PULSZKY LORD ERNEST VANE TEMPEST. @rom Our Special Correspondent. LONDON, Jan. 26, 1867. Not long ago tho Americans resident in London and the friends of America were considerably scan- dalizod by loarning that Mr. Walter of The London Times had been entertained at Washingten by Col. Forney, and that a large pumber of Rbpul_)llcm‘ll Yopresenting Congress and the press had united in the reception. Mr. Walter had been the most im- placable foo of the United States during the late war. Ho has been the implacable foo of freodom in hiis own country, and it was from his fortross that poisongd arrows have been for a quarter of a century flying at Cobden, at Bright, at every one who was aiming to uplift the people of Eugland. Under these circumstances our English friends naturally ex- pressod very freely their sense of the bad taste of an entortainment acecoded by radicals to the proprietor of The Timwes. The report in some of the American apers that Mr. Walter had experienced a change of {:mm,, and had expressed lis regret at the course of his paper during the American war, excited a general surprise, and called forth the remark that Americans must be green indeed if they jmagined that The Times would swerve from its traditional course of slandering America. Well, Mr. Walter has returned. Col. Fornoy doubtless read The Times, and he will probably be impressed by the American letters and the editorials which have been filling that paper ever since the tidmgs of the proposition to impeach the President came to these shores. He—Col. Forney— will niot fail to find his own name mentioned repeat- edly in these editorials of his friend Walter’s paper. I nood not refer particularlv to the articles. It is enongh to say that the maliznancy, the meanness of “the bleody old Times,” as Cobden used to call it, have novor at any period been more conoentrated than in tho daily leaders which are now directed against Congress, Stevens,Ashley, Forney, and every- body else who is battling for the threatened security and digoity of American institutions. It supports Johuson with precisely the same purpose that it sup- ported Joff. Davis, and by the same systematic Tood. ay it publishes a letter from Washing- ton correspondent detailing. by permission of the President, a conversation with that “humble indi- ‘I'his is the second timo that Mr. Johnson won The London Times as his vehicle for giving the world his private views. When we consider the course of The Times in the late Rebellion, the appro- priatoness of the selection is undeniable. But if Johuson falls none will kick him harder than Zhe Times. It is now engaged in the servile work of eat- ts own words on the subject of the Alabama claims, and a very dirty meal it is. To use John Bright s phrase it “seatters dirt, well knowing that it can eat it afterward,” if it is necessary. I may say here that no proposition has ever excited more enthu- siastic approval among our real friends here than hat to impeach the President. Mazzini said to me the other day: “If the American Republic purges its Presidency of that man, it will be the sublimest sight the world ever saw, and form aa epoch in history.” 1t is probable that hereafter John Bright will, per- wonally, be let aloue by his adversarics. One by one those who have wrestled with him have had the most stunning falls ever received by asmooth set of gentle- men since the world began. Mr, Seymour is in com- plete disgrace for the most inartistic nusrepresenta- tion in The Portwightly Review of Mr. Bright'sspeeches ; Mr. Garth has not even found a sorry defender for personal slanders, for which he could give no better Dasis than that he had heard them, he could not ex- actly say where or when; and Mr. Ferrand, fora similar attack, has only succeeded in unearthing a most b and contemptuous criticism on his own parliamentary career, made by the late Mr. Byng to Mr. Cobden—an autdority which no Englishman can afford to despise. The assertion that the firm of Bright Brothers were stinted toward the suffercrs by the cotton famine in Lancashire, has brought out that they gave as much as suy firm in the Kingdom, though their own losses were great. and that they of- fored more. It also brought tolight that the two Brights had supported, secretly and from their own purse, for many years, an agent whose entire time is given to the relief of the poor in Rochdale. And the eharge of unpopularity among the working classes of his own vicinity has now brought forth a demonstra- tion bythem at Rochdale that not only refutes the slanders, but was really touching—one of those almost romantic incidents which at rare in- e ————— T T — taning-forka at them, tho locturer, like & vfiul. taught each flamo a distinct note or song, and thoe room was at times filled with har- menies as of many olian harps. One flamo that ho exhibited was 50 sensitive that although l% was 20 incheslong, chn.wghum tap on o distantanyi knocked it down to 8 inches, and the dropping of a sixpence threw it into & violent commotion. Another Tlame could not tolerate the utterance of the letter S'and a liss from some one, which the, Professor M sally invited, made it flaro and sbiver in tho st odd and ludicrous way ; yet another dauced in honse to measured sounds. e nent Hunga- sounding scientific ma wy English friends of the emi £ rian M have been much pleased at learning that he is soon to be appointed Curator of Anticuity to the National Musenm of Pesth, which will enublo him to pursue the congenial studies for which, in the midst of his afflictions, he must long. Router's tele- grams having lately connected him with some politi- cal mananyres on the continent, an eveniug paper of London authoritatively denics it, and stafes that ‘M. Pulszky has, in virtue of an imposed necessity, +d himself from political parties and transac- 1 has declined to sit in the Chamber of Dep- § win Landseat’s lions"—ordored in the last gencration by Parliament for the Nelson column pedestal in Trafalzar-square—have at last been com- »d. Ono of them was put up yesterday, and another will rise to-day. There is -mlmhllv to be a fustive colebration over it among the royal beasts in the Zoological Gardens, who have long known Edwin as the most consumate bere in England. —— TURKEY. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR—REVIVAT OF THE CRETAN INSURRECTION—NEW INTRIGUES OF FRANCE TO ANNEX CRETE TO. RGYPT—NON-INTERVENTION CLAIMED BY TURKS AND GREEKS. From Our Special Correspondeat. (CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 16, 1867. The question of war or peaco is still in doubt, but the Turks are hastening their preparations as though they did not intend to leave it in doubt much longer. It is now tho month of the great fast, Ramezan, and during thisj month war cannot be declared, ac- cording to Mohammadan notions. But it is generally understood that the letters of recall of tho Turkish Minister at Athens have already been signed by the Sultan and may ba sent any day. This rupture of diplomatic relations would probably be followed a8 soon as possible by a declaration of war. A lovy of 150,000 conscripts has been ordered and is proceeding with great rapidity. Hospitals are preparing at Smyrna and purchases of war material are going on upon a grand scale at Constantinople. The prices paid are so large that there scems to be plenty of people who are willing to give credit to the Turks. The Grand Vizier and Aali Pasha are stilldoing their Dbest to stem this tide of war, and they are adopting various plans to gain time, in the hopo that some- thing will turn up to save the country. As yet no replies have been received to the noto addressed to the great powers complaining of Greeco. It is im- possible to foreseo exactly what these replies will be, Tt it is certain that they cannot be identical, unless Franco changes her policy altogether. 1do not be- lieve that they will delay the coming war a single week. If they should recommend concessions, the Porto shows no inclination to yield a single iota, and 1 do not believe that the Sultan could be per- suaded to give up anything withont first trying his band at war. Ishould not e surprised if he mani- fested an inclination to take command in the field himself. Ho wishes to rival the old Sultans who made Europe tremble. His army and navy have been, from the heginning of bis reign, his chief pride, and upon them he has lavished tho miHions which ho has gronnd out of his poorfsubjeets. It was with great difficulty that he was persnaded not to go to Crete. In addition to this new forco of 150,000 men the Goverpment is arming the Mussulman population of Thessaly and Epirus, and strengthening all the fron- {ior fortresses. 1f war breaks out the greatest want of the Turkstwill be good officers. We found in our war that it was much casier to raise men than to make officers. The difficulty in Turkey will boa hundred Told greater, for there aro no educated classes fromfwhich officers can o drawn. Durinz the month of December tho rebellion in Créte languished. There were disseusions among the officers. There was an inclination manifested in the Cretan General Assombly to encourago a tem- porary submission, nutil outbreaks elsewhere should give thema better chance. Still the rebellion was to be kept alive in the remoter districts until this better day should arrive in the early Spring. The march of Mustaphia Pasha upon Solines, the heroto- fore undesolated part of the island, seems to have revived the revolution thronghont tho island. He reached Selinos aftor a terrible march, throngh mud and rain, and Larrassed by bands of Candiotes. For threo days bis troops were without food, and the line of his march was marked by dead bedies, the Eayptian treops especially being unable to endure {he hardships of the march. Ho met with no very serions resistance, aud arrivieg at Selinos, be ravaged Sir B tervals Dbloom wupen the bhard face of politics. There was a profonnd earnestness in the voieo of the spokesman who Jast night, with tke workingmen around him, expressed their “sympathy and respect for him nuder the sianders which had been urged against him as ther employer,” and prayed that “ Lis life as an employer and a statesman might long be spared.” There was something nu- usually real in the informal ntterances of feeling and the hearty cheers that were given. Mr. Bright was visibly moved as he arose to reply. After ex- ing his gratitude for their fm-mL p, the orator said in a solemn voice, which thrille * Rely upon it, the slanders that are ut g mo have and are meant to b the effect of reacli- ing aud damaging yon.” 1f the Brights were proved to bo tyrants, theit workmen werc by imiplication slaves and cowairds.

The lectures were delivered be- fore the Government School of Art at Newcastle, of which tiis author was Head Master. The reader is in this work led by the hand of a master and a poet through all the eras of art—throngh Pompeii, Rome, Catacombs—tbrough Latin, Byzantine, and Greek altass and churches: he reads Runic and Celtic inscriptions and_letterings, and learns the meaning of the types and forms wrought in every ago iu brouze, or iron, or clay. There is no other work on its subject at onee so exhaustive and so entertaining. Goma of thought are presented from old writers, whose names alone are known to the ordinary reader. Theee are % engravings by Linton in the volnme, which are very valuable ; one of them is a represen- tation of wha ia supposed to be the ealiest head of Christ—taken from a Mosaic found in the catacomb of St. Calixtus.

At last accounts, unable to return by land, lre was waiting the arrival of his ships to take him round by water, ar being hemmed in by strong bands of insurg: At this moment the whole island seoms to have waked up to new life. Several of the Turkish out- posts were cut off. In ono case, near Arcadi, the garrison of 500 men were driven iuto the houses of the village, and burned to death or shot, no quarter being now given on either side. A later report gives an account of an attack upon a Turkish detachment near Selinos, where the Turks lost some 2,00 wmen, I cannot 8o fully vouch for the.truth of this. The mountain fastnesses of Sphakia are again_alive with rebels and the next effort of Mastapha Pasha is to be against this part of the island. The Turks pite against the Sphakiotes, ¢ have reported over and 0 national sympathy with as they are descendants of the origimal Cretans. Three separato armies are now to attack them at once, aud if they succeed, the 8,000 women and children now there will bo worse off than those who blew themselves up at Arcadi. Aali Pasha says 1o the Ros Embassador her Let them die; they constitute a part of the rebellion, and must tako their chance ;” but when asked to put this cold- Dloode rk on paper, ho declined. 8o says Gen. Ignatioff, who proposes to A the Grand Admiral 10 remove more of the women and children. Thero is good reason to believe th helped on tho first steps of the insn Te with a view to the annexation of the island to Egypt. It is certain that the Viceroy of Egypt c this as the final result when Le sent Creto, and that he tried to bribe the Awerica ¢ to give him Lis aid in the matter. Since has assumed such proportions but little has id of this project, but there is good reason to beliove that it has now been revived.

KXPERIENCES OF LIVING IN PARIS—CURRENT FRENCH JLITERATURE—JOSERI GARIBALDI—TIIE PARIS EX- HIBITION. oy il s 4 PARS, Jan. 18, 1867, We bhavo beon “snowed up.” The snow-fall, which bas been slight witliin the edges of tho Paris basin, lias been extraordinarily heavy in other parts, even the quite Southern part of France, and over other large European spaces. The stopping of mail trains on the railroads has been its loast harm. The stopping of many kindsof bread-gai g work, the increased need of more focd and firing to keep up vital warmth, and the increased prices of these, are graver. The mutton cutlot I ate at breakfast this morning, a workingman's mouthful, cost eight sous in market. Eggs that are, alas! not what Cmsar would have his wifo eat, cost threo sous a piece. But the price of bread, the main staff of tho working Frenchman's )it s the main griovance. A loaf of six sous is scant daily provision for a hearty man who accom- panies iton its downward road with abundant meat and vegetables. What is it for those, and for the wife and children at home, who have to leave out the meat and vegetables? Consequent discon tent, look- ing to popular ficree outbreak, as mob or rovolution, is not menacing. But the condition of the working classes under the iufliction of such prices is most se- rious, and thesubject of serious consideration. The question is seriously debated whether Government should not intervene, as it did in 1563 and 1854, d order bread down to a price less than its real value, making up the loss to the bakery by a spe al finan- cial arrangement. There 1s skrong 1d wise aversion to such a measure; but with the op;mi\'nci(y_ru‘u- toms tax en all articles of food brought into I the abolition of which the Imperial governing thorities of Paris are still more a PCUrTence to that bad palliative measure ma SSAry.

Yet when }: adin, the proprietor of the sheet in question, and ucer of nearly all the improvem aft for a daily tr worked their way slowly Yarisian press, made pli article,’ it was thought very undignifie subjeet of a deal of modern hald and anc witlicisms, But the public that care quick sense of the utility of the rticles with entertainment them, with the carté of an economical family dinner, and the market retail pri- ces of provisions every day. More than that, he has written & book of 35 dinner receipts—receipta for practical good eating—which 18 givel as a premium to all subseribers to La Liberte.

Te the extont it is thus influenced, it is plain to be seen that it is o totally unfit bedy to act on the financial institution. And as the money pressure, which has only just Dbegun, increases in strength and urgency, and the dullness of times increases, which are the natural and inevitable results of our circumstances, thoy will become more and mere unfit for this duty. 1t is to the credit of the seaboard representatives and the great commercial conters, that, with some notable exceptions, Ethey either do not represent selfish interests or they are posssesed of sufficient sense and intelligence to see where the true interest of thesolvent banks and the solvent portion of the country resides, and to vote accordingly. But the House vote on inflation shows that the great, rich, eager, impotuous, bulging West and North-West, is up to its eyes in corn, cattle, and corner-lots at high prices; and in big debts and fancy banking, and other similar laxuries. An analysis of the recent vote in favor of indefinite suspensien and national solvency, shows that Now-York, New—Enghnq.md Peinsylvania cast 44 votes against this pernicious measure to 19 votes for it. It was the thundering avalanche from the North-West that swept through the House and did the business. It is this body of powerful men, who, and whose coustituents, have been at once the victims and admirers of “ wild cat” Dbanking over since that country began to fill. Thero is & magnificence in the idea of an illimitable paper currency that fills their imagination, and malkes them dote on its possession. They have been sealded, and skinned, and stripped by it in the past. It has bankrupted individuals, bankrupted communities, bakrapted States, in that region, but the inhabit- ants are not cared or weaned from their original strong prepossessions in its favor. They almost unanimously hail the existing inflation of the cur- ¢ s a blessing, and some of their leading men even now proposing to add to the fermenting mass, They imagine they have got a sure holding ground in the Government credit, and that no strain they can put upon that credit can Dring it to the breaking point. This perfect view has evidently infected the public mind to a snrprising extent. We hear it often said, that the country needs no better currency than firredcemable paper money. That o broken promise to pay is the highest form of security. Having obtained sucha currency as this, nothing is wanting but to hold on fo what wo have, aud get more of the same sort as fast as possible. 1t is an alarming fact that the Honse of Represen- tives appearsito have fallen into this habit of thought. It seems to have, through the predominance of North- Western votes, becomo a convert to o Velief in the, devilish device of an irredecmable paper carrency, and worshippers of tho “ wild-cat” banking system under a new form. .s a very serious question how to.treat opment. Many of the States of the Union have been driven into bankruptey and dis- ctofore, under less relative pressures of vigh upon the country, What has fore, may bo done again. And with its 1 of obligations, it is not at all a diffi- 1y the Federal Government also into staggering o enlt thing to cs bankruptey. It needs nothing in the workl to do it but a little mis gement of our finances. One fool may set a fire that a tho wise men cannot the country to ion, to accom- extinguish, adopt the policy plish this result effect But, it is said, the House of Representatives don't mean inflation. They do mean inflation. Opposi- tion to contraction means inflation, Refusal to con- tract this year, means expansion next. 'Why refuse to contract T For the old reason@which precedes all bankrupteies s business of the eonntry cannot It produces prossure, failures, collapse.’ But if simple refusal to contract produces no relief, asit will not, and pressure, failures, and collapse still come, what then? Relief in the shape of ex- pansion. Why not? The logic in each case is pre- cisely the samo. If you cannot save the business, the enterprise, the indnstry, the speculations of the country by refusing to contsact, that is of itself evidence that expansion is neeessary, and expansion will accordingly cou 14 is the old story. Men who will not stand np to a policy of reasonable restriction looking toward ultimate resamption, now, will go down like faMing grain before the financial storm reaches its hight, and shelter themselves under in- flation or sny other folly, to escape irom the position of resistance to what they think is theie own inter- ests, or wlat others may short-sightedly think to be theirs, y. then, in fow words that the existing f the House on the financial question means Tuin ‘o the business and the solvency of the conntry, and bankruptey to the Government.

Epglish and its striking contrasts of eve prison statistics, wo belicve, have shown that the ticket-of-leave system is impolitic—to put it mildly. But, however that may be, there must ever be found a warm weleomo for the play which stimulates hu- mane sensibilities and asserts the old doctiune that In tho wrock of human lives Bomethivg immortal stili survives. Wae may, therefore, welcome the present revival of “The Ticket-of-Leave Man” at the New-York Thea- ter, It was acted thore Monday night for tho first time, and was presented with unusual care and taste. The audience was not largo, for an odor which is not of sanctity still lingers about this house, and the patrons of genuine drama are not likely o flock thither in full force until that fragrance be * burnt and purged away.” The performance, thongh, is ono that merits especial attention. Al the facilities of & small stnfim have been employed, with tact and judg- ment. ‘The scenery in the i second, and fourth acts satisfics almost every requiren of the drama. The cast of parts has been skillfully made.

CCOLS trial terminated ye'!m'nlny, the judge directing the jury to find a verdict.or the plaintiffs on the law. This second case, just disposed of, invdlved about $15,060, in itself an amountlarge enough to take to the Buprems Court, the main object in view in again tryiv, this cause, the amount in the former suit being too small to carry u to the higher court. By consent parties, all the evi- dence taken indhe former suit was admitted in this suit, rafsing in fact the same issues and on the same evidence. ‘hem the case was closed, Mr. Courtuey, the United States District-Attorney, submiited his prayers to the Court, asking substantially that the case ‘take the same courso and result in the sume verdict for the Governwent a8 in the former suit. ‘The Court denied the %ru raof the District Attorney. aud took the case frem t ojyu'ry, and on_the law directed a verdict for the plaintiffs.” The groundwork of this de- clsion of the Court on the iaw was, that the first subdi- visions of the act of 1861, l¢ 1% duty on all kinds of ds 1aines, limited the class to “gray or uncolored” delaine and the subsequent act of July 14, 1862, levying an addi- tional duty, did not intend te enlarge this class, but must be considered as simply levying an additional duty on “grly or uncolored” delaines only. And as the goods in 1l is suit were colored delaines, “the additional uty,did not a »xllly( ? thein, and faerefore tho verdict must be for o plaintiffs. m’l‘ District Attorney took such exceptiona thronghout a8 to enablo the Government to carry the case at once to the Supreme Court at Washington, where it will be finally determined whether the jury were right in their verdict in favor of the defendant in the first mut, or tho Court right in its decfslon infavor of the piaiutitts i the second [l A W.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VERBICT FOR TIE GOVERN- MENT—DUTY ON IMPORTED PAPER. " Harper Brothers ogt. 1. A. Swethe This suit was tried yesterday before Judge Smalley, by Mr. 8. G. Courtney and Ethén Allen, Assistant United States District-Attorneys, for the defeudants, axd resulied in a verdict for the Government. The plaintiffs imported a quantity Magazine from Engla 15346, charged a duty of 35 per cent, ad paper. ‘Tho plaintifts contended tha Wits unsized paper, intended for DOWSPApr purposc wit, their Magazine, and under the act of March 3, should pay a duty of 20 per cont only. The plaintiffs onght to put in evidence the fact that, before risking thetr importation, they applied to the naval officer, tho late Moses V. Odell, and was Informedl by him that their importation was entitled to en|r[v| at 20 per cent, as they lms‘cmlund it,and that upen (bis wnderstanding, they proceeded to make their purchases abroad and to nl[fl)n; ut the Court ruled this understanding with Mr, Odell as inadmissitle. The testimony was conclusive that the paper in ques- tion was,sized paper, and,therefore, not within the mean- inz of the statute which spoke of * printing paper un: sized, for books and_newspapers,” as being the class of paper only that could be entered at 20 per cent. It was shown that The New-York Herold and TRIBUNE were printed on paper that had some sizing in it, and because all paper which would take {vrllllmg matter was sized to ater or lesser degree, therefore the paper in ques- ed 23 n fact, was yet intended for newspa- per purposes, and was, therefore, wnsized within the meamng of the law, as Tk TRIBUNE aud Herald were priated on unsized paper. The Court held that It was not a question as to the de. gree of sizing between the paper in “ Harper's Magazine” and that in the daily newspapers, but it was a question of commerce. 1, in trade, the merchandise in question was known as sized paper, the duty was legally assessed. 1f, in tr: t was known as unsized paper, then the duty was illegally assessed, and this was a question for the though ! dence wns all one way: that our newspapers were printed on what wis Kuown in and commerce a3 wnsized paper, and the goods in as known a8 sized paper in the ordinary mean- of paper for their ehich the Collector o, a8 being sized the importation o o gr tion, though an absence of a few minutes, gave a ver- ment Craix fos the_plaintiffs; L.

A, Poppe a3t the Marine Baak. reported mostly vesterday, was con- t for the plammtiff, Tho following isthe charge to the jury, which explains fully the facts: Tho plaintiff afleges that on the ith of Scptomber, 1963, the Marine Bank loaned to him $5,000 in gold, and that ho deposited with the bank §7,500 in greeubacks to secure its return. Hesays that o 3, UPO Pequost of the defendants, ho made further deposits of greenbacks a8 gold advanced, until o had deposited with the de- fondants $10,000 33 sceurity for the loan. He claims that subsequenily and on or about the 8th of May, 1865, ho tendered §5,000 10 gold to the detoiidants and” domanded payinent of the amount he had pledged us security on° $10,000, leas the intcrest on the gold loan: that the ud payment of his claim doelared, and upon that statemont lio secks to recover the amount of his deficit, ‘The defendants meet this theory by a denial. They insist that the transaction which the” plaintiff s narrated never occurred between bim and tho Bank, but t was a private, individual transa aldent of the Bank, made on lis ow I which the Bank had nothin, tion for your we nti blaintiff and the Bank, or betwoen the plai ir. Fish fudividually 1 1f you conclude it was tho latier, your duty will then eud, aml your verdict will be for the defendant, because the plaintiff has fn that order sued Lo Wrong pe It belougs to you to say, upon thie facts and eice roved, betwoon whot tils transaction occurred, aintiff clain that his application was mado to the b in the ordinary way, dealing with 'Mr, Fish as and that he never was advised but that it was made by the bauk. Mr. Fish does not say that he told r. Poppe that the loan was to bo made by him (Fish) individually, but he claims that Mr. Poppo knew it, and’ o pofuts o the manne in which the cheoks were drawn aa evidence of the fact, insisting that Mr. Poppo understood when tho transaction was with the bauk that it-was usual to draw checks, and that be did, the . It you mn-.x he transaction mauhmdumwaum through the then other questions will arise npon your decision on which the nrflhl will depend. The 1oan of gold was made without any time being a for its return. The law,n such cases, makes iy on demand, and until the defendants, by demund, have t tho plaintiff in default, the ?lntuuf{ would have the ght to make & tender of the £old wnd ask & return of the securlty. The question then artses here, was any demand iade on bohalf of the aetcndantd’ 1t 1s) ghoiaes that & demand was made on the 27th of September, o1, that the plaiatift havisg made defuult the was bought in on the 20th at §30,006 35. Now althe this demand and this purchase were in the name of Fish, yet it will be for you to say if you find the loan was madé by the bank whetber this demapd andpirchase were not also on behald of the bank, although in Mr. Fish's name, 1f they were, I do not think their beig in Nr. Fisli's namo of any importance. 1¢ they were mide by him for the benefit of t will bo for you'to say upon a review of the nsaction, they ‘wonld bejust as serviceable to 1t as if made in the name of the bank as in his name with his official titls ap- that KL ,mmll' . But it is claimed by the plamtift he notice to pay served as demand made on the 27t} of Sepletnber, 1864, was waived, Np question bay been raised as to whether the demand was at not having been personally made; but it is elaimed tha when Mr. Poppe’s clerk callod upon the bank aud inf the President that Mr. Poppe was ill, the latter said they would wait then until he recovered. This is denied by the President, and it presents a question of factTor your consideration. If what Mr. Graven, the clerk, testifiod to occurred, then the demand was waived, aud the bank could not proceed until another demand was m and having done so without another de the plaintiff's rights would net ~be affectod. If you find, therefore, on this branch of the caso that the demand was made on beball of the defendant, and that it was not waived, then your verdict will be in thew favor; but if {:u docide that the demand was not made on behalf of the defendant, or that it wns waived, then the plaintiff will be entitied to resover, becauso there ig no coulfict upon the evidence as to the tender mads by hiw; and chma you that upon the absolute re. fusal of the fendants there was 10 neces- sity of any tender, and that, at all even the one made, not being specificall a: ll'wh: find z!r A:: phln‘". oy?:fvfll to, was sufficient. ascertain ant ho should recover by tliia ruke. Yon will ascertain from the evidence--it boing teatified that gold at that time was at from 57 to 33 pef cent pre- minm—the value of the $5,000 gold on the 8th of 55, when the tender was wade ; you will add intereat thaf amount from that day to the present, and deduct that sum from $10,000 aud intercst from May 8, 1855, to this day, and your verdict will be for the differciico, Tho jury rendered n verlict for plaintiff for $3,09, fixing the value of gokl on May 8 at 133, Mr. B.
