Heligoland—A German Longing—The Winslow Beleaso—Financial Affairs. [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) by Lonvon, June 17, 1876. There is nothing of particular interest this week beside the situation of affairs in Constantinople and the prospects of the Eastern question generally. The English papers are too busy just now with the Russian and Berlin papers to attend to commonplace topics, RUSSIAN PRESS COUNTERBLASTS TO BRITAIN. The Russian journals, judging from the language which they use, are very much excited against England. ‘The Golos indeed threatens that Russia will “throttle Turkey” before the eyes of England. | These two great countries, Great Britain and Russia, alone now seem to threaten the peace of Europe. THE EASTERN INSURRECTION. ‘The insurrection itself 1s merely of local import ance. THE HELIGOLAND RUMORS, The assertion of the Berlin National Zeitung, that England will cede the island of Heligoland to | Germany, is, as | matter of course, denied here. ‘The assertion needed no contradiction ; but it is no less true that the National Zeitung but expresses the vague longing which the Germans entertain for the posseasion of Heligoland, and a certain uneasi- ness at having only forty odd miles from their coast @ foreign Power which, as in the last war, can shelter the ships of an enemy. . THE EXTRADITION QUESTION. The release of Winslow Is but little discussed by the public. There prevails a general fear that the United States will retallate when an opportunity presents itself, or that there will be a repudiation of the Extradition Treaty altogether. IX HIS NEW HOME, Winslow is still in London. LORD AMBERLEY’S BOOK. Lord Amberley's posthumous work, “Analysis of Religious Belief," of which his friends trie. to pre- vent the publication, now appears, and is creating considerable excitement in the religious world. The tendency of the book ts thorougly sceptical, treating Christ as a legendary development. THE PREFACE BY A PERRESS. The author’s mother, Countess Russell, prefaces the work, saying, ‘May those finding cherished be- liefs questioned remember the author's pain as, one by one, be parted with portions of that faith which in early youth was the mainspring of his life.” CAPTAIN KEYN’S TRIAL ADJOURNED. ‘The case of Ferdinand Keyn, late captain of the steamer Franconia, which ran into and sunk the Strath-Clyde, now being heard by the full Bench, has deen adjourned until Wednesday, FINANCIAL REVIEW. In the matter of finance the week shows consider- able recovery in the leading departments, but the Constantinople assassinations checked the upward tendency, the belief prevalent at the moment being that affairs in the East may pass out of the control of any government formed in Constantinople, and 80 tend to produce further complications, CONTINENTAL MONEY CENTRES. ‘The Paris, Vienna and Berlin Bourses are flat, and the London 'Change dull. AMERICAN SECURITIES. American governments are strong. Railroads quiet and steady. ENGLISH GOVERNMENTS. Home government securities have been strong, bankers and others seeking employment fer their surplus capital having been purchasers. CANADIANS, Canadians are 1 to 1% better. OTHER FOREIGNS. Several foreign descriptions which have becn heavily oversold, especially Argentine and Russian, commanded a heavy premium for stock at this set- tlement, and prices in this department are mostly improved. Egyptians are about 6 higher on the week, Russian 8, Hungarian 4 and 5, and most of the others 1 and 2. To-day business has been inactive. The altera- tions have been few and unimportant. The changes were mostly for the better. DIscoUNTS. Discounts were dull and some transactions made at % below the ruling figure. MINCING LANE MARKETS. Business in Mincing lane during the week has shown no generai improvement, but there has been amore active inquiry for sugar. Coffee was firmer and advanced several shillings from the lowest point for good to fine East Indies and plantation Ceylon. Low descriptions rematn quiet. ‘The alterations in sugar are partly ascribed to ex- pected French requirements, some cargoes having already been taken for France, and the stock of the best sugars is being diminished. West Indies, low brown East Indies and refining have slightly ad- vanced. ‘There has been little done in rice. Teos continue depressed. The new season's Con- gou will probably begin to arrive in a fortnight. Saltpetre remains firm. Spices are quiet. THE FRENCH WORKINGMEN. It was decided Inst Friday, by alarge number of workingmen of this city, that the diferent trade unions and organized bodies be invited tosend two delegates to the beget held at No, 102 Piped street, for the purpose of making arrangements the proper reception of the syndical Chambers’ jon of Franco, it being, it is said by the French workingmen here, the true representation of the working people of that country, having been ciected by their peers, AN ACQUITTAL AFTER THREE YEARS, Caxpripox, Mass, June 17, 1876.

Hovrzpata, Pa, June 17, 1876. Last night a man was detected in the act of setting j Gre to the Catholic church tn this place. The discovery was made by a Woman, who was knocked down by the incendiary betore she could g ve an alarm. He escaped.

Newronrr, R. I., June 17, 1876. ‘The imperial party left New York this morning by the eight o’clock train for New Haven, where His Majesty hoped to meet Professors Dana and Loomis, | whom he knew well by reputation. On the arrival of the train at New Haven the ; President of Yale College, accompanied by Professor Dana, met His Majesty and drove with him to the college, where the various departments were care- fully examined. The Emperor was specially interested in the dis- coveries of Professor Brush, When His Majesty had completed his inspection of the college he devoted nearly an hour to conversing with Professors Dana and Loomis on their special studies, and left very well pleased with the Faculty. While the Emperor was spending his time with the professors the Empresa drove about the town, which she found pretty and interesting. Nothing of interest occurred on the journey until we arrived at New London, where His Majesty wit- neased for the first time the ferriage of a rallwa, train across a river, He was very much interested by this Yankee notion, and the Visconde de Bom Re- tiro satd it was like something he had read about in a fairy tale. On the arrival of the tram at Wickford the ferry- boat Kolus was waiting to convey the passengers across the bay. On board was Mayor Bedlow, who interested himself in explaining to the Emperor the | various points of interest. There was also a large number of ladies on board, who came to catch a | glimpse of the distinguished visitors. Carriages were in waiting at the landing, and | their Majesties were at once driven to the Aquid- neck House, Soon after their arrival, Captain Breese, of the Torpedo Station, cailed to present his compliments and to offer the courtesies of the statton to the Em- peror. Captain Breese stated that on account of to- morrow being Sunday the workmen would be mostly away, but he would be gind to show His Majesty as much of the station possible. The Emperor thanked Captain Breese and appointed twelve o'clock to-morrow as the hour for his visit. Among those who came to the wharf to meet their Majesties was the bistorian Bancroft. The mecting with the Emperor was marked by great warmth, His Majesty insisting that Mr. Bancroft should accept @ seat in hts carriage. The Emperor and Empress will lunch with Mr, Bancroft to-morrow, when they will meet such of the notables of Newport as are already on the ground. On Monday morning their Majesties will leave for Philadelphai, where they will remain fifteen days. i ! i { { i MR. VANDERBILT'S DONATION. Nasnvittx, Tenn., June 17, 1876, At a spontaneous gathering of representative citizens here to-day, to express gratitude to Commodore Van- derbilt for his donation of $1,000,000 for the establish- ment of a university, resolutions were adopted by a standing vote, offering to Mr. Vanderbilt the expression of their profound appreciation of his noble liber- ality, that 60 munificent a gift, as a spontaneous act on the part of Mr, Vanderbilt, entitles him not only to our gratitude, but places his name among the foremost benefactors of our country; that such acts mast and wiil go far toward accomplishing that union of hearts ou the part of the citizens of this great country, so @eeply needful to our common good.

GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasuinatox, June 17, 1876, MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT URGING ACTION ON THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. In the House to-day the Speaker laid before the House the following Message from the Presidont:— To Tus Séxare an» House ov Repaeskytatives ‘The near approach of a new titcal year and the ta ot Congress, up to this time, to. provide tho neces means 0 continue all tho functions of the governm makes it my duty to call your attention to the embar- Tussment that must ensue if the tiscal year is allowed toclose without remedial action on your part, The President then quotes certain provisions of the Jaws and the constitution, saying their effect 1s to pro- hibit any outlay ot public mon voward detraying even the current and necessary expenditures of the government afler the expiration of the yoar tor which appropriated, excepting when those expenses are _pro- vided for by some permanent appropriation, and, ex- copting in the War and Navy departments, the number of permanent appropriations are very ‘iinited and cover but few of the necessary expenditures of the government. They aro nearly ell, if not quite all, embraced in sections 3,687, 3.688 and 3,659 of the Ro- vised Statutes, That contaived in section 3,687 13 ap- plicable to the expenses of collecting the revonue from Customs, that in section 3,688 to the payment of the interest on the public debt and that in section 3,689 to various objects too numerous to detati here. It will be observed that while section 3,679 provides that no de- partment shall in any one fiscal year invulvo the gov- ernment in any contract for the future payment of money in excess ot the appropriation for that year, Section 3,732 coniers by clear implications upon the heads of the Warand Navy departments tull author- ity, even in the absence of any appropria- tion, to purchase or contract for clothing, subsistence, forage, fucl, quarters and transportation, not exceeding the necessities of the current year. The latter provision ts specially and exceptional in its char- acter and is to be regarded as excluded from the opera- tions of the former more general one. Butit any of the appropriation bills above enumerated should fall to be matured before the expiration of the current fiscal year, the government would be greatly embarrassed for want of the necessary funds to carry on tue service, Precluded from oxpending motiey not appropriated tho departments would have to suspend the service so far as the appropriation should have failed to be made. A careful cxammation of this subject will demonstrate tho embarrassed condition all branches of the government will be in, and especially the Execative if thero should be a failure to pase the necossary apprepriation bills before the Ist of July or otherwise provide. I commend this subject most earnestly to your consideration, and urge that some measure be speedily adopted to avert the evils which would resuit trom non-action by Congress, | will venture the suggestion, by way of remedy, that q joint resolution, properly guarded, might be ‘passed through the’ two houses of Congress, ex- tending the provisions of all appropriations for the present tical year to the next ip all cases where there 18 a fatluro on the Ist of July to supply such appropriation, each appropriation £0 ¢x- tended to hold good until Congress shail have passed a corresponding appropriation applicable to the new fiscal year, when all moneys expended under the laws enacted for this fiscal year shall be deducted from th corresponding appropriation for the next. To mal my ideas on this subject 1 have caused to be drawn upa joint resolution ¢ 1g them nore | fully, 3. GRANT, | Executive Mansion, June 17, 1876, The following is the joint resolution alluded to in the President's Message: Whereas the ordinary and necessary expenses of the public service in ite jous branches, comprising | among others the ex which especially pertain to the legislative, execu nd judicial department#of the government? to the,cons ind diptonni rvice, to the postal service, to the port of the army and to the maintenance of the navy, generally met by annual appropriations which expire at the end of the current fiscal year; aud whereas, no public funds will be available to aefray these expenses as the same shall accrue alter that period unless appropriations shali bave been previously made therefor by law; and whereas, to avoid the great embar- Tassment to the public service that might otberwise ensue, it is expedient to make provision ior defraying temporarily such of these expenses as would ‘ve unprovided jor in cago some one of the usual annual appropriation bills pee oe to provide therefor sbould fail to be matured by the end of the fiscal year now current, therefore be {t Resolved, &c., That in case any of the following ap- Propriation bills for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1877, shall not bavo by the commence- ment of such year so that the funds to be ap- porpriated thereby may then be available tor expenaiture, that isto say, the bill providing for the legislative, executive and jJadiciai expenses, the bill providing for the consular and diplomatic expenses, the bill providing for the service of the Post fice De- partment, the bill providing for the port of the army, and the dill providing jor the naval service, Appropriation act lor the current @acal year, corre- sponding in its era description and object to such appropriation bili, shali extend to the fiscal year next ensuing antil such appropriation bili is en- acted and takes eflect, to the end that the provisions of such Appropriation act which shall apply to the ordinary and necessary expenses of the public service for tbe current fiscwl year shall in jike manner be applicable to similar experises which may accrue during the period intervening between tho end of the current tecal year and the time when such appropria- tion bill for the next ensuing fiscal year shall be en- acted and take effect, ar. Raxpave, (dem.) of Pa., Chairman of tho Com- | mittee on Appropriations, remarked that the Messoge just read was unusual, and, in bis opinion, altogevher unnecessary. Still, 1t should have respectiul reference and consideration, The House and the Committee on Appropriations were not unmimndial at all of the situa. tion, and had brought to tue satject of the appropriation Dilis elaborate consideration and great industry, They hag reached a result, reducing enormourly the expendi- tures of the government, but not reducing them velow what the government could be properiy administered for, The Chairman of the Committee on Appropriae would, therefore, recommend tho House to ad- to it# action im that regard, Suli, ia the abun- dance of cautt it woulda be well for the country to understand that {i the House hed erred in any particu. Jar vy which friction may be produced in the adminis tration of the government, 1t would be hero again next December to ly any fault that may have been committed, jesired econ- omy ground for Represent Proper reductions there was no occasion to was there aby Occw:ion Whatever for any flutter, amounts appro; riated ta the brie were believed by the House to be fully adequate tothe proper adiniaistration of the government.

He thoneht the gentleman trom Iihnois had gone beyond the proper courtesies of Jebate. Mr, Hoxenot—In what respect? Mr. Ho.may—In talking about the tncompetency of one of the committees of the Honse, Mr. Hon.aut—I am not aware that I used that phrase. Mr. Hotman—That 1s a very cheap modo of axsailing one of the committees of the House. It the Senate 1s ipaptred with the same motives that inspired us, every appropriation bill will have passed beiore the 30th of June. Lbave some ground for complaining that we have not been met by the Senate in the same spirit of magnanimity which this House displays. This House has not put on an appropriation bill one legislative rovision that cannot be found time and again for the last thirty years on appropriation bills, and every one of those legislative provisions are in the interest of economy. Mr, Kassox, (rep.) of Iowa, said ho had supposed that the Committee on Appropriations would belore of the State of the appropriation bilis and consulted the Houre as to the course to bepursued in the emergency. He differed with the gentleman from Penneyivania (Mr. | Randall) as to the message from the President being an necessary. The Presnient was sworn to administer the law, and was required by the constitutiou to make communications to Congress touching measures needed for the salety and welfare of the govern- ment. if the Diplomatic und Consular Appro- priation bill was not passed beture the lat ot July the Seerctary of State would be obliged to telegraph to every foreign Minister and Con- sul and to every jars depositary of the United States that it any draft was presented against the United States government atter July 1 it would be pro- tested, To that extent the financial honor of the coun- try was endangered. Was it not the duty of the Pres- ident to let the House know that fact, and to call special attention to 1%? If the Indian Appropriation Dill fatled the same diffieulties would oeur, except that the lives and property of the frontier settlers would also be imperilied. The situation was perilous, and the gentlemen could not conceal the fact from them. selves, Had they not a country and a national government, and were party considerations alone to be consulted? There was no government in the world, monarcbical or iberal, in which the jact was not reooghized that whatever party succeeded to power it was its duty, involving the bonor or dishonor of the Nation, to sustain {n all Jawfol ways the administration of the government, He hoped that there was nota man in the House who was not disposed to sustain the honor of the country. The debate was continued by Messrs. Karson and Hore- ford, of West Virginia; Wood and Cox, of Now York; Forter, of Ohio; Phillips, of Kansas; Cannon, of Iilinois; Williams, of Indiana, and Randall, of Pennsyivanin, Finally the debate was closed and the monsage of the President was referred to the Committee on Appro- priations, THR BELKNAP IMPEACHMENT, Mr. Lord, (dem,) of N. Y¥., om behalt of the impeachmert managers, informed the House that the counsel of Mr. Betknap had made application to-day to the Senate for adjournment until November, alleging among other reasons the great difficulty of procuring witnesses in month of July, and that the reasons presented were such on reflection, the managers had leave to confer with the House. The points which he desired to present were:—First, that the question of jurisdic. tion had been settled, and that the question as to the two-thirds vote would be settled before the adjourn- ment this session, and second, that the Senate, sitting Tho plan’ of the managers had been to inuuce the Senate, asa Court, to go on and try the case. The managers had, thereforo, instructed him to submit a resolution authorizing the managers to consent to a continuance of the trial until the 15th or 20th of No- vember next ° Objection to thi nb ard of mnement was made by Mr. Randal, of Pensyivania; Mr. Holman, of Indianu; Me, Wood, of New York; Mr.’ Singleton, of Mississippi, | and other members,’ the principal ground of objection being that if postponed vill November the trial would eperoach on the time of the next ses- sion, It wos supported by Mr. Reagan, of Texas, with the condition that the postponement be not later than the 10th of November. None of the republicans took part in the discussion, Mr. Jenks, another of tho managers, advocated the Proposition, enforcing the idea that an adjournment of the trial woald have to occur, and that it should rather | bo postponed now tnan after @ great expense had been | incurred in procuring the attendance of witnesses. Mr. Houmas, of ludiana, moved to refer the subject | to tho Committee on tho Judiciary, and movea the | previous question. The provious question w: onded, 69 to 69, the Speaker pro tem. giving the cast- ing vote in the affirmative, The republicans voted with the managers against the previous question. Mr. Luttress, of California, moved to adjourn, tut | the motion wus lost, the repubiicans voting with the | managers againss it, Mr. ATKINS, wae! of Tenn., moved to go into Com- mittee of the Whole on the Army Appropriation bill, nnd that motion was agreed to. The republicans voted with the managers against it, The Hotse then at four o’clock went into Committee of the Whule, whereupon immediately.

Mr, Fostxn, (rep.) of Obio, oppored the amendment as calculated to ditoinivh the utility of the Signal Service. Mr, Raxpatr advocated the aroondment, stating that there were now 141 stations and that it was adinitted by the bead of that service that the number might be reduoed to 118, averaging two men to each station. The number of cierks in thatservice in Washington might also reduced, and the Signal Service school at Furt Whipple abolished Mr, HoaLavt opposed the reduction.
