Despatches were received by the govern- ment this morning conveying the startling in- telligence that Marshal Concha was killed yesterday in an attack by the republican troops upon a Carlist intrenchment at Muro, about two miles from Estella. OTHER OFFICERS KILLED. The latest news at the War Office states that ‘beside Marshal Concha one brigadier and two staff officers were killed in the attack of the republicans upon the Carlist intrenchment at Muro yesterday. ‘THE BEPUBLICAN ARMY FALLING BACK ESTELLA. When the national forces learned of the death of their commander they returned to their former positions without disorder, leay- ing no trophy in the hands of the enemy. By orders from Madrid the whole army thas fallen back to Lerin, eight miles from Estella. THK NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. The command of the republican army will now be taken by General Zaballa, President of the Council and Minister of War.

Concha Shot When Leading a Charge— His Place in the First Line. Manvrm, June 29, 1874. Official despatches place the loss of the mational troops in the engagement before Estella at 1,500. General Concha, after taking Abarzuza, marched directly upon Estella. He found the ‘Carlists massed at Muro behind intrench- ments. A general charge was ordered. Gen- eral Concha placed himself at the head of the troops, taking his position in the centre of the ‘first line. While advancing rapidly with the entire line ‘he received a ball in his chest, fell from his ‘horse and died almost the instant he touched the ground. General Echagne then took command and ordered the army to retreat to Larraga and Tafalla. HONOR TO HIS REMAINS.

The spirit of the army isstill good, anda very determined feeling prevails in Madrid. Wrench VUpinion of Concha’s Aim and War Policy. Panis, June 29, 1874, The death of General Concha is considered an event of great political importance. It is believed that Concha intended to pro- claim Prince Alfonso King as soon as the campaign against the Carlists was brought to @ successful issue, and the Madrid government deeply mistrusted him. ‘Carlist Report ef the Operations at NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET, FRANO WASHINGTON. WasuHInoron, June 29, 1874 The Question of Government Before the | mastern Banks to Withdraw the Greater Part of Their Circulation Committee of Thirty. Under the New Currency Law—Prac- tieal Refutation of the Inflation Theory. Under the provisions of the new Currency bill the Third National Bank of New York will reduce ita circulation from $800,000 to $50,000, the lowest point to which the circulation of any bank can be reduced, and will receive $750,000 in bonds. The American Exchange Bank of New York with- draws $706,000 in bonds for the reduction of its Circulation. Letters bave also been received from New England banks giving notice of like intention to reduce their circulation and withdraw the bonds deposited for its security. The two pro- posed Chicago banks, with a capital of $450,000, have declined to go into operation. It will pe re- membered tnat the President recommended ta his annaal message to allow national banks to reduce their circulation on depositing lawful money and not to require the return of the notes of the bank wishing so to do. He was assured by leading bankers in New York and Boston that were this done the West and South could have all the na- tional banking currency they would need. ‘nis Was one of the reasons why he opposed expansion of the currency. What was then predicted is now being literally fulfilled. It isno longer an object for banks to secure four dollars in national bank notes with five dollars in legal tenders, as now ia the case, while bonds are sixteen and seventeen cents preminm, and only $9,000 in notes are {s- sued for $10,000 in bonds, The fact that the pro- posed banks in Chicago do not find it profitable to start under the operations of the new law, makca the cry for ‘more money”? a false alarm, The Removal of the Army Headquarters to St. Louls—General Sherman’s Position and That of the Secretary of War.

Paris, June 29, 1874. In the Committee of Thirty to-day the Constitu- tional bill, moved by M. Casimir-Perier, was re- Jeoted by a vote of 18 against 6, No vote was taken on the bill submitted by M.

The next day (Saturday) they attempted to carry by assault the heights immediately com- manding Estella. Inthe attack they failed, and were driven back in disorder. Their re- treat became a rout when General Concha ‘was mortally wounded. The total loss of the republicans in killed and wounded and missing is 4,000.

Se Gas Yesterday was the hottest day of the summer. The heat was not cOhfined to the sunny side of the street; it was everywhere, piercing even when the wind was blowing a fresh breeze. In the forenoon everybody predicted s very hot day, but there was no anticipation that such a terrible awelter was in store for the city. I one touch of nature makes the world akin, one such day as was yesterday helps to make Gothamites friendly toward each other and to let loose the sympathies which are ordinarily tied up. Dartog the early afternoon and until about four o'clock the heat was so intense that it was well nigh Impossibie to work or to do anything eise but groan. Tne poor fat men and women haa & terrible time of it, It was a most lamentable sight to see them laboring {n the throes of an agonizing per- Spiration. But toere was no fun in looking at them, for everybody had so much to do to keep cool that the touch of heat from which all were suffering produced a teeling of kindliness which was universal. The heat stuck into one’s bones, neatied there, sported there and seemed, as it wero, to take delight in laughing at the misery tt } was causing. There was no nonsense about the Weather. All were tired, fagged out, weary and de- spondent. There was no reiief, even tn lager beer. hildren suffered much.

It came too late, however, to do much good, for the heat bad already lald low nearly everybody, But still it was reireshing, and peopie were giad enough to feel, even for a while, the cool- 1og breath irom beyond the river, As the evening wore on the temperature was improved by a most welcome shower, and ut nightfall, though the dead heat was suli in the atmosphere, it was a relief whick was well appreciated.

America Holding the Same Ground as England. WASHINGTON, June 29, 1874, Arumor, and one of grave import, has pre- vailed in this city to-day, and also, it is learned hero, in New York. It relates to the recent dim- culties experienced in the intercourse between our government and that of Spain on account of the fitting out and sailing of the Cuban steamer Virginius, her capture by the Spaniards and the massacre of her crew at Santiago de Cuba. The rumor was to the effect that our government, through Mr. Cushing, our Minister +o Spain, lately arrived at Madrid, had made a peremptory de- mand upon the Castilian government for full in- demnity for the prisoners slain by order of Gov- ernor Burrtel and for the consequent bereavement and loss inflicted upon their families, This, it ts Dow ascertained, is not a mere rumor, but an absolute fact, Your correspondent to-day called upon Mr. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, and requested information upon the gubject. The Secrevary re- sponded freely but confidentially, and not as if the contingencies of the case demanded any further maintenance of delicacy and secrecy as to the | trath of the matter :— “You may say,” he said, “that the American government has made a prompt demand, and one quite as decided and peremptory as that made by the British government for indemnity for the lives of the prisoners destroyed and the iosa to their families,”” An Official Dinner to General Cushing— Rumors in Madrid. Mapxip, June M, 1874, Last evening an official banquet was given by the President of the Executive Power (as the Chief of State 1s here called), {n his palace on the Calle Alcald, in honor of our new Envoy, General Caleb Cashing. The affair was as brilliant, and, on the whole, a8 successful, as could be desired by the most patriotic on both sides, Our venerable Minister, accompanied by the about eight o’clock at tne Presidential mansion, and wasatonce ushered into the grand salon, where they were most cordially received and wel- some moments of conversation General Cushing was presented to such of the Cabinet Ministers ag he had not as yet become personally acquainted with. This over, dinner was announced and the guests passed into the salle a manger, The cloth was laid with twenty-two covers and the leading personages were disposed as follows :—At the right ofthe Duchess, General Cushing, Sefior Alonzo Martinez, Minister of Grace and Justice; General Rey, Captain General of the Province of New Castile. On the left of Mme. Serrano sat Sefior Zabala, President of the Cabinet ana Minister of War; Sefior Rodriguez Arias. Minister of Marine, famous for his gallant defence of La Carraca, near Cadiz, last year, and Sefior Moreno Benitez, Gov- ernor of Madrid. On the right of President Ser- rano sat Sefior Sagasta, Minister of the Interior; Seflor Camacho, Fmance Minister, and the Mar- quis de Sardoal, Mayor of Madrid. On the Duke's left were Sefor Ulloa, Minister of State; Seior Colmenares, Minister of Public Works; our excel- lent friend Mr. Adee, Secretary of the United States Legation, and General O’Lawior, Chief of General Serrano’s stat.

On much ofthe plate and glassware the arms of the late Queen, Dofia Isabel, were visible, and monarcnical embiems in general were not limited tothe above menu, No toasts were given snd the dinner may be charac- terized as stiff and stately, as becometh the nation that gave it. After the banquet the guests retired to the smok- ing room, and thence, in good order, repaired to the salon, whence, after an agreeable interchange of conversation, Mr. Cushing and others withdrew. It was @ quarter past ten. The papers here will have it that our Minister has received instructions to demand an indemnity of the Spanish government fn favor of the Amert- can survivors ofthe Virginius tragedy. it is certain that England ts pressing such claims, which she had heretofore held In abeyance 1m view of the situa- tion of the Spanish authorities.
