4 aieneniientte NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE, SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS, The Vice Presidents Elected—The Subjects Dis- cussed Yesterday—Advice and Suggestions to Congress and State Legislatures—A Din- ner at Delmonico’s and an Excursion to Hell Gate Tendered the Delegates. ‘The delegates to the National Board of Trade re- assembled yesterday morning, at half-past ten, in the Supervisors’ room, in the New Court House, President Fraley in the chair. After the adoption of the minutes Mr. STRANAHAN, from the Committee on Creden- tials, reported in favor of admitting Charles E. Hill and George W. Lane, of the New York Importers and Grocers’ Board of Trade, and the delegates from Kansas and New Haven Boards of Trade. The | report was adopted and these Boards were ad- mitted. Mr. Stranahan announced that the Cham- ber of Commerce and the Grocers’ Boards of New York propose to tender this Board a dinner at Del- monico’s on Friday evening and an excursion in the waters of the bay to-day, at one o'clock. The invitations were accepted unanimously. The tellers appointed to canvass the VOTES FOR VICE PRESIDENTS reported the election of all those nominated Tues- day and published in yesterday’s [Enacp, with the exception of Messrs, Hazard, of Buffalo, William H- McClave, of Newark, and C. J. Hoffman, of Philadel- phia, who had forty-seven voteseach. A ballot was taken for the election of two of these three gentle- men, and Messrs. Hazard, of Buffalo, and Mr, Hoff- man, of Philadelphia, were declared elected. THE HOUR OF MEETING. Mr. YouNG, of Baltimore, stated that eleven A. M. was too eafly an hour to assemble, as shown by the small audience this morning. Even the min- ister who was to open with prayer had failed to make a connection. He asked for a reconsidera- tion, which was moved by Mr. Hoffman. The vote fixing ten A. M. was reconsidered and half-past ten o'clock fixed as the hour for calling the roll. MEMORIALS, Mr, OrpYKE presented memorials from Samuel H. Ruggles, of New York, asking for a return to specie payments, and from William C. H. Waddell in relation to a reduction of postage and the trans- portation of products of the West to the seaboard. Mr. Fisk, of the St. Louis Board of Trade, pre- sented a memorial asking for the petitioning of Congress to open the Indian country to civilization aud commerce. These petitions were referred to the Executive Council. Mr. BURWELL, of New Orleans, presented resolu- tions relative to uniform tonnage and duties be- tween the United states and the Spanish colonies of Porto Rico and Cuba and the islands adjacent thereto. Referred to the Executive Council. The Board proceeded to consider the PROGRAMME OF SUBJECTS. Subject No, 3.—Issues of Scrip Dividends, proposed by the Executive Council: That the issue of scrip dividends, the watering of stock, and the issue of stock without a full money equivalent by Incorporated companics, are pernt- cious customs, measures for the abrogation of which are deserving of the consideration of this Board. On the motion to adopt Mr. Roche moved that after the words “scrip dividends” the woids “with- out a corresponding reserve or accumulation of profits” be inserted. Mr. OrpykE seconded the amendment, which was adopted with the original. The executive Council was authorized to petition the different legislatures on the subject. Wo. 4.—Warehouse Receipts, proposed by the Ex- ecutive Council: Improvement in the security afforded by warehouse recespts issued tor property stored. Mr. ROWLAND, of Cincinnati, with whom the sub- ject originated, stated that he had no conference with the Executive Council, as he did not suupdae it necessary. The object of the resolution, which was offered at the last council meeting, instructs the Executive Committee to petition the State legisiatures—first, to aneauarely prevent the (Issue and negociation of fraudulent warehouse receipts; second, the enactment of laws to protect warehousemen from fraud, and third, to make warehouse receipts negociable the same as com- mercial paper, Mr. HOFFMAN thought that the resolutions were unnecessary, as the laws in most States protect business men. He did not think it necessary to act: we must look at the character of the men pts, and he wished to the Council for iMeulty of inducing uniform law on the house receipt would country, Ite felt that « ousemen, and banks some ed by these receipts, The mercautile interests must stand between the ‘csuers of these fraudulent receipts and the banks. A DELEGATE proposed that warehouse owners be compelled to give bonds covering the full value of grain in his custody. Mr. Rock advocated the resolutions, and moved their adoption without further discussion. The resolutions were adopted. No. §.—Duty on Canadian Lumber and Destruc- tion of American Forests, proposed by the Newark Board ot Trade. The resolution recommends the abolition of duty on Canadian lumber or a reduction of the present twenty per cent ad valorem duty, as the present pus ig an imposition upon the consumers of the ‘es Mr. McCLAVE claimed that the duty is an onerous one upon the consumer, as much of our lumber is imported from Canada. The home producer, in consequence of high duties, increases his facilities, and in consequence our forests suffer greatly, while the prices are no lower for the consumer. The omcial facts show that the imposition o the tax is not beneficial to the home consumer, The importation from Canada is about eight hun- dred millions of feet per year, and the tax upon the consumer is over eleven millions of dollars. Mr. McClave referred to the destruction of our forests, and from statistics he estimated that seventeen ears are sufficient to exhaust the forests of any tate, taking Michigan as a basis. He showed the demolition of American lumber forests to be at the rate of about four million acres per annum, and ar- gued that it would be a judicious Policy to encour- je the importation from Canada. The burden of his argument was “‘Woodman, spare that tree” at the sacrifice of those of the Canadians across the St. Lawrence. Mr. WETHERELL thought that Congress had care- fully considered this subject. They had reduced the duty less than twenty per cent. On cheap goods the reduction Aad been irom about twenty er cent to five, and he thought this a moderate juty, and that the lumber interest should be sat! fied when the average percentage to produce revenue is about forty per cent, some interes| paying as high as sixty cent. The propositions made in the resolutions amounted to free trade, and he did not think we should get the duty so low as to injure our own trade. Mr. THOMPSON, Of Baltimore, moved to refer the matter to the Conference Committee, to conier With the Canadian delegates, which was adopted. Subject No 6,—"'Inland Water Communication,” proposed by the Buffalo Board of Trade and amended by the Ex- ecutive Council. That if any proposition be entertained by the National Board of Trade looking to an_appropria- tion by the United States of money or credit in aid of any ‘work within the limits of a particular State, it should be shown that stich State is ready to abandon cntireiy to the general government any and ill interest it may have in and the entire jurisdiction over such work, with the un- estricted right of way and a release of ail private owner- ship. A discussion occurred on this subject, the Rich- mond delegation asking that it be deferred until next year, and Buralo, through Mr. Hazaxp, trying to force the subject on for iminediate consideration and final disposition. The matter was postponed until to-day. ‘Tassification and Rates of Freight by psed by the Cincinnati board of Trade, J ireight agents ot all roads in the Unit y exhorted to torm a general and national eight, and Congress Is hereby requested ¥ shall prevent injurious discrimina- ssieation of freight or extortionate and shall simplity the means by which redress can be obtained by the weakest individual against the strongest corporation. Mr. Busby, of Philadelphia, moved to insert aster ‘the word ‘laws’ the words, “stall favor individu- ails or companies other than the railroad companies in Lmwpey roiling stock for the a tage of merchandise upon the various roads, with the view of promoting the public interests by a wider com- etition for the carriage of freight than now ex- ists, and.’ Mr. BRANCH oppoged the resolution, as, in his opinion, placing the railroads under a centralized government at Washington was more dangerous to the liberties of the people than leaving the trans- tation of freight im the hands of the companies. The corrupt government at Washi nh iready too much power, This was a question outside of ‘the commercial interests of the country properly, and if the Board was in favor of takin, questions they had better give all the railroads of the country to Grant or Greeley, if he is elected. Mr, ROWLAND made a strong speech in opposi- tion to requesting Congress to interfere in the matter, He argued that they had no power under oe cia anaes tad the United States to do so, and could only be done by reterring the subject to be hy islatures of the States. pei ary: it. SARGENT proposed to substitute “the Legisla- tures of the several States” for Congress, é Mr. Busby argued that the passage of laws allow- §ng transportation companies to run trains upon railroads would make considerable competition and allow the shipper to give his products tw the lowest bidder, whereas now he must. pay whatever the whe own the roa: nay demand, The sul was nally referred to the Executive Committee for future report.

A was referred to aarket Reports Committee, Suutyect No. 11.—‘Immigration,” proposed by the Boston Board of Trade, as suggested in the follow- ing resolutions :— Resolved, That the National Board of Trade observes with much’ satistaction tho efforts which the general gov- ernment is making to secure proper protection in person and property to immigrant passengers on thelr way to the United States, and it would express the hope that treaties with foreign Powers may speedily be concluded under which our government and others interested will be cnabled to attain uniiorm legislation on this subject, and the jurisdiction of cach and ail, over the oiflcers and crews of vessols employed in the conveyance of immi- grants, and over their acts upon the high seas will learly detined, o"Rosolved, ‘That in tho judgment of the Board federal supervision over immigrants arriving in the United States shoula cease after they have landed and passed through the Custom House with their effects, and that their treat ment subsequently may safely be leit to, the several States and municipalitics upon. the seaboard, and tw tho operation ot the spirit cf rivairy aad competition, now 40 actively at work among them, Resolved, That the Foird unquatified|y condemns all schomes, combinations und monopolies oppressive - migrants by which they are deprived of the proper and usual facilities tor ¢ id sale transportation, and by which many imposiuc practise] upon them, and it would respectiully urge upon the various local duthorl- ties to take all necessary measures to counteract such schemes and combinations and to puta stop all such impositions. Resolved, That all capitation taxes collected from or upon immigrants, whether imposed directly oF indirectly, or without color of law, are odious and upjust and ought to be abolished. Mr. CanpLER, Of Boston, moved the adoption of the resolutions, and stated that the Boston Board pabrnll Ta to the proposition in Congress to es an immigrant bureau, on account of the centralization of power to which it would tend; but they wanted the government to make laws for the protection of the emigrant from cruelties in- flicted upon the high seas. He wished to inform Congress that the people will not permit the govern- ment to perform any duty that the people can do themselves, and the practice of levying @ capita tax upon emigrants was unconstitutional and a disgrace to a free country. His Sregenent was con- vingeia and when he had concluded he was loudly applauded, e resolutions were unanimously adopted. Subject No, 12.—Local charges on shipping. The folowing was moved by Mr. Rocus, of Boston :— That Congress is hereby respectfully urged to intervene for the protection of those engaged A eeteatien nad to pass such laws as may be necessary to forbid and prevent the exaction of taxes, charges and tees upon shipping, under State or municipal law. Mr. OPDYKE opposed the resolution, as it would, if adopted by Gongreas prevent the collection of wharfage in cities like New York, where the docks are worth probably twenty or thirty millions of dol- lars, Others having expressed opposition to it the Boston delegation consented to the reference of the resolution to the Executive Council, and it was so referred. Subject No. 18.—Ocean postal service from New Orleans, proposed by the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce ; to ask from Congress such subvention for postal sea service asmay bo necessary to give New Orleans facilities for communication with foreign countries equal to those of any other city in the Union. This; at the request of Mr. BURWELL, of New Or- leans, was referred to the Executive Council. The subjects of ‘American Shipping interests” and “Shipbuilding in the Mississippi Valley” were made the special order for to-day. Subject No. 17.—“Gambling in Trade.” The following was offered by tne Philadelphia Board of Trade :— Whereas the preservation of a high tone of integrity in mercantile transactions should be the carnest desire of all business men; and whereas the practice of making corners in any kind of merchandise involves the use of means artificial, irregular and independent of the in- fluences of a natural supply and demand, thereby de- moralizing trade and injuring the entire Business com- munity ; therefore Resolved, Thatit is the duty Trade to express its decided disapproval of a system which substitutes reckless gambling for fair dealing. Resolved, That the banking institutions of the country should discourage loans to parties known to be engaged in making corners, by exacting such security as would contine their transactions to limits bounded by their ac- tual means. Mr. FAIRBANES, of Chicago, opposed that portion relating to the buyers, who often purchased in good faith. Mr. ROWLAND, of Cincinnat!, maintained that the local boards were alone responsible for this gambling. Mr. Granay, of Louisville, advocated the silence of this body on the subject, as it was simply a business matter. : Mr. BRANCH made a laughable address, de- picting the immorality of New York and its gambling stock rings, which ruined man: who took stocks. “God have mercy upon suc! scoundrels," he said, ‘as rob the wives and children of ee gentlemen who come from little villages and know nothing about the immoralities of great cities. Iwas caught when a young man to the amount of $25,000 and got experience.’ He con- cluded by suggesting that the matter be referred to & special committee, which prevailed, and Messrs, Branch, Cook and Hoifman were named as such committee, and instructed to report to-morrow morning. The Board adjourned until this morning. STRICT AND OPEN COMMUNION. pi NRL Abed ES An Ecclesiastical Warfare Temporarily Averted—The Rev. Mr. Pentecost and the Rev. Hyatt Smith Before the Long Island Baptist Conference. The Long Island Baptist Association commenced its sixth annual Conference on Tuesday last at Babylon, L. I. The Conference was held in a new church, which was dedicated on Tuesday evening. About one hundred and fifty ministers and dele- gates were in attendance. Messrs, A. 8. Lawson and Boughton were re-elected clerk and treasurer, This was ad No. 10 of the National Board of | It was expected that at the session of this Confer- ence yesterday there would be a very lively contro- versy on & question of faith, on which it is alleged that the Rev. Mr. Pentecost, of the Hanson place Baptist church, and Rev. Hyatt Smith held very free views, and that their recent practice in reference thereto did not meet with the unanimous approval of their brethren. The expectation was not realized, though it was evident that both these clergymen were eager for the fray. The question in dispute is the old question of open and {ree communion. Mr. Smith is an os communionist, both in theory and practice. mooted Neeunh consequent on the baptism of Miss Smiley and the administration of the Lord’s Supper to a sick member of his church and to sev- | eral persons tn the sick man’s chamber who were not members of the Baptist church. This condi- tion of things has ied to discussion in the Bap- tist organs, and it was thought that the militant condition of this question would eventuate in a wordy battle at the Conference at Long Island. This conflict was virtually turned aside in the morning session yesterday, when a question of dis- cipline regarding the Port Jetferson church came up for review, and the principle of the right of a | church to maintain 1ts own discipline was asserted | and substantiated. In the afternoon session the question of strict and open communion was brought up somewhat covertly, and after a short discussion, | in which the general question was not entered upon, the following resolution was carried by 61 to | 14, the remainder neutral :— Resoived, That, while we do not r of the Conference remaining ard the Long Island and while we realize the tall an of each church of which itis composed, we do, e- deem it Fight and proper at this tiine to declare our firm and unalterable adhesion to the distingurshing trines and ordinances of our denomination as the: taught and exemplified in the New Testament and they were held by the Baptists of Long Island at the ti of the organization of this body. The remainder of the proceedings were of a | routine character. The Conierence services were closed by a sermon preached by Mr. Pentecost in the evening. JERSEY'S NEW ASYLUM AT MORRISTOWN. As has before been stated in the HeRaLp the State of New Jersey is building a new and hand- some additional asylum for the insane on a splen- did site in Morris county, a few miles out of Mor- Tistown, It isto cost $1,000,000, Yesterday, pur- suant to an invitation from the Commissioners, Messrs.

Westcott, Judge Lathrop, Dr, Lilly and Mr. Beach Vanderpoel, a select number of Meets oa gentiemen visited the grounds and were shown the progress which had been made, and which is highly gratifying to the State and the management. Among those present were Governor Parker, ex-Governor Randolph, Major General Fitz John Porter, Dr. Kirkbride and Professor Gree! if ennsylvania; Judge Vail, Judge Guild, of Newark; General Perrine, Presi- dent Beetle and Speaker Niles, of the New Jersey Legislature ; Senators Williams, Hick, Taylor, Bird and Wiley, “Newt’’ Congar, Treasurer Sooy, Com, troller Kunyon and Congressman Jobn Hill.

FAIR. She Becomes the Object of An- other Sensation. CRITTENDEN'S SON PURSUES HER. -———— Exciting Scene in the Streets of San Francisco. ES eS WILL THERE BE ANOTHER TRAGEDY? (From the San Francisco Morning Call, Oct. 9.) After the adjournment of the Fourth District Court Judge Tylor escorted Mrs. Fair to his ofMice in Court block. A Ca'ltreportcr accompanied them. Mrs. Fair, upon reaching the office, asked for a giass of water, remarking that she felt faint. After drinking she sank heavily ina chair, When she recovered horseif ahe entered into conversation with the Call reporter, She informed him that she did not know how long she might remain in San Francisco, say- ing that sne had several lawsuits pending, and remarking, with @ laugh, that she might never get away atall, She then left the office with Judge Tyler, Immediately after Mrs, Fair entered tho building : JAMES L. ORITTENDEN, son of the late A. P. Crittenden, went into the office ofJohn B, Feltun, and, seating himselt!, began to read a law book. Those who ware present say that Mr. Crittenden appeared to be in a very excited condition, Suddenly he darted out of the room into the hallway and met Mrs. Fair and Judge Tyler coming down the stairs leading from the third story. Mr. Crittenden made a motion to move to- ward Mrs, Fair, but he was intercepted by Judge Tyler, who was heard to exclaim, “DON'T SHOOT! Tcan shoot as well as you.” After s good many excited words Judge Tyler hurriedly led Mrs, Fair down stairs, They had scarcely reached the street when Mr, Crittenden appeared, and was about to advance toward Mrs, Fair, when he was again ntercepted by Mr. Tyler, who warned him not to advance, saying that Mrs. Fair was in his company, and that he considered it his bounden duty to protect her. Mr. Tyler appeared to be as much excited as Crit- tenden, and he put bis hand into his pocket in an excited manner. Mrs. Fair stood about ten feet from the combatants, and looked perfectly uncon- cerned. She was engaged in gently tapping her teeth with the handle of her parasol during the altercation, At this juncture Mr. J. F. Cowdery GRASPED THE ARM OF MRS. FAIR and they walked up Clay street and turned down Kearny street. Mr. Tyler, observing that Mrs. Fair had been taken away, walked up to the corner of Clay and Kearny strects, accompanied by Mr. Crit- tenden and the Cal reporter. When the corner ; had been reached Mrs, Fair and Mr. Cowdery were i opposite the New York bakery and Mr. Crittenden went hurriedly into Calvert’s drug store and left there two books, which he had been carrying. He then walkea with Mr. Tyler and the reporter until they came up to Mrs. Fair, Mr. Tyler again remonstrated with Mr. Crittenden, but the latter vowed that he would find out where Mrs. ;Fair lived and that she must leave the city. Mr. Tyler, Mrs. Fair and Mr. Cowdery then hailed a street car and entered it, followed by Mr. Crittenden and the reporter, Whenthe car had gone about one block from the place at which the party had en- tered MRS, FAIR AND MR, TYLER made their exit upon ascertaining that Mr. Critten- den had followed them. Mr. Crittenden also step- ped from tne car, and the Call reporter did likewise. Mrs. Fair and Mr. Tyler then entered the build- ing 410 Kearny street, and Mr. Crittenden hurried to the entrance. Upon being again warned by Mr. Tyler, he refrained from entering. He then went across the street and waited for about haif an hour, watching the building. ‘After waiting some time Mr. Crittenden went away. In a conversation with the Call reporter Mr. Crit- tenden said that he was determined to find out the residence of Mrs. Fair, and that she must leave town. THE BASE BALL FIELD. te lea i” A at Victory of the Red Stockings Over the Mutuals. Yesterday afternoon the Red Stockings, of Bos- ton, and the Mutuals, of New York, played the eighth game of the tournament and the con- cluding one of their series on the Union Ground. There were about fifteen hundred persons on the ground; and it 1s not an exaggeration to say that hardly any person on the ground went home satis- fied with the exhibition they had seen. Despite the fact that the Bostons were fairly and squarely beaten on their merits on the previous day, they were backed freely at odds of nearly two to one on them. The game was a wretched exhibition on the Mutual side, and the umpire made confusion worse confounded by his eccentric rulings as to balls and strikes, Both Bostonians and New Yorkers grum- bled fearfully at his decisions, from which, {it wiil be manifest, he was impartial, although Harry Wright had all the advantage so far as latitude in pitching would give it tonim.

Yesterday was so remarkably fine that it tempted a@ large number of people “on pleasure bent” to | the cricket ground of the St. George’s Club, at | Hoboken. It was presumed that the unfinished match of the previous day would be continued; but, in consequence of several of the players re- | siding at a distance, it was determined to decide the friendly contest by the result of the first | inning. The St. George’s, therefore, won by fifteen runs. In order not to disappoint the spectators and those ‘‘wielders of the willow’ who had en- | tered an appearance, a match was arranges, | Messrs, Rocke and Brewster choosing sides.

Comee Wins the 2980 Purse—The Double- Team Trot To Be Decided To-Day, Trotting meetings do not appear to be 80 popu- lar in these days as they were some seven or eight years ago, when all tho fashionables of New York and the sister city were in the habit of mustering in great force at all the principal trotting events in the neighborhood, Driving out yesterday through Prospect Park to witness the second day's trottiag of the Autumn meeting, there did not ap- pear to be many bearing us company, as the roads were, comparatively speaking, deserted. ‘The weather was pleasant, with the exception of a sharp westerly wind that was rolling up clouds of dust, which swept along the smooth roads like a whirlwind, On the track the dust was in full swing and having a high old time, filling the mouths, eyes and ears of the speculators who were depositing their Greenbacks in Johnson’s bank. Marshall was doing the talking, and although he caught a mouth- ful every now and then that would choke any ordinary Christian, still he managed to articulate with sufficient distinctness, “Bruno sold for $100; how much for the field?’ The old sports were rather shy of putting up yesterday, and watched each other in @ kind of nervous manner, and the field was evidently not in much favor, as it did not fetch more than $30, and appeared to be patronized by the outside gang that are always to be seen at every race meeting in the neighborhood of the city. Standing by one of these gentlemen yester- day I overheard the following conversation :— “Patsey, that driver has just bought the feld again. He must mean business this time and we'll see his horse go.’’ is a “Oh! that's played out. He fooled me with that trick at Fleetwood. ‘One of his gang bought the field and he bought hisown. 1 would not put a dollar on anything he drives,” By and by tresh faces began to ‘arrive and the quarter stretch presented alittle more lively appear- ance. Turnbull was there, standing talking to Lew Pettee, and walking about among the crowd were Jake Somerindyke, Bill Lovell, Billy Shaw, John O'Donnell, Connor of Kentucky, Steele of Phila- delphia, Hunt, Backman, Coe of the Spingler House, Sim Hoagland, Harker, Woodward and other well-known trotting men. Leaving the money market fora few minutes, I walked out on the track in the direction of the Club House, just as the favorite Bruno trotted leisurely by, with his coat as fine as silk and in magnificent condition. The balcony of the Club House was already tolerably filled, and the ladies had a fair representation. They did not appear to take very much interest in the trotting, however, and I overheard one young lady say, “She thought running horses were much better fun, especially those nice steeple chases where the men fell off.’ Among those on the club house balconies we noticed Mr. F, O. Williams and lady, Mr. David -H. Gould and lady, Mr, St. John and lady, Mr. Jackson and lady, Mr. A. M, Bliss and lady, Dr, Thomas Jones and family, Dr. Andrews and family, Mr. 8. W. Lawrence and family, Mr. George Powers and family, Mr. Robert Robinson and family, Mr. White- head and lady, Mr. Blood and lady, Mr. Bloome and lady, Mr. Bradley and lady, Mr. Layton and lady, Mr, W. M. Parks and lady, Mr. James Weaver and lady, Mr, James Grant and lady, Mr. McManus and lady, Mr. G.W. Blake and lady, Mr. Filter and lady, Mr. Lee and lady, Mr. F. T. Smith and family, Mr. Hinard and family, Mr. F. ay and family, Mr. and Mrs. Harker, Mr. E. 0. Reed and family, Mr. Van Brunt and mally, Mr. Spader and family, Mr. A. D. Hall and family, Mr. J.

Morton, J. 8. Jacobs and others. The horses were a long time _ scoring before they got off, and although the ta- vorite, Bruno, won the first heat with eas the three Spot ones were car- Fed” off by Comee,' much to the astonishment .of the knowing ones. The double team race was not finished, as darkness set in after three heats had been trotted, two of which fell to Wilkes and Hon- est Oe eed Dan Mace won the other with his team of Blacks.

S$ THE ESCAPE OF THE VIRGINIUS. pel How the Adventurous Oraft Slipped Away from Puerto Cabelio—The Par- suit by Spanish War Vessels—Inter- view with the Cuban General Que- sada—How the Virginius Received “Aid and Comfort” from the Vene- sucla Authorities. ManRacalno, Sept. 22, 1872. On the 7th inst. the American stsamship Vir- ginius, Captain Smith, last from Puerto Cabello, in want of coal, arrived in this harbor. On the 8th Captain Smith called on me, with an invitation to meet at breakfast, at ten o’clock the next day, General Quesada and staff, who were passengers on board. At 9:0 I found, at the boat landing, Mr. Jutting, United States Consul; Mr. D. N. Carvalho, of your city, and Captain. J. A, Johnston, of the American brig Virginius, We all repaired on board the steamer, Where we met General Quesada and his staf, Gen- eral Calcano, Private Secretary of President Pul- gar, and several Maracaibo gentlemen. I found General Quesada ag agreeable and dignified as ever, He was in excellent health and seemed to be perfectly resigned to the unsoldierlike life he was destined to lead for some time—at all events for the next few weeks. - From Mr. P. F. Alfaro, one of his staf, I learned tie following item: wane will, no doubt, interest many of your read- A me PARTICULARS ABOUT THE VIRGINIUS, The steamer Virginius arrived at Puerto Oabello. from sapinwall on May 16, 1872, in want of repairs and for the purpose of awaiting orders, During the time she lay im port her movements were. watched by a squadron of Spanish ships, viz:— steamships Vasco Nufies de Balboa, Pizarro, Fer- nando, Hernando Cortez, Isabella la Catolica, Ara- piles and -tlagship Gerona. ‘he Arapiles left shortly after her arrival for Ue de France, Martinique, to goon the dry dock. On the 4th of Sop- tember the Virginius cleared for Curagoa. The Spanish man- ‘ar Vasco ue Balboa, havi knowledge of t) fact, got up steam and slow! proceeded out of the harbor to wait for the Vir- ginius. The latter was delayed and unable to get under way until half-past seven P,M. The Vasco de Balboa in the meantime, not seeing the Pa ge came out and anchored in the centre of the channel. The Virginius in consequence was obliged to approach the Spanish vessel very closely in order to get cleai On the approach of the Virginians great confusio was seen On board the Vasco de Balboa. The drums beat to quarters, the vessel was prepared for action, and very soon she was following the Virginius, which vessel, with the American baa | flying, soon left her Spanish friend hull down, I[t ‘is possible that the intention of the Ware was to watch the Virginius and the human freight she carried to see that it was not landed on Cuban shores, VISIT OF A VENEZURLAN PRESIDENT, When the Virginius crossed the bar at Abaho Secho, President aul ind of the State of Zulio, Venezuela, and staff left’ Fort San Carlos to meet the Virginius and welcome General Quesada and staff to the shores of Maracaibo. The gentlemen remained on board until the Virginius anchored in the harbor of Maracaibo. Miners have been sent to the Island of Toas, by the President's order, to take out and supply the Virginius with a8 much of the excellent bituminous coal (which this island produces) as she requires. It is only about fifteen miles from this city. I inquired of General Quesada where the Vir- ginius was bound. He replied, “To carry. freight up and down the lake of Maracaibo. Gen- eral Quesada spoke freely on Cuban affairst and hoped that, should a@ new administration succeed the present one in the United States, it would. exercise such & policy as would enable Cuba to free herself without any other assistance than the strong arms of Cubans. THE HAOK DRIVERS’ ORDINANCE. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— The regular members of the Coach Drivers’ Be- nevolent Protective Society, of New York, beg to endorse your remarks in regard to the proposed alteration in the city Jaws, by which a driver is to be allowed to leave his hack to solicit passengers at ferries and railroad landings. We ask no such change, and consider that it would be detrimental to the public interests. We have taken steps to oppose the proposition before the Board of men, and have authorized Captain Leary, the Oap- tain of the City Hall Hack Squad, to protest against it in the name of the lar Coach Drivers’ So- ciety. .
