The importance of the bil) of Mr. Le Bau, to prevent frauds in the opening’of streets in New-York, a copy of which, appeared in yesterday’s TRIBUNE cannot be over- estimated.

He of- fered the resolution to rescind the §100,00 resolution. He found on settlements of accounts o Central accounts that could not be explained. That looked like a jumping of accounts all on the side of the Hudsou Company. 1t looked as through the Central Company been paying all the expense of agencies to secure K”M for both roads, and doing the bulk of the haulage at varions points, and then paying the Hudson Road $100,000 for the privilege.

LXCITEMENT IN WALL-ST. e A BROKER OVERDRAWS HIS ACCOUNT $200,000 AT TIE BANK OF NORTH AMERICA—DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE BANK. Farly on Wednesday morning & startling trans- action was discovered in Wall-st. Mr. A. J. Meyer, senlor partoer of the firm of A.J. Meyer & Co., Brokers, doing bosiness at No. 46 Exchange-place, on Wednesday over- drew his account at the Bank of North America to the amonnt of upward of $200,000. The fivm of A. J. Meyer & ©Co. had beeu depositors in the Bank of North America for the last three years. Their transactions were of great mngul!ukdn, theit business amounting to nearly $3,000,000 " cek. Wednesday application was made to tho Cashier of the bank 1o certfify to certain checks of Meyer & Co., but the amonnt Inln‘ unusually largo and the deposit to their favor in the bank being just then very small, the officers refused to grant the request. Application was then made to the President, Mr. Yelverton, who having the fallest confidence in the fivm certified the ehecks himself. Later in the day the news got abroad thst Meyer & Co., were unable to meet their liabilities, and a great commotion ensued. Mr. Yelverton, became so much excited on ‘ompking), to extend the char- Bavings Bank. enango), to construct a bremk. 1 with the Ige in the g 10 the bauks, and to certain in- ounty, certain taxes anlawfully col- charged with mal- learning of the affair, and in_subsequently trying to in* vestigate the state of Mr. Meyer's accounts, that short] after reaching his home in Thirtieth-st. he was strac with appoplexy, from the effects of which he died yester- day morning. are assured by the officers of the bank that Mr, Yelverton's affairs with it are in perfect order, and that 10 blao attaches to him in the transaction, It is sald that the assets of the firm of A. J. Meyer & Co. are suffi- cient to cover the overdraft, and even should this not prove to be the case, the books of the bank show a sur- plus of nearly $400,000, 80 that in no case will the affairs of the bankt-be embarrassed, Differéut s have been set afloat regarding the causes of the failure of Meyer & Co. Bome say that the firm have been ruined by ageoukuon in Pennsylvania stock, and others assert that the prime canse was the fail- ure'ofapother firm, while Mr. Meyer’s friends confidently affiru that all will eventually bo*made right. ——— 3 REVIVAL OF JUSINESS—THE SMALL-POX AT MATA- MOROS.

SEDGWICK CONDEMNED BY MAXI- N~==THE LIBERALS ADVANCING ON THE Jan. 24.—The steamship Victor ar- rived {this morning, from Vera Cruz the 10th inst. L he brought the remains of ex-Gov. Allen of this tate. The French transports have arrived at Vera Cruz, and expected to depart in a few days with the French troops. A regiment of Egyptians had left on the French mail steamer some days before, Maximilian had issued another proclamation, con- demning in strongest terms the conduct of Gen. Sedg- wick in’ taking possession of Matamoros. Both the French and Mexican flags were over the forts and Custom-House at Vera Cruz. The Liberals were encamped within 12 mi of Vera Cruz. No hostilities had taken place up to the drps’hm- of the Victor. A train with $200,000 had arrived at Vera Cruz for either the French or Maxi- milian—it was not known which.y Additional Mexican news states that Maximilian, at Hacienda de Teja, had a consultation with his Council Ministers, Bazaine and Casteluau, which re- sulted in nothing definite. Thoe Liberals continfed to advance by every road toward the ital, sweeping e thing before them. The prospects of holding the Capital were small. The French evacuation of Mazatlan, Tepee, Guada- lajara, and other western cities, was f6llowed by the flight of the French and Mexican Imperialists, num- lwrvxg..oma 500, The en country was full of fagitives, generally in the most destitute condition. Desperate cfforts were making by native Im- perialists to maintain Maximilian on the throne after the French leave the country. The preparations for embarking the French are very active. Every train from the interior is crowded with troops, and there are now at Vera Cruz 2,000 awaiting transportation. Somo are Bel- gians. The French transport Rhone was receiving stores, and would immediately receive her comple- ment of troops for home. The artillery had arrived, and the Mentole was to receive and convey it to France. BA frénch frigate and gunboat left Vera Cruz on the 17th, and it is supposed they went to Tampico. They had several hundred marines on board, The steam- ers' Cassandra, Concordia and Victor arrived from New-York with subsistence for the French troops on the voyage home. 2 A letter from Jalaga reports that €olonel Carrillo, late of the Liberal army, with 500 men, had declared for the Tmperialists, - Intelligeneo received on the 16th states that Col.” Lamadrid, an Imperialist, with a small force, wids swronnded near Cnernavaca, and nearly all, inclnd- ing the Colonel, were killed. The body of the latter was badly mutilated, and report says drawn by hogges. A convention of notables had invited Maxi- milian to remain, The United States steawer Ta- homa, Lient.-Com. Gibson, had arrived at Vera Cruz. Lieut. Gibson and staff were to leave for the in- térior, on a special train, on the 20th inst. The object of Lieut. Gibson’s mission is not known, Tulancingo is said to be in possession of the Liberals. Miramon was organizing for a desperate campaign at Queretaro. His admirers say Le will attack at once Guadalajara. Marquez had planted himself at Toluca, 18 leagues west, and was holding Riva Palacios in check. Cuernavaca had been beset by the Federals, who were entrenched around it. The Imperial jour- nals are chuckling over the return of Minister Camp- bell, which is construed into a change of policy at ‘Washington in favor of a monarchical government in Mexico. A NATIONAL CHURCH MOVEMENT — THE ROMAN CHURCH DENOUNCED, New-ORLeANs, Jan. 24.—The Matamoros Ranchero of the 20th says that a new and great movement for the reformnation of the Roman Church was being inangurated threughout Mesico. The Rev. Rafacl Diaz Martinez has been elected Bishop of this new Catholic Apostolic National Church of Mexico, - The object of this movement is to break off from the old Roman Church, for the reason, ns charged, that through Roman influences were sent the French armies which have invaded Mexico and deluged the land with Republican bloed. The Rev. Father Hernandez, who was captored by the Imperialists, was shot by them, after suffering unheard-of atrocities, on the ground that he was a Liveral, and inclined to break off from the Church of Rome. Escobedo had mrrived at San Luis and claimed that 2,000 Liberals had captured the city. The whole of the Siexrra Garda, including the old church party, had pronounced for the Republicans. The Liberals are fortifying Zampico. Treveno was fn San Luis recruiting, Mejia had marched to the protection of the City of Mexico. Eighteen thousand Liberals had surrounded Cuernavaca and the City of Mexico, under Gen. Alvarez. COMIUA STILL HELD BY THE IMPERIALISTS.

RETURN OF MAXTMILIAN TO THE CAPITAL — PROCLA- MATION—DISPUTES WITH THE FRENCH ABOUT CUSTOM-HOUSE DUTIES —SPEEDY DEPARTURE OF FRENCH TROOPS—NOTICE TO FRENCH RESIDENTS IN THE CAPITAL—SUCCESSES OF THE REPUBLI- CANS. From Our Special Correspondent. HAVANA, Jan, 19, 1867, The report that Maximilian had gone to Orizaba was, it appears, unfounded. The French steamer Emperatrice Eugenie, which arrived here on the night of the 16th inst., brings word timt Maximilian had gone to the capital and fixed his residence on an estate called La Teja, not far off. According to all accounts, the econdition of the Imperial regime was daily becoming worse. A draft was to be made in Mexico City to raise troops for its defense, but the prin nhabitants were already in treaty with tho Republican General, Porfirio Diaz, and had offered him a large sum of money to save the city from pillage on the entrance of his forces, which it was supposed wonld soon take place. On the day preceding Maximilian’s arrival, the following placard was posted at the corner of the streets: MexicaNs! The Emperor will arrive to-morrow at the capital, and will fix hisabode at the estate of La Teja. The consoling promises of Orizaba are therefore accomplished, all doubtings are about to be dissipated, all disquictudes 1o be calmed, and all the hopes of the good are about to be realized. s Do you know, fellow-countrymen, what this evént sig- nifies? It signifies that Mexico has at its head a Priuce of a maguammous heart, and that the country can be saved from anarchy, dissolution and death. The return of the Soverelgn to the capital has always been a cause of Joy for its-inhabitants. Much greater ought it to be now, when, rising above everything, he rt, aud his life, on nis sateguard: 1 his hands the comes to of the aliars o Mexcan trigarant bann comes to dle with us, if it is re- quired, for the in ndence and liberty of the nation. et e fly to meet and tell him_ that we are grateful and watriots, gnd let us die by his side as loyalists and cava- iers, contending likewise for liberty and ‘indeper 1 children of the noble city of M 1d opinfons, w 1 5, who can @ por of your name, future of your nation and cror as the first he first patriot, and the first 1 of Mexico; 1 contemplate in this generous Prince the symbol ¥ independence, and our glo ¥ FRIENDS OF NATIONAL INDEFENDENCE. Mexico, Jan. 4, 1867, Maximilian did not however enter the capital, hav- ing gone, as mentioned above, to La Teja; but his arrival there was notified to his subjects in the me- tropolis by the ringing of all the church bells at the hour of his arrival, 11 a-m. on the 5th. The road leading to there was filled with carriages and persons on horseback and foot, desirous to show their adhe- sion to their sovereign; at least the newspapers on the Twperial side in Mexico City say so;'but whether it the case or not, conld only be determined by an ye-witness, as court newspapers like other courticrs, are extremely fond of flattering, and not very much restrained in their language by a regaxd to the trath. The same papers say that the” Emperor a few hours after his arrival helda conference with his ministers, who had been p \iuu.nli/unuumuu-d for that purpose. Miramon, who had left the capital, would, it was 1! lquartersat Leon, in the State of far from the State Capital the City of Guanajuato, which it was reported bad been faken by the Republicaus; rthe,| pur august L s head d g fix hi: but this is ntw_contradicted, although the first re- port is moxe likely to be correct one. Leon, how- ever, at last accounts, was_garrisoned by a force of Mexican Imperialists, the French troops having left it. According to a telegram received at_the office of the Secretary of War in Mexico on the 5th, Miramon had arrived at Queretaro, and sent word on that day of a victory gained bz two of his Geherals (Chacon nzntl '}ilrmrz) over the Republicaus of the City of apotlan, . Maximilian and the French authorities have come into collision about the ment of Custom-House duties. The French authorities at the capital issyed, awhort time n;q-.n circular stating that goods pro- coeding from Vera Cruz, and which were in the Custorn-House of Mexico city, having been passed with the usual formalities, would be given np to their respective consignees, a French agent bein, placed near the Custom-House of the capital l\llfi commissioned to see that this arrangement was car- ried into effect. The same cireular likewise states that the delivery of goods imported by Vera Cruz, and their dispatch from that port, would not be per- mitted in favor of those commercial houses that ve- fused to accept and pay the checks presented from the French treasury for the payment of Custom- Honse doties. On the other hand, Maximilian’s official paper, the Diario del Imperio, published on the 7th, has the fol- lowing : “We are anthorized to make known to the merchants who have goods tu the Custom-House of this capital, pro- ceeding from Vera Cruz, and brought with papers that are not in accordance with the laws of the Empire, that the represcutatives of France are wnauthorized to pMee agents in this Custom-House for the purpose of facili- tating the withdrawal of such goods; for even supposing nvention of the 30th of July was in all its t such representatives wonld still be to the offices of the port, without at ali being ex- tended to the interior Custom-Houses. Wherefore, if the above goods were withdrawn without 4 previous arrange- ment with the respective office of Yexican revanie, their owners would he liable to the consequences in con- formity with tho existing fiseal regulations.” . Everything at the Capital portends an early evacna- tion by the French, anditis oven said that milian will be off at the same time; that he §s now aring himself for such a step, aud that the put- ing off of the National Congress—for which an Assembly of Notables is now to be substituted—is for the purpose of abdicating. His Minister of the Troasury, Campos, has wished to give up his place, being unable to cope with the difficulties that aur- round him. The French Legation in the Capital have issued te the French residents the foliowing circular: LEGATION OF FRANCE, IN Mr.xmo,} January 8, 1867, The Emperor Napoleon has determined that the French residents, who wish to leave Mexico, shall be re€mbarked at the same time as the Expeditionary corps. Persons who lutend to make use of this favor will be pleased to make it known s soon as possible at the office of the Legation. San Luis Potosi was evacuated by 'the Imperialist Gen. Mejia on the 27th nlt., and immediately after- ward the Republicans, who were besieging,it entered. Aquas-Calientes was wnmlod on the by “gh- Republiean Governor of the State, who bas accorded guarantees and liberty to all who were compromised with Maximilian. A sangui fight had taken lace in the neighborhood of Cuernavaca, between Imperia and Liberals, in which-the latter were victorious, the Imperialist Commander, Gen. Lamadrid, bein ot dead on the field of battle. The Republicans, unhu the command of Riva Palaeio, made an attack on Toluea and were ulsed, but four days after renewed their attempt, result was not known when the mail left the capital.

I doubt whether either Russia or Turkey will be inclined to adopt any such settlement. The Sultan is too warlike. Heis full of war. He will listen to no compromise.

Regarding this note as & preliminary of war, it is worth while to consider the relative position of Tur- key and Greece.
