Vice Admiral Yelverton, Royal Navy, has taken the Spanish iron-clads Almanza and Vittoria from the harbor of Cartagena and sent them to Gibraltar, The insurgents made no attempt to prevent tne ‘vessels from going. BRITISH NAVAL CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE CARTA- GENA COMMUNISTS. The London Times this morning has additional details concerning the affair between Vice Ad- tmiral Yelverton and the Cartagena insurgents in elation to the removal of the above-named Span- ish iron-viads. The report reads thus:— After the Vice Admiral’s notification that at the expiration of forty hours he would take the vesselsout of the harbor, the insurgent junta of Cartagena proposed that he should pledge his faith for his government that they would be held at Gibraltar and not turned over to the Madrid gov- ‘ernment. This proposition was rejected, and the British ‘commander informed the junta that he would take the vessels to Gibraltar, and then recommend to his government that they be not surrendered until the affair of Cartagena was settied, but that he declined to give his personal guarantee on the subject. At this the insurgent leaders were very much exasperated, and the junta issued orders to the commanders of the rebel vessels to go down the bay and be prepared to resist by force the removal of the iron-clads. The English Consul prepared to leave Cartagena, and a conflict seemed unavoidable. ‘This was the condition of affairs when the cor- Tespondent sent the despatches which are pub- lished in the London Times tiis morning, probably ated to the 31st of August. To-day the telegram from Madrid which I forward ‘by cable to the HERALD announces that Vice Ad- miral Yelverton has taken the vessels and that ‘there was no conflict.

Important News from Nuevitas—The Cuban Insurgent Troops in the City and Spanish Authority Powerless—A Night of Alarm and Retirement in Good Order at Daybreak. HAVANA, August 28, 1873, As your correspondent was about closing a de- spatch for the HERALD to-day the mail, by steamer from Nuevitas, arrived, which enables me to give the following extracts from a letter, written in English:— The government is not strong enough to prevent the Cubans from coming into the city, and our lives and property are in danger or at the mercy of said Cubans. ‘They took possession of this city on the morning of the 25th, from three to five o'clock, breaking open the stores and private houses, loading carts, mules, &c., &c., with the spoils, without scarcely any molestation from the Spanish troops or volun- teers, retiring in good order at daylight, leaving one of their dead, and, I suppose, having had more, which they carried off with them; but I cannot ascertain the number, Thad to retire with my family to the top of the house, expecting every moment to hear the door of the house fall and be slaughtered with my wile and children. Our situation 1s bad because the in- surgents are still hovering about the place, and we expect every moment to be attacked again. The people abandon their houses at night and sleep on the wharves, in boats and vessels. The exact number that attacked has not been ascertained, but it is supposed that they were no less than one thousand, commanded by Maximo Gomez. I now beg of you to see if the Consul General can do anything to favor us, asI do not know if our lives will be respected. Details of the Cuban Movement Against and Attack on Nuevitas- Active Prog- ress ot the War. “HAVANA, August 28, 1873. From very confidential sources I have received complete confirmation of the special information that Nuevitas has again been entered by the in- surgents. This third entrée appears rather a more serious affair than the two previous ones, THE ATTACK is said to have occurred on the night of the 25th inst. At ten o'clock, on the night before mentioned, a strong body of insurgents under the command of General Maximo Gomez drove in the sentinels guarding the trenches at the outskirts of tne city and immediately swarmed all over the town, the smal force defending tne place, together with some Spanish marines and volunteers, taking refuge in the Custom House, which they defended, and in the taking of which the insurgents did not persist. The patriots kept possession of the city until six o’clock in the morning, in the meanwhile sacking stores, setting fire to some of tne buildings and, in short, having their own way generally. The CUSTOM HOUSE is situated on the street ironting the bay; the prin- cipal warehouses, stores, British and American Consulates, &c., are also in this street, called Calle de la Marina. It is therefore clear that the rebels had possession of the whole town. PRIVATE PROPERTY ATTACKED. According to a private letter received from Sagua la Chica, the sugar estate ‘Dos Amigos” the property of the heirs of the late Don José M. Ruiz, ‘was attacked on the night of the 18th instant by two groups of insurgents. The first group entered the front of tne plantation shouting “Viva Cuda libre!” while the second group perforated the walls in the rear of the building. A small force of mobil- ized detended the place; the fring soon attracted neighboring forces to their assistance, and the in- surgents, with their usual tactics, retired in the nick of time, carrying off with them a number of slaves belonging to the place. SPANISH COMMISSARIAT CAPTURED. A small convoy, comprising four loaded carts, ‘was captured trom the Spaniards by a band of in- surgents in the confines of the city of Puerto Prin- cipe, at the bridge Juan dei Toro, which crosses the river Saramacaguan. THE BANK OF HAVANA. The balance sheet of the Spanish Bank of Hava- na, corresponding to the 234 inst., shows that the issues on its own account has been reduced to $18,000,000; it had previously reached the sum of 20,500,000, The issue of bills for government ac- counv and for account of the bank is stated to amount to $57,825,305 40. The stock of sugar still on the island from the Jast crop ts calculated at 600,000 boxes, valued at $14,000,000, CARLISM DEFINED AS TREASON, Enrique Hompanero, one of the editors of Fl Gorro Frigio, was arrested yesterday aiternoon and imprisoned in the Carcel Nacional. The cause assigned for his arrest, according to pubiic rumor, is a paragraph published in the Tridbuno Espajiol some time since, in which the General of Artillery, Figueroa, acting Segundo Cabo of this isiand, was said to be “conspiring in favor of the Carlists.”” The Tribuno was at the time suppressed by order ot the Captain General, but has since emerged as ElGorro Frigio.

Superintendent Matsell, of the Police Depart- ment, is still hard at work in combination with the Detective Department, under the direction of Captain Irving, to arrest the three principal oper- ators m the great forged bonds case. The case is being worked up by Captains Irving and Sampson, Detective Elder and Captain Walsh, of the Seventh Precinct, Hopes are entertained that the TRINITY OF MALEFACTORS concerned in this case will be speedily brought to justice. In the meantime let it suMce to say that Superintendent Matsell holds a mysterious pris- oner at Police Headauarters whose name and an- tecedents have not yet been divulged nor probably will be for some days. The greatest anxiety exists on all hands to know who the unknown captive is The Superintendent, for the present moment, firmly and posttively declines to disclose his name, Last evening the reporter went to the residence of Mr. Matsell, in Fifty-eighth street, and was shown into his study, where the following conver- sation took place :— RerorTER—I have heard that the son-tn-law of George Howell is reported to have been in connec- tion with Johnson, late of Sing Sing prison, who came on to this city and acted as newspaper re- porter, and was discharged from his position for blacxmailing, alter wnich hoe returned to his ota profession of counterfeiting. I have also heard that Johnson has lately been seen in company with another State prison bird, and that the two are reported to have discoursed together for several hours one night. The notorious Williamson is also said to have formed part of the gathering. CHIEF—Well, at the present moment I am unable to speak positively as to the correctness of what you have heard, but I believe that your supposi- tion 18 not altogether baseless, Captain Thomas Sampson is using every effort to get to the bottom of the mystery, and, I believe, will succeed. L may be wrong in this, but I hope not, for I myself am keel the greatest interest in the effort to un- fathom the mystery. Well, we have all laid our heads together, and to-night [am most hopeful of jurther arrests, Some days the detectives would tell me, ‘‘We have apparently lost the track,” and Ihave said to them, “WELL, NEVER MIND, BOYS, you must stick to it like siuthhounds,” and I am not guilty of exaggeration when I say that the men have all worked well. When gentiemen learn of tne existence of forged bonds we try to get at the guilty parties, but there is risen slip, as you know, between the cup and the lip, but we look or keenly for the slips in the Police Depart- men THE PHIL, STANLEY GANG. Some time ago, you may remember Tom Sampson arrested Phil. Stanley for being in possession of forged Toiedo and Wabash securities, and we are now deliberating whether some o/ the gang are not implicated in the present gigantic swindles, but at all-events the arrests we hope to make Within a few hours will throw a flood of light upon the matter. Johnson, whom you before mentioned, married one of Howell's daughters, and a lieutenan in the navy married another daughter. He was called Redgauntlet on account of his red whiskers and red hand. ReErorteR—From what I gather, Chief, you be- Meve you are on the right track? Cutzr—We do, undoubtedly, and, believe me, the Matter will not be much longer in suspense. All the swindlers connected with this bond swindle have been properly “piped,” and all the necessary surveillanc: has been bestowed upon them, The Examination of “Old Brown”—He Testifies in His Own Behalt—Cross-Ex- amined by Judge Dowling—Important Testimony of &. N. Holbrook. The examination in the case of Leonard Brown was continued yesterday morning before Judge Dowling. Precisely at ten o’clock the counsel for the defence, Mr. William H. Fields, made his ap- pearance in the examination room. The prisoner Brown was brought up, and looked as usual, not only cool and collected, but calm and confident. As soon as Judge Dowling took nis seat the counsei for the defence made a motion for the dismissal of his client on the grounds that he (Brown) had only acted as a broker for Williamson, and had no knowledge of the bonds being forged. Judge Dowling denied the motion, and Brown was put upon the stand in his own behalf. He pro- ceeded to give his statement as follows: BROWN’S STATEMENT. Iam sixty-seven years old; Thursday afternoon last, between five and six o’clock, I was passing up Broadway, on the west side; crossing Chambers street some one put his hand on my shoulder; I turned around, and it was Mr. Williamson; he said he was looking for me; he asked me where he could see me the next morning; I replied “Where- ever you wish—say the Astor House at half-past ten;” I was there the next morning at at that time; Williamson came in, bought a HERALD in front and looked at quotations of the stock; made a lead pencil mark above and below the New York Central 7's, '76, quoted at 101; he wanted to know if I could borrow money on that stock; I said, “Yes, if they were correct; he then told me he wanted eighty-five cents on the dollar, and that he had thirty bonds, which would make the amount $25,500, for sixty days at one and a half per cent, to cover all, excepting one; I told Mr. Williamson, “I have*known you several months, but I wish you to give me your full name; he did so; he told me his name was Charles J.

Mr. Holbrook—He did not. Counsel—Did any one ever inform you that he knew the bonds to be counterfeit ? Mr. Holbrook—No, sir. Counsel—Please state the grounds of your belief. Prisoner—My belief is based on facts which this transaction has developed; I had not the slightest suspicion that anything was wrong until I made the discovery of the forgery; I then recollected having asked Mr. Brown on Friday, 29th of August, where his office was; he told me 82 Cedar street, room No. 8; I wrote it down on @ piece of paper, and I have it now m my book; I see that he has given in is testimony that his ofice ts 113 or 119 Broadway ; when he was arrested he gave another address; on Thursday or Friday he asked me if J knew any Lie ahd who wanted io buya good house; he e WANTED TO SELL HIS HOUSE, 110 East Thirty-eighth street; he then gave mea description—brown stone, four story high; de- scribed each floor, including all the modern im- provements, saying his lowest cash price was $30,000: I asked him if he owned the house; he said he did himself, and. that he lived there; since then [ have learned from those who claim to know him, and have known him a long time, that he is 80 poor that even the shoes on his feet have been given him by his friends; that he is in the habit of borrowing small sums of money; some months ago he brought a note for us to sell made by a firm at No. 11 Broad street; that note peeves to be made by a bogus concern, such as hey are known; another fact: before I had re- turned to my office or had informed him that I could not negotiate this loan I learned that it was the same bond on which he has made an applica- tion to a neighboring banker for a similar loan; about ten days ago he asked me if I could BORROW A TIME LOAN on $20,000 or $30,000 of Buffalo, New York and Erie first mortgage bonds at 75; 1 told him if his cus- tomer was ail right and the bonds were all right and he would bring him in so I could see both I could negotiate a loan at about 70; he asked me it it was necessary for me to see the party and the bonds; I told him It was; 1 wanted to make a thorough investigation for mysel!; he did not bring me this business, though he spoke to me twice about it, I giving him the same repiy on both oc- casions, 9 Is that all?

Mr. Fields asked for an adjournment till to-day to call witnesses as to character, The Judge informed counsel that he would allow witnesses to give their testimony, but did not think it would prove of much avail as far as he was concerned. He said he had already expressed his views in reference to the question of character. The proceedings were then adjourned till one o'clock to-day, Interview with Lambert in the Tombs, The reporter had an interview with Mr. Lambert, the stockbroker, a prisoner in the Tombs, who made the following statement :—~ Leonard Brown, who is in custody here, ts, to the best of my belief, an honest man and a resident in this city for the past forty-two years. He formerly belonged to the firm of Hallett & Brown, and when it suspended payment “old” Brown, a8 they now choose to call him, to pay his debts. took $100,000 of his wile’s money. Mr. Isaac T. Holbrook, of the Astor House, en- trusted him with the sale of about $60,000 in notes, and I tried to help Brown, unsuccessfully, how- ever, to dispose of them. Colonel James Decatur Potter introduced Wil- liamson to me as a broker, who had large connec- tions among country people, and who did a large business in selling and purchasing stock for them. 1 took a dislike to Williamson on account of his de- ceiving me twice, for when @ man acts a double part tome I am no longer his friend, ‘The following is a written statement of Mr. Lam- bert’s opinion about Brown :— THE STATEMENT.

No Jersey Central Bonds Seen. The reporter called at the offices of the New Jersey Central Railroad Company, No. 119 Liberty street, late yesterday afternoon. The treasurer welcomed him, and, in answer to the inquiry as to whether any forged bonds of that company had made their @ppearance, replied that he believed the rumor @rose from the confounding of the New York and New Jersey Centrals. He said that he had not Seen any and did not believe any fraudulent bonds were in existence, “NO FELLER GAN FIND OUT." The President of the Guarantee and Idemnity Company regarded the entrance of the HeraLp reporter with something like astonishment. He endeavored to impress upon the young man that the question as to whether that company had become possessed of any bad bonds or not was strictly @ matter of the company’s own business, He gently insinuated, in language devoid of any ambiguity, that it was not the business of the HER- ALD, which every morning addresses 4 large num- ber of the aforesaid company’s patrons, to inquire regarding the financial standing of the in- stitution, He deciared that the an- noucement that the company held 60,000 fad been without any ‘authority m him, Tne HkRALD reporter now felt sure ofit. The President did not deny that the com- Pany held forged bonds, but said that all the secu- Tities in their possession were under examination,. at the end of which he would be able to tell. He did not say that he would give the public the facts, but that he might be able to. The reporter is anx- lous to give the correct idea, Western Union Bonds. The Treasurer of the Western Union Telegraph Company declared to a reporter of the HERALD that so far not @ single forged bond on that corporation had been found. He stamped the rumors current on the streets as greatly exaggerated. He stated that vast numbers of the bonds had been exam- ined since the exposure of the New York Central forgeries. but that, so far, among all that had been presented at the ofice for identification of the seals and signatures, not one piece of forged paper had been found. ‘here may have been forged bonds prepared, but it Is very doubtful if they found a market; at least they have not turned up as yet, Temporary Suspension in Wall Strect. Messrs. Haskeli & Braine, brokers, of No. 12 Broad street, Who, as it is alleged, held $70,000 worth of the forged bonds, suspended business yesterday, temporarily, it is rumored, A Curious Rumor. An ugly report has been spread that a number of city and county bonds have been forged between the Flagg and the Tweed régime; but up to the time of going to press it can be traced to no authen- tic source, Defrauding Uncle Sam. Yesterday afternoon a reporter spoke with Mr. G. W. Marlor, of the Sub-Treasury, in Wall street, to whom belongg the credit of having first detected the forged $500 bills which are now in circulation. The gentleman in question said, “We have exam- ined the $15,000,000 which we have in this building and all are found to be genuine. I have heard to- day that forged $500 bills have been re- ceived by the Fourth National Bank, Messrs. Duncan Sherman, the bankers; the Park Bank and several other banking institutions, The imi- tation 1s really admirable. The white characters on the back of the bill are, however, somewhat blurred by green, while in the genuine notes the white tint is periect. It is reported, on what au- thority 1cannot vouch, that an immense number of these bilis are tu circulation, and that they have come irom the West. Upto the present moment. we have only heard of them in bankers’ hands. Within a few days, however, we shall probanly see further developments in these couaterfeits,” Adjournment of the Johnson Case Till Thursday Next. It being made known that James H. Jobnsdn, a Williamsburg lawyer, who was arrested just as he touched New York soil on Sunday last, on a charge of being concerned in the utterance of a large amount of counterfeit coupon bonds of the Buffalo, New York and Erie railroads, was to be brought up for examination at Essex Market, drew a large crowd of idlers, lawyers and pressmen, eager to obtain a glance at the agent of the counterfeiters. Johnson, who was brought trom the Seventeenth street precinct station im charge of two detectives, was placed at the bar at half-past two P. M., woen his counsel expressed his readiness to proceed with the case. An ad- journment was had, however, on a note from District Attorney Phelps, stating that since the arrest of the accused the authorities have become possessed of new facts of a serious character against him, which demanded a delay of a few days at least, Justice Shandley adjourned the case till Thursday next. Meanwhile the prisoner will remain at the Seventeenth precinct station. Johnsen is a robust, good-natured looking fellow, about five feet four, has laughing eyes, and, altogether, does not appear to be a bad man; but those who have known him from his childhood say his bland smiles are deceptive, and that he is just the man to carry out any scheme, no matter how daring, 80 long as he profits by it. Johnson has a liberal education and is very respectably connected; but jor a number of years, consequent upon his conduct, he has been estranged from his family. He does not seem to be much affected by his incarceration, and held a long and earnest conversation with his counsel, during which he frequently laughed heartily, New Rules for the Stock Exchange. The following proposed application to the Gov- erning Committee of the New York Stock Exchange will be suggested within afew days, and will, in all probability, be unanimously accepted, it being on all hands agreed that a change of basis in buy- ing and selling stocks is imperatively demanded :— In addition to present methods of buying ana selling stocks, members may bay and sell, “lor account.”” the Ist and 18th of each month shall be settling day: for all transactions “ior account.” Whenever the regu lar settling day occurs on Sunday or any legal holiday it shall be deterred to the next regular business day. (,) tach new acco int shall commence three business days prior to the ist and 15th of each month. Interest on accounts running three days er over shall accrue to the seller at the rate of six per cent per annum, fo be calculated by days, according to bank usage. ‘Mutual deposits, if called for by either buyer or seller, shall be made according to provisions of article P jaws. (2) Incase of default on part of any sel- unt’? to satisiy his contract with two o'clock ‘of settling day, the shall proceed to have the ‘stock ought in according to provisions of article 25 of bylaws, iv being conditioned, however, that the officer of the Board shall clove the contract at a difference of ten per cent from sale price, without interest calculation, unless he can buy at or within that limit. Notk 1.—The object of having the new account com- mence three days prior to closing of old account, is to furnish suflicient time, at periods of great speculative activity, for renewal ‘contracts or offsets prior to final settlings. "She object of the limitation clause is to pre- nically strous to nye, and, in ulti- mate results, generally as disastrous to those orzanizin them as to ‘their victims. Reference to quotations of stocks tor a long series of years will show that the ave- Tage range is inuch less than ten per cent every fifteen days and that the limitation ciause would be’ precau- tionary rather than of frequent use.

Davis, on Pennsy!vania avenue, resulting in the death of a man named John Martin.

The defiance and derisien wita which the world has treated the pilgrimages im Italy, Germany, Beigium and France 1s an explicit reason for the Catholics of England to claim their share also in their inheritance of our common cause. Moreover it will be a witness to the power of prayer, whicn has of late, like all other super- natural jacts, been tossed to and iro in the hands ofour men of culture. Lastly, it will not fail to hasten the day when the reign of wrong shal cease, The present state of ‘Hurope cannot last long; and men wiil find that they will have to pag dear for tne dishonor they have heaped upon the Vicar of Jesus Christ.

The various rooms were brilliantly Uluminated, and the spectators were charmed- with the gorgeous scene, The tickets for the grand tourney of the Knights Templar at the Academy and Agricultural Halls during the dedica- tion week were limited to 3,000, and have been already distributed. ‘fhe demand for tickets is se great that 10,000 could be disposed of, and it is aug-- gested that the affair should be repeated during. the week, so as to avoid disappointing the many who desire to attend. PHILADELPHIA DEMOORATIO NOMINATING CONVENTIONS. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 2, 1873. The nominating conventions of the democratia party passed off quietly to-day.
