WasHINaTon, Sept, 27, 1874. The National Bank Redemption—Causes of the Temporary Suspension—Re- demption To Be Resumed at an Early Day. The statement that the suspension of the Na- tional Bank Redemption Agency is likely to be permanent is pronounced to ve without iounda- tion, The temporary stoppage of redemptions springs entirely from the (uct that the iaw, re- quired redemptions to begin at once before any Preparations for asserting the redeemed money could be made. Nearly $12,000,000 of the original five per cent deposit of $17,500,000 were exhausted belore the assortment could be got under way. As the Treasurer cannot call upon the banks to reimburse bim for bis redemptions of their notes | until the notes are assorted the agency had really only about $5,500,000 to run upon after tt was lairty started. The gap was too great to be closed and a temporary stoppage was Inevitab.c. AB s800n as the lost ground is regained redemp- tions will be resumed, and there is no likelthood | that another stoppage will ever be necessary. The force 1s now nearly large enough to handie the work as it comes in, and ts dally becoming more expert, There is no essential difficulty in carry- ing out the provisions of the law, and the embar- Tassments which have been met with are only those incident to the starting of any new ma- chinery. Uniess there shall be an unexpected in- crease in redemptions the five per cent deposit will hereafter be ample for the purpose. The man- agement of the agency meets with very general ap- Proval from bankers, and, notwithstanding some | adverse criticism from the press, not a word of complaint or censure has emanated from the | banks, | The statement that the force employed ts exces- sive is equally groundless. The number of em- ployés, in proportion to the work performed, compares very favorably with the foree employed in assorting houses under the old State laws, while the precautions against mistakes and dis- honesty are much greater, and the nature of the work much more difficult, on account of the | greater number of banks and the similarity of their notes and titles. The most expert account- | secured, many of them from other cities. A very large proportion of the force has been taken from banking houses where they were employed on | similar work, An anxious desire has been shown to secure competent persons, and every such per-. son who has presented timeelf has been accepted, without regard to any etNer consideration than fitness for the work. The United States and Mexican Claim | Commission—Prospect of an Early Set- | tlement of All Claims, | | It is ascertained, on inquiry at the United States | and Mexican Commission, that of the over 2,000 claims presented about 390 are unadjudicated. | These, however, are under consideration, many of | them having been argued and being in the hands | of the commissioners. Much delay of business has been caused by attorneys, who have, in some cases, failed to comply with the necessary re- quirement of proofs, and by the changes in the Mexican Commissionership, three several ap- pointments having been made in that office by the Mexican government. Our government retains the commussioner, Judge Wadsworth, firat appointed. Sir Edward Thorn- ton, the umpire, though in England for eral months past, has forwarded to the Commis- | sion decistons on various cases in which the com- | missioners were unable to jointly agree. It is expected he will return to Washimgton about the 15tn 0. October. The commissioners, both being here, are closely engaged on the business before them, Sir Edward Thornton says that he will act promptly on all subdjects which may be presented to him, and, generally, there isa disposition to close all mai- ters before the commission within the time re- maining Jor the termination of the commission, | namely, the 3lst of January next. Although nearly 400 cases are waiting final ad- judication, many of these are arranged in classes, and the decision im one such case will determine the question of the principle involved in otuers; thas the necessity of an elaborate opinion in each case will be avoided. Under these circumstances no movement has as yet been made looking to a further extension of | time for the settlement of the remaining business of the commission.

Lshail not fail to m THE SWAKESPEARIAN PORTRAITS. Opinions of Scholars Upon the Celebrated Death Mask. An Interview with Professor John S. Hart. PRrvorTon, Sept. 25, 1874. Independently of the debate concerning the au- thenticity of Shakespeare's plays which of late has been carried on with so much interest and vigor in your columns, another question of similar im- port has arwen, and, as the sequel will snow, te at this hour engaging the warm and earnest atten- tion of Shakespearian students all over the world, It is whether we have left us any correct por- trait or image or the great dramatist, and if 80, which one of those purporting to be so 1s in reality | genuine. Is it the Keeselstadt, the Chandos | or the Droeshout picture? Or. if his fea | tures have been better represented in a bust, which bust is strictly accurate, the Stratford | or the Terra Cotta of the Garrick Clad? [t has been announced that the eminent and celebrated artist, William Page, of New York city, | 18 at present engaged upon a new portrait of | Shakespeare, the features of which have been taken from a death mask recently unearthed in | Germany. ‘This portrait wi!l differ entirely in the | form of expression and general contormation of head and face from portraits of this dramatist | hitherto executed, and the question naturally arises, will Mr, Page’s work be real or will lt be ideal? The history of this remarkable deatn mask hat been given to the world recently by Professor John S. Hart, of Princeton College, in whose room Iam now writing, and upon whom I will be de- numerous letters irom Shakesperian students all over the world, in which they freely express their opinions concerning the genuineness of the mask. As the sentiments of so many learned and all, whether Shakespearian students or not, I | give below an interview with Dr. Hart, in which | will be found selections irom his large private cor- | respondence, | First, however, a few words concerning the death mask itself, which is now exciting so much | attention and which seems to have made such an tmpression on Mr. Page. It was discovered by one | uudwig Becker in Mayence, in 1849, among dirt | and rubbish of every conceivable description. In 1850 1t was exhibited in London, and-it was subse- | | be seen, It is very much battered and worn, me, and on Ms back bears the tnscription:— + A° Dm 1616, the very year in which Shakespeare died. At Mayence, where the mask was found, there is a portrait, which has been in the possession of the | Keeselstadt family for more than a hundred years, which purports to be @ picture of Shakespeare, and whch was evidently painted from the mask in question. But how came this death mask in Germany if it is really @ cast of the features of , Shakespeare? On this quéstion rests its genuine- ness. Admitting the fact that the Keeseistadt | picture was depieted from the features ol the mask, | there 18 No evidence that any member of the Kee- | selatadt family was in Englana during Shakes- peare’s lietime or at the time of his death. | The hypotuesw, bowever, is that alter the dramatist’s demise a iter cast wus taken of his features, and according to the | custom of the time, sent to a “tomb maker’ to Heed cultured men are of a nature calculated to interest | | blundered in some things, 7 Oambridge, one of the editors of the bridge Siiakespeare, say: rarest 4, “Lave read with great interest your paper’ on the deata mack.

Last evening the HERALD reporter Called upom Mr. Kirke, who made tue loliowing statement :— “Ever since the mysterious disappearance of the Maria | have been writing right and lett, Cyreape a descriptions of her to United states consuls in dif- ferent parts of the worid, and notably in the Weat Indies. ‘Through Masonic triends of mine 1 heard oO; her being at Aspinwall, where she was cup- pered and (ook Ina cargo of arms, [ taink, for tae Cubans, and [ also heard of ner at Bermuda, where she was photographed.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— Attempts have been made to drag Shakespeare @nd Bacon {ace to face, to compel them to make ridiculous siaugnter of each other. The press has given the would-be wise an opportunity to publish words, words, “sounding brass’? without the nar- mony of the ‘“‘tinkiing cymbal.’’ Bacon, a star in his divinely ordered orbit, shines on undisturbed by the honor which an ass would bestow upon him, ana, looking out from the circle of his con- genial friends, smiles at the ruse which other | spirits have songht to make mortals atudy and | know bim better. Once read his ponderous reas- oning and his great intellectual brain, the reader cannot fail to say here is @ man who lays the foundation for one line of life, one road serve as & guide for Making @ bust; that after the bust had been fashioned the mask Was cast aside | among numerous others, and toat a German {re- qnenting she shop, and being struck with its | matchless features, learned its origin, and carniea | it of to Germany. Doubtiul as this story may be, there is a possibility of its truth. At ail even’ we know it ig @ Cast taken alter death, because, imbedded in the plaster, nairs can be seen witn the naked eye. Mfcroscopic examination also proves these to be human hairs. The two great arguments in tavor of the genuineness of the mask are that tt he Jeatures of @man far beyond the ordinary standard, “At the very first glance,” siya Herman Grimm, in speaking of the mask, “Il thought to myself that Ih never seen @ nopler countenance.

Yes, many. Among Ameri Shakespearians the first to respond was Richard Grant White. He says:—‘I have read your very interesting article on th speare Mask.’ You mention one very important fact, which, accord- ug to my memory, Mr. Page did not bring for- ward—the date (fA. D. 1616) on the mask. That is very impressive. The head is grand, partica- larly in the photograph which accompédnies your | article, But, a'as! the head is not Shakespeare's, Of that Lieel very sure. How noble it is! how touchingly sad!” “Mr. White, like most toat I have heard irom, speaks of the superiority of the photo- | graph that brought from wermany over others | that he nad seen, Mr. Furness, of Philadelphia, the new variorum re, Bays our essay 43 capital, and told, too, with great adroitness, There is no dogmatic assertion, which ts go sure to | raise 4 barrier of antipathy, bat atone of quiet | fairness and moderation, which Carries weight.

New York, Sept. 18, 1874. le | THE MARIA. —+ News at Last of the Celebrated Stevens Yacht—A Mysterious Cruise of Four Years—Telegram From the United States Consul at Marseilles—A Curious Tale. In the whole history of yachting im the United States there is no vessel, excepting, perhaps, the celebrated yacht America, which has enjoyed so wide a reputation as that of Commodore Stevens’ | yacht Marta, Her extraordinary salling qualities were the theme of admiration on voth the Atlantic | and Pacific coasts, But yachts, like men, have their | Gay, and 1t was at last decided, about 1969, that she should be broken up, The skimmer of the Waves was, however, spared this disgrace, and was sold to three Hoboken ferrymasters, who al- tered her rig and turned her into a working schooner. She made several trips to Virginia to the oyster beds and at last mysteriously disappeared about four years ago, no one knowing what had become of the vessel or her Staten Island captain and crew. Some affirmed that she had sunk in @ “norther’ among the “isles,” while others maintained that she had gone ipto the Cuban service, and others that she had been purchased by @ Spaniard, who had changed her name and calied her, perhaps, “El Cid” or some other name naving but little similarity to “Maria.” The owners were not idie, however, and sent Captain Barkelew to Cuba and Captain William Burretl, tue former sailing master of the Maria, to Virginta, to see if anything resembling the missing craft could be seen, but their missions were in vain. A few weeks ago M, Le Duc, the proprietor of a hotel adjoining the ferry at Hoboken, while read- ing & French ‘paper, came across the following article, and, having translated it, showed it to the owners of the Maria, After consultation it was agreed that Mr. Kirke—who is a New York ship- owner and has a claim on the veasel for $1,000 for sails—should write to Mr. Potter, the American Consul at Marseilles, and tell him the circum: From Po’ win Kirke, 195 West sureet, New York :— ere. | Gua It will be remembered by some of our readers thas the vessel Maria, laden with contraband of | fore beom, 40 ieet; fre gall, 36 leet; irom ber tore- Tmast to stern, 38 eet 6 iuches, Her cabin floor was formerly a cockpit, under that floor ts | centreboard trunk, not in use now.
