METHODIST MISSIONS Annnal Meeting of the General Committee of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh Missionary Society. of Appropriations $3$00.000. Basis LIVINGSTONE AND AFRICAN MISSICNS. New Fields Opened Throughout the Earth. Yesterday the General Missionary Committee of ‘the Methodist Episcopat Cnurch, consisting of the thirteen bishops and some twenty or thirty minis- ters and laymen appointed by the General Confer- ence and by the Board of Managers, under the con- stitution of the society, met in annual session to make the missionary appropriations for 1873 for the home and foreign fields. Bisnop Janes pre- sided, and after devotional exercises were held and the minutes of the last year’s meeting read for ‘nformation, the treasurer’s report was presented by Dr. Thomas Carlton, It showed that at the be- ginning of the fiscal year, November 1, 1871, there was a balance in the treasury of $23,987 88; that the receipts from that date up to the corresponding date of 1872 amounted to $661,056 60; that the disburse- ments during the same period reached $598,647 63, and that there is now, therefore, in the treasury a balance of $86,396 85, From this balance, however, is te be deducted drafts for the East Indian mis- sion which had not been presented when the re- port was made up, but have been called for since— $12,447. Deaucting also from this balance the mount on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year, the increase of collections for 1872 over the pre- vious year will be found to be $49,961 97, including an extra special collection, to relieve the treasury from a former indebtedness, of $21,000. Upon the strength of this report, therefore, and upon their own review of the work and its needs for the com- ‘mg year, Dr. 'T. M. Eddy, one of the Missionary Sec- retaries, moved that the appropriations be based apon an income of $800,000. Dr. Trimble was afraid %0 go beyond the basis of last year, $700,000, but Dr. Cariton thought they should not stop at a less @am than $800,000, and he believed they could as readily ask for and get $900,000 from the Church. $800,000 FOR MISSION WORK IN 1873, Dr. Dashiell, Missionary Secretary, said they had ‘examined their estimates very carefully, and were convinced they could not get along with ess than 800,000. Dr. Eddy substantiated this statement, and Dr. Hitchcock, of Cincinnati, was of opinion that the Church would raise $1,000,000 if God’s work demands it, The Western Conferences, s ras he could judge, are hopeful, and ready to raise their Ena but he was afraid at the same time t these promises could not be realized. He was afraid to give an estimate of his own because the collections had so often fallen below his estimate. Still, he thought $800,000 as little as the Board could ‘work upon this year. General Clinton B. Fisk, of St. Louis, who had been elected Assistant Secretary, thought they should not stop short of $800,000. The fears that ‘the Boston fire would greatly diminish the receipts from the New England Conferences he thought ‘were groundless, Rock River Conference a! he Chicago fire went to work and increased ita collections and subscriptions $4,000 above the pre- vious year. Dr. Hitchcock explained that this in- crease was apparent and not real, since on account of the fire in C) , Which burmed up their books, C., HO reports could be made of the moneys then ‘on hana, and hence nearly the two years’ collec- tions appear in this year’s exhibit; and such was the case to a lesser extent with some of the other * Western Conferences, Dr. Trimble withdrew his motion for $700,000, and $800,000 was made the basis of the appropriations for the year 1873. ‘The following is the schedule so jar as acted on yesterday :— Libero 4 rin — prprtn..

The increase in the Africa appropriations, though under the head of Liberia, was made to establish missions among the tribes in the interior, who have been brought to notice by DR. LIVINGSTONE AND THE HERALD. Dr. Reid remarked that if Dr. Livingstone ever comes again to the surface of civilization that whole continent will be opened up to missionary influences, and the new mission which they pro- pose to establish beyond tae bounds of the Liberia Conference wWiil assume greater proportions than they have any conception of. Livingstone and Baker and other explorers had found a population there speaking and writing the Arabic language and practising many of the arts of civilized nations, and they would readily take the Arabic Bible and be thereby brought to a knowledge of salvation. After some discussion on the questien of adminis- tration an appropriation of $10,000 was made for this work, to be administered by the Bishop in charge here in America. The old Liberia mission, therefore, receives an addition of but $500, These sums and that for Japan are given in the schedule above in currency, at twenty-five percent premium and exchange. The other appropriations to the foreign work are on a gold basis, to which the ore per cent must be added, In view of the rapid strides in progress mad both in China and Japan, a large increase has beet given to those fields. In China more than one hun- drea per cent, and in Japan one hundred per cent. These sums are not merely for the sustentation of the established missions, but for the founding of new ones also in points that are now opening, and for the transportation of missionaries thither. Rey. Dr. Gibson, of California, who spent ten years in China, and is now superintending the missions among the Chinese on the Pacitic coast, asked for ap appropriation of $10,000 to establish a mission m the Canton province. It is from this province that most of the Chinese immigrants come, and yet not one of our missionaries in the other stations can speak or understand a word in their diaiect, A native preacher whom he got irom Foo Chow to help hita had to spend one and a half year learning the Cantonese dialect. There are now 100,000 of these Chinese immigrants among us, and were 40,000,000 of them to come and settie down in our Western States and Territories they would not be missed out of the Chinese Empire. He thought it was a strange oversight that left this important field unmanned until this time. The committee, however, did not fee! ready to act, and the matter Was postponed, Besides the large appropriation for India which Appears on the schedule, there is to be added $2,400 for the arate tee ae of a couple of mis- sionary families within the next thirty days, and $10,000 more missions in and around where the labors of Rey. William Taylor have pro- duced marvellous results. He is working there on “the Pauline” method as an evangelist without , anc he has asked for helpers, two of whom ave gone thither, who are to be supported by the mative churches gathered by Mr. Taylor. And others are to be sent out as soon as they can be \ found, This appropriation is, theretore, cor 4 nt and inay Hot be Used at all, or very little of ity any. AFTERNOON SESSION. Bis! Scott presided in the afternoon, when a discussion arose ob continumg the appropriation to Italy; where Dr. Vernon has yet «done nothing @ore examne the ground and jorate pygeell NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET. at Genoa. It was deemed arivisable, however, to continue it another to and to send reinforce- ments to that sunny land. Bishop Peck, woo ad- ministers the Japanese missian, would be to have had 0u0 for that field, bat he would do the best he could with $24,000. The other churches in Japan have strong missions, and if the Methodists hoped to suceted they should go there strong enough to stay. The appro- priation looks to the transportation and support of four missionaries and thelr families, the hiring of residences, schools and preaching places and other incidental expenses connected with the mis- sions. The cost of sending the men out there will be about eight thousand dollars, and their salary, $1,250 each, will make an aggregate of $13,000 to start with, In the domestic appropriations the Chicago Con- Jerence, beside its regular appropriation of $3,750, asked for $1,500 extra, as a loan to THE GERMAN MISSION IN CHICAGO, which lost everything by tie fire last year. They own a plot of ground, 100 feet square, in the busi- ness part of the cify, and are building upon it a business block, with church accommodations in it; but in the meantime they have no money to hire a hall or support their missionary. Objection was made to givin, money to this object, because it ‘was beyond the jurisdiction of the committce. The appropriation was made and the the vote was afterward reconsidered and the matter re- ferred to the Board of Managers, with a recommen- dation to appropriate that sum from its contingent fund, Bishop Janes was surprised that they could hesitate a moment to give this money toa man who, if he were to put himself in the market, could et the very best appointments in the Church. ‘The Increase to Texas is mainly for the German work. Bishop Janes said he expected soon te organize a German Conference In that State. Bishop Ames and Mr. C. C, North gave statistics showing the drift of German emigration to ‘Texas, and the im- porianoe of extending the missions there, Dr, ibson wanted $6,736 for his Pacific Coast Chinese missions, but protracted debate ensuing on a mo- tion to make it $3,500, it was postponed. Debate also arose on a resolution of Dr. Eddy, to appropri- ate $2,500 to establish missions among the Ameri- can Indians, in connection with the Methodist agencies in New Mexico and Arizona, and, pending the discussion, the committee ‘adjourned without Savon. They meet again to-day to complete their work, HORSE NOTES, From as English work, by Fleming, we learn that @ disease identical in symptoms and character to the present scourge visited England and freland in 1750, and attacked almost al) the horses in those countries simultane- ously. The epidemic lasted about six weeks, and, although not particularly fatal, still it carried off @ great many animals. The opinion among those well informed on horse matters is that horses willbe apt tobe tender the coming Winter and more apt to take cold than before the epidemic, and it will be well for all who have valua- ble animals to take extra care of them and not imprudently expose them. Hair Athol, Marsyas and thirty-nine foals, pur- chased by the New Stad Company at the Middie Park sale in England, will leave Eltham for Cob- ham, their mew quarters, The death of Artillery, once a well-known Eng- lish racehorse, 18 announced. He was bred by Mr. Disney in 1863, and was a som of Touchstone and Jeannette, the mare Bae ty, Trish Birdcatcher, out of Perdita, by Langar. e his half brother, Indian Warrior, he was leased to Mr. J. B. Morris, and his colors won some good stakes, includin, the Criterion at Newmarket and the Prince o! Wales’ Stakes at Yerk at two years old, his only losing race in that (1865) being the Doncaster Champagne, for which he was not placed to Ellington. With the latter he divided York- shire favoritism for the Derby, but cut up in the great om race, although he managed to do better in the St. Leger, rumning a dead heat fer second place with Bonnie Scot id, Warlock defeating the air very easily. In the same season he wor the ‘orth Derby at Newcastie-on-Tyne, the Ebor St. Leger at York, walkea over twice (at York and Doncaster) and beat Ellington easily for the Don Stakes at the latter meeting. As a stud horse he made his best hit with Redan, who, it will be re- membered, divided the Doncaster Champagne alter @ dead heat with Lord Lyon. Mr. Edmund Tatter: im a communication pub- lished in Bel’s Liye in Bays:—“There are 1,600 stallions in Germany, the property of the government. Such a country deserves to have good cavalry. She had them when they were wanted, has got others to take the places of those lost in war, is still buying in the English markets, and has for twenty years or more been buying all our best, active, useful half- bred mares, which never ought to have been allowed to go out of the country, and would not have gone ir we had a properly managed na- tional stud. There are in Germany and Austria several large pisos studs of mares, to which are at horses got by and bred from our best thorough- red stallions, such as Bredalbane, purchased for 6,000 guineas, Ostreger for 3,000 guineas, &c, From these studs the stallions are bred which are dis- tributed over the country at the service of the farmers and breeders at a mere nominal price. In Austria the same system is pursued on a still larger scale as to the number of stallions, which in that country, I am informed on good authority, number 4,000, the property of the government, The conse- quence is that when they want horses for the cav- alry or for other purposes they can always be found and bought at a reasonable price. Where could we get 4,000 or 6,000 good horses if wanted suddenly, I will ask, and shall be glad to know, im England?’ Many will be sur- prised, I think, to hear—as must admit I was—that a great many more horses are now im- Ported into England tham are exported from jt, and that one-third, if not one- of the London job horses are foreigners. “The number of horses bred in England and Ire- land, I believe, is decreasing, while the price is fatally, rising in an alarming ratio for the uyers. Iam told that there is a tax on all mares sent out of Germany. Why should not a tax be put on ali mares to be exported from England ?” Carl Burr, of Comac, L. I., was in tewn yester- day, and reports that about thirty horses ‘in his stables are down with the prevailing epidemic. Prospero, Romulus, Wilkins, icawber, Pickwick King George and Evelina included. ‘The former, we are pleased to say, has appa- ntirely recovered. The two latter were taken. Evelina is the promising young three-year-old that received forfeit in the $5,000 match last September, and is under heavy engage- ments for next Fall. At Major Mortom’s breeding establishment at Newburg the disease has broken out in a mild form, and yesterday the horses were all doing well.

Proposed International Regatta at Syd- mey, New South Wales—American and English Crews Desired to Participate— Tho Atalanta Club of New York In- vited—They Decline the Offer—A Chance for Amateur Pours. In Augast last the Balmain Regatta Committee of Sydney, New South Wales, having discussed the idea of an international boat race, in whieh the Oaremen of the Australian Colonies might meet in friendly competition representative crews from England and the United States, addressed comma- nications, with thisend in view, to the London Row- ing Club and the Atalanta Club of this city, In their letter to the Tatter organization, which is signed by Francis Spence andy. Deloitte, Secretary and Treas- urer, in behalf of the Belmain Regatta Committee, these gentlemen advise that the project had been discussed at a monthly meeting, and it was received by those present with so much enthusiasm and 80 many liberal subscriptions were offered that the committee were at once placed in a position to agree to the following proposal :— Ifyour club, or any club or committee to which you may refer this letter, will arrange for the visit to Sydney of a crew to compete in an international boat race in the harbor on or about the 9th of November, 1873 (the day on which the regatta is usually hela), the committee will offer a prize con- sisting of four Australian trophies of the value of £200. sterling and will be. happy to contribute “towards the expenses of the competing crew the sum of £500, The following to be the conditions of the race:— 1, The race to be pulled in four-our true string test gi with coxswatne, over analt water course in Sydney. ar: bor, or on the Parramatta River, flowing into the «ime. ‘To be pulled by bona fide amateurs. $. The distance of thé race to be not less than three miles, nor longer than feur and a half miles. 4. ‘The umpire to be appointed by the Regatta Com- mlitee, and @ referee by the competing crews if they in In all other respects the committee would be willing to adopt the rules laid down for the recent Anglo-American race. We should acquaint you that we understand the term ‘* Jide amateur”? tot na puller who does not gain Tabor, and has not been in the that if our proposal is adopted the Colo- nies of Victoria, New Zealand and Tasmania, with our own, and possibly Queensland also, would put in an ap- pearance. The committee also say that (at the time of writing) it was dificult to do more than give an outline of the project, but they guarantee abso- lutely the terms indicated, and feel certain that their proponition will be accepted as in good faith, and made with only one desire—the wish to wel- come to Australia representatives of their brother oarsmen of America, of whose brilliant deeds, although not the spectators, they have been the ardent admirers, In conclusion, the committee add that they believe, on behalf of the people of Sydney and New South Wales, that if a crew be sent from the United States they would receive a hearty and enthu- silastic welcome, and no effort would he spared to make their visit enjoyable to themselves and a source of satisfaction to the oarsmen of both countries. Last Tuesday evening the Atlantics met and fully considered the above invitation, finally de- clining the offer, which is now ot to any other amateur American four. Will it be accepted ? A similar communication, at the same time, was addressed to the London Rowing Club, the officers of which in answer say that ‘the proposal of the Balmain Regatta Committee will be considered at the next general meeting of the Club, and should it be found practicable fora crew to visit Sydney they will take the greatest pleasure in availing themselves of their “kindness.” Aq ic Notes. ‘The large, floating boat house of the Gramercy Boat Club, which is now in course of construction on the southern shore of the Harlem River, is being rapidly pushed to completion. ‘The roof will be on by Saturday, and the fitting of the interior com- menced forthwith. It will be the largest and, no doubt, handsomest floating house in the United States. It is said that Ellis Ward is anxious for another match with Jonn Biglin. The latter should chal- lenge Harry Coulter, who holds the championship 80 easily won, Mr. W. A. Hamilton, who won the championship ofthe Saratoga Boat. Club recently in a two-mile sna scull race in 17:63%, defeating four com- etitors, has been presented with a very fine gold adge a8 a memento of the occasion. There is @ very laudable movement on foot to get up a furd for the erection of a suitable monu- Ment over the remains of the late champion, Walter Brown, This should at once be done, and not be lost sight of. Compare the forgetful- ness of the American oarsmen in this respect with the great work done by their Peary brethren in Memory of the late James Renforth, and should they not be ashamed that “poor Walter’s” grave has so jong: been neglected? The Harlem Navy propose getting up a regatta on the Henley plan on the Harlem River next season. The clubs enrolled under the new Amateur Stand- ard are also said to have such intentions, Their idea is to get up a grand National Regatta. THE RENFORTH MEMORIAL. In Memory of the Champion Sculler of the World—Unveiling the Monument Over His Grave—Interesting Proceed- ings. [From the London Sportsman, Oct. 30.] The monument erected over the grave of the late James Renforth, champion sculler, at St. Edmund’s Cemetery, Gateshead, was inaugurated on Monday alternoon by Mr. Thomas J. Pickett, the chairman of the Memorial Committee. Deferring to the re- quest of the cemetery authorities the committee in- tended to make the proceedings private, but a con- siderable number got to know’ of the fixture, and there was, therefore, an unexpectedly large attendance of specta- tors. Before proceeding to give a description of the monument it may necessary to explain that of the amount subscribed £170 was handed over to Mrs, Renforth, in order to commence basi- ness, and £200 has been sunk in the names of Mr. Thomas J. Pickett, Mr. John Elliott, Mr. William Blakey and Mr. Joseph J. Bagnall, ior the benefit of the Get who will receive the interest until she is seventeen years of age, when she will be- come entitled to the principal, The monument, which was designed and executed by Mr. George Burn, sculptor, Neville Arcade, Newcastle, is composed of the best Prudham stone, is 11 feet 6 inches h, the width of the base bei 8 feet, while the weight of the entire block is about fourteen tons. It 18 parallel- gram in form, being compos:d of three basement courses, on which are carved in relief the three rampant lions of England and the seven stars of America, which give an international character to the des in. On the basements is placed a large oblong die with inscription, as follows :— Erected by public subseription to the memory of James Rentorth, of Gateshead, Champion scuiler of the World, who died’ August 23, I871, aged twenty-nine years, while rowing in.an international boat race, between the Eng- lish and American crews, on the Kennebecassis River, near St. John’s, N. B. Above the inscription block is placed a sar- cophagus, surrounded with bay and oak wreaths, emblems of victory, and on the tront and back are sculptured the life-sized medallions of James Percy and Robert Chambers. The monument is sur- mounted by the historic group of Renforth falling into the arms of Keiley in the boat, and faithfully depicts the posé and expression of the circum- stances of the time, and is further enforced by the riband carved scroll round the boat, and inscribed with the appropriate text, “In the midst of life we are in death.” The whole design of the monu- ment is of great simplicity and massiveness, and in keeping With the local Doric characteristics of the’ late champion. The figures are a careful study of nature, as shown by the relaxed muscies and fading expression of consciousness of Renforth. ‘The in- tensity of seriousness and wonder, as well as the fine manly vigor of form of Kelley, give great force and character to the work, and will convey to the public a good moral lesson of the uncer- tainty of human life. Mr, Pickett, in addressing the spectators, said they were met to witness the unveiling of the mon- ument erected by public subscription to the mem- ory of their late lamented friend, James Renforth, the champton sculler of the world. As a public man and as an athlete the late champion was certainly one of the best men in his particular line that ever lived. He was conscientiously honest and straightforward; he was gentile and kind, and lived upon the best terms with every- body. It was a pleasing duty for him to have to inaugurate the monument, but the duty had also its painful no ge and that was that they uad lest a good friend and one in whom they once looked ‘up to as being abie to uphold the championship for Many years to come. The sad scene on the Kenne- becassis, which had been so truthfully depicted by the sculptor, was represented to them in the figures on the top of the monument, and the memorial would therefore remind the people in this district of the painful circumstances of the time. Asan old supporter and admirer of the late champion he had great pleasure in calli upon that gentleman who had charge of the worl to unveil a monument which was in every respect creditable to all who had subscribed to it, but doubly so to the eminent sculptor who had exe- cuted the work. (Loud cheers.) The Union Jack which covered the monument was then removed and the spectators had the Lg portunity of more closely examining the work, which on all sides was much admired, LAUNCH OF A SCHOONER, A finely modelled three-masted schooner, named the Sunny Side, was successfully launched yestere day afternoon from the yard of Mr. Jacob Ellise, Tottenville, Staten Istand.

Brief as were its utterances they were taken as 4 refutation of the doubts ex- pressed that any cable made could resist abrasion on such a surface as it was laid, or if broken that it could be recovered except by the tedious pro- coss of underrunning from both ends to the site of the fracture. .The sceptics were so far right. Week after week the steamer Investigator tried vainly to raise the wire; grapnel after grapnel got fast in the coral reefs and tnere remained, until her stock of them was exhausted, and the ship re- turned to Java unsuccessful. ‘These colonics have decided to utilize the land, line by chartering a despatch steamer to carry telegrams between Port Darwin to Banjowangie, and the service is expected to commence in Oc- tober. MAIL STEAMSHIPS SERVICE. Afew months ago I expressed an opinion that Mr. Parkes, the present Premier of this colony, ‘was one of the most strenuous advocates of a mail service to England, via California. Subsequent events have proved that I have not misjudged the man who, from the mechanic’s work bench, raised himself to the highest political position im the land. He has long since seen that the exigencies of the age demand more than a single mail route to the Old Word, and pertinaciously adhered to the intention of making Sydney the headquarters of a line which should connect Australia with the United States. The richly subsidized semi-war vessels of the Peninsular ana Oriental service have never had any encouragement, from him, however suitable it might have seemed to the British goy- ernment that the colonies should aid in creating a fleet of merchant steamers specially designed to be incorporated with the royal navy in case of war. His object is rather to establish an Australian fleet, hence the very particular specification for the vessels required on the California mail line, They are not the class of ships possessed by the Peninsular and Oriental Company, tor it was fearea that they would tender and make the interests of the trans-Pacific line subsidiary to their Indian route. But even if they try tosecure the contract they will have power- fal opponents in two colonial competitors, the most influential being the Australasian Steam Navi- gation Company, whose boats, under Hall’s con- tract, first opened the line both via New Zealand and via Fiji. The other will be almost a local pro- prietary, that is if Hall obtains the contract. Pre- suming the latter te occur, I understand that he will leave the duties of THE UNITED STATES CONSULATE to his Vice Consul, and proceed to Europe to have suitable vessels built under his own supervision, and will reserve @ portion of the company’s shares for offer to American capitalists. The government of Victoria has announced its intention to allow the overland contract to cease, as per rire ven last a direct year, and to subsidize ine, via Cape of Good Hope, as well as that proposed by Mr. Parkes. Last month the Californian mail was fifty days coming from Frisco to Sydney. Perhaps Senator Cameron will take @ note of it to be used when he next speaks on mail subsidies. The highway of the Pacific offered a grand field for the display of American enterprise, and it ought to have been exhibited instead of courting failure with such effete specimens of bygone naval architecture as the Monongo, Idaho, &c. Mr. Woods, who styles himself PREMIER OF FIJI, is at present in Sydney, endeavoring to make some financial arrangements to ree up the toy mon- archy of King T akamban, He would like to raise w loan secured on the revenues of the pingcoe, and to have @ bank with a few thousand Australian sovereigns in it established at Levaka. To secure either he would give any amount of security under as weighty guarantees as those given by the signers of the aration of Independence, with this slight difference, they had something to lose, he nothing. Mark Twain’s description of Honolulu will fade into insignificance when I narrate what I saw in Fiji a a visit I intemd paying that kingdom ina few weeks. SPECULATION IN MINING INVESTMENTS is not so rife as it was.

Insufficient capital and bad management are equally to blame for the change that has occurred. ‘the claims at Hawkins’ rielding golden quartz richer than ever, The tin mines are turning out very satisfacto- Tily, last month’s receipts being upwards of two hundred tons. Yet I do not think that any depres- sion caused in the re of this metal, in conse- quence of increased production, is likely to be rmanent. At present there are not more than lour companies possessing a true lode, All the others have merely deposits of stream tin, and very few of them are anything like as extensive as ‘was at first anticipated. Four years Ao the discovery of a deposit of gem sand in the Mudgee district led to the formation of two companies to search for diamonds. Capital Was expended and diamonds found, weighing from an induitesimal portion of a to three carats. Unfortunately for the shareholders it cost more to get these stones than they were worth, and both companies became insolvent. Nothing ‘more was heard about the diamond mines of New South Wales ‘until recently, when a lucky gold digger found a stone of twelve and a half carats among some wash dirt at Oberon. It is @ pertect octa- hedron, faultless in color, and £660 has been refused for it. ctuses BORDER CUSTOMS TARIFF. The arrangements about the border duties, an- nounced last month to have been completed with Victoria, were placed in abeyance by the unex- pected action of the government of the latter colony. When the treaty was submitted Mr. Francis declined to sign, on the ground that there were difficulties in the way which he had not fore- seen, These were stated in detail to Mr. Parkes, who replied, giving the views entertained by his Ministry, and there the matter rests sine die.

The United States steamer Resaca was at the Line Islands last month and proceeded on her cruise to the Ellice Group. The United States steamer Narragansett, Com- mander Meade, arrived here on Saturday last from acruise among the South Sea Islands. Captain Meade has been doing good service to the maritime world by carefully ascertaising the true positions of the various islands visited. He Imtorms me that grave errors exist in all the charts of the Pa- cific supplied to him, and purposes making a special report to the Navy Department, so that the United States hydrographer may rectify them as speedily as ble. Captain Hayes’ armed brig Leonora, late Water Lily and halfa dozen other numes, was seen, and the piratical career of her commander would have been cut short had the British Consul at Samoa per- formed his duty, Captain Meade found her papers all correct, bill of sale and sailing letter duly authenticated under seal and signature of the United States Consul at Shanghae, and, as there was uo charge against Hayes except on account of British courts, could not keep him under arrest. Prior to discharging him, the Commander of the Narragansett sent for Mr. Will British Consul at Apia, whose correspondence relative to Hayes’ depredations fill an English government Blue Book, and asked if he had any formal charge to make or would officially request Hayes’ detention. Wil- Hams declined to do either, and has given rise to suspicions that he is now acting in complicity with the raecal he formerly denonnced, AFFAIRS IN VICTORIA.

Comptroller Hopkins has issued the following circular :— SraTs or New YORK, COMPTROLLER’S OFFICE, ALBANY, Nov, 14, 1872. CLERE,OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE County or —: Smr—Under @ Jaw passed at the last session of the turegl incorporated into the State tax for the current year $3,500,000 of the total equalized Valuation of the State, to meet and cover the State debt or deficiency in the treasury of some $6,000," Under the authority contained in the twelfth sec- tion of the seventh article of the constitution the same islature by act, chapter 700, sprenecton the 16th of May, ‘authorized the question o! funding this debt to be submitted to a vote of the people at the lastelection. The last clause of that sectien of the constitution vides that 00 such law shall be submitted tobe voted upon within three months after its passage or at any general election when any other law or any bill or amendment to the con- stitution shall be submitted to be voted for or st. On the 17th day of May, and two days after the passage of the said act, chapter 700, the isla- ure passed anether act in direct conflict there- with, bei chapter 757, authorizing the question of an amendment to the constitution providing for the continuance of the Commission of Appeals, in Ce with oe ppocurrent re my H ORs passe Wo preceding Legislatures, gub- mitted to a vote of the people at said election. The last named act, having been passed at a sub- sequent day,gtook the precedence and virtuall repealed the act authorizing the vote on fand- ing the debt to be submitted to a vote of the people at said election, I understand that votes have been cast at the recent election for and against this funding act, and it is possible there may be a majority vote in favor of it. If such is the case it is in the opinion of the undersigned clearly unconstitutional and void. The tax must therefore be levied and collected in pursuance of the circular heretofore issued from this Department. This cir- cular is issued that there may be no misunder- standing or misapprehension as to the necessity of levying, collecting and pea the tax into the Treacy whatever may have been the vote on the question. In view of the importance of this question to the credit of the State and the healthy condition of its finances in case any portion of the State should omit or refuse to pay this tax, I have informall: submitted the question to the Court of Appeals, ail the Judges being present, and I have their author- ity to state that they unanimously concur in the views expressed in this circular. Will you pigate submit this communication to the Board of Sapervisors of your county? Very respectfully we ELSON K. HOPKINS, Comptroller. THE WASMUTH CASE IN NEWARK. At a recent session of the Newark Court of Spe- Cial Sessions, as reported in the HERALD, one Gus- tave Wasmuth, the keeper of a notorious “dive,” was found guilty of having perpetrated crimes for which he was liable to sixty-five years’ imprison® Ment and $6,000 fines. The principal crimes were those perpetrated on a young girl named Rosa Mosodorf. The prisoner is now awaiting sentence. His wife is also under indictment for being acces- sory to his crimes. In the meantime, how- ever, the prisoner’s counsel have caused the arrest of the girl om @ charge of perjury. On her examination before the police magistrate she distinctly declared that she was not a maiden, but had been and had lived with her busband, and that her true name is Fredericka Albafinna Rosaling Pauling Moosdorf Bechtler. She was lod in the county jail yesterday to await the of the Court. ——$++-.—__. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married. BIRD—BEATTY.—At Norwalk, on Thursday, No- vember 14, by the Rev.
