MADRID, March 25, 1873. fhe day before yesterday, in the afternoon, I calied at the palace that has been inhanited in turn by Serrano, Sagasta, Zorrilla, and which is now oc- cupied by Don Stanislaus Figueras, President of the Spanish Republic, be the same federal or other- wise. This palace, agitated at varions periods in its history by so many cabals and conspiracies, 1 found just now as calm as the Castle of Indolence. Outside there was only the careless crowd that passed and repassed in interminable promenade, At either side of the vestibule was the ordinary sentry box, and in one of these boxes Was the ordi- nary civic guard, smoking his monotonous cigur- ette and crossing his arms, not appearing in the least proud of the increased importance due to the fact that both sentry boxes were in his charge. In the stairway with double balustrade there was not even that man that is always going up every great stairway, nor yet the other usual man that is ys coming down. In the ante- chamber there was only one usher, doubled up ina corner, over a brasier—that brass dishful of coals and ashes, that fills in this country the place of a stove in colder climates, smoking also the monotonous and eternal cigarette of the Madri- lenos, No one stopped me, No one made any m- quiries, No one even looked threateningly, and I arrived at tne grand waiting room, done in white and gold (the room, not me), with evergrown arm- chairs, like aldermen in night shirts, their glories of satin or reps hidden for the time in white mus- lin covers, as if the custodian of the palace and the furniture looked upon the period of the Republic as the careful house- keeper looks upon the dull Summer months when the tamily is out of town, and was resolved tosave his satin till the monarchy should come again. Fiiteen others were there, also awaiting the President, who, it was said, would be in at four to half-past. Every one of the fifteen was in one of the overgrown arm-chairs, which was quite natural; but what was less to be expected, though quite characteristic, was that the larger number were smoking here in the waiting room, and smok- ing With energy too, asii they jancied thatthe period during which people would be iree to smoke in this place might be shert, and they ought to improve the time. Some that did not smoke slept, and seemed to throw a certain energy even into that passive occupation. At half-past four exactly the President came in, passed across the smoke-thickened atmosphere and entered his little room, the door of which was opened by an usher, who dexterously hid behind him his flagrant cigarette, with an instinctive re- spect for authority. Persons waiting to see the President were received with lite formality, being called by a number, just asin a barber shop. Re- publican simplicity can no further go, The numbers | had come to each visitor in the order in which lis | name had been inscribed that morning on the list of persons desirous of visiting the President. I ‘was number three and my turn came soon, Sefior Figueras came jorward as the door opencd and grasped my two hands warmly. Isaid:—*Permit me to thank you, Inthe name of the Universal Republic, tor what you have done in founding tne Repuplic in Spain.” “Ah! you did not believe it cvuld happen,” he said. “You would not have credyed it though Ihad affirmed it to you with all the psWer of asseveration I possess, as indeed I did aflipf it to some of your friends in France in January/ast.” “On the contrary,” I safd, “I have always be- lieved that the republic in Spain must cume sooner orlater, One must be a republican like tic repub- licans of the Thiers republic to have dowyted that; but I miit have differed with you ay J have with many Others touching the period wen tine woule be ripe for the cryaravanta Talwoys believed that it would come, and was at last taken by surprise.” “Weil,” he said, “ochers had not the same per- ception, Three honths ago I was in Paris, and was invited to dinner at the house ef Laurent Pichat, a learned man, With a fine library, 1 was to meet there a number of Deputies. Ar Tam not fond of these dinners I only went ip time jor the cotfee. I found there Geut, Hajuet, Gambetta, quinet and otners. ‘Ah,’ said one of them tome, “if you would establish the Repubiic in in we would get rid or our Commission of Thirty in a hany, and of some other things also.’ Isai to them, tentiemen, in less than two months Iyive you my werd of honor the Republic will be procidimed in Spein, and I hope firmly established.’ Well, it came’ within the time.

Hercuyon | expressed to the President rather suygestively than distinetiy my fears for the consolidation o1 the Republic, menaced as it is by the activity of the Carlists on one land and the obstinate clamor of the “irreconcitables”? on the other, with its army in open mutiny and its treasury empty. SOME SANGUINE Hor He said—“The dissolution o1 the sigual for the surrender the irreconcilabies and the e i‘ confess I could not see how the event named to have the effeet he anticiy was rather i clined to the thought that the dissolution of th Cortes, the interregnum between the end of and the creation of another Parila' the Cortes; and on the day when, without a word to Castelar or to Py, [Lrought over to the support of the Republic Rivero, the concentration of Fasli- cal uncertainty, and the Generals Lagunero and Hidalgo, the only soldiers appointed by the radi- cals, the existence of the Republic was assured, 1d the purpose and mission of /niransigentt was accomplished,” I could not but see tliat the President was either trying to keep me at the surlace of Spanish politics or satistying himself with a very superficial view of the diticulties before him, “As for our empty treasury,” he said, “we shall find strictly republican means to replenish it, and our vanishing army will reappear in @ better form as a national militia,” “You see,” he added, as he rose in sign of giving me con ‘we are very democratic in our man- ners here; we have the spirit; we need only to change some few forms. Express jor us our deep- est thanks to your great Republic for the rocogni- tion of her Iberian sister,” And with this I jeit, reflecting upon this picture of a sanguine President and his empty treasury, to be filled in a republican manner, his army to be made up of all the vagrants of Spain, who go to the colors because just now the best thing the colors epresent to them is rations, and the Cariists and is to be exercised by the dissolution of the Cortes, How easy government must be then! POSITIONS OF THE SEVERAL PARTIES. Some indications are already seen oi the manner which the irreconcilables view the situation, ‘They have placarded the walls with roseate posters, inviting their friends to attend electoral Lescago le ‘They fight desperately for the next innings in the coming Congress, ‘The conservatives, on the other hand, have as yet given no public indication of their intended course of action, Yesterday 1 “interviewed” a leading conservative, and learned that Marshal TaNO Will come up asa candidate at the new Jection, but with respect to other notabilities nothing is as yet determimed, The conservative party evidently intends to play a waiting game, t declares itse!! afraid neither of the radicals nor republicans, as the up and middle classes will support order at every sacrifice, As most of the leading families are conservatives, the trading com- munity will naturally side with them, for commercial prosperity caunot be enjoyed without the estab- lishment of public tranquillity, The conservatives insist that the Republic would never have been proclumed but for the treason of the radicals, who have invariably ruined every cause they have espoused; and this increases their confidence, ‘The conservative with whom I conversed yester- day declared to me that he had warned King Amadeo of his danger, and that had the King re- mained in the hands of Serrano, or even of Sagasta, he would still be on the throne of Spain, which would have descended to his son, ‘But,”” said my informant, “immediately he fell into the hands of the radicals his fave was sealed, as will be also that ot the present government,’ if the conserva- tives withdraw their counteracting influence, ‘The radicals are continually intriguing. They intrigue now against the Republic as they formerly did against the monarchy. The conservatives hold the Key to the position. ey have, since the abdi- cation of the King, acted straightforwardly. When the Republic was proclaimed they saia to the pres- ent government—“Above all, we are patriots. We re, itis true, at heart monarchists; but we will loyally support you in the cause of order.” In the permanent Commission the conservatives form, With the republicans, an overwhelming majority, which will keep the radicals in check, Serrano has kept himsel! aloof from politics since the deciaration of the Republic. He tucn declared he would not attempt to disturb the country by vexatious opposition, and be has kept his word, With respect to federalism, into which the Repub- lic is apparently drifting, the conservatives do not trouble their heads, They deciare that there are no federalists 11 Spain, That Catalonia is not federalist but “International;” that the goverp- ment must sooner or later crush or be crushed by the demagogy; but that no step can be taken by the lormer until it has a reorganized army where- with to awe Barcelona, With Catalonia the task will be easy, but with Barcelona the struggle wil be flerce. “Before the elections are held the con- servatives hope to make with the government an arrangement that will secure in the Chamber a conservative republican majority. No doubt the result of the elections will be a iederal triumph to all outward appearances, but it is quite as clear to those who see tarough the elections in spain that the greater number of Deputies returned as fede- ralists will be moderate republicans, A FORGOITEN PARTY. As to the Carhsts, my conservative friend does not seem to recognize temas a party, though inmy humble opinion what ts going on i Catalonia, Na- varre and Guipuzcoa is an argument ugeinst him, People, however, do not know Don Carlos. His cause tsa tradition and scarcely a living reality, butit oc- cupies & dangerous position, It is the thing that stands for positive power, strong autiority, religion and the repression of the “dangerous classes.” It is therefore in the direction in which that party stands that the public mind will move , communism and the petroleum side of repul ives, and with our recent experience it seems too likely they may.

Why Vanderbilt Allowed His Relatives To “Go Under”—The Rumors Which Flew Around— Interview with Mr. Barton—He Hopes To Be Able to Recover—Three Other and Small Failures During the After- noon—Scenes in the Stock Ex- change and on the Street. If there is anything in financial history whch can equal “Black Friday” (a day from which all comparisons must start) it would be the scene which took place yesterday in the Stock Exchange, There were not, to be sure, the same number of failures, nor was there the same universal over- weighting of the grief produced by ruin, but for in- tense excitement, for frenzied madness the scene yesterday was fully equal to that which char- acterized that great day on ’Change. The HERALD of yesterday morning prognosti- cated that the day would not pass without a great rise in stocks or a panic, One or the other was necessary and inevitabie to relieve the suspense, felt not only by the financial men, brokers, bank: ers, &c., but by the community at large. The rise did net come, but the panic did, It is not dificult to see the causes which operated to throw the dormant panic into active being, The money market bas never been more stringent than within the past few days—we might say the past few weeks. During this time hardly a day has passed that money has not been quoted at a quar- ter above the legal rate of seven per cent—taat is to say, at the rate of about seventy-five per cent per annum, Offers three-eighths, one-half, tive- eighths and three-quarters per cent have been given for money for a single day’s use, and some- times even money has been lent from one to another on such interest as one per cent aday, It became ve! at as this stringency con- tinned something must happen to relieve the mar- ket. Speculators and brokers grew more and more anxious every day, and at last matters reacied a climax. This was yesterday. SYMPTOMS OF A PANTO, The street was in a ferment more or less all day. As the day wore on it became more and more ap- parent that something out of the usual way was preparing. Things were feverish and unsettled, and there was the same heaviness in the air of finance as there is in the Summer atmosphere pre- ceding a storm. Nobody seemed to have any definite idea of what he wanted to do. All were scared and fought shy, Even the most Solid men appeared to have forgotten their usual cunning, and did not want to take risks when all announced that the then present state of the mar- ket might be turned upside down inside of an hour, THE STORM BREAKS.: At two o'clock it was announced in the Stock Exchange that the firm of Barton & Allen had failed. ‘The news was so sudden, 80 astounding, so un- expected that for a few moments no one appeared to realize the intelligence. The boisterous change, the scene of so many hard battles, was still as a fleld after the battle was over. But it had not begun, The stillness lasted perliaps ten seconds, and then all together, instantaneously, as if by a common accord, ina magnificent ensemble broke out 500 discordant shouts, and, what with the wild rushing around, tie raps of the gavel, the chick of the telegraph and the banging of the doors, as the crazy 3 from outside rashed in | to hear the intelligence, one could readily imagit | that some splendid entre repeti had been at. va: expense to reprouuce to the life some infernal | sceve of Dante’s poem. But the reality was a thousand tines worse than apy mock representa- tion ceuld be, ‘The tranquil and ignorant spectator in the gal- lery must have been aroused from his caim leth- argy of contemplation at this BABYLONIAN SCENE and have wondered t it alt meant. There were the well-dressed, gorgeous!y-jewelled forms of the financial men rushing abvont shaking their arms wildly as they made some ofer or some bid, and sirieking so that human voice seemed to be But the extent of the results which were operated in these few moments Which followed the announcement of the panic cowd give some better idea of what all this did mean than the mere witnessing of it. The fact Was that, within the space of half an hour, the values of the country had dropped about twenty- five millions of qcollars irom what they were before that time, Union Pacific, one of the strong stocks, it was thought by many fell about eight per cent—that 1s to say, from 32% to 25. The biggest tail was that of West ern Union, always one of the speculative stocks, which fell from 84 to 76, Then sollowed @ lot of others, New York Central 101 to 9s, Lake Shore from 91 to 88!s, Rock Isiand trom 107% to 10444, Wabash 63 to 62, Ohio 434 to 41, and others too numerous to mention, There was hardly a stock in the street that did not suffer more or less from the panic which took hold of the Stock Exchange with such insane tury. During the remainder of the afternoon, as will be seen eisewhere, the mar- Ket fluctuated more or less, and closed with a slight rally, mainly caused by the fact that the money market eased up. But for all the dabbling in stocks Ubat was done after the panic feeling among all was one of intense insecurity and uncertainty, and there {s little doubt bat that the market will open with a feverish tendency to- THE CAUSE OF THE PANIC, It may seem very strange to the readers of the HERALD who do not irequent Wall street that the failure of one house in the street should be the cause of so much trouble as took place “ change. But there was more than thisinit, 1 N | Was acombination of iufluences at work. Those | who had been short ef stocks wave been endeavor- ing to push prices down. Money has been tight, and stocks have been hard to carry. When, there- fore, a wi that of Barton & Allen failed, aud it was known they had gn linmense amount of stocks on hand, the tendency as to send things down, but when their stocks came flooding into the market of course stocks Went down witha rust, and all those who Were “long” of Stocks suflered, Barton & Alien, in two words, had carried more stocks than they were able and had te Knoc z B FAILURE, But what added a tinge of rom to the failure of this house is that it Was generaily supposed to be ove of the brokerage firms of Cornelius Vander- bit, Mr. barten Was a nephew, and Mr. Allen a grandson of the old Commodore, and the ties of | jamily nad always been supposed so strong be- tween the old genitiemen and his relatives that he id on no account allow aly of them to go to the Wall, Butin this case the result was not as had been expected. The Commodore did allow his rela- tives to go to the wall, and several explanations | were given of lis course in the matter, WHY CUMMUD( MILT ACTED AS TTB DID, Momust be uu the HERALD tells these matters, they but bear a stron known that sey With Bis son-in-law, Mr, Horace | F reason of this Was stated to be that | the Commodore objected to his Jative’s specu lating ia Western stoeks, particularly when they were fancy stocks, Mr. Clark is said to have an alle on for the: Westeri stocks, and dissolved connection with the “old man. ‘the younger members of the family sided with Mr. Clark aud atandoned the Commodore, Hut the day came when the younger sh of the parent oak, and t i nourishment i ite It wo that when t Allen went | into tl they had promised to induige im Ho speculation on their ewn aecount, but solely to do @ commission busit On tuis condition only did the Cominodore consent to give the young firm some of his trade, So it went on for some time, seized upon thi young men (both of them were weil liked in the street), and they went it “on their own hook” and made the commission business a side issue, Then the day O failure seemed inevitable, and ey Weut to the Commodore, Hut they had gone outside of lis order W them over. AS this story came trom exceilent authority it seems a very sone, But the EXTRAORDINARY OF ALL THE STORIES obtained @ great deal of credence from many brokers. As Jay Gould's name is always connected With every excitement which goes on in Wali street, of course he could not escape so rich a one as this, 7 ory Went that Jay Gould and Commodore Vanderbili joined hands’ a good while ago to speculate in the street, They bought up a great deal of Union Pacilic , in fact, loaded themselves with it. But the Commodore wanted to “play sharp” noon his partner, got his reta- tives, Bartor & Alien, to Duy bis ‘Union Paeltic, and then allowed them to fail, all for tie purpose vl brewking Jay Goud, While Lue siory would cex* tainly be no novelty as to Wall street doings It was not very well substantiated, The main tact which gave it color was that Osborn & Chapin, the part- hers of Jay Gould, were the only parties who con- sistently bought up all the Umon Pacific they could. ‘Tais would be, of course, a game on Gould’s part to protect the stock and keep it up in vaiue, if only he ts able to carry such an immense amount. ‘There is little doubt but what he 1s, however, if, a8 reported, be is aided by Horace F, Clark, - THE STORY OF A CHECK. On Tuesday aiternoon Messrs, Barton & Allen gave the firmof Fearing & Dellinger a check, some Bay for $12,000, while Mr. Dellinger himself says that it was only for a trivial sum. check was deposited in the Bank of New Yerk at too late an hour to have it certified. The check went through the Clearing House, says Mr. Dellinger, but was returned to the firm yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, because Of payment being refused, This singular story, while being perfectly true, raises the grave question whether the Bank of New York is responsible or not for the amount of the check, Mr, Dellinger seems to believe that the bank certainly is responsible, and many brokers think s0, too. AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. BARTON. Yesterday alternoon, some time alter the failure had been announced, @ HBRALD reporter called at the office of Barton & Allen, Mr. Barton expressed a perfect willingness to see the reporter. ‘Sorry to trouvle you, under the circumstances,” said the reporter, “but as there are a thousand diferent reports around the street about your house it Was better to get the thing right than wrong. i “I shall be very happy to inform you of anything in the matter,” said Mr. Barton, “What was the cause of the tailure?? “Weil, we were overloaded with stocks and thought we could carry them; but the stringency of the money market has been too much for us and ‘we were obliged to fail.” “Is the report true that Mr, Richard Schell was the gentleman who iorced you into this, you having a great amount o! his stock on hand?” “No; the report is false. ‘The fact 1s that Mr. Schell was not even a customer of ours, and we did no business with hum whatever’? “Then, were the stocks you carried entirely on your own account?” “No; we have had several heavy customers who are interested in the matter, but we were also very heavily interested ourselves in Union Pacitic, Western Union, Ohio and other stocks, and are heavy losers, It is no use concealing that.’ “The street, Mr, Barton, seems to think it very strange that Commodore Vanderbilt did not stick by you. of suppose you know he is @ relation of ours, Mr, Vanderbilt had stuck by us we shouldn’t failed. But he would not.’? Vere you doing any business with him ?7 ne whatever, lately.’ a you let me know the names of the customers who were to some extent the cause of the down fall? * “This isa matter of confidence which I dare not violate.” “What hopes blow 7" “We can’t tell as yet, It depends altogether upon how the other brokers treat us, If they are Willing to accept a settlement of so much on the doilar, I have no doubt we can get on our feet agaia; but if they exact to the last cent I am alraid we shail nov recover, “Do you kuow what will be the basis of your settlement?” “1 donot. Weshall have to go over all our books to find that out.” “Do you know what are your liabilities?* “| have not the shghtestidea, It will require extended examination betore we can tell,” ‘The reporter left and went over to Mr, Boocock's office to learn any particulars he could give of the atlair, IN EW WITH 8. W. BOOCOCK, Mr. Boocock said he knew it was false that Richard Schell had been at ali instrumental in the downfall of Barton & Allen, Richard Scheil traded with him, and, instead of losing, had come out about six per cent ahead on his speculations at the panic. Mr. Boocock said that the reason Mr, Van- derbilt did not help his relations was that he cared no more about his relations in business than he did for any one else, and that, though he had done business with Barton & Allen, he disliked their speculation. This, said Mr. boo- cock, was simply what lie had heard, He believed Messrs. Barton & Allen would be on their feet again shortly. They were both gentlemen of means, und had money outside of their business, He thought that the panic would be generally very beneticial to Wali street, and would make money easy hereatter, but that the time when money was usually tight had gone over, and that now the country settlements were through plenty of money would flow back to Wall street. He thought the amount of currency was too little lor the business ol the country. Several small nounced yesterday. ve you of recovering from this failures in the street were an- C. A. Otis, H. A. Foster and H. Morse’ failed @uring the afternoon, and for siuall sums, it was supposed. They are counted among the “nabituals,” and their failures caused no excitement whatever among the financier Barton & Allen's liabilities are reported to be $209,000.

Your correspondent intended visiting the United States steamer Juniata before she sailed from her anchorage near the city, but upon inquiry this morning he found that the Juniata had leit for the lower roads yesterday aiternoon with a band of music on board and a party of ladies and gentle- men, guests of Commander Braine, who gave them a sail to the compass station. Upon inquiry I found that from the Navy Yard a tug daily takes to the Juniata her mail, and in the pelting rain to-day I visited the ship for awhile, to find all on board much disappointed that the bad weather prevented the ship's going to the buoy station, a gale being hourly expected, and sure enough, by the time I got back to the Navy Yard it was and is now blow- ing, Snowing and raining in good Winter style in the very lap of Spring. I found the Juniata ail ready in every particular for her sounding cruize, but at this time under orders to Newport to make a series of torpedo experiments at the Naval Torpedo Station at that point. She has two sets of torpedo appliances in her bow an’ quarter to test which is the best tor the torpedo spar used {rom these parts of the ship. In the gangways of the ship I found long piles of rope fur sounding, and upon the forecastie an apparatus for reeling off and winding up the sound- ing line. Upon the huge reel there can be wound over four miles of line, and it passes trom this reel over a drum, which records the revolutions, and each revolution is twenty-four feet of line. ‘The strain is also shown upon a simple apparatus in winding up, and guides for the line extend over the bow to carry the sounding line clear of the ship. A pair of engines are placed beside the drum to reel up the line after the soanding is optained, As soon as the present gale of wind is over, the Juniata goes to the compass buoys, and after pre- paring her compass for sea, she will proceed to Newport, Rhode Island, Her oficers are :— Commander—D, L. Braine. Lieutenant Commander-—F. N. Kellogg. Lieutenants—G, W. Deiong, J. FB. Merry, E, P. McClellan, E. W. Chipp. Ensigns—W. F. Buckley, 8. W. May, B. Leach, Midshioman—J, J. Hunker.

C, Trimble, of Newburg, has sold A. Mc- Cue, of Brooklyn, a five-year-old bay stailion, sired by Hambletonian. The price was not made public, but it is understood to be a very high figure, Tuesday morning opened beautifully at Mon- mouth Park, the sun shining brightly and the track in capital order, About eight o’clock Mr. Chamberlin’s horses, under the charge of their trainer, D. Pryor, Jr, made their appearance on the track, and, aiter walking half an hour, trotted a halfmile, They then walked awhile, and, after a preliminary canter, Impe- cunious, Wheatley, True Blue, Survivor, Brennus, Lord Jersey and Galway were sent a three-and- a-half mile sweat, after which they all galloped a mile in the order named, all pulling up sound and well, looking and going first class. Mary Constant Was out in the afternoon, and, after her prelimi- nary canters, galloped two miles at a nice pace, pulling up fresh, sound and well, and looking first class. The two-year-olds—namely, the Hoaxer, Visigoth, Carlina and Weathercock—were taking healthy exercise, all looking and going well. COMPTROLLER'S RECEIPTS.
