A despatch to Reuter, {rom Paris, says the substance of the Porie’s reply to the Powers hus already reached the French government. It is said to be of a nature to accelerate a pacific solation of the Es rn question. ‘The Porte only makes some reservations relative to the reforms to be accomplished, and expresses the wish that the provinees to be affected by them should not be designated by name. The Powers, on the other hand, desire to designate Bosnia, Bulgaria and Herzegovina by came, Right Hon, Robert Lowe publishes a letter in the Times this morning on the Eastern question. He ve- bemently insists upon the necessity of calling Parlia- ment together to determine whether tho preseut policy at the Ministry 18 to be pursued. MORE ANOCT THE RUSSIAN LETTER, The Times in a leading article says:—‘The Czar is nxious to keep the contest within its pres- and ho is believed to have given pacitic us- surauces to Emperor Francis Joseph in tbe autograph letter which is exciting the curiosity of the Continent But there is grave reaxon to tear that if hostilities a1 not stopped immediately the healing influences of dip- lomacy will be baflid. A prominent St. Petersourg Bewspaper is cliowed to say that Russia is resolutely and irrevocably aetermined to finish the Eastern question The Czar thanks the Town Council of Nicolaieff for their warlike address, and no attempt is made to prevent the rush of soldiers to Servia, In fact, the Russian people ure imtrodacing the starthog novelty of upplying the principle of limited liability to war, Russia will incur a heavy responsibility if she docs not endeavor to stop the present excitement.” “A Paris despatch to tne Times says information from Vienna author.zes the statement that the object of the Czar’s autograpa letter to Kmperor Francis Joseph is to induce Austria to enter into common action in the Interests of peace. A CROWN AT ALL HAZARDS, A Belgrade despatch to the Daily News says:—"It ts said that Prince Milan will leave Beigrade for Parat- chin early next week. This regarded as proof of the Impossibility of auy peace arrangements being con- sluded, It 18 #aid to be highly probable that Prince Milan will be crowned King as svon as he is removed from the restraints of Belgrade. Three hundred and uixty Cossacks srrived in Belgrade on Friday; 200 more xpected on Saturday, and 600 on Sunday. A QUARREL IN THE SERVIAN CABINET.

Ristics insisted upon the conclusion of an armistice, but Prince Milan wocld pot listen to the proposition. Ultimately the war party prevailed, and M. Ristics tendered his resiy- nation, which Prince Milan declined to receive. M. Ristics was with difficulty persuaded to remain in oflice, ENGLAND DISGUSTED WITH SERVIA. The same despatch also says:—“ngland and Utaly are greatly — irritated = at—sServia for rejecting an armistice. The British representative, speaking on bebalf of the Earl of Derby, said Servia must no longer rely on England or sympathies which she no longer deserves.” WAS THERE A BATTLE? Losvox, Sept. 30, 1876. A despatch to the Times from Belgrade say: ‘The movements en sho Morava River are comparatively in- Bignificunt. Tho Servians do not boust very loudly of Thursday’s battle, Official Turkish telegrams claim victory. “The newspaper correspondents nearest the scene of Operations seem to agree that the Turks had the advantage,” THERE PROBABLY WAS A FIGHT. The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Alexi- Datz in a despatch to that paper suys the Turks gained a great victory Tharsday, which they could have fol- Jowed up with disastrous resuits to the Servians wero Mt net for the armistice, which the Turkish commander sul treats as valid, REFRESHING CONTRADICTIONS.

OANGEROUS ILLNESS OF WIS HOLINESS AND CARDINAL ANTONGLUL [From the Evening Telezram of yesterday.) Loxpox, Sept. 30, 1876. Addespatch from Romo to-day reports tho very serl- ous and even alarming iliness of both Popo Pius IX. and the Cardinal Secretary, Antonelli. m PROFOUND ANxtETY. The Pope, though long ot feeble health and notwith- ttanding his great age, bas been able to take his daily walk in the gardons of the Vatican until lately, His present sudden iliness causes the profoundest snock among ail circles in the city. THE AGED CARDINAL Cardinal Antonelli bas long been seriously ill, and the sudden turn in his condition was not unexpected, Aside from his exalted position in the Church his death would prove a great loss in many ways. He is the wealthiest of a!l Roman Catholic ecclesiastics, if not the wealthiest man in Ttaly, EGYPT. A GRAVE RUMOR OF THE CAPTURE OF THE KELEDIVE’S GENERAL, Loxpvox, Sept 39, 1876.

DISQUIET AMONG THE BASQUES, A despatch to Reuter from Pamplona says an appeal to arms in detence ot the fueros, signed by Basque and Navarrese committees, is circulating in Navarre and the Basque provinces. FINANCIAL. EFFECT OF THE EASTERN WAR UPOW STOCKS. Loxpoy, Sept, 30, 1876. Notwithstanding attention has been occupied by the settlement which was satisfaciorily concluded yester- day, there has been at certain periods during the week considerable activity at the Stock Exchange. On Wedneaday Earl De, bv's speech on Eastern affairs, to- gether with a scarcity of stock and satisfactory traflic returns, caused a buoyancy in home railways, and numerous purchases were made. During the past two days ail the markets have been depressed, and there has been a general relapse tu prices, This reaction does not equal the previous advance, except in foreign securities and consols, Mostof the Enghsh railways show an improvement on last week. Canadian issues are lower, in consequence of a considerable decrease in the Grand Trunk traille receipts, Alter being tolerably firm, foreign securities during the iattor part of the week have been declining. Egyptian, Hungarian and Russian are 1 to 2; Argen- tine of 1363, 3; Buenos Ayres, 13; to 23;, and Paraguay and Uruguay 2 lower. English tunds aro flat, and con- sols 7-16 lower. American governments have main- tained their improvement in some cases, but Illinois shares aro 3 lower. “MONEY, MONEY, MONEY COMING ROME’? Fifty thousand pounds’ worth of American engles were withdrawn from the Bank of Englana yesterday for shipment to New York. THX RATES OF DISCOUNT. All the markets to-day are again flat and show a farther decline. In discount, as usual on the last day of the quarter, there is rather more doing, and the rates are firmer at the moment at 7% to 1 for best three months’ bills, The new United States funded loan closes at 3g to % premium, being a declive of 34. ge TRADE AND COMMERCE, THE LONDON MAREETS GENERALLY FIRM. Loxpox, Sept. 30, 1876, Business in the Mincing lane markets hus been but little affected during the past week by poiittcal events, as the demand is confined to current requirements, Speculative operations arc of a very partial character, Aquiet feeling, however, has prevailed during the last two days, Rice has been firm st tho recent im- provement; many floating cargocs have been sold. Middling to fine coffee 1s again higher; the supplies are small and decreasing ; foreign, excepting iow qualities, isin better demand. There have been some further arrivals of tea, which have increased the heavy quan- tity now offering, Tho weck's business was again moderate, The market generally remains guiet, but importers are fim, as supplies may be expected to fall off, The sugar market was duilat the close, During the week low brown sorts attracted more attention. Spices, though inactive, have not declined. PETROLEUM. ANTWERP, Sept, 30—Evening, Petroleum, 51f. for fine paie American, LIVERPOOL AND LONDON O[L MABKETS. Livenroot, Sept. 30—Evening.

SECRETARY CHANDLER'S VIEWS OF THE CAN- PAIGN IN INDIANA AND OHIO—THE EFFECT OF A REPUBLICAN SUCCESS ON NEW YORK STATE. Secretary Chandier returned to the Interior Depart- Ment from an arduous campaign tour through the country in bis capacity as Chairman of the Republi- can Natioral Executive Committee, He says that if Onio and Indiana are carried by the republican party m the October lec- tions, New York is good for a majority of 50,000 for Hayes and Wheeler. He adds that in the State of Indiana not only is every foot of ground being well fought, but every inch and half inch, that has never been fought _ before, is = gone over. He remarkea, in reply to a direct question, that “Things never locked bettor for the republican party than at present.” He referred to the charges of the democrats as to the income tax of Governor Hayes, and said, almost viciously, “That cat won’tjump.’? He asserted that the investigation as to the income tax of Mr. Tilden would go forward. THE JURY ACQUIT GENERAL BABCOCK AFTER A DELIBERATION OF TWO HOURS—GREAT DEM- ONSTRATIONS OF DELIGHT. The safe burglary conspiracy case, in which General Babcock and Thomas P. Somerville wero the defend- ants, which has been on trial for the past two weeks in the Criminal Court, was concluded this evening, tho jury returning a verdict of not gailty in each case, The jury was out tor two hours, and returned to court about six o'clock. Anumber of persons were present, and expressed ‘their gratification at the result by cheers and other demonstrations of applause. THE YOUR AND A HALF PER CENT LOAN. Up to the closing of the Treasury Department to-day tho subscription to the four and a half per cent loan had reached $50,000,000, being $4,000,000 additional to that heretofore acknowledged by the Treasury De- partment, FAST MAIL SERVICE, THE POSTAL RAILWAY COMMISSION TAKING TESTIMONY. Cixcinxati, Sept, 30, 1876. The Special Postal Railway Commission at its session here to-day examined officers of the leading railways terminating im Cincinnati in regard to the transporta- tion of mails over their routes, and merchants and business men in regard to the accommodations fur- nished while the fast mail train was in operation, and also as to the present arrangements, The railway managers were of the opinion that the compensation for the carriage of mail now transported in pouches, without any clerk or agent, was at a very much bigher ratio than any other service and was proportionately too high; that what was needed was a more thorough ser- vice by postal cars throughout the States of Ohio and Kentucky ag that would accommodate the local mail, which was of mach greater importance than the through mail. There was a conilict of testimony among the merchants, bankers and publishers of news- papers, some testifying that they were as served now as when the fast mail was iv operation, and others that there was a delay since the fast train stoppea of twenty-four huurs in remittances and correspondence between New York and Cincipnati. The commission left to-night for Louisville. RUN ON THE SAVINGS BANKS, Yesterday morning the excitement among tho smaller depositors in the savings banks of the east side, which began to manifest itself on Thursday and culminated in a perfect panic on Friaay, in no degree abated, but in the afternoon there was a very percepti« ble decrease in tho number of applicants for a settle- ment of accounts, The causo of this sudden with- drawal of deposits les in the suspension of the New Amsterdam and Bond street savings banks, When the trustees of these establishments announced their in- tention of giving over business, but found themsolves unable to go into voluntary liquidation, a doubt of tho security of other kindred insvitutions became broad- cast. The recollection of the Third Avenue Bank’s failure and the close of the Mutuul, the Germania and the Abingdon Square is yet green in the memory of most depositors, and there was consequently u grand rush to the paying toliers’ desks. The Dry Dock Bank, at corner of Bowery and Third Street, came 1b for more than a fair sbare of this run, ‘A large gathering had assembied before it at an carly hour, aud dark the employés were still busy handing over mot to Importuning depositors, it soemed to be generally taken for granted that the bank was going to suspend payment, and the only thought in the minds of allcomers was how to most readily reach the counters and withdraw such de- posits as they had made, However, it was clear that no one bad a definite — notion of what they had to fenr, nor could any one give any idea of what their doubts were founded on. It was stated by one or two, though on what authority it would be difficult to determine, that the bank officials were unable to pay the interest on the mortgage which they had been obliged to take out in order to complete the building, and that it was consequently to be sold on account of aforcclosure suit. It was claimed by others that the Dry Dock Bank bad large securities in- vested in those institutions which have recently suspended and that it had {ts finances further crippled wnrough that — means, in conversation with Wilium V. Webster, the secretary of the bank, a Hexa.p reporter loarved that the securities beid by tho bank could be realized ina short time, and that even if they were sold at the low- est market rate there would be left a surplus of over $60,000, He said that there was no cause whatever for apprehension among the depositors, but that if they persisted in their iptentions of withdrawing their deposits the trustees fancied that, far trom damaging the bank’s interests, they would only be advancing them, “This run,’ ‘said dir. Webster, “will be of benefit to us, becauro wo will not only escape the ob- ligation of payin» interest upon the sums withdrawn, but we will be ireed from the payment of the State tax, and that of itself is a mattor worth considering.” ‘The excitement was not confined to depositors of the Dry Dock Bunk alone, but circulated among people who bad placed their savings in the Bowery, Bleecker Street and Metropolitan Banks, In theso there were Jower amounts drawn and the officers in all cases ex- pressed themselves satisied of their institutions being able to weather the run. However confident these gentiomen may by of their Orancial security, there is no doubt but that a wide-spread fecling exists that in this crisis every bank whose finances are not on @ solid basis will be sorely pusted. The recent suspensions have inspired a jack of confidence, under which many such institutions may succumb if it be not speedily removed, THE BOND STREET SAVINGS BANK. The officials of the above savings bank have given to the world, through the columns of the Hxratp, tho trustees’ statement of the condition of the institution; but it seems that the depositors are not satisfied to Lave them control the appointment of a receiver, which, it seems, they are desirous of doing. At the meeting on last Wednesday evening some ot the heavi- est depositors, principatly residing on the Bowery, recommended through their counsel, Mr. Samuel Crook, the appointment of the present receiver of the Mechan‘cs’ and Traders’ Savings Bank, but after a peiition to t eflect was signed it was said “the bank party’? created disorder, and the meeting was adjourned to Friday evening, fo take place at No, 291 Bowery, a iuil report of which was giveu yesterday. At this meet- iug, according to the publisiied statement, ‘out rageous disorder” prevailed. A Mr. Descha was placed 1n ihe cbair with scarcely the form of fair piay, every motion tnade vy depositors outside of the bank party was overruled and the voices of the objectors drowned by groans and shouts. The President was ut fret in- vesied with power to name a committee who should recommend the receiver to Judge Landon, of Schenec- lady; bat as this too obviousiy gave him (Descha) the nomination of that official, it was agreed that he should name three of the committee, after which the baiance was filled by names equally in the interest of the bank party. One alter another of tho depositors objected to this managemont, but the crowd of yollers carried their motions. Upon learning the above facta a Hrnaup reporter waited on several of tho depositors, and they were in the main corroborated. Mr. Join Bowden, a depositor, jaing at No, 348 Bowery, stated most the unanimous wish of the depusitor the first mecting was the appointment as receiver of the gentieman whose name has already been publisned, but :t was evident Irom th t that some other name had been agreed on by the oank party. All they wanted, how- ever was an honest man, and if Judge Landon appoints any other the depositors will take measures to turn him oat. Mr. Best was waited on, and he told the re) phar proached by a number of gentiom Messrs, Lynn, Campbell, Mag others, large depositors, to know ii he would accept the receivership if recommended by the depositors and appointed by tue Court. His reply was that he bad no aspirations in that direction, but would accept the position if the depositors thought he could best serve their interests, He had nearly finished his arduous duties as receiver of the Mechanics and Traders’ Bank and was ready to pay the dividend alreaay announced, #o that the final closing up of the concern only in- volved clerical duties. He paid a compliment to the trustees of the Boud Street Bunk in saying that it was creditable to them in haying, like the New Ainsterdam Bank directors, initiated themselves the proceedings for liquidation. ‘The officers of the Bond Sirect Bank were subse- quently sought, but the bank & ed hermetically sealed as to the doors but not air-iight ws tothe windows, TO PELHAM BY COACH. THE PLEASURES OF A DRIVE WITH COIONEL | DELANCEY KANE DETAILED BY A VISITOR 10 NEW YORK. Surremnsr 30, 1876. To Tux Epitor or tux Herary:— A ridge turough the suburbs of New York on a hand- some and well appointed coach, behind four spirited and high stepping horses, fifteen miles outward (pause a few hours) and return, through scenes that present the sharpest contrasts and the most pleasing variety anywhere within an equal distance of tho city, isa treat that should not be missed by the thousands of strangers who, like myself, are at present sojourning jo tho metropolis And still such @ treat 1s within the reach of any one who may take the trouble to select a party and set out upon the ex- cursion, For some time before my arrival in New York the absence trom the daily papers of all mention of the Pelham coach caused some epprehensioa in my mind for tho success of Colonel Kane’s undertaking. I feared that, Ike some othor well intentioned ventures qualified to produce healthy results, and begun chiefly ag a labor of love by the originators, it may have ceased through popular unconcern, I said to mysell, and you will admit pot unreasonably (im view of past experiences in outdoor enjoyments of a some- what similar nature), perhaps it may have been _torgotten when the novelty of the thing wore off, and I asked myself, somewhat un- easily, I confess, ‘Can it be possible that New York— the wealthy and pleasure-loying metropolis of New York—has not sustainea and encouraged the spirited proprictor of its only public coach?” Immediately ou my arrival here a few days ago, however, the ques- tion was emphaticaliy answered in the negative, and 1 bad the pieasure of secing the coach drive up in good form, on its return trip, to its stand in front of the Hotel Brunswick. I need scarcely tell you that I immediately determined to seize the first favorable opportunity for a trip to Pelham Bridge and return. To do this it was necessary to book, and in my innocence 1 expected to have no dilliculty in this respect whenever | was ready. 1 can book, thought I, in the morning before the coach starts, or at least at any hour the night before. BEHOLD THE SEQUEL! I was in no haste to book ahead, and the day I had t my fancy upon going, the whole coach inside and out was taken bya party large enough to fill al- most every seat, 1 was too late, and so that morning I bad to content myself with the lesser pleasure of secing a jolly party bundle themselves comfortably into their places and gleefully set out for aday’s enjoyment—a day’s substantial, old time en- Joyment, all of whose details are compassed by such agreeable suggestions and recall such entertaining memories both of remote and recent times. I was in ho measure envious of those more fortunate than my- sell, bat I could not repress a wish to bo with thom as the guard merrily winded his horn, and Colonel Kano, taking up his reins, prepared himselt for the start, Well, they aro off, and I am left to muse upon the pleasures of coaching, resolved, however. next time to take occasion by the hand, come calm or storm. And here let me say that your average American too much affects a French ef- feminacy in weatner There is abroad a rather absurd prejudice against a little rain and cool, bracing breezes. By the way, the robust English gentleman has little dread of a few rain drops, and the refined and tenderly reared English Inay does not hesitate to go abroad when the sky is lowering, yet the health of either scems to compare favorably with the more closely housed inhabitant of the great Republic, At the present day there are about nine such coaches as that owned by Colonel Kane daily leaving London for points of interest twenty, thirty or forty miles from central hotels in the great Old World city and re- turning the rame day, while another coach runs to Brighton one day and returns the next. In Paris an effort was made to establish @ coach route to the battle fields in the environs shortly afior the late war, but it proved unsuccessful, because all the passengera wanted to ride inside. But, to return to Mapnattan and my own experience. My time came at last, and at the hour of starting Iwas on hand. Indeed, if the truth must be told, though no great novice in coaching, I was a little over prompt, But then it 1s nota very difficult matter to get one’sselt in readiness 20 carly as to bave a little time tospare after breakfast and aquiet morning cigar, to reach the Hotel Brunswick by cieven o'clock in the foronoon—the present hour of starting. Shall 1 say how well I ENJOYED THE TRIP THAT DAY? Not in tame languago can one describe the buoyant Joyousness of such a ride as ours, To picture scenes and depict sensations neither seen nor experienced would doubtiess require the exercise of a keen imaginative power, but here one beholds beaatics and experiences delights that iteven requires imagination to describe, for the instant must be seized. One charm succeeds another so quickly that they glut the faney and crowd cach other from the eye. As you speed onward, whether passing the ly mansions of New York’s chief avenue its pride, through the lovely park, and or along the unda- ating country road beyond, your cyes feast upon a wealth of form and color whose infinite variety “ago cannot wither nor custom stale.”’ Are you dashing up Fifth avenue with the eyes of Leauty beaming on you from a hundred windows, here coyly, there in boider array? Bebold she equipages of tho rich and fortunate rolling in slow dignity aiong. Here is the house—raiher the palace—oi the great merchant, with blinds close drawn, grim and silent as him who lately was its master; here "is the spacious aud elegant hostelry, the stately church and graduaily towering cathedral Well, we are fairly started now, and what is the first thing that atiracts our notice—ut loust mino, for to those used to the route it may not have any signif- cance? Itis the salutes that greet our truly gentle- manly driver on every hand. Right hearty and spon- taneous are these evidences of good feeling exvidited as he speeds along, and Colonel Kane never fails to return such greetinge with a promptuess and suavity that show how sincerely he appreciates them. THK JOVIAL GUARD. bat is this echoing through the horn of our guard now? Only the crisp notes of “buy broom’ as we dash into Central Park, saluted by the poltceman at tie gate and the hackarivers that joiter about the entrance. Here is a picture that cannot fail to please us surely. Througn a break in the row of trees that borders our drive on the left wo seo tho greensward spreading. How delightfully fresh the ¥erdure looks this placid, cool September day! Though the leaves are gradually assuming their autumn tints is still itensely green in its second AS we pierce this iovely garden autumn’s become more marked ana beautitul. Bush to the right of us alrexdy wear russet; bushes to lett ion of the ladies beside us, sport bright ‘cardinal red’? foli and tall trees in front of us are covered with le: of a rich golden bue, “Colonel, what do you really think of Central Park ?”” inquires a gentleman on my left, “Really, [ have seen quite a number of parks, and 1 corsider it the loveliest of them all,’’ is tue Colouel’s answer. “If 1 were asked to recommend a modilica- tion of it, however, I should suxgert that tho bridle path! wo less seciuded from the walks and drives,” heudded, ‘“Equestrians s! ould as naturally be expected to share in the pleasures of seeing and being seen as other visitors, bat as whe matter is at present arranged they are in some measure hidden away.?? Pornaps I should have mentioned earlier that before we had progressed any considerable distance on our trip most of us, though unknown to each other before, became quite rapidly on excellent terms with cach other, and we compared notes and chatted like old quaintances, But this is notably a consequenco— and nota disagreeabie one I hope you will allow—of ovaching. OUT PROM THR PARK we roll again to the music of the guard's resounding horn. Our guard, by the way,! flea bas been on the road from London to Tuporidge Wells and back daiiy for months and months without a rest save on Sun- days, Forty miles each way is pretty good couch- ing, but perhaps a little tiresome. Our guard is therefore no novice at the horn, There 1s a cheery ring in hig notes as they break upon the still air beyoud the city’s turmoil. His ran out of London was much longer than tho one he now performs daily. Pitteen miles cach way, I understand, 1s the outside limit of our trip to Peibam Bridge, and tint distance, or, per. haps, a few miles more at the most, is certainly cnough jor one day’s ride, We have pushed onward, and now a number of little gardens that tell of the careful Dutch gardener spread out on our left, To the right—what 1s that? An Indian village? No; only a squatter’s tement, You don’t need your rifles gentiemen, Ladies calm yourselves.

This rash step, however, as i; now appears, bad for its object merely the annoyance of her husband, the private detectives employed by the latter having recelved conclusive proot of the moral innocence of the unhappy lady in relation to the very gallant officer who thus did bis best to ruin the reputation of the sis- ter of his host and friend. Unfortunately the truth has come to light too late, With the stigma resting on her name, tho punishment of her mad caprice was that she never returned to her oldhome. Last month, just vefore ker death, she came to the nearest city, some fitteen wniles distant, and there the once gay, proud beauty, away from all her friends and alone in some obscure lodgings, breathed her last. It is only just that the scanda! should be laid at rest with the re- mains of her who is derd; but just how far that scan- dal is deserved it is a richteous duty to make clear, and I hope that the duty has been at last performea.
