, a man mot at all fitted for the presidency of the French ‘Republic. He might, to be sure, be Rurrounded with advisers of ability and tbe guided by them, but whcthor this would ‘bo a change for the better is a ques- ‘tion we would not like to decide in ‘the affirmative. The Bishop’s fears of Gam- ‘betta are most gloomy. He perceives in tho ‘ex-dictator’s accession to power the most dire disasters to France.~ Throughout the whole interview the fear of approaching troublo is evident. With all Thiers’ shortcomings, he thas done well by France, and that Marshal “MacMahon, though “he hag the army on his side,’ could do better is a conviction we are ‘mot prepared to share, even with the en- “dorsement of Monseigneur Dupanloup to sgtrengthen it. Mercanttz Farmores mm Battrwone.— ‘Pevoral failures are reported among what have ‘been considered the soundest, as they were the “heaviest, commercial firms in Baltimore. A Jarge decline in the value of coffee, consequent “pon the .recent reduction in duty, is pointed :at.as the cause of the disaster, though the de- tails of the matter hardly seem to bear out that ‘assumption. All the suspended firms were in- *timately connected; the failure of one crippled -the others and the whole circle have been com- “pelled to stop. There was no precipitancy in ‘the removal of duty from coffee, which had ong been generally demanded, and prudent -dealers had ample opportunity to guard against Joss by the decline in price. If these Balti- ‘more importers have suffered to any consider- ble extent from this cause it would appear ‘that they must have failed to exercise ordinary business sagacity. But even if they have thus seuffered for their own folly their case illus- ‘trates the danger of frequent modifications of ‘the tariff, which unsettle values and derange ithe currents of trade. Stability of imposts Sllows dealers the opportunity to extend their plans into the future and calculate with cor- tainty about prospective values, while tho lia- bility to frequent and great changes in the tariff reduces mercantile ventures to # game of hance. wih. oes. Avermarssta—Oun Amenican Trapz.—Our Yatest nows from Australasia by the steamship Olympia is cxcoedingly interesting.

Of thirty or forty ships which had sailed from the colonial ports within sixty days at loast two-thirds were American. This is a good and hopeful sign. By way of San Francisco ‘the. growing wealth of the Australian colonies and of the Southern seas generally must find té way to this country.

Under certain conditions the Webb line has a fair chanco of obtaining this promissd help. In those Southern seas there is a new and undeveloped world of ‘wealth.

Important Facts Likely to Come to Light from the Tnvestigation—The Charge and Punishment. TELCCEAM 10 THE KEW YORK HERALD. Parts, Sept, 13, 1872, Itis reported that the trial of Marshal Bazatne has brought to light facts of great gravity. The Charges Before the Court and Law of the Case. Marshal Bazaine stands in a most critical post- tlon, even as regards the safety of his life, before the French courtma:tial. It is charged that on the 27th of October, 1870, Bazaine surrendered the for- tifications of Metz, with the munitions of war there collected, 163,000 soldiers and 6,000 oficers, includ- ing three Marshals of France, to the Prussian army commanded by Prince Frederick Charlies, and that he did so unnecessarily. A French decree of the 18th of October, 1363, still In force, says (article 255) :— The commander of any military post must not forget that military laws condemn to death with military degradation such commander who capitu- lates-without having forced the enemy to enter his works by the slow and successive Stages of @ siege, and before having repousse au moins un bes aa corps de la place sur des breohes prati- ¢ Marshal Bazaine did not carry out either of these admonitions, which no French commander under penalty of death with military degradation should fail to remember. Bazaine’s punishment, if found guilty, is death. ‘Thus the man two years ago accounted the greatest commander, and the most fortunate officer in the French army, will now have to do battle for his life before the frst councli of war.

The War Department has published a general order announcing the death of Brevet Brigadier General Thayer, recounting events in his life. [t says:—Returning trom Europe in 1817, he was ap- pointed Superintendent of the Military Academy, and served in that capacity for sixteen years, during which time, under his able administration, the institution, from a rudimentary school, became one justly celebrated throughout the land, serving at once as a fostering mother to the army, as the ploneer instructor of the engineers of most of the Public works of the country, and as a monument of his own fame, On retiring from the Military Acade- my in 1833 Colonel Thayer was charged with the construction of the permanent defences of Boston harbor, which were nearly completed according to his designs, under his own supervision, and which will long serve as models of engineering construction, General Thayer's administration of the public trusts was always eficient, economical and faithful; enthu- siastic in his profession and emulous of reputa- tion, he was not envious of others; though reserved in manner he was always courteous, and while avoiding controversy he did not hesitate to de- clare his opinion and to sustain them by argument, The great worth and services of this veteran soldier are gratefuily remembered by the gradu- ates of the Military Academy, of which he was justly styled “the father,” and his name will be entwined with the laurels which many of them have gathored on the battle fleld. As a tribute to his Memory the oiicers of the corps of engineers will wear the usu) military badge of mourning thirty days, % Sua the day after the recelpt of this order at West Point half hour guns willbe fired, beginning at sunrise and ending at sunset, the nationa: fag being displayed at haif eta during | that time, Marks and Brands on Brewers’ Gasks. It appears from a circular just issued by the Inter- nal Revenue Bureau that the provisions of Special No, 120, page 2, which provide for the marks and brands to be put upon @ package in use or intended to be used in the sale of fermented liquors, are so far modified as to provide that gaugers, alter hav ing determined the capacity of the package, in beer gallons, will brand on the bottom of such cask their name and oMice, date of gauge, the district and the denomination of the stamp. This brand will be varied so as to correctly show the stamp re- quired, by substituting for the words “one dollar” the words “two dollars,” “fifty cents,” “twenty- five cents,” “sixteen and a third cents" or “twelve and a half cents,""as the case may be. When the kind of stamp is represented by even dollars the marks will be branded on in letters in full, but when the stamp required Is less than a dollar stamp the fractional part of the dollar may be branded on in figures of not less than one inchin length. The brewer is to be notified by the gauger when the cask overruns in capacity the quantity Specified in special No. 120, and opportunity bo given him to reduce the cask tothe proper capacity before it is branded. In making out their bills for gauging beer casks gaugers will charge for beer Gallons capacity the fee prescribed in supplement to special No. 119 for proof gallons contents for gauging at distilleries.

Arrears Due to Workmen Under the Eight-hour Law. Congress at the late session passed an act pro- viding for the settlement of all accounts for ser- vices of laborers, workmen, mechanics employed by or on behalf of the government, between the ‘26th of June, 1868, the date of the eight-hour act, and the 19th May, 1869, the date of the prociama- tion of the President concerning their pay, the settlement to be made without reduction on ac- count of the reduction of the hours of labor, when it shall be made to appear that such reduction was the sole cause of the reduction of wages.
